In October ten years in Chongzhen, after nearly a month of trekking, the army finally arrived in the capital.
At this time, the atmosphere in the camp began to cheer up, because this is also very obvious. Now that the victory class teacher, the next step is to discuss merits and rewards!
Sure enough, when the army passed through Tongzhou and arrived at Yongdingmen, officials from the Ministry of Etiquette came to express condolences to this victorious army.
Including the officials, the Ministry of War, etc., a celebration banquet was also prepared, and various attention documents were also sent to the army, so that the generals should pay attention to them.
Because it didn't take long for the eunuch from the palace to come to deliver the decree... Let the entire Central Plains camp enter the capital to comfort you! The Holy Admiral personally reviewed the victorious division!
After learning of this news, all the members of the camp were very excited... This is the thing that made a big show! It can even be used as a lifetime talker!
So needless to say, all the generals in the camp all act together, from the general soldier to the ordinary pawn, all sorting out their armor and weapons over and over again. After the military postures and appearances have been sorted out, this Only then began to enter the city with great vigor!
At this time, there were millions of people living in the capital, and after receiving the news, they rushed in!
Of course, this is also very obvious. This time, the Central Plains travel camp played vigorously, and all the Central Plains gangsters were beaten to the ground. How can the people in Beijing not be rejoiced
So after the army entered the city, the enthusiasm of the people was unprecedented...
I saw the crowded water on both sides of the street, and even the eaves along the street were built with walls of people... This kind of atmosphere is as festive as a festival!
And after seeing the army enter the city, it is even more popular! All kinds of cheers one after another! It's like a sea of celebration!
Even the enthusiasm for supporting the army... Various famous snacks in the capital, such as bean noodle cakes, honey twists, are desperately stuffed into the hands of the sergeant...
Even if there are some who can't produce such good things, they still bring a few cooked eggs from their homes to talk about Cunxin... Because this is their soldier...
Seeing this kind of scene, the veteran Yang Guozhu and others blushed with excitement... This is the morale of the people!
Of course, for this victory, the Central Plains camp was also unambiguous. Not only were the armors brightly dressed up and energetic, but the spirit of the army was even more prosperous and the army was majestic! It makes people feel refreshed at a glance!
Of course, among them, the military appearance of the Xuanjia army is the most dazzling. Those well-made Shanwenjia, those shining black blunts, plus the all-colored guy, that kind of spirit...really called it. It's worthy of the world!
And as the army filed into the city, the people began to distinguish the various flags in the army, and then saw the veteran Yang Guozhu and others riding on horses approaching, they all shouted in excitement: "Heroes! Heroes!"
"Yang Junmen! Zhang Junmen!"
This made the veteran Yang Guozhu, the participating general Zhang Yan and others who were riding on horses flushed with excitement, but they kept surrendering their hands to the surrounding people! This kind of enthusiasm, this kind of praise, this is the greatest affirmation to the soldiers...
And when the Xuanjia Army passed by, there was even a cheering sound like a mountain and a sea: "The Xuanjia Army! The Xuanjia Army! The First Army of Datong!"
That kind of cheering is like a landslide and tsunami! That kind of cheering is simply earth-shaking! That kind of cheering is simply an angry man!
This, this... This shocking scene made the marching Xuanjia army all stand tall! Even many people can't help but cry... Of course, this is a tear of honor! This is tears of pride!
Because of such cheers, such boiling people's hearts, is the highest affirmation of them! A good man is fighting all over the world, and he can hear such a voice, and he has no regrets in his life!
Of course, the reason for this is obvious. You must know that the Daming briefing hosted by Li Yan in the capital reports the battle of the Central Plains camp every three days. Among them, there are numerous mentions of the Xuanjia army’s deeds. The storm is falling...
So now the people in the capital know what the Xuanjia Army represents! That is the backbone of the entire Central Plains camp! That is the First Army of Datong! That is Daming's military force!
Of course, there are real achievements in repaying the enthusiasm of the people!
It's like this time, not only the first rank of the gangsters that have been won in the repeated great victories, but also the top ranks of the giant gangsters that have been registered by the Ministry of War, I picked a dozen out, and then put a sign on the back of the head, detailing Their various crimes, such as which city was broken in a certain year and month, how many people were brutally harmed...
When these rogues were alive, they might have passed away for a while, but now... they can only be spurned by the people!
But even so, they were pretty good, because in addition to these dead gangsters, this time they also sent two hundred alive gangsters, all of which were of the most sinful kind, and they were loaded into the prisoner wagons and paraded in the streets!
And these gangsters are miserable. What greets them is not the fragrant capital of the city, but all kinds of rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves! And it was densely packed like rain... Even some rotten eggs were accurately smashed in the face!
Of course, this is the only way for the people to relieve their anger... You of the dog day also have today! Let you have a taste of the harm!
Of course, the people all know that looking at this route, this is just an appetizer, and there will be a scene of killing the living... and cutting these gangsters to death with a thousand knives!
Because only in this way can you relieve your anger! So that these thieves know that the killers will always kill!
So marching forward like this, all the way jubilant, and then the army converged in front of the imperial city wall to accept the review of Emperor Chongzhen.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen had already led Wenwu and his officials to wait on the city. When the army passed under the city wall, looking at the bright yellow figure on the city wall, every sergeant was connected with You Rongyan... We saw the emperor. Ah, this is not a life in vain...
After such a grand ceremony of offering victory was completed, the two hundred gangsters were immediately taken to the Meridian Gate and beheaded for public display! Or more accurately, it is called a thousand swords and a thousand cuts!
After wrapping the body tightly with a fishing net, the muscles bulged out piece by piece, and then using a special knife to cut a thousand knives alive to repay their sins!
Even after the execution, the heads of these two hundred robbers, including those of the giants, and even the heads of the former living Cao Cao Luo Rucai and others, were all stacked into Jingguan for the people to watch! Watch the fate of the country and the people!
And the court needs this victory too much! It will use this victory to declare to the entire world that the court is capable of protecting the people! The imperial power is still there!
After such comfort and victory, he put on a big celebration banquet that day. Chongzhen is also a big deal this time. Not only the civil and military officials have given goat wine to congratulate them, but even the soldiers in the camp have wine and meat! Celebrate!
This night, the entire capital city fell into a carnival!
After the celebration, Yang Shanlu woke up early the next morning... Then according to the itinerary, in the afternoon of this day, the camp will be officially rewarded.
In this case, Yang Shanlu actually has time, that is, he can go to the capital of the capital (Yang's Mansion).
However, since Dayu was able to control the water, he could go through the house three times without entering. Strictly speaking, the reward has not yet ended. He has not yet reported to the Ministry of War, so this mission is not over.
So Yang Shanlu sent someone to Yang Mansion to say hello, saying that he could not go there yet, and his father Yang Sichang also expressed his understanding.
So, Yang Shanlu was about to rest in peace, and when he entered the palace in the afternoon to wait for the award, suddenly there was another eunuch in the palace who delivered the decree and dictated the emperor Chongzhen’s decree... Summoning him into the palace to meet!
Okay, after listening to this orally, the generals in the camp can't help being jealous. They will enter the palace in the afternoon, but now they still have to be summoned in the palace? This is Jane's heart!
As for Yang Shanlu, although he was a little surprised, he felt more joyful... This can be said to be the highest affirmation for him!
In this case, Yang Shanlu immediately took a bath and changed clothes, and under the leadership of the little eunuch, he came to the Forbidden City.
After the scarlet palace gate was opened, I crossed the Jinshui Bridge, passed the Hall of Supreme Harmony and Hall of Harmony, and came to the place where I was summoned...Qianqing Palace.
Qianqing Palace is the emperor’s palace. Chongzhen usually summons ministers, either Shangshufang or Wenhua Hall. Now he summons Yang Shanlu in Qianqing Palace. This grace...
Even the little eunuch who led the way was envious, and he deserves to be a character often read by the emperor...
After entering the Palace of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen was sitting behind a large sandalwood desk, reviewing the memorials, and his confidant eunuch Wang Chengen was standing at the lower left.
When he saw Yang Shanlu's arrival, Emperor Chongzhen was already full of joy, and he even had to get up personally to greet Yang Shanlu.
However, although Yang Shanlu was equally happy in his heart, he was eager to obey the courtesy of the officials. Yang Shanlu knelt down and said, "Chen Datong Town Captive Commander Yang Shanlu, knock on my Majesty! Long live my emperor! Long live!"
After the salute was over, Yang Shanlu stood up and looked at Emperor Chongzhen with joy. He hadn't seen it for more than half a year since the last time he left.
However, when we met again this time, Yang Shanlu found that Emperor Chongzhen’s complexion was pretty good. Although there were still white hair between the temples, there was no increase compared to the last time. Obviously, the national situation has improved during this period. His mood has also improved a lot...
As for Emperor Chongzhen, let alone... Looking at the heroic Yang Shanlu in front of him, the face with a rare smile is already full of joy... This is the Zhen Guo general who I personally sealed! Put down the invincible general of the Quartet for me!
However, he finally managed to restrain his excitement. Only then did the little eunuch who was on his side bring the brocade couch to Yang Shanlu to sit down, and then said happily: "Do you know Zhenguo? Ever since you led the army on the expedition" After that, I have been worrying about it all the time, but today, you have finally returned in triumph!"
Seeing Emperor Chongzhen’s words of deep affection, Yang Shanlu felt a little choked... because he could understand the sincerity in Chongzhen’s words!
He could even feel that in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, in addition to the kind of monarch and ministers, there was even a kind of brotherhood in his eyes! This kind of fate...
Therefore, Yang Shanlu tried his best to restrain his mood and said, "Thank you, the emperor for your concern! In addition, I also ask the emperor to relax. Although the ministers are dull, they are also disturbing today, but the ministers are confident and defend me with a 3-foot blue blade Huang Huang Daming!"
"Good, good!" Chongzhen heard the shouts of applause. He deserves to be the general who bestowed the cousin by himself. This pride! This loyalty...
As for the great eunuch Wang Chengen who served under the head, he was even more emotional when he saw him...
You must know that he served Emperor Chongzhen for decades, but he has never seen a courtier who can be so close to Chongzhen, not to mention that Yang Shanlu is still so young. This future achievement...
But at this time, after the two sat down, Emperor Chongzhen had a look of hesitation.
However, he thought about recruiting him into the palace this time because he wanted to hear Yang Shanlu’s opinion, so he could only say it with a little guilt: "Zhen Guo, you have done a great job with Guoli this time! So this time I call you Entering the palace, I just want to talk to you about the reward, and also want to hear your thoughts..."
At this time, Wang Chengen, who was standing next to the head, said: "According to the emperor's intention, this time it is to be promoted by the original third-grade guard commander, and the second-rank commander will be promoted to the same knowledge. Do you think it’s okay to teach you to be a guerrilla general, and to appoint your mother as a gentleman?"
After hearing Wang Chengen's words, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Yang Shanlu apologetically...
Because this is also very obvious, according to Yang Shanlu's contribution this time, he can't even be promoted to three levels, but the reason why he was only promoted to two levels in the end is that he listened to the opinions of the new chief assistant Xue Guoguan.
What Xue Guoguan said is still very clear. Yang Shoubei has a great meritorious service in the country, but he is only 23 years old now, and he is sealed to a high position. After that, he has made military merits. How can he be rewarded
Emperor Chongzhen felt reasonable and listened to his opinions, but he always felt a little ashamed of Yang Shanlu, so he was specially recruited into the palace, and the monarchs and ministers talked to each other face-to-face, so as not to have a grudge in Yang Shanlu's heart.
After Yang Shanlu listened to it, he really reacted greatly. He just looked at Emperor Chongzhen, who was ashamed of his face, and said very dissatisfied: "The emperor Qi, the minister is very dissatisfied with this award!"
"Ah!" After the emperor Chongzhen heard this, although he was surprised, he felt more apologetic. Chongzhen said hastily: "Zhenguo, do you have any thoughts, just say it!"
As for the great eunuch Wang Chengen on the side, he opened his mouth in shock... He has served the emperor for so many years, and this is the first time someone dared to say this... Is it really too young? You can't say it just like that!
As for Yang Shanlu, seeing the appearance of the two men, he said calmly: "The emperor gave the weirs to the ministers, and the weirs are grateful, but this is not what the weirs really want...
We must know that Weichen was brought up by his mother since he was a child, and he was very laborious. Weichen had long wanted to repay his mother! However, nowadays, the ministers have been repeatedly added to the ranks, and the military affairs are busy, and they can't bear the favor of the knees. Every time they think about it, they are very guilty!
In addition, the mother was not used to eating locally cooked food, so the Weichen boldly asked the emperor to give him an imperial cook, even willing to exchange it for the official post! So that her elderly can be blessed, in return in case! "
"Ah!" Wang Chengen opened his mouth in surprise after hearing this. The so-called Thunder, Rain and Lu are all Jun En. At first he thought Yang Shanlu was the kind of person who didn't know how to advance or retreat, but now, he didn't expect it to be like this. thing! And this is great kindness!
Because the ancients were like this, they believed that loyal ministers must come from filial sons, and if they were not filial, they would not be loyal to the king!
But now, Yang Shanlu treats his mother to his filial piety, and even is willing to exchange official positions. This is a great loyal minister! And such a person, would he still think that the reward is too light
As for Emperor Chongzhen, let alone, besides being surprised, he held Yang Shanlu's hand with excitement: "Okay, good! Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be balanced! Unexpectedly, you are so filial to Zhenguo!
Since this is the case, how can I fail to fulfill it! I will give you the best royal chef in the palace! No, here are two! With all your loyalty and filial piety! "
"Thank you, the emperor! How can the emperor not serve the country with death!"
Yang Shanlu knelt down and thanked him again, and when he got up, both of them had already laughed. They were worried about whether there would be a little estrangement, but now...
And this is exactly what Yang Shanlu’s genius is. Since he can’t give him what he wants, he should try to make up for it from other places... This will calm the hearts of both parties...
And is the guerrilla general officer very small? I think that the generation of military god Qi Shaobao, when he was 23 years old, was only managing the farm, and his official position was only the guard and commander. But now, the 23-year-old guerrilla general? I'm afraid they are the first people to found the country, right...
After finishing this matter, the atmosphere in the hall was great, and Emperor Chongzhen completely relaxed. Then he asked about the expedition in detail.
This is also very obvious, this time the Central Plains war is a battle of national fortune! Even though we won now, how did the memorials make clear the specific circumstances, including those decisive battles
So now that there is a person involved, it is natural to ask clearly.
As for Yang Shanlu, he also explained in detail, including how to kill Cao Cao Luo Rucai, and how he worked hard to establish the victory in the decisive battle afterwards!
He even explained in detail how Zhang Xianzhong, the giant gangster who had been pacified in the end, died.
When Chongzhen heard this, he nodded repeatedly, including Zhang Xianzhong's death, and he also raised his hands in favor... After all, he was in his position, and it was totally helpless to surrender Zhang Xianzhong, but now, this is the best result.
Even when he looked at Yang Shanlu who was talking and talking, there was a kind of joy in his heart... He still remembered that six months ago, in this Qianqing Palace, Yang Shanlu talked to him about the immigration plan of Qiongzhou Island and painted a picture. A bright future...
But now, I really tasted the sweetness, Qiongzhou Island has been able to produce a large amount of grain and rice, and even pay taxes and silver!
And in this way, he will have a lot of money in his reward for the Central Plains camp this time. Otherwise, besides the official position, he really can't get anything else, but now, all of this is his town. The general’s contribution...
In this way, the monarch and his subjects had a lot of fun. After talking for a short half an hour, suddenly a corner of the bright yellow dress was exposed beside the pillar outside the hall.
"Hey, where is who?" Emperor Chongzhen asked strangely when he saw him.
"The son has seen the emperor father—" Seeing that he was discovered, a small figure walked out from behind the pillar timidly. This is a little loli, but she was ten and eleven years old, but Yang Shanlu had seen it. Once the little princess Zhu Yuxuan, that is, the princess Changping in the future.
Little Lolita has not seen her for a year, but she has grown more sweet and lovely. The flower-like little face is pretty and sweet. It is extremely natural and innocent, and the blushing little face is looking up at this moment, which is even more innocent and lovely.
And the gaze that is so pure and without any impurities makes people intoxicated by looking at it. It is indeed Da Ming’s little princess...
Emperor Chongzhen was very happy with his beloved daughter. He was not easy to blame when he saw him. He just asked curiously: "You don't read women's training in the harem, why are you here?"
Little Lolita just giggled and said, "I heard that General Zhen Guo has come into the palace, so I came to meet you!"
is it? Yang Shanlu looked at the little Lolita and Zhu Yu, and felt very kind. You must know that it has been a year since the last time I met, but when I see it now, it is still so beautiful and cute.
"Weichen has seen her Royal Highness—" Yang Shanlu solemnly bowed a polite way. Although the little loli in front of her was a cute little loli, her identity was extremely noble.
As for our little Lolita Zhu Yu, she giggled when she saw it. After Yang Shanlu finished the ceremony, she came to Yang Shanlu in the same way, and the one who was serious about it also bowed to him: "Yu'er has seen it. Brother General—"
Seeing her look like a small adult, Chongzhen couldn't help but smile and said, "Yu'er, why do you salute Zhenguo!" After all, according to her identity, this is absolutely unnecessary...
Little Loli Zhu Yu said solemnly: "Because Brother General is my Da Ming’s Jiahai Zijinliang! Brother Yang killed so many bad guys outside. My son is so happy! So I want to thank my brother on behalf of the people of the world!"
Okay, Chongzhen laughed when he heard it. This Jiahai Zijinliang's statement was still heard from him, and he used it to praise Yang Shanlu, but now...
And our little princess, Zhu Yu, obviously likes the handsome and handsome Yang Shanlu, after all, there is no such man in the palace, not to mention that she often hears Chongzhen talking about Yang Shanlu...
So little Lolita just jumped on Yang Shanlu's knees and said: "Brother Yang, when my son grows up, will you marry you?"
"Ah!" Yang Shanlu couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it. This is really childish... Let's not talk about the status of the two people. They are more than ten years apart in their age. Is this okay
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen also laughed and cursed: "My son, don't talk nonsense!"
However, despite what Chongzhen said, his eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at the two of them... That is to say, the child is a little younger, otherwise you can really consider...
And after such a long talk, Yang Shanlu left the palace and returned to the camp station, but in this way, the generals of the camp were envious...
Generally speaking, it takes a quarter of an hour to enter the palace, but this one has been there for a long time! This grace...
But they all know that cows eat straw and ducks eat grain. This is a personal blessing. Envy is not enough.
In other words, they are still looking forward to the reward in the afternoon...
After all, according to the credit they made, it is enough to rise to the next level... (End of this chapter)
