Xi Chenzhou personally helped Tong Su back to the holy throne, and then turned back to stand with the soldiers. Someone in the palace began to recite the imperial edict, detailing the northwest army's contribution to guarding the border and destroying the Beirong.
The soldiers knelt down to listen to the order and shouted to protect the country, defend the family and be loyal to the Holy One.
Xi Chenzhou brought 300,000 border troops back to the capital, but there were still hundreds of thousands left to guard the border. This imperial edict would then be rushed to the northwest together with the rewards, and read out to the soldiers who had not yet returned.
The rules of the Dakang Dynasty were different.
The victorious soldiers entered the city early in the morning. The late emperor was considerate of their hard work and allowed everyone to rest for a day. Near evening, he held a banquet in the palace to reward them.
After welcoming the soldiers into the city, Yunzong left in a hurry, and Tongsu also returned to the palace accompanied by Qinghe.
"He's so good-looking."
"Yes, yes, General Xi is of course the most beautiful!"
"I have never seen such a brave and handsome man."
"Of course, Your Majesty! All the princes in the capital regard being charming and delicate as their beauty. How many of them can be as brave and strong as General Xi?"
"He is more capable and capable. He can carve out a world for himself without any help from his family."
"That's right! General Xi defeated the enemy camp at the age of seventeen. He sealed the wolf as a coroner at the age of twenty. Now he has slaughtered the Beirong and stabilized the northwest of Dakang. He is indeed the strongest!"
Qinghe expressed his great admiration for General Xi Chenzhou, and Tongsu became more and more curious. She couldn't wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, which she wasn't originally interested in.
"According to General Xi's achievements, no prince can escape when he returns to Beijing to discuss merits and rewards - there are many titles and lands, but the best ones should be selected."
Tongsu made up her mind and didn't tell anyone.
She was eagerly looking forward to it, but when Yun Zong came to test him again, she still pretended to be the same as before, and she never liked the rough and despicable appearance of people who joined the army.
Sure enough, Yunzong did not become suspicious and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is not happy, so just ignore him. I asked the Hanlin Academy to draw up several titles for General Xi, and your Majesty can choose one from them."
Tong Su unfolded the paper handed over by Yun Zong, and wrote several words on it, "Marquis of Pingyang, Marquis of Wuyang, Marquis of Xuanping, Marquis of Qinghe, Marquis of Xinwu, Marquis of Fenyin...". The meanings and connotations were quite satisfactory, without any highlights.
She said lazily: "It's not good either."
"Oh? None of them are good? So, Your Majesty, what do you think?"
She glanced at Yunzong deliberately and mockingly: "What insights do you have, is it useful? Why don't you remember the imperial edict you gave me honestly and recite it when you get there? Is Gu Xiang's title really useful?"
Yunzong did not doubt it and said with a smile: "If your Majesty really has a good idea, you should naturally obey your Majesty's orders. As it turns out, I will first hand over the imperial edict that lacks the title to your Majesty. Whatever your Majesty thinks of, you can follow it at will." Just fill it out.”
Yun Zong didn't think the little queen could come up with any nice title, and he was even more looking forward to making a big mistake when the time came, so that Xi Chenzhou would be embarrassed and both the queen and the queen would hate each other.
Tong Su sneered in his heart, and stamped the jade seal on the imperial edict in front of Yunzong, without filling in the title, and drove him away first.
Yun Zong walked out of Qianqing Palace and let out a light chuckle.
His staff followed behind and said: "Nine thousand years old, your Majesty is becoming more and more arrogant and willful, and he does not take you seriously. This is not a good sign."
"What are you afraid of?" Yun Zong didn't care. "She is just a stupid and willful yellow-haired girl. She is impulsive and short-sighted and has no worries. What are you afraid of her?"
