On the way back to Shangdu, Luo Wei and Long Xuan acted independently and did not interfere with each other. Luo Wei only walked in the middle of the army, while Long Xuan stayed in the back barracks. The two of them hardly ever saw each other except for seeing each other at dinner and talking to each other for others to see.
Da Zhou's dynasty rules, military and government have always been in the same way, so Long Xuan and Luo Wei's army all the way back from Yunguan to Shangdu, the towns and yamen along the way only put wine on the official road that the army passed by, and the right to be Celebrate the victory of the army.
I don't know if it was because of Wei Lan's careful care that Luo Wei followed the army along the way, eating the army's big pot of rice and sleeping in the army tent. , the hard work is still the same, but Luo Wei's body has never been sick again.
Imperial Physician Wei was relieved, and if Luo Wei continued like this, after returning to Shangdu, he would be able to deal with Emperor Xingwu.
Seeing that Shangdu was in sight, the officials of the Ministry of Rites sent by Emperor Xingwu to greet them also rushed to the army. After dinner that day, Long Xuancai stopped Luo Wei and said: "Tomorrow you will enter Shangdu, you will be here today. Take a shower."
Everyone in the tent looked at Rowe. On this march, everyone couldn't be refreshed and clean. Luo Wei was already good. At least his clothes were new, and his face was not even dirty. Can rub out mud.
"Tomorrow, you will be the leader," Long Xuan said, pointing to Luo Wei's hair tied with a gray silk headband, "The dust on your head is not good."
Luo Wei didn't have time to wash his hair for several days. He looked at Long Xuan. This person is not like him, and his hair can be unearthed. "Master Feng," Luo Wei asked the Lord Shilang from the Ministry of Rites: "We are so dirty, we can't enter Shangducheng?"
Lord Feng, neither Luo Wei nor Long Xuan wanted to offend him, he said with a smile: "Tomorrow, His Majesty will go out of the city to welcome the army in person, and the people of the whole city will also clean water and splash the streets, pave the road with loess, and wait for the army to triumph and return to the dynasty. Jialiang, full of heroism, couldn't be better."
"Everyone heard what Master Feng said?" Luo Wei said to the generals in the account: "Wash yourself clean today," Luo Wei threw the curtain and walked out.
Master Feng said that neither of them was offended, but seeing Luo Wei like this, he knew that he still offended the third son of Luo.
Long Xuan showed kindness today, and when he walked past Lord Feng, he comforted the uneasy Lord because he had offended Luo Wei, "Luo San Gongzi is not a person who doesn't know what's good or bad, he knows that the Lord is talking good things. , I won't blame you."
Lord Feng agreed to Nuonuo, and said a few more words to Long Xuan with a smirk. He was born in a poor family, and he didn't have much capital to allow him to walk freely in the court. Lord Feng has always been a neutral person, and he believed that he could not interfere in the matter of seizing the throne. Seeing Luo Wei and Long Xuan like this today has strengthened Lord Feng's mind even more.
The night passed quickly, and after dawn the next day, this army of expeditions set off on the northern city of the capital.
Emperor Xingwu took his civil and military officials to stand outside the north gate of Shangdu. Luo Wei went through this door, and today he naturally wants to welcome Luo Wei back at this north door. Hearing the sound of horns in the army in the distance, Emperor Xingwu began to look at the army that appeared in his sight. As the triumphant army was getting closer and closer to Beicheng, Emperor Xingwu only wanted to find Luo Wei in this army.
Luo Ze, who had already healed his wounds, escorted behind Emperor Xingwu at this moment, watching the army returning with the sound of victory trumpets, Luo Ze was full of envy.
"Yuxuan," Emperor Xingwu called Luo Ze and said, "Look for me, where is Xiaowei?"
Luo Ze said: "Your Majesty, Yunqi should not be walking in the front army, you can't see him here."
Crown Prince Long Yu, who was standing on the left of Emperor Xingwu, said, "If your father wants to see Yunqi, you can send someone to pass him to the front of the army."
"He is the first servant of Wushuang City to return, why doesn't he walk in the front army?" Emperor Xingwu suddenly felt bad.
The third prince Long Xing said: "Father, Yunqi is not a general in the army after all, and he is not good at walking in front of the former army."
"Zhao Fu is going to pass on my will," Emperor Xingwu ordered Zhao Fu, who was beside him, to say, "Let Xiaowei come to the former army, and this time I will reward him in public."
"Your Majesty," Luo Zhiqiu hurriedly said after hearing Emperor Xingwu's words: "Luo Wei is still young, and the return of Wushuang City this time is also the credit of all the soldiers. How can Luo Wei take this great credit alone?"
Although Luo Zhiqiu, as Luo Wei's father, said such humility is beyond reproach, but Emperor Xingwu still didn't like it, "Okay," Emperor Xingwu said to Luo Zhiqiu, "Xiaowei is also a disciple of Zhen, and the amount of credit he deserves depends on how much he has done. I know very well that there is no need to say anything more to the left minister. This time, I will reward the ministers who have made meritorious deeds," Emperor Xingwu said to Wenwudao, who was standing next.
"Your Majesty Shengming," the civil and military ministers bowed together. The battle reports from the front came one after another, and the ministers also knew that the return of Wushuang City did not seem to have damaged many soldiers, but the danger was far better than the direct slaughter of the two armies facing each other with swords. Everyone knew that Emperor Xingwu favored Luo Wei, and they all secretly guessed what kind of reward Emperor Xingwu was going to give Luo Wei a few days ago.
While the monarch and minister were talking here, the former army of the army had already arrived at the northern city. Long Xuan stomped off his horse, walked a few steps with the generals behind him, and knelt down in front of Emperor Xingwu.
"Pingshen," Emperor Xingwu could now see Long Xuan with a smile on his face. Luo Wei's contribution this time is not small, and Long Xuan's contribution is equally not small. If it is said that the first merit, Long Xuan and Luo Wei are the same as the first meritorious minister.
Long Xuan got up and said to Emperor Xingwu: "Imperial father, this son has not disgraceful to the holy will, and returned with a great army in victory."
"Okay," Emperor Xingwu beckoned Long Xuan to come closer and looked up and down at his son. After an expedition, Long Xuan was a little dark, but his face was as handsome as ever, lined with a mighty battle armor, the whole person was very handsome . "Xuan'er," Emperor Xingwu patted Long Xuan's shoulder, "You have worked hard, Wushuang City has returned, you have finally fulfilled a wish of my royal family of the Long family, and the royal father is relieved."
When Long Xuan grew up, how could he have been treated like this by Emperor Xingwu? There was a lot of emotion in his heart, but he still said to Emperor Xingwu: "This is the credit of the three soldiers who went to Beiyan this time. Long Xuan dare not greedy for this great credit."
"Victory is not arrogant, this is my son!" Emperor Xingwu was even more satisfied now, patted Long Xuan's shoulder, and said to his civil and military officials: "I have ten sons, this son is outstanding and fits very well. I mean it!"
As soon as Emperor Xingwu said these words, many eyes quietly turned to Prince Longyu.
"Second brother," Long Yu said with a look of joy, looking at Long Xuan: "You fought beautifully in this battle."
"Big brother has talked too much," Long Xuan said to Long Yuqian, receiving such high praise from Emperor Xingwu, Long Xuan still showed a humble look in front of Emperor Xingwu and Long Yu.
There was the sound of horses' hooves, and just as everyone present turned their heads to look, they saw Emperor Xingwu raised his hand and waved, shouting loudly, "Wei'er!"
