The next day.
The warm breeze is shining, the sun is shining, the sky is blue, and the blue is like washing. This weather is like understanding people's hearts. It's great!
The people of the whole city of Kyoto gathered on South Street early in the morning, separated into two rows, with excitement and joy, welcoming the return of their triumphant hero!
The Emperor and Empress of Ming Dynasty rode on a dragon's gazebo, brought hundreds of civil and military officials, princes and princesses, and relatives and relatives out of the city to greet them ten miles.
The victorious division of the Southern Expedition drove all the way, and finally arrived outside Jin'an City at this hour.
The flag of the country of Ming Dynasty hunted and danced among the three armies, the loud horn of returning to Beijing resounded over this side, and the three armies were solemn and stand tall!
In front of the three armies, a row of ten generals in uniforms stood side by side on horseback. Lei Yue was in the center, with unspeakable excitement faintly flashing on his carved face like a knife. On the left, Mo Qilin raised his sword eyebrows diagonally, full of heroism, and Lin Mengqing was proud of the world. And Li, in the beautiful allure, the masculinity is unabated. On the white horse on the right, the silver-faced uniform is under the sun, reflecting the awe-inspiring aura. The deep eyes hidden under the mask are still cold and arrogant. Nee, with the domineering return of the king!
"dismount!"
Lei Gaogao shouted, the generals dismounted, and the three armies bowed to the ground and bowed! "Long live my emperor long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live! K long live long live long live my emperor long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live!
Mo Yuming stood at the front of the hundred officials, and the queen stood beside him. At this moment, his majestic gaze scanned the soldiers who made contributions to Daming Mo's rivers and mountains. Hearing the sound of kowtow that shattered the sky, he looked again. As far as that silver surface was reached, the excitement and ecstasy were beyond words!
"The generals are flat--"
"Thanks to the emperor--"
Mo Yu said clearly, "Hundred officials thanks the three armies!"
One hundred civil and military officials went out and knelt down three times!
"The prince and the prince thank you to the army! Thank you Daming soldiers for fighting hard to protect me and the people of Daming!" Mo Yuming shouted twice.
All the relatives and relatives who came here took the order to take the lead, including the four princes, other uncles, grand princes, princes and sons, as well as the fourth prince Mo Lixuan, and the princess Moya, who finally shrank into the crowd. , The unsuspecting concubine Ling Xueman who was dozing off by Mo Yaqiang!
It’s all because I was chatting with Concubine Mo Ya for too long last night. I didn’t get enough sleep. I was called by the maid in five more days. So at this moment Ling Xueman is as decadent as the ghost who saw him off at Xuanhua Gate a year and a half ago, except for the eyes. Apart from the swelling, there is no energy at all!
A distance of three feet away, two special women only bowed their heads and bowed to the crowd three times, but they never noticed. The two scorching eyes followed closely from the moment they took their steps!
After three bows, she raised her head, Mo Yafei looked straight ahead out of curiosity. At this glance, her brain was dizzy, her expression stiffened on her face like petrification, and her eyes stared at Mo Qi without blinking. Next to Lin, that Zhuo Zhuangli, like a man who was banished to an immortal!
The heart almost jumped out of his throat, he, is he Lin Mengqing? How could he be the Southern Crusade? Or a general
Ling Xueman patted her mouth lightly, yawned indecently, and looked forward to the end of the welcome scene, so that she could go back to sleep, and when she was about to retreat, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Concubine Mo Ya's abnormality and wrinkled. Frowning, following Mo Yafei's gaze, she first saw Mo Qilin, and she immediately lifted her mood. She smiled brightly and beautifully!
This smile shook Mo Qilin's eyes, and even more shook Mo Qihan's heart standing on Lei Yue's right!
A year, six months, and eleven days of longing, returning from a thousand miles away after nine deaths, at this moment, looking at the distance is only three feet away, the real is no longer the beloved woman in the dream, Mo Qihan’s eyes become immersed in an instant, The corners of his eyes are wet, and he holds the big hand of the sword hilt at his waist. In the indescribable excitement, he keeps tightening. I can’t wait to stand up to her, hug her into my arms, never let go, and kiss her. Tell her, Longman, it’s me, I’m back, fulfilling my promise, Xue Yi Hanshuang’s eyebrows are raised, life and death are inseparable to the end...
Deep eyes stared at the familiar face, but at this moment, he was so lost. He just saw her decadent appearance at a glance, and his heartache was twisted. However, she raised her eyes, and the water-like eyes just passed him strangely. , Swept across Lei Yue, and then fixed on Mo Qilin's face. The drooping face instantly burst into a dazzling brilliance because of Mo Qilin. The smile on the red lips, a smile all over the city, charming, fascinating, Yu Guangli , He caught a glimpse of Mo Qilin's face pretending to be calm, but there was also suppressive excitement in his eyes!
My heart suddenly felt like being hit by a heavy hammer, and it was so painful to breathe. If she knew that Mo Junlin was her concubine, if she knew, he would stand in front of her, and her charming face should have blossomed for him. …
At the other end, Ling Xueman happily wanted to call Mo Qilin, her mouth opened, and because of the occasion, she did not dare to scream, so she squeezed her eyes playfully, blinked her eyelashes, and her smile became more dazzling.
While Mo Qilin was pleased, he suddenly "cocked" in the bottom of his heart, and quietly glanced at Mo Qihan with his light. All of a sudden, there were all kinds of complex emotions in his heart, such as sorry, helplessness, loss, and sadness. , Sad...
After saying hello, Ling Xueman shifted her eyes slightly. When the focus was on the beautiful and flawless face that made her ashamed of a woman’s dream, she was unprepared and yelled aloud. Out, "Fairy man!"
As soon as these three abrupt words came out, Lin Mengqing, who was looking at Concubine Mo Ya affectionately, softened her legs, and one stagger almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Mo Qilin and Yu Canjun were supported by the left and right sides, handsome and handsome. There was a black cloud on his face, and gritted his teeth a vague sentence popped out, "Damn woman, it's endless!"
And this solemn and solemn scene immediately became agitated by the "fairy man" from the mouth of the Four Queens, and by the gaffe of the very famous Deputy General Lin!
All kinds of shocks, doubts, and guesses were cast on these two people. Mo Qiyan's gentle and handsome face instantly became stiff, and there were many doubts in his heart!
Mo Qichen was surprised at one thing, that Vice-General Lin really looked outstanding like a fairy!
After Mo Qiyu smacked his tongue, he gritted his teeth and glared at Ling Xueman, clenching his fists angrily!
Mo Qiming's eyes tightened instantly, his eyes shot at Lin Mengqing like an arrow, wishing to pierce his heart with ten thousand arrows!
Mo Yuming and the queen also glanced suspiciously at Ling Xueman, then looked at Lin Mengqing, whose face was like charcoal, and finally cast them on the face of Concubine Mo Ya who had recovered from the sluggishness and couldn't laugh or cry at this moment!
Mo Yuming asked in a low voice: "Ya Fei, what's the matter?"
"Father, the fourth sister-in-law and I knew Master Lin together. The fourth sister-in-law thought that Master Lin was too good-looking, so she said that Master Lin was a fairy man." Concubine Mo Ya was embarrassed and used her veil to cover it. He explained in a low voice.
"Ahem, this girl!"
Mo Yuming frowned and watched the commotion of the three armies, clearing his throat and raising his tone: "The three armies drink the royal wine. I respect the soldiers and three bowls of wine, and then immediately enter the city to celebrate with the whole world and celebrate the territory. Go to Daming!"
"Long live the emperor--"
More than one hundred thousand soldiers held their wine bowls above their heads. Mo Yuming raised his hands high, and then leaned them up. The soldiers drank three bowls amidst cheers, and the command "March!" was issued, and the victorious division swaggered towards Jin'an City. go ahead!
When returning to the city, Ling Xueman and Concubine Mo Ya were summoned into Long Nian.
"Long Man, how can you lose your dignity in front of the three armies?" Mo Yuming stared slightly and rebuked.
"Father, I'm sorry, I was excited for a while, uh...never dare to do it again next time!" Ling Xueman was embarrassed and smirked again.
Mo Yu understood with a glance, and said in anger, "Is there another time? It depends on the occasion in the future. I can also let you be foolish, understand?"
"I understand, I understand, I understand!" Ling Xueman nodded like garlic.
"Also..." Mo Yuming cast his gaze on Concubine Mo Ya, and said lightly: "Also, don't call General Lin arbitrarily in the future. I'm planning to hire him as a messenger. Isn't this going out to make people laugh?"
"The horse?!" Ling Xueman was thundered, looked at Concubine Mo Ya with red cheeks dizzy, and exclaimed: "You two really got together?"
Mo Yuming stared at Ling Xueman, "You girl is really speechless!"
"Uh, count me wrong, I'll correct it!" Ling Xueman lowered her head and drooped.
Concubine Moya pursed her lips, and asked carefully: "Father, why is Young Master Lin in the army? Why is he a general? He said he was going to go to war if he wanted to go to Beijing to do errands?"
"This is a long story, and you will know in the future. He has made such achievements and made so many achievements. It is also a matter of reason for me to marry the princess to him. Haha, Yafei , Other women married and had children so early like you. I left you until nineteen and haven't moved yet, that is, waiting for Lin Mengqing to return!" Mo Yuming smiled satisfied.
"Father!" Concubine Mo Ya blushed and held the Queen's arm. The shyness of her daughter's family became full. "Mother, Queen Father is making fun of me!"
"Haha, the male college is married, the female college is married, Ya'er should put on the dowry!" The queen patted the back of Mo Ya's hand and smiled lovingly.
Ling Xueman's drooping eyes suddenly burst into tears, where should she marry
Seeing Ling Xueman's loss, the queen pressed her lower lip lightly, touched Mo Yuming's arm, and gestured to her chin.
Mo Yuming is even more embarrassed, how can he comfort him? The son repeatedly confessed that he was not allowed to leak a word, but now that the girl looked sad, he couldn't bear it. After a few lips were opened, he deliberatedly said: "Manman, today... have you noticed that madam? General?"
"No, what should I pay attention to him?" Ling Xueman raised her eyes slightly, sniffed, and grinned her lips pretendingly.
Mo Yuming let out an "Oh" and stared at Ling Xueman for a long time before slowly saying, "General Mo is a rare general and talented person of mine. He looks handsome..." The voice stopped, and he paused for a while. , Looked at Ling Xueman's puzzled eyes and pursed her lips: "Manman, you are only seventeen years old, if you want to marry again..."
"Father!" Ling Xueman understood a little bit, she couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, her eyes darkened, and she raised her eyes and chuckled: "Father, since I am the princess of the husband, I want to call you father, daughter-in-law. It's a half daughter. Doesn't my father want me as a naughty daughter?"
"Long Man!"
The three people in the car said at the same time. Mo Yuming and the queen were both sad and touched. Concubine Mo Ya was shocked. Finally, the father opened this kind of grace. What a long time...Oh!
Along the way, there was no more words in the car.
As soon as I entered Jin'an City, I heard the people's passionate shouts one after another!
"Welcome to the triumphant return of the Southern Crusade!"
"General Mo!"
"Marshal Lei!"
"Long live the emperor! Long live Daming!"
…
Ling Xueman couldn't help being curious. He gently raised a corner of the curtain and looked out. On both sides of the wide street, the Imperial Forest Army and the Imperial Guard maintained order. The people were boiling no less than the audience in the Olympics!
He slapped his tongue, because Mo Yuming meant something earlier, Ling Xueman naturally shifted his gaze to the back of Long Nian, and over the heads of the five rows of guards, looked at the silver-clothed and silver-faced man sitting on the horse. Looking carefully, it is a pity that the mask covers most of his face, and he can't guess what he looks like. General? Talent? Handsome? A smile overflowed Ling Xueman's lips, the emperor actually wanted to marry her to that cold-faced general? Is this to prevent the second prince and the third prince from quarreling because of her
However, the cold-faced general seemed to perceive that she was looking at him quietly. The face that was looking ahead suddenly deflected, and those deep eyes shot straight over, and the peeping was discovered, Ling Xueman couldn't take a closer look, busy. Panicked and lowered the curtain, so scared that he raised his hand and patted his chest, a small face turned white.
"Manman, what's the matter?" the queen asked strangely.
"Uh, no, it's okay." Ling Xueman shook his head, feeling a little frightened. She, who had always been daring, didn't dare to meet the cold-faced general's eyes? With a sigh of relief, Ling Xueman intuitively felt that he had a fever!
Mo Yuming twisted the car curtain suspiciously and looked in the direction that Ling Xueman had just looked at. He met Mo Qihan's gaze, suddenly became clear, nodded slightly, then let go of the car curtain, jokingly saying: " It’s so long, it’s okay to see, sooner or later... it is also to be seen."
"Ah? What do you mean?" Ling Xueman's face twitched wildly, puzzled.
Of course, Mo Yuming's face was unpredictable, ignoring her question, closed his eyes and went to rest.
Looking at the queen again, Ling Xueman said, "Mother Queen..." The queen smiled, then shook her head and stopped speaking.
"Concubine Ya, do you touch my head and see if I have a fever?" Ling Xueman took Concubine Mo Ya's hand and put on her forehead. How could she feel that something was wrong!
Concubine Mo Ya was also at a loss. She shook her head honestly and said, "There is no fever."
"Ugh--"
The brigade was advancing. I don’t know how long it has been, but the chariot stopped suddenly, and Li Dehou’s voice came from outside the car, “King, the emperor, the Four Princes’ Mansion is here!”
Mo Yuming opened his eyes and looked at Ling Xueman and said: "Manman, get off the car, you don't need to enter the palace, stay in the palace, you can't run into the street, understand?"
"Uh, I'm going back now?" Ling Xueman's eyes widened in surprise.
"Yeah." Mo Yuming nodded, and added: "If you don't have my will, from now on, you can't take a step out of the Four Palaces, understand?"
"Oh." Seeing Mo Yuming's serious expression, Ling Xueman nodded without daring to ask more, got out of the carriage, and under the watchful eyes of the people in the city, the three armies, and hundreds of officials, he stepped into the Four Palaces, behind him the gates of the Four Palaces slowly Closed, the guard stood still, expressionless.
Entering the imperial city, Baiguan stood quietly in the Jinluan Hall, standing in two rows of civil and military. Mo Yuming sat high in a dragon robe, Li Dehou looked serious beside him, and looked forward.
"Long live the emperor!"
Under the golden palace, a hundred officials bowed to the ground and bowed.
"The battle between my Daming and Nanzhao lasted more than a year. All of my soldiers fought bravely and raised my daming national prestige on the battlefield. Whenever I receive the memorial above, I am very grateful. Today, the whole country is celebrating. Reward the three armies and honor the meritorious officials!" Mo Yuming smiled, and his energetic voice penetrated into the Golden Temple, "Li Dehou, declare!"
"Yes, the emperor!"
Li Dehou took out the three imperial edicts from his sleeves and unfolded the first one, and the shrill voice sounded in the hall, "Feng Tian, the emperor called: Feng Nanzheng Marshal Lei Yue is Ping Nan Hou, and bestows Ping Nan Hou Mansion, reward One yellow horse hexagram, ten thousand gold! Entitled Yu Hao to join the army as a general of fat cavalry, reward ten thousand silver! Seal..."
"Long live the emperor!"
After a hundred officials kowtow, and a group of generals kowtow to the emperor, Li Dehou launched the second imperial edict.
"Feng Tian, the emperor called: Lin Mengqing, the deputy general of the Southern Expeditionary Army, has outstanding military exploits, both civil and military, and I admire and admire him. He is specially awarded the title of general to command the Gyeonggi Imperial Guards. Therefore, General Lin Mengqing has a precious character and a young talent, so he was recruited as a man of the Ming Dynasty, gifted to the princess of the elegant concubine, and married another day! Thank you for this!"
"Long live the emperor!"
Hundred officials kowtowed again in consternation, Lin Mengqing kowtowed gratefully, "Mengqing, thank Lord Longen!"
The third imperial decree was taken out, and Li Dehou's gaze fell on the masked general Mo Junlin who was kneeling behind Lei Yue, and said respectfully: "Please, General Mo, please come out!"
Mo Qihan got up without hesitation, took a step closer, and knelt down again in the middle without saying a word.
"Following the heavens, the emperor called: Among the princes in my view, only the fourth son of the emperor is not respectful and modest, and has a noble character. If I bow in the night, I will be able to overcome the grand domination. According to the ancestor system of the Ming Dynasty, He was registered as a crown prince. Although my princes have many talents, talents, resolute and courageous, famous emperors, but they cannot be emperors. I hope that all the princes and nobles will do their best to assist the government and fulfill my wishes. Thank you!"
When the third imperial edict came out, like a thunder on the ground, it shattered the ears of all the people who would vent their anger on the Jinluan Hall, and even outside the hall, officials below the fifth grade, the big inner guard, the imperial forest army, the eunuch lady and so on!
Li Dehou's shrill eunuch's voice, the last one fell, and it still circulated and echoed in the golden hall for a long time!
No one believes, and no one dares to believe that the imperial edict is true just now!
Everyone reacted for the first time, thinking that they had heard it wrong, so they all raised their eyes and looked at Emperor Mo Yuming, who was sitting high on the dragon chair!
Mo Yuming's indifferent face didn't have too many expressions. As long as he expected all this, he just said calmly: "Zhongqing is flat!"
In astonishment, the Baiguan's voices of thanksgiving became inconsistent, with the wrong rhythm, "Thank you, the emperor!" "Thank you, the emperor!"
The ministers got up. Only the first guard of the emperor they knew, Mo Junlin, the cold-faced general, was still kneeling, and countless pairs of eyes stared at him. He recalled that before the third imperial edict was announced, Grandpa Li Zeng said, "Please let General Mo come out!"
As a result, countless suspicions and fears caused those eyes to shoot at him like arrows!
Until, Grandpa Li, holding the imperial decree in both hands, stepped down the steps of the white marble, stood in front of Mo Junlin, and said respectfully: "Four princes, please accept the decree!"
The focus of the six short words was on the three words "Four Lords", and the Golden Palace immediately fell into a dead silence!
Except for Lin Mengqing, Lei Yue, and Mo Qilin who knew, everyone's pupils exuded fear and horror of the dead!
Until, Mo Junlin, who was kneeling with his back to the ministers, finally spoke and said the first sentence in history, "The sons and the ministers follow the decree! The sons and the ministers will not insult the father of the emperor! Thank you Lord Longen!"
With such a familiar voice, every word spoken clearly fell into their ears, as well as the two words "Erchen"!
If the dead silence at this time can be regarded as the reluctance of a hundred officials, then when the kneeling man took the light yellow imperial decree and slowly stood up, then slowly turned around, facing them, and then slowly stretched out his hand and lifted it up. After removing the silver mask, the face that belonged to Mo Qihan, the fourth prince of the current dynasty who had died two years ago, was revealed. My legs were soft, and I fell on the marble with unsteady standing, and even the other ministers who were trembling all over you pushed and touched me, "Boom, boom, boom!" I fell a lot!
Mo Yuming frowned, and a deep and powerful voice sounded, "What are you panicking? The fourth prince was taken away by a man with good medical skills on the night when he died of illness two years ago. The quack doctors in the hospital, our four The prince was still half-breathing, and he insisted that he was gone, which made me sadly buried the four princes in the coffin. Fortunately, the genius doctor rejuvenated the four princes. Not only did he save the four princes, he also cured the four princes from his illness."
