over ten thousand people

The speed at which I defeated Tubo was just like the speed at which Tubo defeated Tuyuhun. It cannot be said that it was not expected, nor can it be said that it was not amazing.The celebration continued for three days in Anrong City, and when I was about to return with reinforcements, the people and soldiers lined up to see them off.Although the scene is not as good as last year's Xingjing Prisoner Presentation Ceremony, I am truly relieved——

This time, Tubo was destroyed, and the Southwest got rid of many years of serious troubles. This is one of them.The second is that after Jiannan Road, there will be no need for too many troops. Li Yu and Xu Yingxiao proposed the strategy of returning the army to the people, and took the initiative to hand over the military power that was not in my hands.

It has to be said that this is exactly one of the benefits that I can bring from three arrows in public.As long as I can convince them, it will be easy to take back the military power that was originally scattered.Now that Jiannan is taking the lead, there is no need to worry about the other nine ways not following suit; not to mention that I already control the dispatching power of most of the troops in my hands.

After controlling the real power, I don't need to worry about anything, including the one proposed by Zhou Bubi.Letting the princes serve as officials was originally quite troublesome; but now that my monarchy has been established in the army and even in the hearts of the people of the world, am I still afraid of giving them official positions?It is a really good thing that the worries of the future are gone, and you can get the reputation of brotherhood and harmony.

As for what my brothers think...

Whether they know or not, it was my suggestion earlier that they could only be wealthy and idlers, but it is clear that I bestowed officials on them after all.Even if they want to slander me to the point of being scheming, they can only accept the reality.Besides, among all my brothers and sisters, only one sister can be said to have meritorious service in battle. When I said that I want to make her the General of the Left Guard, I didn't just mention it casually.

Therefore, no matter what they think, they can only think about it after all!

This is a strategy to advance around the circle, even if people notice it later, and even make some moves, I have already secured the victory——

That's right, this is the real reason why I have tried everything possible to go to Jiannan Road in person.Whether it's the guise of guards of honor going to the Die Mansion, or the great generosity of tens of thousands of reinforcements, it's all for Zhen to secure the throne.A stable political situation where few people have a rebellious heart, or even none, is the cornerstone of a peaceful and prosperous age!

It is also because of this that I am very patient with Pine Nut Songzan, after all, he delivered the pillow so timely.Besides, Tubo is located on a high plateau, and it won't be of much use if you want to send it. I still want to seal someone to self-government-there is only one requirement for Tubo, that is, don't make trouble; Isn't it irreplaceable, why don't you obediently bow down to me?

So, on the way back to Xingjing, I actually fulfilled my request—drying pine nuts and singing praises.Since the great victory in Jiannan, congratulations have poured in like snowflakes, and I don't want to see his stinky face affect my mood.

Because I was not in a hurry and brought Tubo soldiers with me, the return journey was much slower than when I went there.Besides, it is very hot, and no one likes to hurry.Therefore, I stopped and went, inspecting the customs and customs of the counties and states along the road, and did not return to Xingjing until mid-September.

The guard of honor is indispensable, and the degree of grandeur is even higher. When I saw it from a distance, I knew that Wang Ruojun had put a lot of thought into it.When we got closer, all the officials above the fifth rank in the court were waiting outside the city, and the princes were also there, and even Zong Zhengqing, who had never been very in charge, showed up.When we entered the city, both sides of Suzaku Street were crowded with people who watched the excitement. Before seeing my canopy, they were already excitedly shouting "Long live" and "Shenwu".

The lineup is as vast as my father's triumphant return, and my self-esteem as an emperor has been greatly satisfied.After Jiang Tong and others led the army back to their thrones, and Tubo and others were settled, I will reward each one for their merits, and the most important thing after that will be the banquet.

After several months of fermentation, the three arrows I placed on the west gate of Anrong City have been spread like a god.All the officials praised him, and congratulatory poems were naturally indispensable.I looked at it for a while, and there were all sorts of things to blow up, so I couldn't laugh or cry.

After the big banquet in the Taiji Hall is over, there are still countless small banquets waiting.After thinking about what to do next, I ordered a family banquet to be held in the Ganlu Hall first.

Ganlu Hall is the palace of the father and emperor.Since the death of my father, I have rarely set foot here, and only used it during a few particularly important court meetings.All the people who came to the banquet saw the location, and all of them knew it well, and said that His Majesty will surely achieve eternal supremacy just like his father.

After the intercourse of Gongchou came to an end, Yongchang began to pester me, muttering that he wanted to learn archery.As soon as he opened his mouth, Ban Lingwen and Ban Lingyang looked at me eagerly, with envy and jealousy that couldn't be concealed.

My sister noticed her son's behavior, and immediately became angry and funny. "My sister has attended quite a few banquets, and today I saw two monkeys willing to stay at the banquet obediently." As she said that, she looked at me, and her hatred of iron and steel turned into pride in an instant: " Your Majesty still has a way."

I looked at the two half-grown teenagers who were full of expectations, and said with a smile: "If you want to tell me, it's not that I have a way, but that my sister is not willing to make Wen Lingyang suffer. If you want to practice arrows like mine, Once you enter the school grounds, you have to practice all day, how can my sister bear the heart?"

"Your Majesty knows how to expose elder sister's shortcomings." Elder sister feigned anger, and continued to cooperate with me: "Besides, why is elder sister reluctant? Just because Ling Wenling Yang never made a definitive statement, elder sister still I don't know how they will get into trouble in the future!"

Hearing what my sister said, Ban Lingwen and Ban Lingyang showed shame on their faces.I saw it was funny, so I continued to say: "Really? If my sister is willing, I don't think I can use it—after all, when I just learned archery, it was my sister who taught me by hand!"

This is actually a half-truth.I practiced arrows secretly, but no one knew about it; but once I was bumped into by my sister, and then my sister inevitably told me some precautions in actual combat.Otherwise, even if I can practice the arrow technique of piercing Yang with a hundred steps, I may show timidity when I really face the enemy.

Hearing that my sister taught me how to shoot arrows, Ban Lingwen and Ban Lingyang immediately turned to my sister, with worship written brightly in their four eyes.

"Your Majesty is still the same. Either kill first and play later, or put a high hat on sister when you have nothing to do." Sister blamed, but her eyes were grateful.All I said was to help her regain her prestige in front of her two sons, she naturally knew and appreciated it.

I couldn't help laughing, just as I was about to justify my cutting first and playing later, Yong Meng's voice came from beside me. "Look at me, Your Majesty doesn't just put a high hat on the Eldest Princess." He said as he approached, and then bowed to me and my sister, "Your Majesty the Eldest Princess was so heroic back then, I am afraid that there will be no one before or after. "

In terms of heroines in history, it is debatable whether my sister can be ranked first; but if she is a princess, she must be the first. "Look, sister, fourth brother has always been a sensible person, and now he is on my side!" I was even happier.

"Okay, okay, I know that His Majesty and His Royal Highness the King of Wei have a deep brotherhood!" Elder Sister deliberately put on a disgusted look, "I'll go, I'll go right away, isn't that okay?"

Yong Chang had been holding my arm all the time, but seeing what my sister said, she knew that she should step aside tactfully.He reluctantly let go of me, turned around every step of the way, quite reluctant to part.

"Your Majesty and Chang'er have such a good relationship, I really envy you." Yong Meng followed my gaze and looked over with emotion.

I've been in a very happy mood recently, and I don't feel bad when I hear it. "The fourth brother has to work harder. Since Princess Wei gave birth to a daughter, I haven't heard good news from the fourth brother's house for a long time."

Yong Meng obviously didn't expect that I would mention this, and he was taken aback for a moment. "His Majesty……"

Taking advantage of the slightly drunk energy, I pointed in the direction of Yong Xian and Yong Wu Jiu. "Fourth brother, look at the old seven and the eighth. I just went to Jiannan, and when I came back, I heard that the stomachs of Princess Huai and Ning were moving. This speed and efficiency are beyond the reach of me. Fourth brother Should I learn it?"

If it weren't for Zhen being the emperor, it would definitely not be the turn of a younger brother who is not yet married to teach his elder brother.At this time, Yongmeng couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "Your Majesty may have drunk too much. Let's not talk about whether you can learn or not, this matter is not something you can have. Besides, Your Majesty is concerned about the great cause, and now the momentum is turning for the better." Zhengwang, how can there be hope that the dust can't match it? If you really want to hope that the dust can't match it, it's also a minister who is far behind His Majesty."

I heard what Yong Meng said was very sincere, so I took another look at his face.For some reason, I suddenly remembered the Qilu song he composed in Shangsi.The mandibular couplets point to the richness and ignorance of poverty, while the last couplets are written to wish for a bumper harvest in autumn and peace in the world... At that time, I only felt that the artistic conception was overstated, but thinking about it now, I tasted a taste of empty ambition.

In this way, Yongmeng has always loved to drink with Keyan, is it because he wants to become incompetent and can only settle for second best?

"Father entrusted the world to me, so I should be conscientious and conscientious." I opened my mouth, thinking that fortunately, Yongmeng was never too idle to care about my harem. "Even if the affairs are busy and it is difficult to take care of them, it is also my duty and should be taken care of."

"Your Majesty understands." Yong Meng bowed, "Your Majesty has Ling Yunzhi in his chest. I closed my eyes and didn't recognize it earlier, but I gradually understood it recently. It is a blessing for the world that your Majesty is diligent in government and loving the people. I only hate..."

He didn't go on, but I vaguely guessed it. "In front of me, what else is fourth brother afraid to say?"

Yongmeng bowed again to salute.When he raised his head again, he looked at me, his voice was very soft, but there was no doubt about it. "No matter what worries your majesty has, as long as your majesty gives an order, I will go through fire and water, and I will do whatever I want."

This loyalty was quite thorough, and I suddenly became sober. "Fourth brother is serious. No matter how many difficulties there are, I can't ask fourth brother to go through fire and water for me!"

Yong Meng didn't say a word, still looking at me.

My original intention was not to ask my brothers to commit suicide, but his eyes seemed to reveal disappointment.This made me realize slowly that my words sounded more like a polite refusal.

Really, I have to talk about business after drinking...

While cursing, I noticed the dried venison on the table.It was originally a long strip, but I cut off a part obliquely, so it looks a bit like a jade wat. "Fourth brother's kindness, I naturally understand it. But right now I don't have anything good at hand," I said, pointing to the piece of dried meat, "I can only wrong fourth brother to accept this reward first."

It was not an ordinary honor for the emperor to reward him with the food he had eaten, and Yong Meng immediately knelt down to thank him.When he raised his head again, he noticed the details. "...Your Majesty?" He was suddenly surprised.

I don't think Yongmeng is someone who doesn't know the allusion of Tongye Fengdi, so he didn't explain much. "Fourth brother is very talented and knowledgeable, I have always been ashamed of myself. Today, fourth brother said so, I am really happy, and I can't help but look forward to the future."

"The same is true for my minister." Yong Meng replied, the brilliance in his eyes had never been as bright as it was at this time.

The author has something to say:

Xie Xiang: ...
