If yes

Chapter 67.It is not easy to seal the Marquis in Taiping

Tubo retreated and sent envoys to Luoyang to discuss peace.The victory in this battle was not only because Alu lost the trust of the Tubo king, but more importantly, Guo Ziyi led the troops to successfully cut off the food road of the Tubo soldiers.

Emperor Li Yu accepted the Tubo truce, but did not get up and drive back to Chang'an. Instead, he sent Ding Wang Li Tong as the censor, and returned to Chang'an, Xijing with the imperial decree, to deal with the post-war rewards.

The city outline of Chang'an did not appear dilapidated as expected, and the people of Chang'an did not appear displaced as expected, but one thing, Li Tong guessed right, was that in this war, the irresistible disobedient people in Chang'an city , suffered a catastrophe.

Fortunately, Li Tong didn't fall for the trick, let alone covet this moment's reputation and spoil the big event.

Li Tong took a three-pointed rejoicing and rested in the post station a hundred miles away from Chang'an. After a short rest, he was about to set off. The next stop was Chang'an, where the imperial decree was read.

"My lord." Xu Feng, the chief bookkeeper, pushed the door open and came in, shouted respectfully, glanced at the cold tea on the table, and said, "My lord, the tea is already cold, I'll give you another cup."

"Tell me, what kind of medicine is sold in my brother's gourd?" Li Tong's eyes fell on the imperial decree placed in the middle of the table, his gloomy eyes deepened, "Perhaps, in this world, except for himself, he would not Trust anyone."

"My lord?" Xu Feng didn't understand.

Li Tong smiled faintly, "Yun Wanxiao is a rare general, but it's a pity...he shouldn't try to steal the popularity of the emperor's brother in Chang'an. He saved Chang'an City, but ruined his own future." As he spoke, Li Tong Dong grasped the imperial decree, "Let's go, let's go, this king suddenly wants to see this play soon."

"No, my lord." Xu Feng nodded and exited the room. He could never figure out what his master was thinking, but from Li Tong's words, it could be seen that Yun Wanxiao, the hero of this battle, might have a hard time.

At dusk, Li Tong finally arrived in Chang'an with his men and horses. Following the emperor's will, he took a thousand bolts of high-quality cloth and ten thousand taels of gold from the treasury, and rewarded the people outside the north gate with the hundred-year-old brew from the treasury. The Huihe reinforcements gave a long list of verbal praises from the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and finally sent Huihe two ancient treasures of the Qin Dynasty, and then sent the Huihe reinforcements back to Huihe happily.

In the deep night, the Shence Army opened the imperial city, and Yu Chaoen led the Shence Army guarding the palace to welcome the Ding Wang Li Tong who held the imperial edict.

"My lord has come all the way west, it's been hard work." Yu Chaoen greeted, without much respect, just staring at the scroll of imperial edict, a little unwilling - this must be a good word to reward that kid Yun Wanxiao, This kid took all the credit for this time!

Li Tong glanced sideways at Yu Chaoen, it wasn't because he had the military power in his hands, how could he be polite to such an eunuch?

"This king came here on behalf of the emperor, please trouble Lord Yu to send someone to summon all the officials in Chang'an to come here to listen to the order."

"That's right, come here, hurry up and summon the officials of the fifth rank and above in Chang'an City to come to the palace to listen to the order!" Yu Chaoen smiled and ordered the lieutenants beside him to act quickly.

"No!" The lieutenant ordered to retreat.

Three quarters later, all the officials gathered in the emperor's hall, respectfully knelt down on the ground, and listened to Li Tong stand alone in front of the dragon chair and read the imperial edict aloud.

"Following the fate of the heavens, the emperor's edict said: The barbarians of Tubo invaded our country. Fortunately, the monarch and his ministers were of the same mind, and they were able to force the barbarians back. All of you have contributed..."

Routine praise, routine empty words, until the end, it just fell to the award.

"Du Hongjian, the Duke of the State of Wei, defended Chang'an with his whole family. Loyalty is commendable. He rewarded 3000 taels of gold and gave him a plaque of loyalty. I hope that all ministers will set an example."

Du Hongjian bowed gratefully, "Thank you, Your Majesty, long live long live long live."

"Du Ling, son of Duke Wei's mansion, is brave and loyal. He has made great contributions in helping General Yunhui to quell the chaos. He is rewarded as General Guide from the third rank. He is in charge of the 500 garrison troops in Chang'an. He is rewarded with [-] taels of gold."

Du Tangzhi didn't care about these rewards at all, but ever since he fought this battle with Yun Wanxiao, he felt that the chicness of a man who loves the world is not as meaningful as the heroism of standing up to defend the country.Hearing that the [-] garrison troops in Chang'an could be in charge, Du Tangzhi felt that his heart was on fire, that he could finally serve the country and guard the peace of the people in this city alone, he felt lost and forgot to salute.

"Tangzhi..." Du Hongjian hastily tugged at the corner of Aizi's robe, just before Du Tangzhi kowtowed his thanks.

"Shence hussars general Yu Chaoen guarded the imperial city and guarded the ancestral temple for meritorious service. He will also be rewarded with 3000 taels of gold and a plaque of loyalty."

When Yu Chaoen heard that there was a reward, he couldn't help laughing and prostrating, "The emperor still misses our family in his heart, long live long live long live."

Li Tong paused for a moment, cast a contemptuous glance at Yu Chaoen with his deep eyes, and continued to read: "General Yun Wanxiao defends Chang'an to the death, he should make the first contribution, and he is specially awarded as the Second Rank General of the Town Army," said As he said that, a strange smile suddenly rose from the corner of Li Tong's mouth, "Liu Jing is in charge of the rank of Deputy General of Shence, and together with General Yu Chaoen, he will lead the Shence Army and continue to defend our Great Tang Jingping."

Yu Chaoen's expression turned pale when he heard the sound, the intention was clearly to give this kid Yun Wanxiao half of the military power of the Shence Army!

Yun Wanxiao's expression was solemn, she glanced at Yu Chaoen, then at Li Tong, the emperor's chess move undoubtedly brought her to the front line, and became a thorn in the face of powerful officials, who would either break her body and die, or take every step of the way, risking her life. Seek victory.

Li Tong sneered, "General Yun, are you still not accepting the order?"

Yun Wanxiao sighed, and kowtowed to the ground coldly, "The last general thanked His Majesty Long En, long live long live long live long live."

"General Yun, the road ahead is going to be prosperous." Li Tong finished his words, and continued to read the imperial decree, "Shangzhou governor Li Yi led the army to help him, and he rewarded 500 taels of gold..."

Prosperous?But the blood is booming?

Yun Wanxiao's heart was very cold, if the emperor wanted to reward her, how could he put her in such a dangerous place?

After Li Tong finished reading the imperial decree and all the officials shouted long live, tonight's rewards were considered to have come to an end, and after the officials congratulated each other, they gradually dispersed and left the court hall.

"General Yun, I will give you a lot of advice in the future." Yu Chaoen said coldly to Yun Wanxiao, "General Yun is not familiar with the military affairs of our Shence Army, so the deputy general's Tiger Talisman has to be returned." When General Yun is familiar with the military affairs of Shence, our family will give it to the general with both hands."

So what if the emperor grants an official?As long as Yu Chaoen is unwilling to delegate power, if the emperor asks for it himself, he has enough reasons not to give it.After all, when the emperor killed Empress Dowager Zhang to secure the throne, he made the first contribution to Yu Chaoen.Now it is Yu Chaoen who holds the real power of the magic strategy. If he is in a hurry, he will establish another emperor. Let's see who doesn't miss the old love?

"The last general..." Yun Wanxiao settled down, clasped his fists and said, "The last general will definitely get familiar with military affairs sooner, and share the worries for Mr. Yu earlier."

"General Yun worked hard in his triumphant return. In the past few days, General Lao has been staying at the Chang'an post house. After our house has tidied up the Shence Mansion, General Yun will be invited to the mansion to familiarize himself with military affairs." Yu Chaoen said, as if feeling hot Lan Hua wiped her forehead with her fingers, "The weather is really hot, our family feels unwell, so I will take my leave first, General Yun."

"Master Yu, the last general will not be sent away." Although Yun Wanxiao said as a guest, but Yu Chaoen made it clear that he didn't want to give her military power, even if he blushed at this moment, it would be of no avail.

Yu Chaoen let out a sinister smile triumphantly, received the reward, and strode out of the hall.

Du Hongjian walked over, lightly patted Yun Wanxiao on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "It's been a hard job for General Yun this month, why don't General Yun come to my house for a few days?"

Yun Wanxiao originally wanted to say no, but seeing Du Hongjian's eyes seemed to have deep meaning, so she bowed her head in thanks and said, "Thank you, Duke Wei, for your kindness. I've been bothering you for a few days."

"Where, where." Du Hongjian nodded in satisfaction, and then patted Yun Wanxiao on the shoulder, "Why don't you come to my residence tonight, how about it?"

"No, I haven't had enough of the wine that rewarded the soldiers that day. General Yun, this time you come to my house for a short stay. If you don't have a drink with me, you don't want to leave!" Du Tangzhi walked over proudly , raised his arms around Yun Wanxiao's body, "General Yun, although I can't beat you in a fight, you may not be my opponent when it comes to drinking!"

"Ahem." Yun Wanxiao subconsciously pushed Du Tangzhi away, "Young Master Du, this is still the court, and you should pay attention to the habits of the world..." Before he finished speaking, he glanced at Du Hongjian who was full of displeasure. Well, my father didn't teach me a lesson, so where would it be her turn to teach me a lesson?

"My child, I really can't do anything about it." Du Hongjian shook his head in disappointment, "General Yun, I'm going to go ahead first, I'll go back to the manor first."

"Duke Lao Wei is here." Yun Wanxiao bowed respectfully.

Li Yi was holding 500 taels of gold in his hands, but he couldn't feel happy at all. Now that Yun Wanxiao was a rank higher than him, and he would bow to Yun Wanxiao when they saw each other in the future, thinking of this, Li Yi felt extremely jealous.

"My lord didn't expect that you would know how to take advantage of the situation." At some point, Li Tong came to his side, and what he said suddenly surprised Li Yi.

Although Li Yi was a little displeased that King Ding left him alone in Shangzhou, but he was just a little governor, how could he complain about Li Tong, so he bowed his head respectfully, "I have seen the prince."

Li Tong let out a cold scoff, and looked at the serious Yun Wanxiao from a distance, "Don't be so envious of Yun Wanxiao, even though you have been promoted, it's better not to be promoted."

"My lord?" Li Yi was shocked.

Li Tong squinted at Li Yi, "How could Yu Chaoen give him real military power? He's just a puppet. Besides, how can the emperor really value a general who has robbed the emperor of his people?"

One sentence awakened Li Yi, and Li Yi suddenly felt very happy, and couldn't help laughing.

"You're a smart man. My lord is hosting a banquet tonight. If Mr. Li is interested, why don't you join us for a drink?" Li Tong finished speaking calmly, leaving the hall with the imperial decree in his hand.

"Your Majesty, please stop. His Majesty has an order for you."

Just as Li Tong stepped out of the gate of the court hall, an emperor's personal guard came to stop Li Tong who was about to leave.

"Oh?" Li Tong took the handbook respectfully, opened it, read it hastily, and then waved his hand to indicate that the emperor's guards could go back, and he had accepted the order.
