After Huan Ling stayed in Fugu for more than [-] days, he followed the news that the imperial court ordered him to lead the mission to Beijing.

Although he traveled all over Fugu County and spent a little honeymoon with Song Shi, he still felt that it was too late for him to express his love... Only many infatuation stories that seemed true and false were left, which he linked to newspapers and bookstalls. The sour essays were brought to Beijing together.

But what he and Song Shi didn't expect was that he left sooner and returned faster this trip.Even before he went to Beijing and only sent back the news of the peace talks, Sacred Heart had already made this arrangement.

=====================

The army of the Western Expedition Ma stepped on Yinshan Mountain, broke through the Khan army that invaded the south outside Hetao, and captured his son Hechiwen Jinong and hundreds of ministers, concubines, and princesses.Afterwards, the army chased the remnants of the Lu Ting into the vast sea, and the Khan died of injuries while fleeing. The concubine married her stepson Huo Luchi, who was only over ten years old, and supported him to become the new Khan. .

The appeasement mission led by the concubine's elder brother also made many achievements. They successively persuaded several tribes on the right wing of the Tatars to surrender, and even surrendered to the Tumed tribe who was spying on Hetao, forcing the eldest son of Tumed Khan to go to Beijing to seek peace. .

Presenting captives, negotiating peace, conferring rewards on the princes of the Tatar tribes, and resetting the strategy of the Western Expedition... All these major events were closely linked together.But these days of toil did not drag down the dragon's body, on the contrary, because of the continuous joy of the great victory, a wave of spiritual energy was stimulated in his body to support him, so he didn't feel tired at all.

He asked the eunuch to fetch a newly drawn map, and looked at the newly drawn borders on it—the territory originally bounded by the Great Wall expanded beyond the Yinshan Mountains, and Guoyiji directly connected to Gansu.There are several new military towns scattered among them, and they are all built to look like prosperous towns. Apart from the soldiers guarding the new frontier, there are also many grassland tribes who wholeheartedly surrender to Da Zheng.

Those people have changed to live in brick houses, learned to farm, herd cattle and sheep, learn Chinese, and read and enlightened with the Han people who built the city...

Although he couldn't see the scene with himself, nor could he imagine the magnificent scenery of thousands of miles of grasslands and thousands of hectares of yellow sand, but he knew that his achievements had far surpassed those of his father and ancestors, even catching up with the great ancestor who expelled the Hulu.

During his reign, he had the merits of opening up the frontier and land, the use of thunder and lightning from heaven, the breeding of auspicious Jiahe, the assistance of loyal ministers and generals in the court, and the benevolent and capable future prince...

Emperor Xintai obsessively touched the map, and murmured in a low voice, as if asking himself, or asking the servants around him: "One day when the mountain collapses, how will the history books describe it? How should it be enshrined in the Taimiao?"

The eunuchs around him were frightened by the ominous words, and knelt down to persuade him to let go of his mind and take care of the dragon body.

These servants look smart in vain, but they still don't understand the Sacred Heart.However, the new Emperor Tai doesn't care about their stupidity even when there are happy events now, he just said indifferently: "I just said something casually, how did you become like this? You have served in the palace for so long, and you are still not stable."

The important affairs of the court are beyond the understanding of these servants, and it is useless to ask them to stand here.He waved his hand and ordered everyone to go down, and told them to invite the three elders to come over to discuss the state affairs, and soon there was a message from the servant outside the door, and the three elders begged to see him.

After the three pavilion elders entered the hall, they saw a nine-sided map hanging on the wall, and the present sage stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the map.

Does the Holy Majesty have a new statement about the Northwest?Why don't you ask Wang Benbing to come with you?

Now that the affairs of the Northwest Bureau have been decided, and the rewards of the leaders of the attached ministries have been decided, the energy of the three elders has already been transferred to building the border castle town on the newly acquired land and resettling the attached tribes.If the Holy Spirit intends to increase the number of troops, in fact, the Ministry of War and the Five Armies Dudufu should be called to discuss together.

The three of them entered the door to pay their respects with general thoughts.Emperor Xintai spared them the big gift, pointed to the map and said: "Now that the northwest is stable, even though the remnants of the Tatars have fled, it is irrelevant. The matter of expulsion of the rest is still left to the Ministry of War to arrange. I invite the three gentlemen to come to arrange Let’s talk about rewards for meritorious deeds.”

In the past few years, the battle situation was uncertain, so there were not enough rewards.Now the entire Yin Mountain has fallen into the hands of Da Zheng, the old Tatar king is dead, and the new owner is only a boy in his teens, and he can't even gather the rest...

It is also time to give credit to the frontline soldiers and officials from the DPRK and China.

Zhang Cifu responded: "The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War have initially agreed on the list of rewards. Your Majesty wants to see it. I will order someone to fetch it."

Li Sanfu also prepared silver taels, silk, and inner-made utensils as rewards, and he could send people to fetch them immediately.

Emperor Xintai nodded slightly, and said: "This matter has been arranged by two gentlemen, so I can rest assured."

The Holy Majesty can rest assured, but Mr. Li Ge himself can't rest assured. He asked for orders in person: "The two princes have made great achievements in this battle. According to the regulations, they can change the fiefdom or grant the emperor's manor, enfeoff the family members, the emperor's grandson, etc. The ministers have already paid for the two princes. The prince has drawn up several Huangzhuang in the suburbs of Beijing, Shaanxi, and Shandong, and it is up to His Majesty to decide which one will be elected."

By asking Shiyi, what he really wanted to ask was the emperor's arrangement for the two princes - whether to ask them to return to the capital, or to grant them grace as a vassal king?

Emperor Xintai naturally understood what he meant, and was about to use this question to express his intentions. He couldn't help showing a little smile, and said: "The King of Qi is still in the Western Expeditionary Army, chasing the remnants of the Tatars. People say that the mountain is nine feet high, and the success falls short. Call him back to Beijing at this time, and this battle to destroy the captives will be a lifelong regret for him."

Mr. Li Ge nodded heavily: "Since this is the case, we will wait for King Qi to return from a great victory before discussing the matter of conferring. But now that the pressure of the war has eased, and the northwest is full of auspicious valleys, it is not necessarily true that the army can afford to drive the remnants north. Let the prince sit in charge..."

Now that the national treasury is abundant, and the grain production in the northwest is not inferior to that in the south of the Yangtze River, even if King Zhou is not in Hanzhong now, there will never be any problem with the supply to the army.

When the king of Zhou came out of Beijing, it was because the concubine was lax and the court lady made disrespectful remarks, not because the king was at fault.All these years, he could see that the Sacred Heart was still in the King of Zhou, besides, no matter the favor, the King of Zhou lived in the virtuous place, what prince in the court could compare with him?King Qi is good at martial arts, and King Wei was born a few years late after all, and only ranked third, not to mention the princes behind.

If the sage wishes, then King Zhou can return to court at this time.

Li Mian carefully measured the qualifications and backgrounds of the princes, raised his eyes slightly, and secretly peeped at the sky.

The Holy One lowered his eyelids slightly, and said calmly: "Mr. Li's words are very reasonable. That being the case, regardless of the rewards from the two kings, the three gentlemen will arrange for me the sacrificial sacrifices to heaven, earth and ancestors."

Sacrifice in the middle of the capital first, and then arrange to get off the car and drive the guard of honor. During his reign, he has made such incomparable achievements, which is enough to enshrine Zen and Mount Tai.

The eyes of the three elders widened a little at the same time, and the originally droopy eyelids were piled up into several deep double eyelids, making them look more delicate than usual.

The emperor looked at their faces that seemed to be better than usual, and felt relieved, and asked with a smile: "I want to enshrine Zen Taishan, gentlemen, do you have anything to say?"

In terms of current achievements, it is far superior to the kings of the previous dynasties, and it is enough to practice Zen.But after all, there must be no king in the court. If your majesty wants to go south to Fengchan Taishan, who should preside over the government and who should decide the military affairs?

Shengjia's movement is no different than that of ordinary officials. It will take at least two or three months to go to Mount Tai. How can there be no one in the court?If His Majesty wants to travel far, will he hand over the government to the three elders or the young prince staying in Beijing?

The three elders thought about it, and suddenly thought of one person——if Zhou Wang returned to the court, he would be able to take care of both people's livelihood and military affairs!

Lu Ge's white beard trembled slightly, and he asked tentatively: "Your Majesty is going south this time, do you want to call King Zhou back to Beijing first?"

It is to summon the king of Zhou to return to the court.

The Son of Heaven finally waited until someone persuaded him to call the King of Zhou back to Beijing, and immediately responded: "The King of Zhou is kind and capable, and is worthy of the important task of supervising the country. The decider will report back to me."

If there is anything the King of Zhou doesn't understand, please ask the three gentlemen to teach him more.

Supervising the country... Could it be that the sage is finally going to set up a reserve!The three old gentlemen were so excited that their eyelids doubled again, and they quickly bowed their heads and made an oath, not daring to live up to the entrustment of the Holy Majesty.

They are now going to draw up an edict to invite the king of Zhou to return to Beijing!

The three old gentlemen thought that today's stimulation was enough, and were about to go back to draft an edict, but the Holy Majesty added another sentence: "It would not be solemn enough to transfer the king of Zhou back with only one imperial edict, and we should choose a noble envoy to welcome him He returns to Beijing."

It is easy to deal with noble envoys. This kind of thing has always been to choose people from the clan or honored ministers, and these two kinds of people are the most indispensable in Beijing.However, when the king of Zhou went to Hanzhong, the boat and the car were exhausted. I heard that he had suffered a lot. If he chose too old envoys, he would be afraid that the other party would get sick on the way and cause trouble, and if the young ones were afraid that they would not be able to take good care of the Zhou king's family...

Fortunately, Lv Shoufu has been in charge of the government for many years, and he knows the people in Beijing like the back of his hand, and he can select the most suitable person in the blink of an eye: right now, there is an in-law of the King of Zhou in Beijing, who has just made several great achievements in persuading surrender in the Northwest. Yushi Huanling.He is young, in good health, and is good at riding horses. It is not only suitable for him to meet the king of Zhou, but he will not delay time on the way.

Another coincidence is that this Huan Yushi is still the disciple of his first assistant, Mr. Lu does not avoid relatives, so he immediately thinks of him.

When the Son of Heaven heard the word "Huan", he couldn't help but nodded, and said with a smile, "Is there anything wrong with Mr. Lu's recommendation? It's just that I remember that Huan Ling is only the censor of the capital now, and he has never had a title on him?"

Lu Shoufu bowed his head and replied: "Although he has accompanied His Royal Highness King Zhou to inspect the military affairs of the Nine Frontiers, and went out to appease him, but he has always been an inspector of Fengxian, how can he be judged like a real general?"

If the Holy Majesty thinks that he has no title and wants to choose someone else, they have no choice but to ask the clan mansion to arrange it.

Fortunately, Emperor Xintai didn't want others to welcome King Zhou back, so he just shook his head, and lightly announced another heart-warming decree: "It is true that civil servants are rarely awarded honors in this dynasty, but how can the prince's wife and brother be without a title?" For the gentlemen who have worked hard these two days, let’s first announce the appointment of the reserve, and discuss Huan Ling’s title together with his military exploits.”
