Next, the King of Yan ordered the accompanying counselors to sacrifice their lives against the grassland tribes and to count the number of generals and soldiers of Yun Kingdom who participated in the battle to regain the Western Regions.

The names and ages of all the dead heroes were recorded, resulting in a thick booklet.

Night is coming.

The King of Yan placed the list of heroes on the eucalyptus table and presented tributes such as cattle, sheep, melon, fruit, wine, etc.

Then, everyone came to the eucalyptus table to perform half-kneel salute, lowered their heads, and mourned the heroes.

Ye Jinghong stood on one side with a solemn expression and recited a tragic "Sacrifice for the Heroes".

After reciting, Ye Jinghong burned the sacrificial text and bowed three times to the roster.

The King of Yan raised his head and burst into tears, and said in grief: "Brothers, I can't take you home anymore. You can just guard the territory of Yun Kingdom on this battlefield!"

"Don't worry, the court will not forget your merits, nor will the people of Yun Kingdom forget your sacrifices. Yun Kingdom will treat your family and descendants with kindness, and they will be proud and proud of you."

"Brothers, you... have a good journey!"

After saying that, King Yan choked up. As the head coach on the battlefield, he was used to parting with life and death.

Now that the lost land is recovered, the King of Yan remembered those brothers who died in the battlefield. He thought that they could never go home again, and the grief and anger hidden in his heart were unbearable.

At this moment, many people couldn't help crying, and everyone remembered the people who fought side by side with them. Some were still alive, but some people could never go back.

Everyone tried their best to hold back their emotions. Even so, the whole world was covered with a sense of grief and anger.

The thunder is faint and the fog is hazy.

It started to rain lightly in the sky, falling on the soldiers' armor and on their cheeks.

Du Ning couldn't help but feel sore in his nose, tears slid down the corners of his eyes, and his fists were clenched tightly.

Yes, the Yun Kingdom did win the battle, but it was all exchanged for the soldiers' blood and lives.

If the grassland tribe had not attacked Yun Kingdom and massacred the unarmed people of Yun Kingdom, why would the Yun Kingdom have suffered so many lives? Why would so many people be sacrificed?

Since we are going to fight, Yunguo will accompany you!

The Yun Kingdom is a great country of human race, and foreign races must know the style of a great country of "those who dare to violate the Yun Kingdom will be punished even if they are far away"!

"Prince, please feel sorry for your grief. Don't cry and make you feel bad. We have tough battles to fight later." Du Ning stepped forward to comfort the King of Yan.

"I'm fine, I'm just sad..."

The King of Yan waved his hand and kept kneeling down.

The soldiers of the three armies have been kneeling like this.

…………

August 28th.

The Imperial Palace of the capital of Yunguo.

In the Golden Palace.

"Good news! Good news! Good news in the Western Regions!"

"A great victory in the Western Regions! A great victory in the Western Regions!"

"The grassland tribe has withdrawn from Yun Country! The war in the Western Regions has been pacified!"

The Minister of War, Fei, also rushed to the front of the Golden Palace. Before the people arrived, they were already shouting outside the hall.

"What! A great victory in the Western Regions! Has our Yun Kingdom defeated the grassland tribe?"

"That's more! This is not a good news, but a great victory! A good news is a victory, and a great victory is to calm the war!"

"That's great! Great! Our Yun Kingdom finally quelled the chaos in the area!"

The civil and military officials in the Golden Palace looked overjoyed. Whether they were officials of the Virtuous King Party or the disciples of other kings, they were extremely excited at this moment.

Emperor Hongxuan sat on the dragon throne and stood up excitedly in an instant.

The next moment, I realized that I had lost my composure, so I lazily stretched out my waist and sat back on the dragon throne, showing as expected as possible.

In fact, everyone knows that Emperor Hongxuan is happier than any of the civil and military officials present.

The Minister of War rushed to the Golden Palace, holding many memorials in his hand, and was so excited that he forgot to salute Emperor Hongxuan and came directly to the queue of officials.

"Report to the Emperor, the Ministry of War has received great news from the Western Regions. Our army has driven the grassland soldiers and horses abroad to recover the lost territory. This is the memorial of Lord Yan and the list of fallen generals in the Western Regions. Please read it."

Eunuch Feng took many memorials and submitted them to Emperor Hongxuan’s eucalyptus table.

Emperor Hongxuan first browsed the memorials of King Yan, and his face was filled with joy.

But when he looked at the list of the fallen soldiers behind him, his joy disappeared, and was replaced by endless sorrow and anger.

"The Yun Kingdom was able to recover lost land. It was because the soldiers on the front line used their blood and lives to forge a solid city wall to block all foreign enemies, so that the people could be protected from the war, and we could sit in the Golden Palace to discuss state affairs with peace of mind. I would like to observe 60 breaths of silence for the soldiers who fell."

Emperor Hongxuan stood up and looked out of the Golden Palace and bowed his head to the silence.

The officials also turned around and looked out of the hall, bowing their heads for sixty breaths.

At this moment, the Golden Palace was filled with sadness.

After sixty breaths, all the officials faced Emperor Hongxuan again.

Emperor Hongxuan sat down again and said, "When the Ministry of War reviewed the list of fallen soldiers, and after verification with the Ministry of Revenue, the family will be given pensions. Those who have minor children in the family will be supported by the court until they are adults. Those who have no family will support their elderly people. The soldiers will shed blood and sweat on the front line. The court cannot treat their relatives badly no matter what."

"I will receive the order."

Officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue departed to respond.

"I also want to remind you that I can turn a blind eye to the little thief you usually have on weekdays. However, if anyone dares to greed for ink pensions, even if it is just a son, if I find out, they will be beheaded and displayed in public!" Emperor Hongxuan said again.

"I don't dare to do this. This is the pension that the heroes exchanged for their lives. Even if I borrow ten courage from me, I will not dare to be greedy."

"Please rest assured that my Ministry of Revenue officials will never dare to be greedy for the pensions given to the families of heroes. I will guarantee my life!"

"The same is true for our Ministry of War officials!"

Many officials hurriedly expressed that they had seen Emperor Hongxuan's imperial methods. During his days in power, many corrupt officials from the Virtuous King Party fell to him, but few had a good ending.

Although Emperor Hongxuan is young, he has learned all the true teachings of Emperor Jingwen's emperor's mind.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

None of the kings and civil and military officials present dared to treat Emperor Hongxuan as an ordinary child, but truly regarded him as the emperor.

At this time, the wise king came out and said, "Your Majesty, the fourth brother has recovered the lost territory in the Western Regions, and the war has been settled there. Next, our Yun Kingdom should concentrate on fighting against the barbarians and the Huns. I suggest that we consolidate the cities of the Western Regions first, and then we will clean up the grasslands after we resolve the barbarians and the Huns."

"I and others agree that, for our Yun Kingdom's treasury, it is better to solve the barbarians and the Huns' army first."

"Yes! As long as we can solve the barbarians and the Huns, we can deal with the grasslands anytime and anywhere, and we will not be in a hurry."

Officials of the Xianwang Party agreed, as if they were considering the overall situation, but in fact they were worried that the King of Yan would make too many contributions to the grassland tribe in the future, and their contributions would be too great to shock the Lord.

In that case, the power of the King of Yan will expand and will affect the power of the King of Wise Party.

This is something that the Virtuous King Party would not want to see anyway.

Emperor Hongxuan said, "I am not willing to let the treasury bear such a huge burden, nor do I want to go to war with the grassland tribes. However, the grassland tribes massacred the innocent people of our Yun Kingdom. This blood debt must be compensated by the grassland tribe. I have given the grassland tribe a chance, but it is because the grassland tribe that is too bullying. Now that our Yun Kingdom has a mysterious cannon, we will be able to break through the grassland palace and plant the flag of the Yun Kingdom in the situation of the grassland tribe. I am determined to take the grassland into the territory of the Yun Kingdom. I hope you can understand my intentions."

"But the emperor..." The wise king wanted to make a statement again.

Emperor Hongxuan raised his hand to signal the other party to shut up and said slowly: "I sent an order to the Zhongshu Pavilion to announce the world that all the cities in the Western Regions will be recovered. At the beginning of next month, I will order the King of Yan to lead a large army to destroy a country in the grassland and encourage scholars from Yun Kingdom to go to join the war to fight bravely. On the day of his troops returning to the court, the court will reward merits and will definitely be rewarded."

"I will receive the order."

Many officials spoke in unison and supported Emperor Hongxuan to destroy the grassland tribe.

Seeing this, the officials of the Virtuous King Party knew that it was difficult to stop the King of Yan from continuing to make contributions in the Western Regions, so they could only sigh helplessly.

…………

Grassland Royal Palace.

"Report to Khan, the prince and all the princes have led their troops back."

"What!"

Hu Chiyan felt very surprised and surprised after hearing the report.

"Okay, what are they doing when they come back?"

"Looking back to Khan, looking at their appearance, it seems like they were defeated."

"presumptuous!"

A grassland minister looked angry and scolded: "My grassland cavalry is invincible and will win invincible. How could he lose to the Yun Kingdom's army? Don't be alarmist!"

"That's it! The cavalry of our grassland tribe is unstoppable. It is the most powerful cavalry on the Holy Forest Continent. How could he be defeated?"

"Don't talk nonsense anymore, and punish them strictly without lending!"

The officials of other grassland tribes either laughed or looked disdainful, not believing that Hu Chikuo and others had lost the battle.

How could the cavalry of the grassland tribe fail? It’s a joke to gain others’ ambition to destroy one’s own dignity!

The grassland officials who were scolded felt wronged. He was just telling the truth. Why did he get angry at him?

"Since the prince and the others are back, please invite them in." Hu Chiyan said.
