Wang Xianer resigned excitedly.

After leaving the door, the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

The maid asked: "Is the young lady unhappy?"

"Happy."

"But the little lady looks very depressed!"

"No, I just thought of an old friend, and I felt a little... melancholy."

That wild boy!

I didn't like him at first.

"Do you know Yang Xuan?"

Wang Xianer asked the maid out of nowhere.

"I know!" the maid was lively, "That man got into the Imperial College thanks to our family's help. Unexpectedly, things happened along the way.

He rescued the imperial concubine and went to Northern Xinjiang to serve as an official. Later, he even married the daughter of the Zhou family.

Little lady, Zhou Ning is a beauty. When she married Yang Xuan, many people outside said it was a flower stuck in cow dung."

Wang Xian'er stood at one end of the verandah and looked at the other end.

The cold wind blew, she shook her head and said:

"He deserves Zhou Ning!"

…

Before the end of the year, civil and military officials with meritorious service in the Southern Expedition finally arrived in Chang'an.

The emperor excitedly sent his guards to greet him, and the leader was Han Shitou.

Facing the emperor's cronies, Zhang Huan did not dare to neglect him.

"I've met Young Inspector Han."

"Mr. Zhang is so polite." Han Shitou nodded slightly, "Your Majesty was extremely pleased when he heard that the southern Xinjiang army was victorious. He has already rewarded your lady..."

Zhang Huan had already received a letter from his family during the process. At this moment, he said respectfully: "Your Majesty is so kind to me, I don't know how to repay you."

Han Shitou turned his eyes and looked at the others.

"Shilang Zhou."

Zhou Zun just nodded.

During the Southern Expedition, Zhou Zun had to maintain order and was subordinate to Zhang Huan.

After arriving in Chang'an, he was relieved of his duties and this order ceased to exist.

Han Shitou fixed his gaze on Yang Xuan, "We remember you, Commander Yang of Northern Xinjiang."

"It's the official!"

The false emperor had such great trust in this confidant that even the princes would bow respectfully when they saw him, let alone the princesses and consorts.

Being stared at by this person is not necessarily a good thing!

So, don't be interested in me!

Yang Xuan smiled, but alarm bells were ringing in his head.

Han Shitou nodded, "I remember that His Majesty praised you last time and had high expectations for you. When I heard that you have made great achievements again this time, I guess I have kept His Majesty's words in my heart. However, young people, don't be complacent. You must be more humble.

yes."

This sounds more like a warning.

A warning from an elder.

It is also like Han Shitou's statement on behalf of the emperor to his young ministers.

Good job, kid, but don't get carried away.

This gesture is impeccable.

Yang Xuan followed up and said some clichés.

"...Your Majesty is so kind, I can't sleep at night every time I think about it..."

"Xiao Xuanzi, did you learn this from reading the memoirs of a corrupt official?" Suzaku was about to explode with anger.

Han Shitou's eyes twitched, and he thought to himself: Where did Lang Jun learn this? It's better than what those officials said.

As expected of... His Majesty's bloodline!

All the way into the palace.

Emperor Longyan was delighted.

Zhang Huan retired after his success and went to the Ministry of War.

Became Liang Jing's immediate boss.

Yang Xuan responded with a sympathetic glance.

Zhou Zun received a lot of praise and rewards.

When it's Yang Xuan's turn...

"...Marquis Dingyuan."

Been granted the title of Marquis.

In addition, a farm was awarded.

After he resigned, the people from the Ministry of Revenue were waiting outside the palace.

"Zhuangzi is thirty miles outside the city. It is a fertile field."

The officials from the Ministry of Revenue had a straight face and looked businesslike.

"Old Han, arrange for someone to take over." Yang Xuan also took care of business.

Because he still has something to do.

"Where is Mr. Song?" Yang Xuan rushed to Song Zhen's house, only to find that the house was empty.

The neighbor said: "Song Gong's family just left."

"Where to go?"

"It is said that fallen leaves have returned to their roots and returned to their hometown!"

"Thank you very much."

Yang Xuan chased him all the way.

Not far outside the city, there are many sheds.

Song Zhen is in the shed at the moment.

More than ten generals were seeing him off.

Song Zhen spent half his life in the army, and usually did not show off his mountains and dews, but now he showed some splendor.

"There are no civil servants to see him off, and those who say things like dogs are all arrogant people!" a general scolded.

"Song Gong has been in the Ministry of War for many years and cultivated many people, but now they have all become cowards."

Song Zhen's appointment to the official position was too hasty. Someone outside spread rumors that Song Zhen had offended the emperor in recent years.

These words triggered some other changes. For example, in the Ministry of War, several of Song Zhen's confidants stepped aside.

"Thank you." Song Zhen didn't defend himself, took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

After drinking, he looked at these old memories. No matter how reluctant he was to let go of them, he knew they would eventually be parted.

And this farewell is a farewell.

We can never meet again.

"I'm leaving now, everyone, take care of yourself!"

Song Zhen cupped his hands.

Everyone saluted and solemnly said: "Song, take care!"

As soon as Song Zhen got on the horse, he heard someone behind him shout: "Song Gong!"

He looked back.

I couldn't help but laugh.

"Those who received my help refused to come, but this young man who only met me a few times came."

Yang Xuan came forward and saluted, "I just arrived in Chang'an and learned that Duke Song had returned, so I came here to see him off."

Song Zhen asked: "What do you think of the Southern Xinjiang Army in this battle? Hey! Why are you asking this after you have already retired?"
