"If you hadn't told me, General, I wouldn't have known that there was such a Taoist temple in the world that only gave but didn't seek!"
Wu Chenqing looked at Ziyang City from a distance and said with emotion.
"Like you, if I hadn't come to Ziyang City this time, I wouldn't have known that there is such a Taoist inheritance in this world."
Chai Tiannuo shook his head lightly, thinking about this trip to Dongshan, he had really gained a lot.
Three days later, the army entered Zhili, and countless civilians gathered to watch. A mob of millions of people, head to tail, did not see each other.
Officials from the Ministry of Revenue and other soldiers from the Imperial Guard had been waiting for a long time, and immediately took over the task of counting the mobs, and dispersed them in family units to various settlements in Zhili.
All the corvee distribution for the next five years will be borne by them.
As for five years later, it depends on the transformation situation!
"Master Chai, these mobs have indeed relieved the siege of the Gyeonggi area."
Because of the huge number, all the ministers from the Ministry of Revenue came in person. Others frowned when they saw such a large number of mobs, but he smiled.
Chaitino laughed with him and knew the reason for his happiness.
Emperor Tianqi exempted the Zhili area from corvee service, which was a good thing for the people, but for Dahua Construction, it was extremely bad.
Without the civilians, no one would repair the river embankments and post roads in the Gyeonggi region, and no one would repair the damaged city walls and streets. If we relied on recruiting workers, the finances would simply not be able to afford it.
Fortunately, there were millions of mobs to fill the vacancies, otherwise all previously planned construction projects in the Gyeonggi region would have been stalled.
After handing over the personnel, Chai Tiannuo was about to return to the camp with his brothers, the prison guards on the left and right, but he saw the servant Jia, whom he had not seen for several months, galloping towards him on horseback.
"Master Chai, I miss you so much after not seeing you for a long time!"
Waiter Jia flew off his horse, and while he was still three steps away, he crossed his hands and saluted. Chai Tiannuo grinned and returned the salute:
"Servant Jia, has something extraordinary happened again since you came here?"
"I can tell you that I haven't been idle at a certain point during this period, and I really want to take a rest."
Waiter Jia grinned:
"Looking at what you said, it's as if I'm a ghost!"
"Aren't you?"
Chai Tiannuo raised his eyebrows, and Chamberlain Jia also raised his eyebrows:
"Am I?"
"Isn't it?"
"Okay, I am."
Waiter Jia shrugged and said with a smile:
"But today is a good thing. You and Dongshan Province have made great achievements. Your Majesty has decreed to hold a great court meeting, and you are waiting for your reward!"
"Dachao meeting?"
Chaitino turned his head to look at the high sun and couldn't help grinning:
"It's already noon, why don't you still have a court meeting?"
"Isn't it because I'm waiting for you?"
Chai Tiannuo nodded and went to Beijing with Jia's servant.
"Servant Jia, my brothers who are the guards on the left and right have been with me through life and death, can I get a reward?"
"Naturally, I will reward you based on your merits in three days, and you will receive a lot of the rewards you deserve."
"That's good, what's my reward?"
"You'll know when you get there. If I had said it earlier, it would have been meaningless."
Waiter Jia chuckled, and Chai Tiannuo grinned. This was quite mysterious.
Entering Luoyang and entering the imperial city, the generals of the Han Dynasty stood guard of honor, ascended the golden palace, and paid homage to the emperor. The voices of praise were endless. Chai Tiannuo truly experienced the feeling of being welcomed by the crowds.
"It's almost lunch time, so I won't waste any time. Waiter Jia, please read out the reward!"
Emperor Tianqi must be hungry. As soon as Chai Tiannuo finished his salute, he waved his hands vigorously. Attendant Jia Nei came forward and bowed, picked up the scroll, and read loudly:
"Doctor Guanglu, Chai Tiannuo, the guard general of the left and right guards, is extremely talented, and his achievements in Dongshan are unparalleled. He is bestowed with the title of Shaobao as a commendation!"
"I will also reward you with a pair of Ruyi gold and jade inlays as a reward."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"
Chaitino crossed his hands and saluted, and the reward was expected.
He is already a high-ranking official of the second rank, and if he goes up higher, he can only be the Three Dukes and Three Solitaries. In the Dahua Dynasty, the three Dukes are there, but the three Solitaires are all vacant.
Just like what the servant Jia said, he has great achievements
There is no reward in the world, so I can only get a promotion.
However, the official position of this Shaobao is very satisfying to him, and it is not a real job. In addition, with the Grand General as the Taibao, he, a false deputy, must have an easy and comfortable life!
"It's late today. You are also a family-loving person. I won't keep you here. Just take the jade and leave!"
"By the way, let's get some rest at home, and we'll talk about anything else in ten days."
Emperor Tianqi waved his hand with a smile, Chai Tiannuo grinned and saluted sincerely, then smiled at the general and Zhao Shilang whom he had not seen for a long time, took the box and left.
After Chaitino left, the atmosphere in the court suddenly became tense.
"The traitor, did you really take action?"
Emperor Tianqi's voice suddenly turned cold, and Zhao Shilang of the Ministry of War, who had returned from his injury, nodded:
"You Qian Niu Guard was attacked, and the two sides fought for several days. General Zuo Lang of You Qian Niu Guard, and the commander of the Three Prefectures Zhechong were assassinated."
"Ordinary soldiers suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and the war was brutal."
"It is certain that the assassins are all Cangtian Dao priests!"
"Okay, great, hahahaha!"
Emperor Tianqi looked up to the sky and laughed, and anyone could hear the bitter taste in it.
"What a good, lonely son. He practices evil ways and takes life for food. He is completely unconscionable!"
"Li Chenglan!"
"I'm here!"
"Assemble the ten palaces of the Forbidden Army and arrange the guards on the left and right. We will set off in two days. You will personally lead the army to support us!"
"Take down that traitor and clean up Danzhou. I want to ask him face to face why he is like this!".
"Here!"
At the end of the dynasty, Emperor Tianqi had no desire to eat. He returned to the imperial study and sat in the scroll chair with a tired face, motionless.
"Your Majesty, drink some water. You haven't had enough water since this morning. It will hurt you."
Waiter Jia said worriedly.
Emperor Tianqi sighed, took the teacup and took a sip, then shook his head with a wry smile:
"What you said last time is that every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. You said it very well. What do you think of the third child? He can't live a good life, so why must he keep company with evil spirits?"
Chamberlain Jia didn't reply. It involved the royal family and his son. How could he, a little chamberlain, offer any advice?
Emperor Tianqi also knew this truth, so he reluctantly took a drink of water, and said with force:
"Go and talk to Mr. Pei and ask him to go with the general in two days. There are evil ways to catch the stars. If there are no experts to watch over you, something unexpected may happen."
"...Your Majesty, it's actually best for Mr. Chai to go. On this trip to the East Mountain, more than ten of the seventh-grade star-catchers will die in his hands. I'm afraid his level has improved again!"
"Why do you think Mr. Chai is so defiant?!"
Speaking of Chai Tiannuo, Emperor Tianqi cheered up. Chai Tiannuo's performance in the battle of Ziyang City was too amazing. One man fought against one city and won. It was simply outrageous!
"The two Taoist priests Luochuan Qingchuan said that this boy has definitely reached the realm of bone replacement, otherwise he would not have been able to kill more than ten stars so easily."
"It's only been a few months?"
"It's really unimaginable to Gu Gu to what state he will be back to in two or three years!"
"I'm afraid, I'm invincible!"
Waiter Jia thought for a while and said seriously.
"...giving birth to a child should be like Chai Tiannuo."
Emperor Tianqi nodded lightly.
The red rouge rabbit ran away on its feet. It had not been home for a long time and it missed him very much.
"Master Chai is back!"
"Hello, Mr. Chai!"
Neighbors greeted everyone along the way, and Chai Tiannuo responded one by one. Before he reached the door of his house, he saw a large group of people pouring out. The leader was none other than Chai Man'er.
