After this battle, the emperor's reputation once again rose to its peak. ? ? In this month, the thirteen cities of Tieyun were lost one after another, and the defeats were reported one after another. The people were miserable, and people inside and outside the court were panicked.
However, the emperor personally led the army and killed the opponent's commander in just five days. He also defeated Dashun's army thousands of miles away!
If later generations of historians wanted to describe the current saint, they would probably only be able to use the words "great achievements".
Throughout the twenty years of His Majesty's rule, there have been countless miracles and countless great achievements that are hard to count.
That night, the emperor held a celebration banquet in Tianyun City.
All the officers and soldiers, except those on duty, joined in the carnival.
It was a sleepless night.
The next morning, the emperor led Chen Yang, Lan Tingyu, Wei Wuji, and Qiao Ning back to the imperial city. Tang Zhennan continued to guard Tianyun City. As for the Thirteenth City of Tieyun, the emperor had already arranged generals, officers and soldiers
, there are also officials to assist. Tieyun Thirteen Cities suffered a heavy blow, but the emperor has promised that the surviving people will receive due compensation.
This is definitely a big drain on the national treasury.
However, the current emperor has never been selfish towards his subjects.
In such an era, to have such an emperor is good news to the people of great prosperity.
The emperor has almost become a perfect man. He is a virtuous minister, a distant man, not addicted to women, he is wise and wise...
At noon that day, the emperor and his party returned to the imperial city.
Outside the Xuantian Gate of the imperial palace, Lan Tianji led all the civil and military officials to kneel down to greet him.
After Chen Yang and others followed the emperor into the palace, the emperor simply held a court meeting, and then asked Chen Yang and others to go home and rest. As for rewards, etc., they would have to wait until the fifteenth of this month, when the emperor would hold the reward ceremony again.
Monthly meeting.
There are three days left until the fifteenth day of this month!
Chen Yang and Qiao Ning naturally returned to Shaowei Mansion.
It was five o'clock in the afternoon when we returned to Shaowei Mansion. As soon as we returned to the mansion, Batu flew around happily. Shaowei Mansion was also his home. Nie Meiniang had the kitchen prepare a sumptuous dinner.
Before Qiao Ning and Chen Yang entered the house, firecrackers were set off at the door.
Everyone in the Shaowei Mansion was filled with joy.
This makes both Qiao Ning and Chen Yang feel like they are at home. Shaowei Mansion is their big family.
Qiao Ning said with a smile: "I haven't been to the house that the emperor gave me for a day, so I might as well sell it."
Chen Yang laughed and said, "That's up to you, but do you dare to sell the emperor's reward?"
Qiao Ning smiled and said, "That's what I said."
The dinner was very enjoyable, and we had a good chat over a glass of wine. Nie Meiniang was also very interested in hearing what Chen Yang and Qiao Ning said about this battle.
Chen Yang and Qiao Ning did not have any reservations about Nie Meiniang. As long as it was not a military secret that was not allowed to be disclosed, they would tell Nie Meiniang.
Nie Meiniang lives a good life in Shaowei Mansion. Here, she no longer has to look at anyone's color to act. This is a very comfortable state.
In the evening, Chen Yang and Qiao Ning were chatting in the pavilion while enjoying the cool air.
Nie Meiniang went to play with Batu.
"How does it feel?" Qiao Ning asked Chen Yang with a smile.
Chen Yang couldn't help being stunned and said: "What does it feel like?"
Qiao Ning said: "You have always been considered to be unrivaled in scheming, and this time you went out with the emperor. Do you think the emperor's scheming compares to yours?"
Chen Yang was startled when he heard this, and then he thought about it carefully. This thought made him feel extremely frightened. He said sincerely: "I am not as good as the emperor."
"Oh, what should I say?" Qiao Ning said.
"Although my previous strategy of besieging Ba Zhiwen and annihilating the Taishang Cult was successful, I thought about it later and found that there were still many loopholes. If that day, Huang Banruo and the others had seen through our strategy and rushed directly into the county government office.
The consequences were unimaginable, and when I thought about it carefully later, I felt scared!"
Qiao Ning said: "Huang Banruo thought that the county government office was our ambush, so he definitely didn't dare to go in. But there is a one percent chance that he will go in."
Chen Yang said: "But look at the emperor this time, he first used Wei Wuji to confuse the other party. Obviously we people can surround and kill Wen Dao, but the emperor still let Wei Wuji not notify us, creating an illusion. After Wen Dao
Only when the Taishang Dragon Monument was actually used and the empty door was exposed, Wei Wuji really took action. He would only take action when everything was absolutely safe. This is the emperor's meticulousness! Furthermore, when the emperor broke the Qianyuan Golden Light Formation, he asked Wei Wuji to go
At the same time, we were on guard against Wei Wuji, because we were afraid that Wei Wuji would defect to the Yuntian Sect. Therefore, we did not see anyone from the beginning to the end."
"Who?" Qiao Ning asked.
Chen Yang said: "Gongsun!" He paused and said: "Gongsun is the most secretive killer around the emperor. I saw Gongsun once before when I came out. But then, Gongsun disappeared completely and never took action.
Yes. But I believe that Gongsun must have gone. He is the escape route left by the emperor! And I also believe that even if Wei Wuji rebels against Yun Tianzong, even if Gongsun cannot subdue Wei Wuji, the emperor must have arranged a way out.
.The biggest difference between the emperor's formation and mine is that he does not take any risks. The emperor actually has several ideas to prevent risks that seem to exist."
Qiao Ning said: "You see clearly. I have never seen anyone as terrifying as the Emperor's tricks."
Chen Yang said: "However, the emperor has been holding on to the four masters of the Yuntian Sect, and Luo Tianhua of the God Clan has also been arrested. These two sides are hot potatoes, and the God Clan and the Yuntian Sect are afraid that they will not
I will give up and give up."
Qiao Ning said: "The emperor has obviously thought of everything you and I have thought of. I just don't know what the emperor is thinking about."
Chen Yang said: "On the surface, now the emperor has completely poked a hornet's nest. Dakang's strength is really not enough to deal with the Yuntian Sect and the God Clan. But I don't know why, I am not too worried. It seems that as long as the emperor is around,
Nothing is a problem.”
Qiao Ning said: "You are not the only one who feels this way, I also feel this way. This time we were fighting against Dashun. From the obvious point of view, it was a difficult battle to fight. But later, the emperor was so effortless.
He won the war and captured the opponent's four masters alive. This is truly an incredible thing."
Chen Yang said: "It is not for you and me to guess the emperor's thoughts." He paused and then said: "By the way, Miss Qiao, after the moon viewing party, I want you to take me to collect the essence of the earth evil spirit.
"
Qiao Ning said: "No problem!"
Then, she added: "I think Batu can be placed in Shaowei's Mansion now to accompany Meiniang. I will also tell Meiniang how to teach Batu to practice."
Chen Yang nodded and said: "This is good. Batu has been in Jie Xumi, and he feels aggrieved. No one in the imperial city dares to come and try to take his ideas."
Qiao Ning said: "I think so too."
Three days later, it will be September 15th. On this night, the bright moon will be in the sky.
In the imperial garden of the palace, all preparations for the moon-viewing party have been arranged.
The imperial garden was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and the maids and eunuchs placed fine wines and delicacies, seasonal fruits, grape wine, and glazed luminous cups in front of the banquet table.
Orchestral strings, silk and bamboo, singers and dancers, everything is ready.
The emperor has already ordered that ministers and servants can come with their families.
This is a grand banquet.
The emperor and his queen attended the banquet, and other princes were also present.
Chen Yang had never heard of the queen before. This was the first time he saw the queen. He also saw the princes at the banquet. There were twelve princes and three princesses in total. The eldest among the princes was already twenty.
Two years old, the youngest is still in his infancy.
Although the emperor seized his body and moved to Tianzhou twenty years ago, when he was the prince, he had a princess and gave birth to a son.
All the ministers and ministers have taken their seats respectively. Chen Yang, Qiao Ning and Nie Meiniang are sitting next to them. Next to them are Lan Tingyu and others!
Wei Wuji, as well as Wuhou and Wenhou were all sitting under the emperor.
First, the emperor and the queen toasted to open the wine. The ministers and ministers also toasted together, wishing the emperor and the queen good luck and good health, etc.
Chen Yang saw that the queen was beautiful, dignified, and extremely beautiful. She looked like she was only in her twenties.
Her beauty is not inferior to Qiao Ning's.
The emperor also looked young, so he matched well with the queen.
After sitting down, the dancer began to dance. The ministers drank and chatted.
"The Queen seems to be a master too?" Chen Yang whispered to Qiao Ning.
Qiao Ning smiled and said, "You can ask Mei Niang this question. Mei Niang should know better than me."
Nie Meiniang also smiled and said: "Before the emperor became the prince, he had a princess who gave birth to the eldest prince Taiji. However, after the emperor ascended the throne, he did not make this princess the queen."
"Oh, this seems unreasonable, right?" Chen Yang said.
Nie Meiniang said: "The emperor is a person who keeps his word, and he will care about what is right and wrong. The princess was named a noble concubine, and she is always happy now. This queen is the lord of Yongle Palace. When the emperor wanted to destroy Yongle Palace, Yongle
Everyone in the palace declared their allegiance to the emperor. At the same time, the emperor was also very happy with the owner of Yongle Palace, so he directly named the queen."
Chen Yang said: "That's it!"
"Has the Queen given birth to an heir for the Emperor?" Chen Yang asked Nie Meiniang.
Nie Meiniang said: "Well, look at the baby boy, he is the prince that the queen gave birth to for the emperor three months ago. The emperor has already made him the prince."
Chen Yang couldn't help being surprised and said: "This, the emperor is actually so hasty?"
Qiao Ning whispered: "No one can figure out the emperor's thoughts. However, the emperor is very affectionate to the queen. Over the years, although the emperor has children with other concubines, he never spends the night with other concubines. The emperor and the queen
The feeling is very enviable.”
Chen Yang couldn't help but look at the Queen, and the Queen happened to look at Chen Yang as well.
When their eyes met, the Queen's eyes were as warm as water and as pure as bright eyes. One look at them made people feel involuntarily ashamed of themselves.
