In the bathroom, a lantern was hung on the wall, Long Chen was leaning on the edge, and Xiang Ning was scrubbing diligently beside him.
Xiao'e and Xiao Daiyu were running around with bare feet.
Fei Linai came in wearing a bathrobe and said, "Master is back. Please dance for Master."
Long Chen nodded slightly: "Call the others over."
Soon, Fei Rina came in with a dozen women, all wearing pink and light bathrobes.
Xiao'e held a piece of fruit and brought it over with a smile. Xiao Daiyu poured another glass of wine, and Long Chen drank it slowly.
"Master, you are ready."
Long Chen said slowly: "Start playing music, start dancing..."
The female musician began to play, and Feline began to dance.
Under the thin pink yukata, the dancer twists her waist, bends down and lifts her legs from time to time, showing endless charm.
"It's better to be at home."
Long Chen lamented that fighting outside was so damn hard, but when he returned home, he could enjoy being a master.
There is wine, meat, and fruits, beautiful women dancing in front of them, and beautiful women waiting in the water. This is the life that men want.
Coming out of the bathroom and returning to the bedroom, Long Chen planned to have a good sleep...
"What are you doing?"
Zhang Qian was sitting on the bed applying jade cream. She had tanned a lot these days. After wiping the fleshy areas on her face, her face flickered...
Bai Tingting was sitting in front of the dressing table combing her hair, Dugu Jiali and Wu Chuchu were hugging each other and laughing, and Wu Xiangyun was making the bed.
"I'll wait until you come back to sleep."
Dugu Jiali let go of Wu Chuchu, walked down barefoot, and pulled Long Chen to lie down.
Wu Xiangyun smiled and said: "Husband, I heard them talk about the war in Xixia. Husband is so powerful."
Zhang Qian finished wiping it off and put her top back on.
"You actually don't have to wear it."
Long Chen grabbed it through his pajamas.
Zhang Qian turned sideways and said, "I left my clothes on the bed."
Long Chen failed to catch Zhang Qian, and stretched out his hands to hold Wu Xiangyun in his arms: "Is my little wife not injured? The fight in Caishi City was very difficult, thank you for your hard work."
Wu Xiangyun got into his arms and said coquettishly: "Husband, I want to follow you from now on."
Long Chen smiled and said: "Okay, follow me from now on."
Bai Tingting combed her hair and walked up to lie down.
The originally large bed was not enough for several people.
"I can finally have a good sleep."
Bai Tingting stretched herself and blew out the candle.
....
Daming Palace.
Long Chen stood in front of the generals, behind him were Di Lingyi, Di Luoxi, and other generals.
Opposite are Emperor Yuwei and Emperor Xingwan, as well as six civil servants.
The empress came out of the inner court and sat on the phoenix chair. Yingfeng shouted: "Go to court!"
All the ministers paid homage to the empress.
"During this period of time, dear friends, you have worked hard. Nanliang and Xixia invaded our Zhou Dynasty brazenly, and wars broke out in Linjiang City, Caishi City and Jade Buddha Pass. The battles were tragic."
"Thanks to God's help, the three princesses repelled Nanliang in Caishi City, Dazhu Kingdom defeated Xixia at Jade Buddha Pass, and the situation in the court was finally stabilized."
"The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel will jointly check the military merits and reward them according to their merits!"
Baili Bing, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Wang Wei, the Minister of the Ministry of War, came out and worshiped: "I obey the decree."
"I am hosting a banquet to celebrate today, and all my dear friends will join me at the table."
The empress was very happy. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty was attacked by Xixia and Nanliang at the same time, and there were still Tianxia Hui who caused trouble inside. However, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty finally withstood the pressure and won. This shows that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty's combat effectiveness is already the first.
The ministers were also very happy. This time the situation was very dangerous, but in the end they turned defeat into victory.
"Congratulations to Dazhu Kingdom for another great achievement."
"The third princess is brave, the fourth princess is brave."
Di Yuwei and Di Xingwan were both envious and jealous. This time, Long Chen and Di Luoxi made great achievements at the same time.
Emperor Xingwan sighed quietly: "Sister, it's better to lead the army to fight and make achievements quickly."
Di Yuwei said helplessly: "You and I don't know how to lead troops."
Just as the ministers were congratulating each other, Li Yizheng, a veteran cabinet minister, came out and paid homage: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
The empress smiled and said, "Tell me."
Li Yizheng glanced at Long Chen and said: "Your Majesty, I am impeaching Long Chengen for treason!"
hiss...
The lively and festive court suddenly froze, and everyone looked at Li Yizheng in surprise.
"Treason? Why do you say that?"
The empress knew what Li Yizheng was going to say.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the army of the four princesses occupied the Zhenguo Temple, but Long Chengen negotiated privately and returned the Zhenguo Temple to Xixia. This is not treason!"
Li Yizheng said loudly.
The ministers in the DPRK have heard about this matter, but no one dares to be sure or say anything.
The matter of returning Zhenguo Temple is too big. If we don't make it clear, sooner or later it will be dug up and even rumors will arise.
The empress glanced at Long Chen and said, "The Ministry of War has already written down the story of the battle at Jade Buddha Pass and will circulate it to all your dear friends."
"The return of Zhenguo Temple is rather complicated. I didn't want to talk about it at first, but Mr. Li said it in court, so I must give an answer."
The ministers held their breath and waited for the empress' answer.
"In the battle of Chiyan Temple, Long Chengen and Ling Yi defeated the Xixia army and then occupied Zhenguo Temple. Ling Yi did not capture it alone."
"It was later returned to Zhenguo Temple because I entrusted Long Chengen to negotiate peace with Xixia, not because Long Chengen wanted to return it."
After the empress finished speaking, the ministers in the court were in an uproar.
"Zhenguo Temple is the eastern gate of Xixia, a battleground for military strategists. Why is it returned so easily?"
"If we occupy the Zhenguo Temple, we can advance, retreat, and defend during the Great Zhou Dynasty, and we can seize the lifeline of Xixia."
"Your Majesty must have a deep meaning in doing this. We cannot make rash guesses."
The ministers discussed it one after another and expressed their incomprehension.
The empress said: "Let me tell you clearly, because Xixia has found the world and will intervene in this matter, I have decided to return the Zhenguo Temple."
The ministers in the DPRK heard that the Tianxiahui was intervening, and many people stopped talking.
But there were also many ministers who whispered curses on the world. They heard that the war was started by the world, and now they forced Zhou to return the Zhenguo Temple.
"Of course, Zhenguo Temple was not given in vain. Xixia paid 3 million gold coins as a ransom."
"So strictly speaking, Zhenguo Temple was not returned, but sold to Xixia."
After the empress finished speaking, Duan Shuangshuang, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, said: "My lords, Sifanglou has sent the gold coins to the Ministry of Revenue for storage a few days ago."
When the ministers heard that 3 million gold coins had been collected, they became happy again.
"Three million gold coins? How much revenue does Xixia's treasury earn in a year?"
"Didn't you hear Duan Shangshu said that it was Sifanglou who sent the gold coins to the Ministry of Revenue?"
"Could it be said that Xixia borrows money from the world?"
"It is estimated that, as a result, Xixia's political affairs..."
After hearing this, veteran cabinet minister Li Yizheng understood the reason.
"I see, it was the veteran who was rude. I will make amends to Dazhu Kingdom."
Long Chen smiled and said: "Master Li is also out of public interest. Those who don't know are not guilty."
The empress said: "Okay, let's make it clear. All my dear ladies, please take your seats."
After leaving the Daming Palace and going to the side hall, the empress held a banquet for all the officials.
The banquet didn't break up until evening.
Di Luoxi was drunk and kept teasing Long Chen while the ministers next to her pretended not to notice.
The empress signaled Long Chen to take Di Luoxi back, and Long Chen helped Di Luoxi return to the palace.
