Chapter 245: Giving Nine Gifts

No matter how the deputy general explains it, at least Qi Zeguang's impression of the Xiaochuanmen is that he has been sentenced to death. When he is done with his business this time, he will definitely come back to deal with this private gang.

By the time they returned to their residence, the scouts who had gone to Mobei to deliver a message had already been waiting for a long time.

When Qi Zeguang saw that the person was back, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it going? Has Chen Mu finished the matter over there?"

In this era of communication congestion, the news of Chen Mu's sweep of Monan only spread north of the Yangtze River, and people in the south of the Yangtze River were not aware of it. After all, in ancient times, the scout in front of him was the fastest communication tool.

The scout handed over his hand to Qi Zeguang, and then smiled and told Qi Zeguang everything that happened in Mobei.

When I heard that Chen Mu had defeated all the Tatar army, and even cut off the head of the Tatar emperor, I felt so shocked.

"General, the King of Shuchuan is really powerful. From now on, there will be no more military disasters in Mobei."

Qi Zeguang sat down and took a sip of tea, unable to calm down for a long time: "Yes, I really can't believe that the barbarian disaster that has plagued the Central Plains for nearly a hundred years no longer exists."

You must know that five years ago, in front of the powerful Tatar country, Longxia could only settle into a situation of paying taxes, supplying and demanding peace, and allowing them to do whatever they wanted on the border.

But just five years later, the entire country was beaten to subjugation, and it felt like a dream.

After a long silence, Qi Zeguang got straight to the point: "By the way, has Chen Mu led his troops to Jiangnan?"

The scout shook his head: "King Shuchuan went to Chang'an first after learning that there was no war in Jiangnan, but he said he would come to Jiangnan to garrison."

Qi Zeguang nodded: "That's good, let's go down."

"I have to admire how courageous the King of Shuchuan is. Although he is called a courtier now, he has actually been a warlord of one side for a long time. He still dares to go to Chang'an. I really admire his courage."

Qi Zeguang gave a wry smile: "The current Emperor is not a fool, and Chen Mu is neither. They are just helping each other. As long as Japan does not fall, they will continue to be like this."

The deputy general scratched his head: "I don't quite understand how these countries are organized."

The Jiangnan side was waiting for the arrival of Chen Mu's army. At this time, Chen Mu also led the army and settled in Fufeng County, not far from Chang'an.

And he himself led his men to Chang'an City to accept the reward. Even though Chen Mutong was actually equal in status to the current emperor, now that Long Xia was still alive, he was still a courtier, and he still had to do some face-saving projects.

However, given Chen Mu's current position as Wang Jiajiang Pastor, to be honest, I really don't know what Liu Yuan wants to grant him.

It's winter now, and the Chang'an area is already covered in heavy white snow.

Having just come down from the battlefield, Chen Mu was still wearing a suit of armor and was riding towards the Chang'an city gate. He looked very majestic and majestic.

At this moment, in addition to the two hundred people in the city raising their eyes to welcome him, all the civil and military officials of the imperial court also came out of the city to welcome him, and the leader was none other than Liu Yuan.

These people may not want to welcome them here, but they know that this time they directly destroyed the Tatar country, so they had to go out of the city to welcome them.

When the horse came to Liu Yuan, Chen Mu quickly dismounted and saluted: "Your Majesty, Chen Mu, pays homage to your Majesty."

Liu Yuan smiled warmly: "This time King Shuchuan has wiped out the north in one fell swoop. From now on, there will be no more wars on the border. Follow me into the palace quickly. I have prepared a celebration wine for you."

Under Liu Yuan's hand, Chen Mu sat on the dragon boat together.

Huangfu, who was walking into the city, saw the two of them being so close and couldn't help but sigh: "They look like brothers."

When Han Xin'er heard this, he sneered and said, "If one day it comes time to cut each other down, each one will be more ruthless than the other."

But when the two of them entered the dragon's retreat, the scene where the monarch and his ministers were kissing me suddenly faded away.

"I heard that there may be wars along the coast. Is this true?"

Liu Yuan nodded lightly: "The Japanese people are indeed doing something in private. After all, they have always been plotting against the Central Plains. It's not surprising."

Chen Mu pondered for a long time, then sighed softly and said: "In that case, when I return to Yizhou this time, I will move the army to station in the Jiangnan area, how about it?"

Now Chen Mu is almost tied to the imperial court. In a sense, Chen Mu is almost more loyal than a loyal minister.

"I think you should go there immediately. I feel the war may happen during this time."

Liu Yuan's meaning was very clear. If a war suddenly breaks out, Yizhou is too far away from Jiangnan. Once the war breaks out, there will be no time to provide support.

"Okay, I'll mobilize the army there first, and I'm still going to go back to Yizhou."

"what ever."

After talking for a while, the team arrived at Weiyang Palace. Liu Yuan prepared an extremely luxurious banquet for Chen Mu and his party, including bear paws, bird's nests and other high-end dishes. Each table was worth almost a thousand taels of gold.

Huangfu and other generals who accompanied him naturally exclaimed in surprise, but only Chen Mu let out a cold sigh in his heart.

This is all nonsense. In this expedition to Mobei, not only did the army bring their own supplies, food and grass, and compensation for the soldiers killed in battle, but there were also rewards for the soldiers. Chen Musao said that he paid nearly ten million taels of silver out of his own pocket.

Throughout ancient times, fighting has always been a costly and costly affair.

But fortunately, now that the big machine of Yizhou has begun to operate, supporting Chen Mu to fight a few battles is not a problem at all.

Now he didn't want to be polite anymore, so he led the generals to the table and started eating.

Until early the next morning, Chen Mu led everyone to the Jinluan Hall.

Another canonization. For Chen Mu, the power and status in his hands now, except for the emperor on the stage, have been capped. Any title will not change him in the slightest.

This is the legendary master with great achievements, but due to the current situation, they have to endure each other.

Chen Mu is not interested, which does not mean that the generals behind him are not interested. Although they all clearly serve Chen Mu, after all, it is still Long Xia's court in name. Any general title can only count if it is recognized by the current court.

"Confess Han Xin'er the title of Duke Wushuang, grant him a hundred catties of gold, and the taxation rights of Wuwei County."

"Chasing Xiahou as the King of Taiyuan..."

Chen Mu felt a little relieved when he heard that Xiahou, who died in the battle, was posthumously granted the title. At least he would be able to leave his name for eternity after his death.

"Give Chen Mujiu, King of Shuchuan, the right to hold the festival!"

Although there was no ban on the account, all the officials present looked shocked when he said these words!

"Nine gifts, this is the highest courtesy. There are very few people in history who can receive this reward."

The Nine Gifts can be called the pinnacle of honor for a minister. The ministers who receive such rewards are all outstanding people in the world.

Chen Mu was also a little surprised at the moment. Those who received the Nine Gifts were all passed down through the ages, and those who were rewarded with fame were rare.

As for observing integrity, this thing is even more powerful. Once a minister observes integrity, it means that officials with a salary of two thousand dan can be killed without reporting it.
