Chapter 733 Memorial

The sun sets in the west and the sky is filled with colorful clouds.

The entire Yamatokan is reflected in its golden splendor.

Bah bah bah.

There were hurried footsteps and the gatekeeper hurried into the main hall.

"My Lord, Li and Luo are coming to our hall."

  Call ~

Hashimoto, who was sitting upright, couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

After waiting for half a day, it finally came.

Tsk tsk.

"My Lord," a voice filled with joy and pride came from the side, "It seems that Li Luo and the others... haven't gone to Baekje Pavilion next door yet."

Although the two countries are at odds, judging from the whereabouts of Li and Luo, in the eyes of the Yunchui Empire or Emperor Taixi, Yamato is still more important.

"Of course," Hashimoto was not surprised. He pondered and nodded slightly.

"On the battlefield, the strong are the kings. Yun Chui, the new emperor, was born in the military, so he believes in this the most."

"As for Baekje? They are just defeated by us. We will naturally put the Yunchui people behind."

"What the doctor said is right." The others nodded repeatedly, and couldn't help but straighten their chests. "Baekje is nothing, it's not worthy of being compared with us."

"If Yun Chui hadn't intervened, they might have been dead long ago."

"It's all Ishikawa Taki's fault. If he hadn't rashly marched westward and only attacked Baekje..."

The noise in the hall made Hashimoto frown.

"Silence!" He lowered his voice and growled, "Put on your clothes and follow me to greet the two adults."

"At this critical moment of Yamato's survival, if anyone talks nonsense and gets into trouble, don't blame me for being merciless."

"Yes!" Everyone's faces straightened and they dared not say anything more.

As Hashimoto and his companions stepped out of the main hall and had not yet said a word, they heard a hearty laugh at the entrance of the embassy.

Haha.

Li Zheng took a few quick steps.

He clasped his hands together, his face full of smiles.

"Congratulations, Doctor Qing. Congratulations, Doctor Qing."

  what's the situation?

Hashimoto and his men looked at each other, their minds were full of confusion, but they habitually welcomed each other.

"Congratulations, welcome to our Yamato-kan. Please come in."

After entering the main hall, the two sides exchanged a few pleasantries and sat down as host and guest.

After Hashimoto submitted his credentials according to tradition, someone around him couldn't wait to stand up.

"May I ask you, gentlemen Li and Luo, what did you mean by congratulations just now?"

"You don't know yet?" Li Luo looked at each other in surprise.

"I just received news that the war in Huayang County has ended. From now on, there will be no more fighting between Yunchui and Yamato, and the people of the two countries will be able to rest and recuperate. Isn't this a great joy for you and me?"

Hashimoto's heart was in turmoil.

  The war in Huayang County is over, doesn’t that mean that Ishikawa Taki and his men have been defeated?

After a while, Hashimoto came back to his senses. Looking at Li and Luo who were in high spirits in front of him, he felt embarrassed and even wanted to curse.

What a good thing! What a bullshit! Congratulations!

However, Hashimoto still had to bite the bullet and thank him.

"Thank you both for bringing us the latest battle situation on the East Coast. I wonder where General Ishikawa and his men are now..."

The journey from Xingji City to Huayang County is long, and Yun Chui strictly controls the news, so the diplomats stationed in Xingji City really don’t know the specific situation in Huayang County.

  Ishikawa Taki?

A cold light flashed across Li Zheng's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"General Ishikawa," he mused for a moment, "is on his way to Xingji City now. I estimate that within three days, you will be able to see him on Suzaku Street."

Hashimoto was stunned.

  Three days later?

This time point sounded familiar to him. It was another hot word in Xingji City recently besides the new emperor's enthronement.

It was the day when Lu Ping'an, Liang Rushi and Yu Ziping escorted Hisado Naoto and Geni Masato to Xingji City.

Hashimoto quickly did some calculations and almost groaned in pain.

Three days is neither long nor short. If you ride at full speed, you can indeed get to Xingji City from Huayang County.

But at this moment, Ishikawa Taki was most likely a prisoner and certainly couldn't ride a horse.

As for the prison car, I'm afraid it won't even be able to get out of Huayang County in just three days.

"General Ishikawa..." Hashimoto held it in for a long time, but couldn't help but squeeze out the words, "Died in battle?" Compared to a living person, transporting a dead body is much faster.

Haha.

Li Zheng smiled and laughed.

"Master Qing, we are old acquaintances, so there is no need to hide anything from you. It's just that I have been busy in Xingji City preparing for His Majesty's enthronement, so I am not very clear about the specific situation on the East Coast."

As for whether Ishikawa Taki is dead or alive, it is even less clear.

----

Palace city, golden palace.

A large number of ministers who were unable to attend the coronation ceremony but wanted to show their face in front of the new emperor had just left.

At this time, the huge golden palace was silent, with only two people standing with their hands hanging down.

Chen Xiulan, Prince of Jin, and Chen Xiujian, Prince of Ming.

"Sit down!" Ren Ning walked down from the palace platform and patted the fat man who was no longer fat. "You just came back from Huayang County? You haven't gone home to see the princess yet, right?"

Hey.

Chen Xiulan stood there motionless.

"Your Majesty, the palace and the princess are there. I am not in a hurry."

"Forget it." Ren Ning was filled with emotion. "After fighting for such a long time, my brother has not only become thinner but also darker. If you show up in the palace so suddenly, I guess the princess won't recognize you. By the way, you didn't suffer any serious injuries, right?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." The fat man secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ren Ning had not changed much.

He struck a majestic pose and said, "Most of the tough battles were fought by Huang Ming and his brothers. I was just guarding the rear, so I didn't get hurt."

As for skin injuries, there will definitely be some to a greater or lesser extent.

But it's not worth mentioning.

"It's good that you're not seriously injured." Ren Ning has been on many battlefields, so he knows everything. "Go back home and have a good rest later."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ren Ning nodded and turned to Chen Xiujian who was standing next to him like a zombie.

"King Ming."

"The minister is here."

Ren Ning nodded, and glanced at Chen Xiulan beside him, "My brother and a group of generals will bring the prisoners back to the capital in three days. You and the Ministry of Rites will go to greet them on my behalf."

Although Chen Xiujian stood still, his heart was in turmoil. He racked his brains but could not figure out why Ren Ning asked him to come over.

Hearing this, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"As ordered, I will go to the Ministry of Rites to discuss relevant matters with Minister Fan after I leave the palace. I will definitely live up to your majesty's trust."

"Very good." Ren Ning nodded with satisfaction.

He walked back to Chen Xiulan.

"Second brother, the war has just ended, and you should have had a good rest for a while. But we don't have many brothers, so there are still some things you need to do."

Chen Xiulan and Chen Xiujian looked at each other in surprise and saluted.

"Your Majesty, please speak. We will do our best to live up to your trust."

Ren Ning nodded and turned to look to the left of the hall.

There stands a huge map of clouds hanging there.

"This is the vast territory left by our ancestors. Every inch of land is stained with blood, and every handful of earth is covered with souls. The many loyal people who have defended our country for thousands of years should not be forgotten by future generations."

"I want to erect monuments for the heroes who died in battle at various border battlefields, such as Dinghai Wharf, Beihai Pass, Zhennan Pass, Yanchui Fortress, etc., so that people can be sent to pay tribute to them during the Qingming and Double Ninth Festivals in the future."

"Really?" Chen Xiulan subconsciously took a few steps forward, her throat a little choked when she spoke.

After coming to his senses, he quickly stepped back and bowed solemnly again.

"I thank Your Majesty on behalf of all my brothers who have fought on the battlefield."

I remember that once every four years, the fortress would send the coffin back to its hometown. Wherever it went, officials and civilians had to give way, otherwise they would be charged with treason.

In the past, being fat always seemed ridiculous.

He is a member of the royal family, second only to the emperor and above everyone else.

However, when they met a team sending a deceased person back to his hometown on the road, they actually had to bend down to avoid the coffins and skeletons of people who had been dead for who knows how long. It was simply unreasonable.

But since he went to the battlefield in the past two years and went through countless bloody battles, he finally understood.

These coffins were worthy of their bowing.
