The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1256 Befriend the Ministry of War
Xuan Shijing came back in a hurry, and he didn't send a letter to his family to greet him on the way, and there was no need for it. The person who sent the letter might leave faster than Xuan Shijing on the boat.

Chang'an is still the same Chang'an. It was spring when we left, and it was already autumn when we came back. It's just a change of seasons.

After returning to Chang'an, it is necessary to send someone into the palace to send a letter. Xuan Shijing can only enter the palace when His Majesty Li Er sends someone to summon Xuan Shijing, because once he enters the palace, what is discussed is his reward, and this The reward is to be in the court meeting.

Xuan Shijing galloped towards Dongshan County with the soldiers on the Zhuangzi, not only Xuan Shijing missed his family, but also these soldiers, they were all men from Dongshan County. There are wives and children.

The goal of Xuan Shijing and his party is not small, and the team is flying a big banner with Xuan characters. When the people in Zhuangzi see this banner, they know that the soldiers from the army who are away from the expedition have returned to Zhuangzi.

Soon after Xuan Shijing's attack on Goguryeo spread to Chang'an in a hurry, the news spread from the palace to the entire Chang'an city, and then spread throughout Guanzhong, and even the entire Tang Dynasty.
Xuan Shijing's team passed through the gate of Zhuangzi's square, and many people gathered by the roadside. Soldiers returning from the expedition will be welcomed by the villagers. The Tang Dynasty admired literature and martial arts. It is a great honor to go out to fight and return victorious. Glory, there is a man in the family who has won a battle, and the whole family can walk on the Zhuangzi with their faces proud and their heads held high.

Someone from Zhuangzi went to the Hou's mansion to report the news. After Wang and Jinyang got the news, they immediately ordered the people in the mansion to open the gate of the mansion, sprinkle water in front of the gate, and then the maids and servants of the whole mansion came out to welcome them.

Xuan Shijing needs to settle the 500 people into the camp on Zhuangzi before they can go back. Moreover, after the soldiers are stationed, they need to send someone to report to the Ministry of War, and wait for the documents issued by the Ministry of War to arrive. Disband, go home and rest for a few days.

After arranging everything, Xuan Shijing took Chang Le back to the Hou Mansion.

When he arrived at the gate of Hou's mansion, he saw the maids and servants of the mansion waiting on the avenue in front of the gate under the leadership of his mother and Jin Yang.

Xuan Shijing rode up to him and jumped off the horse.

"Son pays respects to mother." Xuan Shijing walked in front of Wang and knelt on one knee to salute.

"Get up quickly, my son fought for the country, and it is the glory of the Xuan family to return triumphant." Wang helped Xuan Shijing up: "It's good to come back safely, thinner and darker."

"But it's a lot stronger." Xuan Shijing grinned and turned to look at Jinyang.

"Husband." Jin Yang saluted respectfully.

"When I was away, such a big family, you and mother, worked hard." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "Why don't you see Bingyue?"

"That girl Bingyue is still in Chang'an City. You came back so suddenly today that you didn't even receive a letter. You made preparations in a hurry. You have already sent people to Chang'an, and they will come back in a while. Once you leave, Even the boy from the Fang family and the boy from the Zhao family went to Liaodong, the huge Shenhou Mansion in Chang'an City, where is the city without a backbone? Bingyue also stayed in the Shenhou Mansion for a long time before, and after they left, She went there to sit in town." Wang Shi said.

The Xuan family's rules are not so strict, women's family members are not allowed to show their faces and so on, not to mention that the Tang Dynasty itself is open and tolerant, even the Wang family, didn't they also hang out in the army camp?So when she became a mother-in-law, she didn't have so many problems.

"Mother, husband, don't stick around outside, let's go back to the house, I have already ordered the kitchen to start preparing, and clean up the dust for husband at night." Jin Yang said.

"Okay, let's go home." Wang said with a smile.

"Go! Go home!" Xuan Shijing took Wang's and Jinyang's hands, and entered the house, followed by the servants behind her.

Fang Yiai and Marshal Zhao parted ways with Xuan Shijing's team outside Chang'an City. Both of them had to return to Chang'an before dark to reunite with their families. As for Dongshan County, they would not arrive until tomorrow. In the camp above Zhuangzi, he and the five hundred soldiers obeyed the will of the emperor.

When Xuan Shijing returned to Dongshan County, he would not only send the essays to the Ministry of War, but the people in the Ministry of War would write the memorial and send it to the palace.

Of course, Xuan Shijing could also send someone to send the memorial to the palace, but he still chose to go to the Ministry of War. Although it may be slower than sending someone to send it by himself, it is also better than the Ministry of War, and one should not be too independent. Regarding Shijing's return to Beijing, all arrangements were made by the Ministry of War, which gave the Ministry of War enough face. At the court, no matter how rewards Xuan Shijing and his soldiers received, at least the Ministry of War was on his side.

Harmony makes money, hello, hello, everyone, this is the network, this is the relationship.

Before leaving, Xuan Shijing told the people in the Ministry of War that after this battle, the Ministry of War's contribution is indispensable. Now that the battle is over and people have returned to Chang'an, it's time to fulfill their promise.

Xuan Shijing’s promise at the beginning also helped him a lot. When he was fighting Goguryeo, court officials rarely intervened in Xuan Shijing’s military affairs. Firstly, His Majesty Li Er supported him behind the scenes; The officials in the court dealt with each other, and several veterans in the court had confidence in Xuan Shijing, so Xuan Shijing was so comfortable in Liaodong, he needed food and grass, and he needed manpower.

It was originally said that [-] Liaodong troops attacked Goguryeo, and Liu Rengui assisted. In the end, Goguryeo was destroyed and Baekje was destroyed. Su Dingfang led [-] troops to help, and Liu Boying led the navy from Yangzhou to Liaodong.
The people sent by Xuan Shijing went to the Ministry of War, informed the people of the Ministry of War that Xuan Shijing had returned to Dongshan County, and sent Xuan Shijing's personal letter.

"The Marquis of Dongshan came back from Pyongyang City, and now he is stationed at Zhuangzi in Dongshan County, and only brought back his five hundred elite soldiers." The servant of the Ministry of War said: "What he looked like when he left, he will look like when he comes back. We still underestimated the five hundred soldiers he trained."

"That's not the point. The point is that when the Marquis of Dongshan returned to Chang'an, he went directly to Zhuangzi instead of entering Chang'an City. He sent someone to deliver a letter to us. It seems that he wanted to follow the proper procedure." A servant said: "The most important thing right now is to sign and issue the document of Xiumu, the five hundred soldiers of Dongshan County, and send it to Zhuangzi as soon as possible. I will take care of this matter. As for you, hurry up and write a memorial and report this matter to His Majesty." , taking advantage of the fact that the palace city is still closed, send the memorial to the palace, this time to conquer Goguryeo and Baekje, look at Dongshanhou's meaning, the benefits of this are indispensable to our Ministry of War, we also know that it is interesting."

"That's right." The other nodded in agreement.
