Dajin royal family

Chapter 162

Originally, Jiang Chengxiao gave him the impression that he was a white and clean scribe, but after this expedition, this little guy seemed to have become a lot more resolute, with a little bit of sharpness on his body, but then he thought that this kid dared to fight with 5000 people The 20 Turkic army is also clear.He once guessed that the reason why this kid dared to take such a risk was that he had wrongly estimated the number of Turkic people, but after all, he was extremely meritorious in this battle.

The emperor's eyes lingered on General Hussars for a long time. Those who didn't know his identity were a little envious of Jiang Chengxiao. It was obvious that the emperor valued him.Being able to leave an impression in the eyes of the emperor, not to mention being successful, at least has a bright future.

Compared with the emperor, King Zhao's gaze was much softer.He didn't expect Jiang Chengxiao to make much credit for this expedition. He just hoped that he would be familiar with the battlefield and the future work. He didn't think what he did was a big step ahead.

The emperor slowly stepped up to the high platform, faced the three armies and the people of Chang'an, and said in a vibrating voice: "I entrust the wish of billions of people, and send the three armies to destroy the barbarians, and finally rule the world. This time, I have the mercy of heaven and the protection of my ancestors. Taimiao, to tell the ancestors of the country, the ancestors of the past dynasties!"

"Your Majesty, ten thousand years! Great Jin ten thousand years!"

Ministers of civil and military affairs, soldiers of the three armed forces, and tens of thousands of Chang'an people saluted one after another.

The emperor drove in the front, followed by the soldiers of the three armies, and a group of ministers of civil and military affairs accompanied the emperor on foot.First pass through the Xuande Gate, pass through the Great Sacrificial Altar, and finally enter the Taimiao group halls.

Jiang Chengxiao came to the Taimiao once during the coronation ceremony, but he was not a direct descendant of the royal family. Although he was favored by the emperor and could be crowned in front of the ancestors of the Taimiao, he had never entered the palace.

"It's my first time here." Li Yaoshi secretly glanced at the ministers in front of him who were following the emperor into the palace to offer prisoners and said quietly to Jiang Chengxiao.

Jiang Chengxiao nodded numbly. Their military ranks were not high, so they were not qualified to enter the palace and could only wait outside the palace.However, he didn't intend to go in either. Although what was offered this time was not a real person, but only two heads, but there would be a lot of troublesome etiquette.

Then again, looking at the temples of the Taimiao, he couldn't help but think of two words: waste.

The Jin family has only two emperors so far, and the ancestors who enjoy sacrifices in the Taimiao are only the first emperors. Is it necessary to build so many palaces? Although he knows that the first emperors made three generations of ancestors emperors, but how long ago did that happen? .

This is really how the living squeeze their heads to be the emperor, and the dead take advantage of it.

In the Taimiao, the emperor took the heads of Yichaxie and Chuluo out of the box with his own hands, and placed them on the table respectfully. Looking at the late emperor's god, the emperor murmured silently in his heart.

The important minister knelt on the ground, bowed his head and prayed silently.

The rich sandalwood wafted in the hall, and many ministers were a little unbearable, but when they thought of this serious occasion, they had to bear it if they couldn't bear it.

Zhao Wang looked as usual, but sighed inexplicably.He remembered the scene of conquering the world when he was with the first emperor. Although the Turkic troubles have not been completely eradicated now, as long as the Jin Dynasty works hard, the frontier troubles will be safe.

Now that the foreign troubles have been eliminated, I am afraid that the next step will be
Thinking of this, Zhao Wang couldn't help but feel tired, this opponent is much more difficult to deal with than Turkic.

Two hours later, the offering of prisoners in the Taimiao was completed, and the emperor held a grand court ceremony in the Guangming Hall.In this great dynasty, the important ministers basically understood that they were rewarding meritorious deeds.

The first contribution was naturally Yang Taisu, who first defeated the Western Turks before Changsun Sheng, and then encircled the Eastern Turks together with Changsun Sheng and took the head of Chuluo.And because Yang Taisu himself is one of the two ministers, the Duke of Yue is basically an extremely human minister, and he is in a state of no seal.

The king of Qi came out and said: "Report to the emperor, the ministers think that this time Yang Xiang first annihilated the Western Turks, then captured the Dali City, and finally encircled the Eastern Turks with General Changsun. He has made great achievements. He should be named the Duke of Chu."

Hearing this, the prince's face changed slightly, and then he hid it well.He looked at Gao Xun with some doubts, and Gao Xun also looked at him, shaking his head gently, signaling him not to act rashly.

Yang Taisu's deeply buried cheeks twitched slightly, he didn't remember that he had offended the King of Qi, this person is really vicious.

"Your Majesty." Yang Taisu quickly collected his mood, came out and cupped his hands and said, "I have something to say."

The emperor smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, please tell me."

Yang Taisu said: "This time the Western Turks can be wiped out in such a short period of time. The main contribution lies not with the ministers but with the two generals who stood firm at Loufan Pass. If they hadn't defended desperately, the Western Turks would have already entered Taiyuan In the county, I am afraid that the two armies are still anxious, and the old minister thinks that the first contribution this time should not be due to the minister."

King Qi frowned immediately when he heard this, this Yang Taisu really doesn't know how to flatter him, but this king is helping him to a higher level, how could he still refuse.

"Are those two generals guarding Loufan Pass?" the emperor asked lightly.

Yang Taisu immediately said: "The main general is Jiang Chengxiao, the general of hussars, and the assistant general of chariots, Zhao Jiao."

Zhao Wang frowned and said nothing.

"Where are the two generals?" The emperor's voice came from above.

The ministers subconsciously glanced back, and saw two young generals walking slowly from the rear to the front, bowing to the emperor: "Join Your Majesty, Your Majesty will last forever."

The emperor looked at Jiang Chengxiao and said with a smile: "Qingque, Yang Xiangyan, you are the first to do this time, what do you think?"

Some ministers who knew Jiang Chengxiao's identity were not surprised at the emperor's attitude, after all, this son was born in the royal family.Some courtiers who did not know his identity were a little surprised that the emperor was so kind to an unknown young general.

Out of the corner of Jiang Chengxiao's eyes, he happened to catch King Zhao's eyes. The two only looked at each other for a short time, and no one noticed.Jiang Chengxiao replied: "I report to Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate for a lowly position."

Zhao Wang breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Taisu's complexion changed slightly, and he secretly groaned in his heart.

"Tell me, what's wrong with it." The emperor asked with interest.

Zhao Jiao was a little excited at first, but he couldn't help being discouraged when he heard Jiang Chengxiao's words, but he was only an assistant general, and besides, it was Jiang Chengxiao who His Majesty asked, so he could only feel sorry.What is this Jiang Hussar thinking? I don't want such a splash of credit.

Arranging the words in his mind, Jiang Chengxiao replied: "The humble official dare not hide your Majesty. At that time, the humble official only had the confidence to stick to the Loufan Pass for three days and give the people of Taiyuan County three days to move. If Yang Shuai hadn't abandoned the army and led [-] The cavalry marched in the starry night to support Lou Fanguan, and the humble staff had already died for the country. This is one of them."

"Secondly, Yang Shuai strategized and dispatched all the troops. Only in this way can the Turkic people be defeated. The humble job is just a small matter of escorting food and grass. The two things add up to a trivial achievement. How dare you say the first contribution? .”

After the words fell, King Qi saw that Jiang Chengxiao was very pleasing to the eye, and said with a smile: "Father, what Qing Que said is good, and the first credit should go to Prime Minister Yang."

The emperor nodded slightly, and glanced at Jiang Chengxiao appreciatively.

Thank you, Your Highness Qi Wang, you are a good man.

Jiang Chengxiao silently praised King Qi in his heart.

King Qi, when did this old man offend you, and you actually want to drive this old man to a dead end?

Yang Taisu cursed secretly in his heart, but said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, even if this feat is not the work of the two generals, it should be the work of General Changsun and His Royal Highness Zhao Wang. If it wasn't for the two of them who had predicted the Turkic enemy beforehand, what would happen here?" How could Fanchen attack Bingzhou without the Western Turks not being prepared?"

Zhao Wangdao: "Your Majesty, the subject should do his part to share the country's worries, and this is nothing of credit."

Changsun Sheng walked out of the queue, bowed to the emperor, and said: "This merit cannot be attributed to the minister. I have concealed something from your majesty. Please forgive me."

Yang Taisu: "."

This skill is a hot potato for him, why is it also hot in the eyes of others?
Not only Yang Taisu is strange, Qi Wang is even more strange than him, how come some people despise the first merit and despise the reward.Their heads were broken in a war?
Jiang Chengxiao, like other old foxes in the Guangming Palace, counted ants with his head down.Although the floor in the Guangming Temple was clean enough to slip, it did not prevent him from imagining that the ground was covered with ants.

Everyone's desire to survive is so strong.Jiang Chengxiao smiled silently in his heart.

The emperor was silent for a while, then put his gaze on Changsun Sheng, and said, "What did General Changsun hide from me?"
