Chapter 92
In the evening, the celebration party officially began.In addition to the princes and soldiers, there were also some Mongolian tribal leaders.

In the Battle of Junggar, all Mongolian tribes contributed, among which the Horqin Tribe and the Borzigit Tribe were the most prominent.

When the time came, Kangxi led the princes to the stage.

When Kangxi stood above him, everyone present began to salute. "Greetings to the Emperor, may the Emperor be blessed."

"Everyone is exempt from courtesy and is on an equal footing."

Kangxi raised his wine glass and said, "Today's celebration banquet, I would like to toast you all. The Junggar rebellion can be put down, thanks to all of you present."

Everyone raised their glasses in response, "The rebellion has been decided. May your Majesty be blessed with great blessings. Long live my Emperor."

Kangxi laughed after hearing this and drained his drink in one gulp.

The wine had been drunk and everyone was seated.Kangxi turned his head and glanced at Liang Jiugong beside him. Liang Jiugong immediately understood what the emperor meant.

Liang Jiugong took a few steps earlier and took out the imperial edict from his sleeve. "The Emperor has a decree."

Everyone stood up and half-knelt on the ground.

"This time the war was brought to an end, thanks to all the officers and soldiers..." Liang Jiugong read a lot of words of appreciation at the beginning, which probably meant that everyone who had been on the battlefield would be rewarded.But the final point is that Yixiang was named the commander of the Eight Banners Guards, and Wuge was named the commander.

After the will is conveyed, some people are happy and some are sad.Yi Xiang was still unfazed by honor and disgrace, but Wuge's expression was not good-looking.Fei Yanggu knew that the emperor did not value Wuge, and he felt somewhat lost and disappointed.But on this occasion, no one could dissuade the emperor, so Feiyanggu and Wuge had to quietly return to their seats and sit down.

Zhui Hong saw that Fei Yanggu and his son had ugly expressions on their faces, and the corners of their mouths raised but they quickly covered it up.Yixiang was appointed the commander of the Eight Banners Guards by the emperor, which was both a good thing and a bad thing, but in general, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.

As soon as Yi Xiang returned to his seat, people around him began to toast him, saying congratulations.

Compared to the bustle on Yixiang's side, Fei Yanggu and Wuge's side seemed deserted.

"I'm just a guard commander, what's there to be proud of?" Wuge kept picking up the wine glass and drinking, looking at Yi Xiang with eyes filled with jealousy and hatred.

Kangxi sat above him, chatting happily with the leader of the Mongolian tribe on his left.In this battle, Mongolia's Horqin and Borzigit tribes contributed the most, and Kangxi would definitely reward them well.

Manchuria and Mongolia have always had a close relationship, and there have been marriages between the two clans since Taizu.This time the two major tribes cooperated with Kangxi to win the battle, and the tribe's future will surely reach a higher level in the future.

After more than an hour, the celebration banquet ended and everyone returned to camp.

When the Mongolian tribe leader left, everyone had a smile on their face.The reason why they are happy is nothing more than the marriage between the two tribes. Now there are many women of the right age in the tribe. If they can marry the Eight Banners disciples, it will be of long-term benefit to the tribe.

In the tent, Zhuo Hong and Yi Xiang were talking alone.

"The emperor has appointed you as the Commander-in-Chief of the Eight Banners Guards because he values ​​you and the Gualjia family, but this is not necessarily a good thing." Zhui Hong said seriously.

Yi Xiang nodded, "I understand Ama, the emperor is doing this just to flatter me and make the Gualjia family always loyal to the emperor, but in this way, Fei Yanggu and Wuge..."

"Who do they think the Ulanara clan is? That Wuge dares to scheme against my son. Do you really think that my Guarjia family has no one? You don't have to be afraid. Amma will make the decision for you!" It's okay if I don't mention Wuge. After reaching the fifth square, Zhuo Hong immediately became angry.

Yi Xiang held Ama's arm and persuaded: "Ama, don't be angry. My son will remember everything Wuge did and will definitely pay them back tenfold in the future." After hearing Yi Xiang's words, Zhuo Hong felt angry in his heart. After that, it dropped a lot, and then he explained some things to Yi Xiang about the commander of the guard army.

Three days later, Kangxi led the army back to the court.After more than three months of fighting, it finally ended successfully.

On the way back, Wuge and Yixiang were still riding ahead to open the way.

"I would like to congratulate Xianfeng. His Majesty has decreed that Xianfeng be appointed as the commander of the Eight Banners Guards. He has a bright future." Wuge said to Yi Xiang next to him in a sinister tone.

Yi Xiang kept looking straight ahead, still expressionless in response to Wuge's words. "I don't dare to accept it. This vanguard was able to be enthroned by the emperor as the commander of the guard army, thanks to the vanguard of the Ulanara clan. However, the official position of the vanguard of the Ulanara clan is not low, and the official position of commander has important responsibilities."

"You!" Wuge was about to get angry, but he realized that the soldiers were following behind him. Once he caused a dispute and delayed the entire army's entry into the city, there was no need to think about the position of commander.

Yi Xiang didn't need to look to know how exciting Wuge's expression was at this moment. The corners of his mouth raised involuntarily, but disappeared after a while.

Everyone in the capital has learned that the emperor and the soldiers are going to return to the court.

Chengqian Palace.

The imperial concubine looked at the letter in her hand with a smile on her face.

At this time, Ms. Cui brought tea. "My dear, here comes the tea."

"I know." The imperial concubine closed the letter, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.

"Mother, I heard that your Majesty and the others will arrive in the capital soon. The soldiers have won the battle." Cui said with a smile.

The corners of the imperial concubine's lips raised, and she held the teacup and said, "Your Majesty, they are about to return to Beijing. I have also received the wishes of Your Majesty and Zhen'er. This time the Junggar rebellion happened, Your Majesty came to lead all the soldiers to win the battle."

"In that case, it's a happy event."

The imperial concubine nodded, "It is indeed a happy event. Yi Xiang has the greatest credit this time. The emperor personally appointed him as the commander of the Eight Banners Guards. Zhen'er has been staying in the rear and responsible for food and grass. Although he has no credit, fortunately no accident happened. "

Ms. Cui stepped forward to pour tea for the imperial concubine, "The slave congratulates the imperial concubine. The fourth master has returned safely, and the second master, Yixiang, has also been promoted to an official position."

"I know Yi Xiang's abilities, but the position of commander of the Eight Banners Guards surprised me a little."

Miss Cui was confused and asked: "Why are you surprised? Isn't it a good thing that the second young master can serve as the commander of the army?"

"It's a good thing, but I'm afraid that something happened for a reason. The emperor asked Yi Xiang to stand in a high position. Something must have happened." The imperial concubine turned her fingers on the tea cup and fell into deep thought for a while.

Ms. Cui still didn't understand why the empress said that. The second young master was promoted because of his military service. Is there anything strange about this?
The imperial concubine put down her tea cup after thinking deeply, "When the Emperor and others return to Beijing, you should immediately go and investigate everything about Yi Xiang on the battlefield, as well as the people around him."

Miss Cui asked in a low voice: "Yes, but does the empress suspect something?"

The imperial concubine shook her head. She couldn't say she was suspicious, but she just felt that something was a little unusual.
