Chapter 224: Offering Prisoners
Su Yao didn't even pay as much attention to Zhang Rang as the women around him.

Approaching the bright hall, Su Yao's eyes glanced at the emperor and various high-ranking officials who had been waiting for a long time, but instead fell to the crowd watching the ceremony on the side.

There were the family members specially approved by Emperor Su Yaode to be invited to attend the ceremony.

Looking at them, Su Yao's usually cold face showed a rare tenderness.

Beside the Ming Hall, Su Yao's family members who were invited to watch the ceremony gathered together.

Hong'er and Xiaochun were supporting Princess Yun together, waving their hands excitedly, with tears in their eyes.

She had known for a long time that her benefactor would achieve great success and achieve great achievements through the ages.

However, I never expected it to be so soon.

And he can actually participate in it and share the honor with his benefactor.

When she thought about this, tears filled her eyes.

However, who would have known that Huang Liang's dream would be shattered in the blink of an eye and he would become a prisoner of this rank.

I saw her charming eyes, and she responded to Su Yao's gaze with her fiery eyes.

The person at the highest point is the Ninth Five Supreme Being who is in his prime but has a vain expression.

What man can't be moved by fame and fortune?

This scene moved everyone present. No matter how much you hate Su Yao, a person who has risen as high as a rocket, you have to admit that he does have two skills on the battlefield.

He was really surprised when he saw Su Yao for the first time. This beautiful young man with silver armor and red robes and a face as beautiful as a jade, could not compete with the iron-blooded man who was victorious in every battle and killed like hemp in Tangbao. The generals are linked together.

The three of them were naked to the waist, covered with sheepskins, holding sacrificial vessels, and their faces were haggard and frightened.

He saw Su Yao and Wang Rou walking along the stairs step by step, holding three rough ropes. The people being held by the rope were none other than Xubuye, the former Shanyu of the Xiongnu, Prince Xubutan, and King Xiutu, who was the first to initiate the rebellion.

However, this shock only lasted for a moment, and then he was replaced by joy and excitement, and a trace of blood appeared on his pale face.

Behind the three of them, there was the slightly embarrassed beautiful sister Hu Ji. They held hands and waved nervously.

Under the sunlight, Liu Hong's narrowed eyes showed a fleeting shock.

Su Yao looked up. On the high steps, hundreds of officials stood neatly beside the road. Their eyes were all focused on him. They were either shocked, jealous, envious, resentful, etc. Their eyes were complex and varied. .

Leaning slightly, Xiaochun glanced back again. After seeing Su Yao's half-smiling expression, he couldn't help but stamp his feet and glared back fiercely, as if he wanted to scrape off a piece of Su Yao's flesh.

Riding on a horse and walking through the crowd watching the ceremony, Su Yao, guided by Zhang Rang, who was holding the reins of the horse, slowly passed through the lively crowd, came to the high platform of the Mingtang, and calmly turned over and dismounted.

In the past, they all boasted that they were the overlords of the grasslands and wanted to establish their own merits in this troubled world where the great man was about to decline.

And Liu Hong was even more excited.

Princess Yun, who was next to Hong'er, touched her belly that had not yet seen a bulge shyly, feeling extremely happy.

Only Xiaochun was completely different from the two girls. He just glanced at Su Yao and turned away with a cold face.

Not only did she get her wish to marry this great hero, but she was also loved and valued so much that he even knew about the pregnancy before her mother, which surprised and delighted Princess Yun.

As a wealthy emperor, Liu Hong's desire was stronger than anyone else's.

Faced with depleted finances, he could personally set up markets, sell officials and win titles, and make money all over the world.

Faced with the shortage of heirs, he could also recruit a large harem, control nine maidens, and even let the maids wear crotchless pants so that he could visit him at any time. However, military merit alone was his eternal pain.

Since he ascended the throne, either Liangzhou will lose its territory today, or Youji will rebel tomorrow.

The prairie fire has even burned into the land of Sizhou and Gyeonggi, and it has not subsided yet.

The endless rebellion made him very anxious.

But now, Liu Hong has been emperor for twenty years and finally found an opportunity to report his military exploits to his ancestors!
"Your Majesty, my minister Su Yao has honorably fulfilled his mission and captured the Xiongnu thieves leaders Xubuye, Xubutan and King Xiutu. I specially offer the prisoners to Your Majesty."

Su Yao stopped in front of the emperor and bowed in a dignified manner.

Liu Hong was overjoyed when he heard this. He took a step forward, put his hands on Su Yao's shoulders and said loudly: "The Marquis of Guannei is really the pillar of the country! Today's battle is a success, I will definitely reward him heavily!"

As the emperor finished speaking, there was a burst of warm cheers from the field.

No, instead there was a sound of inhalation!

The officials looked at each other in confusion. What did His Majesty just say?

Why are there so many rewards?
Have you forgotten that at the last meeting, who overcame all the opposition and not only raised the reward, but also dispatched it first in a hurry? !
But now that these golden words have been spoken, and it is the climax of the ceremony, even the upright Lu Zhi cannot persuade the emperor at this moment, what are you saying, Your Majesty, you have already rewarded it, and you can no longer reward it. Find it for everyone. Not happy.

As a result, as the emperor read out his denunciation of the rebellion, and the pseudo-chanyu and others knelt down and cried bitterly, everyone in the arena pretended to have forgotten what had just happened, and quickly burst into thunderous cheers.
The memorial ceremony in the Mingtang was completed. Following the emperor's order, these prisoners of war were taken away by the Tingwei. They were beheaded and confiscated, and they were dealt with separately and ignored.

After the prisoner presentation ceremony, what followed was a tribute ceremony led by Princess Yun of the Xiongnu on behalf of all the vassal states and tribal forces.

Representatives came to the table to offer gifts.

This time, Liu Hong could no longer hold back the smile on his face. He happily asked the young man to record his smiles one by one, and then gave each of them a reward.

After a complicated process, the sun has gradually faded into dusk.

Liu Hong's face, which was only supported by his excitement, became paler, but he still kept his energy and announced that he would hold a celebration banquet on a certain day to commend Su Yao and all the soldiers for their military exploits. He also ordered rewards to the three armies to show the emperor's great kindness, etc., and finally finally It brought a successful conclusion to this ceremony.

Finally, before leaving, the emperor smiled and patted Su Yao on the shoulder in front of everyone in the hall:

"The Marquis of Guannei has worked hard and achieved great results. It has been a hard journey all the way to the imperial capital. Let's take a rest first and reunite with his family. Remember to go to court on time tomorrow."

After Su Yao said oh, he saw that the emperor had been helped into the carriage by Jian Shuo.

When he turned around, he saw both civil and military officials behind him looking at him in surprise.

Su Yao naturally ignored it, jumped on his horse, and galloped all the way to find his subordinates and women amid the exclamations of the officials.

Then after this large-scale triumphal ceremony, Su Yao, who was about to skip a day with his woman for a while, discovered a very outrageous question.

Where do I live? !
This is not a joke.

I don’t know whether it’s because there are so many people or because he skipped the journey so fast. In short, now, when dusk falls and the bustling crowd has dispersed.

Su Yao stood in front of the post house and found that he had no place to sleep? !
At this time, the troops brought by Su Yao had been placed in the military camp in the north of the city, while Zhang Liao and other senior military attachés and Wang Ling and others went to the posthouse outside the city.

Originally, Su Yao followed everyone to the official posthouse outside the city, but when he got there, he found that the postman here did not accept him!

"How can we, a small family like ours, receive a high-ranking official worth two thousand dan?"

Under the light of the torch in the post house, the clerk asked with a smile on his face:
"Please don't embarrass us. Marquis Guannei, why don't you go look elsewhere?"
