Traitor Concubine Growth Manual

Chapter 52

The sensational war in Xijiang ended with Zhuo Ding'an commanding the last battle in Xijiang to defeat the enemy. When the opponent's general was fighting to the death, Zhuo Ding'an shot him with an arrow with a black iron longbow, and fell to the ground on the spot. The horse died.

The army in Xijiang lost its general and completely lost its wits, and was soon defeated.

The next day, the northern and southern factions still in the civil war in western Xinjiang reached a consensus, bowed their heads to the Xuan Dynasty, and offered three cities as tributes to show their sincerity and request to stop the war.

After discussing with the Minister of Military Aircraft, the prince agreed to Xijiang's request, and at the same time issued an edict ordering the army to return to Beijing immediately, and reward them for meritorious deeds after arriving at the palace.

The victory of the battle made the whole country of the Xuan Dynasty rejoice. From the border of the western border to the capital, the army returning to the dynasty was welcomed by the people along the way. The scene was quite spectacular.

It took the army ten days to rush back to the capital from the west without stopping.

On the day they arrived in the capital, the common people ran out of their homes one after another and gathered around the roadside to welcome this victorious army, just to see the mighty and heroic appearance of our soldiers.

Originally the eldest princess had nothing to do, she was sitting on the most prestigious Changle building drinking tea, but unexpectedly it became more and more lively below, even with the windows closed, the noise of the crowd outside could not be stopped.

Since she went to Xijiang as her son-in-law, she no longer saw that annoying face in the mansion, and she lived a leisurely life, but it was also a bit boring.

Knowing that a new batch of scented tea from the south of the Yangtze River has been brought into the Changle Building, she brought Qingyang to sit here early in the morning, unexpectedly it was getting louder and louder outside, and the truth did not make people feel at ease even for a moment.

Qingyang couldn't bear her temper long ago, she didn't think there was anything delicious about this kind of bitter scented tea, and she didn't understand the meaning of sitting here all morning like this, but she didn't dare to tell her mother.

Ever since she learned about the war in Western Xinjiang, the eldest princess has been in a state of restlessness for nearly two months.

Sometimes he would be alone by the window in a daze, and sometimes he would lie on the bed alone until dawn. Qingyang thought she was sleeping before, but once when he went to wake her up, he accidentally saw her staring blankly with her eyes open. Looking at the bed cover, I realized that she was actually awake the whole time.

Sometimes Qingyang came to her for something, but she was obviously behind her. No matter how Bisheng talked to her, she would not respond as if she had lost her soul. After a while, she came back to her senses.

Once when Qing Yang accidentally broke a jade bracelet, the eldest princess even lost her temper with her, and the person who always doted on her seemed to have changed, with a terribly cold expression.

Therefore, although Qingyang was impatient, he still sat here drinking tea with her, without making a fuss.

It's just that the noise outside is getting louder and louder, Qingyang finally couldn't hold it back, walked to the window, opened it, and poked his probe outside.

Oh, what a big movement!
Qingyang couldn't help being speechless, and turned around and shouted to the eldest princess, "Mother, come and have a look! There are so many people down here, the street is almost blocked!"

The streets in the capital city were wide enough to accommodate ten carriages driving side by side, but now they are completely blocked, no wonder Qingyang is also surprised.

The eldest princess put down the tea in her hand, walked to the window and looked out, and was startled when she saw the scene below, "What's going on?"

I saw that both sides of the street were full of people, half of the road that could have accommodated ten carriages was taken up by the crowd, and everyone stretched their necks and looked towards the city gate, waiting emotionally for something.

The mother and daughter also looked over, wondering what was going to happen today, and it was so lively.

After a while, the crowd became agitated, starting from the people closest to the city gate, whoever yelled, "Here we come! We come!"

Immediately, everyone was boiling, and more and more people began to shout these two words, pushing and stretching their necks towards the city gate, for fear that they would not see it.

"Who's here?" Qing Yang also stuck his head out, impatient to see what happened.

This is the box on the third floor of the Changle Building. Qingyang stretched her body like this, the eldest princess was afraid that she would fall, so she quickly reached out to grab her arm, "Come back quickly! Don't do such a dangerous thing!"

Qingyang didn't follow him, and while he was shouting, he still poked his head outside, curious.

And at this moment, the large group of people outside the city gate finally came in, and a black army in battle robes marched into the city in a uniform manner under the leadership of four majestic sweat horses.

There were also four generals in armor sitting on the four horses. Their golden battle suits were polished and shiny, shining brightly in the sun, looking solemn and solemn.

The eldest princess's complexion turned pale suddenly, and she let go of Qingyang's hand, staring blankly at the approaching army, losing her last bit of indifference.

Qingyang also saw the army clearly, and suddenly realized, "It turns out that it is the army that came back from Xijiang... Doesn't that mean that my father also came back?"

She turned around to ask the Eldest Princess with a smile on her face. Unexpectedly, she saw the Eldest Princess's pale face and distraught expression. Qingyang was startled, the smile froze on his face, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to support her, "Mother ,what happened to you?"

The eldest princess didn't speak, she just stared at the oncoming army, until those people appeared more and more clearly in her sight, until...until she saw clearly the majestic and majestic person who took the lead.

The crowd was jubilant, and everyone shouted "General Dingyuan" in unison, because the owner of this name seemed to be a legend of the Xuan Dynasty. national territory and dignity.

This time, General Dingyuan was also ordered to return to Beijing to accept the crown prince's award and praise from civil and military officials.

Getting closer, getting closer.

The eldest princess seemed to see clearly that man's white and elegant jade crown as always, his skin tanned by the sun and rain at the border, and his brave fighting against enemies, as well as his resolute and calm face...then A face that has never faded for her.

Even counting, they have not seen each other for 15 years.

The person is still the same person, with unrestrained and unrestrained eyebrows, not like a military officer, but more like a handsome young man who is full of poems and books.

But his eyes are no longer as gentle and clear as they used to be. The military life of guarding the border all year round has sharpened the temperament and character of the handsome young man of the past. He is surrounded by a faint chilling aura, although the shining armor has long since been washed away. The blood on the battlefield, but the determination and calmness revealed in his eyes are what Zhuo Dingan lacked in the past.

The eldest princess bit her lower lip tightly, and felt that her eyes were a little blurry, as if the sun was too glaring today, which made her a little unable to open her eyes, and only felt pain in her eyes.

that person.

She never thought that one day, they would meet again.

The army had already reached the downstairs of Changle, and the cheers and love of the people boiled the whole capital. This kind of joy seemed to have soared to the sky, and even the sunlight was infected.

The eldest princess watched helplessly as the man came from afar and then passed by downstairs, and finally there was only a figure from his back that was gradually going away.

Just like the role this person played in her life, she came and went away.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't realize that in this narrow window, there was a woman staring at him obsessively, her heart was tormented and her eyes were full of tears.

Qingyang finally couldn't help panicking, helped her to sit at the table, and asked anxiously, "Mother, is there something wrong with you? But if it's not, let's go back to the house and let the doctor take a look. I've been sitting here for a long time."

The eldest princess couldn't hear her daughter's voice anymore, she just felt that all the past was rushing into her heart, and she couldn't bear it, so she could only lie helplessly on the table, and suddenly buried her head and burst into tears.

Her girl is like a dream.

Her wishful husband.

Her youth is like a spring day passing by, blooming for a short time, and then withering rapidly, leaving only wars and iron horses, mountains and rivers broken.

In the Huayan Hall, the prince sat on it in a yellow robe, solemnly waiting for the triumphant return of Zhuo Ding'an and others, all civil and military officials lined up on both sides, bowed their heads and waited with the prince.

There was a complete silence in the hall, and finally the communication sounds from outside came one after another.

"General Huaiyuan arrived—"

"Prince Gong is here—"

"I shot my lord to—" (Xiao Che)

"My son-in-law is here—"

Led by Zhuo Ding'an, the four of them wore battle robes and stepped into the hall imposingly, then knelt down on one knee and said in a loud voice, "My minister sees His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Gu Qi got up to greet him, and while helping Zhuo Ding'an, he said softly, "General Zhuo, please get up quickly, there is no need for too much trouble."

Because Zhuo Ding'an was the chief general, Gu Qi only supported him, and the other three just mentioned a word, and stood up by themselves.

Gu Qi looked at all the civil and military officials, and said loudly, "The battle in Xijiang took nearly two months. Although the soldiers and horses of the imperial court were damaged, compared with the collapse of the army and the great loss of vitality in Xijiang, it has far exceeded the battle." I expected it. General Zhuo personally led the troops into the battle from the beginning to the end, and finally wiped out the enemy leader himself, and won the final victory for our dynasty with the least casualties. He is really a great hero of the Xuan Dynasty! Promote General Zhuo to a first-rank general, retain the title of Huaiyuan, and confer the title of Mrs. Zhuo as Mrs. Wei."

His gaze skipped over the other three, and he said calmly, "Prince Gong served as the deputy general, guarding the city with all his heart, and took over the burden of Duke Ding in time to lead the overall situation. From now on, Jiangxi will be designated as a fief and bestowed with fertile land. Hundred acres."

"Xiao Pushe served as the commander of the army in Huai City. He supplied supplies in the rear and took care of General Zhuo. He also made great achievements. He was promoted to be a captain and will lead the guards in the palace from now on."

"The son-in-law Qin Shu is in charge of the overall planning of the army in Huaicheng, assisting Prince Gong to stabilize the morale of the army, and ensuring that everything in Huaicheng goes smoothly. From now on, the son-in-law is allowed to enter the Sitian Supervisor and take up the post of young supervisor, with a special gift to discuss the political power."

In the end, Gu Qi turned his attention to Qin Yuanshan, "Qin Shaofu is in the capital, responsible for and coordinating all the secret documents and overall arrangements in the western Xinjiang, and his contribution is indispensable. From now on, he will be promoted to Yushi doctor and given a silver seal Qingshou, from now on, will be responsible for accepting the affairs of hundreds of officials, administering the country's criminal constitution, laws and regulations, and ordering the government."

The five recipients knelt down to receive the reward, shouting a thousand years for the prince.

Several power ministers didn't say a word, their expressions were gloomy, but they were powerless.

Zhao Wu has returned to Beijing with the army, and now he is still recuperating in bed. What can these courtiers who have not even gone to Xijiang object to?
The main heroes were all rewarded for their meritorious deeds, and Gu Qi made a unified arrangement for all the soldiers. All the civil and military officials, together with the four meritorious officials who were rewarded, knelt down and thanked each other.

The hall was full of solemnity.

After the morning breakup, Gu Qi was finally the only one left in the Huayan Palace.

He sat on the dragon chair with an unfathomable expression, his eyes subtly watching the empty Hall of Prestige and Instruments.

From today, the new dignitaries who can represent the prince are finally born here.

From now on, he will never be alone in this court to fight against those powerful officials who rely on the old to sell the old.

It's just that in this emerging force, how many people are completely surrendered to him?
