Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 542 Return

By the time the reporter rushed to Beijing, Zhao Hao's troops had already reached the opposite side of the Yellow River. Although it was still early at that time, Zhao Hao did not cross the river, but camped along the Yellow River, waiting for the emperor's call.

In the early morning of the next day, the four gates of the capital opened wide. The emperor took the virtuous king Kang Wang and all the civil and military officials out of the city ten miles from the north gate to welcome Zhao Hao in person.

That was the first time that Xie Jue appeared as a virtuous king, and it was also the first time that civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty saw this virtuous king who had been rumored for many days.

At that time, Xie Jue said that he was wearing a golden and red prince's formal attire, wearing a prince's crown on his head, and rode a tall horse beside the emperor's dragon chariot. He was tall and straight, with profound facial features, and clear and deep eyes, not to mention so beautiful that a man's heart would beat His face, with its awe-inspiring posture, was compared to all the armed guards next to him.

Not to mention the delicate and soft Kang Wang on the other side of the dragon chariot.

The eyes around him became extremely complicated.

This ten-mile journey was full of different thoughts. When they arrived at the welcoming pavilion ten miles away, everyone's hearts were free of distracting thoughts, and they were shocked by the oncoming piece of white.

At that time, the sun had already risen, and the autumn sun was shining brightly, and the red maple beside the road began to show its bright red. Together with the chrysanthemums blooming along the road, the colors were as bright as knocking over the palette.

And amidst the vibrant colors, a piece of snow-white came from the official road in such a silent manner.

It was a cavalry team of two thousand dressed in linen and filial piety, even the horses under the seats were covered with white cloth, and the battle flags were all white banners.

At first, a person was wearing silver soft armor, his long hair was tied up with a white scarf, and a two-foot-wide white cloth was tied on his forehead.

His face was thin and pale, but the pair of eyes under the white cloth were as sharp as goshawks, and when he raised his eyes, his murderous aura was as cold as ice, making people shudder.

Rong Guogong, who rushed forward to greet the emperor, didn't feel that his spine was chilled by his gaze, and subconsciously reined in the reins.

Zhao Hao also reined in at the right time, and as he stopped, the cavalry team behind him stopped at the same time, then followed Zhao Hao to get off the horse, and then knelt down on one knee in unison, facing the direction of the emperor Hooray three times.

Duke Rong was stunned for a moment and slowed down his reaction. Fortunately, Rong Shizi was right behind him, and reached out his hand to take his horse out of the way, so that there was no one else between Zhao Hao and the emperor.

Hearing the angrily shouting in front of him, Rong Guogong's face turned slightly pale.

Not to mention the mentality of the civil and military officials next to him, the emperor's eyes were red in an instant, and he helped Xie Jue, who had already dismounted and stood aside, to get off the dragon chariot, and rushed towards Zhao Hao with some stumbling He also said: "Zhao Qing, get up, get up!"

Zhao Hao didn't move. He didn't get up until the emperor came to help him, and saluted the emperor again: "Your Majesty, it's a good luck for Zhao Hao not to disgrace his life. The cavalry forced back more than a hundred li on the grassland."

"That's it!" The emperor was overjoyed, patted Zhao Hao's shoulder and said repeatedly: "Okay!" After shouting a few times, he said: "By the way, Aye City has also been taken?"

Earlier, Rong Shizi said above the court that Zhao Hao wiped out [-] cavalry from Beirong and took back Aye City, but this was only what Rong Shizi said after all, and the real battle report did not come back. I don't know if other things are more important, or if they are deliberately ignored, but no one mentions this matter anymore.

At this moment, the emperor suddenly said this, and everyone around fell silent.

Zhao Hao nodded and said: "Yes, I set up an ambush in Wucheng, annihilated one hundred thousand cavalry from Beirong, and captured Aye City. Your Majesty, the territory of our Song Kingdom has expanded another hundred miles to the north."

"That's it!" The emperor was so happy that he didn't know how to express his feelings, he just patted Zhao Hao's shoulder repeatedly.

"Such a great achievement, I don't know why General Zhao has not reported it?" Xie Jue, who was standing behind the emperor, said suddenly.

Zhao Hao turned his head slightly, turned his gaze around Xie Jue coolly, and looked at the emperor suspiciously: "This one?"

"Ah, this, this is the virtuous king! He is the son of my brother's crown prince. He has been living among the people because of Cai Bing and others' framing in his early years, but now he has finally returned to the clan." The emperor laughed twice, and then said to Xie Jue : "This is Zhao Hao, my Great Song Martial God!"

Before the emperor's voice fell, Zhao Hao knelt down in front of the emperor again with a plop.

As soon as he knelt, the 2000 people behind him also knelt down in unison, and before Zhao Hao could say anything, they all shouted in unison: "I beg the emperor to avenge us!"

The emperor was shocked on the spot with a cry, with a look of panic on his face.

Well, it's not easy to talk about military exploits, why did you avenge your grievances again?

"Bold Zhao Hao! Your majesty has come here to welcome you after seeing your outstanding military exploits. What is the purpose of this decoration? You actually frightened the emperor. You want to rebel!" With Han Xiang's eyes, the Minister of the Ministry of War quickly walked away. Stepping forward, he shouted sharply, trying to make a gesture to stand in front of the emperor.

It's a pity that Zhao Hao was kneeling in front of the emperor, and Xie Jue was standing next to him, so he couldn't squeeze in at all.

"Your Majesty!" Zhao Hao raised his head slightly to look at the Emperor, and said with a sad expression on his face, "I haven't sent back the battle report. It's really because someone in the court secretly communicated with Beirong, and arranged and lacked the strength of our frontier army." Bei Rong was notified of the shortage of food and clothing, and the shortage of troops. Moreover, the man also contacted Bei Rong, deliberately lured his father into a trap, and his father fought against Bei Rong's [-] ambush soldiers with a force of thousands of people. However, our spies in the court colluded with the Beirong people and sent heavy troops to besiege the border town. Your Majesty, it is not because the minister deliberately concealed the military report, but if the minister sends back the military report, then the Beirong will know everything about our army. At that time, it will not be the loss of the border town, but the day of our Great Song's perishing!"

"You... what did you say?" The emperor was startled and stuttered.

"Your Majesty!" Zhao Hao knocked his head on the ground, and said in a choked voice, "My imperial spies colluded with Bei Rong, first withholding the food and wages of our frontier army, and depleting the strength of the frontier army, and then all the information about our army Informed the Beirong people, let the Beirong cavalry repeatedly attack the weakest place of our army, and then set up a poisonous plan to kill the father of the minister! The emperor! In this battle, more than 7 frontier troops starved to death, and [-] died in battle. Thousands of people, and my father is even more..."

"Please the emperor make the decision for us, restore the innocence of Duke Zhen, kill spies, and behead traitors!" Zhao Hao was choked up and couldn't finish, and the people behind him had already shouted in unison.

That majestic voice could be heard clearly for ten miles around.

Zhao Hao led the army to wipe out the [-] cavalrymen of the Northern Rong and took them back to Aye City. Although it was deliberately forgotten by people above the court, it has already spread to the people of the capital. Come out with mouth to welcome and watch.

At this moment, they could all hear clearly!
As the voices of the knights in white fell, the voices of the people rose again: "Someone actually colluded with the Beirong people! Please the emperor to investigate clearly! The traitors will destroy his nine clans!"

One person yelled loudly, and everyone joined in, and for a while, the sound of killing treacherous ministers stretched for several miles.

Some of the officials turned pale.
