Chapter 96: Surprised 1
Three days passed quickly, and today is the day when General Lan Hong returns in triumph. Lan Hong is a low-key and cautious person, which is why the emperor still trusts him very much after he has been the general for so many years.
reason.
Every time he came back from a war, the first thing he did was to hand over the military talisman in his hand to show his indifference to power. It was precisely because of his caution that Qing Tianen, who had always been suspicious, trusted him so much.
At this time, Lan Hong's army had already arrived at the gates of Kyoto, and this time Lan Hong made great military exploits again. Several small countries around the Nanyue Dynasty would launch several large-scale wars against them every year. Although the Nanyue Dynasty was powerful,
Several small countries are united, and it is still difficult to get rid of them. In addition, there are not many generals available in the court, so Qingtian Encai has been unwilling to let Lan Hong, who is nearly sixty years old, return to his hometown for retirement.
On the city wall, Qing Tianen personally came to welcome Lan Hong's return. Only a person who takes power lightly will not become a big problem.
Seeing a red flag from a distance, the word "LAN" on it was particularly eye-catching. A smile appeared on Qing Tianen's face, and he waved hurriedly, "Quick, follow me down to greet General Lan."
After saying that, he walked quickly towards the bottom of the city tower, and the princes and ministers behind him hurriedly followed. Everyone knew how deeply the emperor trusted Lan Hong, and of course there were some who were jealous and had framed him.
But every time Lan Hong survived, it was all thanks to his usual caution.
On the army side, Lan Hong had already seen the bright yellow dragon robe. Every time he returned, the emperor would personally come to greet him, which made him feel flattered.
Seeing the emperor coming, Lan Hong quickly dismounted. He was not the kind of person who takes credit for his pride. The emperor had already put down his dignity and came to pick him up. How could he remain on the horse and not get off?
Although he has repeatedly accomplished extraordinary feats and is a talented general in the imperial court, in the eyes of the emperor, people like them are often a big worry. The more talented a person is, the more he will become a thorn in the emperor's side. So over the years, he
He has always abided by his duties and never exceeded the rules, which is why he has lived safely until now.
"Lan Aiqing!" Qing Tianen began to call Lan Hong from afar, with tears already filling his eyes.
At this time, Lan Hong can be said to be a little embarrassed. This time he went to Mobei to fight. The conditions there were difficult and he couldn't even drink a sip of water. The year-long battle made Lan Hong lose a lot of weight. Originally, a picture
The clean company now had a ferocious scar. Five months ago, I heard that Lan Hong was seriously injured, but he fought his way through the injury, not only repelled the enemy, but also regained the lost ground, allowing
The whole military camp was excited.
Now seeing the scars on Lan Hong's face, Qing Tian'en couldn't help but feel a little moved. The prosperity of a country is tied to these soldiers who are fighting outside.
Lan Hong was also in a hurry, and hurriedly came to Qing Tianen, knelt down with a plop, and performed the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, "Your Majesty, Lan Hong, kowtow to the emperor, long live the emperor!"
"Aiqing, please get up quickly." Qing Tianen hurriedly helped Lan Hong up. Seeing his ferocious appearance and haggard appearance, his eyes were red, "Lan Aiqing has worked hard all the way. You and I don't have to do that between you and me.
Xu Li, you are the pillar of our Nanyue Dynasty and a blessing to our Nanyue Dynasty."
"You don't want to be a lowly minister!" Lan Hong didn't say much, and he always lowered his head when facing Qing Tianen.
Lan Hong is very clear about the difference between emperor and minister. No matter what the emperor thinks of you, he will always be the emperor. Don't pretend to be brothers with the emperor, as that relationship will never exist.
Lan Hong took out the military talisman from his close-fitting bra, held it in front of Qing Tianen with trembling hands, and his loud voice slowly sounded, "Your Majesty, Lan Hong has lived up to the emperor's will and has defeated all the enemy troops five hundred kilometers away from Mobei.
We were repulsed and the lost territories such as Xianglin, Pyongyang, and Nanwan were recovered. It is indeed the emperor's blessing that Weichen came back alive to see the emperor today. Weichen has completed the military orders issued by the emperor, and at this moment, the military symbols for mobilizing the three armies will be returned to the emperor."
Qing Tianen looked at the military talisman in Lan Hong's hand, nodded with satisfaction, ordered the people behind him to put it away, and stretched out his hand to help Lan Hong up, "Thank you for your hard work, Lan Aiqing. I have already held a banquet in Chenghua Palace to welcome Aiqing.
, quickly follow me to the Chenghua Palace!"
"I thank you for your grace."
"Every soldier has worked hard, and today I will reward you one by one." Qingtianen will naturally not forget to reward the soldiers. This is the most important part of stabilizing military morale.
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace."
Qing Tianen saw Lan Hong's eyes searching for something in the crowd, smiled softly, and said, "Lan Aiqing is looking for your eldest daughter Lan Ruoxi?"
Hearing this, Lan Hong was shocked and said with fear, "Your Majesty, I forgive you. I am just worried about that child..."
"Haha, Lan Aiqing can rest assured. Ling Qianjin is different from the past. She is now a talented woman in our Nanyue Dynasty."
