Chapter 176 It's not too much to ask a daughter-in-law for such a big credit
Hou Xuanyan lay in the cabin, and the ships along the way rushed down, making him feel a little depressed.
Miao'er next to her sat upright, with a serious expression on her face, and a little elementary school student who was reading the text. Hou Xuanyan laughed silently, Miao'er became even more nervous, staring at the dense scroll in her hand, and began to recite it word by word.
Every time I stopped the boat to buy items, a spy from the Qianxiang Camp sent a secret scroll and placed it on the head of his bed. Hou Xuanyan was a little seasick, so he simply asked Miao'er to read it to him.
"At the end of the year, Your Majesty invited all the ministers to praise the military achievements of the General Jing Xiang. During the meal, Liu Zhongzao, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, accused the General Zhang Xianzhong of joining forces with Zhang Xianzhong, and Du Yinxi relied on the thief. The emperor was unhappy and scolded him.
Du Yinxi sent people to the capital and reported to His Majesty to appoint Huguang officials as soon as possible.
Zheng Zhilong sent people to Beijing to congratulate the New Year, presented treasures, and His Majesty distributed them to the ministers.
On the fifth day of the lunar month, Chen Zilong and Huang Zongxi gathered, and Huang Zongxi moved into Chen Mansion..."
Hou Xuanyan waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't read it."
Miao'er felt relieved, put down the file, patted her chest gently, and there was already white hair sweat on her forehead. Hou Xuanyan joked: "In the future, she will definitely be a poor student."
At this time, Qin He knocked on the cabin door outside and said loudly: "Master General, the Jinling Ferry has arrived."
Hou Xuanyan's expression was stirred, and a carp jumped up from the bed, which scared Miao'er so much that she covered her mouth and exclaimed.
"Oh? Will it be here so soon?" Hou Xuanyan stood up straight, put on his clothes under Miao'er's service, pushed open the cabin door, and the sun shone brightly today.
The Jinling Ferry was crowded with people, and most of the people who came to greet him were officials arranged by him after he captured Jinling. They were waiting here early and cheering when they saw Hou Xuanyan coming to the bow of the boat.
Hou Xuan said happily: "When we left, Jinling had just recovered for a while, and everyone's sorrow had not dissipated. Now I finally have some energy and look much stronger than that time. It seems that a lot of haze left by the Qing Dynasty has dissipated, which is a good thing."
The personal soldier Hu Bawan said with envy, "I don't know when my hometown in Shandong will be able to go back."
Qin He saw that Hou Xuanyan was in a good mood and was afraid that he would let him down, so he secretly stepped on him and scolded: "You are just talking too much."
Hou Xuanyan turned around and said, "As long as the current momentum is maintained and the Han people work together, even Liaodong can be recovered in the past few years. Don't worry, I promise to take you back."
Hu Bawan grinned, and Hou Xuanyan could see that the man was not happy to smile. Hidden behind his smiling face, there was deep sorrow. An uplifting man also had his softness in his heart, Hou Xuanyan was speechless.
The guards shouted the boatman to sail to the shore and parked the pedals. Hou Xuanyan took people to the shore, and a carriage was gathered in the crowd, and everyone helped Hou Xuanyan onto the carriage.
Chen Mingyu, the left-behind governor in Nanjing, asked through the curtain: "Sir Xiaohou, a banquet has been set up in the city. Do you have to use the wine and food first?"
Hou Xuanyan lifted the curtain of the car and said, "No hurry to go to the palace first to meet Your Majesty."
"Then I'll wait upstairs for the adults."
Hou Xuanyan nodded and ordered the groom to whip up and head straight to the palace gate.
When he arrived outside the palace gate, Hou Xuanyan got off the carriage and was about to enter the palace. A small eunuch ran and said, "Your Majesty has an order. Duke Yue has worked hard and is especially allowed to ride a horse into the palace."
Hou Xuanyan took off his sword and threw it to Qin He. He rode on his horse and followed the eunuch to Nuanfang Hall.
When Zhu Youjian heard this, he was overjoyed. Chen Zilong was his confidant civil servant, and Hou Xuanyan was the General of Baisheng. He didn't think that Chen Zilong was as powerful as the other party. He might not understand Chen Zilong's thoughts, but he didn't want to worry too much. After Hou Xuanyan said this, Zhu Youjian immediately agreed and said, "Huang Ying'er is a loyal and wise descendant. I was named the princess by me. Since I was in love with Duke Yue, I was happy to make this coal, haha."
