On this day, the whole country was celebrating, and the streets and alleys in Kaiyuan City were crowded with people. After the prisoner ceremony, the emperor was so happy that his face was red, and many new soldiers withdrew their troops into the city.

This is a great empathy. Jingguo has always been on guard against military personnel due to historical reasons. Therefore, the imperial guards need to send more than 50 troops to the Privy Council for approval, and the emperor needs to send more than 100 troops to the emperor, so their precautions, let alone let the imperial guards enter the capital.

Now that I was happy, I actually allowed the new army soldiers to enter the city. It can be said that it is a great blessing, and it is the first time in decades.

However, the soldiers were naturally happy when the new army entered the city. They were just so popular today and were happy. Unexpectedly, with such a big surprise, they were allowed to enter the city to celebrate with the people.

Li Xingzhou ordered them to go back to the camp first, put out their weapons and then come over. The camp of the imperial guards was on the edge of the city, not far away, and everyone was overjoyed.

Then Duke De and other important officials also came forward to greet him, and then entered the city one by one. Li Xingzhou saw the poem behind the crowd, and A Jiao and others in the royal palace, but it was not easy to go over and greet him.

And at this time, he was afraid that he would be surrounded by the people and could not get out of here, so he had to look at them from afar and talk to the ministers.

Many ministers were naturally full of praise, and many of them flattered and changed their faces. At that time, the six officials, headed by Meng Zhiye, were celebrating praises and complimenting him. Meng Zhiye himself wrote a gorgeous article and bowed forward and said, "The achievements of the prince are as good as Wei Huo in the past, and it is actually a blessing for the family and country. The old minister has a letter of praise, so please listen quietly."

Meng Zhiye stood in front of him, and the surroundings were all looking at his six officials nervously. The emperor was happily holding Prince Kang's hand and talking a few dozen steps away from a distance.

At this time, Duke De, He Zhao and others were talking to the officials of the Censorate with the help of Xiao Hongqi and accepting members of the Liao royal family.

The timing of Meng Zhiye's choice was very subtle.

Looking at his solemn old face, a chill rose in Li Xingzhou's heart, but he smiled: "Of course, I'm not too late to thank Lord Meng."

Meng Zhiye was obviously very experienced. The time to choose was just right, and she could do the position. She was originally planning to deal with the prince after returning to Beijing, Meng Zhiye, Cheng Jin and others.

Unexpectedly, Meng Zhiye, a master of Neo-Confucianism, seemed to be a nerd and old-fashioned person. He turned out to be so experienced and keen in politics, and he sold the prince without hesitation.

At this time, he brought six officials to the government to seek the gold medal of avoiding death. Although it was not that serious, he was just seeking good deeds, bringing closer relationships, and expressing his position.

Li Xingzhou has always been incompatible with Meng Zhiye, Cheng Jin and others, especially their ideas that were contrary to Chen Yu. Of course, he did not think about it. However, he had such a high argument for the most exciting summary of political means. Striking the enemy does not mean making enemies everywhere. The most serious blow can only be used against the most stubborn and cruel enemies, uniting the majority and attacking a small part of the attack. The most evil will never be asked.

Li Xingzhou deeply agreed that the united front is not only targeting his own people, but also targeting the enemy. The urgent thing now is to use the prince. As long as he defeats the prince, his status will be stable. As for these people... I can talk about it later.

After more than three years of hardship in this world and so many experiences, he is no longer the Li Xingzhou who was so arrogant that he beats people when he was unhappy and was too lazy to find someone to cut off his ears when he listened to others' nonsense.

Perhaps the pattern is higher, even in his previous life, he has never been in such a high pattern. After listening to the gorgeous articles that Meng Zhiye and others praised, he laughed and praised a few words.

Before leaving, he looked around the officials of the six departments around him and said, "Everyone, I am not a narrow-minded person, and even a saint is bound to make mistakes, let alone us ordinary people.

But no matter how saints and ordinary people are, no one likes them."

"What the prince said is extremely true!" Everyone nodded quickly and agreed.

Li Xingzhou exchanged a few greetings with them and then said goodbye. Degong Zheng and He Zhao accompanied the officials of the Censorate to count and detain members of the Liao royal family and high-ranking officials. In fact, there were only a few dozen members of the royal family in the end, and more were officials and generals.

As for those beautiful beauties in the Liao Dynasty palace, Li Xingzhou had already agreed to send them to the new army soldiers, so after the prisoner ceremony was completed, he asked someone to take them back to the royal palace for custody.

After seeing him, Degong happily pulled him aside and praised him and criticized him, praised him for his decisive and generous work, criticizing him or acting impulsively, and not knowing that he would write letters to his home and talk for more than an hour. He Zhao just reminded him to go and see his daughter after he went back.

When it comes to He Qian and Li Xingzhou, he gets angry. At the beginning, the old man was still dark and kept stopping him. Now, he is trying hard to promote his daughter. What is the thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi?

But even though that was said, Li Xingzhou didn't think too much about it. He Zhao's bad temper was just because he didn't talk much, and he would say bad things, but he was quick to do things.

In the end, if Prince Kang called him, Duke De would probably have to talk for a long time.

Prince Kang was also blushed with joy. He praised him several times, and then said Di Zhi. After all, Di Zhi was his son-in-law. He was so happy, largely because Di Zhi would definitely be promoted when he came back this time. The Kang Mansion was lucky to be a powerful minister.

Li Xingzhou told him about Di Zhi's situation, because he remembered that he had returned, and Di Zhi had an injury on his leg and was temporarily inconvenient to travel, so most of the new army still had Di Zhi. Yan Shen stayed in Nanjing and started to move south when Di Zhi's injury was almost healed, and he would probably come back next month.

.........

After the Triumph Ceremony, it was a grand celebration, held by Kaiyuan Prefecture. It took just a few days to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and celebration became a grand event at this time.

Li Xingzhou looked for an opportunity to bid farewell to the emperor and the queen, and hurried towards the crowd at the other corner of the city. He had long seen the carriages and horses of the royal palace landing there, with cushions, tables and chairs, and the surrounding area was surrounded by the guards. Several officials in the mansion, Shiyu, Qiu'er, Yue'er, etc. were waiting there under the leadership of Gillian.

He walked over a few steps and everyone came to greet him happily. He picked up the big-headed little girl Jiao. Everyone laughed. Jiao blushed and hurriedly buried her head in his chest.

"Hahahaha, do you miss me?" Li Xingzhou laughed happily.

Gillian nodded shyly, afraid that the little girl would drill a hole in his chest, so he had to put her down again.

"Welcome back." The poem was much more steady, and as he said, someone brought a basin and towel to him to welcome him.

Li Xingzhou laughed excitedly, and after washing his face, he also picked up Shiyu. Shiyu was thin-skinned and pushed him quickly, and whispered in a panic: "Let go, everyone is watching..."

Li Xingzhou had to let go of her. Fortunately, Qiu'er was not like them. She rushed over happily to hug him, and didn't care about the eyes of the people around her. Li Xingzhou was very proud and began to walk back around everyone.

Li Xingzhou was so happy that he wanted to hug Jiao and Shiyu and Yue'er, but the few of them hid aside in fear. In the end, only Qiu'er was not shy and was happily carried by him and walked towards the palace.

Everyone followed happily, and the convoy of the royal palace was watched along the way...

Of course, Li Xingzhou was proud of his youth, hugging Qiu'er and swaying across the city, while Qiu'er leaned quietly in his arms, giggling.

When they returned to the palace, Yan Kun had already brought people to greet him at the door. Li Xingzhou followed them into the courtyard, and everyone in the palace ran over to watch happily.

Yan Chai had someone prepare food and drinks. Li Xingzhou was talking to everyone while eating. Yan Kun, Fang Xin, Shiyu and other officials, Zhao Si, Yan Gu, Zhu Rong, Tie Niu and others were all curiously gathered around to ask questions. Li Xingzhou kept talking and was happily joking with everyone.

I felt so good to finally get home after running for so long.

Gradually he also realized something was wrong, so he thought for a while and stopped chopsticks and asked, "Where is Qifang?"

Shiyu gently pinched his thigh: "Hmph, I miss him. She is in the back mountain and will come over in a while."

"What did she go to the back mountain?" Li Xingzhou took a big sip of fruit wine.

Shiyu saw that everyone was talking happily and didn't pay much attention to this side, so she came over and said, "Lead the troops, she will take the new army you left behind."

Li Xingzhou's heart suddenly became keen and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? Something is going on."

"No, but I feel worried. I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of something." Shiyu whispered: "If something happens, she's reliable."

He smiled and said, "Why, aren't you two always quarreling? Why don't you make trouble this time?"

Shiyu's face turned slightly red, and he pinched his thigh, "She...she counted me, and she begged me, I will naturally give in to her. Besides, you are not here, she is the only one in the mansion who knows to lead troops, and it's not who she is.

The affairs between us are between us, and the affairs of the royal palace are between the royal palace. We cannot affect the affairs of the royal palace because of the affairs between us. Of course I have a proper sense."

Li Xingzhou looked at the smart and beautiful woman in front of him and felt relieved. The hand under the table was restless and wanted to pull her hand, but was pinched and could only retract.

"I would be more obedient." Li Xingzhou shook his head.

"Don't think about it..." Shiyu's face turned slightly red and she whispered, then she said again: "But there is another strange thing I want to tell you."

"Strange thing?" Li Xingzhou was curious.

"Well, I thought it was nothing, but the more I thought about it, the more I felt strange it." Shiyu looked up slightly, as if recalling: "After you went to the war, almost everyone felt that you would definitely lose. Later, the news of your victory came to the royal palace first. I didn't release it, so I asked Sun Banzhang and the others to collect some information first.

Many people were not prepared, so the royal palace took advantage of the initiative to get a lot of information. The prince often ran to the village of Chengjin’s house in the east of the city, and officials from the six ministries in the central government often went there. However, after the news of your victory came, the officials of the six ministries stopped going, and the prince did not leave the palace, so the officials of the six ministries may have turned against each other."

Li Xingzhou shook his head and said, "You are so smart."

Shiyu continued: "Later, Sun Banzhang's subordinates noticed that they were idle at home when they returned to Beijing. Yang Hongzhao, who was waiting for the censorship to be sent to the imperial city several times. At first I thought he was going to see the emperor, but later I asked Uncle Ji, who said that Wei Chaoren had not seen the emperor in those days.

I was puzzled, why didn't he go to see the emperor? The Changchun Palace is to the north of the palace, and the harem is further north. He could not go. The Political Affairs Hall is to the west. The Privy Council is in charge of business, so he could not go. It is very likely that he would go to the East Palace.

So please help me pay attention. Sure enough, some soldiers in the Wudesi Sect saw Wei Chaoren and walked towards the Eastern Palace."

Li Xingzhou said: "It's nothing strange. He is guilty and the emperor refuses to see him. The people from the Privy Council and the Political Affairs Hall dare not see him. He must beg the prince to help him get rid of his crime."

"I thought so at first..." Shiyu frowned slightly, "But later I felt something was wrong. The news of your victory has arrived in the capital. It is a general trend for the prince to lose power. He wants to get rid of his crime and come to the palace to ask for help. How could he go to the East Palace?"

After Shiyu said this, Li Xingzhou nodded, "It's true that this matter is a bit strange."

"But these are just things to catch the wind and shadows, and it may be that I am thinking too much." Shiyu then shook her head: "I blame you. If you are not here, I will easily be nervous. I am nervous in my heart. I always think randomly and think too much."

Li Xingzhou smiled ambiguously: "Hehe, I'm very nervous if you are not here. I've been holding it in for more than a month. We'll have a good chat tonight and we won't be nervous."

Shiyu quickly sat down, "I...I'm talking about the serious business!"

...........

After a while, Wei Yubai, who had settled in the New Army camp, would come, and be surrounded by everyone and enter the courtyard. Jiao Shiyu and others went out to greet people. Shiyu liked to talk back to Qifang, but she would not, probably because Wei Yubai gave people a sense of dignity. She never hides her words and things, unlike Qifang, who is very thoughtful and can use any trick.

Everyone welcomed Wei Yubai in and regarded it as a guest of honor. Yue'er and Ajiao surrounded her and asked about the war. They were so excited. After all, the girls' family had a more common language. Seeing that they were lively, Li Xingzhou found a reason to go to the bathroom to relax, but his mind began to think about what Shiyu had just told him.

As the poem says, it may be a matter of catching things, but now when I calm down, I feel that it is getting stranger... it is getting more and more strange.

Yes, why did Yang Hongzhao look for the prince? Or after he won, the prince and him... should have a bad relationship. After all, the first Nanzhang expedition was a bad thing, which led to Yang Hongzhao's defeat, a bright future, and his military achievements were destroyed.

But I think Yang Hongzhao is also unlucky enough. He is a man with qualifications, experience, and the steadfastness of a great man. But for the first time he was a coach in Nanzheng, he met a second-hand prince.

The second time he was in charge of the Northern Expedition, he met a villain like Tong Guan and Yang Hu who led his troops to plunder the people of Yanshan Prefecture, leading to rebellion.

If there was no prince, no Tong Guan, Yang Hu, the first southern expedition, Yang Hongzhao would likely defeat the rebels and quell the chaos. The second northern expedition could defeat Yanshan Prefecture and capture the Liao royal family. Then today's great achievements would be his, and it would be enough to keep his name in history.

Moreover, in the battle of Yanshan Mansion, he also brought his beloved son Yang Jianye. Although Yang Jianye was young, he was brave and good at fighting, protected the people, and was strong and brave. Unfortunately, good people would die quickly forever.

In a rebellion in Yanshan Prefecture, the culprit was the culprit, and Yang Hu ran fast, leaving behind a Yang Jianye who refused to surrender. After his death, he was beheaded by the Liao people.

After Li Xingzhou broke through Yanshan Mansion, he only found his head and was hung on the top of the city by the Liao people. His body was not found. He was highly corrupt and could not be brought back to his hometown, so he was buried on the spot. However, he also wrote a letter to the Privy Council to ask for merit for Yang Jianye.

Thinking about it now, the veteran Yang Hongzhao is really miserable. He has the feeling of helplessness of killing a thief and being powerless to turn things around. He is a handsome man, but his teammates are all pigs.

So he recruited servants and asked them to prepare gifts, planning to visit him in person in the afternoon. After all, the two of them were colleagues, and they had a long conversation before sending troops...
