I don't want to return

Shen Qing closed her eyes in despair.Little did they know that at this moment, another sharp arrow was coming through the air from the opposite direction.

Immediately afterwards, the two arrows collided and fell to the ground a foot away from Mu Chongyu!

The sound of shouting and killing came like a tide.

Mu Chongyu turned around hesitantly, and unexpectedly saw Xue Jinghong riding a horse, leading a group of Qingqi to break through many obstacles and gallop towards him.

Reinforcements are here!

He wanted to smile at Xue Jinghong, but felt exhausted.With another wave of the sword, he found that there were no enemy troops that appeared like flowing water around him.

The enemy army has been surrounded by the [-] troops with lightning speed.

After that, there is no suspense about the outcome.

Xue Chenghua was arrested with the reputation of a traitor, and was taken to the prison in the imperial capital awaiting trial. Mu Yuan was also arrested as an accomplice.The remaining remnants of defeated soldiers were all taken as captives, and they were taken to the imperial capital of Beiyu in a mighty way.

So far, the Daoyan faction has finally subdued the law.

After the war, the old things faded away.Mu Chongyu is now a shepherd in Yuzhou. After the war, he immediately opened a warehouse to release grain to help the people, and sent people to help farmers plow the abandoned fields, trying to restore the fertility of the land in the past.

It took many days to be so busy.

Xue Jinghong looked at Mu Chongyu's busy back repeatedly, looking for an opportunity to talk to him alone, but unfortunately he couldn't find an opportunity.

Accidentally avoiding the eyes of everyone with Mu Chongyu, Xue Jinghong plucked up the courage and was about to speak when he saw Mu Chongyu's dodging eyes.

"Your Majesty, Chongyu still has important matters to deal with, so go ahead." Then he fled in a hurry.

Xue Jinghong had no other choice.A lot of affairs are still waiting for him to deal with, he can't just waste time in Yuzhou and miss important things.

Xue Jinghong walked quietly.In other words, Mu Chongyu deliberately turned a blind eye.When Shen Qing came to report that His Majesty Beiyu's army had returned to the imperial court, Mu Chongyu had just raised his head from the tedious affairs. At that time, Xue Jinghong had already left Yuzhou.

Walking the army in a long way, Haohao returned to the court.

Back in the palace, the situation changed completely.

Xue Chenghua, the last member of the Daoyan faction, not only committed the crime of killing people indiscriminately, but also colluded with the rebel army Mu Yuan in an attempt to plot rebellion. Such a serious crime has no chance.

As an accomplice, Mu Yuan was sentenced to death together.

As for the remaining tens of thousands of garrison soldiers of the rebellious army, anyone who is willing to admit their mistakes and surrender will be given a chance to survive. The remaining generals Xue Chenghua and Mu Yuan's confidantes can only surrender together.

Huihui's righteousness has been revealed, and the next step is to reward meritorious deeds.

The one who made the most contribution in encircling and suppressing the rebels and overthrowing the Yan faction will be promoted to rank and given generous salary to high-ranking officials.

The courtiers had no objection to this, but when a piece of imperial edict was issued and it was decided to promote Yuzhou Mu to the rank of first-rank chariot general, and to be named Duke of Yan, the entire court was in an uproar.

Although Yuzhou Mu had meritorious service in defending the city, it was not enough for him to reach the sky in one step.Back then, the generals who made great contributions to the unification of Saibei grasslands were only added to the ranks but not to the marquis, and the feudal marquis was not added to the rank. What's more, the battle of Yuzhou today is thrilling, but it is far from a close call. the point.Yuzhou Mu was able to add an official to a marquis in one fell swoop, which is really eye-catching.

When everyone secretly wondered about the injustice, some people saw through the truth of the matter in a trance: since ancient times, emperors have always been suspicious.Yuzhou Mu has achieved such great military achievements, His Majesty should be afraid, so he deliberately rewarded the great gift of heaven, let's see if Yuzhou Mu can grasp it.

After such an explanation, Baiguan suddenly became enlightened, feeling extremely transparent for a moment, they all let go of their jealousy and injustice, and pretended to be watching the show from the other side.

But unexpectedly, on the day when the show started, everyone was completely dumbfounded.

August [-]th, the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After a month of rectification of the government, most of the affairs have been settled. It coincides with the heat of midsummer fading away, and the festive season is approaching. The Northern Chongqing Imperial Capital is preparing to take this opportunity to have a banquet for the officials. One is to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the other is to pass Open up a new look, wash away the old appearance dominated by the Yan faction, and open up a new look for Qingming to rule the world.

The full moon is like a silver plate, hanging on the willow treetops for the first time.The palace is decorated with lanterns and festoons, which is extremely gorgeous.

The banquet has already started, all the guests and hosts are seated, only one person, who arrived late, has never been seen.

It was the legendary Yuzhou Mu who had defended the city for more than half a month, made great contributions in the Battle of Yuzhou, and was named a general and marquis.Oh no, it should be called Duke Yan now.

On the surface, everyone at the table exchanged cups and chatted with Yan Yan, but secretly they all looked forward to this Duke of Yan, eager to see his true face.

Someone secretly glanced at the Holy Majesty on the throne, and saw Xue Jinghong sitting there sinking like water, with no expression of joy or anger on his face, and felt a little gloating in his heart: This is all right, Duke Yan took credit for his pride and dared to let His Majesty wait for him, I'm afraid he will be disgusted by His Majesty in the near future and suffer the consequences.

After another incense stick, the eunuch outside the door finally notified: General Cheqi and Duke Yan have an audience.Not long after, I saw a tall and tall figure walking slowly from the jade steps outside the main hall.

The man was dressed in a purple robe, and the golden python pattern on the sleeves shone brightly under the palace lantern. He got closer step by step, and the officials who were sitting at the entrance of the main hall, who were competing with each other, caught sight of the Duke of Yan. true colors.

Some people began to marvel at the good looks of Duke Yan!With a face made of jade, a figure made of bamboo, and wearing a purple robe, he doesn't look like the legendary heroic general who killed decisively, but looks more like a fairy, handsome and handsome.During the admiration, he forgot the hostility towards him before.But immediately after, Duke Yan went to the hall to salute and stood still, only then did someone notice that something was wrong.

Especially some ministers with seniority and experience in the court.They stared at him in astonishment, tongue-tied and startled.Some of them were very old, afraid that their old eyes would be blinded, so they asked left and right, whispering to each other.Not long after, everyone in the main hall realized that something was wrong, and the joking mood just now was wiped away, and the whole court was in an uproar.

But the pair of monarchs and ministers who were under the spotlight of everyone seemed not to notice the slightest problem.Not only that, their majesty has been smiling ever since the youth arrived.

Anyone can see how genuine and joyful that smile is.

Your Majesty, this...can't be delirious, right?

Mu Chongyu listened to the noisy and earnest discussions in his ears, and felt various feelings in his heart.Others were puzzled, but he himself never thought that one day, he would stand in the main hall of Beiyu Imperial Palace in such a capacity.

"Mu Chongyu greets His Majesty!"

Mu Chongyu's voice was clear and his words were clear. He knelt down on one knee and saluted like a native of Beiyu.

This time, everyone heard what he was shouting.

Mu Chongyu, Lord of the Old Yan!He is indeed Mu Chongyu, the Lord of the Old Yan, not Mu Zongyu of Yuzhou!

How can this be so absurd!

The imperial censor ordered Guo Haoru to speak up and speak out, and he has an upright personality and has always been outspoken. Even if he stood up, he pointed the finger at Mu Chongyu: "Your Majesty, remember that this is Mu Sheren, the servant of the emperor, right?" The Mushe people have wandered outside for two years, and after they come back, don’t they remember their duties? Why don’t the officials know that the Mushe people are qualified to stand in the hall of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet?!”

This question just revealed the dissatisfaction of the people in the court hall. Everyone quieted down and stared at Mu Chongyu with unkind faces.

Xue Jinghong's gaze never left Mu Chongyu for a moment, until now, he had no choice but to look away reluctantly, suppressed the emotion in his eyes, and glanced at the courtiers around him without anger.

Except for Zou Chun, probably no one could understand that he would have such a shocking move.However, he didn't care about it.

"Today, I will re-introduce Mu Chongyu to you dear friends. The former Chongyu promulgated the New Deal and managed Yuzhou well, making the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the atmosphere in Yuzhou is clear and bright. He has made meritorious service to the country, and I have promoted him to be the first-rank chariot general and made him the Duke of Yan." Xue Jinghong said word by word, scrutinizing the reactions of the officials without a trace.He saw shock, disbelief, and vicious suspicions on everyone's faces.

Xue Jinghong frowned, paused for a moment, and continued to raise his voice: "The Duke of Yan is now enfeoffing Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Jingzhou, and Yangzhou, with a total of 76 miles and [-] cities. The Duke can continue to guard the territory on my behalf and extend the grace."

"Chongyu thanks Your Majesty!" Mu Chongyu took a deep look at Xue Jinghong and knelt down on one knee again.It is not easy for Xue Jinghong to achieve such a level, he should learn to be content.

Manchu was angry and angry.

Is Your Majesty crazy? !It's nothing more than giving high-ranking officials a generous salary, but what is the purpose of handing over the fertile soil for thousands of miles? !How is this different from letting the tiger go back to the mountain?

Looking at the old Yan Lord, he neither claimed to be a humble minister, nor knelt down on his knees and kowtowed his head. How did he ever have a gesture of bowing his head and thanking the emperor for his kindness?He clearly has a different intention, perhaps he is still dreaming of the old dream of the Lord of Nanyan!

Guo Haoru jumped up against the case: "Your Majesty can't do it!"

"The scourges of ancient times all started from the vassal land. First, there was the scourge of the feudal lords in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and then there was the chaos of the Seven Kings of Emperor Jingdi in the Western Han Dynasty. Does Your Majesty want to repeat the same mistakes? What's more," said Guo Haoru, who was quite emotional at this point. When the ground was cold, he glanced coldly at Mu Chongyu, who had a straight back, and said: "How can such traitors and fugitives take on such a heavy responsibility? Your Majesty has rewarded you with such a generous emperor's favor today, how can you know that such a man who is always on the move?" A traitor, wouldn't he repay his kindness and betray his promise?"

Mu Chongyu heard these words in his ears. In the past, he must have been ashamed and indignant, but now, these words can't shake him at all.

He has seen too many people who accused him and abused him, and finally gradually understood that the insults and accusations of others may not show that he is wrong.On the contrary, the more the man cursed, the more he revealed the fear and fear in his heart.

He used to curse Xue Jinghong like this from the bottom of his heart, but today, he intends to let go of all suspicion and hesitation and trust him instead.

So Mu Chongyu remained silent, his straight back didn't tremble at all, and he just waited for Xue Jinghong's response.
