The triumphant army returned to the city, and the people rushed to the long street to greet each other from a distance of a hundred miles, which was a grand sight.

In front of the Taiji Hall, 99 ascends the ladder, embossed with engraved seals on the royal road, nine dragons soaring, and cloud patterns cruising.

Fang Yuwu took off his armor and entered the palace, stepping on the emperor's imperial road with protruding cloud patterns, enjoying the worship of all officials.

The bell of the Taihe Tower rang, and in the Taiji Hall, the emperor stood up and stepped down the steps, wearing a dragon robe, and walked through the aisle among the ministers of civil and military affairs, and met the handsome and handsome Marquis Fang Yuwu.

"See..."

"The marquis of supernatural powers is exempt from ceremony."

Before Fang Yuwu's knee touched the ground, he was lifted up by the laughing emperor and led to the front of the hall.

Emperor: "Come here, give me a seat."

Fang Yuwu: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"See Lord Fang—"

Amidst the sound of worship in the hall, Fang Yuwu looked at Qi Chen who was standing in the first row of all the officials, and the group of courtiers with gloomy expressions behind him.

The prime minister on the right, with white hair in a bun, still radiant after a happy birthday, held an ivory wat in both hands, and stood in front of the hall: "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

As soon as the vicissitudes of the right minister's voice sounded, Fang Yuwu saw that Qi Chen's face was mostly green, and there was a quiet hostility hidden in Fang Yuwu's eyes.

Fang Yuwu raised his sleeves wide, sat down under Qi Chen's gaze, and enjoyed wave after wave of courtiers' support.

Right Prime Minister: "This time Lord Fang Hou won a complete victory, quelled the chaos on the border, and brought the three parts of Xizhou back to our Southern Guangdong. It can be said that it has shocked both inside and outside, and it will stabilize the society and the hearts of the people. Congratulations to the emperor! Congratulations to the emperor!"

After the right minister finished speaking in a cadence, all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty held their wats and bowed their heads——

"Congratulations to the emperor!"

"Emperor Hexi!"

"Congratulations to Lord Fang Hou on his triumphant return!"

……

The emperor sat on the dragon chair, and Long Yan was very happy: "Good! Very good! The Marquis of the Divine Power has made great contributions in pacifying Xizhou, and I will reward you a lot!" He said and pointed at Fang Yuwu excitedly, "What reward do you want? Allow you!"

Fang Yuwu got up and saluted, and suddenly said: "Then I will boldly ask the emperor for mercy."

"Begging for mercy?" The emperor frowned, "How do you say that?"

Fang Yuwu smiled, not like begging for mercy, but rather as a gesture of asking for credit: "Several months of wars have caused the people in the three tribes of Xizhou to be displaced, and the people are in dire straits. Seeing the children of the refugees eating grass roots and bark, I set up alms on my own initiative. Distribute all the surplus food and salaries of our army to the victims, please forgive me, please kill me first and then play."

"Hahahaha!" The emperor laughed loudly when he heard the words, and his voice shook the whole court, "Good! When the war subsided, I should have sympathized with the people's opinions and benefited the people's livelihood. I will punish you, and I will reward you again!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En," Fang Yuwu nodded in a chic and reckless manner.

The emperor was well aware of his younger brother's disposition, gold, silver and treasures were not what he wanted, so he glanced at the ministers and said, "The Marquis of Supernatural Power has made great contributions to protecting the country this time, and I want to give him a reward. idea?"

"Bold minister!" As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the scholar Kang Cheng came out with his ivory wat, "The position of the Eastern Palace has been vacant for a long time, and a decision must be made early to ensure the safety of the country. The art of soldiers can enter the East Palace, and now the Marquis of Shentong has won the three parts of Xizhou by virtue of the art of controlling soldiers, and the old minister has the courage to ask the emperor Li Fanghou to be the reserve, and to rule the court!"

"My minister seconded the proposal." Zuodu Yushi said, "The matter of helping the refugees in Xizhou this time shows that Fang Houye cares about the country and loves the people like his own son. He is really the best candidate for the crown prince."

"My minister agrees."

"The minister seconded the proposal..."

"My minister agrees."

……

There were constant voices of seconding in the hall, and Fang Yuwu sat on the grand master's chair in a very relaxed posture, tapping the ivory wat in his hand with his fingers, and his eyes fell on Qi Chen's face from time to time.

Qi Chen stood still with a long body, expressionless, Zuo Xiang and Grand Master Qin standing next to him were black-faced, but they couldn't get in a word.

"Xin Wang." The emperor suddenly called out.

Qi Chen came out: "My son is here."

The emperor sternly knocked on the table: "Do you have any objection to this matter?"

Qi Chen cast a glance at Fang Yuwu from the corner of his eye, Fang Yuwu already looked like a winner.

What is the point of him now?Even if he has, what's the use?

Since ancient times, there has been no precedent for the Marquis to be established as a heir, but the emperor deliberately broke the old rules many years ago. The left minister tried his best to dissuade him, but in the end it was futile. Now the boat is done and the rice is cooked. used.

Qi Chen kept his voice cold, and said word by word: "My son, I have no objection."

"Okay!!" The emperor immediately announced, "immediately draw up an edict with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and choose a date to hold the grand ceremony for the establishment of the crown prince!"

"The emperor is wise——"

"His Majesty Congratulations—"

"Congratulations, Empress Hou—"

Fang Yuwu also thanked him without hesitation. The emperor knew his ambition, and both the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty knew it.

Qi Chen looked calm on the surface, even his expression didn't change, but his unchanging appearance before the mountain collapsed could not fool Fang Yuwu.

But this is just the opening scene. In order to repay the many surprises Qi Chen created for him, Fang Yuwu also gave Qi Chen a big gift.

Fang Yuwu's eyes seemed to sweep across the officials inadvertently.

Taifu Changsun hunched over with an old bone, and got out from the applause of the hall: "Report to the emperor, the old minister has a book to play."

When the emperor saw that it was him, the corners of his brows twitched: "Teacher please tell me."

This eldest grandson Taifu, who is over eighty years old, still refuses to return to his hometown to take care of his old age. He holds up the banner of "the Qing emperor's side" every day to catch the pigtails of all civil and military officials, and impeaches one person every time he goes to court.

It was Qi Chen who was impeached by him yesterday.

"The old minister wants to impeach one person." The eldest grandson Taifu was always strong and full of spirit.

The emperor said helplessly: "Who is the Tai Tuo going to participate in today?"

"The old minister wants to trust Wang Qichen!"

Qi Chen heard the sound and looked over, his expression remained motionless.

The emperor had a headache and said: "Didn't the Tai Tuo already visit him yesterday? I also punished him for abandoning the army without permission, fined him half a year's salary, and stopped building Jiao Lanqing's mansion."

Grand Tutor Changsun sternly said: "The old minister wants to join him today!"

The emperor glanced at the domineering Qi Chen, and said, "Okay, what is the name of the Tai Tuo joining him today?"

The eldest grandson Taifu walked squarely and knelt in front of the saint: "Xin Wang Qichen was ordered by the emperor to lead the reinforcements to assist Xizhou. , trying to exchange the heads of our 30 troops in Southern Guangdong for a share of military exploits, you really don’t deserve to set an example for our Southern Guangdong royal family!"

There was a burst of commotion and criticism in the courtroom.

Qi Chen's face was stern, he looked straight into the old man's eyes, and his voice was dangerously low: "Teacher, please don't talk nonsense."

"Hmph." Prime Minister Zuo snorted coldly, "Could it be that Grand Tutor Changsun is just too confused. Your lord has made meritorious service in assisting Lord Fang in this battle. Where did you hear these pretentious rumors?"

The emperor's expression cooled instantly.

As the commander-in-chief of an army, if he harbors selfishness, regards the military as nothing, and treats the life and death of the lieutenants as nothing, it will not only chill the hearts of the people in the world, but also damage the prestige of the imperial court.

Emperor: "What Prime Minister Zuo said is very true. King Xin also made meritorious service in this battle. Is there any evidence for Aiqing to accuse him of this?"

Grand Tutor Changsun: "The witness is outside the hall!"

Qi Chen closed his eyes.

"The witness is Hodar's sister, Bashuhe. Governor Mo of the Supervision Office has handed her over to the old minister, and she is waiting outside the hall under escort."

As soon as this remark came out, the whole court was shaken, and the last half of the smile on the emperor's face could not hold back: "Press it up!"
