Guo Shao led his troops back to the court.

The imperial guards won a great victory, Li Chongjin was forced to kneel down, and the soldiers in the army shouted long live, and Guo Du immediately avoided the prosecutor... Zan Jurun talked about what he saw and heard in the Privy Council.

Wang Pu personally recorded the record and asked about the entire marching process.

His temples under his head were gray, but his small eyes were extra bright, shining with the curiosity and enthusiasm of a young man.

He was particularly concerned about the combat methods of the Huben Army's infantry camp. He only fired bows and arrows with volleys after the infantry arrived. He had never heard of some tactics.

Seeing that Wei Renpu was looking at his writing calmly, Wang Pu turned his head and smiled: In my opinion, Guo Shao will be the most interesting person in these years.

……

The next day, Jinxiang Hall celebrated its grand ceremony.

Dongdongdongdongdongdong!The heavy drum sound began, and the drum sound slowed down, alternating with the bell to form a very slow and rhythmic main sound; the hundred-person musicians on the side of the hall sounded various shapes of musical instruments hanging on the huge shelf.

The grand palace joy immediately enveloped the broad hall in a solemn atmosphere.

After Guo Shao, Shi Yanchao and Yang Biao dismantled their weapons, they stepped into the hall, and all the civil and military officials in Tokyo turned to look.

At this time, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were not present, and everyone bowed and greeted: Congratulations to Marshal Guo for his complete victory!Congratulations...

Guo Shao greeted the officials with a fist, smiling, very humble.On the contrary, Shi Yanchao was proud.

Soon, the eunuch shouted: Empress Dowager, the emperor is here!

Guo Shao and others went to the east to join the line, and he stood at the front position here.Following more than a hundred civil and military ministers in the hall, he knelt on the ground and shouted: Long live my emperor, long live, long live...

The eunuch knelt down and held the emperor with a crest on his head onto the dragon chaise. Fu Jinzhan sat behind the curtain next to him and said, "The Lords are flat."Everyone shouted again: Thank you for your kindness.

At this time, Guo Shao walked forward, presented the seal of the Grand Marshal of the world's soldiers and horses with both hands, and bowed: I am summoned to fight against rebellion, and within fifteen days, I defeated Li Jixun and Li Chong's rebels one after another in Jinzhou and Northern Han territory, captured Li Chong's return to the court, and finally lived up to the empress dowager's trust.Today I will return to the army and return the military power.

Yang Shiliang came down to take the seal.

Fu Jinzhan behind the curtain said: Guo Du’s inspection office is invincible, and I feel relieved. You and others worked hard and made great contributions. They rewarded Guo Shao, Shi Yanchao, Yang Biao, Dong Zunhui, Luo Mengzi's brocade robes, silver belts and silver saddles for commendation. Today, a banquet was held in Jinxiang Hall to celebrate the achievements of the generals. Guo Du asked to check.

Guo Shao thanked him, stood up, turned to face the ministers and said: I once said that I will be the defenders of the Great Zhou and Tokyo in the future.Looking at it today, what are the words of the past?If the rebels were asked to invade Tokyo, the world would be in chaos and your wealth would not be guaranteed.

Everyone was talking suddenly.

Guo Shao clasped his fists to the superiors and said: I am loyal to the Queen Mother, and I regard Tokyo as my hometown. I will take it as my mission to defend the court, and I will be in vain.In the army, I often have slandering the "benevolence of a woman", but I don't care; only by benevolence and righteousness can I eradicate the unjust people as a way to defend.Today, the wars and chaos are suffering for a long time, and people are at ease. The imperial guards should comply with the will of the people, so that they can be united in heart and virtue with the people of the world and assist the empress dowager in creating a prosperous era.

Fu Jinzhan praised happily: Guo Du is really the minister of the imperial court.

Everyone looked at each other and showed kindness to Guo Shao in their eyes.In such a chaotic era, being able to fight and protect their wealth is beneficial to those present, and of course everyone can enjoy Guo Shao.

After Guo Shao finished speaking, he retreated to the queue, and the civil servants on the opposite side nodded to him.

At this moment, a civil servant came out to worship: I am the envoy of the Southern Tang Kingdom who has something to do to report.

The eunuch Yang Shiliang looked back at the talisman in the curtain, and then said: Come on.

The envoy stepped forward, performed a bowing ceremony first, then presented the letter to the country with both hands, and said loudly: Our country's master (Li Hongji) congratulated the imperial guards of the Great Zhou Dynasty to suppress the rebellion and wanted to offer 1.2 million yuan of money as a congratulatory gift.Please give the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty to recognize the position of the lord and return the sixth brother of the lord, so that the two countries can make the favor of the lord and the ministers; if the court is in favor, the lord of our country will transport the property to Tokyo before the end of the year.

At this time, Prime Minister Fan Zhi stepped out and said: Empress Dowager, 20,000 imperial guards have made great contributions and returned to the court, so he should be rewarded; if the per capita reward of twenty stagnates, it would also cost 400,000 stagnates.After the emperor ascended the throne, he pleaded with mercy to exempt some of the taxes from the famine; but the cost was not reduced at all. The central finance was very difficult for the imperial guards to pay more than 100,000 soldiers and horse raising expenses.If the Southern Tang Kingdom contributed 1.2 million guan, the court could alleviate the shortage of taxes next year.

Fu Jinzhan received the letter of the country and said casually: After discussing this matter with the ministers, Ai's family will reply to the envoys of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

...There were too many people in the court, and the affairs in the court were not confidential at all. Soon, through the guest provincial officials who had made friends in Tokyo, Li Yu learned about Li Hongji's letter again.

Li Yu and Zhou Xian have lived in Tokyo for more than two months, and they are really living like a year.

Zhou Xian comforted him for a while: Although Fan Zhi is the prime minister, what he said doesn't count. General Guo has the power to suppress the rebellion, and speaking in the court is even more important.Husband, don't worry too much.

The two of them talked and saw that it was getting late, Zhou Xian went to the room to take a shower.

The smoke in the inner room was filled with smoke. She breathed a sigh of relief in the water and washed her body slowly.At this moment, she vaguely felt someone behind her and exclaimed: Who is it?

When I looked back quickly, I saw the curtain shaking, and I saw Li Yu walking to the door.Zhou Xian complained: Why do you want to secretly watch me take a shower?

Li Yu sighed: There are some women in the palace who can only endure it, but they will trash themselves.Ehuang won’t do that thing alone?

Zhou Xian's face suddenly turned red, and he felt very uncomfortable, and he said angrily: What kind of person do you think of me!

Last time... Li Yu wanted to speak but stopped and hesitated, "You go to seduce Guo Shao, it seems very different from before... It seems very comfortable."Didn’t you say you hate that kind of thing?

Zhou Xian said: Of course I hate it!Don't you know yet?Go out quickly, I'm just taking a shower.

Li Yu finally left.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, Zhou Xian felt dizzy, as if the weather was cold and the wind was slightly invaded by the cold.

Just said that, Li Yu actually sent someone to invite a doctor to prescribe medicine, and then worked hard until late at night to take the medicine for her to drink it before she could feel at ease.

Zhou Xian was very moved. No matter what, his husband was still the best person to her.

The two of them went to bed without words all night.

Zhou Xian woke up once in the middle of the night. When he opened his eyes, he suddenly saw Li Yu awake and looking at him.

She was shocked and pulled the quilt hard and sat up.

After being scared, she didn't know what to say for a moment, so she said she had a nightmare and was unwilling to point it out.

But she could no longer fall asleep and pretended to be asleep with her eyes closed.After being frightened, I felt very angry.

She felt very unhappy in Tokyo this time and always felt that someone was staring at her.Zhou Xian didn't want to cause trouble, but he did find that his husband was quietly observing her from time to time.

For example, I just got a box of nail polish from Chen Jiali the day before yesterday, saying it was something that Tokyo ladies like very much; Zhou Xian wanted to try it, but for some reason she had to hide quietly before applying it, probably because she was afraid that her husband would think she was frivolous.

Zhou Xian turned over and finally said: Husband, are you asleep?

In the dim light, Li Yu's voice said: I'm not asleep.

Zhou Xian pondered for a moment and said: I think it would be better to say something. Can you stop staring at me all the time?That makes me uncomfortable... Women will have some secret things, and it will be embarrassing to be seen.

Li Yu said: You and my husband, do you have anything else to hide from me?

It’s not that I want to hide it from you... Zhou Xian frowned. I think we should avoid it. Before we got married, even my mother didn’t stare at me all the time.

Li Yu sighed melancholy and said: I think you want to stay away from me slowly.

Zhou Xian opened his mouth and explained with difficulty: For example... For example, menstruation, which woman is willing to be seen?I feel very embarrassed to be stared at by others, without any secrets.

Li Yu was furious: When will I be interested in seeing things waiting for you!

I...I just want to make it clear.Zhou Xian hurriedly said, people want their glorious side to appear in front of others, no matter who it is; no one wants to be seen when they are embarrassed.

Li Yu said coldly: I know that since you met Guo Shao, you have begun to hate and dislike me.

After hearing this, Zhou Xian thought to himself and felt uncomfortable being with Li Yu, but it seemed that it was not because of Guo Shao.

Li Yu didn't hear her answer and said: I'm in vain for my sincerity to you. Think about it yourself, how did I treat you in the past few years?I always think you are the most important thing for me, so Li Hongji forced me to offer you, and I would rather run away!I thought Ehuang belonged to me and loved me very much.Do you want to be ungrateful?

Husband, when will I be ungrateful?Zhou Xian hurriedly grabbed his arm, thought for a while and said, "I know you are good to me."

Li Yu said kindly: Your father has passed away, and the Li family and the Zhou family are in-laws. I care so much about you, protecting you like my father.Ehuang should not be deceived by temporary temptation. You must understand who treats you as your own family.

Well... Zhou Xian responded softly, and he couldn't explain clearly what he said in his heart.

The fact that Guo Shao was forced to do nothing last time... My husband still has a way, and he will definitely not be willing to send his wife, whom he has been pampering for several years, to serve.

In addition to this matter, my husband has indeed obedient to her, willing to do everything he can to her, and has made a lot of contributions.

Zhou Xian really wants to be disloyal and moral, and even feels that he must be condemned by his conscience.

What's more, in the current situation, the big tree of the Zhou family has fallen, and the people of the clan must maintain their land and population. If they have no backing in Jinling for a long time, will there be a powerful local area intent to bully and occupy a large amount of property of the Zhou family over time?

She turned over silently and stopped complaining.
