The ministers looked at Zong Ai's smiling appearance, and they all knew that this guy was a smiling fox, and he was laughing on the surface, but in fact, he didn't know what conspiracy he was thinking about.

No one in the ministers spoke out, neither in favor nor in opposition, looking at this situation, Zong Ai is joining forces with the Empress Dowager Bao, if it is just the Empress Dowager Bao, but Zong Ai is too vicious, the emperor is controlled by this guy and does not know what will harm the court into.

The ministers also had hope, because the palace guards were not only these soldiers inside and outside the palace, but also the guards in the entire palace were thousands of people, and if someone could organize the other guards and rush to the Taiji Palace, the situation would soon be reversed.

At this moment, there was a large number of footsteps outside the hall, the sound of weapons and armor rubbing, and a general covered in blood walked in with a spear, followed by a large number of generals.

As soon as the ministers saw that it was General Yulin Tuoba Shoule, a glimmer of hope suddenly rose in the hearts of the ministers.

But seeing Tuoba Shoule walking to the palace and bowing to the Empress Dowager Bao: "Empress Dowager Qi, all the soldiers in the palace who oppose the establishment of Huang Ziren as the emperor have been swept away!" ”

Empress Dowager Bao and Zong Ai finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, the situation was completely stabilized, the overall situation was decided, and no one could turn the tables around.

Dou raised his hand: "The general has worked hard, tell the soldiers that the new emperor will be rewarded after dawn, so be even!" ”

"The last generals, thank you, the Queen Mother and Your Majesty!"

An old minister came out of the corner tremblingly and knelt down in the direction of the throne: "Long live Your Majesty, long live!" ”

When the ministers saw this old minister behaving like this, they immediately disdained it, but they were faced with the problem of choosing again, if they did not owe their allegiance to the new emperor, the next thing that awaited them was to add a sword and axe.

The second succumbed appeared.

Immediately after that, the third, the fourth.

In less than a moment, all the ministers in the entire hall knelt down.

Zong Ai shook the dust at the right time and said: "Your Majesty has a decree, and the ministers will accept it!" ”

A eunuch took out the holy decree and read it, this is what Zong Ai and the Empress Dowager Bao have long discussed, this holy decree is the great seal of the heroes, respect the Dou family as the empress dowager, in charge of the affairs of the inner palace; He also appointed Zong Ai as the middle permanent attendant, the prince and the prince, the secretary of the middle, and Feng Yigong; Fengbu Liuguli is the Shangshu of the palace and the Marquis of the Plains; Shengtuo Ba Shoule was promoted to the general of Zhenbei, the Duke of Nan'an, and Qian Wandu was classified as the general of the Fu Army, and continued to serve as the general of the Left Guard, and was crowned the Duke of Gu.

In addition, there were also large and small officials and generals who participated in supporting the enthronement of the emperor and the emperor were promoted and rewarded, and several generals who held military power inside and outside the city were promoted and added titles, and for a time these people were very happy, and the other courtiers did not dare to speak out even if they had the heart to oppose it.

The new king Tuoba Jun did not dare to object, he was a drunkard, no one looked down on him, and he had no sense of existence in the court, and saved his life in this coup.

In the next few days, the streets and alleys of the entire Pingcheng and the inner courtyard of the deep house were talking about the change of the throne and the killing of the two imperial uncles.

On this day, Zong Ai received an urgent letter sent by Zhao Junsheng, and after reading the letter, he learned the beginning and end of the war in the east, and immediately canonized in the name of the emperor to protect the coffin of the first emperor and the ministers who accompanied the army to return to Pingcheng as the hussar general and the king of Luling.

A few days later, the eunuch arrived in Huairong and read the decree to Lai Daqian, who was promoted and promoted to the rank of knight in order to make great contributions to the collection of his subordinates and the preservation of the coffins of the first emperor and the ministers accompanying the army during the frustration of the war.

Lai Daqian, who was promoted and knighted, was also embarrassed to oppose the new emperor, and happily accepted the holy decree and shouted long live.

Zong Ai naturally did not forget Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan, and defeated the pursuit of the Yan army with Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan in the final stage of the Eastern War, and promoted Zhao Junsheng to the general of Zhendong, the assassin of Youzhou, and the Duke of Fan Yang; Jiahua Mulan is the general of Anbei, the general of the Right Wing Army, and the Marquis of Jiyang.

When Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan led the army back to Jixian County, Pei Jin and Dongfang Chen took a large number of officials from Youzhou out of the city to greet them, and the eunuch who happened to announce the decree also arrived quickly, Zhao Junsheng also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Zong Ai finally succeeded, he and Hua Mulan took the will and instructed the officials to entertain the eunuch who announced the decree.

Cao Jiao sent someone back to report that the Southern Dynasty army had boarded the ship and withdrawn that night after discovering his brigade of soldiers and horses, leaving only an empty camp on the rock.

After Zhao Junsheng heard the report, he sent 1,000 infantry from the military capital to take over the Jieshi Mountain camp and replace Cao Jiao and 3,000 cavalry.

After settling down the soldiers and horses, Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan finally returned to the Thorn History Mansion in Jixian County.

Mulan threw away the whip, untied the sword, lay on the table and shouted, "I'm so tired! ”

"If you're tired, go take a shower and take a break, and I'll call you again when you're eating!" Zhao Junsheng untied the war knife and handed it to Li Bao, and beckoned his soldiers to unload his armor.

Hua Mulan waved her hand to Li Bao: "Li Bao, don't be busy, let's go for more than two months, it is estimated that your daughter-in-law has already given birth, go and see!" ”

When Zhao Junsheng saw Li Bao coming over, he waved his hand like a fly: "What do you want me to do?" Why don't you go and see how your daughter-in-law is, whether she gave birth to a boy or a girl! ”

"Oh oh oh!" Li Bao agreed, turned around and ran out.

"Brother Junsheng, I'll go wash up first!" Mulan picked up the horsewhip, picked up the sword, got up, and walked to her room in the backyard.

Zhao Junsheng asked his soldiers to get some hot water, took a hot bath beautifully, washed all the water in the bath, and changed the basin of water to wash it again, and then put on a regular suit and a pair of cloth shoes made of the soles of Mulana on his feet.

"Then who, you go and prepare some supplements such as bird's nest and ginseng, ten pieces of silk, and then go to the gold shop to find a skilled craftsman to build a gold lock, a pair of rings and a pair of foot rings, let the craftsman hurry up and get it, General Ben will want it at night!"

"Yes, General!"

Zhao Junsheng came to the office in the front yard of the Assassin's Mansion, Dongfang Chen and Pei Jin came out, and he waved his hand: "You guys go and get busy with yours, General Ben will deal with the backlog of official documents for more than two months!" ”

was busy until the evening, when Zhao Junsheng was busy, raised his arms and stretched his waist, got up and went back to the backyard to take his soldiers and gifts to visit Li Bao's wife and children.

"My subordinates have seen the general!" Li Bao opened the door and saw Zhao Junsheng take the gifts with his own soldiers, and hurriedly came out to greet him.

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "It's not in the office and outside, whatever!" By the way, your daughter-in-law gave birth, right? ”

"I gave birth, thanks to the general, and gave birth to a daughter! General please! Li Bao laughed so hard when he talked about the child he had just been born that he couldn't close his mouth.

Zhao Junsheng raised his feet and approached the courtyard, and saw a few people in the courtyard busy, and asked as he walked, "How many days have you been born?" ”

"It's just half a month so far!"

The two walked into the house through the courtyard while talking, Zhao Junsheng walked into the room and saw that Li Bao's wife was lying on the bed with a towel wrapped around her head for confinement, and Hua Mulan was actually there.

Jingxin saw that Zhao Junsheng was coming, and wanted to get up to salute, Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "No need to be polite, you can't blow the wind during confinement, lie down well!" How do you feel recovered? Is it easy to bring a child? ”

Jing Xin said: "The recovery is very good, but I feel very edible, and one day I stewed three big hens and ate them all!" ”

Zhao Junsheng smiled: "That's not bad, Mulan is better for you!" ”

When Mulan heard this, she immediately said: "How can it be compared, she is giving birth to a child, her body is too weak, and her body needs it!" ”

"I think so, sometimes I can even feel like eating a cow!" Jing Xin said with a smile.

Zhao Junsheng walked over and took the child from Mulan's hand, held it in his hand, looked at it, and said with a smile: "This child looks like her aunt." Li Bao, if this child looks like you, it will be miserable! ”

Everyone in the room laughed, and Li Bao touched the back of his head and smiled: "That's!" ”

Zhao Junsheng greeted the soldiers standing at the door: "Bring things in!" ”

Jingxin hurriedly said: "The general is here, and he will bring something."

"Give the child a golden lock, a pair of rings and a pair of foot rings, and some supplements and cloth or something, talk about your heart, make a few more clothes for the child, and I won't take a congratulatory gift when the moon wine is full, and then I will eat wine empty-handed!" After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he asked the soldiers to hand over the gifts to Li Bao.

Li Bao and his wife hurriedly expressed their gratitude.

Hua Mulan looked at Zhao Junsheng: "Brother Junsheng, you can do it, don't call me to buy gifts secretly, I still have to go to the street to buy them."

Zhao Junsheng hurriedly said: "How can I forget you, everything is ready for you." See the jade pendant on my waist? This is the gift for your baby, take it off and put it on her! ”

"That's pretty much it!" Hua Mulan said and bent down to take off the jade pendant from Zhao Junsheng's waist and looked at it, "The color and carving skills of this jade pendant are very good." Here, little baby, put it on your neck! As he spoke, he hung the jade pendant around the child's neck.

Li Bao and his wife Jingxin felt very embarrassed, and the things sent by Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan were too valuable.

"Okay, don't say any words of thanks, this is a piece of my heart with Mulan, you can't accept it!" Zhao Junsheng said and looked out of the room, "What, why don't you eat so late, I'm just here to eat!" ”

Li Bao patted his head: "Look at my memory, I will immediately ask them to serve the food and start the meal."

After returning to the Thorn Mansion next to Li Bao's house after dinner, Zhao Junsheng saw that Mulan had been yawning, so he said to her: "I haven't had much rest in the past two months of fighting, Mulan, you better go back to the room to rest early, recuperate and recuperate, and I will take you around to play tomorrow!" ”

"Alright then!" Hua Mulan also knew that she would lead the army back to Pingcheng in a few days, and she didn't know when she would meet Zhao Junsheng again, so she had to seize all the time to get along with him.

After Mulan left, Zhao Junsheng yawned and was about to go to sleep, but Pei Jin walked over quickly and said, "General, I was busy with official business during the day and forgot one thing." Seven days ago, the patrol team on the right Beiping side found some suspicious people, they came from the direction of Liaodong, but at that time, it was the Southern Dynasty army occupying Jieshi Mountain, their identity was very suspicious, the patrol suspected that they had two people in charge of the Yan State important people, so they reported to their subordinates here, but there were too many things for subordinates and Dongfang Chen, and they had no time to interrogate! ”

"Oh? Where are people locked up? ”

"I have been taken from Youbeiping to Jixian County, and I am currently in prison!"

"Let's go, go over and have a look!"

The two quickly took their soldiers to the prison, waiting for the jailer to escort a group of eight people to the duty room, Zhao Junsheng pointed at two of them dumbfounded: "Kou Tianshi, Cui Taichang, why are you?" ”
