Luo Zhaoyun returned to Luoyang, the eastern capital, and the civil and military officials and the people went out of the city to welcome the emperor's class back to the dynasty and returned triumphantly.

Some ministers, the eldest grandson Shunde, Wen Boyan, Gao Shilian, Xin Gongyi, etc., servants, Shangshu, Shilang, there are more than 20 people, all of whom are first-class members of the imperial court, who came to Luoyang with the emperor a few months ago, and temporarily worked here to make all kinds of arrangements for the front-line campaign.

Now that Luo Zhaoyun has returned to Beijing in triumph, these ministers are all excited and happy, because the southern rebellion has been pacified, the Jianghuai army has been crushed, Jianghuai and Jiangnan have been taken by the imperial court, the north and the south are unified, and the world is about to be decided.

"Welcome Your Majesty, return triumphantly!"

"Long live my emperor, long live!"

The ministers and the people shouted, kneeling on the ground.

Luo Zhaoyun felt the greetings and worship of the officials and the people, and suddenly felt that there was a sense of luck in his body.

The importance of the country and the society, the congratulations of all the people!

made Luo Zhaoyun's heart surge, but he felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

After that, any decision may affect the livelihood and lives of thousands of people, and we must not relax and forget our original intention.

"Let's all be flat!"

Luo Zhaoyun opened his mouth and asked the ministers and people to get up, and the scene was enthusiastic.

Next, the emperor's motorcade entered the city, and on the streets, more than 100,000 people greeted them, and the gongs and drums were noisy and lively.

"The Son of Heaven is back."

"It is said that this time, Your Majesty drove a personal expedition, defeated the Jianghuai army, captured Du Fuwei alive, pacified Jiangnan, and the world will be peaceful."

"Yes, the world is going to be peaceful, and the good days of the people are coming."

"It's all Your Majesty's merit!"

The people stood on both sides of the street, welcoming and discussing, all singing the praises of His Majesty's achievements and merits.

.........

Luo Zhaoyun returned to the palace and immediately summoned the civil and military officials, and the monarch and ministers wanted to share the joy of this victory.

Gao Shilian arched his hand and said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, this time the royal drive is personally conquest, with the power of thunder, turning the tide of the war, turning defeat into victory, defeating the Jianghuai army, capturing Du Fuwei alive, and pacifying Jiangnan, since then the north and south are under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and the world is about to complete the unification and restore the territory of the previous dynasty." ”

The eldest grandson Shunde said: "Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice, rich in grain production, since the war, the grain in the south can not be transported to Guanzhong and Hebei, resulting in rising prices in the north, the food supply is insufficient, many people are starving, this time Jianghuai and Jiangnan are stable, back to the jurisdiction of the imperial court, since then the price of rice in the north can also be reduced." ”

"Yes, the north and the south are unified, the world is decided, Your Majesty's merits directly catch up with the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, and then implement the new policy, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the prosperity of the new court will soon surpass the previous dynasty." Xin Gongyi also stood up and praised.

"The world is peaceful, the blessing of the people!"

At this time, the ministers of civil and military affairs did not hesitate to praise words, wise and martial, meritorious and so on, and the atmosphere of congratulations from the whole dynasty.

There is no doubt that Luo Zhaoyun's momentum and prestige have reached another peak!

Luo Zhaoyun saw that the praise procedure was almost complete, and no matter how many people were about to float, he said: "In this, in addition to my merits, in fact, our front-line soldiers, fighting bloody battles and killing the enemy bravely, are also one of the success factors. In addition, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, in the rear to ensure military supplies and scheduling, united as one, the court twisted into a rope, the force to a place, will have this situation, therefore, I can't take all the credit, but all the front-line meritorious soldiers, as well as the court's meritorious ministers, should be rewarded! ”

After listening to this, everyone was a little happy in their hearts, all the ministers didn't want the emperor to be too stingy, or too complacent, such as Emperor Yang of Sui, who always liked to put all the credit on himself, so that those who really contributed could not get a big reward. Although Emperor Wen of Sui doesn't like to take credit, he is more stingy and will not have too many rewards.

Luo Zhaoyun wants to change the situation of the previous dynasty, not let the meritorious ministers chill, and the rewards and punishments are clear, which is one of the basic elements that the superior must do.

"The Privy Council and the Ministry of War are responsible for providing the ranking of meritorious generals of the military, and the Shangshu Province and the Ministry of Officials jointly draw up a list of meritorious officials of the imperial court, and finally I personally review and approve it, and the Huangmen Shilang of the Ministry of Men is responsible for drafting the proposed decree!"

"Your Ministers obey!" The heads of the departments who were named all stood up to receive the will.

Luo Zhaoyun also said: "For the thirty-six people who have made the greatest contribution to the founding of the country, I am ready to let the Hanlin Academy write a monument and erect a biography, add an additional stroke in the history books, and put it into the Lingyan Pavilion that I set up at the beginning. ”

When the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs heard this, all of them were hairy, and their blood was boiling, and the thirty-six places, once they entered, they would enjoy great glory, and they would be famous in history, and they would be heavy!

However, many people quickly shook their heads and lost confidence, because most people, knowing that their merits are limited, and they are destined to be shortlisted without any unique and dazzling achievements.

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Some of the people who were hopeful of being selected naturally all became excited, chanting His Majesty's sage.

"Okay, let's start today's pilgrimage here, come back from a long journey, a little tired, plan to repair in Luoyang for ten days, enter the moon, start to return to Chang'an City, spend Chinese New Year's Eve in Chang'an, go back to reunite with your family, enjoy the first Chinese New Year's Eve of the new dynasty's stability, and next year the world will be completely peaceful." Luo Zhaoyun said with emotion.

The ministers agreed, and they all wanted to return to Chang'an City, after all, there were their families, ancestral homes, ancestral halls, etc.

The world is about to be peaceful, this year's Chinese New Year's Eve, destined to be different, the big seal reward, the entire Chang'an City will celebrate lively, no one wants to miss such a prosperous face.

After retiring from the dynasty, the civil and military ministers came out in groups, walked out of the palace, talked and laughed with each other, and their faces were full of joy and expectation.
