In order to welcome the soldiers returning from the expedition, the emperor not only went to Yanziji to wait in person, but also the Zhengyang Gate in Nanjing was not closed on time for the first time, and after nightfall, it was also open for the soldiers returning from the expedition.

The standard of greeting was so high that the soldiers returning from the expedition never dreamed of it. Wang Guichen, Li Sangui, Mo Liang and others wore red flowers, rode high-headed horses, and followed Qin Mu's royal drive into the city.

Such a Nanjing is a city that never sleeps, and the lights on the streets are as brilliant as the Milky Way. The citizens of Nanjing who had eaten dinner poured into the Zhengyang Gate to welcome them, which can be described as an empty alley.

Wang Guichen and others, who were accustomed to the desolation of Nanhuazhou, suddenly faced this incomparably prosperous scene and the welcome of this sea of people, as if they were in a dream.

Wang Guichen and the others didn't have time to change into brand new military uniforms, and they didn't look so bright, but this did not affect the perception of the people in the capital;

"Look! Look! The one in front is General Wang Da, who destroyed Sulu and Bo Ni Kingdom! ”

"It's so powerful!"

"A good man should be like that!"

"Look at his inverted eyebrows, do you see? This is the appearance of a natural general! ”

"Your Majesty, what an honor!"

"General Wang is mighty!"

"General Wang, if the youngest one has a daughter, he will definitely promise it to you"

"Go, go, go! Don't look in the mirror either, look at you like this, even if you have a daughter, General Wang can't look down on it. ”

"Yay! That's uncertain, as the saying goes, bad bamboo shoots are good, if Liu Lao Liu really has a daughter, maybe his son looks like a fairy. ”

"Hahaha"

The streets are brightly lit. There are crowds of people on both sides of the road, and the cheers like waves make the whole city of Nanjing boiling. Qin Mu sat in the imperial chariot and did not show up, he deliberately reserved all the applause for the hard-working soldiers.

Wang Guichen rode a big horse, about ten steps behind the imperial chariot, and bunches of flowers flew on the side of the street, as well as fresh fruits, which overwhelmed him;

has been fighting against the wind and waves at sea for many years, and has experienced many hardships and obstacles, and how many times he has wandered on the edge of life and death. After many years of pioneering in a distant and desolate foreign land, how much bitterness I have tasted, this moment, in this wave of cheers, is worth it.

In the lively crowd, many women can be seen. Now Daqin has traffic all over the world, and a large number of women have to work in textile factories, embroidery workshops, and hospitals, and there is a Xiang concubine in the palace who is favored by the emperor as an example, and the social atmosphere is no longer so conservative. It is very common for folk women to meet on the street to play, go to the tea house to taste tea or watch operas and listen to music.

When you go fast to the thousand-step silhouette of Yujie. There were a few graceful women on the side of the street, some of whom pointed to Wang Guichen from a distance, frolicking.

"Don't push it!"

When Wang Guichen rode a horse and approached, a head was stuck in a silver and a phoenix hairpin in his heart. The girl wearing a goose-yellow sprinkled flower smoke shirt and a pink daffodil scattered green leaf skirt suddenly let out a crisp exclamation. was pushed and staggered, just hitting Wang Guichen's horse.

"Girl, are you alright?" Wang Guichen hurriedly bent down to support her, the girl raised her head, a pair of apricot eyes, thin eyebrows curved, skin like clotted fat, mantis head moth eyebrows are beautiful everywhere, but the pretty face is already red as if drunk, Wang Guichen was stunned for a moment.

"Thank you, General Wang!" The girl was ashamed, but she didn't run away immediately, she even dared to collect a picture in public, and without waiting for Wang Guichen's reply, she turned around and ran back, and got into a mess with her sisters.

The beauty has gone, the lingering fragrance is lingering, and Wang Guichen's heart is a little stunned. At this moment, one of the girls who were fighting suddenly shouted: "General Wang, our sister's surname is Chang, and her family lives in Dinghuaimen."

"Don't say it, don't say it, I'll twist you little girl!"

Wang Guichen pricked up his ears, and he didn't hear the words behind him, Qin Mu couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene on the imperial chariot.

Back in the palace, Qin Mu officially canonized Wang Guichen as the Duke of Huaguo, two great achievements in destroying the country, and opened up Nanhuazhou, which he deserved. Li Sangui and Mo Liang also had their own rewards, and they were all happy. There was another person who was enshrined with them, Su Jin.

Since Su Jin's expedition to the west, he has destroyed the three kingdoms of Kazakh, Burut and Blat, and opened up the central river region.

As soon as the canonization was completed, he received a message from Lanzhou: Guangde Hou Gao Yigong took the initiative to hand over his military power and invited himself to return to Beijing to be punished.

Hearing this news, Qin Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his hanging heart finally let go. The situation in Qinghai-Tibet is complicated, and once there is chaos, it will not be so easy to calm down. It is also a great blessing for the world to be able to resolve it peacefully.

Qin Mu was happy, and at the night banquet of the ministers in the Wuying Palace, Sima An, Liu Boquan, Liu Meng and other cabinet ministers, seven Shangshu, and most of the military governors were there.

The atmosphere at the banquet was warm, and after three rounds of wine, Qin Mu said: "My Huaxia benefits from Confucianism, and there are few other nations that can be compared with each other in terms of cohesion.

On the downside, this cohesion is generally inward-looking, and the pioneer king can easily be branded as a reckless soldier and a great achievement. Over time, there will be a situation in which there is more than enough to keep and not enough to develop.

However, throughout history, in fact, it is often impossible to open up, and it is not enough to keep it. It's like a lake, if there is living water, the surface of the lake must be overflowing, and if not, the lake will slowly dry up.

The same is true of a country, once it loses its ability to develop, the country will lose its vitality and will be unsustainable sooner or later. I opened up my territory and expanded my territory, not for the sake of reckless military force, but to properly maintain the vitality of our Great Qin.

Under the influence of Confucianism, I have a strong inward cohesion in China, and the motivation to expand outward is often insufficient, which has always been a matter of great concern for me. However, my ministers did not disappoint me, and my generals did a good job, and I hope that this vitality will continue. ”

When the ministers heard this, maybe not everyone agreed with Qin Mu's opinion, but no one would sweep the emperor's excitement at this time, so they got up and shouted: "My emperor Shengming, long live, long live, long live!" ”

Everyone also understands that the emperor gave Wang Guichen such a high treatment this time, presumably because he likes this pioneering spirit.

Qin Mu raised his glass again at this time, and said loudly: "Hua Guogong has opened up the territory for my Great Qin, and his hard work is high, come, please drink this cup with me!" ”

Wang Guichen hurriedly got up, held the cup and said: "Your Majesty, the minister does not dare to say anything, it is the blessing of the minister to be able to serve Daqin. The minister will do it first today! ”

After Wang Guichen finished speaking, he hurriedly drank his wine first, Qin Mu laughed, and also drank his wine, and then said: "Hua Guogong, you are also the eldest and not small, as the saying goes, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great." When Hua Guogong returned to Beijing this time, it was time to start a family. ”

"Your Majesty, this"

"What's this? Hua Guogong has a favorite woman? ”

"Nope"

As soon as he talked about marriage, Wang Guichen, who was decisive in killing, looked embarrassed, and his inverted eyebrows were bent down, and the ministers present couldn't help laughing.

Qin Mu smiled and asked again, "Yes or no?" ”

"Minister" Wang Guichen seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he couldn't help scratching his head, and everyone laughed again.

"Manly man, why bother to vomit, Wang Qing has a crush on the girl surnamed Chang? Our general, Wang, even played love at first sight, hahahaha"

"No, no, no, Your Majesty, that's not what you mean."

"That girl surnamed Chang is really beautiful and lovely, and she lives in Dinghuaimen" Qin Mu said this, deliberately stopped, glanced at Wang Guichen, and found that this guy was holding up his ears, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Since Wang Qing didn't mean that, then forget it?" ”

"Your Majesty, not a minister"

"Hahaha, I helped you inquire, the girl surnamed Chang is named Ruoying, who lives in Qiu Guifang in Dinghuai Gate, and her appearance is imprinted in your own mind, so I won't say much. However, this woman's idol is a female general like Mu Guiying, if Wang Qing marries her, whether she can control it depends on Wang Qing's ability, hahaha"

"Chang Ruoying?" Wang Guichen's mind was the scene of the girl rushing to his horse, a pair of inverted eyebrows jumping, and her eyes were bright and bright
