Chapter 530: Triumph
At the end of the year, the people everywhere in Yedu spontaneously organized themselves and put up lanterns, waiting to welcome the triumph of the prime minister.
Outside the palace, the Prime Minister's Mansion on Suzaku Street has been repainted, and the red lanterns are hung high, ready to welcome the master back to his home.
In the back house, in Qin Feng's big house, warblers and swallows, chirping, and babbling to learn to speak.
The hostess gathered here with her children, and the oversized bed that Qin Feng made for himself back then and used to sleep with the quilt had been occupied by a group of little guys.
At the end of 195 AD, Chu Feiyu and several other ladies each gave birth to children to Qin Feng, and he had six pairs of children.
When Qin Feng received the news on the front line, he sighed at the aphrodisiac medicinal diet prepared by the divine doctor Mr. Zhang Zhongjing.
At this moment, eleven little ones about one and a half years old are crawling around on the bed, scrambling for toys.
"Hey, second brother, don't rob the furry bear made by Siniang with the fourth sister! Third brother, what do you always do with this bell. If you want to be like your father, you will go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions in the future! The three-year-old eldest brother Qin Yan pulled out the wooden sword half a foot from his waist and waved it, he has now completely become a dutiful little nanny, taking care of his brothers and sisters.
Qin Feng, who had been on an expedition for nine months for a year, only had a vague figure left in Qin Yan's heart at this moment, but it was so tall.
"I must make the best clothes for my second son."
"Humph! My third son-in-law also wants it. β
The attendants muttered to each other.
After Qin Feng left, Chu Feiyu first gave birth to a son, and then Fu Shou, Diao Chan, Zhen Mi, and Mi Huan successively gave birth to a son for Qin Feng. The rest of the wives gave birth to a daughter. Since Qin Feng did not return, he did not have a name.
"Sister. My husband will be back in three days! "Madame Yue is in charge of the intelligence system under Qin Feng's command, so she is the most well-informed.
Cai Yan, who was dressed in fancy clothes, nodded deeply. The eyes were red, and it was hard to hide the excitement in my heart.
For nine months a year, the ladies were accustomed to the days when Qin Feng was away. However, when I heard the specific time of my husband's return, it seemed to be back to the moment of anxious waiting on the wedding night.
At this point, the ladies chattered and discussed.
However, there is one exception, and that is the newly arrived husband Yuna, who meditates alone on the side, her eyes are always on her six pairs of children.
At this time, Cai Yan got up and walked over. He smiled softly, "Mrs. Na......." β
When Fu Yuna came to Yedu, she began to become more restrained, because she knew that she was only the last of all the ladies and had no heirs. She became very worried because of this, she hurriedly got up, and said respectfully in very unskilled Chinese: "Sister......." β
This princess from Chenguo has only taken two months to be able to conduct daily conversations in Chinese. Cai Yan admired her intelligence very much and gently took her hand. Said: "This is your home, come, let's sisters ...... together." β
At this time, Huang Yueying, who had become a big girl, ran over first. Big eyes flickered, and said, "Sister Na, you can already speak Chinese." When will the language of Yueyingchen be taught? β
Cai Yan suddenly said: "Yueying can't be rude, you should call your uncle ......." β
Huang Yueying pouted. said: "Don't try to deceive Yueying, Yueying won't call your uncle." Don't even think about it! After she finished speaking, she walked back angrily, and said in her heart that Miss Ben wouldn't call the bad prime minister uncle, and then the seniority would be messed up, thinking that Miss Ben didn't know!
When she walked back, Chu Feiyu and the others got up to show their friendliness to her husband Yu Na.
"Look, everyone is waiting for you, there's nothing to worry about." Cai Yan said with a smile.
And when Fu Yuna came to the strange Yedu, she always thought in her heart that she had become a rootless duckweed. She remembered the terrible power struggle in the Han court, and she was only alone, so she was worried, and suddenly said: "Sister, my husband loves you the most." If you ...... one day, please ask your sister to promise your little sister and help your little sister's child become the morning king. After she said it, she began to regret and confide in her heart, and hurriedly said: "The Chen Kingdom is thousands of miles away, and it cannot be compared with the prosperity of the Han land...... β
How could Cai Yan not know the meaning of her husband Yu Na's words, she was full of pride in her man. At the beginning, no one, including herself, would have thought that Qin Feng would create a great cause that others could not achieve in their lifetime in just ten years.
"He has half of the blood of the Chen people in his body, no one will fight with him, and he and his descendants will guard the Han land for generations as the husband said. And what we have to do now is to live in harmony, and together, we will do our best to help my husband accomplish his ideal ....... Cai Yan said.
Fu Yuna finally smiled, and then, the ladies finally gathered together to discuss the preparations for the return of the husband.
β¦β¦
Yedu, Weiyang Palace.
The fifty-zhang tall Deyang Hall is covered by white snow, and the crystal icicles at the edges and corners reflect the light in the sun.
In the Deyang Palace, it is as warm as spring, and the one-armed Han Xian Emperor sits on the three-zhang high imperial platform. He pursed his lips and squinted his eyes as he stared at the hundred officials standing on the wide hall.
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister's expedition is about to return, and the Prime Minister has expanded the territory for my Han Dynasty, and has placed Chenguo County and Liaonan County, which is actually the first person in two hundred years. The imperial court should use the most solemn etiquette to welcome the triumph of the prime minister! Situ Kongrong said with his hands dancing.
As soon as he opened his mouth, more than eighty percent of the officials echoed. In the more than a year of Qin Feng's expedition, with Kong Rong as the leader, Lu Su, Zhuge Jin, Fa Zheng, Wang Lang, Hua Xin, and Liu Miao as auxiliaries, eighty percent of the officials have been gathered under Qin Feng's banner. They have long stopped taking the Han family seriously, and what they think about the most every day is when Qin can replace the Han.
However, Ma Riyan and Yang Biao led two percent of the officials, guarding the ethereal Han Zhongxing in their hearts.
Emperor Han Xian and Ma Riyan glanced at each other, got up weakly, his empty right sleeve swayed, he raised his left arm and said: "This matter is handed over to Ma Sikong to be responsible, and with the gift of a prince, welcome the triumph of the prime minister!" β
"Whoa!"
Hundreds of officials sent it off, and Emperor Han Xian went down to the court, when he turned around. The face is unwilling.
"The hateful Qin Zijin, he is getting stronger and stronger. No...... I can't sit still! "Emperor Xian of Han was the last emperor of the Han Dynasty in later generations, and his talents were better than many emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It's a pity that he was born at the wrong time. "What the hell should I do....... The hateful Qin Feng, the entire palace is his ....... β
Emperor Han Xian thought like this and came to the harem.
"Liu Xie! You rabbit cub, as soon as you eat and wipe it clean, you won't come to Changqiu Palace! At this moment, an angry roar came from the dormitory.
Emperor Han Xian's color changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly said to Chang Shi Dequan: "Go and sue Empress SΓΉ, just say that I have something to do, and I won't be able ......to come back for a while." "Finished. Emperor Han Xian hurriedly went to the side hall to hide, and when he didn't have a need, he would never see Queen Fan Tong.
β¦β¦
On the twenty-ninth day of the Eastern Han Dynasty, heavy snow shrouded the entire northland. The snow inside and outside Yecheng was swept very cleanly, as if the heavy snow had dissipated in mid-air.
Hundreds of people braved the cold wind and heavy snow, looking forward to it outside the city.
And the hundred officials, led by the three dukes, brought a team to greet them. He was already waiting ten miles away from Yecheng.
Dressed in solemn new court clothes, they talked a lot on the side of the road, with flags waving behind them and umbrellas like forests. At last. It's a group of musicians.
On the other side, led by Zhang Yan and Gao Shun, Li Dian and Le Jin, these generals did not participate in the expedition. With 5,000 carefully selected cavalry as a guard of honor. Dressed in fine armor and armed with sharp weapons. Stand and wait.
Half an hour later, a team of iron horsemen came in the snow. In the neighing of the horses, ten war horses stood up, and the first one shouted: "The prime minister returns to the court......." Before he finished speaking, he saw the team ride around and disappear into the military formation on the side of the road.
Then, in the distance of the avenue, a large team appeared.
Golden drums and copper horns bring out high-pitched and majestic music.
In this music, Qin Feng rode his horse slowly. Qin Feng, who had been absent for a year and nine months, finally saw the majestic figure of Yedu again, strange and familiar.
When the figure of the golden armor appeared, the hundred officials fell to the ground and shouted: "Welcome the prime minister back to the court...... β
"Congratulations to the triumph of the lord!" Five thousand soldiers dismounted in unison and bowed. Their eyes shone with a scorching light, and they were very envious of those companions who followed the lord on his expedition.
And the mood of the hundred officials was extremely complicated, and the officials headed by Kong Rong were excited. Because Qin Feng's expedition this time was successful, he eliminated Gongsun Zhan, accepted the Chen Kingdom, and conquered the vast prairie, each of which was a great achievement. The expansion of the territory for the Han Dynasty is a feat that has never appeared in hundreds of years.
Therefore, in their hearts, Qin Feng is a wise monarch who will surely achieve hegemony.
However, in the hearts of a few officials such as Ma Riyan, Qin Feng's credit was too great, and it was so great that it completely obscured the Han family. This is an extremely strict thing, because the world in the Eastern Han Dynasty was in chaos, and it was very dangerous for a courtier who could gather people's hearts and make great achievements at this time.
Ma Riyan and the others knew very well that with Qin Feng's power and prestige at this time, he could immediately depose the Han family with just a shout. Their hearts are anxious, but they are helpless about the current situation. They could only pray, praying that Qin Feng was a courtier like the Duke of Zhou.
"Prime Minister, His Majesty ordered us to come and should be triumphant, and His Majesty is already waiting in the palace for ......." Ma Riyan said respectfully.
Qin Feng just nodded, and then summoned Zhao Yun. He instructed Zhao Yun to bring the expeditionary force back to the military camp outside Yedu, and ordered the military discipline to be lifted for three days, but it was necessary to abide by local law and discipline.
After that, with the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, 100,000 expeditionary troops looked at the barracks.
And Qin Feng, under the guard of the tiger guard, led the hundred officials to return to Yedu.
When Qin Feng led hundreds of officials into Yedu, hundreds of thousands of people in Yedu welcomed him. This reminded Qin Feng of the scene when he returned to Luoyang after the Yellow Turban was exterminated. At that time, he was just a small lieutenant general with no military power, and now, he is a prince with hundreds of thousands of troops in the north.
"Congratulations to the Prime Minister!" Hundreds of thousands of people fell to their knees. They now have their own land, which is thousands or ten thousand times stronger than their previous life, they know that this hard-won life comes from there, and they sincerely welcome Qin Feng's return.
Qin Feng was born in New China and grew up under the red flag. Although he had to be a feudal monarch in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he wanted to be an enlightened monarch who loved the people. He dismounted and ascended to the head of the capital city.
When he looked down on the hundreds of thousands of people beneath the city, it was as if he overlapped with the thoughts of future leaders at this moment. "For the ...... of the people of China, it is ...... to live a happy life." Looking at those simple eyes, Qin Feng once again determined the goal he was striving for.
He stretched out his arms and shouted passionately: "The people of China, it is you who have raised a brave soldier for our people, and it is you who provide supplies for the soldiers. Without you there would be no victory in this expedition, without you...... There is no prosperous north, and there is no true appearance today! β
No monarch has ever said anything like this, and they have given credit either to their own wisdom or to their generals. Qin Feng, on the other hand, gave all the credit to the people. The people, and only the people are the cornerstone of victory, and they deserve it.
However, the officials, who were bound by feudal thinking, were shocked.
However, the people were boiling. They fanatically looked up at Qin Feng on the city tower, they had been working silently for thousands of years, but they were enslaved by the powerful. And today, for the first time, they are respected by a powerful man from above. At this time and in the future, they swore that they would pay a lot for this person.
"Long live the Prime Minister!"
"Hooray!"
"Hooray!" The people raised their fists, rough from industriousness, and shouted loud slogans as they raised them with all their might.
This cry resounded in the sky, and at this moment, Ye was boiling! (To be continued......)
