Invincible son

Chapter 594 593 [Samurai's Sword]

"Your Majesty ordered that Pei Yue, Marquis of Xuan Zhongshan, enter the palace immediately without delay."

The high-pitched voice of the internal supervisor echoed in Qingyun Pavilion, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay during the banquet.

Pei Yue bowed to receive the order, feeling a little curious in his heart.

He is not an important minister of the two governments, he does not need to be a counselor for important affairs of the government, and there has been no disturbance in the capital recently, why did Emperor Kaiping send someone to summon him in such a hurry, and even needed to rush to Xianyun Village, which is more than [-] miles away from the city?

Over there, King Yan stood up and asked with a smile: "Although Pei Yue is a distinguished guest invited by the king, the emperor did not dare to stop him. You all know whether you can tell the king why you are so urgent. ?”

The inner eunuch saluted respectfully, with a flattering smile on his face, and replied: "It's a great event to return to the prince."

"Oh? What happy event?"

"Marshal Tang, Marshal Tang, the Marquis of Jining, returned to the capital. Today he arrived at the Gulin Station, and he will enter the capital tomorrow morning. Our Daliang soldiers have won so many battles and captured countless prisoners. A grand celebration will definitely be held. The servants are here to summon the Marquis of Zhongshan, There are also people who go to other lords' residences, His Majesty is waiting in Liangyi Hall now, waiting for the lords to go to discuss matters."

King Yan was overjoyed when he heard the words, turned his head and said to Pei Yue: "Sure enough, it's a happy event, you should go back to Beijing quickly, I don't want my father to wait too long."

Pei Yue cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, my lord, for your hospitality."

The two looked at each other, smiled at each other, and said nothing.

After nodding with Fu Daoyun, Chen An and others, Pei Yue left Qingyun Pavilion with Pei Ning and others.The inner eunuch did not dare to urge too much, because he knew better than those proud literati the weight of this young dignitary in the emperor's heart, especially that the almost invincible cavalry who had traversed the western region finally returned to the capital, which meant that Pei Yue had The position in the military has become more and more stable.

After Pei Yue left, Qingyun Pavilion suddenly became quiet.

King Yan looked around, and said with a smile: "All talents, this king suddenly has an idea."

Everyone sat upright and listened attentively.

Yan Wang said with great interest: "Xianyun Review has never set restrictions, as long as the participants' own masterpieces can participate in the evaluation. This is because I know that excellent works are rare, and it depends on both talent and opportunity. I never thought about this year's literary fair. It just happened to happen that the army was triumphant, so how can such a grand event not be recorded in poetry? What do you guys think?"

The last sentence was about the seven great scholars beside him.

Fu Daoyun, as the leader of Wen Dao who was present today, nodded and smiled after thinking for a while: "It should be so."

The King of Yan got up and said, "Then I would like to ask all of you well-educated scholars to write praises for the victory of the Daliang War. One is not limited to propositions, and the other is not limited to rhymes, or poems or words, or prose. The time is limited to two hours. Then start writing in this Qingyun Pavilion. Come here, remove the banquet and replace it with the four treasures of the study!"

Regardless of whether they were willing or not, the expressions on their faces were full of joy, because this was not only related to Yan Wang's face, but also an unstoppable trend. Who would dare to spoil the interest of the government and the public at this juncture?
It's just that some literati who have just made a lot of noise can't help but feel extremely aggrieved when they think that singing the praises of the great victory must not avoid the person who made the first contribution, Pei Yue.

In this troubled world, the ruler of a literati cannot compare with the sword of a warrior after all.

……

Imperial City, Liangyi Hall.

Emperor Kaiping was in high spirits, and even his tone of voice was a little more exciting than usual.

Before he ascended the throne, Daliang had always been on the defensive against Western Wu, and the people of Lingzhou were living in dire straits.Since he succeeded to the throne, he first relied on Dingguo Duke Pei Zhen to win Hucheng, and last year he defeated the army of more than [-] troops from the Three Routes of West Wu, achieving a victory rarely seen in decades.Such achievements are enough to make him famous in history. As a king, isn't it just a fame before and after his life?

Wang Pingzhang and others expressed their opinions, and after some discussion, they decided that Tang Youzhi, Marquis of Jining, would lead the returning soldiers to enter from the west gate of Kyoto tomorrow, and Wang Pingzhang and Mo Haoli would go out of the city to welcome the emperor on behalf of the emperor.

Then the army went to Taimiao, where Emperor Kaiping held a ceremony of presenting victories and prisoners to comfort the emperors of Daliang.

Finally, a military parade ceremony was held on the square in front of the imperial city, and meritorious ministers were rewarded in public.

In fact, these procedures have long been discussed and determined by the Xifu and the Ministry of Rites, and now they are just a formality, including the finalization of the awards for all soldiers.The important ministers in the palace knew in their hearts that today they mainly came to sing praises to His Majesty the Emperor.

Amidst all the singing, Pei Yuedeng, who had been listening silently since he came in, looked a little unique.

Emperor Kaiping was in a good mood today, and his attitude towards Pei Yue was much gentler than usual. He asked with a faint smile, "Pei Yue, what do you think about tomorrow's grand ceremony?"

Pei Yue bowed slightly and said: "Return to Your Majesty, the arrangement of your lords is very appropriate, and I have no objection."

Emperor Kaiping nodded, and said: "You are the minister who made the first contribution to the victory of the Western Army, so naturally you can't miss this celebration. How about this, you will go out of the city to find Tang Youzhi now, and lead the army into Beijing with him tomorrow."

Wang Pingzhang frowned.

Gu Liang said loudly: "Your Majesty is wise."

Pei Yue was surprised, the old emperor is going to put himself on the fire?In fact, after he was granted the title of Marquis and promoted to Deputy Commander of the Beiying, he was already satisfied, and he could act in a low-key manner on occasions like tomorrow when he was in the limelight.But since Gu Liang immediately reminded him in his own way, Pei Yue couldn't resign firmly, so he had to thank En for accepting the order.

After standing in the palace for half an hour, Pei Yue hurriedly led a dozen or so soldiers out of the city to Gulin Post in the west.

At sunset, the temporary camp of the Western Army was already in sight.

Outside the camp, a row of young generals waited nervously and eagerly.

When Pei Yue came close, they knelt down on one knee almost at the same time, clasped their fists and said loudly: "The last general pays homage to Lord Hou!"

Pei Yuefei got off his horse and looked over one by one, seeing the reverent expressions on everyone's faces, couldn't help but let out a very rare comforting laugh since returning to Beijing, and said with emotion: "Get up."

Headed by Wei Rui, from left to right are Tang Linfen, Fu Hongzhi, Chen Xianda and Meng Longfu.

These are the five commanders of Zangfengwei, they support the skeleton of this invincible cavalry.

It is also the sharpest knife in Pei Yue's hand.

After talking about parting, Pei Yue asked with a smile: "Did my two elder brothers return to Beijing with the army?"

Wei Rui replied: "Back to Lord Hou, Qin and Xue are in the camp, but Brother Qin said that he is not yet a member of the Zangfengwei, so he refuses to take our chance, and we will talk to Hou later. See you later."

Pei Yue said helplessly: "Brother is really stubborn, but it doesn't matter, we will all be comrades after tomorrow."

Chen Xianda asked excitedly: "Master Hou, did His Majesty really order you to be the Deputy Commander of the Beiying?"

Fu Hongzhi next to him joked: "You have been asking about this all the way, do you think that our Hou Ye became the deputy commander, and you can also get a commander?"

Everyone laughed.

Pei Yue raised his hand and nodded to the red-faced Chen Xianda, then looked at Wei Rui and asked, "Where is Marshal Tang now?"

Wei Rui replied: "The commander-in-chief is in the tent of the Chinese army. He has already prepared food and wine. After Lord Hou has seen us, he will send someone to invite us."

Of course Pei Yue understands the reason why Tang Youzhi did this. Everyone knows the importance of Zang Fengwei to him. The first thing must be to appease these strong men under his command. No.

After asking everyone about Zang Fengwei's recent situation, Pei Yue said, "I'm going to see Marquis Tang, you go back to Zang Fengwei's residence first."

"Follow the order!"
