As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 312 Loyalty
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Wenzhuo lifted up his robe and stood up, saying loudly: "This time, I am here to give the Emperor two birthday gifts on behalf of my grandfather. One is the latest military report from Northern Hebei - my grandfather and his second uncle are divided into two groups. Attack the Turks from both sides and win."

"More than 2 cattle, sheep, and horses were seized, and [-] enemy troops were captured, including the princesses and princes of the Eastern Turkic royal court."

"Seriously?" Emperor Xuanwu Long Xin was delighted: "Hurry up and submit the military report!"

"Yes!"

Chen Wenzhuo took out the military report written by King Zhongshan and handed it to the eunuch.

Then the eunuch trotted all the way to Emperor Xuanwu. When Emperor Xuanwu read the military report, his face was red and he laughed loudly: "Okay! It's my Great Qin's Dinghai Shenzhen!"

The Great Qin State was initially decided, but the surrounding countries were still eyeing it, and the Turkic cavalry outside northern Hebei was even more of a danger.

King Chen Xian of Zhongshan was stationed in northern Hebei. He had been confronting the Turks for many years and fought many battles, large and small. However, this was the first time he had achieved such a big victory. How could Emperor Xuanwu not be happy!

Chen Wenzhuo knocked his head on the ground, "Because I have been traveling for days, my appearance is really messy. Please forgive me!"

Why would Emperor Xuanwu care about this now?
He waved his hand and said: "Get up quickly - you have worked hard day and night to report to the army. It is really hard for me to reward you."

After saying this, he immediately ordered someone to sit near the Yulong Terrace. After Chen Wenzhuo took his seat, Emperor Xuanwu asked about the battle situation, casualties, etc.

Chen Wenzhuo reported them one by one.

The ministers in the DPRK could not sit still anymore. They stood up one by one and praised the king of Zhongshan for his strength, his military skills, and the pillar of the country.

There are many kind words piled up.

Some courtiers secretly thought that the King of Zhongshan was really a powerful figure. The Chen family in the capital was wiped out. He had waited quietly for so long and did nothing, but he gave such a grand gift at the birthday banquet of Emperor Xuanwu!
This clear distinction between public and private affairs, and unparalleled loyalty.

For such a person, if Emperor Xuanwu did not treat him with courtesy from the Chen family, how could he be able to block the opinions of all the civil and military officials and the people of the world?

Xie Zhaozhao glanced at Yun Qi and saw that Yun Qi had a calm and indifferent expression as he took a cup of tea and took a sip.

Xie Zhaozhao thought that maybe he knew that Northern Hebei had won the battle, so he said "I didn't have a few days to spare" that day.

The Chen family was already very important, and now that they have won the battle, it is even more important. Even if the prince of the current dynasty personally comes to comfort him, the Chen family can afford it.

However, the prince who presides over court affairs will not leave the capital unless there is something important.

As the eldest son of the crown prince and the eldest grandson of the emperor, Yun Qi was naturally the best choice.

"Who is this Chen Wenzhuo? Do you know who he is from the Chen family?" Xie Jiajia leaned over and asked in a low voice, "What is his relationship with this person in our house?"

"I know something." Xie Zhaozhao replied: "He is Miss Chen's brother."

"Honey?"

"Yes...it doesn't count. Chen Wenzhuo and Miss Chen are not from the same mother. They were born to Chen Zhiyuan's first wife. Later, Chen Wenzhuo's mother passed away, and Chen Zhiyuan married Miss Chen's mother. Then Miss Chen's mother also passed away. , Chen Zhiyuan married his third wife."

"What?" Xie Jiajia was surprised: "Then this Chen Zhiyuan is quite a waste of his wife."

Yu looked over at this time.

Xie Jiajia quickly smiled and pursed her lips, making a silent gesture to Xie Zhaozhao.

Xie Zhaozhao had no intention of saying anything more and carefully looked at the reactions of the courtiers.

At this time, Xie Wei stood up and showered the King of Zhongshan with praises and compliments. He was really generous and didn't even repeat them for a while.

Some ministers looked a little subtle when they saw Xie Wei praising King Zhongshan like this.

But Xie Wei didn't realize it at all, and he praised with sincerity and sincerity, "King Zhongshan is really a model military general of our Great Qin. He has almost never lost in countless battles, big and small, over the years. He deserves to be the undefeated God of War of our Great Qin!"

Emperor Xuanwu laughed, "You, you, so many years have passed.

Xie Zhaozhao secretly thought that his father was definitely capable of being a sycophant.

Look at this face that is not red and out of breath.

The key is that the dough is thick enough.The relationship between the Chen family and the Xie family was tense and sensitive due to the ownership of Yun Qi's marriage.

At this time, the Chen family is so blessed with the Sacred Heart. If Emperor Xuanwu is happy, maybe the marriage of Chen Shulan and Yun Qi, which has been postponed for several years, can be put back on the schedule.

However, the Xie family has just returned to Beijing, and the positions of Xie Wei and the eldest son have not yet been decided.

At this juncture, Xie Wei was not nervous or worried, but instead praised Zhongshan King for being sincere, straightforward and generous.

Even with this kind of mind, ordinary civil servants and generals cannot achieve it.

"That's right." Emperor Xuanwu said with a smile on his face: "Wenzhuo, you just said that there are two birthday gifts. What is the other one and where is it?"

"The other one...is in Wei Chen's arms."

Chen Wenzhuo showed hesitation on his face. Under the sight of Emperor Xuanwu and the officials, he took out an oil paper bag from behind the soft armor in his arms and handed it out with both hands.

The great eunuch Li Eunuch stepped forward to take it and brought it to Emperor Xuanwu. After Emperor Xuanwu opened it and took a look, the smile on his face gradually faded and his expression became a little complicated.

That's a meatloaf.

Chen Wenzhuo was a little nervous.

Although this birthday gift was specially ordered by King Zhongshan and must be delivered, Chen Wenzhuo was still afraid of the monarch's power and was deeply afraid that such an inexplicable birthday gift would arouse the anger of Emperor Xuanwu.

The courtiers looked at me and me, curious and puzzled.

Only a few veterans who had followed Emperor Xuanwu for many years knew the reason for the meat pie.

For a long time, Emperor Xuanwu looked at the meat pie with a distant look, "I think it was a piece of meat pie like this that saved my life."

Xie Zhaozhao had heard Xie Wei talk about this matter before.

Emperor Xuanwu failed to achieve anything significant in the two years after he led the rebellion. Instead, he was pursued by the previous court as rebellious officials and traitors. One day, he was blocked in the mountains and wanted to shoot them with random arrows.

Fortunately, a flash flood suddenly broke out, and the officers and soldiers of the former government had to evacuate, thinking that the flash flood would kill those rebels.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Xuanwu and others were lucky enough to escape the disaster.

In order to preserve their strength afterwards, they had to linger in the mountains for a long time.

It was already autumn at that time, and the mountains were wet and cold. Everyone was injured and had no food rations. However, they were all too sick to get up in a few days.

It was Chen Xian, the king of Zhongshan, who risked being caught and went to a small town dozens of miles away at night, dragging his wounds to find food for everyone.

Emperor Xuanwu was the most seriously injured at that time. He ate the only beef cake, and the others were all black-faced steamed buns.

This friendship is extremely deep.

But Xie Zhaozhao was a little confused as to what King Zhongshan wanted to do by sending such a gift at this time.

Remind Emperor Xuanwu of his life-saving grace?
I'm afraid the superiors are most tired of this type of reminder.

The King of Zhongshan felt that he was not such a stupid person, or was he now that he was old and confused?

No - this meat pie was delivered with the military newspaper.

The military report of victory is like a timely rain, just like the meat pie was like a timely rain.

Perhaps the King of Zhongshan used this meat pie to show his loyalty and tell Emperor Xuanwu that he is as dedicated to surrender and serving the country now as he was then?
Xie Zhaozhao couldn't help but shake his head.

The details of the dispute between these high-ranking people are really confusing and confusing.

Yun Qi looked at the meat pie with a slightly gloomy expression.
