After staying in Yecheng, Chai Rong finally decided to return to the capital. The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty returned to the capital that had been away from for nearly a year. This was an extraordinary expedition, a brilliant victory, and a feat that was recorded in history!

His Majesty the Emperor first stabilized Youzhou and sent a surprise attack to burn Dading Mansion. The battle was successful and completely destroyed the power of the Khitan.

Then he led his army into Hedong and conquered the Northern Han.

The border troubles in the northern part of the Great Zhou were wiped out.

The two most difficult opponents, the Khitan, were crippled, and the Northern Han Dynasty was directly destroyed. Not to mention that the country was destroyed, even the Shatuo clan disappeared.

How can such a victory not make people ecstatic and admire you?

From ten days ago, Kaifeng officials and civilians were mobilized to go out to the streets, pad them with loess, clean them with clean water, and make sure to be clean. Wait until the day when the Holy Lord returns to Beijing.

Before it was bright, every household had come out, especially the residents along the street, who had set up a table and prepared wine, food, and decorated flowers on it.

Don’t worry about whether you eat or not, you need this pot of eating a pot of juice!

Kaifeng Prefecture also put an extra effort into it, and even bought a lot of colorful silks wrapped around the trees on the roadside, making them beautiful and colorful. All efforts were to make the emperor satisfied.

Several ministers led all officials out of the city to welcome him thirty miles away. The drums and music were noisy along the way, firecrackers were roaring, flags were flying, and crowds of people were crowded.

The scholars, soldiers and civilians were all dispatched. Wei Renpu silently planned to do this, and he did not believe that His Majesty the Emperor was not satisfied!

Sure enough, Chai Rong was surrounded by a group of generals, with great might and full of spirit. When he rode his horse by, the soldiers, civilians and the people shouted together, their voices shook the sky and the earth, like mountain torrents and tsunamis, with a magnificent momentum.

"This ceremony will cost not less, right?" Li Si rode on the horse and asked Ye Hua tentatively.

"At least this number!" Ye Hua stretched out a finger.

"One hundred thousand coins? Can it be?" Li Si expressed doubts.

Ye Hua chuckled, "Senior Brother, you are too polite. It's one million yuan, not counting the money spent by the people of each family!"

"Wow!"

Li Si's face changed drastically when he was frightened. He closed his mouth. He was still too conservative and had never seen much money.

According to Li Si's understanding, it seems that the court has not been very wealthy since Zhuliang. When Liu Zhiyuan marched from Jinyang to Kaifeng, he even had to pay out of his own pocket to reward the three armies.

During the five years of Guo Wei's reign, the Great Zhou Dynasty did make earth-shaking changes... At least the treasury began to have food storage and the people also had some money.

A ceremony to welcome the triumph alone cost one million yuan, and I really want to give up!

Li Si's mind was full of round square holes, and even the luxurious welcoming ceremony in front of him was too lazy to appreciate.

The important civil and military officials followed Chai Rong and arrived at the imperial city. The excited Chai Rong wanted to go to Taimiao first and talk to Guo Wei about how big the victory he had won this time, especially to tell Boss Guo, please rest assured that his father had already destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, wiped out the remnants of Shatuo, took it back to Hedong, and stabilized the northern border.

The son completed another father's last order.

Please rest assured, the child will have more good news to tell his father that one day, the Great Zhou will unify the world and create an unprecedented prosperous era.

Chai Rong placed the captured jade seal, dragon robe, dragon throne, and emperor's sword in front of Guo Wei's throne, so that his father's spirit in heaven could feast his eyes.

Then, he knelt in front of Guo Wei's spiritual throne and pondered. After a quarter of an hour, Chai Rong slowly walked out of the Taimiao. The grand and solemn ceremony ended.

Next is a banquet and celebration, and the king and his subjects are having fun together.

All of this is arranged by the Political Affairs Hall, and the word "careful" is everywhere.

As a newly promoted Hanlin bachelor, Li Si was fortunate to participate in the banquet in the imperial court. After watching it, he only had one conclusion: the Zhengshi Hall intended to please the emperor!

Thinking of this, Li Si couldn't sit still. He looked around and finally saw Ye Hua coming. He hurriedly stood up and took advantage of the opportunity to toast Ye Hua and whispered: "Junior brother, will Your Majesty be soft-hearted for a while and give up all the plans discussed on the road, or discount?"

Ye Hua shook his head, "Senior brother, don't worry, if it is so easy, it will be too easy to change Your Majesty's will, and it will be too slightest to underestimate the saints today. Your Majesty is following the flow and making the meritorious soldiers happy. Look, wait until Your Majesty eats it completely, and when you turn around, what should you do or what should you do!"

Li Si and Chai Rong had little contact. The most taboo thing for an emperor is to be fickle and be capricious. I hope Chai Rong is an emperor with firm will...

Facts have proved that Chai Rong would not really disappoint his ministers.

Now, the imperial banquet had just ended, and the next day, he called several of his husbands over.

Chai Rong's eyes were red, the blue veins on his forehead kept beating, and he looked exhausted. Wei Renpu tentatively said: "Your Majesty, this expedition is extraordinary. The soldiers, soldiers and civilians are exhausted. Should we rest and rest to calm the people's hearts?"

In other words, Your Majesty, please don’t bother for the time being?

Li Gu also stood up and said, "I told Your Majesty that my emperor's divine power and sacred virtue swept across the Hedong, and the remnants of Shatuo were gone. This merit was the most powerful in the world and shocked the past and present. All the ministers and scholars in the world have written documents. Will Your Majesty want to read it?"

Chai Rong chuckled, "Is it a praise of me?"

Li Gu hurriedly said flatteringly: "It is a sage to the saint, and this is also the duty of the ministers!"

Chai Rong didn't buy it, "The duty of a minister is to do good jobs, not flattery! I stayed in Yecheng for a while and found many problems! My Iron Cavalry of the Great Zhou can sweep the world and be invincible. However, the accumulated problems within our Great Zhou cannot sweep the iron cavalry with them. Especially the official style and administration are even more heartbreaking. The imperial examination was a ceremony for the selection of talents in the imperial court, but some people personally taught them to form cliques and use private tools!"

Chai Rong leaned against the dragon throne, and his murderous aura rose all over his body, making people afraid to look directly at him.

"If the order is sent, within seven days, I will re-evaluate all the ministers in Daqing Hall, especially the Jinshi in recent subjects. All of them must take the exam, and no one can be lost!"

Chai Rong paused and added: "Also, your political affairs hall should provide the official assessment as soon as possible. What have they done and whether they are responsible? If their political achievements are outstanding, I will promote them in an extraordinary way. If their political achievements are not satisfactory and their literary talent is acceptable, I will temporarily transfer to the Hanlin Academy. If their political achievements are not satisfactory, their talent and learning will be even worse! Even if the imperial examinations are bad, I will hold them accountable, and the officials will be dismissed, and the examiners will also investigate! Okay, you all go down and arrange it!"

After saying that, His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand and sent several of his husbands to leave without even leaving a chance to refute.

When I came back from the palace and arrived at the Political Affairs Hall, my husbands looked at me and I looked at you. It was so storm and rain. It was so cold and autumn!

As the saying goes, things are slow, they are smooth. They are thinking about holding a grand welcoming ceremony. Then all officials submit a letter, and scholars and subjects congratulate them together, and reward soldiers and amnesty the world... This process will take at least three or five months.

As time goes by, there will be a solution naturally.

The key is to let Your Majesty get rid of his anger, and then slowly try it out. The left and right are just a trick of using both soft and hard. As mature old fried dough sticks, they are still a little confident.

But who would have thought that Chai Rong was not fooled and did not give them any room to perform. Within seven days, the palace examination of all officials would be re-examined. How many people would be dismissed?

Wei Renpu is the most resourceful, and everyone sees him.

Old Wei pondered for a moment, "I guess I need at least one hundred people!"

"What?"

Li Gu stood up in shock, "Brother Wei, are you kidding?"

"Of course not. Mr. Li. The scope of retrying that Your Majesty said is the last three subjects. I calculated that the number of people admitted to these three subjects is about 130, of which about 80% of the children of aristocratic families! That is more than 100!"

Li Gu's mouth twitched twice, and he did not agree: "Your Majesty will not be dismissed, will you?"

Xue Juzheng also said: "There are some of the talents that are not worthy of use. I think it is enough to dismiss twenty or thirty people, which is also a lesson for them! If hundreds of people are dismissed, who will do things for the court? What should I do if the vacant position is taken?"

Wei Renpu sneered, "You go and tell Your Majesty this principle, I can't help you anyway!" He suddenly stood up and knocked on the table and said, "Even if Your Majesty wants to open up the Internet and live a life of one thing, can that kid agree?"

Li Gu changed his color and said, "Why is Mr. Wei talking about the champion? "

"Hmph, who else can there besides him!" Wei Renpu said politely: "The so-called clay man has three parts of earth. He first attacked Fu Yanqing, and then made a fuss about Master Feng! One is his father-in-law, and the other is a master who just died! It's unbearable! You don't know how cruel that boy Ye Hua is... He and the people of the aristocratic family are. If he doesn't let him vent this anger, this matter will never end. Even an official like you and me may not be able to withstand it! Don't forget that Mr. Fan is also in Yecheng this time, and he is honest and dares not say anything!"

Li Gu and his men looked at each other, all of them showing bitter expressions. Is there really nothing they can do?

"I said to Brother Wei, I sent the memorial to impeach Fu Yanqing in the court, but you nodded... Now that we have reached this point, you can't stand by and watch!" Li Gu hummed angrily.

Seeing that the spearhead turned to him, Lao Wei's face turned red, but he was not a vegetarian.

"I always follow the rules. If you don't accept it, please write a letter to impeach him and ask His Majesty to dismiss me!"

Li Gu has always admired Wei Renpu's talent and decision, and he begged, "Mr. Wei, you can think of a solution. Our home is probably full of people at this moment, all of which are related to their relatives. You can't give them an explanation!"

Wei Renpu struggled a little, but he knew it. He couldn't escape by calculating Fu Yanqing. At this time, he didn't want to turn back quickly. If he took another step forward, it would be a cliff!

Chai Rong is not Guo Wei, and he will not tolerate himself to the limit!

Old Wei gritted his teeth!

"Mr. Li, Mr. Xue, you have many relatives, and I can't help you!"

After saying this, Wei Renpu actually said goodbye directly, left the Political Affairs Hall, and went back to the house. Sitting in the carriage, Wei Renpu was also secretly happy. In the past, I was born in a humble origin, and I was not from a Jinshi. You joined forces to bully me. Now the fire is on you, don’t blame me for watching the fun!

As soon as Wei Renpu arrived at the mansion, he found that the house was particularly lively. The old butler stood at the door and said happily: "Prince, the young master is back from Yecheng!"
