1035. The emperor returns to the city

"Why didn't you see your father come back?"

As soon as he arrived in Zhu's mansion, Mrs. Zhu asked the two brothers nervously.

Zhao Dongting asked Hong Wutian, Zhu Zongyao and others to go to war with Zhang Hongwei, Liu Zhuwen and others, so naturally these things would not come to discuss with Mrs. Zhu.

He is the emperor after all.

If these things come to discuss with Mrs. Zhu, then you won’t have to do other things every day.

Zhu Hecong said repeatedly: "Don't worry, my mother, my father is safe and sound, but he followed the army to Dali to fight."

He did not dare to tell Mrs. Zhu about Zhu's injuries in Yongzhou.

Because he knew that if he talked about his father's injury, his mother would have to worry. And this must be something that his father would not want to see.

People at home always care about their relatives outside, but people outside often don’t want their family members to worry too much.

This is human nature.

Mrs. Zhu listened, and her face was still a little worried, and she said, "Dajun still wants to fight Dali?"

Zhu Haiwang smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry, hundreds of thousands of troops from Dali came to attack our Song Dynasty, and they were all destroyed in our Song Dynasty. Now there is no more military force in Dali. My father is following our Song Dynasty Imperial Guard. He is good at fighting. With his father's martial arts cultivation, there will definitely be no accidents."

"oh……"

Mrs. Zhu finally felt a little relieved, but she couldn't help but say, "I really hope this battle will be finished soon..."

No matter which country it is, the people are actually unwilling to fight. Like Mrs. Zhu, they just want to live a peaceful life.

Zhu Haiwang said: "It's almost over, this battle is about to be over."

On the way back from Yongzhou, they already knew that Zhang Jue had won a great victory at Jiumao Pass and sought peace in the Yuan Dynasty.

This big battle that affected several countries is really coming to an end.

The family talked and walked, and soon arrived in the main hall.

Mrs. Zhu had to hold the hands of the two children to ask about their well-being and ask about their experience in the army.

Zhu Qingci and Zhu Qingfeng sisters also listened with their ears on their backs.

Zhu Haiwang and Zhu Hecong brothers were naturally relaxed. They said how they defeated the enemy in Yongzhou and Hengshan Village.

Those pains are hidden in my heart.

Even now, when it comes to military affairs, there are still many faces passing through their minds.

Fan Yunpeng, Mao Xingyan, Zhu Mingyan and others from Yongzhou were all men who stood upright. But they were eventually killed on the battlefield.

The Song Dynasty is about to win, but not everyone can share this joy.

"lady!"

Not long after, the housekeeper in the mansion hurried to the main hall and said to Mrs. Zhu: "The imperial envoy has arrived in the palace."

Mrs. Zhu was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly took Zhu Haiwang, and the two of them walked out of the mansion with Zhu Hecong.

Before he was outside the mansion, he saw Eunuch Liu bringing in with a few eunuchs. Eunuch Liu smiled.

Zhu Haiwang and Zhu Hecong were in the imperial study for many years and knew Eunuch Liu naturally. He hurriedly said, "Eunuch Liu."

Mrs. Zhu also bowed, "I am not polite when my father-in-law comes, but I am not able to leave the house to greet you."

"You are kind to me, madam."

Eunuch Liu replied with a smile, his eyes falling on Zhu Haiwang and Zhu Hecong’s brothers, “Our family will congratulate the two young men first.”

Then he took out a roll of yellow and orange imperial edict from his sleeve.

He smiled unceasingly and shouted loudly: "Zhu Hecong, Zhu Haiwang received the order..."

The Zhu family members quickly fell to their knees on the ground.

Eunuch Liu opened the imperial edict and said, "Subordinate to heaven... Zhu Haiwang and Zhu Hecong's two deputy commanders were in Yongzhou. Hengshanzhai defeated the Li army of Yue and the Dali army. They sacrificed their lives and were virtuous. Their courage was commendable, and their plans were commendable. I am glad that there were such talented people in the court. I am now rewarded with the two deputy commanders..."

There were a series of rewards followed, mostly precious medicinal herbs and treasures in the palace.

After reading it, Eunuch Liu rolled up the imperial edict again and said, "Which deputy commander will accept the imperial edict?"

Everyone in the Zhu family bowed and thanked him.

Zhu Haiwang stepped forward to receive the imperial edict.

Eunuch Liu smiled and said, "The Empress said that the two deputy commanders have just returned home, so they will rest at home first and do not rush to enter the palace to report their lives."

Zhu Haiwang and Zhu Hecong were both a little surprised when they heard this.

They had just planned to wait at home for a while, so they rushed to the palace to report their lives immediately.

When Eunuch Liu saw their appearance, he said again: "The emperor has gone to Chenzhou, and he has not yet rushed back to the imperial city."

This is not a secret in the court. Even if he doesn't say it, Zhu Haiwang and Zhu Hecong will know it soon.

Because they returned with military merits, someone would come to visit soon. Now they didn't come, they just thought they would go to the palace to report their lives.

Zhu Haiwang and Zhu Hecong were even more shocked.

They knew that Chenzhou was a great victory, but they didn't know that the emperor had actually gone to Chenzhou in person.

Zhu Haiwang looked at the imperial edict in his hand and asked, "Dad father-in-law, then this imperial edict..."

Eunuch Liu said: "This imperial edict was written by the Queen."

Then he stopped talking and said, "We won't bother you much, we will go back to the palace to report our lives first."

He also had many things to do in the palace, and he could not stay here for too long. Usually, he didn't need to promulgate the imperial edict at all.

This time he came to Zhu's mansion, Le Chan specifically explained the truth. Because Eunuch Liu was the most favored eunuch in front of Zhao Dongting, his arrival in person made it more obvious that the emperor attaches importance to the Zhu brothers.

"It's a good father-in-law."

The Zhu family was busy sending Eunuch Liu and his party to the gate of the mansion.

As soon as Eunuch Liu and his party left, there were indeed many officials who had some contact with the Zhu family, and wealthy businessmen came to visit.

The Zhu family was very lively for a while.

Some people even brought all the female family members in their homes.

Although there is no mention of marriage, his thoughts are already very obvious.

I brought all the younger generations in the family just to let them get to know each other with Zhu Haiwang and Zhu Hecong brothers, so that they would have the opportunity to get close to each other in the future.

This is the way of the world.

Speaking of which, it is similar to being poor in the downtown area and having distant relatives in the mountains.

If Zhu Haiwang, Zhu Hecong died in Yongzhou, or failed to make military achievements, then the Zhu Mansion would not be as lively as it is now.

None of the wealthy businessmen dared to bring the young handsome guy from their families to come.

This is entirely because everyone thought that Zhu Qingfeng and Zhu Qingci had some relationship with the emperor. With the appearance of the two sisters, it was a matter of time before they entered the palace.

I don’t know what Zhao Dongting would think if he heard about this.

Although he saved the lives of the two sisters, he really did not take the two sisters to heart. The beautiful women in the palace had long been satisfying him.

It's time to afternoon.

The scene in Changsha City is no longer as empty as before.

The streets are still lively.

This is the norm in Changsha.

Zhao Dongting, with Kong Qiangu, Qi Wulie, Duan Shi, Feng Hebi and dozens of cavalry, finally arrived outside the southern gate of Changsha.

They did not stop much on the way, nor did they go to any government office. Compared with Zhu Haiwang, the Zhu Hecong brothers' formation was much lower-key.

Someone saw it on the way, and only thought they were from ordinary sects.

When they arrived at the city, everyone dismounted and walked with their horses.

When Zhao Dongting only went to the street, he saw that there were still many fireworks left on the street, and was a little confused.

He stopped a pedestrian on the street and asked, "Brother, what are the happy events in the city? Why are there so many fireworks?"

The man said happily and with a little pride: "The two marshals of our Changsha Zhu family won the victory and died."

He only regarded Zhao Dongting as a foreigner.

"oh!"

Zhao Dongting then realized it and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After thanking him, he led everyone to the palace.

Until the palace gate, the palace guards recognized them. The palace gate instantly broke out in chaos.

Zhao Dongting led Kong Qiangu, Qi Wulie and others to Zhengde Gate before they even reached Zhengde Gate, they saw Le Chan bringing Lu Xiufu, Chen Wenlong and others to meet him in a hurry.

They were just discussing matters in the imperial study room, and when Zhao Dongting came back, they rushed over immediately.

As soon as he got closer, Le Chan rushed straight into Zhao Dongting's arms.

Zhao Dongting hugged her and said hurriedly: "Be careful of the fetus, be careful of the fetus."

Le Chan smiled happily, "You are finally back."

Everyone around looked around and pretended not to see it.

Of course it is a bit rude to hug in front of so many people, but who is called the emperor young? Who is the emperor and the empress have a deep relationship?

Zhao Dongting and Lechan worked together for a long time before they continued to move towards the palace.
