Back to Datang Jianzuo City

Chapter 239 The Great Army Triumph
The triumphant return of the army is today!
There was a lively scene in Chang'an City. His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty led all the civil and military officials out of the city to welcome the soldiers who returned in triumph.

Ding Yi was also made an exception to accompany him out of the city to greet him on this day, and the grounding will continue tomorrow!

Now that he has no official position, it seems very abrupt to stand among civil and military officials.The officials also ignored him. The few who had a good relationship with him all followed Li Er, or stood at the front of the line, and he was arranged by the officials of the Ministry of Rites among a group of officials of the fifth and sixth ranks.

With no acquaintances, Ding Yi didn't bother to talk to those around him, the two sides really had nothing to talk about.

This welcome is not only when the army arrives, they come out early and wait!

The emperor had a chariot, but Li Er came on a horse!
It's really uncomfortable to stand and wait for someone. Thinking about when I was in school, I couldn't stand listening to the principal's speech on Monday morning. After waiting for a long time, Ding Yi finally couldn't help it!

Walking out of the queue, I found Li Tai. Although this little fat man also had a frame, he stood and waited.

When the officials of the Ministry of Rites saw someone disturbing the order of the team, they wanted to go up and blame him, but after seeing Ding Yi, he smiled unpredictably and left.

Finally, when the sun moved to the west, the soldiers from the Northern Expedition returned!
This is just the advance troops led by Li Jing and others, and the large troops are in the rear.

Li Er got off his horse and went forward, Li Jing and others got off their horses and clasped their fists to salute!
"Haha! Our hero is back! You have worked hard!" Li Er was very happy, winning!
"It's a good luck for me to wait for you!" All the generals saluted one after another.

At this time, Li Er's expression and mood were sincere, without any falsehood, and all civil and military officials watched this scene excitedly.

Although everyone in the court criticizes each other, when it comes to foreign enemies, they share the same hatred!Even people from aristocratic families are no exception to this point, but they don't want to see this matter in Li's second hand!

In the past few years when Li Er ascended the throne, these aristocratic families wanted to step down Li Er many times. The reason was that they did not want to see such a person who was an enemy of the aristocratic family become emperor. The reason for the group was mentioned earlier.

Fortunately, under the leadership of Li Er, Datang wiped out the Eastern Turks!

In this way, Li Er's prestige is even stronger!For the family, this is not good news!

Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and others were also among them. Li Er personally greeted them back to Chang'an, and also gave up the leading position of the team to Li Jing and others, but they were rejected!
Back in the city, we walked all the way to the imperial palace along Zhuque Street. The people on both sides of the street rejoiced and expressed their gratitude to this group of brave men who made peace in the country.

Originally, Ding Yi wanted to hold some welcome ceremony on this road, but on this day, the venue on Suzaku Street was cleared early, and unrelated people could only stand on both sides of the road to welcome them.If you want to set up a platform, sorry, you think too much!
After looking at the team for a long time, I didn't see Cheng Chumo, and I don't know if I couldn't follow the advance team into the city, or I didn't see it.

Today is a day of celebration for the whole country, to welcome back the meritorious officials, Li Er hosted a banquet in the palace to entertain the meritorious officials, with all civil and military officials as a foil.

This banquet was no ordinary banquet, and there was no chance for Ding Yi to join in at all.And he didn't have the heart to mix it up, so he completely gave up the scenes of this day to those heroes.

Li Jing and other generals became the focus of the banquet, and civil servants and military generals stepped forward to congratulate and toast.

A lively and joyful atmosphere filled the banquet hall. Cheng Yaojin and others responded to compliments or sincere congratulations, but Li Jing seemed a little low-key.

This is inseparable from his character, and it is also his perception after returning from the Northern Expedition.

As the neutral candidate for the change of Li Er's Xuanwu Sect, he felt that he should restrain himself a little. Coupled with his own cautious character, it is not surprising that he is so.

Ding Yi stepped forward to toast, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and others laughed and hugged their shoulders and praised him, making Ding Yi confused, what does it have to do with him?
The banquet lasted until Haishi. There were not a few officials who were drunk, and most of them were carried back!

……

next day
Ding Yi, who was sleeping soundly at home, was woken up!

But the instigator was Cheng Chumo, whom he hadn't seen for half a year!
"Why didn't I see you yesterday?" Ding Yi was woken up, and his tone was a bit unfriendly.

Cheng Chumo smiled, and replied: "I'm here, with the soldiers! It's just that I can't show too much in the team. I'm just a captain, and I'm not qualified to stand in front."

"It's you, I heard that you have done a lot of great things in the past six months! You even got involved with Wang Cui's family!"

"Winning too much, it's the trend of the times, I have to do it. You know me, I don't even bother to move if others don't provoke me."

"Haha, let's go, I'll have a good drink with my brother today! I'll treat you!" As he spoke, he was about to drag Ding Yi away.

"Hey hey!"

Ding Yi hastily shouted to stop: "I have been grounded by His Majesty, if you want to drink, you can come to my house, I treat you!"

"Ah ha ha!"

Cheng Chumo smiled awkwardly, and said: "I forgot that. I heard that Cui Bin was dead, and you beat up Cui Li at the Cui Mansion?"

"Well, almost, wait for me to wash up first!"

Ding Yi washes up on his own, while Cheng Chumo follows and talks about the important things Ding Yi has been doing these days!

Always talk about women gossip, this man started gossiping...

Finally, when the daily cleaning activities were over, Ding Yi said helplessly, "Don't talk about me, let's talk about you! How do you feel about this Northern Expedition?"

Cheng Chumo came here to talk about this with Ding Yi, and he went out for half a year for this moment!
Let him go and tell Cheng Yaojin's senior generals that they don't even care about you!As for Cheng Chuliang and Yuchi Baolin's peers, Cheng Chumo showed the appearance of a big brother and didn't bother to show off with them.

And Ding Yi happened to be his object of showing off.

When he first went there, Cheng Chumo was still a small corporal leader in Cheng Yaojin's army, and he was sent to Li Jing's command before the war started!
Li Jing is a qualified commander and a famous general of his generation. On the battlefield, he doesn't even think about who is your descendant. Of course, this is because Li Er's son failed to approve to go to the battlefield.

During the more than three months of battle, Cheng Chumo talked about every bit of it with gusto. This expedition with the army can be said to be the first GC in his life!

Ding Yi became a good listener, pricking up his ears to listen to Cheng Chumo's deeds.

This guy lived up to Cheng Yaojin's reputation as the son of Cheng Yaojin. In addition to the first kill on the battlefield, there was a slight adverse reaction, and the subsequent killings became more and more fierce.

From morning to noon, he drank several pots of tea in a row, but he didn't see any thought of stopping. Fortunately, he couldn't spit when he spoke, or he would have been kicked out by Ding Yi long ago.

"Do you want to eat first? Let's talk after eating?"

"what?"

"Oh, that's good! I'm really hungry!"
