From eunuch to emperor

Di Luoxi wanted to use medicine to make alchemy, and Mrs. Ziyun agreed very much.

"The kind of meat Ganoderma lucidum used as medicine must be cut off first, then chopped, and then poured into the alchemy furnace to refine for seven days before the medicine is most effective."

Master Ziyun looked at Long Chen with a playful expression.

Long Chen thought to himself: Then stop playing in the future!

Di Luoxi said with emotion: "It's a pity that it's only found in Shengxue Peak."

The three of them were talking nonsense, and the team moved forward quickly.

...

Capital.

Di Xingwan walked into the Imperial Study Room of Fengming Palace, and Di Yuwei was arranging the welcome ceremony.

The time for the Empress to return to Beijing has been set, and it will be two days later.

The empress personally conquered and conquered the great kingdom of Nanliang. This is a magnificent event, and the welcoming ceremony must be grand and grand.

Hao Zhiwen, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, was listening to orders in the room, and Su Xianyue, Taichangqing, the chief official of Taichang Temple, was also beside him.

"Meet the second princess."

Hao Zhiwen and Su Xianyue greeted each other immediately.

Di Xingwan nodded slightly, and the maid immediately opened the chair and asked Di Xingwan to sit down.

"The messenger came to report that the queen mother will arrive in the south of the city in two days."

"How about the rituals formulated by the Ministry of Rites and Taichang Temple? Is there anything that needs to be added?"

Di Yuwei handed over the entry ceremony list, and Di Xingwan took it. After reading it carefully, he said, "Elder Sister, I think this entry ceremony is for the Queen Mother."

"King Wu actually contributed a lot to the destruction of Nanliang this time. Is it not good to ignore him?"

Di Yuwei completely centered on the Empress, deliberately ignoring the existence of Long Chen, this was intentional.

She felt that Long Chen's contribution was too great. Last time he destroyed Xixia, if he destroyed Nanliang this time, it would also be considered Long Chen's contribution, and there was no way to reward him.

So she put all the credit on the Empress, and Long Chen was only treated as an ordinary general.

Di Yu said slightly: "The empress mother is the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This time the attack on Nanliang is a personal conquest by the royal family. Of course, the empress mother is the main one. Long Chen is only the deputy general."

Di Xingwan knew that this was deliberately suppressing Long Chen, so that everyone would not say that Long Chen was actually the Great Zhou Emperor.

"What if the queen mother is not happy? Eldest sister, don't forget that King Wu is deeply favored by the queen mother."

Di Xingwan reminded at the end that Di Yuwei was right to do so, the emperor's own conquest, the credit must belong to the emperor.

In the officialdom, all the credit goes to the leader, and all the faults are due to the subordinates not correctly understanding the intentions of the superiors and making their own decisions.

However, the relationship between the empress and Long Chen is unusual, if the empress is unhappy, Di Yuwei will be self-defeating.

Di Yuwei was very conflicted, she wanted to win Long Chen over, and even thought about elopement in the middle of the night to cook herself, but she was also worried that her position in the East Palace would not be guaranteed.

So do things upside down, with both ends.

Di Xingwan's words shook Di Yuwei again, and said, "Then... change it."

Di Xingwan called Hao Zhiwen and Su Xianyue over, and said: "You change it again, the queen mother is the master, and King Wu is second, but King Wu has made a lot of contributions this time, so don't neglect it."

The two bowed and said: "My minister takes orders."

The two took the form and immediately went down to revise it.

...

Two days later.

The empress took more than 3 Long family troops and a group of generals to ten miles outside the south gate.

Gongsun Yun of the Laozhu State, princesses Di Yuwei and Di Xingwan led the Chinese military officials and the people of the capital to welcome them at Shiliting.

The Empress is in front, Long Chen is on the left, Emperor Luoxi and Di Lingyi are on the right, Mrs. Ziyun and Master Miaoyin are behind, Wu Jian, Zhang Qian and other generals follow, and Han Ziping and Meng Yidao follow behind.

Zhang Qian and the others led the troops back to the capital first. After arriving, the soldiers and horses were stationed at the South Camp. After seeing Di Yuwei, they went out of the city to join the Empress, and then entered the city together.

When going out, the Empress didn't have many generals under her command, but when she came back, she had more than a dozen generals under her command.

When the empress arrived at Shili Pavilion, Di Yuwei ordered the salute to be fired outwards, and the rumbling sound of the cannons welcomed the return of the army.

"The old minister welcomes the triumphant return of the Holy One."

Sun Yun, Gongsun Yun of Laozhu State, stepped forward to congratulate him first.

Di Yuwei and Di Xingwan followed and said: "I congratulate my mother for destroying Nanliang, and the world will be unified from now on."

All the officials behind followed and bowed to the empress in unison: "Congratulations to the Holy Majesty for destroying Nanliang and dominating the world!"

The Great Zhou destroyed Liang, unified the world, and completed the work of a martial sage.

The empress and Long Chen have unprecedented prestige among the common people.

After all the officials congratulated, the people of Taichang Temple commanded the people to shout in unison: "Shang Wannian, the world will be unified!"

Tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, and the scene was very spectacular.

The Empress smiled and said: "This time, I did not destroy Liang alone. All the lovers have contributed."

"Go back to the capital."

Everyone stepped aside, the empress led, and the others followed behind, returning to the capital together.

Ritual and music of Taichang Temple opened the way and played music in front, and officials and common people followed behind.

Gongsun Linglong patted her horse to Gongsun Yun's side, and said proudly: "My granddaughter has made great achievements this time, and she has participated in several battles. I have a share in breaking Jinling."

Gongsun Yun said with a smile: "The Holy One will reward you for your merits, so you don't need to boast."

Looking back, he didn't see Gongsun Ming, and asked, "Where's your brother?"

Gongsun Linglong said: "I have stayed in Jinling City, the Holy Majesty appointed him to stay in Jinling, and Li Xiannan will be the general of Zhennan, leading the old land of Nanliang."

Gongsun Yun was stunned for a while before he realized it.

Clamping the horse's belly between her legs, she caught up with the Empress, and bowed to thank her: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your support!"

The empress knew that Gongsun Yun was referring to Gongsun Ming.

Jinling stayed behind and ruled the former land of Nanliang. This power is extremely powerful.

The three generations of Gongsun have devoted themselves to the country. This is a generous reward from the empress to the Gongsun family.

"Gongsun Ming did a good job this time. Originally, Linglong also had a reward, but she needed her help in the follow-up battle with the ghost clan, so I brought it back."

Gongsun Yun immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty has given you too much praise, but my grandson is actually mediocre, and it was all bestowed by His Majesty's kindness."

The empress smiled and said: "The waves behind push the waves ahead, don't always feel that your children and grandchildren are not good enough."

Gongsun Yun bowed deeply moved, and slowly backed away.

Li Junjun is also looking for Bai Tingting in the team, she is with Zhang Qian and other generals.

Li Junjun didn't go over to speak, just watched from afar.

When they arrived at the gate of the capital, dancers from Taichang Temple danced on the tower to welcome them.

The street was full of welcoming people, the Empress crossed the street, returned to Daming Palace and sat down.

Long Chen stood at the first place among generals, Gongsun Yun was second, Di Lingyi was third, Emperor Luoxi was fourth, Wu Jian followed, and the other generals were in the first team outside.

On the civil servant's side, Di Yuwei was the leader, and the others lined up in order.

This court meeting, all officials above the fifth grade of the capital participated.

The top grade is inside the hall, while the bottom grade is outside the hall.

The empress glanced at the ministers and said, "God bless Zhou, successfully conquered Jinling and wiped out Nanliang."

"From now on, the world will be unified, and the three families will return to Zhou."

The ministers below congratulated in unison: "The world will be unified, the three families will return to Zhou, and the saint will last ten thousand years!"

The empress looked at Wang Wei, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and said, "Shangshu Wang, I will let your Ministry of War discuss your merits in breaking Liang this time, are you ready?"

Wang Wei, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, came out and said: "Report to the Holy Majesty, it is ready."

The empress nodded slightly, and said: "Okay, now your Ministry of War will announce the ranking of meritorious service."

The generals and officials who participated in the war were very excited. After fighting for so long, what they were waiting for was promotion and fortune.

There is no benefit, who wants to hold his head and work hard?

Wang Wei bowed and said: "My minister obeys the order."

Wang Wei stood sideways, two of his subordinates were holding a large booklet.

Turning to the first page, Wang Wei recited loudly: "According to the order of the sage, the meritorious deeds for the battle of destroying Nanliang. Defeating the army and killing the enemy, capturing the city and conquering the territory, the meritorious service comes first..."

When Wang Wei said first, everyone looked at Long Chen.

Everyone knows that Long Chen must be number one in terms of merit.
