Xiao Mohan ordered his soldiers to stand by outside the city, dismounted from their horses, and then led his confidants and several lieutenants and generals to prepare to enter the palace to meet the saint.

When they arrived at the city gate, the civil and military officials had been waiting for a long time.

The prime minister was at the front, followed closely by the Taifu and other officials.

"Congratulations to General Xiao for winning the battle and making great contributions to our country, Luo Qi."

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, you are joking. Thank you for assisting the Emperor in governing the country."

Su Tingye clasped his fists in congratulations, "Congratulations to General Xiao on his triumphant return."

"How are you doing, Master Taifu? I heard that there was a new baby in the house recently. He missed the 100-day banquet. He will definitely come to apologize someday."

It is a well-known fact that Su Tingye and Xiao Mohan had a very good personal relationship.

One of them is the prince's tutor, and the other is the general who governs the country. It is precisely because of this that although the prince is young, his position in the East Palace is so solid that no one dares to shake it.

The group of officials exchanged polite compliments and walked towards the palace.

...

It's no different from the palace in my memory. It's heavily guarded by layers of forbidden troops outside and patrolling continuously for twelve hours.

The golden glazed tiles on the double eaves shine with pleated glory, and countless palaces are scattered among them. The crimson palace walls are like a cage for trapped animals, which makes people easily trapped.

But when you see new people smiling, you never hear old people cry.

Under the strict system at all levels, in order to save their lives, or perhaps for power and wealth, concubines gradually lost their original aspirations and adapted to the days of intrigues and intrigues.

In the struggle for imperial power, once you aspire to be the supreme king, who knows how many bones are still under your feet?

All civil and military officials gathered in the splendid palace, all prostrated on the ground, and shouted "Long live the Emperor".

On the dragon chair high up, Shang Yuzhen was sitting upright, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, his eyes were calm, he was domineering and majestic, and he showed a natural imperial aura in his movements.

"Plain body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xiao Mohan took a step outside and said, "This is to inform your Majesty that I, fortunately, have lived up to my command and returned from a great victory. I will return my orders to Your Majesty."

Shang Yu framed his applause, "Ai Qing has made great achievements this time, and I have decided to make you the Grand Marshal of the World's Armed Forces, in charge of the three armies."

The prime minister's face changed slightly. He was about to persuade the emperor to take back his military power when he saw Xiao Mohan kneeling on one knee and clasping his fists. "Thank you for your kindness, your Majesty. But now that the war is over, I beg your Majesty to allow me to stay at home to accompany my wife and children."

"Although Jianghu scholars often talk about the love between children, General Xiao has been on the battlefield for many years, so it is only natural for people to have such thoughts." The Prime Minister took advantage of the opportunity and said.

"Having said that, there is something about Xiliang that is ready to move, and I plan to ask Xiao Aiqing to lead his troops to suppress it."

Sensing Xiao Mohan's hesitation, Su Tingye stood up and said, "Compared with the wild desert north, the geology of the Xiliang border is better. It is better to let General Xiao lead his wife and children there, so as to relieve the worry of missing each other and better serve the country.

"

"What Taifu said is reasonable, and I agree with you."

"I second the proposal!"

More and more people agreed with Su Tingye's proposal. Shang Yujie narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a solemn tone, "Do you all think so?"

Xiao Mohan only has one son, Xiao Chuhong, and this is his weakness. It is not an exaggeration to say that he keeps Xiao Chuhong in Kyoto as a hostage.

Once the war is over and the soldier talisman is in Xiao Mohan's hands, if he wants to rebel with his soldiers, they have no power to stop him.

But there are so many generals in the court that no one can compete with them, whether they are leading the army in battle or arranging troops in formation.

Recalling the admonitions of the ministers in the DPRK in peacetime, if Xiao Mohan guards the border, the Luoqi country will be safe, but he cannot bet the entire country...
