Happiness Consist in Contentment

On this day, the continuous winter snow finally stopped, the sun was shining, the blue sky and white clouds were shining.

The people of the entire capital of Dayan Kingdom went out early and waited on the only way to enter the palace, waiting for the heroes of Western Xinjiang to enter Beijing and be sealed!

Because the battle of the Western Xinjiang was a complete victory, and all the barbarians were captured in an unprecedented way, the people of the whole city have long been waiting for such a day.

Therefore, Emperor Yanqing could not low-key call Liu Fang and others into the palace.

Simply, a grand welcome ceremony was arranged. The prince personally led the ministers of civil and military affairs, and the royal clansmen and others went out of the city to greet them, and then entered the palace together to wait for Emperor Yanqing's award.

After the award, there was also a banquet welcoming the five countries' embassies into Beijing, and a reception banquet for Liu Fang and others.

In this way, under the attention of the whole city, Liu Fang led the three thousand soldiers of Liucheng, several captives of Tuoba Yaoheng, the barbarian envoy and others, and they rode slowly, heading for the capital, and heading for the palace.

Prince Murong Zhuo waited in the pavilion ten miles outside the city early in the morning.

This time, he was wearing the crown prince's uniform, riding a horse, and waiting quietly with a smile. Behind him were a group of standing civil and military ministers, royal family members.

When he saw Liu Fang and his party coming slowly, Murong Zhuo still sat on the horse and watched them leisurely.

The second prince stood, looked up at the prince, lowered his eyes and twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, waiting quietly.

Standing beside Murong Zhuo, Hong Bao was very excited: here we come! coming! The show is about to begin! (>y<)

Liu Fang led the group to the prince and everyone to stop the horse, turn over and dismount, and the soldiers behind him followed neatly, and also turned over and dismounted.

The group kneeled respectfully, gave a big salute, and shouted in unison, "My minister (little girl) sees His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Murong Zhuo smiled lazily and said, "Everyone has worked hard all the way, please get up."

"Thank you prince!"

Everyone stood up, their movements were uniform, and the military discipline was strict.

Murong Zhuo said with a smile, "Your Majesty is waiting in the palace, you can come with me."

"Yes."

Liu Fang and his party saluted respectfully, and got on their horses again.

The barbarian envoy over there immediately bowed to Murong Zhuo and said, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince of Dayan!"

Murong Zhuoli ignored them, turned the horse's head, and left with Liu Fang and the others.

Except for Liu Fang and others who followed slowly, everyone else:…

The officials of Honglu Temple hurriedly came forward and exchanged a few words with Tuoba Gangyou, and then the group slowly entered the capital.

.

As soon as the people in the city saw Liu Fang and other Liucheng sergeants, they began to cheer loudly and were very excited!

However, Liu Fang raised his hand, and the sergeant who was escorting the carriage pulled off the white cloth covering it. Suddenly, all the people became quiet!

The onlookers in front of them didn't know why, until they saw Liu Fang and his party coming slowly, their eyes widened: (⊙o⊙)!

I saw Liu Fang and other Liucheng sergeants, all dressed in plain white filial attire, wearing burlap and filial piety, guarding a carriage with a huge stone monument erected in the middle.

The names of bright red cinnabar are engraved on the stone tablet, which are densely packed, impacting the hearts and eyes of everyone, causing them to involuntarily redden their eyes and shed tears!

These are all heroes who sacrificed their lives, guarded Liucheng, guarded the frontier, and guarded the country of Dayan!

Then, a louder shout broke out: "Hero! Hero! Hero!"

Tuoba Yaoheng widened his eyes and looked at the stone monument in front of him in disbelief!

Is this what she wants to do?

His heart suddenly sank, their plan can really be realized?

...

When Emperor Yanqing, who was waiting in the palace, heard the report from his subordinates, his face suddenly stiffened.

Wearing hemp and filial piety, he entered Beijing with a stele engraved with the names of sacrificed soldiers, arousing the emotions of the onlookers.

This is clearly provoking his imperial power!

Are you telling him how unsuccessful he was as an emperor? So that corruption is rampant in Kyoto, and the government is turbid, so that the soldiers and people in the entire Western Xinjiang cannot be fed and clothed?

It just doesn't make sense!

Liu Fang, this woman, is too arrogant, and she doesn't look down on him as an emperor!

However, he also understands that in today's turbulent public opinion, as a monarch, it is absolutely impossible for him to punish her for her sins.

So, she did it on purpose!

It's abominable!

"Where have they gone?"

Emperor Yanqing asked coldly, and the **** who came to report respectfully replied: "Go back to your majesty, I have already walked to Huangcheng Street."

In other words, we will soon arrive at the palace.

With a cold face, Emperor Yanqing waved the attendant to step back, silently pondering.

Today, there are five countries' embassies, but he wants to see what Liu Fang is capable of.

If she loses the national system of Dayan, he can naturally suppress her one or two.

Hmph, the girl who does not know how high the sky is, and let her be proud for a moment.

Liu Fang and his party slowly entered the palace, and the huge stone tablet naturally stayed outside the palace.

The onlookers followed all the way,

When I got here, I didn't want to leave, and even voluntarily formed a line and bowed solemnly to the stone tablet!

Liu Fang saw such a scene out of the corner of her eye, and her heart warmed and she smiled slightly.

Murong Zhuo turned his head to look at her, then turned back and laughed secretly in his heart, this girl Liu is really very courageous!

The group dismounted, then slowly entered the palace and came to the main hall.

Civil and military officials and royal clansmen lined up to stand in line, and the space vacated in the middle was just reserved for Prince Murong Zhuo and Liu Fang and his party.

Of course, it was impossible for all five thousand people to come in. Only Liu Fang and Chen Fang brought three thousand commanders, and Tuoba Gangyou brought several officials of the mission.

The other guard sergeants were temporarily waiting in the square outside the main hall.

Zhenghe Hall is the largest main palace of the Dayanguo Palace, located on the central axis of the entire palace, the first.

This hall is not open on a daily basis. It is only opened during this special time, when there is a major celebration.

The space inside is very large and can accommodate several thousand people, and the large square outside is even larger and can accommodate tens of thousands of people.

Just the high stone steps of the ninety-ninth level outside are magnificent enough!

Liu Fang led Chen Fang and several others, and respectfully bowed to Emperor Yanqing, "Liu Fang, daughter of Liu Da, General Liu Cheng, pays homage to Your Majesty!"

"Chen × × greets His Majesty!"

Emperor Yanqing sat on the high seat, wearing a bright yellow robe and a crown on his head, his expression was indifferent.

"Flat body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone stood up.

Emperor Yanqing looked at Liu Fang, who was standing in the middle with lowered eyes. She was young, beautiful, and gentle. At first glance, she was actually like those women in Kyoto who were raised in a boudoir.

But in her respect, she was still tall and straight, showing that she was not one of those innocent boudoir girls, nor was she as weak and gentle as she appeared on the surface.

Dressed in plain clothes, she looked extremely thin and cold.

It should be said that she is indeed a young genius, the heroine who saved the western border and defeated the barbarian army by herself.

Her appearance was beyond the expectations of Emperor Yanqing. She originally thought that her appearance was bullshit, but she did not expect it to be true.

No wonder it attracted the covet of the boss.

Thinking of what Liu Fang did, especially what he did today, the fear in Emperor Yanqing's heart deepened.

Possessing such an appearance, he also possesses an extraordinary mind, and he possesses a peerless feat that even Emperor Yanqing cannot easily erase.

Such

People, still so young, how can he not make him feel jealous?

Emperor Yanqing didn't stay silent for a long time. Today's award was already set. No matter what he thought in his heart, as a monarch, he couldn't help conferring Liu Fang's merits.

On the contrary, he had to hold back his fears and seal her up high enough to be worthy of her achievements. Otherwise, his prestige will be damaged, it will also make other countries laugh at it, and it will disappoint the people of the world.

This is not a good thing.

Therefore, Emperor Yanqing was only silent for a moment, and then said: "You are Liu Fang, the girl of the Liu family who saved my danger in the western border of the Great Yan Kingdom?"

Liu Fang bowed and saluted: "Go back to Your Majesty, this is the official daughter."

Emperor Yanqing nodded slightly, very satisfied with her respect, and said with a smile: "Western Xinjiang is the border area of ​​my country, and thanks to you this time, the crisis and hundreds of thousands of people in the frontier have been saved.

As the king of Daejeon, I thank you! "

Liu Fang immediately knelt down and gave a big salute:

"The minister is terrified!

As citizens of Dayan, the ministers and daughters were born and raised in the Western Xinjiang, so they should stand up when the border is in danger.

This is the duty that ministers and daughters should do as His Majesty's subjects, and they should not be thanked by His Majesty!

The grace of Your Majesty, the soldiers and civilians of the Western Xinjiang are all deeply grateful.

This time, His Majesty's Long En, ministers and daughters, and the uncles and brothers who guard the western border are fortunate enough to enter Beijing and receive the seal of His Majesty. I am very grateful!

To be able to guard the territory for His Majesty, to receive His Majesty's grace, and to be conferred by His Majesty, this is the great luck of ministers and daughters, and the great luck of military and civilians in the Western Xinjiang!

Visible, Your Majesty! The record of day and night hangs with the subjects of Western Xinjiang!

The minister, thank you, Your Majesty, Long En! "

Chen Fang and several people immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Chen Xie Your Majesty Long En!"

Emperor Yanqing: …

Others in the hall:…

Murong Zhuo almost didn't laugh out loud, this obvious flattery really made him laugh or cry.

Miss Liu, is this intentional? Before the reward was awarded, I didn't know what the purpose was, so I began to thank him.

This... It is clear that the father is lifted high.

If the decree is slightly wrong, I am afraid that this time the Ministry of Rites, the Cabinet, and the officials of the Hanlin Academy will have bad luck:

How could the emperor be wrong? It's all the people who are wrong below. ╮(︶﹏︶)╭

Anything that Murong Zhuo can understand, basically everyone in this hall can understand.

Especially Emperor Yanqing, he held back the anger that burst out of his heart, pulled the corners of his mouth, smiled, and said with a very happy look: "Okay, it's really a talented girl in my Dayan Kingdom, a heroine! Well-deserved reputation!

good very good. Come on, declare your decree. "

☆、Other types are content and happy to wear

"Here!"

The chief steward standing next to him hurriedly bowed to answer, turned and picked up a bright yellow imperial decree from the tray held by the attendant standing behind him, and said aloud:

"Follow the sky, and the emperor decreed:

Today, there is Liu Fang, the daughter of a general in Liucheng of Western Xinjiang.

With one's own power, save the danger of the western border and save the people of the three cities in the western border.

Killing one barbarian general and two strong men, annihilated more than 20,000 barbarian elites.

The captive barbarian tribe Tuoba's first prince Tuoba Yaohong, the third prince Tuoba Yaoheng, the seventh prince Tuoba Yaocheng, and the barbarian commander Tuoba Gangzheng, the four of them. And, a barbarian army of 500,000 people and so on.

It is a great achievement, unprecedented in history, and it is the first in the annals of Yanguo's history! I am really pleased!

Therefore, it is hereby issued a special decree to designate Liu Fang as Princess Rongning of Zhenguo, a first-class and a prince. Entering the royal family, you can enjoy the prince's salary, the honor of the royal family, and the honor of the princess. Give one Princess Mansion and three Huangzhuang, 100,000 gold and 200,000 silver (the names and quantities of a bunch of gold and silver jewelry are omitted here).

In addition, the Princess Rongning of Zhenguo was added as a female marquis, a first-class, and a mansion was given to the marquis (the list of items to be rewarded is also omitted here).

His father, Liu Da, was given the title of Zhenxi Bo, and his brother was the general of Zhenxi.

Later generations can enjoy the ancestral shade, and his eldest grandson Liu Feng can inherit the title of Zhenxi Earl.

Appreciate this, thank you! "

Liu Fang respectfully kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!"

Afterwards, Chen Fang and several others were rewarded, and they basically got a small title - Viscount, descended from three generations.

Then she was promoted to an official position: Liu Fang had no status before, and what she said was with Chen Fang, only in the name of an entourage, without a formal official position.

Now Chen Fang has a justifiable official position - Liu Cheng's deputy general, Liu Fang's bodyguard commander.

The same was true for the other three thousand commanders, all of whom were promoted to lieutenant generals.

Another is Luo Zheng, who also became a lieutenant.

In this way, Liucheng's deputy generals are complete.

As for the post of General Counsel, Emperor Yanqing of course handed it over to Liu Fang: there is no way out, even if he wants to keep Liu Fang in Beijing, the current situation is not allowed.

After reciting the decree of the reward, Emperor Yanqing said with a smile: "Rong Ning is at peace, from now on, you are also the eldest princess of my Dayan country, and guard the western border for my Dayan country. I hope you will not forget your original intention and guard me. The territory of the Great Yan Kingdom,

Guard the people of my country of Dayan, do not fall into the body of my royal family, the might of the country of Dayan! "

Liu Fang kowtowed again and said, "My ministers and daughters will follow His Majesty's teachings and never forget them!"

Emperor Yanqing nodded with satisfaction, "Get up, Rong Ning."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Thank you Your Majesty."

Liu Fang stood up and stood respectfully, bowing his head and saying nothing.

Emperor Yanqing also asked Chen Fang to get up, and then he said with a smile, "I just heard that Rong Ning brought the stone tablets with the names of the soldiers who died in the Western Xinjiang to Beijing, but what is the purpose?"

Liu Fang respectfully saluted, "Go back to Your Majesty, the ministers and daughters just want His Majesty to see that the soldiers and soldiers who have sacrificed in the Western Xinjiang, also want to ask Your Majesty for grace for these heroes who guarded the Western Frontier of our Great Yan Kingdom with blood."

Emperor Yanqing raised his eyebrows, "Oh? What kind of grace is Rongning asking for?"

Liu Fang replied respectfully, "Please, Your Majesty, grant the gift of exempting the family members of these sacrificial soldiers from paying taxes."

When Emperor Yanqing heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "There is no special tax exemption in the laws of the Great Yan Kingdom."

Except for natural disasters, everyone here has to pay taxes, just like the Jin Dynasty.

Liu Fang nodded and said, "The ministers and daughters know. It's just that these sacrificed soldiers are the sons of the family, the fathers, the high hall, and the wives and children. A year of taxes to ease their livelihoods.

Since then, the two countries have negotiated peace. Presumably, the people of Western Xinjiang can live a peaceful life for a few years, and their lives will be fine. "

These words really made the people in the hall speechless.

Murong Zhuo also gave a thumbs up in his heart: Miss Liu really dared to say it!

With such remarks, isn't he saying that the emperor did not give preferential treatment to the people of Western Xinjiang, and that all the officials in Beijing did not care about the life and death of the people of Western Xinjiang?

Why can't such families of martyrs survive after their sacrifice?

Isn't it because the officials in the capital were too corrupt, and Emperor Yanqing did nothing?

Where did the pension go? Where is the national law of the tax-free policy in March?

The grace that Liu Fang was begging for was clearly slapping the emperor in the face, and slapping the ministers in the face!

Sure enough, when Emperor Yanqing heard what Liu Fang said, his face darkened.

However, in just a split second, he regained his smile and said, "Rong Ning's heart is really sincere. My heart is very comforting. Well, this grace, I have approved it. Come on!"

The Minister of the Household came out of the queue smartly, bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, the minister is here."

Emperor Yanqing nodded slightly with satisfaction, and said, "I immediately decreed that the families of the guards and soldiers sacrificed in the Western Xinjiang can be exempted from tax for one year. In addition, Jiaen's descendants will inherit the salary of the school captain, and they will be surrendered for three generations."

When the Minister of War heard it, he hurried out of the queue, and the same was true of the Minister of Personnel.

The three ministers bowed and saluted: "Yes, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is holy!"

Liu Fang also knelt down again and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!"

Chen Fang and the others followed, kneeling in unison and salute, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!"

Emperor Yanqing looked at Liu Fang with cold eyes, but said with a smile, "Okay, Rong Ning. Are you satisfied with today's award?"

Liu Fang smiled slightly and kowtowed: "Thank you for your tolerance, my ministers and daughters are grateful!"

Emperor Yanqing: ...he didn't want to be tolerant (￢_￢).

Murong Zhuo lowered his head and smiled silently: If he doesn't smile again, he will be suffocated to death.

Emperor Yanqing also felt that he had to ease the anger in his heart, and said with a smile: "That's the case. Then, let's retreat. Rong Ning also went to the Princess's Mansion and Hou's Mansion to see, but he was still satisfied."

Liu Fang knelt on the ground and kowtowed again: "Thank you, Your Majesty, and send off Your Majesty!"

Everyone knelt down and saluted, "Respectfully send your majesty!"

Emperor Yanqing left the Zhenghe Hall with a stiff smile. Once he returned to the imperial study at the back, he couldn't help but grab the teacup on the low table and threw it on the ground. A thousand gold jasper tea cup, just broken.

The palace guards who followed behind were all as quiet as chickens, standing aside as if they were not seen.

Damn, damn, damn!

This girl from the Liu family is so abominable at such a young age! It is really hateful to dare to force him, the king of a country, to issue an decree in front of everyone's eyes!

Emperor Yanqing's eyes were slightly cold, hum, he would have to see how this Liu family girl would respond at the banquet for a while.

Presumably, the barbarian mission was holding a lot of bad water to block her, so he will wait and see.

...

After a reward, everyone's attention was on Liu Fang, and no one thought of the barbarian envoys who were in the hall together.

This made Tuoba Gangyou extremely depressed.

It's just that he couldn't, his family was defeated, and this time almost all the living strength of the barbarian tribe was wiped out, although these sergeants were not all dead.

But after being captured, the treatment they received was no better than death. It can be said that they are now facing death every moment in the Western Xinjiang. Perhaps after these days, many people have died.

So, now, it is their barbarians who are anxious, not Da Yanguo, let alone Liu Fang.

He really didn't have the confidence to interject and reveal his existence.

However, in this way, it is very unfavorable for their next plan, negotiation and so on.

Moreover, as soon as they came out of Zhenghe Hall, Liu Fang let the three of them **** Tuoba Yaoheng and left without calling him a single word.

But he couldn't act on his will, he could only swallow the anger and embarrassment in his heart, and quickly stopped Liu Fang with a smile, and said, "Miss Liu, now, since the third prince and the others have already arrived in the capital, shouldn't they be returned to us?

After all, as my barbarian royal family, they have been imprisoned by girls all the time, which is really inappropriate. "

Liu Fang raised her eyebrows, smiled, and said, "Master Zheng, have you already discussed with the adults in our country? The terms of the negotiation have been settled?"

Tuoba Gangyou: …

Where did he get the time?

As soon as she stepped into Dayan Kingdom, she was locked up by the person in front of her, and they could not follow her here until she entered Beijing.

Moreover, just now, His Majesty Dayanguo didn't think of them, he didn't say a word.

Have you negotiated yet? Ha ha.

He went to the **** to discuss, who could he consult with?

Liu Fang saw that he was speechless with a stiff face, and smiled and said, "Since nothing has been decided, I'm telling you not to worry too much, wait first, and then talk to me after you have all discussed it.

I am absolutely cooperative.

It's just now... Oh, the three princes must be guarded by my people.

After all, they are prisoners! "

An envoy from a defeated country dared to scoff in front of her? I really can't see how much I weigh.

After all, Liu Fang smiled at him, bypassed him, and left with Chen Fang and others.

Tuoba Gangyou had a dark face and silently watched the other party leave.

One of the deputy envoys came up to him and said, "Fourth Prince, what should we do?"

Tuoba Gangyou said coldly, "According to the plan, I don't believe it, she still dares to be presumptuous at the banquet!"

The envoy listened and respectfully responded, "Yes, Fourth Prince."

...

The will of canonizing Liu Fang and others spread all over the capital at the same time, and also began to spread to all parts of the country of Dayan.

As soon as Liu Fang and others left the palace, there were many people waiting outside the palace. Seeing them come out, there was a burst of enthusiastic cheers!

Liu Fang smiled and got on his horse, and under the **** of Liucheng soldiers and imperial guards, went to the palace of the eldest princess and the marquis of the imperial city.

This time, Emperor Yanqing was extremely generous: even if he didn't want to, he couldn't.

The Earl's Mansion, the Hou's Mansion and the Princess' Mansion are connected in one place, just occupying an entire street. The area is so large that all Liucheng soldiers are stunned.

Chen Fang opened his mouth wide and looked at the huge and magnificent sight in front of him.

Mansion: (⊙o⊙)!

Is this where the girl lives alone?

Is this too big? !

Liu Fang only smiled faintly, she knew the emperor's intentions well: now, hold her high, in the future, he will let her fall down!

However, this is convenient for Liu Fang. The mansion is big enough that the soldiers who follow her to Beijing this time can live here.

In addition, as the eldest princess of the same prince, she has a quota of 3,000 private soldiers, not to mention the property under her name, all the servants in the mansion, which is a huge number.

However, Liu Fang also knew that Emperor Yanqing would definitely not let her use her own people. Therefore, she still has a lot to face next, and she cannot take it lightly.

These are all things to come later. Now, let's take a stroll around your new home, then have a full meal, take a hot bath, change into new clothes, and prepare for the next palace banquet.

The author has something to say: Jia Geng is actually trying to prepare for the future entry into V. In the future, the scumbag writers will strive for three updates a day.

thank you all!

Thank you (＾v＾)!
