"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Long live the empire!"
"Long live the Qinghe Army!"
The presentation of prisoners was held at the west gate of the imperial capital, and thousands of people cheered like mountains and tsunamis, pushing the entire welcome ceremony to a climax.
Hearing the deafening voice, all the civil and military officials standing on the West Tower were also strongly shocked.
Seeing the waving flags and the ocean of joy, they inexplicably felt a strong sense of pride in their hearts, proud of the strength of the empire!
For those spies from neighboring countries hidden in the crowd, the assassin originally wanted to do something at this grand welcome ceremony.
However, seeing the people of the Far Eastern Empire cheering wildly around them, they were also shocked and decisively stopped the plan.
Because they knew very well in their hearts that if they wanted to do something, they didn't need the imperial army to do it, and the people around them would be enough to overwhelm them.
The entire imperial capital cheered like boiling water, and the prestige of Chen Ziang, the emperor, was also rising rapidly.
Whether it is civil and military officials or ordinary people, they have no doubt in their hearts that under the leadership of Chen Ziang, the empire will become stronger and stronger.
The barbarian chief Tatar and others in the prison car were also shocked by the wildly cheering people around them.
As the great chief of the barbarians, he is also pampered on weekdays, holding the power of life and death of the various tribes of the barbarians.
But now seeing the majestic walls of the Far East Empire, the well-equipped army and the densely populated people, he realized that their barbarians are like frogs in a well.
Their harassing the western border of the Far Eastern Empire is tantamount to hitting an egg with a stone, and failure is also expected.
They were defeated by a security force of the Far East Empire, and the Far East Empire also had countless field troops with stronger combat effectiveness.
After thinking of this, the barbarian chief also felt a deep sense of powerlessness, and sighed for his shallow knowledge.
If he had known that the Far Eastern Empire was so powerful, how could he have dared to send troops to harass the western border of the Far Eastern Empire, and even wanted to occupy the western provinces.
After completing the captive offering ceremony, the captives such as Great Chief Tatar were taken over by the officials of the Imperial Criminal Department, and they were detained in the newly built prison of the Empire.
Under the leadership of Chen Ziang, the emperor of the empire, Gu Xingteng, head of the Seventh Banner of Public Security, and others held the ashes of the fallen soldiers and sent them to the Zhonglie Hall on the side of the central square of the imperial capital to worship.
After completing the worship ceremony, Chen Ziang drove back to the palace, and Gu Xingteng and others followed closely into the palace.
The imperial palace occupies a very large area. At the beginning, Chen Ziang gave some of the palaces to some meritorious ministers.
Li Qiye and others are naturally unwilling to live in the palace, because if they live in it, it is trespassing.
They also donated it as the offices of some new institutions and departments of the empire.
Now the entire imperial palace has been divided into two parts, the inner palace and the outer palace.
Chen Ziang, the emperor and empress of the empire, lived in the heavily guarded inner palace, while the more than 20 palaces in the outer palace were used as offices for court meetings and various departments.
In order to reward the meritorious ministers who made an expedition to the barbarian area, Chen Ziang, the emperor of the empire, also set up a banquet in the food hall of the inner palace.
The powerful ministers and nobles of the empire, as well as Gu Xingteng, the representative of meritorious soldiers, were also invited to the banquet.
This time in the barbarian area, the supreme commander was Guo Wei, the deputy commander of the public security army. However, one of the flag regiments was almost wiped out. He also felt aggrieved and panicked. People confront each other.
Now it is Gu Xingteng, the head of the Seventh Banner of Security, who is detaining the prisoners and returning to the imperial capital. He has now become a representative of meritorious soldiers.
As a representative of meritorious soldiers, Gu Xingteng, the head of the empire's banner, also became the protagonist of the banquet. Not only Chen Ziang, the emperor of the empire, went to toast, but even Li Qiye, the important minister of the empire, and others frequently went up to toast.
You must know that in the battle order of the Far East Empire, there are now ten legions in the apparent army alone, and even the deputy head of the legion rarely talks to Li Qiye and others on weekdays.
He, the head of the banner, is now having a good time with the emperor and important ministers, which makes him flattered.
"I heard that you graduated from the War College?"
After Chen Ziang and Gu Xingteng had a drink,Seeing this tall and thin young general, he also asked with concern.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I will be the second graduate of Zhanzheng College." Gu Xingteng hurriedly stood up and replied.
"Okay, this time you didn't embarrass me, you showed the might of the empire!" Chen Zi'ang patted Gu Xingteng's shoulder and said.
"This is what His Majesty taught." Gu Xingteng also flattered Chen Ziang quietly.
After all, Chen Ziang is the nominal dean of Zhanzheng College, and Gu Xingteng is not only from Zhanzheng College, but also once served as the head of the Fifth Banner of the Guards, which can be regarded as Chen Ziang's direct lineage.
After Chen Ziang heard Gu Xingteng's words, he couldn't help pointing at him and scolding him with a smile: "Don't flatter me, I don't like that."
Although Chen Ziang's words were reproachful, he had a smile on his face and was very happy in his heart.
"Who else is in the family?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, all my family members died in the war, and now I can feed myself and the whole family is not hungry."
Chen Ziang shook his head: "How can it be done? As a meritorious minister of the empire, you don't even have a family. If outsiders know about it, they will complain that I am harsh to you."
"Well, Yun'er, the female official at the queen's side, has also reached the age of marriage. I'll see you later, and if you want to, start a family first." Chen Ziang said with a smile.
Gu Xingteng never thought that the emperor Chen Ziang would propose marriage to himself, and the person who was close to the empress, which made him flattered.
"The last general, the last general"
"Why, you still look down on the people around the empress?"
"No, no, the general just feels like a big bastard, and I'm worried that people will look down on me." Gu Xingteng said in embarrassment.
Chen Ziang laughed loudly and said, "You are a meritorious minister of the empire now. I don't know how many girls want to marry you. You should seize the opportunity."
"Then everything will be at your Majesty's discretion."
Gu Xingteng naturally did not dare to refuse the matchmaking offer from Emperor Chen Ziang, so he hastily agreed.
Li Qiye and others also came over to talk to Gu Xingteng one after another, so Gu Xingteng did not dare to neglect, and responded respectfully.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, when the banquet was lively, Gu Xingteng also presented some treasures seized from the barbarian area to Emperor Chen Ziang according to the order of the army commander Li Changqing.
These treasures include some beef jerky eaten by barbarians, precious animal skins, gems, medicinal materials, etc.
"Huh?"
When Chen Ziang saw a group of black stones, he also picked it up and looked at it carefully.
Because this black stone is nothing but high-quality coal ore.
The Far East Empire has a small coal mine in the Tongshan area of ??Yunxi Prefecture, but it is strictly confidential.
The imperial arsenal has begun to use coal mines to burn weapons for forging and processing, so the weapons of the imperial army are sharp.
"Your Majesty, this is the black stone in the barbarian area. Once thrown into the fire, it can burn. Many barbarians use this to cook." Gu Xingteng introduced.
Although Gu Xingteng is the head of the empire's banner, the coal mine is a secret of the empire, so he doesn't know that the empire already has a small coal mine.
Now he brought the coal ore back as part of the treasure offering, because he had never seen this thing before.
"Is there a lot of this thing on the barbarian side?"
Chen Ziang asked after suppressing the excitement in his heart.
"I found a lot around the black bear tribe, and we also found some on the way back. You can pick them up in the wilderness." Gu Xingteng said 151.
Hearing this, Chen Ziang was also very happy, which meant that it was an open-pit coal mine.
These open-pit coal mines have such a high quality, and those buried in the ground are estimated to be of higher quality, but now I don't know how much they store.
Seeing that there are so many coal mines in the barbarian area, Chen Ziang made up his mind to include the barbarian area into the empire's territory. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
