Suddenly, bursts of cheers rang out again at the entire Beicheng gate, and in conjunction with the exploding fireworks, everyone fell into a sea of ​​joy.

The roaring fireworks kicked off the welcome ceremony.

drive drive...

Dong Xiaojun and others waved their whips and their horses accelerated. The soldiers of the three armies behind them also followed closely and came towards the city gate.

The war horse was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it stopped at the city gate.

"The soldiers of the Third and Fourth Army Corps of the Imperial Central Army, as well as the logistics and transport troops, salute the Imperial Cabinet, civil and military officials, and the common people of the world!"

Dong Xiaojun roared loudly, his energy flowing through Changhong.

"salute!"

The neat soldiers, with uniform movements, saluted all the adults and common people at the city gate at the same time!
I saw them raising their hands, and quickly took a shortcut to lift their right hand from their chest. The right arm was at the same height as the shoulder. The forearm and palm were in a straight line, the five fingers were close together, and the palm was turned slightly outward at [-] degrees.

This is Lu Hao’s new standard military salute!It is also a military salute from the previous life!

Each soldier holds his head high, his eyes sharp, his military appearance neat, and his military appearance radiant, giving people a feeling of full strength and the spirit of not bending when he is overwhelmed by the mountains.

This is the elite division that makes the enemy fearful!
Many of the imperial cabinet ministers had truly seen the Imperial Central Army for the first time, and they all secretly praised it.

"Welcome General Dong, General Pei, and General Situ to return to the court after their victory and triumph!"

Tantai Mingyue led all the civil and military officials to shout in unison.

"Master Tantai, all my lords, this Northern Expedition is entirely dependent on the Emperor's planning. We are just following orders. The greatest credit should be given to the Emperor."

Dong Xiaojun replied loudly.

"The Emperor is wise! The Emperor is mighty!"

Pei Yong shouted loudly.

"The Emperor is wise! The Emperor is mighty! The Emperor is wise! The Emperor is mighty..."

All the ministers and the people around them shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky.

Dong Xiaojun and the soldiers dismounted one after another, met Lord Tantai and the civil and military officials cordially, and exchanged greetings with each other.

At this moment, a group of common people rushed out from the city gate and rushed towards the soldiers behind.

It turned out that many of these soldiers' homes were in Yandi City, and there were also many families of soldiers who came to welcome them. The young and old gathered together, and it suddenly became more lively.

According to the arrangements of the imperial cabinet, soldiers from the three armies entered the city to be welcomed by the people, and then went to the Imperial Zhengyang Palace to receive the emperor's reward.

……

Qianyuan Palace.

After Lu Hao had breakfast, he went to Chongyang Hall to handle government affairs.

Although he knew that the army would return to the court today, he did not go to greet the soldiers. After all, he was the emperor of the empire now, and there was no need to condescend to pick up several generals.

There were no major events in the past two days, and Lu Hao was enjoying his leisure time. He favored the other concubines in the harem, and it was considered a blessing.

"Your Majesty, what are you still busy with? The soldiers of the three armies are almost at Zhengyang Palace."

Tantai Xiyao walked slowly with a smile on her face.

"So fast? Come, follow me to the court, and see the heroic appearance of the imperial generals."

Lu Hao pulled the queen and smiled happily.

The two of them quickly arrived at Zhengyang Hall from Chongyang Hall.

"Meet the Emperor! Meet the Queen!"

All the ministers knelt down and worshiped.

"Everyone is flat!"

Lu Hao waved his hand to excuse himself.

"Reporting to the Emperor, the Third and Fourth Army Corps of the Imperial Central Army have returned with a great victory. Their troops have returned to the court and are waiting for the Emperor's summons outside the palace."

Tantai Mingyue reported loudly.

"Hehehe... It's good to be back. Quickly send the three generals and other officers to the palace."

Lu Hao laughed happily.

"General Dong, General Pei, Situ Tianyin and other officers and soldiers are summoned to pay homage!"

The announcement of the decree came from outside the palace gate.

The three generals and their main generals strode forward with their heads held high and their chests high, and they knelt down at the same time. "General, I will pay my respects to the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

All the soldiers shouted in unison, the momentum was astonishing.

"All the generals are flat!"

Lu Hao said with a smile.

"In this Northern Expedition, the soldiers of the Third and Fourth Corps of the Imperial Central Army and the logistics force made great contributions. General Dong, General Pei, and General Situ were each rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold and a box of gold and silver jewelry. All officers and officers were promoted Level one, reward 1 taels of silver..."

Lu Hao directly began to discuss merit and reward.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

All the soldiers were excited.

"All soldiers take half a month off to go home and have fun with their families. Soldiers who died in battle will receive three times the pension, and an additional 1 taels of silver will be awarded..."

Lu Hao continued to add.

"General, on behalf of the families of the fallen soldiers, I would like to thank the Emperor for his love!"

The three generals of Dong Xiaojun immediately knelt down to express their gratitude.

"The first and second armies of the Imperial Central Army had previously gone south to suppress the rebellion. General Xuanyuan and General Liu were rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold and a box of gold and silver jewelry. All officers and officers were promoted to one level, and were rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver. They were also given half a month's leave. …”

Lu Hao looked at the other two beautiful generals and announced the reward loudly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

Two beautiful generals stood up and thanked them loudly.

"This time the army went on an expedition, the imperial cabinet and the civil and military officials each performed their duties and worked together, and their contribution was indispensable. According to the rank of each official, the reward was from one hundred taels to ten thousand taels of gold. At this time, it was handed over to Mr. Xu, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, for detailed implementation. God The rewards will be in place before the blackout."

"As for the Meiyue clan and secret agents under the Privy Council Supervision Department, the rewards will be distributed secretly by Mr. Wu..."

Lu Hao continued to announce loudly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward! Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

Tantai Mingyue and all the civil and military officials knelt on the ground and shouted long live, excited.

After all, they are in the rear area and the work they do is not very dangerous.

However, the emperor still did not forget them and gave them enough rewards. How could they not be happy?

"The north has been initially determined. The Chimir Grassland in the north has been incorporated into the territory of the Chinese Empire. I announce that the whole country will celebrate for three days, and various states and counties can allocate certain expenses..."

"In addition, tonight, I will hold a banquet in Changqing Palace to entertain all the soldiers. I specially allow civil and military officials to bring their families into the palace to celebrate the prosperous age of the empire with me..."

Lu Hao added loudly.

"Thank you for your love, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty is mighty!"

All civil and military officials quickly thanked him.

"The Queen, all the concubines in the harem, let them come together tonight, let's celebrate together."

Lu Hao turned to look at Tantai Xiyao and said loudly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Tantai Xiyao responded with a smile.

"Master Du, Minister of Etiquette, I will leave it to you to make detailed arrangements for tonight's dinner. The specific list and invitations will be sent out as soon as possible."

Lu Hao looked at Du Ze and explained loudly.

"Wei Chen has been almost ready for a long time. We are just waiting for the emperor's order."

Du Ze responded with a smile.

"Master Tang, Minister of Household Affairs, you will pay all the expenses for this celebration."

Lu Hao turned to Master Tang Yutang again.

"The minister leads the order."

Tang Yu responded loudly.

Now the empire is not short of money, so his life as the Minister of Household Affairs is the best and the most eye-catching.
