Chapter 274 Peach King(1/2)
A large flag with the character "Liu" fluttering in the wind.
The knights were neatly arranged in formation. They were all light cavalry. There were more than a hundred people in total. They were escorting the trophies and were heading towards Yecheng quickly.
Among the knights in front and behind were many carriages and captured generals.
On the carriage was the prepared head, as well as various flags, war drums, swords, etc.
The leader was very young, he looked less than twenty years old, and his beard was not fully grown. However, the war horse under his crotch was extremely tall and strong, which made him even more petite.
This is none other than Qinghe King Gaomai.
He also has another identity, that is, he is the commander of the Five Prefectures under General Wei!
The city of Ye was looming in the distance. Before we got close to Ye City, we first saw the ceremonial guards who came to greet us.
The ministers gathered on both sides of the road, with yellow canopies and drums.
Seeing this posture, Gao Mai was slightly startled, and then ordered the knights to dismount.
The musicians began to play the triumphal music, and the knights of Yecheng rushed around and lined up to welcome him.
Gao Wei stood in the queue with great interest, looking into the distance with bright eyes and a good mood.
And behind him, stood many important ministers.
Except for Pengcheng King Gao Jun, almost all the other ministers are here, including Gao Rui, Gao Yan, Lou Rui, Hu Changren, Gao Yuanhai, Gao Xiaoyu, Zhao Yanshen and so on.
Their expressions are different.
Anyway, most of the important ministers were unhappy. Gao Rui kept a straight face and said nothing. People like Hu Changren and Gao Yuanhai had their unhappiness written directly on their faces. Only two of them were smiling and looking forward to it.
Gao Yan and Lou Rui.
Especially Lou Rui, who was grinning from ear to ear at this moment.
"Hahaha, when I was in Liyang, I knew that Duke Dingxiang was going to achieve great things!"
"I taught him his fighting skills. I knew then that he would be a pillar of Daqi in the future!"
"It's exactly what I expected!"
"Now that there are good news coming from the frontier fortress, does Yu Wenhu still dare to speak nonsense?"
Lou Rui's voice was so loud that although the ministers around him were unhappy, they couldn't refute him.
Gao Yan was the only one who agreed with him, "Mr. Liu is really extraordinary."
Finally, Gao Mai led everyone closer to them, and Lou Rui also stopped talking.
Gao Rui whispered: "Your Majesty can go there first."
The smile on Gao Wei's face dissipated a little. Although Sister Lu had always persuaded him to respect Gao Rui and obey him, Gao Rui was really disappointing.
You always have a strong attitude and like to give yourself orders. Can the emperor still be driven by you?
He deliberately stood there and pretended not to hear anything.
Gao Rui frowned.
Gao Mai came forward and paid homage to the emperor.
"Your Majesty!! There are many good news for the frontier!!"
"explain!!"
"Gao Changgong, the governor of Youzhou, and Yao Xiong, the commander of Yan State, defeated the Turks in Jundu Mountain, killed the Khan of the East and captured more than 20,000 people."
"Present your head!!"
Gao Mai said loudly, and some knights came forward with the processed heads, and some knights came forward with swords, big flags, gold drums and other items that showed the identity of the other party.
Gao Wei hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand and picked up the head, looking up and down, "The barbarians outside the border fortress don't look any different?"
Gao Mai continued: "Pi Jinghe, the governor of Anzhou, and Zhang Heizu, the commander, conquered Kumoxi. They defeated the Xi people and the Khitan people in Raole. They killed the Xi people Changqi Jin, captured more than ten thousand, and gained a lot of cattle and sheep."
"Present your head!!"
Another knight offered his head, etc. This time, Gao Rui and others were shocked.
Liu Taozi's men also went to fight with the Xi Ren Khitans??
How come we don’t know??
Before Gao Wei could speak, Gao Rui couldn't help but ask, "When did this happen?"
Gao Mai replied loudly: "Previously, the Turkic army was hoarding outside Youzhou. The Xi people had evil intentions. They first colluded with the Khitan people and got close to the Turks together. They wanted to join forces with them to invade the border fortress and defeat the Turks before King Lanling.
When the cavalry was on the way, Pi Cishi led more than 3,000 cavalry from Andi to attack the Xi people in Raole, beheading their leader and defeating the combined forces of the Xi people and the Khitans."
"Why didn't you give the temple a good report?"
Gao Mai then said: "Your Majesty, the elite soldiers and generals at the frontier often go out to fight, and there are too many good results. Except for those important ones, they never bother the temple! So as not to make the temple troublesome!"
Gao Rui's face turned darker, but Lou Rui almost laughed out loud.
Gao Mai was actually complaining about his dissatisfaction with the temple.
The frontier fortress fought several victorious battles in these days, and there were countless small battles, but the temple never gave any rewards, and Liu Taozi had the full power to do the rewards on his behalf.
Gao Wei couldn't understand what it meant, so he picked up Xi Ren's head again and looked at it.
Gao Mai said loudly again: "Chijie, Kaifu Yitong three divisions, Beishuo, Beiheng, Dongyan, Beiyan, Yan, An six prefecture governors, Hengshuo chief governor, General Wei, Dingxiang County Duke
The soldiers attacked the Zhou people, defeated the Shiyashan fortress, killed Liu Yong, the puppet general of Zhou, and captured more than 10,000 people."
"Present your head!!"
For a time, the important ministers began to be in an uproar.
That's right, they don't know about this either.
They only knew about Gao Changgong's defeat of the Turks.
And when the other party presented his head and other things captured, such as documents related to the city, the ministers were speechless.
Even Lou Rui was particularly shocked at this moment.
The people of Zhou gathered an army and prepared to go out for war. All the people in the land were in panic and were thinking about how to resist. But when they got here, the situation changed and it turned out that the people of Zhou were still being beaten.
In the past, the people of Zhou Dynasty "dug the Yellow River", but from this year onwards it is the turn of the people of Qi to "dug the Yellow River".
But it seems that here in Liu Taozi, the Zhou people continued to 'drill the Yellow River'.
Gao Wei still didn't understand the key, so he picked up Liu Yong's head and had a great time playing with it.
Their family, no matter how big or small, is always in trouble with others.
Gao Rui's expression was complicated, with a mixture of sadness and joy. His whole body shivered for a long time, and he didn't know what to say.
In the end, he just sighed.
"Deserves a reward."
Gao Wei laughed loudly, his eyes filled with pride. When my grandfather was still here, the enemies had all reached Jinyang, but as soon as he ascended the throne, he achieved a series of great victories!
Sure enough!
Destiny is up to you!
Just when he was thinking about how to reward himself, Gao Yan walked up to him and said softly: "Your Majesty, the soldiers have made great contributions."
This is a reminder of his reward.
Gao Wei woke up immediately. He looked at Gao Mai in front of him with a smile, "Okay! General Wei is indeed brave! I like him very much!"
"Reward General Wei as King!!"
Gao Mai was shocked.
Even Gao Yan couldn't hold back. He wanted the emperor to praise him a few words, but why did he grant him the title of king as soon as he opened his mouth?
How old is Liu Taozi?
He has many military exploits, and there are many generals in the country who have great military exploits. Hu Luguang, it seems that none of these people have been crowned kings. Why did Liu Taozi be crowned king first?
Gao Rui hurriedly said: "Your Majesty! The reward must be discussed first and cannot be granted lightly."
Gao Wei became even more unhappy.
Do you need to discuss even making a king??
What does it mean to be crowned a king? Everyone can be crowned a king. Wouldn't it be great if everyone could be promoted and everyone could be a king?
Gao Wei only felt more and more disappointed, pouted, and stopped talking.
Just do it as you wish.
Gao Wei raised his head and ignored these people.
After Gao Mai and others entered Yecheng, they rushed to the palace. The officials had already made preparations for a banquet.
The little emperor just sat there for a while, then felt bored and left early.
Everyone had different expressions, and no one mentioned the reward.
At the same time, in a separate hall of the palace, Lu Lingxuan was ordering his son to serve tea to Liu Taozhi.
Liu Taozhi sat aside, wearing a mask, as usual.
Lu Lingxuan's attitude was much gentler. She smiled and urged her son to serve tea, and said: "General Wei has defeated several powerful enemies in a row this time. It is gratifying to congratulate him!"
"If you ask me, the only one who can save Da Qi from this crisis is General Wei."
"Mr. Liu, His Majesty has special admiration for you and General Wei."
"I heard him say before that he intends to make you father and son king." "However, the ministers may not agree to this."
Lu Lingxuan spoke softly, but Liu Taozhi said nothing, still looking cold.
"Mr. Liu, I am just a woman, and all I want to do is protect Your Majesty."
"I don't ask you to help me, but I can't protect Your Majesty by myself. I hope that if one day someone wants to murder Your Majesty, you can come forward."
