Chapter 519 Wang Jian Returns in Triumph
The Left Camp, led by General Wang Jian, swept across the Hedong rebellion with a force as powerful as thunder. Even before they returned to the capital, the news had spread throughout the capital like a spring breeze, and the people were eagerly waiting.
The next day, the army returned triumphantly and finally arrived in the capital.
Qin Hao led the civil and military officials to welcome them outside the city gate, and the common people swarmed in, blocking the city gate.
At the city gate, the royal guard of honor was lined up in uniform on both sides of the passage. Dozens of musicians dressed in gorgeous costumes, carrying suona, pipa and drums, were ready to welcome the return of the triumphant soldiers.
At this moment, Qin Hao's carriage had been waiting for a long time. Wang Yourong nervously held his big hand, his bright eyes looking forward to it, just to see his brother's figure as soon as possible.
Soon, dust and smoke rose slightly on the edge of the sky, and the military flags flew high. The army appeared in front of everyone like an iron stream, with a magnificent momentum that inspired awe.
Wang Yourong's face was filled with a brilliant smile, her eyes sparkling with excitement and joy. She opened her red lips slightly, and her voice was filled with undisguised joy: "Your Majesty, look, they are here. I finally see my elder brother's heroic figure."
Qin Hao glanced at her tenderly and lightly touched the back of Wang Yourong's delicate hand with his finger. His doting and comfort were self-evident.
Afterwards, he showed great vigor and waved his arm like a king commanding the world. Suddenly, a burst of passionate drum beats exploded, piercing through the clouds and splitting the rocks, echoing in every corner, instantly igniting the atmosphere on the scene.
At the same time, more than a dozen musicians plucked the pipa strings with their fingertips, and a passionate yet delicate melody rose slowly, like a clear spring flowing into a river, interweaving with the sound of drums to form a magnificent movement.
The drummers waved drumsticks tied with bright red silk, and as the majestic rhythm progressed, every beat seemed to strike at the heart, stirring up layers of passion and pride.
The sound of suona rises at the right time, gentle at first and then high-pitched, complementing the sounds of pipa and drums, with a magnificent momentum, like thousands of troops with swords and guns, or like tens of thousands of people shouting and charging into battle.
In an instant, a passionate and generous song "General's Order" was like the sound of nature, suddenly tearing apart the tranquility around, shaking every inch of space, as if even the heaven and earth changed color.
In everyone's ears, the "General's Order" was like the beating of a war drum, and every beat hit the heart hard, making people's blood surge and their blood boil.
Finally, when the last drumbeat fell like thunder, everything fell silent.
Time seems to freeze at this moment, the noise has dissipated, and only the lingering sound lingers in the air.
Wang Jian dismounted from his horse and handed the reins to the guard beside him.
Then, he took firm steps, as steady as a mountain, and strode towards Qin Hao. He knelt on his knees, and his voice was as loud as a bell, piercing through the silence around him and echoing over the capital: "Your Majesty, I, Wang Jian, have returned in triumph with the soldiers of the Left Camp. With your Majesty's blessing, we will fulfill our mission and completely quell the rebellion in Hedong."
There was a fiery light in Qin Hao's eyes. He stepped forward and steadily lifted up the dusty Wang Jian with both hands. The excitement in his heart could not be suppressed, and it turned into an indescribable smile at the corner of his mouth.
This was not only the first time the army went out to fight since he ascended the throne, but also the first victory. Its significance is so profound that it cannot be fully expressed in words. It was undoubtedly an important battle that laid the foundation for his governance of the country.
"All soldiers, stand up quickly!"
Qin Hao's voice was loud and powerful, and every word seemed to carry the power of inspiring people. "I am very pleased! Gao Lishi, pass on my order to reward the three armies and reward them according to their merits to commend their bravery!"
Wang Jian's voice was deep and full of respect, resounding through the sky: "On behalf of all the soldiers, I thank Your Majesty for your grace!"
In an instant, thousands of soldiers seemed to be united by an invisible force, and they cheered in unison, shaking the earth: "Long live His Majesty, long live Daxia!"
The cheers were like rolling spring thunder, deafening.
Along with the cheers of victory in suppressing the Hedong rebellion, the sadness felt throughout Daxia over the death of Emperor Taizong was instantly diluted.
When the excited voices gradually subsided, Qin Hao was beaming with joy. He gently held the gentle and dignified Wang Yourong with his left hand, and tightly grasped Wang Jian's hand with his right hand. His eyes were shining with joy and excitement that could not be concealed: "Go back to the palace, follow me to the palace, and share the glory of this victory!"
All the way into the palace, Qin Hao walked at the front of the team holding Xiao Jian's hand. Their cordial behavior seemed like that of a brother, and they totally ignored the difference between the emperor and his subjects in the court, which made many ministers jealous.
At this moment, among the crowd, two completely different gazes fell on Qin Hao at the same time, with completely different colors flashing in their eyes.
"Damn you Qin Zitian, you big liar, I never thought you were the licentious, bloodthirsty tyrant. I was really blind to believe your lies."
Ping Wuying's body was trembling, her full breasts kept rising and falling, her beautiful eyes were burning with rage, as if she wanted to eat Qin Hao alive. She gritted her teeth and said, "You dog emperor, just wait, I will make you pay a heavy price for this deception!"
Every word she said was like a sharp blade, cutting through the air and also cutting through the trust and fantasy that once existed.
In another corner not far away, Xu Jingshu's eyes were as gentle as water, locked on Qin Hao affectionately, and murmured to herself: "So you really are the emperor of Daxia..."
Her voice was filled with inexplicable emotions, and a throbbing love completely occupied her heart.
The group arrived at the magnificent Hall of Supreme Harmony, which was brightly lit, reflecting a festive and peaceful scene.
The palace had already prepared fine wine and delicious food to welcome Wang Jian and other triumphant generals. For a time, the air was filled with the atmosphere of victory and joy.
After three rounds of drinking, Qin Hao gently put down the crystal clear wine glass in his hand, his eyes flashing with approval and expectation. He cleared his throat and said in a loud and magnetic voice: "General Wang Jian!"
Wang Jian was shocked when he heard this. He then strode out of the ranks and knelt firmly on the ground, saying in a firm and respectful voice: "Your Majesty! I am here!"
Seeing this, Qin Hao raised a satisfied smile. He laughed loudly, and his voice echoed in every corner of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, full of the aura of an emperor: "During this expedition, you not only quelled the banditry, but also brought back countless money and grain for the court, greatly enriching the national treasury. This is a double achievement, a double happiness!"
"I am very pleased and have decided to reward you handsomely to show your outstanding military achievements!"
Wang Jian was excited when he heard this, but he remained humble. He clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. As a citizen of Daxia, it is my duty to fight on the battlefield and defend my country."
"This achievement is the result of the dedication of all the soldiers. I dare not take all the credit for myself."
