By the time they reached the capital, it was already early April.
Before entering the capital, Tang Feng had specially changed into a set of clothes sent by the ceremonial director.
Empress Dowager Li had specially ordered the palace's clothing bureau to sew it to fit Tang Feng's figure. The golden threads on the clothes were distinct, and it gave off a calm feeling.
Originally, Tang Feng had thought of entering the capital in his military uniform, but after much thought, he dismissed this idea.
The 2,000 soldiers who had followed Tang Feng back from Liaodong had all changed into special armor. Their horses had also changed into high-headed warhorses, making them look majestic.
Every dynasty in China cared about their reputation. No country could compare to this project since ancient times.
Two thousand border soldiers and five thousand capital soldiers escorted the two maids and one thousand captives into the capital through Yongding Gate.
At this moment, both sides of the street were already packed with commoners.
After Tang Feng led his army into the capital, the cheers never stopped. Of course, rotten eggs and vegetables were also flying out from behind to smash at Huang Taiji and the others.
In front of Zhengyang Gate, the little Emperor of Tianqi was already waiting there with a group of officials.
Tang Feng dismounted and knelt on the ground.
"Wei Zhongxian greets Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty.”
Behind him, the nearly ten thousand soldiers dismounted and half-knelt on the ground, cupping their fists in greeting.
"Beloved minister, please don't be polite." A bright smile hung on the little Emperor's face as he personally walked over and helped Old Wei up from the ground.
"Beloved minister, quickly bring zhen to see the Hou Jin's Baylor. Zhen has never seen those barbaric people in my entire life.”The little Emperor was playful after all.
Tang Feng naturally wouldn't disturb the little Emperor's good mood and personally guarded the little Emperor.
In the cage, the empress dowager and Mengerte sat in a corner. Their hands and feet were tied with iron chains, and they looked very miserable.
"Your Majesty, this person is the eighth son of the rebel king, Nurhachi, the Fourth Prince of the Later Jin Dynasty, Huang Taiji. Back then, in the Battle of Sa Er Hu, this person led his troops to defeat the Juniper Tribe in the west and the Malin Tribe in the north.”Tang Feng pointed at Huang Taiji and introduced him to the little Emperor.
Hearing Tang Feng's introduction, the little Emperor of Heaven Enlightenment became interested. He took the spear from the soldier beside him and used its tail to poke Huang Taiji's body twice.
"Dog emperor, in the future, my father will lead his army to destroy your capital and make you the ruler of the fallen country.”Huang Taiji opened his eyes and glared at him.
Before Huang Taiji could finish his sentence, Tang Feng waved the whip in his hand and hit Huang Taiji's mouth.
"Traitor, you dare to say that you will destroy my Ming Dynasty? In the future, I will bring millions of troops back to destroy your Houjin.”Tang Feng said coldly.
"Old Dog Wei, you will die a horrible death. The tens of thousands of soldiers of our Big Gold who died tragically will curse you from the heavens.”Huang Taiji pounced on the cell and roared.
When the officials behind heard Huang Taiji's roar, they couldn't help but gasp.
Did Wei Zhongxian really kill tens of thousands of Houjin soldiers in Liaodong?
Although they had all seen the good news, they thought that Wei Zhongxian was too arrogant and lied about his achievements. In fact, he had only killed a few thousand soldiers.
Who was Huang Taiji? He was a famous general of the Later Jin Dynasty, the son of Nurhachi. Since he hated Wei Zhongxian so much, it seemed that the news was true.
In the two great wars in Liaodong, tens of thousands of Houjin soldiers were actually killed!
How did this Wei Zhongxian do it?
"Your Majesty doesn't know that Eunuch Wei single-handedly charged into the enemy's formation and fought for a long time before capturing these two.”the eunuch behind Tang Feng said.
Hearing this, the ministers sucked in a breath of cold air.
Although they all knew that Tang Feng had outstanding martial strength, they did not expect him to be so bold. He dared to break into the Hou Jin army formation alone and capture the two Palace Lords alive.
"Haha, Eunuch Wei is indeed worthy of being the number one warrior of Great Ming.”The Little Tianqi Emperor's eyes emitted a golden light as he looked at Tang Feng and smiled sweetly.
"Your Majesty, it's about time to offer prisoners to the Imperial Ancestral Temple.”Liu Yijing walked up and said.
Initially, the little Emperor had wanted to go and see the other captives of the Houjin Dynasty. However, after hearing Liu Yijing's words, although she was a little unhappy, she could only give up.
After that, it was time to offer prisoners to the ancestral temple.
Tang Feng was a little drowsy from the complicated ceremony, but as the greatest hero, and the chief eunuch of the ceremonial director and the chief of the East Chamber, he had to stay by the little Emperor's side.
Moreover, he also felt that after returning this time, the little Emperor valued him more and more. Whenever he came and went, he would always be by his side.
By the time the prisoners were presented to the ancestral temple and the Ming ancestors were prayed to, it was already afternoon.
Then, it was the palace banquet. The so-called reward for the three armies, in fact, only Tang Feng and the few Liaodong generals could sit at the banquet.
At the banquet, Tang Feng finally met his Zhou Peigong.
At this moment, Zhou Peigong was the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War, a third-grade official in the court. Naturally, he was qualified to participate in this royal banquet.
The previous Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War, Wang Zaijin, was now promoted to Liaodong Strategy. This vacant position belonged to Duke Zhou Pei.
When the two of them met, they only greeted each other briefly and did not communicate much to avoid being seen through.
Zhou Peigong was a chess piece Tang Feng had placed in the Bureau of Military Personnel. Before he had complete control over the situation in the court, he would not expose his relationship with Zhou Peigong.
The Baohe Palace Hall was brightly lit. Tang Feng sat where the little Emperor was sitting. From time to time, there would be officials toasting him.
These officials had different thoughts. Some were just going through the motions, while others were secretly making eyes at him and taking the initiative to express their goodwill.
For those who took the initiative to express their goodwill, Tang Feng naturally chatted and drank with them enthusiastically. As for those who went through the motions, he followed them.
When it was late at night, the little Emperor was sleepy. Surrounded by a group of eunuchs and palace maids, he left Baohe Palace.
Tang Feng stayed there for a while before leaving quietly.
As soon as he left Baohe Palace, a young eunuch was already waiting at the door.
"Eunuch Wei, the Empress Dowager invites you over.”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:011720195:01PM
