"Men, enter the city first and ask for directions.”
Hou Junji was very anxious. He wanted to see Yang Hao as soon as possible so that he could continue to sell favors and buy people's hearts, so that Yang Hao could follow him to accomplish great things.
To put it bluntly, he had become a loyal thug for the big event that he and Zhangsun Wuji had prepared.
As the saying went, the new waves pushed on the previous ones, and the previous waves died on the beach. The old generals were all old, and they didn't have to worry about not being able to achieve great things by letting a descendant of a great general, a young general who was so famous in the country, be a fighter.
As for how to bribe Yang Hao, he and Zhangsun Wuji had already made up their minds.
Zhangsun Wuji's daughter, Zhangsun Xue 'er, was extremely sweet and had the appearance of a sinking fish and falling geese. Although her popularity in Chang 'an was not as high as Li Daozong's daughter, Li Xueyan, she was still ranked in the top five.
The daughter of the country's brother-in-law was not as noble as the daughter of a county king. But the aunt of the country's brother-in-law's daughter was the current empress!
Li Xue Yan could not compare to him in this aspect.
Also, when he was paying tribute to the soldiers who had died in the Western Regions, Li Daozong had said that Yang Hu might not have heard the promise clearly.
In other words, the Old Yang Family might not know that the current Commandery Prince was going to marry his daughter to Yang Hao.
Then, he could use the decree to get close to Yang Hao and Zhangsun Xue 'er. That would be perfect.
Therefore, for the sake of his great career, he was quite anxious to see Yang Hao!
At this moment, a Golden Armored Thousand Bull Guard was riding a horse and was about to enter the city to ask for directions. They had already asked for directions. Once their convoy reached the city gate, they would know the way and would not be delayed. How good would that be?
Hou Junji had to save this little bit of time. One could imagine how anxious he was. He wanted to achieve the great cause he had buried in his heart as soon as possible!
To be honest, he was getting more and more annoyed with Li Shiming.
Especially when she embarrassed him in front of so many people. He wanted him, the Minister of War, to invite his subordinates, who were several levels apart, back to court.
This slap made Hou Junji's resolve firm.
He had to complete his great cause as soon as possible!
"No need to ask!"
"I know the way. I'll lead the way.”
Eunuch Zhang stopped the Thousand Bull Guard from asking for directions and took the lead.
Oh?
"Eunuch knows the way?"
Eunuch Zhang smiled angrily." His Majesty thinks highly of the young general. He knows that we have met him once, so he asked us to come and announce the decree."”
Hou Junji thought carefully. Right, this Eunuch Zhang was the one who had gone to the Yang Sect last year to announce Yang Hao's appointment to Songzhou.
Hou Junji frowned.
As the Emperor, Li Shi Min had so many things to do, yet he was so dedicated to a small general. It seemed that he had to be nurtured.
Talents were in high demand, and they had to be cut off.
The group of people quickly passed through and went straight to the Yang Gate!
Hou Junji wore Qilin silver armor, and it was clear that he was of high status. Eunuch Zhang carried the imperial edict on his back and held a horsetail whisk in his hand. One look and one could tell that he was from the palace.
Of course, the most eye-catching ones were the forty Golden Armored Thousand Bull Guards.
Under the sunlight, his golden armor flickered.
It was obvious that the people from Hongnong had come from the Imperial Palace. Everyone loved to look at them, so they crowded around the entrance of the Yang Manor and surrounded them.
At the entrance of the Yang Residence, the two brothers were stunned. Ever since he became a guard here, he had never seen such a large formation. There were several carts and many boxes.
Could it be that the young master was not rewarded because of his great contribution, and the current emperor directly sent the reward to his family?
This was simply a great honor!
Cough cough!
Eunuch Zhang dismounted from his horse and raised the imperial edict with one hand. He shouted at the top of his voice,""His Majesty has issued an edict. General Ding Yuan of the Great Tang, Yang Hao, accepts the edict!!!!”
Everyone became excited when they heard that.
"Young Sect Master has really made a name for himself, His Majesty still hasn't forgotten about him even after he resigned!”
"Last year, he was still in the province under the door. This year, His Majesty has appointed him.”
"Honor our ancestors, honor our ancestors!”
"Old Yang's family has another hero."
The two honest brothers were dumbfounded. They were dumbfounded and did not know what to do.
"Two of you, who is going to call your master and young master out to receive the imperial edict?”
Oh oh oh!
"Grandfather, the imperial edict has arrived!"
" Grandfather, the imperial edict has arrived!"
Yang Cheng shouted as he ran. After a while, Yang Song and the four sisters, Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, walked out in high spirits.
Hahahaha!
Before he even arrived, a hearty laugh sounded.
He, Yang Song, was happy. His grandson could no longer resign from his post. He did not have to wait until the war to have soldiers at home.
His feelings for his country were satisfied.
His vanity of wanting his children and grandchildren to stand out so that he could show off was satisfied.
His special feelings for the military were satisfied.
He didn't need to guess to know the general content of the imperial edict. How could he not laugh?
"Eunuch Zhang, long time no see!"
"Minister Hou, it's been ten years since we last met in the capital!”
He was full of energy and confidence.
"Greetings, old general."
"Old General, how have you been?"
Hou Junji had completely abandoned his status as Minister of War and was now greeting a retired general like a junior greeting an elder.
He had given her enough face.
The Yang Family's branch family members were happy to see this.
Hehe!
"Old General, let's go through the process first before catching up!”
Hahaha!
"Of course, of course. Please, Eunuch.”
Eunuch Zhang once again raised the imperial edict with one hand."His Majesty has decreed that the Great Tang's Dingyuan General, Yang Hao, shall receive the decree!”
Yang Song had already prepared his speech and cupped his hands.""Yang Hao, the heir of the Yang family, is out on business. Yang Song, the head of the Yang family, received the edict on behalf of his grandson.”
Hou Junji's eyes widened.
"Old General, when did he leave? How can he leave?”
"I…"
Cough cough!
Eunuch Zhang glared at Hou Junji."Let's go through the process first. He doesn't know that an imperial edict is coming. It's also possible for the family head to receive the imperial edict on behalf of his disciples.”
Hou Junji sighed and retreated to the side, feeling extremely displeased.
I'm late, I'm late!
"His Majesty has decreed!"
"The Great Tang's Dingyuan General Yang Hao deserves a reward for his contributions to the country.”
"Yang Hao is a young hero. He cannot abandon his abilities and retire. Rejection of his request to resign.”
"Of course, considering my filial piety, I'll grant you three months of leave. You must enter the palace to meet the king before the second day of the sixth month.”
"I have ordered the Ministry of Works to build the Yang Residence in Chang 'an within half a year. After the completion of the Yang Mansion, the Yang family moved into Chang 'an and became loyal and filial.”
" Respect!!!"
Yang Song smiled, an excited smile.
"This subject receives the edict of gratitude on behalf of Sun!"
After Yang Song received the imperial edict, Eunuch Zhang ordered people to lift the cloth and open the box.
Li Shi Min was very understanding of the ways of the world. He had specially instructed that he must pass the decree at the entrance of the mansion and open the box at the entrance of the mansion. He wanted everyone in the Yang family to know about this.
Li Shiming was already a middle-aged man with a high EQ.
He knew that old people were a little vain. That little vanity of his that his children and grandchildren were more successful than his own.
By doing so, he let everyone know that the Yang Sect had received such a reward, greatly satisfying Yang Song's vanity.
This way, he did not have to worry about Yang Hao not entering the palace.
"Old General, these are all gifts from His Majesty.”
"His Majesty is very stingy. He doesn't even treat his own daughter so well!”
"His Majesty said that you can come early.”
"When the time comes, your seat will be next to Marshal Li Jing on the ceremonial stage!”
The fact that his position was next to the marshal made Yang Song feel very uneasy.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
