Bringing an army to the Imperial Capital was a great taboo. It would be serious if people misunderstood it as a rebellion.
"Tell the messenger to have General Yang bring the army back to the capital.”
"Also, inform all the officials to go to the city gates to welcome General Yang's triumphant return.”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhao Gao jogged out of the royal study.
Although she didn't know why Yang Zongbao didn't send someone to deliver the news in advance, it was a good thing that he had returned, so the news was no longer important.
In the evening, the sky was filled with red clouds. The scenery was magnificent!
The rumbling of iron hooves sounded like muffled thunder! More than 10,000 Right Wei Guards returned to court!
This time, the casualties of the Right Wei Guards did not exceed 500. It could be said that they had crushed the horse bandits!
Although a few horse bandits were fleeing, they were no longer able to do much.
Li Yun led all the officials out of the city to welcome him personally, and set up a banquet in the palace to welcome Yang Zongbao.
Tens of thousands of people were filled with excitement as they knelt down to welcome Yang Zongbao!
As they entered the palace, Li Yun held Yang Zongbao's hand and walked at the front. His smile was bright. His friendly appearance was clearly that of a biological brother. He was not a monarch or minister. Many officials were envious of him.
Only Jiang Bie He and the others had gloomy expressions, as if they had eaten a dead rat.
The Imperial Palace was filled with fine wine and delicacies. It was especially festive.
Li Yun cleared his throat.”
Yang Zongbao immediately took a step forward and knelt on the ground."Your Majesty! I'm here!"
"This time, my beloved minister has made a great contribution. Not only did you pacify the bandits, but you also brought back countless gold, silver, and jewelry from the horse bandits to enrich the national treasury.”
"I plan to reward you greatly!”
Yang Zongbao cupped his fists." I don't deserve it. It is my duty to serve the country and the people. I don't dare to expect anything else."”
A neutral minister stood out and laughed."General Yang, what is there to be afraid of? His Majesty is a person who rewards and punishes clearly. Since he has made a contribution, he must be rewarded greatly.”
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, why don't you appoint General Yang as the Great General of the Right Wei Guard and lead the Right Wei Guard?”
Liyun was ecstatic. The two people who came out to speak were obviously expressing their loyalty to Liyun. They were taking sides.
Liyun also noted down two people. These two people had sharp eyes.
Yang Zongbao was not particularly clear about what had happened in the imperial court. At this moment, he could not help but look suspiciously at the two people who were talking, wondering why this old fellow would speak up for him.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, it's fine!"
Another neutral minister walked out and knelt on the ground."The Right Wei Army is responsible for the safety of the Imperial Capital. For a long time, there has been no suitable candidate to lead the army.”
Liyun was not in a hurry. He wanted to see how many more people would stand up for him.
Seeing the officials in the court jump out to agree, Jiang Biehe, Shen, and the others clenched their fists tightly, their faces dark like water!
Li Yun had won over Yang Zongbao, which was equivalent to controlling the Imperial Guards. He had also taken advantage of the assassination incident to control the City Defense Army. Now, once Yang Zongbao became the General of the Right Guards, the Jiang family members in the Right Guards would be wiped out very quickly.
The Imperial Guards, the City Defense Army, and half of the Right Wei Guards of the Tang Empire returned to Li Yun's hands in just a few days.
The more Jiang Bie He thought about it, the more shocked he became.
Yang Zongbao was also suspicious. He did not know why so many people were willing to speak up for Li Yun.
It had been less than three days since he left the Imperial Capital, but the changes were a little drastic.
Yang Zongbao couldn't help but look at Li Yun in a new light.
Jiang Biehe was extremely distressed. He had already suffered a great loss in the past few days. He could not let Liyun continue to develop.
"Alright, since the ministers have no objections, then this matter is settled.”Li Yun said,
"Men, pass down the imperial decree. General Yang will be the Great General of the Right Wei Guards and will be in charge of everything in the Right Wei Guards. In addition, he was rewarded with 500 taels of gold, 800 pieces of silk, and 100 pairs of jade!”
"This time, all levels of the Right Wei Guards will be rewarded! The Ministry of Rites will be in charge!"
Li Yun spoke loudly and was very generous. The wealth Yang Zongbao had seized from the horse bandits far exceeded the money he had given out as rewards. Just the silver alone seemed to amount to millions of taels!
Apart from the treasury, everyone else was quite rich!
At the banquet, all kinds of congratulations to Yang Zongbao rang out.
Many of the officials who did not have a good relationship with Yang Zongbao also took the initiative to express their goodwill and sue for peace.
This stunned Yang Zongbao. He looked at Li Yun with confusion, but Li Yun only gave him a smile.
Looking down at the hall where her brother was surrounded by people, Yang Yuhuan was extremely happy. She blushed and said to Li Yun,""Your Majesty, ChenQie thanks you on behalf of Eldest Brother.”
She raised her wine glass and was about to toast him shyly.
Li Yun was also very happy. He grinned and whispered something into Yang Yuhuan's ear.
Immediately, Yang Yuhuan's face turned red with embarrassment. She avoided his gaze and said coquettishly,"Your Majesty, ChenQie doesn't agree!"
"Hahaha, come, beloved consort, let's drink.”Liyun raised his glass and drank with Yang Yuhuan. She rarely drank, so her face was red and very attractive.
Tonight's rewards were in harmony. No one jumped out to object.
There will be bad handsome, but the length is short. The male lead will wander the Jianghu as a bad handsome
