Dominate the ancient academy

Chapter 332: Festive and Luxurious

Today the army is returning, and not only the court but also the people are warmly welcoming them. As soon as the time comes, both sides of the streets are filled with people who come to watch the army.

Although the status of soldiers in ancient times was not as high as it is today, they were still respected. After all, they were safer with the guard of these soldiers.

Now the soldiers have returned to the court to receive rewards. That means they have won the battle, so everyone is naturally happy. Looking around, you can see the people looking forward to it.

As time passed, soldiers wearing armor and holding weapons appeared before our eyes. They were in neat formation, with firm steps, flying dust and a huge momentum. The most shocking thing was the terrifying aura. They were definitely gods of war rushing out from the battlefield. Although people were scared to look directly at them, they were also full of a sense of security.

Only such soldiers can better defend their territory.

This team is full of fighting spirit, vigor and vigor, and their agile posture is particularly pleasing to the eye.

However, the most eye-catching thing is the general riding a war horse in the front. He is wearing black armor, with an upright posture and a powerful majesty that makes people afraid.

Even when sitting on a horse, one could tell that he was tall, with long limbs, and extremely handsome facial features, with a high nose bridge, eyebrows like scimitars, eyes like shooting stars, and his facial contours were impeccable and extremely eye-catching.

Even though the aura around him gave people a strong sense of oppression, people's eyes were unconsciously shifted to him because his handsome features were so perfect.

"This is what I imagined myself to be like in my ideal world. How come someone else has used it first?" Liu Xuanyu murmured as he looked at the army not far away. This was how he imagined himself to be in the future, successful and heroic. It was a perfect match for what he had in mind.

This ideal appearance has been stolen, and I wonder if God will be able to compensate him with a better one in the future?

Shu Xiaoxiao was also a little surprised. Senior Brother Yun had changed so much. The previous time they met was at night and she could only see his general outline. She only knew that her senior brother had not grown ugly, but she didn't expect that he would evolve to be so perfect!

If the senior brother in the past was a young man with a handsome face and unlimited elegance, making people want to have a pure love affair with him, but now the senior brother has been baptized by the battlefield, his originally fair skin has turned wheat-colored, he is tall, and his facial features are handsome. The aura that only belongs to an adult man is overwhelming. Facing such a real man, what's the point of having a love affair? You should just ask for support directly!

To be honest, Shu Xiaoxiao was a little moved by this look. This look was the ideal type of all women, but a rabbit does not eat grass near its burrow. Handsome men have always been admired from afar and not to be played with, let alone his own senior brother. She must keep her heart of Taoism and silently recite the Pure Heart Mantra in her heart. Shu Xiaoxiao quickly came to her senses and gestured, "Let's start!"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless petals, colorful balls and a lot of copper coins fell from the sky. The sound of tinkling was so crisp and pleasant that it touched his heart. It was slightly painful when they fell on his body, but it also made him happy. He wished that all the copper coins could fall on himself and be surrounded by money. How happy that would be!

This sudden situation made the originally solemn and dignified return of the army suddenly become beautiful, festive and luxurious.

Although the old saying goes that flowers go with beauties, but occasionally pairing them with such iron-blooded soldiers, the effect seems to be quite good. Seeing the petals falling, not only the common people but even the soldiers who were originally marching in unison were stunned. Is the top scholar parading today?

As the petals fell, the atmosphere in the whole street became lively. Before we could react, copper coins began to fall. Many people were shouting, and it was more festive than the parade of the top scholar. The original solemn atmosphere was gone, and everyone even felt strangely friendly. More people took out their purses or unmarked handkerchiefs and threw them down.

The people below looked at the copper coins they had picked up and their smiles widened.

There were also many people shouting "General, you are mighty!", "Daning will win! Will win!", "Thank you for your hard work, General", "The general is so handsome!", "These people have great physiques!" Of course, there were also many people who bent down to pick up copper coins, because these copper coins made them feel much better.

Shu Xiaoxiao even leaned over the window and shouted, "Senior brother, you are the best and the most handsome~!"

In such a situation, many soldiers, although they did not make large movements due to the formation, began to move their heads slightly. Their eyes were almost slanted to the back of their heads, but they still tried their best to maintain their heroic and handsome appearance. After all, these rough men had never seen such a scene with flowers and silver. This parade of the top scholar was just like this.

Although I felt a little uncomfortable, I was in a good mood. I didn't expect that people in Kyoto were so enthusiastic. It was completely different from what I heard. There were also copper coins scattered everywhere. It's worthy of being the Kyoto of Daning. They are rich. It's just a pity that they can't bend down to pick them up. It's all silver!

And petals of this color, although a little feminine, but seeing how popular I am, it’s really damn good, the original solemnity in my eyes has faded a lot.

Most of the soldiers who joined the army were from ordinary families, not to mention the bitter cold at the border, so they still liked silver very much. However, they also knew that they certainly could not pick up these copper coins now. However, some of them were thrown on their bodies, so they just moved their bodies casually, and the silver naturally fell on their bodies and clothes. Some of them who were agile also grabbed a few copper coins.

Except for having no place to put it, everything else is perfect. I didn't expect they would have such treatment. Next time there are soldiers, they will definitely come in advance to grab a good spot. This money falling from the sky is really tempting!

Faced with the copper coins flying all over the sky, the beautiful flowers, and the enthusiastic people, who could remain indifferent? The eyes that were originally emotionless and frightening became gentle, and there was even some embarrassment and shyness, and the murderous aura in the body could no longer be released.

The two princes and ministers who came to greet him were dumbfounded. Isn't this the treatment of the newly crowned top scholar parading through the streets every three years? When did it move here? No, even the top scholar doesn't have copper coins! Whose wedding is this? Are they trying to force the soldiers to marry?

This is what the soldiers want when they return to the court: dignity and solemnity. Looking at the joy and flowers that are everywhere, how can the soldiers still be solemn? The dignity of the soldiers is melted away with the falling of these petals and copper coins. They no longer look like killing gods returning from the battlefield, but like new recruits just getting ready to go to the battle. How can they still have any dignity? This... is the face of the court!

Whose idea was this? I must investigate thoroughly when I get back. This is simply too outrageous. Where does it put the dignity of the court?

I looked up and saw the window that was throwing the most flowers, laughing the most happily, and making the loudest noise.

Ok!

The biggest suspect has been found.

It’s Lord Ye. Only she could come up with this idea. She really has a lot of money but nowhere to spend it.

Forget it. They have never won against her. She has the emperor to protect her, so they should not meddle in her affairs. It is useless anyway.

Let’s just look at the censors arguing in the court. After all, the emperor is here!

They should hurry back to the palace and report! How shameful!

The Sixth Prince, on the other hand, had a face full of pride. It was obvious that this was the work of his junior brother. It was really festive. When he knew that it was soldiers from the border returning to the court, he would have thought it was some family getting married. Then he looked at his junior brother.

Well, you are worthy of being someone who has been to the battlefield and seen the world. If you can even laugh at this, then it's okay.

In the past few years, the junior brother has helped father to make money and has also improved his father's health so that he can go up the mountain to hunt tigers. In the emperor's heart, all the princes combined may not be as good as the junior brother.

So these are all minor problems. As long as he doesn't rebel, you can do whatever you want. We have the emperor to protect you. These are all minor problems.

Instead of worrying about his junior brother, he would have been better off looking at the aggrieved faces of his brothers. Just looking at their expressions, he could eat two more bowls of rice.

What did my junior brother say? Oh: I like the way you can’t stand me but can’t get rid of me!

This description is so apt; isn’t this a true portrayal of them?

When Yun Qinghan heard the voice, he looked up and saw his junior brother with a smile on his face who was still trying hard to throw flowers at him. He rarely smiled. It turned out that it was the junior brother's hand. No wonder it was so... so... unexpected.

This should be the surprise that the junior brother prepared for him, right? It was indeed quite...surprising. He received the enthusiasm in his heart. Yun Qinghan smiled gently at Shu Xiaoxiao and nodded, then rode away.

Shu Xiaoxiao covered her chest. Ah! The handsome man smiled, and he was so handsome that she touched her heart. If this was made into a poster, it would be sold out just by this one. Although she didn't have a camera, she learned to paint, so she could paint it when she got home. It would be the same if she often recalled it in the future. This was really damn handsome!

If this was an ordinary soldier, she would have to have a conversation with him, but she let it go with her own senior brother. She had a strong faith in Taoism and was just admiring him. As for handsome men, it doesn't matter whether she has him or not. His existence is pleasing to the eyes, and looking back a few more times is a bonus. Isn't that the case with Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan's fans!

Especially Brother Yun smiling against the backdrop of flowers, this was definitely a god-like scene. After seeing the scene, she realized that her work was not in vain, and the welcoming ceremony for the returning troops was really difficult to organize.

When she entered the city gate, there were princes and adults coming to greet her, and when she returned to the palace, the emperor was waiting for her. If she wanted to do something, she could only do it halfway, but she couldn't waste time, because the time to enter the city and the palace were all set in advance, and it would not be good to be early or late, so Shu Xiaoxiao could only think of a solution halfway.

There are more restrictions halfway through. The most famous one is the parade of the top scholar. That lively scene is so festive. She also added some copper coins, which made it even more festive. The combination of festiveness and festivity is simply perfect.

The emperor looked at the people who came back with some confusion. Although the procedures were correct, wasn't the atmosphere a little wrong?

Usually, when soldiers return to the capital, they are usually serious and solemn. They look like they can fight another battle right away, which can well demonstrate the majesty of Daning warriors.

But something was not right this time. The smile that had not faded yet, the relaxed atmosphere, and the officials' expressions of despair. No matter how you looked at it, something was wrong. It did not seem like a soldier who had experienced many battles!

Fortunately, Yun Qinghan, who was in the front, diverted most of his attention. After coming back from the training, looking at his majestic demeanor and physique, he was taller than him and had really grown up and could take on greater responsibilities. He was worried that Qinghan might be even colder when he came back, but now it seemed that Qinghan had a gentle temperament and a steady breath. He had really grown up. Emperor Jingming was filled with relief.

It was not until he heard people reporting their experiences on the road that even Emperor Jingming twitched his mouth for once. No wonder the soldiers who were invincible on the battlefield seemed a little strange in front of him. It turned out that they had been baptized by enthusiasm, with flowers and copper coins, so no wonder they looked so worthless!

"Well, Lord Ye is well-intentioned, and the harmony between the military and civilians is also a good story!" Emperor Jingming explained to Shu Xiaoxiao. They couldn't hold the Lord accountable for such a small matter. After all, he was still young, and it was normal for some deviations to happen!

Isn't this also a kind intention?

Eunuch Fu lowered his head, knowing that this would be the result. He felt sorry for those imperial censors, who would probably have to complain in the court again. However, at such an old age, it would be healthier for them to exercise more.

Most of the soldiers this time were promoted by Yun Qinghan. Yun Qinghan has both ability and status. With his ability and Shu Xiaoxiao's help, promotion may be a difficult journey for others, but it is a piece of cake for Yun Qinghan. His ability can allow him to quickly gain a foothold in the army.

His identity also ensures that his credit will not be taken away by others. Of course, his success is also the result of real ability. He also disdains fraud, and there is no need to forcibly take away the credit of others.

His strong martial arts, outstanding military talent and leadership ability are enough to make him invincible on the battlefield, so his success is both inevitable and reasonable.

As his abilities were demonstrated, more people naturally followed him. The people he brought back this time were all those who had performed outstandingly in recent years and had made many military achievements on the battlefield. It was also the intention of Emperor Jingming to bring them back to be conferred titles.

After all, he is his nephew. He should be rewarded for his contribution. Moreover, he has been away for such a long time and has several fellow apprentices of similar age. It is impossible for his fellow apprentices to remain unmarried. He is worried about his own sister.

He is the only child in the family, and he is always on the dangerous battlefield. How can we not be anxious?

At the border, looking around, eleven out of ten people are men. Even if there are girls, they are not worthy of the dignified Young Master of Dingbei Marquis’ Mansion, so they have to go back to Kyoto to get married!

Therefore, this time when he came back, Yun Qinghan had to receive the title and get married. He was already 21 years old, and it would be disastrous if he didn't get married.

For this reason, after the conferment ceremony, while everyone else was happy, Yun Qinghan was called for a special talk!
