Wei Renpu presided over the specific deployment of the former camp military office. Most of the imperial guards and some township troops returned south in batches, while Gao Yanqi and Liu Renzhan were stationed in Wu and Ping, but Youzhou City did not have a general to command troops, and only the city defense had no ability to attack.

When Guo Shao returned to Tokyo, the Mid-Autumn Festival had already passed.

The coolness of autumn did not affect the heat of the Tokyo atmosphere at all. When the ceremonial guards arrived outside Anyuan Gate (original Fengqiu Gate), the officials who were greeting knelt down in public! This time Guo Shao returned to Beijing and received the most lively welcome.

A long singing voice came into the carriage: "I welcome the emperor to return to the court with great victory!"

"My emperor lives forever!"

"Call your head..."

"Call your head..."

"Call me!"

Guo Shao looked at it on the car and felt that the etiquette of the ministers today was particularly pious. The crowd pressed their hands on the ground and hit the ground for a while, and prayed three times in a row.

Soon, another civil servant shouted: "Congratulations to the Emperor of Zhou for his martial arts to the country, his majesty shocked all directions, swept away the captives, and recovered the territory of the sixteen states abandoned by his predecessors. His achievements exceeded those of his predecessors, and his kindness was forever forever! The people in the world are protected by His Majesty. The emperor ruled the world, prospered the times, the people shared the prosperity, and the country and the country were safe and sound!"

The eunuch Wang Zhong quickly stepped forward and asked Guo Shao. Seeing that Guo Shao looked as usual, he walked forward and said, "Your Majesty has an order, and you will be calm and enter the city!"

There was also a soundtrack at this time. The drums on the city tower were quite rhythmic and loud. Guo Shao's emperor's ceremonial guard suddenly felt even more majestic! The ministers were surrounded by the front and back, and the elite cavalry guards were neatly coated and armored, and the imperial guards who were trained to follow the city. The momentum was really great.

When they entered the city gate, they went up to the street. There were crowds of people on both sides of the street. When people saw the emperor's ceremonial guard, some people knelt down. For a moment, the people were lying on the ground... Even if the emperor passed by, the people didn't have to kneel. Today is completely an exception.

Guo Shao returned triumphantly, and the people worshipped the emperor like they worshipped the gods.

"Long live...Long live..." The sound of sounds was heard, as if the whole Tokyo and the whole world were noisy.

Such a scene made Guo Shao feel like an emperor, completely above the mortal world. He could feel that people convincingly acknowledged his imperial power, and no one dared to question his godly status... It was difficult for the Northern Expedition to do this big battle, but it was completely worth it!

Behind the team, there was a prison carriage with Yelu Xiu Ge alone on it, and was escorted back to Beijing in full view of everyone. It seemed that no incident of throwing eggs and vegetable leaves to Yelu Xiu Ge. One reason was that the people were reluctant to leave eggs, and the other reason was that the people of Tokyo hatred for him was not that strong. After all, Yelu Xiu Ge never could have fought to Tokyo.

People were just talking about this prisoner, who was the first tiger general of the Liao Kingdom. The Emperor of Great Zhou wiped out all the cavalry of the Liao army and captured his commander alive.

But something that happened soon would make Yelu Xiuge quickly famous in Tokyo... Guo Shao personally led his people to the Xuanren Gongde Temple in the south of the imperial city.

The team stopped in front of the temple. Things were not as organized as before, and it seemed a little confused because the activity was not arranged in advance, so someone asked for incense and wine tribute.

Among the crowd, Yang Biao was the most excited. He shouted to Luo Mengzi's spiritual position portrait in the temple: "Third brother, brothers, bring your enemies to sacrifice to you!"

Everyone didn't say anything, but Guo Shao had made brothers with Yang Biao and Luo Mengzi before he was elected emperor. Many people have heard of this. Now Guo Shao is not called brothers with Yang Biao, but the relationship is still there, so he does not hide the matter at all.

Guo Shao lit incense himself and said, "General Yang, take Yelu Xiu Ge's head. We not only sacrifice to General Luo, but also to the heroic souls of soldiers who died in the Liao War!"

Yang Biao said: "Your Majesty is right, the Liao people have killed too many of us!"

When Yang Biao saw that Yelu Xiu Ge was being escorted over with his bracelet and anklet, he turned his face blue and grabbed Yelu Xiu Ge's random hair and pushed him in front of Luo Mengzi's round portrait.

Yelu Xiu Ge suffered a lot along the way, but at this moment he stood coldly looking up at the portrait without saying a word.

"Kneel down!" Yang Biao roared in anger and kicked Yelu Xiuge's calves. Yelu Xiuge's body tilted, and he gritted his teeth and did not kneel down. Yang Biao became even more angry and was about to kick again. At this time, Shi Yanchao walked up and slapped Yelu Xiuge's shoulder with a "bang". Shi Yanchao's huge palm, who was one head tall, pressed down.

I saw that Yelu Xiu Ge's face turned pale, his eyes widened, and his body lowered downwards.

"Ah..." Yelu Xiu Ge screamed and knelt down on his legs. His tears burst out and he shouted in awkward Chinese words, "I don't accept it! I will not let you go if I become a ghost, and I will avenge the 30,000 warriors who died in vain..."

The shouting was heartbreaking, and it echoed in this empty and closed temple, which was very heartbreaking.

Guo Shaoleng said: "You slaughter the unarmed people of my Great Zhou Dynasty, and you will die more than you can!"

Yelu Xiu Ge cursed: "How can a group of people be considered a human being!"

Zuo You said quietly behind, "The Liao Dynasty court will also kill Yelu Xiuge's family for us, which is considered a crime."

"Swish!" Yang Biao pulled out his sword, pressed Yelu Xiu Ge's head with one hand and held the sword with the other hand. Yelu Xiu Ge widened his eyes and couldn't shout at this time. When he saw the shaking sword approaching his neck, his eyes also showed fear. A cruel person may not be afraid of death.

But Yelu Xiu Ge finally didn't beg for mercy, after all, it was useless.

"Ah!" Yelu Xiu Ge trembled and painfully. Yang Biao directly held the sword and started sawing it when Yelu Xiu Ge was alive. The screams in the temple were silenced for a long time. The ministers outside changed their faces when they heard the movement.

Yang Biao's face and body were covered with blood. He held his head and placed it on the incense table, kneeling on the ground to bow. Guo Shao also bowed to the spiritual position.

Yang Biao picked up a pot of wine and poured it on the ground, then looked bloody and drank it up, and no longer spoke.

After offering sacrifices to Luo Mengzi, Guo Shao went out of Xuanren Gongde Temple and returned to the palace. He issued an order to celebrate the celebration at Jinxiang Hall tomorrow, and to deploy the rest of the troops today.

...The ministers bowed to Jinxiang Hall. When they saw Guo Shao get up and leave, they thanked him for his kindness and scattered the court.

Wei Renpu made a special trip to Zuo You: "I will go to the Privy Council to sit with the King's Envoy first, and then go home."

Because the two of them lived together in Youzhou for nearly a year, they became much more familiar with each other.

The two bowed each other under the stone steps of Jinxiang Hall, and Wei Renpu turned around and walked south. Unexpectedly, Zuo You followed and said goodbye just now. Wei Renpu was a little surprised and took a few steps slowly. He also saw the base of Jinxiang Hall above. If someone on the base was not visible under the stone steps, he accelerated his pace.

After walking for a while, Zuo You said: "Your Majesty returned to the capital this time and sacrificed to Xuanren Gongde Temple, but did not sacrifice to Taimiao... It is said that the officials of the Taimiao were ready, but they did not prepare for the affairs of Gongde Temple."

Wei Renpu said calmly: "Zuo Jiazheng feels that Your Majesty has neglected?"

Zuo You pondered for a moment and looked at Wei Renpu meaningfully, "If Your Majesty is negligent, did Deputy Envoy Wei not remind Your Majesty before?"

Wei Renpu said: "The Zuo Aunt is also near the imperial carriage, why didn't he remind me?"

Zuo You said: "Forget it, there are still a few months left this year, and Your Majesty may not necessarily come back and will immediately sacrifice to the Taimiao. The lower-ranking official said goodbye."

Wei Renpu looked back at the towering Jinxiang Hall on the high platform, and turned around and walked to the south. After leaving a palace gate, Wei Renpu entered the Privy Council and saw Wang Pu who had returned to the yamen first. The two of them did not go all the way after retreating. The servants came to serve tea, and they sat together to drink tea, and the atmosphere was very subtle.

Wei Renpu greeted me with a few pleasant words, and Wang Pu was cold in response, as if saying: Can you hide the twists and turns in your heart from my eyes?

Anyway, Wang Pu treats people with strategy and is very difficult to get along with. Fortunately, Wei Renpu has worked with him for many years and has become accustomed to it... Thinking about his understanding of Wang Pu over the years, if he one day he is promoted to the top of the former peak, he doesn't know if Wang Pu is calm in facing this matter.

Wei Renpu talked about the matter of competing for seats with military generals in Youzhou in an anecdote tone.

After hearing this, Wang Pu was very calm and said casually: "Deputy Envoy Wei doesn't have to worry about this."

"Yes, it's a trivial matter." Wei Renpu smiled, picked up the teacup, opened the lid and blew it, and took a sip.

Wang Pu said: "By the way, what country did the Zhou emperor enfeoff the land in Xuzhou?

"This..." Wei Renpu frowned and thoughtful, thinking for a moment, "Earlier, Xu Yougeng, a tribe of Kunwu, was herded by him, so one of them was enfeoffed by Xu. In addition, there are probably Li, Kang, and Yan?"

Wang Pu praised: "Deputy Envoy Wei is really a good memory."

Wei Renpu smiled and said, "Although Xiaguan and others have been in charge of military orders for the court for many years, they usually regard military affairs. However, they are still a scholar and have a lot of articles and classics."

Wang Pu nodded.

The two were silent for a while, and in the cold atmosphere, they seemed to be thinking about their own thoughts. Wei Renpu remembered what Zuo You said to him just now, and thought about it again, and understood it very much. However, he seemed more cautious at this time and was not willing to express his opinion easily... After all, it was a big deal, so he had to think about it carefully and talk about it a few more times.

So pretending to be stupid is a better way.

Unexpectedly, Wang Pu stared at his face, which made him feel very uncomfortable. Wang Pu was old, but his eyes were very sharp, and it was really not very pleasant to be seen. Wang Pu said: "Whire Inpu thinks which word is better?"

Wei Renpu said: "The lower-ranking officials are stupid and do not know."

"Deputy Envoy Wei didn't understand it for a while, then think about it again." Wang Pu picked up the teacup and still opened it and stroked the water surface without drinking.

Wei Renpu cursed in his heart. I guessed everything I thought was very interesting. But when I saw Wang Pu’s actions, I breathed a sigh of relief and stood up: "Xiaguan has returned to the court for the first time, and I can’t take care of the recent matters, and I can’t help Wang Envoy. Let me say goodbye first."

"Send to Deputy Envoy Wei." Wang Pu bowed and replied with a gift.
