Chu Tianjiao was impatient and marched slowly with the army. He took Feng Jia and others away from the team and returned to Shangjing in advance.

As soon as he arrived at Liyang Houfu, the concierge saw several people and horses. He shouted excitedly and ran into the house, shouting all the way: "The eldest lady is back, the eldest lady is back!"

Like a gust of wind, Chu Tianjiao whirled into the upper courtyard and saw Mrs. Chu standing in the courtyard, rubbing her hands and waiting eagerly.

"Grandma! My granddaughter is back!"

Chu Tianjiao stepped forward and hugged Mrs. Chu into her arms.

"Okay, okay, okay! Just come back!"

Mrs. Chu burst into tears and caressed Chu Tianjiao's back excitedly, not dissatisfied that Chu Tianjiao's armor hurt his hands.

According to the rules, Chu Tianjiao could not go home or take off his armor before entering the palace to return the order.

The army will not arrive until tomorrow. Chu Tianjiao will go out of the city tomorrow to join the army, and then enter the palace with Wu Ningbo and Chu Minyu to repeat the order.

The grandfather and grandson entered the house. Mrs. Chu helped Chu Tianjiao take off her armor, and then began to break her and check around to see if there were any injuries.

"Grandma, I'm not hurt!"

Chu Tianjiao was indeed lucky this time, and because the dark iron armor given by the former prince was tough, it blocked many swords and guns for her, and she was indeed not injured.

Mrs. Chu felt relieved after checking it herself.

"Xiao Cui, hurry up, ask the kitchen to prepare what the young lady likes to eat."

Grandma Li smiled and replied: "Old madam, I have already given the order."

Mrs. Chu led Chu Tianjiao to the Qingsong Courtyard again, "Go back to your courtyard first, take a bath, and then come over to eat later. This trip will be very difficult for my good granddaughter..."

By the time Chu Yun'er, Li Wanniang and others arrived at the Upper Courtyard, Mrs. Chu had already accompanied Chu Tianjiao to Qingsong Courtyard.

I don’t know if it was because Chu Tianjiao had returned from his first expedition, but Mrs. Chu was particularly clingy today. She followed Chu Tianjiao every step of the way until dinner started.

Early the next morning, Chu Tianjiao left the city and rode thirty miles to join the army.

An hour later, the sixth prince Lu Yuanqing came to greet him with an imperial edict.

Emperor Xuanwu Ningbo, Chu Minyu and Chu Tianjiao entered the palace to repeat the order, and the others returned to the Xishan camp as a routine.

After entering the palace, Emperor Chengzong removed his armor, and the three men formally removed their armor and resumed their orders.

"My dear friends, you have had a hard time on this trip!"

Emperor Chengzong smiled broadly, his eyes first fell on Wu Ningbo's face, and then he quickly left and looked at Chu Tianjiao.

"Let's all get back together. The eldest girl of the Chu family really impressed me this time!"

The emperor began to praise Chu Tianjiao vigorously.

On the one hand, Chu Tianjiao has indeed made great contributions, and on the other hand, Chu Tianjiao is a woman, so giving as much credit as possible to her will not harm the overall situation.

Chu Tianjiao was not afraid of Emperor Chengzong either. Although this one was original, after Lu Yuankui's death, he often boasted about his great achievements in the Ancestral Temple.

Chu Tianjiao knew the emperor's character well and began to flatter him.

“The reason why I have achieved so little success is because Your Majesty makes good use of people in an eclectic way.

If His Majesty had not given me the opportunity to go on an expedition, I would have been trapped in my boudoir.

Your Majesty's open-minded mind can accommodate mountains, rivers, sun and moon, and your Majesty's ingenuity is so uncanny that the little thieves of Dongyi are frightened by the news..."

Lu Yunkui was given a rainbow fart by Chu Tianjiao, which made him feel extremely comfortable.

He began to lean forward unconsciously, looking at Chu Tianjiao as if he was amiable to his nephew, as if to say: "What other advantages do I have? Please tell me more about them."

The ministers in the palace listened to the emperor and Chu Tianjiao exchanging blows, and they all looked at Marquis Liyang, who was standing at the head of the generals. They seemed to be asking: "Why is there such a eloquent person in your Chu family?"

Marquis Liyang looked up at the ceiling, as if he didn't know anything and didn't care about anything.

Chu Tianjiao received the hint from Emperor Chengzong, and he did not hesitate to express his kind words and continued:

"Seventeen years ago, His Majesty personally conquered Dongyi, led the Chu army to Huanglong, and captured the Emperor of Dongyi alive..."

This matter was something that Emperor Chengzong would talk about every day in the Ancestral Temple.

Although he was only responsible for escorting the food and grass, when he boasted about it, it seemed that he was the one who commanded the war 17 years ago by the old Liyang Marquis.

Chu Tianjiao almost recited the exact words that Emperor Chengzong boasted in the Ancestral Temple, which made Lu Yunkui extremely happy.

He turned to Li Yanghou who was standing aside and praised:

"Hahaha, Chu Aiqing really gave birth to a good daughter, I envy her!

I have decided to make Chu Tianjiao the Princess of Wusheng Princess, retain the rank of General Wusheng, receive actual duties, and receive a reward of one thousand taels. "

Li Yanghou and Chu Tianjiao both came out to express their gratitude.

When the ministers heard this, some were unhappy.

Everyone has no objection to making Chu Tianjiao the princess with a reward of one thousand taels.

But retaining the rank of General Wu Sheng exceeded many people's expectations.

Liu Yushi first stood up and objected: "Your Majesty, when the county lord went to war, the title of General Wu Sheng you named was a false title from a first-grade general, and the title was changed from a false title to a real one. It should also start from the sixth-grade captain and be promoted step by step according to military merit.

Besides, although there are precedents for women to go to the battlefield in this dynasty, they have never held actual positions.Please, Your Majesty, take back your order. "

Lu Yunkui was a little stunned.

He felt like he was a little impulsive.

Chu Ye stood up and spoke loudly to Liu Yushi: "In this battle, Chu Tianjiao saw through Dongyi's treacherous plot and led five thousand cavalry to rescue Yongping Pass in time. When the guard of Yongping Pass was killed, he saved the Yongping Pass.

He also lured the enemy into the city and set up an ambush, killing 5000 of them.

Then they made a surprise attack on the main force of the Dongyi army led by Jin Richan outside Yongping Pass. In the battle of Yongping Pass alone, they killed more than [-] enemies.

After achieving such great achievements, who can say that she cannot hold a real position?

Could it be that the next time an enemy country invades our country, Liu Yushi, you will go to the front line in her place? "

Ye Linxuan also stood up to object, but Wu Ningbo glared and retorted:

"Ye Shangshu, no, it is said that you have been appointed as the minister now.

You said that Chu Tianjiao changed his strategy without authorization and delayed the rescue of Linhai. Who told you about your so-called strategy?

The Dongyi people set up a poisonous plan to encircle our Eastern Expedition army after breaking through Yongping Pass. Could it be that you discussed it with the Dongyi people?

If Chu Tianjiao hadn't seen through the Dongyi people's plot, our [-]-strong Eastern Expedition army would have fallen into a trap and died outside Linhai City.

Say, did you sell the news that we were going to Linhai to the rescue to the Dongyi people? "

Wu Ningbo counterattacked with this move, and Ye Linxuan was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and shouted at the emperor that he was wronged.

There was a lot of noise in the court.

Of course, the Chu family faction supports Chu Tianjiao taking up the actual post, but the other factions do not want the Chu family to suddenly have a first-grade general.

Just when everyone was making a fuss, Prime Minister Wang came out and began to play:

"Congratulations to Your Majesty for getting another great general.

As General Chu said, this battle was won because His Majesty used talents in an eclectic way.

How can ordinary people understand His Majesty's wisdom?

The veteran agrees with His Majesty’s reward for Chu Tianjiao. "

With the support of Prime Minister Wang, the leader of civil servants, Emperor Chengzong felt that he was indeed good at employing people.

What happened to the woman?As long as you can use it for me, what are you afraid of?

Women are much easier to control than men. If I am promoted to Chu Tianjiao, I don’t have to give Wu Ningbo, an old man, a real job.

Chu Tianjiao is the old man's granddaughter, and he doesn't dare to accuse me of being unfair.

How can these ministers understand my thoughts?

As a result, Emperor Chengzong ignored those ministers who objected, and officially awarded Chu Tianjiao the title of Princess Wusheng, from the first rank to General Wusheng, and received the actual post.

Wu Ningbo was already idle at home and no longer led the army.

After this great achievement in the battle, the emperor deliberately suppressed him and asked him to step down from his military post.

The emperor only extended Wu Ningbo's title for three more generations and gave him some gold and silver rewards.

Wu Ningbo didn't have any objections. After all, the emperor had promoted Zheng Chuang to Linhai General before, which was regarded as giving his grandson and eldest granddaughter the credit for his achievements.

Chu Minyu was promoted to another level. He was originally a fifth-level commander, but was promoted to a fourth-level general Xuanwei.

If it were the past, Chu Minyu would definitely be very happy.

But today, he was confused: "My sister is a first-level general Wusheng, and I am only a fourth-level general Xuanwei. How can I still let others live?"
