Confiscated and exiled, the down-and-out general became the queen

Chunxiang didn't know that after she cleaned up the general's mansion those days, when Leng Huaiyi returned home, she thought she had gone to someone else's home.

If it weren't for the three words "General's Mansion" hanging on the door plaque, he wouldn't dare to go in.

In recent years, they have all been at the border, so there are few people staying in the houses in Beijing.

These past few days, he had been verifying the lists of names submitted, and after making sure that the people were really missing, he sent people to various places to deliver money, so he was quite busy.

I had originally planned to repair it in the next two days, but unexpectedly, Xiao Lengyue had already given instructions.

Seeing that he no longer needed to take care of the yard himself, Leng Huaiyi asked someone to go to the human traffickers and buy a few old maids and doormen.

These people just do some odd jobs. If I'm not mistaken, my father will bring back all the servants from the Leng Mansion at the border.

After everything was ready, he began to wait for General Leng and others to return to Beijing.

After Xiao Lengyue sent someone to tell him the approximate time that Leng Shaobin and his companions would arrive, he began to give orders to people to prepare to welcome his grandfather back.

Given her status, she certainly couldn't go out of the city to welcome him, so she handed this task over to the Minister of War.

When the Minister of War heard that he would lead all the officials out of the city to welcome General Leng, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

He quickly bowed and said happily, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will definitely get this done."

Xiao Lengyue nodded and said, "Tell General Leng and General Song to go back to their residence to rest first, and then they can return to the palace to resume their duties after three days."

After receiving the order, the Minister of War began to plan how to welcome the guests.

Before, he was a soldier under General Leng. When General Leng and his men were going to the border, he stayed behind because he had an old mother at home who had no one to take care of her. Unexpectedly, he was later promoted to the Minister of War by the late emperor.

He had been very happy when he heard His Majesty say that General Leng would return to Beijing to retire, but he had not expected that His Majesty would entrust this matter to him.

The Minister of War was afraid that he would make a mistake, so he went to ask the Minister of Rites to make sure that he would not cause trouble for General Leng. Only then did he feel relieved.

By the time General Leng and his men returned, the Autumn Examination had already begun.

After handing the matter over to Old Tutor Murong and the Minister of Personnel, she no longer cared about it.

Compared to the Autumn Examination, she cared more about the Spring Examination.

After all, those who pass the spring examination will directly take part in the palace examination, and then the selected officials can enter the court.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lengyue began to think about what questions would be tested in the palace examination.

On their way back to the capital, General Leng and his companions naturally heard the news that the Autumn Examination had begun, so they did not go into the city if they could avoid it.

Finally, at noon of that day, they arrived near Kyoto.

Song Ye looked at the place where he had rested when he was exiled, feeling mixed emotions.

He never imagined that the woman who was mistaken for a beggar that day was actually a person above ten thousand people.

When Song Ye thought about seeing Xiao Lengyue soon, his mood instantly became complicated.

He was riding a horse, but his mind was starting to think about how to coax Xiao Lengyue.

Ping An followed Song Ye and saw Song Ye like this. He thought he was worried about the lady who ran away, so he whispered, "General, are you afraid that the lady will come back to find you?"

When Song Ye heard this suddenly, he didn't react for a moment and turned to look at Ping An.

Ping An thought he had guessed it, so he said, "Don't worry, General. If Madam doesn't want to divorce, you can go and ask His Majesty for help.

Your Majesty is so reasonable, he would agree even if that person is from the Leng Mansion."

When Song Ye heard this, he said with a fake smile: "Ping An, when you go back, go to the military camp and run 20 laps."

After saying that, he rode the carriage and led everyone towards the city gate.

At this moment, all the officials had arrived at the city gate. They looked at the army slowly approaching and all laughed.

The people in the court were purged by Xiao Lengyue, and those who were still standing here were all good officials.

Although they were also worried that the Leng family's military power would threaten His Majesty, they admired General Leng.

What's more, they have heard that General Leng had long ago handed over the military power of the Leng family to His Majesty.

Although I don’t know whether this news is false, some words are definitely not groundless.

When Song Ye and his men moved closer, they saw officials in court robes standing at the city gate.

After a moment of hesitation, he came to General Leng's carriage and said, "Grandfather, His Majesty has sent officials out of the city to welcome him."

When Leng Shaobin heard this, he suddenly opened the curtain. After seeing clearly, he frowned and asked, "Your Majesty is not here, right?"

Song Ye shook his head, "Not really."

Hearing this, Leng Shaobin breathed a sigh of relief. If even His Majesty came, the atmosphere in the capital would change.

He straightened his clothes, looked at Song Ye and said, "Prepare a horse for me."

Song Ye didn't say anything. He quickly asked Ping'an to drive the horse over, and then let General Leng ride on the horse.

When all the officials saw Song Ye and General Leng in front, they all bowed and saluted them.

"Welcome General Leng back to the capital, welcome General Song back to the capital."

The officials' words stunned the people on the street. After they realized what was happening, they all knelt down.

Seeing this, General Leng quickly said, "Get up, everyone."

When the Minister of War heard this, he stood up, looked at General Leng, and said excitedly: "General."

Song Ye had already dismounted when all the officials were paying their respects. When he saw General Leng was about to dismount, he came to his side. After seeing him land steadily, he walked a few steps to the side.

General Leng looked at those familiar officials and laughed, "Long time no see."

As soon as these words came out, everyone sighed and said, "Yes, we haven't seen each other for almost 20 years."

General Leng saw that they had started to discuss, so he coughed lightly and said, "We still have to go back to the palace to report, so let's go into the city first. How about we continue our discussion tomorrow?"

When the Minister of War heard this, he quickly said, "General, His Majesty said that you should reorganize first and report back in three days."

The officials knew that they had returned with their families, so they quickly welcomed them into the city.

The people in the capital were very excited when they saw General Leng and Song Ye, but the streets had been blocked by soldiers, so they could only watch them from afar.

In a restaurant, when Xiao Lengyue saw General Leng and Song Ye, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Seeing that they were still in good spirits, she felt relieved.

After they passed by, Xiao Lengyue also stood up and left.

Since they didn't have to go to the palace, General Leng and Song Ye said goodbye to all the officials and went home with their families.
