Chapter 4311 The Merits Are Equal to the Faults

At this moment, Qian'er felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

But one thing is certain, she is happy.

She was happier than anyone else to see Xiaozhuang at this moment.

"Have you just come back?" There was a smile on her face.

Xiaozhuang nodded: "Yes, I just arrived in Beijing."

"Have you met the emperor?"

"I was about to go see you." Xiaozhuang put the umbrella into her hand and said to an attendant behind him, "Escort the princess back to her home."

"Yes, sir." The attendant immediately led a horse over.

Xiaozhuang said to Qian'er: "I'm sorry to say goodbye."

He turned over and mounted his horse, riding like a horse.

Qian'er stared at his back blankly.

The silver fox fur coat he was wearing was given to him by her when he left.

I didn't expect him to keep wearing it.

The attendant said softly: "Princess, please mount your horse, and my subordinates will escort you back to your home."

Qian'er nodded, grabbed the reins, and jumped up.

Now that she is riding a horse, she no longer needs to choose a docile horse, but she still misses the little red horse that the emperor specially selected for her, and the way Xiaozhuang looked when he protected her.

This time Xiaozhuang completed his task extremely well.

Not only did he successfully eliminate the gangsters, he also instigated most of the gangsters to join the local guard as soldiers.

The land of Shaanxi and Gansu is still clear and bright.

The dragon's heart is filled with joy.

Everyone thought that this time he would be rewarded heavily, and he would be promoted no matter what.

Unexpectedly, the emperor was very happy, but he did not give any reward to Xiaozhuang.

It seemed like what he was doing was just an ordinary thing.

Xiaozhuang was also very calm. It didn't matter to him that the emperor didn't reward him.

Only those who are well-informed know that the commander went to Shaanxi and Gansu to suppress bandits because he was punished by the emperor.

When he accomplished this, it was just a matter of merit and demerit.

Naturally, the emperor would not reward him with anything.

As for what the emperor punished him for, many people knew something about it.

The commander dared to resist the order and was unwilling to lead the troops on the expedition.

What's the reason?

Most people can't figure it out.

Suppressing bandits also involves using knives and guns. What is the difference between going out to fight?

Of course, Xiaozhuang will never explain it to anyone.

No one had the guts to ask the emperor.

This matter has become a mysterious incident that only a few people know the inside story.

The next day is New Year's Eve.

A banquet was held in the palace, and all the princes and nobles attended in their best attire.

Queen Caicai also entertained ladies inside and outside the harem.

The concubines and ladies were seated to the fullest, with birds and birds flying in the air, and flowers in full bloom.

The child took leave of absence and did not attend because she was pregnant and did not like the smell of alcohol.

Qian'er didn't like this kind of lively scene very much, but because Niuniu was coming to play with her friends, she brought her children over. She didn't socialize with others, only sat and drank alone, and occasionally chatted with her close family members. A small talk.

In the past few years, under the emperor's governance and the solid foundation laid by the late emperor, the Zhou Dynasty was basically in peace and prosperity. Coupled with the overseas trade routes developed by Yunji, the people's pockets became richer.

The people are prosperous and their lives are easy, and this new year will be festive.

If we ignore the war that is still going on in southern Xinjiang, the Great Zhou Kingdom on this New Year's Eve can be regarded as peaceful and peaceful.

However, the security of the border concerns the entire country.

While the banquet was in full swing, the imperial court received an urgent report from southern Xinjiang——

Zhou Xu died in battle and Prince Lian was injured!

This banquet can no longer go on.

Yan'er urgently summoned the cabinet, ministers from the Military Aircraft Department and the Ministry of War to enter the palace for discussion.

Qian'er was shocked when she found out.
