Chapter 229
The king who came out of the palace gate strode forward eagerly, the maids and eunuchs behind him followed closely, and the imperial guards who came out first had already lined up on both sides.

The king quickly walked towards the generals who dismounted from their horses, and greeted the triumphant return of those generals who fought bloody for the country with sincerity.

The great victory of the Northern Expedition and the occupation of almost all other countries in Beizhou, this is not only to expand the territory, but also to dominate the Beizhou!
Now that the generals who have completed their hegemony are returning in triumph, how can the king not go out to greet them.

It stands to reason that he should lead all civil and military officials out of the city to greet him, so that he is worthy of this extraordinary feat, but I don't know why the king didn't do this.

From the eager and sincere face of the king, it is obvious that he is not dissatisfied with the triumphant soldiers, but why?

At this time, the generals at the entrance of the square also got off their horses. Seeing the Royal Forest Army lined up, the king personally greeted them. For some reason, there was no excitement on the faces of these people.

Handing over the horses to the care of special personnel, these generals strode towards the opposite king together.

The ones walking in the front are naturally the coach of the Northern Expedition, Yu Tiankuang, and Prince Wu Honglie.Behind them are the other generals of the Northern Expedition, among them the commander-in-chief of Qingfengguan, Zhu Gang who once entertained Yu Xiaotian is impressively listed.

Facing the king striding towards this side, Yu Tiankuang, Prince Wu Honglie and others also walked over in a hurry.The two parties finally met not far from the palace gate.

"The final general will see His Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

All the generals, including the soldiers behind them, knelt on one knee and saluted very respectfully.

"Please hurry up, the old prince and all the soldiers have worked hard,"

The king hurriedly supported Yu Tiankuang with both hands, and said to him and the generals behind him very moved. Hearing what the king said, the generals got up under the leadership of the prince and the old prince Yu Tiankuang.

When they got up, the king said loudly, very seriously:

"Everyone has fought all the way and made great contributions to the Wu Kingdom. On behalf of the people of the whole country, I would like to thank you and all the soldiers of the Northern Expedition. It is you who created the eternal prosperity of the Wu Kingdom with your blood and sacrifices. Now the Wu Kingdom is ready. In the promotion ceremony of the empire, Wu Kingdom will become the only empire in Beizhou."

"Long live Wu Kingdom, long live Your Majesty!"

Hearing the king's personal commendation, all the generals were all very excited.In particular, I heard that Wu Kingdom will be promoted to the Empire and become an Empire. This is a world-class feat. If this is the case, their rewards will definitely be extremely generous.

The king's face was also very excited. He raised his hands and waved to everyone, signaling them to stop, and then continued:
"Soldiers left their homes to fight all the way, and your family members must be extremely worried. You should return home to reunite with your family first, and wait for the ceremony of ascension to the country three days later to reward all those who have made meritorious deeds."

"Yes!"

Nearly a hundred generals saluted the king again, and then went home with great excitement to reunite with their families.

Only Yu Tiankuang, Prince Wu Honglie and a few main generals were left in the square. They knew that His Majesty would have something to discuss, so they left.

Only then did the king have time to look at his son, and he eagerly looked up and down at his son Wu Honglie in front of him.

It's dark and thin, but fortunately there is no injury!

Looking at his son, the king, he thought with some distress, but seeing the fortitude exuding from his son, he felt more pride in his heart.

Seeing the king looking at him lovingly, Wu Honglie also felt something. He stepped forward a few steps and knelt down on his knees again and said excitedly:

"My son pays respects to my father, I have been away from home for a long time, and my father is worried!"

"Okay, okay, okay, my son is suffering, get up quickly."

Full of excitement, he helped up his son, and the king was very relieved.

My son has matured and improved a lot this time with the army. It seems that my original decision was right. Letting my son follow the old prince to practice for a while is indeed very effective.It's just that the old prince has to take care of his son while working hard on the war. It's really hard for the old prince.

Especially seeing the vicissitudes on the face of the old man and the bloodshot eyes, the king felt even more sorry.He said to Yu Tiankuang very seriously:
"Old Prince, you have worked hard. This kid has caused you a lot of trouble in the army, right?"

Hearing this, the old prince was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood. He waved his hand very kindly and replied:
"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. Not only did Hong Lie not worry the old man in the army, but he also made countless contributions. His military achievements in the merit list will definitely rank in the top three, which is better than that of many old generals. There are more!"

Yu Tiankuang said with some emotion, and the chief generals of the Northern Expedition Army behind him also echoed and said:

"That's right, the prince has made great contributions this time!"

Hearing this, the king immediately sank his face. He is not a foolish monarch. Although his son has a good reputation, he is also a bit ignorant in government affairs.But in the end, he was just a young man, and he had never been trained in the army.

Such a young man's achievements are ranked in the top three?I'm afraid this is not a good thing, is it possible that this kid is impersonating other people's credit?
Thinking of this, the king's face immediately darkened. He thought that his son had grown up, but he didn't expect that it was not the case. He even learned to deceive others.Thinking of this, the king asked angrily:
"Huh? Prince, how did you get all the credit? Other generals have been fighting in the army for decades without earning any credit. How come you, a young man who doesn't understand anything, have made so many achievements in one visit?" Credit?"

Hearing the king's question, the crown prince Wu Honglie was stunned for a moment. When he saw the gloomy look on his father's face, he actually showed depression.

I heard him say in a very sad voice:
"Father, this son-in-law didn't expect this to happen, and I didn't expect that making meritorious service would become so simple, but it happened that the first time I accepted the task, the result was a big victory, and then I won all the way. I couldn't stop if I wanted to." , what do you think my son can do?"

"Bastard, what are you talking about?"

The king didn't expect his son, the prince whom he had high hopes for, to say such stupid words. He was so angry that he trembled all over, and almost beat his son.

Seeing that his father was so angry that he wanted to beat him, Prince Wu Honglie felt even more wronged, and he said even more wrongly:
"Father, don't worry. It's not that I think I'm better than other generals. It's because the Northern Expedition is too simple. I think that even a pig can win with soldiers. It's really true. ...."

"Shut up, you bastard... you actually... you openly despise the Northern Expedition and the exploits of the soldiers of the Northern Expedition, you...you are too guilty."

The king was so angry that his face was ashen, pointing at his son tremblingly, he said:
"Come on, drag this defiant, nonsense bastard down for me..."

Seeing this scene, Yu Tiankuang and several generals of the Northern Expedition Army were stunned, no one expected such a thing to happen.

Fortunately, Yu Tiankuang reacted first, he stopped the king in time, and said with a sigh:
"Your Majesty don't need to be angry, the crown prince is right, this Northern Expedition... hey..."

"Huh...?" The king was full of surprise, staring at Yutian Kuangzai carefully, wanting to see if he was crazy too, what does the prince mean?What exactly is going on?
