After passing Ningzhou, no prefecture or county dared not to obey Yang Tian's orders. However, every time he arrived in a state, local officials would curry favor with Yang Tian and please the new prime minister's legitimate son. Although Yang Tian turned down the banquet, he had to greet and condolences in the face of the local officials who were greeting him, and to win over the hearts of the people for himself. If he had to go from Ningzhou to Chang'an, he would have been able to arrive in three days, which would have been five days before he came back.

Fortunately, there were constant messengers along the way. Knowing that the capital was stable for the time being, Yang Tian did not rush back. However, the delays of two days were not all bad. The state soldiers mobilized by the states in front also set out with the Xuanlong Army. When they arrived in Chang'an, in addition to the two thousand Xuanlong Army, Yang Tian also brought five thousand state soldiers, a total of seven thousand army.

Ba Bridge is located twenty miles away from Chang'an City. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Mu of Qin dominated the Xirong and changed the Zishui River to the Ba River and built a stone bridge, so it was named Ba Bridge. In the third year of the Dihuang of Wangmang (22 AD), the Ba Bridge was flooded. Wang Mang believed that it was not a good omen, so he changed the name of the bridge to Changcun Bridge. Emperor Guangwu restored the Han Dynasty and changed the name of Ba Bridge back.

There is an inn on the Ba Bridge. Whenever you see your relatives and friends go east, you often break up here. Some even break willows to give them to each other. Therefore, this bridge was called the Ecstasy Bridge. Later, there was a poem about the wind and snow of the Ba Bridge. When the Xuanlong Army went to war, some people also bid farewell to Ba Bridge. Today, everyone came here not to say goodbye, but to welcome the young hero who resisted the Turks. The legitimate son of the current prime minister, Pu Liuruyong, or Yang Yong, returned triumphantly. The reason why Yang Yong is said to be because the current prime minister is said to intend to restore the Han surname.

The seven thousand army lined up a long dragon along the official road. The Xuanlong Army opened the road in the front, followed by the five thousand prefectures and county soldiers behind. The smoke pillars of the army were floating high above the sky. You can see it from a distance. Seeing the Chang'an city wall from afar, the Xuanlong Army couldn't help but feel in love. Many people cheered and finally returned to Chang'an.

But when I saw the Ba Bridge in the distance, the Xuanlong Army was shocked. There were dense crowds of people, which looked as if there were hundreds of thousands of people. It seemed that the people in Chang'an had all arrived.

The team that was in the front strangled the reins and slowed down the speed. A messenger hurriedly rode his horse from the front and quickly reported when he saw Yang Tian: "General, the Prime Minister leads all officials to greet each other in front."

Yang Tian was surprised. Although he knew that many people would definitely come to greet him when he returned to Beijing, he did not expect that he would personally bring people to greet him. He quickly sent an order: "The whole army slowed down."

The Baqiao Bridge is 260 steps long (note, one step is 1.4 meters) and five steps wide, with a stone railing next to it. Now there are civil and military officials on both sides of the Baqiao. Yang Jian, Yu Yi, Han Wang Zan, and Qin Wang Zhi stood in the front, and behind were hundreds of officials. In addition to the Han King and Qin King, there are also Bi Wangxian and Zhao Zhao behind. Today, more than 80% of the Beijing officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty gathered here.

Seeing Yang Jian's back in front, Yuwen Zhao's eyes seemed to be about to burst out from fire, and he wanted to kill Yang Jian with one knife and push him into the Ba River below. Since entering the capital, Yuwen Zhao has been closely monitored by Yang Jian. When Emperor Xuan died, the Zhao Mansion was even surrounded by a group of imperial guards, called protection, but in fact it was house arrest. It was not until the emperor's funeral was held that the imperial guards outside the Zhao Mansion were withdrawn. However, at this time, the Zhao King was powerless to return to heaven. Yang Jian had become the prime minister, and all officials also surrendered to Yang Jian.

"Here, come." Seeing the smoke and dust in front of him, the people who had been waiting for nearly an hour finally became turbulent.

"Tsk tsk, it's amazing. Only 2,000 people defeated the Turkic army and was the son of the Prime Minister."

"Nonsense, I just defeated 20,000. Where did the Turkic army of 100,000 talents come from more than 100,000 people?"

The person who spoke loudly before felt a little embarrassed: "Anyway, if you defeat the Turks, 20,000 people will be amazing."

The person next to him ordered: "This is true. I heard that the General of the Cavalry is only fourteen years old, and he is really a hero."

One person was surprised and said, "My God, my boy is still a gangster at the age of fourteen. He only plays with a bunch of kids all day long. Is the Prime Minister's son three heads and six arms?"

"Go, go, won't you become a monster with three heads and six arms? How can your kid compare with the son of the prime minister? Don't embarrass him."

...

Yang Jian couldn't hear these comments, but having a son would indeed make Yang Jian very proud. If Yang Jian didn't want his son to show his sharpness when Emperor Tianyuan was present, he just wanted to let all the people of the Great Zhou know how outstanding Yang Jian's son was and how much contribution he made to the Great Zhou.

Seeing the army getting closer, Zheng Yi, who was in charge of etiquette, waved his hand, and the colorful flags were flying on the spot, and gongs and drums shook the sky. There were also dry boats rowing by, but the people stretched their necks and looked forward.

When Yang Tian was still a hundred steps away from Ba Bridge, he stopped, slid his stirrups and stepped forward, and when he saw the officials, he bent down and bowed: "You are young and innocent, you are tired, you are waiting for the greeting, but you really don't dare to take it."

Yu Yi stroked his beard and smiled: "I should, I should, at a young age, defeating 20,000 Turks with two thousand iron cavalry. Who can do this in the court? Such a young hero and such a great meritorious person, we should welcome him. I wish I could have a grandson like this."

Yang Tian was Yang Jian's son, and Yang Jian couldn't praise him himself, so he could only come forward because of Yi. As soon as Yu Yi finished speaking, other ministers rushed forward and praised Yang Tian so that there were few in the sky and were hard to see on the ground. After everyone flattered for a while, Yu Yi took out an imperial edict: "Pu Liuru, the general of the front line general, bravely accepted the edict."

Yang Tian quickly shook his clothes and knelt down. At this time, the imperial edict did not start with the fortune of Tian. It was directly the main text. The imperial edict reiterated Yang Tian's achievements. Yang Tian was promoted from General of the Cavalry to General of the Pillar Kingdom, and the Xuanlong Army's meritorious soldiers were promoted to one level, and they were rewarded with tens of thousands of stagnants of money and cloth.

This decree was actually what Emperor Tianyuan wanted to reward Yang Tian at the beginning, but Yang Jian didn't know that Emperor Tianyuan's destiny would not last long. He was afraid that Yang Tian would show his strength and pushed the reward away. Now that he is re-rewarding, there is no problem. Although this is an imperial edict, everything comes from the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, and even the jade seal is also built by the Left Prime Minister's Mansion.

Yan Zhiyi refused to cooperate, and Yang Tiansuxing removed Yan Zhiyi from his official position and took the jade seal from him. Now the little emperor is only responsible for signing the signature.

"I received the order." Yang Tian took the order, and the ministers praised again. Yang Tian's face seemed to be smiling. He looked at Yang Jian's eyes a few times and found that Yang Jian's face was a little haggard, and there were white hairs on his head. He seemed to be several years older than a few months ago. Obviously, Yang Jian's life was not easy during this period.

However, Yang Jian's eyes were full of excitement when he looked at Yang Tian. The fatigue of the past seemed to be wiped out. With such a son, what else can his husband ask for? He is taking such a strange risk now, not for his descendants.

Zhao Wangzhao watched the civil and military officials perform in turn, and secretly hated them in his heart. These people seemed to have forgotten that they are still the world of the Yuwen family. He quietly approached Bi Wangyu and Wen Xian and said, "Did you see it? The wolf ambition must be guarded."

Yuwen Xian was the only one among the kings who held military power. He served as the governor of Yongzhou. The capital of Yongzhou was in the capital. The governor of the prefecture was the chief executive and the country was in charge of the two governments. In addition to the imperial guards, he had the largest military force in his hand.

There are two reasons why Yang Jian could tolerate Yuwen Xian's military power. First, he was the son of Emperor Ming of Zhou. Although he was not born to Empress Ming, Empress Ming was his legitimate mother. Yang Jian was naturally his uncle. Second, given that his parents were the emperor and the empress could not have a good end, Yuwen Xian learned the ability to accept everything and do not fight for anything.

Zhao Wangzhao's words scared Yuwen Xian: "Uncle Six, uncle is just the prime minister, and he is still loyal to the Great Zhou."

"Loyalty, nephew, are you really confused or fake? Looking at the history of previous generations, it is rare to call yourself the prime minister but not usurp the throne! What's more, Yang Jian has moved into the imperial palace. Since he ignores the criticism of the world, he is determined to win. Xian'er, now you are the only one who can turn the tide. Although Pu Liurujian's son has returned, he still has only one government force. If you can attack suddenly, your chances of victory will be 70%.

Yuwen Xian shook his head like a rattle: "Sixth Uncle, you're too worried. Now the six general managers outside each have tens of thousands to tens of thousands of troops. Even if my uncle is determined, he has no courage. Why do you have to use weapons in the capital? As long as the emperor grows up, my uncle will naturally return the government to the emperor. Besides, the prime minister is not just the uncle. Don't you also serve as the right prime minister? Everyone is a relative, so why bother to kill each other?"

Zhao Wangzhao was very upset when he heard this. He had never been able to find an opportunity to contact Yuwen Xian before. He thought that he would use this opportunity to welcome Xuan Longjun back to Beijing to persuade Yuwen Xian, so he would have a chance to make a comeback in the capital. Unexpectedly, since Yuwen Xian was confused by Yang Jian's superficial techniques, it was difficult to move. Yuwenzhao wanted to slap this confused nephew a few times and wake him up. However, in the crowd, he could only speak with the gongs and drums. He did not dare to make big moves, otherwise it would be a disaster for people to hear it.

He was about to persuade him again, but the civil and military officials in front were already walking towards their direction with Yang Tian. Yuwen Zhao had to separate from his nephew and stood beside him and looked at him reservedly. With his identity, he naturally disdained to flatter Yang Tian.

But he didn't know that when he was talking to his nephew Yuwenxian just now, he was seen by another person from beginning to end, that was Yang Jian's nephew Yang Xiong. Yang Xiong was not only appointed as the deputy commander of the imperial guards, but also in charge of the imperial guards in the capital. He just served as the deputy governor of Yongzhou a few days ago. The deputy governor of the state governor. This also shows that Yang Jian was not completely relieved of Bi Wang Yuwenxian, otherwise he would not have added a deputy to Yuwenxian at this sensitive time.

Yuwen Xian was calm and accepted the fact that Yang Xiong was decentralized. He had become accustomed to being cautious and cautious in order to preserve it until now and have military power.

However, Yang Xiong was not satisfied. Although he was the deputy of the provincial governor, he was three levels away. If he could defeat Yuwen Xian, the provincial governor would certainly be him. As soon as Yang Xiong took office, he used the money in the treasury to buy Yuwen Xian's confidants. Under the offensive of money, many of Yuwen Xian's confidants were bribed by Yang Xiong within a few days. Yang Jian turned a blind eye to this matter and closed his eyes.

Because of this, Yang Xiong was particularly careful about Yuwen Xian's every move. When he saw Zhao Wangzhao having a lot of people talked to Yuwen Xian intimately. Although he couldn't hear what they said, it must be against Yang Jian's words. Seeing that Yuwen Xian kept shaking his head, Yang Xiong sneered in his heart: "Okay, you are seeking death yourself, don't blame me."

After the reward was completed, all officials led the way, and Yang Tian got on his horse again and rode his horse slowly forward with two thousand Xuanlong troops to accept the cheers of the people. The other five thousand prefectures and counties who followed were only temporarily guided to station outside the city, and they were not qualified to enter the city.

This was the second time that many people saw Yang Tian. The first time was when they bid farewell to the Xuanlong Army for expedition several months ago. At that time, the Turks led a hundred thousand troops to attack. Many people were panicked. The rich people in the city moved to other places and the poor people outside the city moved to the city. It was not until the Xuanlong Army held the expedition ceremony that the people in the capital calmed down.

Now several months have passed. Although there was a change of emperor, the army returned triumphantly. Moreover, the prime minister issued a number of policies to benefit the people. The Luoyang Palace was suspended, Chang'an's transaction tax was reduced by most, and the prices were cheaper. For the prime minister and Yang Tian, ​​the people did cheer from the bottom of their hearts, so when they heard the army's triumphant success, they almost all went to the city to greet them without the government urging them.

"Long live the Great Zhou!"

"The General is mighty!"

"Long live the Xuanlong Army!"

As we walked along, we cheered all the way, and Yang Tian had to nod and smile immediately.

The people next to them sighed from time to time: "General Husband is so young."

"It would be great if I had a daughter. If I wanted to marry, marry someone like General Cavalry."

"Go, with your virtue, even if you give birth to a daughter, the General of the Cavalry would not look down on you."

Two extremely handsome boys were raising their toes behind and stretched their necks to look forward. A shorter boy could not see them. He was jumping in a hurry. When he heard the conversation between the two people around him, the boy looked at the man who said he wanted to marry his daughter to Yang Tian. He saw the man clearly, but he couldn't help but burst into laughter. This man was tall and thin, like a bamboo pole, with a little pole on his face. Thinking of the young master who really married such a man's daughter, the young man's face suddenly became strange.
