Chapter 771 The imperial edict has arrived, return to the court!
When Yan Youling heard Jiang Chen's words, her face became extremely embarrassed.
She didn't sleep well last night.
Jiang Chen is all in my mind.
Even when I fall asleep, I will dream about Jiang Chen!
In this situation...how can she sleep well!
When Jiang Chen saw Yan Youling, he couldn't help but think of what happened last night.
Last night...Yan Youling was so beautiful!
That feeling is so terrible!
If Yan Youling put on that outfit again, he would definitely not be able to bear it!
After the two looked at each other, a strange atmosphere began to spread between them.
Five days later, at the Jinling City Government Office.
The commander of the imperial guards who went to the capital to report the news has finally returned!
"I pay my respects to the Marquis!"
When the commander of the Imperial Guard saw the capital, he saluted respectfully.
"Well, get up."
Jiang Chen nodded.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis!"
The commander of the Imperial Guards stood up after hearing Jiang Chen's words.
After standing up, the commander of the Imperial Guard took out the imperial edict written by Emperor Dajing to Jiang Chen.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Chen hurriedly knelt down to receive the order!
After all, you still have to make it look good.
As Jiang Chen knelt down, the imperial edict began to be read.
"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Jiang Chen, Marquis of Jinchuan County, has made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion. You shall escort the rebels back to the court today, and I will give you a reward!"
The imperial edict ordered Jiang Chen to report back to the court immediately after receiving it.
As for the soldiers in Jiangnan, they can follow Jiang Chen back to the court and be incorporated into the city defense army.
You can also return to Jiangnan and continue farming.
Jiang Chen naturally chose the latter!
"My Lord, congratulations!"
"You have performed a great deed this time. From now on, you will no longer be a marquis, but... a lord!"
The commander of the Royal Guards spoke excitedly.
……
He also came from the military.
Jiang Chen became the Duke of Dajing at a young age!
How could they not be envious?
"Sir!?"
When Yan Youling and the others heard this, they were all shocked!
Sir, it’s the Duke! ?
Jiang Chen is going to be a Duke! ?
"Hahaha! Thank you all brothers for your help!"
"Otherwise, this day wouldn't have come to this day!"
"Tonight, we will reward the three armies, and tomorrow morning, we will set off!"
Jiang Chen laughed loudly and acted excited!
Zhang San, Xu Meng, and even Han Peng were all happy for Jiang Chen!
However, Yan Youling was a little worried.
Jiang Chen became a duke at a young age.
I'm afraid the future situation won't be very good! ?
Jiang Chen...can't he see this?
Yan Youling was full of confusion.
But seeing that Jiang Chen was in high spirits, Yan Youling didn't say much.
That night, Jinling City was extremely lively!
The soldiers of the Imperial Guard and the City Defense Army were extremely excited when they received the news that they could return to the capital!
They were drinking and having a great time!
And those surrendered rebels were also extremely excited when they learned that they could go home and farm!
They originally thought that they were guilty of serious crimes and would be executed!
But now they can go home and farm!
This is a blessing from heaven!
This is all thanks to Lord Jiang!
They admired Lord Jiang even more!
But in this Jinling City, there are also unhappy people, that is... General Feng!
General Feng has received the imperial edict.
Not only was he allowed to return to the court with Jiang Chen, but all his soldiers were also incorporated into Jiang Chen's army!
Isn't this a disguised way of taking away his military power?!
The damn Emperor Dajing is really too much!
……
"General, what should we do? Will His Majesty kill us after we return?"
General Feng's deputy general looked worried.
He doesn't want to die!
But General Feng laughed coldly: "Haha, no, Dakang is still at war with Dajing!"
"As a general, I still hold a very high status in the hearts of the soldiers!"
"If Your Majesty kills me directly, wouldn't that chill the hearts of the soldiers?"
"Then...shall we go back to the court?" the deputy general asked with some concern.
He was really afraid that Emperor Dajing would kill them!
"Back!"
General Feng said with a cold face: "Dajing and Dakang are fighting now!"
"No one knows how far this battle will go!"
"If Dajing is completely defeated, won't our good days come?"
"Besides, after we return to the capital, we can also find an opportunity to support Dakang, so why not?"
After hearing what General Feng said, the deputy general stopped talking.
After all, it seems that they have no other choice but to return to the court!
If they don’t go back, then they… probably won’t be able to escape!
Because Jiang Chen's guards have been keeping an eye on them!
On the other side, Jiang Chen and his soldiers got drunk together.
But just when Jiang Chen was about to go back to the backyard to rest, he saw Yan Youling in a white gown.
"Mr. Yan? Is there something you need?" Jiang Chen frowned, resisting the temptation of drunkenness, and asked Yan Youling.
"My Lord, do you really want to accept the imperial award and become a duke?"
"This seems to be a bit disadvantageous to you!" Yan Youling said in a deep voice.
……
Yan Youling thought about it for a long time and finally decided to talk about this matter with Jiang Chen.
After all, Jiang Chen is the only person she admires!
"Mr. Yan, I know you mean well, but now that things have come to this, there is nothing I can do to change them!"
"This Duke, whether I agree or not, I have to do it..."
Jiang Chen smiled bitterly and then walked towards the backyard.
Yan Youling looked at Jiang Chen's back as he left, thinking about what he said...
"Alas, the water in the court is... so deep!"
"I entered the court..."
For the first time, Yan Youling began to doubt whether entering the imperial court was a good thing or a bad thing!
The next morning, Jiang Chen set off with his men.
It would take them half a month to return to the capital this time.
After all, they were returning to the capital, not on a forced march, so there was no need to be too anxious.
What's more, they were also suppressing the Eighth Wise Kings, so they were even more cautious.
But what Jiang Chen didn't know was that everyone in the capital was talking about him at this moment!
Almost all the civil and military officials in the court were dissatisfied with Jiang Chen becoming the Duke!
Not to mention the civil servants.
Those generals had already broken with Jiang Chen before, and with Luo Ye's instigation, they became even more dissatisfied with Jiang Chen!
"What right does Jiang Chen have?!"
"He's only twenty years old, and he's already a duke!?"
"How much have we all paid for Dajing!?"
"I'm not convinced!"
"Haha, what's the point of you being unconvinced? His Majesty now favors Jiang Chen, so it's useless for us to say anything!"
"I don't accept it, I just don't accept it!"
"Who the hell is Jiang Chen!"
"that is!"
"He has only been in the court for less than a year, and he has already become a duke. Will he become a prince in the future?!"
"Haha, Prince? I think he wants to rebel and become the emperor!"
