Chapter 437 Going Home
Thirty miles outside the capital, under the flag gate, riding a white horse, Emperor Zhengde was majestic.

On the left and right sides are powerful generals such as Qiu Yue, Zuo Lengchan, Zhao Sanhe, Bu Chen, Sha Tianjiang, and Deng Bagong.

When Emperor Zhengde saw the five military camps led by Ou Zanghua, he rode over and said, "Mr. Ou, I was very worried when I heard that you were injured. I am relieved to see that you are fine today!"

Ou Zanghua bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am here to see you. Thank you for your concern. I only suffered some minor injuries. It's nothing serious."

Emperor Zhengde sighed and said softly, "I know you are distressed. I will not let them off in this matter."

Ou Zanghua looked at Emperor Zhengde with some emotion. Since they met, he had been referring to himself as "I", which meant closeness. This kid had indeed grown a lot after the battle.

Thinking of this, he said calmly: "Your Majesty, I never believe that suffering a loss is a blessing. After returning to Beijing, I would like to discuss this matter with Your Majesty alone."

"Okay!" After hearing this, Emperor Zhengde smiled and nodded.

Then, the three armies, large and small, cheered and formed into formation, whips were cracked and golden drums rang, and they sang triumphant songs while talking and laughing.

The army marched towards the capital city in a mighty force.

Outside the capital, there is a reception pavilion.

Yang Tinghe led the whole court to prepare a banquet to welcome the soldiers who returned victoriously. Seeing this, the generals hurriedly dismounted and saluted. Only Emperor Zhengde sat on his horse, looking at Yang Tinghe, Liang Chu and others, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Yang, how did I fight this battle?"

"Your Majesty is both brave and resourceful, a military talent unparalleled in the world." Yang Tinghe bowed and complimented.

"Hahaha"

Emperor Zhengde laughed arrogantly, and this was the effect he wanted.

Even though he had passed away at this moment, based on that glorious battle alone, his position in the history of the Ming Dynasty had surpassed that of his father. Only the three previous emperors, Taizu, Taizong and Xuanzong, could sit ahead of him.

As the emperor, he has been surrounded by supreme honor since childhood. There are very few things in the world that can arouse his desire, and reputation is undoubtedly the most fascinating and difficult to obtain among these rare treasures.

As the Three Thousand Battalion and the Five Army Battalion marched into the capital city in high spirits, the streets were crowded with people, and the common people flocked to see the warriors.

When the news of the glorious achievements of the two armies spread among the crowd, people's emotions were instantly ignited, their excitement was beyond words, and cheers rose one after another, wave after wave, resounding through the sky.

Even Emperor Zhengde was intoxicated by the shouts of "Long live His Majesty!" "The Ming Dynasty is mighty!" and "The Ming Dynasty is invincible!"

He wore a phoenix-wing helmet, a red velvet belt, and waist-length armor. From time to time, he waved to the people on both sides of the street, which would immediately cause even louder cheers.

The peculiar location of the capital of the Ming Dynasty caused the people living here to care more about the war than people in other places, especially the farce sixty-six years ago, which can be said to have left a psychological trauma on three generations.

Now someone finally stood up and slapped back, finally avenging the humiliation of that year. How can we not be excited?
Walking all the way to the Meridian Gate, the next step is the ceremony of presenting prisoners.

This was also the most proud achievement of Emperor Zhengde. He almost emptied Dayan Khan's house. In addition to Mongolian Jinong, the lord of the Ordos tribe, the lord of the Tumed tribe, the lord of the Wushen tribe, Sumir Hatun, Gush Hatun, and Princess Isik, dozens of Mongolian nobles fell into his hands.

In addition to Alborot who was shot and killed by Ou Zanghua and Ozir Borot who was captured, Dayan Khan had lost three of his original nine sons. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him and he was heartbroken.

The people of the capital were watching with great excitement. They had only heard through word of mouth that the Duke of Liang had captured a large number of Northern Yuan nobles, but that was a distant event over 120 years ago. Even the oldest people present had never witnessed such a grand spectacle with their own eyes.

But now, they witnessed this historic moment with their own eyes. A group of Mongolian nobles had their arms tightly bound with ropes and were escorted out one after another. The scene was so shocking that it is unforgettable.

Emperor Zhengde looked at the captives captured by him and Ou Qing, and the smile on his face became more and more arrogant. Then, he waved his hand heroically and ordered the soldiers to escort all the captives away and keep them under strict guard until the Mongolian envoys came to negotiate for peace.

The joy of victory began at dawn and did not subside until nightfall.

In the capital city, major shops put up discount signs to celebrate. This festive atmosphere instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the people, causing them to step out of their homes and immerse themselves in the carnival.

In order to celebrate the event together with the common people, Emperor Zhengde generously issued an order to lift the curfew within the next three days, so that the people of the city could have fun and enjoy this rare victory.

Ou Zanghua led the army back to the Beijing camp. When he was about to ride home, he saw a convoy parked outside the camp. Mu Gaoweng was standing next to the carriage. When he saw Ou Zanghua riding out, he said cheerfully, "Sir, Gaoweng is here to take you home."

"Mr. Gao, thank you for your hard work." Ou Zanghua was slightly stunned, then he jumped off the horse and walked onto the carriage.

"hey-hey."

Mu Gaoweng smiled complacently and said as he drove the carriage, "If it weren't for you, I might have died at the hands of some enemy. I wouldn't have the chance to go down in history like I do now. My Lord, it's a blessing for me to meet you."

"Mr. Gao, you should live in the Ou Mansion in your old age from now on! When you have nothing to do, you might as well accept a few disciples to prevent your camel sword from being lost." Ou Zanghua suggested with a smile while sitting in the carriage.

"That's great!" Mu Gaoweng said with a smile, "Young Master, if you find a suitable candidate, please recommend him to me. I also have a way to tell the direction on the grassland, so I will teach him all of that."

"Then you have to go to the military camp first, teach the soldiers, and then teach your disciples."

"Okay, Sir, whenever it's convenient for you, just call Mr. Gao."

The two chatted as they crossed the busy streets under the protection of the guards. When they returned to Nanxunfang, they found that the high-end area, which was usually quiet, was now extremely lively.

Each family held a grand banquet in their house, and the fireworks seemed to be free of charge. I have never heard of this before.

Seeing this, Ou Zanghua felt inexplicably happy.

When he returned home, Liu Qing, Ou Qing who was over one year old, Yue Lingshan and others were already waiting at the door.

When they saw the carriage stop and Ou Zanghua get off, Liu Qing led Ou Qing over and stared at her husband. After taking a look at him, she said, "Welcome back, husband!"

"Welcome back, Master!" Hua An and the others shouted in unison.

Ou Zanghua came over, hugged Liu Qing gently, and said gently: "Thank you for your hard work, Qingqing, in managing the household for me."

Then, he squatted down, looked at the delicate little thing, smiled and asked: "Aokiji, long time no see, do you still remember your father?"

Aokiji grinned and stretched out his chubby little hand, wanting to touch Ou Zanghua's armor.

Seeing that the little guy was not shy, Ou Zanghua happily picked him up and said, "Haha. When you grow up a little bit, Dad will teach you how to ride a horse and shoot arrows!"

Unexpectedly, this made Aokiji cry, and Ou Zanghua was so scared that he was in a panic. He didn't calm down until Liu Qing took over.

Ou Zanghua looked at Yue Lingshan, who was standing beside him with a loving look. Seeing that she seemed to have become rounder, he smiled and touched her head, his eyes unconsciously moving downwards.
I see, this is really the right place for roundness!
