Soon more accurate news came out from the palace.
Under the leadership of General Miao Sen, the military and civilians of Yuzhou were united and fought bravely in the battle to defend the city. Not only did they defeat the invading enemy, but General Miao Qing also personally led the troops out of the city.
Destroying enemies along the way is as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.
This battle severely crushed the arrogance of the Xixia people.
In such a great victory, it no longer matters whether more than 10,000 enemies were killed. Even if there were no such victory, the civil officials would have accepted it with a wry smile.
In an instant, the entire capital city turned into a sea of ​​jubilation, and major taverns hung up signs, announcing that all drinks would be half price for three days.
Major brothels even announced that listening to music was free and subsequent activities were 30% off.
A big victory always stimulates the crazy secretion of male hormones, so during these three days, both the wine shops and brothels were packed.
If you calculate carefully, even with various promotional activities, they still made a lot of money.
While drinking and listening to music, people continued to discuss this catastrophe. More detailed inside information was revealed. The most important piece of information was that the reason for this great victory was all due to a drug called Sheng'endan.
It is said that it was thanks to this magical medicine that some dying soldiers were brought back from the brink of death, greatly reducing the death rate of the soldiers of the Great Qi.
After their lives were guaranteed, the soldiers of the three armies were in high spirits and defeated the Western Xia assault team.
For a while, Sheng'endan became extremely popular, and many people were wondering what kind of miracle medicine it was.
Some people who are more well-informed naturally become the focus of attention at the dinner table.
"Speaking of this Sheng'en Pill, my third uncle's cousin works in the palace and knows some inside information. I heard that this was stolen from the Heavenly Palace by Immortal Lu, specifically for us Daqi people."
"What? You don't even know about Master Lu. You know about the heavy rain a while ago, right? That was Master Lu's prayer."
"I also heard that this medicine was originally made by Master Lu to save the little prince. Later, he thought it would be useful for the people of Da Qi as well, so he persuaded the government to mass-produce it."
"Currently, due to limited production, we can only give priority to supplying soldiers on the border. Once the production increases, we can also use it."
"If your children have a headache or fever in the future, you don't have to worry about them dying."
"Master Lu also said that as long as this thing is promoted, he is confident that the average life expectancy of our Da Qi people will increase by five years."
"There really is such a divine object? Master Lu is truly a god!"
"Your Majesty loves the people like his own children!"
"Let's go, let's go to the foot of the palace to thank His Majesty for his grace!"
The people of Da Qi were very mobile and soon gathered together and walked towards the foot of the imperial city.
At the same time, the ministers in the palace were also filled with joy.
We have been fighting with Western Xia on and off for five or six years, but this is the first time we have won such a big victory as today.
Not to mention a big victory, in the past two years, as long as we didn't lose too badly, it was considered a win.
At this moment, Lord Cui abandoned his usual timid demeanor and chose to take the initiative. He raised his head with high spirits, looked at Li Zhuo seated on the dragon throne, and said, "Your Majesty, our army has won a great victory. Over ten thousand enemies were killed in the battle of Yucheng. This battle demonstrated the might of our army and the magnanimity of the Celestial Empire. It effectively deterred the scoundrels of Western Xia and successfully delayed their various strategic intentions."
"I congratulate Your Majesty and the Great Qi!"
A group of officials followed suit and knelt on the ground, shouting, "Congratulations to Your Majesty and to the Great Qi."
Looking at the ministers kneeling below, Li Zhuo felt a mixture of emotions. The anger that had been suppressed in his heart for all these years was finally released.
If possible, who doesn't want to be a wise ruler praised by others?
Thinking of the once-invincible Xixia soldiers now stripped of their armor and fleeing in disarray, and hearing the thunderous cries of "Long live" coming from the city gate, Li Zhuo slammed the armrest of the dragon throne and said, "Pass on my decree to reward the three armies! Money, food, and military pay must not be neglected."
Minister of Revenue Liang Licang hurried out and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. Everything has been arranged. All rewards will be delivered to the army in ten days at most."
"Lord Liang, I am confident in your work. By the way, please ask the Ministry of Rites to pick a good day in the next two days. I will offer sacrifices to the heavens and tell the ancestors this good news."
The officials of the Ministry of Rites also hurriedly accepted the order, and each of them had a happy face.
Where there is work to do, there is money to be made, so winning a battle really does bring a lot of benefits, and even these civil servants can benefit a lot from it.
Yan Pingzhang, the Minister of Rites, stepped out and saluted, saying, "I obey your command."
After a moment, he spoke again, "Your Majesty, would you like Master Lu to preside over this Heavenly Sacrifice?"
Li Zhuo thought for a moment and said, "You two should just go down and discuss this matter. By the way, what is Master Lu doing now? Why haven't I seen him in court?"
"Your Majesty, I heard that Master Lu has been keeping an eye on the Sheng'en Dan workshop for the past two days. The fighting on the front lines is intense, and the demand for Sheng'en Dan has increased significantly. Furthermore, Sheng'en Dan played a crucial role in our army's victory over the Western Xia this time."
"The Holy Grace Pill created by Master Lu is indeed beneficial to the country and the people. I think he deserves a reward!" Cui Shanzhan said excitedly.
Li Zhuo also nodded with joy. "Yes, Master Lu's actions truly benefit the country and the people. This is what a true master of the Tao is like. He is not greedy for power, but works wholeheartedly for the benefit of all people in the world."
