Chapter 61: The Jiang Brothers Return Home

Upon hearing Emperor Qi Ming's words, Jiang Hong and his companions slowly rose to their feet, their eyes glimmering with smiles. However, the expressions on the faces of the court officials, gathered in the assembly, were a study in contrasts.

They had expected the Emperor to express his gratitude to the three armies on their return to the capital, but the scale of the rewards surpassed their anticipation.

Unaware of the internal thoughts of the officials, Emperor Qi Ming resumed his speech after Jiang Hong and others had risen. "Minister Jiang, you have truly labored hard. I hereby grant you three days off. Take this time to rest and spend some quality moments with your family."

This war had spanned half a year. Jiang Hong indeed hadn't been able to see his family for an extended period. Upon hearing the Emperor's words, his smile deepened with sincerity. He swiftly bowed in gratitude, "My deepest thanks, Your Majesty."
