Bab 98: Chapter 98 Empress Dowager_1

Dawu Imperial City.

A scene of jubilation.

News of the triumphant return of the large army had been received early. The entire imperial dynasty was abuzz, from the common people to the various departments of the court.

Everyone knew that Chu Yuan had led a formidable personal expedition this time, mobilizing tens of millions of troops to conquer Daqian. He came back bearing the news of victory, having enlarged the territory of Dawu several times within the thirty-first year of Dawu.

Signs of festivity could be seen throughout the Imperial City, as the decorations for the New Year had not yet been taken down.

Zhang Cheng, who had been left to guard the Imperial City, was busy. The citizens had heard about the return of the army and had spontaneously gone out of the city to welcome them, which he had to manage to prevent chaos.
