After everything was settled, the emperor set off back to the palace.

Then it was time to eliminate the remnants of Xu Wuzhi. Although Xu Wuzhi was dead, the officials who had colluded with him in the court had not been dealt with.

The emperor ordered the release of those officials who refused to go along with Xu Wuzhi. Those who should be promoted were promoted, and those who should be reused were reused. The remaining followers of Xu Wuzhi were also confiscated and imprisoned, and would be sentenced at a later date.

The capital was bustling with activity, and the world had changed.

In the palace, in the imperial study, the emperor summoned Yun Che alone.

Yun Che had made great contributions in protecting the emperor and suppressing the rebellion, and his contribution was invaluable.

“You have made great contributions this time. I will reward you handsomely. You will get all the gold, silver and jewels you deserve. Besides that, is there anything else you want?” The emperor always felt that he owed Yun Che something.

Yun Che said without hesitation: “Your Majesty, please grant me a marriage.”

“Oh?” The emperor raised his eyebrows, remembering the day at the royal temple when Yun Che risked his life to save Song Wanning.

"It's Miss Song, right? Have you thought it through? There are many noble ladies in the capital, and there are many who have good family backgrounds, good looks, and talent. You hold a high position and have made great contributions. There are so many outstanding women for you to choose from. Are you sure you want to marry her?"

Yun Che was a little unhappy in his heart, but he did not show it in front of the emperor: "Your Majesty, those noble ladies you mentioned may be really excellent, but in my heart, there is only Wan Ning. There are three thousand rivers, but I only take a sip. I am very sure that Wan Ning is the one who will accompany me for the rest of my life. Please grant me marriage."

The emperor sighed and said, "Well, since this is what you want, I will grant your wish."

Then, Yun Che handed over a letter of submission: "Your Majesty, this is the letter of submission from the Barbarian leader Ahaotai. It states that the Barbarian country is willing to submit to the Central Plains, become a vassal state of the Central Plains, and never provoke a war."

The emperor was very excited after hearing this, and now he understood why Yun Che went to the Barbarian Country.

"Good, good, you have done a very good job." The emperor opened the letter of surrender and nodded repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, in addition to this matter, I have something else to discuss."

"But it doesn't matter!"

"The barbarian land is located in the north, it is cold all year round, and there is a lack of supplies. This is also the biggest reason why they are desperate to attack our Central Plains. I have led people to visit the barbarians before and found that there are many medicinal herbs and jewels that are not available in our Central Plains. Therefore, I suggest that Your Majesty resume trade with the barbarian countries."

Yun Che chose to bring up the matter of reopening trade at this time after careful consideration.

First of all, he saved the emperor and made a great contribution.

Secondly, he not only quelled the border war and won battles, but also conquered the arrogant barbarian country and made it a vassal state.

It can be said that he has won the Holy Heart.

Sure enough, the emperor agreed without any hesitation.

"Trade is easy to talk about! I will issue an order right now, ordering Jiangcheng officials to reopen the city gates and welcome barbarian merchants. I will also send a team of imperial merchants to visit."

Yun Che smiled and said, “Your Majesty is wise. Under your Majesty’s leadership, our Central Plains will surely become extremely powerful.”

After that, an imperial decree granting marriage arrived at the Song residence.

It was Eunuch Chunzhi who announced the imperial edict. After reading it, Chunzhi smiled and congratulated Song Wanning.

"Congratulations, Miss Song. I wish Miss Song and General Yun a long and happy marriage."

Song Wanning was also very happy and handed Chunzhi a purse filled with silver.

"Congratulations, Uncle Chunzhi, thank you for your hard work."

Chunzhi pushed her away quickly: "Miss Song, you are so embarrassed. Miss Song helped me before. If it weren't for you, I would have died outside the palace with such serious injuries. From now on, Miss Song is the general's wife. I still need Miss Song to take care of me. I cannot accept this money."

Seeing his sincerity, Song Wanning did not force him: "On the wedding day, please invite Master Chunzhi to have a drink at the wedding."

"I will definitely come."

After seeing Chunzhi off, the Song family members were very excited.

Song Rong rarely showed his joy: "This is a marriage granted by the emperor. It is a rare honor for us ordinary people. Ning'er, in a few days, come with me to burn incense for our ancestors. The ancestral graves of our family are about to emit green smoke."

After listening to this, Song Wanning couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Liu Mei didn't think much of the arranged marriage: "Mr. Yun has helped the emperor so much and saved his life, so what's the big deal about him arranging an arranged marriage? My Ning'er is finally married, and I can rest assured from now on."

Song Jiang said angrily, "Mother, you are talking as if my sister can't get married. My sister is so beautiful, she is very popular."

Yun Che arrived and just happened to hear these words. He walked behind Song Wanning and put his arm around her shoulders: “Fortunately, I acted quickly, otherwise it would have been snatched away by someone else, right?”

Song Wanning was slightly surprised: "Why are you here? Didn't you say you had a lot of things to do?"

He had just returned to the capital, and the resettlement of the Yun family army had not yet been completed. Some of Xu Wuzhi's remnants had escaped and had not yet been captured. Yun Che had a lot of things to do.

“No matter how busy I am, I have to come to see you.” Yun Che raised his hand and rubbed the tip of Song Wanning’s nose.

“No, this is against the rules!” Liu Mei said in shock, and then pulled Song Wanning and Yun Che apart.

"The newlyweds cannot meet during the period between engagement and marriage!" Song Rong explained, "Mr. Yun, you should go back as soon as possible."

Yun Che touched his nose and said, “Father-in-law, since Wan Ning and I are already engaged, we are a family. You don’t need to call me Master Yun anymore. Just call me Yun Che.”

Song Rong also looked a little embarrassed. Yun Che's name came to his lips but he couldn't say it. In the end, he had to change the name to "Son-in-law Yun, don't break the rules. It will be bad if outsiders know about it."

Song Wanning held back her laughter, her cheeks slightly red.

Yun Che had no choice but to leave.

At night, Song Wanning was preparing new medicine and was startled by Yun Che who suddenly jumped in through the window.

"How did you come!?"

Yun Che picked up Song Wanning and walked towards the bed.

"No, not these two days..." Song Wanning pushed his chest and refused with a blushing face.

Yun Che smiled, put her on the bed, and looked down at her: “What are you thinking? You want to take advantage of me before we even get married?”

Song Wanning pinched his cheeks with both hands. There was not much flesh on them, but they were soft.

"Then go back now and don't bother me."

Yun Che’s face was filled with exhaustion: “Wan Ning, I’m so tired. What should I do if I can’t sleep without you?”

Song Wanning felt a little distressed: "Be patient, we will get married in a month."

"I can't bear it, Wan Ning. We were separated for so long before, and I thought about it. I don't want to be separated from you again."

As he spoke, Yun Che took off Song Wanning's shoes and pushed her to the innermost part of the bed.

Then he took off his coat and shoes and got into bed.

"You might as well kill me than let me not see you for a month."
