The Future Is Limitless

The brothers went from being foot soldiers to being appointed as fourth-rank generals, known for their bravery and courage. Their achievements on the battlefield surpassed those who had spent ten years studying in the cold, dark rooms.

The brothers received honors in the Golden Dragon Hall, parading on horseback throughout the day, basking in their newfound glory.

The Emperor went further to grant them two mansions and appointed them as commanders in charge of city patrols and suburban military camps.

Having military power in their hands, their origin as adopted sons of the Yuan family made them less threatening.

The Emperor's role was challenging, having to be vigilant and cautious at every step. No wonder historical emperors didn't live very long.

At the end of March, the brothers returned home for a family visit. The local officials and Magistrate Wang came to welcome them, and even Yuan Jiaqi rushed back from County She.
