The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 927 Long Live [Final Chapter]

On May [-]th of the second year of Guangwu, Zhao Yanxun drove back to Beijing after dealing with major frontline affairs.

The current situation is that the western barbarian army in Tianshan County is no longer a threat.

In order to be able to survive, these remnant soldiers actually attacked each other, but let the Jin army stand aside and watch the fun.

And on the grassland, it's a mess now.

There are millions of people in the Western Man, and the population has been reduced by more than half under the four or five consecutive months of famine.

But at least the remaining two or three million people poured directly into the grasslands actually controlled by the Huns, causing all kinds of chaos.

On the current grassland, neither Yushan nor King Yikuoxi could fully mobilize their men and horses, and could only let the melee continue.

In this way, on the contrary, the pressure on the defense line of Tianyuguan was increased, because the chaos troops attacked and harassed them from time to time.

Of course, the harassment caused little military pressure. After all, these chaotic troops were poorly equipped, and some had only a pair of fists.

The carrying capacity of the grassland is about a million people at most, and there are still 400 million people on both sides of the war, which means that the chaos will continue for a long time.

It's just that Zhao Yanxun doesn't care much about these things anymore, after all, there are still a lot of things waiting for him in the country.

First of all, the four northern counties are still occupied by zombies, and it takes effort to wipe them out.

Secondly, it is necessary to check the acres of land, and then carry out tax reform, and restrict the privileges of officials and gentry.

On the fifth day of the sixth lunar month, the south gate of the capital city was already displaying flags and banners. Countless people gathered inside and outside the city, and they kept talking with "Long Live the Emperor".

They were beaming with joy and announced the achievements of the emperor to their companions. Everyone was enthusiastic.

The common people were discussing loudly, but the hundreds of officials lined up outside the city gate seemed exceptionally quiet at the moment.

Just because they have received the news, Yu Jia is no more than five miles away.

When the imperial driver returned to Luan, the officials were supposed to go out of the city for thirty miles to meet him, but Zhao Yanxun deliberately ordered him to avoid it, because it would cost more national wealth.

With the passage of time, the people inside and outside the city have gradually calmed down, and the persuasion of the small officials in the government office is indispensable among them.

On the official road in the distance, dragon riders could already be seen fluttering, and the emperor's ride was already approaching.

On both sides of the official road, soldiers of the Imperial Army had long been guarding, and Luanjia's guard of honor moved forward safely.

Zhao Yanxun left last year in light clothes, but this time he came back with a huge team, with 5000 guards of honor and guards, not including the troops escorted along the way.

Finally, the whole team stopped.

Outside Zhao Yanxun's carriage, two cabinet ministers had arrived in person.

"My minister kowtows to the emperor, long live my emperor!"

"Free gift!"

After the two got up, they only heard Lu Chaowen say: "Please move, Your Majesty!"

Those who came back took a carriage, while those in Beijing had to take a sedan chair.

"Can!"

Zhao Yanxun replied this sentence, and immediately a eunuch raised the curtain.

After getting out of the carriage, Zhao Yanxun showed a smile on his face when he saw the crowds of people ahead.

The battle was won, and he was in a good mood during this time.

Under the guidance of the two cabinet ministers, Zhao Yanxun came to the gate of the city. Hundreds of officials and countless common people present all had room to bow down at this moment.

"Long live the emperor..."

"Long live the emperor..."

"Long live the emperor..."

There were so many people, their shouts directly suppressed the voices of the officials.

In the eyes of the common people, Zhao Yanxun is equivalent to a god, so they respect him endlessly, and what they shout out is also the voice of their hearts.

Normally, the emperor will be under martial law when he travels. Few emperors can experience the scene in front of them, and few people can see the emperor, even if they are just looking at a figure from a distance.

Standing in front of thousands of subjects, Zhao Yanxun put his hand on the leather belt and said solemnly: "Excuse me!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After saying this, all the officials stood up, but the common people were still kneeling on the ground, no matter how the officials reminded them, they would not get up.

"The emperor commanded the army, wiped out the barbarians, and the common people bathed in the emperor's favor. On this triumphant occasion, they couldn't help themselves. Please forgive me!" Cheng Wenguang said with a smile.

It was Zhao Yanxun who called the people to come, how could he be angry because of this.

Walking towards the chariot and sedan chair, Zhao Yanxun said calmly: "Chengqing, am I such a stingy person?"

Cheng Wenguang hastily bowed down and said: "The emperor has a heart in his heart, it's a lie!"

"Hahaha……"

Zhao Yanxun laughed loudly and didn't say any more, and soon he came to the sedan chair.

Zhao Yanxun got on the sedan chair, and the dumplings were lifted up by more than 30 people amidst the yelling of the ceremony officer.

"The emperor returns to Luan..."

At this moment, the guard of honor was in place, and amidst the sound of drums, the sedan chair rushed towards the palace.

Entering the city, it is the main street leading to the palace, with a width of about [-] meters.

At this moment, on both sides of the street, there are also troops in martial law, but there are still a large number of people kneeling on both sides, shouting "Long live" to welcome the emperor's triumphant return.

The capital has a population of 80, and almost all of them came to welcome the emperor, so from the south gate to the outside of the imperial city, more than ten miles were full of kneeling people.

There was no need for the government to mobilize. After learning that His Majesty the Emperor was about to return to Beijing, they all put down their work and rushed to greet the Emperor on their knees.

"Long live the emperor..."

"Long live the emperor..."

Listening to the voice of the common people and the impassioned performance of the accompanying band, even Zhao Yanxun's mind is calm, he still feels emotional at this moment.

With people's hearts like this, he, Zhao Yanxun, will be famous forever, proud of the ancient and modern emperors.

The title made Xu Hong and others feel unreal, and what happened in front of him at this moment also felt unreal to Zhao Yanxun.

Suddenly, the situation of the previous life appeared in his mind, which made him not know what is real and what is false.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"Your majesty... has already arrived outside the gate of Huangji!"

Cheng Wenguang's reminder outside the sedan chair pulled Zhao Yanxun out of his fantasy, half an hour passed before he knew it.

Stepping out of the sedan chair, he looked at the officials around him, at the tall and majestic palace gate ahead, and at the majestic hall behind the palace gate.

Zhao Yanxun understands... what is in front of him is the truth.

As he walked forward, more and more Huangji Hall, which symbolized imperial power, appeared in his sight.

He is the emperor, an emperor who really controls the civil servants, and the emperor who keeps his words in his mouth and follows the law.

This is his palace, where he will lead the world and build a more magnificent career.

Huangtu's hegemony was right in front of him, but at this moment Zhao Yanxun thought of something else.

Stopping, Zhao Yanxun turned around and looked at the civil and military officials behind him.

"My parents are not far away. I have been away from Beijing for more than half a year. I have not been able to fulfill my filial piety with the empress dowager. Now I am returning to the palace... I should go to the empress dowager to pay my respects!"

"You can return to your positions, and I will discuss the state affairs with you after tomorrow's court meeting!"

In other words, Zhao Yanxun doesn't want to talk nonsense with the officials now, he just wants to go back to the harem to reunite with his family, after all the emperor is also a human being.

Of course, the family members in Zhao Yanxun's heart are only two or three people, and the queen mother is just a reason to move out.

Of course, all the concubines and concubines in the harem are gathered in the Yanshou Palace at this moment, and it is not wrong for Zhao Yanxun to say that he is going to see the Queen Mother.

"The emperor's benevolence and filial piety can be called the law of the world!"

"Let's go, Your Majesty, I'm fine waiting for you!"

For a while, there were constant flattery outside the Huangji Gate. Who still remembers that a large number of loyal and upright ministers were massacred two years ago.

Turning around, Zhao Yanxun quickened his pace, walked onto the chariot parked at the palace gate, and walked into the deep palace surrounded by the servants.

Leaning on the back of the chariot, Zhao Yanxun took off the Panlong Wushayi crown on his head, and glanced at the tall Huangji Hall in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, he raised his eyes and looked at the blue sky.

"nice weather today!"
