Iron Dynasty

It's already autumn, and the elm trees on both sides of Suzaku Avenue are swept away by the breeze.

Lu Fei, who was a little jealous of Chang'an's prosperity, said: When will our Qingzhou be as prosperous as this Chang'an?

This is very difficult. This Chang'an is the ancient capital of the seven dynasties, and this prosperity has been passed down. Luo Xin was proud.

Nonsense, this prosperity is not a baby, how can it be passed down? Hmph, as long as His Highness is here in Qingzhou, within a few years, it will definitely be more prosperous than Chang'an. Lu Fei argued.

Luo Xin curled his lips in disbelief.

Xiao Ming smiled. In fact, what Luo Xin said also made sense. The prosperity of Chang'an City came from all the dignitaries from the whole Great Yu Kingdom concentrated here.

To explain with modern economics, it is high consumption that drives Chang'an's economy and promotes Chang'an's prosperity.

Now his strategy to attract businessmen in Qingzhou is precisely this purpose.

The team was in the middle of the march, and suddenly there was the sound of hooves in front of him, and after a while, three cavalrymen in the armor of the forbidden army came to Xiao Ming.

Big brother! Luo Xin shouted in surprise when he saw the person coming. This person was Luo Xin's brother, Luo Hong.

Luo Hong glanced at Luo Xin, chuckled lightly, dismounted and bowed to Xiao Ming: Senior Captain Luo Hong has seen His Highness.

Knowing that it was Luo Xin's elder brother, Xiao Ming's expression became relaxed. According to the rules, the thousand cavalry who followed him were not allowed to enter the palace.

If other people Xiao Ming is not at ease, but Luo Hong, he is more at ease.

No ceremony. Xiao Ming said, Is Captain Luo here to settle this king's troops?

Exactly, the last commander is here on the order of His Majesty. Luo Hong said with a straight face.

Compared to Luo Xin, this Luo Hong was much more rigid, which Xiao Ming had heard of when he was in Chang'an.

At this time, he said: Lu Fei, you go with Captain Luo first and arrange the soldiers properly.

Lu Fei nodded, clasped his fists and said, Yes, Your Highness.

Luo Hong raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Ming again, but without saying anything, he took Lu Fei and a group of cavalry towards the east.

Feng Deshui took the opportunity to say: The emperor still feels sorry for His Highness, for fear that other princes will interfere and make things difficult for His Highness's soldiers, so Luo Hong is in charge of receiving.

Father's love, this king is moved. Xiao Ming said in agreement.

Feng Deshui often spoke for Xiao Wenxuan in front of Xiao Ming along the way. He knew very well that Xiao Wenxuan was worried that he would hate what he had done to him in the past. This explained that Feng Deshui should try to ease the relationship between father and son.

Chang'an City has a long road from south to north, and the Imperial Palace is located at the northernmost point.

The group walked for an hour before arriving at the palace and stopped at Xuandemen, the main gate of the palace.

His Royal Highness, let's go. Feng Deshui smiled, his task was finally completed.

Looking at the rising and falling Kuwei palaces in the palace gate, the roads and steps paved with white jade, Xiao Ming seems to be in the Forbidden City in his previous life.

The only difference is that the building structure here is different.

Following Feng Deshui and Xiao Ming, they entered the palace, passed the Chengqing Hall, and the two passed through a corridor and stopped in the hall in front of a lotus pond.

At this time, Feng Deshui stopped a small yellow door and asked, Is the emperor in the imperial study?

Reporting to Feng Shilang, the emperor is waiting for His Highness inside. Xiao Huangmen said.

Feng Deshui looked at the room opposite the Baiyu Bridge on the Lotus Pond and said, His Royal Highness, I will not send you to this old slave, the emperor is waiting for you.

Thank you Feng Shilang for your hard work along the way. Xiao Ming cupped his hands, In the future, this king will remember the benefits of Feng Shilang.

Feng Deshui raised his eyebrows and smiled, Your Highness said so, the heart of this old slave is warm, so please, Your Highness.

Nodding his head, Xiao Ming walked towards the imperial study. This place is not unfamiliar to him at all. After all, Xiao Ming grew up in the palace and is very familiar with every grass and tree here.

And the imperial study in front of him is where the predecessor Xiao Ming often played.

It's just that Xiao Ming at this time is not Xiao Ming. Now that he is going to see Xiao Wenxuan's cheap father, he is also a little uneasy. After all, this is the emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom, the honor of the ninety-five.

After crossing the Baiyu Bridge, Xiao Ming reached the front of the imperial study, and the three gilded characters on it were shining with golden light.

Entering the imperial study room, he saw a man wearing a dragon robe with his back facing him, he bowed and said, My son, see the emperor!

Xiao Wenxuan turned around slowly and his eyes fell on Xiao Ming. Before Xiao Ming entered Chang'an, Feng Deshui had already sent someone to tell him.

When he got this news, he had been waiting in the imperial study room. Thinking of meeting Xiao Ming for the first time in three years, he felt a little emotional. This was thrown in Qingzhou by himself, and three years ago, he was whipped and sent back to his son. , how would he think of his father now?

you have grown up.

After staring at Xiao Ming silently for a while, Xiao Wenxuan suddenly did not say what he had planned, but sighed.

Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment, and he raised his eyes to look at Xiao Wenxuan.

Now Xiao Wenxuan is over half a hundred years old, with white strands showing in his hair, and his body is a bit hunched, looking like a half-hundred-year-old old man.

However, as before, the majestic aura on his body was not weakened at all.

Royal father is still incomparable, and his majesty is still the same. Xiao Ming said flatly.

Hearing this, Xiao Wenxuan laughed, When did you learn to flatter yourself? It seems that you have learned a lot in Qingzhou in the past three years.

This is because Pang Yukun has taught me well, and my son has only learned a little bit. Xiao Ming threw the blame to Pang Yukun.

Xiao Wenxuan looked at Xiao Ming again. Naturally, he did not believe what Xiao Ming said. He knew exactly what kind of person Pang Yukun was, and he would not teach him to flatter him if he taught anything.

After thinking about it for a while, he realized that this was Xiao Ming's excuse.

But he didn't want to worry about this issue. This time Xiao Ming came to Chang'an for Cangzhou. He said, It's getting late today, go see your mother, he misses you very much. It's okay to talk about it tomorrow.

Yes, Royal Father. Xiao Ming said in a proper manner.

When Xiao Wenxuan rolled his eyes just now, he realized that what he said was wrong. It seems that in front of this emperor, he should be more careful.

Xiao Wenxuan waved his hand. In fact, he had a lot to say to Xiao Ming, but out of the dignity of a father and an emperor, there were some words he couldn't say.

Xiao Ming bowed out of the imperial study, and felt relieved. He didn't know how to talk to Xiao Wenxuan, and he was very embarrassed.

Walking eastward along the imperial study, Xiao Huangmen led Xiao Ming through an archway, behind which was the courtyard of the concubines.

At this time, Xiao Ming was even more nervous. The person who was going to meet was Concubine Zhen, his nominal mother concubine.
