The predecessor who was scumbag by me was the emperor

Three days later in the morning court, just after the time of day, a school captain hurried into the palace with a token, saying that the army had arrived ten miles away from Chang'an City.

The ministers were excited, and the original plan was to welcome the meritorious men at the gate of the city in the afternoon, which was the auspicious time calculated by Qin Tianjian, and it was also the most comfortable time of the day in winter.

"Why did you arrive early?" Xu Shoufu stepped forward and asked.

The school lieutenant had a smile on his face, his skin was peeled off due to the wind and sun in the northwest, and he was wearing a dirty padded jacket military uniform, which looked out of place with all the luxury. He replied: "The weather was good yesterday, and the road was smooth." There are many, and last night the army drove the road in the middle of the night, approaching Chang'an, everyone is returning home."

Zhao Zhang got up and got off the dragon chair, and said happily: "I have been waiting for the army for a long time, hurry up, all the family members of the family will come out of the city with me to welcome our warriors of the Jin Dynasty!"

The original plan was to be welcomed by Prince Rui on behalf of the royal family, but the timing was just right, and Zhao Zhang didn't mind going out of the city to meet the army in person, which further showed how much he attached importance to the army.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Naturally, the officials would not refute the emperor's decision at this time, and followed Zhao Zhang out of the palace after three shouts of long live.

Yao Zhan led the imperial guards to open the way ahead, and the people found out about such a grand formation as soon as they left the palace. After further questioning, they found out that it was the triumphant return of the Northwest Army. Want to see the imperial style at a glance.

"Has the holy driver passed by?"

"Never... Look, the imperial guards are here." The imperial guards cleared a path, stopped the excited people outside the wall, and shouted: "Everyone go back! Back! Anyone who dares to take a step will be killed!" No pardon!"

A group of civilians pushed each other and wanted to squeeze to the front, but they accidentally squeezed away the long guns of the Imperial Guards, and fell on the road in a swarm. The surrounding people were horrified, thinking that blood would splatter on the spot.

Several fast horses came galloping from behind. Seeing that the hoofs of the horses were about to step on the overlapping crowd, the guards on the horses tightened the reins urgently and shouted angrily: "What's going on? You haven't pulled people away yet!"

After finally separating the huddled people, the holy driver had already arrived at the rear, how dare the imperial guards delay, each of them carried a person and threw them out of the road. Fortunately, the surrounding people helped them, and no one was injured.

Zhao Zhang sat on the imperial chariot, pulled by four sweaty horses, and the car drove smoothly across the road. He was not moved by the enthusiasm of the people, but he remembered that Shen Jia once joked that as a leader, he should be more down-to-earth and appear close to the people , with his appearance, he can become the top of the people's adoration. Although some words are used strangely, he can understand what they mean.

People along the way saw Shengjia knelt down to pay homage on his own, shouting long live three times, the sound was continuous and powerful, and Shen Jia followed behind, walking among the ranks of officials, feeling the superiority of the feudal ruling class, saying that he did not feel high-spirited It's fake, this is probably the reason why modern young people strive to climb up the entertainment industry, the feeling of being sought after by many fans is indeed addictive.

At this moment, a burst of high-pitched cheers erupted in front of him. Shen Jia didn't know what happened. She stretched her neck and looked forward, but she could only see the tall emperor's car.

"Your Majesty! That's your Majesty! So young, handsome, and full of heroism!" After bowing down, everyone looked up at the holy chariot passing by, but suddenly, the emperor on the imperial chariot lightly brushed aside the gauze curtain, and nodded slightly towards the people below , although his face was expressionless, the people who saw this scene fainted happily.

Even at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the people of Chang'an City rarely see the true face of the Emperor. Even if there is a celebration, they can only see a figure from a distance. They did not expect to see the face of the Holy Majesty so closely today.

How expensive that is!How handsome!

Zhao Zhang simply ordered people to close the curtains so that he could see the emperor kneeling in the imperial chariot from all directions, wearing a yellow imperial uniform, wearing a crown of golden silk wings on his head, and the hem of his clothes neatly laid out beside his knees. The extravagance of seeing the people's hearts is surging.

At this time, the people will not hate the rich because of the gap between the rich and the poor, they will only worship and yearn for it, and they will not hate the royal family because of the strict hierarchy, but will only sincerely worship.

Shen Jia was very surprised when she learned what happened in front of her. Zhao Zhang was not a pushy emperor, so he didn't expect that he would take the initiative to be close to the people today.

But because of this, the road became more and more blocked, the team moved slower and slower, and it became more and more difficult for the imperial guards to clear the way. Shen Jia thought to herself: This is the power of the idol of the whole people!It is worthy of being the top class in ancient times!

Zhao Zhang frowned and looked at the crowd below, flicked his sleeves, and shouted loudly: "Quiet!"

The first sound did not reach the ears of the common people, so he had to call out a few more times, until someone saw the emperor speak, and immediately silenced, the high-pitched scream seemed to be choked by someone, and stopped instantly up.

Zhao Zhang said loudly: "The army is triumphant today. I will go outside the city to meet you. Don't delay the trip. Please step back outside the road and watch your feet to avoid trampling!"

When the people heard this, it was as if they had heard an imperial decree. They didn't need to be driven away by the imperial guards, and they retreated automatically. They behaved well and quickly gave way to the road.

Zhao Zhang nodded in satisfaction and said, "Thank you!"

These two words are like rain and dew, which moved everyone. Until now, they knew that their emperor was such a kind and generous person. Thinking of what he did for the people after he ascended the throne, the people were even more moved and speechless. I can only kowtow over and over again.

Shen Jia felt that this road seemed endless, and she set off at exactly the same time tomorrow, but it was almost noon when she arrived at the gate of the city.

When the city gate opened, there was a "rumbling" sound. Shen Jia looked up, and saw that the outside of the city was already full of soldiers, and he couldn't see the end at a glance.

Seeing Sheng Jia, Zhenyuan Hou raised his spear to the sky and pointed at the sky. Tens of thousands of soldiers knelt down and shouted long live. The majestic city walls seemed to shake three times and dust fell.

This kind of aura is far from being comparable to that of the court, let alone that of the common people. At this moment, Shen Jia has seen the temperament of a soldier.

Shen Jia witnessed an ancient captive offering ceremony. The ceremony was not complicated, but every step was very solemn and solemn. The sound of drums and the slogans of the soldiers pushed the atmosphere to its climax.

The weather was beautiful today, not only did it not snow, but the sun came out, and the sun was warming. Shen Jia stared at the yellow figure of Daoming in front of him with good eyesight, wishing to shout: This is my man!

At the end of the ceremony, Zhao Zhang sat back on the imperial chariot, and the army saw him off. Some of the civil and military officials stayed for handover, and some followed the team back to the city.

Shen Jia is an official of the Ministry of Industry and has nothing to do with the army, so he is also included in the return journey, but he wants to stay. This time the army triumphed, and most of the recruits returned. This war also caused tens of thousands of casualties. It is just a prophecy that the last part of the veterans must be discharged. , so more than half of the recruits will go to the northwest to guard the border after returning this time.

Zhang Lu must also be in the team. Shen Jia wanted to know whether he wanted to leave or stay, but today was not a good time to ask questions.

When the team returned to the palace, a banquet had been set up in the palace to entertain the meritorious soldiers, and delicious wine and food were sent out of the palace like flowing water, and sent to the camp to reward the sergeants.

Marquis Zhenyuan returned to the palace with Shengjia, and Cao Shizi and the senior generals of the army also entered the palace with him.

After all the parties were seated, Zhao Zhang had the opportunity to talk to Zhenyuan Hou. It is always emotional to see the monarchs and ministers after years of separation.

Marquis Zhenyuan is undoubtedly the protagonist tonight, and his position is arranged at the bottom left of the emperor, and Prince Rui is opposite him.

Zhao Zhang looked at Zhenyuan Hou's weathered face, and recruited someone to help him wash and change his clothes. He took off his heavy armor and put on brocade clothes.

Shen Jia sighed in her heart: The appearance of the Cao family is really unique, a handsome guy of the family!

"Fortunately, the last general lived up to his fate and guarded the border!" Marquis Zhenyuan felt relaxed when he saw the luxurious hall.

"The Marquis of Zhenyuan has worked hard. It is better to rest at home for a while when returning to Beijing. It is expected that there will be no war at the border in the short term." Zhao Zhang said thoughtfully.

"It's true that I have to rest for a while. There are a few new boys in the family who I haven't seen yet. I don't want to leave when I come back this time. I want to retire early and stay at home to entertain my grandchildren."

Zhao Zhang didn't know whether he really thought so or was testing himself. After all, the Marquis of Zhenyuan held a heavy army, and all dynasties would be suspected by the emperors.

He said sincerely: "This is impossible, how can there be no Marquis Zhenyuan at the border? Besides, you have just passed the age of forty, but you are not yet at the age of enjoying happiness."

Marquis Zhenyuan wiped away his tears, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your attention! But I have been at the border for a long time, and my body is full of injuries. Although I am only middle-aged, my body is not good enough. If the Emperor can trust my son Cao Rui'an, I can let him Several years of experience in the military."

"The son's civil and military strategy should be reused naturally. Please also ask Ai Qing to bring more belts. It will not be too late for him to retreat to the second line when he can take charge of his own side. When he comes back this time, let the envoy Hong take good care of your body. Feel free to ask me what medicine you should use." Take it from the inner treasury, you must take good care of your health, the people of Dajin are still counting on the God of War to protect them."

Marquis Zhenyuan felt the emperor's trust and respect for the Cao family, he felt relieved, and felt that all the years of hard work were worth it.

Before he came back, people around him often reminded him that he was worried that the court would tear down bridges and slaughter donkeys when crossing the river. Although he felt that the emperor was not such a narrow-minded person, he couldn't guarantee whether Zhao Zhang, who became the emperor, still remembered the time when he sent him out of the city. Having said that, the emperor was suspicious, and he didn't dare to hold out hope.

That's why he half-truthfully proposed to hand over the military power just now. If the emperor agrees, he will hand over the military power to his confidants. It's not bad for him to enjoy his life in Chang'an. After a few years of tossing in the northwest, he can always guard the border for Dajin for a few more years.

But the emperor's answer made him very useful, and he knew that the second son held a high position in the court, which was also the respect and comfort the emperor gave to the Cao family.

"Come on, let's not talk about this. I respect all the warriors for a glass of wine. Thank you for your bravery and fearlessness. You have guarded the gate of the country for the Jin Dynasty, the country for me, and the stable life for the people. I will do it first and respect it!"

The officials also toasted the generals. At this moment, the civil servants showed their usual sophisticated eloquence and praised the generals highly.

The house is full of warmth, the emperor and his ministers have fun together, and there are delicious wines and delicacies, dancing and music, which is fascinating.
