1727 The first meeting of the monarch and the minister

"Ah......h Ah ...... "Xiao Lotian sneezed twice in the night, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his nose, "Oh, it's happy! Who is talking to me? Ah sneeze ......"

The horses were now out of the forest, and in front of them were plains, farmlands, and scattered villages, and the smoke of the cooking stove was wafting and the faint candlelight was shining through the windows. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Farther away, a city was dark and gloomy, and the light of the torches on the city wall outlined the outline of the city, especially at the gate of the city, where the soldiers with torches lined up for more than two miles.

Jaechun looked at the city in front of him and was silent for a long time before he spoke, "This is Ningguta......?

"Isn't this nonsense, this is the place where you love Xinjueluo's family to exile prisoners, a place where even you are full of people don't want to come, you say it can be good? If this was two hundred years ago, you couldn't even see this village......

"Let's go, look at the posture of Ningguta City, Hunchun has arrived, you are the king of the Great Qing Kingdom, now you have to go to the front......"

The guards automatically gave way to an alley, and with an excited face, they rode forward and headed straight for Ningguta City.

This is my land, this is my country, this is my territory! Jaechun wanted to yell twice excitedly, but the emperor taught him to be calm, so he could only suppress his emotions and secretly yell twice at himself in his heart.

What was the former self? He was only in name only, he was the emperor of the Qing Dynasty on the surface, but his real identity was just a slave in the Forbidden City, and he couldn't even make his own decisions about what to eat in the morning, noon and evening every day.

I don't like to eat the fat slices of white flowers, but some people always say that it is the ancestral family law, and I can't forget my roots...... , how many years have you been in the customs, and you still fool me with boiled meat slices in plain water, and you don't forget your roots when you eat it with a little salt?

I can't make my own decisions about food, clothing, housing, and transportation, let alone any kind of governance, how should the Qing Kingdom go, and when will I have the final say? Even if I want to add one more course in Western studies, I can't, I'm a fart in their eyes!

Hunchun was just a stubborn donkey trapped in the poor countryside of Ningguta, how could he have controlled the land of the two provinces without my secret decree, let alone launch this mutiny.

I am not only his emperor, but also his benefactor, he has become my direct minion, he will not be accepted by any faction without me, I am his only choice, his life and family have been branded with me, and it will never be washed away.

Only such subordinates are most assured, and only such a feeling is called being in control!

Ningguta City is getting closer and closer, and there are soldiers guarding the entrances of the villages on both sides of the post road, and seeing this group of cavalry slowly coming one by one, they raise their heads without squinting, God knows how many pairs of eyes are peeping at all this behind them.

The news that Emperor Tongzhi had arrived in person had already been quickly delivered to Hunchun in Ningguta, and the double general had been standing at the gate of the city four hours ago, and he would not listen to anyone who advised him to rest.

Hunchun took off his armor and changed into the mendative uniform that the previous dynasty must wear, a first-class unicorn complement showed off his might on his chest, and his eyes trembled slightly, this tonic suit Hunchun has never liked to wear, in his eyes, a military attache only wears armor to have the appearance of a military attaché, so he should not wear any supplementary clothes like Wenchen.

But today this is to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom, this is the first time Hunchun has seen His Majesty, and it is also the first time that Emperor Tongzhi has inspected this land outside the Guan, so it is impossible to say that he does not wear such a serious dress on such an occasion.

"General! is coming...... Your Majesty is coming!" a fast horse galloped in front of him, and as he spoke, he looked behind him, and sure enough, a group of cavalry surrounded a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy came slowly.

The team has arrived in the alley composed of soldiers with torches, whenever the horses' hooves march, where the soldiers dare not speak, all kneeling on one knee, the torches are held high for the emperor to illuminate the road, and the torches in the alley are two miles long and the torches are whistling and beating constantly by the wind.

Hunchun had seen a photo of Emperor Tongzhi before, and he thought that he recognized this as the long live of the Qing Dynasty, but in fact, there is no photo and it can't be wrong, sometimes the dragon among people can see it clearly at a glance.

But when Emperor Tongzhi appeared in front of him, this native of the Eight Banners outside the Guanwai was dumbfounded, he never expected that the emperor of the Qing Dynasty would actually wear a Western-style military uniform.

Flat-topped patent leather brimmed hat, blue woolen military uniform, armed belt tied to the body, shiny cowhide boots over the knee, a thick cloak tied a button on the chest, the heroic eyes on the face were dark and shiny, the only thing that was a little incongruous was the thin braid, which was not dragged on the back but around the neck and then hung down on the back.

I have to say that this dress looked at a group of generals, and even forgot to salute.

Zai Chun rode over with a smile, and the horse's head was on Hunchun's chest, "What's the matter? I don't know me? Do you need to take out my seal and match it with the secret decree?"

Hunchun was a spirit, and hurriedly hit the horse's hooves and knelt on both knees, "Slave Hunchun knocks to see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

None of the officers and soldiers at the gate of the city dared to stand, and they all fell to their knees on the ground, and the sound of hooray was earth-shattering.

Time stood still, Zaichun sat on the horse and looked at Hunchun, Hunchun knelt on the ground and looked up at Zaichun, and a monarch and a minister stared at each other like this.

It really depends on fate between people, some people can feel the deep good fate just when they see it for the first time, Xiao Letian in the back thought that he would see a big drama of monarchs and ministers and light with dust, and he also wanted to listen to the polite words between the Manchu monarchs and ministers, but he didn't expect that the two of them just looked at each other and didn't say a word.

One-minute, two-minute, three-minute...... Time passed minute by minute, the two still didn't speak, Xiao Letian's laughing expression gradually became solemn, he already understood a little.

"Gathering momentum?Jae-chun actually understands the power of silence?" Xiao Lotian whispered to Sakamoto Ryoma, "Did you teach it?"

The great monk of the dragon servant shrugged his shoulders, "You think too highly of me, Your Majesty is also a member of the Qing Dynasty, and the education you have received since childhood is not in vain, you are a master such as Weng Tonggong who eats mixed rice?"

"It can only be said that Your Majesty is old, and his horizons have been broadened, and the things he learned on paper in the past have finally been comprehended......"

Xiao Lotian glanced at Ryoma Sakamoto, and then looked at the pantomime in front of him, he estimated that Jaechun and Hunchun had been staring at each other for ten minutes.

At this moment, Hunchun's palms were full of sweat, and the military attaches and soldiers behind him also felt endless pressure, and their knees kneeling on the ground were faintly painful.

One is kneeling on the ground and looking up, the other is sitting on horseback and looking down, one high and one low, the momentum is naturally one and the other, don't look at Zaichun's youth, but within ten minutes, he has accumulated an aura far beyond Hunchun.

"Hehe, it's interesting, it's really interesting......" Just as Xiao Lotian laughed in a low voice, Jae Chun finally spoke.

Hunchun ...... Do you believe me?"

Hunchun was stunned at the time, he didn't expect His Majesty to come up with such a sentence, and before he could answer, Zaichun popped out another sentence.

Hunchun ...... Are you willing to give me your life? If you do, I'll take your life......

The one-meter-eight man outside the gate burst into tears, and he slammed his head on the ground, "Master......! The life of a slave is born from birth...... Yours from birth!"

"Okay, then I'll take ......."
