When the rest of the eunuchs heard this, they also shouted in unison: "The Holy Son of Heaven travels, kneel~"

The unique tone of the eunuchs spread, and wherever Long Luan passed, except for the Praetorian guards standing guard along the street, the rest of the people all knelt on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

Through the thin veil covering the front of the palace, Liu An looked at the black crowd kneeling on both sides of the street, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

After more than fifteen years on the throne, I dare not say that I surpassed the Wen Tao and Wu strategy of the first emperor, but at least Dacheng Guo has lived a prosperous life under his own conscientious management.

Not far in front is the inner north gate, this name did not exist before his succession, because before he went out of this gate, it was a wilderness, and there were occasional villages in twos and threes, but it was just a bitter haha who had no money to settle down in the city.

However, now it is very different, outside this gate, known as the outer city, is now also a forest of buildings, prosperous, the crowd on the street is endless, a piece of flowers, the scale of the entire imperial city is more than three times larger than fifteen years ago, these are the credit of his Liu An's hard work.

So in the face of the people's kneeling and accepting the shouts of the masses, Liu An is at ease, at least in the hearts of these people, he Liu An is a good emperor for the country and the people.

The rainstorm for several days finally passed, and the sun in the sky finally climbed up the shoulders of the clouds, revealing half of its head, as if it also wanted to see how magnificent the Son of Heaven was.

Outside the north gate, a team of Praetorian Guards passed through the door, heading towards the inner city, the wind and dust along the way did not sharpen the heroic spirit belonging to the Praetorian Guards, Li Chao sat on the tall horse with his head held high, calmly greeted the gaze of countless eyes on both sides of the street.

Xiao Si, who had already returned to the palace first, sent an edict from the saint, the emperor would drive the inner north gate, personally greet the holy woman of the Yuexia Palace, and send an order to Li Chao to protect the holy woman at the inner north gate at two o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Chao urged the war horse under the crotch, and walked towards the inner city without hurrying, the Ministry of Rites has a strict audience process, for the Praetorian Guards, these are their compulsory courses, since the oracle says that it is an audience at two o'clock in the afternoon, then it must not be late, but it can't be much earlier, it needs to be on call after the first hour of noon, so Li Chao needs to press the pace and enter on time.

Zhen Siqi, who was in the middle of the horse team, didn't understand these rules, but she didn't care, she just followed the team.

Bai Sha covered her face, revealing only those bright and moving eyes, which were now looking around, the crowds of onlookers on both sides of the street, and the buildings along the way.

It turned out that this was the legendary outer city, the heroic city of the world built by the man who was known as the Son of Heaven.

"Look, that's the saint, the first beauty in the world!"

In the crowd, I don't know who shouted loudly, which immediately caused a lot of commotion.

Originally, Liu An's three letters were only circulated in the upper circles, but in recent days, for some reason, many storytellers in the restaurant and tea shop have begun to tell stories about the relationship between the Holy Son of Heaven and the Holy Maiden.

"I saw it, the saint smiled at me, it was so beautiful. ”

In the crowd, one person laughed stupidly, but it immediately attracted the ridicule of another person, and many people also started to talk about it.

"Are you daydreaming, and you don't pee on yourself, and the saint can still laugh at your leper face?"

"The saint is obviously veiled, and even if she laughs, it is not something that you ordinary people can see. ”

"Is that person among the sergeants a saint, a white coat, a white horse, so beautiful. ”

......

The commotion in the crowd continued, and from time to time there were some voices of laughter or arguments, which aroused more curiosity among passers-by.

As soon as the early afternoon passed, Li Chao led the Praetorian Guards to appear outside the empty inner north gate, looking at the honor guard of the Son of Heaven who was walking towards him not far away, Li Chao raised his right hand and shouted: "Dismount, welcome the Son of Heaven!"

Li Chao was the first to turn over and dismount, knelt on one knee on the ground, pulled the reins down with his left hand, and the strictly trained war horse also bent its hooves and knelt next to Li Chao.

The Praetorian Guards behind Li Chao, whose movements were only half a beat slower than Li Chao, knelt neatly on the ground, pulled down their war horses, and shouted loudly: "Welcome to the Son of Heaven!"

The entire horse team knelt on the ground, and Zhen Siqi in the center was highlighted, dressed in white like snow, facing the warm sunshine, standing proudly among everyone.

"The emperor has arrived!"

Xiao Yuanzi's unique voice overwhelmed the noisy crowd, resounding inside and outside the city gate, and the guards holding the dragon flag separated left and right along both sides of the city gate, separating the crowd of onlookers.

The guards holding the archway stood on both sides of the city gate and set up the honor guard of the Son of Heaven.

Long Luan, who belonged to the emperor, slowly drove out of the city gate and stayed in the center of the clearing, Liu An stood up from the dragon chair, walked through the tulle, stood on the car, and looked at Zhen Siqi not far away.

"Xuan! The Holy Maiden of the Yuexia Palace is here!"

Looking at Liu An on the dragon for a moment, Zhen Siqi turned over and dismounted, his hands were flat to his chest, he bent his knees, and saluted Liu An from afar, his voice was not loud, but it was clearly transmitted to Liu An's ears: "Zhen Siqi, a person from Yuexia Palace, has seen His Majesty the Emperor of Dachengguo, Your Majesty is blessed with Qitian, and Qitai Wan'an." ”

"Everyone is exempt from courtesy, the holy woman has come from thousands of miles away, tired along the way, I am very worried, now I have arrived in the imperial city, and I also ask the holy woman to come forward, ride with me, drive back to the palace first, and then wash the dust for you. ”

Although Zhen Siqi did not take off the veil, Liu An looked at Zhen Siqi's demeanor, listened to Zhen Siqi's voice, and looked at the pair of apricot eyes, and knew what kind of peerless face was hidden under the thin veil.

didn't think much about it, since he had come to Qixia City, then Zhen Siqi had to face Liu An directly, he invited himself to take a ride with him, then he would take a ride with him, Zhen Siqi didn't get up, still maintained a salute posture and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the people are grateful." ”

Liu An laughed and instructed Xiao Yuanzi: "Xiao Yuanzi, don't hurry up and greet the Holy Maiden." ”

Xiao Yuanzi was shocked in his heart, it was already a great courtesy to greet him at the city gate, except for the people who had made great contributions to Sheji, there had never been anyone like Zhen Siqi who made the emperor go into a big fight. Now Liu An also asked Xiao Yuanzi, the chief attendant of the chamberlain, to take the initiative to greet him, which is amazing, you must know that in the palace, only the queen mother can enjoy such courtesy.

Xiao Yuanzi bowed to Liu An and said with some puzzlement: "Your Majesty, this?"

Liu An knew the question in Xiao Yuanzi's heart, waved his hand, and said slowly to Zhen Siqi who was not far away: "Yuexia Palace is a place outside the world, but the name of the saint is famous all over the world. ”

"What!"

"Heavenly Maiden, that's not the same name as the Son of Heaven!"

The uproar continued to sound, although Liu An's voice was not too loud, but it still spread to the crowd of onlookers, attracting all kinds of heated discussions.

Liu An didn't care about the surrounding discussions, he still stood on top of Long Luan, and looked at Zhen Siqi not far away with a smile.

Zhen Siqi didn't expect Liu An to come to such a show, Heavenly Maiden, what does this title that has never appeared before mean self-evident.

Zhen Siqi, who was originally just slightly bent her legs, knelt on the ground, this kneeling was not kneeling Liu An, but kneeling to the sky, because Liu An was giving orders on behalf of the sky, and her status as a heavenly daughter was given by God.

Xiao Yuanzi led a group of eunuchs to trot in front of Zhen Siqi, prostrate on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Long live the Heavenly Maiden, the Holy Son of Heaven invites the Heavenly Maiden to board the Dragon Luan." ”

Zhen Siqi stood up and said to Xiao Yuanzi, "Father-in-law, please get up." ”

Xiao Yuanzi hurriedly got up, then bent down and put his arms on top of his head, ready to support Zhen Siqi towards Long Luan.
