Behind the jade chariot were ministers and guards with swords and spears. Led by Wu Sheng, the guards behind were divided into four columns, and there were no less than two hundred people in a rough sweep.

Walking on both sides of the jade chariot are the palace maids who are holding on to various magic weapons. Their expressions were respectful, and their colorful clothes were fluttering, which gave the solemn guard of honor a festive and lively atmosphere.

The civil and military officials, all above the fourth rank, are arranged in order from high to low in accordance with the instructions of the Ministry of Rites, and walk behind the emperor's guard of honor.

The whole scene is several miles long, and you can't look at each other before and after, which can be described as mighty.

Since Emperor Qinglong's accession to the throne, there has never been such a grand occasion. He is diligent in government and loves the people, and he has always disliked these false courtesies. When the Son of Heaven travels, it is a short journey, and it consumes a lot of manpower and material resources.

This time, firstly, to calm the hearts of the people, and secondly, Emperor Qinglong also wanted to see the people under his rule. His time is short, and after this time, even if he wants to go out of the city, I am afraid it will be difficult to have energy.

At this time, the people of the city were jubilant, and the emperor's guard of honor passed by, and they knelt on the ground one after another, and the mountains shouted long live.

Their hearts are grateful, grateful to this good emperor who loves his people and allows them to recuperate. At this time, the cries swept over the capital like a wave.

The lively crowds in the restaurants on both sides also knelt down to salute.

Among them, two people glanced at each other, and they both understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

Emperor Qinglong is so popular, and the honor guard is so thoughtful. Don't say that if you make an assassination, even if you make a slight move, I am afraid that if you are not killed by the guards, you will also be drowned by these people with angry spit.

They are alone, even if they risk their lives, they will not be able to hurt Emperor Qinglong in the slightest, but will expose themselves.

At that moment, both of them stopped thinking and became one of the ordinary people again.

……

Qingluo listened to the sound of the mountain shouting outside and stepped into the backyard of Ningfu.

Her face was full of excitement, and she said excitedly: "Young lady, do you hear? It's lively outside! The emperor wants to go out from the Dingding Gate to greet the triumphant crown prince." ”

"Ah, the maid really wants to see it. Qingluo's eyes have turned into star eyes, with a look of longing and yearning.

Xu Wanzhen and Tu Manfen were both amused by her, and Xu Wanzhen said, "If you want to go and see, you should go and occupy a place this morning." If you go at this time, don't say that you can't squeeze in, and even if you squeeze in, I'm afraid you will be locked up. ”

Although she didn't ask Wu Zhengxiang about his errands outside, she also knew from his words that she had arrested a lot of people in the past few days.

This is not a modern society governed by the rule of law.

The Emperor is the supreme being.

It doesn't matter who you are, whether you are guilty or not, as long as it may hinder the emperor's safety, you will be arrested first. It's best if there's nothing to do, and if there's something to do, the sentence will be convicted.

In this sweep, many ruffians and hooligans in the capital were arrested, and two Jiangyang thieves who had lived in seclusion for many years were also arrested. Wu Zhengxiang told Xu Wanzhen these as interesting stories.

However, most of those arrested were innocent people.

Xu Wanzhen pursed her lips in her heart, expressing dissatisfaction with the centralized rule of this feudal dynasty. Of course, having lived here for a few years, she would not be so stupid to express this dissatisfaction.

Before arriving at the Xu family, Qingluo was an official maid, and she was not unaware of this. She grinned and said, "The maid is just joking, it is difficult for the emperor to go out of the palace, which people don't yearn for it?"

"Alright, let's get down to business. Xu Wanzhen said with a smile.

Speaking of this, Qingluo became more and more eyebrows and danced. She said with a smile: "Lord Wang's bride price pomp has made the guards at the door talk about it all the time." ”

Today's biggest scene is the liveliness of Dingding Gate. But for the soldiers guarding the other gates of the capital, it was really itchy to hear about this grand ceremony but not to see it in person.

And Wang Leyu waited for An Ximen to open the door early in the morning, and the bride price behind him was ready. In particular, a pair of geese with wings tied and still in good spirits are eye-catching.

The soldiers had all heard of this Lord Wang, and knew that he was decisive and ruthless, and they had not seen him so approachable.

First tried to talk to him and ask, Wang Leyu was in a good mood, so he took the trouble to answer everyone's questions. The core of their discussion was naturally that so many well-prepared bride prices were sent to He's family.

When they knew that they were going to the Tu family and asked the Tu lady who was leaving, everyone was still a little embarrassed, for fear that asking too much would make him think more.

Unexpectedly, Wang Leyu did not shy away from it, but talked about it eloquently.

Qingluo was articulate, and her crisp voice told her about it, as if she had seen it herself. Hearing this, Tu Manfen's eyes were shining, and Xia Sheng's cheeks were shining.

After Qingluo retreated, Tu Manfen was a little embarrassed and said, "It turns out that I misunderstood him." ”

Xu Wanzhen said with a smile: "Lord Wang's bride price may have been prepared early in the morning. As soon as you nod his head, he will take it out. Now, you should rest assured!"

Tu Manfen was still waiting to say more, Xu Wanzhen smiled: "If you don't know your heart, you might as well try to believe him." ”

"Trust him?"

"Even if it's wrong, will it be worse than now?" asked Xu Wanzhen, staring into her eyes.

Tu Manfen thought about it carefully and said, "No, but I'm afraid that if I am hurt again, I will never have the courage to live again." ”

Xu Wanzhen shook her head slowly and said, "No, you won't." ”

"The current Tu Manfen is no longer the same as before. It's not just your husband who takes your life, but also the cotton mill that makes you put your heart and soul into it, and the parents and family standing behind you. ”

She held Tu Manfen's hand and said firmly: "And Mr. Ning, and me." No matter what happens to you, you have to believe that we will support you unconditionally. ”

"Wanzhen. Hearing her words, Tu Manfen's heart was greatly moved.

If it were someone else, I am afraid it would not be as good as Xu Wanzhen's words.

You must know that in her most difficult time, it was Xu Wanzhen who reached out regardless of her previous suspicions. It was she who did not shy away from leaving her in the Chungkook Mansion. At that time, the Chen family had always been hostile to Xu Wanzhen.

It was she who came up with the way out to stay with Mr. Ning. Only then did she find a new life, with new pursuits and loves.

Or her, when Anping Houfu wanted to drag the matter of Heli far away, she came to seek justice for her, and designed Cheng Jinghao to sign the Heli paperwork.

Otherwise, where would she have such a free life now? The Cheng family was convicted, the man was exiled to Yazhou, and the woman was filled with the teaching department.

Mrs. Cheng, who was originally courted by everyone in the Hou Mansion, died in the Jiaofang Division in such a desolate manner. It is said that because there was no money to make a point, it was just hastily rolled with a bamboo mat and thrown into the mass grave.

In the dead of night, Tu Manfen often felt afraid. If she is still in the Cheng family, what will be the situation now?

At this time, it was Xu Wanzhen who was by her side to encourage her and give her courage.
