Chapter 260: The People's Heart
The army walked for five days, and returned to the capital in the evening of the fifth day, and the people of the city gathered at the north gate, waiting for the return of the army. Under the leadership of the two princes, the civil and military ministers stood on both sides of the city gate, just waiting for the arrival of the holy car.
"Why haven't you seen anyone at this hour?"
A man waited anxiously, he had come here early this morning to occupy a front seat, and now he saw that it was evening, and after waiting for a day, he did not see the shadow of the army.
"What do you know, the army has to be sorted out before entering the city, they have come back from the battle, and they have been gone for so many days, it is inevitable that people will be sleepy and tired, if they don't tidy up, won't they lose the majesty of the royal family." A scholar stood beside the man, his face full of excitement.
"That is, I heard that this war is fierce, if it weren't for the wisdom of our saints and the brave soldiers, then the soldiers of the Western Desert would have come to the capital, where would we still have a good life."
"Yes, yes, they are real heroes, see if those barbarians dare to think about attacking us again in the future."
The crowd was talking about this war with the Western Desert, and it was clear that everyone in the capital now knew that they had a wise emperor who was able to form a peace treaty with Beiyan to ensure the stability of the border between the two countries and allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment. What the people are afraid of, it is nothing more than corrupt officials and tyrannical expropriation, and if the king is not virtuous, then there will be corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the king is warlike, then it will attract tyranny. Moreover, the flames of war will not only leave you without food, but will also take away your loved ones, bringing death and injury.
Therefore, when the agreement of Mengshan was reached, the people were jubilant, which was in line with the will of the people. Therefore, when the news came that the Western Desert army besieged Mengshan and carried out a sneak attack, the hearts of the people were all hanging; When the news came that the alliance mountain broke through and completely annihilated the army of the Western Desert. The common people are even happier.
They are happy that when war does come, their soldiers can defend their homeland with fewer enemies, and they are true heroes. Over the course of a few days. The news of how Fang Zhengyun cooperated with Bei Yan to help recapture the city, and how Emperor Jin Duo used his troops like a god to achieve victory with few casualties has spread all over the streets.
There are various versions of this raid in the teahouse restaurant, and the storyteller is foaming at the mouth, which creates a lot of magic for the matter. Nobody thinks about it. Why is the army still thousands of miles away, this news has already spread all over the capital, but few people know about Jin Rong's rescue.
Under such vigorous publicity, the emperor returned to Beijing to greet far more people than when he left the city that day, and many people even came to occupy their seats at dawn, for fear that they would not be able to see the demeanor of the army clearly.
"It's coming, it's coming."
Before the person arrived, he saw the colorful flags in the distance, and the big guy knew. This must be the royal guard of honor. When the ministers saw this, they hurriedly moved their sore legs, tidied up their clothes, and waited for the big salute to pay respects.
Fang Zhengyun, who was riding a tall horse in front, was also stunned, but he didn't expect the people in front of him to be crowded. Seeing that the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division were holding hands to maintain order, and even some soldiers stood together to form a human wall to control the people. Fang Zhengyun was a little worried, he was afraid that there would be a loss in this person, so with a wave of his big hand, the person behind him stopped.
Fang Zhengyun turned the horse's head, came to the side of Jin Duo's imperial chariot, and dismounted to report: "Your Majesty." There are too many people who have come to greet us today, and the ministers are afraid that there are people with bad intentions hidden among them, so you see, your emperor, whether we want to disperse and then enter the city. ”
Hearing this, Jin Duo groaned slightly, "No need. Don't hurt the people. ”
Fang Zhengyun understood what Jin Duo meant, and said in a low voice that it was, and the army advanced again.
The common people saw the army getting closer and closer, and the honor guard in front of them was full of energy, riding high-headed horses, and the armor on their bodies was glowing with cold light. Can't help but cheer.
When the ministers saw that the emperor's imperial chariot stopped in front of the city gate, they quickly knelt on the ground and shouted, "Welcome to the return of my lord, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
Hundreds of ministers shouted in unison, and the scene was also very spectacular, and the surrounding people were inspired by this, and they knelt on the ground and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”
Jin Duo saw the sea-like crowd of people kneeling down in front of him, and his heart was excited, how many years, this is the first time he really feels that in the hearts of the people, he is their emperor and the son of heaven.
Jin Duo slowly walked down the imperial chariot, which startled the eunuchs and forbidden soldiers around him, and hurriedly surrounded Jin Duo, Jin Duo stood in front of the hundred officials and said loudly: "Zhong Aiqing is flat." ”
The ministers didn't expect the emperor to come down in person, so they were stunned for a moment, and then slowly stood up and said, "Long live Xie." ”
Jin Duo looked at the kneeling people around him and said, "Everyone is flat." ”
The common people didn't understand the meaning, but they saw one of them stand up and say, "Emperor Xie." Then they all stood up, looking at their emperor and their king so closely.
"All the lovers, all the people, the city gate personally greets me, and I am relieved. I went to Mengshan this time for the sake of the stability of the country and the world, and finally lived up to expectations and achieved my wishes, and since then the northern border has enjoyed peace forever. I have nothing else to ask for in this life, I just wish the people peace and the world peace. ”
Jin Duo's words were impassioned, and the surrounding people were even warmer in their hearts when they heard it, their emperor only wished that the people would be happy and the world would be balanced, and this was not the wish of the people.
I don't know who was the first to shout: "The people are happy, the world is peaceful, the people are happy, the world is peaceful." ”
With a guide, more and more people in the crowd shouted along, until finally, the sound drowned out the sound of the carriage and horses, drowned out the noise, became the only sound, and spread far away. Jin Duo returned to the palace, and the people welcomed him along the way, and the sentence that was shouted in his mouth, 'The people are happy, and the world is peaceful'.
……
Fang Yage's carriage stopped in front of the princess's mansion, and the little guard hurriedly opened the gate when he saw it, and asked people to report inside. The carriage entered the gate directly, and when it came to the second gate, Fang Yage took Fang Yahuan and the maids out of the carriage, and the mothers-in-law were already waiting at the second gate, the blue sedan chair was added with a thick cotton curtain, and it was getting colder and colder this day.
"Mother is back?"
Fang Yage asked Mama Wang, who was in charge of the inner courtyard, when she left that day, she told Mama Wang to look at the princess's mansion, Fang Yage remembered Jin Rou, and the first thing she did when she met was to ask this.
"Back to the county lord, the eldest princess only came back yesterday, this time she will rest in Qifeng Garden, let the county lord enter the door and go first."
Jin Rou was pregnant and couldn't work, and the weather was too cold, so the people serving in the house didn't let her out, otherwise, she wanted to wait for Fang Yage at Ermen, but the queen sent a senior doctor to serve her again and again, so she didn't make the trip.
In fact, Jin Rou loves Fang Yage too much, where have you heard that when her daughter comes back from a long away, this mother greets her at the door, doesn't it make people gossip. This senior doctor girl was also instructed by Mama Chang, who came together, so she insisted on not letting Jin Rou go out. (To be continued.) )
