1272. The guard of honor leaves the palace

By the fifth day.

Changsha is bustling in the city.

The emperor's honor guard is going out of the city. This is not a small momentum.

In addition to the honor guard and the forbidden army, a total of 2,000, Zhao Da led 5,000 flying dragon troops to accompany him.

Eunuchs, palace maids, and so on are also countless.

Speaking of which, Zhao Dongting doesn't seem to have left the palace with such a momentum.

Before his guard of honor left the palace, there were already soldiers of the Flying Dragon Army who went out of the city dozens of miles away to open the way. For fear that some thieves would disturb the emperor's holy drive.

When Zhao Dongting's guard of honor left the palace, the flags, big umbrellas, etc., supported by the accompanying guard of honor, did not know how far they had spread.

The soldiers of the Imperial City Forbidden Army and the Flying Dragon Army were all riding on horses, majestic.

Zhao Dongting's dragon and the female phoenix, etc., were all guarded in the center by the group, and slowly walked towards the outside of Changsha City.

There were soldiers on both sides of the street, and the people watched from afar.

When he saw the dragon, he knelt down and bowed.

After dozens of minutes, the team had not completely left Changsha City.

One can imagine how huge this battle is.

And this is actually not Zhao Dongting's original intention.

He wanted to take the girls to Haojing Island, and he originally only planned to bring a few Wudingtang to worship, and then let Zhao Da lead two thousand flying dragon troops to accompany him. But he didn't think about it, and things gradually became out of his control.

Yang Shufei didn't know where she heard that he was going to Haojing Island, she was meditating on fasting and reciting Buddha, but she actually found Zhao Dongting and said that she would go with her.

What can Zhao Dongting do?

You can't refuse your own mother.

And then it's out of control.

Xie Daoqing, and now there are some royal relatives who have no real power and dare not participate in politics, all of them have the mind to think quietly.

This trip to Haojing Island looks more and more like a collective outing of the Song Dynasty royal family.

And as this news spreads more and more, more and more people find Zhao Dongting.

Zhang Jue, who has retired, Sun Shichuan, the deputy superintendent and others, are afraid that they are all idle in the imperial city, and they all want to go with them.

Zhang Jue is the imperial prince, and Sun Shichuan is also an old minister, how can Zhao Dongting be embarrassed to stop him?

Then Hong Wutian, Mrs. Xu, and Gu Master are naturally going to go.

Now that the Great Song Dynasty is singing and dancing, they are all living a leisurely life. When encountering such an opportunity, they are all scrambling.

Zhao Dongting had no choice, so he could only continue to replenish the accompanying soldiers and honor guards. So, in the end, it became what it is now.

This is almost a collective outing of the royal family and retired ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, and it can be regarded as the benefits given to them by Zhao Dongting.

Only in the eyes of outsiders, the emperor has ulterior motives for traveling with such a guard of honor.

Everyone thought that Zhao Dongting was going to inspect the people's situation, and the Son of Heaven was on his way.

Since this news spread from Changsha to various places, I don't know how many officials have been waiting for the emperor's inspection.

In the evening of this day, Zhao Dongting's honor guard was still a few miles away from Xiangtan. On the official road, there are already dozens of Xiangtan officials standing in the middle of the road to greet them.

The Flying Dragon Army, which has taken the lead, has cleared out the entire official road.

"The ministers welcome the emperor's holy drive, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live......"

As soon as they saw Zhao Dongting's dragon, all the officials knelt on the ground and shouted.

It's a pity that none of them were able to see Zhao Dongting.

Although Gonggong Liu, who was beside Zhao Dongting, saw the army stop, after asking in front, he returned to Zhao Dongting's chariot and said, "Your Majesty, it is the officials of Xiangtan Mansion who will welcome you again." ”

"Hmm!"

Zhao Dongting's somewhat lazy voice came from inside the chariot, "I won't go to see them, let Sun Shichuan and Master Sun wait for me to go to the city for a banquet." I don't want to disturb the people too much during this trip, and you can also pass on the message to these officials so that they don't need to be too nervous. I'm just out to relax, passing by here, what should they be busy with. I will camp outside Xiangtan City tonight and leave tomorrow. ”

"Yes......"

Father-in-law Liu agreed softly outside the chariot.

Then he walked towards the front of the army.

Before arriving at the army, he pinched his throat at the officials in Xiangtan and said: "The emperor has an order, he just came out to relax." Don't be nervous, just do whatever you need to do! The emperor knows that you all have good intentions, and will ask Sun Shichuan and Lord Sun to go to the city for a banquet on his behalf. If there's anything you need to do, you just have to talk to Sun. ”

The officials in front of him were slightly stunned, and then their faces showed a little disappointment.

In fact, where do they have something to report, Xiangtan is next to Changsha, if there is really something, they have already submitted it to the palace. They just want to take this opportunity to look at the sky.

In these years, it is not easy to meet the emperor. Even if it is the governor of Tanzhou sitting in Xiangtan Mansion, I am afraid that he has never seen Zhao Dongting's appearance.

And if you can see it, it is undoubtedly a blessing. In terms of their rank, it can really be said that they put gold on their faces.

But unfortunately, the emperor did not give them this opportunity.

But the officials didn't dare to say anything, nodded their heads again and again, and thanked Liu Gonggong.

"Then you can wait here first!"

Gonggong Liu seems to be an old slave in front of Zhao Dongting, but in front of these officials, he is quite majestic.

He waved his hand lightly and went back to the ranks.

When he informed Sun Shichuan of Zhao Dongting's meaning, he saw Sun Shichuan take a few old ministers who were also retired to get out of the car and walk to the army.

Then, the officials of Xiangtan took them to Xiangtan City like stars and moons.

Zhao Dongting's guard of honor stopped on the official road.

A Wyvern sergeant went around to look around, looking for a place to camp.

Li Goudan was also in Zhao Dongting's chariot, and at this time, he couldn't help but ask Zhao Dongting, "Your Majesty, why don't you see them?" ”

Zhao Dongting chuckled and explained: "Being an official requires both grace and power, and it may not be a good thing to be too friendly. For example, I am the biggest official in the world, but I can't see everyone, if that's the case, then I don't need to do anything else, just meeting this and that every day is enough to be busy. The officials of the DPRK and China are of good character and rank, and it is not a good thing for them to go beyond the ranks. You said that if I met with these Xiangtan Mansion officials, and they were good at taking pictures, and I praised them a few words, what would their officials think? ”

Li Goudan was stunned and said, "What do you think?" ”

Zhao Dongting said: "I will think that they are favored by the emperor, and in the future, it will be inevitable to maintain the majesty and fairness of the past." ”

"Oh......"

Li Goudan showed a sudden realization, "Goudan understands." It's as if the father is a festival envoy and the son is a county commander, if you let Zhizhou know the relationship between them, then Zhizhou will have to be polite to that county order. ”

"Exactly."

Zhao Dongting smiled and touched Li Goudan's head, "Your head is really bright." ”

He is indeed quite fond of Li Goudan.

This kid has a bright head, and he can often get through it at a glance. Otherwise, Zhao Dongting wouldn't have said this to him just now.

He is also cultivating Li Goudan, if Li Goudan really becomes a big official in the future, then these words may have some impact on him.

Rats have a mouse path, and cats have a cat path. In fact, the large and small circles in this world are all divided into levels and levels.

This is not something that Zhao Dongting can change, and he has never thought of changing it.

This night, he really didn't enter Xiangtan City, and the honor guard just camped outside the city.

And after Sun Shichuan brought a few retired ministers into Xiangtan City, he didn't stay long before returning.

Even the biggest official in Xiangtan City, the governor of Natan Prefecture, is actually not qualified to deal with them. Talking too much and talking too closely is not necessarily a good thing.

Sun Shichuan and these old ministers all know Zhao Dongting's character, and of course they won't stay in the city for long.

Following.

It was still dawn, and after the honor guard made food outside the city, it went straight through Xiangtan City and continued to the south.

The officials in Xiangtan City did not dare to ask for a meeting again this time, and they did not appear again from the time the honor guard entered the city to the time they passed through the city.

There was a slight sense of vigilance in the words that Zhao Dongting asked Gonggong Liu to pass on yesterday, and all of them were human spirits, so they could understand it.

Regardless of loyalty or loyalty, it is obvious that those who can mix in officialdom will not be too simple characters.

Yuan Zhongdu.

Turandot had been living in the palace for more than a month.

She originally lived in Zhenjin's palace, but now, Zhenjin arranged a separate palace for her in the palace.

Whether it was him, the queen mother, or even the ministers of the court, no one thought that Turandot would return to the Great Song Dynasty.

Only on this day, when Turandot went to greet the queen mother in the morning, he said: "Queen Mother, my daughter has been living in the palace for more than a month, and she is going to go back to the Great Song Dynasty." ”
