366. Triumph Haikang
The next morning, a few miles outside the north gate of Haikang County.
It is also a scene of countless civil ministers and military generals, and the people greet each other.
When the people heard that the emperor was about to return to Haikang in triumph, their expressions were full of joy.
The Song Dynasty has not been so relieved.
Before Zhao Dongting came to power, he was beaten by the Yuan army one after another, and after Zhao Dongting took power, before the decisive battle in Guangxi, he was only struggling under the coercion of the Yuan army. If, Guangxi wins, the Song Dynasty finally gets a respite. Nearly half of the country's recovery is just around the corner.
There were rumors in the imperial court that the Yuan Dynasty would definitely not be able to attack the Song Dynasty in a short period of time. Naturally, the people were happy.
This means that they can finally live a stable life.
It is difficult to leave their homeland, and some people who have left their hometowns and rushed to Haikang are even planning to return to their hometowns.
It was almost noon when the army was finally in sight.
Under the scorching sun, the courtiers, soldiers, and people were all sweating, but they were all looking forward to it, and almost no one left.
When the army was still nearly a kilometer away from them, the people already knelt on the ground one after another, and the mountain shouted: "Long live the emperor!" Long live the Emperor! β
At this moment, Zhao Dongting's prestige in the Song Dynasty can be said to have reached its peak.
He was the emperor of Zhongxing who turned the Song Dynasty into turmoil.
Yue Peng, Su Quandang, Miao Youli, Wen Tianxiang and others galloped at the forefront of the army, and when they heard the voice of the mountain, they all smiled.
The soldiers all held their heads high, full of pride.
In the dragon chariot, even Zhao Dongting, Turandot and others also heard this deafening mountain cry.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Dongting's mouth, while Turandot looked at Zhao Dongting with complicated eyes.
It was hard for her to imagine that at Zhao Dongting's age, she could have such a reputation among the people.
The closer the army got to the crowd, the louder the mountain cried.
The war horse walked leisurely and arrogantly, carrying Wen Tianxiang and others through the crowd first, followed by the horse soldiers waving the flag.
There are also people shouting Prime Minister Wen, General Yue, General Su, and so on.
For example, Yue Peng and the generals who followed Zhao Dongting to fight in the south and the north now have a lot of prestige among the people.
And when Zhao Dongting's dragon chariot arrived, the overwhelming mountain cry seemed to be able to overturn the chariot.
Zhao Dongting could hear a deep sense of gratitude and expectation in these voices.
He walked out of the dragon chariot and stood outside the curtain, waving to the people and soldiers on both sides of the official road.
This made the crowd even more excited, and even some kneeling people burst into tears.
National sentiment, this is something that is difficult to put into words.
The surging crowd almost knocked out the soldiers on both sides of the official road.
Turandot lifted the chariot and looked out, stunned.
She had followed the imperial grandfather out of the palace before, but most of the people in the capital did not seem to be so enthusiastic about the imperial grandfather.
In front of Zhao Dongting, a peer, she felt a strong sense of frustration. She used to think she was sorry, but now she realizes that she is nothing more than that.
And after Zhao Dongting's dragon chariot, it was a continuous step pawn. Then, it was the foot soldiers and the Yuan Dynasty soldiers who staggered.
Including Mengto, the soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty were surprised.
And the most surprised and excited among them is Song Bitao. He probably didn't expect that the emperor would be so popular.
He didn't know that Zhao Dongting made Leizhou a paradise, which made the people of Leizhou how grateful they were to him and the imperial court.
When the army approached Lu Xiufu and the others, Wen Tianxiang raised his hand, and the horse army behind him slowly stopped.
Ma Qian, Lu Xiufu and others bowed their hands to Wen Tianxiang and others, all smiling.
Wen Tianxiang, Yue Peng, Su Quandang and other generals did not dismount, but also arched their hands, and then gave way to both sides.
The soldiers behind followed closely to get out of the way.
Zhao Dongting's dragon chariot slowly stepped forward.
When Lu Xiufu and others approached, the civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty led by Lu Xiufu all knelt on the ground, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live......
If it is said that there may be old ministers in the Great Song Dynasty who have criticized Zhao Dongting's age, after all, there is a saying that there is no hair on the lips, and the work is not firm, and Zhao Dongting's many measures are quite bold, all of which are new policies that the previous dynasty tried. But now, all the ministers can be said to be convinced by Zhao Dongting.
Zhao Dongting's achievements are here, after he took power, the Song Dynasty won successive battles, and the fierce Yuan Dynasty was defeated.
Mo said that now Zhao Dongting is sixteen years old, that is, he is only ten years old, and with his merits, no one dares to disagree.
Who dares to say that if he is in charge of the army, he can defeat the Yuan Dynasty?
And all the princes had their heads bowed to the ground.
At this time, all the important ministers of the Great Song Dynasty were gathered here, and even Zhao and Luo of Qiongzhou were in the army.
Zhao Dongting flattened the ministers and continued to wave to the surrounding people, and the army continued to move forward slowly.
In this way, until Haikang County, the people on both sides are still endless.
Until the street in front of the palace, the people were still watching from behind.
Zhao Dongting took the ministers into the palace, while Yue Peng, Su Quandang and others went to the barracks with their soldiers.
On both sides of the avenue in the palace, there were also many soldiers, and when they saw Zhao Dongting and the ministers arriving, they knelt down one after another.
Concubine Yang Shu, Ying'er and other daughters were waiting for Zhao Dongting in front of the main hall.
Seeing Zhao Dongting coming, the women were all excited. If it weren't for the etiquette, I'm afraid I would have run forward.
Zhao Dongting walked quickly in front of Concubine Yang Shu and knelt on the ground, "Queen Mother." β
Concubine Yang Shufei hurriedly picked up Zhao Dongting, looked left and right, and her eyes were already a little red.
Next to her, Ying'er was already in tears.
She and Zhao Dongting are already a real husband and wife, when Zhao Dongting was out to fight with the army, she was actually no different from ordinary women, and she was looking forward to her husband's safe return every day.
The music and dance girl's eyes are also red.
Zhao Dongting smiled at the girls, then took the hands of Yang Shufei and Ying'er, and said, "Everyone follow me into the hall." β
With that, he took the lead in walking towards the main hall.
The ministers rushed in.
Later, in the main hall, Zhao Dongting asked about Haikang's current situation, but did not say that he would reward the generals, but only said that he would go to Xianglong tomorrow to pay tribute to the fallen soldiers.
The ministers' originally happy expressions gradually sank.
Although the Great Song Dynasty won time to breathe, this was exchanged for the lives of countless soldiers.
Zhao Dongting had already asked people to hang a plaque of "Guotai Min'an" on the dragon couch in the main hall, but at this time, it seems that these four words are stained with countless blood.
This is sadness and helplessness.
Zhao Dongting asked the soldiers to invite the ashes of Qi Tianwolf, Yan Mingling, Liu Yong, Ge Lichun, Ge Xiuhong and other generals into the main hall.
When some old ministers saw these urns, their eyes were red.
They were all generals of the righteous army and the box army who came to King Qin from all over the country, but after arriving in Guangxi, they could not follow Zhao Dongting back to Haikang alive.
They are all loyal martyrs.
Zhao Dongting stepped down from the dragon chariot, and his palms slowly brushed over the urns.
Some ministers wept silently.
Zhao Dongting said softly: "They are all my great Song martyrs, everyone, you should remember their merits and take them as an example." β
He intends to elevate the status of these fallen soldiers in the court, because their spirit is the soul of the current Southern Song Dynasty.
The conquest of the Great Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, and Dali will break out sooner or later, and Zhao Dongting must carry forward the spirit of Qi Tianwolf and others who dare to throw their heads and spill their blood for the country. Only by forever upholding this spirit in the military can the country prosper forever.
When Yue Peng, Su Quandang, Miao Youli and others rushed to the main hall, they all looked complicated when they saw the urns held by the soldiers.
The original happy expressions on their faces quickly disappeared, and the pride or complacency in their hearts completely dissipated at this moment.
Zhao Dongting sat back on the dragon chariot, and only asked Lu Xiufu, Zhang Shijie and others to prepare to recommend meritocracy, and then asked all the ministers to retreat.
Everything has to be done step by step, he has just rushed back to Haikang, and it is impossible to deal with all the political affairs immediately. The consideration of these reserve officials is an unavoidable step before sending them to various locations. The thousand-mile causeway will still collapse in the anthill, and now the Great Song Dynasty is destined to grow at a very fast speed, but Zhao Dongting does not dare to send anyone to the local government as an official.
He is well aware of the harm of corrupt officials.
It is difficult to fight the country, and it is even more difficult to defend the country. Speaking of which, governing a country is naturally a more nerve-wracking matter than fighting a war.
When the ministers withdrew from the main hall one after another, Zhao Dongting suddenly spoke, "Commander Xiao, you go slowly." β
Xiao Yulin turned around and saluted Zhao Dongting, "Your Majesty ......"
Zhao Dongting turned his head to look at Le Wu next to him, and said softly: "Le Wu girl, this is your fiancΓ©, are you still satisfied?" β
Le Wu's bright eyes widened suddenly, stunned.
