The boat arrived at the north gate, where the wharf was made of bluestone, and the river was five meters away from the riverbank, and Zhao Dezhao stood on the third floor, which was only on the same level as the riverbank.

Standing at this angle and looking at the city tower dozens of meters high, I feel that Xiangyang City is extremely tall.

The pier has a wooden boardwalk, and there are also wooden stairs to go ashore, but there are no bluestone stairs.

In the event of a war, it is only necessary to burn or remove the wooden plank road, wooden staircase, the boat just crosses the river, and a defensive line is established on the shore, and the enemy cannot go ashore.

There were already quite a few people gathered on the shore, most of them were dressed in silk and satin, and they were brightly dressed.

Some of the people who professed their identities bowed down for a long time, and many more people knelt down on their knees.

They shouted in a mixed manner: "Greetings to the prince......" and "Greetings to the ...... left behind".

As Cai Lingxing raised his arms, a neat drum sounded on the shore, which was a welcome guard of honor.

As the drums sounded, the voices of the people on the shore also became neat. "Greetings to the prince."

Zhao Dezhao saw the handsome Wang Chengyan with a team of Jinyi guards maintaining order, and knew that it should be Jinyi guards who took over the guard.

They had endured a lot of hardships this time, and they set out on 5 February, dressed lightly, each carrying only one day's dry rations and a knife, and galloping on two legs.

They walked in a straight line with two legs open, and the government was responsible for providing supplies along the way, and the whole journey of more than 700 miles, they only took five and a half days.

Therefore, although they only relied on two legs, they arrived a day and a half earlier than Zhao Dezhao and them.

Now it seems that they still have not recovered, and everyone looks haggard and sloppy.

But this long-distance run also exercised them well, and each of them had a little more precipitation in their temperament.

To be honest, in this era, only their group of second ancestors, who have not lacked nutrition since childhood, can withstand such an attack.

If you change ordinary people, you will be physically weak, and you will not be able to bear such strength at all.

Zhao Dezhao waved his hand to everyone, then turned around and walked towards the stairs. "Change your clothes and get off board."

In a room on the second floor, he changed into a red robe, surrounded by auspicious clouds, which was extremely exquisite.

The round-necked, wide-sleeved robe was circumferentially waisted with a jade belt, paired with long boots, and wore a crown of heaven on his head.

The crown of the sky, also known as the cirrus crown, is like a row of feather fans, lined up, but bent up at the tip, like clouds on a painting.

After the middle and late Tang Dynasty, Hanfu strengthened the traditional aesthetic concept of China and began to be retro.

Although the regular clothes are mainly concise, the official clothes have gradually returned to the style of the Qin and Han dynasties with wide clothes and large sleeves, flowing like a fairy.

The style of clothing is getting wider and wider, the pursuit of softness and naturalness, formless and desireless.

Moreover, the style of public clothing is very obviously divided into grades, the regulations are distinct, and the different identities can be seen through the clothes.

Everyone was still waiting in the cabin, waiting for Zhao Dezhao to come out, and bowed down one after another. "Please stay ashore."

Headed by Zhao Dezhao, all the officials arranged the order of going ashore according to their ranks, and in the roaring drums, Zhao Dezhao climbed a staircase more than three meters wide.

When his feet stood on the ground, this time, except for the brocade guard, all the officials and people knelt down. "Greetings to the prince."

In the eyes of the people, the identity of the prince is far more noble than the identity left behind.

Although Xiangyang is a big mansion, there are very few royal bloodlines here, and many officials and people are also the first time to see members of the royal family.

And Zhao Dezhao did not disappoint them, although he was only fifteen years old, he was tall and strong, a head taller than most people.

His appearance is not very handsome, but he is heroic and imposing.

The officials and the people all bowed and bowed, and then got up, and thousands of people's representatives, one by one, were extremely excited, and many old people couldn't help crying.

Zhao Dezhao nodded to Liu Xiao, and he immediately shouted: "When the prince Dezhao first arrived in Xiangyang, he will uphold justice for the people of Xiangyang and uphold justice and integrity. ”

The attendants who were arranged by him in a row became microphones, shouting one by one and passing on the news.

After everyone calmed down and heard this sentence, Liu Xiao said again: "Three days later, the prince will hold a banquet in the Jiedu Embassy to entertain the elders of Xiangyang. ”

This sentence continued to be passed on, and Liu Xiao said: "At that time, the prince will promulgate the letter of Xiangyang in Zhaomingtai to show mercy to the people......"

The people of Xiangyang immediately knelt down again. "Prince Xie......"

Grace orders are not uncommon, since the Han Dynasty, the feudal kings to the local area, will first give grace, and then loot.

Especially in the Tang Dynasty, when the princes arrived at the fiefdoms, they were always used to winning over the people.

If you don't win over, no people will be willing to help you when you are fighting.

When Zhao Dezhao arrived in Xiangyang, he wanted to win the hearts of the people, and the necessary grace was also indispensable.

Let the people taste the benefits, and in the future, with him with one heart, this Xiangyang will become his nest and base.

Originally, for this arrival, the Terracotta Division prepared a white horse, but this horse is not suitable for water and soil, and now it cannot be ridden.

Tong Liang and the others hurriedly changed to a red horse and led it to Zhao Dezhao.

Zhao Dezhao turned over and got on the horse, standing out in the crowd of black pressure.

Xiangyang Assassin Cai Lingxing personally led the horse for Zhao Dezhao and entered the north gate of Xiangyang.

In later generations, Xiangyang North Street was the most prosperous place and one of the famous antique commercial streets in the country.

However, in this era, it was a forbidden place for the people.

The north gate has always been the main gate of Xiangyang, there is no urn city here, but two barracks are stationed, and then to the south, it is the residence of the dignitaries.

But today, there are people in Xiangyang on both sides of the street, and even the eldest girl and little daughter-in-law, who are rarely able to go out on weekdays, are all accompanied by their families to welcome the prince today.

Everyone walked, only Zhao Dezhao rode a tall horse, dressed in red and with a red horse, which was particularly conspicuous.

Cai Lingxing led the horse all the way to the south, marching about 800 meters, and in the center of the intersection in front of him was the majestic Zhaoming Terrace.

In an era when almost all houses were no more than 10 meters, Zhaoming Terrace, which is more than 30 meters high, is exceptionally tall.

Zhao Dezhao saw Zhaomingtai in later generations, but it was the Zhaomingtai that was rebuilt later, because it was located at an intersection to obstruct traffic, and the Zhaomingtai in later generations was moved 200 meters to the north.

The current Zhaomingtai is the central point of the entire inner city of Xiangyang.

There is a square between Zhaomingtai and the south gate of the Jiedu Embassy, and thousands of people gathered on the square at the entrance of the Jiedu Embassy's Mansion with the newly repaired lintel.

When many people saw Zhao Dezhao, they wept excitedly and took the initiative to bow down.

Zhao Dezhao stiffened his face, did not smile, but he was not serious, and kept waving to the people.

In the era of imperial power, the members of the royal family were the heavens of the people.

Regardless of equality or inequality, what the people need is a strong royal family that can protect them.

Turning over and dismounting, Zhao Dezhao saw that the guards of the Jiedu Embassy were the attendants and brocade guards he was familiar with, and he didn't have the slightest worry.

Standing on the steps at the entrance of the Jiedu Embassy, Zhao Dezhao waved to the people repeatedly, and then joined hands with Cai Lingxing to enter the Jiedu Embassy.

Soon, the court officials who came with Zhao Dezhao, the original officials of Xiangyang, and the representatives of the local big families in Xiangyang entered the front yard of the Jiedu Embassy Mansion in an orderly manner according to their positions, waiting for Zhao Dezhao's summons.

The order of summoning had already been clearly arranged by Liu Xiao, first the Xiangyang officials, then the local families, and finally the entourage.

Everyone knows exactly where they are, according to the ranks, waiting in the yard.

The main hall of the Jiedu Embassy is built on the steps of the five-story pedestal, and there are 20 seats in the hall that combine the arhat bed and the Han couch, two rows on one side and five seats in a row, arranged in turn.

Zhao Dezhao took the lead, sat on the wide Arhat bed at the top, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. "Officials, please take your seats."

Liu Xiao and the four attendants surrounded him and shouted, "All the ministers are seated......"

On the left is the accompanying court officials, led by Wang Pu, Lu Duoxun and other ten people sat down in turn.

On the right, Cai Lingxing was the leader, and ten high-ranking local officials from Xiangyang were also seated in turn.

At this time, the sky has gradually darkened, but today there are lanterns everywhere, lanterns, candles, and lights are lit like money.

After everyone sat down, Zhao Dezhao put down the tea bowl and said: "I arrived in Xiangyang at the beginning of today, and I don't know much about all walks of life in Xiangyang, so I won't talk about official business today to get acquainted with Xiangyang ......."

Liu Xiao reminded in a low voice beside him: "Second brother, now it's not Xiangyang, it's Hanjing......"

Zhao Dezhao smiled dumbly, and said loudly: "Indeed, now Xiangyang is already one of the three capitals of Hanjing, and from now on, Xiangyang will become one of the most important capitals of my Great Song Dynasty." ”

The next officials also smiled and congratulated each other.

It can be said that Xiangyang has become Hanjing, and now these people are vested interests.

Zhao Dezhao said: "Hanjing was first established, and now there are more complicated affairs than in the past, and the development of Hanjing in the future will require the joint efforts of all ministers." ”

The ministers arched their hands and said, "The ministers should do their best." ”

"I don't talk about official business today, I mainly want to get acquainted with all walks of life in Hanjing, Liu Diantou, can you prepare wine and food?"

Liu Xiaoying said: "It has been prepared, today is the second brother from all walks of life in Hanjing, and three hundred tables of banquets have been prepared in front of the Assassin's Mansion." ”

He arched his hand to Cai Lingxing, and Cai Lingxing answered: "Xiangyang Mansion is promoted to Hanjing Mansion, and the people of Hanjing can't help but be overjoyed. The prince is the blood of the Son of Heaven, and now His Majesty is in Hanjing, and the Hanjing Mansion is honored, and I hope that the prince can rejoice with the people. ”

"It's ...... nature"

Zhao Dezhao didn't move, picked up the tea bowl and took another sip. "Liu Diantou, you have been in Hanjing for several months, is there any disharmony?"

Liu Xiaodao: "Cai Tingshi has worked hard and made great achievements, and he has arranged the imperial court instructions properly. Nowadays, service personnel from all walks of life, officials from top to bottom, and ordinary people, each performing their duties, there is no disharmony, and they are all looking forward to the arrival of the prince. ”

Zhao Dezhao knows very well that now that Xiangyang Mansion has been promoted to Hanjing Mansion, almost everyone can get benefits, the officials have been promoted, and although the people are hard, they can enjoy the benefits in the future.

So at this time, even if there is a contradiction, it will not erupt.

However, now that he is here, some things have to be formed and spread, and it is almost impossible to be harmonious in the future.

"It's getting late, summon all of you to see you......"
