Chapter 69 Hundred officials kneel to welcome the Martial King
"Report, the king is not far from Xiqi City, and he can already faintly see the walls of Xiqi."
"Okay, the Lone King knows."
Ji Fa walked back the road proudly, looking at the many carriages behind him, loaded with many tributes pulled by the Qiang Kingdom, and then looking at the people around him who had all been replaced by his own personal soldiers.
"King Zhou's escort has arrived at the border, we have completed our mission, and now it's time to return to the Qiang Kingdom to restore the king's order." The soldiers of the Qiang State who escorted the clan said to the king of Zhou.
"After working hard for you all this way, King Gu has sent someone to replenish your grain, grass and water, and there is no problem in returning to the Qiang country along the way."
"Thank you, King Zhou."
"The lone king received a letter from the country, witnessing the friendship between our two countries, the bronze tripod has begun to be cast, one country and one tripod of the Qiang country, once the casting is completed, we will send a messenger to your country, please help the lone king go back and convey it to the lord of the Qiang country."
"It's the king, we'll talk about it."
Ji Fa only felt that he needed to send something at this time, and after thinking about it, he handed over one of the jade pendants he carried with him to the escort soldiers of the Qiang Kingdom.
"This is the beautiful jade worn by the Lone King for many years, please send it to the lord of your country on my behalf to express the Lone King's respect for the lord of the Qiang clan."
"We will live up to our mission."
So all the escort soldiers of the Qiang Kingdom returned, and King Jifa of Zhou saluted them with attention, and watched this group of escorted soldiers leave.
"Let's go, go back to our Great Zhou Kingdom."
Ji Fa smiled and turned his horse's head, and then continued towards Xiqi City.
The soldiers were all smiling, and they finally returned to their homeland after a trip abroad, but some of them were... I will never see my relatives back home. But fortunately, it was not their group, and the soldiers all looked at King Zhou's figure carefully with great respect.
"With the king, we won't let the people of the Qiang country live such a miserable life. We need to protect the king. β
So the soldiers tightened their weapons, increased their pace, and then surrounded the king of Zhou and walked towards Xiqi City.
The more Ji Fa looked, the more he felt like it, and when he got closer, he saw that Taigong was looking on the left and King Zhou was on the right. Behind him were all hundreds of officials and ministers, bowing behind and waiting for Ji Fa's return.
"Oh my God, what are you doing here, how can you go out of the city for more than ten miles to greet each other? Did something big happen? β
In Ji Fa's concept, the civil and military officials greeted each other for more than ten miles out of the city, and major events had happened in the country, and he saw that Taigong and Zhou Gong were also in the crowd, and immediately accelerated the speed of the horses.
"The whole team quickly converged with the civil and military officials."
So the carriage ran, and the soldiers who pulled the carriage also increased the speed of their whipping.
Soon Ji Fa led this team of people and joined the civil and military officials.
At the ceremony of returning to the king, Ji Fa thought that it would be okay to say a few words, but what he didn't expect was that all the things prepared for the ceremony had been prepared by Taigongwang.
"When the king returns, hundreds of officials kneel to greet him." Taigongwang stood and presided over the ceremony.
So Taigongwang and hundreds of officials knelt down in front of Ji Fa, and then everyone kowtowed a few times.
"I'm going to be so grand, I thought it would be over soon, I wasn't prepared, I still need to say a few words to see this." Ji Fa thought to himself.
Then Taigongwang knelt down in three steps, kowtowed in five steps, took the political token belonging to King Zhou, and slowly came to Ji Fa and knelt down, and then returned the token with both hands.
Ji Fa then picked up the token and raised it above his head, and the hundred officials, Taigong, and Zhou Gong all knelt down and shouted: "Welcome the king back to power." β
"Wechen has not dishonored the king's order these days, and has handled forty-three state affairs for you, all the books are placed on your desk, and if the king has other royal orders, he can overturn them at any time, and Wechen has considered it word by word for a long time, hoping that Wechen's foolishness has not affected the king's virtue."
"Hey, it's too humble, King Gu believes that you handle it in an orderly manner, and if you don't get in the way, everything will be okay after King Gu goes back and sees it." Ji Fa thought in his heart, he just wanted to speak, but after thinking about it, if it is not appropriate, there will be no defeat in this way, and he almost forgot about this stubble.
"Oh, Taigong looked at what you said, if the lonely king doesn't believe you, he will still hand over the state affairs to you, don't look at it, just deal with it according to what you say." Ji Fa said.
[Delegating power to important ministers and defeating the country +1]
"The master can, in such a short period of time, the value of defeat has increased again." Lan Ling's voice remembered in Ji Fa's mind.
"Okuya, I'm serious about earning and losing the country." Ji Fa was very happy in his heart.
"Oh, the old minister is scared, the old minister is afraid." Taigongwang shuddered for a while, and quickly knelt down again.
Ji Fa said a lot of bad things, and persuaded Taigong to look at it for a long time, saying that the lonely king didn't mean that, he misunderstood and misunderstood you, and finally passed this matter, but the final result was that Ji Fa had to deal with state affairs again after he went back, take a look at those books, and then Taigong Wang went over in person and listened to the king's reprimand.
"I'm going to follow the meaning of Taigongwang, I need to go back and deal with the state affairs again, so this... What's the point of finding a deputy minister? Just act as a faΓ§ade? Tut-tut, but think about it, that's not what I said, after all, it's a national event, and I can't handle it correctly anyway, anyway, my royal decree won't be consumed because of this. β
"Hehehehe, whatever, anyway, the defeated country value is earned, so you won't be afraid, you will get it if you get it, and the defeated country value will not be taken back anyway, hahaha, I'm so happy. It's very cool. β
"King, if you don't come back, I'll send troops to welcome you back, oh the ministers haven't seen you for a few days, and all your hard work is a little haggard." Taigong looked at King Zhou distressedly.
"Hahaha, I think Taigong has eaten fat, and his face has been round recently." Ji Fa said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, you've made fun of the minister." Taigongwang said embarrassedly.
"No, no, I prove that Taigong has indeed eaten fat recently."
When the civil and military officials heard this, they burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, what Taigong said is right, the people are looking forward to our return, let's go, let's take a high attitude, take a look at our people, whether they have lost weight." Ji Fa said.
The civil and military officials all laughed, although they didn't understand some of the words, and they didn't hear them clearly, but they all understood that Ji Fa was saying something to make the ministers happy, so they all smiled, and the ministers walked with laughter among themselves.
"Let's go back to the Hall of Virtue." Ji Fa was full of pride and entered Xiqi City with hundreds of officials and a convoy.
