"Your Majesty, please." Yuan Dashe and Li Ping were already waiting outside the hall.

Yuan Dashe is an old man in the era of Chen Ji, although he is already old, but he also seems to have a bit of Chen Ji's momentum, if he doesn't have a beard on his face, I'm afraid no one can see that this is a eunuch who should bow his head and bow his waist and do his best to flatter. At the same time, Lechang and Ning Yuan, the younger generation of the Southern Chen royal family, were almost all brought up by Yuan Dashe, so after Lechang entered the harem, he re-promoted this old eunuch who was not loved by Chen Shubao because of some rigidity, and asked him to preside over the harem affairs with Zhang Lihua.

It is said that Chen Shubao's hatred of Yuan Dashe at the beginning also had something to do with Zhang Lihua's pillow wind, so now letting the two of them work together also has a bit of checks and balances.

Of course, Lechang's meaning is obviously more to let Yuan Dashe supervise Zhang Lihua.

Li Xinchen strode out, and the guards waiting outside also bowed their hands together: "See Your Majesty!" ”

According to Li Xinchen's arrangement, the guards led by Li Ping were responsible for the guards of the outer court, and they were escorted by the guards from the palace to the Temple of Heaven today.

"The hundred officials have arrived?" Li Xinchen looked at Yuan Dashe.

He didn't feel so disgusted with this old eunuch who never seemed to have a smile on his face, but it was those eunuchs who kept having a fake smile on his face that made Li Xinchen always feel cold in his back. Yuan Dashe arched his hand: "I am already waiting under the Temple of Heaven, please rest assured Your Majesty." ”

Li Xinchen took a deep breath and tilted his head slightly, Lechang had also changed into a phoenix robe and walked out. And the soldiers chanted again:

"See the Queen!"

Yuan Dashe also bowed, but a rare smile appeared on the old man's face.

"Let's go." Li Xinchen said in a low voice.

Lechang put his hands on his sleeves and walked slowly behind Li Xinchen.

The emperor's chariot was ready, and Li Ping Huoran got up: "Guards and pro-army, get on the horse!" ”

After years of tossing and turning, this kid has grown a lot taller, and he is no longer as thin as a monkey when Li Xinchen first saw him, and the traces of wind and frost knife carvings that do not belong to this age appear on his face, which already shows that he is a qualified warrior.

The guards turned over and got on their horses, and all the guards and soldiers today were also dressed up, with a tall horse transported from the northwest, dressed in silver armor, a white pear and wood spear in his hand, and the red tassels fluttering on the head of the spear, and the two cavalrymen who took the lead unfurled the flag, one was "Han" and the other was "Li", which were lined up on both sides.

Li Ping personally held up a larger circle of red golden dragon flags and walked in the front.

The drums on the Da Sima Gate started at a glance, representing the emperor and the queen to set off.

And outside the palace gate, the feather forest riders are also lined up on both sides,

Compared with the main red guard army, the Yulin riders are as their name suggests, mainly white, white robes, white horses with clear water, and white feathers inserted in their helmets, it seems that they are the big Han Yulin that crossed over hundreds of years ago, and it seems that they are the white-robed light horses that once crisscrossed the north of the river and were invincible.

The number of Yulin cavalry is not large, after all, the inner guard of the capital today still has to rely on them, so only two hundred cavalry are drawn out to open the way in front, but this momentum is already full, not to mention the guards behind them who are really singing the leading role.

Jiankang Mansion is already an empty alley, and the originally wide heavenly street is crowded with people, and the people are not scrambling, but standing on tiptoe one by one to look ahead. The generals in charge of maintaining order also ordered the soldiers to put up their spears that were originally blocking people horizontally.

There is never a shortage of excitement at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but this enthronement ceremony is not common after all. A few months ago, Chen Shubao certainly came once, but that time the battle clouds were thick, and the ceremony was actually very hasty, and at that time, Hu Benlang and Yu Lin Lang, who opened the way in front, could not compare to today's Yu Lin Cavalry and the guards and pro-army.

The soldiers who looked straight ahead on the horses were all the rest of their lives, just walking forward with their heads held high and with an awe-inspiring murderous aura.

The new dynasty and the new atmosphere, some old people who have experienced the change of dynasty nearly 30 years ago can't help but sigh in their hearts.

I just don't know if this new dynasty will be a flash in the pan, or will it really be able to bring peace to people who have been struggling in troubled times and wars for three hundred years?

"It is said that in the heyday of the Southern Dynasty, the number of people in Taicheng could reach one million?" Li Xinchen sat on the car and looked at the big Sima Gate that had appeared, while the people on both sides of the road were prostrate on the ground at the same time, shouting long live.

Lechang, who was sitting next to him, said in a low voice: "That's right, Jiankang Mansion is known as the largest city in the world, of course, it is not boasting. It's a pity that there was a rebellion in Houjing, and Jiangnan was deeply injured. ”

Li Xinchen bowed slightly, but did not say much, by the time of the heyday of the Southern Dynasties of Liu Song and Southern Liang, the population of the Southern Dynasties was nearly 10 million, but now the population recorded in the household registration of Nanchen is only two million, plus those who do not have a household registration and people in the mountains and wilderness, that is, five or six million - this is very common in ancient times when counting household registration, because the government only counts people with acres of land or fixed residence, and many slaves, merchants, craftsmen, etc. are actually not in the scope of statistics. But from this population cliff, we can also see the impact of Hou Jing's rebellion on Jiangnan.

And the rest of the places under Li Xinchen's command, Bashu, Northwest and Jingzhou and other places are also because of the war for many years, the population is not much, according to the general statistics given by Luo Ya, who will preside over the household department in the future, the population under Li Xinchen's command is seven or eight million, but with the intensification of the war in the north in recent years, many northerners have gone south, so the population should be stable to about nine million.

But what about the Northern Dynasties······ Even after a series of wars, the population of the Northern Dynasties should be twice that of the south now, of course, this is the data when the Northern Wei Dynasty was not yet divided, and when the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi were separated, the two sides went back and forth, and Luoyang and other densely populated areas in the Central Plains have become empty cities, so the population may be less, but it should also be fifteen million.

This is the strength gap of Chiguoguo.

However, Li Xinchen has no choice but to continue to stir up contradictions in the north, but with Li Xinchen's ascension to the throne as emperor, it has become a fact that he seized the south, not to mention, the two forces of the Northern Zhou Dynasty division should have realized their situation, and it is conceivable that they should not rashly launch a war next.

Just in case, Li Xinchen has asked Yang Su and Li Yuan to go to Tianshui and then go south to Hanzhong, before using the trade channel with Shu Han, Yang Su has transferred most of the people of the two major families to the northwest, Yang Jian turned a blind eye to this, this is as cunning and ambitious as Cao Mengde, of course, he knows that it is better to drive them away than to keep these two families in Chang'an City as unknown variables.

Although it is a pity to abandon this chicken rib, it is better than eating it tasteless and taking up the stomach.

Chapter 163

According to Li Xinchen's arrangement, Yang Su and Li Yuan will go south to Jiankang Mansion, after all, the newly formed imperial court cannot do without talents like Yang Su, and Li Yuan ······ Li Xinchen plans to put this guy under his nose, otherwise he is really not at ease.

The road ahead is even more difficult······
