Chapter 830: Emperor Taishang
Xi'an, with its neat and flat cement streets, is no longer dirty and messy as before. The founding ceremony has been completed, and Mao Wenlong's son successfully ascended the throne and became the emperor.
Today is the moment of Mao Wenlong's return, and the twelve-year-old Mao Jingwen personally led hundreds of civil and military officials to wait outside the east gate of Xi'an early.
Above the dragon, Mao Jingwen, who is only twelve years old, has begun to grow, and he should still be a naughty child, but he has lost his innocence.
Next to him is Hong Chengchou, the prime minister, Hong Chengchou is very satisfied with Mao Jingwen, who has no innocence in front of him. Mao Jingwen was taught by him, and most of today's government affairs are taken care of by him.
Mao Wenlong doesn't want to be a loner, and he has no interest in being an emperor, so he doesn't even want to take care of the government. In this way, he was free, but he hurt his son, so that his son, who was so young, suffered what he should not bear at his age.
In the distance, the sound of horses' hooves was faintly heard, and the long-awaited greeting army suddenly lifted their spirits, and one by one they stretched their necks and looked up.
On the spacious, flat cement pipes, there is no longer the dust of the past, Mao Wenlong took the lead, wearing battle armor, majestic.
Mao Wenlong Jingwen gradually saw Mao Wenlong's appearance, and he could no longer maintain the stability he had just now. The little body stretched slightly, and he couldn't wait to jump off the dragon drive, waiting for his father to arrive with anticipation.
Hong Chengchou followed, and he was a little dissatisfied with Mao Jingwen's impatient performance. But also did not say much considering the child's attachment to his father.
Mao Wenlong went to Guangdong, came and went, and before he knew it, most of the year passed. He remembered that when he first left, the little one was a naughty child, and his sister used to make the whole mansion go up.
And now the son standing in front of him, wearing a well-fitting dragon robe, a much taller body, and his little face without innocence, all make people feel that he has matured and stabilized.
Mao Wenlong showed a smile on his face, turned over and dismounted, Mao Jingwen was a little excited, and personally stepped forward to lead the horse rope for his father.
Looking at his well-behaved son, Mao Wenlong was a little unaccustomed, but he was quite relieved. Hong Chengchou's education seems to be quite effective, and it is rare to be able to teach a leather child like this in a short period of time.
Thinking of this, Mao Wenlong looked up at Hong Chengchou and nodded to him with a smile. Hong Chengchou didn't dare to slack off, returned the salute, and then invited Mao Wenlong into the city.
Mao Wenlong bent down slightly, stretched out his hand and wanted to pick up his son, but he shrank back halfway. At this time, he remembered that the current Mao Jingwen was not the previous Mao Jingwen, in front of everyone, his son was already the emperor, so naturally he could no longer be as casual as before.
was very helpless, Mao Wenlong had to give up, Hong Chengchou was very satisfied when he saw it, and praised Mao Wenlong even more.
Only the emperor can sit on the dragon drive, and Mao Wenlong can't be contaminated even if he is the emperor, so he and Hong Chengchou can sit in another carriage.
On the way back to the palace, Mao Wenlong also took the opportunity to ask Hong Chengchou about the changes in Xi'an. According to Hong Chengchou's description, the north has recovered very well. The only regret is that the population is still scarce, and there are still large tracts of fertile land that are being wasted.
And commercial trade has not improved, because the south is still in the midst of war, the north and the south are not connected, which leads to the unimpeded commercial trade, greatly inhibiting the development of commerce.
Hearing Hong Chengchou mention business, Mao Wenlong remembered the Ouyang family who came with him. He laughed and said, "Sir, don't worry, there are people who can be of great use in this commercial trade matter." ”
Hong Chengchou looked at Mao Wenlong in surprise: "Emperor Taishang, are there any available talents?" ”
Mao Wenlong frowned, feeling very uncomfortable. Unconsciously, he has become the emperor, and it is understandable that he has become the emperor, but this title sounds awkward, and he is much older.
I am in the prime of life, and I have not yet reached the age of thirty, but I am already called so. Mao Wenlong hesitated for a moment, feeling the need to correct it.
"Sir, this title of the emperor will be waived in the future, and you can still call me the chief soldier." Mao Wenlong's face was full of seriousness.
"This is unreasonable, if you still call the chief soldier like this, then where will the court system be?" Hong Chengchou was very surprised, but after reacting, he was very angry.
"The emperor is exempt, and other titles are arbitrary. Also, someone from the Ouyang family will deliver a message to you tomorrow. This Ouyang family is a business family, and I specially invited it, so you can leave the business and trade affairs to them. If they have any needs, try to meet them without any scruples. ”
Mao Wenlong did not back down, and after explaining to Hong Chengchou, he immediately changed the topic.
Hong Chengchou was very unhappy when he heard this, but he couldn't disobey Mao Wenlong's order, he could only obey.
The carriage was quiet, Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou stopped talking, and came to the imperial city without a sound. In the main square in the imperial city, Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan led a large number of palace maids and eunuchs to wait.
Seeing the mighty procession, the second girl had a smile on her face and quickly leaned on the carriage that slowly stopped.
Xiao Biesheng was newly married, Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan were full of joy and greeted Mao Wenlong. In front of everyone, Mao Wenlong was not embarrassed, and walked directly to the hall with his children in his arms.
The main character of the little emperor has become a person who has been left out in the cold at the moment. He saw that his sister was already following his father's ass and departing happily.
And looking at himself, he can only try to restrain his emotions so as not to lose his temper in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs. Detrimental to Longwei!
In the Taiji Palace, a banquet had already been prepared, and the little emperor specially made another one next to his dragon chair, so that Mao Wenlong could sit on it to show respect.
Mao Wenlong is not polite, although he is not the emperor, but now the military power is in his hands. And Mao Jingwen, the emperor, is now at most a symbol.
Everyone sat down in the main hall, Mao Wenlong hurriedly glanced at it, and then announced the start of the banquet. The atmosphere in the Taiji Hall was immediately lively, and the civil and military officials raised their glasses and drank freely, a peaceful and prosperous appearance.
Only Hong Chengchou, the old man, was still restless, just in the carriage, Mao Wenlong refused the title of Emperor Taishang, and he was still angry. At this moment, he had already pulled a few colleagues, muttering in private, discussing the reformulation of a reasonable name for Mao Wenlong.
Mao Wenlong didn't have the heart to care about these things, he only cared about accompanying his family at the moment. The family sat around the table, talked and laughed, and enjoyed themselves.
