Chapter 769: Chitose
Out of the Forbidden City, Li Zhi beat the honor guard of the county king. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this set of honor guards was sent by the Zongren Mansion.
The Zongren Mansion was responsible for the management of the Zhu Ming clan and the royal family. In fact, Li Zhi is not from the Zhu Ming clan, and his honor guard is logically not under the responsibility of the Zongren Mansion. However, there was no king with a different surname in the Ming Dynasty, and the highest Ministry of Rites only had the ceremonial equipment of the national prince, and there was no county king. So after some haggling, in the end, Li Zhi's honor guard finally fell to the Zongren Mansion.
This set of ceremonial guards is very gorgeous.
"The four-clawed golden dragon flag is eight, divided into left and right, with eight armorers. Beidou Banner 1 and Xuyi are all 3 armorers. Cloth flag 24: door flag, day flag, moon flag, green dragon, white tiger, wind, cloud, thunder, rain, river, river and other flags, bear flag, Luan flag, each flag with two armor, one to hold the flag, one to guard. ”
There are not only gorgeous flag teams, but also curved covers, purple umbrellas, red umbrellas, pheasant fans, Zhu Tuan fans, feather Bao buildings, silk banners, etc., each with three lines. It is followed by a sword, a cane, a standing melon, a lying melon, a ritual knife, a stirrup staff, a halberd, etc., each with three lines. There are also gold chairs, gold pedals, water basins, and red fans in the team. They are all school captains.
The entire honor guard was immense, and there were more than 100 people.
Li Zhi rode on the imperial horse and quickly walked to the outside of the imperial city with the honor guard.
Along the way, they met officials who came out of the Forbidden City, and these officials quickly gave way to both sides of the road, bent down, and let Li Zhi's honor guard go first.
Although the civil officials hated Li Zhi in every way, the rules and etiquette of the Ming Dynasty were there. When encountering a noble at the level of the county king, the civil officials did not dare to trespass abruptly.
Li Zhi walked all the way, and the official sedan chairs in front of him flashed to both sides of the road one by one and came out to salute. Li Zhi met the palanquin of Fan Jingwen, a scholar of Dongge University, on the edge of the imperial city, and the cabinet elder of the Donglin Cabinet did not dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly walked out of the palanquin and made a gesture towards Li Zhi.
Li Zhi glanced at Fan Jingwen a few more times.
This Fan Jingwen is also a pioneer against Li Zhi, and Gong Dingyu is the same way, that is, his moves are more subtle. Sooner or later, Li Zhi will have to clean him up. However, now that the Donglin Party has lost ground in the court, Li Zhi is not in a hurry.
Looking at the unwilling but polite behavior of the civil officials, Li Zhi smiled and said nothing.
This is the status of the king of the county, the so-called extremely human minister, nothing else.
walked out of the imperial city and walked into the city of Beijing, and the people in the city saw Li Zhi's honor guard, and they all crowded to Chang'an Street to see Li Zhi.
Li Zhi is really too famous, a few years ago he destroyed the invincible Tartars, included the three northeastern provinces into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, annexed North Korea last year, and defeated the thieves who ravaged Henan. Originally, the crumbling country of the Ming Dynasty was firmly supported by Li Zhi alone, and he survived from the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, which was originally destroyed, to the twenty-first year of Chongzhen today, and it seems that it is still thriving.
Although the common people do not know the original history, they all know the horror of the Tartar Qing raids and massacres in Gyeonggi, Shanxi, and Shandong, and also know the danger of the thieves who swept through Shaanxi last year. Li Zhi turned things around several times with his own strength, and even let the Ming Dynasty open up his territory, and he was already a great hero of national salvation in the eyes of the people of the capital.
The people in the capital are the most well-informed, and they are clear about the affairs of the court, and they have their own set of public opinion. This set of public opinion is so powerful that even the Donglin Party cannot control it.
For example, at the beginning, Yuan Chonghuan, the general of the Donglin Party, bragged about "five years of Pingliao" while privately making peace with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, ruining Dongjiang Town, causing the Manchu Qing to break through without worry. Later, when Yuan Chonghuan was late, the people of the capital rushed to eat Yuan Chonghuan's human flesh.
It can be seen that the level of knowledge of the people in the capital.
If in the past, when Li Zhi's meritorious service was not large, the gentry could still control public opinion in the capital and block Li Zhi's influence, now Li Zhi has completely defeated the influence of the gentry by relying on his brilliant military exploits in expanding the territory. No matter what the gentry said, the people of the capital supported Li Zhi.
If others rely on their power to force the Son of Heaven to be crowned a king with a different surname, they are chaotic ministers and thieves, and the people in the capital may want to stone this king with a different surname. But Li Zhi is the king with a different surname, it is very different, it is the hope of the four seas that deserves its name.
The heroes who saved the country and the people and opened up the territory have always had a lofty status.
The so-called Wei Huo was nothing more than defeating the Xiongnu to make the grassland people submit, and it did not allow the Han people to gain a foothold in the grassland, so it was praised for more than a thousand years. Li Zhi directly opened up a territory of thousands of miles, allowing the land cultivated and reproduced by the Han people to reach Heishui in the north, Taiwan in the south, and North Korea in the east, how big a hero is this?
This heroic cause is enough for the literati who revise history to brag for a thousand years.
At this time, I heard that Li Zhide was the first king with a different surname in the Ming Dynasty, and came out of the imperial city, and the people in the east of the inner city were empty, and they all crowded to the road to see the honor guard of the king of Tianjin.
As soon as Li Zhi left the imperial city, he saw a crowd of black people crowded on the road.
At the beginning, Li Zhi was afraid that the road would be blocked by the people and he would not be able to walk. But as soon as the honor guard came to the front of the people, the people struggled to give way to the middle road and let Li Zhi pass.
Some of the people were so crowded that they even hid in the surrounding shops and liquor stores. The proprietors of those shops also supported Li Zhi, and none of the shopkeepers quarreled with the people watching the excitement.
Wherever Li Zhi's honor guard went, the people were separated on both sides like a split sea.
Li Zhi walked among such people, felt the support of the people for him, and was thoughtful.
After walking a few hundred meters, Li Zhi bowed to the people around him on his horse.
There were many children of the gentry in the capital, and it was originally a place controlled by the gentry. However, the fact that the people in such a place can know right from wrong and support Li Zhi shows that these people understand what a country and a home are better than the civil officials in the court.
These people in the capital can afford Li Zhi's gift.
When the surrounding people saw this action of the king of Tianjin, their eyes lit up with excitement.
There was silence for a few seconds, and the people around them suddenly knelt down on both sides of the road. At first, there were only a dozen people kneeling, but soon the crowd from all sides was kneeling on the ground. Whether it was an old man with pale hair or a child with a head tied to the horns, they all prostrated on the ground and gave Li Zhi the heaviest salute.
"Chitose Wangye!"
"The prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
"Chitose!"
"Tianjin County King Qianqiantose!"
The people knelt on the ground and kept shouting at Li Zhi for a thousand years, and the shouts became louder and louder, and finally merged into a roar. It is no longer possible to hear the shouts of individual people, only the worship and reverence that come out of that voice.
Even Li Zhi has experienced a hundred battles, and when he sees such a scene, he can't help but be a little shocked.
The guards of honor around Li Zhi were even more excited, and they were honored one by one, holding the flag and guard of honor higher in their hands, and striding on Chang'an Avenue with their heads held high.
