Luoyi

The sky is bright, and the morning sun shines on the ground, as if paved with layers of gold, making Luoyi City much more sacred. :efefd

Li Zhao led the ministers through the streets, and the streets, long before the princes and kings came, had been renovated, as if they had changed into new clothes, looking prosperous and full of vitality.

On the street, the people waiting for Li Zhao to bring are shoulder to shoulder, crowds of people, and the tide is crowded on the street where Li Zhao travels.

Today, the entire Luoyi City, at this moment, seems to have stopped everything, all just to welcome Li Zhao.

In the expectation of everyone, Li Zhao rode his horse forward slowly, and was protected by the palace guards in the middle, but he was still in high spirits when he was middle-aged.

The people stood under the eaves of the street, climbed on the big trees, sat on the eaves, excited, pointed, exchanged ears, looked at the excitement, and talked excitedly.

"Look, the emperor is coming on horseback, and the civil and military officials are here."

"It's so magnificent, the Royal Guards will open the way first"

"Zheng Guo, still the strong Zheng Guo in my heart"

“..”

The king drove out, and the people moved, and the people boiled.

In front of the guard of honor, the leading figure is Su Pei, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, who is responsible for protecting Li Zhao, who is young, handsome, and sassy, and behind him five thousand blue feather iron armor is equipped with the Royal Forest Army to open the way, mighty and imposing.

The iron horse marched neatly, the horse's hooves stepped on the ground, the sound was like thunder, the bluestone paved the ground, the ground trembled slightly, the onlookers on both sides of the road consciously retreated to avoid, and the five thousand royal forest troops vigorously stepped forward, the armor was distinct, and the blade was bright.

Su Pei rode his horse and galloped on the flat streets, the pennant beckoned, the hunting sound, the elite light cavalry of the Royal Forest Army, and the majestic momentum, all showed that this team was fierce and good at fighting.

Soon, when the Imperial Forest Army was crossing the street, Li Zhaolongren also appeared on the street, and suddenly, the crowd was completely boiling, and the onlookers all shouted in unison, shouting long live, and the voices came from all directions, like a tide.

Li Zhao lifted the curtain, was full of spirits, and showed a soft smile at the people, as if he was not like a king who killed decisively.

At this moment, he stepped out of the dragon chariot, turned and stepped on the white horse, showing the grandeur and majesty of the king, and with a warm smile on his face, rode a tall horse, and passed through the people.

As a king, Li Zhao takes history as a mirror, knowing that the king is the boat, the people are the water, and the water can carry the boat and also capsize the boat.

What's more, these enthusiastic people in front of them all have the blood of the Great Zhou in their bones, even if they don't have the blood of the Great Zhou, they are also the descendants of those who were once loyal to the generals of the Great Zhou.

Without the ancestors of these people in front of them, sacrificing their lives and forgetting death, and squandering blood and water on the battlefield, there would be no Zheng Guo today, let alone him Li Zhao.

Therefore, Li Zhao will never be high up in the treatment of the people, usually, he will occasionally go to the people and communicate with them, or, in the Shangyuan and Mid-Autumn Festival, invite dozens of people into the palace, and the monarchs and ministers will have fun with the people.

At this moment, he was about to receive the princes and kings of various countries, and even though time was pressing, Li Zhao still did not forget and despise the people.

He knew that the kings of the vassal states were enemies, and these enthusiastic, honest and honest people in front of him were the biggest reliance on him and Zheng Guo.

He will never do anything to curry favor with the enemy and do things that harm the people of Zheng Guo.

Walking out of the dragon chariot and riding on the White Horse Mountain, although Li Zhao did not speak, his face was kind and approachable, not like the emperor of the mighty Suzong, but more like a peaceful and calm father.

He also ordered all soldiers to slow down and slow down to prevent innocent people from being injured by mistake.

It can be said that looking at the princes and countries, there is no one, no king, who loves the people like a son like Li Zhao.

It is precisely because Li Zhao loves the people like a son, and when he changes the law, the people actively support him, even if he occasionally encounters difficulties and conflicts his interests, there is never a rebellion or uprising.

Similarly, in order to take care of the interests of the people, Zheng Guo did not take strong measures to stir up the law when he changed the law, but chose to make moderate reforms and protect the interests of the people as much as possible.

The honor guard slowed down, and the entire convoy, under the attention of the people, slowly and smoothly drove out of the south gate of Luoyi and headed towards Taimu Mountain.

Taimu Mountain

Located ten miles south of Luoyi, it is not tall or majestic, and it does not seem to have anything abnormal, and it is not as famous as the mountain in the north of Zheng Guo.

However, for 600 years, Taimu Mountain has still become the place of alliance of the northern princes, all because of Emperor Haotian Wu, who has summoned monarchs and ministers here many times, and over time, Taimu Mountain got its name.

The Great Zhou Empire fell apart, the land of Middle-earth fell into strife, and when the first princes formed an alliance, at that time, there were hundreds of large and small princely states in Middle-earth, and their strength was uneven, but they all wanted to arrange the location of the alliance in their respective countries.

At that time, Zheng was not strong, only the land of Luoyi, in order to demonstrate the power of Zheng State, and the remnants of the Great Zhou Empire, Zheng Guo and his ministers actively fought for it, and finally, Zheng Guo persuaded the northern overlord Yan State to set up the location of the alliance in Taimu Mountain.

Of course, because of the strong requirements of the Yan State, the vassal states did not dare to disobey, and the Yan State thus established its hegemony for three hundred years.

Yan Zheng is strong, the alliance is set in Taimu Mountain, and set the rules, every five years the princes of various countries will meet in Taimu Mountain, for hundreds of years, the wind and clouds are surging, the vassal states are constantly merging, the former northern overlord Yan State, the rivers are declining, but the alliance land, the rules of the alliance have not been changed.

At that time, Yan chose Taimu Mountain, not only because Taimu Mountain is located in the Central Plains, but also because Luoyi is the imperial capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the rise of the Yan Kingdom is a barren land in the north.

For half a day, Zheng Guo's honor guard escorted Li Zhao to Taimu Mountain, as the host, Li Zhao's arrival meant that the alliance had officially begun, and the kings of the countries who had prepared before, at this moment, were also preparing in the line, and were about to enter the hall and worship heaven and earth.

Li Zhao dismounted, walked through the armored Imperial Forest Army Road with his head held high, the ministers on both wings knelt down, and the blue feather ironclad cavalry was full of spirit and mighty, all of them were heroic and high-spirited warriors.

Li Zhao, who was deeply affected by "Wuwei", couldn't help but praise it, capable, calm, and took the lead in walking towards the insider.

At this time, most of the ministers who accompanied Li Zhao could only stay outside the line, and only Su Qin and Han Qi followed Li Zhao into the line.

Su Qin, as Li Zhao's confidant and lieutenant Zheng Guo, presided over the law change, making Zheng Guo gradually stronger and more famous. Han Qi, all because he is from Zheng Guo Han, has a lofty status, which cannot be underestimated, and Han is in charge of Zheng Guo's economy, without Han's support, Zheng Guo will not develop steadily.

Li Zhao entered Zheng Guo Xingyuan under the support of Su Qin and Han Qi, because he was the host, Zheng Guo Xingyuan was in the middle of Taimu Mountain, the princes were in the middle of the country, and the stars were distributed next to it.

Walking away, Li Zhao did not enter the big tent, looked around at the big tents of the princes on all sides, and said sharply: "Beat the drums, summon the princes and kings"

According to the process, when Li Zhao came to Xingyuan, he would immediately meet with the princes and kings, and then hold a ceremony to worship the heavens and worship the gods, and then, the alliance would begin.

And this meeting with the process of the princes and kings, very rules, will be according to the distance between relatives, the strength of the vassal states ranked, usually, most of the big countries in front, small countries in the back, allies in front, belligerents after the war.

The sound of drums shook the sky, and the kings who were well prepared in the vassal states had been looking forward to it for a long time.

This year is different from previous years, the strength of the vassal states in previous years is clear, the overlord has long been established, and there is no need to guess. This year, the northern overlord Zhao was divided, and the Song State took advantage of the situation to rise, and these two countries had a major war with Zheng last year, causing hundreds of thousands of casualties in Zheng State's army, and the Iron Cavalry Army, which had been building for several years, was basically destroyed in World War I.

The princes and kings of the vassal states speculated that Zheng Guo and Zhao Song were at odds, and both Zhao and Song had the strength to compete for hegemony, and it was not clear who Zheng Guo invited first.

In anticipation of everyone, Su Qin, who was beside Li Zhao, took out the edict, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Welcome Emperor Liang, Liu Wenlong, please sit high on the upper left"

The princes and kings were stunned, Liang Guo, Liu Wenlong, Zheng Guo's only ally, but right, Zheng Liang changed the law at the same time, Zheng Guo rose, Liang State has not moved for more than ten years, no matter military strength, prestige, or influence, it is inferior to Zhao and Song.

At this moment, Li Zhao took the lead in meeting Liu Wenlong, does it mean that Zheng Guo supports Liang Guo and becomes the new overlord of the north.

Next to Song Guoxing, Lin Shuying looked at Liu Wenlong's high-spirited, but restrained and calm appearance, and said to Jian Ye beside him: "Li Zhao, sure enough, the grievances are clear, and the people of Zheng Guo are at a loss, and they pretend to be tolerant and open on the surface, but in fact, they still hate Song Guo in their bones. ”

"Empress, don't be angry, Zheng Guoren claims to be a descendant of Emperor Haotianwu, the stubbornness and stubbornness in their bones, for hundreds of years, there has not been any change at all, besides, even in the era of Emperor Haotian Wu, the Song State is still the largest country in the East, and it has never surrendered, therefore, any country in the north can be the leader of the alliance, and Zheng Guo will also surrender, only the Song State, the people of Zheng Guojun and the people will never surrender to the countries that have not been conquered in the past, speaking of which, it may be a kind of pathology."

"Hehe, I'm not rare, there will always be a time when Zheng Guo's wish is convinced, if he doesn't accept it, I will step him into the dirt, so that Zheng Guo will never be able to turn over." Lin Shuying said softly, but it made people listen to it and be afraid.

Northern Zhao Xingyuan, the young king Zhao Ke, heard that Li Zhao met Liu Wenlong first, his fists were slightly retracted, and the soles of his feet stepped on the ground fiercely, this bastard, no one in his eyes, the strength of Northern Zhao, Mo is still inferior to Liang Guo.

In his subconscious, he can accept the powerful Song State in the East, but he can't accept the hegemony of the Liang State, Liu Wenlong is an old horseman, who has been trampled under the feet of the Zhao State for many years.

What's more, the Liang State is eyeing the Southern Zhao, and once the hegemony is established, it will definitely send troops to annex the Southern Zhao non-stop, and then threaten the Northern Zhao and secure the northern hegemony.
