Chapter 212: Returning Home

On the banks of the Luoshui River, the sages and sages gathered at least Changxian, all the officials of a state and a government came, and the officials above the nearby county orders also gathered in Luoyang.

Since the Anshi Rebellion, the Central Plains civilization has moved from west to east, and Luoyang, the ancient capital, has never had such glory. Even, few emperors have ever visited here.

The spring cold is steep, and Lu Weiqi, whose face is red from the cold under the cotton clothes, looks even more childish. But this old man is in good spirits, and he is not old-hearted, insisting on the cold wind, waiting to be welcomed. The old man was emotional, and he was promoting his hometown Luoyang with his friend protΓ©gΓ© behind him.

"At the beginning, Dayu ruled the water, Dingding Kyushu, we are Yuzhou. It is in the middle of the world, called the Central Plains. Taoism originated here, Confucianism flourished here, Buddhism was first transmitted here, and science is still great here. ”

That pride is eager to pick up the huge Luoyang and blow it, lift it up and blow it. The children behind him all echoed the voice, but they were actually numb from the cold. His little grandson snorted, and when he was pampered, he asked, "Grandpa, can I go home, it's so cold here." ”

Lu Weiqi, who has always regarded his grandson as the meat of his heart, glared at him fiercely and scolded: "Bear with me!" We have been doing it in Luoyang for so many years, and finally went out to be an emperor, what an honor. Today, we are here to welcome the car, and it is to be written into the history of the state. ”

Finally, at the end of the line of sight, the frame slowly appeared, Zhu Yousong peeked out of the curtain and said to Zhang Yuanhua: "How is it, are there many people in front?" If it doesn't matter, we can go slower and wait for them. ”

Zhang Yuanhua said with a smile: "Your Majesty, how can you not have much prestige in Luoyang. ”

Zhu Yousong put his mind at ease, this is half of his clothes and returning to his hometown, which is a joy in life. He thought for a moment and said, "Lead the horse, I will ride into the city." ”

There are still three miles from Luoyang, and you can already see the boundless welcoming procession. Hundreds of officials take the lead, each wears the official mansion, and the women who have orders on their bodies also wear makeup. The streets and alleys are surrounded by curtains, and these people are just nobles with official status.

Under the crank umbrella of Longjing, Zhu Yousong rode his horse and left the little eunuch with the umbrella behind. When I came to the city, I saw the officials and elders in crowns and robes and shoes coming forward, kneeling on the ground, and shouting long live. Zhu Yousong jumped off the horse, helped Lu Weiqi led by them, and said: "I have lived in Luoyang for a long time, you all know your true temperament, you don't have to be like this. ”

With tears in his eyes, the old man said, "Your Majesty can return to Luoyang, which is a blessing for me." ”

After entering the city, Zhu Yousong found that both sides of the road had been covered with curtains to prevent a mob from alarming the holy car.

Zhu Yousong chuckled lightly and said: "When I was the king of Xiaofu, I walked through the streets of Luoyang with two or three guards, and I once fought with people in the city. Now that he is the emperor, don't you dare to meet the people? When everyone present heard Zhu Yousong's words, they couldn't help but smile bitterly, this little Fu King was a harm to Luoyang at the beginning. Who knew that his temperament changed so much later, and even the emperor became the emperor.

After saying the order to remove the curtain, the people behind the curtain were already crowded, and they all cheered in unison. To say that Zhu Yousong's reputation in Luoyang is really not a joke, the smile on the face of every ordinary person is sincere. The guards are also all children of Luoyang, and they are honored and hold their heads high.

An old man in the crowd cried tears like rain, and looking at his appearance, it was the old man who was the neighbor of Wu Xifeng, a carpenter artist. A small incident back then, as soon as it spread through his mouth, it was already a big talk in Luoyang. was even adapted to praise the son of today, and his righteousness was not lost when Zhao Taizu sent Jingniang thousands of miles away.

In front of King Fu's Mansion, it has been carefully prepared. If you want to talk about extravagance, no one has more experience than Fuwangfu, but after Zhu Yousong took charge, he faintly suppressed this unhealthy trend. Zhu Yousong has been in the capital for more than half a year, and the extravagance in the people in the palace has resurfaced. In front of the palace, the Persian red carpet is like a red rainbow, spread out for more than ten miles. The tent dances the dragon, the curtain flies and embroiders the phoenix, and there is even the fragrance of the beast along the way.

The high-ranking officials and servants in the palace all stood outside the door to greet the holy car.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yousong not only came by himself, but also followed by the people of the city.

Seeing this pompous and dazzling palace gate, Zhu Yousong almost mistakenly thought that he had gone wrong, and looked around to see that it was indeed his own palace. There was a faint anger in his heart, and he was afraid to return to Luoyang on the first day, and he hadn't met the Zou family, so he couldn't bear it.

After entering the palace, Zhu Yousong bowed to the lion three times, and only waited for the gate of the palace to be closed and separated from the people, and then said angrily: "Who is this moth, I don't know that Liaodong spends a lot of money, and a bowl of rice in Shaanxi can save dozens of people?" ”

Lao Shutou had never seen Zhu Yousong so angry, and hurriedly shirked: "It was those subordinate officials and lords in the outer palace who came up with it, and they said that this is the way of etiquette." ”

Zhu Yousong calmed down a little, and knew that what they said made sense. As an emperor, the specifications and etiquette of the original patrol scared the person to death, and he has simplified it countless times, and he is still very extravagant.

So he turned back to Zhou Shuye and said: "This kind of etiquette system not only costs the people and money, but also makes it fun to go on patrol, so it must be changed." ”

Zhou Shuye secretly remembered it in his heart, and was ready to write a charter after he went back.

And this move is quite profound, and the etiquette system has always been a symbol of Confucianism. Within a few days, Zhu Yousong first ridiculed the Bagu scholars, implying that the imperial examination should be changed and the etiquette should be streamlined, which is a signal. Zhou Shuye, who prides himself on being a good confidant, naturally wants to clear the way for him.

Returning to the palace, Zhu Yousong was naturally familiar with the road. The Zou family had already gotten the news, and was beaming in his yard, waiting for Zhu Yousong to return home. Su Yue's belly is now bulging, not far from giving birth, pregnant in October, and there should be two months to give birth to Zhu Yousong's first child.

Sent Zhou Shu to Suyue at night, Zhu Yousong came to Zou's place, and when he entered the hospital, he first saw a tall beauty with a red jacket and an emerald green skirt. The goose neck is straight, the legs are more than half long, the hips are round, and the waist is tight. Zhu Yousong looked at her with a pair of thief eyes with a grin, in exchange for a pair of big white eyes. Immediately, there were eyes like water, and the whole yard was almost overwhelmed. She was originally thirty years old, and she had only had a good relationship with Zhu Yousong once, and she knew the taste of eating marrow, and when no one was there at night, she didn't know how many times she had thought about the taste of eating bones and ecstasy.

"Don't come in yet? The princess has been waiting for you all morning. ”

Zhu Yousong took advantage of no one's attention and pinched her buttocks, which were rounder than a ball, before smiling into the room.

Hongyu only felt that she was numb as if she was electrocuted, and then she heard a shyly voice: "Fuba greets my mother." ”
