Chapter 119: The Emperor Arrives
Listening to the nameless words, Li Guanqi's nervous and excited heart calmed down a little, although Zhao Zheng and Liu Hanyan were both people he was eager to meet, but he really couldn't figure out Zhao Zheng's attitude now, after all, the other party was a person who fell into the grass.
The three of them returned to the north courtyard, and Li Guanqi stood under the corridor and laughed loudly: "Brother Zhao, the official has left, please come out, let's talk about the old days." ”
No one answered.
Li Guanqi shouted again, but there was still no one in the room. He Ziming knew that there was a change, and he didn't step forward, but just stood in the distance, and slapped out a palm volley, and the door opened in an uproar with a "bang". A strong wind blew in, and the lights on the windowsill were almost blown out.
Nameless is an arrow into the house, but when he sees the green light, he is already like a yellow crane!
"Gone?" Li Guanqi entered the room and looked at it, frowned and said, "Can't you really go all the way?" ”
Thinking that Liu Hanyan also said goodbye to them without saying goodbye, and remembering that when he just entered the door, Zhao Zheng called Liu Hanyan "clumsy jing", Li Guanqi couldn't help but be stunned, if he had made a mistake, he paced in the moonlight like water, and slowly returned to the room.
Because the next big city is Xiangyang, the seat of Shannan Province, and when you arrive in Xiangyang, you must meet the main officials of Shannan Province with your real identity, and Xiangyang is Chen Guangxi's base camp, and it is indeed not very safe for three people to be alone in the past, so Li Guanqi no longer served privately, but gathered the army of guards, and slowly walked towards Xiangyang with a complete guard of honor.
The supreme chief executive of Shannan Province ordered Bai Wuxian to rebuild the road with loess three days in advance, and set up a color shop every 100 steps along the road.
When Li Guanqi's guard of honor arrived in Xiangyang, Bai Wuxian personally led the officials in Xiangyang City to bring all the honor guards and books to welcome them out ten miles away to wait for the driver, but Chen Guangxi, the commander of Shannan Province, who was crowned the Duke of Guo, was not in the crowd.
While ordering people to carefully review the driving etiquette again, Bai Wuxian ordered people to go to the front post station to inquire about Li Guanqi's itinerary, and the horses shuttled back and forth like meteors.
The last fast horse returned. The spy rolled down the saddle and pointed with his hand: "The emperor has reached the corner!" ”
When Bai Wuxian put his hand on the pergola to look at it, he saw that a few tall horses faintly walked out of the bend of the post road not far ahead, and the knights on the horses were black-clothed and black-armed, which were the emperor's guards - Xiao Cavalry Guard.
Seeing this, Bai Wuxian hurriedly ordered: "Play music!" ”
In an instant, the drum music was a big hit. Bai Wuxian knelt down first. But Li Guanqi brought nearly 10,000 people on this tour, and although this striker is in front of him, Li Guanqi's dragon chariot is still far away.
It wasn't until Bai Wuxian and the others' knees began to go numb that Li Guanqi's bright yellow dragon chariot slowly came to the front of everyone and stopped, He Ziming and Nameless picked up the sedan curtain, Li Guanqi wore a purple and gold crown with a bunched hair, and wore a bright yellow regular clothes, walked down with steps, and gently flicked the corner of the robe. Radial walked in front of Bai Wuxian.
"Chenshan South Dao disposes of Bai Wuxie, and leads the officials of Xiangyang City in Shannan to respectfully ask Your Majesty Sheng'an!" Bai Wuxian bowed his head deeply.
"I'm fine, get up!" Li Guanqi agreed with a smile, and actually bent down to help Bai Wuxian himself, and said, "I haven't seen you for another year." ”
Bai Wuxian is still a jinshi of the Wuzong Dynasty, and he is also an old minister who has been in the sea for a long time, he is almost sixty years old, with wrinkles on his face and a lock of white goatee on his slightly upturned chin. Stern. He stood up and said, "When Emperor Muzong was still driving, the minister entered Beijing to see His Majesty. ”
"yes!" Li Guanqi took over and said. "At that time, I had just ascended the throne, and no one knew me yet, so I didn't talk to you properly, and now that it's your territory, we monarchs and ministers must have a good exchange!"
"The saint is very knowledgeable, if the minister can get the guidance of His Majesty. It's sure to be a big deal. As he spoke, he bowed down and said, "Please meet with the officials." ”
Li Guanqi nodded with a smile and ascended to the high platform, and the military and civilian officials in the audience were immediately silent.
"Ministers." Li Guanqi said in a relaxed tone, "I came to Shannan this time to meet the officials of the pastoral guard. The second is to see my great country. So rest assured, for I am not here to embarrass you. Each of you will go back to the government to do the same errand, list the gains and losses of the government affairs over the years, and hand them over to the disposal of the yamen, and I will discuss with the white disposal envoys, and as long as you know how to repent of the officials who have made mistakes, you will never be embarrassed, and you will never be contemptuous of those who have not changed. Everything must be lenient, and if you are lenient but not harsh, then the officials and the people will be harmonious, and the officials and the people will be at peace, don't you say? ”
Before he finished speaking, the onlookers were already cheering and applauding like thunder. Li Guanqi smiled slightly and said: "I don't like to be lively, please come to your own devices." I still have something to discuss with the white envoy. With that, he stepped off the platform.
Seeing that Li Guanqi walked down without saying a few words, Bai Wuxian hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the people in the city are still waiting to pay homage to the saint's demeanor, please let Your Majesty enter the city, so as to relieve the people's admiration and love." ”
Li Guanqi squinted his eyes and looked at the sky, and said expressionlessly: "What the people care about is food, clothing, housing and transportation, what does the emperor look like about them?" ”
Bai Wuxian smiled awkwardly, "It's still ...... Don't cool the enthusiasm of the people, right? ”
Li Guanqi sneered and said: "What you said is interesting, don't you shake the mountains and shake them into the city, and it will cool the hearts of the people?" ”
Such a rhetorical question was obviously dissatisfied in his tone, Bai Wuxian didn't know what he was doing wrong, and he actually reprimanded the emperor when he saw him, so he had to bow his head and shut up.
Li Guanqi does have a fire in his heart, all the way to the micro-service, the difficulties of the people's livelihood in Shannan Province, he can see it clearly, as the number one chief executive of Shannan Province, Bai Wuxian is to blame. But if it is because of this alone, Li Guanqi can still bear it, after all, he still has to show the emperor's broad mind, and he also understands that all the faults cannot be blamed on Bai Wuxie, he also has his difficulties, who let Shannan still have a hereditary grandfather who holds more than 300,000 troops.
But when he found out that there was no Chen Guangxi in the crowd that came to greet him, and there was not even any Chen family, the anger he had been suppressing suddenly rushed to his head. Although Li Guanqi actually doesn't attach much importance to these pick-up and drop-off etiquette, Chen Guangxi's move is really rampant, he just doesn't take himself as the emperor in his eyes at all, this is the power he set for himself.
calmed down a little, Li Guanqi said to Bai Wuxie: "There is no shortage of victories in Xiangyang, I can come here for a while, can An Neng live up to the great scenery?" You first let all the officials go back to the city first, and each of them will return to the government on business as usual, and I will arrange it, and ride into the city with you for a good tour. ”
Bai Wuxian smiled again, it turned out that the emperor was sitting in the car all the way, tired of it, and wanted to get close to the natural scenery, so he hurriedly agreed, and went down to order all the officials to go back to the city. (To be continued......)
