In the stable carriage of the train, Zhao Xu stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, his eyes were full of curiosity and looked at the scenery outside the window, for him who had never left the capital since he was a child, everything outside the window was very fresh, although in the eyes of others, it may be just some farmland or villages, but Zhao Xu looked at it with relish, like a child.

In fact, it is not surprising that Zhao Xu has such a performance, there are two main reasons, one is that he has never been out of the capital, he has countless curiosities and fantasies about the outside world, and now is the opportunity for him to see the outside world with his own eyes, and it may also be the only time he has the opportunity to go out in his life, so he wants to take this opportunity to take a walk and take a look at the outside world completely in his mind. In fact, from this point of view, Zhao Xu is really pitiful.

The second reason is simpler, after all, he is the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, the ruler of this huge empire, but usually he can only see the living conditions of the people in the capital, but this does not represent all the subjects of the Great Song Dynasty, of course, he can also understand the situation outside through ministers or intelligence agencies, but these need to be through other people's eyes, he can only listen to other people's paraphrases, and these paraphrases may not be accurate, so he dreams of seeing with his own eyes what the Great Song Dynasty is like.

It is precisely because of the above reasons, so since leaving the capital, Zhao Xu's eyes have been staring out of the window, speaking of the train and the railway, the railway line has slowly become lively, because the initial train speed is very slow, many people can follow the train to sell goods to the people in the car, but this is very dangerous, so later the imperial court ordered that except for the station, no one is allowed to approach the advancing train within fifty steps, otherwise it will be caught immediately ten plates. Although this ban is not respected by everyone, at least most people no longer dare to chase trains to sell goods as blatantly as before.

However, although no one dared to step forward when the train was moving, it was different when it arrived at the station, there was a considerable distance from Tokyo to Tarzan, and the coal and water on the train were consumed quickly, so when you arrived at the station, you had to stop to add water and coal. It is impossible for Zhao Xu to clear the scene at every station, which is too disturbing to the people, and as a result, there will be many small traders selling goods around the window of the train, even if it is Zhao Xu's train, after all, these small traders do not know that it is their Emperor Majesty who is sitting on the car.

Of course, these vendors would not be able to get close to Zhao Xu's train, after all, whenever the train stopped, the guards on the train would separate the crowd from the train, but Zhao Xu found it very interesting. Even when he saw the goods he was interested in, he would instruct the chamberlain to buy some back, and even if he didn't need them, he could use them to give them away when he returned to Beijing in the future.

Tokyo City is not far from Mount Tai, if you take a train in later generations, I am afraid it will not take a few hours to arrive, but the speed of the train in the Great Song Dynasty is far from being comparable to that of later generations, so this journey will take a day. Although it is very slow compared with later generations, it is already fast for the Song people. You must know that in the past, when there was no train, even if you rode a horse, you had to run for several days, after all, no matter how good a horse is, it is impossible to run without eating or drinking, but trains can.

Zhao Xu and his team set off in the morning, and it was not until the evening that they arrived at the foot of Mount Tai in Gongzhou, which was later known as Tai'an City. However, the name Tai'an only appeared after the Jin Kingdom occupied here, and now the Jin Kingdom has long been destroyed, so the name Tai'an may no longer appear.

The train came to a slow stop at the station in Raid Gyeongfu, and the local officials had already received the news, and they were all waiting at the station at this time. In addition, the civil and military officials who had been sent here to prepare for the Zen Sealing Ceremony were also anxiously waiting, and it was not until Zhao Xu's train slowly entered the station that these people finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then stepped forward to prepare to greet them.

When Zhao Xu and their train slowly stopped, the door immediately opened, and then teams of guards rushed out, completely taking over the defense of the entire station, and verifying the identities of everyone present, and after confirming that there was no danger, the princes, nobles and ministers on the ship began to get off the train, until finally saw Zhao Xu get off the train.

When he saw a young general in the crowd, his eyes immediately lit up and he wanted to greet the other party, but he saw the other party smiling and waving his hand, which made Zhao Xu immediately understand what he meant, so he didn't step forward, but nodded to him with a smile.

The young generals in the crowd are naturally Zhao Xu's eldest brother Zhao Tong, he is one of the first officials to be sent to Mount Tai to deal with the affairs of Feng Chan, and Zhao Yan's task is also very important, that is, to investigate the hidden dangers that may occur around Mount Tai, so as not to have unnecessary dangers when Zhao Xu seals Zen, but Zhao Yan is very low-key, and even changed his name in the army, in order not to let people know his true identity, so when he saw Zhao Xu at this time, he did not let him reveal his identity.

There is a palace in the Qingfu Raid, but this palace is not built by Zhao Xu, in fact, this palace has a history of several decades, when Song Zhenzong came to Mount Tai to seal Zen, so he let people build this palace, just used it once and never used it again, it has been very dilapidated for decades, but Zhao Xu was very happy after knowing this, but let people completely repair and sort out the palace, as their residence after coming to Mount Tai, and did not let people rebuild, so that a lot of expenses can be saved.

It is precisely because of this, so after Zhao Xu came to the Qingfu Mansion, he was soon greeted by the local officials in the palace, which has been thoroughly repaired, although it still looks a little old, but there must be no problem with the residents, and in the main hall of the palace, the wine banquet has been prepared to catch the wind, and the banquet uses the very famous tofu banquet here, which is completely vegetarian without any meat, which is also the etiquette meal when the emperor came to seal Zen, because during the entire Zen ceremony, Zhao Xu needs to eat vegetarian meditation, In this way, he shows his respect for heaven and earth.

Although the tofu feast is vegetarian, the local chef can make a small piece of tofu into countless tricks, and each dish is very distinctive, even if it is an emperor like Zhao Xu who has eaten all the delicacies of the mountains and seas, he also feels that the tofu feast is very delicious.

After the banquet was over, Zhao Xu had the opportunity to summon Zhao Yu alone, and when Zhao Yu entered the palace to see Zhao Xu, he immediately bowed down and saluted: "Minister Zhao Bai to meet Your Majesty!" (To be continued.) )
