Chapter 1024: Destiny Returns

South of Luoyang City, on the shore of Luoshui.

Wei Ba, accompanied by Wei Wu and others, surrounded by the army, looked at the clean avenue, looked at the black but quiet crowd on both sides of the road, and felt the majesty of the king for the first time.

Although he has long been crowned King of Jin, the relationship between him and his subordinates has not changed much, and the most obvious change is that the title of general has become king or highness. They are still comrades-in-arms who fight side by side, and there is no clear boundary between monarchs and ministers.

But now, he is in Luoyang City, but he feels this awe and fear from the welcoming crowd on both sides of the road.

The awe was because he came to Luoyang as a victor, and it only took half a day to defeat the defenders of Luoyang City. Fear, it is the people of Luoyang who are afraid that he, like all the victors, will plunder and cause harm to them.

Wei Ba turned around and said to Lu Xun on the right: "General, pass on my orders, and those who take brick by brick from the people without permission will be severely punished." ā€

"Whoa." Lu Xun bowed slightly on the horse's back, and then waved his hand. After a while, several heralds came out on horseback, running all the way, shouting all the way: "The king has an order, and those who take every brick and tile of the people without permission will be severely punished." ā€

Shouting over this way, not only did every soldier feel vigilant, but the people on the side of the road also relaxed a lot. Luoyang changed hands, it didn't matter much to them, but every time the change of ownership brought about the military disaster was too hurtful. Compared with the common people, those Cao Wei officials who had not yet surrendered were even more frightened, for fear that Wei Ba would take advantage of the military disaster to rob their family property.

With this order, at least the safety of life and property is guaranteed.

Feeling the relaxation that rippled like ripples, Wei Ba was very satisfied, waved his hand gently, and walked in front of the team. ā€

A hundred heavily armed warriors wielded their long swords and cleared the way ahead. Two hundred heavily armored horsemen slowly drove their mounts. Walk towards Luoyang City. The sword light is Huohuo, the iron horse is sensen, and the awe-inspiring murderous aura makes anyone a little frightened when they see it, and subconsciously move away from the side. This is not that Wei Ba wants to show his majesty, but the rules for officials in the Han Dynasty to travel. Even if it's a prefectural order. There are also samurai guides in the front, but the number of samurai guides is different depending on the level. With Wei Ba's current king. These are all things that are part of the matter.

Of course, not everyone can use elites like heavy armor warriors and heavy armor riders to open the way like Wei Ba. This is the embodiment of Wei Ba's strength. When he first got Luoyang City, although Wei Ba didn't want to kill, it was necessary to show his strength so that those who wanted to be loyal to Cao Wei died of this heart.

Wei Wu sat on horseback, looking at the black-pressed crowd through the wheel-like sword light in front of him, and at the Pingcheng Gate that was getting closer and closer. I can't suppress the pride in my heart. He never thought that one day he would walk into Luoyang City like this, just as he never thought that the Wei family would be so noble one day.

They were getting closer and closer to the city gate, and as they were about to enter the city gate, a young man rushed out of the road and stopped in the middle of the road. Raise your arms and shout, "Stop, stop!" ā€

The heavy armor soldier who walked in the front couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said in his heart whose child is this. Aren't you afraid of death?

A heavy armor soldier stepped forward quickly and shouted: "Whose child, get out of the way!" ā€

"Do you want King Jin to be ridiculed by the world?" The young man was not afraid, and shouted: "We can't enter the city through the Pingcheng Gate, take me to the King of Jin quickly." If you miss a big thing, you can't afford it. ā€

"Who are you?" The heavy armor man was angry and funny, and if it weren't for the fact that he was an underage child, he kicked him aside.

"Yingchuan Zhonghui."

The heavy armor soldier's hand had already stretched out and touched Zhong Hui's shoulder, and when he heard this, he subconsciously retracted his hand again.

Yingchuan Zhong family, this is too big. As one of the four families of Yingchuan, the reputation of the Zhong family is by no means as simple as the Yingchuan family. They grew together with Cao Wei and became a world-famous family long ago. Zhong Chen Xun Han, the Han family has long declined, the Xun family did not support Cao Cao to be the king because they refused Xun Yu, first prospered and then declined, leaving only the Chen family and the Zhong family. Zhong Xuan from Cao Cao's entrepreneurial era is a heavy general, after the founding of the Wei State, successively served as the captain of the Xiangguo, is a well-deserved Wei State minister, calligraphy is famous all over the world. When he was alive, no one in Wei could compare with him.

Even an ordinary soldier knows that the Yingchuan Zhong family is not an idle person, not to mention that this matter also involves the reputation of King Jin.

The heavy armor soldier did not dare to slack off, and immediately reported to Wei Wu. Wei Wu didn't dare to mess around, so he hurriedly ordered to stop advancing, and at the same time sent someone to bring Zhong Hui to Wei Ba.

"Zhonghui?" As soon as Wei Ba heard this name, he was stunned for a moment. However, he immediately concealed his feelings. After all, he has seen too many historical celebrities, and Jiang Wei has already fallen into the hands of Sima Yi, so he can't make any big waves, not to mention that Zhong Hui is still a teenager, what can he worry about.

"Why?"

"The Pingcheng Gate is the Gate of the Son of Heaven." Zhong Hui bowed and saluted, and said loudly: "If the general considers himself a victor and enters the city through this gate, it is naturally understandable. But the general should not forget that although Wei was the Han Dynasty, he was the Zen of the Han Emperor and inherited the Han dynasty. And Shu Han also regarded himself as inheriting the Han dynasty, no matter in which aspect, the general faced the orthodox Han family. Dare to ask the general, do you still have the Taoism of the Han in your mind? ā€

Wei Ba was stunned for a moment, glanced back at Lu Xun, Lu Xun nodded, stroked his beard, and said softly: "Listen again, this kid is a little interesting." ā€

Wei Ba also heard the meaning. Zhong Hui did not build yƬ He entered the city through the Ping City Gate, in fact, it was not the main purpose, but to remind him of whose hands the Han Dynasty Taoist system was. Although Shu Han regarded himself as the inheritor of the Han family, it was just self-talking. Wei was scolded as a usurper in later generations, but Wei had the official edict of the Han Emperor, and there was a national seal left by the Han family.

And more importantly, although the last Han Emperor Liu Xie had died a few years ago, the last Empress Cao Jie was still alive. If Wei Ba took over the seal from Wei and then received recognition from Cao Jie, he could skip Shu Han and directly inherit the Han dynasty.

This may not be the most convenient option, but it is a good option.

If this is the case, then it seems less reasonable for Wei Ba to enter the city from the Pingcheng Gate as the victor.

Everyone is a smart person, Zhong Hui didn't have to say much, Wei Ba accepted his advice.

Wei Ba arched his hand very politely: "Thank you for the reminder, I almost made a big mistake." If you don't give up, you dare to ask Zhong Jun to enter the city together and give advice at any time. ā€

Zhong Hui smiled slightly, bowed deeply, and said loudly: "The king is not a boy who is arrogant, he is like a stream, and he has the demeanor of a benevolent monarch." Zhong will not be talented, willing to serve the king. ā€

The two smiled similarly.

The onlookers on both sides saw it and applauded loudly. Some applauded the Zhong family's sons and daughters for their outspokenness, and some applauded His Royal Highness the King of Jin for admonishing Ruliu, all of them were happy, the best of both worlds. They can't think of so many deep things, but they just feel that the scene in front of them is a bit legendary, and if they can see it with their own eyes, it will be an excuse to boast to their neighbors and friends in the future.

Of course, this is also one of the purposes of Wei Ba and Zhong Hui to support each other.

Wei Ba immediately sent someone to arrange a horse for Zhong Hui and asked him to follow him. Zhong Hui said that he should not enter the city through the Pingcheng Gate, so he simply humbled to the end and ordered to enter the city through the Hanmen Gate at the south end of the east city instead, to show that he was coming from the east.

This temporary change, of course, has a lot of impact, but this trouble is worth it, King Jin knows the courtesy, Zhong Hui dares to admonish, and the reputation of the two of them spreads out at once. The impromptu change of the ceremony to enter the city is the best advertisement.

An hour later, Wei Ba came to the Qinglong Que at the east gate of Nangong. Empress Dowager Guo and Little Heavenly Son Yuan Fang have long been kneeling here and waiting.

Wei Ba stopped, looked at Yuan Fang who was kneeling in front of him, and Empress Dowager Guo who was wearing a cloak, and saw that Empress Dowager Guo was holding a brocade box in her hand, and suddenly laughed silently.

The brocade box was open, and there was a jade seal carved with a tiger button inside. Wei Ba had never seen the Heirloom Seal, but he believed that this should be the Heirloom Seal that was passed down to the gods. With this heirloom seal, it can be said that it is the destiny of heaven.

He straightened his clothes, looked solemn, stepped forward, took the brocade box from the hand of the Empress Dowager Guo, admired it carefully, and then held it high.

Long live the crowd.

First the people around Wei Ba shouted, then all the soldiers shouted, and then, all the onlookers also followed the rhythm and cheered again and again.

The entire city of Luoyang seemed to be shouting.

"Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! ā€

As far as the Han Dynasty is concerned, although the official rule is that long live is limited to the emperor, in fact the restrictions are not so strict, and ordinary people also have the opportunity to enjoy cheering long live, as for Wei Ba, of course, it is more qualified.

However, everyone knows that sooner or later this long live will become the real thing.

Luoyang has become the Luoyang of Wei Ba, and the world will also become the world of Wei Ba.

The rest is just a question of whether it is from the Han to the Jin or from the Shu Han to the Jin. This is a game in the court, which has nothing to do with ordinary people, and even for middle and lower-level officials, except for changing the official seal once, it does not have much impact.

What they know is that the chaos in the world that began with the Yellow Turban Rebellion is now coming to an end, and the war of nearly a Jiazi will be far away from them from now on. They can live a stable life again, not only do they no longer have to worry about the safety of their lives, but they may also live a more relaxed life. As we all know, the rate of improvement of the living standards of the people under Wei Ba's rule is second to none in the world. Those who have the conditions go to his rule, and those who do not want to belong to him. Now, he has come to Luoyang, and of course he will also bring the hope of a better life to Luoyang.

Therefore, for the vast majority of people, this shout of long live is very sincere and heartfelt. Compared with their desire for a stable and beautiful life, the heirloom seal in Wei Ba's hands is far inferior.

The ancients had a cloud: the sky sees itself and the people see, and the sky listens to its own people.

Youyun: The will of the people is the destiny of heaven.

At this moment, Wei Ba is destiny
