On the fifth day of December in the fifth year of Jingkang, Emperor Zhao Huan decided to patrol all parts of Guanshan and Hedong, and on the second day of the first month, he sacrificed to the temple, told the heavens and the earth, and issued an edict to the world on the fourth day of the first month, and Yin of Chang'an Mansion was ordered to clean the streets and mobilize the people of Chang'an to send the emperor out of the city.

In the early morning of the fifth day of the first month, it is a rare good day, soon after dawn, the dark red sun gradually transforms into golden yellow, and the brilliant sunlight is sprinkled all over the earth.

At the same time, the Fengsheng Army and the generals who were driving also led 30,000 new troops who had just been formed and trained, waiting outside Chang'an City.

Zhao Huan is still the first time to go out on patrol solemnly, and after the founding of the Song Emperor, except for Zhao Ji who took refuge in Jiangnan during the Jingkang period when he hurriedly avoided the invasion of the Jin army, there are few such large-scale measures to patrol the world.

The Holy Son of Heaven ruled the world with a vertical arch, and Zhao Huan abandoned this classic of Confucian governance.

He got up early in the morning, and under the service of more than a dozen maids, he first finished freshening up, and then put on a yellow embroidered gold dragon robe and a long blue footged head, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.

When I used to watch costume dramas, I only thought that the ancients were very simple and casual in dressing up, but at this time, I realized that every simple ornament was related to etiquette and rituals, and it was not allowed to be sloppy.

He was about to go out, but he turned back and ordered, "Take my sword." ”

An attendant hurriedly agreed, and then hurriedly took Zhao Huan's sword and wore it for him.

Zeng Liumei, the beautiful maid behind Zhao Huan, was being favored, and seeing that the waiter was clumsy, she stepped forward by herself, lightly hung up the sword, and then pursed her lips and smiled: "Your Majesty, you are going to patrol, and you are not going to fight in person, why do you still want to hang your sword." ”

Zhao Huan didn't like the maid to talk the most, so he replied with a blank face: "I have my own plans." ”

"Yes, the concubine is too talkative."

Zeng knew that he had inadvertently committed a taboo, so he hurriedly tidied up the hem of Zhao Huan's robe. He stepped back.

Zhao Huan lowered his head slightly, only to see that her pretty face was slightly red, soft as snow, and the glimmer of the early morning reflected on her face, which was really beautiful. With a soft heart for no reason, he smiled and said, "I am not just a tour, but also a great deal of knowledge. And maybe he will also command the army to fight a battle or two nearby, besides.

Now the corporal has more swords, and the world is like this, I am really happy, and I must set an example. ”

Seeing Zeng's face turn, obviously happy to explain himself, Zhao Huan twisted her pointed chin lightly, and said with a smile: "Besides, don't you think I am more heroic when I wear a sword?" ”

Zeng Liumei was extremely embarrassed by him, but lowered his head and replied softly: "Yes." Your Majesty is heroic. ”

"Haha. I'm gone. ”

In fact, Zhao Huan was thin and weak, and he had intentionally strengthened his physical exercise since he was in the Five Kingdoms, and now he is riding and shooting every day. Beef and mutton mare's milk can be made every day, now a height of about one hundred and seventy-five, strong physique, both the Song Dynasty men are elegant, and there are the nomads at that time only have the strength and vigor, wearing an emperor's robe, wearing a three-foot dragon spring, and the confident temperament when walking in a big stride, it does look handsome and handsome.

He always likes to admire the demeanor of Zhang Xian and other military generals, but in fact, he is an emperor. Zhao Huan only has a little bit of demeanor, and he has already won the hearts of the people.

Since he went out, hundreds of guards in the inner hall with bright armor have surrounded him, and near the left pavilion gate between the inner court and the outer hall, dozens of officials who followed the trip were also waiting there, seeing the emperor coming with a sword, Zhang Jun took the lead in worshipping first, and the rest of the officials also followed to meet him, and the mountain shouted long live.

"Get up. After a while, it will be sent out of the city gate by hundreds of officials, and there will be a lot of ceremonial events. ”

Zhao Huan was in a very good mood, and after letting the officials get up, he took the lead and went outside, and when he arrived at the Outer Court Square, there were Zhang Suo, Xie Liang, Zhao Kai and other officials waiting here with hundreds of officials.

After he ordered the exemption, he exchanged a few words with the prime minister and others, and seeing Zhang Suo's uneasy face, he knew that it was because Huang Lu had been refuted by himself because of the big battle, so he was inevitably a little uncomfortable, and smiled at him at the moment:

"It will take at least two or three months for me to go here, and I need to be careful in everything."

Zhang Suo hurriedly replied: "Yes, your subordinates should be like this. ”

"Hmm." Zhao Huan smiled and nodded, and said: "There is some truth in the matter of Huang Lu's big battle, but I have my own considerations, and what Fei Qing thinks is wrong." After I left Beijing, the government affairs were entrusted to you, and I was not worried. ”

Speaking like this, there was affirmation and praise in the comfort, not only Zhang Suo was relieved to hear it, but even Zhao Kai, Xie Liang and others were also smiling.

In the meantime, Zhao Huan sat on the big chariot used by the Son of Heaven to travel, and walked out along the main gate of the palace gate, only escorted by the inner hall and a small number of inner guards, and the rest followed the officials and rode out.

When they arrived at the market, the people of the city had already known the news in advance, not far from the right side of the palace, there were already many people who got up before dawn, stood on both sides of the street, waited eagerly, saw the figure of the direct guards in the inner hall from a distance, everyone knew that the emperor was not far away, so they knelt on the side of the road in a disorderly manner, burned incense and bowed.

Zhao Huan originally hated this kind of feudal etiquette, and did not like people to bow down to him, at this time, he already knew that the accumulated habits were difficult to change for the time being, if he issued an edict at this time to exempt him from kneeling, he was afraid that no one would dare to go to the edict.

Sitting in the tall chariot and seeing the heads of people falling like grass on the street in the distance, Zhao Huan smiled bitterly at first, and then got a little closer, but he was shocked and shocked.

Qianshou Li Min is what the rulers of the past called them. Indeed, compared with those nobles who wore luxurious soft hats and hats and bright clothes, these people either only wore simple turbans, or bare heads, and only tied their hair with soft scarves, at first glance, they were so humble, and closer, looking at the dark faces, calloused big hands, and strong and sturdy figures due to labor, even if they were kneeling, they taught Zhao Huan, who was on the horse and high carriage, to never dare to have contempt.

It is they who hold up the backbone of this empire.

Just a month ago, they were still suffering from cold and hunger, and just because Zhao Huan cared about the people, even if all kinds of measures could not be fully effective, many people died of cold and starvation, but these people only said that the emperor is a rare son of heaven who loves the people, although he knelt on the ground at this moment, but he was full of sincerity, the emperor's car drove near, that is, the mountain shouted long live, many people cried out, thanking the emperor for his relief in the snow disaster.

The more Zhao Huan listened, the more he felt sour.

In his previous life, he was also from the common people to officials, and at the beginning he was full of the heart of serving the country and benefiting the people, but after a long time, he became more and more away from the lives of ordinary people, and his heart gradually became more and more indifferent. The bigger the officials do, the less they really think about the people. At this time, he is even more expensive as an emperor, even if he is not as good as the real feudal emperor, he treats the people like ants, but in fact, he is not really thinking about the common people, but just for his own throne and the so-called general trend of world hegemony.

And at this moment, looking at these government measures with tears in their eyes and full of respect, just for their own ordinary government affairs, there are many old people and children, who also kneel on the cold ground in winter, burn incense and bow down, full of respect for themselves.

"Alas......"

He sighed loudly, and he didn't know what it was like in his heart, the people could not know it, and the Chinese people were really coaxing.

As long as you can live, as long as you have done a little good deed, you will not be forgotten by them.

Although the sun was shining and the cold wind penetrated through the curtain, Zhao Huan said suddenly: "Someone, lift the curtain." ”

"Huh?"

Two high-level martial arts and quick response guards were guarding on both sides of his car door, listening to the emperor's orders, but they were stammering and didn't know how to react.

After a while, he replied with a sense of soberness: "Your Majesty, it's cold, and it's hard to be windy." ”

He didn't dare to say that he was afraid of someone assassinating, so he had to prevaricate with the cold, Zhao Huan didn't know what he meant, and immediately said sharply: "Don't talk nonsense, open the curtains on both sides." ”

"Yes."

The two did not dare to delay any longer, so they had to open the curtain of the chariot completely with one hand.

The curtain was lifted, and a gust of cold wind was not blocked, and it went straight into the car, blowing Zhao Huan violently, but there was a smile on his face, because the carriage was tall, he actually stood up, went to the door of the carriage, and waved to the many people who stretched out their hands to spy on them.

In this way, many people are even more moved in their hearts, only feel that the Son of Heaven is so close to the people, there is no shelf, plus Zhao Huan Zhan Fuping guards Chang'an, relief to the people to urge officials, all kinds of government and military affairs are wise and decisive, and they love the people like a son, the people only feel excited in their hearts, Zhao Huan's car drove everywhere, everyone ignored their voices, desperately shouted, long live the voice, it was really resounding through the clouds.

Not far from the city gate, Zhao Huan saw an old man kneeling in front of him, wearing a very thin outfit, separated by the soldiers of the Xiang Army, his body was also shivering, but he stretched out his head to look at himself, and when Zhao Huan's eyes swept away, the old man first grinned with his toothless mouth, and then probably remembered that something was wrong, and immediately lowered his head and honestly lay on the ground.

It's just that when he knelt down, the movement was too big, and the thin robe was actually cracked and cracked.

Because the emperor's car was in front of him, many people around him saw it clearly, but they didn't dare to laugh, but they only smiled one by one, desperately holding back their laughter.

Zhao Huan smiled at first, and when he saw that the old man's face was flushed with shame, he was originally cold and cold, and his body was shivering with cold, and his heart moved, and he immediately jumped down without waiting for the car to stop.

This move was very reckless, not only the driver who drove the car startled the boss, but the rest of the chamberlains and guards, and many ministers who were not far away, were all taken aback.

"Here, put it on!"

Zhao Huan arrived at the old man's side in a few steps, and actually took off his robe and draped it on the old man's body with his own hands.

Seeing that he was frightened, Zhao Huan smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, there are no taboos in this robe, and the people can wear it." ”

Seeing that the other party was speechless, but there were already tears in his eyes, Zhao Huan's heart moved, and he didn't know what to say again. In the previous life, sending some food items to the poor people's homes, listening to the other party's insincere words of thanks, the person who sent it was bored, and the person who received it was boring, and at this moment, this gift of robe may be the most important thing to boast about in the rest of the other party's life.
