0657 Talk
An older senior civil servant turned around and cautiously glanced at the paper in his hand before he said loudly to the officers next to him, "Order—start hanging the flag!"
A dozen or so Saint Realm masters flew up along the dozen or so towers in the palace, and when they reached the top, they waved the red order flags in their hands—the huge flags tied to the sides of each tower were untied and lowered by the ropes, and they unfolded with a "bang".
On the left is the flag of the original royal family, and on the right is the flag of the current Bai Qianye royal family, the huge flag fluttering in the morning breeze, and the rays of sunlight hit it, flashing a little golden light.
The silent order has been issued, and all the high-rise buildings in Fengdu City have hung these two flags almost at the same time, one by one along the square, along the street, along the river, and the whole city has become a sea of flags!
They fluttered majestically in the wind, majestically fluttered in the rising sun, and countless soldiers who had fought bloodily for these two flags looked up, although they only stared in silence, but they remembered this scene with tears in their eyes.
On this lost continent, how many people can personally participate in the construction of a dynasty and witness its success?
Whether they are descendants of high nobles, obscure sons of commoners, or even aliens who are only worthy of being slaves in other countries, they are all fully entitled to be proud of themselves and of this new empire!
A majestic drum beat echoed over the city, and the curfew in Fengdu was lifted.
Impatient residents poured out of their homes from all over the city to the city center, and in a short time the square in front of the palace was filled with people, and even the streets were crowded with people on both sides. Under the command of the city officials, the garrison was fully dispatched, and it took great difficulty to maintain the order of the scene and ensure the smooth access of the road.
The carriages of the guests drove out of several post houses, merged into the aristocratic traffic on the streets, and slowly drove towards the square in front of the palace, feeling the warm atmosphere of the entire holy capital along the way.
In a luxury carriage with the symbol of the Han Empire, Liu Che, who was dressed in a formal dress, sat in the back row, in this festive atmosphere, his calm and contemplative expression seemed a little too indifferent, and he looked at the people on the street, and even had a trace of seriousness.
The carriage slowed down as it passed a corner in the street, and Liu Che's musings were interrupted by a few shouts of overly affectionate affection. He raised his head and saw that the envoy of Li Shimin of the Tang Empire was waving to him in his carriage.
In normal times, with Liu Che's own temper, he would not care about such a person who seemed very enthusiastic when they met for the first time, but now, this Li Shimin is the envoy of the Tang Empire after all, and Liu Che has always maintained a moderately intimate relationship.
Out of politeness, Liu Che nodded slightly.
Li Shimin laughed, opened the car door and jumped down, and walked directly to Liu Che's carriage, just when Liu Che was expecting him to say something and leave, this not very likable Li Shimin stretched out his hand and knocked on the car door gently.
"When you arrive in the Great Qin Empire, are the younger generations learning from His Majesty Bai Qianye?" Liu Che motioned to his entourage to open the car door and said to Li Shimin, who came up: "We are the envoys of the two empires, so it is not good to have such frequent contact. ”
"Look, I don't know what you said, My Majesty's temper is not clear? Everyone can be said to be the same type of person! He definitely doesn't blame me. Besides, if I can ride in the same carriage with the emperor and grandson of the Han Empire, I will have more capital to show off when I return to China, right?" Li Shimin laughed and joked.
It was almost time to reach the square, and on the street, several guards in new black uniforms were directing the carriage to stop on the side of the street, and the coachman was shouting and pulling the reins, and the carriage came to a stop.
"Excuse me. An officer of the garrison on a horse came to the side of the carriage and gave a military salute: "Is it His Royal Highness Liu Che of the Han Empire?"
"It's me. Liu Che replied, "Major, do you have something?"
"The lower official received an order from the Prime Minister. The officer of the garrison replied: "Your Royal Highness, please take the carriage directly into the entrance." ”
After speaking, the officer planted a small flag in front of Liu Che's carriage.
"I'm tired. Liu Che nodded to the officer, and the carriage began to move again, past the nobles and messengers on foot, their astonished eyes gathered on the carriage.
Liu Che's expression was very calm about these complicated eyes, but his brows furrowed slightly.
Seeing Liu Che's expression, Li Shimin was a little puzzled: "Your Royal Highness, it's good to get such treatment! Why are you so serious?"
"If this order was given by His Majesty Bai Qianye, I would be happy!" Liu Che replied calmly: "But I haven't met the Prime Minister yet, and his courtesy to me seems to have crossed the line a bit......"
"How so?"
"Look around, are there any other carriages besides ours, what would you think if you were an envoy from another country on foot?"
"I, such courtesy, my general idea is that the Great Han Empire and the Great Qin Empire wear a pair ......of pants," Li Shimin replied, and suddenly shouted: "I'm also in the carriage!"
"Yes, Your Excellency is also in this carriage, congratulations to your country, you have also put on a pair of pants with the Great Qin Empire. Liu Che smiled faintly: "This Prime Minister! seems to be very powerful, you will inevitably have to deal with him in the future, pay attention to yourself! Don't think that the other party is old and careless." Ginger is still old and spicy. ”
Li Shimin wanted to complain about something, but the carriage had already reached its destination, and under the experienced shouts of the coachman, the carriage stopped steadily under the viewing platform.
A mighty soldier of the Guards stepped forward and opened the door for them, and before the two of them got out of the car, the civilian official in charge of the reception led them to the VIP seat.
"Forget it, it's not bad to be able to sit in this VIP seat, wait for His Majesty Bai Qianye to come out, and you can see me so sincere at first sight. After looking at the surroundings of the viewing platform, Li Shimin seemed to be very satisfied with his treatment, he exhaled and gave himself a step down: "As for what the other envoys think of me...... You can't please both sides. ”
For his generosity, Liu Che could only smile, beckoned to the receiving official, and asked about the arrangements for the celebration.
"Wait a minute, His Majesty the Emperor will be crowned in the main palace, and only our officials will participate. The official explained: "After that, I will go out of the palace to participate in military parades and celebrations, and later will be the Prime Minister's reception banquet, and in the evening will be the palace ball." ”
"The arrangement is very tight!" Li Shimin said: "I really want to witness His Majesty Bai Qianye's crowning, he must be very energetic today, speaking of which, the first time we met, I felt that I could become friends with His Majesty Bai Qianye......"
