Chapter Forty-Nine: The Fragrance of Flowers Lining the Horseshoe

I don't know how long the capital of the Han Kingdom has not been so sensational, since the emperor who didn't even want to mention his name was cholera in the world, the world was full of flames, and the huge Han Empire fell apart in an instant. Seeing that the Han Empire, which has been inherited for more than 400 years, has a tendency to decline, the soldiers and horses from all over the country have established themselves as kings, and the military generals who can minister and military generals have also emerged in endlessly, and the Qin Wang Army and the forbidden army have to guard a small place near the capital of the Han Kingdom that is also the capital of the Han Kingdom and struggle to survive. Fortunately, the Han Empire has a strong enough heritage, and after nearly 600 years of development, the current Han Kingdom can be regarded as a rich country and a strong people.

Having said all this, I just want to express the excitement and expectation of Hermes-Epitek at this time. The inheritance from generation to generation let them know that their ancestors were the royal forest army of the Han Empire, which was unparalleled in the world during the Northern Expedition to the grasslands and the Southern Expedition to overseas! It is the Royal Forest Army who is willing to conquer the world for the eagle dogs of the Han Court! What a glory and what a majesty it was then!

"Yannan Hou Banshi has returned to the court, at the north gate, many ministers have gone to line up to greet each other, and it seems that there is still the emperor Lao'er~" With a majestic and rapid chant in the market, people threw down the work at hand and ran to the north gate uncontrollably.

In their opinion, now the annihilation of the Southern Xiongnu by the Yannan Hou in the north out of the Yumen fortress on the grassland is the harbinger of the rise of the Han Kingdom, so at this time, regardless of whether there is something at home or not, they have put down the work at hand and gathered at the north gate of the capital to offer their heroes a cheer and enthusiasm of their own.

After a while, the north gate was crowded with bustling people. The crowd was like a mountain and a sea, and even some of the nearby highlands, such as the houses, were full of young people hanging on the trees.

And the literate students also climbed the stone sink, stood on the mound, a large number of palace forbidden troops were sent out to maintain order, although they pushed and shouted at each other, but it could be seen that everyone was full of smiles, and the faces of those soldiers who were usually arrogant were also full of kindness, and some were squeezed down in the crowd and didn't care, patted their butts and jumped up, the scene was as hot as a fire, and the hot air seemed to burn your intestines if you took a breath.

Compared with the enthusiastic crowd and lower-level officers and soldiers, the group of ministers standing in front of them and the emperor and concubines in the sedan chair were quietly silent. That group of people will never know that this so-called huge welcome is just a show for the government and the opposition, a show for the people, and a show for the enemy countrymen!

However, how dazzling and poignant their enthusiastic reaction was in the eyes of the ministers and emperors of the Manchu Dynasty!

Think about the time when the Han Empire dominated the world, everyone was proud of claiming to be the people of the Han Empire, even if the war of annihilation that has not been seen for a hundred years happened at that time, it would not stir up a few waves among the people. It's just that at most, it is proudly displayed in front of those foreign businessmen.

"General XX destroyed the country of that XX place again, do you know?"

Of course, the person on the other side will not admit that he doesn't know for the sake of face, but said with a smile:

"It's just the destruction of a country, and it's not something worth promoting, what is there to know and not know~"

At that time, the Han people were so proud and confident, they firmly believed that the Han people were the only pinnacle race in the world, so all people should surrender to their feet, conquer the famous city, and kill the heroes.

Defy? of the Yi Clan!

But what about now? Although it was a beautiful victory, even the victory of a defensive battle required such fanfare to raise the national prestige of the Han Kingdom and deter the Quartet. This has to show that this is a kind of sorrow, sadness in the heart of every minister who still has a conscience, and pain in the heart of Emperor Meng Chang.

He was a young man who fought in all directions and fell into a dark wound, so why didn't he work hard for the rise of the Han Kingdom! However, the general trend of the world made it impossible for him to occupy more places, which was not only the problem of the emperor at that time, but also the problem of the accumulation and national policy of the Han Kingdom, so he devoted his life to accumulating national strength, changing the national policy, and implementing the strategy of 'distant friendship', paving the way for the next majestic and mighty emperor! Thinking about it this way, will I become an emperor like Emperor Wenjing in history~

The corners of Meng Chang's mouth couldn't help but curve a little.

"Father, it's too much for Lao Jiu to let his father wait for such a long time!" The second prince Meng Xu, who was standing on the side, had to take a step forward and say to the emperor with an ugly face after receiving the eyes of the eldest prince Meng Wen.

He didn't know that even if the emperor had this idea at the moment, if he said it through his mouth, his impression in the emperor's eyes would be pulled to the lowest point. But what could he do? First, he had no title, and second, he had no strength, so he had to follow his eldest brother with a bent heart.

The emperor, who glanced at Meng Xu lightly, didn't say anything, just turned his head again and looked at the road ahead expectantly. I want to see what surprises Lao Jiu can bring to me with the idea of giving it a try!

Meng Xu, whose face was even more ugly, couldn't help but be embarrassed in place, neither advancing nor retreating, he knew that his identity, which did not have much prestige in the Manchu Dynasty at this moment, would become even more worthless. He will become the laughing stock of the Manchu dynasty because of what he has done today! Meng Xu, who didn't dare to resent the Great Prince, transferred all his resentment to the Nine Emperor Prince, who had never been valued by him.

……

Getting closer, Meng Wei, who saw the outline of the capital city from a distance, couldn't help but surge.

The horse-riding procession was already approaching the north gate led by the emperor himself, and I don't know who arranged it on both sides, and the women held the flower basket in one hand, and the other hand kept raising the fluttering flowers on the road ahead. Meng Li, who took a deep breath of the fragrance of flowers, couldn't help but smile, really happy. It is really rare to be able to get so many flowers in winter, although it must be the leader of the imperial court, but the women on both sides with obvious smiles from the heart let Meng Li know how big his harvest is this time!

The elite cavalry who walked behind to escort the representatives of the Xiongnu nobles took a deep breath with a solemn face, puffed up his chest high, and greeted this honor belonging to their soldiers with the most majestic posture.

"Long live the Han Empire!"

"Mighty Yan Nanhou! Restore the glory of my great man~"

The bursts of cheers made Meng Li enjoy it very much, and he closed his eyes to receive the cheers from the hearts of these people.

Of course, many more burst into tears and shouted two words:

"Big man! Dahan~"

Their love has been accumulated for too long, and it has made them remember the glory of their ancestors in their bones for a long time!

In front of him, he saw a faint figure sitting in the majestic imperial tent. Meng Li, who had already woken up from the fluttering feeling just now, hurriedly made a gesture for the whole army to dismount and salute!

The sound of dismounting from the horse, the sound of the weapons on the ground, the hand of the brush sliding down the halberd, the sound of the military salute kneeling on one knee, and the shouting of the brush: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

This qiē is the embodiment of military elements, which shocked all the soldiers and civilians present at this moment. Different from the shrunken eyes of the officials and generals of various forces, at a glance, the army of elite soldiers made the north gate that had just been silent boil again, and the glory of their Han people may not be far away!

"Haha, flat body, strong my man's elite soldiers! Well deserved! The emperor's smile at the moment is a smile from the heart, his old nine really brought him a full surprise, not to mention the tiger generals and capable ministers that the secret agent who returned the fast horse returned, just these elite soldiers, he has already seen the hope of the Han Kingdom recovering the Fù Empire! Perhaps, it is not indispensable to restore the glory of the ancestors!

Drill? Maybe, but that kind of murderous momentum, that kind of rampant and unstoppable momentum, can be practiced!

"Lao Jiu, come to me and let me take a good look at you!" The emperor who didn't follow the process at all really wanted to take a closer look at this son who was unusually favored at the beginning, but the emperor is the emperor, and no matter how much he pampered him, he has to think about the whole country, not to mention that as an empire that originally dominated the blue continent, it is now a kingdom that has decayed!

"This? Be! Meng Li, who had not received Wang Kang's notice at all, hesitated for a moment, but still responded, unsheathed his sword, handed it to the imperial guards, and walked to the emperor's frame.

"Come in~" The faint voice didn't seem to be able to hide a hint of joy in it.

"Huh~" Meng Li, who opened the curtain and approached, saw the current helmsman of the Han Kingdom again, and this was the first time he looked at the emperor carefully.

The sideburns already have a trace of gorgeous hair, the lines at the corners of the eyes are not covered by the court painter, the thick lips are still trembling, and the vicissitudes of the eyes still reveal a trace of joy. Joy? Maybe.

"Majesty!" After a little look, he quickly bowed his head and saluted.

"Hehe, do you still call me Your Majesty, Li'er, do you still refuse to call me a word of father?" The helplessness and wry smile at the corners of his mouth seemed to make Meng Li understand something. It was an old man's expectation, or prayer, for his proud son!

The word 'I' also seems to say a lot about it. Meng Li, who couldn't bear the old man's disappointment, was finally dominated by a wave of emotion that surged into his heart.

"Father!"

"Alas~, good son!" Pulling Meng Li over, as if he was afraid of touching him, he gently touched his face.

"Do you complain about your father?" The sudden emperor came out with such a sentence in front of Meng Li's eyes.

"Don't complain~" really don't complain, if it weren't for his separation, how could he get help from the system, and how could he follow Haojie!

"Haha! Good, good, good! Stand down! After three days in a row, he directly let Meng Li retreat. made Meng Li sigh unfathomably, the emperor's heart is unpredictable~~

The next process is in the notice of Prime Minister Wang Kang, the prisoner, some captured items, and then the emperor's reward.

It's just that some of the official positions reported by Meng Li were crowned by the emperor again, plus some gold, silver and jewelry, and splendid ayaluo. I won't go into details~~
