Chapter 650: Sealing the King
At the gate of the city, two columns of Praetorian Guards, dressed in armor, stood on either side. Symbolizing the imperial power, the lupine banner leads to the city. The music is singing in unison, and the golden drums are sounding. The emperor, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, sat on a luxurious chariot, surrounded by officials, and headed towards the imperial city.
The people on both sides held their breath and watched. Behind the officials, rows of black-armored iron helmets were lined up in an orderly manner. One of them was dressed in silver armor and carrying a heavy sword at his waist, sitting on a war horse that was as full of ink as ink, exuding a strong aura of slaughter. Beside him, a lean and strong man, carrying a distinctive curved bow, sat alongside. The black handsome flag, the hunting ground is waving in the wind, and the word "Daming" is written on it!
The king of Yangjun took the lead, lifted the reins and moved forward, and several columns of iron horsemen behind him walked in unison, moving forward in order. The sound of the horse's hooves was neat and orderly, resounding in people's hearts......
After the army passed by, the people on the side of the street came to their senses and began to whisper in a whisper:
"The one in the lead is wearing silver armor, and he is so imposing, I don't even dare to look at him. I heard that that it is the famous 'God of War' of our Daming, and as soon as he arrives in the Northwest Frontier, he will fight so that the aliens can't raise their heads!! β
"I just wanted to see what our Changsheng General looked like, but he glanced at me with a cold and murderous look, so frightened that I quickly lowered my head and almost didn't sit on the ground. To this day, my legs are still shaking! It's scary!! β
"The old general Zhao next to him, although his hair and beard are gray, he is old and strong, and he is not weaker than those young descendants behind him. If General Zhao hadn't been stationed in the northwest for a long time, where would we have such a stable life? β
"And General Zhao! That figure, how burly, what a man!! On the battlefield, he is a first-class good hand, whether it is leading troops or killing the enemy, he is good. It's a pity that he fell in love with the treacherous foreigners, otherwise he wouldn't have helped the king of Laoyang County. β
"Although General Zhao is brave, he is not as powerful as the King of Yangjun! The father and son of the Zhao family have been stationed in the northwest for many years, and they have not subdued the aliens. The king of Keyang County has only been there for more than a year, and he drove those guys out of the country like chickens, and he didn't dare to do it again!! β
"Have you seen the little girl next to the emperor's holy car? That's the county lord of Jin'an, right? I heard that this spring, the royal experimental field developed a yield of four or five hundred catties of rice per mu, which was planted by the lord of Jin'an County! She has only been in office for five years, with a yield of more than 1,000 catties of corn per mu and high-yield winter wheat, so that the capital can eat fresh vegetables in winter...... Whichever one is taken out, it is all due to the community! Now the high-yielding rice is also expected to be successfully improved! Unexpectedly, these are all big things done by a young girl! β
"Yes, yes! I have a distant relative who married in the Northeast, and when he visited his relatives, he said that due to the climate, the Northeast could only grow one crop a year, and the yield was low, and there was a famine every year. Since planting corn and high-yield winter wheat, my family now dares to eat it with an open belly! β
"I heard that those big officials in Jiangnan begged the county lord of Jin'an to help improve rice seeds a few days ago. The lord of Jin'an County has a good heart, and he made dozens of acres of paddy fields on Huangzhuang in the spring, and pounded the improvement of rice seeds, but he didn't expect it to succeed all of a sudden. The yield per mu reached 500 catties, and the yield more than doubled. It is said that the lord of Jin'an is not satisfied, and is determined to improve the excellent varieties with a yield of 1,000 catties per mu! β
"Thousands of pounds per mu? You are not afraid to flash your tongue if you brag, the yield of 500 catties per mu is already quite high, and one mu produces thousands of catties of grain, do you think it is sweet potatoes and corn? β
"What are you lying about? One of my cousins is a tenant farmer in Huangzhuang, and he listened to what the county lord of Jin'an told the steward of Huangzhuang! β
"You didn't make it up? Did the county lord of Jin'an really say that? If that's the case, it's the people who will benefit in the end. When the time comes, everyone will be able to eat white rice and white noodles, and every family will have surplus food, even in a disaster year, they will not be afraid! β
"You say, will the lord of Jin'an be a virgin of good wealth in heaven? You see what she grows with high yields, what she raises spirituality, especially when she can grow vegetables that change the season, she is definitely not an ordinary person. β
"It must be that the emperor is worried about the country and the people, moved the heavens, and sent such a little fairy down to assist the emperor and establish a foundation for thousands of generations. God bless me Daming, God bless us ordinary people! β
β¦β¦
Originally, the onlookers were talking about the Western Army. At this time, all of them have become the "good wealth virgins" Jin'an County Lord.
Xiaocao didn't know that in the blink of an eye, he was rumored to be a little fairy who came down from the sky. At this time, she was watching a big drama of "adding officials to the knighthood" with great interest!
At this time, the emperor's Luan driver had already arrived in front of the palace gate. The emperor straightened his dragon robe, walked down step by step from the chariot, and ascended to the Jinluan Hall surrounded by hundreds of civil and military officials. Sit down on the dragon chair in the middle of the room.
The civil and military officials stood on both sides, and Xiaocao was in one of the inconspicuous positions, standing quietly with his head held high, and a pair of big eyes looked curiously at the scene in front of him.
At this time, in her eyes, there was only the tall and heroic general in silver armor. He reined in his horse at the palace gate, raised his right hand slightly, and the soldiers behind him stopped with the order. I saw Zhu Junyang turn over and dismount, his back straight and walked slowly, and he didn't take a single step as if he was full of murderous aura. The handsome and angry face also showed a compelling spirit because of the solemnity on the face.
Xiaocao's gaze stayed on that demonic face for a long time, and he was out fighting all the year round, his originally fair skin showed a healthy wheat color at this time, and his charming phoenix eyes burst out with a terrifying light, not angry and arrogant. The straight bridge of the nose looked like a beautiful work of art carved out of a carving knife, and even the thin lips that she thought were not so sexy also exuded a sense of majesty at this time.
The corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and her eyes showed pride - this was her man, a man who stood up to the sky! The sentence in "Journey to the West" that was recited on the street suddenly flashed in her mind: My crush, he is a hero of the world, and one day he will step on colorful auspicious clouds to pick me up...... Zixia Fairy didn't wait for her Supreme Treasure, but she waited for her own "hero of the world"!
The "hero of the world" in Xiaocao's mind has come to the Jinluan Palace step by step, step by step on the white marble stairs, and slowly stepped into the Jinluan Palace. I saw him lower his eyes slightly, and knelt down on his knees. Behind him, several meritorious generals also knelt not far away.
"Fortunately, I am not dishonored!" The words in Zhu Junyang's mouth were sonorous and powerful, concise and clear. The tiger talisman in his hand was held above his head. Su Li bent his waist, smiled, took the tiger talisman with both hands, and presented it to the emperor. At the beginning, when the tiger talisman that could command the three armies was handed over to the hands of the king of Yangjun, there were still many old ministers who were worried, for fear that he would have different intentions.
At that time, the emperor also reprimanded them for worrying too much! The emperor saw that there were outstanding people, although the king of Yangjun made great achievements and subdued the heart of the northwest border army, but he did not cherish the power in the army, and took the initiative to hand over the tiger talisman happily. Those old generals, they are really worried!
"Zhong Aiqing, hurry up! Zhong Aiqing has worked hard! "The emperor did not receive the tiger talisman, Su Li put the tiger talisman on the imperial case. Zhu Junfan raised his hand slightly, motioning for the acting chief eunuch Su Li to read out his will.
There was silence in the Jinluan Palace, and only Su Li was left reading out the emperor's edict in a slightly shrill voice. At the beginning of the edict, there were some clichΓ©s praising the outstanding achievements of the king of Yangjun, and finally there was something affordable - the king of Yangjun was named "King Xu", which obviously has the meaning of the rising sun and a bright future, and the title of the king of "Yang" has the same meaning.
Not only did he reward a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, but also expanded his fiefdom to the entire Jinwei Mansion. That is to say, in the future, all the taxes of the entire Jinwei Mansion except for the port will be owned by Zhu Junyang, the king of Xu! You must know that Jinwei Mansion is very close to the capital, and it is the top three wealthy state capitals in the Ming Dynasty. The emperor assigned this place to King Xu's fiefdom, which shows his importance and preference for King Xu!
Zhu Junyang took the edict of Huang Aya with both hands, got up after thanking him, turned to the generals outside the Jinluan Palace, and said solemnly: "This feat, this honor, is the glory of all the soldiers of our Western Army who fought bloodily, and it is the result of the desperate struggle of those brothers who were shrouded in horse leather!" Those brothers who died in battle, in addition to the emperor's reward, the king will also help take care of the old and weak women and children in the family until their children reach adulthood and start a business! β
Those hundreds of soldiers are Zhu Junyang's cronies in the army, and every single one is a warrior with one as ten. Looking at the bright yellow edict in the leader's hand and the leader's generous statement, they all boiled with enthusiasm, shouting in unison, "Long live the emperor" and "swear to defend the Ming Dynasty...... The voice resounded in the sky and shook the heavens and the earth!
The emperor looked at the soldiers who were flying in battle robes and majestic spirits, and showed a satisfied smile. These people represent the spirit of the Ming army, with such an invincible army, why is the Ming not stable, why not strong?
"Your Majesty, King Xu is inevitably suspected of being wooed, you see......" An old minister couldn't stand it. Reward the three armies, that's the emperor's business, the king of Yangjun...... No, what is King Xu's thing called? It's too overstepping, isn't it?
His words aroused the emperor's dissatisfaction. Zhu Junfan just glanced at him lightly, and said nonchalantly: "Are you doubting King Xu's loyalty?" After he took the initiative to hand over the Tiger Talisman? If it weren't for the fact that you are still conscientious and conscientious on weekdays, I would have punished you for the crime of provoking! β
"Above this court, everyone can be disloyal to me, but Junyang will not! Just because he has the ability and ability to lead the army does not mean that he will be self-respecting in the future. Don't use suspicious people, use people without doubting the truth, if Aiqing doesn't understand, go home and think about it behind closed doors! β
