As Luo Ming expected, the welcome he received was not too large.

For example, what is cleaning the streets, retiring the public, and civilian representatives offering flowers, etc.

Such a high-level welcome is generally only used to welcome distinguished guests such as the king and prince of a country, or to welcome a triumphant army.

After all, this city does not belong to a specific person, and what must be said belongs to the emperor himself, and even the emperor himself has a lot of scruples.

For example, the citizen class of the City of a Thousand Towers - the residents of the City of a Thousand Towers, excluding the nobles and other people who are serious, there are still at least 60,000 ordinary citizens, and there may be thousands or even tens of thousands of people who are not included in the official household registration statistics, and their composition is also extremely complex.

You must know that in this era, even civilians have a reasonable and legal right to hold swords and bows, and although crossbows and spear armor are regulated to a certain extent, it is difficult to fully implement them.

Not to mention that the empire was already developed in the handicraft industry, and many civilian workshops had the ability to manufacture these important weapons.

And most of the soldiers are also related to the people, and some soldiers are simply wealthy citizens who bring their own weapons and armor and serve for a period of time every year.

In the history of the Anson Empire, there have been two times when the whole city rioted, and even the emperor had to find a way to pacify them, but there was no way to completely suppress them.

If it has to be suppressed with an iron fist, even if it can win, the military will suffer huge unnecessary damage, and this precious city will be seriously damaged, the strength of the royal family will be greatly damaged, and the people's hearts will be lost.

On another occasion, a crown prince who had been falsely accused and had his inheritance revoked, with his great influence among the lower citizens, temporarily organized a large army in the city to attack the imperial palace.

Although this "big army" is basically a rabble, it is really huge, and at this time, many powerful people in the imperial capital chose to wait and see, which directly frightened his younger brother, who had just inherited the throne by intrigue and trickery, fled with his cronies.

The deposed emperor was later captured and executed, but left behind an heir, and to this day, people claiming to be descendants of the deposed emperor often appear in various rebellions and conspiracies, reminding people of the history of that battle.

The burghers also took the opportunity to gain greater prestige and power.

Anyway, nowadays, the consensus of the royal family members is that they cannot casually offend a large number of citizens, and at the same time, they are not allowed to associate with a large number of citizens casually.

Even when the emperor was discussing major policies, he often invited some representatives of the townspeople, along with representatives of the nobility, churches, and merchants.

In Loming's view, this is already the rudiments of hierarchical parliamentary democracy. This is not a question of purely progressive thinking, but an inevitability under the balance of power.

To get back to the point, although Luo Ming's team was quite ostentatious, and even did a special cleaning and maintenance of the car and soldier armor before entering the city, which looked gorgeous and mighty, the citizens on both sides of the road were not too surprised.

Although they may not be able to provoke the nobles alone, if they are united, the nobles cannot oppress them at will, and in the imperial capital, they have long been accustomed to seeing all kinds of nobles, and their awe has decreased a lot.

Compared with the simple armor and chariot, it is the flag and coat of arms of Luo Ming that are more eye-catching.

When Luo Ming first became a knight, the banner and coat of arms were very simple, but as he gradually expanded his power and established great deeds, he naturally recorded these glorious histories on the coat of arms.

And his coat of arms is very different from the average nobleman.
