"It's Xie Ge Lao!"

"Xie Ge is so old, and he braved the heavy snow to go out of the city to greet him, could it be that Her Majesty the Empress has returned to Beijing?"

The diners looked at the scene in front of them and their hearts were inexplicably excited.

As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king for a day, and a family cannot be without an owner for a day.

Her Majesty the Empress went to Chang'an not long after she ascended the throne, and for nearly half a year, there was no news, which was undoubtedly unacceptable to the scholars of the Zhou Kingdom.

Many scholars look forward to the stars and the moon, and they hope that one day His Majesty will return to Jinnan.

In that case, the Great Zhou Empire would at least be a complete empire, and it would not become a vassal of the Qianguo.

Now, they've finally waited for that day!

"Let's go! Let's go out of the city together to greet Her Majesty the Empress! ”

A drunken scholar raised his arms and shouted, without the slightest hesitation, and walked out of the restaurant.

The rest of the diners glanced at each other, all of them showing signs of agreement, and followed.

The same scene takes place in various shops, restaurants and mansions.

Time.

The entire Jinnan City is empty of thousands of people.

Xie Qian staggered along, looking at the crowded crowd on both sides, his vicissitudes of life showed a look of amazement.

Because he knew in his heart that he was out of the city this time to greet not only Her Majesty the Empress, but also the real ruler of the Great Zhou Dynasty now-the regent Fang Xiu!

Moreover, he had probably guessed the purpose of Fang Xiu's coming to Jinnan this time.

From now on, the Great Zhou court is afraid that it will never be able to return to its previous state.

If Fang Xiu's subordinates showed mercy, the six departments and nine secretaries of Jinnan City could still play the functions of the local government and lead most of the Zhou Kingdom.

If Fang Xiu insisted on killing them all, the ministers in Jinnan City were afraid that they would become puppets at the mercy of others.

But.

As early as when he decided to negotiate peace with Qianguo, Xie Qian thought that there would be such a day.

Therefore, he was fully prepared in his heart, just sighed leisurely, and continued to move forward with Baiguan.

Above the city gates.

A heavy and solemn drum sounded.

Peng! Peng! Peng!

Brilliant fireworks soar into the sky, blooming with beautiful pictures.

The people surrounding the street subconsciously raised their eyes to the sky, all attracted by the beautiful scenery.

On the castle tower.

A figure shrouded in black robes stood in place.

She looked down at the thousands of people, her expression was extremely serious, and she said coldly: "If something happens in the meeting, you can stop the people and protect Fang Xiu, and I am enough alone." ”

Behind.

Dozens of shadow guards had long been accustomed to the way this commander spoke, and they didn't feel strange, and saluted: "Yes, my lord! ”

Tang Rou overlooked the snowy earth, and her good-looking eyes showed a touch of amazement.

Unconsciously, she has been in Jinnan for more than a year.

Recalling the past, the picture of the assassination of Fang Xiu seemed to be still in front of him.

Now, she is still her, and Fang Xiu is still Fang Xiu.

Her identity has changed from the original assassin to the current guard, I have to say, creation makes people.

I don't know why.

Looking at the excited people of Zhou State, Tang Rou's mind inexplicably appeared with Fang Xiu's figure.

I thought to myself.

If these people knew that the person who was coming was Fang Xiu, they wouldn't have shown such enthusiasm?

Meantime.

She remembered what Fang Xiu had told her when he sent her to Jinnan a year ago, as long as she did things well, he would dissipate the poison from her and her sister in the future.

But he didn't know that Fang Xiu still remembered the promise he had made.

"It should just be a casual sentence, but I'm afraid I've forgotten it now."

Tang Rou thought so and sighed in her heart.

That's when it happened.

The drums on the towers became more and more intense.

In addition, the sounds of other musical instruments are heard, forming a magnificent and melodious tune that will excite the listeners.

The people who went out of the city listened to this magnificent song and felt even more excited.

At this moment, they were almost certain that the person who was about to arrive was their Empress Majesty!

After all, who else can have such a battle except Her Majesty the Empress?

It was at this time.

On the official road outside the city gates.

A convoy is slowly approaching.

On both sides are guards riding tall horses and wearing big hats, just at a glance you know that they are definitely the elite of the elite.

In comparison, the carriage in the middle is unremarkable.

Even so.

The onlookers were still clearly aware that inside the carriage was Her Majesty the Empress, who was about to return to Beijing.

"Here we are."

Xie Qian looked at the slowly approaching carriage, tightened the big coat on his body, glanced at the hundred officials behind him, and said, "Your Majesty and Your Highness are about to arrive in Jingshi, and you will meet with the old man." ”

All the officials responded in unison: "Yes, Ge Lao." ”

Minutes and seconds passed.

A moment later.

The carriage came to a slow stop.

Seeing this, Xie Qian walked up with a staggering step, saluted respectfully, and shouted loudly in an old voice: "Minister Council Director, Cabinet Chief Assistant Xie Qian, welcome Your Majesty and His Royal Highness back to Beijing!" ”

The voice fell.

The hundred officials behind him followed and saluted: "The ministers welcome Your Majesty and His Royal Highness back to Beijing!" ”

The movements are uniform and the sound is loud.

After hearing this, the onlookers were stunned for a moment, and a doubt arose in their hearts: "Who is Your Highness?" ”

"Which prince can be compared to His Majesty?"

Someone asked, puzzled.

No one in the crowd could answer.

There are many princes in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but most of them are decorations, but they are just some moths that the court pays for money, they do not have their own fiefdoms, and they cannot enter the court as officials.

There is no doubt that such a prince had a very low status in the imperial court.

Because, the people don't understand, which prince can make the officials greet him, and mention it with His Majesty.

The crowd chatted for a moment.

Suddenly, someone realized something and said loudly, "Could it be that the regent is also here?" ”

As soon as this remark came out.

The onlookers were silent for a moment.

Immediately afterward, an even more enthusiastic discussion erupted.

"If His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, it would be understandable for the hundred officials to do this."

"But our Royal Highness the Regent, who is also the prime minister of the Qianguo, I heard that he is still a powerful minister, and he will accompany His Majesty to our Jinnan?"

"Then again, the regent and His Majesty are husband and wife, and it is not normal for people to return to Jinnan together?"

"If he is really the regent, will he still return to Chang'an? If you stay in our Jinnan, wouldn't it mean that the alliance between the two countries will be dominated by our Great Zhou? ”

Under the propaganda of various newspapers.

Even the beggars in Jinnan City knew what kind of existence the regent Fang Xiu was.

It is no exaggeration to say that the regent Fang Xiu, as the prime minister of the Qianguo, is almost a unique existence in the court of the Qianguo.

The word "in power" is not too much to describe him.

What's even more exaggerated is that even the Great Qianshenji Battalion, which defeated the Tiger Ben Army, was also created by this regent.

Bai Qi, the commander of the cadre army, is an absolute confidant of the regent, and he was single-handedly pulled up by the regent.

So.

They clearly understood that as long as His Royal Highness the regent could stay in Jinnan, the alliance between the imperial court and the Qianguo would be the upper hand of the imperial court!

After all, even the officials of the Qianguo had to obey the orders of His Royal Highness the Regent.

With this thought, the onlookers became even more excited.

When the crowd is buzzing.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted.

A figure in a python robe stepped out of the first carriage.

He was tall, handsome, and his face was as white as jade, and just standing there, he had an indescribable sense of nobility.

Between the gestures, it reveals a natural and elegant temperament.

A woman with a stunning face followed him out of the carriage, first glanced around, and then seemed to not expect so many people to greet her, first stunned, then stood straight, and draped a black coat embroidered with dark gold python patterns on the man's body.

The black background, dark gold python pattern, and purple gold embroidered edges add a bit of solemnity and majesty to the original noble man.

There is no doubt that this man with an outstanding temperament is the husband of Her Majesty the legendary Empress, the regent of the Great Zhou, and the prime minister of the Great Qian-Fang Xiu!

"Xiangye, there are so many people."

Yang Yuhuan draped the special big hat on Fang Xiu's body, his face was serious, but in fact, he was whispering broken thoughts.

"Xiangye, it's the first time for the slave family to change Xiangye's clothes in front of so many people, so nervous......"

"I knew that so many people would greet me, and the slave family would not apply rouge, if I stole the limelight from Mrs., Mrs. would definitely blame the slave family."

"When you arrive in Jinnan, if Mrs. beats the slave family, Xiangye must protect the slave family."

Fang Xiu glanced at her and said in his heart: How do I think, instead of being nervous, you are still very excited.

I wanted to remind her that in front of the civil and military officials and the people of the Zhou Kingdom, she should be more restrained and not do something shocking.

After thinking about it, although Yang Yuhuan likes to play some tricks on weekdays, he has never made a mistake on important occasions.

So he just said: "Wait and follow the original appearance, don't run around." ”

"The slave family knows."

Yang Yuhuan nodded lightly, answered, and then tidied up Fang Xiu's clothes, and then consciously stepped aside, standing quietly, trying to make himself look less eye-catching.

Even so, many officials and people noticed her.

After all, she stepped out of the carriage this time and did not veil herself.

Such a delicate face, even if hidden in a corner, will inevitably attract the attention of many people.

"It is worthy of His Royal Highness the Regent, any little maid around him is a stunning beauty that captivates the country and the city."

Someone noticed Yang Yuhuan's appearance, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, extremely envious.

This time.

Fang Xiu stepped towards the back carriage and lifted the curtain.

"Your Majesty, there is Jinnan in front, get out of the car."

Fang Xiu looked at the cold woman in the car who had already changed into a dragon robe, and said coldly.

Li Yinyue, who was wearing a purple gold dragon robe, kept recalling the cheering voices of the people in her ears, and thousands of sighs rose in her heart, she was silent for a few seconds, and slowly got up.

When I got out of the carriage.

Fang Xiu always held her hand, just like the day the two of them got married.

He took her by the hand and led her off the sedan chair.

In Li Yinyue's memory, this was the first time she had physical contact with Fang Xiu.

It was at this moment.

Her mind suddenly flooded with vague memories.

These memories flashed like a marquee, gradually becoming clearer.

Meanwhile.

A picture came to her mind.

She was wearing a delicate and beautiful wedding dress, Fang Xiu was smiling, standing in front of the sedan chair and reaching out to support her.

That's the memory of when the two got married.

She thought that she would never be able to recall it again in her life, but she did not expect to recover this memory at this time, although there were only some scattered fragments, but it still made her feel melancholy.

"The officials and the people are watching, cheer up, Your Majesty the Empress."

Seeing Li Yingyue's absent-minded appearance, Fang Xiu lowered his voice and opened his mouth to remind.

A flash appeared in Li Yinyue's eyes, and she nodded lightly.

Let Fang Xiu take his hand, walk side by side with him, and walk towards the city gate.

The two stand together, and their appearance and temperament are excellent.

The onlookers looked at them, their hearts were surging, and they shouted:

"Long live Her Majesty the Empress! His Royal Highness the Prince Regent Chitose! ”

The sound is loud and enduring.

Li Yingyue heard the shouts of the people, and her eyes showed a flash of confusion.

Obviously, she didn't expect that she and Fang Xiu would have such a status in the hearts of the people of Great Zhou.

Fang Xiu seemed to see Li Yinyue's thoughts, thought about it, and said in a low voice: "Don't think too much, it should be arranged by Xie Qian." ”

When Li Yingyue heard this, she was stunned at first, then regained her composure and continued to move forward.

What they don't know is.

In fact, no one arranged for these people to go out of the city to greet them, and no one asked them to shout anything long live or a thousand years old.

They did so only because they were sincerely excited for the return of their Majesty and His Royal Highness the Regent to the court.

Xie Qian and the hundred officials behind him, listening to the tsunami-like shouts of the surrounding mountains, all showed a look of flickering.

At this moment, they felt inexplicable in their hearts.

For the people of Jinnan, what they want is simple.

Just a monarch who can lead them and live a stable life, that's all.

Emperor Zhou, who had already been on the throne, although he was pretending to be the people in his heart, because of his character defects, he was eager for quick success and quick profit, and he implemented a new policy not long after he ascended the throne.

It just offended the vast number of gentry, and in fact offended the unbearable people.

Nowadays, the people of Jinnan have only one wish, to live a stable life, nothing more.

There is no doubt that the appearance of Her Majesty the Empress and Her Royal Highness the Prince Regent has given them a glimpse of the light of day.

Either way, change is a good thing.

A moment later.

Li Yingyue and Fang Xiu came to the hundred officials.

Li Yinyue, who was wearing a dragon robe, looked extremely solemn, looked at Xie Qian and the hundred officials kneeling in front of her, and said in a cold voice: "Flat!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xie Qian and Baiguan responded in unison, and then stood up.

"Enter the city!"

Li Yingyue's cold voice sounded again.

Xie Qian and the hundred officials saluted one after another, and then made way for a way.

Li Yinyue and Fang Xiu continued to walk side by side, walking towards the palace step by step!

Meanwhile.

The excited shouts of the people, like a wave, resounded through Jinnan City!
