On the eleventh day of the first month, the light snow is clear.

When the hour was approaching, there were already thousands of empty alleys in Kuizhou City, and almost all the people in the city, regardless of the Han barbarians, had already walked out of their homes, poured onto the street, and gathered on the wide and empty square in front of the Tusi Official's Office, completely filling the space of seven or eight acres of land.

Everyone's eyes are full of hope and joy, in the past few days, the city has spread the news of this matter, just today, the Long family will swear allegiance to the Dayue court in front of the whole city in front of the military and civilians.

And the imperial court also officially awarded the lord of the Long family by His Majesty the Emperor as the Sichuan Shu Great Tusi of the second grade, which became the existence of the highest status and monopoly in the Sichuan and Shu realms.

This incident alone was enough to attract the people of the city to put down everything they were in their hands and come to watch the ceremony, and what made them feel even more happy and relieved was that in this way, the dark clouds of war that were pressing on the heads of hundreds of thousands of people in Kuizhou would also completely dissipate.

You don't have to worry that the imperial court will unite with the tribes of other parties in Sichuan and Shu to attack their homeland, and pull the entire Kuizhou into endless fighting and bloodshed, which is the result that the people of the city want to see the most.

In fact, not only ordinary people, but also the soldiers and horses in this city, and the soldiers of all departments, just want their wives to live their lives peacefully, and do not want to need to use their weapons to fight to the death with the people of the same clan one day.

Therefore, before those big names appeared, the soldiers of the Long family who were guarding around the square to maintain order were all happy, and they could whisper a few words of hope for the future with the people in front of them.

When the hour officially came to Chen, with the sound of a gong, there was the sound of drum music from the Tusi official office, and then the heavy middle door was creaking, slowly opened, and a group of drummers came out first, blowing and beating, until it was located in the middle of the square in front of the three-story high platform, and then stood on the left and right, and a more festive and passionate music was scattered in all directions.

In the increasingly eager and curious eyes of the people around them, the Kuizhou Tusi they were familiar with, Long Chengbang, the head of the Long family, stepped out of the open yamen step by step, surrounded by a group of soldiers and horses.

To be honest, watching Lord Tusi come out of this official office, the surrounding soldiers and civilians still feel quite novel.

Because since the completion of this yamen, except for a few servants and others who sprinkle and sweep, there are almost few people from the Long family who are really in power to work in it, and Long Chengbang has never stepped into it.

On weekdays, no matter what affairs the Long family handles, it is to convene the leaders of all clans under them to discuss major matters, and they are used to being in their own more noble mansions, as for the official office or something, it is simply a neglected existence.

Naturally, they did this in order to send a clear signal to everyone - Kuizhou is the Kuizhou of the Long family, and the imperial court does not even have nominal governance here.

However, today, they made an exception, just because this time His Majesty the Emperor, who represented the prestige of the entire imperial court, came forward in person, so it was naturally impossible to form an alliance with them in the Long family and adopt them as before.

Long Chengbang, who was dressed in a vermilion official uniform and had a double beam and a high crown on his head, looked more energetic than before, and he didn't even need to be supported by anyone, so he had steadily climbed to the high platform, and first told the people around him the decision of the Long family to join the court in barbarian words.

When he officially announced this decision, with the high platform as the center, soon, a burst of cheers spread in all directions, and the mood of the people came to the peak.

Standing under the stone platform, Long Jingyao, who was watching all this coldly, couldn't help but have a trace of gloom in his eyes.

Although he was already expected, when he saw this scene and felt the aspirations of the people in the city, he was still quite uncomfortable: "It seems that as they said, the land of Sichuan and Shu is really comfortable, and even our people have long lost their ambition......

As he pondered, another crisp gong sounded in front of the yamen, and then a voice that dragged out his tone followed: "Your Majesty is coming—"

In an instant, the people who were still cheering and cheering quickly quieted down as if a large basin of cold water had been poured on their heads.

Almost all eyes converged on the wide open yamen, waiting for the man from above to appear in front of everyone.

Although the land of Sichuan and Shu is far away from the emperor of the sky, although most of the barbarians here did not take the emperor seriously in the past, although in fact, as early as half a month ago, many people had already seen His Majesty the emperor riding into the city from afar......

However, when this moment really came, everyone still had a trace of awe from the bottom of their hearts.

That's the emperor, the Son of Heaven, the supreme being above everyone!

Under the gaze of everyone, the figure finally flickered, first a team of honor guards, holding high melons, axes, spears and halberds and other ceremonial weapons to open the way, and then a team of elite soldiers with bright armor, full of spirit, and bearing like a long knife at their waists.

It wasn't until this group of people walked away that a Huangluo umbrella cover slowly came out under the high aloft of several wrestlers, and below the umbrella cover was a black robe, embroidered with golden mountain and river patterns, and a five-clawed golden dragon was faintly visible in the clouds.

Unlike the emperor's costumes in many film and television dramas in later generations, the emperors of all dynasties did not only wear bright yellow dragon robes, such as the former Song Dynasty, which was still vermilion, so the emperor also wore red clothes when he met the court.

In Dayue of this dynasty, it is still dark, and Sun Ning's dress is even more solemn and solemn.

Boom –

With a burst of cheers, the people watching the ceremony around, regardless of the Han barbarians, couldn't help but cheer more fiercely at this time, and some people even knelt on the ground and made a big salute to His Majesty the Emperor who was walking towards the high platform.

Feeling the excitement of the people around him, Sun Ning was also full of emotion in his heart, these are his own people, and what they show is the most simple feelings.

It's a pity that I can't wave to them now, otherwise I will be too frivolous and will only lose the face of the court.

To be honest, if it weren't for the lack of choice, he wouldn't even want to wear this solemn dress.

Wearing this thing on his body made him feel more pressed than wearing thick armor when leading troops into battle, as if this was not some imperial robe and dragon crown, but a huge shackle.

With such a strange thought, Sun Ning finally got up to the stone platform steadily amid the cheers around him, and stood with Long Chengbang, who had been waiting there for a long time, who deliberately retreated a little and gave up the most central position to His Majesty the Emperor.

Seeing this, Long Jingyao in the audience flashed again, and at the same time looked at the tribal leaders who still had a little uneasy color flashing on their faces on the left and right, and said in a low voice: "The arrow has left the string, don't look back!" ”

When these words reached the ears of the others, they all became violently agitated, and their faces suddenly became resolute......
