Chapter 1193: The Emperor's Triumph (Part I)
On September 27, shortly after dawn, the city of Luoyang was already full of people.
Whether it is the dignitaries in the city, or the pawns of the peddlers, after dawn, they all poured out of their homes, walked on the streets, and then directly hit the north out of the capital of Dayue, and converged on the northern suburbs ten miles away from here.
With the passage of time, the number of people gathered in the northern suburbs of Luoyang increased, and finally reached an astonishing tens of thousands, all of whom needed to be specially arranged by the imperial court to maintain order in the capital.
However, no one in the northern suburbs of Luoyang today made any trouble, not even the petty theft that could be seen at any time in the lively places in the past, everyone was there looking forward to the end of the official road that led to the north, waiting for the triumphant return of their Emperor Majesty.
Yes, today is the great day when the current emperor of the Northern Expedition finally returned victoriously.
As early as a few days ago, the DPRK and China had already received a series of encouraging good news, and this news was immediately publicized by officials and others, which naturally attracted jubilation all over the city.
You must know that in the past 30 years, the ghost Rong in the north has always been a problem for the henchmen of Dayue, especially in the past ten years, as they suddenly invaded the northern Xinjiang and occupied a large area north of the Yellow River, it made the Han people in the world even more worried.
For the people of Luoyang, those ghost iron horses north of the Yellow River are a sharp sword that may fall at any time and hang above their heads. This feeling of panic all day long, whether under the rule of the Pingtian Army or returning to the rule of the imperial court, is profound.
And today, His Majesty the Emperor in front finally killed the Guirong people in defeat and fled, and withdrew from the northern border pass, such news is naturally enough to make any Luoyang person breathe a sigh of relief, and cheer excitedly. His Majesty the Emperor, who can ensure the peace of the world in this way, will naturally be respected and supported by all the people.
It can be said that many people went out of the city to greet His Majesty the Emperor today, and it was completely spontaneous, and they wanted to express their gratitude and respect to His Majesty the Emperor who saved them from fire and water with such practical actions.
After feeling the attitude of the people around him, the court officials led by Shen Zhou were also very happy.
"Your Majesty can be so popular with the people, it is really a blessing for me to be able to win the hearts of the people...... Shen Zhou sighed deeply, "I think that after coming today, the world will be peaceful, whether it is our officials or the people of the world, they can live a good life."
"Yes, after today, there will be no more war in the world, and the soldiers, as well as the people everywhere, can really rest assured and live a stable life." Xiao Changyong, the right minister who stood side by side with him, also said with emotion.
However, his expression was a little sad after all.
Because he thought of Xiao Keding, the eldest son who died in Ludi not long ago, although the general inevitably died before the battle, and the imperial court also wantonly pursued and rewarded him heavily, and the second son Xiao Kedi made a greater contribution because of this. However, as an elderly father, after learning the news of the death of his eldest son, he felt extremely sad after all.
At this time, Xiao Changyong looked very old, if it weren't for Shen Zhou next to him to help him, he really wouldn't have lasted so long.
Behind them, more officials were whispering, excitedly expressing their agitated emotions.
Today's Luoyang City has once again become the most important place in the world, the real capital of Dayue.
At the same time that Sun Ning drove his own expedition and led the troops to the north, the court officials who had stayed in Jinling before began to relocate.
Although for some reason, there are still many court officials who cannot accept such an arrangement from the imperial court, there are too many officials who are from the south, and they are used to the climate of Jinling and the various networks of Jinling and Jiangnan. Now that the imperial court suddenly wants them to move from Jinling to Luoyang, there are too many unaccustomed habits after all.
However, after all, Luoyang has been the capital of Dayue for hundreds of years, and returning to Luoyang is a legitimate event. After all, this is not the emperor's strategy to move the capital as soon as his mind is hot, so no matter how much he disagrees, under such a general trend, the ministers can only obey.
Then tens of thousands of people crossed the Yangtze River and the Huai River, and it took half a year to enter Luoyang by land and water.
Such a forced arrangement has made many people until now
He also expressed his dissatisfaction in private, but these voices of discussion completely disappeared with the great victory of the battle at the front and the triumph of His Majesty the Emperor.
Because this victory was the largest victory in the foreign war of the Dayue Imperial Court in a hundred years, and it made Sun Ning, the current emperor, reach the highest point of prestige.
At this time, if anyone dares to raise even the slightest objection to His Majesty's will and decision, there is no need for the emperor to order it, and the people of the world alone can take action to kill this rebellious female thief.
Therefore, almost all the officials in Luoyang have come out today, and none of them waiting on the side of the road dare to mention whether they are accustomed to coming to Luoyang, they are all sighing about the significance of this victory to the world, they are all praising the great achievements of His Majesty the Emperor, and imagining the beautiful scene of the revival of Dayue and the peace of the world in the future.
As for the people, they were more excited and jubilant.
After waiting like this for more than two hours, it was near noon, when smoke and dust suddenly rose at the end of the road ahead, and then dozens of fast horses galloped forward.
When they saw the vast crowds waiting on the side of the road, the knights who came to lead the way and deliver the news were all stunned for a moment, and then slowed down slightly, and shouted at the row of Zhu Zi*** people in front of the team: "Your Majesty has returned to Beijing, the car has been ten miles away, you are ready to drive——"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd erupted into cheers again, and a moment later, with the guidance of some people, the originally chaotic shouts turned into uniform cheers: "Congratulations to Your Majesty's triumphant return to Beijing, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live, long live—"
Tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, the sound of this wave is comparable to thunder, the sound is rolling in all directions, not only everyone in Luoyang City behind them heard this stirring cheer, even ten miles away, Sun Ning, who was riding a horse, also heard it clearly.
This made him raise his eyebrows slightly, and then his spirits lifted, and he laughed: "Soldiers, the fathers and villagers of Luoyang are waiting for us, so let's go over with me and meet them well!"
After that, without waiting for the others to react, he had already kicked the snow-white Shenjun under his crotch, without half a stray hair, and as soon as he increased his speed, he rushed straight forward along the flat official road.
At this time, the soldiers of the forbidden army who accompanied them were not lightly frightened, they shouted one after another, and quickly increased their speed, followed by the emperor and quickly rushed towards Luoyang City, which was faintly visible in the south, and then there were thousands of troops behind them......
