The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 51
On April 24th in the [-]th year of Tai'an, Yuanyang Fucheng.

A shed was erected outside the east gate at this moment, and a group of officials stood outside the shed, waiting for the arrival of His Royal Highness King Yong.

On their left and right sides, there are elite soldiers invited from the capital according to the rules, responsible for maintaining the security and order of the scene.

The common people were driven far away, so they could only climb to the trees to look around, and join in the excitement of welcoming King Yong in person.

Early summer has arrived, and the sun is so warm that it ticks off the sleepy bugs of the officials.

But even if they were sleepy again, the dozens of officials present had to cheer up and not make mistakes at critical moments.

Finally, a soldier galloped over on horseback. After dismounting, he walked quickly to the arbor, and reported to the big brothers: "My lords, His Royal Highness King Yong is still three miles away!"

This is already an extremely short distance, and the Lord will arrive in a moment and a half.

The officials got up their spirits and after arranging their official robes, they saw the banners flying in the distance.

This is the guard of honor of the palace, and King Yong has arrived.

The team in the distance moved forward slowly, and after only 7 minutes, the Wangfu team came to the east gate.

Dozens of guards of honor from the palace lined up on both sides of the road, and Zhao Yanxun's king came to the center.

Longyou officials hurried forward, Tian Jingtong walked in the front, and stopped only ten feet away from the carriage.

Several young eunuchs moved the ladders for getting off the carriage, and Lin Quan, the team leader, stepped forward carefully and slowly pulled up the curtain of the carriage.

At the same time, the two senior officials of the palace also appeared on both sides of the carriage, so that they would not be absent on important occasions.

Inside the carriage, Zhao Yanxun got up slowly, and then leaned out from inside.

I saw him wearing a black gauze wing crown, a blue dragon robe with a round collar, a jade belt around his waist, and soap boots on his feet.

Even the officials who had prejudice against him, seeing the demeanor of the young feudal lord at this moment, had to praise him as a handsome and handsome young man.

"Your Majesty is welcome!"

Under the leadership of Tian Jingtong, all the officials bowed down, and the scene was spectacular.

Zhao Yanxun got off the carriage, Zhou Chengping and Guan Hetai hurried forward, both of them were also wearing official robes.

Coming in front of Tian Jingtong, Zhao Yanxun personally helped the big man up, and said at the same time: "Master Tian, ​​please rise up, my lords, please rise up!"

When Tian Jingtong was lifted up, the rest of the officials also stood up.

"My lords gathered to greet you, and I am very touched, thank you all!" Zhao Yanxun said with a smile.

He didn't show the prince's profile, this was his first contact with Longyou official circles, and he wanted to leave a good impression on the other party.

After all, we still have to work together in the future, and as long as there is an opportunity, we should draw in the relationship. This is a rare and good opportunity right now.

"Your Highness is exhausted, please serve tea!" Tian Jingtong said with a smile.

These people present are all veterans who have been in the officialdom for many years. The smiles on their faces are partly real and partly fake, which is actually a kind of metaphysics.

As a matter of fact, these officials all knew about Zhao Yanxun's stay in Yuntangshan, and the fatigue of the horses and horses was a joke.

When I came to the pergola with the officials, a square table was set up inside, but only seats were set up on the north and south sides.

Therefore, the only person who can drink tea with Zhao Yanxun is Governor Tian Jing.

But Zhao Yanxun didn't want to drink tea with Tian Jing, if conditions permit, he would rather drink with these officials.

In the current way of socializing in the world, drinking is undoubtedly the fastest way to get closer.

But these Zhao Yanxun can only think about it, on this occasion, drinking is definitely impossible.

After Zhao Yanxun took his seat, Tian Jingtong sat opposite him, and at this moment a servant came forward with a tray and put two cups of tea on the table.

"Your Highness, please..."

There is actually no fixed procedure for the ceremony of welcoming the vassal king into the vassal state, so the whole process is decided by Tian Jingtong.

At this moment, it is simply a cup of tea, without even a pastry as a decoration, which already shows Tian Jingtong's indifferent attitude.

But Zhao Yanxun couldn't grasp his attitude.

Tian Jingtong is a great official in the frontier, if others can easily see through his thoughts, then he will not be able to get this position.

The two drank tea together, and the next thing was simple.

After a burst of nonsense nonsense, the whole welcoming ceremony was over.

Zhao Yanxun originally wanted to chat with the officials, but Tian Jingtong didn't give him a chance at all, so he dismissed the officials because the yamen was busy with official duties.

"Your Highness, now outside the northwest border, the war between our Dajin and the Hu people has never stopped, and each yamen has its own affairs!"

"Such as transshipment of grain, ordnance, horses and chariots...there are so many of them, I don't know how I have been so busy these past few months!" Tian Jingtong stroked his forehead.

However, Zhao Yanxun grasped the key words and transported food, grass and military equipment. These things are extremely in short supply in the last days.

So Zhao Yanxun paid attention to this matter, and in the future, he would find a way to figure out the route to transfer the military supplies and weapons.

After the zombie outbreak, these rations and weapons will inevitably be abandoned, and he can take them as his own.

"Master Tian, ​​you should pay attention to rest, the burden of Longyou is all on your shoulders!" Zhao Yanxun comforted.

Today, Zhao Yanxun is approachable and approachable, and he has indeed received favor from the Longyou official circles, at least this is different from the supercilious vassal king in his impression.

The welcoming ceremony ended like this, and Zhao Yanxun's convoy was able to enter the city after the Longyou officials dispersed.

Prince Yong's Mansion is located in Xicheng, covering an area of ​​more than [-] mu. Emperor Taizong of the Jin Dynasty, who was still the King of Qin, lived here when he buried his residence.

Later, when the imperial court cut down the vassals, Emperor Taizong raised troops in the name of the Qing emperor, and after he was able to enter the imperial city, the Qin Palace was left vacant.

Since Emperor Taizong, no one in the royal family has been entrusted with the title of King Qin, and even the land of Longyou is no longer a feudal land.

After more than a hundred years, Yuanyang Mansion finally ushered in a new feudal lord.

For such an unprecedented novelty, it is normal for the common people to want to join in the fun and be extravagant, but it is a pity that the government will not give them a chance.

The streets leading from the east gate to the palace were all cleared by the government servants, and even the shops on the street were not allowed to open.

Along the way, Wangfu's convoy walked very quietly.

Inside the carriage, Xue Baoyun looked at the city where he didn't know how long he would live through the gap in the window.

"Your Majesty, you're finally here, you can have a good night's sleep!" the maid Yu Zhu said with a smile on her face.

Xue Baoyun's face was calm, and he said slowly: "That's not necessarily true, I'm afraid there will only be more things to worry about in the future!"

I don't know how much energy it will take to help my husband return to the capital.

What's more, the doomsday that Zhao Yanxun said was also remembered by Xue Baojun, although she still didn't want to believe it was true.

She needs to be more thoughtful, which is why she feels that the road ahead is not smooth.

But for a simple-minded person like Huang Rongrong, she only cares about seeing new things at the moment, and the new city of Yuanyang is full of scenery for her.

"I just don't know if it's suitable to live in the palace!" Huang Rongrong pouted.

"Your Majesty, we brought all the things you had when you were at your mother's house, so don't worry!" the maid Lan'er said hastily.

Huang Rongrong brought all the belongings from her natal family's boudoir, and she can completely restore her boudoir to the palace.
