Become a feudal king from today

Yancheng. ReadМ

Zhao Xu, Liu Fu and other officials from the four northern counties were already waiting at the south gate.

As soon as Zhongli arrived at Qinguan, he sent his cavalry to tell him the news of Zhao Heng's rescue.

Then they continued to send people back and forth to deliver news, including the fact that Zhao Heng was driving to Yancheng.

So, he handed over the war at Ningjin Dusi to Chang Wei and returned to Yancheng to greet him.

"I didn't expect that the hot air balloon built by this boy Wang Chong would be of great use. Mr. Wang, you gave birth to a good son." Liu Fu glanced back at Wang Ying who was standing behind him and flattered him.

Wang Ying grinned, showing his white teeth. He had always been strict with Wang Chong and expected his children to succeed.

He was naturally very happy to be praised so much by Liu Fu.

However, he knew clearly that without the guidance of King Yan, how could Wang Chong understand this thing.

Then he said: "This is the result of Your Highness's training. Uncut jade also needs to be carved before it can be made into a tool."

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

Looking at King Yan, he showed admiration.

For them, Beidi's east-west attack strategy was a divine strategy.

No one could crack it.

But Beidi Khan happened to meet their King Yan.

Not only did the east suffer heavy losses, but the west's plan to round up their emperor also failed due to the presence of the hot air balloon.

They could even imagine Mulehon looking furious.

"Hahaha, you're right. Your Highness is the most powerful. Your Highness, my admiration for you is no longer like the water of the Jin River rolling in, but like the waves of the sea, covering the sky and the sun." Liu Fu leaned forward and held his hand to Zhao Xu, who was standing in front of him.

Zhu Tuo and other government officials felt a chill when they heard this. Liu Wangfu's horse skills were getting better and better.

Zhao Xu smiled softly.

Liu Fun can flatter him in public, which shows that he is in a good mood now.

In addition to Liu Fu, all the officials who came to greet him this time were also smiling.

This was not because of the excitement due to the arrival of Emperor Zhao Heng.

But after Zhongli rescued the emperor, Beidi's plan to go south basically failed.

They also knew that if the Dasong Emperor was captured, Dasong would be divided from within.

At that time, there will really be nothing to stop Beidi from going south.

As the saying goes, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold.

The current trade in the four northern counties still needs to rely on Dasong.

Until an alternative is found, it is best to maintain the status quo.

"coming!"

Everyone was talking and laughing when Liu Fu suddenly pointed to the end of the official road.

A group of cavalry appeared at the end of the road.

These cavalrymen came slowly, holding high five-color flags.

Seeing this, Zhao Xu and the officials straightened their clothes.

Zhao Heng is the Emperor of Dasong, so basic etiquette is still required.

"Let's go."

Throwing down his sleeves, Zhao Xu led the officials and walked forward.

According to the regulations of Dasong, the vassal king could not wait at the city gate to greet the emperor.

Instead, he wanted to lead the palace officials two miles forward.

Zhao Xu walked out in one step, and other officials followed.

Two-quarters of an hour later, they arrived at the marked spot.

Zhao Heng's car also stopped in front of them.

"My lord, Zhao Xu, see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live the emperor." Zhao Xu shouted.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live..." Liu Fu and other officials followed closely and shouted.

While driving, Zhao Heng showed a satisfied smile, and he could hear Zhao Xu's voice.

Lifting the curtain, Zhao Heng got off the car.

Looking at Zhao Xu, he helped him up with his own hands and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are exempt from the courtesy."

The tone was very cordial.

"Thank you, father." Zhao Xu stood up and looked at Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng's appearance in his memory gradually merged with the Great Song Emperor in front of him.

This is the first time he has seen the Emperor Dasong since time travel.

Emotionally, he was very calm, neither sad nor happy.

Not to mention that the Ninth Prince's memory of his father was only the fear of the king as a minister, but no feeling of family affection.

The relationship between him and the emperor was purely one of interest.

The incident involving the Jinling and Beidi envoys last time made him even more disappointed with the emperor.

He has been put in the same basket as the foolish kings of all dynasties.

"My son, I came late to save you. I hope my father will punish me." Zhao Xu said another polite word.

Zhao Heng laughed, "It's not too late, it's not too late. Your Majesty sent someone to rescue you. They came at the right time. I will reward you heavily this time."

While talking, he looked at Zhao Xu repeatedly.

At this time, Zhao Xu was respectful and polite, with lively eyes.

He is completely different from when he was crazy and stupid when he was in the capital.

Seeing this, he just felt that God was playing tricks on people.

At the same time, he was a little lucky. If he hadn't accidentally intervened, he would have fallen into the hands of Beidi in this war.

Zhao Heng's words made Liu Fu look happy.

They naturally hope that King Yan will get a big reward.

Moreover, King Yan is worthy of this reward.

"Thank you, father. The emperor is in danger, and I should do my best to save him." Zhao Xu was not as happy as Liu Fu and others.

He actually had his own plan when he invited Zhao Heng to come to Yanzhou.

This time when Chang Wei was ordered to go south to Fan Yang and expel the Yuan family's forces from Yanzhou, the first step of the plan was launched.

The second step is to let Zhao Heng come to Yanzhou.

He knew that the war was not over yet, and it was impossible for the emperor, who was so happy with his achievements, to escape back to Jinling in despair.

And once he comes, the rest will be easy.

The father and son exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Zhao Xu formally welcomed Zhao Heng into Yancheng.

Sitting on the imperial carriage, Zhao Heng looked at Yancheng through the gap in the curtains.

Since he ascended the throne, he had only visited the south of Jinling and never visited the north.

During this Northern Expedition and all the way from Sizhou to Yanzhou, he deeply felt that compared with the rich south, the north was relatively poor.

Especially after entering Yanzhou, he even felt a sense of desolation.

The only thing that surprised him was that although the people in the land of King Yan had no better food, clothing and daily expenses than in the south.

These people were all full of energy, as if a bright future was waiting for them.

"Compared with Jinling, it's really a world of difference." After just observing for a while, Zhao Heng closed his eyes.

The countryside was like this, and Yancheng was not beyond his expectations.

The wide streets of Jinling were full of carriages and horses, and people wearing silk and satin were like crucian carp crossing the river.

The shops on both sides of the street were luxurious and spacious, with carved beams and painted buildings, and bustling with people.

There are also countless talented men and beautiful women wandering in the streets.

And here, there are only more merchants coming and going.

"In such a barren land, the King of Yan can achieve what he has now. He is really capable." Zhao Heng pondered.

Thinking of something, he said again: "After all, the King of Yan still relies on trade. With only these four barren counties, I am afraid that he can't even pay the soldiers' salaries."

Thinking of this, he nodded secretly.

This time the Northern Expedition was defeated, and the imperial army he established suffered heavy losses.

The King of Yan became more important at this time.

Next, he might need the King of Yan, the Dinghaishen, to suppress the powerful families internally and fight against the Beidi externally.

Therefore, knowing the weakness of the King of Yan, he was not afraid that the King of Yan would be out of his control.
