Emperor: When will the Seventh Prince rebel? I will open the city gates to welcome him.

King Hongxuan of Zhenbei took control of the northern border defense forces.

The border guards were divided into three armies.

Together with the Yuzhou soldiers before, there were four armies in total. After doing all this, Hongxuan was not in a hurry to attack the Beishang cavalry.

Hongxuan brought his two princesses, Murong Yan and Murong Qin, back to the Zhengbei Palace in the northern border.

The location of Zhenbei Palace is Beijing City.

The people here live a hard life and their customs are relatively tough.

The population of the Northern Border City is about 150,000, and the Northern Border officials, upon hearing that the King of Zhenbei is coming,

Everyone went out of the city to welcome him, and no one dared not to welcome him. Because in the future, the entire northern border would belong to the King of Zhenbei, and the people in the northern border city would also be the subjects of the King of Zhenbei.

Before the King came

The highest official in Beijing City was named Zeng Lijing, the governor of Beiyan.

It was he who led all the officials out of the city to welcome the King of Zhenbei.

He dared not not come out to greet him, because he knew that when the King of Zhenbei was in Yuzhou, he personally killed the governor of Yuzhou.

At this moment, he was trembling at the city gate, waiting for Zhenbei King Jincheng.

I waited for two days in a row but it didn't come.

On the third day.

According to the report from the signalman, King Zhenbei will arrive in Beijing City at noon.

Zeng Buzhengshi was overjoyed and had been waiting since the morning, hoping that the King of Zhenbei would arrive.

Sure enough, at noon, King Zhenbei brought his family directly back to Beijie City from the northern border.

Hongxuan brought his two princesses and the women rescued from the Wolf Gang, and rescued adopted boys and girls along the way.

Accompanying him were a thousand Qilin Guards.

As for the rest of the troops, they are all in the north.

In a luxurious carriage,

Two beautiful women snuggled in the arms of Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan

The King of Zhenbei looked at his two concubines lovingly.

"Yan'er, Qin'er! Princesses, you must have been exhausted on the journey!"

Murong Yan looked at her husband lovingly, and King Zhenbei said:

"My dear husband, you have been commanding the soldiers to fight all the way, leading the way, and taking care of me and my sister. If we are not tired, you are the one who is most tired!"

Murong Qing also looked at the King of Zhenbei infatuatedly and said, "My husband, when you arrive at the King of Zhenbei's mansion, my sister and I will serve you well!"

With Qilin as the escort, hundreds of carriage drivers carrying food, gold, silver and other items came to the Northern Border City with the King of Zhenbei.

As soon as the army of King Zhenbei approached the gate of the northern border, Zeng Lijing led all the officials to kneel down and kowtow.

"Your humble servant, the Provincial Governor Zeng Lijing, leads all the officials to respectfully welcome the King of Zhenbei to the northern border!"

Zeng Lijing trembled as he greeted the arrival of King Zhenbei.

Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan got off the carriage.

With a warm smile on his face, he helped the governor Zeng Lijing up.

"Everyone get up!"

"Governor Zeng, you and the officials and the people do not need to go out of the city to welcome the king. Just take them back first!"

Zeng Lijing responded respectfully:

"It's the King of Zhenbei. I will lead the people back now!"

Zeng Lijing immediately led the people back to the northern city. He knew that he had passed this hurdle.

No matter what kind of official he was in the past, whether he was an honest official or a corrupt official, Hongxuan did not embarrass him, but asked him to lead the people back, which explained everything.

This shows that Zhenbei King Hong Xun has accepted him.

Zeng Lijing knew clearly that

When the Prince of Zhenbei arrived in Yuzhou, he beheaded the governor Song without thinking twice, and all the thirty court officials in Yuzhou city were beheaded as well.

This terrible news was not only known to Governor Zeng,

All officials in the northern border knew about it, so Governor Zeng barely said hello, and all officials obediently waited outside the city to greet him.

A man's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. The King of Zhenbei gained his fame through his iron-blooded tactics.

Hongxuan was actually very clear about it in his heart.

If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. It is impossible for him to make all the officials in the government to be honest. If that were the case, the entire court would not be able to function.

The original official system of Dafeng was that you could become a higher official only if you had ability and money. If you had ability but no money, and you did not accept bribes, then you could not be integrated into their official system at all.

Therefore, the higher an official holds, the more greedy he becomes.

This is also the reason why Hongxuan did not kill all the prefects and county magistrates in Yuzhou, because corrupt officials can never be killed completely.

Hongxuan has just entered the northern border, and Yuzhou will also be his affiliated territory in the future.

So for now he has to learn how to use people.

It was when he was in Yuzhou that he killed the governor of Song and those officials.

The purpose was not to gain much silver, but to establish their prestige and make the officials and officers in the cities of Yuzhou afraid of them.

Only if they are afraid of their own many policies and orders, can reforms be easily implemented.

After the Zhenbei King's carriage entered the city,

Under the guidance of the officials, he arrived at his own mansion in the Northern City.

The entire Zhenbei King's residence has been built to be extremely luxurious.

Although the palaces are continuous, the area they cover is very large.

There are not allowed to be any civilians within a radius of fifty miles from the entire palace.

The territory of Zhenbei Palace is within 50 kilometers.

After Hongxuan arrived at the Zhenbei Palace, he was also shocked by the luxurious decorations inside.

Not only was he shocked, but even Murong Yan, Murong Qing and the three hundred female giants who followed him were shocked. It was really too luxurious, and it was only slightly different from the capital of Dafeng.

The palaces are continuous and huge.

"When were these buildings built? This is my first time in Beijing, and I didn't expect the Zhenbei Palace to be so luxurious. It's actually comparable to the Imperial City of Dafeng."

Hongxuan couldn't help but sigh, because this was really shocking.

Within a range of 50 meters, this is a restricted area, all of them are inside. The soldiers of Beiyan are guarding here, and now Qilin has come here to participate in the task of guarding.

"Your Majesty, I never thought that the Zhenbei Palace would be so luxurious. What's the difference between this and the imperial palace?"

After Hongxuan saw such a luxurious palace complex.

"There is indeed no difference. When I ascend the throne in the future, I will set up the capital directly in the land of Northern Yan. This northern border will be my capital."

Hong Xuan's words directly shocked Murong Yan, Murong Qin, and the Qilin Guards beside him, but after being shocked, they were extremely happy.

Unexpectedly, the King of Zhenbei already had the heart and intention of an emperor.

If Hongxuan, who had just come out of Dafeng with only a thousand veterans, said such a thing,

Then he would only be despised and even mercilessly ridiculed, but now Hongxuan has completely grown up, and not only all the princes but also Emperor Dingwen have felt his power.

Who can be an enemy of the hundreds of thousands of troops under Hongxuan's command in the northern border?

As soon as he arrived, even the soldiers of Beishang did not dare to act rashly in the northern border, but waited for an opportunity.

In fact, Yun Yi, the national teacher of Beishang, had already known that after Hongxuan came to the northern border, they would never be able to attack Dafeng again.

There will never be another chance to attack Dafeng.
