Aspirations for Nation and Beauty

Chapter 1294: Entering the city

Views:

The majestic Zhongzhou City was right in front of him. Through the glass in front of the carriage, Wu Feng could clearly see the golden roc flag fluttering in the wind on top of the city. The two characters "Zhongzhou" in ancient seal script seemed to represent the new arrival of this ancient city that had lasted for thousands of years. A new owner came and sat silently in the carriage. Wu Feng seemed to feel a dizzy feeling in his head. He gently held his forehead with his hands and subconsciously rubbed his temples on both sides. At this time, he was a little afraid to face all this. Facing the people who had surrounded the west gate of the imperial capital, he had an urge to escape for a moment.

We have finally reached this point. Isn’t this the day we have been pursuing? The huge empire finally lies at his feet, and tens of millions of people have become his subjects. He is finally going to reach the pinnacle position above ten thousand people. Why is there not much excitement and excitement in his heart at this time, but instead How much more fear and confusion

The rising voices of the public brought Wu Feng back from his dazed state. Now that he was at this stage, could he still suffer from stage fright? Subconsciously shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Wu Feng took a long breath and knocked on the car door to indicate that he was ready to receive the enthusiastic welcome from the people.

The compartment door slowly opened in the hands of the charioteer, and the overwhelming cheers surged in. Wu Feng, who had been mentally prepared, was still dizzy, and even felt like he was out of breath.

"Long live! Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Long live the Tang Empire!" The noisy cheers mixed with bursts of neat shouts turned the entire west gate of the imperial capital into a sea of joy. The Situ Dynasty has come to an end and now stands in the east of Laya Continent. There will be a brand-new Datang Empire, a Datang Dynasty created by Emperor Li Wufeng!

The heavily armed Tiger Wing Army has completely isolated the people. Secret chatter from the security services spread among the population. All suspicious situations were monitored nervously, and patrol officers from the Imperial Police Station were stationed every three meters away. He waved his baton at the people to signal that they should not exceed the cordon. On the inside, Wu Feng's most trustworthy Tiger Wing Army soldiers formed a dense double line of defense to prevent anyone from daring to collide and offend.

The straight passage leads from the front of the welcome desk to the west city gate. Stepping out of the carriage, Wu Feng Hu Eyes looked around. The waving hands, the welcoming slogans, the fluttering flags, everything that comes into view can't help but make people feel excited, even Wu Feng, who is trying his best to maintain a peaceful mood, can't. Maintain a calm image in this situation.

Apart from constantly waving his hands to greet the people, Wu Feng had no other way to respond to the people's enthusiasm. The deafening shouts made it difficult for even the officials walking aside to talk. Apart from Xiao Tang and Wang Liao, those who greeted Wu Feng were: There are also representatives of the Situ family, Situ Mingzhao and Situ Yutang, and many former imperial officials such as Zeng Guohong, the former Minister of Commerce of the Tanghe Empire. Wu Feng politely agreed with them all and then boarded the open carriage that had been prepared. This is to allow the people of the imperial capital to have a clearer glimpse of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty who is about to ascend the throne, but it also brings considerable risks to Wu Feng's safety. At least the security department and the garrison are fully devoted to this. Entering the city.

The carriage was marching slowly on the Avenue of Triumph. From the moment it entered the West City Gate, a huge crowd of people had blocked all the surrounding streets. Even all the surrounding buildings were crowded with people shouting long live, His Highness the King of Qin. Finally, the empire was unified with overwhelming force, and the Tang nation would usher in a great era. This kind of remarks has already been stirred up by the media during this period, and the street teahouses and roadside taverns are also talking about the great achievements of His Royal Highness King Qin in conquering the world. It should be said that Xiao Tang and Wang Liao have mobilized public opinion in the imperial capital. Well done.

The famous Sanhuan Publishing House in the imperial capital has immediately compiled each of Li Wufeng's impressive victories since the army into a book "The Style of the King", which focuses on Li Wufeng's suppression of peasant slaves in the north and his efforts to turn the tide in the northwest. , Newly embrace Northern Luzon. Conquering Tengger, pacifying the foreign vassals, resisting Liberia, and finally completed a historic leap.

This book was written by the famous literary master and historian Luo Nai. The ups and downs in just ten years turned out to be dramatic ups and downs in his writing. As soon as the book was released, it immediately became the most popular and best-selling book in the imperial capital. Even if the printing workshop worked overtime every day, it still couldn't meet the demand. Many booksellers from other counties came to the imperial capital to order this book. Later, when they saw that they couldn't achieve their goals, they simply bought a sample and had it re-typed and printed, which immediately derived There were so many pirated copies that Sanhuan Publishing House sued several booksellers from other counties, which became the first copyright infringement lawsuit accepted by the Imperial Court after the founding of the new empire.

Wu Feng couldn't remember how many times he waved his hands. He felt as if his arms no longer belonged to him. The confident smile on his face had turned into a formulaic stiffness. He was even worried that he would keep this smile forever. No other expressions can be made. But the public's anger prevented him from facing it calmly. He could only blame the charioteer for being too slow, and the designed itinerary was even more outrageous. He actually had to parade along the main roads of the four cities. This was not peace of mind. Want to torture people to death

Wu Feng could no longer remember how he got off the carriage in the end. The biting cold wind almost froze him into a zombie. When he got off the carriage, he still couldn't move his stiff arms, and the muscles on his face were even more petrified. It was not until she returned to her own mansion that Charlotte used hot water to apply hot compresses repeatedly and massaged carefully with catkins to slowly regain consciousness.

Wu Feng did not blatantly enter the imperial city. Although all the male members of the Situ family had moved out of the imperial city, except for the widows left by the incoming Tanghe Empire Emperor Situ Mingyue, who were settled in a corner of the imperial city, all other palaces The pavilions have all been cleaned up and are waiting for the arrival of the new owner. Unfortunately, Wu Feng is not interested in taking a look at it yet. In his opinion, these superficial things do not have much value, and fame and righteousness cannot be relied on. You can get it by sitting in the imperial city.

The original Yum Palace still remains the same. Although it seems a little crowded for Wu Feng's current entourage, it can still do the job if it is tightened up. Angel returned to her parents' home after entering the capital, and Lin Yuexin also quietly left and settled in a property belonging to the Lin family in the Imperial City. Princess Anne also made the same choice. As the heir to the Jerok Principality, she stayed in the Imperial City. Having a large number of properties including a mansion is not a problem at all for Princess Anne. For the three of them, although their status was certain, it was still not in line with etiquette to live openly with Wu Feng in the imperial capital. You can do anything together as long as it's not public, but you can't stay in Ai Lang's house on the surface. This is the etiquette required by the Tang people.

Although An Qier, Lin Yuexin and Princess Anne are about to obtain their titles, there are many restrictions, but there are not so many restrictions for the other women around Wu Feng, such as Su Jie, Qin Shuangying, Yunyi, Gu Mingxia and Guan Yingying Due to the disparity in status, it is still difficult to say what kind of status they will have in Wufeng's harem. Although Wufeng loves him in every possible way, in the face of politics and the overall situation, all these children's personal interests will be different. Love can only be put in the second place. Fortunately, now that he has become the emperor, he can give his women a lot more status. This fact makes the women who are already close to Wu Feng feel more at ease. Wu Feng is not a heartless person. , I believe he can also make appropriate arrangements.

The entire Imperial City has been enveloped in a festive atmosphere. In addition to the deliberate creation of a festive atmosphere by Xiao, Wang and others who are temporarily in power, it is also due to the sincere joy of the people of the Imperial City. His Highness King Qin unified the empire and ascended the throne at the same time. It finally brought the dawn of peace to the already war-torn empire. The people of the imperial capital had been devastated by the civil war between the two guards in the northern part of the imperial capital during the last time. Although the Western Xinjiang Army arrived in time to stop this. The civil war expanded, but a large number of houses in the North City were burned to the ground, and even ordinary residential areas in the West City were implicated. Thousands of people died in this war, and the disasters caused by the rebellion also caused many gentry, nobles, and wealthy businessmen to feel the pain of looting. .

Now His Highness the King of Qin ascended the throne with unparalleled strength. Not only did he end the weak Situ Dynasty, but for the first time the entire empire's ten counties were truly under the control of the empire's central government. In addition to the other six counties of Sanjiang and Tiannan, such a vast territory will inevitably bring a huge market, which is very important to the aristocrats and gentry who are eager to transform and invest, and the businessmen who are eager to open the commodity market to obtain sufficient raw material resources. This is great news for everyone.

The powerful military force brought by His Highness the King of Qin has brought an unprecedented sense of security to the people of the empire. The fear of war and foreign invasion makes them eager to have a strong armed force to protect the country and their own security, safety and peace. The psychological needs of the people made the people worship the illustrious martial arts of His Highness the King of Qin so much that even the Liberians, who had never looked down upon the Tang people, fell into the sand under His Highness the King of Qin. The grassland nomadic cavalry who regarded the Tang people as nothing are now crawling on their knees. At the feet of His Highness the King of Qin, even the escorts when His Highness the King of Qin entered the city were all made up of nomadic cavalry. How could such a huge contrast not make them cheer for joy.
