A red carpet with gold edges was spread on the steps, connecting the distance from the side rail of the ship to the shore.
The thirty-six steps must be fixed firmly without any shaking, so that His Highness can smoothly climb from the ship to the harbor and sit in the dragon chariot.
Now stepping on this step is Zhong Lilin, who is rarely wearing a formal official uniform. The dark brown official uniform is embroidered with the pattern of the two wings of the golden pheasant with light brown slightly gold thread. Accompanied by the clusters of auspicious clouds, it looks solemn and complicated.
The gold thread on this official uniform is not considered trespassing, but is a privilege only available to Taishuge officials who directly serve His Highness.
These golden threads are something that not even the Chief Executive of the Third Division can experience - although they are of no use at all.
But outside Siyang, such official uniforms are enough to make anyone dumbfounded.
Zhong Lilin stepped on the golden edge of the carpet and stood still. He inadvertently raised his hand slightly to signal Xiao Hongdou behind him to stop for the time being.
What he wears around his waist is not Taisuge's traditional wide belt, but a tight belt with a silver sword ring. Where the sword should have been, there is now only a jade flute.
This was a habit that Zhong Lilin had inherited from when he was a lieutenant in the Xiu Department. Even in Taishu Pavilion, he still wore such a tight belt.
"Wait for them to speak first, and then Your Highness will disembark."
Zhong Lilin whispered.
Little Hongdou behind him nodded repeatedly, firmly remembering this step in his heart.
This time is a comprehensive preview of His Highness's upcoming visit to Haizhou, and everything must naturally be carried out in accordance with formal etiquette.
Naturally, the top leaders of the Three Haizhou Divisions should also appear here to greet the emperor.
Sure enough, three people in different clothes were already standing at the foot of the stairs connecting the ship to the port.
"Liu Jing, Haizhou branch officer of the Ministry of National Finance, welcomes His Highness!"
The person who spoke was an older man. As the smallest department among the three departments, the National Finance Department did not have many people stationed in each state. It only relied on the branches selected by the five departments to form its own management team to complete daily tasks. collection work.
The tax collectors and soldiers who were originally the backbone of the National Finance Department and were responsible for escorting the collection of national funds had long been replaced by the appointment of top private bodyguards to complete the task as the previous General Secretary of National Finance had lost power and been imprisoned.
After the official finished his report, he respectfully took half a step back and knelt on the ground.
"The National Law Department Li Buhai, Haizhou met Haicheng Law Department Squadron Captain, Ma, Ma Mingliang, respectfully, respectfully, respectfully welcome His Highness——!"
Standing next to the previous branch secretary of the National Finance Department was a man who was obviously much younger and much more nervous.
He was wearing an ordinary National Law Division armor - as a mere squadron leader of a city's Law Division, his official rank was not even qualified enough to wear a formal uniform.
Even so, he obviously paid great attention to this "face to face". The dark blue armor on his body was polished and his boots were cleaned almost spotless.
It's a pity, how could a squadron leader think that he would have the opportunity to meet the saint in this life?
Not to mention Your Highness, even the senior official of Taishu Pavilion standing on the ship now is a figure that I will never meet in this life!
Of course he was so excited that he even stuttered when he spoke, his whole face turned red, and he stumbled and knelt down. ….
Zhong Lilin saw this and sighed slightly calmly.
He naturally knew the current situation in Haizhou, but it was a bit too dramatic for a squadron leader to face the saint.
Zhong Lilin's eyes continued to look sideways along the two men, and he was suddenly stunned.
Standing there on behalf of the National Military Division was a male soldier - he was holding a bright red handkerchief with a red tasseled helmet on a black background and silver rim.
"Lieutenant of the National Army Division, Yang Churan, welcomes His Highness!"
After the male soldier finished shouting, he knelt down on the ground, straightened his hands, and raised the helmet above his head.
Zhong Lilin naturally knew that helmet - its owner was Yang Churan.
Yang Churan found that he should be in Haizhou, but he turned out to be
You don't even come, but you just ask people to wear a helmet to meet the saint?
Zhong Lilin frowned slightly and said loudly:
"As soon as His Highness has given you permission to level up, everyone can get up and land!"
Zhong Lilin is not Han Dongwen. He is not qualified to call others "Pingsheng", so he can only end with the landing prompt.
"Let's go."
He turned around and said to Xiao Hongdou.
Little Hongdou nodded, carefully followed Zhong Lilin, and stepped onto the red carpet with gold edges.
Neither of them can step on the red part.
So they walked to the left and right, and slowly disembarked along the golden part. Yi Chengcheng followed behind Xiao Hongdou, and his movements were even more careful.
"The steps are a bit steep. The ship's weight should be heavier by then so that the steps can be flattened and more convenient for Your Highness to step on. I'll make a note of it later."
Xiao Hongdou whispered to Yi Chengcheng.
She did not forget that her purpose of coming to Haizhou this time was to rehearse for His Highness's official visit. Of course, she wanted to write down all the areas that could be improved.
She is wearing an ordinary Yingchun Palace maid uniform today - maids are not allowed to appear in such formal occasions. Even when she last visited West Asia, she could only enter and leave the Grand Duke's residence in West Asia when she needed to serve His Highness for dinner. .
Since he is not supposed to be here, he naturally has no corresponding clothes.
Fortunately, this maid uniform is very beautiful and exquisite. The crescent white lower skirt does not drag the floor, and the pale yellow coat has rabbit fur at the collar to keep out the cold. Although it is not rich, it is good-looking enough.
Every woman you can see must be attractive to your eyes. This is the only rule of Lord Wen that Han Dongwen admires.
They got off the boat, and the officials representing the Third Division were already standing in front of them.
At this time, the officials of the National Law Department and the National Finance Department were speechless. The one who could come forward to greet and report must be the National Military Department who was actually in charge of the local affairs.
"Your Majesty, I have met the Lord Supervisor."
The male soldier from the National Military Division held Yang Churan's helmet to his side and bowed his head slightly towards Zhong Lilin.
Zhong Lilin glanced at the armor style of the male soldier in front of him and roughly knew that he was a cavalry commander among the men in the army.
The Cavalry Commander, not even the Hundred Cavalry Commander.
Zhong Lilin suppressed the slight fire in his heart and asked, "Where is Jingbu Lieutenant Yang Churan? Why don't you come by yourself?"
The cavalry general replied without changing his expression: "Your Majesty, the Lieutenant, has important military matters, so I'm sorry that I can't come. Please forgive me, Lord Superintendent of the Pavilion."
Military matters... fart.
Zhong Lilin took a deep breath and nodded with a livid face:
"Okay, the first place His Highness will visit should be the Jingbu Headquarters."
Of course, the Taishu Pavilion Supervisor is a high official in name.
But Zhong Lilin, who came from the National War Department, knows very well that for the soldiers in the National War Department, such a "high official" is a representative figure who shows off his words and corpses in the eyes of the soldiers. He may have been scolded many times. times.
"This is Gu Anqi, the maid appointed by His Highness. You must take note of what she said and rectify it, so that there will be no mistakes in the future of His Highness's royal position in Haizhou."
Zhong Lilin slightly showed his hand towards Xiao Hongdou, who quickly lowered his head to signal. Unexpectedly, the cavalry commander didn't even bother to look at her, turned around and walked forward, speaking into the air:
"Sir, Lord Superintendent of the Pavilion, Lord Lieutenant ordered that the headquarters of the Jingbu Headquarters is undergoing drills today. It is inconvenient to go there. Please follow me to the Daqi Gate for a short break."
