In Luoyang City, officials deployed the government offices.
Xiao Yan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and Cao Tong were playing chess, and they were quite relaxed. The current Daqian court only has the area near Luoyang, and most of the areas east of Luoyang are not under the control of the court.
Therefore, government affairs are not too much.
Besides, Zhao Shan personally went to Tongguan to preside over the war. He had captured the prince of Xiliang alive and was about to exchange hostages and supplies with the emperor of Xiliang. The prestige of the court was further enhanced, making it easier for the court to govern.
Xiao Yan made his move and said, "Mr. Cao is a relative of His Majesty. When His Majesty returns to the court, you still have to persuade His Majesty in private not to take such risks again."
"Your Majesty pursues Jiang Yuhuang with seven battles and seven victories. It looks good, but it is also very dangerous."
"Once His Majesty has any problems, it will affect the court."
"This is an unacceptable consequence."
Xiao Yan did not plan to personally dissuade him. In the emperor's case, remonstrance was not very effective. Unless it involved national issues, he would not express his position easily.
Cao Tong stroked his beard and said: "Xiao Shangshu, your Majesty is a young man. Young people have no blood and enterprising spirit. How can you do this? Especially since your Majesty has seven battles and seven victories, the court is shocked, the people are shocked, and the hearts of the people are united. Isn't it good?" "
"Of course."
Xiao Yan smiled and nodded. He knew the benefits of pursuing, but he shuddered at the thought of something going wrong with Zhao Shan.
"Report!"
A minor official entered and reported: "Xiao Shangshu, the army led by His Majesty is about to arrive in Luoyang in less than half an hour from Luoyang."
Xiao Yan threw away the chess pieces and said: "Mr. Cao, prepare to welcome His Majesty. I will immediately notify all the officials in the court and we will personally go out to greet you."
Cao Tong also got up to make arrangements for the Ministry of Rites.
In less than half an hour, all civil and military officials, led by Xiao Yan, came to wait outside the west gate of Luoyang.
All civil and military officials gathered together. After the news came out, many people also gathered on both sides of the official road. As a result, countless people gathered for miles outside Luoyang City to watch.
Zhao Shan returned with his army and approached Luoyang, where he saw countless people who were looking forward to it.
Zhao Shan deliberately slowed down and waved to the people around him as he walked to show his closeness to the people. When the people saw that Zhao Shan was so amiable, they were even more excited and shouted.
As Zhao Shan walked forward, an old man with one leg and a gray hair came out beside the official road and leaned on a cane. He knelt on the ground and said, "Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty."
After Zhao Shan saw this, he stopped, got off his horse, walked up to the old man, held him up and said, "What's your surname?"
The old man looked excited and stood up and said: "Your Majesty, my name is Zhang Mazi. He once followed Emperor Aizong to attack Xiliang, but one of his legs was cut off by the Xiliang people. I and other sinners will look forward to it until our death. It’s shameful.”
"Your Majesty captured the crown prince of Xiliang and defeated the emperor of Xiliang. Your Majesty is wise."
Speaking of excitement, Zhang Mazi's muddy eyes were filled with tears.
Zhao Shan sighed after hearing this.
When Daqian was founded, it was very famous and was the Daqian Celestial Dynasty. Later generations were unfilial. Zhao Yu, the Aizong of the Great Qian Dynasty, led an army to attack Xiliang, but was defeated by the then King of Xiliang and became Zhao Yu.
At the end of the war, the King of Xiliang broke away from Daqian and proclaimed himself emperor, and Daqian also had its first emperor who became a prisoner.
Zhao Shan supported Zhang Mazi and noticed that the old people in this area were lame, had broken arms, or had disabled palms.
Everyone looked at Zhao Shan with tears in their eyes.
Zhao Shan understood the identities of these people. They were all old people who participated in the Xiliang War in the past, and they all shouldered the blame.
Zhao Shan held Zhang Mazi's hand and said loudly: "Folks, don't worry, I will definitely destroy Xiliang and take revenge in my lifetime."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Zhang Mazi knelt down and saluted again.
Countless people around him shouted His Majesty's Holy Wisdom, and many people knelt down, so that the crowd was like waves of wheat, kneeling on the ground from near to far.
Countless people chanted His Majesty’s Holy Wisdom.
Zhao Shan heard this, but he didn't feel anything proud. Instead, he felt that it was very difficult for the people.
I would rather be a peace dog than a person in troubled times.
During the years of civil strife in Daqian, the people could not survive and turned into bandits. Local warlords separatist rule and kill innocent people indiscriminately. The final result is that the local people are in dire straits and the lives of the people are very difficult.
Zhao Shan just defeated Xiliang, and the people were extremely excited and felt that there was hope.
In Zhao Shan's heart, a different kind of emotion emerged.
When he traveled to Daqian and became the emperor, he not only wanted to enjoy life, but also did his best to improve the lives of the people, so that these people, who were as tough and difficult as weeds, could live a truly stable life.
This is how you live up to your life!
Zhao Shan's eyes were firm, he held up Zhang Mazi, and shouted to the people around him to get up. He solemnly said: "Please give me a little more time, folks. I will definitely clear up the chaos and restore order to the world."
"I will definitely let the villagers have their own land for the tillers, provide support for the elderly, educate the children, support the poor, and support the widows and widowers when they are lonely."
Zhao Shan said loudly: "In this life, I will live up to the common people!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
Zhang Mazi was so excited that he yelled at the top of his hoarse voice, tears welling up in his eyes.
The previous emperor was aloof, but now Zhao Shan spoke kindly, even opened a warehouse to provide relief, and truly treated them as human beings.
Daqian finally gave birth to the Son of Heaven.
"Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!!!"
The people who heard Zhao Shan's words also shouted one after another, and the shouts echoed continuously and soared into the sky. Some people even publicized Zhao Shan's words and regarded them as the future governing platform.
Zhao Shan didn't say anything more, got on his horse and continued walking forward.
The sunshine in June was a little hotter, but the golden sunshine fell on Zhao Shan, making Zhao Shan's body shine with golden light, as if a god had come to the world.
As he walked forward, countless people roared in the mountains, and the shouts of "Long Live Your Majesty" went straight into the sky.
Xiao Yan waited with the civil and military officials. When he saw the scene happening outside the city, looking at Zhao Shan paving the road with golden light, and listening to the cheers of thousands of people lingering in his ears, his heart trembled.
The emperor is truly extraordinary.
Under Zhao Shan's governance and the support of the people, Luoyang is monolithic. If anyone wants to attack Luoyang again, the people will first not agree. As long as Zhao Shan raises his arms and calls out, countless people will follow him.
Xiao Yan bowed with sincerity and said: "My minister, Xiao Yan, pays homage to Your Majesty and welcomes Your Majesty's triumphant return."
"We sincerely welcome your majesty's triumphant return."
All civil and military officials saluted.
Zhao Shan and Xiao Yan exchanged brief greetings and then ordered to enter the city. The army returned to Luoyang City, and Zhou Huhou took the Xuanjia Army to reorganize and rest. Zhao Shan took the officials back to the palace and simply handled the government affairs. The officials withdrew wisely and did not report too much on the government affairs.
Zhao Shan relaxed completely and walked directly towards Cao Mengchan's palace in the harem.
The weather in late June was quite hot. Cao Mengchan stood in front of Zhao Shan elegantly and gracefully in a gauze dress. Her eyes were warm and affectionate, and she said softly and tenderly: "I, congratulations to Your Majesty on your triumphal return."
Zhao Shan looked at Cao Mengchan.
After marriage, Cao Mengchan became more mature, her eyes were full of love and watery, which made people intoxicated.
Today's Cao Mengchan is clearly dressed carefully. The slender waist and plump breasts are completely highlighted. A cheek that is both happy and angry, with light makeup, makes people's hearts sway.
Cao Mengchan felt Zhao Shan's aggressive gaze, and before she could speak, Zhao Shan took her hand and entered the palace.
Around Zhao Shan's heels, the palace door was closed.
The palace maid on the side stepped forward wisely and quickly closed the other palace doors, causing the light in the main hall to dim slightly.
"Your Majesty, it's still daytime."
Cao Mengchan felt Zhao Shan's enthusiasm, a shy look appeared on her face, and her big watery eyes were full of spring. Newly married couples naturally know the taste of each other and know the fun of fencing as a young couple.
But Cao Mengchan was the queen, thinking it was still broad daylight, so she was very restrained.
Zhao Shan didn't care so much. He held Cao Mengchan's waist and kissed her. He quickly took hold of her and the two figures soon became entangled.
