Outside the imperial capital Luoyang.
Zhuge Shang had already received the news of Zhao Shan's triumphant return and had already reported it to Queen Cao Mengchan. At the same time, he brought all the civil and military officials to the outside of Luoyang City to greet him.
Once upon a time, Zhao Shan's triumphant return was very strange and shocking.
Now it has become commonplace.
The emperor went on campaign for many years, often attacking his subordinates and fighting barbarians, but he always won.
It would be strange if he did not win the battle.
Although victory is not uncommon, there are still many people gathered outside Luoyang City.
Countless people came to watch the fun, chatting in twos and threes, talking about Zhao Shan's victory in the battle, and also talking about the time they came to watch Zhao Shan's triumphant return.
In the early years, Zhao Shan defeated the Xiliang army and returned triumphantly. The people felt proud and proud that Daqian could win. They had a sense of excitement after depression and a sense of accomplishment in rising up and working hard.
Nowadays, the mentality of the people has changed, and they are proud from the bottom of their hearts.
All the people are proud to be the people of Daqian and are happy for Daqian's victory.
This is the impact on the spiritual level of the people.
In fact, the overall strength of the court and the overall strength of the country will affect the mental outlook of the people all over the world.
In a country that is poor and weak, the people are weak, wars are everywhere, and wolves are in power, then the people will not be confident in their bones. When I see that the country outside is good, I rush to think that the outside world is the truth, deny everything about myself, and think that everything about myself is wrong.
Even reincarnation is wrong.
In a prosperous country, the people are filled with self-confidence and feel proud everywhere. They will not have any fear, let alone self-doubt. They will not think that everything is their fault, and they will not reflect on everything.
For example, in the Tang Dynasty after Zhenguan, all nations came to the dynasty and the prosperity was magnificent.
The hearts and minds of the people are just different.
Zhuge Shang stood at the front of the civil and military officials, looking at the densely packed people outside the city, and suddenly laughed, with a look of joy on his face.
He looked at Xiao Yan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and said with emotion: "Xiao Shangshu, every time His Majesty returns in triumph, more people come. This time is no exception, and there are more and more people. The soldiers reported that the team to greet His Majesty , extending to ten miles away."
Xiao Yan was getting older, stroking his beard and said excitedly: "I never thought that Daqian could still have such a prosperous life. This is all due to His Majesty."
Cao Tong was old, but he also straightened his back and said loudly: "In the past few years, Daqian was in chaos. The people were in danger, and there were even situations where people exchanged their sons for food. Now Daqian is getting better and better. Things are going well in the local area, the people are living and working in peace and contentment, and the bandits have been suppressed, and things are finally getting better and better. I hope that I can see the great unity of the world in my lifetime."
Zhuge Shang said solemnly: "Cao Shangshu can definitely see it."
Cao Tong's slightly cloudy eyes also showed a trace of expectation, and he said: "I hope so!"
"Your Majesty is here!"
The people beside the official road in front became restless, and some people cheered.
Heads clenched and people crowded forward quickly.
Zhuge Shang noticed the movement among the people and looked ahead. He saw a dark army returning quickly on the official road far ahead.
Fortunately, there were people watching on both sides of the official road to prevent people from intruding, so there was no trouble.
Zhao Shan returned triumphantly, and the people around him shouted long live, and the shouts came and went, lingering around him.
Its momentum soared into the sky.
Zhao Shan looked at the condition of the people, feeling happy and even prouder.
This is his diligent goal, to let the people live a life where they no longer have to worry about three meals a day.
This is the most basic requirement.
Even so, it is still quite difficult to achieve it in this era, and there are too many ways to go.
As Zhao Shan walked, he said hello and nodded to the people who greeted him. He came outside the city, accepted the audience of Zhuge Shang and others, briefly encouraged the officials for their achievements in the rear, and then led the army into the city.
The mighty army entered the city, and Li Buyi went to place the soldiers in the army.
Zhao Shan returned with all the civil and military officials.
Jiang Yuhuang returned to her own palace.
Zhao Shan directly informed Cao Mengchan and asked Cao Mengchan to arrange Wan Yanzhi's affairs before meeting Zhuge Shang to understand the government affairs in the DPRK.
Zhao Shan first listened to Zhuge Shang's report and learned that everything in the rear was normal and there were no surprises.
Zhuge still has this ability.
With Zhuge Shang at the rear, Zhao Shan didn't need to worry.
Zhao Shan changed the topic and asked: "Zhuge Qing, I sent an order to the Northern Wei Dynasty and Xiliang, asking them to give an explanation to Dagan. Is there any news back?"
Zhuge Shang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, news has been sent back from the border. The Northern Wei Dynasty has arranged for Prime Minister Uncle Sun Chang to go south, and Xiliang has arranged for Prince Yao Qian to come. Both of them have entered the country and are on their way to Luoyang. Calculating the time, it may be almost there. It’s Luoyang.”
A smile bloomed on Zhao Shan's face, and he said with a smile: "Since the Northern Wei Dynasty and Xiliang have sent envoys, they must be mentally prepared for compensation. What do you think we can do to extort more benefits?"
