On this day, because Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Ming Dynasty was leaving Beijing, the people in the city woke up earlier than usual.
The old man Tang Youshan staggered towards the royal road. His little granddaughter followed behind, holding a lantern and shouting: "Be careful, Dad, the emperor hasn't come out yet."
"Why!"
"Why!"
"Is the emperor here?"
Tang Youshan agreed, but his pace did not slow down, and his eyes kept wandering around the figures appearing in the mist in front of him.
His little granddaughter replied: "Not yet."
At this time, the genius was bright, and Zhu Youxiao, who was about to leave the capital, was still sleeping soundly with his new concubine in his arms, and indeed he had not left the palace yet.
However, in the homes of ordinary people outside the imperial city, women had already begun to put on makeup and wash themselves. Some women who had washed themselves began to stick their heads out of the window, and then retracted, as if reporting timely news about whether the emperor had come out.
After it got a little brighter, the morning sun also climbed into the sky, and when a red face faced the capital, all the streets in the capital were filled with crowds, so dense that it was difficult to see a specific person's face, and the shadows were blurry. , just like applying dark paint directly.
Although there were a lot of people everywhere in the capital at this time, there was not a single breakfast vendor, and not a single shop opened in advance for business.
All of them would rather not do business and make money, but also want to see the holy face of the Ming Emperor, and regard this as an event that cannot be missed.
In today's Ming Dynasty, because the people are wealthy and their cultural level has improved, their interest in important court affairs has increased, and their interest in the emperor Zhu Youxiao has naturally increased a lot.
For some old and middle-aged people who have experienced hunger and excessive exploitation, Zhu Youxiao is like their savior.
In addition, the imperial court began to actively promote the emperor's kindness to the people.
Therefore, there was a grand occasion when all the people in the capital came out to see the holy face.
Not only women and children put on new makeup and new clothes, hoping to show their most beautiful side on the day when the emperor traveled.
Even in fact, Zhu Youxiao may not necessarily see them.
Others also dressed up to go out.
Even stingy or frugal people, for the first time, gave their entire family new clothes or gave their employees a holiday.
"It was still dark, and when it was darkest, sergeants were dispatched. The sound was like an earthquake. They must be the most elite warriors in the empire! These sergeants were lined up beside the royal road, just like an iron tower standing here. The same, and then a row of iron towers goes down, which is a row of lights, stretching directly to the root of the imperial city."
"I've seen it too. It's really a huge battle, just like the emperor's own expedition. The outside of the city is full of armor and armor, and you can't even see the edge."
…
While the people were discussing, the rapid sound of horse hooves was heard again.
The ongoing discussions came to an abrupt end, and everyone stretched their necks to look in the direction of the imperial city.
Suddenly, many imperial guards came, all in bright colors and powerful, riding horses to patrol around.
"Go report, the fog has cleared and it's sunny!"
"Yes! Report! The fog has cleared and it's sunny!"
There were only a few sounds of the Jin Yiwei who were riding horses at the front talking to each other, but the people crowded around the streets and alleys could hear the needle drop quietly, just like clay figurines.
It wasn't until a while later, when there was clapping and then the sound of whips, that the clay sculpture-like people began to move, whispering to each other, full of excitement and excitement.
"coming!"
"It's really here!"
But because of this, the crowds began to surge.
On both sides of the royal road, the chest-high tempered glass walls were packed with people.
Some yelled at someone who stepped on my foot, some yelled at someone who touched my butt, and some yelled at someone who bumped into me.
There were constant curses and shouts, and it was as noisy as a busy city.
Most people were so crowded that they had no choice but to look up, and let the morning sun shed its bright and bright light. When they felt dazzled, they could only close their eyes and lower their heads.
At this time, Yan Hongkui was standing on the roof of the academy with several classmates from the Royal Academy, looking at the situation on the royal road in the distance. It was not so crowded, but he was quite eager to urge another classmate of his: "Yizhong, hurry up. Give me the telescope, the emperor is coming soon!"
"I'll watch for a while!"
Lu Yizhong did not return the telescope to Yan Hongkui.
Yan Hongkui simply snatched it away: "Bring it to you!"
In the original history, the two men would be killed by the Manchu rulers because of their involvement in the Lu Liuliang Literary Prison Case.
But in this life, both of them were influenced by the nationalist Lu Liuliang and became students of the Royal Academy.
The country is still the same as before, but the current Chinese country has given birth to contemporaries who are far luckier than those in history. What they saw was not the helpless situation of the barbarians stealing China, nor did they do anything to make the culture Cutting off and compiling history and writing books will lead to the tragic ending of his head being missing.
As the majestic music sounded.
Everyone knew that the emperor was getting closer and closer to them, so they held their breath and did not move again.
Zhu Youxiao blinked and glanced at the blue sky outside the carriage, and then looked at the people under his eyes.
And when he looked at it, he saw that the whole world was extremely colorful, like a sea of splendid scenery.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao laughed.
"emperor!"
"The Emperor is here!"
"Long live my emperor!"
The frozen people suddenly started to move again at this moment, waving their hands and cheering as hard as they could.
The emperor has arrived.
The whole city laughed.
Zhu Youxiao was also infected by this atmosphere, and he could also understand from these cheers how much the series of things he did satisfied the civilians.
Tang Youshan was already in tears at this time.
He thought of the days when he worked as a tracker by the canal, and the days when his chest was pressed against his back when he was hungry.
He also thought of his wife starving to death.
He was glad that he did not stick to the bottom line of his life when he was extremely hungry, did not eat his wife, and was able to witness the prosperous age at this time.
At this time, colorful flags were flying along the entire royal road. Some people who admired His Majesty the Emperor extremely lifted up the cloth with slogans on long poles in order to let the Emperor see his words.
At this time, Tang Youshan stood in a daze among the colorful flags and long poles densely covered with trees.
For a moment, he seemed to feel that his own wife had come here with him, watching the holy driver coming slowly, standing behind him, keeping a gentle smile.
Tang Youshan looked back and started looking around.
But for a moment, he only saw his granddaughter's smile, which was the same as his wife's when she was young, with bright eyes, white teeth, and a smile on her red lips.
Tang Youshan smiled because of this, turned around, looked at Shengjia again, and thought to himself: "It would be great if you were still alive!"
Zhu Youxiao could not see hunger and numbness in the eyes of these people, but only sunshine and innocence. Therefore, he was in a very good mood at this moment.
He had to admit that he really saved a nation.
