Anyang.
The current county governor is named Liu Shang, and he is waiting at the city gate with a group of officials.
When they saw Xiao Yuan, all the Anyang officials came forward one after another, knelt on the ground, and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, long live my emperor -"
"They're all flat."
Xiao Yuan's voice came from the car.
"Thank you, Your Majesty——"
The officials stood up and respectfully stepped aside. Liu Shang trotted forward and came to the side of the chariot. He bowed, nodded and said, "Your Majesty, please allow Xu Chen to lead your horse and kick it."
"You are the local county governor, you don't have to be like this." Xiao Yuandao.
"My emperor is a saint, and it is a great honor for me to be able to accompany you as your majesty." Liu Shang said quickly.
A local governor finally met the emperor, how could he not flatter him?
Xiao Yuan had no choice but to say nothing and let him go.
Along the way, we met many people welcoming the army, but entering Anyang, it was a different scene.
At this time, the whole city was in a state of commotion. Almost everyone was moving towards the main road. There were huge crowds of people and the streets were empty.
Looking around, there are crowds of people. The restaurants and shops on both sides of the street and the second-floor windows are also crowded with people.
Of course, there were soldiers running on both sides of the main road, lining up on both sides to maintain order.
But this did not affect the enthusiasm of the people at all.
The ghost clan has been plagued by evil for a long time. So many people have lost their families and their families, and how many relatives and compatriots have been brutally massacred. Over those years, there are mountains of bones, broken walls, and children crying. It is really terrible to see.
Now that the army has returned victorious, how could the people be unhappy?
"Qin Jun's sons! You are the best!!"
"Great Qin for Ten Thousand Years!!"
"Great Qin Ten Thousand Years——"
Everyone was cheering, and many women were holding flower baskets at the second-floor window, smiling and scattering flower petals.
It was a seasonal flower that bloomed in October, and the flowers rained down from the sky, which enhanced the atmosphere to the extreme.
The officers and soldiers of the Qin army stood up straight, and although their eyes were not squinting, the soldiers were certainly excited in their hearts, feeling the glory of being soldiers who defended their homes and country.
There were also three or five young girls together: "Look at those soldiers, they are so handsome."
The other girls covered their mouths and chuckled.
And when Xiao Yuan's car appeared, the atmosphere reached its peak.
"Long live my emperor!"
"Long live!!"
"Long live--"
The shouts in unison were like a wave, one overshadowing the other, lasting for a long time.
What kind of public sentiment this is.
Seeing this situation, Meng Ya was shocked and couldn't help but widen his eyes. Only then did he realize that the counties and villages he passed through before were nothing more than child's play.
He subconsciously glanced at the deputy general next to him.
Shi Kai also swallowed, with a look of disbelief on his face, and stammered: "Emperor Qin, the King of Heaven."
Countless troops, numerous halberds, and tall chariots all demonstrate the supreme prestige of the founding emperor.
As the army passed by, the enthusiasm of the people on both sides of the street continued to rise. It could be said that it spread from the city gate to Anyang County Mansion.
When they got here, the car stopped, Liu Shang bowed and said: "Your Majesty, we have arrived at the county mansion."
"Yes." Xiao Yuan responded and stepped out of the car.
After taking a look at the county mansion, I couldn't help but have my thoughts wandering around. Back then, I was still the captain of Liucheng School. I still remember that Yu Anmin was in charge of this place and met his adopted brother Zhong Bai in this hall.
Xiao Yuan stood here in a daze, and the surrounding officials did not dare to disturb him. They bent over and looked at each other from left to right.
It wasn't until a while later that he recovered his thoughts and stepped into the county mansion.
The generals followed closely and filed in.
After Xiao Yuan sat down at the main seat in the hall, Liu Shang came forward with a smile and said: "Your Majesty, you and the generals have defeated the evildoers. The expedition has been hard, and I have prepared a banquet to relieve fatigue."
It was already evening, and Xiao Yuan was indeed a little hungry, so he nodded: "No need to be extravagant, just keep it simple."
"Yes." Liu Shang bowed respectfully.
Xiao Yuan also looked at the crowd, stretched out his hand and said, "Queens, please stop standing and take a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty——"
Everyone bowed their hands and bowed, saluted one after another, and then took their seats behind a few tables on both sides.
Not long after, the wine and food were served by the maid. Everyone spent the dinner in laughter and laughter. Liu Shang also ran back and forth from time to time and poured wine for Xiao Yuan himself several times.
After dinner, Xiao Yuan went to the county study room and casually looked through Anyang's past government affairs.
Now it was no longer bamboo slips, but official documents with unified specifications, which seemed much more convenient than before. Xiao Yuan did not stay up late and left after more than an hour.
After he left, Liu Shang couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that he would be reprimanded if he did something bad.
A night of silence.
The next day, Xiao Yuan set off from Anyang early, and Liu Shang naturally saw him off all the way to the outside of the city. Seeing that he still wanted to follow, Xiao Yuan said happily: "Liu Qing doesn't have to send him off anymore. He can govern Anyang well. I'm happy." Taking care of people's livelihood is the best explanation for me."
After hearing this, Liu Shang quickly responded: "I will remember your majesty's teachings and must be diligent and diligent."
"Yes." Xiao Yuan nodded, waved his hand and said, "Go back."
"Yes, your Majesty, have a pleasant trip." Liu Shang bowed his hands and bent his waist to the end.
Xiao Yuan's car drove away, and Liu Shang stood there and watched until the army went away and gradually disappeared from sight.
The official nearby reminded: "Sir, His Majesty has left."
"Ah?" Liu Shang came back to his senses: "Li Juncheng, do you think His Majesty's impression of me is good?"
"This" the county magistrate pondered for a moment, and then said with a smile: "From the official point of view, it must be excellent, otherwise, His Majesty would not have had that conversation before leaving. You know, many ministers are not qualified to do this. Woolen cloth."
"Well, it makes sense." Liu Shang nodded slowly, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Let's go back."
Let's talk about Xiao Yuan's side. After passing through Anyang, he passed through Liaoyang and other counties, then passed through Wuxia Pass and left the former Huandi, all the way to Chang'an.
During this period, every time he passed through a city, he was welcomed by the local people, a true national celebration.
In November, the army returned to Chang'an camp.
At the north gate, Prime Minister Liu Yuzhi was in front. All civil and military officials were wearing official uniforms. Lu Yunyan and Xiao Yuan's wives were waiting early.
Not long after, Xiao Yuan's car arrived, and all the ministers knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Your Majesty is welcome back to the capital——"
Xiao Yuan walked out of the car and first said to the ministers: "Everyone is safe."
Then he looked towards Lu Yunyan.
The women put their hands on their waists and gave gifts in various styles. They all had different looks, different clothes, and different timbres, but their voices were pleasant to the ear.
And all of their faces were filled with joy and longing.
Xiao Yuan smiled warmly and waved his hand: "Let's go home!" (End of this chapter)
