When it comes to ostentation, the emperor's ostentation is undoubtedly the greatest, and the entire Fengri City is tense for his arrival.
From the local government offices, to the garrison, to all the official shops around Fengri City, as well as the common people in the streets, everyone must abide by the rules and have been told what not to do and where to go during the emperor's tour. can not go. From the teleportation array to the Black Flag Camp Yamen, in addition to the officials and soldiers responsible for the protection, there were also people kneeling on guard.
The officials in Fengri City all rushed to the emperor. They wanted to squeeze into the welcoming team because of their connections, even if they were at the end, as long as they could have the reputation of "welcoming His Majesty". . It would be great if we could squeeze in to the front and meet His Majesty face to face. Unfortunately, there are very few people who can squeeze in.
Officials all have the same mentality, and wealthy businessmen and ordinary people also have the same mentality. It is true to say that they are just joining in the fun to gain glory, but more importantly, the mentality of worshiping the Lord of the World plays a dominant role.
Even when the emperor's carriage and horses passed by, the people on both sides of the road spontaneously began to kowtow and shout, "Your Majesty is mighty, the country will be prosperous", and the sound was even deafening!
As the first receptionist for the emperor's tour, Shen Hao had been following the emperor's car. When he saw the people shouting, the emperor directly opened the curtains and looked at the kneeling crowd outside with a serious face, and even You can see the light flashing in his eyes.
When they arrived at the Yamen of Black Flag Camp, the officials who had followed them also entered the meeting hall of Black Flag Camp. The emperor briefly chatted with these people and then waved them away. It's all local enthusiasm, and it's not good to ignore it completely, but there is a certain limit, and you can't miss the main business because of these people who come to take advantage of it.
After the irrelevant people left, the emperor smiled and waved for people to bring in the rewards. They were all in kind, including elixirs, magic weapons, and stacks of banknotes.
Giving rewards is a happy thing, especially when the emperor personally gives them a reward, it is a highlight moment that many people may only have once in their lifetime. Therefore, no matter how cumbersome the process, no matter how boring the announcement is, it will become as sweet and sweet as the sound of nature. Listen with your full attention.
Perhaps the only person who is serious on the surface but impatient in his heart is Shen Hao. He really doesn't like this kind of occasion where the sense of ritual is greater than the actual use. Not hanging your head and taking a nap is already the greatest respect for the emperor.
The awarding ceremony lasted from mid-morning to mid-morning and ended at noon.
There were many people who were rewarded, and unlike in the past, they were all awarded by the superiors. Instead, many brave people were selected and awarded in person by the emperor, including many representatives of the lowest-level soldiers.
I don't know what the emperor's mentality is. Anyway, he just patted the other person's shoulder to encourage him and ended it. But to these low-level soldiers, he always said a lot of things with a smile on his face. He even asked them how many acres of land they had and how many children they had. Only when he saw the other people shed tears of gratitude would he laugh and say "the country's best talents." It makes people kneel down and kowtow.
One or two were fine, but a dozen of them all said the same thing... Shen Hao curled his lips inwardly. But it couldn't stop the people below from liking this tune. Even those who heard it couldn't help but shed tears, being moved by the emperor's politeness and benevolence.
Are these people usually not stupid? This... Shen Hao can only attribute the scene in front of him to "cognition". It is similar to the worship of the emperor that symbolizes "peace and stability" and a sense of gratitude.
Shen Hao received nine-year compulsory education and is different from everyone here. But this does not prevent him from acting with great emotion. Although he will not be like others who have runny noses and tears, he can still act with an excited and respectful look on his face. He will not make himself appear abrupt in the presence, and it will not make him cry. Too compelling.
Just mix it up, it’s good if you can mix it up.
"Your Majesty, please come to the dining hall for lunch." When Shen Hao said these words, the whole scene froze.
Invite...the emperor to...the dining hall for dinner? !
Besides Shen Hao, the only two people present who knew about this were Wang Yiming and the leader of the imperial army who was responsible for connecting with Shen Hao. Even if these two people knew it in their hearts, they subconsciously swallowed when they heard Shen Haozhen say it like this.
Perhaps among the entire Jingjiu dynasty, Master Shen was the only one with such a weird mind that he invited the emperor to the dining hall, right?
That is to say, all the people present were from the Black Flag Camp, and Shen Hao was their leader. Otherwise, if he dared to invite the emperor to the dining hall, he would definitely be scolded.
At the same time, everyone was secretly worried about Mr. Shen, who had a strange mind. I was also wondering how the emperor would react.
To be honest, looking at the emperor's expression, you can tell that he was also a little confused by Shen Hao. He blinked several times before he came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Canteen? Speaking of which, I have never eaten in the canteen. , is the food okay?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Because I know you are coming today, I have already ordered the dining hall to add two more dishes. The big stove and big pot are not exquisite, but fortunately they taste good and have enough oil and water." Shen Hao still kept smiling. , bowed slightly and walked on the left side of the emperor, introducing him to the emperor as he walked.
Knowing that the emperor was coming, you specially added two dishes? The people around me who heard this even murmured in their hearts: Why don't you order a table of good food to be delivered? What kind of bizarre idea is it to go to the canteen to add food?
Fortunately, the emperor didn't seem angry. He laughed when he heard this and took a few steps faster. He was curious about the taste of the food cooked in this big pot and stove. At least he knew that since Shen Hao dared to invite him to eat, it would definitely not be difficult to swallow, but it was not certain that it would be delicious.
A group of people, with the emperor at the front, entered the dining hall of the Black Flag Camp's Yamen. At this time, there were actually several soldiers sitting on the seats with rice bowls and starting to eat?
Don't you even want to wait a moment? Eat it right away?
"Your Majesty, is this your first time in the dining hall? The people over there get the tableware. After taking it, they scoop out the rice in front, and then they line up in front of the table to get the food. Usually it's three meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes and one soup. Your Majesty came here today to add more. Two meat dishes..."
The emperor's personal eunuch couldn't stand it anymore and was about to help the emperor prepare food. However, the emperor kicked him away and cursed: "Get out of here. I need your help with this matter?" After scolding, he became very excited. Holding the same rice bowl as everyone else, he went to the queue to receive the food honestly, and even walked a few steps faster on purpose, and queued alone behind a group of ordinary soldiers who were obviously cramped in front.
"Don't be afraid. Even though I'm hungry, I won't eat anyone, but I'm so greedy when I smell the food here. Is your food usually so good?"
A few soldiers were indeed a little frightened, but there was no coward among the Xuanqing Guards. Although they were a little timid when facing the emperor, they were not trembling, let alone speechless.
"Report! Let me tell you, your majesty, the food in the Yamen is always very good, with both meat and vegetables. It's better than what I eat at home!"
"Hahaha, there's no need to be so loud, come on, come on, it's my first time eating here, what's your name? Please teach me what the process is..."
