1272. The ceremonial guard comes out of the palace

By the fifth day.

Changsha City is bustling.

The emperor's ceremonial guard is about to leave the city. This momentum is certain.

In addition to the guard of honor and the imperial guards, a total of 2,000 imperial guards were Zhao Da, and he led 5,000 flying dragon troops to accompany him.

There are countless eunuchs, palace maids, etc.

Speaking of which, Zhao Dongting seemed to have not yet left the palace in such a grand manner.

Before his ceremonial war was left, the soldiers of the Flying Dragon Army had already left the city dozens of miles to open the road. They were afraid that some thieves would disturb the emperor's saint's deity.

When Zhao Dongting's ceremonial guard left the palace, the flags, big umbrellas, etc. that were supported by the ceremonial guards spread far away.

The Imperial City Imperial Guard and the Flying Dragon Army soldiers all rode on horseback, majestic.

Zhao Dongting's dragon chassis, the phoenix chassis of the girls, etc. were all guarded in the center and slowly headed out of Changsha City.

There were soldiers on the street, and the people watched from afar.

When he saw the dragon chasing, he knelt down and bowed.

After dozens of minutes like this, the team had not yet completely left Changsha City.

You can imagine how huge this scene is.

And this is actually not Zhao Dongting’s original intention.

He wanted to take the girls to Haojing Island, but he was just planning to bring a few Wuding Hall to worship and let Zhao Da lead two thousand flying dragon troops to follow him. However, he didn't expect that he could control the matter gradually.

Concubine Yang didn't know where he heard about his going to Haojing Island. She was just eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha's name, but she found Zhao Dongting and said she wanted to go with her.

What can Zhao Dongting do?

I can't refuse my mother.

Then it was out of control.

Xie Daoqing, even the royal relatives who do not have real power and dare not participate in politics now have the intention of being quiet and moving.

This trip to Haojing Island seemed to be more and more like a group trip to the royal family of the Song Dynasty.

As the news spread more and more widely, more and more people found Zhao Dongting.

Zhang Jue, who has retired, and Deputy Supervisor Sun Shichuan and others are afraid that they will stay in the imperial city and want to follow him.

Zhang Jue is a royal relative and Sun Shichuan is also an old minister. How could Zhao Dongting have the nerve to stop him?

Then there are people like Hong Wutian, Mrs. Xu, and the Valley Master, who naturally have to go there.

Now that the Song Dynasty is in peace, they are all living leisurely. When they encounter such opportunities, they are rushing to the forefront.

Zhao Dongting had no choice but to continuously add troops and ceremonial guards. So in the end he became what he is now.

This is almost a group trip between the royal family of the Song Dynasty and retired officials, and it is also a benefit given to them by Zhao Dongting.

Only in the eyes of outsiders, the emperor has ulterior motives when traveling with such a ceremonial ritual.

Everyone thought that Zhao Dongting was going to inspect the people's conditions and the emperor inspected the emperor's teachings.

Since this news spread from Changsha to various places, I don’t know how many officials were waiting for the emperor’s inspection.

In the evening of that day, Zhao Dongting's ceremonial guard was still several miles away from Xiangtan. On the official road, dozens of Xiangtan officials were standing in the middle of the road to welcome him.

The Feilong Army, who had advanced, had already cleared out the entire official road.

"I welcome the emperor's priest, long live the emperor..."

As soon as they saw Zhao Dongting's dragon chassis, the officials all knelt down on the ground and went up the mountain to shout.

It’s a pity that none of them could meet Zhao Dongting.

Although Eunuch Liu, who was beside Zhao Dongting, saw the army stopping, went to the front to inquire, and returned to Zhao Dongting's carriage and reported: "Your Majesty, it is the officials of Xiangtan Prefecture who welcome you again."

"Um!"

Zhao Dongting's somewhat lazy voice came from the chariot, "I won't go to see them anymore. Let Lord Sun Shichuan take me to the city for a banquet. I don't want to disturb the people too much during this trip. You also send messages to these officials so that they don't need to be too nervous. I just came out to relax and pass by here, and they should go whatever they should be. I will camp outside Xiangtan City tonight and leave tomorrow."

"yes……"

Eunuch Liu whispered to the outside of the carriage.

Then he walked towards the army again.

When he arrived in front of the army, he pinched his throat to the officials in Xiangtan and said, "The emperor has an order, and he is just coming out to relax. You guys don't have to be nervous, just do whatever you should do! The emperor knows that you are all kind and will ask Lord Sun Shichuan to have a banquet in the city on his behalf. If you have anything to report, you just need to tell Lord Sun."

The officials in front of him were slightly stunned, and then they looked a little disappointed.

In fact, they had no news to report anything. Xiangtan was right next to Changsha. If there was something, they had already submitted memorials to the palace. They just wanted to take this opportunity to pay homage to Tianyan.

Nowadays, it is not easy to meet the emperor. Even the magistrate of Tanzhou, who is in Xiangtan Prefecture, I am afraid that I have never seen Zhao Dongting.

And if they can see each other, it is undoubtedly a blessing. With their official ranks, it can be said that they are gilding on their faces.

But unfortunately, the emperor did not give them this opportunity.

The officials did not dare to say anything more, and nodded repeatedly and thanked Eunuch Liu.

"Then you guys wait here first!"

Eunuch Liu looked like an old slave in front of Zhao Dongting, but in front of these officials, he was quite majestic.

He waved his hand lightly and headed into the army again.

When he informed Sun Shichuan of Zhao Dongting's meaning, he saw Sun Shichuan taking a few retired old ministers out of the car and drove them away to the army.

Then, the Xiangtan officials took them to Xiangtan City like stars arching the moon.

Zhao Dongting's ceremonial guard stopped on the official road.

A soldier from Feilong Army went around to observe and search for a place to camp.

Li Goudan was also in Zhao Dongting's carriage. At this time, he couldn't help but ask Zhao Dongting, "Your Majesty, why haven't you seen them?"

Zhao Dongting chuckled and explained: "Being an official should be kind and powerful. Too friendly may not be a good thing. For example, I am not good to say that he is the largest official in the world. You can't meet everyone. If this is the case, I don't need to do anything else. I just meet this person every day and I will be busy enough to just meet this person. The officials in the court are of rank and rank, and it is not a good thing to meet the officials from Xiangtan Palace. You said that if I met these officials of Xiangtan Palace, they flattered and slapped them well. I praised them for a few words, what would their Shangguan think?"

Li Goudan said blankly: "What would you think?"

Zhao Dongting said: "I will think that they are favored by the emperor. In the future, I will inevitably maintain their previous majesty and fairness."

"oh……"

Li Goudan showed a sudden realization, "Goudan understands it. It's like his father is a military governor, but his son is a county magistrate. If the magistrate knows about their relationship, then the magistrate must be polite to the magistrate."

“That’s exactly that.”

Zhao Dongting smiled and touched Li Goudan's head, "Your head is really amazing."

He really likes Li Goudan.

This kid's head is very smart, and he can often understand it at a glance. Otherwise, Zhao Dongting wouldn't have told him this just now.

He is also cultivating Li Goudan. If Li Goudan really becomes a high-ranking official in the future, then these words may have some impact on him.

There are rats and cats, and cats have cat paths. In fact, the circles of all sizes in this world are divided into levels and levels.

This is not something Zhao Dongting can change, and he never thought about changing it.

That night, he really did not enter Xiangtan City, and the ceremonial guards just set up camp outside the city.

After Sun Shichuan brought a few retired officials into Xiangtan City, he did not stay for long before returning.

Even if it is the largest official in Xiangtan City, the governor of Tanzhou is actually not qualified to deal with them. If you talk too much and talk about it secretly, it may not be a good thing.

Old ministers such as Sun Shichuan all knew Zhao Dongting's personality, so of course they would not stay in the city for too long.

The next day.

It was still dawn. After the ceremonial guards were cooking outside the city, they went straight through Xiangtan City and continued to head to the south.

The officials in Xiangtan City did not dare to ask for a meeting again this time. From the guard of honor entering the city to passing through the city, they did not appear again.

The sentence Zhao Dongting asked Eunuch Liu to pass on yesterday was a bit alert. They were all human beings, so they could understand it.

No matter whether loyal or flattery is, those who can get involved in the officialdom will obviously not be too simple.

Yuan Zhongdu.

Tolando has lived in the palace for more than a month.

She originally lived in Zhen Jin's prince's womb, but now, Zhen Jin has arranged a separate palace for her in the palace.

No one thought that Tulando would return to the Song Dynasty, whether it was him, the Empress, or even the ministers in the court.

On this day, when Tolando went to pay tribute to the Queen in the morning, he said, "My mother, my daughter has been living in the palace for more than a month and is about to go back to the Song Dynasty."
