Chapter 1119 still in the old capital(1/3)
It’s no wonder that the little fat man is so honest.
In fact, it was because the Prime Minister led the army north from Hanzhong and took away most of the troops in Shuzhong, including the northern and southern armies.
The Han troops currently stationed in places such as Guanzhong and Bingzhou and Hedong can be said to be the main force of the Han Dynasty.
To be honest, Adou would not have thought of coming over so quickly if it hadn't been for the Queen's insistence.
After all, Guanzhong is newly settled, and I have never been there before. The Han Dynasty's foundation in Guanzhong is far inferior to that of Shuzhong.
Coming here in such a hurry and with such great fanfare, I always felt a little unsure.
If I feel unsure, I must find someone I trust to support me.
He used to be the prime minister, but now he is naturally Feng Lianyin.
After all, the Prime Minister once said in a secret letter to himself before his death, "Feng Mingwen and Jiang Gongyan can handle important matters. Your Majesty has these two people, so you have nothing to worry about."
Now that he saw that the person leading the way to greet him was not Feng Mingwen, the little fat man felt anxious and naturally blurted out a question.
Someone in the car pulled the emperor's sleeve.
The little fat man realized that he had made a mistake and quickly corrected his expression:
"General Wei rises."
Wei Yan's face almost turned green, then he returned to normal slightly and stood up.
In the emperor's carriage, although the queen's face was a little confused like the emperor's, her eyes were a little more unclear:
It was agreed that Feng Mingwen and Wei Wenchang would greet him together, but now Wei Wenchang is the only one? Where is my brother-in-law?
However, Adou and his wife's doubts did not last long. Wei Yang just stood up when he heard someone shouting again:
"Chen Yong, please lead all the generals and officials in Guanzhong to greet Your Majesty."
The little fat man was overjoyed when he heard this and waved:
"Feng Qing, come quickly!"
When Wei Yan saw this, his old face twitched, and then he forcibly regained his composure.
After all, who knows about Feng Mingwen’s relationship with the royal family?
This time he forced himself to meet the emperor in front of Feng Mingwen. To put it bluntly, he wanted to lose Feng Mingwen's face and embarrass Feng Mingwen in front of everyone.
Anyway, among all the people present, he has the oldest qualifications, and at the same time, he also has the highest status in name.
Besides, looking at the big men, there are not many old ministers who can compare with him.
That's why he was sure that even if he went too far, the emperor would definitely give him some mercy, and there would be no serious consequences.
It's just that the reaction of the emperor in front of me seems to be a little unexpected twice in a row?
Aren't you a fool?
Why don't you act according to common sense?
The queen's eyes were much sharper than the fat emperor's.
She glanced at Feng Mingwen, who had dismounted from his horse and was approaching, and then glanced at Wei Yan, who had an unsightly look on his face, intentionally or unintentionally, and the unknown meaning in his eyes became even stronger.
"Chen Yong, I would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live forever and be happy forever!"
After hearing this, Wei Yan's mouth twitched again.
Clever words and charming words!
But the little fat man listened very well. He looked at his brother-in-law, smiled from ear to ear, and continued to wave:
"It's clear that there's no need to be polite, just come forward and talk."
The queen who did not show up coughed lightly in the car.
Adou was slightly startled, not knowing what he meant.
But I heard the queen's soft words, her voice like silk threads reaching my ears: "Your Majesty, General Wei..."
Um?
A Dou hasn't fully understood it yet.
"Your Majesty, when all the generals and officials are in front of you, it is best not to favor one over the other."
"Oh?" Only then did Adou react, his enthusiasm lessened by half, and he waved lazily to Wei Yan, "Old General Wei, please come and talk too."
Feng Mingwen and Wei Wen glanced at each other, snorted each other, and then separated a long distance in disgust and walked forward.
Adou originally just wanted to say something to Feng Mingwen in private, but now that Wei Wenchang was here, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Seeing the two military generals standing in front of the car, the little fat man held it in for a long time before he said:
"Both of you are the pillars of the country. You have done a great job in expanding the territory of the country. Thank you for your hard work."
Wei Yan heard this sentence on his face, he smoothed his beard, his face looked serious, he bowed slightly and said:
"Your Majesty, you have given me the reward. This is just my duty."
Feng Junhou glanced at Wei Yan, cupped his fists and cupped his hands, and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, following the late emperor's will, wishes to revive the Han Dynasty. I must do the work of dogs and horses. This is where loyalty lies and it is my duty to do so."
When the little fat man heard this, his eyes almost narrowed with joy, and he kept saying: "Okay, okay!"
When Wei Yan saw this scene, he was so angry that he almost pulled out his beard.
Even the queen couldn't help but smile, and then shook her head slightly.
Do you think that "the clever words and charming Feng Langjun" were obtained in vain?
Why do you have to stop this trend with him?
Feng Junhou did not give Wei Yan a chance to speak, so he took the opportunity to speak:
"Your Majesty, all the generals and officials in Guanzhong are waiting in front to greet them. Do you want to see them?"
You definitely need to meet, after all, this is a process.
Precisely because it was a process, the emperor certainly could not talk to everyone one by one. He could only have someone read out the decree in public.
Then the Northern and Southern armies, led by the brothers-in-law of Guan and Zhang, guarded the Emperor's chariot and marched towards Chang'an.
Thirty miles is a long journey or a short one.
When the emperor drove five miles away from Chang'an, the sun was almost setting on the mountain tops.
After Adou stayed one night at the residence arranged by Feng Junhou, he waited for the sun to rise the next day and continued to Chang'an.
At this time, at the gate of Chang'an City, soldiers were already lined up, with swords and halberds brightly lit.
Under the shining of the sun, the soldiers looked as if they were wearing golden scales, and they looked majestic.
Behind the soldiers, many common people stood, watching the emperor's chariot drive slowly into Chang'an City, escorted by elite soldiers.
At the gate of Chang'an City, there were many old gentry from Guanzhong standing, carrying bamboo baskets for rice, wine jars, bowls for soup, and so on.
"Congratulations to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty for returning to the old capital!"
When the emperor's chariot came and passed the city gate, all the old country gentlemen leaned down and shouted.
Knowing that this was a deliberate arrangement, Adou couldn't help but feel agitated when he heard these words. He suddenly opened the curtain of the car and looked up to look at the old capital where the late emperor missed day and night.
Seeing the emperor's appearance, the old gentry in the village showed even more excitement.
Some old people even burst into tears and murmured:
"He's back, the emperor of the Han family is back..."
Adou couldn't control his emotions:
"People care about Han people, but the people's support can be used!"
Feng Junhou nodded quickly:
"What His Majesty said is that people care about the people, and the people's support can be used!"
Then when no one was paying attention, he cast an appreciative look at the old acting man:
Very good, your family can get at least 300 more pounds of brown sugar this year.
People’s hearts also cost money and food!
When Feng Junhou visited Guanzhong last year, an old farmer taught him:
Whoever divides the fields and takes care of the food will go with him.
When these village elders are full, it is definitely not just about being full. Food alone is not enough, they have to be fed sugar...
With the old man taking the lead, the sound was like waves on the sea, one after another, and everyone began to shout:
"The Emperor of the Han Dynasty has returned!"
"The Emperor of the Han Dynasty has returned!"
…
