Among the soldiers and guards, the imperial driver advanced at a constant speed, and the distance to Luoyang City became closer and closer. The towering walls of Luoyang City came into view and became more and more clear.
Standing on the Luan Jia, Emperor Liu looked back for a while. His field of vision was limited and his eyesight was limited, but Emperor Liu could vaguely feel the noise of the long accompanying team behind him.
After pondering for a while, Emperor Liu summoned Yantuo and ordered: "Go and summon your uncle!"
Among Xi Xing's entourage, there was only one person who could be called uncle by Emperor Liu, Li Ye, who had recently been promoted to prime minister. Emperor Liu also sent him a very important errand. Together with Han Tong, he was responsible for the public affairs and all the officials. And the management arrangements that follow a large number of people.
The westbound team was really too long, and after a long time, Li Ye just came on horseback. His horse was galloping with grace and agility. Although he was a scholar, Li Ye's riding skills were very good, and Li Guojiu was particularly fond of it. Horses, when he was the governor of Yuanzhou, he collected ten horses that were extremely powerful and difficult to sell for a lot of money. Later, he went back to the court to report on his duties and dedicated the best six of them to Emperor Liu.
Since he returned to the imperial court, some people who tried to please Li Ye often used good horses and precious saddles to explore the way. In the years when he was in charge of the Criminal Department, Li Guojiu cracked down on many corruption and illegal crimes. However, If we want to talk about how honest he is, that would be another story.
Emperor Liu was actually aware of some of Li Ye's preferences and favors, but he never cared about them. It was not purely personal, but Li Guojiu still had a bottom line when doing things. What should be done and what should be done? There is a dry scale for what should not be done.
It has to be said that after more than ten years of local experience, Li Ye has made huge improvements in all aspects. This is also the most fundamental reason why Emperor Liu appointed him to important positions and powerful positions, and it is not simply because of the relationship with the Queen Mother.
In the six years since he entered Kaibao, as he became Prime Minister, it can be said that Li Ye has also reached the pinnacle of his career.
Among the original political officials, Zhao Kuangyin and Li Chuyun were in charge of military affairs and had nothing to do with them. Wei Renpu's position was unshakable, and Li Ye was powerless, but he could see clearly. Wang Pu and Dou Yi stayed in Tokyo, especially with him. Dou Yi, with whom he has always had conflicts, is no longer around, so his voice in Xijing, Li Guojiu, has been invisibly enhanced.
Therefore, among the officials in the imperial court, Li Ye was the most active in Xixi's visit to Luoyang. Moreover, at this time, Li Ye was at the peak of his energy, and most of the imperial court had moved to Luoyang. , and also gave him room to display.
"What are your orders, Your Majesty?" Li Ye asked with a respectful attitude as he arrived at the imperial chariot's side.
In terms of age, Li Ye is actually not much older than Emperor Liu, less than one round, and can barely be regarded as "the same age". When Emperor Liu was almost "assigned" to Yuanzhou, he was inherently dissatisfied, but his respect for Emperor Liu was probably the same. It has been developed since then.
After returning to the court, the late Queen Mother Li also told him more, saying that he and Emperor Liu were not only uncles and nephews, but also monarchs and ministers, and they should abide by the etiquette of human beings and ministers. As for Li Ye, how could he dare to do so without the Queen Mother's instructions? Offending the emperor? Therefore, in front of outsiders, Uncle Li might act domineering and arrogant, but in front of Emperor Liu, he had always been as obedient as a kitten.
Looking at his brother-in-law, Emperor Liu smiled slightly and motioned for him to excuse himself. Then he got straight to the point and pointed directly to the rear and ordered: "Xi is lucky to Luoyang. There are too many followers. When I first arrived in Xijing, it was not easy to settle in. I was afraid of chaos. When I arrived in Luoyang, this
My uncle should take more care of the placement matters up and down to avoid mistakes!"
Yes, with the current conditions in Luoyang, it is easy to accommodate a million people. However, 200,000 people have moved in at once, from officials to the army and the people. If you want to implement the resettlement steadily, you have to
It's an easy job, and without a period of transition, I'm afraid it's possible to really settle down.
"Yes!" Hearing this, Li Ye didn't show any embarrassment on his face, but showed a bit of excitement, and responded simply: "Your Majesty, don't worry, how dare I not do my best?"
After explaining Li Ye, Emperor Liu returned to Luanjia. At the same time, he ordered someone to summon the Queen, and the couple rode in the same car. In the south of Luoyang City, a grand welcome ceremony had been prepared.
Under the leadership of Murong Yanchao, officials from Luoyang came out, and more than 300,000 people from Xijing were mobilized to welcome the emperor.
When Emperor Liu officially arrived, despite the vastness of Luoyang, he was shocked and trembled by the overwhelming shouts of long live the city.
Emperor Liu had come to Luoyang more than once or twice, but this time alone, he was most pleased. Over the years, Emperor Liu had experienced a lot of grand scenes. However, when he felt the people of Luoyang's love for
He cheered enthusiastically, but his mood still couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
After Luan Jia entered Luoyang City, he stepped onto the extremely wide Tianjie. Facing the densely packed Luoyang people who lined the streets to welcome him, Emperor Liu and Empress Fu stood out from Luan Jia and waved to the people.
In this way, the sensation caused became even stronger. Emotions can be contagious. Emperor Liu has been in charge of the world for twenty years, and under the witness of billions of people, he has created today's peaceful world. This kind of prestige has reached its peak.
, both as majestic as a mountain and as solid as a rock.
In these years, the imperial court's propaganda against Emperor Liu has not stopped, but it is not as deliberate and obvious as in the early days. However, some of Emperor Liu's deeds are also widely circulated among the people.
Along the way, Emperor Liu admired the newly renovated Luoyang City without being too surprised until he entered the palace city, immersed himself in the scene, and arrived at the Qianyuan Hall.
"Uncle Emperor, you are going to shock me!" Standing in front of the Qianyuan Palace, looking up at the towering and huge palace, Emperor Liu couldn't help but sigh.
"As long as your Majesty is satisfied!" Seeing Emperor Liu's reaction, Emperor Murong seemed very helpful and said with a smile.
Emperor Liu was really shocked. The Qianyuan Palace is a complex building, but the most eye-catching one must be the central main hall, which towers into the clouds, like a heavenly palace. I have long heard of the height of the palace, but it is really
After seeing it, I was still surprised and my heart was ups and downs.
The height of the palace platform alone reaches six feet, and the royal road in the middle leads directly to the palace gate. Pointing to the dense levels, Emperor Liu said: "If you have cultivated so high and reached this level, those elderly ministers will probably complain about you!
"
"Let's go into the palace and have a look!" He joked, and Emperor Liu took the lead. Naturally, only Emperor Liu could walk on the imperial steps in the middle, while the ministers accompanying him walked through the auxiliary roads on both sides in an orderly manner according to their rank.
Behind the side.
The flow of people surged towards the stairs. As for the interior of the Qianyuan Hall, according to Emperor Liu's habits, he was not interested in luxury, but only in majesty. However, it could not only accommodate hundreds of officials, but it would probably not be a problem to hold a court meeting with thousands of people.
Because of this, these halls can only be used in a few cases...
As Emperor Liu sat on the dragon bed and accepted the worship of all ministers, this also meant that Emperor Liu's life in Luoyang officially began. The status of Xijing was once again de facto established.
