On May 26, the third year of Hengsheng, a huge team of more than 20,000 people appeared on the road to Jinzhou.
The procession stretches for more than ten miles, with countless flags and jade flags rolling like waves. It is truly spectacular.
Not only that, while the team was marching, there were 30,000 soldiers guarding the perimeter, shuttling back and forth to prevent the appearance of bandits, assassins, and rebellious gangsters, and to protect the team.
Based on this calculation, this team actually numbered 50,000 people!
Looking more closely, of the 20,000 people in this team, more than 15,000 are armored soldiers, while among the remaining 5,000 people, in addition to more than a thousand officials and scribes, the remaining 4,000 people
All of them were dressed up as palace maids.
With such a scene, it is clear whose frame this team belongs to.
Everywhere the team went, there were countless people watching along the way, vying to take a look.
"Look, that's the jade banquet where the emperor sits, and the officials are sitting inside."
"I've seen it, I've seen it. The ostentation of the official family is really grand. It's even more spectacular than the Jade Emperor's outing."
"Father, you carry me, you carry me, I can't see you."
A child of seven or eight and a half years old was blocked from view by the crowd and screamed anxiously. His father lifted him up and let him sit on his shoulders.
"I saw it, I saw it, there are so many people, the official family is so majestic, the jade banquet is so big, I want to sit there too."
The child was childlike, but his father was so frightened that he almost jumped to his waist and almost didn't fall to the ground.
Zhao Yun was sitting in the jade tree and was in a good mood. He came out this time to make an alliance with Genghis Khan.
Although Jiang Wanli has not returned yet, Zhao Yun believes that with Genghis Khan's courage, he will definitely agree to his alliance request.
This alliance is destined to go down in history and become a lasting event.
At a long pavilion thirty miles outside Fengzhou City, Meng Gong, Yu Jie, Jiang Hai, Jiang Wanzai, Cao Youwen, as well as appeasement envoys, Zhizhi envoys, prefects, prefects, and everyone who could come from all over Sichuan and Shu were already waiting here.
Yes, there are hundreds of high-ranking officials and generals, and they have been waiting here for a long time.
This time Zhao Yun went on tour, and the number of people in the team was really too large. If he had to stay in the same place every time he passed by, it would not only waste people and money, but also waste time.
Therefore, Zhao Yun did not stay in any prefecture or county along the way, nor did he allow officials who were too far away to come to visit him. He only sent an order saying that if they were free, they would go to Fengzhou to wait.
Therefore, along the way, Zhao Yun only met with the county magistrates along the way in his carriage and asked them about people's livelihood, but did not enter any city.
Seeing the Emperor's carriage finally arriving and feeling the Emperor's supreme majesty, all the officials looked solemn and uneasy.
"Your Majesty, Meng Gong, pays homage to His Majesty and wishes His Majesty your blessing."
"I, Yu Jie, pay homage to Your Majesty and wish His Majesty the best."
"I, Jiang Hai, pay homage to Your Majesty and wish His Majesty the best.",,,
Hundreds of civil and military personnel knelt down to greet Zhao Yun's arrival.
In the Song Dynasty, monarchs and ministers were harmonious and respected each other. If it was not a sacred and solemn occasion, when ministers saw the emperor, they only had to bow and bow.
But this is not the case this time. This is the emperor's carriage out of the palace to inspect the place. It is a rare occasion in hundreds of years. If it were other kings, they would hide in the palace all their lives. If you wanted to kneel down and worship, you would not have the chance.
Moreover, Zhao Yun traveled thousands of miles to the place with the dignity of the Son of Heaven. Local officials must welcome him with the highest standards imaginable no matter what. Therefore, the ceremony of kneeling down and worshiping him is a matter of course.
Yuhu stopped, Zhao Yun opened the bead curtain, walked out, stood on Yuhu and looked at the officials from above, feeling very pleased.
This time, the 30,000-strong Mongolian army invaded by dragging mines, but they did not get any advantage, and they also lost many soldiers and generals, and almost the entire army was wiped out.
Such achievements are all the result of the cooperation of these officials and the dedication of the soldiers. With ministers like this, what else can you ask for?
Zhao Yun raised his hand in vain and said: "You nobles, please excuse me and stay calm."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Baiguanshan thanked him and stood up, waiting for Zhao Yun to ask for advice.
Zhao Yun glanced at everyone one by one, and finally said loudly: "I am very pleased and satisfied with the cooperation of all the Qing families to achieve the current results. It is precisely because of the assistance of all the Qing families that I have the confidence.
Go meet Genghis Khan, I will see all your performance, and history will also see the performance of each of you. Your names will be left in the history books for thousands of years."
All the officials were excited, boiling, and breathing heavily.
As officials and generals, when they reach this stage, most of them no longer only pursue material enjoyment, they care more about spiritual pursuits.
When people are pursuing spiritual satisfaction, can they leave a clear name in history and be remembered by future generations? Can the people of this world live better because of themselves? Can they make this dynasty more prosperous because of themselves?
, what they care more about is this.
It is precisely for this reason that they are willing to risk their lives to dissuade the king for a mistake. They are also willing to risk their own lives for the sake of the survival of the nation.
Excited, all the officials said in unison: "It is my duty to die for Your Majesty and to plead for the lives of all the people. I dare not claim my merits."
Zhao Yun's eyes fell on Yu Jie and Meng Gong, and he waved to them and said: "Yu Jie, Meng Gong, you two come forward."
After hearing this, the two excitedly approached Yuxu and came to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun walked down the Yuhu with a smile, held their wrists in each hand, and said: "You guys will sit on the Yuhu with me and enter the city together."
Yu Jie and Meng Gong were so excited that they could accompany the king to the banquet. What a great honor it was. This sense of honor was simply unimaginable for a minister.
The officials looked at Yu Jie, Meng Gong and Meng Gong as they were held by Zhao Yun's wrists and entered Yuhu. They were all extremely envious and wished they could fly over and take their place.
As for the generals and soldiers present, seeing how highly Zhao Yun valued Meng Gong, they all became even more considerate and had bright eyes.
Zhao Yun valued Meng Gong so highly and made Meng Gong's status equal to that of Yu Jie, a civil servant. This is the honor of all military men.
And Yu Jie's position in Sichuan and Shu became more stable because of Zhao Yun's unabashed trust and respect in public.
In the past, some people were dissatisfied with Yu Jie, saying that he was too young to be qualified for the position of Sichuan's envoy. Some even said that he opened a talent recruitment hall without permission and had an irresistible intention to evade the imperial court. Now seeing that Zhao Yun trusts Yu Jie so much,
Whoever dares to talk nonsense in the future will also dare to disobey.
The emperor's carriage continues to move forward, and the team will finally stay temporarily in Fengzhou, waiting for Jiang Wanli to return from the message, and then they can set off again to meet Genghis Khan.
