Surrounded by civil and military ministers, Emperor Liu Qi slowly walked onto the bow of the ship.
Looking at the giant ship at his feet, Liu Qi nodded with great satisfaction.
He is very satisfied with this building ship.
He remembered clearly that ten years ago, when he accompanied the late emperor on a tour to the east of the river, the tall ship the late emperor was riding seemed to be only half the size of the huge ship he was standing on.
"Young Master did a good job!" the emperor casually ordered: "I will give you fifty gold!"
Cen Mai, the young general who was accompanying him, quickly thanked him: "I don't want to be a minister, I should be!"
But there is inevitably some pride in his words.
Apart from the Shaofu Yamen, which other Yamen in the world can build such a large, advanced and sturdy fleet?
Building boat.
The first to leave the dock were three relatively small warships.
Then came five troopships carrying soldiers.
The emperor's car and the carriage and boat of the minister Chehou followed closely behind.
Behind them were the accompanying attendants, eunuchs, maids and the queen's phoenix boat.
All the warships added up to a total of sixty-four, lined up on the wide river, forming a perfect formation in an orderly manner, breaking through the current.
Liu De on the other side looked at this scene and felt relaxed and happy, filled with yearning and expectation.
However, the soldiers and civilians of Hedong who were waiting for the emperor's chariot on the bank were so shocked by the scene that they were speechless.
Sixty-four giant ships, which look like hills, are slicing through the wind and waves in the river. The wind blows on the sails of the tower ships, making a whirring sound. Under the sun, the river is sparkling with blue waves.
Liu De swallowed his saliva, it was his first time to see such a huge fleet.
"It's the emperor Lu Bo..." Yuan Ang also praised: "It really shows his majesty!"
After hearing what Yuan Ang said, Liu De took a closer look, right?
Isn't the formation of the fleet on the river the emperor's method on land?
According to the system, when the emperor goes on patrol, there will be a guard of honor.
As the saying goes, "The order in which the emperor drives his chariot is called the lu, and the soldiers and guards lead with armor and shields outside, which are both called the book."
As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.
Most of the people onlookers didn't know what Lu Bo was. They just felt that seeing this kind of formation made them feel awe in their hearts. And the noble officials who knew about Lu Bo had already knelt on the ground to greet the emperor.
One warship after another slowly approached the shore.
But the dock and ferry in the east of the river are obviously not large enough to dock so many large warships at one time.
Therefore, most of the warships just came to the shore and did not dock at the dock. Instead, they anchored on the spot and let the boats of the emperor, queen, and ministers behind them arrive at the dock first.
Seeing this situation, Liu De quickly walked to the dock with officials and nobles of all sizes from Hedong County.
At the same time, the band that had been arranged long ago began to play the south wind. This is music that nourishes the people and is also a piece of music that must be played when the local government welcomes the emperor.
Liu De took the first step and walked to the pier. Dad's car had already been unloaded.
The Emperor's six-horse chariot, in addition to five auxiliary chariots, each drawn by four horses, was used by the accompanying servants and military attachés. There were also thirty-six chariots to protect and surround the Emperor's chariot.
On the left and right.
Liu De led the civil and military officials of Hedong and the nobles of Chehou, and came forward to kowtow and pay homage: "My son, Liu De, respectfully welcomes my father, the emperor. Long live, long live, long live my emperor!"
One thing must be explained. At this time, when the ministers met with the emperor or the prince met with the emperor, no one said long live, long live, long live, long live, long live.
Ahem, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, then you have to wait until Liu Che is enshrined in Mount Tai and feels like the mountain is shouting long live, then the flatterers will realize that flattery can still be photographed like this.
There is no doubt that Liu De has completely lost his moral integrity in order to flatter his father.
Therefore, the civil and military officials and Chehou nobles who followed Liu De were a little unresponsive at first.
However, soon, they all kowtowed: "I respectfully welcome your majesty, may my emperor live long live, long live, long live!"
Then, thousands of soldiers and civilians from Hedong who came to greet the emperor also echoed: "We respectfully welcome your majesty. May our emperor live long live, long live, long live!"
Thousands of people chanted "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live my emperor!"
Therefore, in the ears of Emperor Liu Qi, the sound of long live echoed continuously.
This made him feel so good!
"Today I know how noble the emperor is!" Emperor Gao sighed after enjoying the worship and etiquette of hundreds of officials led by Shusun Tong.
Emperor Liu Qi almost feels the same way now.
He just felt that compared with the previous patrols and so on, they were simply weak!
Only such a scene is the honor the emperor deserves!
Although he enjoys it in his heart, his character has never been able to reveal his true inner feelings easily.
Therefore, on the surface, he still looked very calm, standing solemnly on the carriage, waving his hand for the carriage to move forward, came to Liu De, and said: "Your Majesty, please be safe!"
Then, he glanced at Liu De and nodded towards Liu De with great satisfaction.
Then, the emperor's chariot continued to move forward, first inspecting in front of the Hedong County soldiers who lined up to greet him, and then came to the people and officials, inspected, and then returned to Liu De and other officials.
"I inherited the late emperor's legacy and sacrificed my body to obtain and sacrifice gold coins to serve the God's ancestral temple, two years ago! In the past, my imperial father came to the world, passed through Liang, no matter how far away he was, eradicated slander, and eliminated corporal punishment.
Reward the elders, comfort the lonely, educate the living beings, reduce extravagant desires, do not accept sacrifices, do not seek personal gain, do not punish sinners, do not punish the innocent, bring out beauties, and stand out in the world. Although I am not sensitive and unclear, I have nothing to do with the late emperor.
Virtue, but I am also willing to follow the rule of the late emperor! God sent the treasure tripod, not to praise me, but to praise Emperor Taizong Xiaowen of Jiajia!" The emperor Liu Qi stood on the carriage and loudly announced to the civil and military officials, soldiers and civilians.
"His edict: I ordered you to inherit the treasure tripod to be used in the ancestral temple of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen. It will be a feast for generations to come! It will be given to the people of the world to the rank of civil nobility. In addition to taxes this year, two pieces of cloth will be added to the eighty-year-old orphans and widows, and they will be given to Hedong.
One hundred oxen, one wine and ten stones for the common people!”
Then, dozens of boys standing behind the Emperor recited the Emperor's edict three times in unison.
When Liu De saw it, his cheeks twitched a little. His father was so sultry that he even brought Liu Bang's choir to the high temple to show off!
When the officials and people in Hedong heard this, they knelt down happily, and this time they all kowtowed with sincerity: "Your Majesty's holy grace, I have nothing to repay, but I can only bow my head to thank you for your kindness! Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"
I have to admit, bureaucrats learn things very quickly!
In the blink of an eye, they didn't need to be reminded, they could just blurt out the three cheers of long live without any sense of violation. (To be continued...)
ps: Damn it, two keys on the keyboard seem to be malfunctioning, especially the space key, which sometimes works.
But no matter what, today is the 4th update!
Well, one of the chapters will be posted later, and I will post the other chapter tomorrow. Well, maybe both chapters will be posted tomorrow. Ahem, because I don’t know what I can finish. If it’s too late, it’s better to post it tomorrow.
