Guan Luan also received Kong Fan's order in advance, and he did not resist it. Originally, he had no hope of defending Jiankang Mansion. Everyone had some small thoughts in their hearts, but they didn't know what the others were doing.
I think so, so I dare not take the initiative to express it.
Now that Kong Fan has taken the initiative, there is naturally no risk. If the sky falls, there will be someone high to support it, and for the Northern and Southern Dynasties, which changed dynasties frequently, changing dynasties makes no difference to everyone. In the final analysis, it is the cloud.
The people above have changed. If these people want to control the place, they still need these grassroots officials and generals. As for the people below, they have nothing to do with them.
The bottom line is that the taxes paid may fluctuate a bit.
The sound of footsteps sounded behind him. Looking at Kong Fan striding over, Guan Luan took a deep breath and said, "We are ready to report to Prime Minister Kong. We are just waiting for Prime Minister Kong's order."
Kong Fan looked at the dark army advancing outside the city and murmured: "The choice we made is right, otherwise it would be just throwing an egg against a stone."
The faces of several generals also changed slightly. They, the capital guards, had never seen such a battle before, and they had to thank Kong Fan, their immediate boss, for his decisiveness.
The originally closed city gate slowly opened, and the defenders on the city wall lined up and walked down the city gate, standing on both sides of the city gate. Kong Fan glanced at Guan Luan and others, and they stepped aside to let Kong Fan go.
At the front.
Hundreds of cavalrymen rushed into the city like arrows from a string, followed by large groups of infantry.
Pei Zilie rode his horse onto the stone bridge on the moat outside the city gate, looked up at the city gate that had been replaced with the Shu Han flag, and sighed.
With all the vicissitudes of life, who would have thought that when he returned to Jiankang Mansion, he would have such an identity and such a mentality!
"General?" Zheng Kaiyuan, Lu Qing and other generals who were riding beside him looked curiously at this huge and prosperous city in the south of the Yangtze River or the entire south. There is no such scene in Sichuan, and now this city is just
Under their hooves!
"Enter the city!" Pei Zilie laughed loudly and rode forward!
"Enter the city!"
Countless soldiers burst into cheers.
On Tian Street in the city, many people, old and young, had already gathered to prepare pots of rice and wine to welcome the king's troops. For them, this army was not unfamiliar, especially since the one at the front of the army was the one they had seen a few years ago.
The Yulin Cavalry who have been here. The Yulin Cavalry now are all equipped with war horses, silver armor, white feathers on their helmets, and red cloaks spread out behind them. They are really the best in the army.
When Li Xingchen appeared, the crowd burst into cheers like a wave:
"King of Han, King of Han!"
And the people also fell to their knees like a wave. In this era, the kneeling ceremony was still very formal, indicating that these people of Jiankang Prefecture were welcoming their new king.
And Li Xingchen stretched out his hand to hold the carriage shaft, looking at the Da Sima Gate getting closer and closer in front of him, looking at the people on the surrounding streets who didn't know whether they were sincere or just watching the excitement, and he was filled with emotions.
"King of Han, the little old man leads the people of the city to welcome the King of Han!" An old man was already standing in front of the motorcade. Yu Linqi separated from both sides. Li Xingchen strode out of the carriage and took the bowl from the old man's hand.
liquor.
The surroundings suddenly became much quieter, and Li Xingchen looked around, drank the wine in the bowl, and then said loudly: "From now on, you are my king's subjects, and I will protect you and bring you stability and prosperity!
"
"Long live the King of Han!" came the mountain cry again.
Li Xingchen personally helped the old man up, and solemnly raised his hands to the old man: "I will never break my promise to you today."
After the words fell, he strode onto the carriage.
The old man watched the motorcade rumble by with some confusion, and it took him a long time to realize what he was doing.
I can be considered an emperor who has lived for several generations. When has he ever seen someone so young, supporting the people like this, and swearing such a solemn oath?
Maybe all this is not just a formality as imagined, but is really about to change.
But Li Xingchen didn't think much about it. Change was certain. He, Li Xingchen, came to this era to break the situation with his strength, just to change everything. Therefore, his thoughts now are more focused on the Jiankang Mansion in front of him and the future generations.
The ancient capital of the Six Dynasties was a prosperous place.
The last time I left, I was in such a miserable state, but this time I finally came back in a grand manner.
"Your Highness, do you want to enter the palace?" Cheng Feng rode over.
"Come in, how can you not come in!" Li Xingchen laughed loudly, "Li Ping, lead the horse!"
After a pause, Li Xingchen turned his head and looked at Gu Yewang: "Gu Gong, settling the people and cleaning up the official affairs must be left to you first. Luo Ya and the others are still on the way, so others are not worried."
King Gu Ye smiled slightly: "How dare you disobey your orders."
Watching Li Xingchen jump on his horse and lead the Yu Lin cavalry towards the Da Sima Gate, Gu Yewang, who was still standing on the carriage, smiled even more.
Where will the young King of Han lead this new dynasty?
Da Sima Gate is the main entrance of the palace, facing the Royal Street. At this time, the palace gate has been opened. The tiger warriors and Yu Linlang in the palace are obviously useless at all, and at this point, they cannot be expected to really
Serving Nanchen, Zhengwu Yangyang was kneeling on the ground waiting for his new master.
Li Xingchen reined in his horse outside the palace gate. Pei Zilie and Han Qinhu were already waiting for him on both sides. They entered the city from the west gate, and Li Xingchen went around to the south gate to enter the city, so they moved faster. But everyone also understood that this
The honor of being the first to walk into the palace hall naturally had to be given to Li Xinchen.
"Your Highness," Pei Zilie came up quickly, "people have been sent into the palace in two groups to search for Chen Shubao, and a team of people have also been sent to search various palaces in the palace. The navy and Chen Zhishen set up large nets in the east and north of the city, and walked away
Can’t take it off.”
Li Xingchen smiled. He could almost guess where Chen Shubao was. He still had to wait for Chen Shubao to give him the Zen throne. Otherwise, it would be unreasonable for the emperor to inherit the throne from heaven like the King of Han.
"Let's go in." Li Xingchen nodded and strode towards the palace.
The last time I came to this place, I went to the capital to boast about my merits and then reported my work to Chen Xu, right?
In the blink of an eye, he became the owner of this place.
Taicheng, Taicheng, Li Xingchen thought of another name for this city, and couldn't help but smile. The world has changed with vicissitudes, and the changes in the Southern Dynasties should have ended here. Next, it is up to you to complete the unification of China after three hundred years of fragmentation.
.
The main hall is still the one that Li Xingchen is familiar with. The vermilion doors open to both sides. The servants kneel on both sides tremblingly. Standing at the door, you can already see the interplay of light and shadow inside, and see the carved beams and painted pillars that symbolize the authority of the royal family.
One thick pillar after another.
Finally, Li Xingchen's eyes passed through the main hall and fell on the Danqi and the dragon chair above.
"Your Highness, please ascend the throne!" Pei Zilie said loudly.
"Your Highness, please ascend the throne!" (To be continued)
