I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

Chapter 312 Arriving in the south of Shanxi, hundreds of officials welcome

"It's Mr. Xie Ge!"

"At Xie Ge's age, he still braved the heavy snow to go out of the city to welcome him. Could it be that His Majesty the Empress really returned to Beijing?"

The diners were inexplicably excited when they saw the scene in front of them.

As the saying goes, a country cannot live without a king, and a family cannot live without a master.

Her Majesty the Empress went to Chang'an not long after she ascended the throne, and there was no news for nearly half a year. This is undoubtedly unacceptable to scholars in the Zhou Kingdom.

Many scholars look forward to the stars and the moon, hoping that His Majesty will return to Jinnan one day.

In that case, the Great Zhou Empire was at least a complete empire and had not been reduced to a vassal of the Qian Kingdom.

Now, they finally waited for this day!

"Go! Let's go out of the city to meet Her Majesty the Empress!"

A drunken scholar raised his arms and shouted, without any hesitation, he stepped out of the restaurant.

The rest of the diners looked at each other, showing approval, and followed.

The same scene also happened in various shops, restaurants and mansions.

a time.

The entire Jinnan City was empty of thousands of people.

Xie Qian staggered along, looking at the crowded crowd on both sides, his vicissitudes of life showed a look of sadness.

Because he knew in his heart that this time he went out of the city to welcome not only the Empress, but also the real ruler of the Great Zhou Dynasty—the regent Fang Xiu!

Moreover, he probably guessed Fang Xiu's purpose for coming to Jinnan this time.

From now on, the Great Zhou court may never be able to return to its previous state.

If Fang Xiu was merciful, the six ministries and nine ministers in Jinnan City could still play the role of a local government and lead most of the Zhou Kingdom.

If Fang Xiu insisted on exterminating them, the ministers in Jinnan City might become puppets at the mercy of others.

but.

As early as when he decided to negotiate peace with Qian Guo, Xie Qian thought that such a day would come.

Therefore, he had already made sufficient mental preparations, just sighed leisurely, and continued to move forward with all the officials.

above the city gate.

A thick and solemn drum sounded.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
The gorgeous fireworks soared into the sky, blooming beautiful patterns.

The people surrounding the street subconsciously looked up at the sky, all attracted by the beautiful scenery.

On the city floor.

A figure shrouded in a black robe stood in place.

She looked down at the thousands of people, her expression was extremely serious, and she said calmly: "If something happens later, you stop the people and protect Fang Xiu, I alone will be enough."

Behind.

Dozens of shadow guards had already gotten used to the commander's way of speaking, so they didn't find it strange, and saluted, "Yes, my lord!"

Tang Rou looked down at the snow-capped land, and there was a hint of sadness in her beautiful eyes.

Before she knew it, she had been in Jinnan for more than a year.

Recalling the past, the scene of assassinating Fang Xiu seems to be still in front of him.

Now, she is still her, Fang Xiu is still Fang Xiu.

Her identity has changed from the original assassin to the current bodyguard. It has to be said that good luck tricks people.

Do not know why.

Looking at the excited Zhou people, Fang Xiu's figure inexplicably appeared in Tang Rou's mind.

I thought to myself.

If these people knew that the person who was coming was Fang Xiu, wouldn't they still show such enthusiasm?
Simultaneously.

She also remembered what Fang Xiu told her when he sent her to Jinnan a year ago, as long as she did her job well, she and her sister would be relieved of the poison of heartbreak in the future.

But I don't know if Fang Xiu still remembers the promise he made.

"It should be just a casual sentence, but now I'm afraid I've already forgotten it."

Thinking of this, Tang Rou sighed inwardly.

at this time.

The drums on the tower became more and more intensive.

In addition, there are other sounds of various musical instruments, forming a magnificent and melodious tune, which makes people feel excited.

The people who went out of the city felt even more excited when they heard this magnificent tune.

At this moment, they were almost certain that the person who was coming was their Majesty the Empress!
After all, besides Her Majesty the Empress, who else could have such a battle?

Just at this time.

On the official road outside the city gate.

A convoy is slowly approaching.

On both sides are guards riding tall horses and wearing cloaks, who are definitely the elite of the elite at a glance.

In comparison, the carriage in the middle looks unremarkable.

even so.

The people watching were still clearly aware that the carriage contained Her Majesty the Empress who was about to return to Beijing.

"coming."

Xie Qian looked at the slowly approaching carriage, tightened the cloak on his body, glanced at the officials behind him, and said, "Your Majesty and His Highness are about to arrive in the capital, and you will pay a visit with me."

All the officials responded in unison: "Yes, Mr. Ge."

Time passed minute by minute.

After a while.

The carriage slowly stopped.

Seeing this, Xie Qian walked up with staggering steps, saluted respectfully, and shouted loudly in an old voice: "Chairman for Political Affairs, Chief Assistant of the Cabinet Xie Qian, welcome Your Majesty and Your Highness back to Beijing!"

The voice fell.

The officials behind him followed closely and saluted: "I welcome Your Majesty and Your Highness back to Beijing!"

The movements are uniform and the voice is loud.

After hearing this, the onlookers were stunned for a moment, and there was a doubt in their hearts: "Who is Your Highness?"

"Which prince can be compared with His Majesty?"

Someone showed doubts and asked.

No one in the crowd could answer.

There are many princes in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but most of them are decorations. They are just some moths supported by the court with money. They don't have their own fiefdoms, and they can't enter the court as officials. They receive a certain salary every year and live a life of eating and dying. day.

There is no doubt that such a prince's status in the court is very low.

Because the common people don't understand which prince is the one who can be mentioned with His Majesty when the officials greet him.

After a while of discussion among the crowd.

Suddenly someone realized something and said loudly: "Could it be that the regent is also here?"

As soon as this word comes out.

The onlookers were silent for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of more heated discussions erupted.

"If it is His Royal Highness the Regent, it is understandable for the officials to do so."

"However, our Highness the Regent is also the Prime Minister of the Qian Kingdom. I heard that he is still a powerful minister. He will accompany His Majesty to come to Jinnan?"

"Speaking of which, the Regent and His Majesty are husband and wife. Isn't it human nature to go back to Jinnan together?"

"If it is really the regent, will he return to Chang'an? If he stays in our Jinnan, doesn't it mean that the alliance between the two countries is dominated by our Great Zhou?"

Under the propaganda of various newspapers.

Even the beggars in Jinnan City knew what kind of existence Fang Xiu, the regent, was.

It is no exaggeration to say that Fang Xiu, the regent, as the prime minister of the Qian Kingdom, is almost the same in the court of the Qian Kingdom.

The word "powerful" is not an exaggeration to describe him.

What's even more exaggerated is that even the Dagan Shenji Battalion that defeated the Huben Army was created by the Regent.

The chief general of the army, Bai Qi, is the absolute confidant of the regent, who was single-handedly promoted by the regent.

and so.

They clearly understood that as long as His Royal Highness the Regent can stay in Jinnan, the alliance between the imperial court and Qianguo will give the imperial court the upper hand!
After all, even the officials of the Qian Kingdom had to obey the orders of His Royal Highness the Regent.

With this thought in mind, the people watching became even more excited.

When there is a lot of people.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted.

A figure in a python robe stepped out of the first carriage.

He was tall and straight, handsome, and his face was as white as jade. Just standing there, he had an indescribable aura.

Between gestures, there is a natural and elegant temperament.

A woman with a stunning face followed him out of the carriage, first looked around, then seemed not expecting so many people to greet her, she was startled for a moment, then stood upright, and put a piece embroidered with a dark golden python The black cloak with the pattern was draped over the man's body.

The black background, the dark golden python pattern, and the purple gold embroidery added a bit of solemnity and majesty to the originally luxurious man.

There is no doubt that this temperamental man is the legendary husband of Her Majesty the Empress, the regent of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the prime minister of Daqian——Fang Xiu!
"Master Xiang, there are a lot of people."

Yang Yuhuan draped a special cloak on Fang Xiu's body, with a serious face, but he was actually thinking in a low voice.

"Master Xiang, this is the first time that my family has changed clothes for Master Xiang in front of so many people. I'm so nervous."

"If I had known that there were so many people welcoming me, my family would not have put on rouge. If I stole the limelight from Madam, Madam would definitely blame my family."

"In the south of Shanxi, if Madam beats the slave's family, the Prime Minister must protect the slave's family."

Fang Xiu glanced at her and thought, "Why do I feel that you are not only not nervous, but rather excited."

I wanted to remind her to restrain herself in front of the civil and military officials of the state of Zhou and the common people, and not to do something shocking.

After thinking about it, although Yang Yuhuan likes to play tricks on weekdays, she has never made a mistake on important occasions.

So he just said: "Wait and follow the truth, don't run around."

"The slaves know."

Yang Yuhuan nodded lightly, responded, then straightened Fang Xiu's clothes, then stepped back consciously, standing quietly, trying not to look so conspicuous.

Even so, many officials and common people noticed her.

After all, she didn't wear a veil when she stepped out of the carriage this time.

Such a delicate face, even if it is hidden in a corner, will inevitably attract the attention of many people.

"As expected of His Royal Highness the Regent, any little maid beside you is stunningly beautiful."

Someone noticed Yang Yuhuan's face, and couldn't help sighing in their hearts, feeling extremely envious.

at this time.

Fang Xiu walked towards the next carriage and opened the curtain.

"Your Majesty, Jinnan is ahead, get out of the car."

Fang Xiu looked at the cold woman in the car who had already changed into a dragon robe, and said calmly.

Li Yaoyue, who was wearing a purple-gold dragon robe, kept thinking about the cheers of the people in her ears, and thousands of sighs rose in her heart. She was silent for a few seconds, and then slowly got up.

When getting off the carriage.

Fang Xiu held her hand all the time, just like the day they got married.

He took her hand and led her off the sedan chair.

In Li Yaoyue's memory, this was the first time she had physical contact with Fang Xiu.

That is at this moment.

Suddenly, some vague memories flooded into her mind.

These memories flashed like a revolving lantern and gradually became clear.

at the same time.

A picture appeared in her mind.

She was wearing an exquisite wedding dress, and Fang Xiu was smiling, standing in front of the sedan chair and reaching out to help her.

It was a memory of when the two got married.

She thought it was impossible for her to recall it in her life, but she did not expect to recover this memory at this time. Although there were only some scattered fragments, it still made her feel melancholy.

"The officials and common people are watching, cheer up, Your Majesty the Empress."

Seeing Li Yaoyue's absent-minded look, Fang Xiu lowered his voice and reminded him.

A dazed look appeared in Li Yaoyue's eyes, and she nodded slightly.

Let Fang Xiu hold his hand, walk side by side with him, and walk towards the city gate.

Standing together, the two of them had excellent looks and temperament.

The onlookers looked at the two of them, their hearts were surging, and they all shouted:

"Long live Your Majesty the Empress! A thousand years old, Your Highness the Regent!"

The sound is loud and persistent.

When Li Yaoyue heard the shouts of the common people, a look of trance appeared in her eyes.

Obviously, she never thought that she and Fang Xiu would have such a status in the hearts of the people of Da Zhou.

Fang Xiu seemed to have seen Li Yaoyue's thoughts, thought for a while, and lowered his voice: "Don't think too much, it should be arranged by Xie Qian."

Hearing this, Li Yaoyue was startled for a moment, then regained her composure and continued to move forward.

What they don't know is.

In fact, no one arranged for these people to go out of the city to greet them, and no one asked them to call them long live or thousand years old.

The reason why they did this was that they were really excited about the return of His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Regent to the court.

Xie Qian and the officials behind him were all in a daze when they heard the tsunami-like shouts from the surrounding mountains.

At this moment, they felt inexplicable in their hearts.

For the people in southern Shanxi, what they want is very simple.

Just a monarch who can lead them to live a stable life, nothing more.

Emperor Zhou, who was already on the throne of Zen, pretended to be the common people in his heart, but because of his character flaws, he was eager for quick success and instant benefits, so he implemented the New Deal not long after he took the throne.

It just offended the vast number of gentry, and actually offended the unbearable common people enough.

Today, the people in southern Shanxi have only one wish, to live a stable life, that's all.

Undoubtedly, the appearance of Her Majesty the Empress and Her Majesty the Regent gave them a glimpse of the dawn.

Either way, change is a good thing.

After a while.

Li Yaoyue and Fang Xiu came to Baiguan.

Li Yaoyue, who was wearing a dragon robe, looked extremely solemn, looked at Xie Qian and Baiguan who were kneeling in front of him, and said in a cold voice: "Pingshen!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xie Qian and Baiguan responded in unison, then stood up.

"Enter the city!"

Li Yaoyue's cold voice sounded again.

Xie Qian and Baiguan saluted one after another, and then gave way.

Li Yaoyue and Fang Xiu continued to walk side by side, walking towards the palace step by step!
at the same time.

The excited shouts of the people resounded through Jinnan City like a sound wave!
