After spending a long time, Qin Yicai brought many generals and Yi Ziying back to Zhanjing.

Before he reached the distance, which was still several miles away, Qin Yi saw a pair of armored soldiers standing upright every hundred steps on both sides of the official road ahead, solemnly and respectfully greeting them.

Qin Yi took the lead and rode forward. As he passed these soldiers, he heard the scraping sound of his armor and stomach. The soldiers knelt down on one knee uniformly and shouted in unison, "Welcome the prince!"

Every hundred steps, a pair of soldiers knelt down and shouted, which was very ceremonial.

Qin Yi walked calmly and solemnly through this official road and came to Zhanjing.

At this time, the city gate can be called a sea of ​​people!

Just in front of the city gate, hundreds of officials wearing various official robes were lined up in a square formation to greet them.

On both sides of the city gate, there are countless moving heads!

Many people put down their work and rushed to the city gate to greet him. They crowded shoulder to shoulder, tiptoed and poked their heads in, just to see the regent and see how graceful and heroic this outstanding man who had made immortal achievements was!

As soon as Qin Yi arrived in front of the city gate, he heard drum music playing loudly and the music "Big Blessing" was played to celebrate the army's return after victory.

Immediately afterwards, all the officials bowed and saluted, and shouted in unison, "Welcome ministers, we respectfully welcome the prince back to the capital!"

Qin Yi was about to speak, but he heard the roar of the mountains and the tsunami, "Welcome the prince back to the capital!"

Countless people on both sides of the city gate actually shouted in unison, the sound shook the surrounding areas and shocked all the officials.

Immediately afterwards, many people started shouting, "Your Majesty opened up new territories for our dynasty and made great contributions. He deserves to be crowned emperor!"

"Your Majesty is worthy of being the God of War in this world. He captured Liu Kang within a few months. He is unstoppable!"

"It is our great fortune to have the help of Your Majesty!"

When these shouts reached the ears of Qin Yi and the officials, they became noisy and difficult to hear clearly.

But from the excitement and joyful expressions of the people, we can know that Qin Yi's reputation has risen again!

Amid deafening cheers, Qin Yi entered the city and headed all the way to the palace city to prepare for his first morning court meeting after returning to Beijing.

An hour later, in the main hall of the palace, Qin Yi sat on the throne of the regent, while all the officials bowed and saluted, shouting in unison, "I, the humble minister, pay homage to the prince!"

Qin Yi nodded and said loudly, "No need to be polite."

The eunuch on the side shouted loudly, "If there is no problem, please leave the court!"

Before the eunuch finished saying the word "Chao", Marquis Dingjun came out of his shift very quickly, showing that he was already prepared.

Qin Yi was slightly surprised that someone could be so active. He couldn't help but look over and found that the person leaving was Marquis Dingjun. Seeing the joy on his face, Qin Yi couldn't help but laugh.

This guy must be talking about ascending to the throne, very closely!

The other party was so active and repeatedly encouraged him to advance. Qin Yi felt that if he really ascended the throne, it would be unreasonable not to make the other party a Duke.

"Your Majesty, I have a starting point for you!" Marquis Dingjun cupped his hands and said loudly.

Qin Yi nodded and signaled the other party to make a statement.

Marquis Dingjun said immediately, "Your Majesty, after all the preparations by the Ministry of Rites, the plans for his enthronement are almost complete. When the auspicious time comes, Your Majesty will be able to ascend to Dabao!"

Good guy, it really feels like rushing a duck to the shelves.

Qin Yi asked helplessly, "When exactly?"

The Minister of Rites came out and said, "After Si Tianjian's calculations, fifteen days from now will be the day when the Emperor's star will shine, and it will be the best time for the prince to ascend the throne!"

Qin Yi couldn't help but groan after hearing this.

Fifteen days later, that is, September 1, the sixth year of Zhanqing, the interval is quite short. Can Jingyi be found during this period?

Qin Yi very much hopes to find Lu Jingyi before ascending the throne.

Then they discussed it face to face. If the other party really no longer wanted to be emperor, Qin Yi would not object to proclaiming himself emperor, but if the other party wanted to, he would help the other party return to the throne.

But after such a long time, Lu Jingyi didn't show up. Qin Yi already understood what the other party was thinking. The other party was obviously frustrated.

But no matter what, Qin Yi hopes to find the other party and have a frank communication.

So Qin Yi couldn't help but asked, "The fifteenth day seems a little rushed, how about extending it for a while?"

He doesn't care about the day when the Emperor Star shines. Without him and the soldiers fighting bravely, even if the Emperor Star shines continuously for 365 days, it will not change the decline of Linzhan.

Still rushing on the 15th?

After hearing what Qin Yi said, Marquis Dingjun couldn't help but slander him.

If it weren't for the fact that the day when the Emperor's Star shines is only once in a lifetime, and it doesn't last long, it will be half a month later. Otherwise, he would be eager to start the enthronement ceremony tomorrow.

He was really afraid that Qin Yi would change his mind as soon as he woke up, so he naturally hoped that the sooner the better.

The Minister of Etiquette shook his head and said respectfully, "Reporting to the prince, the Ministry of Etiquette has prepared all the things needed for the enthronement, and nothing has been missed. It does not appear to be in a hurry. Moreover, the day when the emperor's star shines is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so it should not be missed."

When Qin Yi heard this, he could only nod his head, "In that case, let's schedule it after the fifteenth day."

Fifteen days is not a short time, and the possibility of finding Jingyi is quite high.

But in the future, we have to find time to summon Yuan Yi and ask him to give orders to Luo Zhi to search for Lu Jingyi’s traces with all his strength, the sooner the better!

He had a vague feeling that he and Lu Jingyi would meet soon.

Seeing Qin Yi agree, Marquis Dingjun couldn't help laughing, and all the officials in the hall also breathed a sigh of relief.

They were all holding their breath, fearing that Qin Yi would change his mind after returning from his expedition against Liu Kang.

Fortunately, the current situation has won the support of everyone!

After Marquis Dingjun returned to his original position, the Minister of Industry came out and said, "Your Majesty, after several months of renovation, the city wall of Zhanjing has undergone new changes. The wall has been thickened, and ballistas have been added. The defensive power is far greater than before. ”

When Qin Yi heard this, he immediately responded, "Well done, I will go on an inspection tour later."

Then, some officials came out one after another to report on the major events that had happened in the past few months, and Qin Yi responded one by one.

These include the progress of the militia project, the progress of new crops, etc.

It was Si Qimei who reported on the progress of new crops. A few months later, when he saw this dignified and elegant beauty again, Qin Yi couldn't help but have a smile in his eyes.

Even though she was wearing an official robe, Si Qimei was still so charming and charming, with a charming and fair face, as bright as jade.

With a slight movement, its plump and graceful body outlines an exciting curve, which can be said to be bulging forward and backward.

Fortunately, Qin Yi has extraordinary concentration, but his eyes are smiling, his face remains unchanged, and he does not show too much expression.

After learning about Linzhan's current situation, he also gave his opinions on many difficult issues. After that, the morning court was over. Qin Yi ate some delicious food cooked by the imperial chef in the palace, then left the palace and went to the Ministry of Industry to meet with the Minister of Industry. Wait for all the officials to go and inspect the Zhanjing city wall.

When I got to the top of the city, I found that the current Zhanjing city wall was indeed much thicker than before, about several feet, and was covered with blue bricks. Qin Yi couldn't help but nod.

He is quite satisfied with the expansion plan of Zhanjing City Wall, but if enemy soldiers really attack Zhanjing City, it will be difficult to have a big effect due to the thickness of the city wall.

After all, it has defensive power, but lacks offensive power, making it difficult to repel enemy soldiers.

The attack power comes from the guards and the counterattack fortifications on the city wall, such as ballistas.

At first, Qin Yi asked the Ministry of Industry to build crossbow carts and place them on the wall of Zhanjing City, and the other party did it. However, Qin Yi took a glance and found that these crossbow carts were basically fifty steps each, and the number was not large.

He couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Not enough, the number of ballistas is not enough, there should be one every ten steps!"

Although it is uncertain whether enemy troops will attack Zhanjing City, Zhanjing, as the imperial capital of Linzhan, must not be in danger of falling again.

Now that you are armed, be armed to the teeth!

Upon hearing this, the Minister of Industry was stunned for a moment and looked at Qin Yi blankly. He didn't know if he heard correctly.

Qin Yi nodded solemnly.

The more firepower the better, there is never enough!

A ten-step crossbow cart will not consume much of Zhanjing's national strength. After all, the raw materials for the crossbow cart are not difficult to obtain.

Moreover, these ballistas are not fixed. They can be deployed on the city walls today, and can also be carried to the city walls for field battles in the future.

It has many uses and won’t be wasted.

When the minister of the Ministry of Industry saw it, he nodded and said, "I understand that I will definitely make the required ballistae as soon as possible according to the prince's words!"

"In addition to ballistae, some thunderbolt chariots and catapults can also be equipped on the city wall." Qin Yi said.

The Thunderbolt Chariot is a small catapult, which is very useful against enemy soldiers attacking a city.

Catapults can attack distant enemy formations, enemy catapults, etc.

There doesn’t need to be too many of these, but they must be present.

"In addition, sharp weapons such as Zhuge's crossbows also need to be manufactured with all their strength, and then distributed to every military town. We should not only strengthen Zhanjing, but also the combat power of various places." Qin Yi added.

The Minister of Industry and Commerce nodded quickly, "Wei Chen understands!"

……

After inspecting the city wall, Qin Yi went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and discussed with many officials the selection of magistrates for the Liukang territory.

Then he went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to inspect the planting results of new crops. Si Qimei was holding a meeting at the Ministry of Household Affairs, so Qin Yi did not interrupt and only asked a few middle-level officials to accompany him.

Finally, Qin Yi went to the Ministry of War to learn about the progress of the militia plan and the strength of the entire Linzhan. He found that the strength of the troops was more in the southwest and less in the northeast.

Both are less than 100,000.
