Jin Feng and Ninth Princess also heard about the people coming to the capital. When they learned that Chen Ji had gone to the west gate, they rushed there under the escort of bodyguards.
When they arrived at the west gate, Chen Ji happened to get off the imperial chariot, and the three of them climbed up the city wall together.
Looking around, the official road outside the city is full of people, extending from the city gate to the end of sight.
When the emperor traveled, he not only had to raise the dragon flag, but also support the canopy.
The so-called canopy is a large yellow umbrella made of bright yellow satin.
Chen Ji climbed up the city wall, and Long Qi and Huagai naturally followed.
In the feudal era, bright yellow was a symbol of the royal family. Not to mention ordinary people, even the rich and powerful did not dare to use it.
With such a conspicuous color, the people below the city naturally saw it.
"Look, His Majesty is on the city wall!"
I don't know who shouted, and the people knelt down towards the city wall one after another, shouting: "Long live my emperor, long live the emperor! May your Royal Highness the Ninth Princess live a thousand years! May the Imperial Master be blessed with good health!"
At first, only the people below the city knelt down, and then the people on the official road saw the people in front of them kneeling down, and they also knelt down and shouted.
For a time, the kneeling people spread all the way westward from the city gate.
At this time, the people at the city gate had stopped shouting, but the shouts in the distance did not stop, and they could be heard clearly from miles away!
"Are these people coming to the capital to express their gratitude?"
Chen Ji put down the telescope, his face flushed with excitement.
During his years as emperor, he also held several large-scale sacrificial activities.
For the sake of the emperor's pomp, the officials of the Ministry of Rites would arrange for a large number of people to attend every time, which was called the worship of all people.
But Chen Ji knew in his heart that these people went there because they had no choice but not sincerely.
But this time no one arranged it, and the people came spontaneously to express gratitude.
The number of people is far more than ten thousand.
This kind of scene was something Chen Ji had never dared to imagine before.
"Yes, my father's order to reduce taxes is a blessing to all the people and has given countless people a way to live. They are naturally grateful to my father!"
The voice of the Ninth Princess was also a little more choked up: "Father, as long as you persevere, you will not only be the master of the revival of the Great Kang, but you will also become the most wise sage of all times, and will be respected by future generations for all generations!"
"Wuyang, don't worry, I will definitely listen to you and the Imperial Master from now on!"
Chen Ji nodded repeatedly.
Actually speaking seriously, Jin Feng and Ninth Princess had been drawing cakes for Chen Ji.
Although Chen Ji agreed to listen to them, he still felt a little conflicted in his heart.
But now that he has seen with his own eyes the scene of thousands of people worshiping him, Chen Ji gradually became determined.
The coming of all people to court is the best evidence to prove whether a king wins the hearts of the people. Throughout the ages, only a handful of kings have achieved this.
Chen Ji did it!
For a moment, Chen Ji felt that his throat was a little blocked, and he turned to look at Jin Feng with eyes filled with gratitude.
I didn't feel disgusted or overstepped by the people's praise of Jin Feng.
He is not a fool and knows how everything happened today.
If it weren't for Jin Feng, Dang Xiang, Tubo and the Eastern Barbarians would have invaded the Central Plains long ago, it would be good if he could maintain the previous taxation. It would be a fool's errand to lower taxes for the people.
At that point, let alone all the people coming to court, thank God if the people don't secretly scold him.
It can be said that without Jin Feng, there would be no Dakang today.
"Your Majesty, the descendants of Yan and Huang are the most grateful nation. If someone gives you a drop of kindness, they will try their best to repay it with a spring of water!"
Jin Feng said: "Your Majesty does not need to listen to anyone in the future, but puts himself in the shoes of the people. The people will naturally be of the same mind as you! He who wins the hearts of the people will win the world. As long as you have the support of the people, the great prosperity of the country will always be strong."
Like a rock!”
"Father, the Imperial Master once said that the people's support is the fate of the country, and the one who wins the people's support wins the world!"
The Ninth Princess also took the opportunity to admonish: "The king is the boat, and the people are the water. Water can carry the boat or capsize it! Father, you must never do anything that wastes the people and hurts the money in the future!"
"The kindness of a drop of water will be repaid by a spring of water!"
"The king is the boat and the people are the water. The water can carry the boat or capsize it!"
“People’s support is the destiny of the country!”
"He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world!"
Chen Ji's expression became more and more serious as he thought about Jin Feng's words.
These words are all the famous sayings of kings and country that Jin Feng heard in his previous life. After listening to them, Chen Ji had the same enlightenment and enlightenment feeling as the Ninth Princess when he heard them for the first time.
"National Preceptor, you are indeed as talented as Wuyang in governing the country!"
Chen Ji looked at Jin Feng with eyes full of admiration: "I will remember your words."
"Father, you must not only remember these words yourself, but also pass them on to the descendants of our Chen family so that they will remember them from generation to generation. Only in this way will the Chen family's legacy last forever!" said the Ninth Princess.
"well!"
Chen Ji nodded and ordered: "Yinque, write down what the imperial master and Wuyang just said, and post it on my bedside and in the imperial study room. I will read it every day from now on!"
"That's pretty much it."
The Ninth Princess was finally satisfied and smiled so much that her eyes turned into crescent moons.
Seeing that the Ninth Princess was happy, Chen Ji also laughed.
Basically all father-in-laws dislike their sons-in-law because they took away their little cotton-padded jackets.
Even though Jin Feng defeated the Dangxiang and Tubo invasions in Qingshui Valley and Damangpo, Chen Ji had a particularly strong opinion of Jin Feng before he entered Beijing.
But as Jin Feng came to Beijing, the two sides came into more and more contact, and Chen Ji slowly began to accept Jin Feng.
At this time, seeing all the people coming to the court, the last grudge against Jin Feng in my heart finally disappeared.
Looking at Jin Feng again, I feel more and more pleasing to the eye.
"Your Majesty, a large number of people have gathered at the East Gate and South Gate. Do you want to go and take a look?"
Qin Zhen ran over and asked for instructions with a embarrassed look on his face.
"Go and have a look."
Chen Ji waved his hand and said.
It was a rare occasion that all the people came to court, so he had to show his face.
"Your Majesty, should you go to the east gate or the south gate first? I can arrange manpower to clean up the streets."
Qin Zhen asked for instructions again.
At this time, many people had entered the city, and the streets were full of people.
When the emperor travels, the team is extremely large, and the crowd must be evacuated first.
"With so many people, where should they evacuate?"
Jin Feng glanced at the city, turned around and asked, "Your Majesty, Wuyang, haven't you always wanted to experience a hot air balloon? How about we take a hot air balloon ride around the outside of the city?"
"May I?"
Ninth Princess and Chen Ji asked in unison.
Chen Ji is a fun-loving person. Ever since he saw a hot air balloon, he has been itching to do it. He twice asked Jin Feng to try it.
But Jin Feng has been busy dealing with powerful people recently, so how can he have time to play with him? So he refused both times.
As the emperor, Chen Jigui naturally wanted to save face. After being rejected twice, he never mentioned the matter again.
Although the Ninth Princess was too sensible to mention it, she had always been curious about the hot air balloon and had been waiting for Jin Feng to invite her to take a ride.
