Snowflakes were falling, and on the road of Tianshan County, a group of knights were galloping on their horses.
The leader is wearing a black iron frame, but underneath is an ocher yellow lining with dragon-shaped dark patterns on the robe. His identity is already revealed.
Leaving Beijing on the fifth day of November, Zhao Yanxun spent seven days traveling all the way from the capital to Longyou.
During this period, he passed by the palace, and he only stayed there for one night, and continued his journey north the next day.
On November 14th, Zhao Yanxun arrived at Bei'an Mansion.
Prior to this, he had already sent a summons to the Northwest Governor's Office and the Forbidden Army Commandery to convene a meeting on the fifteenth day.
The discussions convened by the emperor were of the highest standard, and civil and military officials naturally did not dare to neglect them.
So on the 14th, all those who were summoned arrived at Bei'an Mansion to welcome Zhao Yanxun's arrival.
In order to welcome Zhao Yanxun, all civil and military officials gathered outside the north gate of Fucheng, and many common people were also summoned.
On weekdays, the officers, soldiers and civilians are all busy with their own affairs, and there is basically no chance to get together like today.
Although they were hindered from doing business, most people were happy because they came to greet the emperor.
For most people in Beidi County, Zhao Yanxun had a life-saving grace for them. If the kindness was difficult to repay, it was only natural to come to greet him.
In addition to the aborigines of Beidi County, there were also people who had been exiled for more than a year. They were naturally full of hatred for Zhao Yanxun.
However, after Luo Lun's warning, the grievances of these people were gradually resolved. After all, life still had to go on.
It was about noon, and as everyone was looking forward to it, smoke and dust rose from the official road in the distance.
"Let the people stand still and obey the rules for a while!"
After saying this, Luo Lun turned to Yan Jianzhang and said, "Have you made arrangements for the martial law in the city?"
Yan Jianzhang said extremely helplessly: "Sir, you have asked me this three times!"
"It's more appropriate, there's nothing wrong with it!" Luo Lun said solemnly.
"I just ordered you, sir, don't worry!" Yan Jianzhang said with a smile.
After explaining to Yan Jianzhang and others, Luo Lun walked towards the Forbidden Army group.
"Everyone, the Emperor is about to arrive. Let's not get too angry...otherwise the Emperor will not be able to get through!"
"Master Luo, we understand the truth!" Xu Hong replied.
These two groups of people were just ordered by the imperial edict some time ago. If they show conflicts now, they will be asking for trouble.
The emperor's majesty was profound. No matter how meritorious they were, Zhao Yanxun could not stand up to Zhao Yanxun, not to mention that they were not unreasonable in the first place.
The scene was quiet at the moment, not because the people were indifferent, but because the Governor-General had warned them in advance not to make any noise.
In fact, this will test the political ability of the Northwest Governor's Office. After all, there are tens of thousands of people on site.
"I bow to the emperor, long live my emperor!"
Hundreds of civil and military officials from the Northwest Governor's Office and the Forbidden Army gathered at the scene. At this moment, they all paid homage to Zhao Yanxun.
The soldiers around him were all kneeling on one knee to salute the emperor they respected.
Of course, all the people present were also kneeling on the ground at this moment.
After reining in the reins and controlling the horses to stop moving, Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice, "Didn't I say before that there is no need to welcome us so grandly? Why do you still mobilize so many troops?"
"Reporting to the emperor, according to the regulations...the emperor is coming and the ministers and others should go out of the city hundreds of miles to welcome him. Now the ministers and others only go out of the city to welcome him. That's it..."
Before Luo Lun could finish speaking, Zhao Yanxun asked again: "What do these people say?"
It's rude to interrupt someone while they're talking, but it can disrupt someone's train of thought. If you make up lies, it's easy to get away with it.
But who is Luo Lun, the governor who rules the northwest? He still has some adaptability.
"Reporting to the Emperor, the common people come to bathe in the Emperor's favor spontaneously. How can I dare to stop them?"
"Hahaha……"
Zhao Yanxun laughed, then he rode forward and finally stopped in front of Luo Lun.
"Luo Qing, I haven't seen you for more than a year, and you haven't changed at all!" Zhao Yanxun chuckled.
Hearing this, Lauren was relieved.
As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Even if he is the most trusted minister of the emperor, Luo Lun does not dare to neglect him at all.
When he first met the emperor, his behavior of spying on the holy will sent him to prison. He has never forgotten the taste of prison food.
Luo Lun replied: "I accept the emperor's orders to run errands, and I should be cautious and consistent in my work. How dare I change and live up to the grace of God!"
Zhao Yanxun didn't say anything more. Luo Lun's answer didn't surprise him. It was hard for him to find someone to joke with.
Without telling Lorendo, Zhao Yanxun glanced in all directions and said: "You all get up, all of you get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The civil and military officials present stood up slowly, but their expressions were filled with fear.
There was no way, they were really trembling in front of Zhao Yanxun.
"Enter the city!"
After beating Luo Lun for the time being, Zhao Yanxun had no intention of staying any longer, so he directly ordered to enter the city.
The officials and soldiers moved out of the way, and Zhao Yanxun rode directly inside.
"Long live the Emperor...Long live the Emperor..."
As Zhao Yanxun entered the city gate, the common people and soldiers shouted, and their voices rolled in like ocean waves.
Soon, Zhao Yanxun arrived at the Governor's Office.
Entering the gate of the Governor's Office, Zhao Yanxun screened away the others, leaving only Luo Lun to follow.
"Luo Qing..."
"I'm here!"
"The translators you were looking for before asked you to send someone to learn from them. How are you doing now?"
"Your Majesty, there are many tribes in the Western Barbarians, and their languages are all kinds of strange. Among them, the three major tribes use the most languages..."
"I have recruited a hundred young students from various prefectures and counties in the northwest to study these three major languages. It has been more than two months now... and there has been some progress!"
The two northwest counties have received a hundred thousand exiled criminals. These people are all from wealthy families. It is easy to find young people with good qualifications.
Compared with farming, there is definitely a future in government, and these young people are willing to learn foreign languages.
"Well...very good, they will be of great use in the future!"
Logically speaking, Lauren should be complimentary at this time, but he didn't say a word at the moment.
"Luo Qing? Do you have a different opinion?"
After hesitating for a few seconds, Luo Lun said: "Your Majesty, I am confused!"
"you say!"
"Your Majesty, now that the Western Barbarians are marching into Tianshan County, war with our country is unavoidable, and peace talks are hopeless... In my opinion, these translators are of no use anymore!"
Hearing these words, Zhao Yanxun stopped and glanced at Luo Lun.
The latter knelt down with a plop, and then said: "Your Majesty... I am talking nonsense!"
The scene was quiet for a few seconds. Zhao Yanxun laughed twice, and then said: "There is no use for it now. It will be available when we win!"
"Get up!"
"yes!"
Continuing to walk forward, Zhao Yanxun said: "There are six to seven million people in the Western Barbarians who are fighting to the death with us. If we want to kill them all...how many people will die in our court?"
"So what the emperor means is that as long as we win this battle, we can negotiate peace with them?"
Zhao Yanxun smiled slightly and said: "No...it is only by beating them to hurt that we can divide and disintegrate them!"
"The Emperor is far-sighted!" Laurent praised.
"How sure are we of winning this battle?"
"I dare not speak nonsense!"
This is really not Luo Lun's modesty. There will be millions of people fighting in Tianshan County next. He is not qualified to judge such a war.
Sighing, Zhao Yanxun looked at the sky and said, "Yeah... who can say for sure!"
