Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 855 Entering the Imperial Palace

He had already bought a manor at the foot of Tianzhi Mountain in Tianzhi Prefecture, as a precautionary measure, and it was just right for use at this moment.

It is right under the nose of the Zhenxi Army, commonly known as the darkest place under the lamp, so it is still very safe.

Xu Jin's plan was also very good. After hiding his identity, he brought the beauty of his dreams back home. He should not be sad in his next life.

As the emperor's chief bodyguard, Xu Jin had saved a lot of his wealth, not to mention the emperor's favorite concubine Du, who was also worth a lot of money.

With the two of them joining forces, I won’t even mention how prosperous their life is.

There are many things like this in the entire Dazong Imperial City.

All the wealthy and powerful people had made plans for themselves early on. Once the city was broken, they would scatter like birds and beasts.

Therefore, in every building in Kyoto, no matter whether rich or poor, almost nothing was left except for those large and heavy items that could not be moved, such as gold, silver, jewelry, cloth, food, etc.

After more than 100,000 Taisho Imperial Army troops entered the city, they killed 20,000 pirates and then searched everywhere, but they actually found very little.

General Luo Yunfei ordered the soldiers to tidy up the inner courtyard of the imperial palace, which had been messed up by the pirates, and restore it to its original appearance as much as possible.

So that when the emperor comes, he won’t be angry about this.

Indeed, Zhao Zheng was mentally prepared for this. After half a month's journey, he led his personal guard battalion to the outskirts of Kyoto.

Zhao Zheng looked up at the tall city wall and sighed in his heart.

This is the place where he had played since he was a child, and it is still as majestic as before.

A group of guards surrounded Emperor Taisho and slowly entered the east gate of Kyoto City.

The place has been cleaned up very neatly, with clean water splashed on the streets, washing away the bloodstains after the war.

Rows of neatly-organized Taisho Imperial Army soldiers were lined up on both sides of the wide street, with spears pointed at the top, exuding a sense of majesty and solemnity.

When Zhao Zheng's horse passed by, all the soldiers knelt on one knee, lowered their heads and shouted.

"Welcome Your Majesty to the capital..."

Zhao Zheng smiled and nodded with satisfaction at Luo Yunfei who was standing beside him.

We arrived at the Imperial Palace in the center of Kyoto. The red gate was still as bright as before, and the sunlight reflected on countless copper nails as big as bowls, making them sparkle.

The palace maids and eunuchs in the Luocheng Palace had already arrived and were kneeling in front of the palace gate waiting for Zhao Zheng's arrival.

Zhao Zheng dismounted from his horse and strode into the palace gate.

He was very familiar with this place and walked quickly towards Zhengde Hall without anyone leading the way.

This is where the court meetings are held. It is also the largest hall in the imperial palace and the highest authority of the Dazong Dynasty.

The hall was empty. In the huge space, on the high steps, the dragon throne that Zhao Zheng had been thinking about day and night was standing quietly on the high platform, exuding a majestic aura.

Zhao Zheng took slow steps, getting closer and closer to the dragon throne.

He was very excited and a little nervous. He clenched his fists and his body trembled slightly. He shook off the support of the guards and stepped onto the steps by himself.

He first stroked the delicate texture on the dragon throne with his hand, then suddenly turned around and looked at the spacious hall with a smug smile on his face.

Then, he slowly bent his body and sat down on the dragon throne.

The hard wood makes it uncomfortable to sit on.

But this is the unique symbol of power in the entire Dazong Dynasty. Even if there is a pile of sharp stones under his butt, Zhao Zheng will sit on it without hesitation.

His eyes scanned the surroundings majestically, imagining the solemn scene of civil and military officials bowing and kowtowing.

Zhao Zheng was intoxicated.

There were only four civil and military ministers accompanying Zhao Zheng into the hall, and they were standing on the left and right of the Danchi.

On the left are the National Master Lan Yu and Prime Minister Miao Changfeng.

On the right are General Luo Yunfei and General Qiu Jie.

Zhao Zheng closed his eyes, immersed in great happiness.

After a while, he opened his eyes and looked at Luo Yunfei.

"Where did Zhao Zhen go?"

"Your Majesty, Zhao Zhen has already fled to Jingxi Prefecture."

Zhao Zheng glanced at the four ministers, all of whom were the founding heroes who had accompanied him.

"Who has a way to make Zhao Zhen kneel at my feet?"

Seeing that he was still in a dream, Lan Yu immediately bowed and played.

"Your Majesty, Jingxi Prefecture is already under the control of the Zhenxi Army. If we don't start a war with them for the time being, I'm afraid we won't be able to apprehend Zhao Zhen and the others."

Zhao Zhengyi waved his hand: "I know, I'm just talking nonsense."

Everyone couldn't help but smile.

It turns out that the emperor is not still in a dream.

After Zhao Zheng finished speaking, he scratched his hair with his hands and grinned.

"That won't do. Those guys have all gotten away, which makes me very unhappy. How can I capture them and bring them back to participate in my coronation ceremony?"

Qiu Jie immediately reported, "Your Majesty, I heard that Prince Rui Zhao Xun, along with some of his ministers, has fled to Jinggao Prefecture. Although he still has 30,000 Imperial Guards, they are outside the Zhenxi Army's territory, so perhaps we can capture them."

"Well, that makes sense. General Qiu's words are very reasonable. You generals can discuss it and come up with a feasible solution."

He paused here and glanced at everyone with dignity.

"I want to unify the entire Taisho region."

The four ministers immediately bowed and responded loudly.

Zhao Zhengyi waved his hand: "Okay, you guys go and do your work, I want to go for a walk."

This palace is where Zhao Zheng lived when he was a child. His shadow can be seen everywhere in the entire palace, so it would be a shame not to take a look back.

Accompanied by guards, palace maids and eunuchs, Zhao Zheng went to the back of Zhengde Hall.

The four ministers also walked out of the hall. Nearly a hundred civil and military officials of the Da Zheng Dynasty were waiting outside. They gathered around and congratulated General Luo and others for their achievements.

The entire palace was filled with laughter and joy.

Everything Zhao Zheng had in the Luocheng Palace was transported to Kyoto City one after another.

The families of civil and military officials also moved to Kyoto.

The entire Kyoto city has been emptied and all the mansions have been vacated. It is a good time for Zhao Zheng to reward his ministers.

The three generals of the Taisho Imperial Army were gathered together to discuss how to capture the Jinggaofu Castle.

Although we cannot capture Zhao Zhen in Jingxi Mansion for the time being, we can take action against Prince Rui Zhao Xun first. It is better than nothing, and we must make the emperor happy.

The three generals were very proud to have captured such a magnificent city, and they felt that they had made a great achievement in their military careers.

They are all heroes who founded the country, and their names will definitely be recorded in history books.

In order to make the emperor happier, some things must be done.

Jinggao Prefecture is an isolated city. Although it has 30,000 imperial guards, it is isolated and helpless. We only need to send 60,000 troops there to trap them.

There is no need to attack the city, and they will starve to death in less than a month.

The three generals were discussing the matter with great enthusiasm, and for a moment they felt that the whole world could be conquered; it was only a matter of time.

However, they all forgot that outside Kyoto City, there were two Acropolis, like two nails, firmly nailed outside the west gate of Kyoto City.

No one from the Taisho Imperial Army dared to enter this area, for fear of causing misunderstandings and leading to armed conflict.
