Chapter 1918 Fang Jun’s prestige
The welcoming team entered Chang'an City in a mighty manner. The people were already bored during their winter leisure. It was unprecedented for a foreign monarch to visit Chang'an in person, and she was an extremely rare "female emperor" in the world. Naturally, their interest was greatly increased. People come in droves to watch.
Starting from Baqiao, people came in an endless stream and gathered on both sides of the road. When they arrived in Chang'an City, it was already a sea of people. Jingzhao Yin Mazhou immediately dispatched Jingzhao Prefecture and Chang'an and Wannian county yamen to quickly dispatch Patrol officers and government officials maintain law and order, ensure smooth traffic, and prevent fights and other bad incidents. They also give a stern warning that once discovered, they will be severely punished!
If chaos breaks out in the glorious imperial capital of China at this time, wouldn't it be a slap in the face for itself?
The convoy slowly passed through Tonghua Gate and entered the city.
In the wide and deep city gate, the carriage moved forward slowly. The bluestone city gate blocked the skylight, giving people a heavy psychological pressure. When they walked out of the city gate, the sudden reappearance of skylight made Queen Seon Deok and Jin Seungman in the carriage feel relieved.
On the left side of the road, the majestic Xingqing Palace is hidden behind a lane. The roads in the city are straight and spacious, and the lanes are neatly laid out. With the archery tower, it is conceivable that if the enemy attacked Chang'an, even if they broke into the city, they would still have to face strong resistance from the Tang Dynasty soldiers and civilians.
A city is an impregnable fortress!
What's more, Queen Seondeok looked back at the majestic city wall behind her from the swaying curtains of the carriage, wondering where in the world there is an army that can break through such a city wall defense?
In comparison, Jincheng, the capital of Silla, is simply an earthen building in the countryside...
"The Tang Dynasty was so prosperous!"
Jin Shengman has a lively nature. At this moment, he raised the car curtain and looked at the majestic and prosperous Chang'an, and couldn't help but sigh.
Along the way along the waterway, we passed through big cities such as Huating Town, Suzhou, Jiangdu, etc. The scale of each city was something Jin Shengman had never seen before. The big cities with hundreds of thousands of people were what Jin Shengman had only dreamed of. It was something that was unimaginable, but now when Chang'an, a super city with a population of more than one million, appeared before our eyes, the shock was beyond words.
But what Queen Seondeok saw in her eyes was the confidence, pride, and vitality on the faces of the people among the bustling crowds on both sides of the road!
It seems that in the eyes of these ordinary people, the majestic Queen of Silla is just a novelty for everyone to watch and be curious about. Perhaps it is not just Silla, but all the countries in the world. In the eyes of the Tang people, they are all just a bunch of country dogs. As long as the Tang army Wherever the iron hoof goes, everyone bows down and becomes a vassal, while those who rebel are wiped out in ashes...
They were dressed in gorgeous clothes, and each of them was full of energy. While giving advice and discussing, the secrets of the world came to their faces!
Every Tang person seems to be proud to the core!
Queen Seonde pursed her lips, feeling both thankful and hostile, and then full of expectations...
The motorcade moved forward slowly and was about to arrive at Yanxi Gate.
Fang Jun rode in the middle of the team, a horse's head behind Li Chengqian, and rode forward.
Some of the people watching on the roadside booed and shouted: "Fang Erlang, I heard that the Queen of Silla is extremely beautiful, why don't you take her into your palace, take her as a concubine, and give birth to a son in the future, who will become the king of Silla? So, Then Silla will have the blood of our Tang Dynasty for generations and form a family with the Tang Dynasty?”
Another person said: "Fang Erlang, you are worthless. When other generals broke through the city to offer their country, they were all the princesses and princesses who took them into their back houses. You didn't even catch any of them. It is simply a shame for the generals of the Tang Dynasty!" Could it be that he was kidnapped by His Highness Gao Yang and Lady Wu and became a rabbit?”
"Hahaha..."
There was laughter all around.
Fang Jun sat on the horse, shaking his head and saying nothing, with a look of helplessness on his face.
He is not destined to be a hero. He seems to be a high-ranking official with a great reputation, but even the most ordinary people are not afraid of him and dare to make such a joke in public. However, not only is he not annoyed at all, but he is also very useful... …
You bitch!
He sat on the horse, pointed at the person who was speaking, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers on the left and right, please keep an eye on me. If this person dares to speak again, I will immediately take him down, strip him naked, and hang him on the city gate tower." ! ”
The people laughed again. The person who spoke might have just drank wine, his face was red and his mind was a little unclear. He had the courage to make fun of Fang Jun. Now he was so frightened that he quickly stepped back, but was pushed by the people around him. As he walked forward, he reached the front of the crowd. Two soldiers with big muscles and round waists immediately stepped forward and stared at him eagerly. As long as the man dared to speak, he would be stripped naked and hung up on the tower to blow the cold air to wake him up.
The man was so scared that he covered his mouth...
Li Chengqian shook his head and laughed.
He did not take this kind of disrespectful behavior seriously.
In his mind, the most harmonious society is when the king and his ministers get along well with each other and the officials and the people enjoy themselves together. The emperor's officials are aloof, the traders and lackeys are like clouds of mud, and the people at the bottom tremble when they see the officials. Can this reflect the emperor's majesty?
I'm afraid not.
Like Fang Jun, he looks like a dandy, he can be beaten at will, and anyone who dares to provoke him will be punished. His "notorious reputation" spread throughout Guanzhong, and the Jiangnan gentry's expressions change. However, he can be so loved by the people, and he is not afraid of him at all. Official power, Fang Jun has never used official power to bully the people. They are like family friends. When the people are wronged or framed, they will first think of going to Fang Erlang to seek justice...
And this is exactly what Li Chengqian yearns for.
He looked at the somewhat embarrassed Fang Jun with a smile, and felt more and more in his heart that this son was the minister of the humerus given to him by God. In the future, he would definitely assist him to achieve great achievements just like Fang Du assisted his father, and make the Tang Dynasty even more prosperous. Go to the next level!
In the carriage behind, Queen Seondeok and Jin Shengman felt a little incredible when they heard the people's teasing and Fang Jun's reaction.
How could this treacherous villain, who was like a devil in the eyes of the Silla people, be so kind to the people of the Tang Dynasty, and not be annoyed at all by the ridicule and heckles that were threatening to affect his prestige?
Moreover, from the fact that people dared to tell such jokes, we can see how gentle and generous Fang Jun was among the people of the Tang Dynasty...
The contrast between the two periods is too huge.
Jin Shengman bit his lip and said in a hateful voice: "What nonsense are you talking about? Asking my sister to give him a child? Returning all the princesses to the back house? Bah! If you really dare to have such ambitions, I will raise the knife in my hand and click it... …”
"Shengman, be careful what you say!"
Queen Seondeok's exquisite makeup showed little emotion, and she scolded calmly: "This is the capital of the Tang Dynasty. You and I live under someone else's roof. We must control our mouths and be careful of trouble coming from our mouths."
Jin Shengman frowned, dissatisfied: "I'm just talking, I don't believe that Fang Jun really dares to do anything to me? If my sister and I have any shortcomings, the Tang Dynasty conquered Silla and thought that the ambition of Pingfan would definitely fail. Silla's subjects To avenge you and me, we will fight to the death!”
Queen Seon Deok looked at her proud cousin speechlessly, not knowing what to say.
Who gave you such confidence?
Still fighting to the death... Do you believe that as long as Fang Erlang leads the army here, when the army arrives, the leaders of the "six tribes" will immediately bow their knees and become hawks and dogs?
For Silla, no one could resist the temptation of being accepted as a vassal by the Tang Dynasty, especially when the Tang army was approaching the city!
As the Queen of Silla, she knew very well that as the Silla people who were most influenced by Chinese culture, they had a natural affection for China in their bones. Now that the Tang Dynasty's military power was at its peak, it made the Silla people worship and worship from the bottom of their hearts. Rumu, and Silla had been under the oppression of Goguryeo and Baekje for a long time, and had a strong desire for the protection of the strong.
Under such circumstances, how could the Silla people refuse to become the Pingfan of the Tang Dynasty?
"How can you not bow your head when you are under the eaves? In short, you must rein in your unruly temper in the future, otherwise you will get into trouble, and even my sister will not be able to protect you."
Queen Seondeok warned.
This sister is innocent and has been spoiled since she was a child. If she goes wrong, how can she protect her as well as before in Chang'an City?
Jin Shengman was startled, stared at her beautiful eyes, and said: "Sister, if that Fang Jun really has evil intentions towards me, you won't leave me alone, right?"
Queen Shande rolled her eyes and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? That Fang Jun is a hero of the world, and a powerful official after the Tang Dynasty. If he intends to take you as a concubine, my sister will be eager to do so. There is no need to be right." What bad things did you do?”
