In the clear sky, right after Ai Xinjueluozaichun got off the imperial boat and stood at the pier of Tongzhou, a black mass of civilians and soldiers kneeled in worship facing him.

"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"

The praises came in wave after wave, the figure that was bowing and undulating was really like the waves in the Pacific Ocean on the east coast of Ryukyu.

It was time to return, Zai Chun had finally returned to the center of his power, and the moment he disembarked the ship, it was as if five years had passed!

In these five years, all he came in contact with were new ideas, and under Xiao Letian's protection, he lived the lives of a normal rich kid.

He went to the New barracks to stand as a soldier, practice spearmanship in a shooting-range, learn to sail in the Pacific Ocean, and study military and diplomatic studies in the European continent. He seemed to have forgotten what he had been living in five years ago.

Even in Tanggu, all one could see were heavy machines that could spit out steam. There were dirty industrial pollutants everywhere.

It was only at this moment, when Zai Chun stepped onto the capital's grounds, that he finally understood that the Great Qing was still the same.

The commoners humbly kneeled in the dust. They were all wearing the best new clothes they could bear to wear during the new year, but most of them were just ordinary cotton-padded jackets.

The houses in the distance were short and shabby, with only a few shops that were built on the second floor. However, their grandeur was incomparable to the shops on the bustling streets of London.

All of the civilians and soldiers had the color of food on their faces. The first impression the group gave was that they were thin. Other than those who wore silk clothing, there was not a single fatso among the civilians and soldiers.

The most tragic thing was the fear and terror on everyone's face. Of course, Zai Chun couldn't see their expressions, because everyone had buried their faces in the dust, and no one dared to raise their head.

This was the capital city, the place with the strictest rule in the Qing Dynasty for the past 200 years. The citizens had seen too many bloody battles, and no one dared to challenge the might of the heavens.

Zai Chun took a deep breath of the cold air, and thought of Na Ba, London, Berlin, hamburger … Those free cities, where was the cheerful atmosphere?

Every time Xiao Letian's voice appeared in the public, you would only see people bowing respectfully without any sort of bow. Wherever the Head of the Guards went, it would be filled with laughter and cheers.

The children could give the flowers to Xiao Letian, the street artists could chase after the leader's guards and play music. The people would raise their heads to greet the leader, the smiles on their faces not showing any hypocrisy at all.

Looking at Europe, even if the Queen Victoria and the King of Germany were to travel, the people would only welcome them with applause. In fact, the army would cheer the most.

The victorious army would receive even more applause than the emperor, the kisses of the ladies would be sent to the young men, and the nobles of the king would never put on airs.

In the open carriage, they also had to take off their hats to wave to the public!

It was only in those places that Zai Chun could feel that this was a mortal world and not an ice-cold grave!

That's right, everything in front of him was as lifeless as a grave. Everyone was waiting for his orders, waiting for the next step.

The emperor got off the boat and everyone kowtowed. The emperor mounted the imperial carriage and set it on fire before setting off the firecrackers. The imperial carriage moved forward and then began to dance dragons and lions … Then, the group of people followed the direction the imperial carriage was moving in, bowing like wheat to it.

This was a rehearsal scene, from the inside, one could not even see the slightest bit of people's hearts, there was not even a hint of true meaning!

Letting out a long sigh, Zai Chun changed his expression into a slightly smiling one and walked towards the imperial carriage with his right foot!

"The Holy Son has returned to the capital!" The old eunuch gave a long tune, and then the sounds of whips came from the streets. The people continued to kneel and touch their foreheads to the ground.

After the sound of the whip, the imperial guards and various classes moved forward. There were 981 eunuchs kneeling on the ground as they welcomed His Majesty on the imperial carriage!

Right in front of the imperial carriage, the courtiers and officials led by Prince Kung had long kneeled on the ground. On the scarlet carpet, there were a large number of splendid officials.

Zai Chun walked a few steps quickly. At this time, Prince Kung, who was buried in the ground, heard the eunuch beside him cough loudly and reminded him.

"I am Prime Minister Minister Wang Yi. I shall lead those who are left in the capital to guard the civil and military officials to welcome Your Majesty!"

"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"

These officials had kowtowed three times and knocked nine times. They moved skillfully like flowing water. They looked neat and tidy!

"Rise!" Each of his beloved officials were at ease! "My royal uncle, please get up! My royal uncles, quickly get up!"

Zai Chun actually went forward and personally supported the devil with his arms. After separating it for five years, this uncle and nephew finally met again!

"Uncle …" You... "You have a lot of white hair …" Zai Chun's eyes reddened with emotion.

He looked at the tall Zai Chun as he rubbed the corner of his eyes, "His Majesty is taller! It really is a lot higher! "

"His body has become stronger!" They are really the spirit of our Manchu's ancestors! "It's been five years. Long live you, but you haven't been back for more than five years …"

Zai Chun grabbed Yi Xiao and Yi Xuan's hands, "These five years … "It's hard on you, Uncle. I'll have to trouble you …"

Yi Xuan was more honest, once he heard her nephew speak such kind words, he immediately cried, "Your Majesty, you are the one who has worked hard! How did Xiao Letian take care of him over the past five years, has darkened His Majesty quite a bit … "

"Hey …" Let's not talk about this anymore. Adults are uncomfortable, but they are not! If you want to learn, you'll have to travel in the wind and in the rain! "

"Uncles, let's not talk about family matters first. We can talk about this slowly when we return to the Forbidden City. At that time, I'll hold a family banquet!"

"Take a look at the officials. My dear officials, please rise!"

"Thank you!" The Chinese Officer s behind also stood up.

"Where's the Great Marshal Zeng? Why didn't I see Great Marshal Zeng? " Zai Chun was the first to look for Ceng Guofan.

Yi Yu said in a low voice, "The marshal's physique isn't too good, he can't really work. We persuaded him for a long time to wait for His Majesty at the Deisenmun."

"Long live the imperial carriage! The citizens of the capital are still waiting for a glimpse of her! "

The capital's imperial carriage were all made from top-grade purple sandalwood and had many different specifications. Today, they had brought out the largest one that had been carried by ninety-nine people and eighty-one people.

The imperial carriage was actually a huge throne. The emperor could comfortably sit inside with a bright yellow soft cushion on his left and right sides.

Many times, the emperor would ride on these small imperial carriage in the Forbidden City. When the weather was clear, he would dismantle the shed and sit inside.

This kind of imperial carriage not only allowed the emperor to view the scenery from a blind spot, it also allowed the surrounding commoners to see the might of the Holy Son!

Therefore, even though the wind was strong today, the imperial carriage did not use a windproof shed, but rather allowed Zai Chun to enjoy the cold open air!

But on the imperial carriage, Zai Chun felt something different, it turned out that there was a hand furnace hidden beneath the throne, the heat was continuously rising, it was extremely comfortable.

"The emperor is starting a fight!"

Eighty-one tall eunuchs raised their imperial carriage s and placed them on their shoulders, followed by the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums, which were like torrential rain.

The team that was dancing the dragon and lion began to clamor!
