Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 455 Riding the Dragon Chariot Together
Feng Quji smiled and said: "At my age, I might fall asleep and never wake up one day. How can I miss such a grand event?"

Ye Qingcang said with emotion: "The old prime minister is right. It is a pity to miss such a grand event. Who would have thought that I would destroy the Japanese pirate country one day!"

Feng Quji said with some regret: "It's a pity that my health is getting worse and worse. If I can live for several decades, Daqian will be in another unimaginable situation."

Ye Qingcang nodded in agreement: "It is indeed unimaginable that His Highness the Ninth Prince is truly a heavenly being!"

……

The two of them chatted without any cover-up. Li Chengye was not far away from them and could hear clearly clearly. His face was expressionless but he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Although he is the legitimate prince, he is now completely marginalized.

No matter whether it is civil or military officials or the common people in the world, they only have Li Changfeng in their hearts, and all they talk about is His Highness the Ninth Prince.

Even the ministers who originally supported him have now left him and kept a distance from him.

He has looked away and has no longer had any extravagant hopes for the throne.

Now he just wants to be a rich prince and enjoy life, but he can't achieve it.

Ever since he realized that someone was secretly investigating his connection with the burning of the Azure Tree outside Baishi City, he had not had a good night's sleep for fear that the incident would be exposed.

With Li Changfeng's return, he became even more worried.

……

On the other side, Li Changfeng, who was rushing to the capital, had a bitter look on his face.

Chunni was beside him, wondering: "Aren't you looking forward to returning to Beijing? Now that it's almost here, why are you looking so sad?"

Li Changfeng smiled bitterly and said: "My father led all the civil and military officials out of the city to greet him. I hate this kind of red tape the most."

Emperor Qianwu had already sent a decree to hold a grand welcome ceremony, and warned him not to sneak in through other city gates.

If it was like before, Li Changfeng wouldn't just greet him.

But this time it was different. The movement Emperor Qian Wu wanted to make was really too big.

After the welcoming ceremony is completed, you still have to go to the Ancestral Temple and Taisha Shrine to offer sacrifices to the ancestors of heaven and earth. The etiquette is extremely complicated and can't be completed in just a few hours.

Li Changfeng hated this kind of cumbersome etiquette, but he couldn't refuse it.

To refuse is to disrespect the ancestors and disrespect heaven and earth.

Chunni nodded in agreement: "Mortal etiquette is indeed troublesome."

Then he glanced at the distance and saw the Daqian Long Banner in sight. Chunni smiled and said, "When we arrive, I won't accompany you and will go back home first."

After saying that, he stood up and swept away into the distance.

Li Changfeng sighed and continued moving forward.

Soon, the dense crowd in the distance came into view, and Emperor Qianwu's canopy of honor was clearly visible.

Li Changfeng rubbed his face, adjusted his mood and smiled.

There were so many people traveling fifty miles out of the city to greet them, and it was hard to justify their faces.

At this time, the crowd on the opposite side was already in commotion.

"His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince is back! His Highness the Ninth Prince is back!"

Everyone was looking forward to it, and Emperor Qianwu also stood up, with a proud smile on his face and said: "My hero of Daqian is back! My dear friends and I go to greet him!"

"It's Your Majesty!"

The princes and civil and military officials responded, lined up and followed, followed by the surrounding people.

Li Changfeng got off the car early and walked over quickly with a smile on his face.

"My son-in-law pays respects to his father!"

Emperor Qianwu quickly stepped forward to help Li Changfeng up and laughed loudly: "Get up!" "Thank you, Father."

Li Changfeng stood up, and behind Emperor Qianwu all the civil and military officials knelt down to pay homage.

"Meet His Royal Highness Ninth Prince!"

Then came the people from the capital who came to watch.

"Meet His Royal Highness Ninth Prince!"

For a moment, people all around knelt down, and almost everyone looked at Li Changfeng with excitement, and some even had a look of fanaticism in their eyes.

What Li Changfeng has done for Daqian over the years has been recognized by everyone.

He has never won over any minister, but now almost all ministers are loyal to him and believe that he is the future successor of Daqian.

"Get up, get up!"

Li Changfeng raised his hand to signal everyone to get up.

"Come with me on the dragon chariot to the Ancestral Temple!"

Emperor Qianwu grabbed Li Changfeng's arm and walked towards the dragon chariot. The princes and ministers around him couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Not everyone can sit on the dragon chariot. From ancient times to the present, only emperors can sit on it.

Except for the emperor, no one in history has ever sat on a dragon chariot, and no one dared to do so.

The significance of riding a dragon chariot was extraordinary. As a prince, Li Changfeng rode in a dragon chariot and it was against etiquette. However, no one at the scene stood up to object, and all the princes also kept silent.

Given Emperor Qianwu's love for Li Changfeng and Li Changfeng's great achievements, anyone who dares to stand up and oppose him at this time is seeking death.

Li Changfeng did not expect that Emperor Qianwu would suddenly come like this. He quickly shook his head and said: "Father, this is impossible. How can I sit in a dragon chariot? I can just ride a horse!"

Emperor Qianwu glared: "Why can't you do it? Who dares to object? Even if the ancestors and clans come, they will not object to you riding the dragon chariot with me! Let me go!"

Li Changfeng had no choice but to follow Emperor Qianwu on the dragon chariot.

He understood that Emperor Qianwu was not only trying to commend his achievements, but also wanted to push him to the throne.

But he really doesn't want to be an emperor, dealing with all kinds of tedious things all day long, wouldn't it be nice for him to travel around, eat, drink and have fun?

He is not worried about what others will do to him when they become emperor in the future. With his extraordinary strength, no secular force can do anything to him.

"Father, please don't go through such trouble in the future, okay?" Li Changfeng couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

"How can that be done?" Emperor Qianwu glanced at him and said, "This is not only a recognition of your merits, but also for others to see. If you don't give enough honor to those who have made contributions, who will fight for the country?"

"Okay, can we not go to the Ancestral Temple and Taishe?"

"What do you think?"

……

Soon, Emperor Qianwu and Li Changfeng entered the city.

Both sides of the street were already crowded with people. Everyone looked at Li Changfeng with genuine awe in their eyes. Everywhere they passed, there were sounds of worship like mountains and tsunamis.

When the people in the capital saw Li Changfeng riding the dragon chariot, they didn't think there was anything wrong. Instead, they felt that it should be so.

Emperor Qianwu observed the expressions of the people and was extremely happy to see Li Changfeng winning the hearts of the people. He had a proud smile on his face the whole time.

Li Changfeng also kept smiling throughout the whole process, feeling that the muscles on his face were stiff.

Then he went to the Ancestral Temple and Taisha Shrine to offer sacrifices to the ancestors of heaven and earth. Li Changfeng was about to collapse after the whole tedious process, but Emperor Qianwu was in high spirits and performed all the etiquette meticulously.

After three hours of tossing, all the procedures were completed. Emperor Qianwu asked Li Changfeng to go back to his residence to rest, and told him to enter the palace early the next morning.

After returning home, Li Changfeng fell asleep and put on a human skin mask in the dead of night and left the mansion.
