The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 570: Incognito Visit [Subscription*Monthly Ticket Request]

"Da da da~"

The sound of galloping horses came from afar.

By the canal, the construction workers, covered in mud, looked up in surprise.

According to Bingzhou law, riding a horse at a high speed in a crowded place is prohibited unless it is a military operation.

Therefore, looking at a group of cavalrymen in blood-red armor galloping towards them, everyone was a little confused.

"It's the Yulin Guards, His Majesty's personal guards!" Someone with sharp eyes recognized the unique red feather-wing emblem of the Yulin Guards on the cavalry armor.

The wings of the country are as prosperous as the forest.

This is the meaning of Yulin Guard.

After the battle three years ago, there was no one in Bingzhou who did not yearn to become a member of the Yulin Guard.

When marrying a wife, one should marry a woman from Bingzhou, and when joining the army, one should serve in the Yulin Army.

This is a nursery rhyme popular in Bingzhou.

"I wonder which lord the Imperial Guards are here to pick up!"

The Yulin Guards would not be dispatched easily, so the supervisors along the canal were surprised, but not worried.

If they come to cause trouble or interrogate a certain lord, it will not be the Yulin Guards who come, but the law enforcement soldiers under the command of Lord Han, the Bingzhou Chief Justice and Inspector.

Therefore, the arrival of the Imperial Guards represents a merit and an honor, and it means that you have entered the eyes of His Majesty.

If you are an ordinary person, you would like to become a member of the Yulin Guard.

As an official, he longed to be escorted by the Yulin Guard one day.

"Is it me?" As the highest supervisor of this section of the canal, Li Yang was a little excited.

Others also looked at Li Yang with envy. If anyone among them could get the personal escort of the Imperial Guards and gain the favor of His Majesty, then only Li Yang could have this possibility.

However, the Yulin Guards bypassed all the officials present, dismounted from their horses in unison, and knelt on one knee in front of a simple work shed.

In front of the work shed was a man with a strong face, bare upper body, and a moustache. He was drinking porridge and eating hard steamed buns from a rough ceramic bowl. Next to the man was a child of five or six years old who was also covered in mud.

"Jin Mo, the second lieutenant general of the Central Camp of the Imperial Guard, is here to see Your Majesty!" The leading cavalry captain knelt on one knee, holding the sword in both hands and reported loudly.

The man drank the porridge in the bowl slowly, wiped the inside of the bowl with the steamed bun, picked up the steamed bun crumbs on his pants slowly and put them into his mouth and ate them cleanly.

"What? Your Majesty?"

The crowd watching the excitement were all dumbfounded. They never expected that His Majesty was right next to them.

If the man in front of him is the current emperor, then the child beside him must be the eldest son of the Southern Qin, Prince Fusu?
Jin Mo ignored the noise around him and knelt quietly on the ground waiting for the man in front of him to call him.

"Why are you here suddenly?" The man finally spoke after finishing everything.

He no longer had the casualness and kindness he had in the shanty town before, but was instead filled with an intimidating majesty without even getting angry.

"Qin and Zhao have gone to war, and Prime Minister Anqi has ordered us to come and welcome His Majesty back to the palace to take charge of the situation!" Jin Mo replied hurriedly, and at the same time ordered someone to deliver two sets of crown robes, one large and one small.

Yan Yan stood up and glanced at Fusu beside him.

Fusu grumbled that his good days were gone forever.

She had to go back to the palace and perform those complicated etiquettes whenever she met someone.

I can no longer go into the water naked with my friends to catch fish and shrimps, and I can no longer play house in the mud together.

"Wait!" Yan Yan took the crown and pulled Fusu into the shanty.

The Yulin Guards took advantage of the situation and surrounded the entire shanty, not allowing anyone to approach.

After a while, Yan Yan, wearing the emperor's crown, came out with the neatly dressed little Fusu. "It's really your majesty!"

The migrant workers around were all shocked when they saw two people, one big and one small, walking out of the low shack. They were then filled with endless joy and worry.

They actually worked with His Majesty for three months!
Moreover, during these three months, they also ate and lived with His Majesty, joked about various state affairs, and talked about various national affairs.

"Your Majesty is actually here with us!" Li Yang was a little panicked. At this moment, he clearly recalled all the bad and ugly things he had done in his life.

Then he looked worriedly at the man who was standing in front of the Yulin Guards, making these elite Yulin Guards serve as a foil.

"Let's go!" Yan Yan smiled as he watched Fusu skillfully flip over and jump onto the Ferghana horse sent by Dayuan that was led by the Yulin Guards.

Fusu had been in Bingzhou for three years, and although he had not learned much else, he had mastered riding very well.

Although he is not very old, he looks pretty good.

After all, he was taught personally by the best equestrian masters in the entire grassland.

"Farewell, Your Majesty!" Seeing the Imperial Guards escorting Yan Yan and little Fusu away, the migrant workers from the entire river section came out to greet them and stood on both sides of the road to see them off.

Li Yang also stood among the crowd, his eyes full of worry.

The crowds of people blocked the way, making it impossible for the Yulin Guards to move quickly, so they had to slow down the pace of their horses.

"You...are good!" Yan Yan smiled at Li Yang, who was also covered in mud and standing in the crowd, then turned to look at the people around him.

"Tianshui section is worthy of being the best in the entire Hetao region, and even the best in the entire Bingzhou!"

Hearing Yan Yan's praise, Li Yang's nervous heart finally calmed down and a smile appeared on his face.

"But, I hope that Tianshui will not only be a county in the future, but also become the first county in Bingzhou after the Beiye Royal Court!"

After praise comes encouragement.

The migrant workers and officials along the entire Tianshui River section were ecstatic.

They all knew in advance that once the canal was completed, Bingzhou would establish a county here, directly under the jurisdiction of the royal court.

But now, the king said that theirs is the number one construction site among all the water conservancy projects in Bingzhou!
In the future it will be the first county in Bingzhou, and may even be established as a county!
This represents His Majesty's recognition of their efforts.

How can we make them unhappy?

Just relying on the golden signboard of being the first in Bingzhou, no one will dare to stop them from obtaining various resources and materials in the future.

The resources of the entire Bingzhou will also be tilted towards them.

These are the invisible wealth brought by the title of first.

"I will do my best to live up to your Majesty's expectations!" Li Yang promised solemnly.

"We will do our best to live up to Your Majesty's expectations!" The people around also followed Li Yang's actions and knelt down to salute.

"Let's go!" Yan Yan smiled and nodded, signaling the Yulin Guards to clear the way.

No one stood in front of the Imperial Guards anymore. They made way for a wide path and watched their king ride away on his horse.

"Fortunately, we have not treated the people harshly during this period!"

Seeing Yan Yan walking away under the escort of the Imperial Guards, Li Yang and other local supervisors felt a little scared.

They knew that His Majesty liked to travel around, make incognito visits, and go to various places pretending to be anyone to understand the people's sentiments, but they never expected that this big prize would fall on them.

You should know that the last one inspected by His Majesty was the Juyan Cotton Bedding Workshop in Juyanze.

Then several officials with a rank higher than 600 stones and bronze seals and black ribbons were ordered to be beheaded in public. Their heads were taken by the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate to various counties in Bingzhou for display.

All officials were clearly informed that this is the fate of corrupt officials who mistreat the people!
