Jinghong Tower

Upon learning of King Zhao's arrival, Jinyang's celebrities and gentry came out of the city to greet him.

Although they were disdainful of King Zhao who they had never met in their hearts, they could not show it on their faces. On the contrary, they wanted to be more respectful to King Zhao and doubly surprised by King Zhao's arrival.

King Zhao did not get out of the car. Chunwang raised the curtains of the carriage. King Zhao waved to everyone calmly. The curtains were lowered again. The carriage slowly drove into the city. Everyone quickly followed behind and walked into the city. Knowing that the person in the carriage was King Zhao, they were very curious and followed the carriage one after another.

"Prince Zhao is young and mature, elegant and generous, quite like the Taizu."

"Yes, I heard that King Zhao grew up among the people. It seems that King Zhao's noble demeanor is engraved in his bones and was brought from his mother's womb."

"Needless to say, do you think that just anyone can be the son of a dragon or a phoenix?"

Hearing that King Xiao Zhao had entered the city, He Ran led everyone out of the office and stood outside the gate to greet him.

"Your Majesty, the administrative office is in front of you. There are many people in front of the door. The master is here to greet you personally." Chunwang said.

Zhou Jian immediately cheered up and put down the book in his hand: "Instruct them to stop the carriage here."

Chunwang didn't understand why the carriage was parked so far away, but he didn't say anything and immediately ordered it to stop.

The carriage stopped and the footstool was put down. Zhou Jian got out of the carriage before Chunwang reached out to help him.

A pure smile that only belonged to a child appeared on his face. He ran towards He Ran. Before He Ran could clasp his fists and salute, Zhou Jian happily held He Ran's hand: "Sister, I finally see you." , Sister, how are you? Sister, I miss you so much."

The little boy's face was full of admiration, and the people who followed him from the city gate whispered: "His Royal Highness King Zhao relies on the master."

"Shh, no matter what your status is, are you worthy of calling her the boss?"

"Huh? I heard someone call it that."

"You should have a longer memory. Not everyone can be called the Great Master. Only close associates like General He Xiulong and General He Dali can. Let's call her General."

"In any case, the general supports His Highness Prince Zhao. His Highness Prince Zhao is affectionate and righteous, and he respects the general greatly."

Today is Zhou Jian's first appearance in Jinyang. He clearly told everyone that he and He Ran are not monarchs and ministers, but siblings and relatives.

That night, many people in Jinyang City had no sleep.

They couldn't tell whether this was good or bad. It was a good thing that King Zhao was close to He Ran, so that He Ran would spare no effort to support King Zhao, just like Taizu and He Jinghong back then.

But King Zhao kept his attitude very low in front of He Ran. It didn't matter that he was young now, but he would grow up eventually. By then, He Ran was used to letting him keep a low profile and be a small child. Facing the grown-up What will happen to him as an adult?
There are too many such examples, let alone the distant ones, let’s just say that the current emperor has been suppressed by the Empress Dowager and powerful ministers before, and now he is manipulated by King Qi. This emperor must be aggrieved.

The emperor's today is the king's tomorrow.

Some people are wiping away tears silently. It doesn't matter if their ancestors are strong, but their descendants are still useless.

The moment Zhou Jian ran towards him in full view of everyone, He Ran could guess the reaction of these people.

Zhou Jian did this on purpose. In the past, he was just a submissive child in front of He Ran.

He Ran raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

The environment has a great impact on a child. She remembers that when she was Zhou Jian's age, she was like a tomboy every day, either running or practicing boxing. There were so many twists and turns. As usual, He Ran tested Zhou Jian's homework.

Whether it is studying or talking, Zhou Jian has made great progress, which is inseparable from the guidance of Bai Yan, a good teacher.

He Ran gave Zhou Jian a small house with a mechanism. There was a family of three in front of the house. As long as he pushed the child, the second floor window of the house would open, and a little maid would poke her head out of the window. Then push the child. With one person, the door of the house will open to reveal a puppy holding a flower basket in its mouth.

He Ran had searched the Jikuo House from Prince Jin's Mansion that day. There were too many things taken from Prince Jin's Mansion at that time. Except for those in the private treasury, most of the other things had been sold for money or rice. , the remaining part is placed in the warehouse of Jinghong Building, and this machine house is one of them.

There are more than a dozen mechanical toys like this, and this is one of them.

Although there was no name engraved on the house, He Ran recognized it at a glance. It was the work of the famous mechanism master she knew in her previous life. He was able to build mechanisms for Prince Jin's Palace. It was normal for Prince Jin's Palace to have several of his works.

Zhou Jian grew up in Liuxiang, Huajie Street. He had no friends and no real toys. Later he became King Zhao. In addition to going to class every day, he did homework. This was the first time in his life that he had seen such a mechanical toy.

As if he had found a treasure, he gratefully took the Jikuo house back to play with.

He Ran left Bai Yan alone and asked about Zhou Jian's daily life. Bai Yan told the truth and also told He Ran that Zhou Jian was working very hard and making rapid progress.

He could barely read when he first came here, but now he can read some simple books.

Especially his handwriting has improved a lot. Boyan asked him to write a hundred big characters every day, which he did.

He Ran gave Bai Yan an ancient book that he had plundered from the Prince of Jin's palace. Taogu checked it with an expert and found out that this ancient book was an only one and very precious.

Sure enough, Bai Yan's eyes lit up.

He Ran was also very happy. Bai Yan really liked books.

There are still many books like this in the warehouse of Jinghong Building. They are not for sale for the time being, but should be kept for giving away.

King Zhao Zhou Jian's arrival in Jinyang City means that from now on, Jinyang will become a temporary capital.

Just when the gentry and the common people thought that King Zhao would move into Prince Jin's Mansion on a certain auspicious day, and that Prince Jin's Mansion would become Prince Zhao's Mansion, news came out that King Zhao would stay at the back office of the administrative office.

Prince Jin's Mansion or Prince Zhao's Mansion, did Prince Zhao not live in it?

Why is this happening?
Not only could the people not understand it, but even Zhou Jian himself found it strange.

My sister retains the Jin Palace. Is this to preserve the dignity of the royal family?

But he is also a king.

Does my sister not care about him, or is she dissatisfied with him, and wants to replace him with another king at any time?

In fact, if Zhou Jian were a few years older, he would no longer have such thoughts.

But he is still a child after all, and Bai Yan will not teach him on this issue.

The news that King Zhao had entered Jinyang was spread by He Ran and soon reached the ears of King Jin. More than ten days later, it reached Jinling.
