June 18 is destined to be recorded in the history of the Ming Dynasty, this day Zhu Cihong canceled the morning meeting, this day since dawn, the palace up and down began to be busy.

A month ago, Zhu Cihong finally got the exact news that the Ming Expeditionary Army, led by Liu Hongchuan, the king of Anguo County, had captured the city of Moscow and the Kremlin.

That is to say, from that day on, the territory of the Ming Dynasty has expanded by one and a half times, and no one knows better than Zhu Cihong how many territories the Ming Dynasty had before.

I still remember that night Zhu Cihong had insomnia, and the next day Zhu Cihong held the panda eyes and was still in high spirits in the Imperial Palace, he was like a parrot who had just learned to speak in the court hall and happily told the ministers about the vastness of the Rakshasa country, as well as the idea of the Ming Dynasty after getting such a large piece of land.

The ministers were naturally also happy, for this expeditionary force department and household department united to do their best to transport supplies, the western expedition, which took more than a year, finally came to an end, and they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Because Zhu Cihong would send people every three days to supervise the military department and the household department, and even threatened them to deliver supplies to the front line on time, and any important news must be reported to him as soon as possible, even in the middle of the night.

For this reason, dozens of officials of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs have been punished or even deposed.

Zhu Cihong danced in the court for most of the day, and finally slowly realized a problem, how to govern such a huge territory suddenly?

There were no people there, and I heard that only a few million people were killed and expelled by his Liu Qing, and there was not a single person in the wilderness for hundreds of miles.

Zhu Cihong had never thought about how to govern a large and unpopulated territory, which was simply too embarrassing.

Moreover, most areas of the Rakshasa Kingdom are frighteningly cold in winter, and although the summer is also warm but extremely short-lived, Zhu Cihong spent a long time at the court meeting without asking why.

Even the courtiers are not as good as him, Zhu Cihong has at least been to Rakshasa and knows what it looks like over there, and there are not many of these vassals who have passed the customs.

After going down to the court, Zhu Cihong convened the cabinet again, but it was discussed until the afternoon and still did not set a tone, and finally the second assistant Han Yu said, "Or, wait for the king of Anguo to come and then discuss", which can be regarded as the end of the meeting in Xinjiang.

So Zhu Cihong, who has passed adolescence since that day, spends his days like a year, looking forward to the stars and the moon and looking forward to the triumph of the expeditionary force.

A few days later, the news spread all over Shuntianfu, and half a month later, fortunately due to the spread of the Ming Propaganda Department's internal investigation factory, the deeds of Wang Dongzheng of Anguo County for the Ming Dynasty to expand the territory for a year spread throughout the north, and quickly spread to the south of the Yangtze River.

The anxious June was frighteningly slow and frighteningly hot, and finally yesterday Zhu Cihong got accurate news that the expeditionary force would arrive in the capital tomorrow afternoon.

On this day, everyone from Jinyiwei to the Five Cities Terracotta Division, from the cabinet to ordinary people, was busy.

The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division (equivalent to the Public Security Bureau of later generations) even sent a lot of gifts to the people of the capital, because Zhu Cihong specially ordered that all the people could go out of the city to meet the expeditionary force with hundreds of officials for three days.

At three o'clock, the brocade guard began to make the final arrangement outside the Anding Gate, everywhere was arranged red, red, green and green, from the Anding Gate to the outside of the city thirty miles, all with red silk paving, colored silk as a column.

The road is about six zhang wide, and the starting position is greeted by the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War, and then a high platform is built outside the Anding Gate, and the high platform is naturally reserved for Zhu Cihong and the cabinet members, and the high platform is greeted by hundreds of officials.

The master of ceremonies and the master of ceremonies wrote a huge sea of instructions to people to move things, this grand event has never been seen in the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, and he knew very well that if the matter was messed up, Zhu Cihong would definitely be furious.

Under the huge sea of almost 10,000 people in the palace, he also maintained a good relationship with the ministers outside the palace, but inside and outside the palace, he didn't dare to touch the tiger whiskers of the king of Anguo, at least not now.

Just after the hour, the people of the capital have already put the three layers outside the Anding Gate, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities are trying to maintain the order of the scene.

Before noon, more people joined the wave of greetings, and the first assistant of the cabinet was worried that something would happen, so before Zhu Cihong came to the future, he urgently dispatched 5,000 Praetorian Guards from the Beida Camp to be on guard.

The order of the people since the Praetorian Guard has really improved a lot, and all the Praetorian Guards at this time have been on the battlefield, and everyone's purpose is the same as to meet the king of Anguo County, who has made immortal contributions to the Ming Dynasty.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhu Cihong wore regular clothes and climbed the high platform surrounded by the protection of the Tiger Camp and the honor guard of the brocade guard, he held a telescope in his hand, and waved his hand and smiled at the people from time to time in the tide of the people on both sides of the road, while raising the telescope from time to time to look in the direction of thirty miles away.

"It's coming, it's coming! Emperor, the king of Anguo is less than a mile away from us! The huge sea held up the fat body and ascended the high platform to report the good news to Zhu Cihong.

"Yes, I see it." Zhu Cihong also smiled.

To tell the truth, Liu Hong was gradually taken aback by the unprecedented greeting scene, there were so many people gathered on both sides of the road, and under the cheers, he couldn't listen to what the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette said to him.

After all, as the commander, he still has to nod to the people on both sides of the road from time to time, and sometimes a wave of his hand can attract the people to cheer and thunder.

"Lao Gu, do you think we want to be a superstar now?" Liu Hong gradually turned back to Gu Jiadao.

Gu Jia's health has not been very good in this short period of time, and after the big change in the westward journey last year, Gu Jia fell ill due to the long period of freezing, and three months ago he had a severe wind chill.

If it weren't for Liu Hongji's special medicine, Gu Jia would probably not be able to come back.

"Hehe, adults are superstars now, always have been." Gu Jia said with relief.

Gu Jia has heard the word superstar twice from Liu Hongji's mouth, and naturally knows what it means, from the squire of the military department to the dean of the martial arts hall, Gu Jia has watched Daming from weak to Zhongxing almost all the time, and the operator of all this is Liu Hongji, so Liu Hongjian naturally deserves this honor, although his words will make others think that he is patting on the back.

"It's just an adult...... Beware of high merit......" Gu Jia's face was full of exhaustion, frowned, and said half a sentence without continuing.

"Huh." Liu Hongjian didn't hear it, smiled, and continued to have fun with the people.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Liu Hongjian finally saw the high platform under Andingmen, and he even saw his father on the high platform.

Dad is really old, he still has crutches in his hands, he is almost seventy years old, and the horsemen on his gray hair and face are also wrinkled, but Liu Delong still wears reading glasses and raises his hand to block the sun and looks at the people in the team, as if he is looking for his son.

The expeditionary force dismounted at a distance of 300 paces from the high platform and marched on foot.

"Holy Decree! The king of Anguo received the order! ”
