Finally, the ceremony arrived a hundred meters in front of the southern city gate of Xiangyang.

The golden-topped carriage that Zhao An was riding exuded an orange-yellow luster under the setting sun.

He is now the prince of the Song Dynasty.

Yue Peng led a group of generals to meet him quickly and bowed to the ceremony, "I would like to welcome the crown prince!"

Among the generals were familiar faces of Zhao Dongting, such as Zhao Hu, Xiao Yulin, Fang Zhenshan, Yao Xingchao, Luo Wusheng, Shang Ge, etc., but most of them were newly promoted generals.

Over the past ten years, the army has replaced the old ones in the court, just like in the court.

Zhao Hu and Xiao Yulin have also been promoted to deputy marshals of Xianglong Military Region.

Zhao Da, who was riding a horse in front of the ceremony, his eyes naturally fell on his brother's face and blinked.

Zhao Hu also blinked.

One of them is in charge of the Feilong Army in the capital, and is also in charge of the affairs of the Hall Front Company, responsible for the public security of most of Changsha and the imperial palace.

A person who serves as the deputy marshal in Xianglong Military Region is also busy with official duties.

Even during festivals, it is difficult for brothers to reunite.

"Uncle Yue."

Zhao An poked his head out of the carriage, smiled, and first shouted at Yue Peng.

Yue Peng's eyes showed a touch of emotion and he bowed again: "Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhao An walked out of the carriage, went to the generals, and said, "Uncle Yue, don't be like this with me."

Although I came to inspect the three armies in accordance with the order of my father, I have not yet arrived in the army.

Since you are not in the army, please don’t be dependent on these common etiquettes, okay?

You do this, I think you are deliberately putting on an official attitude and want me to leave as soon as possible after the inspection!"

"Ha ha!"

Yue Peng laughed, "I wish you stayed for a while!"

He used to be with Zhao Dongting for many years, and was not so confined to common etiquette.

I just did this because I haven’t seen Zhao An for many years, and I don’t know what kind of character Zhao An has.

Now, I feel extremely relieved.

From Zhao An's words, we can see that Zhao An's temperament is somewhat aligned with Zhao Dongting.

If he showed the prince's majesty as soon as he came, it would inevitably make Yue Peng feel a little disappointed.

After all, when this kid was still young, Yue Peng had hugged him a lot.

As he said that, Yue Peng whispered to Zhao An again: "Has the prince drunk wine in the palace?"

Zhao An's eyes rolled and said, "I've drunk it a few times, what's wrong?"

Yue Peng said: "No, I'm just afraid that you will get drunk here."

Zhao An pretended to complain, "Uncle Yue, you can't drink your father, so you want to bully me?"

Then he greeted Zhao Hu and others.

I was very familiar with me when I was a child, so I called Uncle.

If you are not familiar with it, you will call for a position.

Although there was not much prince's dignity, it greatly comforted the veterans who had lived and died and Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Da also greeted these old brothers.

They were all military generals, and they came out of the sword mountain, so naturally they didn’t have so much restraint and they were all released soon.

With Yue Peng's order, everyone guarded Zhao An into the city.

The guard of honor followed behind.

The transfer envoy of Jingxi Road, the pacifier and other civil officials in Xiangyang City welcomed the emperor in the city.

Zhao An's trip was to inspect the three armies, and they were just foils.

To put it bluntly, just show your face and make a familiar look in front of Zhao An.

Although he also wanted to get close to Zhao An, he was worried that Yue Peng and others would be unhappy.

Even if you want to receive Zhao An, you have to wait until Zhao An inspects the soldiers of Xianglong Military Region.

"I'm going to see the crown prince!"

It's Shanhu again.

All the civil officials knelt on the ground, and the generals were much more particular about it.

When Zhao An faced them, his expression was much calmer and said, "Everyone is free!"

People have different closeness and distant personalities, even if they were born in the royal family.

Immediately afterwards, I looked at the Southwest Road Transport Authority and said, "This trip to the palace is only to inspect the three armies, so you do not need to delay official duties for this palace.

Huang Zhuanluo, you will arrange a banquet at the government office at noon tomorrow, and I will meet the officials of Xiangyang Prefecture."

"yes!"

Huang Zhuanyun Envoy quickly agreed, and then said tactfully: "Na Chen and others will surrender first."

Zhao An was already satisfied that he could ask him to hold a banquet in the government office.

If you really have to follow the rules, Zhao An would never refuse to meet them.

After Zhao An agreed, the civil officials in Xiangyang Prefecture retreated.

Yue Peng asked Zhao An with great interest: "Your Highness the Crown Prince doesn't plan to have dinner in the government office?"

Zhao An smiled and said, "Uncle Yue, you didn't arrange a welcome banquet for me, right?

I'm going to bother you tonight."

"Ha ha!"

Yue Peng laughed again, "I've made arrangements."

Then he said, "Let's go, you all go to the mansion with me to welcome His Highness the Crown Prince."

The crowd turned towards Yue Peng's mansion in Xiangyang Mansion.

Those veterans surrounded Zhao An, very excited, saying everything.

I went straightforwardly, mostly asking about Zhao Dongting’s current situation.

They are connected with Zhao Dongting. Not to mention now, even in a few decades, they will never forget the days when they were born and died with Zhao Dongting.

Although Zhao Dongting has been quite tolerant of the old generals in recent years, there are not many generals who have been dealt with for their domineering or other reasons.

The rest of them cherish this honor even more.
