Chapter 1689 When She Came Back, Everyone Was Paying Attention
Yun Dai knows that in every dynasty and in every place, there are inevitably corrupt officials, as well as honest officials who are dedicated to serving the people.
There are always people who are greedy and others who are desperate for their own safety.
It’s impossible to catch them all.
But she wanted to give all Zhou officials a warning not to be too unscrupulous.
Otherwise, she wouldn't care about factions, relationships, or patrons.
They pulled them all out, stripped them naked and threw them into the street, so that he could come and go without any worries.
Greed is okay.
In such a big country, someone has to do something.
But at the critical moment, when thousands of lives are involved, it is not a pity to die.
Yun Dai just took Niu Hengtong and the other six people and traveled across mountains and rivers, thousands of miles away from Saibei, back to Kyoto.
Her move almost caused a stir for half a week along the way.
The people's support and admiration for the Empress of Zhou Dynasty has reached an unprecedented high level.
She was wrapped in a black cloak and her sweet smile sitting on the carriage was deeply imprinted in the hearts of countless people.
When the carriage arrived in Kyoto, it was already the end of the twelfth lunar month.
It will be Chinese New Year in a few days.
It's snowing in Kyoto.
Different from the heavy snow in the northern part of the country, the first snow in Kyoto is very soft, like the gentle Xiaojiabiyu, spreading on the road with the wind.
The people of Kyoto learned early that the Empress had returned with the Northern Qi Emperor, and she also caught several corrupt officials.
The carriage passed through the city gate, and the Jin Yiwei cleared the way by the roadside. On both sides were the people from Kyoto who came to welcome her.
When she left, no one knew.
When she came back, everyone was watching.
Everyone knew that their empress was the princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty. She single-handedly helped the new emperor ascend the throne and became the regent. She also smoothly surrendered the Northern Qi Dynasty to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
On the way back, I caught a few more corrupt officials.
Is this something ordinary people can do?
The war between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty lasted for hundreds of years, and several generations of emperors failed to resolve it. The queen took action and solved it immediately.
At this moment, everyone's admiration for the Queen has reached its peak.
They all knelt down and shouted: "The Queen is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
Yun Dai could not hide in the carriage and ignore the enthusiasm of the people.
She opened the curtain of the carriage, stuck her head out, waved to the people, and smiled.
When the people saw her, they became even more excited. The shouts became louder and louder, and the crowd was excited.
Xiao Ziliang was in the carriage in front and opened the curtain to look out, but no one paid any attention to him.
In fact, everyone also knows his identity, he must be the emperor who only ascended the throne in Northern Qi Dynasty. However, since he came to seek peace and submission, he would only be a prince of Zhou Dynasty from now on.
He can't even defend his own country. What's there to see from such a useless emperor?
The enthusiasm of the people was all focused on the Queen in the carriage behind.
Xiao Ziliang lowered the curtain and said, "It is really embarrassing to be the emperor of a defeated country."
Jiaojiao knelt down next to him and was beating his legs. After hearing this, she whispered: "Your Majesty, you don't have to care about this. Whether the people like it or not will not have any impact on us."
"Do I still know this?" Xiao Ziliang glanced at her and felt displeased. He kicked her away and said, "You still have the nerve to talk to me. Speaking of which, I had time to settle accounts with you along the way. "
Jiaojiao fell down on the mat, then quickly got up and knelt down, "I know I was wrong."
