After entering the city gate.
In front of them was a flat and unusually wide street, Shenwu Street.
It was the main street of the imperial city, passing by the Shenyang Sect and reaching the palace.
On the street, hundreds of officials stood solemnly, but most of them were civil officials.
The people in the front row had extraordinary auras. Each of them had the aura of a whale swallowing mountains. They were the group of people with the highest official rank.
They were the Left Censor, the Right Censor, the Middle Censor, the Six Ministers, and so on. Their official ranks were all third-grade and above. They were the most elite force in Daqin to deal with internal affairs.
The people behind them had lower official ranks, from fourth-grade to seventh-grade.
As for eighth-grade and ninth-grade officials, they were not qualified to stand on Shenwu Street to welcome Qin Hao.
Those low-level officials were all squeezed to the sides of the street, together with some ministers and rich businessmen. At this moment, all of them were kneeling on the ground with their heads on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
Whoosh.
Under the lead of the Middle Censor, the hundreds of officials knelt together and saluted.
However, their expressions were very strange, as if they were unwilling but had to obey.
This point was carefully observed by Qin Hao.
If it were not for the order of the Sword Alliance's elders, the hundreds of officials might not have come to welcome him.
From this, it could be seen that the Sword Alliance's status in Jinling City was slightly higher than that of the Qin people.
However, Qin Hao did not care. He nodded slightly and said, "Yes!"
Qin Hao completely trusted the Sword Young Master's family.
Naturally, he did not care about these small fries in front of him.
As for the prestige of the Qin people in the future, Qin Hao had enough ability to prove it.
"Where are the City Defense Forces?
Guard His Highness into the palace! "
At this moment, the First Elder shouted in a dignified manner.
"The commander of the City Defense Forces, brother of the Champion, Jian Changchun of the Jian Family, greets Your Highness!"
Jian Changchun took the initiative to step forward and kneel on one knee in front of Qin Hao. He cupped his fists and saluted.
In fact, he should have knelt on both knees and kowtowed to Qin Hao.
However, Jian Changchun obviously did not want to do so. He was just being polite.
Even if he had to kneel down on one knee, he felt that he had given Qin Hao enough face.
And at this moment, with a "huala" sound, tens of thousands of City Defense Army soldiers marched forward with their long spears in their hands. Their tall and straight figures stood on both sides of the street, blocking the frenzied citizens.
Then, a huge carriage pulled by five Ferghana horses drove in front of Qin Hao.
A middle-aged man who looked like a eunuch was lying beside the carriage.
This carriage was a dragon carriage, which meant that it was specially used by the emperor to travel.
As the Crown Prince, Qin Hao was the next Emperor, so it was not impossible for him to ascend the Dragon Throne.
"Get up!"
Qin Hao didn't look at the eunuch lying on the ground.
Originally, Qin Hao wanted to step on the eunuch's back to get into the carriage, but he didn't have this habit.
As a result, he grabbed Xing 'er's hand and leapt up, landing firmly on the huge carriage. His resolute face radiated with the aura of an emperor. He waved his hand and said, "Return to the palace!"
"Officials, come with us!"
The First Elder raised his hand, and the kneeling officials immediately stood up. A few of them even rubbed their numb knees.
However, Qin Hao didn't pay any attention to Jian Changchun from beginning to end. He didn't even say a word.
This made Jian Changchun, who was still kneeling on one knee, feel awkward and embarrassed.
"I'll drive the carriage for His Highness!"
As the Young Master of the Jian Family, the Sword Young Master volunteered to be Qin Hao's carriage driver.
When he passed by Jian Changchun, he secretly transmitted his voice and snorted, "Second Uncle, you're so arrogant. Don't you know that you're embarrassing yourself?"
With that, the Sword Young Master landed on the dragon carriage. He pulled the reins with both hands and swung them down with all his might. "Get up!"
Screech …
The five white horses neighed softly and started to move forward slowly. Their hooves moved in unison. It was obvious that the five horses had undergone special training.
Immediately, Qin Hao sat on the dragon carriage with the heir of the Jian Family as the carriage driver. Under the protection of the City Defense Army, they followed the Divine Martial Street and headed towards the Imperial Palace.
Behind Qin Hao, there was a guard of honor with an extraordinary temperament.
However, the captain had changed to Tsiogua.
Tsiogua didn't care if the captain agreed or not. He directly snatched the captain's large horse and mounted it himself. He smiled and followed beside Qin Hao's dragon carriage.
The pitiful captain stood on the street, wanting to cry but having no tears.
The Honor Guard didn't have many opportunities to show their faces. Today, they should have been showing off. However, Tsiogua had snatched away their chance to show off.
Although he was very sad, he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction. After all, Tsiogua was His Highness, King Qi.
Behind the Honor Guard was the Sword Union's Elder Group.
After the Sword Union's Elder Group, it was the turn of the officials to follow behind.
The eyes of some of these officials twitched. They were very unhappy.
Under normal circumstances, when the First Prince of the Qin people returned, no matter how shabby he was, it was reasonable to give him a greeting gift. Even if he didn't give him a greeting gift, he should at least say a few words of courtesy.
However, Qin Hao didn't give them any face.
"This Qin Hao is really putting on airs!"
Deputy Imperial Censor Zhang Youwei inwardly snorted.
If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to mend his relationship with Tie Wanli and arrange his marriage, he wouldn't have come.
And all of these changes were caused by Qin Hao.
After everyone had left.
At this moment, only Jian Changchun was left kneeling in front of the city gate.
After all, Qin Hao hadn't allowed him to stand up.
At this moment, a cold wind blew, ruffling Jian Changchun's hair. He secretly clenched his fists. "Good, very good. The youth that Jiang Zhenghua admires really does have some skill.
Qin Hao, ah, Qin Hao, I don't know how great your ability is, but I've seen your arrogance. Let's wait and see.
