Chapter 36: Pride and Rules

Clay carving wood sculpture people will be not interested in looking at it for a long time, Tokyo Bianliang City has a lot to see, stay here to see a few hills, it is better to go to the post horse bridge to see the powder, no matter how bad you can go to Xiangguo Temple to see those women's sumo, and then come to a few kinds of dishes, three or two pastries, wouldn't it be more comfortable?

No one in the court was willing to say a word more, and even Pang Ji and Han Qi could only express their own judgment at this time, and could not make any decisions for the emperor.

The scholar of the Fuwen Pavilion suddenly came out of the class and said, "Your Majesty, it is actually easy to make a decision. ”

Wang Chu is Zhao Zhen's teacher, he grew up watching Zhao Zhen grow up, he naturally has a very clear understanding of his disciple's character, and his indecisive temperament is exposed at this moment, since Di Qing is in danger, and Yun Zheng is in Guangnan, they are the ones who can have the most intuitive evaluation of the incident, a group of people are searching for dry intestines here, it is better to ask the soldiers in front if they have any plans.

Zhao Zhen was overjoyed when he saw the teacher appear, and said continuously: "What is Aiqing's plan, come quickly." ”

Wang Chu stood in the middle of the hall with Beban in his arms and said: "Di Qing is the deputy envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, and the fact that a prisoner can reach today's status depends on his outstanding military exploits, and the glory earned by a hundred battles with a knife and a shot is undoubted.

Since Yun Zheng can poke out such a big mess in Qingtang and Xixia, and then retreat with his whole body, he is not an idle person, these are nothing, the most unusual thing about the old man is that this person can reorganize the useless box army into an invincible male division in a short period of time, almost on par with the Western army, such a ability can be seen in the court, no one can beat it!

Lao Chen just looked carefully at Yu Jing's notebook, and there seemed to be something unsaid in several places, so Lao Chen made a bold guess. The two commanders in the front army formation may have already made a plan, but they didn't dare to make decisions on their own, which pushed the problem to the court. ”

As soon as Wang finished speaking, the court immediately exploded. Pang. Wen Yanbo, Han Qi didn't fail to see the cat on Yu Jing's fold. But this kind of speculation about the remarks of the generals in front, especially the remarks of the heroes, is very taboo, so they kept silent, since someone jumped out to tear this veil. Naturally, everyone talked about it.

Zhao Zhen read Yu Jing's recital again, and suddenly found that Yu Jing actually mentioned in the recital that the messenger who sent the letter was Wu Shengjun Du Yu Hou, and praised this person twice, which is categorically not in line with Yu Jing's way of doing things. If it is simply to send a letter, why use such a person, the war ahead is in full swing, and it is the time to employ people. and will send out a letter of great generals.

Without waiting for Zhao Zhen to speak, Han Qi asked Yu Shi, "Where is the messenger ahead?" ”

Shi Yushi arched his hand, and immediately went out of the palace to ask, and when he came to the secretary's pavilion to ask, he learned that the young official had not reported the outside matter, and the young man pointed to the panicked young man and hurriedly went out of the palace to find the messenger, at this time he would rather run by himself than make any mistakes.

When Shi Yushi came to the Jinjuan Academy, the sun was already in the west, and when he raised his eyes to see this small military formation in front of him, he was a person who had seen a big scene, when Lang Tan and others stared at him with a brush, it actually made him feel suffocated, a war horse because he had not drunk water for a long time, and was harassed by someone, and he stood up and opened his mouth and neighed, which made Shi Yushi can't help but take two steps back.

"Take off your armor as soon as possible, and follow me into the palace!" The servant said hurriedly.

"Who gave the order?" Lang Tan asked in a deep voice.

"Order out to participate in political affairs!"

"My generation, as the Son of Heaven's pro-army, went out on the expedition, the war is not over, and I dare not take off the armor lightly, if you want our generation to remove the armor, please order the Son of Heaven!" Lang Tan bowed and said.

The face of the servant Yushi changed greatly, and then he realized that he came out too quickly just now, and he actually forgot to ask the Son of Heaven to order, although the words of the ministers on weekdays are also counted, and the same is true for summoning some generals to question, but at this moment, it is really inappropriate to order a group of tigers and wolves, these people are too different from the generals.

The young official of the Secretary Pavilion who came with him was just about to scold, but he was forced to go back by a gloomy look from the Imperial Servant, and this young official from a wealthy family found that he had not done the right thing today.

The servant Yushi returned to the court and said: "Begin to play Your Majesty, the military formation cannot be dispersed unless the Son of Heaven order, and the warrior is not ordered by the Son of Heaven not to remove his armor!" ”

Han Qi's pupils shrank and he didn't say a word, Zhao Zhen was interested at this time, and he didn't remember where this rule came from after thinking about it for a long time. Wang Chu sighed and went out of class and said: "This is the law of gold and stone, Taizu, Taizong's legacy, the soldiers are out, follow the tiger talisman general's order, the soldiers return, and no order from the Son of Heaven will not unload the armor!"

The law of gold and stone has been forgotten by the world, and only the warriors still remember that the Great Song Dynasty still has this rule! ”

Zhao Zhen nodded again and again, feeling that such a law should indeed be obeyed, and after thinking about it, he asked the servant Yushi: "How many people are there in the messenger?" ”

"Thirty people, the breath of blood and fire on their bodies has not dissipated, sixty horses! The wildness remains. ”

Zhao Zhenqi said: "Order them to enter the palace, and after I review it, I will personally issue an order to remove the armor." ”

The servant Yushi did not move this time, and a eunuch stood at the entrance of the main hall and shouted at the top of his voice: "Your Majesty has an order, and the military is ordered to wait for the martial arts and the army, and the official is to accept Lang Lang's frank department to enter the palace!" ”

Such shouts spread out one by one, until the concert hall, the Tan official who spoke for Lang Tan walked out of the concert hall, clasped his hands together and shouted solemnly towards Lang Tan's military formation: "Your Majesty has an order, order the martial victory army to wait, and the official will be able to enter the palace with Lang Lang's frank department!" ”

Lang Tan knelt down on one knee and clasped his hands into fists and shouted: "Weichen Lang Tan takes the order!" He stood up and shouted to his subordinates: "Get on the horse, three people in a row to form a school parade formation!" ”

Everyone beat their chests with their fists, shouted "喀" and turned over on their horses, and the little official led them into the huge palace gate, and the golden gourd warrior who guarded the gate put down the golden gourd in his hand, drew his knife out of the sheath, and watched these people enter the palace with a pestle at his feet. Lang Tan pulled out the military flag on his back, put it in his hand, turned around a lot along the horse road paved with yellow sand, walked the narrow road, and then drilled out from behind the Daqing Palace, the emperor did not listen to the government in the Zichen Hall today, but in the Vertical Arch Palace, the military formation could not go to the front hall, so he had to come in from the side of the Vertical Arch Palace, Rao is so. When the curious Zhao Zhen stood in front of the vertical arch hall, he was also taken aback.

Not only was the emperor surprised, but the guards in front of the palace guarded the emperor tightly, and the palms of the head of the guards were sweating.

These people are really armed to the teeth, after the armor is down. It's even more eerie and hairy. The spears in his hands are all flat to make the appearance of charging into battle, and three people and six horses are in a row. In an instant, he arrived in front of the vertical arch hall, and stood in the gap between the Japanese military formations holding the side of the attendants, which looked very eye-catching, not because of the armor. It's because they don't dismount.

Lang Tan was firmly anxious about Yun Zheng and Su Xun's words, pride is what he must show to come out, and in addition to pride, keeping etiquette is also something that he must show out, because what he wants to say later is too shocking, so he must be on a limited thirty horsemen, so that the emperor can think of a strong army. That's how success is possible.

Zhao Zhen looked at the army in front of him with interest. I really wanted to go down the steps to see for myself, but I was put in front of him by the teacher Wang, who was not allowed to go down.

Pang Ji and Han Qi Wen Yanbo didn't have so many worries, and walked directly to the military formation to check. Pat the horse's buttocks, and then pat the back of the soldiers, Pang Ji, Han Qi also took out their waist knives to check, and saw that they were covered with small gaps, and they couldn't help nodding, such knives are sharp weapons for killing, and the black skin forged on the back of the knife has not disappeared, but these waist knives are already a lot narrower than the waist knives used by ordinary people, obviously, this is all after the battle, and the waist knife has been sharpened and narrowed.

Zhao Zhen saw that the ministers had finished reading it, so he said, "Get off the horse!" ”

Thirty people shouted "Woo", and they all got off their horses, stood on the side of the war horse, and walked over to thirty eunuchs with plates, and Zhao Zhen ordered to remove his armor!

Wu Shengjun's battle armor weighed twenty pounds, plus waist knives, strong crossbows, spears, and some messy bits and pieces on the body, the weight of these things was fifty pounds, the eunuch holding the plate had a red face, Niu Da untied a pair of chain hammers from his waist and threw them into the big wooden plate held by the eunuch with a bang, where could the eunuch stand such strength, the plate in his hand immediately overturned, Niu Da scratched his head, and quickly squatted down to help the eunuch pick it up, seeing that the eunuch really couldn't move, he helped the eunuch hold the wooden plate with one hand, Seeing Zhao Zhen shook his head and smiled.

Lang Tan had already changed into his civilian robe, and the pale green robe of Cheng Lang was worn on him, and he immediately set off the whole person with polite and polite qualities, and the rough and wild spirit just now was gone.

Thirty plates were neatly placed at Zhao Zhen's feet, and seeing that Wu Shengjun had finished unloading his armor, those guards breathed a sigh of relief and no longer surrounded the emperor.

Zhao Zhen walked through the middle of the wooden plate with great interest, and occasionally picked up one of the blades and asked his guard leader, what is this thing for, without waiting for the guard leader to answer, his own military general volunteered to help the emperor explain.

Zhao Zhen asked the leader of the guards to pick up Lang Tan's armor, stroked the traces of the knife and axe on it with his hand, and sighed: "If it is really a general who dies in a hundred battles, the strong man will return in ten years!" ”

Pang Ji smiled and said: "An inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood are natural. ”

Han Qi said: "It will be a vocation on the border, it is unwritten, you can only sell martial arts, and exchange your flesh and blood for military merits and a wife and a cute son, the money and food spent on the military array by the Great Song Dynasty every year has reached sixty percent of the annual income, and the army is used for a thousand days, so the dynasty does not owe them." ”

Zhao Zhen looked at Lang Tan, who was kneeling in front of him, and said: "Lang Tan, you are in charge of Lang, but you are fighting in the border state, is it also the reason for your lack of knowledge?" ”

Lang Tan arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, my Wusheng Army is full of scholars, and Weichen is indeed nothing, such as Yundu Prison, Su Senjun, Zhou Fenghualang, Wu Counselor Lang, these people's knowledge is not comparable to Weichen, that is, the rough man in the army, and the big watermelon can also know a load, so in the Wusheng Army, a little knowledge is nothing."

Wechen and others heard that His Majesty will open this year, and there are no less than 20 people in the Wusheng army who plan to lock the hall for the exam, so the capital supervisor sent Wechen Starry Night to the capital to ask for advice, as long as the imperial court policy is clear, we will quickly start a war for His Majesty to calm the demons, so that I can return to Beijing to participate in the big competition! ”
