The sun is approaching, and the bells and drums are ringing in unison.

The sound of bells and drums played by the musicians resounded through most of the imperial city.

The solemn music made the civil and military officials and all the officers and soldiers involuntarily have the idea of surrender and bow down in the direction of the city tower.

A yellow Luo umbrella cover appeared on the city tower, and Emperor Jianzhao was dressed in a Ming Yellow Dragon robe, surrounded by many imperial guards, and sat on the throne.

After a few moments of music, the ministers got up, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites came out to read the holy decree.

The holy decree praised all the soldiers who participated in the victory at Hutoutan, and rewarded Sima Fu Liangji, the commander of the army, Ji Nantang and others.

Fu Liangji and others stepped forward to accept the order.

The official lifted his breath and shouted "sacrifice prisoners", and the many guards in the square and the 3,000 soldiers brought back by Ji Nantang chanted accordingly, and the sound shook the sky.

There were only about thirty captives who were really qualified to show up at this moment, and these people, dressed in prison uniforms and carrying heavy iron shackles on their hands and feet, entered the square under the escort of hundreds of powerful guards, and when they reached the tower, they were forced to their knees.

Fu Liangji reported to Emperor Jianzhao about the battle at Hutoutan, explained the identities of these captives one by one, highlighted the two nephews of Tiyanshan, and asked for instructions on what to do.

Although he had long known that the two kneeling in front were the nephews of Yan Shan, the great leader of Dongyi, Emperor Jianzhao still looked at them condescendingly and ordered the two: "Raise your head." ”

The two men did not listen, and the guards in charge of escorting them were already tugging at their hair, forcing them to tilt their faces.

In the impression of Emperor Jianzhao and the civil and military ministers, Dongyi has not yet been civilized, and the people there are either short like dwarfs or look like evil ghosts.

Although the two brothers did not take the opportunity to scold, they were either angry or disdainful, obviously not very convinced by the defeat and capture.

Emperor Jianzhao snorted in his heart and ordered all the captives to be handed over to the Criminal Division for custody.

Tongdong has been fighting intermittently for decades, and it is the first time that he has caught such a high-status figure on the other side, and he will be strictly interrogated, so he must be able to learn a lot of valuable things from their mouths, at least he must dig out Dongyi's spy leader of the potential Liang, the notorious ghost boy.

Including the two brothers, the captives were forced by the guards to bow to Emperor Jianzhao, and then the officials of the Criminal Division took over and escorted them out.

After the prisoner ceremony, the big music played, Emperor Jianzhao was in a very good mood, the whole person seemed to be more than ten years younger, and ordered the generals who gave the banquet to return victoriously, the two princes and the civil and military ministers to accompany them.

Wen Sheng, who was included in the "Book of the Great Liang", was not qualified to attend, and only heard about it from others later.

At that time, she had already said goodbye to the people in the General's Mansion, went back to meet Tan Yaohua and Zhong Tianzheng, and prepared to set off for the Xuanyin Pavilion for the afternoon team battle.

When she saw Zhong Tianzheng, she remembered the quarrel between the two last night, and remembered what she said, "Playing this song depends on the mood, you are in front of me, my heart is panicked, and naturally I can't play it", and she couldn't help but laugh in her heart.

In front of everyone, Zhong Tianzheng didn't give her a look, his expression was a little faint, Wen Sheng thought about it, and simply didn't tell him the good news, ready to scare him again when he got on stage.

After a while, Emperor Jianzhao was going to bring his ministers to the scene, and Xuanyin Pavilion was ready to take over.

Mr. Tan Da and Mr. Tan Er, the presidents of the two courts, both appeared, and there was a vacant space for the boss around the Tongle stage, with a throne in the center, and seats for the courtiers on both sides.

Except for the ten teams that played the team battle, the other musicians all had to stay in the field of more than ten zhang after taking over.

As a result, this imperial banquet in the palace took too long, and when it was almost Yin, Emperor Jianzhao was late under the support of the ministers.

When the holy car approached, Mr. Tan Da and Mr. Tan Er led the musicians to kneel to greet them, and Wen Sheng quietly looked up in the crowd, but found that Zhong Tianzheng, who was kneeling beside her, was also peeking.

Without waiting to see Emperor Jianzhao and the ministers who came over, the two of them glanced at each other first.

Wen Sheng thought secretly: "Although Emperor Jianzhao is his great enemy, he has already seen it in the Sitong Hall last time, who is he looking at, can't he also be a general?" ”

Seeing Emperor Jianzhao with a happy face and steady steps, the two princes stretched out their hands to support each other on the left and right, and it was Sima Fu Liangji who walked on the outside of the eldest prince, and the second prince was accompanied by a military general wearing a big red official robe.

This person looked about thirty-five or sixteen years old, his face was slightly dark, except for this official robe and his complexion that had been exposed to the wind and sun at first glance, he really did not look like a military general who could fight in battle.

Neither with a bad face nor a burly figure, walking beside the second prince, his steps are not big, revealing a calmness.

Looking at the face again, the facial features are upright and the eyes are bright, but this person's cheekbones are slightly flat, and the two long eyebrows and eyebrows are a little drooping, which makes him look very kind.

At this moment, Wen Sheng saw that the second prince turned his head sideways and didn't know what to say to him, this person smiled back, his smile was gentle and kind, and he was quite bookish.

This person is the famous Ji Nantang, the general Ji Da she has always wanted to meet, but she has not had the opportunity to meet.

It's really a little different from the person Wen Sheng imagined.

At this time, Wen Sheng suddenly remembered that Qi Qin had praised Ji Nantang as "more than a dozen people who have won the reputation of the country, twenty Wenwu Zhen Dynasty Gang, who doesn't read Nantang sentences, who doesn't know General Ji", although there may be no lack of exaggeration, but it must be true to be able to write a few strokes.

When I go back, I will definitely find his masterpiece and read it carefully, and see what is written.

Emperor Jianzhao sat down, asked everyone to be flat, gave the minister of civil and military affairs, and specially arranged Ji Nantang under him.

Mr. Tan Da and Mr. Tan Er stepped forward to ask for advice, Emperor Jianzhao briefly asked about the content of today's exam, and heard that it was the first day of the top ten qualifying battle, so he was quite interested, and asked the musicians to hurry up to the stage to compete, and left the Tan brothers by his side, so that he could explain one or two at any time.

Tan Ruibo said with a smile: "Holy Lord, this first game is a competition between the team of the third brother of Weichen and a team from the Southern Courtyard, and the team of the Southern Courtyard ranked seventh in the spring test. ”

When Emperor Jianzhao heard that the strength of the two sides was so disparity, he said: "Then I'm afraid this one is nothing to look forward to." The last time it was more than your two brothers, it was a wonderful one, and I remember that I fought for more than an hour. Nantang, you haven't been in Beijing for a long time, I'm afraid you haven't seen the team battle of my Daliang musician. ”

Ji Nantang, who was on the side, heard the emperor call his name, and hurriedly bowed and said: "The saint said yes, the minister has only heard of it, and he has never had the opportunity to feel it for himself, so he is really curious." ”

At this time, the eight disciples of the two teams on the same stage were ready, and they only waited for the opening drum to sound, and then the war began. R1152
