Chapter 160: The Khan Enters Beijing

Early the next morning, the low horn sound continued to sound outside the city of Chang'an, and the flags of the city were also planted with yellow and white flags.

If it is said that the entry of the Hui Khan into Beijing is a gesture of looking down on the Tang Dynasty, it is to enter Beijing as a benefactor who assisted the Tang Dynasty in quelling the Anshi Rebellion, and tore the dignity of the Tang Dynasty Khan to shreds.

Then Sijie Khan's pilgrimage to Chang'an was to enter Beijing as a kind of courtier's audience, which more or less saved a little bit of the dignity of the Tang Dynasty.

The Sijie tribe annexed the Absi tribe, with a territory of thousands of miles, and it is second only to the Hui in the grassland.

In fact, the relationship between the Sijie and the Hui was very good, and the annexation of the Absi by the Sijie was also tacitly approved by the Hui Ministry, the overlord of the grassland.

The fundamental reason is that the Qarluq people continue to expand eastward, supporting the Xue Yantuo tribe to annex the Absi tribe, once Xue Yantuo annexes the Absi department, the power of the Qarluq people will enter the core area of Mobei, and the entire Mobei grassland will be threatened.

In the sound of drums and horns, a cavalry team of 2,000 people gradually approached Chang'an, the team waved the banner, mighty, the military camp was prepared outside Chang'an City, the Sijie cavalry entered the military camp to rest, only 300 personal soldiers and 1,000 Tang troops escorted Saal Khan to Chang'an City.

At this time, the hundred officials led by the right minister Yuan Zai have been waiting outside the city of Chunming Gate, and with the sound of the trumpet, the team of Sijie Khan finally arrived, led by Saal Khan, who wore a hat and a brown fine silk robe, with a burly figure and a mighty momentum.

He was accompanied by Zhao Gongquan, the secretary of the Tang Honglu Temple, who went from Yan'an Mansion to meet Sijie Khan and his party, and accompanied him all the way south.

Behind Salle were his wife, son, and important officials of the Ministry of Thought.

Zhao Gongquan saw the officials of the Tang Dynasty coming up, and hurriedly said: "Khan, these are high-ranking officials above the third grade, and the official headed by is our Zhongshu Ling Yuan Xiangguo." ”

Salle also stayed in Chang'an for many years when he was young, and understood many rules of the Tang Dynasty, he hurriedly dismounted, stepped forward with a smile and hugged his fists and said: "Sijie Salle see Yuan Xiangguo!" ”

Yuan Zai hurriedly returned the salute, "I am entrusted by the Son of Heaven to warmly welcome the Khan to visit Datang, and I hope that Datang and Sijiebu will treat each other with sincerity and become brothers forever." ”

"Thank you for the grace of the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, can I go to meet the Son of Heaven now?"

Yuan Zai smiled slightly, "The Khan has worked hard from afar, so let's rest well for the night, and tomorrow we will hold a ceremony to officially welcome the arrival of the Khan and Kedun." ”

Yuan Zai immediately asked Sale to get into the car, and he personally accompanied him, and more than a dozen carriages carried Sijie and his party to the Honglu Temple Hotel.

Along the way, the lights are colorful, the water is poured on the street, the loess mat road, the people on both sides are full of people who welcome distinguished guests from afar, and the Tang Dynasty has carefully prepared to give enough face to Sijie Khan.

........

Today, Yu Chaoen is not in the sequence of welcoming Sijie Khan, Yu Chaoen has already smelled the breath of Li Yu wanting to do something to him, the capital is no longer safe, he hid in the camp of the Shence Army, and only here does he feel safe.

Of course, Yu Chaoen has been operating in the imperial court for many years, and his henchmen are full of government and opposition, and there are also a lot of layouts in the Imperial Forest Army, the most important of which is his brother Yu Chao'an, who has been in charge of Qianniuwei for five years, and has a very strict control over Qianniuwei, and it is precisely because his brother controls Qianniuwei that Yu Chaoen dares to enter and leave the forbidden palace freely.

Another important purpose of the Yuchao Enlai Shence Army this time, or his real purpose, was to prepare a coup d'Γ©tat and overthrow Li Yu.

Autumn hunting is the best opportunity, away from Chang'an, basically by Qianniuwei is responsible for safety, Qianniuwei is included, his Shence army is outside, that is, catch turtles in the urn, abolish Li Yu, and then set up Li Miao on the throne, at least 20 years, the Yu family will enjoy the glory and wealth.

Thinking of this, Yu Chaoen couldn't help but smile proudly.

On the training ground, tens of thousands of soldiers were training in full swing, and there were four generals standing behind Yu Chaoen, who were the generals who really mastered the 100,000 Divine Army, and they were all Yu Chaoen's henchmen.

The first henchman is naturally his nephew Yu Lingwu, the eldest son of Yu Chao'an, who is in charge of the most elite First Army; The second henchman, Yu Lingqing, the seventh son of Yu Chaoen, was originally surnamed Jia and was accepted as a righteous son by Yu Chaoen; The third henchman, Dou Feiyun, Dou Xianlai's brother, his appointment as the general of the Shence Army is Yu Chaoen's reward for the Dou family's support for him; The fourth henchman, Huang Fu Jun, is the nephew of Huang Fu Wen.

Yu Lingwu and Yu Lingqing are completely tall among the shorts, they are useless except loyalty, they want martial arts without martial arts, they want to have command power without command power, this is also Yu Chaoen's biggest headache, the Yu family is withering, his eldest brother needless to say, a butcher who kills pigs, obviously has no ability but likes to show himself, and the Yu Linghui he gave himself is a little better, and he has read for a few days, but the second son Yu Lingwu is completely a street scoundrel.

Several of his fakes disappointed him and were useless, this Yu Lingqing was tall and burly, but unfortunately he didn't even know a word, but he had a few pounds of stupid strength, but he became a general.

However, for Yu Chaoen, loyalty is more important than other aspects, and only absolute loyalty to him can allow him to firmly control the Shence Army.

On the contrary, Dou Feiyun and Huang Fujun are both children of famous families, strong in martial arts, experienced in commanding the army, and they have been promoted from low-level officers to generals step by step, and their own loyalty to Yu Chaoen cannot be speculated, but their family has formed an alliance with Yu Chaoen, and the credibility of the family is a guarantee for the two, and Yu Chaoen still has basic trust in the two of them.

At this time, Yu Lingwu asked in a low voice, "Second uncle, when are we leaving?" ”

"Don't worry, the autumn hunt will start the day after tomorrow, I will go to participate in the autumn hunt the day after tomorrow, and then you are ready to go, I will give you a detailed plan, I will use the tiger talisman to transfer troops when you set off, and when you see my tiger talisman, you can go, understand?"

"Humble duty understands!" The four of them bowed together.

........

Although the imperial court paid special attention to the Sijie Khan's visit, the common people were particularly obsessed with the annual polo tournament, which kicked off in various stadiums in Chang'an City after the grouping.

The rules of the polo game are very similar to today's football game, the twenty-four teams are divided into four groups, each group of six teams play a round-robin match, in the cycle of bad matches, each team has to play three games, each group eliminates two teams, the loser of the three games is the first to be eliminated, and then two losses and one win, if they are all two losses and one win, then look at the goal difference, the goal difference is less, and the one with less goal difference is eliminated.

The Shuofang Army Polo Team is divided into the third group, with the right guard polo team, the Hexi Army Polo Team, the Left Xiaowei Polo Team, the Left Guard Polo Team, the Ziqing Army Polo Team, and finally the Shuofang Army Polo Team.

Among them, the right guard polo team was fourth last year, the left Xiaowei polo team was sixth last year, and the Hexi Army Polo Team and the Left Prison Keeper Polo Team reached the top 16 last year, and the Shuofang Army Polo Team and Ziqing Polo Team are difficult brothers and sisters, ranking after the 20th.

The first match of the Shuofang Army Polo Team was in the Polo Arena at Anren Fong, against the left guard polo team.

This is almost a game without suspense, and many people envy the left guard Polo team for drawing a good draw, and actually drew the weak Shuofang Army.

There weren't even many spectators watching the game, standing sparsely on the sidelines, and there was no crowd like a strong team game.

"Dang!" The bell rang and the first game ended, with the left guard polo team leading 2-0, a result that everyone expected.

At this time, Li Ji ran over and said to Guo Song: "In the second game, you go and replace Wang Qian to fight the front army." ”

Guo Song moved his arms slightly, and it was finally his turn to play.
