"Your Majesty's edict, great courtesy!"

"The Ministry of Rites is written, and the Great Rites are discussed!"

"The edict ordered all states to gather in Bianliang, discuss the dismissal of Shuzhou scholars, and discuss the law of great rites!"

The message seemed to have wings. In the past two or three years, Liaokou swept the north and south of the river, the Beijing division Bianliang fell, the royal family was captured, the new emperor Zhao Qi was self-reliant, the Ezhou Prime Minister respected the Son of Heaven not to serve the 'chaos' order, the southeast prefecture and county public council was promoted, and then under the threat of Liaokou's southern invasion, the Ezhou Prime Minister supported Zhao Qi, one after another big battles that touched the hearts of the people were started one after another, just repelled the Liao thieves, the two privy back divisions confronted, Zhao Xingde lone army to the north, after recovering Bianliang, Henan just settled down, the court and handsome, Zhao Xingde is the Xia country's ' At the same time, the case in Shuzhou, together with many cases of the government's 'meat' people, seemed to have become the focus of discussion among the state officials and gentry overnight, and even in the streets.

The changes in the current situation and the endless news that emerge every day have made people's hearts 'chaotic' to the extreme. The newspapers of the imperial court, the newspapers of the book club, and the unveiling posts of scholars, I don't know when, they were all over the streets. Not only did the city and county spread in the city, but even the rural peasants who occasionally went out to the grass market to go to the grass market also sold all kinds of fresh arguments and news to their neighbors when they returned. Many people only hope to support their families and live their lives, but whether it is the victory or defeat of the Song and Liao 'wars' war, or the government's 'forcing' of good people to become prostitutes, every news unconsciously arouses people's attention. All kinds of bad news broke the silence of rural life, leaving many people who have lost touch with each other for the elderly. Everywhere is lamenting the declining world, 'chaos' people are not as good as dogs, at this time, the imperial court suddenly announced, His Majesty issued an edict, the prime minister countersigned, the Ministry of Rites wrote, in order to revitalize the dynasty and rectify the world, the world's state school and government gathered in Bianliang, discussed the great rite law, and discussed the case of the dismissal of Shuzhou school and government. Dasongzhou County has long been full of dry firewood, and the news of the "Great Rites Discussion" is like a splashing spark, and every time it splashes in a place, it sets off an uproar.

"Revive the law of etiquette and revitalize the Great Song Dynasty." "Is the imperial court finally going to punish the 'traitor' ministers?"

"The law of etiquette rules the world, and we cannot sit idly by." "The imperial court is going to establish a royal law?"

"The Honshu Xuezheng Lord summoned the gentry to discuss the Great Rite Law in the state!" "Is the 'adulterous' husband's 'adultery' 'wife' immersed in the pig cage?"

"Your Majesty shouldn't take the opportunity to bring down Chen Shaoyang, right?" "Is the world going to be 'chaotic' again?"

"If you want to discuss the Great Rite Law, first eradicate those fish 'meat' people and those who are vegetarian in the corpse!"

The people's hearts boiled all of a sudden, and all kinds of discussions were in the dust, and for the sake of the great ceremony, some state schools wanted to re-elect the school and government, and some places even broke out in civil 'chaos'. Compared with the southeast prefecture and county, in the territory of the Tokyo Tuntian left behind in the reorganization of the former town of the national army, because most of the scholars crossed to the south and no one came forward to make trouble, the situation was much calmer. The main concern of the people of Tuntian is that the "official army" and the "Wang Shi" are in the same room to '' Ge. The Ministry of Rites is also sympathetic to the people's feelings, and the text says that Henan is newly restored, and the schools in various states are dilapidated, and the good and bad are uneven, so there is no need to send students to participate in the big ceremony.

In order to prevent accidents, the Tokyo Left-behind Division released the news early that if Zhao Xingde's old department robbed people halfway, in case of emergency, Zhao Xingde would be executed on the spot. After the Zhenguo Army Brigade was stationed in the area of Bianliang and Yingchangfu, Zhao Xingde was secretly escorted south by Yue Yun, accompanied by 300 cavalry.

All the way to Xiaoxing overnight, at noon this day, came to a post station in the boundary of Yuncheng to play sharp. Like most of the Song people, the Zhenguo army only ate two meals a day, and at noon they only fed their hunger with a handful of fried noodles or scones. The cavalry on duty lined up to fetch water from the well behind the post station, filled the water bladder, and tended to the horses. Yue Yunke dutifully accompanied Zhao Xingde, but like most of the soldiers of the Zhenguo Army, he did not have much hostility towards Zhao Xingde. Zhao Xingde was wearing a half-worn coat, sitting cross-legged in the camp, eating fried noodles with well water, and from a distance, he was almost indistinguishable from ordinary soldiers. Since being escorted out of Bianliang, Zhao Xingde has not read the Di Bao again, Yue Yun has no habit of circulating the Di Bao, and he has not asked Yue Yun for this. The young marshal of the Zhenguo Army was almost a copy of Yue Fei, and was silent all the way except for issuing orders to his subordinates and asking for opinions. Zhao Xingde rarely talked to Yue Yun, he didn't have a mount, he usually took a carriage, so it was convenient to write down his thoughts at any time, and before he knew it, the first draft of "The Gentleman's Country" was almost completed.

A cloud of smoke and dust suddenly rose from the northeast, and the rest of the cavalry stood up one after another, each holding their war horses by their side, and the head and captain of the capital shouted to their subordinates. Yuncheng is in the south of Bianliang and Yingchang Mansion, it stands to reason that there should not be a large fleet of Liao cavalry, but everything has a case, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, the four back soldiers were sandwiched between Zhao Xingde in the middle, both protection and defense, Yue Yun hurriedly took out a clairvoyant mirror and looked to the northeast, his brows furrowed, only to see that in front of the smoke and dust, dozens of horsemen were desperately beating horses and galloping, and behind them, there were more than a thousand cavalry chasing, and two groups of people and horses were coming straight to the direction of the post station where the Zhenguo army was stationed, and the distance was getting closer and closer.

"Close the 'gate' of the village, and the cavalry will form a circle and wait for the enemy." Yue Yun ordered.

The village 'door' of the post station was slowly pulled up, this post station was taken over by the Zhenguo Army not long ago, although there was only a simple wooden city wall, more than 200 post guards guarded, but it was meticulously built in accordance with the construction method of the "corner village" of the military department, and was built by the heavy battalion of the Tokyo Left-behind Division. The cavalry did not enter the post station, but formed a circle in front of the 'gate' of the village, which not only could get the support of the infantry soldiers in the village, but also shielded the 'gate' of the village, giving the post guards the courage of the village. Zhao Xingde did not enter the post station, but got off the carriage, rode on a horse, and was surrounded by the cavalry. These 300 cavalry have been in battle for a long time, and they are the first-class 'elite' elite in the Zhenguo army. Even if there are thousands of horsemen who come, in this land of horses and rivers, there are seven or eight points of certainty of forcibly breaking through.

"In front of it is the Sangtian Station, rushing into the village, and you can still rely on the village to hold on to help!"

The war horse spewed white gas, the sound of hooves became more and more scattered 'chaotic', the horse aid was sweating profusely, the mulberry field post was faintly visible, and the pursuers were getting closer and closer.

Since the change of commander in Bianliang, Lu Mingyu has openly supported the army and divided the territory. There are many scholars in his army, who not only cry out for Zhao Xingde, but also do not want to follow Lu Mingyu to divide the territory. Many officers from the southeast were 'privately' in tandem and wanted to flee back to Ezhou. The Great Song Dynasty has always been a scholar with good tolerance, and Ezhou is still in power with Qingliu such as Lishe, and the officers thought that Chen Xiang was "blinded" by the "traitor", even if Zhao Xingde had already been out of the Xia Kingdom, but he did not do anything to be sorry for the Great Song Dynasty, and he should not treat Zhao Xingde like this. Just when everyone was hesitating, there were rumors in the army that the Xia State had sent an envoy over, and Lu Mingyu 'wanted' to coerce the battalions and prefectures and counties of the Left Army to break away from the Song Dynasty and stand on their own, and the two sides were even talking about the fact that after the summer in the future, the armies of the three towns of Henan would be organized into battalion heads and captains according to the Xia State military system. This incident caused an uproar among the scholars. Conspiracy to commit rebellion is a "heinous" crime, a shame that cannot be washed away for life, and it will also bring shame to the father and relatives. Last night, dozens of officers took advantage of the evening rally to steal horses and flee. It didn't take long to be discovered. The commander Xia Biao led two battalions of horse troops to chase after him.

When he saw clearly that the 'gate' of the walled city was closed and hundreds of cavalry in front were waiting in battle, Ma Yuan couldn't help but scold: "Damn." ”

Many of the officers who had fled had a desperate look on their faces. In this formation, Sang Tianyi obviously will not let them into the village easily, and the so-called "according to the village" Yunyun is naturally impossible to talk about. Most of the officers came from the head of the infantry barracks, and although they also fought bloody battles on the way to the north, most of them were just ordinary in riding. If you are chased by more than 1,000 cavalry on the plain, there is basically no possibility of escaping.

"We are the officers of the left-behind division," Ma Yuan shouted loudly, "open the 'door' of the village!" ”

"Open the 'door' of the village!" All the officers gathered around Ma Yuan and shouted: "We are going back to Ezhou!" ”

"Open the 'door' of the village!" "Open the 'door' of the village!" The officers were sweating profusely and shouting as they looked behind them worriedly.

In less than a moment, more than a thousand cavalry spread their wings and surrounded almost the entire Sangtian Station.

"Ma June," Xia Biao rode forward alone, and shouted at Ma Yuan: "Lord Du Commander values you so much, why don't you just say hello and leave." If you let these people go back with me, the rulers will definitely be punished lightly. He glanced at the cavalry of the Zhenguo Army in front of the Sangtian Post Village, and shouted, "We are all people from the Baoyi Army, don't let others see the jokes." Among the scholar officers that Xia Biao looked down on, Ma Yuan was rarely promoted to a commander by virtue of his military merits. Lu Mingyu even wanted Ma Yuan to serve as the marching commander in the Xia military system, and his status was still above Xia Biao. Ma Yuan also learned that Lu Mingyu was secretly in contact with Xia Guo, and decided to flee Ezhou.

"Everyone has their own aspirations," Ma Yuan replied loudly, "why should General Xia be strong." ”

"Yes, we are going back to Ezhou!" "Everyone be careful, don't listen to his lies!"

The officers were gossiping. The handling of deserters in the army has always been unforgiving, and it involves major events such as plotting rebellion. Many people turned their heads to look at the Zhenguo army in front of the Sangtian Post Village, but no one asked the cavalry of the Zhenguo Army for help, in their eyes, the post guards were still regarded as the official army of the Great Song Dynasty, but the cavalry who were obviously the descendants of the Zhenguo Army may not have anything to discuss, maybe they would like the Baoyi Army to kill each other.

"In that case," Xia Biao's face turned cold, and he shouted, "Don't blame me for being rude." ”

He raised his right hand, and hundreds of cavalry of the left army bent their bows and arrows, aiming at the place where Ma Yuan and other officers gathered, as long as Xia Biao's right hand was put down, he immediately 'chaotic' arrows were fired in unison, and this group of people was 'shot' to death here. Ma Yuan looked back at Sang Tianyi, looked at the bow and arrow in front of him, was filled with grief and indignation, and shouted: "Brother Paoze, who was born and died, do you want to kill each other?" Xia Biao was slightly stunned, hesitated slightly, and shouted again: "You go back with me, and let the adults rule the down!" However, there was silence in reply, and at this point, none of the officers who had fled were willing to go back and confess. When Xia Biao raised his right hand again. Quite a few officers 'revealed' desperate expressions on their faces, and some of them 'drawn' their sabers, tightened their reins, and prepared to charge desperately.

At this time, I suddenly heard a loud shout: "Stop! When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, and Xia Biao and Ma Yuan lost their voices at the same time: "Handsome! ”

"Do you '' in the same room?" Zhao Xingde looked at the subordinates who were confronting him, and shouted: "Put away all the blades!" ”
