Volume 3: Crossing Hainan Chapter 47: Ring the Chimes Again, Triumph!
Late at night, the imperial capital of the Xia Kingdom!
The night is deep, and Chang'an City is still brightly lit at this moment, all kinds of green buildings, brothels, and shops have been lit with lanterns, and the city gate has long been closed.
"Bell!"
In this silent night, an ancient and heavy bell rang, spreading out from the front of the Taiji Hall, and for a long time, the people who had already fallen asleep were woken up and complained loudly.
"What a sound!"
The officials who were sleeping with their aunts suddenly woke up from their dreams, and this familiar bell was really unforgettable for them!
Two months ago, Li Yijie, the king of Qi, and Li Yanli, the king of Wei, colluded with the Zong family to rebel, the king of Qi died, and the king of Wei was imprisoned with a broken hand. And the head of the Zong family, Zong Ai, took his stupid son Zong Yi to the west to unite with the guards of the Tianshan Mountains to betray the enemy of the Zong family and let the Song army enter the pass. To the 100,000 Dragon Tooth Army of Great Xia, the soul of the good man broke the Tianshan Pass! Then, the eldest princess Li Siqi led the troops to the west, and the ten thousand troops took the head of Ouyang Qing, the enemy general of the Song State, recaptured the Tianshan Pass, and saved the west. After that, the sword broke through the Pingjiang Pass in the east of the Song Kingdom, and shot Liu Yuan, the guard of the Pingjiang Pass, with three arrows!
At that time, after the war report from the western frontier was transmitted to the imperial capital, Emperor Xia asked for seven ringings of the chime bell in the middle of the night, and the whole world celebrated!
But now at this time, he is meowing in the middle of the night, is it ......?
It's the South!!
"Bell!"
The study of the Zhou family at this moment.
After Emperor Xia's personal expedition, all the folds were handed over to Zuo Prime Minister's uncle for thoughtful review, and he would go to Guo Jia for help if they were more difficult to handle, so Zhou Quan often fell asleep in the middle of the night.
Zhou Quan heard the sound of a chime just now, and he always thought it was an auditory hallucination, but now, the second sound rang again!
It's not an auditory hallucination, someone is ringing the chime again!
"Bell!"
Just when Zhou Quan was puzzled, the third bell rang, and Zhou Quan stood up violently, he was 100% sure at this time, this sound was definitely from the chime!
"Could it be that His Majesty has come to the imperial capital by will?"
Zhou Quan's brows furrowed, but he quickly put on his coat, whether it was for the sake of it, this time, he was going to the palace again in the middle of the night!
"Bell!"
The fourth bell rang, and Guo Jia in the Juxian Pavilion was dressing, frowning slightly: "This time it's the bell ringing in the middle of the night, is it the southern border?" ”
"Could it be that the remnants of the Great Prince's forces are about to move?"
You must know that the bell is the instrument of the town of Daxia, built since the founding of the country, generally, only when a major event occurs, the bell will be ringed, and the number of rings is also determined by the situation of the situation!
"Bell!"
"Bell!"
It rang six times, if Guo Jia is not mistaken, the last time he struck the bell, it was a great victory in the west, and before that, it was a rebellion of the two kings!
According to the Great Xia ritual system, the highest is nine rings, if it is really nine rings, one is the emperor collapse, and the other is the new emperor ascending the throne!
At this moment, six rings are enough to scare the big and small officials in the stupid imperial capital, if Your Majesty is in the imperial capital, it is good to say, but at this time, Your Majesty is far away at the border, why do you chime six times!
According to the laws of Great Xia, once the bell rings more than five times, all officials in the imperial capital, regardless of their official position, must rush to the Taiji Hall within a stick of incense.
If you're late, then I'm sorry, you don't need to resign and go into hiding, you don't need to work for reform, just click, see the emperor and go!
"Bell!"
Guo Jia is not an official of the Xia Kingdom, but before the Xia Emperor drove the expedition, he asked Guo Jia to cooperate with the comprehensive management of Daxia, and when the bell rang, he naturally wanted to go!
When the bell rang for the seventh life, Guo Jia hurriedly pushed open the door, found a coat and simply draped it on his body, and his eyes were horrified: "Come on, prepare the horse!" ”
"Sir, you are weak, the old man should prepare the carriage!" The public loser came over and whispered to Guo Jia.
"Thank you Master Ban for your kindness!"
Guo Jia paused for a moment, and immediately responded: "Taking the carriage, Jia is afraid that he will not be able to catch up." Let's get ready to hurry! ”
"Good! I'll go personally! The loser trotted towards the stable.
"There is labor!"
……
Sima Mansion.
Sima Quan hurriedly put on his clothes, and he was also preparing a horse to enter the palace!!
At this time, the entire Imperial Capital City was boiling again!
On the streets of the imperial capital, the carriages of various dignitaries and nobles hurried to one direction at the same time: "Imperial Palace!" ”
"Prime Minister Zuo has arrived!"
"Mr. Guo has arrived!"
"The right prime minister has arrived!"
"General Li Guang has arrived!"
The roll call officer shouted, and Zhou Quan strode into the Taiji Hall, swept around, and his eyes fell on a Cao Zhengchun.
I saw Cao Zhengchun holding the phoenix order high in one hand and the good news in the other, and was about to walk over only to hear: "The queen mother has arrived!" ”
"See the Queen!"
Zhou Fangyi walked out of the side hall, and the ministers led by Zhou Quan Sima Quan saluted one after another.
Zhou Quan's face was worried, he walked in quickly, and when he saw the queen, he hurriedly asked, "Queen, what is going on?" ”
"Brother, don't worry!"
Zhou Fangyi smiled indifferently and said loudly to Cao Zhengchun: "Read it!" ”
Cao Zhengchun walked forward quickly, handed the good news in his hand to Zhou Quan, and said loudly: "The great victory in the south, our army annihilated 500,000 foreign navies, and your majesty will return to the dynasty three days later!" ”
"What did you say!"
Sima Quan trembled, his lips trembled and he was almost speechless.
Zhou Quan's face was overjoyed, and his eyes were shining, but the shock in his heart was not at all!
"How many enemies have our army killed?"
Cao Zhengchun had an irrepressible look of excitement on his face, and said loudly: "Zhuge Liang, the military advisor under the command of Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager, took advantage of the east wind to enter the sea in the Black Wind Canyon late at night, taking advantage of the right time and place, landing on Heima River Island, and attacking the eight islands of different races at night. Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager personally led an army of 100,000 to attack the headquarters of the alien race, and beheaded the Governor Yu Wangting of the alien race! The remaining eight islands were all raided by the generals under the command of Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager, 500,000 alien navies were wiped out, and 300,000 alien civilians were slaughtered on the island, so far there are no aliens in the world! ”
Zhou Fangyi smiled faintly, bowed her head slightly, and said: "Everyone, early tomorrow morning, I will issue an edict to inform the whole country of this matter, and in addition, Lord Wang, your Ministry of Rites will immediately start preparations to welcome Your Majesty back to the court!" ”
"This is a big victory, and it should be celebrated by the whole world!"
"No!" Wang Zixun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, immediately stepped forward and responded respectfully.
……
"Bell Bell Bell ......"
Early in the morning, the gongs and drums shook the sky, and some people who had not yet gotten up put on their clothes and came out to see the situation.
"Someone from the Ministry of Rites again?"
I saw a group of people in red official uniforms beating gongs and drums, passing through the street at the gate of the imperial capital.
"Did you hear that last night? The chimes are ringing again! A young strong man looked at the people on the side and asked softly.
"I heard it, and it rang seven times in a row!"
"It only rang seven two months ago, right? Why is it ringing again? ”
"You ask me, I ask who is going?"
A young man exclaimed, and everyone around him nodded, and said in a deep voice: "You know, now that Your Majesty is not in the imperial capital, the chime bell rings seven times, I don't know what happened, I hope there will be no more accidents!" ”
"Look, the government has posted a notice again!"
Several officials posted notices on the city wall and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, yesterday, news came from Nanyang City!" ”
An official looked at the crowd in front of him, and said loudly: "The great victory in the southern border, my Great Xia will wipe out all 500,000 foreign navy!" ”
A woman hurriedly asked, "My lord, how many enemies do you say I have destroyed in Great Xia?" ”
The official laughed and said, "500,000! You heard it right, it's 500,000, and 300,000 alien civilians have been slaughtered on the island, and the alien race has been wiped out, and there will be no more alien names in our Tianwu Continent in the future! ”
"What a murder!" A literati scholar sighed: "Why do you want to slaughter the island, those are all unarmed ordinary people!" ”
"Fuck your brother-in-law, you wiped out the 500,000 army of the alien race, will the alien race still let you go?"
"That is, after fifty years, a hundred years later, the alien race will come to slaughter our Xia Kingdom after recuperation?"
"People like you don't deserve to be our Xia people!"
"That's it, this son is not worthy of such a villain!"
As we all know, no matter how good it is, it will not be satisfied by everyone, after all, it is not RMB. Where there is praise, there is belittlement, where there are brain-dead fans, where there are little black fans, this is the unchanging truth of all things!
Li Siqi's order to slaughter the island was also acquiesced by Emperor Xia, the southern alien race and the northern desert are not the common people of the Central Plains, and their hearts must be different if they are not my race! If the alien race is not eradicated and eradicated, and after a few years, the alien race will recuperate, and naturally someone will form a large army here to attack and kill the people in the southern border of the Xia Kingdom!
Unify the world, the entire Tianwu Continent is Xia soil, and there is no border crisis anymore, which is also the ultimate goal shared by Li Siqi of the Xia Kingdom and Young Master Yang of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and of course, it is also the ultimate task of the empress system!
……
Three days later, ten miles away from the south gate of the imperial capital of the Xia Kingdom!
Hundreds of people walked towards the city gate, and today is the day of the triumph of the army!
The middle-aged man who led the civil and military officials to stand at the front of the team, wearing the official uniform of the prime minister, was the most powerful person in the dynasty, the prime minister of Zuo and the uncle of the country!
"The Queen Mother has arrived!"
Suddenly, the singer shouted, and saw a woman wearing a purple and gold phoenix crown and a big red phoenix robe walking out surrounded by all the palace maids!
"See the Queen!"
All the ministers saluted one after another, and Zhou Quan whispered to the queen: "The queen is also here!" ”
"Everyone, get even!"
"Thank you, Queen Mother!"
After the ministers got up, Zhou Fangyi looked at Zhou Quan and said softly: "Brother, today is a very important day, and this palace is naturally coming!" ”
Zhou Quan bowed slightly, didn't say anything, and everyone looked towards the south.
After a while, Zhou Quan's calculation was calculated, and he whispered to Wang Zixun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites behind him: "Ready, Lile will be carried up, and the hundred officials will greet each other ten miles away with the prime minister, and in addition, inform the whole city of the news!" ”
Wang Zixun nodded hurriedly: "Obey!" ”
……
Emperor Xia saw the civil and military officials who greeted him from a distance, but he didn't expect that he would go out of the city for ten miles, and besides, all the imperial forest troops in the imperial capital were also brought out!
The queen is wearing a big red phoenix robe, wearing a phoenix crown on her head, and next to her is Zhou Quan, and then there are hundreds of civil and military officials, regardless of the size of the official position, all in this column, wearing official uniforms, with a solemn face, because this is a national war.
According to the etiquette of the Xia Dynasty, when the national war goes out, it must be greeted with national etiquette, and all officials in Beijing, and even the harem concubines, must all be present!
Xu Chu rode a white tiger, took the lead in running to the front of the army, and shouted: "Your Majesty triumphs!" ”
Xu Chu shouted, and the voice came directly two or three miles away!
"Playing music!"
Wang Zixun saw the figure of Xia Huang and others, and hurriedly shouted, and suddenly, after the Royal Forest Army, more than 100 musicians walked out and began to play.
"Concubines, see Your Majesty!"
"Ministers, see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Emperor Xia was wearing golden armor, swept around the crowd, and laughed: "All Aiqing is flat!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The 500,000 Xia army behind Emperor Xia was stunned when he saw the queen leading hundreds of civil and military officials to greet him in person, but he thought that this was His Majesty's personal expedition, and he should have this treatment!
"Long live Great Xia!"
"Long live my emperor!"
shouted one after another, a touch of tenderness flashed in the queen's eyes, and she said loudly: "Remove your armor!" ”
After speaking, Zhou Fangyi personally unloaded the battle armor for Emperor Xia, then glanced around, suddenly looked stunned, and asked softly, "What about Qi'er?" ”
Li Siqi walked from behind Emperor Xia with a smile and said softly: "I've seen the queen mother!" ”
When Zhou Fangyi saw her most beloved daughter, she suddenly felt a pain in her heart, and regardless of the occasion at this time, Zhou Fangyi hugged her directly and cried softly!
"Congratulations on the triumph of Her Royal Highness!"
"Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager is a heroine among women, and women are not allowed to shave their eyebrows!"
"Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager has laid immortal feats for my Great Xia!"
In the sound of congratulations, Li Siqi also carried out self-reflection. In this national war, the alien race was wiped out, and 800,000 people died in the war, but she did not regret it, if she could exchange the blood of these 800,000 people for eternal peace in the southern border of Great Xia, she would rather bear this black cauldron and bear this infamy through the ages!
