Chapter 36 Forming a Bond with Master Xu
In the fifth year of Xianqing (660 AD), the sixteenth day of the eleventh month of winter, seven quarters before the hour.
Luoyang to Xuzhou, Luoxu Ancient Post Road, Li Zhi drove the book, and the momentum was huge. It is divided into five parts: guide and guide, car driving and advocacy, and guard troops. Like a huge machine, the guard of honor is familiar with the road and runs in an orderly manner. Security is like Skynet, the legendary Assassin Emperor, absolutely impossible.
The guard of honor at the head of the car, called the guide, dozens of chariots opened the road, riding from the capital, and the magistrates along the way. After that, there were the Qing You team, two teams of heavy armored cavalry, and six teams of ironclad guards, who were responsible for cleaning up the truth. It was followed by 12 guards, each holding a yellow flag, divided into two columns on the left and right.
Behind the 12 guards, there is a professional team: guide car and egret car, Jili drum car and Luanqi car, evil car and Pixuan car, etc. Each car is pulled by four horses, with fourteen drivers and one craftsman with the car. This is the guide of the troops, the elite of the elite, Wu Kang secretly thought that he would not dare to assassinate.
After the guide is the guide, the south ya, twelve guards, divided into twelve rows. Each row is an iron cavalry, and the guards and horses are all armoured, armed with horizontal swords and bows and arrows. This was followed by a military band, with bells and whistles, percussion instruments such as war drums, and wind instruments such as flutes.
Two band conductors, an 800-member band phalanx, playing the breaking array music, general orders, etc. Although it is magnificent, after listening to it for a long time, you will feel tired. Hundreds of miles away, a few tunes, the music turned into noise, torturing Wu Kang's ears.
Behind the band is a formation of flags: various flags, i.e., rectangular drooping flags; The colorful banners, i.e. flags decorated with feathers, represent different meanings; The marching flags of the guards are distinct in color, which can be called covering the sky and the sun.
Behind the military flag array, two divine beast flags: the green dragon flag on the left and the white tiger flag on the right, standing on the chess rook. The standard-bearer has a wide body, a height of six feet, a body full of tendons and meat, and a small white face. Give Wu Kang the feeling that the country's flag raiser represents the country's face.
Zhu Hu from the general, the civil official at any time, the twenty-four royal horses, followed behind the two banners. Heavy cavalry, ironclad infantry, escort them. The royal horses are fat and strong, all of them are purebred BMWs, and they are hunting mounts. The Tang Emperor loved hunting, and Emperor Taizong Li Shimin fell to his death while hunting.
The above-mentioned guide and guide are only the vanguard troops, and about half a mile in the rear are Li Jiu's jade chariots. The scientific name is the big jade, decorated with white jade, and the emperor travels in a special car. The car is remarkable, characterized by being smooth, with a water cup on and no shaking while driving.
By the time of Song Renzong, Yulu was still in service. During the Qing calendar of Renzong, he gathered skilled craftsmen. The jade chariot made by Ran sat and staggered, and the emperor decisively abandoned it. During the Yuanfeng period of Song Shenzong, he built a jade chariot, but before he had time to make offerings, he was dispersed in the court. Therefore, Song Shenzong also used Gaozong Tang Rou.
To Wukang, there is a Mercedes-Benz at home, which was built three hundred years ago. And the latest Mercedes-Benz, compared with the performance of classic cars, there is no scum left, which is a big joke. The designer of the jade wheel, the great painter Yan Liben, really lives up to his name.
The one who controls the jade chariot is the Taifu Siqing, one of the three princes and nine secretaries, and a civil official from the three grades. In front and behind the jade chariot, there are forty drivers, similar to spare drivers; On the left and right sides of the jade chariot, the generals of the Sixteen Guards, dressed in military uniforms, straddle war horses.
In order, the left and right guards, the left and right military guards, the left and right military guards, the left and right Xiao cavalry guards, the left and right tun guards, the left and right leading guards, the left and right Qianniu Mansion, and the left and right prison guards. The Sixteenth Wei General, although the grade is the same, but the status is poor, and the Qianniu Mansion is the second-to-last.
Wu Kang carried a thousand cattle knives, hung a ring head horizontal knife on the left, and a golden barrier knife on the right, wearing a golden battle armor, armed to the teeth. Driving the war horse and guarding the left side of the jade chariot, it is precisely the window position. Li Jiu Meiniang in the car, Qingqing and mine, sprinkled dog food all the way. Is it okay to close the curtains, do we want to be faceless?
If you are not ashamed or impatient, you are too lazy to pay attention to you, and continue to look at you without squinting. The generals before and after, although they all know each other, their friendship is not deep. The best relationship, General Zuo Wuwei, taught his mentor Su Dingfang. The second is Du Junxuan, the general of the Right Wuhou, before leaving Luoyang, he drank with him.
It's funny to say, on the fourth day of the first month of this month, I was feeding my daughter-in-law in the study. Qian Shun suddenly reported that Wu Hou arrested Pinglang for hurting people with a knife. Qian Shun took the waist card and went to Wuhou Wei to mention people, but was politely refused. The meaning is obvious, which onion are you, let the lord come.
This is bureaucracy, and the right Marquis Wuhou agrees to release him, but there are preconditions: Wu Kang needs to come in person, give me enough face, and owe me a personal favor. This is the rule of officialdom, Wu Kang fed his daughter-in-law, took five personal guards, and went to Wuhou Wei to mention people.
The general of Zuo Qianniu Mansion came in person; General Hou Wei of Youwu, personally received, this is also the rule. Du Junxuan was warmly entertained, and the two were in Hou Wei's inner room, drinking and chatting happily. Talk about the wine, talk about it, and don't talk about the topic.
Du Jun is sixty years old, and he is a pioneer in the changes of Xuanwumen. Taizong's descendant, Li Jiu's confidant, and his status is leveraged. Wu Kang held the junior ceremony, his attitude was respectful, and his posture was very low. After a bittersweet memory, talking about the coup d'Γ©tat, he slapped Lao Du's ass and coaxed him to laugh.
The show worked very well, and it became a friend of the New Year, and Lao Du Mei was so happy that he personally sent Wu Kang out. The victim, Lin Pinglang, is already in the team, and he knows it. When I went home for interrogation, I was almost, these two rabbit cubs! Engaging heroes to save beauty and deceiving women's feelings is not a thing.
Kill Zhao Sheng's house, angry hehele, Zhao Sheng and his wife, Zhengqingqing and me. If it continues to develop, the lady will fall in love and will be painful in the future. Wu Kang made a straight face, reprimanded and covered his face, and Zhao Sheng nodded and bowed.
The lady cried, appreciated Zhao Sheng's two slaps, and ran out of the house with her face covered. Wu Kang stopped her, took five gold leaves, and said: The debt owed to your family must be repaid with your head, and the gold leaf is interest. You're covered in patches, you're shy in your pocket, take it and buy a knife, how can you assassinate without a knife?
After a stalemate of ten minutes, the lady snatched the gold and ran away with her skirt. It feels inexplicable, the style of painting is obviously wrong, and the original revenge scene has turned into a romance drama. I have a sense of foreboding, and in the near future, I will be entangled with her.
Peeking ahead, Lao Du was fully armed, driving the jujube red war horse, looking comfortable. The favors owed to him must be repaid, and they can only be repaid slowly. A chuckle sounded in his ears, his eyes turned to the corner of his eye, and when he saw Li Jiumeiniang, she was laughing at this side.
I feel like I can't love it, and I know what they're laughing at. My golden armor shines brightly in the eyes of all dogs, and stands out from the crowd. Mei Niang sat on the right, looking at Kanglang's dress, she would always smile dumbly. Girls with no conscience, boring journeys, make fun of me.
The two whispered, Mei Niang squeezed her eyebrows, Li Jiu turned his head and ordered: "I said Wu Aiqing, your mountain ghost mask, let's take it down." It looks strange and scary, affecting the mood of travel. This is not a battlefield, there are no hidden arrows,"
Wu Kang agreed, took off the mountain ghost mask, and stuffed it into the bag behind his back. Mei Niang laughed out loud and said angrily: "Your Majesty, look, Kang Lang's face is murderous, more terrifying than a mask. The concubine thought it was better to wear a mask. β
Li Jiu pinched his chin, looked up and down carefully, and said: The queen is reasonable. Wu Kang turned a deaf ear, turned his head and did not squint. These two lack of virtue and base their happiness on the suffering of others.
Check the shadows on the ground, about five o'clock in the afternoon. It is still more than 50 miles away from Xuzhou City, and at the current speed, it should not miss the trip. Walking out of most of the road, Li Jiu passed the monarch's order, and the honor guard rested for two quarters of an hour.
The general of the right Qianniufu is responsible for informing the front team. Wu Kang turned his horse's head and informed the rear troops: "The saint has an order, rest in place, and set off on time after two quarters of an hour." Therefore, the guard of honor, acting slowly, within half a quarter of an hour, stopped in turn. β
Those who followed the jade chariot were the eunuchs and palace maids, and those who surrounded the jade chariot were the left and right camps. The so-called left and right camps are the Beiya Forbidden Army, and their names are flying horses. Stationed outside the Xuanwu Gate to protect the safety of the palace, he was the emperor's private soldier. The Sixteen Guards of the Southern Ya are the central army of the country, and the two are different in nature.
The forbidden army wore painted animal shirts, leopard-print leather boots, strong bows in both hands, and quivers on their backs. They are all big men, and the selection is extremely strict, first of all, they are skilled in bows and horses, and secondly, they are infinitely powerful. Carrying five pounds of rice on his shoulders is six hundred catties and walking thirty steps.
Wu Kang secretly thought that they were weak chickens, and if they fought alone, they would easily take their lives. There have been tests, and there are 25 people in the Wu Camp Guards who can meet the standards. Chu Shenke and Qian Shun, Lin Pinglang and Zhao Sheng, can carry five hui rice on their shoulders and walk forty-five steps. He is even more awesome, carrying 700 pounds on his back and walking 50 steps.
Behind the ranks of the forbidden army, thousands of cattle held the phalanx. Left and right Qianniu Mansion, a total of 300 battles, holding peacock fans, small groups and square fans, Huang Jiang's battles, Xuanwu buildings, etc. This was followed by a band, similar to the front, but on a smaller scale, with more than 300 musicians.
Behind the band, there is Li Jiu's special team, all kinds of special cars. Such as the Fang Yuan Xiaocha, Huang Yue Leopard Tail Car, etc., a total of 25 vehicles. Behind the leopard tail car, the left and right guards were guarded by the soldiers, led by the commander of the fold chong. A total of 200 guards, divided into four horizontal rows, armed with halberds and swords and shields, bows and arrows, and crossbows.
At the end of the procession, there is the rearguard unit, which is responsible for the work of the rear. There were four hundred and eighty-eight teams in the front and rear phalanxes, each with thirty guards. All of them are dressed in armor and armed with a variety of weapons, and their outfits are the same color. There are five colors in total, and this cycle alternates to create a spectacular picture.
According to conservative estimates, the entire team has 5,000 people. With such a large pomp, only the emperor can use it, which can be called the largest tour group. Wu Kang scoffed, feeling nothing. Compared to the battle of hundreds of thousands of people on the battlefield, the honor guard pales in comparison.
After passing the order, he returned to the jade chariot and asked Li Jiu for an errand. After untying the waist, count the bag, take out the bamboo leaf zongzi, remove the stitches and feast. The fist-sized zongzi was eaten in four bites, and it only took five minutes to eat eight zongzi.
is dismantling the ninth, hurry up and have a line of sight, follow the past. Mei Niang's face was weird, Li Jiu was dumbfounded, and after a while, she said: "Wu Aiqing's food speed is practiced on the battlefield." This is not a battlefield, and overeating is not good. β
Wu Kang smiled and nodded, slowly tasting the zongzi, feeling uncomfortable all over. The palace people brought pastries, and Mei Niang said softly: "Kang Lang has a lot of rice, eat some pastries." Eating habits, pay attention to the occasion, after all, it is a great general. β
Li Jiu took over: "The queen is right, as a relative of the emperor, you must pay more attention to etiquette. When you arrive in Xuzhou City, change your regular clothes, the golden armor is too dazzling. I want to hunt the Changshe, you and General Su Dingfang, prepare for related matters. β
Wu Kang said that he was taught, and he tasted the pastry, but it was still sweet and greasy. All the pastries were eaten, and the plate was handed to the palace people, searching for memories in their heads. Xuzhou Zhichang Society, so the memory is not bad, it is Weidu District, Xuchang City.
It doesn't seem to be a famous mountain, and the best hunting place should be Ziyun Mountain. It seems that in Xiangcheng County, it is quite famous in later generations. I was too lazy to bother thinking about it, let Su Dingfang take care of it, and follow it myself. For hunting, it means that there is a lack of interest and bullying small animals.
At this moment, the ministers came, a total of five prime ministers: Xu Jingzong and Li Tao, Li Yifu, Ren Yaxiang and Xu Yushi. Liu Xiangdao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Dou Dexuan, the secretary of the Household Department, and Shi Xu Zhilian, the governor of Xu, all looked anxious.
After giving Li Jiu a salute, Xu Zhilian said respectfully: "Your Majesty, twenty miles ahead, there is a temple of women." According to folk legends, women in brocade and red clothes, or dressed in full clothes, or people passing by shandan and lilies, will anger the women and will be hit by thunder and hail. β
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, the ministers were silent, Mei Niang's face suddenly turned cold, and Li Jiu also sank his face. Xu Yushi glanced at Wukang, and said: "The so-called concubine, the female brother is also introduced, on the fifth day of March in the past year, the brother and sister were burned on Mianshan. β
This is adding fuel to the fire, Mei Niang's face is even colder, and Wu Kang is a little embarrassed. I have heard of Jiezhitui, the loyal minister of Jin Wengong, and left a lot of stories. Such as cutting shares and serving the king, the merit is not to be spoken, and the success is retired, etc., which are widely praised by the people.
He made difficulties with the Jin Wen public, created the Spring and Autumn hegemony of the Jin Kingdom, and then retired and lived in seclusion in Mianshan, Shanxi. Duke Wen of Jin asked him to go out of the mountain, but he avoided it, and Duke Wen set fire to him on three sides, intending to force him down the mountain. But the ministers of the DPRK and China, worried that the power would be divided, set fire to the mountain on all sides.
Jie Zitui was burned to death, and his mother and sister died together. Duke Wen of Jin was heartbroken and ordered that on the fifth day of the first month of March, the Jin Kingdom banned fireworks and could only eat cold food, forming a cold food festival. There is indeed a folk legend that if you dress up the temple of the woman, it will attract thunder and hail.
Wu Kang secretly called unlucky, this tourist route was formulated by me personally. is about to enter the city, and if this happens, Li Jiu is going to be mad. Thinking of this, he bowed to the end, and Chen pleaded with him: "The minister did not think it through, and it made a big mistake, please punish Your Majesty." β
Li Jiu snorted decisively and glanced at the ministers. Li Tao stayed out of the matter, Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong were old friends of Wu Kang, and they would not fall into the trap. Liu Xiangdao saluted and began to go online: "The honor guard can't pass by, but General Wu has lost, please Your Majesty." β
Dou Dexuan answered: "Jie Zi pushed the loyal ministers and good looks, was persecuted to death by the traitorous ministers, and the concubine and the daughter accumulated grievances for their brothers, and the grievances condensed in the ancestral hall. All the soldiers and civilians in Xuzhou, all who pass by the ancestral hall, will be clothed simply. The holy car can't be like this, otherwise where is the majesty of the king, please think twice. β
Wu Kang gritted his teeth with hatred, this is feudal superstition, you old antiques. Mei Niang coughed lightly, stared at Xu Yushi, and said in a strange manner: "Kang Lang was born in the military, and he naturally knows the customs of various places. Xu Changshi Xu Zhou is an official, he should know that he and Xu Xianggong are relatives, why did he tell him at this moment? β
There is a cat in this, Wu Kang's mind is racing, and he knows it in an instant. Master Xu Yushi was cheating on me, he had known about the concubine for a long time, but he deliberately pretended not to know. When the matter came to an end, the frame was about to enter the city, so it jumped out to report, and it must have ulterior motives.
Wu Kang was very puzzled, damn old Xutou, I didn't offend you. I have a very good relationship with your son, why do you want to cheat me. The atmosphere became more and more depressing, Li Jiu's face sank like water, glanced at Mei Niang, and began to make peace with the mud: "The route Wuqing is the main candidate, and Xu Xianggong is not in his position, so it is naturally difficult to participate." β
Obviously protective, Mei Niang was noncommittal, Xu Jingzong hurriedly relieved the siege: "Your Majesty, the top priority at the moment is how to solve the problem." For the sake of safety, in order to protect His Majesty's prestige, you cannot travel in simple clothes. At the suggestion of the old minister, the convoy traveled to Linying and entered Xuzhou City in the east. β
Xu Yushi retorted: "There will be many problems if you change the route temporarily. First of all, the people will lose money, and secondly, there will be mistakes, if the holy car is lost, the ministers will die without forgiveness. Xu Changshi once said that according to local customs, the birth of a sacrifice to the temple of the concubine can reduce resentment. β
Sure enough, there is a back hand, Wu Kang suddenly felt bad, and the old guy wanted to make it bad. Mei Niang's face was even colder, and Li Yifu retorted: "Prime Minister Xu's public statement is absurd, and the sacrifice is for the peace of heaven and is despised by the emperor." What is the intention of the saint to be unrighteous? β
Xu Yushi's face was cold, and he said in a strange manner: "Li Xiang's words are serious, and this official has no such intentions. Xuzhou sacrificed to the temple of the concubine, with a man with heavy yang energy, wearing a thin cloth clothes, worshipping outside the ancestral hall. The sacrificial body is inserted with bird feathers, and the head is in front of the ancestral hall, seven seven and forty-nine times, which can temporarily resolve grievances. β
Wu Kang was focused by the gaze, gritting his teeth with hatred, he was really cheating me. The old fox's extraneous meaning, Lao Tzu's conquest of the battlefield, the yang energy is naturally extremely heavy. And I am the initiator of this farce, and I will definitely be blackened.
Everyone knows that on such a cold day, wearing thin clothes, you have to freeze and get sick. The body is strong and healthy, and it is absolutely unbearable. The most important thing is that Wang Bahao is uncomfortable, full of feathers, and must have become a laughing stock.
If this is really practiced, I am afraid that after Wukang, in front of the civil and military officials, he will not be able to raise his head at all. Mei Niang forcibly suppressed her anger, looked at Li Jiu pitifully, and said with a smile: "This is nonsense, the concubine thinks that it is a good strategy to take a detour." β
Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu immediately echoed the voice; Li Tao peeked at Wu Kang and chose to stay out of the matter; Xu Yushi and others naturally resolutely oppose it, and they are on the line again. Li Jiu hesitated, and after a long time, he looked this way.
Wu Kang secretly screamed that it was not good, and he wanted to be disgusting. The brain turned quickly, and it only took ten seconds to think of a bad idea. Saluted respectfully again, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty's honor guard travels, thousands of riders and followers, Feng Bo cleans the dust for it, and the rain master comes to sprinkle the road, why are the girls afraid?" β
The words are loud, with a fearless look, and the style of a husband should be shown. Xu Jingzong immediately seconded: "Your Majesty's Ninety-Five Honor, and even more the pride of the sky, the gods of the Wind and Rain Division, will definitely do their best to help." The old minister secretly thought that His Majesty's heavenly might could suppress the resentment of the concubine. β
Li Yifu immediately seconded the proposal and presented it as a hot sycophant. Li Tao smiled and said nothing, and Xu Yushi and the others looked at each other and closed their mouths. Mei Niang saw the stitches, and gently persuaded you, the gods bless Your Majesty, we are not afraid of concubines.
Li Jiu's face was very good, and he said quite heroically: "Zhongqing's words are reasonable, I am the son of heaven, why are you afraid of concubines?" The order went down, and after a quarter of an hour, the team went straight to Xuzhou. I want to see, Jie Zitui's daughter, dare to rain and snow! β
These words were domineering, and everyone was also infected, and they shouted His Majesty Shengming. The problem was successfully solved, Wu Kang glanced at Master Xu Yu, and the corners of his mouth pulled a smirk. Our two Liangzi has already been concluded, and Nai Weng will take revenge, waiting for revenge...
