Chapter 30: Imperial Ambition
The grand surrender ceremony was carried out slowly in the camp of Zezhou. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The carefully selected soldiers, dressed in brand-new black and red uniforms and armed with Zhangba fine iron spears, lined up neatly, extending from the gate of the barracks all the way to the front of the surrender platform built in the middle of the barracks.
The horn of the bull in the army, the huge whining sound emitted, gradually spread to all directions in circles.
Zhao Lao Er on the descending platform was wearing a black crown dress at this moment, carrying the sword of the Son of Heaven at his waist, and his tall figure stood in the middle of the platform, with a solemn and solemn expression.
At this moment, Li Shoujie, who was dressed in a green robe, held a sandalwood black box with both hands, and his face was slightly fair, and with the eyes of everyone, he slowly walked towards the surrender platform along the humanity composed of soldiers.
Wen who was standing in the distance of the barracks was like a bystander at this moment, looking at the two people on the surrender platform with a strange expression.
Tan Fengyi, who was standing next to Wen, saw that his expression was different, so she asked softly, "Things have changed?" ”
Wen smiled slightly and said, "This scene reminds me of Jing Ke's assassination of King Qin." You said that if Li Shoujie suddenly pulled out a fish intestine short sword from the wooden box and suddenly attacked your senior brother, would he be able to succeed? ”
Seeing and hearing the difference, Tan Fengyi originally thought that he had found something wrong there, but it turned out that he was alone there with hysteria. Angrily, he glanced at it with his beautiful eyes and said: "Let's not talk about the lessons of the past, since Jing Ke assassinated King Qin, all the belongings close to the emperor must be inspected. The wooden box had been inspected at least eight times, and each time it was carried out by a different person, by a different department, and it was too difficult to buy off all the people at the same time and hide dangerous things.
Besides, my senior brother's martial arts are strong, you think he is Qin Yingzheng's useless emperor like a waste. ”
The great Qin Shi Huang, the ancestor of the unification of China, in Tan Fengyi's eyes, was a waste, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "I have heard such a peerless saying, the power of the emperor is only ten steps away, within a thousand miles." But your senior brother is an exception, he is about to cultivate into a vajra gourd baby. ”
"What King Kong gourd baby?" Tan Fengyi frowned slightly. She could always hear some very fresh words from Wen Wen's mouth, which seemed to prove that his hometown was indeed not in the Great Song Dynasty.
"Golden bell jar, iron cloth shirt, another name for this horizontal practice of kung fu." Wen explained casually. If you don't explain it that way, then you have to start with the story of the seven milk babies vs. the snake spirit, obviously now is not the time.
"In horizontal kung fu, there is no such thing as a golden bell jar or an iron cloth shirt, where do you hear this?" Tan Fengyi wondered.
Wen didn't explain, just sighed slightly: "It's a pity! Pity. ”
"You seem to be very sorry?" Hearing that the answer was not asked, Tan Fengyi did not ask any questions, and besides, she was very used to talking to Wen, talking to him, this kind of jumping to change the topic was too common.
"If you can't see the big drama on the stage, there will be no high tide, and as an audience, of course, I don't feel like it's worth the ticket price." Wen shook his head slightly.
"You could have been personally involved." Tan Fengyi said. As the commander of the three armies commanding the operation this time, he was supposed to participate in the surrender ceremony, but Wen gave up the most glorious moment as a military general.
Wen shook his head vigorously and said: "That's not good, if Li Shoujie wants to avenge his father and give me a Jing Ke to assassinate King Qin, then I will die, I don't have your senior brother's force value, if I am stabbed to death, it will be too wrong."
Although it is said that if you die under the sword of fish intestines, it will be praised through the ages, but as a model of failure, it is still not worth passing on through the ages. ”
"If you change your mind at any time, you can tell me that I can fulfill you." Tan Fengyi said with a smile in her beautiful eyes.
Wen wondered, "What do you mean?" ”
The seven-inch Qingfeng dagger suddenly flashed in Tan Fengyi's jade hand, and the sword pointed and said: "This is the fish intestine sword, if you want to die under this sword, of course I can fulfill you." ”
Looking at this inconspicuous short dagger, he was surprised and said, "I always thought this was an ordinary dagger." ”
"Ordinary? Also daggers? This is one of the five swords handed down by the master Ou Yezi. Tan Fengyi said with a dissatisfied expression.
Hearing Tan Fengyi's explanation, Wen Wen's eyes lit up, and he looked at the fish intestine sword in Tan Fengyi's hand with an unbelievable look on his face, and exclaimed, "This should be worth a lot of money, right!?" ”
Seeing the shocked look on Wen's face, Tan Fengyi, who was still a little proud in her heart, heard Wen say this, her face suddenly turned cold, and she snorted angrily: "You are a vulgar thing." ”
“........”
The process of surrender does not stop because of a person's dissatisfaction.
At this moment, Li Shoujie was already kneeling on the surrender platform, and took out the tiger talisman seals and scarves of the soldiers of the three armies and the household registration books of the people one by one from the wooden box and handed them to Zhao Lao Er, and swore an oath to be a minister.
After the ceremony was completed, Zhao Lao Er pulled out the sword of the Son of Heaven from his waist, pointed the sword at the sky, and loudly announced that the position of the Son of Heaven was awarded to the sky.
The officers and men of the three armies slashed at the sky and shouted in unison.
Seeing that there was no legendary passionate, miserable and sad scene, Wen left quietly with a slightly disappointed look.
After the ceremony, the grand dinner began in the afterglow of the setting sun.
As the commander of the three armed forces, it is inappropriate not to participate at this time.
When you welcome the scenery, no one wants to share it with others. But when showing off the scenery, who doesn't want everyone to know their great achievements, as the emperor, Zhao Lao Er is naturally no exception.
During the banquet, Zhao Lao Er raised his glass to Wen with a slightly drunken sense of wine and said: "Wen Qing, now that the war in Jinzhou has subsided, if our army carries the power of a great victory, the gods and thunder help each other on the side, and go north to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, the shame caused by Emperor Shi Jingjiao of Yixue'er for our nation."
Wen Qing's family, what do you think? ”
The emperor's heart is always broad-minded, eating from the bowl, looking at the pot, and thinking about other people's plates by the way, this is the normal state of an emperor.
Although with the help of gunpowder, in order to quickly extinguish Li Yun's rebellion and calm down the various forces in the country, Zhao Lao Er decided to swallow the evil breath in his heart and surrender the rest of Li Yun after weighing the pros and cons. Otherwise, Zhao Lao Er would have been persuaded to accept the proposal of surrender so easily by Wen on the premise that the dynasty had an absolute advantage.
This has just accepted the rest of Li Yun's troops, and before he straightened out, reorganized, and digested Li Yun's forces, he has already begun to think about the sixteen states of Yanyun that are still under the control of the Liao State.
Is it because Jinju is adjacent to the sixteen states of Yanyun, so they want to attack?
Is war a matter of distance rather than strength?
This damn Zhao Lao Er wouldn't think that with gunpowder, he could be invincible in the world.
Today's Liao State, although there are often rebellions to seize power in the country, and even within a year, there have been three battles for imperial power, but it is still at the peak of the most powerful national strength.
At present, the Great Song Dynasty is in a land of four wars, with the Southern Tang Dynasty and Wuyue in the southeast, Houshu and Dali in the southwest, the Southern Han and Yueding in the south, the Liao Kingdom and the Northern Han Dynasty in the north, and the Uighurs and Tubo in the west.
Everyone is eyeing the fat piece of Da Song.
To extract teeth from the hands of the Liao State, which is now at the peak of its national strength, and take the sixteen states of Yanyun is simply a fool's dream. Once a war with the Liao State starts, it will definitely fall into a state of confrontation for a long time, and these neighbors around them, they will not carry forward the spirit of good-neighborliness and friendship that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.
What they extend will definitely not be a helping hand, but only a criminal hand that takes advantage of the fire to rob.
Damn Zhao Lao Er, you still honestly go and set up a pile sealing warehouse, and prepare to buy Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures from Liao. Thinking of this, Wen raised his glass and said, "Your Majesty is proud, drink it full." ”
Drunk Zhao Lao Er first, this moment is the time when Zhao Lao Er is most excited, and persuasion is meaningless. (To be continued.) )
