44. Greet with the crying temple
The next day, on the morning of October 18, the weather was clear and the wind was light.
Zheng Wen was dressed in black armor, wearing the sword of the Son of Heaven at his waist, riding on a docile white horse, and the minister of civil and military affairs in Beijing was standing thirty miles away from Yanjing City, waiting for the triumph of the Shanhaiguan army.
This is a place called Triumph Pavilion, there is only one quaint pavilion, there are three big characters of "Triumph Pavilion" on it, the land is flat and open, it is the Great Qian Dynasty Court specially set up for the army that triumphantly returned, it has a history of more than 300 years, it is still set up by Emperor Taizu, and it can accommodate 300,000 troops at the same time.
This place has long been under martial law by the Yulin Army, Zheng Wen rode on a horse, looked at the direction of Shanhaiguan, saw a large cloud of dust raised from a distance, and saw a huge black flag, only to see a big "Wu" character on it, and then a team of knights in black armor, closer, Zheng Wen finally saw the whole picture, tens of thousands of cavalry are roaring towards Zheng Wen.
In the distance, the sound of horses trampling the ground was heard, and the "boom" stimulated people's eardrums, which lifted people's spirits, and also cheered up the ministers who were already a little sluggish, obviously they also knew that the triumphant army was coming.
After a while, tens of thousands of cavalrymen dressed in black armor stopped at a distance of two or three zhang from Zheng Wen, and the head was Wu Yong, the Duke of Liao, who saw him in black clothes and black armor, his hair and beard were a little gray, but his face was full of red light, and he was obviously in excellent spirits!
I saw the horsemen dismount quickly, and then under the leadership of Wu Yong, they all knelt on one knee and shouted in unison, "Ministers see Your Majesty!" ”
For a while, Zheng Wen, who was riding on a horse, looked at it, and tens of thousands of people saluted Zheng Wen together, which was really spectacular, and Zheng Wen's heart couldn't help but rise with pride!
In this life I will conquer the world!
But Zheng Wen was not slow to react, so he quickly dismounted, limped step by step towards Wu Yong, walked in front of Wu Yong, and only then helped him up with both hands, and then laughed and said: "You are all my warriors, get up!" ”
Only then did he take Wu Yong's hand again, and said again: "Old General Wu has worked hard!" Come, I will give you a drink! ”
At this time, a warrior held a tray and knelt on one knee in front of Zheng Wen, there were two bottles of good wine on the tray, Zheng Wen picked up a glass, picked up a bottle with his own hands and handed it to Wu Yong with his own hands, only then picked up another bottle, saluted Wu Yong with both hands, and said: "Old general, I respect you, and I also respect the soldiers who returned triumphantly!" After saying that, he drank it all.
Wu Yong's eyes suddenly turned red, and he drank it all at the same time!
This is the highest etiquette of the Son of Heaven to the soldiers who returned triumphantly, and the Son of Heaven personally led hundreds of civil and military officials out of Beijing for 30 miles to greet him, and personally toasted in front of the soldiers and the ministers of civil and military affairs, which is the greatest respect for their soldiers!
Wu Yong was immediately moved, and tens of thousands of cavalrymen were also moved, only to see their faces excited, and they knelt on one knee in unison, shouting in unison, "Long live Your Majesty, ten thousand years!" ”
Zheng Wen smiled and said loudly: "The soldiers have worked hard, no need to be polite, please get up quickly!" ”
They shouted again, "Long live Your Majesty, ten thousand years of great work!" ”
"Long live Your Majesty, ten thousand years of great work!"
Only then did they all stand up.
At this time, Wu Yongcai knelt down on one knee in front of Zheng Wen again, raised a black jade tiger talisman with both hands high, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister Wu Yong was appointed as a general and led an army of 200,000 troops to Shanhaiguan, and now that he has returned, he should return the tiger talisman, please take it back!" ”
Zheng Wen took the black jade tiger talisman with both hands before pinning it to his waist.
At this time, Wu Yong raised the Son of Heaven Sword granted to him by Zheng Wen again, and then spoke: "Please take it back Your Majesty!" ”
Zheng Wen took the sword with both hands, put the sword in Wu Yong's hand, and then said: "The old general is my minister of humerus and the loyal minister of Daqian, I will give you this sword!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust!" Wu Yong's eyes were red and he said again, obviously moved again.
Zheng Wen's gift of this harvest obviously took back the power represented by the Sword of the Son of Heaven, but it also gave glory to Wu Yong!
Wu Yong also deeply understood the glory of holding the Sword of the Son of Heaven, so he was deeply moved.
Zheng Wen personally helped Wu Yong up with both hands, pulled Wu Yong's people, and then said: "The old general is suffering, come, accompany me to review the tiger warriors of my great cadres on the expedition!" ”
"No!"
Zheng Wen stepped on his BMW again, and only then, surrounded by Wu Yong and others, rode a horse and began to review the 100,000 troops who had returned triumphantly.
And at this time, these armies had already finished arraising, only to see a large area of black pressure, all dressed in black clothes and black armor, each wearing weapons, lined up in rows, neatly arranged, standing with their chests upright, silent, looming with a murderous aura!
Zheng Wen saw it and was very satisfied, this is the elite of Daqian, the warrior of Daqian!
Zheng Wen rode a horse, surrounded by Wu Yong and other generals and warriors, and rode past these armies one by one, reviewing them one by one, and finally returned to the middle and stood on the horse's feet.
Zheng Wen rode on a horse, facing these soldiers, calmed down the agitated mood in his heart, and then said loudly: "Soldiers of Daqian, you are warriors of Daqian, you have worked hard!" ”
The 100,000 standing troops shouted in unison: "Long live Your Majesty, ten thousand years!" ”
"Long live Your Majesty, ten thousand years of great work!"
"Long live Your Majesty, ten thousand years of great work!"
Zheng Wen rode on his horse and raised his right hand to signal them to stop, and they stopped!
Then he spoke loudly: "You are all warriors of Daqian, I have reviewed you, and I am very satisfied!" ”
"And you are all meritorious heroes, and I won't say anything about it. All your soldiers who go out this time, whether meritorious or not, I will give twenty taels of silver for spears. Fifty taels of silver for the disabled and wounded, five acres of fertile land, and another errand for them. Whoever dies in battle shall have a hundred taels of silver and ten acres of fertile land. Of course, merit is given separately. Soldiers, rejoice! ”
When the soldiers standing heard this, they were immediately excited, their faces turned red, they knelt on one knee in unison, and shouted in unison: "Long live Your Majesty, ten thousand years!" ”
"Long live Your Majesty, ten thousand years of great work!"
"Long live Your Majesty, ten thousand years of great work!"
The sound shook the heavens and the earth, reaching to the sky!
Zheng Wen rode on a horse, watched all this, laughed, drew his sword, and pointed straight at the sky.
And the soldiers who knelt on one knee also stood up in unison, picked up their weapons, and pointed straight at the sky in unison!
They shouted in unison: "Long live Your Majesty, ten thousand years!" ”
"Long live Your Majesty, ten thousand years of great work!"
"Long live Your Majesty, ten thousand years of great work!"
"Back to Beijing!" Zheng Wen spoke loudly again, inserting the sword back into its scabbard.
After speaking, Zheng Wen rode a horse, surrounded by everyone, and headed towards Yanjing City.
……
And although Zheng Wen spent a lot of money this time, he gained the heart of the army!
At this time, Zheng Wen was still very excited, but he couldn't get excited immediately, because something happened in the capital at this time that gave Zheng Wen a lot of headaches!
At this time in Yanjing City, Zheng Jiao, the king of Tang, and Zheng Tong, the king of Zhou, together with the people of the second mansion, broke into the temple of Emperor Taizu of Daqian, and came to a vigorous "crying temple" activity!
Daqian inherited the Western Han system, and all outstanding emperors would be called temples and temples after their deaths. In the more than 300 years since the founding of the country, only five of the more than 20 emperors have temple names, namely "Emperor Taizu", "Emperor Taizong", "Emperor Gaozong", "Emperor Xuanzong", "Emperor Sejong", and the others only have nicknames!
And this time, these two people broke into the temple of Emperor Taizu to cry in the temple, obviously because they were dissatisfied with the "Imperial Tomb Case" on the surface, but in fact, they were naked Zheng Wen was dissatisfied, of course, what was dissatisfied, that is, the benevolent and the wise will see the wise!
When Zheng Wen rode into Yanjing City, he was stopped by Zheng Yi and a brocade guard.
Zheng Yi knelt in front of Zheng Wen's horse and said anxiously to Zheng Wen: "Your Majesty, it's not good! Zheng Jiao, the king of Tang, and Zheng Tong, the king of Zhou, took advantage of His Majesty's departure from Beijing to break into the temple of Emperor Taizu to cry the temple, and they were dissatisfied with the case of the 'Emperor's Tomb'......"
Zheng Wen, who was riding on the horse, heard this, his face was cloudy, but his heart was furious, "These two dog things", this is a naked slap on his face Zheng Wen!
The case of the emperor's tomb itself is disgraceful, and the incident of the Crying Temple has cast a shadow on this matter.
The two of them were forcing Zheng Wen, and in this case of the Emperor's Tomb, Zheng Wen could not punish the two of them heavily. punishing the two of them is to tell the world nakedly that this is Zheng Wen retaliating, because the two of them dare to "cry the temple" is to say that the case of the emperor's tomb was not done by the two of them.
And Zheng Wen originally wanted to drag the Imperial Tomb case to share some pressure for Ma Yuan and the follow-up case, obviously he miscalculated, no one can sit still, and the two of them seized the time when Zheng Wen was not in Beijing, and came to such a vigorous drama.
Let Zheng Wen sit on the wax, he didn't know what to do for a while?
But obviously, Zheng Wen can't ignore this matter, he has to stop this matter, and as for the follow-up things, he can only do it later!
Therefore, Zheng Wen rode on the horse and said "dodge", and when Zheng flashed to the side, Zheng Wen grabbed the horsewhip and slapped the horse's buttocks, the horse suddenly felt pain and jumped forward, Zheng Wen rode the horse towards the Taimiao and rushed away, and the other knights on horseback hurriedly followed.
When Zheng Wen took the horsewhip and walked into the temple with a limp, he saw Zheng Tong and Zheng Jiao kneeling on the ground, still saying some words in their mouths, but because they were too small, Zheng Wen didn't hear clearly, but it was obviously not a good word, and Zheng Zhao, the king of Song, stood aside.
When Zheng Wen saw the two of them like this, he was so angry that he walked forward quickly with a limp, raised the horsewhip in his hand, and indiscriminately whipped the two of them with a horsewhip!
Suddenly, the two kneeling people jumped up in pain, and shouted "wow" in their mouths, and Zheng Zhao, who was standing next to him, was stunned and at a loss.
Zheng Wen pointed at the two with a horsewhip, and asked sharply, "What's wrong?" I thought that if I was not in the capital, you would be able to turn against the sky! ”
After speaking, he raised the horsewhip and whipped the two of them fiercely, driving them out of the Taimiao, and Zheng Wen stopped!
