As the person in charge of the security of the Son of Heaven's marriage, Han Gang's responsibility is far heavier than Zhang Dian as a great envoy or Huang Shang as the envoy of Qiao Dao.

But as the commander-in-chief of the soldiers and horses in the Jingshi, Han Gang only had to stay in the imperial city.

As a coach, the first task that must be completed is to let his generals know where they are and where to ask for instructions when it is critical.

There is no better place to be a command center than the Imperial City.

And no matter what turmoil occurs in the city, it is always the most convenient to start from the imperial city.

Wang Sunchen personally led the cavalry infantry of the Shenji Battalion under the command of three commanders to guard the Xuande Gate, while the left and right gates, including the Donghua Gate, Xihua Gate, Tianbo Gate, and Chenhui Gate on both sides of the imperial city, all arranged for elite cavalry to be on standby.

The east and west corner towers of the imperial city have long been transformed into forts, and even cannonballs and gunpowder have been sent to the gun emplacements inside.

According to the latest military regulations, this time the alert level is the highest level.

Huang Shang is the bridge road envoy, and his task is to ensure traffic safety and prevent the Son of Heaven's car from being delayed due to various accidents or man-made accidents.

From the imperial city in the Daqing Palace Square on the jade chariot, around the support of officials, generals, soldiers, up to more than 6,000 people, vehicles, horses are also thousands, although not as good as the Son of Heaven to go out on patrol, to the suburbs of Qingcheng scale, but the emperor wedding, tens of thousands of spectators, on both sides of the road, set up a case to burn incense, worship people do not know how many, if the bridge and the don't hand over the envoy can not grasp it well, the same will cause a big mess - the Beijing division is a million soldiers and civilians.

If it is completed well, it will be equivalent to paving a solid cement pavement for the thoroughfare leading to the two provinces for Huang Shang, and under the pavement, there is also a layer of barbed wire for reinforcement: at present, only a few outer forts that have just been repaired, and the avenues for heavy artillery operations inside will be paved like this - and only real - even for the marriage of the Son of Heaven, the renovated Royal Street is not so luxurious.

However, speaking of luxury, this marriage of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty can indeed be described as poor and extravagant.

The Empress Dowager had clearly instructed before the wedding that the emperor's wedding, Neku must do his best. However, the reward and amnesty after marriage do not have to be in the name of the emperor. Naturally, the two governments are in favor of this.

Not to mention that the trees in the palace are full of silk flowers-the reason why the grass and trees in the capital are not tied is only because of the fear of Sui Yangzhi's ridicule, not because of the unwillingness to pay this part of the expenditure - from the Xuande Gate to Wang Anshi's mansion, on both sides of the road more than two miles long, all of them are made of high-quality Shu brocade to avoid the onlookers from interfering with the ceremony of welcoming the people.

And the same Shu brocade screen also appeared on both sides of the royal street from Xuande Gate to Taimiao and from Xuande Gate to Zhuque Gate.

If measured by the selling price on the market, the Shu brocade as a screen has been worth nearly two million yuan, when it comes to luxury, how can the generation of Shi Chong Wang Kai be compared with the Great Song Emperor, who is rich in thousands of miles?

And the expenditure of this Shu brocade screen is only a small part of the cost of the wedding.

The important roads inside and outside the Kyoto Division have been renovated for this purpose, and more importantly, the sewers in the Kyoto Division have been thoroughly cleaned and repaired to avoid the danger of flooding the roads and preventing cars and horses from moving forward in case of heavy rains on the wedding day.

In the palace, the palace pavilion has also carried out a large-scale renovation, Funing, Kunning, Cishou, Shengrui and several other places have the main palace, at the same time, the palace pavilion after the first emperor and concubines moved to the palace, as well as the palace in the palace, more importantly, the front Daqing, Wende, Jiying halls, have taken this opportunity, carried out a large or small renovation. From painting the walls to replacing the beams and columns, all in a matter of months.

And the Tianwang Hall of Kaibao Temple, which Han Gang just visited, can actually be regarded as part of the emperor's wedding. However, the expenses were covered by donations from the temple's benevolent faith.

In order to make the cannons at the wedding louder, the ordnance superintendent also made a new batch of cannons, and selected the best twenty of them.

There are also military robes of the various armies in Beijing, which also have to be recreated, and the new military robes represent the image of the soldiers of the Beijing camp and the face of the imperial court. and the weapons in their hands, which also represent the face of the imperial court, so they are all new products from the ordnance superintendent.

"Speaking of which, it's just an opportunity to spend money." Zeng Xiaokuan secretly found a chance to rest, he was not like Han Gang who could take precautions and lay the groundwork first, but not more than Zhang Dian and others, "I have done things that I was reluctant to spend before, and now I have done it all in one go." ”

Han Gang said: "Isn't it a big festival and a big gift, isn't it supposed to spend money like this?" If it weren't for the lack of time, I really wanted to reorganize the streets and waterways of Kaifeng City. ”

The experience of later generations tells us that any celebration is a great opportunity to change the appearance of the city, and if it can be grasped, it can raise the level of urban construction of the city to a great level.

In the case of Kaifeng Prefecture, it is the most prosperous city in the world, and it should also be the most populous city in the world.

It's just that in Han Gang's view, such a level of urban construction can't catch up with future development. Under the guidance of Han Gang, the planning of the new outer city has reserved enough space for the future, but the old city of Kaifeng, the land within the fifty-mile city wall, has not left a gap for future development.

If the emperor marries once a year, there will be twenty years, and almost all the old cities and new towns of Kaifeng will be renovated.

It's a pity that such a wedding, even if you are the Son of Heaven, only once in your life - the continuation of the string is definitely not qualified to let the entire court run for it, just like after the Ci Shengguang offered Cao, when she was canonized, she was the edict of the academy, attached to the Chinese book, and made a golden book. Where is the glory of the Son of Heaven?

Han Gang is not a pity, after all, this emperor's wedding is the source of the chaos in Beijing. If he came here once a year, he might be fine, but the people below would go crazy.

After sending Zeng Xiaokuan away, Han Gang received a report on the preliminary trial of a rebellion case.

The protagonist of the report is a talent who has not been ranked in the Beijing Division for many years, and the reason why he is not a lifter is that he has been tested for many years and has not yet broken through a lift. Therefore, I have the heart of never meeting talents, and I am resentful about it.

This time the Son of Heaven got married, which he regarded as an opportunity to set things right, and wanted to save the Son of Heaven and find a shortcut to heaven for himself.

However, his conspiracy is really no different from a child's play, there are no secrecy measures, and there is no preparation for escape, he is completely covered with his head, self-righteous preparation, and then he wants to save the emperor, defeat the traitorous ministers, and think that as long as he raises his arms, he can gather from the servants and unite countless loyal ministers and filial sons.

In the end, he was first sued by his brother-in-law, and then led by the Li Zheng and the postman of that fang, and the whole city of inspectors rushed to his house to arrest this old Xiucai.

From beginning to end, the whole thing can be said to be a fuss, after all, this Xiucai has no preparations, as long as Li Zheng comes to the door, he can be tied up and sent to the yamen.

Xiucai rebelled, and it didn't work out for ten years, and I believe it.

Han Gang dropped the dossier. Judging from the confessions that have been obtained, there is nothing to be investigated. Just like several cases of the same type that have been solved before, the nature is very strict and the essence is very nonsense.

Including this old Xiucai, there are a total of four cases of rebellion cracked, excluding the family members who were implicated, and there are a total of eighteen main and accomplices. If they are punished according to the law, most of their fate will be a trip to the vegetable market.

Neither from the scholar family, nor surnamed Zhao, of course, was not qualified to discuss relatives and nobles, and at the same time, it was impossible to only be exiled or get a bloodless death sentence.

A dramatic beginning, a comedic process, and then a tragic ending.

But Han Gang is not sure that all the rebellion cases this time will be like this. Not all stupid people in the world, there are many who want to rebel, but there are very few who can rebel, and the most likely ones are the people of the current emperor.

Fortunately, in the clan, Han Gang also has enough eyeliner.

"I'm tired of Tan Guogong."

Han Gang got up and saluted the old man opposite.

The old man was so frightened that he hurriedly turned to the side, not daring to accept the prime minister's full salute, and hurriedly returned the salute solemnly.

"Tan Guogong doesn't have to be like this."

From the time of the opening of the two major leagues of Keju and horse racing, Zhao Shijiang, the Duke of Tanguo, as a leading figure in the clan, has always been a supporter of Hangang's policy.

His unwavering support for Han Gang has allowed him to profit tremendously over the years.

Zhao Shijiang's current identity is no longer the same, especially the knighthood, from the county marquis to the county duke, and from the county duke to the national duke, the speed of progress, in the past, only the people in the Pu Wangfu had this qualification.

And rightfully so.

If the speculators who are bent on taking refuge in the political hall cannot get the most lucrative returns, then how can they attract more people to their own future and attach themselves to the political hall?

And this is not the biggest reward for him, now that the Son of Heaven is about to get married, this reward is already about to surface. countertop.

"Thank you Tan Guogong for your report," before the emperor got married, Han Gang didn't think about the reward, "otherwise it will really cause some chaos for them." I don't care about the ministers, but I can't explain it in front of the Queen Mother. ”

Zhao Shijiang said: "Those few crazy people are really a shame for the clan, and they actually want to burn Tokyo City. The lives of millions of soldiers and civilians are at stake, how dare Zhao Shijiang not report to the imperial court immediately? ”

"I still want to thank Tan Guogong for the report," Han Gang nodded, and shook his head again, "Once so many families have been cracked in tandem of rebellion, the emperor's side can rest assured." ”

Zhao Shijiang nodded cooperatively, "I must be able to rest assured." ”

The two didn't mention what the so-called peace of mind means.
