Chapter 599: Fangla Uprising (2)
Zhu Mian has been demoted to Hangzhou for more than half a year, and not only is it difficult for his killer to infiltrate Bianjing for most of the year, but even all the news about himself has been completely blocked by Wu Zhi. "Words * love * first * hair
Up and down Bianjing, inside and outside the palace, no one mentioned the name Zhu Mian anymore.
The ancients often said that the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and the ancients had great wisdom. The friendship that is as light as water can stand the test of time and distance the most, even if it is thousands of miles apart, even if it is many years later, after meeting, it is still the kind of frank and unrestrained gentleman's friendship at the beginning.
And the more intimate the friendship, after the distance barrier, the passage of time, and the difference in circles, the more people will be at a loss, so as to gradually forget.
Zhao Ji is like this to Zhu Mian.
At the beginning, Zhao Ji still talked about Zhu Mian from time to time, and then it became less and less, until now he has basically forgotten Zhu Mian.
Ordinary people don't forget their good friends so quickly, but Zhao Ji is different, he is the emperor, he has many friends he likes by his side, and there are countless interesting people who want to be friends with him every day. His life was full of colorful pleasures, and a so-called friend who could no longer play with him was naturally quickly forgotten by him.
It can be said that the boat of friendship will capsize.
…………
Double Ninth Festival in September.
A few days ago, the imperial court finally determined the date for marching into Yanyun, which was in mid-September. Not long after the transfer of the Western Army out of Beijing, the Qingzhou Army on Wu Song's side had already received an order to assemble.
Today, Zhao Ji took advantage of the royal chariot and led hundreds of officials out of the palace and went to the imperial mausoleum in the western suburbs to worship the ancestors and worship the sky!
The sacrificial procession is not grand, the five thousand freshly dressed and angry horses of the royal forest army opened the way, the princes and ministers, the royal relatives and relatives, all the princes are wearing costumes to accompany Zhao Ji left and right, and there is also the royal music team blowing the sheng flute suona, beating the gong and skin drums, a hustle and bustle.
Out of the palace is the royal street of Bianjing, the people on both sides of the ceremony are densely packed, men and women, old and young, everyone stands on tiptoe and expects to see the demeanor of the official family of the dynasty.
Zhao Ji rode on the jade chariot dedicated to the sacrifice of the Son of Heaven. It is a wooden structure, which is mainly divided into a chariot seat, a chariot pavilion and a disc, and the main color is azure decoration.
This kind of jade chariot is equivalent to the ancient convertible cart, the chariot cover is nearly one meter high, the chariot disc is a golden yellow dome, inlaid with four jade round plates, because the prominent part is decorated with jade, it is called the jade chariot. The disc is hung with a gold pendulum cloud, and a three-layer gold cloud plate is pasted around it. The curtain is made of three layers of green satin, each layer embroidered with golden clouds and dragon feathers. Four gold and blue satin ties are tied to the wheel. The four pillars are painted with golden cloud dragons. Beaded curtains on the doors, three on each side. The throne of the cloud dragon is surrounded by a vermilion fence, which is painted with gold and color, and there is a tapestry around the column. Each wheel has eighteen spokes, decorated with gold fretwork. There are two axles in front, and the two ends are decorated with the head and tail of the golden dragon respectively. There are 12 green satin Taichang flags on the back tree, and the flag is embroidered with the sun and moon five stars and 28 stars respectively, and there are colorful tassels hanging down under it.
So although the people of Bianjing can often see Zhao Ji going out, the jade chariot is covered by tassels, so the people can't see Zhao Ji's appearance clearly, and every time their eyes are bloodshot, they can only see the outline of their face vaguely.
This vague feeling indirectly adds a bit of hazy beauty to Zhao Ji's appearance, no wonder the people are privately rumoring how handsome and handsome they are.........
Compared with the emperor's haze, the princes and princes who are very conspicuous in the sacrificial procession are directly exposed to the public eye, and it is inevitable that they will be watched and commented on by the people like the animals in the zoo.
There is no way, officials are particular about traveling and standing in line, and there can be no chaos at all about what grade and what position.
Wu Zhi is a scholar of Kaifeng Mansion Yin and Longtuge, how can it be regarded as a high-ranking official of the three grades, ranking among the first-echelon bureaucrats of the sacrifice, in front of him are Cai Jing, Wang Huang Tong Guan and other deacon-level officials, beside him are the six Shangshu, behind him are Jiuqing and the head of the various ministries, as well as Taiwanese officials, although these officials are all petty officials in the eyes of Wu Zhi, but looking at the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, and even the entire feudal society are high-ranking officials in the capital.
Therefore, Wu Zhi is standing behind him are all senior officials at the level of secretary, mayor and governor, and next to him are senior officials at the level of national ministers, these people all have a common characteristic, that is, old!
In addition to Wu Zhi, the youngest is at least forty years old, generally fifty or sixty years old, plus Cai Jing in front of Wu Zhi is nearly seventy, and Wang Huang Tongguan is also fifty years old, so it is difficult for Wu Zhi, an official in his twenties who is mixed in the top high-ranking officials, not to attract attention.
"That's our Kaifeng Mansion's Master Wu!"
Among the bustling people, there was a head of the family who pointed to Wu Zhi on the little baby riding on his shoulder, and said with great expectations to the little baby: "You must study hard in the future, and strive to be like Wu Daren in the future, and you can live in the temple at a young age!" ”
Teachings like this are common among the population.
"Dad, what is a temple?"
“………”
Officials above the third rank wore purple official uniforms, which were Luo robe skirts, lined with white flowers and Luo Zhongdan, tied with a large belt inlaid with jade, and then tied with leather belts to cover the knees, with a square heart curved collar, white silk socks and black leather shoes. After the slight modification of the ladies, this court dress fits just right on Wu Zhi's body, which shows the official authority, and also looks slender and capable. Even those girls who stared intently at the princes were hooked by Wu Zhi.
………
According to the system, the sacrificial procession must go out from the south gate of Bianjing before turning around and going to the western suburbs to worship.
As soon as the team left the south city gate, a group of dozens of flying horses rushed towards them on the official road not far away. Although there were a large number of Imperial Forest Army in front of the team to open the way, the whole team still stopped involuntarily, and Zhao Ji and the hundred officials were also full of surprise.
Seeing that the team of flying horsemen was the first to wear the green official uniform of the Great Song Dynasty, and the soldiers behind him were also dressed as soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, and now they suddenly appeared outside Bianjing City, isn't there something wrong?
Zhao Ji and the hundred officials were puzzled, and the team of flying horses had already arrived and were surrounded by the Royal Forest Legion.
"Urgent! Jiangnan Urgent! ”
There was a breathless shout from the front, and Wu Zhi raised the corners of his mouth slightly: It's finally here, it's really time to come!
Wu Zhi has a flying pigeon to pass the book, knowing that Fang La in Jiangnan rebelled in Muzhou, Zhejiang two days ago, this will probably have captured Muzhou, Muzhou Zhizhou is Zhu Mian's cronies, I don't know if he was killed by the rebels!
Hearing that it was an urgent report, Zhao Ji and the hundred officials all changed their faces, and when they encountered an urgent report on the way to the sacrifice, no matter what the emergency report was, it was unknown!
"What's the emergency?"
Zhao Ji had no choice but to call the messenger to the side of the jade chariot to ask.
"Jiangnan Muzhou Fangla has rebelled! Now that Muzhou has been captured, the whole family of Lord Fang, the governor of Muzhou, has been killed by the thieves! Now the anti-thieves are like a bamboo, and they are gathering thieves to send troops to Hangzhou! The messenger burst into tears.
"What? Rebel? ”
Zhao Ji's face was suddenly like earth, all the officials were dumbfounded, and Wu Zhi also pretended to be shocked.
"Are you true?"
Cai Jing stepped out, pointed at the messenger and asked.
But he didn't change his suspicious nature.
"It's true! Xia Guan is the post official of Jiangning Mansion, and it was Lord Yin of Jiangning Mansion who sent me to Beijing to report the news! ”
"Your Majesty! The stakes are very high, I hope that Your Majesty will suspend the sacrifice and immediately return to the DPRK to discuss the matter of quelling the chaos! ”
After Cai Jing finished speaking, all the officials responded in unison.
The country rebelled and sacrificed a yarn, Zhao Ji was full of loss, mixed with anger, and had to unwillingly order all to return to the dynasty.
"Jiangnan has always been rich, how can there be a rebellion?"
On the way back, Zhao Ji racked his brains and couldn't figure it out, the more he couldn't figure it out, the more he thought about it.
And Cai Jing and other officials gradually calmed down, their faces changed strangely, after all, they were officials who helped Zhao Ji manage the world, and there were some things that Zhao Ji didn't understand, but they could understand.
"Damn!"
When he was about to arrive at the palace, Zhao Ji clenched his fists hatefully, a rebellion not only ruined his "first reputation", but also the plan to recover Yanyun will be shelved, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will be missed, Zhao Ji is angry, he secretly swears that he will break the rebels into pieces!
