Chapter 54 for the Tang Dynasty
The triumphant army, all the way very slowly, but quite smooth, after several months of marching, finally about to arrive in Chang'an, looking from afar, you can vaguely see the wall of Chang'an City.
Chu Ze was walking in front of the marching procession, and when he was near Bashui, which was only about twenty miles away from Chang'an City, he received reports from people from several directions, asking them to stand by here.
However, Chu Ze also knew that after such a large-scale war ended, and the army had achieved a major victory, the imperial court would definitely hold a ceremony. In the previous life, due to the principle of secrecy, every time he went back from a mission, the captain was asking the canteen to add a few dishes to celebrate, although it was simple, Chu Ze and they were still very happy. For what happened next, Chu Ze faintly looked forward to it.
The triumphant army stopped nearly twenty miles outside the city of Chang'an, and all the leading generals were summoned by Li Jing to march to the front of the army, waiting together for the envoys sent by the imperial court to come and greet them.
Li Jing, dressed in military uniform, with a stern complexion, rode in the lead, standing in the front, followed by Li Daozong, Hou Junji, Xue Wanjun and other senior generals, Li Jing made an exception and asked Chu Ze and Cheng Chuliang to follow behind Li Daozong and others, behind everyone, tens of thousands of soldiers in a strict queue.
In the ranks of sergeants, flags are like forests, and drums are shaking the sky.
After a while, a few jackdaws swept in the distance, and then a sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, and Chu Ze saw a group of people on horses running from afar, rushing towards the army. At the head was a middle-aged man, dressed in a military uniform, and his armor was bright yellow, "Could it be His Majesty Li Er?" β
Then everyone's actions confirmed Chu Ze's thoughts, and everyone hurriedly jumped off the horse and greeted him. "It's really His Majesty Li Er, why is it different from the history books?" Chu Ze thought behind everyone.
Li Jing shouted loudly: "Li Jing, the last general, the general of the Xikaidao march, led all the generals under his command to see Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Princeγ... The ministers fortunately fulfilled their mission and led the soldiers to fight bloodily and finally achieved victory. Pacify Tuyuhun. Now that I have returned, please ask Your Majesty to show "Li Jing led the generals to salute on one knee and on the ground."
"All the generals are exempt," His Majesty Li Er, who was full of joy, stepped forward to pick up Li Jing, and then ordered all the generals to get up.
His Majesty Li Er looked at Pei Xingjian and said, "The pharmacist will not disappoint me, the pharmacist Gu Xi led all the soldiers under his command to fight bravely to kill the enemy, and in a very short period of time, the Tuyuhun will be pacified, so that my Tang frontier will be peaceful, so no matter what way to greet you, therefore, I will lead the prince and the ministers to meet you outside Chang'an City today!"
Li Jing said modestly, "The minister is afraid, the minister is lucky, he is lucky to have made some Weibo contributions, how dare he bother His Majesty to go out of the city to greet him in person!" β
His Majesty Li Er looked at the generals behind Li Jing, and shouted in a louder voice, "Soldiers, you have worked hard!" Tuyuhun offended my Datang, it was you who pacified Tuyuhun, there are heroes like you, in the world, who else dares to offend my Datang! β
His Majesty Li Er's voice was very loud, and it spread far away, and people got goosebumps when they heard it.
Li Jing said modestly, "Your Majesty, it is the duty of the ministers to go out for the country and drive the enemy and kill the captives, and the ministers dare not say anything." β
His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "Pharmacists, don't be humble, I have pharmacists, and with you, the Tang Dynasty will win!" Saying that, His Majesty Li Er looked at everyone.
The generals behind him naturally understood the meaning of His Majesty Li Er, and then shouted, "Datang Wansheng..."
Then the whole army chanted "Datang Wansheng!" β
Tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky!
"It's really neat, it seems that this scene is not less neat," Chu Ze thought as he shouted with everyone.
His Majesty Li Er was very proud when he saw the earth-shattering and passionate appearance of the soldiers, and waited for the soldiers to shout for a while before pressing his hand to signal to stop.
"Tugu Hun is peaceful, the world will eventually be peaceful, you have made great contributions, and it is not an exaggeration to welcome you. All the soldiers have worked hard, I know all the merits of the soldiers who went on the expedition, and after a few days, I will have a heavy reward for you! The generals rode into the city with me and rode through the long streets..."
After speaking, His Majesty Li Er took the lead in getting on the horse, and the crown prince followed.
Li Jing shouted loudly, "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, the ministers are grateful!"
Following the emperor to ride a horse into the city and parade through the long street, it is really a great honor, Li Jing seemed to have eaten Xuanmai at this time, trembling with excitement, he couldn't stop at all, and the generals behind him were also full of peach blossoms, and the big demon king Cheng swallowed his saliva with envy.
Chu Ze stepped on the moon and followed everyone towards Chang'an City, after the horse's hooves, the yellow sand was flying, and the battle robe was flying in the wind!
On the tall city wall of Chang'an City, the musician who had already been arranged on the city tower played the music of King Qin's breaking formation, "Accept the law to resign as the head of state, and the prime minister will ask for traitors."
The salty song "Breaking the Array Music", appreciating the Taiping people. The four seas are surrounded by the emperor's wind, and the water is clear for thousands of years; Rong Yi is not even more weary, and it will be successful today. The Lord is holy and opens, and the ministers are loyal to Dayou; After you look at the Yange, it is the Taiping Autumn. ...... "long and rich.
"King Qin Breaking Array Music", the first year of Zhenguan was edicted by Li Shimin, and the famous minister Wei Zheng was ordered to write the lyrics, and Zhenguan choreographed a dance in the seventh year, and since then it has officially become a military song of the Tang Dynasty, and it is sung by both military and civilian people.
The people of Chang'an City knew a few days ago that the army was going to return to the court today, and they all spontaneously came to Chang'an City Street, holding wine and meat in their hands, and comforting the soldiers who went out on the expedition.
There are thousands of empty alleys in Chang'an City, and there are crowds of people on the streets, and countless people are waiting for the triumph of the heroes. The servants of the Jingzhao Mansion were dispatched to maintain order inside and outside the city.
Chu Ze rode a horse and followed everyone into Chang'an City, Ren was prepared for a long time, and he was also shocked by the grandeur of the scene. The crowds of people made Chu Ze's heart warm.
"The Tang Dynasty is victorious, the emperor is mighty!" In the crowd, I don't know who shouted first, and all the people on both sides of the street cheered at the same time.
"The Tang Dynasty is victorious, the emperor is mighty!"
"The Tang Dynasty is victorious, the emperor is mighty!"
The sound was higher and higher, and all the people cheered at the same time, and the sound resounded through the sky.
In the cheers of the crowd, His Majesty Li Er rode a horse and led the generals to play slowly on Suzaku Street, and His Majesty Li Er smiled and bowed his hand to greet the people around. His Majesty Li Er enjoyed this feeling of being shouted by 10,000 people, and his heart was naturally beautiful.
His Majesty Li Er wants to let the people of the world know that the enemy who invaded our Tang Dynasty has been pacified, and from now on, the world will be peaceful again. The prosperous Tang Dynasty created by him will continue to be strong.
Walking all the way from Chang'an City to Chaotai Temple, the temple after the war is an indispensable procedure after the war, and the victory of pacifying Tuyuhun will be informed to the ancestors, informed to God, thanked God for his protection, and then paid tribute to the dead soldiers, a set of procedures is completed.
The triumphal ceremony was followed by a grand palace banquet, His Majesty Li Er and the civil officials all attended, rejoicing in this victory, pushing the cup and changing the lamp during the banquet, and the generals were also drinking wine and eating meat in a big bowl, enjoying the graceful dance, and enjoying the rare glory.
