Chapter 16: The Great Camp in the Northern Suburbs

On the second day, outside the main hall of the Imperial City Invitation Moon Palace, Zheng Sanbao took many palace maids, eunuchs held clean bottles, and clean cloths were waiting outside.

At this time in the house, Xiang Chi was entangled with a plump and sexy woman with black hair like a waterfall, and bursts of wonderful sounds came and went.

After a fierce morning luck, Xiang Chi lay on the bed with the woman in his arms, panting slightly.

"I heard that you had a fight with Concubine An yesterday," Xiang Chi asked with a little curiosity not long after.

This woman's name said: Wei Jia, who was just elected to the palace this time, her father was in Qingzhou Zhizhong, and her ancestors were also considered to be a prominent family.

"Your Majesty, you can't blame the concubines, Sister An Concubine took advantage of Your Majesty's favor to wantonly insult the concubines" Hearing this, Wei Jia's flushed face was immediately full of grievances.

"After all, Concubine An is older than you, you still need to be respected, but this time forget it, but I want to tell you that everything in this harem is presided over by the queen, if the queen is not satisfied, then I don't have to say anything, understand?" Xiang Chi was a little serious, what happened, he knew very well that it was Wei Jia who was pampered and arrogant, which angered An Concubine, and An Concubine was just the queen's little follower, offended An Concubine, Xiang Chi would forget it, but if he angered the queen, Xiang Chi would not hesitate, especially during the period when the queen was pregnant, only the cold palace was waiting for Wei Jia, these women he chose after ascending the throne were just royal births, tools for the emperor's pleasure, it was difficult to have many feelings, because no matter what kind of woman it was, Xiang Chi was good to her, or not, In front of him, they are all honest and submissive, if they don't like it, they will be abolished directly, and the beauties in the world will throw him to choose, this kind of monarchy that dominates everything, so that the so-called love is impossible to talk about at all, and only the group in the East Palace period, or the prince and princess, he will take a second look.

Wei Jia bit her lip lightly, nodded and said, "The concubine understands"

After Xiang Chi kissed lightly, he sat up, "I have to go to the camp in the northern suburbs today to inspect and coat me widely!" ”

"Yes!" Wei Jia immediately said respectfully.

。。。。

The camp in the northern suburbs is an elite garrison army stationed in the northwest of Luoyang, the imperial capital, with a strength of more than 50,000, under the control of three generals, all military adjustments, training, and personnel promotions are managed by the Governor's Office, and only after Xiang Chi signed, it will be implemented, and if you want to transfer troops out of the camp, you must have the consent of the Ministry of War, and you also need Xiang Chi's nod, that is to say, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies has the right to command the troops but not the right to transfer troops, and the Ministry of War has the right to transfer troops but not the right to command the troops, so as to ensure that the military power is completely controlled by the emperor.

The camp in the northern suburbs was built on a vast flat land, covering an area of several miles, in the shape of an oval, based on two ten-meter-high towers in the north and south, surrounded by a high fence.

On this day, under the command of Ji Chen, the Yulin Army commanded by Zhang Meng, the Jinyi Guard commanded by Wei Zhong, and the thousands of people from the three armies, Xiang Chi's Luan drove the north gate of Congcong and slowly entered, accompanied by hundreds of civil and military officials.

On a huge martial arts arena in the northern suburbs, tens of thousands of troops stood here, seeing swords and spears, the military flag was flipped, and the soldiers with majestic bodies were straight.

With the arrival of Luan, tens of thousands of troops immediately knelt down in unison.

Luan drove on the martial arts arena, slowly stopped under a high platform for a military parade, and after Zheng Sanbao gently lifted the imperial curtain, Xiang Chi, who was wearing a golden nine-clawed dragon robe and a crown facing the sky, walked out step by step.

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live"

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live"

The deafening sound of three long live sounds sounded, Xiang Chi nodded with a smile, and walked down after Zheng Sanbao's support.

"Meet Your Majesty" I saw Ji Yun, as well as another slender man, with black and shiny hair, standing up, tucked up in the jade crown, wearing golden armor, and showing his dignity, standing in the first place, leading many generals to respectfully salute.

"Haha, don't be polite, Xu Ping, I have seen the camp in the northern suburbs, and I will go to see your camp in the southern suburbs in the future" Xiang Chi looked at the golden-armored man next to Ji Yun and said with a smile.

Xu Ping, the Marquis of Dachu Dingan, after Xu Qian, the founding god of war, and the governor of Nanzuo, the governor of the five armies, ranked third, according to the order of the East Palace, above Ji Yun.

"The minister can't wait for a long time, but the military parade plan of the northern suburbs camp, after the minister has seen it, he really admires the fourth brother's planning" Hearing this, Xu Ping smiled.

"Third brother, I've won the prize," Ji Yun immediately said modestly.

"Really? Then you must take a look, the foundation of the camp in the northern suburbs was formed by the Blood Tiger Army that Taizu once dominated the world, and now it has been a hundred years, I want to see how much evil energy there is in the Blood Tiger Army of my Great Chu" Xiang Chi said expectantly.

"The camp in the northern suburbs will not disappoint Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please go to the military platform" Ji Yun said.

"Okay" Xiang Chi nodded, and walked along the steps towards the top of the high parade platform, and the civil and military forces immediately consciously divided into two factions, headed by Prime Minister Zhang Youzhi on the left, and Ji Yun on the right.

Looking at the army that was still kneeling, Xiang Chi waved his hand, and the whole person suddenly changed, and an extraordinary momentum spread out violently, except for Ji Yun and Xu Ping's prepared ministers, the other civil and military forces were shocked, and they seemed to be a little unstable.

Ji Yun, Xu Ping, Wei Zhong, Ji Chen, and Zhang Meng glanced at it, and instantly lined up in a row, blocking the ministers.

"My warriors, get up" Xiang Chi shouted loudly, rolling the true qi in his body, and suddenly like the order of the Emperor of Heaven, like the sound of thunder, echoed in the sky above the vast martial arts arena.

"Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live" The soldiers shouted again and then stood up.

Zhang You looked straight at Xiang Chi, who was standing proudly in front of him, and muttered in surprise: "This, is this the power of Taizu?" ”

"Your Majesty, the banquet has been prepared, Your Majesty can chat with the important ministers while watching the military parade," Ji Yun said at this time.

"No need, I'm standing here and witnessing my great Chu's golden lion," Xiang Chi announced.

"Yes" After Ji Yun said admiringly, he immediately waved his hand and shouted: "The military parade has officially begun."

Hearing this, the big drums directly below the parade platform were suddenly beaten, stirring the blood in everyone's hearts, especially those who had never seen the new-style military parade, and looked forward to looking ahead.

Soon, I saw about four or five hundred soldiers dressed in silver armor and spears moving forward, forming a square formation, walking in a uniform pace, and every step they took seemed to be stepping on the tip of the human heart.

Looking at such a majestic and neat pikemen, the civil and military forces who arrived, especially many civil servants, couldn't help but open their mouths.
