Chapter 223 Parade Preparations
Chinese New Year's Eve, South Lake.
The atmosphere of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger, Duan Mengrou and others have arranged the garden in an orderly manner, and everyone's cheeks are filled with joyful smiles.
Lin Feng saw it in his eyes, he was happy in his heart, it was the end of the year, and in the past year, Yan Guo had made long-term progress, beyond expectations.
At this time, there were only a few people in the garden, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, when Wen Jishi, Chu Fuyan, and Tuoba Yu led the troops back to Yanjing, some blade soldiers also returned to Yanjing, and they had to review during the parade.
The rest of the part stayed in the barracks to carnival, all year round, the Blade Warriors contributed greatly, and for a few days of the Spring Festival, Lin Feng planned to let them relax and relax.
Wen Jishi, Chu Fuyan, and Tuoba Yu left, and the garden was much more deserted, and Lin Feng was left with Hou Mingfeng, Duan Mengrou, Tong Yanyu, Mu Jinxi, and Cao Aman.
However, when everyone was doing their own thing, Lin Feng was lying on the bed, his thoughts did not relax at all, because of the parade, because he was sick, he could only rely on Master Wenji.
After the Spring Festival, the princes will join the alliance, the five kingdoms will fight the Song Dynasty, these things will also begin, although the injury cannot be healed, at that time, he must move and take action.
The princes had never participated in the alliance before, and Lin Feng didn't know what would happen when the alliance was in his heart, so he didn't put his mind on it for the time being.
However, it is very likely that the Five Kingdoms will attack the Song Dynasty, and it is very likely that Northern Zhao will take advantage of Yan State, so while the envoys of Northern Zhao are still staying in Yan State, Yan State must show the powerful side of Yan State in the military parade, shock Northern Zhao, and dispel Northern Zhao's intention to borrow the road.
In addition, the Five Kingdoms cut the Song Dynasty. Lin Feng will not let Yan Guo participate in it, if Situ and Song Guo negotiate successfully, the next year. At that time, the attention of Yan State will be all shifted to the Jin State, and if it participates in the Five Kingdoms to attack the Song Dynasty, it will not only affect the relationship between the Yan and Song countries. There will also be obstacles to the swallowing of the Jin Kingdom by the Yan Kingdom.
However, there is no news about the exchange of land at present. It's not clear what Song Guo's attitude is!
While Lin Feng was pondering, Hou Mingfeng opened the door curtain, pushed the wooden wheelchair, and walked in with a smile. Put the freshly made wheelchair. Pushed in front of Lin Feng. said: "Your Majesty, look, is there any difference with what you conceived?" ”
Lying on the bed, it was really boring, and with Cao Aman's protection by his side, Lin Feng simply asked Hou Mingfeng to make a wheelchair and prepare to use it as a substitute.
Lin Feng glanced at the wheelchair. After looking at it for a moment, it feels pretty much the same. Then he said to Cao Aman beside him: "Aman, help me up!" ”
"Aman, be careful, Your Majesty, there is a wound on your leg!" Hou Mingfeng reminded beside him, worried that Cao Aman's movements were too rough and dragged Lin Feng's injuries. After all, Cao Aman has always liked to be simple and rude, taking care of Lin Feng, and he was a little worried in his heart. "Forget it, you stay, I'll come!"
After all, he didn't dare to let Cao Aman make a move, Hou Mingfeng stepped forward, picked up Lin Feng, carefully helped him out of the big bed, and cautiously sat in a wheelchair.
The wooden wheelchair, the surface is covered with tiger skin, and it is warm to sit in, and it will not feel stiff, which will affect Lin Feng's injury.
It's a pity that Lin Feng's recovery was not as fast as he imagined, his injuries were too serious, and he was critical, Hou Mingfeng was careful and careful, and in the support, Lin Feng still had cold sweat on his head, but fortunately, he finally succeeded in sitting in a wheelchair.
Hou Mingfeng brought a fox skin blanket, put it on Lin Feng's legs, and said sharply: "Your Majesty, one day, the minister will give this wheelchair to Beichen Qiong." ”
"Huh!" Lin Feng chuckled and said, "Tui Zhen went out for a walk, I haven't breathed fresh air outside for a long time." ”
The sky is slightly cool, it is dusk, Chinese New Year's Eve, thousands of families are reunited, many places in Nanhu, crackling and crackling sounds, the air is full of the smell of gunsmoke, kissing is very familiar.
Lin Feng frowned, and said to Cao Aman, who was following him: "Aman, go, outside the garden, also set off some fireworks, there are few people in the garden, but it can't be without the smell of the New Year." ”
At this time, without waiting for Cao Aman to leave, Mu Jinxi had already come out with firecrackers, there were six people in the garden, and Lin Feng appeared in the courtyard, so it was impossible for everyone to be unclear.
"Emperor, it's cold outside, come into the house to rest, the family banquet is almost ready, set off firecrackers, and eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." Mu Jinxi whispered and put the firecracker beside Cao Aman.
"Well, I heard that Rou'er and Yan Yu have prepared a lot of Chudi delicacies, Aman, go quickly, get ready to eat!" Lin Feng urged.
Soon, the sound of firecrackers sounded at the door, and at the same time, there was a shout: "Reckless, you dare, let me go.."
"Your Majesty, it seems to be Lord Situ's voice, I'll take a look." Before everyone left, they heard the noise outside, Hou Mingfeng said to Lin Feng, and walked quickly to the outside of the courtyard.
Before Hou Mingfeng could take a few steps, Cao Aman walked in, like an eagle catching a chicken, holding a person in his hand, with a fierce face, and from time to time he raised his fist to threaten.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" The person in Cao Aman's hands shouted loudly, without the slightest calmness of smiling at the wind and clouds in the past, this person is not Situ who rushed back from the Song Kingdom, who is it?
"You reckless man, let go of Situ quickly, if you hurt him, you can't afford to pay a hundred." Seeing Situ's appearance, Lin Feng exclaimed.
"Your Majesty, this little thief is sneaking around outside, I'm afraid he will hurt you." Cao Aman said, it seems that he doesn't have a good impression of Situ. But listening to Lin Feng's reprimand, he still reluctantly let go of Situ.
Situ got out of trouble, tidied up his clothes, glared at Cao Aman, and said, "Reckless, reckless!" ”
Lin Feng chuckled, looked at Situ's angry appearance, and said: "Situ, those who don't know are not guilty, Aman doesn't know people, he treats you as a bad person, and he can't blame him, you look like a dusty servant, you returned from the Song Kingdom, or did you come from Yanjing?" ”
"Haha, Your Majesty, great joy, the Song people promised to change land in different places, if the Marquis of Dingguo captured Shangyu Road, the Yan State would change back to the seven counties of Jinxi, at that time, Yan Guo had the strength to cut down Jin." Speaking of government affairs, Situ left the spirit and said with great joy.
"Lin Shuying agreed, great, not long ago, I was still thinking about this!" Lin Feng also smiled, and said: "Situ, sit in the house, tonight, our monarchs and ministers have a good drink, at present, if Ji Shi completes the military parade, in a short time, I am afraid that no one will underestimate Yan Guo." ”
The next day, the first day of the new year, Yanjing!
After prior arrangement, this year, the affairs of Yan Guo worshipping ancestors and receiving monarchs and ministers have been canceled one after another, and instead, Yan Guo held a military parade outside the noon gate.
The court had spread the news of the military parade earlier, and the people of Yanjing knew it, and they were looking forward to the soldiers of Yanguo.
Early in the morning, after breakfast, people began to help each other, three by two, to the noon gate, ready to watch the parade feast.
Due to Lin Feng's lack of health, the military parade ceremony of Yan Kingdom was fully handed over to the Ministry of War, Shangshu Wenji Division, and after prior preparations, a barracks were temporarily built at Noon Gate as a parade place.
In this military parade, the court of Yan Kingdom attached great importance to it, Lin Feng was not there, and Empress Han Ruoxi sent people to inquire several times, for fear of accidents, or insufficient preparation.
After all, in the past two years, the Yan State has undergone a transformation from death to life, whether it is the defeat of the Rong people at Heiqiguan, or Bishan, and the northern Jin Dynasty to seize the land of Zheng and Jin, or send troops to Donghu, the Donghu cavalry that fought fell into the water, captured the three counties of the Hunhe River, and captured the Donghu coach Tafeng.
These are the first unexpected victories of the Yan Kingdom in a hundred years, how can it not be celebrated with a grand military parade.
Second, Yan Guo conquered Beizhen in the south, provoking many enemies, and also intended to show the strength of Yan Guo to the outside world through this military parade, dispel the other party's revenge, and at the same time, dispel the idea of Northern Zhao borrowing Yan Guo.
The military parade has a great impact, which is related to the reputation and prestige of Yan State, and can also lay the foundation for the future development of Yan State, and it is also beneficial and harmless to the implementation of Yan State's strategy of long-distance friendship and close attack.
In addition, as the commander of the parade, Wen Jishi is still thinking about the alliance of the northern princes, and in previous years, Yan State, like many small countries, had no right to speak at all in the alliance, and mostly walked around the field as a foil.
Next, the vassal alliance and Wen Jishi hoped to change Lin Feng's status at the time of the alliance through the military parade, so as to enhance the status of Yan in the vassal states.
After full preparation, the day of the military parade has arrived in a blink of an eye, and there are not many national envoys that Yan can invite, except for the envoys of Northern Zhao who have not yet left, Murong Bowen's father and daughter of the Rong clan, and the Li clan, only the Song State sent envoys to participate in the military parade of Yan State, and the rest of the people who came were mostly small states and small countries, which were insignificant.
Wen Jishi came to the noon gate early, today, Yan Guo not only held a military parade, but also announced the year name, and at the same time summarized the past, removing the old and welcoming the new, and breaking the wind and waves.
Han Xuejian, who came to the city wall of the noon gate and waited for Lin Feng to exercise the power of the Son of Heaven, came early, wearing a phoenix crown, a phoenix robe, and a red and white-edged gold-trimmed cloak, with a cold expression, standing on the noon gate, looking at the people who were constantly gathering under the city.
Wen Jishi glanced at the people invited, including the courtiers, the old nobles of the Yan Kingdom, the leaders of the Li clan, the father and daughter of Murong Bowen of the Rong clan, the envoys of the Northern Zhao Dynasty, and the envoys of small states and small countries.
Steadily came to Han Xuejian, and said softly: "Empress, the time is almost up, Situ is not here, the matter of announcing the year name has been handed over to Li Mengchang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, do you have any suggestions or requirements." ”
Wen Jishi's attitude towards Han Xuejian is mostly respectful, and a small half is jealous, he has not worked with Han Xuejian for a long time, but Han Xuejian is outside Lin Feng's troops, acting as the responsibility of the Son of Heaven, and working with Situ to implement the new policy.
Not to mention the obstruction in the middle, in the past six months alone, the change of the order of the Yan Kingdom has been impressive, and in the middle, there is no bloodshed and beheading, it is absolutely impossible.
What's more, the new policy of Yan State is not as gentle as the reform of Zheng Liang and the two countries, and does not hurt the interests of the old nobles and the family.
How difficult it is can be imagined, not to mention, according to Situ, the change of Yan Kingdom is just a cloak of the New Deal, carrying out powerful changes, no death, no bloodshed, and it is impossible to bring Yan Kingdom back to life and develop vigorously.
