Chapter 18: The Dragon's Horse Enters the Sky
"Huang An, let's go, let me take a good look at my Daxia boy!"
Emperor Xia An shook his sleeves and stood up, Huang An immediately stopped, and then shouted a word, Xiao Jin Ling, who was guarding outside the pavilion, led several dozen eunuchs to carry the dragon seat inside, and when everything was settled, Emperor Xia An slowly stepped on his back and sat down safely, Huang An hurriedly approached and covered it with a layer of soft, purple feather mink velvet cloak embroidered with dragon clouds, so as not to rush the cold Emperor Xia An.
In front of the Qingxuanmen Gong Imperial Site.
Qin Yi led 100 Liaoyuan generals to stand in the left column of the meritorious imperial site, and Geng Liao led 100 generals of Xiaowu Emperor to stand in the right column.
The emperor said, heaven and earth four phases, the dragon stands in it, for An Shengwei, divided into two, its dragon head in the east, the right is respected, its dragon tail is in the west, the left is Feng, that is, it is humble, so the order is arranged, not to mention what is the taste in the heart of the Liaoyuan general? That unfathomable holy intent alone made the generals and schools worried.
While waiting, Qin Yi gasped, and occasionally took a cold breath into his stomach, so he coughed lightly, and behind him, Qin Yu was worried, and whispered: "Dad..."
"It's okay..."Qin Yi stopped his words, gasped and asked again: "Gao Chonglian's really sin is scattered?" ”
"Yes, the military cabinet and the military department have two orders to go straight down, and on the grounds that their generals are drunk and talk nonsense, they return to the Zhongshu Pavilion, and finally read it for the sake of the Liaoyuan army's hard work, the merits and demerits are offset, and the generals are removed, and their titles are eliminated, yesterday I personally sent General Gao out of the camp, he said that he had fought a lifetime of war, since his father was going to abdicate in the twilight, he also wanted to live a few days of stability, so he planned to return to his hometown in Dongjun, and now it is estimated that he is already a hundred miles away!"
"Alas... Snow Fox General... And so it ended... It's my fault..."
"Daddy... Don't say that, General Gao asked me to tell you when he left, he failed you..."Qin Yuzhi still wanted to comfort, but was suppressed by Qin Yi's sigh.
Taking advantage of the gap between His Majesty, Qin Yi turned around slightly, looked behind him, from the faces of Xin Zi, Peng Ji, He Shuhuan, Fu Ruzhen and other military camp generals, in the different thoughts, he saw different results in a trance, as an old commander, he wanted to redeem these brave subordinates, but he was already old, like a tiger falling into the sunset, in front of the power and official career, he... Already powerless?
In a state of confusion, the moment Qin Yimu retracted his head, he saw the Xiaowu generals who were more than ten steps away from him, and at the head of the right column, there was a small general's gaze.
Although there was no sound or rest, Qin Yi saw the righteousness from that pure gaze, and when he saw the great way of the world, he immediately said to himself: 'Lin Xiu Xiao'er, the old man pushed you before leaving the curtain, you must not let the old man down...'
"The emperor has arrived..."
The cold breath was faint, and the sudden scream roared, and in the twitching of the ears, both the Liaoyuan Army and the generals of the Xiaowu Emperor turned their eyes to the north to look at the high platform.
In the distance, the two teams of golden dragon flags and crowns fluttered in the wind, and the hundred-person gold-armored guards stood proudly, guarding the front and back, left and right, holding the dragon chairs carried by the sixteen people like a star, and slowly moved over.
When the dragon chair got closer and closer, until it reached the Longentai at the Qingxuanmen Gong Imperial Site, hundreds of generals knelt on the ground at the same time, kowtowed and shouted: "We knock to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty is favored by heaven, so that we will win a great victory in northern Xinjiang, and force the barbarians to defend the land, may our emperor live long live..."
Such a fierce voice made Emperor Xia'an's face surge, and his heart was excited: "The generals will guard the territory of me and raise the majesty of Great Xia... Now that I have made a contribution to this, all the generals will stand with the awe-inspiring majesty of heaven, the standing of ambition, and the foundation of loyalty and righteousness, and will not stop for the great summer for thousands of years! ”
"My emperor's teachings, we will be in our hearts, pure in our bones, life after life, eternal Daxia! Forever Huangwei! ”
For a while, Emperor Xia An's voice gasped slightly, and Huang An stood up and shouted: "Your Majesty's grace, all the generals will be flat!" ”
Getting up from the cold bluestone snow, although Lin Xiu's hands and knees were cold, his whole body was like a blazing fire, extremely hot, and his ears were like bursting with Emperor Xia'an's words, such arrogant words, that kind of heavenly might, it was like a saint in the world, making him crazy for it and serving Yongcheng to death.
Looking at it from a distance, Lin Xiu couldn't look at Emperor Xia'an's face, and in the shadows, he only felt that the dragon robes on the dragon grace platform were majestic, like a towering giant tree, so that he, a boy near the water, looked up and stood solemnly, even if there was even the slightest bit, he didn't dare to surpass it.
When Emperor Xia An signaled the decree, Huang An picked up the edict that had already been prepared from the golden jade plate: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said that the northern Xinjiang is a great victory..."
In Huang An's chanting, it took almost half an hour to read the edict before all the edicts were told to the generals, and during this time, Lin Xiu was already stunned, and even he could sense the hostile gaze of the generals around him.
"Lin Zhongyi, the head of the light cavalry battalion, the sole battalion, breaking the enemy, brave, martial wisdom, carrying the emperor's might, deterring the northern barbarians, so the emperor's grace is mighty, and he is specially given a piece of golden armor, and at the same time, the general is promoted to the rank of Xiao cavalry captain, the rank of sixth, and the leader of the capital is prepared by a thousand cows..."
In his ears, the grace of the Fish Leaping Dragon Gate continued to roar at Lin Xiu's heart like a cold wind, making him dare not and did not want to believe that he had been promoted from a rankless and rankless captain to a sixth-rank rank, and he jumped into the orthodox general column in an instant, and he also specially led the Qianniu to prepare for the government office that would be delegated in the future.
"I heard you right, that guy actually jumped more than ten steps? How can it be? ”
"Look at his stupid look... It's like the ancestral grave is smoking..."
For a while, all kinds of secret words and jealousy rolled in the hearts of other generals, but if you look closely, some generals who are familiar with Lin Xiu have not changed in the slightest.
Such as Qin Yi, when he heard this, his face was invisible, and he even raised his eyes to Entai, as if for a moment, Emperor Xia'an's eyes that seemed to be closed shot out of a fine light, facing Qin Yi, for a short moment, Qin Yi lowered his head, his hands were displaced, bowed slightly, and made a gesture of respectful gratitude.
Another example is Geng Liao, the commander of Lin Xiu, although he did not enter the rank of loyal generals among the high-ranking generals as Huang An said before, but he also jumped from the original position of the palace guard Zhonglang to the middle and upper ranks of the generals, and received the title of General Wupin Ningyuan, and was awarded the grace of the silverfish bag that showed the honor.
At this moment, in the secret whispers of the generals behind him, Geng Liao sneered in his heart: 'Lin Xiu, the height is cold, a wild horse embryo, no reins, no military master, no respect for military orders... No matter how good you are, it's just the root of a bad horse... I'm going to see how long you can jump, and how your Yang Mao master can save you...'
When the feud was over, the generals and colonels of the two armies, under the leadership of the edict and the palace Xiaohuangmen, went to the palace to enjoy a sumptuous banquet prepared by the imperial chef.
At this time, Lin Xiu had gradually recovered from the shock, and some acquaintances of the generals came to congratulate him, many of them were higher than Lin Xiu, but with Lin Xiu's promotion from the military to the generals, although these high-level generals were jealous, they still laughed at the face, and even they had begun to secretly figure out who was behind Lin Xiu.
