Chapter 197: Suspend the investigation and proclaim the sacrifice of heaven and earth

Last time, it was said that Sun Nian and his wife were in danger, but Jiang Wei, who was Sun Nian's personal guard, was nowhere to be seen, and it happened that the time when the assassin was found was too coincidental, which made the fifth constant suspect that Jiang Wei was the one who rebelled.

Although Sun Nian had doubts, he was worried that he was anxious to misjudge Jiang Wei's crime, so he took advantage of the founding ceremony to suppress the matter.

Putting everything down, the founding ceremony begins.

The establishment of a nation is a major event. It is set on the sixth day of the first month.

On this day, when the sun rises in the east, all the people celebrate together, and hundreds of generals will accompany them. When they hugged each other, some people didn't see Jiang Wei, and they were surprised but didn't dare to say more. Some people think that Jiang Wei is trusted by Sun Nian and is a general who defends the safety of the ceremony, so they are not in this trip.

As for the fifth constant, who has spied a glimmer of truth, he is silent and does not say much.

When the auspicious time came, Sun Nian took hundreds of officials to pay tribute to the sky [1] in the wide ground in front of the Deyang Palace. Burning firewood to reach the heavens, to show the heavens, Sun Nian he will be the lord of the world, on behalf of the herdsmen of the sky, leading the people of the world to find longevity.

The ministers knelt down with Sun Nian, who was dressed in court clothes, to worship the heavens and thank the heavens.

Later, he went out of the northern suburbs and went to the square altar to worship the gods of the mountains and rivers to sacrifice to the land [2], that is, "She". In this way, it is hoped that the gods of the earth and mountains can bless him with abundant grains, prosperous livestock, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

When all this was done, Sun Nian took a group of ministers and generals to the Taimiao Temple to worship the temple [Note 3], and worship the four relatives, the two ancestors, and the ancestors [Note 4]. The etiquette was cumbersome, and Sun Nian and the others were dizzy by the ceremonial officer, but they also sighed very much.

No wonder it is said that the land of the Central Plains has complicated etiquette and covers the first place in the world. Now that I have experienced it myself, I feel more and more reasonable. But when it can't bear the cumbersomeness, it is very proud. This worship of heaven and earth can represent that he Sun Nian holds the power of the world, and not anyone can replace it. It is also a reward for half his life's hard work.

After all three of these things are done, it is sunset!

Sun Nian was happy, and loudly announced: "Today's three major sacrifices have been completed, and the widow is very grateful for everyone's help and merits!" At the beginning of tomorrow [Note 5], the 12 generals of the three armies and their officers and men will be reviewed to raise the prestige of the army and declare the national strength. ”

After finishing the words, the twelve generals in Sun Nian's mouth, that is, the twelve guards of Jinghongwei, were all dressed in silver armor, and they all lined up in unison, shouting in unison: "I promise Your Majesty's words!" ”

The next morning, Sun Nian led the queen and all the princes and ministers to gather in front of the palace gate to watch his army review the ceremony.

Seeing that all the people were happy and full of interest, Queen Thirteen Niang was also dressed in court clothes, and said with a side smile: "Brother Ah Nian, my majesty, now you don't do things according to common sense." "This great cause of the founding of the country, no matter how simple it is, respects the lessons of the ancestors, and must not delete the steps. But Sun Nian is good, after worshipping heaven and earth and the temple, he directly inspected the army, but he has not yet rewarded the heroes and generals, let alone his harem. She is his main palace, standing by his side justifiably. This feeling is really refreshing as the cold ice of summer.

Sun Nian smiled silently and said, "Ting'er knows, why did I choose this time as the auspicious time to review the army?" ”

Is there still a great deal of exquisiteness? Thirteen Niang's eyes widened, and she thought for a while, but she couldn't think of it, and asked, "I can't think of it." Brother Anian, why don't you tell me more about it? Have some free time? ”

Sun Nian smiled, "The celebrant also looked at Zhou Yi and listened to him, at this time, the five elements belong to fire and gold, gold is beneficial to Jin Ge Iron Horse, and fire is to restrain its momentum." "The king's suspicions are already a little at this point.

Thirteen Niang suddenly understood, and understood that Sun Nian was precautionary, even if he was said to be suspicious, it was for the sake of not killing each other in the future.

At this time, a silver-robed young general came from a distance, looking uneasy, wanting to come forward and afraid that he would make Sun Nian unhappy, which made Thirteen Niang smile, "Brother Ah Nian is different from the past." ”

"Oh? Why? Sun Nian asked softly with his head sideways.

Thirteen Niang's slender fingers pointed at the cowering young general, and said, "In the past, there were not necessarily people who were so afraid of you. ”

Sun Nian followed her direction, saw the young general, immediately felt bad, his face became much colder, beckoned him to come over, and asked, "But what have you discovered?"

This brainless sentence made Thirteen Niang very curious. After looking back and forth between the two of them for a long time, they still couldn't figure it out and wanted to ask, but they still pressed it down, quietly pulled Sun Nian's palm, and looked at him to speak.

The young general didn't dare to look at it randomly, so he only lowered his head and spoke: "Back to Your Majesty, that person seems to look exactly like General Jiang Wei." Lost the clue this morning and disappeared. ”

Maybe he's still alive. Sun Nian thought that if that person was really Jiang Wei, as long as he didn't make trouble today, then he could let him go, and he should repay the grace of saving his life.

But this is not over, the young general said again: "Yesterday he wanted to go to the altar to make trouble, but our brother drove him away. Before he made a move, he called out the convenient Ying Fu in his five eyes to see it, and I don't know if the person was afraid that Ying Fu would see his true face, so he left in a hurry like that.

When Sun Nian heard this, he didn't think much about it anymore. The most important thing now is the review of the army, and the reward afterwards. "Good. Go down. ”

"Promise."

This one thing took a little time, and it was like a wave falling into the water and disappearing. The people who noticed that they had heard a few words here all became unclear people, and only waited for the arrival of the mighty army.

When I arrived, there was a sudden sound of footsteps on the street. Coming in unison steps, it was as if the earth was shaking the mountains.

It was rare for the common people to see the white-armored army dressed in grand and formal manners. Today is the eye-opener.

The first to come was a white-armored infantry army. I saw them holding spears, a group of ten people, a column of ten people, forming a large phalanx and walking over. The soldier's face was solemn, and his eyes did not squint. Unconsciously, it was the idea of "instigating" many young people to join the White Armor Army. After all, His Majesty's new law, military households are no longer humble. And those little daughters-in-law and little girls, when they see such mighty people, they also show admiration and admiration, and they can't wait for their sweethearts to be among them.

They don't know that this is still a relatively ordinary white armor army. What would happen if the more powerful and domineering white-armored cavalry and the twelve generals of the Guardians appeared in front of them?

After the infantry and archers walked over, after a while, as far as the eye could see, they saw the large phalanx of the cavalry regiment!

I saw two generals in silver armor coming at the head, and there were also ten generals in silver armor behind them. Following the general, there is the world-famous white-armored cavalry regiment.

White horses and white-armored warriors, walking the world for their home and country.

This is a phrase that circulated among the people not long ago. The praise is the white-armored cavalry that established the great qi of Sun Nian.

When I saw the real face today, the people's mouths were long enough to fit an egg, and their eyes were shining, wishing that they were the soldiers on the horse.

Sun Nian, who was on a high place, looked at the surprise and envy of the people and ministers, and was very happy, and glanced at Thirteen Niang, smiling brightly.

His purpose was achieved. He held the ceremony of the army review for two purposes: first, to appease the people and let them know that the country and the people have such a mighty army to protect them; The second is to deter those restless small countries around them, and don't have nothing to do with him. As for Cao Rong and his ilk, he didn't think of using his white-armored cavalry to intimidate them at all. It's just grasshoppers after autumn, and he just watched them jump.

When all the troops were already standing on the coaching ground, Sun Nian led the minister to talk to the soldiers under review, so as to encourage the morale of the army.

The matter of the review has been completed, and Sun Niancai issued an edict, which turned out to be a reward edict for all the ministers.

Not to mention that the twelve generals of the Hongwei were very rich, which surprised the people, what was even more unexpected was: why did the edict of canonizing the queen not appear?
