Owing to the limitations of the means of communication, it was already two days later by the time the Mission received the information. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When he heard that the Taiwei army surrendered the flag and admitted defeat and his side won on the spot, Emperor Zhaowu, who had been worried these days, was finally relieved.

After a moment of silence, endless joy erupted, leaving His Majesty the Emperor at no idea how to celebrate...... In fact, the best way to celebrate is to find Mr. Li, have a drink with him, and reminisce about the past, what a beautiful thing it should be.

But Li Hun's father-in-law is not a fuel-efficient lamp, as soon as he received the report of defeat, he immediately rolled up his clothes and ran back to the capital, how could he leave His Majesty the Emperor a chance to ridicule himself?

His Majesty the Emperor, who was full of joy and could not vent his joy, put his excess energy into the ceremony of welcoming the triumph of the troops. He ordered the Observation Group to move to Tianshui City, where a grand military parade was held to demonstrate the prestige of the monarch.

After the saint drove to Tianshui City, Emperor Zhaowu issued an order to recruit people from neighboring prefectures and counties, build a parade road, build a military parade platform, and deliberately moved 5,000 precious hundred-year-old Gongsun trees from Maiji Mountain, dozens of miles away, and planted them on both sides of the road for troops to enter the city, so as to boost the momentum.

Because the construction period was too fast, the people didn't care about protecting the root system, so they simply dug it out, carried it down the mountain, and planted it on the side of the road...... A month later, all the 5,000 Gongsun trees, with an average age of more than 400 years, withered and died, without exception.

And this is just a microcosm of His Majesty's labor and loss of money, and he also ordered the herdsmen of Longxi to sacrifice 20,000 cattle and sheep each to reward the three armies. The sky is pitiful, the pastoral area does not know how many livestock have died, only to survive the long winter, and wait for the spring of abundant water and grass, is looking forward to the cattle and sheep to eat more crazy, more piglets, more milk...... It's good now, there's nothing left.

The magistrate wants to ask, is there only 40,000 head of livestock in the huge pastoral area? Of course, there are many more, but the royal horse supervisor who executes the order below is ruthless, 40,000 cattle and sheep? That's for the Emperor! We can't run in vain, so we have to make two hard work, and we have to spend a lot of money.

But wherever the royal horse warden's procession passed, there was no grass to talk about...... After all, the fans in the prison don't eat grass, but valuable things such as cattle, sheep, gold and silver, don't think about leftovers. The herdsmen have lived and worked in peace and contentment for more than 100 years, and they have long lost the ferocity they had when they crisscrossed the grasslands, where did they dare to resist? Only to pack up the cart and drive the cattle and sheep to the north, hoping to avoid the infestation of the imperial eagle dogs.

In just five days, the five thousand imperial horse supervisors led by Lou Wanli ruined the Tianshui Mansion, which is known as the south of the Yangtze River, and the sun and moon were dark, and it had to be said that it was a miracle.

In any case, when the 100,000 forbidden troops returned to the east and arrived twenty miles outside Tianshui Mansion, they were completely shocked...... But seeing that the original narrow and rugged path has become a flat avenue three zhang wide, and the loess paving road and the water purification sprinkle street, so that the war horse, who has never enjoyed this kind of treatment in his life, does not know which foot to take first.

On both sides of the road, tall Gongsun trees are planted every two zhang. The sunlight shined through the canopy like the shade of the trees, and the speckled halo of light fell, making the soldiers feel like they were falling into a dream, and they couldn't help muttering: "Are we going a fork in the road?" "Even their commander-in-chief, the general, has the same doubt......

"What's going on?" Qin Li clutched the horsewhip and said suspiciously: "You must know." ”

Qin Lei chuckled lightly and didn't speak.

"Don't sell it." Qin Liwolf raised his eyebrows and said, "I always feel that this matter is not authentic. ”

Raising his hand, a sleeve arrow flew up to the crown of the tree, and Qin Lei knocked down a branch. The branch fluttered and fell not far away, and the black-clothed guard hurriedly dismounted and picked it up, and presented it to His Highness with both hands.

Qin Lei glanced at the branch, then handed it to Qin Li casually, and then said, "Let's see what's wrong." ”

Qin Li took the branch and looked at it for a long time, and said strangely: "Why is it only in March, and the leaves of the tree are so wilted?" ”

"yes, why?" Qin Lei's gaze fell on the end of the avenue and said softly.

After thinking for a long time, Qin Li slapped the saddle and said in a deep voice: "Qin Ge, put down a tree for Lonely, I want to see what is going on!" ”

Qin Ge is Qin Li's personal captain, hearing this, he hurriedly led people to the side of the road, and dismantled the wooden frame with the thick trunk...... Luckily, it didn't fall towards the road.

Qin Li is a fool, and he should understand now. His face suddenly became very ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Labor and money!" ”

Qin Lei sighed lightly and said: "Yes, at the juncture of spring ploughing, the farmers are not allowed to farm at home, but they are brought here to toss around......"

Before he finished speaking, Qin Li glared at him and said, "Since you already knew, why didn't you stop it?" "It's kind of 'you're pretending to be a good person after the fact'.

Qin Lei smiled bitterly and spread his hands and said, "Do you think what I said is useful?" ”

Qin Li took a breath and snorted: "It's not like words, it's too unlike!" "I don't know if it's because Emperor Zhaowu doesn't like it, or if Qin Lei doesn't like it.

Until ten miles outside the city, I saw the emperor's personal greeting procession, and the eldest prince's complexion did not improve.

In stark contrast to him, His Majesty Emperor Zhaowu was really happy today, seeing him standing on a high platform, wearing an ancestral golden armor, with a complex style and majestic luxury; Holding the Son of Heaven Quartet Sword in both hands, the momentum is extraordinary. The scarlet cloak on his back hunts and dances in the east wind, which is even more stylish.

Under the parade platform, there is a pair of royal forest guards with bright yellow armor and red cloaks, which strictly protect the dignity of Daqin on the high platform, and also show the supreme authority of His Majesty the Emperor who prospers and perishes those who go against it.

The civil and military officials were all dressed in formal dresses, and the stars and moons were lined up on the left and right of the high platform, quietly looking at the troops returning from afar, just a foil.

Seeing that the team was approaching, Li Guangyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, hurriedly sang and said, "Play music......"

Eighteen skinned drums were beaten together, followed by the sound of a hundred music and triumphant songs, and the sound was shocking and inspiring.

Amid the rousing music, the soldiers of the forbidden army marched to the newly split parade ground. Before everyone entered, there was a fan of the Imperial Horse Supervisor who handed over a halberd and a bouquet of garlands. The officers and soldiers of the forbidden army were a little at a loss, so they had to take it in a daze, and then followed them into the parade ground in a daze.

After they stood in the designated position, an official finally came over to explain that His Majesty the Emperor thought that the soldiers of the forbidden army were not powerful enough with wooden knives and guns, so he specially transferred 100,000 blades from the arsenal of the border army to strengthen his momentum. And that garland, the devil knows what it's for, just put it around the neck, and ask so much for what?

When Qin Lei and Qin Li arrived at the entrance, they saw His Royal Highness's black face, and the fan of the Imperial Horse Supervisor hurriedly lowered his head, and he didn't dare to let go in and invited the two Highnesses in, which disappointed His Highness who was full of trouble.

The two of them grabbed the reins of their horses at the front of the group, and stayed there with their eyes and noses and noses. When the music stopped abruptly, I couldn't help but look back, but I saw that the huge school yard was full of flags and halberds, and there were soldiers standing in black pressure, and the 100,000 forbidden troops had already arrived.

Tens of thousands of horses on the school field were all in the air, and more than 100,000 people were quiet at the same time.

I saw a red-robed official walk to the front of the stage and shouted heartbreakingly: "All the soldiers have worked hard, please give a lecture to His Majesty the Emperor!" "But it is the picket Yushi Guo Bizheng with the largest lung capacity among civil officials.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" More than 100,000 people saluted at the same time, the sound shook the sky, and the mountains roared with a tsunami.

For a while, on the school ground, only Emperor Zhaowu stood alone. This gave His Majesty the Emperor a great psychological hint - heaven and earth, self-exalted! I felt a wave of pride rising from the soles of my feet, running through my whole body, and spurting out of my chest, only to hear him say loudly: "Fellow soldiers of Great Qin, you have worked hard!" ”

The soldiers didn't know how to answer, so they had to shut up and look at His Majesty the Emperor, and the scene was extremely embarrassing for a while...... It's not that no one responds at all, at least His Highness the Fifth Highness whispered: "Serve the people......" It's just that no one heard.

The corners of Emperor Zhaowu's mouth twitched, and he quickly skipped over this bone and began to talk at length, first tracing the glory of his ancestors in founding the country, and then recalling the great achievements of the emperors of previous dynasties. By the time the first emperor was mentioned, half an hour had passed.

The officers and soldiers rushed for several days, thinking that they would be able to have a good rest when they arrived in Tianshui City, but they didn't expect to have a meeting here, how could they withstand it? Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor was considerate, and one person was given a long halberd, and everyone just put it on the ground and hugged it for a rest.

His Majesty the Emperor cleared his throat and pretended to glance at the audience casually, but when he saw the officers and soldiers nodding frequently, they seemed to be listening with relish, and he couldn't help but lift his spirits, and continued to talk about the battle of Qi Chu and the defense of Kyoto nineteen years ago...... Of course, the protagonist who received the Great Qin Military Gate to resist foreign aggression and finally recovered the whole territory was replaced by His Majesty the Emperor himself, and the names of Huangfudan, Li Hun and others were completely missing.

About two quarters of an hour later, the emperor finally talked about the internal and external situation faced by the Qin State after sweeping away the demonic atmosphere and eliminating the traitorous appearance: "The situation facing our Great Qin is very grim! Only by uniting as one and closely uniting under my command can we defeat the Qi State, sweep the Chu State, and unify the whole country......"

The spittle of the emperor above flew, and the people below slept darkly, and some people fell into a deep sleep...... As soon as he heard a pop, one of the leaders of the Long Xiang Army fell to his knees with weak knees.

Immediately attracted the emperor's attention. Emperor Zhaowu looked at the little officer who was bowing to the ground and said strangely: "What are you kneeling for?" ”

"This ...... The ...... "The little officer woke up from his sleep, and found himself the center of attention, and he was so frightened that he was like chaff, and he knew how to answer?

Fortunately, this team leader usually has a good interpersonal relationship, and his colleagues hurriedly came out and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, our team leader admires His Majesty's holy face the most in his life, and he is excited when he listens to His Majesty's words, so he can't help it, and his five bodies are thrown to the ground......"

Emperor Zhaowu smiled and said, "Is that so?" ”

The team was so grateful in his heart that he kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, I admire you very much......"

The emperor was immediately happy, not only did not investigate his dereliction of honor, but also gave him a heavy reward, and transferred him to the Imperial Forest Army on the spot, and the future of soaring is unknown.

After this little episode, the emperor rose up and made noise for a long time, until the sun was in the west, and then he got to the point: "There is no need to say the results of this military exercise, everyone knows it." As for the future marshal of the forbidden army......"

The officers, who had already slept for a while, quickly regained their spirits and listened to the emperor continue: "According to the prior agreement, the five generals of the winning side will be selected, and after some careful consideration, I have decided to be appointed by Ma Guangzu, the most outstanding general of the Imperial Forest, and you may have any objections......

One stone stirs up a thousand waves!!

The officers and men couldn't believe their ears, and they turned their heads one after another, and the originally quiet school field was buzzing......

The officers and men on the scene personally experienced the entire military exercise, and naturally judged the performance of the nine commanders of the forbidden army...... Who doesn't know that this big victory is thanks to the strategy of the Fifth Highness, and the Taiwei Army was played between applause. Who didn't know that it was the two generals Huangfu Shen Wei who set up an ambush in the valley above, so that the 20,000 Taiwei troops were trapped in the valley, and the chief military officer Li Qingwa was scared to cry. It can be said that these three are the winners of this military exercise, and the rest are the losers!

Even if according to the rules, the winning side produces the marshal of the forbidden army, it should also be produced among these three, and it can't be his turn Ma Guangzu!

Who doesn't know that before the military exercise, this person was only a captain, and he was the least useful of the five captains of the Imperial Forest Army. It would have been fine if he had performed well in the military exercise, but this person did nothing, and was even easily captured by His Highness. The reason why he was not included in the list of the dead was just because His Highness was too lazy to delist him.

Such an incompetent person can ride on the heads of His Royal Highnesses, General Huangfu and General Shen, what kind of truth is this?!

Looking at the chaotic field, Emperor Zhaowu coughed unhappily, Guo Bizheng quickly opened his throat and shouted: "Silence!" "I shouted seven or eight times in a row, and the field was a little quieter.

"Ma Guangzu stepped forward to listen to the seal!" Seeing that there was some coldness, Zhuo Yan hurriedly stepped forward and sang.

Ever since he heard his name, Deputy Commander Ma had been dizzy and couldn't find the north. It is said that happiness comes too suddenly, and it is too difficult for people to breathe...... He himself didn't expect that more than a month ago, when he was still a school captain, how could he suddenly become a marshal after only thirty or forty days of hard work?

He kept asking himself, 'Am I dreaming?' ’

"Ma Guangzu stepped forward to listen to the seal!" Old Eunuch Zhuo shouted again impatiently.

Only then did he stagger forward, fell to his knees, and stammered, "Your ...... Ma Guangzu ...... Decree ......"

"Fengtian ......" Old Eunuch Zhuo just said.

"Wait!" listened to a loud shout from the audience, interrupting the words of the old eunuch Zhuo.

Everyone brushed their hands to follow the prestige, but when they saw a great man wearing a fiery red robe and a purple and gold crown on his head, Qin Lei reached out to pull him, but he forcibly broke his fingers.

Qin Li strode to the front of the stage, and bowed deeply to Emperor Zhaowu: "Father, the son has objections!" "It is His Royal Highness the King of Wuyong County of Great Qin.

Emperor Zhaowu's face became very embarrassed, he waved his hand roughly, and said unhappily: "The rain calendar has retreated, and there is no part for you to speak here." ”

The eldest prince was still neither humble nor arrogant: "Erchen didn't plan to fight for Party B, he just wanted to say a fair word!" ”

"Do you think I'm unfair?" When it comes to lip service, the three great highnesses can't compare to one Zhaowu Emperor.

"Erchen didn't mean that......" The eldest prince really got hit, and said a little angrily: "Erchen just wants to state a fact." ”

"What facts?" Emperor Zhaowu's narrow eyes flickered, as if he wanted to eat people.

"Deputy Commander Ma was once captured by his sons, and he is not qualified to be this marshal!" Although it can't be said that Emperor Zhaowu, the eldest prince has never lacked courage!
