Chapter 671: The king master came out of the Saijing banner scroll, and the Han song resounded loudly in all directions
With the return of the guards to the province, the news that the imperial driver was about to go on a personal expedition spread in the capital. [No pop-up novel network]
This is a very shocking news, the sensation caused by it will naturally not be small, the capital in late autumn is boiling all of a sudden, people rush to tell each other, there are those who are worried, there are those who are full of anger, and there are those who are elated, but the most manifested is still shock.
Since the year of orthodoxy, no emperor has personally conquered, and the lesson of the past is too profound. Before that, there was a precedent, but except for the time when Emperor Xuanzong encountered the Mongol rangers, even when Chengzu went on a northern expedition, he was not fully prepared to go to war.
What a bad situation is now. Xuanfu was defeated, Ti rode out of Beijing, resulting in the capital is less than 100,000, and in the end, the emperor can only be in the army for only three years, and the expansion of the guard boys is only a year to face the battle, but the battle is at least 100,000 people of the grassland king's tent elite soldiers!
As long as we think about these facts, the sinister nature of this is self-evident, and even a person who is completely ignorant of military affairs will not be unaware of how unfavorable the situation is.
Moreover, the preparations for this expedition were also very hasty, from receiving an emergency from the border town, to the emperor's decision, to the guards going home to say goodbye, all happened in two or three hours.
And the name of the expedition was also set by the emperor after the fifth day, not to mention the imperial expedition, even if he sent a general with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses out of Beijing to help, this preparation time was not enough.
No one knows what the emperor's original intention was in deciding to go on a personal expedition; Few people are optimistic about this pro-conquest; The general's family was even more reluctant, and regarded this separation as a parting of life and death.
However, most people are willing to believe that the emperor is to save the soldiers and civilians of the border towns in Xuanzhen who are suffering from the poison. There are also a few people who think that this is the emperor's great joy to a certain extent, and has reached the point of madness, so there is such an absurd act, so in the evening of the same day, the Chengtian Gate was once again crowded with people who were meditating.
Among these people were the gentry party and the imperial party. There are those with deep brows and worries; There are also those who are worried on the face, but in fact secretly rejoice; There is no sadness or joy, just to invite fame.
It is a person who knows that the emperor can't go out of Beijing casually, and the pro-conquest is even more nonsense, so stand up to stop the emperor at this time, and when the dust settles in the future, his foresight will definitely leave a heavy mark in the history books.
No matter what they thought, the people who sat and petitioned outside the Chengtian Gate did not act violently, no one held up signs, no one shouted slogans, everyone just sat here quietly, expressing their opposition.
has been suppressed by the emperor for so long, and the ministers also know the rules, in the Zhengde Dynasty, anyone has the right to express their opinions, even if the opinions are a little rebellious, they are usually not punished for this. This rule is similar to the one in the Da Ming Law, 'not punishing crime for words', but there are some changes in the details.
First, the scope has expanded, although the Daming law does not explicitly state, but in fact it limits the scope, that is, scholars can not be punished for their words, and the current rules are all the people of the Ming Dynasty. This represents the news of another privilege for the scholars, and they are naturally very depressed.
The other is the restriction of expression, it is okay to express opinions, even if what is said is not very in line with the emperor's wishes, it will not be cleaned up. However, if anyone imagines what kind of rhetoric they used to make in gangs, or fanning the flames among the people, then I'm sorry, the electric chair of the factory guard is set up for this kind of person.
Therefore, no matter what kind of mood you have and what kind of purpose you report, the petition outside the Chengtian Gate is orderly and silent.
It's not that no one thought of using a more drastic method, but they know very well that outside the Chengtian Gate is not the best stage, and the time is not quite right, and people with such thoughts are waiting, waiting for the day when everyone is watching.
Compared with the officials' thoughts, the people's thoughts are much simpler. The Ming Dynasty's perception of the Tartars was similar to that of the people of the Celestial Dynasty in later generations, and there was no need for propaganda, and there was no need for propaganda to rescue the soldiers and civilians of the border towns from the hands of the brutal Tartars like beasts.
People are just worried, is the emperor's side too thin, is the risk too great, should they wait for the reinforcements from Jizhen to arrive, and then send troops?
However, since the emperor has made a decision, everyone can only listen, because everyone knows that the emperor is not crazy, and since he dares to send troops, he must be sure.
The mood of the sons and daughters who are in the army at home will be a little worse, but the fathers just patted their sons on the shoulders with calloused hands, and the mothers were in tears, but they were packing up for their sons.
The people's minds are very simple, they have received the favor of people to repay, and it is also their duty to defend their homeland, not to mention, the emperor is only a weak crown year, he has already personally stood on the front line, what reason does his own child have to retreat?
The passage of time is not subject to human will, five days, a flash, this morning, the Forbidden City once again bells.
With the ringing of the bell, from the noon gate to the Chengtian gate, the gate of the Forbidden City was opened one after another, and the whole picture of the Forbidden City was suddenly displayed in front of the world.
However, no one paid attention to the red walls and green tiles in the palace, and a thunderous sound attracted their attention, which rumbled like spring thunder, causing the ground to tremble. Although it was a little unbelievable, it was known that it was the sound of footsteps, the neat footsteps of the soldiers of the Guards.
"If the mountain is before it, it will fall; There is a river and a dangerous obstacle, and the whip is cut off; For the wings of the king, protect the people and the country; The Son of Heaven guard, invincible! The footsteps were still echoing, and another neat shout came from afar.
For some reason, many people suddenly felt very relieved, even if they knew that the Guards were just a group of teenagers, and what they were about to face was the most threatening and powerful enemy in the Central Plains, but they just felt very relieved for no reason.
For the Guards, they didn't feel the same fear as the other troops, maybe because this was a subordinate army, right? That's right, this is everyone's disciples, just like our emperor, people can't help but feel close.
When I didn't see anyone, I heard the sound first, but people's emotions rose all of a sudden, and the crowd surged, and everyone was looking forward to seeing the heroic posture of the soldiers who went out to fight.
The sound is getting closer, and suddenly, a touch of bright yellow flashed at the noon gate, the dragon came out of the water, and the flying dragon was in the sky, it was a flag, representing the yellow dragon flag of the majesty of the Son of Heaven!
"It's coming, it's coming!" Standing at the very front, the people with the sharpest eyes cheered, and immediately, the cheers spread, and in the blink of an eye, they resounded throughout the capital, and the holy car was jubilant everywhere.
After the dragon flag, there was a sea of fiery red. As the Son of Heaven, Zhengde's favorite is red, when he was in the Xuanfu military parade, he wore a red coat, as the Son of Heaven's pro-army, the official uniforms of the guards are also red. A piece of fiery red gathered together, dotted with a little bright yellow, it looked so dazzling, so gorgeous.
"It's the emperor! The emperor ...... in front, "The people were going to look for their sons in the queue, but they didn't expect that in the second row of the queue, they actually found a familiar face, and they subconsciously cheered, and even forgot to shout long live."
Because of the competitive competitions held from time to time, Zhengde's exposure rate is quite high, far exceeding that of the emperors of previous dynasties, and there are few people in the capital who do not know him. Therefore, even though he was dressed similarly to the other guards, he was still instantly recognizable, and even the big black tower-like man next to him couldn't make people distract him a little.
"Your Majesty, you can't go, as the Son of Heaven, you are the Ninety-Five, and you are the hope of everyone in the world, if there is a bad pool...... Chen Su bowed for the first hundred bows, and begged His Majesty to take back his order and return to the imperial city. As soon as the team stepped on Chang'an Avenue, a figure jumped out of the crowd with lightning speed, slammed on the ground, and cried loudly.
"I can't go? So what do you think? How can we solve the dilemma of Xuanzhen? Gently pushing away the soldiers who were guarding in front of him, Zhengde asked coldly.
"Xuanfu is just a border place, the land is vast and the people are sparse, after the war report spreads, the people will hide on their own, and the Tartars may not be able to find it? Besides, compared with the safety of Gyeonggi and His Majesty, a little sacrifice is really incomparable, please think twice! Su fell to the ground and cried, and kowtowed again and again.
He was both a victim and a beneficiary of the New Deal. Because the New Deal gave his hometown away, his younger brother Su Tan has been arrested and sent to Tianjin to work as a coolie, and his family property has also been confiscated, and it has been distributed as compensation for the victims over the years.
However, there is no system in the new policy, so he is still fine in the capital, and no one interferes with the petition he participated in a few days ago. Therefore, Su Yushi's poor star has not lost his heart again, and he has the idea of taking the opportunity to become famous.
When Zhengde returned to Beijing, he did a death admonition, but the result was unsuccessful, and now he doesn't plan to repeat his old tricks, but he is ready to cry, and after crying, pull down, the emperor had better just go back and never return, and after he is rehabilitated, he can use these credits to recover, and go to the next level.
Of course, as a young official with a bright future, at this time, he must not only show his style, but also show his talent, so as to leave a deep impression on the world and add another weight to the balance of his career.
"So, you've been to Xuanfu?" Zhengde asked as he spoke.
"Wechen ......" Su Yu was a little confused, but he couldn't tell the truth, "Wechen also heard what people said." ”
"You dare to talk nonsense if you haven't been there? You are guilty of deception! Zhengde was very dissatisfied, and without waiting for Su Yu to confess, he waved his hand again and said: "However, I am very generous, I will forgive you this time, and besides, I have also decided to take you to open your eyes, General Shang ......"
"The end will be." A monk flashed out on the side, and the 3,000 battalions were also going to go out with the army this time.
"Su Yushi will be handed over to you, put into the scout team, let him show his skills of hide and seek, and see how long he can be entangled with the Tartar sentinels." Zhengde pointed at Su Shu, who was already colorless and entangled with the Tartar sentry horse? Don't be funny, I'm a cultural person, how can I do such a rough job?
"The last will obey."
"Your Majesty, Weichen is a scholar, and he is not proficient in going into battle, this ......" Su really cried this time, entangled with the Tartar sentry horse? Just hang up with a picture, and you're still entangled with a fart.
"If you don't dare to go, and you won't let me go, will you let the people of Xuanfu fend for themselves? Moreover, you don't dare to deal with the Tartar sentry horse, how can you conclude that the Xuanfu people can? It's really standing and talking without backache, get out of the way! ”
Zhengde flew up and kicked the useless Yushi into the crowd, and then shouted: "If there is anyone who obstructs my path on this basis, I will treat him as if he wants to fight, and immediately organize him into the 3,000 battalion scout team." ”
Su rolled all the way over, and the people did not avoid it, but stepped on him a few more times, and when he easily got up and disappeared into the crowd, a green shirt had turned into a gray robe, how embarrassed and embarrassed.
In fact, there are many people who have the same idea as him, but with his precedent, no one dares to jump out at this time, and it is already good luck to be kicked. Anyway, I have participated in the previous petition, and today I will not be in the limelight, in the Zhengde Dynasty, being a low-key official is the king.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are willing to accompany the military counselor and join the foreign captives!" The officials were numb, but there were also those who were not afraid of death, and before Zhengde's military column advanced again, a bunch of people came out of the crowd, led by Yang Shen and Li Zhaoxian.
The academy can be described as a collective dispatch this time, and even Zhu Houhan followed, Xiao Shizi's face turned red, although he didn't speak, he waved his arms vigorously, trying to add some momentum to Yang Shen's words.
"You guys?" Zhengde frowned, "There is a specialization in the art industry, and you are not from the Military Academy, what are you going to do?" Those who get in the way are all studying in the capital with peace of mind, and I will be back soon, so let's disperse. ”
"Your Majesty......" Yang Shen was about to argue, but was stopped by Li Zhaoxian, who shook his head, and then raised his voice: "Your Majesty is driving in person, and the students of the academy are willing to sing to see them off, and I wish Your Majesty a triumphant return as soon as possible." ”
"Okay, just sing, Guards, don't stop, keep going!" Zhengde nodded and smiled, and then raised his hand, and the army moved slowly, and the sound of neat footsteps resounded through the long street.
"The wind blows and frosts, the seaweed withers, and the muscles are dry and strong. There are 300,000 soldiers of the Han family, and the general and leader Huo Hao Yao ......" At this moment, from a pavilion within the palace wall, suddenly a wisp of piano sounded, and then, the drum rumbled and harmonized, like the sound of the golden drum, a majestic air spontaneously rose, accompanied by a heroic song.
"The meteor white feather is inserted in the waist, and the sword flower autumn lotus light is out of the box. The heavenly soldiers shine on the snow under the jade pass, and the captured arrows shoot golden armor like sand. The clouds, dragons, winds and tigers are all handed back, and the enemy can be destroyed when Taibai enters the moon. The enemy can be destroyed, the head is destroyed, and the intestines of the beard are involved in the blood. Hanging Hu in the sky, buried next to Hu Zisai. ”
The music composed by Yang Rebel is very in tune with Li Taibai's song "Hu No Man", which has been sung through the ages, and fits the current atmosphere, whether it is the listeners, singers, or the soldiers in the middle, they all feel fierce and proud.
"Hu no one, Han Daochang ......" The lyrics are about to end, and the mind is not at peace, at this moment, a shout suddenly came from the front of the queue: "Kill Hu Er Han Daochang!" ”
"Kill Hu Erhan Daochang!"
"The emperor is victorious, kill all the Hulu!"
"May the emperor return triumphantly as soon as possible!"
The Han song was loud, the emperor was mighty, the crowd boiled all at once, and the atmosphere reached its peak.
In the face of the earth-shattering shout, the fiery figure raised his right arm high, clenched his fist in one fist, and then, facing the north, a middle finger Huo Ran raised up, and the contempt was clear at a glance.
Then, tens of thousands of soldiers in the march raised their arms neatly, and then neatly imitated their leader; Then, the students of the academy and the people watching stood up with hundreds of thousands of middle fingers, and a forest seemed to be born in the capital.
Except for Zhengde himself, no one knows what the meaning of this action is, everyone only knows that this is a declaration of victory issued by the emperor, and at the same time, it also expresses his contempt for the Tartars.
The Han song was loud and loud, and with the belief of victory and the entrustment of the people, the young guards embarked on the journey.
