Chapter 8: The Sacrificial Ceremony
Seeing this result, Liu Chang finally breathed a sigh of relief, his acting skills were really useful. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
A storm caused by a dog calmed down for the time being, and the ministers stopped discussing the topic.
Qin Daofu, the right prime minister of the Yuanyuan Pavilion, said: "Your Majesty, the hour is almost up, all the sacrificial supplies are ready, and you can worship your ancestors." ”
Liu Zhen waved his hand and said, "Okay, get ready and go." ”
So the order went down, and all departments ran up, Zhou Biao, the general of the protector of the country, led the generals to take charge of security issues, and Zhou Biao ordered military horses, led 30,000 soldiers, and personally guarded the ancestors.
Yao Zhidong, the left prime minister of the main pavilion, and Qin Daofu, the right prime minister of the Yuanyuan Pavilion, led the civil officials respectively, ordered all the entourage, and led various sacrificial supplies.
Other ministers are on standby.
For this sacrifice, all the princes will go, including Liu Feng, the third prince, who will be sent to Ganlie Province tomorrow.
In addition, there were several princes in the field who could not come, but they sent gifts one after another.
Liu Chang, as the crown prince, is the head of the princes, riding a red-maned gale horse, with a proud face.
The Imperial Tomb is five kilometers outside the city of Baye, and it is not too far.
In addition to Baye City, Zhou Biao, the general of the protector of the country, had already arranged for 30,000 soldiers and horses to be divided into two teams, which were guarded on both sides of the road.
The emperor and empress sat in a luxurious sedan chair pulled by a two-horse carriage and were escorted in the center.
Liu Chang and a group of princes rode horses one after another, in front of the double carriage, and in front of them were strong guards.
As for the ministers, they all accompanied behind the frame of the emperor and the queen, except for the two high-ranking prime ministers on the left and right, who rode on a single carriage, and the other ministers basically rode and walked.
In such a battle, the pedestrians on the main road were cleared to the side of the road by the guards in front of them early, and the road was unimpeded.
Liu Chang stood out among the princes, glanced at his younger brothers, and a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
At this time, Liu Ye, the second prince who was riding a jujube red horse beside him, came over and said, "Big brother, is there anything fun these days, take me to play?" ”
Speaking of which, among the princes, only the second prince Liu Ye has the best relationship with the prince, and the two are relatively close, so Liu Ye often looks for the prince to have fun.
The prince shook his head and said, "I didn't find anything interesting, second brother, do you have it over there?" ”
"Big brother, I was about to tell you, I heard that Foreign Minister Lu Dingsan got two snow dogs from the north, which are extremely powerful, and I haven't seen them yet, if big brother is free, let's make an appointment to see how fierce that thing is."
Speaking of this, Liu Ye was suddenly in high spirits, he didn't like pets very much, but he had been helping the prince find fun and interesting things, so that he could please his eldest brother.
Get close to the prince, and he will be able to save his life, at least for a few more years.
These ideas are usually come up with Liu Ye and his group of fox friends and dog friends, in order to please the prince, it can be said that they have tried their best to raise more than 30 idlers in the house.
The thirty-odd people didn't do anything, so they dug out their hearts to find fun, delicious things all over the empire, and things that could make the prince happy anyway.
As for the gold, silver and jewelry, is the prince eye-catching? Is the prince short of money?
After listening, Liu Chang was overjoyed: "Snow dog, I've heard of that thing, it seems to be very powerful, one snow dog can be compared to five wolf calves." ”
"It's just that I heard that the Cambrian Empire regards the snow dog as a national treasure, how did Lu Dingsan get it?"
The Cambrian Empire, in the north, is also a powerful empire, and the people there are generally fierce, although there is not much war between the two countries at present, but the occasional small friction has not stopped.
The main thing is that the snow dog is a symbol of the Cambrian Empire, and its pure blood is extremely precious and can be worth ten thousand taels of gold.
As for Lu Dingsan, he is the foreign minister of the Feng Dynasty Empire, and he often has to negotiate with various nearby empires on behalf of the Feng Dynasty Empire, and it is true that he can get good things, but it is really unexpected to get two snow dogs.
But when I thought of the snow dog, I thought of today's dog, and looked at the third prince Liu Feng.
Liu Feng was behind, feeling Liu Chang's eyes, his face suddenly turned pale, he lowered his head and said nothing, he was afraid of the prince.
Now, forcing Liu Feng away, Liu Chang was not at ease at all, and immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Snow dog, it's very good, find a chance to get it for me and raise it." ”
"Yes, that's what I mean, big brother."
"It's just that the snow dog is valuable, I don't know if Lu Dingsan will cede it?" Liu Ye was a little worried, Lu Dingsan is a foreign minister, he naturally has good strength, eloquence is a must, and the most important thing is that Lu Dingsan is very strong.
Normally, Lu Dingsan is a person who will not give face to the prime minister, and it is very difficult.
Liu Chang snorted coldly and said, "What I want, does he dare to give it to me?" ”
Liu Chang has always been arrogant and domineering, and no one is allowed to be more arrogant and domineering than himself.
Make up your mind, two snow dogs, I want it myself.
As for how to ask for it, it's not simple, go directly to the door, you can be arrogant, and shout: "This prince wants a dog here." ”
I believe that at that time, Lu Dingsan will obediently serve the snow dog.
There were no waves all the way, just kidding, such a big battle, who dared to make trouble without opening his eyes, Zhou Biao's 30,000 army drowned people with a mouthful of spit.
Yunya Mountain, is the imperial mausoleum of the Feng Dynasty Empire, an important place to bury the ancestors, naturally there are very strict guards, usually there is a team of about 3,000 people stationed in peacetime.
The leader of the team is Ma Dayuan, the captain of the five-rank official position, Ma Dayuan is tall and big, waiting for the arrival of the emperor and the princes early.
The three thousand armor were imposing and ready for battle.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa......."
The sound of horses' hooves, from far to near, Zhou Biao's herald galloped over on horseback, and said to Ma Dayuan and others: "Ma Dayuan, please take the order, Your Majesty and all the princes can go to the road, please be ready to greet them." ”
"Yes."
After Ma Dayuan received the order, he immediately shouted to the defenders: "Your Majesty and the princes will immediately say, listen to me, you must protect the safety of Your Majesty and the princes, have you heard clearly?" ”
"Yes, General."
Get ready, Ma Dayuan should be the first to line up and guard the entrance of the imperial tomb.
Not long after, Zhou Biao was the first to arrive at the imperial mausoleum, and Ma Dayuan hurriedly bowed: "I've seen General Zhou." ”
"General Ma, you're welcome, have you done a good job of security measures here?" Zhou Biao was a very loyal general, at least loyal to the Feng Empire.
This time, he is responsible for the safety of the emperor and the princes, so he naturally has to be conscientious and responsible, and he can't make any mistakes.
Ma Dayuan bowed his head and said: "The entire imperial tomb is blocked, there is no mistake, please ask the general to investigate strictly." ”
Zhou Biao nodded and said, "Okay, prepare to welcome Your Majesty and the princes." ”
At the same time, Zhou Biao immediately instructed the generals around him: "Wang Yu, Zhou Yao." ”
"Yes."
"You two, lead two thousand military horses to guard the north of the imperial tomb, and not a single fly will let it fly by."
"Yes."
"Han Shu, Lu Xin."
"Yes."
"You two, lead 3,000 troops and horses to defend the south of the imperial tomb."
"Yes."
"Rob, Guan Zhan."
"Yes."
"You two, bring 3,000 military horses and guard the west side of the imperial tomb."
"Yes."
Zhou Biao sent out his six generals in one go, although Ma Dayuan has been guarding the imperial tomb, but he is still not at ease, so he must let his army block the surroundings of the imperial tomb.
Wang Yu, Zhou Yao, Han Shu, Lu Xin, Luo Bu, and Guan Zhan are all capable officers trained by him personally, and they are worthy of trust.
And himself, personally led an army of 20,000 to defend the direction of the east gate.
With such strict guards, it is really impossible for flies to fly over.
