The warm sun in May is sprinkled on the ground, revealing a piece of golden light, but it is the spring rain last night and the spring rain overnight, soaking the land, the farmers have praised, this year will be a good year, spring rain, spring sun, is exactly what all things need. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The people in the city do not have such a deep experience, but on both sides of Zhuque Street in Chang'an City, the locust trees are moistened by the spring rain, more verdant, swaying in the wind, and the huge umbrella cover welcomes the people to go to the shade and enjoy the shade at any time.

The locust tree has always been liked by the people, its appearance is prosperous, it is the representative of the government, and now, the locust tree of Chang'an, also open its arms, welcome travelers from afar.

In today's Chang'an, Suzaku Street was closed for half a day. Suzaku Street is the main road of Chang'an, and Chang'an has the central axis, corresponding to the Vermilion Bird Gate of the Imperial City and the Mingde Gate of the outer city. Will the streets be closed? Who has such a big face, is it the emperor?

Li Chen said that he doesn't do this himself, and every time he goes out on patrol, he has to close the streets, which is troublesome. Is there a decoration in the sandwich road, unless you really want to go far away, who will take Suzaku Street?

However, what is very special is that today Mingde Gate is not allowed to enter and exit, and can only enter and exit from the side of Qixia and Anhua Gate, but the people are not dissatisfied. On the contrary, today both sides of Suzaku Street are crowded with people, each dressed up as if it were the New Year.

Crowds poured in from both sides, along Suzaku Street, lined up in two rows, and saw Suzaku Street, which was as wide as 100 steps, crowded with people on both sides, and there was about 40 steps left in the middle of the street.

Both sides are even more crowded, the heads of people are moving, boundless, even in the square there are people poking their heads out, some climb on the wall of the square, some climb on the tree. It was so lush that the locust tree seemed to be unable to stand the torture, and its waist was about to bend down. However, the waist was not bent, the trunk was not broken, the branches were broken a lot, and many people fell from the tree screaming, crushing the people below. The officials of the Shuntian Mansion had to use arrowheads, bows and arrows to scare some of the people down from the trees, otherwise they would have to cause more casualties.

Suzaku Street is crowded, and the black pressure is overwhelming, all the way to the front of Suzaku Gate. The people helped the old and the young, and under the obstruction of a group of officials and forbidden soldiers, on both sides of the street, adults laughed and looked forward to it, and children played around at the feet of adults, which attracted bursts of cheers from time to time.

Finally, in the midst of the noise of gongs and drums, the Mingde Gate opened, and first of all, a group of performers took the lead, and they performed various performances against the background music, which immediately attracted bursts of cheers.

Then, a few oxen pulled carts, four-wheeled carts, a platform was set up on it, and several artists were performing, and then on both sides of the stage, there were musicians playing various musical instruments, which was very lively.

The performance on the cart is very simple, not complicated, only repeatedly describing how the Tubo people oppressed the people in Longxi, how they abused them, and how the Tubo people regarded the Han people as pigs and dogs, and beat and scolded them at every turn.

Then the second car, the Tang people counterattacked, first of all, the Tang army under the banner of the Shence Army, with less grams, with less and more, with a small number of people to defeat the Tubo people, this stage is relatively large, a small number of red jackets to get the Tang Army, to defend instead of attacking, and finally counterattack, the killed Tubo people knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

The third act is to tell how Shazhou resisted, this car is more exciting, a total of the third and fourth cars, all describe this, the third car is how Zhang Yichao gathered troops, drilled troops, and finally expelled the Tubo people. The fourth car depicts the arrival of the Tibetan army, how Zhang Yichao strategized, and defeated the Tubo people with eight formations and fire ox formations.

Today is the day when the elders of Longxi enter Beijing, and the original plan was to come in through the gate and let them go to Daming Palace to worship.

However, it is probably because the publicity effect was too good before, and this kind of thing is too legendary, so the people of Chang'an are very interested.

The imperial court did not keep it a secret about the father's and elders' group entering Beijing, and not everything had to be kept secret until home, and there was really nothing to hide about this kind of thing. As a result, according to the Jinyi report, the streets and alleys, teahouses and wine shops, everyone is talking about things to visit when the time comes.

The number of people talking about it, after the statistics, scared Jinyi. According to rough estimates, there will be about 100,000 people in Chang'an to come and see.

Chang'an is a metropolis with a population of one million, 100,000 people, almost one-tenth. One-tenth of the people of Chang'an want to watch it that day? Just kidding, Tonghuamen is usually crowded enough, and then squeezed into the Jinjian group, and 100,000 people, it is not paralyzed. More importantly, what is good about a stampede?

Now Li Chen paid attention to it, and asked a few prime ministers what to do. It was proposed that the streets be closed. Don't go through the Tonghua Gate, go out of the far door and come in.

In fact, it is easier to open a far gate from Longxi to the west, and it was originally a consideration to let the elders of Longxi see the most lively Tonghua Street in Chang'an. Because of its convenience, Tonghua Gate has always been a big gateway in and out of Chang'an, and there are many carriage and horse shops outside the door, and the end is very lively.

Now it is still back to the original, walking away from the door, and then closing a few nearby streets in advance, so that people are not allowed to approach, reducing the flow of people. Someone seconded the proposal that there were too many people near Tonghua Gate, which was difficult to control, and it was relatively deserted to open far away, so it was much easier to control.

The minister thought that it would be better to take Suzaku Street. Li Deyu shook his head and said, "Such a big event, why cover it up, since the people are happy, they should make a big show to revive the majesty of the court and the hope of the saints." Show the world that Zhengshuo is located, and after a hundred years of falling behind the enemy, the fathers and elders of Longxi have not forgotten their homeland, let alone other regions. This matter should not be concealed, it is better to change it to Suzaku Street and open the Taiji Palace, which is wide and long enough. Enough to accommodate the people, as long as the arrangement is done in advance, there is no risk of trampling. ’

Li Chen also felt reasonable, Li Deyu deserved to be Li Deyu, and he clearly grasped why he wanted to publicize the matter of Longxi at the beginning, if he was hiding it now and not allowing the people to watch it, why did he work so hard at the beginning. It was decided immediately that today's parade was born?!

When a few carts passed, it was the representative of the Shence Army, and the Shence Army Gao Biao brought back, about 3,000 people, and the Shence Army Zuo Yuhou and the first army. Just as a representative of the city, he was inspected by the people.

I saw Gao Yu riding his horse first, followed by several neat infantry phalanxes, a large group of fifty people, forming a small square.

The shining armor shone in the sun, and the sergeant's spear was bright, reflecting the spring sun in the sky, as if it was more dazzling than the sun.

What shocked the people even more was that they lined up in a phalanx, no matter which row, they were all neat and tidy, looking at the past was a line, the people close to the imperial city leaned back, the people near the Mingde Gate looked forward, or walked in front of them in a horizontal row, all in a straight line. Even the most conspicuous team flag is a line from beginning to end.

They walked in unison, although there were thousands of people, but there was only one voice, and when they stepped on it, no matter how loud the sound of heaven and earth, no matter how loud the sound of musical instruments and cheers, they could not suppress that pace.

Everyone's faces were serious, their spears and shields were slightly raised, and the crossbowmen were also holding the crossbows diagonally to the sky, with a calm and calm atmosphere, which made people feel chilled, and they were so powerful and majestic that they were an army.

'The man is determined to be on the battlefield, the horse leather shroud is heroic, Jin Ge waves the sun and the moon, and the iron horse gallops on the hill. The head can be broken, the blood can flow, the Tang Dynasty cannot be mourned, puff up the chest and sing, singing the victory movement. ’

Suddenly, a burst of military songs came out of the mouths of this group of soldiers, singing the military songs that Li Chen had learned, and he forgot the name, and after slightly correcting a few words, the chorus sang out in this field, and the majestic singing voice overpowered the drum music, resounding all over the world.

Simple tunes, easy-to-understand lyrics, after repeated a few times, it was learned by the people, many enthusiastic people, regardless of youth, prime, old age, all sang along, Guanzhong men, has always been a hot-blooded man, the old Qin, go to the national disaster together, not an empty word.

Throughout the street, more and more people sang this military song, and the soldiers of the Zuo Yu Hou Army of the Left Army of Shence had straighter chests and sharper spears. At this moment, Wei Da was also among them, and suddenly, he understood, understood what an army had to do, that is, to protect the family and defend the country. In the past, in the army, he was known as a guide and speaker, and the truth was repeatedly instilled, but at this moment, he understood it like never before.

And behind them, followed by a group of people, they are the fathers and elders of Longxi, with a few cars of gifts behind them, and also followed the group of Shence soldiers into the city, they were greeted by the city full of Tang Tianwei, as well as the big girl, the little daughter-in-law, threw flowers and silks at them, and warmly welcomed the wanderer home. At this moment, they burst into tears.

This is Chang'an, this is Datang, we are back, they have not forgotten this country for a day, even if they fall into the deep darkness, they are still full of expectations, now, all their hopes have been fulfilled, they have not forgotten Datang, why did Datang forget them?

In the rain, a group of people came to the front of the palace city, today's Taiji Palace, bright as new, in order to meet this day, the Taiji Palace has been cleaned up fiercely, inside and out, but people are busy. The outer city of Taiji Palace, there are many imperial court institutions, in fact, people come and go every day, today it has been specially cleaned, the white square, not to mention the light can be seen, it is also clean.

After the imperial city outside, you will arrive at the real core of Taiji Palace, Taiji Palace Palace, Li Chen paraded troops in the square in front of the palace. inspected this majestic army with the ministers, so that many courtiers who had never seen it were surprised, and the court had such a soldier and horse quietly. Suddenly, everyone has a lot of expectations for Datang, maybe Datang really has another day.

Compared with the surprise of the courtiers, there were others who were even more surprised, but not to mention for the time being, Li Chen was not only a military parade in the square in front of the palace, but also a medal, and a medal was given to the soldiers who participated in the war.

This medal is not only an honor, but also a guarantee. Those who receive the medal can have a series of privileges, such as not kneeling before the official, being exempt from some punishment, and even being exempted from sin, which can be used to offset the murder of someone.

What makes them even more excited is that there are also a series of aftermath events, such as retirement in the future, and how many acres of land they can be granted. More can be obtained on a per-person basis.

There is also a future to pass away, there is no need to worry about the cemetery, Li Chen plans to establish the Tang Army Cemetery. It's not a martyr's shrine, it's a Tang military cemetery.

Of course there will be a martyr's shrine, this is absolutely necessary, Li Chen is ready, and now they will bring back the ashes of their fallen comrades, and they can be enshrined another day.

The Tang Army Cemetery is a place for those who did not die on the spot, but also enjoyed meritorious service and won the army, and stayed after death. The specifications are equivalent to the martyrs' shrine, and the annual sacrifice is also absolutely guaranteed. He was going to build it near his own burial ground.

This place, since it is of high standard, it is not something that anyone can enter, and there is no meritorious service for the country, even if it is a high-ranking official, you don't have to think about it. Of course, they may not be rare, but for the common people, they are definitely very honorable.

Of course, there will be different levels of treatment for different levels of medals. It's not just a medal, there are many privileges. All of the above are basic. Even in order to encourage joining the army, promotion will be taken into account in the future, and if a soldier has made great contributions, he will be transferred to a political officer after retirement, and he will have an advantage in promotion.

Li Chen hopes that this can reverse some of the Tang Dynasty's gradual trend of emphasizing literature over martial arts, and find the kind of scholars who were both civil and military from the early Tang Dynasty to the middle of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, how many pens were put in the Tang Dynasty, from the poet Rong Debiansai, to now they are gone.

After receiving the medals, the soldiers left the field in unison, and a feast awaited them. Seeing their excited faces, Li Chen smiled. Why did the Tang Dynasty pay more and more attention to literature and light on martial arts? Why is there less and less people going to join the army?

It's very simple, how glorious it is to be admitted to the top prize and praise the official on the street. And what about the military? can only be a soldier slave, originally glorified as a servant in the capital, and then an adult family became a domestic slave thug.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Taizong still attached great importance to it, and even personally inspected it, what a glory this is, and in the back, from being able to see the Son of Heaven in person, to becoming a slave of others, what a gap.

Li Chen wants to regain the glory of the soldiers of the early Tang Dynasty and give them respect and glory again. This kind of glory is not unique to literati, and martial artists also have a bright future. Facts have proved that when that dynasty began to stir up the moths, began to emphasize literature over martial arts, and when noble literature was light on martial arts, there would always be problems slowly, and now they have to be reversed.

Then, Li Chen met with the group of fathers and elders, and there was a dinner party in the Taiji Palace that day, which made this group of homecoming wanderers feel very excited.

The same dinner party took place thousands of miles away from Chang'an. The gorgeous clothes are dancing and dancing, and the music played by the musicians on the side has a feeling that the color is not charming, the people are fascinated, the wine is not intoxicating, and the people are drunk.

'Brothers, everyone will give me good food and drink today, and I must have fun, and if I don't have fun, I won't save face. ’

'Thank you, Shaolang-kun. "Thank you, General," and in the spacious hall, there were more than a dozen people, each with a red face and hot ears, a big shirt, and one or two prostitutes in his arms, and in the center of the main hall, Ding'er, who loved to hit people with a slingshot, sat on the main seat, and was beckoning everyone to have fun.

He resisted the urge to pull out the slingshot in his arms to hit the group of dancing girls, beckoned everyone, and then his mind drifted into the distance again, it was just an ordinary night. (To be continued.) )
