Chapter 120: Triumphant Return

Since the Dragon Boat Festival and more than 20 days, there are no major events in the Dashun Dynasty. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 There are 12 ministers in the cabinet who try their best to handle government affairs, and there are 6 ministries to assist the government affairs.

The new style of galloping recorded in the "Dashun Minbao" did not attract much attention. In recent days, the emergence of many new things, so that the people of the Great Shun Dynasty have trained extremely strong nerves, for this kind of things, has become commonplace, no wonder, who knows if this is not the little emperor on a whim to make things? It's just to add some after-dinner conversations, and what people are most concerned about is that the forbidden army attacking Youzhou in the north will return to Beijing immediately.

It's a big event! Since Wenzong, the Great Shun Dynasty has lost few militarily and won more, and even if it wins, it is only a small victory. Where is it like this time, more than 8,000 beheadings and more than 16,000 prisoners are simply a huge victory for the outside world!

Of course, there are also people who are worried that the Khitans have suffered a big loss this time, and it is likely that they will raise their swords and sharpen their swords again. Some people also think that there is no need to be afraid, since Dashun can defeat the Khitans once, he will definitely be able to defeat the Khitans a second time.

As early as five days ago, Cui Jie'an, the envoy of the Goryeo Kingdom, once again came to Dashun Kyoto, Chang'an City. Cui Jie'an repeatedly asked to see Lu Chengqi, but he was politely refused, and what he said was that the government was busy and had no time to summon him. Lu Chengqi asked the Goryeo delegation to stay at the Tongbunkan in Anju Lane, which made the Goryeo ambassador Choi Jie-an feel very uneasy. In the past, when the Goryeo Kingdom came to the court, or in the Zhanyun Pavilion, or in the Huaiyuan Station, where did you live in the Tongwen Pavilion!

These inns are famous, and Cui Jie'an has a deep understanding of the Central Plains culture, so he naturally knows the connotation inside. Generally speaking, hostile countries are arranged to the Duting North Post or the Duting West Station; If the vassal state comes to the court, it will be arranged to be in Zhanyunguan or Huaiyuanyi; When a hostile vassal state comes to court, it is in the protocol; And the neutral country came to the court, and it was in this Tongwen Museum.

What is the message of this? Cui Jie'an didn't dare to think about it, he had already guessed that Dashun was not without capable people, and he had already been clear about the small methods of the Goryeo envoys. Otherwise, Dashun, who is the most important courtesy, how could he arrange the ambassador group of the Goryeo State like this?

Every time he thinks about the depths, Cui Jie'an feels a little uneasy. For the behemoth of Dashun, the Goryeo Kingdom is really daunting, and it can't raise the slightest idea of confrontation. Since Dashun's attitude is so ambiguous, how can Goryeo deal with itself? Cui Jie'an has begun to suspect that the strategic decision to change the suzerainty is a mistake, he thought that Dashun was just an old tiger with lost teeth, but he was just a lion who had not woken up yet!

Just when Cui Jie'an was uneasy in the Tongwen Pavilion, a fast horse galloped into the city, and the City Defense Division did not dare to stop it. It is all because there is a small flag on it, and it is written "Pegasus Express".

It turned out that this was the good news of the victory of the forbidden army, and Lu Chengqi was quite excited when he learned about it. According to etiquette, he summoned Feng Chengping, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to prepare for the forbidden army.

After a busy day's preparation, it was not until noon on the second day that it was ready. This is all because the Great Shun Dynasty has not won such a big battle for too long, and the ceremony of sacrificing prisoners has almost been forgotten. Feng Chengping, the secretary of the Ministry of Etiquette, also understood what to do after checking the etiquette.

First of all, it is necessary to set up a royal guard on the Daqing Hall one day in advance, and the emperor will announce the fate of the prisoners. Secondly, on the day of the surrender of prisoners, on both sides of the royal street, the forbidden army, the horse army, and the infantry army should be lined up on both sides to show military prestige.

After the miscellaneous preparations are completed, there is no need for the "Dashun Minbao" to be published, the people in Chang'an City have spread the word of mouth, and they all know that the forbidden army of Youzhou in the north is going to return to Beijing, so on this day, regardless of the old and young, the merchant shopkeeper Xiaoer butcher, lined up at the city gate early in the morning, competing to see the excitement.

Fortunately, there are forbidden troops to maintain order, restrain the residents, and do not allow them to climb up to watch, and they are not allowed to dress unneatly. Men are to wear their shirts and girdles; Women are to wear their dresses and carry their children on their backs, and they are not allowed to run around. The door of the building was closed the day before, and on the day when the City Defense Department strictly checked the comings and goings, no one of unknown origin was allowed to disrupt the ceremony of sacrificing prisoners.

The three divisions of the forbidden army, 6,000 soldiers and 200 soldiers under the command of the commander, were distributed in the alleys to maintain order. On the fifth watch of this day, the city defense division on the ground began to expel the miscellaneous people along the gate, waiting for the arrival of the honor guard.

Before noon, the royal dragon chariot slowly drove out of the Xuande Gate, led by the lead of the royal horse, and pulled the dragon chariot out slowly. Next to him, he followed the civil and military officials and went to the Mingde Gate, the main gate of Chang'an City, to meet the forbidden army who returned triumphantly.

And from the moment the royal car drove out of the Xuande Gate, a fast horse galloped out of the spacious Chang'an City Street, rushed to the forbidden army stationed outside the city, and told Wang Shao that His Majesty was ready to come to meet them for their triumphant return.

These forbidden troops have actually returned to Chang'an City a long time ago. Wang Shao is not stupid, he knows how to notify Lu Chengqi in advance, and let him get a prisoner sacrifice ceremony to boost morale and win the hearts of the people. Therefore, when he was closer to Chang'an City, Wang Shao walked too slowly, and last night he also camped five miles away from Chang'an City, waiting for Lu Chengqi's holy decree to summon.

Early in the morning, the forbidden army had already loaded and unloaded their tents and was ready to return to Chang'an City to enjoy the enthusiasm of the people for heroes. But the Ministry of Rites was too slow to do things, and it was not until noon that the prisoner sacrifice ceremony could be completed, so that the more than 20,000 forbidden troops had to wait for some gains and losses.

Hearing the call of the holy decree, Wang Shao hurriedly ordered the forbidden army to advance at full speed, for fear that Lu Chengqi had arrived at Mingdemen, and they had not yet arrived. In that case, it will be a big ugly one.

Fortunately, these forbidden troops have handed over most of the Khitan captives to the forbidden army base camp to guard, and only selected more than 1,000 Khitans who sold well to offer prisoners. Otherwise, with the Khitan people's lap legs, they would not be able to run fast.

Lu Chengqi was quite apprehensive in his heart, this was different from the speech in the Keju Arena, in the Royal University, he could be calm and composed. This is a grand event to declare his martial arts, and the history books will definitely record a heavy record for this matter, his performance can be described as highly anticipated, and in such a situation, it is normal to feel uneasy.

Long Yuan Kankan walked through the royal street, and when he saw the people of Chang'an City, Lu Chengqi suddenly calmed down. Learning from the appearance of the leaders of later generations, Lu Chengqi stood up from the dragon chariot and waved his hand at them, which made these anxious people burst into the most enthusiastic cheers.

Lu Chengqi said in his heart: "No wonder leaders like to use this trick, it is really the only magic weapon to win people's hearts!" Although this ceremony of sacrificing prisoners is complicated and costly, it is worth the money to receive such an effect! ”

The ten-mile long street of Chang'an City will walk for half an hour before it can be regarded as coming to Mingde Gate. And the triumphant forbidden army has already lined up, waiting for the holy car outside the Mingde Gate.

Previously, a large general had bright armor, a horse like a dragon, and he took the lead. The surrounding civil and military officials sighed: "Sure enough, it is the dragon and phoenix among people!" ”

Seeing Long Yuan coming, Wang Shao hurriedly dismounted, led by his own soldiers, and ran to Long Yuan quickly, bowed down and bowed: "The last general will see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!" ”
