PS: The second watch is seven o'clock in the evening!

February 15 of the third year of the Great Song Dynasty.

The Tianwu Army was ordered by the emperor to enter Lin'an and praise Gong.

The wind is light and rainy, and today is a great day. Yesterday, the news that the Tianwu Army was about to enter Lin'an had spread all over the streets and alleys, although they were unwilling in every way, the Taishi of the Great Song Dynasty and the Pingzhang Military State Affairs Jia Nidao also had to start from the Geling Houyuan, which had been drunk for too long, and returned to the mansion in Lin'an City, and began to summon officials from all walks of life one after another, and to greet the affairs of the Tianwu Army to the saint of today's family.

It stands to reason that this kind of soldier returning to boast of his merits should be the most popular in the suburbs of the Holy Ten Miles today, but Jia Yidao does not have such a good heart, Ye Yingwu has already taken advantage of him, and he can't let Ye Yingwu get even the slightest advantage if he says anything, so Jia Yidao did not hesitate to veto the plan of the Son of Heaven.

Fortunately, Emperor Zhao Yu of the Song Dynasty had no interest in crawling out of the pile of fat powder in the morning and running ten miles outside the city to blow the cold wind.

On that day, the Tianwu army will enter the city from Yuhang Gate in the northwest of Lin'an, and pass through Lin'an City along Lin'an Royal Street to the imperial city in the south of the city, and the Son of Heaven will be stationed at the imperial tower at the north gate of the imperial city, Hening Gate, to inspect the Tianwu army.

Although Jia Rudao really wanted the Tianwu Army to go around the city, directly from the south of the imperial city to worship heaven and earth every day, and read the Li Zhengmen of the forbidden army, so as to minimize the impact of the Tianwu Army entering Lin'an, but Jia Rudao also had to consider the people of Lin'an, after all, the folk customs of Lin'an were also inherited from Bianliang, and this possibility had not been missed for such a lively event, if the Tianwu Army entered the city from the main gate of Li, maybe the people of Lin'an would pour out of the city directly, and at that time, the people would be surrounded before and after, Ye Yingwu and the Tianwu Army would really be in the limelight, for Jia Rudao, it is really worth the loss.

In the early morning of February 15, even Zhao Yu, an official in the palace, was still sleeping with his concubine in his arms, and Lin'an was already lively, after all, for this generation, it was lively to pay tribute to heaven and earth and review the forbidden army every year, but there has never been an army that has the honor to enter Lin'an to boast!

After all, in the past hundred years, this former glorious Song Dynasty has never fought a battle worthy of making a country crazy, but it has never been a feat of annihilating 150,000 enemy troops in one fell swoop, but there has never been such a strong army of heroes, bringing hope for the life of this dynasty that has been shattered in the last days.

Now Ye Yingwu has done it, and tens of thousands of children of the Tianwu Army have done it by throwing their heads and spilling their blood, so no matter what kind of person Ye Yingwu is, no matter what kind of army the Tianwu Army is, they deserve to have this glory, and they deserve to go to Lin'an to boast of their great military exploits.

And the people of Lin'an have been tiptoeing for a long time for this grand ceremony that they have not seen for many years. It seems that even God is beautiful, the spring rain that lasted for several days stopped yesterday, and even the stagnant water on the streets has dissipated by this morning.

A spring rain is like washing away all the dust in Lin'an, quietly waiting for the hero's triumph.

When the first glimmer of dawn illuminated the glazed tiles of the Hening Gate, a soldier violently picked up the drum hammer and smashed it on the cowhide drum! The big drum on the Hening Gate sounded "bang bang" in the morning light, and Lin'an, which was gradually becoming lively, completely woke up in the drum.

The other soldiers at the gates heard the sound of the drums, and almost at the same time beat the big drum in front of them. Smoke rises in the wind, and the sound of drums echoes through the city. Along the left and right of Lin'an Royal Street, countless Lin'an people help the old and the young, walking while talking and laughing, or buying some food on the street, or greeting the neighbors who meet each other.

On the royal river, there are also painted boats and small boats connecting each other, and you can faintly hear the shouts of the women who are laughing on the railings and the loud singing voices of the boatmen who are driving the fast boats back and forth. On the shore of the bridge, there were literati and chanting their poems loudly, and the singers and dancers on the boat also took out their pipa guqin and played to the sound of chanting.

Miss Qinglou, who has never seen each other on weekdays, does not hesitate to show up at this time and show her superb talent in the cold wind. And those scholars who often wander in the Willow Lane of Thirty-six Flower Street also no longer cherish their talents. It seems that this is not the Tianwu Army's entry into Lin'an to praise their merits, but a grand ceremony for them to show their outstanding talents to the world.

The drums sounded again, and a group of forbidden soldiers drove out of the camp and maintained order along Lin'an Royal Street, and the people on the street also consciously pulled their children and the elderly and slowly retreated to the side of the road. After all, this is Lin'an Royal Street, and the emperor still has to walk through the street on weekdays, so the people of Lin'an are quite conscious of avoiding and retreating, after all, everyone knows that these well-fed and well-fed forbidden army masters are full of strength, and they don't care who you are.

When the entire royal street was cleared, a third drum beat came from the Hening Gate again. The sound of the three-way drum means that the highest place in the Great Song Dynasty - the official saint is about to leave the palace.

Even the Lin'an Forbidden Army, which usually hangs and bullies men and women, subconsciously straightens their waists at this time, after all, everyone is a man, even if they are usually a little leprosy, incorruptible and shameful, but when they see outsiders, they still have to maintain their own demeanor, right?

Although the Lin'an Forbidden Army can't go to the battlefield, they dare to call it the second when it comes to putting on a show, and see who has the ability to be the first in the world?

The sound of the drums subsided, and then the sound of the music played by the Jiaofang Division has drifted from the imperial city with the wind, Emperor Zhao Yu of the Song Dynasty took the Da'an chariot out of the palace gate, along the road hundreds of officials knocked to see the entourage, the strict array of the Sanya forbidden army from the palace city to the imperial city, Zhou Lu sat on the armor, the military curtain was bannered, before and after the column, the paging sang well, and the back and forth were like weaving.

The official Zhao Yu rode slowly to the Hening Gate, and the two eunuchs who served on the left and right opened the bead curtain, both with their heads bowed. And when the imperial master Jia Yidao, as the head of the hundred officials, he also walked to Da'an and respectfully bowed:

"Minister-Great Song Taishi, Pingzhang Military and State Affairs Jia Nidao, knock to see Your Majesty."

It's just that what shocked Jia Yidao was that there was a slight sound of snoring in Da'an, and the two eunuchs standing on both sides couldn't help but show embarrassment and helplessness on their faces. Jia Rudao's face sank, but obviously he was also experienced in a hundred battles, and this situation was not enough to scare him, so he gently stood on tiptoe and looked inside, only to see that the official Zhao Yu was tilting his head, sleeping so sweetly!

Faint laughter could already be heard around, obviously the officials were sleeping at this time, and the snoring was getting louder and louder, which was enough to cause the surrounding officials and forbidden soldiers to laugh. I thought that taking the time to doze off was just us people, but I didn't expect the official family to do it!

"Jia Xianggong, the official family ······" There was a sound of footsteps behind him, but it was the queen who was sitting in the back carriage and came in a hurry, such a grand ceremony, as a queen, she would naturally travel with the emperor. Queen Quan's maiden name is called Quan Jiu, is the granddaughter of Song Lizong's mother, Mrs. Cixian, although her appearance is not outstanding, but because she is famous and quite virtuous, so after she established herself as the crown prince and concubine, the status of the lord of the harem has never been shaken by Zhao Yu's little favor.

On the contrary, the official Zhao Yu threw off his hands like the shopkeeper, and threw the affairs of the harem to the queen and his favorite four ladies in spring, summer, autumn and winter, so that the queen was the most prestigious and unshakable existence in the eyes of many concubines in the harem.

Even if Zhao Yu overindulges in lust one night and meets Queen Quan the next day, he will carefully avoid it, which is quite a bit of a "strict wife" posture, which is quite incomprehensible and a little funny. However, it is not without a price for the queen to do this, for her husband, the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, she threw everything to Jia Rudao and herself, a woman, and only knew how to spend time and drink every day, and the queen could only turn a blind eye, and when she met a few words of advice, she went with him if she didn't meet it.

After all, Zhao Yu's eccentric personality, no one can guarantee that once he is angered, he will only get a few lazy scoldings.

"The old minister has seen the queen's mother." Jia Rudao hurriedly saluted respectfully, before such a grand ceremony, no matter how arrogant he usually was, he would not dare to be rude at this time.

When Queen Quan approached, she had already heard the snoring, and her face suddenly turned white, as if even the foundation makeup she had painted before had dissipated with it. Coughing lightly, Queen Quan immediately understood why the soldiers around her were all snickering with their heads down, and why Jia Rudao also had a helpless and embarrassed look on his face, but after all, Zhao Yu had never done any less ridiculous things, so Queen Quan gritted her teeth lightly and ordered the maid behind her to carry her straight to Da'an.

"Official, official, wake up for the time being." Queen Quan gently pushed Zhao Yu, Zhao Yu slept dizzily, couldn't help but snort twice, her head hung on Queen Quan's shoulder, and a line of saliva flowed down the corners of her mouth to the gorgeous crown.

Empress Quan couldn't help frowning, and looked back at the two eunuchs behind her: "What's going on with the official family?" Make it clear. ”

A eunuch replied helplessly and softly: "Qi Yu Niangniang, this villain has persuaded the official family, but the official family did not listen last night, and it is still ······."

"Or what?" Queen Quan looked at her husband's somewhat pale face and deep dark circles because of obvious overindulgence, and she had already vaguely guessed that it was estimated that it was a fox in the harem who couldn't bear the loneliness, and pounced on Zhao Yu when most of the concubines didn't have the courage to seduce Zhao Yu because of today's grand ceremony, no wonder Zhao Yu could still sleep so deeply at this time.

The eunuch was helpless, there were many people here, after all, it was a scandal of the official family, and it was not good to say it loudly, so he stepped forward and muttered softly twice, the queen's face sank, and said in a cold voice: "It's just a few nameless foxes, come back and settle accounts with them, Your Majesty doesn't care about the palace on weekdays, but today's big event can't allow them to make trouble!" ”

"Who, who is making trouble, help me quickly! I want to see the excitement! Zhao Yu, who had been leaning on the shoulder of Queen Quan, didn't know how he heard this sentence, so he woke up in an instant, and his hands clapped wildly, "Quick, go and see the excitement!" ”

Queen Quan showed a helpless expression, and could only take the handkerchief handed by the female official and help Zhao Yu wipe the saliva from the corner of her mouth, while persuading in a soft voice: "Official, don't panic in the official family, the excitement is ahead, it is the Tianwu Army that has returned from the victory in the Battle of Xiangyang to enter Lin'an to praise his merits, haven't the officials forgotten?" ”

Zhao Yu rubbed his eyes and let out a long breath: "Oh, yes, it seems that there is such a thing, this Ye Qing family has made a great contribution, protect me from the Great Song Dynasty, okay, this is lively, this is lively enough, but I don't know what is the difference between this Tianwu Army that beat the Mongols and my forbidden army, if the two sides fight a battle and divide the victory and defeat, this will be good-looking." ”

Seeing that Zhao Yu was unconsciously thinking about it, Queen Quan could only gently stretch out her hand to support her forehead. Although he knew that his husband's obvious dementia and mental retardation were not born (author's note: Zhao Yu of Duzong of the Southern Song Dynasty was born to a concubine, in order to prevent the persecution of housewives, his mother drugged to poison the baby, and was saved in time, but because of fright and drugs, he grew up with intellectual disability and a slight dementia), but being able to marry such a husband, even if it is a mother's world, it is quite a headache and sadness.

At that moment, Queen Quan didn't explain too much, a trace of amazement appeared between her eyebrows, she could only see what she couldn't see, and walked down Da'an Yuan quickly, raising her sleeves to hide the wet marks of Zhao Yu's saliva on the inside of her shoulders, and smiled bitterly at Jia Rudao: "Let Jia Xianggong see and laugh." ”

Jia Rudao waved his hand slightly, still quite respectful: "Is it saintly an, can you go to the city gate?" ”

Glancing at the two frightened eunuchs behind her, Queen Quan hurriedly replied: "Holy bow, it is feasible." ”

"Da Anlin, get on!" There is no need for the two eunuchs to shout, Jia Rudao has already done it for him, this old man who has been in charge of the Song Dynasty for decades is standing in the wind, his face is sinking like water, and the queen who is watching it also subconsciously shuddered.

"Let's go!" The cavalry leading the way shouted loudly and continued to slowly urge the horses.

And Jia Rudao quickly returned to the hundreds of officials who were whispering, coughed lightly, and suddenly there was silence around him. Weng Yinglong, who was his left arm and right arm, took two steps forward: "Xianggong, isn't there something wrong with the official?" That's the best. ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Jia Rudao's mouth, and he didn't mean to hide it from his cronies who helped manage everything: "The old man hopes that the official family will be well, but the daughter of the whole family is also a little scheming, and when she sees the old man's meaning, she doesn't want the old man to fulfill his wish!" ”

Weng Yinglong couldn't help but pout: "Wasn't this queen mother very honest before, the daughter of the remnants of Ding Daquan's party back then, can she still want to go against Xianggong, according to his subordinates, maybe it's because of short-sightedness and can't see through Xianggong's mind." ”

"If that's the case, thank goodness." Jia Rudao's eyes became deeper and deeper, "It's just that not everything in this world is what people want, before going out of the city every year to worship and review the forbidden army, the daughter of the whole family has always rarely appeared, but today she made a chariot early and followed behind Da'an, and came forward to comfort the official family so actively, it is clear that you can see what clues are there today."

"I hope she's just worried about the official family." A fierce look flashed in Weng Yinglong's eyes, "If you want to do anything wrong to Xianggong, then we can't show mercy." After all, she is the master of the harem, not an ordinary woman. ”

Waving his hand, Jia Rudao muttered: "Don't worry about her for now, a weak woman can't make any waves without the help of outsiders." The Tianwu army entered the city to boast about its merits, you don't mess up the old man for such a big thing, and the stumbling block should also be laid. ”

Weng Yinglong smiled lightly: "The subordinates are doing things, and the husband can rest assured." But he Ye Yingwu is very comfortable. The Tianwu Army may still be able to be majestic in Xiangyang, but when it comes to Lin'an, we have to see who has the final say. It's just that Xianggong has no plans, and what should happen next? ”

The two talked in a low voice, and had already walked to the Hening Gate, and the forbidden soldiers not far away bowed at the same time, and a thin figure appeared in the field of vision, wearing a crown of heaven, wearing a silk royal robe, and a golden belt around the waist of the Song Emperor Zhao Yu slowly walked down the Da'an Yuan.

Weng Yinglong just glanced at it, but he couldn't help laughing, it turned out that Zhao Yu's crown was already crooked, if it wasn't for the strap still being tied, I'm afraid it would have fallen to the ground a long time ago. Queen Quan, who walked down from the carriage behind, was also shocked when she saw it, and she left in a hurry from Da'an, but she forgot that the official family's Tongtian crown was already crooked because it was leaning on her shoulder.

But fortunately, the eunuch on the side was quick-eyed, and after hearing the low laughter, he noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhao Yu straighten the crown belt.

"Your Majesty." Headed by Jia Yidao, hundreds of officials bowed down and were orderly.

After all, Zhao Yu, an official family, has no proper shape, and hundreds of officials still have to be faced, and these inevitable etiquettes are neat and meticulous.

Zhao Yu obviously hasn't woken up yet, if it weren't for the queen who came over and helped her in time, I'm afraid it would be another stumbling. But fortunately, he has also been an emperor for three years, and he has rarely seen such a big scene, but he has not seen it, and he said loudly at the moment:

"Zhu Qing is flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jia Rudao took the lead and replied respectfully.

Watching Zhao Yu and Quan Hou slowly walk towards the city gate, Jia Rudao looked around, except for Weng Yinglong, Liu Mengyan, Chen Yizhong, Jia Yuqing, etc., all around him were his cronies, so he lowered his voice and said to Weng Yinglong: "The concubines you bought yesterday in the palace are all carefully disposed of, don't leak the news, and don't let the queen notice." ”

"But the prime minister promised to rescue them······" Weng Yinglong was stunned.

Jia Rudao smiled coldly: "Rescued? Look at the good things they have done, even if they don't keep the official family, they still cause so many incidents in vain, just because they still want to get out of the palace, they are foolish and dreamy. What's more, don't forget, they know too much, and in this harem, it's not all of us. ”

Weng Yinglong didn't dare to slack off, he hurriedly responded, and secretly scolded himself for negligence in his heart, it stands to reason that Xianggong shouldn't worry about such things personally.

"Let's go, go to town." Jia Rudao said in a deep voice, and the hundred officials behind him had silently followed his back. (To be continued.) )
