In the first year of Yaoqi, March 28, it is appropriate to marry and funeral, and it is forbidden to move.

Since the war report from Liaodong came, the entire capital has been very lively, but the most lively day is to be regarded as today, because this day is going to be sacrificed at noon.

Although there is a saying of early spring in March, the winter in the capital does not seem to have passed, and the cold wind is blowing on the 1st, and the villages on both sides of the road are bare. However, there are some differences, some trees can already see a little greenery, and some small grass has grown on the ground. Perhaps in such a bad mood, this weed is the most vigorous.

Although it is still a little cold, the whole capital has been lively since the morning, it is cold, and it is hot in the heart! The whole city of Beijing is now full of bustle, every household, up to the princes and nobles, down to the big businessmen, and then to the small people at the bottom are very happy, more excited than the New Year.

All the people who entered the street were waiting to see the noon prisoners of today, and the taverns and teahouses along the street were already full. The best storyteller was invited to the teahouse, and he also talked about the victory in Liaodong.

The same is true for the guests in the tavern, and all of them are talking about one thing, that is, "Liaodong Victory" and "Offering Prisoners at Noon".

All the streets, paths, and even small alleys in the capital are full of lights, and you can see some small officials of the Ministry of Rites busy back and forth. Countless people are busy, and they are all looking forward to the moment, which is not just a simple victory. This is since the Wanli Emperor defeated the Japanese Kou, another noon gate to offer prisoners, which made many people see hope, hoping that Emperor Yaoqi will work hard and prosper the Ming Dynasty.

"Offering prisoners at noon", the emperor personally greeted him, no one dared to be sloppy in such a thing, and since Salhu, the Ming Dynasty has not been able to raise its head outside. This time I finally have the opportunity to raise my eyebrows, and this etiquette must be meticulous. This is also a great event that will deter foreign countries and make all nations surrender.

Jiannu, who was strong for a while, also returned with a big defeat this time, which is to tell the surrounding small countries that the kingdom of the upper kingdom is not something you can invade. If you don't get into it, you can provoke it, and once you get angry, the consequences can be very serious.

"Ladies and gentlemen! DID YOU KNOW. This Shenyang battle is terrible! Sun Chengzong and Sun Supervisor, that is the birth of Zhuge Wuhou. I can watch the stars at night, and I can pinch it! Put tens of thousands of Jiannu into Shenyang City, and this Sun Shaobao is in Shenyang City. That night was a sudden change in color, and it is said that a loud noise was heard in a hundred miles of Shenyang City. It was one sound after another, and every thunder would kill countless Jiannu o! A storyteller didn't seem to find the teahouse, so he set up a table on the pavement and tapped it lightly.

"This Jiannu is very brave, but in front of Sun Shaobao, it is nothing. That night. "This kind of storytelling is everywhere, but each version is different!

At the east end of the capital, in a teahouse with dozens of houses, guests gathered, and thousands of successes and failures were all listening to Mr. Storyteller talk about the Liaodong War.

Looking at the tall city in front of him, Sun Chengzong smiled indifferently and said with emotion: "General He, Ben Shuai has only been gone for a long time, and he is back this time." ”

He Shixian, who was sitting on the horse, was dressed in a military uniform at this time, with a meticulous helmet and armor on his body, and a brand-new blood-red cloak behind him, looking heroic, he hugged his fists at Sun Chengzong, and said loudly: "When the handsome left the capital, it was ordered, and this time it was also ordered, but this time it was very different!" ”

Looking at He Shixian, who was dressed brightly, Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "General He, Ben Shuai told you that if Ben Shuai was you, he would never wear it like this." What about the armor you used to fight? It's the one you've been shot at several times. ”

"This handsome, it's the first time I've seen the emperor in a humble position, isn't this?" Suddenly, He Shixian slapped his head violently, saluted Sun Chengzong, and said loudly: "Oops! Humble and confused, thank you for the point! ”

"It's coming!" A fast horse galloped through the streets of the capital, shouting as it entered the horse. After hearing the shouting, all the people quickly gathered on both sides of the street.

In the cold wind, a pair of neat soldiers and horses, murderous, stretching for several miles, mighty and majestic, escorting countless prisoners at the same time, with a neat guard of honor, standing tall on the huge official road. On both sides of the official road, all the standing are royal forest soldiers, and there is no trace of it. It seems to welcome this army and sound the gong to open the way.

On both sides of the official road, there were hundreds of people standing, as well as businessmen, shouting like a landslide and tsunami. Some of them picked up stones from the ground and threw them at the large captives in the ranks, cursing incessantly.

There was no such thing as a stop, but a person knocked down a prisoner, and suddenly there were cheers from all around. Amid the howling of thousands of people, the cold wind became warm.

Countless officials of the Ministry of Rites are running back and forth on the official roads of the capital to deliver news, and they are busy like ants.

At this time, at the huge noon gate, hundreds of civil and military officials were standing on both sides, six Shangshu, Shilang, Wailang, etc., all lined up several miles away. At the same time, there are also many envoys from various countries who are sightseeing, and they are also separated by the Imperial Forest Army under the civil and military officials, so that they can admire the military might of the triumphant dynasty.

Emperor Yaoqi wore a dragon robe and robe, and took the public opinion out of the inner palace. When driving, the bell rings at noon; When you arrive at Taihe Gate, you will play golden drums and cymbals. The emperor arrived at noon in front of the gate, along the horse road, the royal tower ascended.

I don't know if it was rehearsed or what was going on, Emperor Yaoqi had just kicked the door in the morning, and a team of prisoners had already appeared in the distance. At this time, Sun Chengzong, who was walking in the front, was wearing a python robe, riding on a horse, and laughing at the people on both sides of the road from time to time.

It was He Shixian, the chief soldier of Shenyang, who was wearing blood-stained armor at this time, and the cloak behind him was also tattered, as if only half of it was left. With a big knife on his waist, his face is hideous, and he looks like a general of a hundred battles. When many people saw him, they quickly retreated, and some of them sighed, this is the real battlefield general.

The whole team slowly advanced under the attention of the crowd, just one step, and then some of them stopped in place, and finally only Sun Chengzong and He Shixian really came to the front of the house, as well as several generals and guerrillas who followed them.

At this time, a person walked out slowly, came to the front of the crowd, and stood beside Sun Chengzong, this entry is Yao Zongwen, the secretary of the Ministry of War. In fact, according to the rules, he should stand in front of Sun Chengzong, but whether it is an official position or a holy family, Sun Chengzong is the same for a while. Although Yao Zongwen was a member of the Donglin Party, he did not have the courage to stand in front of Sun Chengzong.

Under the leadership of Sun Chengzong and Yao Zongwen, all the people standing in front of the door knelt down, and Yao Zongwen, the secretary of the military department, said loudly: "Sacrifice prisoners!" ”

As soon as Yao Zongwen's words fell, the surrounding Imperial Forest Army shouted loudly: "Sacrifice prisoners!" At the same time, the spear in his hand squatted violently on the ground, three times in a row, and suddenly the whole square was filled with harmony.

But soon the sound was suppressed, because as soon as Yao Zongwen's words fell, the drum music that had been prepared for a long time rang out. Then there was the salute on one side, and the roar of the salute silenced the whole noon in front of the gate.

After the salute was fired, the ceremonial officer standing aside said loudly: "Salute!" The Guards, who were standing not far away, brought the captive over and made him kneel on the ground. In fact, there were only three hundred of these captives, and they were speechless.

Yao Zongwen, the secretary of the military department, once again played loudly: "I was ordered to go to Liaodong, and the prisoners I have captured, I would like to present your majesty, please order." ”

As soon as Yao Zongwen's words fell, Sun Chengzong, who was kneeling on the side, said loudly: "Minister Sun Chengzong, he is ordered to beg for thieves, Lai Wu Huang is gracious, and he joins the Liaodong army, fortunately he does not disgrace his mission." In the battle of Shenyang City, the enemy's first 10,000 soldiers were beheaded and more than 7,000 were captured. Today, I will dedicate the enemy chief to the noon gate and listen to the fall of my emperor! ”

At this time, the other person who was standing on the side walked out quickly, and this person was Ying Zhen, the secretary of the Criminal Department. Coming to the door of the noon gate, Guan Yingzhen knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Go to the city to execute Cao, please order!" ”

Standing on the top of the noon gate, Emperor Yaoqi smiled and watched the performances below, because he didn't know what these people were talking about. just saw Guan Yingzhen kneeling down, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have his own business at this time, so he waved his hand and said loudly: "Take it!" ”

The ministers around Emperor Yaoqi entered the second and repeatedly shouted: "Take it!" Then he shouted left and right: "Take it!" In this way, one increased to two, two to four, four to eight, eight to sixteen, and finally the Han general and other three hundred and sixty people shouted in unison: "Take it!" "The sound was as loud as thunder.

Then the three hundred captives were taken away, and there was only one end waiting for them, and that was to be beheaded. The time of the execution was after the sacrifice of prisoners, and the place was at the entrance of the vegetable market, which was much expected. Blood spills out, and it falls to the ground, which may be what many people want to see.

At this time, all the people were waiting, and Emperor Yaoqi slowly walked down the door, followed by Chen Hong, who was holding the holy decree.

Slowly coming to Sun Chengzong's side, Emperor Yaoqi said with a smile: "Mr. went to Liaodong in person, and there was such a great victory in the tenth month. He personally came to greet him and drank a glass of celebratory wine with all the soldiers. He beckoned to the eunuch behind him, and Emperor Yaoqi said loudly: "Serve the wine!" ”

The eunuch standing behind Emperor Yaoqi immediately ran over and poured wine for the generals present, while Emperor Yaoqi picked up the wine jug and personally poured a glass of wine for Sun Chengzong.

Gently raising the wine glass in his hand, Emperor Yaoqi said loudly: "All Aiqing are bloodied on the battlefield, they are the heroes of the Ming Dynasty, and this glass of wine is a celebration wine I gave you." After speaking, Emperor Yaoqi drank the wine in one gulp
