Banzai!!! , "Hooray!! ""Nguyen...

With Xiao Mo, Zhang Yansheng, the Privy Envoy Dynasty, the Eight Sages Wang Tian Zheng and others, leading a group of soldiers who returned from the front line, slowly approached with the team that went to meet outside the capital, although it only turned into a black shadow, the distance was still far away, but the sound of the mountain shouting "Long live" had resounded in the sky and spread for a hundred and ten miles. 【】

At the beginning of the net, it was only a person in the forbidden army, according to the prior arrangement, shouting loudly with a beat, although the momentum was solemn, in the face of the victorious soldiers, the look of each sergeant was also sincere and fanatical, but it was a little less enthusiastic after returning to the court.

But it didn't take long for the other people who followed to greet them were also infected by this momentum, first one by two, and then one by one, all of them began to shout in unison with the sergeants, and countless people cheered, as if the heavens and the earth were trembling for it.

At this moment, whether they were ordinary people or officials of the DPRK and China, whether they were talented people or rich people who spent a lot of money. But they all forgot their past reserves, and just cheered loudly with the people around them, and there were few false copings.

No way, a few days ago, the grassland coalition army divided tens of thousands, attacked under the capital, and almost forced the Chu Dynasty to sign the alliance under the city, although the enemy army is only tens of thousands, and the capital city is thick and has hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops, but before the battle of Shangyuan City, the incompetence of the Chu Dynasty army made everyone dare not have confidence in such a war, and the rumors of the grassland alliance army slaughtering the city, burning, looting, and even eating people frightened all the people in the capital.

Later, when Xiao Mo forced the grassland coalition army to take the initiative to sue for peace and withdraw the army, and the news of the surrender of the vassals reached the capital, when he saw the grassland coalition army outside the capital leaving quickly under the supervision of the Chu army, the capital at that time could be described as a noisy gong and drum, the sound of firecrackers everywhere, and the sound of cheers was even better than at this time.

Therefore, for these people in the capital, Xiao Mo, Zhang Yansheng, Eight Sages Wang Tian Zheng and others, as well as the sergeants they lead, represent a meaning that is by no means just an ethereal "heroic legend" words.

At least at this time, everyone's gratitude to Xiao Mo and the others is from the bottom of their hearts.

Between heaven and earth, it seems that only the mountains are left for a while, shouting "Long live." Voices.

And when Xiao Mo and the others led the army, they slowly approached. The figure finally appeared, and the cheers were even more intense. Heart

However, it was said that Xiao Mo, Zhang Yansheng, Wang Han and the Eight Sages Wang Tianzheng led the army to more than ten miles outside the capital, although they had already been mentally prepared, but they did not expect to encounter such a big scene.

Although the distance is still far away, everyone can still see that the black crowd in the distance is innumerable, innumerable, as the saying goes, "10,000 people, boundless; There are 100,000 people, and the whole world is connected". And such an endless crowd in front of him, with no end in sight, how many more than three or five hundred thousand?

Xiao Mo led the army these days, but he also learned some scout observation skills, looking at the people in front of him, he made a rough calculation, but he was shocked to find that the people who came to greet him, even if there were not millions, I am afraid that there were no less than seven or eight hundred thousand people.

You must know that although the prosperity of the Chu Dynasty has not been seen since ancient times, and the population has reached tens of millions, the residents of the capital, plus the floating population, are only about a million people, and this includes the 200,000 soldiers who are stationed here and belong to the forbidden army.

Could it be that at this time, there are thousands of empty alleys in the capital, and all of them have come to greet them?

Thinking of this, Xiao Mo couldn't help frowning, just to greet him, he actually let so many people come, how much chaos was caused between entering and leaving? How many things are delayed?

has a casual temperament, but he doesn't like such a forced and disturbing arrangement.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mo turned his head to look at the Ministry of Rites official who was leading the way beside him.

This official of the Ministry of Rites observed his words, but he immediately understood Xiao Mo's thoughts, and hurriedly drove forward, with a little flattery, and said with a smile: "Lord Xiao, according to Your Majesty's intentions, today to meet the victorious army, it is just a matter of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, but I didn't expect that after the people in Beijing learned about it, they all spontaneously followed, according to the news obtained by the lower officials, in addition to the 100,000 forbidden troops, at least half of the people in Beijing probably followed, and even some people from the southern state capital also rushed to hear the news. Just to be able to see the demeanor of a few adults, as for those refugees who fled here in the north, in order to repay the kindness of the adults in expelling the sect captives and avenging them, I am afraid that there are even more of them, and they are all gathered here. ”

This official of the Ministry of Rites is a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, a member of the third rank of the court, even if Xiao Mo is a privy secretary, a scholar of the middle school, and a waiter of the Chongwen Palace, his identity is already noble, but he is only a five-grade official, which is five levels lower than this official of the Ministry of Rites, but at this time, in front of Xiao Mo, this waiter of the Ministry of Rites has a flattering face, claiming to be a subordinate official, which makes people feel funny.

But on the other hand, although Xiao Mo himself is not very old, he is already a rare leader in the literary circle of the Chu Dynasty today, and Emperor Chu Ling's love for him is even more well-known, and now he has made unprecedented meritorious achievements since the founding of the Chu Dynasty, and the upcoming reward can not be overstated. Even if it is 10,000 steps back, even if Xiao Mo's official position is not greatly improved because of his young age, a super-grade title will not be less in any case, so in this way, it is not an exaggeration for this official of the Ministry of Rites to call himself a "lower official" in front of Xiao Mo.

After hearing the explanation of the Ministry of Rites official, Xiao Mo nodded and sighed softly, but he didn't say anything more.

On the other side, Zhang Yansheng led the army to fight behind enemy lines, but he didn't know what happened to his heart and returned! Later, he became more and more unruly, unlike Xi Zhen, who hid everything in the depths of his heart, and now after hearing the explanation of the official of the Ministry of Rites, he suddenly smiled slightly, his smile was quite cold, and he said softly: "What are you grateful for?" The reason why my Chu Dynasty has such a catastrophe is that these officials are incompetent? If we have a good way of managing the officials, the officers and soldiers are all single-minded, brave and good at fighting, internal and diligent in government, and external deterrence of foreign races, then how can we let those steppe barbarians wreak havoc? In the end, what we are doing is just making amends. ”

At this time, the cheers resounded in the sky, and Zhang Yansheng's voice was not loud, so not many people heard such words, but they still reached the ears of Zhou's people.

The official of the Ministry of Rites was embarrassed and didn't know how to reply without mentioning it, but Wang Han's face changed, after all, as a privy envoy, he was in charge of military affairs in the world, and Zhang Yansheng was almost slapping him naked.

And the Eight Sages Wang Tian Zheng nodded thoughtfully, didn't look at Wang Han's worse and worse face at all, and said slowly: "That's true, this time my dynasty has this calamity." In the final analysis, it was our daily negligence in the military, and although we returned victorious, the people deserved to cheer and greet them like this. ”

Xiao Mo glanced at Zhang Yansheng deeply, and only felt that Zhang Yansheng's inexplicable change. is still on top of his own imagination, the cautious temperament in the past is now all gone, but between his actions, he can't find fault at all, every word and deed seems to have more profound meaning, Xiao Mo couldn't figure it out, but he was still silent and didn't answer.

But between Zhang Yansheng and the Eight Sages King, Wang Han's expression became more and more embarrassing, but the Eight Sages King was noble, and Zhang Yansheng was his junior. But it was not easy to refute anything personally, and in desperation, he had to ask Xiao Mo for help.

Since Xiao Mo is now allied with Wang Han, he naturally can't see him humiliated, so he has to change the topic and say: "The people are shouting long live like this, but they are overstepping the rules, right?" ”

When Zhang Yansheng was talking with the Eight Sages King just now, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites was not only embarrassed, but also panicked, only feeling that it was not right to say yes, and it was not okay to say no, at this time, seeing Xiao Mo change the topic, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Xiao Mo's eyes full of gratitude, and hurriedly replied: "Lord Xiao, such a voice of long live the mountain, although it is a little unruly, it is not in the way. Because many of today's greeting matters were personally inquired about by His Majesty, originally according to the rules of our court, after the soldiers returned victorious, they should be "always victorious." The mountain shouted, but His Majesty said. This "wins." These two words are not enough to express the merits of your lords, so I ordered the 100,000 forbidden troops to call "long live" to make today's atmosphere even hotter. Second, it also has the meaning that the soul of our army will last forever. ”

After explaining, the official of the Ministry of Rites was afraid that there would be any more accidents, so he hurriedly reminded again: "Eighth Prince, my lords, now I am waiting for the place where His Majesty's royal crown is, and there are only three miles left, according to the rules." It's time to ride a horse. ”

Hearing the reminder of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the Eight Sages King, Xiao Mo and the others all nodded, and after ordering the whole army, they galloped quickly, accelerated forward, and quickly rushed towards the welcoming crowd.

It turned out that in such an environment as the Chu Dynasty, the quality of the army was generally not high, and between the marches, it was known as "ten steps and one stop", but because the army marched, it was often only ten steps, and the original neat team had begun to disperse, and after walking a hundred steps, the military column was already a team and the army was not an army, and although the cavalry of the horse army was better, after all, the cavalry that could become the elite of the army was the elite of the army, but under the rapid march, the neat queue could not be maintained for long.

Note 1: Not to mention the Chu Dynasty, which was similar to the Song Dynasty, in the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years later, the army led by the anti-Japanese hero Qi Jiguang was already the elite leader of the Ming army at that time, but the method of "ten steps and one stop" still exists, which is even more emphasized in his books such as "Actual Record of Military Training", "The Essentials of Rong", and "The New Book of Armed Preparation".

And now Emperor Chu Ling led the Chinese military officials and hundreds of thousands of people out of the city ten miles to greet them, showing the prestige of the Chu Dynasty army and restoring the people's confidence in the Chu Dynasty, but such a queue must not be chaotic, so there are rules and methods for slowly moving forward three miles away and marching quickly within three miles.

With the sudden acceleration of the army, the Eight Sages King was the first to run ahead, and Xiao Mo and Zhang Yansheng were each following each other on the left and right, but Wang Han slowed down the horse speed and walked behind the three, but Wang Han knew that today's protagonist was not himself as a privy envoy, but the three of the Eight Sages Wang Tian Zheng, Xiao Mo and Zhang Yansheng who had made great achievements.

Riding horses and galloping, the distance of three miles has not long been closer, when everyone led the army to meet the distance of a hundred zhang in front of the team, the mountain shouted "long live" sound. It also obscured the roar of horses stepping on the earth, and the greeting people in front of them made people feel endless.

Then the shouts of the 100,000 army suddenly stopped, and under their drive, the cheers of the people gradually stopped, and then, the sound of trumpets and gongs and drums suddenly shook violently, and a yellow crown, under the sanitation of countless officials, came out of the crowd.

But it was Emperor Chu Ling who came to greet him personally.

Seeing the appearance of the imperial crown, the Eight Sages King, Xiao Mo, Zhang Yansheng and others hurriedly stopped their horses, dismounted and knelt down to greet them, but the army behind them was completely confused because of the sudden stop.

And just when Xiao Mo and the others dismounted and knelt down to greet them, the crown of Emperor Chu Ling came to them with the support of hundreds of officials.

Then, Emperor Chu Ling's long-lost voice sounded.

"Hurry up, you are all my heroes of Dachu. If you return victoriously today, you should be exempted

Emperor Chu Ling's crown has not yet landed, and the Chu Fire Armor... Hanging Bei didn't care about his own identity, and shouted to Xiao Mo and the others.

The excitement is clear and worshipable

Hearing Emperor Chu Ling's voice, Xiao Mo raised his head slightly, peeked forward, but saw that Emperor Chu Ling was stepping down from the crown with the support of the eunuchs around him, and then did not stop, leaving behind a group of civil and military personnel, and walked quickly towards himself and others, with a look of relief and joy, but there was a little more silver in his sideburns, and he had not seen it for a few months, and it seemed that he was not old.

And what surprised Xiao Mo was that looking at Emperor Chu Ling's old age, looking at the joy and happiness in Emperor Chu Ling's expression, Xiao Mo couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness and joy in the depths of his heart.

I was sad because of Emperor Chu Ling's old age, and I was happy because of Emperor Chu Ling's happiness.

The reason why such emotions appeared was not because Xiao Mo felt that as a courtier of Emperor Chu Ling, he had the narrow sentiment of being worried about the humiliation of the lord and humiliating the minister, but an emotion similar to friendship or even family affection.

Xiao Mo's feelings for Emperor Chu Ling are extremely complicated.

First of all, it must be mentioned that Emperor Xiao Chu Ling is an emperor with a completely different identity. made it impossible for Xiao Mo to be friends with him at all. If Xiao Mozhen regarded Emperor Chu Ling as a friend, it would be a very dangerous thing, like walking a tightrope, and if he was not careful, he would fall into a dangerous situation from which he could never recover.

Secondly, Emperor Chu Ling is not a good emperor, although he also cherishes the people's livelihood, but his ability is insufficient, and his interest in poetry, cultivating immortals and even more is far beyond the government affairs of the DPRK and China. Every year, because of the requirements of Emperor Chu Ling, the silver of the treasury is used for the construction of the palace and the construction of Taoist temples, but the livelihood matters such as disaster relief and water conservancy are delayed again and again. It stands to reason that if Xiao Mo has a little knowledge, and a little bit of the worries and worries of the world, he should not have a good impression of Emperor Chu Ling.

But in these days in Beijing, especially in the days when the two sides got along anonymously, Emperor Chu Ling came to visit each other almost every day, and the two talked and laughed harmoniously, without pretending at all, the image of Emperor Chu Ling's generous old man has penetrated into Xiao Mo's heart, so that Xiao Mo unconsciously established a kind of friendship with him.

After all, Emperor Chu Ling, who has a profound Taoism and pays attention to inaction, is the person who has the most common language and gets along with each other since Xiao Mo, who is indifferent and casual by nature, since he crossed over to this era, and even the hobbies of the two are about the same, so even if Xiao Mo repeatedly reminds himself to pay attention, this kind of friendship is only becoming clearer and more obvious.

In short, unconsciously, Emperor Chu Ling was first of all a generous old man and elder who took good care of him, followed by a friend with similar interests, and finally an emperor.

Moreover, it is obvious that Emperor Chu Ling has really regarded Xiao Mo as a friend of his own bow.

I have to say that Emperor Chu Ling is a learned Confucian, a generous old man, and a good person, but he mistakenly voted for the emperor's family and became the king of a country that he should not be.

The most important thing is that Xiao Mo knows very well that after the invasion of the grassland coalition army, the contradictions that the Chu Dynasty has accumulated over the years will break out in advance, but Emperor Chu Ling has no ability to deal with it at all, although there are many Confucians in the court, but there are few people who are good at government affairs, and there are constant party disputes, following Emperor Chu Ling, and establishing such a complex implication with Emperor Chu Ling, how should Xiao Mo deal with it?

For such an old man, such an emperor, how to get along, Xiao Mo deep in his heart, the battle between reason and emotion, but he was also at a loss.

In the midst of complicated thoughts, Emperor Chu Ling had already walked in front of everyone, Xiao Mo sighed softly in his heart, and didn't think about it anymore.

"Although he is not a qualified emperor, but he is a good person, he treats me well, and he sees me as his old friend, in this case, if I can't become a rich idler in the future, then secretly help him to protect this country, so what? Although the general trend is inevitable. But if a person wins the sky, the achievement is completed, and if the general trend is inviolable, I am not ashamed of it. ”

Thinking like this, Xiao Mo's mind had already regained his calmness.

Although after the battle of Shangyuan City, Xiao Mo's heart has changed a lot, he is decisive and decisive, no longer weak and evasive in the past, and even planning to form a party to protect himself, but in essence, Xiao Mo is still the Xiao Mo who goes with the flow.

Between thoughts, Emperor Chu Ling had already helped Xiao Mo, the Eight Sages Wang Tian Zheng, and Zhang Yansheng up, and then looked at the three of them seriously, during which his eyes stayed on the Eight Sages King and Xiao Mo for a long time, and then he did not boast about the exploits of the three as Xiao Mo imagined, and then recounted the nonsense of "the ancestors have spirits, and the heavens estimate our country", but said with relief: "Okay!" Good!! It's good that you come back safely, these days, Lian has prayed for you every day, and the heavens will live up to me!! ”

Hearing Emperor Chu Ling's words, as well as the expression that was not fake at all, whether it was Xiao Mo, the Eight Sages Wang Tian Zheng, or Zhang Yansheng, they couldn't help but be moved.

Without waiting for the three of them to reply, Emperor Chu Ling said again: "You are also tired along the way, follow me back to Beijing by the imperial crown, and talk in the imperial crown on the way." ”

Saying that, Emperor Chu Ling personally took the hands of the Eight Sages Wang Tian Zheng and Xiao Mo, and took Zhang Yansheng with him. Stepping on the crown, which had traditionally only been available to emperors.

When everyone stepped on the crown, the people who came to greet them also cheered again.
