() Zhang Shuo and others agreed to transfer elite soldiers from Guanzhong to quell the rebellion, and elected Shang Cheng Qianli of the military department as the general manager. But Xue Chongxun soon decided to drive the expedition in person, and the courtiers persuaded him, at this time he had already ordered the Northern Ya Forbidden Army to transport cannons to Zhengzhou, and the cannons belonged to the Northern Ya system under the management of the Ordnance Supervisor, and Xue Chongxun sent a eunuch to pass the decree to transfer the cannons, and there was no need to go through the Southern Ya Mansion.

Princess Taiping also thought that he didn't need to drive the expedition in person, Xue Chongxun said that Cui Qigao spread rumors and insulted her, and she had to personally lead the troops to destroy her to relieve her hatred, so Princess Taiping did not object. After the expedition, the major affairs of the court do not need to be sent to the emperor on the front line, and Princess Taiping can also be counted if she says it.

Xue Chongxun ordered the troops to be transferred eastward, and there were not many soldiers, with 10,000 Shence troops and 3,000 iron cavalry of the Mingguang army, a total of 13,000 people. But the lineup is very luxurious, worthy of the royal driver's personal expedition, in a word, there is money and equipment: more than 40 small dragon and tiger cannons, 5,000 new arquebuses, more than 20,000 war horses, and more than 10,000 pairs of armor. Cavalry with two horses, infantry with a single horse, everyone has a horse configuration, as long as it is a combat arm has armor. This kind of extravagant equipment armed the soldiers to the teeth, making other armies jealous, but they are the three main forces of the forbidden army, and there is nothing to say.

Xue Chongxun spent a lot of money on this batch of equipment, and he was able to concentrate a lot of material wealth in one point, and he also benefited from the centralization of power, as well as the malpractice of the internal government and the treasury that did not separate families, so that he squandered a lot of money. Xue Chongxun watched the procession march south from Suzaku Street from the tower of Taiji Palace, and he also wanted to verify their actual combat effectiveness, otherwise it would take so much effort and so much money to be useless, wouldn't it be a blind toss?

Now the news of the rebellion in Shandong has long spread in Chang'an City, and Li Yi's defeat has further fueled the rumors, which are more and more outrageous, and some say that Luoyang is in danger. In this case, the sudden appearance of the forbidden army on Suzaku Street is indeed very shocking, this force is completely different from the guards of Nanyacheng that I usually see, and the neat queue of clothes and armor and the military discipline that can hardly find fault are almost out of the knowledge of people in this era.

Xue Chongxun watched the troops under the city quietly, even he had the illusion of seeing the modern army, but this was not the case. The officers and men of the Shence Army did not have any ideas and doctrines, they only served the emperor in their military law, and then they did not need to farm the land to eat enough, and the competent generals from Yin Ci and the Flying Tiger Regiment were strict with military discipline and diligent training, so they reached the current situation.

Thousands of feet walked with a drum beat, and the sound was very loud, as if this sound could be heard in the huge Chang'an City. Countless passers-by who did not know the art of war at all on the side of the road watched the excitement excitedly, and people were always easily inspired by the spectacular sight. Xue Chongxun paid attention to the newly equipped firearms, and he had high expectations.

Just when the imperial court was transferring troops from the Gyeonggi region of Chang'an to the east, Hebei's concerts flew frequently, Cui Qigao's troops had crossed the Yellow River into Hebei, many county towns were captured, and Xingzhou, an important town in Hebei Province, also urgently asked for help. However, Xue Chongxun believed that it was not easy for the rebels to break through Dacheng, and it was nothing more than a few counties in Xingzhou that were messed up. In just a few months, it is estimated that the number of rebels and rebels is approaching 100,000.

In mid-May, Xue Chongxun officially led the Flying Tiger Regiment of the Guards to leave Chang'an, and rode overland to the camp of the Shence Army stationed in Zhengzhou. There was no emperor's guard of honor, and he did not stop in the prefectures and counties along the way, and arrived in Zhengzhou in less than ten days. Xue Chongxun still likes a simple and neat itinerary, and he has not changed this style after ascending the throne and becoming emperor. If you take a huge chariot to patrol along the way, it is really a matter of labor and money.

However, when he arrived outside Zhengzhou, there was still a problem, and the assassin Shi Changshi actually led the officials of the whole state to greet him, and even the local county officials were transferred back to the state capital. Not only that, but the assassin also drove the people of the whole city to come out to greet him, and the post road was full of people for several miles on both sides of the road, and the pomp and circumstance was unprecedented. It seems that Xue Chongxun is not here to fight, but to review how the assassin is loyal to the monarch and loves the people.

It is estimated that not only the people in the city came, but also the farmers who came to see the excitement. However, the scene they were expecting was probably not able to be witnessed, and they could only see more than two hundred cavalry running by, trampling on dust, making countless people on the side of the road eat a mouthful of dirt, but they saw nothing but this. Xue Chongxun didn't wear a dragon robe either, how could he move in that thing on a long-distance horseback ride? The clothes on his body are not the same as those of the Flying Tiger Regiment, but the armor style is similar, so it is not easy to distinguish, and the people watching the excitement don't even know who the emperor is.

At the gate of the city, there was a hulala, and the officials of different colors saw the people coming, but they did not see the honor guard of the Son of Heaven, and they all stood there without moving. Thorn Shi turned his head and asked, "Your Majesty is indeed here today, why didn't you see the honor guard?" ”

Yin Ci pointed to a man in the middle of the cavalry: "Your Majesty is there, salute." ”

Thorn Shi was stunned, and quickly reacted that it was impossible for Yin Ci to point at the emperor in public, so he couldn't care about wondering, and took the lead in lying down in the flying dust, and the officials under the staff also hurriedly followed the curtain when they saw this, and shouted long life without borders, and Thorn Shi said loudly: "The emperor is fortunate to be here, and the officials and people of the whole state are all happy, and they are fortunate to see the emperor's ......majesty."

Xue Chongxun reined in his war horse and pointed at the assassin with his whip: "I have already told the states and counties along the way not to disturb the people, what is the matter with so many people, do you dare to resist the order?" ”

Thorn Shi was shocked, hurriedly put his face on the ground, his beard was covered with soil, and said tremblingly: "Wechen never dare, Wechen deserves death for his crimes......"

"Those who should farm the land go to farm, and the men are more recruited to transport military rations, and the officials of the state government spend less time on these useless things, and do their duty. I will not pursue this matter, but if you delay the military logistics, you will not escape the death penalty! Xue Chongxun said that he rode his horse from the side of the officials and marched into the city, and the generals who came to greet Yin Ci and other generals did not even kneel, but got on the horse and followed. Thorn Shi and the others hurriedly got up, asked people to lead the horses and make a mess, he thought that he had spent a lot of effort to arrange the palace for the emperor, and he was going to receive it, but he didn't expect that the welcome was such a scene, and he was scolded in front of him and didn't even say much.

When the assassin Shi and others chased into the city, they only knew that the emperor had gone directly to the barracks, and the palace was naturally busy in vain.

"The old man thought that he could be familiar with it in front of the emperor, but it turned out to be like this!" Thorn Shi looked back and sighed, "Is there something wrong?" ”

A staff member said: "The emperor is here to quell the rebellion, and the battle has not yet been won, so I guess I am not in any other mood." Let's assign more people to manage the rivers and grain roads, and get things done. The others nodded their heads in agreement. At this time, another official stepped forward a few steps, approached the assassin and whispered, "Those little ladies selected in the palace...... You can send it while you're delivering the imperial meal. ”

Xue Chongxun's lustful reputation spread in the officialdom around Luoyang before he ascended the throne, and the assassin immediately agreed to the idea.

But it wasn't until the evening that everyone found out, let alone sending people in, not even the dishes could be delivered, and a piece of the city requisitioned by the Shence Army had been under martial law and had become a closed space, and no one outside could not even meet without the emperor summoning them.

Thorn Shi ran into walls everywhere today, and all the sycophants were slapped on the horse's feet, and he lost his temper with the staff who gave advice, complaining that these people had bad ideas, and spent a lot of money and a lot of things to no avail. He secretly scolded the staff: "The world's show girls have to be carefully selected to enter the palace, and the old man didn't understand it because he was deceived by you!" The staff hurriedly whispered: "Let the king calm his anger, the problem is really not here, the emperor was a nobleman when he was the Duke of Wei Guo before, and there was a shortage of women?" Have you heard about the history of Ruzhou? ”

Seeing that the assassin was interested, the staff member said: "At that time, the assassin of Ruzhou offered 'game', but something happened to those good women who mixed in with the assassins, and the good things were ruined. Even if this kind of thing happened, but the intention of the Ruzhou Assassin Shi was to arrive, and now I heard that everyone has been mixed into the three provinces and six ministries to be Beijing officials, and the backer is Prime Minister Liu Xianggong. ”

Thorn Shi looked thoughtful, and his anger disappeared a lot.

The staff took the opportunity to continue to flicker: "It's not wrong for us to prepare for the palace, so be prepared." Although it is not in use now, who knows if the emperor will live in the palace, in case he is in the mood when the old man comes, we don't have any preparations, how to do this? ”

……

In the lobby of the Chinese army, Xue Chongxun was having dinner with a cadre, although he was the emperor, the relationship between the confidants and generals of the forbidden army and him was still good, but the usual etiquette was different. Xue Chongxun sat above, and the other generals actually sat at a table with him eating meat and drinking wine, among which there was also the accompanying Inner Factory Ling Yu Wenxiao, Xue Chongxun needed the information of the Inner Factory, and it was more convenient to take him with him.

Most of the generals are not so casual because Xue Chongxun's identity is different from before. But after a while, Li Kuiyong, the big head, muttered: "I saw that the state government sent people to deliver food before, and they were all beautiful little girls...... It's a pity to rush back, hey, Xue Lang, you don't like it, it's good to reward the brothers, it's a pity that people are stabbing history with filial piety......"

Yin Ci immediately stared at him, Li Kuiyong "forehead", understood what his boss meant, and hurriedly stopped the topic and buried his head in eating and drinking.

Unexpectedly, he didn't follow the rules for a while, and then complained: "There is also that palace, it seems to have spent a lot of money." Damn, do some useless and troublesome, just exchange things for real money and give it to us, take the silver to drink flower wine, and gamble a few handfuls of whatever we want...... It's like taking off his pants and farting, Xue Lang scolded right, do everything useless. ”

Yin Ci couldn't help but say with a straight face: "Li Kuiyong, it's just a matter of what you say, if you catch the evidence of molesting people's women and accepting bribes, the military law will be no exception." If you want to go to the battlefield with silver to cut off your head, you can't do without it! ”

Xue Chongxun said with a smile: "Yin Ci is right, I didn't treat you badly, don't cry poor here." If you want to be really poor, how do you raise a dozen little girls in your family? ”

Li Kuiyong was stunned and said, "Dare to love Xue Lang knows everything...... But the family is home, somehow, or the girls in the flower building outside have a taste. The generals couldn't bear it anymore and finally burst out laughing.

Only Sanniang didn't laugh alone, these people talked about dirty things, and she didn't have any reaction, like an ornament that was easy to be ignored.
