Volume 2: Bianliang Mistake, Chapter 76, Xianjie (2)

On the third day of the sixth month of the fifth year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, outside the Nanxun Gate in the south of Bianliang City, there were crowds of people.

At this moment, outside Bianliang City, there have long been thousands of people's houses, living side by side. When Bianliang founded the country in Yizu, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians were raised in the city, which was already extremely large-scale. After decades of accumulation, this number has already broken one million. Especially in the south and in the direction of the Bianhe waterway, the most new buildings have been erected in the artery of the capital of the supplier country. In the Song Dynasty, it was not like the Tang Dynasty in accordance with the strict fang and lane system, and the pavilions and pavilions of the palace and the pavilions in the residential market were intricate, and it was extremely lively. At the time of Shenzong, the city wall was added to the south, and a new dwelling was protected as much as possible within the scope of the Bianliang city defense, but at this moment, outside the newly built city wall, there were tens of thousands of more people, more than 100,000 people, and it stretched out for more than ten miles. At this moment, the actual population of Bianliang is afraid that it has far exceeded two million, reaching the point of nearly three million! This number, except for China at this time, is the population of an extremely powerful country anywhere in the world.

Bianliang has developed so prosperously, in fact, it is already a bit close to the point of deformity. The Great Song Dynasty was almost supporting the national capital with the power of the whole country. The fleet and convoy of ships that transfer materials, grain, and various daily utensils from south to north are on the way every year, and there is no time to stop. The improvement of roads and rivers requires great resources every year. The so-called forbidden army in Bianliang now, in addition to the almost impossible to perform the function of fighting, is left with public security and river protection. Everywhere in the Great Song Dynasty, the resources that could be retained in the local area were too small, and most of them had to be transferred to the direction of the national capital, and the official positions of high-ranking and powerful envoys were also set up.

Bianliang is so prosperous and rich, far more than all over the Song Dynasty. Officials at all levels would rather hang up their false titles in Bianliang and guard the cold yamen than go to the local governor's military state. Being demoted is already an extremely severe punishment. Bianliang has accumulated too many resources and talents, and too many resources have promoted the world to become more and more extravagant. There are too many talents and not so many things, which promotes the party struggle in the court. Every year, at least 30% of the financial revenue of the Great Song Dynasty is consumed on the transit road, and forced labor is also a very onerous maladministration. Moreover, the terrain around Bianliang is too flat, there is no danger to defend, and to defend the national capital, a large number of troops must be needed. There was Song I, and the numbers of the army were constantly expanding.

At that time, Yizu founded the country, and it was said that the capital was here, and it would be trapped in the world for the next hundred years. Once planned to move the capital to Luoyang, after the candlelight axe, this discussion was completed. By now, Bianliang, which has expanded and developed far beyond this era, has indeed become a heavy burden for the Great Song Dynasty.

Even so, Bianliang, which is the richest and most prosperous in the world, under the support of the whole country of the Great Song Empire, also has an unprecedented magnificence, and at this moment, this Bianliang City is in front of the triumphant army of the class master who has braved the wind and frost from Yandi for two years and experienced countless bloody battles, and it is also in front of Xiao Yan, who has come through thousands of years, just waiting for him to step in!

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Tens of thousands of Long March athletes, the Huanqing army is in the front, and the Shenwu Changsheng army is in the back. Standing quietly outside the Minami Kaoru Gate. In Bianliang City, it is from the Nanxun Gate to enter this north-south avenue is the widest and straightest, facing the official residence in the forbidden middle.

Pass through the Nanxun Gate, cross the Suzaku Gate of the old city, cross the Longjin Bridge, and enter the royal road. The royal road is about four miles long, facing the Xuande Building in the middle of the south of the imperial city. And the official family descended to the civil and military officials, and the clan of the Xun Qi clan was on the Xuande Tower, and all the covers in front of the emperor were played, waiting for the triumph of tens of thousands of Long March athletes!

Such a grand event, since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, has never been seen except for the destruction of Shu and the Southern Tang Dynasty. And how could the Great Liao Empire, which stood side by side with the Great Song Dynasty and confronted each other for more than 100 years, break the narrow Shu State and the weak and self-controlled Southern Tang Dynasty? It can even go back hundreds of years, after the Tang Empire defeated the Turks, there was no such event in the Han family!

From top to bottom, Bianliang was disturbed by this grand event. Those who are qualified to go to the Xuande Building naturally rushed to the forbidden middle school early to prepare. The scholars who are not qualified to go to the Xuande Building, call friends, take the subordinates, occupy the high place along the street from the Nanxun Gate to the Xuande Building, or the restaurant or pavilion, put a table of wine, warm a few chā wine, talk about the story of the failure of the previous generation of art ancestor Taizong to conquer Liao, the covenant of Zhenzong Yuanyuan, talk about the past and the present, and wait quietly. On this day, a good position on the high side of the street has been sold for dozens of dollars, and if you pay money, you have to pay hundreds of dollars!

The people of Bianliang did not have this copper in their waists, so they crowded together along the street and got together. When the family came out, they brought tea and cold soup, called their children and daughters, and watched from the crowd. Those homeless idlers just crowded around in the crowd, staring blankly to see which little lady looked better. Most of the other places in Bianliang that are not close to the army to offer Jietong Road have stopped trading, and all of them have come in groups. Those who have a little business acumen will carry baskets and carry burdens, and sell food and osmanthus soup along this road, and all kinds of toys will also come.

There are countless palaces and temples in Bianliang City, and on this day, there are great virtuous monks who rush to Xuyu or set up fasting or try to meet, surpass the souls of the dead, and pray for the blessings of the officials. There is also a group of Hu businessmen, who are also mixed together in the crowd and point at this scene. Hu Shang, who had just arrived in the Great Song Dynasty, was just fascinated by the population and such a scene in this huge city, and he couldn't say a word as the flow of people was squeezed around.

Kaifeng Mansion, the Imperial City Division, and the Sanya Forbidden Army have all mobilized manpower today to be on duty. The forbidden army stood facing the street, leaving the crowd behind them. These military men also washed and dressed up as much as possible today, wearing red sè battle jackets and Fan Yang hats. With a knife and a gun, he stood in front of the Xuande Building from the Nanxun Gate. The officials of Kaifeng Mansion are in the crowd to maintain order, to see if there are idlers who make too much trouble, and what ninth-rate characters are opening up in the crowd, leaning on and locking them up. Everyone was sweating profusely.

The cavalry of the guards in the three yazhong, the pro-army horse military division, all rode mounts, a team of people and horses, Mao sè was as consistent as possible, wearing helmets and armor, showing off their might to patrol back and forth, looking at where the sāo movement was too loud, so they shouted a few times. Those people are not afraid of these forbidden troops, everyone is a native of their hometown, and they are neighbors for generations and years, and they are all acquaintances. These horse soldiers who are now wearing armor, who doesn't know their details? The armor on their bodies is all reduced, and they can't support it for a day when they are wearing a full set. On weekdays, the wine shop and gambling hall call brother and brother, and today after a few shouts, it will be replaced by a person? It is often louder that the voices are louder, and the forbidden soldiers who are the guards who are the façade and the pro-army Ma Junsi can only pretend not to see it.

Although the female relatives of the Song Dynasty couldn't help but show their heads, they were crowded in the crowd like this, and they didn't look like they. Fortunately, the Bianliang water system is developed, and there are many bridges along the way from the Nanxun Gate into this avenue. The ladies who had a little status hired boats, moored near the left and right under the bridge, ate small food, and looked at the bridge with their feet on the ground. It's early summer and the climate is warm. These ladies are all wearing glamorous gowns, exposing below the collarbone, and the warm fragrance softens more than two large pieces of white flesh, dazzling people's eyes. On the hair, the cheeks are sliced, and the fragrant sweat is soaked, as if the river is flowing with fragrance. There is also the female history of Vasher, the courtesans in the restaurant are intertwined, and they greet old acquaintances with smiles and coquettishness, and the young children on the riverbank also respond to each other. Laughter and laughter were all in one.

Just looking at this lively and magnificent scene, where is it like welcoming a border army that is thousands of miles away, charging in the snow, with many casualties, and countless lives, blood and sweat for the great Song Kefu Yanyun? It seems that this rich and prosperous Bianliang has reached the point where flowers are brocade and the fire is cooking, showing off all his romance and liveliness.

Who would have thought that in real history, this extremely prosperous atmosphere, these millions of people, would be in vain. This Bianliang can only be pursued in dreams?

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Outside the Nanxun Gate, the squad army also got up early, dressed neatly, and rushed to the front of the Nanxun Gate to wait. Even if it is the Huanqing Army, after all, it is a military horse that has been fighting for two years and has experienced several major battles. Wang Yu also practiced and reorganized along the way, and at this moment, he was waiting in line, and naturally there was a solemn atmosphere of the army. It is very different from those flowery Bianliang forbidden army. Standing there, they were all wearing a full set of armor, and if it wasn't enough, they would be mobilized from the Bianliang arsenal to make up for it. Brush and polish to a clean and shiny finish. The soldiers and soldiers are all hairpins in their ears, and the generals' mounts and saddle reins are decorated with colored satin. The flags and golden drums are all new. The Privy Council will not be stingy in this, and those who can be adjusted will be transferred to make up for it immediately, and those who cannot be adjusted will be detained by master craftsmen in the past two days, and they will pay a lot of money to make it overnight.

This Huanqing army was built dazzling at once, under the backdrop of these new armor, new flags, and new blades. These big men from Shaanxi lined up in a row. The onlookers around Nanxun Gate couldn't help but shake their heads in admiration, pointing and applauding, and cheers from time to time. Let these soldiers of the Huanqing Army, regardless of getting off the horse, have straighter backs and higher heads.

Since the morning, the shouts of the surrounding onlookers have been rising wave after wave, all of which are full of admiration.

"Isn't this the Shenwu Victorious Army of Kefu Yanjing? Sure enough, he is a good man, a good tool, and a good general! ”

"This is a border army, how can it be the same as the forbidden army around us? When you are in the west, you are to fight with the thieves of the west. Eat ice and lie in the snow, and don't come back on horseback for more than ten days! When I arrived at Yandi, I met Liao Dog, and I played for a full year. In that place in Yandi, the ears can be frozen, Yanjing City is tall, not much worse than Bianliang, and it is hard to fill it with your life, how can this be light? Which of these soldiers is afraid that there are more than a dozen lives in their hands? But it's not like you, you only cut half of your throat, and you run around the yard, spilling blood all over the ground, and your mother-in-law faints! ”

"My brother is a brother, I was selected to go out to the forbidden army, and I went to Hejian Mansion to sneak a move and came back. Speaking of these border troops, they all shook their heads, saying that it was not okay to fight. They walk twenty miles a day, and these border soldiers can walk forty miles. What else? Liao dog rides a horse, and it is 200 miles a day, but let these soldiers deal with it! Shenwu often wins the army, and he also knows something. Among the border troops, the strongest are the Shengjie army of the Tong Shumi and the Bai Xuan army of the old breed, and the two departments are combined with the returning Guo Yaoshi Chang Shengjun - those are all Liaodong men, all of them are long and two, and they can play a hundred and ten catties of wolf teeth! Make up this Shenwu Winning Army, which can be called the first in the world! If it weren't for them, how could they have taken down this Yanjing City and cleaned up these Liao dogs? ”

"I am! When such a strong army enters the defense of Bianliang, what opponent are you afraid of? The great monk of the Great Xiangguo Temple said, we are Bianliang, and there are three hundred years of luck! ”

"Who is Xiao Yan and Xiao Xuanzan who killed the Jurchen Xiao Wang, broke Yanjing, killed Xiao Gan, killed Yelu Dashi, and captured the Empress of Liao? How can you tell that group of generals? ”

"Xiao Xuanzan is a fighting man, and he is looking for the tallest and strongest person. Xiao Xuanzan returned from the far north, and he had a ten-stone hard bow, and he could make a hundred and twenty pounds of iron spears with both hands, otherwise how could he achieve his feat? ”

"And don't talk nonsense, Xiao Xuanzan is a civil servant, how can he be dressed as a military minister? But it's strange, among the bunch of generals in the Chinese army, can't you find any people dressed as civil servants? ”

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Wang Yu and Ma Kuo are all in the position of the Chinese army. The two of them are also newly decorated today, even the beard on their faces has been carefully trimmed, and the admiration of the people around them can be heard clearly, and the two of them look at each other, and their faces are hot.

Today's ceremonial arrangements are all raised by the Privy Council. arranged the Huanqing Army to the front, and decorated the army as much as possible. The two of them also know all the intentions, that is, to make Shenwu Chang Shengjun and Xiao Yan unable to show it! Where can the people of Bianliang tell which army they are, looking at this dazzling appearance, they are regarded as the victorious army of Shenwu. Pointing and pointing, full of praise.

Both of them can be regarded as rare military ministers who are defensive and promising, and they are ashamed of the glory of such a person who has made real achievements in robbing Xiao Yan and the Shenwu Changsheng Army and the glory of military horses.

But after the Privy Council arranged it like this, what else did the two of them say? Wang Yu was originally Tong Guan's confidant, and Ma Kuo was also favored by Tong Guan. Naturally, it is Wang Huang Tongguan, a figure in the party. Now that the Huanqing Army has lost the commander Liu Yanqing, and has been squeezed out by the three armies of the Western Army, it is already completely their military horse. This army will also be maintained in the future. Wu Min pressed down in person, and the two of them had no choice but to bite the bullet. I did a night of psychological construction last night, and at this moment, looking at the people around them pointing at them, and praising Huan Qingjun, both of them felt that their faces were rising.

Ma Kuo endured patience for a long time, and finally couldn't help but whisper to Wang Yu: "Captain Wang, I can't bear it." Kill alive! Fame and glory can be won by yourself, but you can't rob people! We soldiers, with blood on the head of the knife, cannot ignore our conscience. I told me to go back to the camp to rest, and this time before the emperor, don't count me as me? ”

Wang Yu's face was also slightly iron-blue, and he glared at Ma Kuo: "A certain person is also sick, what do you think?" What words should be sung in any scene, and what else can be done? When the princes are in power, it is also to reconcile yin and yang. Our move is also slandering Xiao Yan! He's less noticeable this time, and maybe he'll have a little less trouble............ That's all there is to it! As military generals, we obey orders and act like we have enemies on a different day, as long as we rush to kill in front of Xiao Yan, our hearts will be straightened............ Straight lady thief, why hasn't this dedication ceremony started yet? ”

The Lord spoke like this, and Ma Kuo had to shut up. He gritted his teeth, his face tightened, and he couldn't help but look back. The two armies of the Shenwu Changsheng Army and the Huanqing Army were camped not very far from Nanxunmen. Thousands of Huanqing troops went out first and occupied the position. The Shenwu Changsheng Army did not follow closely behind the Huanqing Army, but only lined up in the barracks. There was just the sound of drums and trumpets. The attention of the people was naturally all focused on the Huanqing Army, thinking that this was the entire army of class teachers.

At this moment, what does Xiao Yan think? It's been some time dealing with Xiao Yan, and Ma Kuo also knows that Xiao Yan is a person who is unwilling to admit defeat, and now he has only arrived in Bianliang, so he has put a head on Shengsheng, will he be willing to swallow this breath?

At this time, Ma Kuo secretly wished Xiao Yan to endure this breath, this is Bianliang at the feet of the Son of Heaven, not Yanjing! In the land of Yanyun, these generals can act with little restraint, and as long as they win the battle, they will be accountable. And at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are too many people who can deal with you, not to mention the Xifu who is in charge of the world's military horses, and the hidden phase with great energy standing behind the Xifu, all of them are trying to suppress you Xiao Yan!

You have made such a contribution to the country, you can't end up with one, this breath, you Xiao Yan must endure it!

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

On the Xuande floor in the south of the imperial city, at this time, with the sound of Junrong straight drum music of the official family traveling with full honor guards, a pair of royal front class straight first appeared on the Xuande floor, extended to both sides on the left and right, and stood in their respective positions. Golden Gun Class, East and West Class Chengzhi, Royal Dragon Straight, Royal Dragon Bone Duozi Straight, Royal Dragon Bow and Arrow Straight, Royal Dragon Crossbowman Straight............ One after another, all over the Xuande Building. Then there is the scattered command with the imperial equipment, these are all in front of the royal commander after the Xun Qi, that is, an apricot yellow cover appears on the Xuande Tower, under the cover of an eight-person outer hall straight to carry the step, the Great Song Dynasty body god Hedao Jun Lie Xun Gong Shengwen Rende Xian Ci Xian filial piety Emperor Zhao Ji is wearing a dragon robe, wearing a long-winged gauze hat, sitting on the top of the step.

Upstairs in Xuande, there was already an official throne, and Zhao Ji slowly stepped down and walked to the throne. Behind him, there are the two mansions of the east and west, the clan, the three divisions, the inner divisions, the palaces, the ministries, the honorable relatives, and a number of high-ranking officials, standing in shifts. Zhao Ji sat down dignifiedly. Under the Xuande Building, the four-mile-long Royal Street has long been cleaned. The people were not allowed to come near for miles on both sides. A pair of soldiers of the forbidden army standing opposite each other on the left and right sides of the royal street saw the official family seated, all kneeling down with weapons, and bowed their heads and shouted: "Long live the saint!" ”

I don't know how many times I practiced this shout. The sound of the sound is all over the place. With a smile on his face, Zhao Ji raised his hand to signal, and the cheers continued to subside, and gradually stopped.

Looking at this scene, looking at the millions of people crowded into the distance, the boredom on Zhao Ji's face these days was completely gone, and he looked around with a smile: "It's time to start?" ”

Around Zhao Ji, the nearest one is naturally Cai Jing, the Taishi leads the three provincial affairs, is in charge of the political affairs hall, and is a hundred courtesy, he is not qualified, who else is qualified. There is another one, it is Liang Shicheng. His official position could not have been so close to Zhao Ji in this kind of ceremony, but Zhao Ji was favored and affectionate, who would dare to say him?

Cai Jing was not very active today, but he just stood solemnly, or Liang Shicheng said in a low voice: "Long live the forbidden army mountain, the official family came in person, it is to inform the army outside Nanxun Gate that the ceremony of dedication has begun, and now it is time to start entering the city." ”

Zhao Ji nodded, and asked softly, "Is it the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army?" ”

Liang Shicheng also replied in a low voice: "Official, Shenwu Changsheng has more than 10,000 troops, and Huanqing has thousands of troops. The Privy Council arranged the priority before the priority, but it was the Huanqing Army that took the lead. ”

Zhao Ji frowned slightly, but didn't say much, just sat on the throne and waited. Liang Shicheng thought about it, quietly retreated from Zhao Ji's side, found Wu Min in the Xifu shift, and said in a low voice: "Is there a difference?" ”

Wu Min was the most thoughtful today, seeing Liang Shicheng walking towards him, he was already sweating all over his head, and replied cautiously at the moment: "Lord Enfu, the Huanqing Army is first, and the Shenwu Changsheng Army is behind, and there will be no mistakes." In the past two days, his subordinates have done their best to decorate the Huanqing Army with a new look, and the military is very powerful............"

He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Huanqingjun entered first, and his subordinates were brave." The Shenwu Victorious Army was pressed again. Half an hour later, they were allowed to go out of camp and into the city. The official family has already seen the military prestige of the Huanqing army, and the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army is naturally not very prominent............"

Liang Shicheng showed a satisfied look on his face, nodded and said, "Well done, good work!" ”

Wu Min's arrangement is very poisonous, and it can be regarded as a thorough understanding of the official family. Zhao Ji's temperament is greedy for freshness but impatient. After seeing the victory of the Huanqing Army, I have to wait for a while to see the Shenwu Winning Army, and it is estimated that I have long lost my temperament and hastily stopped. No matter how Xiao Yan is, it is estimated that he will not be able to show it. Xiao Yan is figuring out Zhao Ji on the way, but these bigwigs like Bianliang are even more figuring out how many years Zhao Ji has been! Not to mention that the Huanqing Army received almost unlimited resources to help them grow their military might, which was already strong enough in this era. There is a disconnect between the two armies, and when the time comes, he will push any Privy Council official and say that he is not well arranged, and he will be a scapegoat.

This joint, Liang Shicheng understood as soon as he heard it. The moment is a great joy.

And Wu Min was also overjoyed when he heard Liang Shicheng's six words, he praised him for his good arrangement if he did a good job, but he promised him the right position of Xifu!

The two were answering each other, but Cai Jing in front of him was looking back coldly at this time, Liang Shicheng and him glanced at each other from afar, and they couldn't see any expression on their faces, and they smiled politely at each other. Liang Shicheng quietly walked away again, waiting beside Zhao Ji.

In this way, you can be regarded as winning a game against your old horseman, right?

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

The sound of the mountain calling long live is transmitted to the outside of the Nanxun Gate. The members of the Privy Council and the Ministry of Rites who were waiting in front of the Huanqing Army hurriedly rushed to the Chinese army and said loudly: "Captain Wang, the official family has boarded the Xuande Building, start quickly!" ”

Wang Yu raised his hand with a calm face, and the Chinese military drum and trumpet suddenly sounded. The Shaanxi men carefully selected in the front row of each battalion held high the flags and marched forward. Thousands of armor soldiers followed the orders of the generals and started one after another. After practicing for so many days, the formation is quite neat. Only the sound of clashing armor was heard. The array of the army moved, causing the surrounding people to suddenly burst into cheers.

"Dedication, dedication!"

This cheer sounded from outside the Nanxun Gate, and in a blink of an eye, it spread to the inside of the Nanxun Gate, and the people who heard it along the street responded and cheered. The sound suddenly rose higher and higher, and the officials and nobles along the street all came to the windows with good vision. The people below, crowded one after another, rushed forward, and those lively idlers couldn't stop screaming and pushed people forward. The guards of the forbidden army, who were waiting for everyone to be full of big men, tried their best to maintain the line of people and not rush into the streets of the army. The squeezed child immediately began to cry. The officials who maintained order in the crowd scolded one by one. The sound of the waves is even louder.

The crowded people along the river were even more unlucky, and the crowd moved, and people were constantly being squeezed down the river. Fortunately, the weather was warm, the river was not deep, and there were people all around, so they immediately pulled up one by one with mud and water. The ladies on the boat looked at this scene and smiled coquettishly.

The liveliness of Bianliang City, as the Huanqing Army began to enter the city, suddenly ten times as before, the whole city was agitated, waiting for this rare event, as if it was a festival that everyone could enjoy!

Thousands of soldiers of the Huanqing Army all raised their heads and chests at this time, and one battalion after another. Twenty columns per battalion, more than twenty people in each column. Fill the wide north-south boulevard. The march was full of cheers. Flowers and fruits are constantly thrown in front of the horse. There was even a girl's sweat towel.

For the vast majority of the officers and soldiers of the Huanqing Army, at this time, where do they remember that they are defeated. Along the way, the panic and shame in front of the Shenwu Changsheng army suddenly diluted a lot, everyone laughed from ear to ear, and the sound of marching drums and trumpets was not very real.

In the crowd, an idler with exposed arms and tattoos on his neck looked at the military man like this, and immediately laughed: "Wu Na military man, the female edict of our tea shed to accompany the wine is very sè, remember the name of my living Meng taste, the ghost market is a walk, what kind of fun, always only charge you 300 Wen." Poor Northland has been fighting for two years, and the sow is also like a sable! It's really buckled, there is no copper in the waist, I am all entertained, and I am not straight! ”

This idle man lives Meng Wei, it seems that he has a lot of status in Bianliang Jianghu, dozens of strong people around him, and there are also forbidden military uniforms. Standing there, no one dared to approach, and everyone around them laughed when they heard him joking loudly.

In the Huanqing Army, there are no bloody men, honest and simple generals. At this time, seeing that the people of Bianliang regarded them as a rare joke, they were secretly resentful in their hearts. I can only turn my face and look like I haven't seen it. The founding of the country has been a long time, the world has been thin, the status of the military is not as good as day by day, and here is the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the peace has been enjoying for a long time, how can they experience the misery of the border army for decades, the pain of wind and frost in the battle, and the pain of the great enemy attacking their own pass fortress? Rao is the Huanqing Army, on the side of the Gaoliang River, when Liu Yanqing never fled, he still fought to the death, and Cao Yi and dozens of other soldiers were about to die. Now in the eyes of the people of Bianliang, but so! And in the eyes of those adults in the court, I am afraid that it is even more unbearable, but it is only used as a weapon to deal with the Shenwu Changsheng Army and Xiao Yan, and it has been used.

In real history, the Northern Song Dynasty perished not for no reason. The scholars are arrogant and arrogant in the party struggle, and the military ministers are arrogant and lazy, even the people are also so troubled by the prosperous and impetuous world that they only know how to chase petty profits, greedy for freshness and lively. The founding sincerity and courage of the country are gone. Although the economic activities of the distant predecessors created the pinnacle of civilization in the Middle Ages, they also gradually drew the backbone of a nation, which can be seen even in this dedication ceremony!

Wang Yu and Ma Kuo were in the queue, and the surrounding prosperity was not in sight. The two looked at each other from time to time, and they both felt a little chill in their hearts. They do not hesitate to fight to the death for this Bianliang, even if the army is becoming more and more unbearable now, and there are fewer and fewer troops capable of fighting, they will not retreat. But this Bianliang, can it support these loyal and brave soldiers to fight to the end in the border land, and they will die in battle in the future, will this Bianliang, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, remember them?

In this kind of prosperous scene that was a little deformed and disturbed half of Bianliang City, and hundreds of thousands of people shouted like a tsunami, the Huanqing army slowly moved forward, and finally passed through the Suzaku Gate and walked to the top of the royal street.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

This royal street is wide, and it exceeds the north and south streets from Nanxun Gate to Suzaku Gate. The two battalions in front of them immediately moved out of the way to both sides and brought out the Chinese army. Wang Yu is in front, the generals follow behind, the red tassel hunting and dancing on the helmet, straight to the Xuande Tower in front of him, and on the wall of the Vermilion Bird Gate behind him, dozens of forbidden soldiers blow horns. On the Xuande floor, holding a variety of musical instruments in front of Jun Rong directly played the Yale Dasheng, this music is the imperial system of Huizong, for this special casting of the emperor's ding, Jing Zhong, the tune is peaceful, and it does not return.

In the music of Dasheng, the official family upstairs in Xuande descended, and everyone was like a god. Zhao Ji was sitting in danger, and everyone stood solemnly. Looking at the soldiers of the Huanqing Army in the brigade, their clothes and armor were neat, and they marched forward in a column.

At this time, the cheers of the people of Bianliang City had been left behind, and the royal road was much quieter. Huanqingjun's footsteps hit the bluestone bricks under his feet, which was quite neat. The generals mostly wear steel chain mail, or bright light fine mesh mail. The leaves of Song Jiajia are very large, and after polishing, they shine brightly. The soldiers in the front row of each battalion are all carefully selected Shaanxi Hans, wearing the step armor that has been turned out in the arsenal, and they have also been polished, and the nail leaf connection is decorated with brocade, and it is very good-looking to see a large piece of colorful green.

These sturdy soldiers held all kinds of flags in the army, and they were in a row. There are battalion flags, generals flags, command flags, detachment flags, and even colorful flags that are purely used for decoration. All of them are prepared with good brocade and look very good. These thousands of people marched in a formation, the royal street was only four miles long, and the tail of the line was still south of the Suzaku Gate, and it seemed that there was an endless trend.

Zhao Ji grew up in the deep palace, never left the rich and prosperous Bianliang one step, although the forbidden army has performed, but these can't even stand in the team, the armor can't be worn, how can the soldiers who have not fought for decades be compared to the long-term war, and Wang Yu and other people who know the soldiers have rectified even the Huanqing army that has defeated the remnants?

At that moment, he showed joy on his face and said in a low voice: "Huanqing Army is also so majestic? If the elite of the Northern Expedition is like this, although there are some repetitions, it seems that it is expected to take Yanjing. The previous military report, I am afraid that there are all untruths, and the Huanqing Army may not have made any efforts, otherwise why would so many athletes have been injured? Transferring the Huanqing army into the guard is a good decision! ”

Hearing Zhao Ji's low praise, Liang Shicheng's face suddenly overflowed, and he quickly restrained himself, still looking respectful and loyal, and said in a low voice: "It was the privy deputy Wu Min who made the decision to transfer the Qingjun into the guard. Since the official family appreciates it, it seems that the Western Mansion has not done anything wrong. ”

Zhao Ji nodded, said no more, and sat more upright on the throne. Wait for the king's generals to come forward. Liang Shicheng raised his head and couldn't help but glance at Cai Jing, and saw Cai Jing's white beard fluttering, and his expression was calm. Liang Shicheng cursed in his heart: "Old horseman, you still have to act at this moment!" ”

Xuande Building is moving, and everyone under Wang Yu naturally doesn't know. Even Ma Kuo threw away the messy thoughts in his heart at this time, and followed Wang Yu before riding the horse. When they arrived at a hundred steps in front of the Xuande Building, the generals turned over and dismounted, bowed down and walked ten steps forward, took off their helmets, and bowed to worship. After the king descended, everyone shouted and danced, shouting in unison: "Long live the saint!" ”

With the actions of Wang Yu and them, thousands of Huanqing troops bowed down at the same time, except for the soldiers in the front row holding the flag, who could not shout and dance, and could only kneel on their knees and bow their heads, everyone was in the same action, and the cry shook the sky: "Long live the saint!" ”

Zhao Ji got up with a smile, waved his hand, and the scattered commanders with imperial equipment in front of him stood in front of the Xuande Building, facing around, and shouted: "The saint has a will, and he is free from courtesy!" ”

Wang Yu and the others got up, still maintaining a posture of kneeling on one knee, looking up at Zhao Ji, who was standing on the Xuande Tower, fluttering like an immortal, and reported loudly: "The ministers are ordered, they have to lead the heavenly soldiers, and they will march north to the north, and they will be successful in two years of battle." Kill the Liao enemy chief Xiao Gan Yelu Dashi to reduce hundreds of soldiers, break the army of 100,000, capture the Liao queen Xiao Puxian, hold its hundred officials, and burn its temple. The Xia Liao people stole three out of twenty counties in Junzhou, and there were countless people. Da Song Jinou, that's it! The victory of this battle is really thanks to the ancestors Weiling, the kindness of the officials, the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, the soldiers with their lives, and the ministers are fortunate to get it all, and they have to return to Bianliang, face the saint in front of it, and are not very afraid! ”

This remark was naturally formulated by the Ministry of Rites, Wang Yu didn't know how many times he practiced last night, but at this moment, it was sincere, and upstairs in Xuande, Zhao Ji couldn't help but be moved.

At this moment, Zhao Ji also felt a little emotional. Originally, the one who was downstairs in Xuande should be Tong Guan, and the one standing next to him should be Wang Huang. I didn't expect that the Northern Expedition was promoted by them, and after the fight, there were already people around the downstairs! This war has been entangled for too long, and it has caused great changes in Bianliang City. Originally, I thought that by replacing Cai Jing and replacing Wang Hao, I would be able to maintain the situation for at least seven or eight years without making a big move, and I could enjoy peace in peace. Cai Jing's power is too deep, suppress it, and wait for him to die of old age. Who knew that in the end, Cai Jing was still reverted, the Great Song Duzhi was even more unbearable, the suppression of the Western Army was gradually weak, and the several parties in the DPRK and China were fighting even more inextricably!

Zhao Ji is not a person who likes complicated dramas, how the ministers are placed in the Shenwu Changsheng Army these days, what is Xiao Yan's status, and how can he not know? The more it is delayed, the more troublesome it feels. But I feel that if the forbidden army is not rectified, it will really not be done, the western army has no Tong Guan suppression, and there are no other soldiers who can fight in the world, once there is a change, no matter from the inside and outside, his safety may not be guaranteed. Now seeing that the military prestige of the Huanqing Army is like this, Wang Yu is dignified, and he is mighty, and among the generals, he also recognizes the Ma Kuo who he admires very much, and suddenly feels that it is not impossible for the forbidden army to be handed over to Wang Yu for rectification? He was promoted by Tong Guan, and he is not the same heart as the Western Army. It saves the headache of how to settle Xiao Yan, more is better than less! After offering the good news, he informed the Xifu and asked them to come up with a plan, how to let Wang Yu have this status based on the Huanqing Army and at least tens of thousands of capable of fighting the forbidden army. As for Xiao Yan, returning to the south and surrendering to people's ears, it's okay to be cold.

Thinking about it, Zhao Ji felt that the block in his chest was loose, and he walked in front of the Xuande Building, and warmly preached to comfort the class teacher and the soldiers. To tell the truth, Zhao Ji is a polite emperor, his voice is not very loud, and more than half of the generals below did not hear what he said clearly, presumably it was nothing more than some kindness to reward him and give him a leave to recuperate. The generals below were all angry, and only waited for the commanding envoys upstairs to shout thank you with imperial equipment, and everyone shouted and danced together in the mountains again, kowtowed a few times, and took the official reward, and first dissipated in the most prosperous place in the world for a few days.

The following consequences were all saluted like a ceremony, the drum and horn in the army sounded again, and the Huanqing army retreated to the west, walking along the road street to Liangmen. The official family was favorable, and the army of the class division could temporarily live in Bianliang City, and the Privy Council placed them in the west camp of Bianliang between the Liang Gate and the Jinshui Gate to defend the imperial city.

Huanqingjun came and went quickly, and left Yujie in a blink of an eye. Zhao Ji also glanced to the west a few times, looked back to the south, and frowned: "Why hasn't this Shenwu Changsheng Army entered the Vermilion Bird Gate yet?" What about the person in charge? ”

At this moment, there are also ministers on the Xuande floor who are talking in a whisper, and the class teacher is a success, naturally one army follows another. Now the Huanqing army is gone, but there is no sign of the Shenwu Changsheng army. This is not the only sin of arranging the dispatch of the imperial front and losing the etiquette, Cai Jing glanced at Liang Shicheng with a smile.

As soon as Zhao Ji asked here, Wu Min had already come out of the crowd and bowed: "Your Majesty doesn't dare to take the blame!" If you have made a good deed, your subordinates should be impeached and investigated, and they will ask for punishment, and please punish the saints heavily! ”

Zhao Ji glanced at Wu Min, and then remembered that Wu Min's achievements in presiding over such a strong army as the Huanqing Army were not small, and he might have to rely on him to preside over the Xifu and support the military affairs in the future. At the moment, he said warmly: "The subordinate subordinates have to be inspected from time to time, and they must not slack off, I still have high hopes for you." ”

Wu Min also danced and worshipped: "How dare the minister not do his best, and then die!" "I wiped a cold sweat in my heart, this shop is a gamble to win!

Zhao Ji returned to the throne by himself, and shook his head lightly: "But it's trouble." ”

At the end of Huanqingjun's dedication, Zhao Ji's breath of relief was relieved. Thinking about going to the ancestral temple to comfort the ancestors, and also to make sacrifices in the suburbs, a large number of rituals and notes, I feel troublesome. Thinking about it, it seems that the Shenwu Winning Army is at most like this, and suddenly he is a little slack. These days I don't feel good, but I haven't evacuated much. Now for Xiao Yan, the trouble that caused the wrestling between the DPRK and China can be regarded as a judgment, although Cai Jing's opinion was not adopted this time, but Cai Jing has also reverted, can't this thing be done?

As soon as people slack off, they can't wait for the end of the day in front of them and a good rest for themselves.

Liang Shicheng observed the words beside him, and said in a low voice: "Official, the Shenwu Changsheng Army is nothing more than that." The city of Bianliang has also rejoiced in this ceremony, and the morale of the people has been taken care of. The official family is still very complicated in serving affairs, and the ministers send people to let the Shenwu Changsheng Army speed up the journey, and it is just too early. To comfort the Shenwu Changsheng Army, the official family does not need to announce it in person, and the privy deputy envoy Wu Min Gong can replace him, what do the officials think? ”

Zhao Ji nodded slightly, Liang Shicheng was about to send his inner secretaries to pass on the message, at this time, he heard outside the south gate of Bianliang City, the voice of Huang Zhong Da Lu suddenly sounded, coming from afar, enveloping all around. And there is a faint singing voice, even if it is inaudible here, but there is already a kind of reverberating spirit.

Upstairs in Xuande, everyone changed sè, and only then did Wu Min, who returned to the shift, ask, "What is this?" ”

A henchman who has been running around this time wiped the sweat on his head and replied: "My lord, after pressing for half an hour, it is not the Shenwu Changsheng Army who has entered the city from the south, and that Xiao Yan!" ”
