Chapter 258: The military is mighty
was slandered as a demon, this is the biggest pain in Li Mingyuan's heart, he didn't recruit anyone, he didn't provoke anyone, he became a demon, although he has now been redressed, but it still makes people uncomfortable when he thinks about it.
"What's the matter, with me doing cattle and horses here, busy serving the people wholeheartedly, you are uniting one by one to rectify me, that's okay, I'm not doing it!" Li Mingyuan said that he was about to get up and stop doing it, but he was stopped by everyone again.
"Manly, big husband, can't you be broad-minded!" After being reprimanded by Zhao Qiying, Li Mingyuan obediently began to be a chef again.
It has a long history of being called flower chicken, and it is a special dish made by wrapping the processed chicken with soil and lotus leaves, and baking it. Its color jujube red and bright, fragrant, crispy and tender, is a family banquet picnic, a gift to relatives and friends. Although Li Mingyuan made a condensed version, he still managed to conquer everyone's tongues.
"It's delicious!" All the people who tasted the flower chicken couldn't help but smack their tongues.
"Ha Luha, where is this, there are still many delicacies you haven't tasted!" Li Mingyuan said proudly.
Everyone is shy and slapping Li Mingyuan's sycophants, there is no way, they eat others with soft mouths and take other people's short hands.
"Brother Li, is there anything more delicious in this world than called Hua Chicken?" Lin Zhong swallowed his saliva.
"Of course, you say, pizza!" Li Mingyuan came fluent in English.
"What is pizza?" Lin Zhong asked.
"A delicious cake!"
"How delicious is it?"
"It's a hundred times better than calling flower chicken!"
"Gollum!" The small yard was full of the sound of big guys swallowing saliva.
"When will it be made. Let's see! Zhao Qiying said with a hint of greed.
When Li Mingyuan was about to sell Guanzi, the eunuch in the palace came.
"Let me enter the palace, for what?" Li Mingyuan looked at the eunuch who passed the decree, and was a little embarrassed.
At this time, everyone was angry and laughed by Li Mingyuan's nonsense, although the eunuch was just a eunuch, but he represented the emperor, and in this era, he was called an angel. How could anyone dare to give an angel such a faceless.
"Hehe, Captain Li, the emperor said very clearly in the holy decree. It's for you to enter the palace to discuss the prisoner sacrifice ceremony! The eunuch was also embarrassed.
"Mingyuan. Why are you stunned, take the order! Meng Ranhao looked at Li Mingyuan's stupid appearance, and he was also anxious, seeing that you are quite smart on weekdays. How can the chain be dropped at a critical moment.
Li Mingyuan was busy taking the holy decree. After being enshrined by a special person. Only then did he get into the carriage of the palace under the leadership of the angel.
"Master Meng, Brother Li is going. There shouldn't be any danger! Lin Zhong said worriedly.
"No, what's the danger! The emperor Chrysostom said that since he has admitted to pardoning his sins, he will definitely not take the opportunity to trouble him again! Meng Ranhao said confidently.
"He was not guilty in the first place!" Qiu Zhu and Yu Xin both muttered in secret.
Along the way, Li Mingyuan was still very apprehensive in his heart, after all, he was almost cut down as a demon of the White Lotus Sect, and it was uncomfortable to put it on anyone.
"Captain Li, don't be nervous, take it easy, the emperor has no ill will towards you!" The eunuch saw that Li Mingyuan seemed to be quite nervous, so he comforted. Li Mingyuan nodded with a tense face and did not speak.
In the palace, several important ministers are discussing many matters, and Li Mingyuan is also a very discerning master, looking at the official mansion, he knows that he is at least a third-grade master, and he is a miscellaneous lieutenant who is not in the stream, so it is better to stand aside obediently.
"Your Majesty, this prisoner sacrifice ceremony should not be too fanfare, if not, I am afraid that the Huns will not give up, the world is peaceful now, if it completely falls out with the Huns, I am afraid that the people of Li will be put in fire and water!" Ji Xiaoming, the secretary of the ministry, tirelessly admonished.
For these words, Zhao Changqing naturally couldn't listen to it, just kidding, Lao Tzu has been preparing for so long, and he has to wait for today, how can he not do it because of a sentence from this old guy, but Ji Xiaoming is a veteran of the two dynasties, and Zhao Changqing wants to give him some face. After taking a look, Li Mingyuan's curled figure was seen by Zhao Changqing.
"Li Mingyuan!" Zhao Changqing said leisurely.
"The minister is here!" Li Mingyuan shook his head and stood up quickly.
"You've been at the border for so long, what do you think of Lord Ji's words?" Zhao Changqing kicked the ball to Li Mingyuan.
Li Mingyuan looked at Ji Xiaoming's upright old face, and felt uncomfortable in his heart, girl, can he be involved in this matter with a small sesame function. You immortals are fighting, don't pull me in.
"Panic!"
Zhao Changqing: "~~~~~~~~! ”
"Don't be afraid, just say what you think!" Zhao Changqing said with perseverance.
The ministers also looked at Li Mingyuan suspiciously, thinking about how this young man came from, wasn't he still a demon of the White Lotus Sect not long ago, why was he so valued by the emperor now.
If you want to pretend to be stupid, you can't pretend to be stupid, Li Mingyuan had to grit his teeth, and said helplessly: "Lord Ji's words are right, although the world is peaceful now, the so-called gentleman can't be safe." Husbands and soldiers can't play, and they can't play; Soldiers cannot be abolished, and if they are abolished, they will be summoned. In the past, the prince of Wu was almost warlike and died, and the king of Xu Yan was also destroyed without martial arts. Therefore, the rule of the Ming King is also, the upper does not play with soldiers, and the lower does not abolish the military. I Dahua does not make a living for the dawn, and I can't start the war lightly, but I can't forget the war, and forgetting the war will be dangerous. ”
"If you forget to fight, you will be in danger, it is well said, the emperor, the minister seconded it!" Zhou Anwu, the secretary of the military department, immediately jumped out and said.
"The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, it's really terrifying!" Xie Xian did not express his position clearly, but what he meant by this was that even fools knew that he agreed with the emperor's suggestion.
"Master Ji, what do you think?" Zhao Changqing's tone already carried a hint of firmness.
Looking at the emperor's unwavering attitude, Ji Xiaoming took a deep breath and stopped insisting.
"Report, Your Majesty, everything is ready!" A general of the Imperial Forest Army entered the hall and knelt down.
Li Mingyuan was slightly stunned, the emperor who dared to love also liked to play the set of first chopping and then playing!
"Good. Ladies and gentlemen, go with the widow to see how fierce this Hun is, whether he is a Hun or my Dahua Erlang is more brave! Zhao Changqing got up and said confidently.
When Zhao Changqing appeared from the city tower, the bustling people outside the moat with no end in sight instantly burst into bursts of praise, such a scene made Zhao Changqing forget about Fang Cai's heavy concerns all at once, and couldn't help but wave to the crowd. Nowadays, countless Kong Ming lanterns have been lit here, suspended in mid-air, as bright as day. It's not too late. Smoke rose in all directions, and with a burst of roar, colorful fireworks shot into the air, which was extremely gorgeous.
This was the first celebration since Zhao Changqing ascended the throne. Although many of the rules are not yet mature. But there are also appearances. Fortunately, there are many people in the capital, and with the experience of rushing to the temple fair, this grand celebration will not go wrong. There are forbidden troops everywhere to maintain order, and they are not afraid of trampling and chaos.
Zhao Changqing overlooked the crowd of people downstairs, and suddenly gave birth to a sense of pride, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, it turned out to be not just an empty word, seeing those enthusiastic but somewhat blurry faces, the crowded place was praised everywhere, Zhao Changqing stomped on the wall, looked into the distance, and became calm and abnormal in his eyes.
Li Mingyuan glanced at Zhao Changqing on the side, and suddenly realized that the emperor in front of him was a little unfamiliar, how to say it, as if he was a different person, in the past, Zhao Changqing was more like a poet or painter, although there was a noble air flow up and down, but there was a poetic bookish atmosphere in his bones.
Just now...... The current Zhao Changqing is calm and determined, and he has a heroic look that the world is under control.
The cold wind was blowing, standing on this tuyere, his face was blown by the cold wind, and An Ruyi on the side carefully reminded: "Your Majesty, it's cold here, it's better to go inside and rest." ”
Zhao Changqing looked back, and said calmly in his eyes: "I am standing here, come, read the will." Li Mingyuan, you stand by my side. ”
Li Mingyuan stood beside Zhao Changqing, but his mind was different from Zhao Changqing's, and it was cold from a high place, which was his most intuitive experience.
Zhao Changqing pointed to the city tower: "Li Aiqing, have you seen it?" ”
"Wechen saw it."
"What do you think?"
"What Weichen thinks of is the anger of the common people, the two corpses, the blood splashed five steps, the anger of the Son of Heaven, the millions of corpses, the blood is drifting, and the life and death of the people are honored and disgraced to maintain His Majesty's next body."
Zhao Changqing smiled and said, "That's right, it turns out that I still have such a big stake, why didn't I know the Tao before?" ”
It was at this moment that Mingjin sounded, and then a eunuch in a big red dress raised his voice, stood up with a holy decree, and said loudly: "The system says: ......"
As soon as the holy decree was recited, the crowd knelt down one after another, and no one could hear what the holy decree was reciting, and it had already been blown away by the wind, and when the holy decree was recited, it was still the voice of the mountain calling long live. The voices of hundreds of thousands of people rang out, and although there was Lingluàn, it was still imposing.
Next, it was the Liangzhou Tiger Army that pressed the Huns to appear, Li Mingyuan and Zhao Changqing stomped on the wall, both slightly moved and uneasy, the heavy axis is here, there must be no mistakes.
There was a rumbling cannon sound in the distance, which was the signal of the review, and then the drum roared, as if even the earth couldn't help but tremble, and on the city tower, the huge drum sound accompanied by the trilling became more and more rapid, and even Li Mingyuan's heartbeat couldn't help jumping with it.
Everyone held their breath, and in the sound of the drums, a pair of eyes looked motionless at the end of the royal road, and at the end was darkness, in the darkness, but there seemed to be a force moving stupidly, they ...... It's coming!
For all the Hun captives, at this moment they are no different from the walking dead, they never thought that one day they would become the prisoners of the cowardly Han people, many bloody Huns have chosen to commit suicide to escape, but they are bloody, Ma Dayuan is even more ferocious, directly pulled the corpses of the dead Huns to feed the dogs, so that the living Huns are even more frightened, but they dare not die easily.
Originally, Ma Dayuan was going to lead a team with Li Mingyuan to be reviewed, but Li Mingyuan was wronged as a demon of the White Lotus Sect and was arrested and put in prison, so the responsibility fell on Ma Dayuan.
"I hope that the emperor can forgive Captain Li for his meritorious service in defending the country!" Ma Dayuan admires and respects Li Mingyuan, and hopes to have the opportunity to work with Li Mingyuan again.
Under the leadership of Ma Dayuan, the whole team is like a straight long line, gathering into a neat phalanx. Everyone's spacing, everyone's position is not bad at all, and the full four months of cào practice have made everyone a chess piece in the phalanx, these chess pieces are slightly jī moving, slightly proud, and slightly with a brave and vigorous force, like a newborn calf leaping yù try.
From time to time, a commotion in the distance came out, they were waiting, and so were the captains.
Night. It's already deep; Inky sky. There was a crescent moon hanging and a glimmer of starlight, but it never appeared. Occasionally, a meteor swept through the night sky with a cool feeling, and the blazing white light was so bleak and miserable. I don't know when the wind blew, and it was still a little gentle and wisps at first. Scattered with yellow willow tops and leaves. Later, it became more and more powerful and powerful. The wind was strong, almost as ferocious as a bison, and the cold wind was roaring. When the three-way drum was finished, Ma Dayuan's eyes lit up, a trace of jīng burst out of his eyes, his boots paused on the ground, and he shouted loudly: "Forward!" ”
The phalanx quietly marched forward in the wind, and the queue was neat and silent.
The Kong Ming lantern in the distance is getting brighter and brighter, getting closer and closer, and it can be faintly seen that in the distance, the people who were stopped by the forbidden army outside the imperial road, the moving human heads, stretched their necks, squinted, and looked at the end of the imperial road with bated breath.
At this time, the noise was still, and everyone wanted to see what the legendary Huns with three heads and six arms looked like, to see if they had a body like an iron tower and a fist the size of a casserole, whether they would hold a magic weapon in their hands, whether they would chant a mantra loudly in front of everyone, maybe after chanting the mantra, there would be lightning and thunder!
Ah, oh no, I knew I should have come in a robe, and when the club is where they call for wind and rain, wouldn't they be drenched?
A lot of speculation comes with a lot of anticipation, and everyone waits with bated breath.
Click...... Click...... Click...... Click......
At the end of the royal road, there was a voice, a uniform sound getting closer and closer, if you pay attention, someone will find that it is the sound of boots on the masonry floor, the strangest thing is that this sound does not seem to come from a person, but it is so neat.
Click...... Click...... Click...... Click......
Everyone's hearts were raised, and more speculation followed, this kind of voice, if you listen carefully, seems to be incomparably beautiful, making people feel a strong sense of oppression, as if Mount Tai is about to collapse in front of you, as if it is the prelude to the wind and rain.
Zhao Changqing also heard it, his face was slightly stunned, he could distinguish this voice from the wind, and couldn't help but glance at Li Mingyuan suspiciously, as if asking him, what is this?
Li Mingyuan just smiled lightly.
In the darkness, a column of figures appeared, as if they had come from the darkness, their faces were expressionless, their heads held high, tǐng xiōng, their steps walked in unison, and every time their boots landed, there was a trampling sound.
This is the Liangzhou Tiger Ben? Sure enough, it lives up to its name.
Compared with the brave and elite Liangzhou Tiger Ben, the Hun captives who followed behind were the main event, and when the captives appeared in front of everyone, all kinds of rotten eggs and rotten cabbage that had already been prepared were immediately beckoned.
"This, the common people don't have an ordinary hatred for the Huns!" Li Mingyuan said with emotion.
"The people are quite polite, at most throw some cabbage eggs, don't you all copy knives?" Xie Xian said with a strange expression.
Li Mingyuan came back to his senses and nodded thoughtfully.
The ceremony of sacrificing prisoners was very successful, Ma Dayuan and the border troops shined, but Li Mingyuan, the greatest hero, was forgotten. Not only Li Mingyuan didn't take it to heart, which made Xie Xian very satisfied.
After the prisoner sacrifice ceremony, Li Mingyuan fell into boredom again, and on this day, someone reported to Meng Ranhao, saying that two people had come to find Li Mingyuan. Meng Ranhao called Li Mingyuan and said, "There are two people looking for you outside, you go and have a look, if they are friends, please invite them in." ”
Mingyuan agreed, and stepped out of the mansion to see that the person who came was none other than Zhang Xin and Wang Qi. Li Mingyuan hurriedly took the two into the mansion and met Meng Ranhao. Meng Ranhao loved these two fierce generals very much.
Li Mingyuan asked, "Where did you two come from?" How did you find here?"
Zhang Xin said: "You beat and kicked Bao Yingang, and our brothers and sons did it under the beat and stripped that kid naked." Bao Tong just led the troops to arrest the two of us, and the two of us fled back to the Hou Mansion. Hou Ye, said that you lived in Bao Mansion, and later inquired, and learned that you were escorted to the capital. The two of us wanted to come, but the Hou Ye blocked left and right, but he didn't call, for fear that we would cause trouble. A few days ago, the spies reported that you had opened a bow and subdued beasts in the capital, and you were angry. This time, Hou Ye didn't stop him. The two of us came to the capital, and when I inquired, I found out that you lived in Master Meng's Mansion, so we came to find it. You, you open the bow and descend the beast, how big an official does the emperor give you?"
Li Mingyuan told him about the past, and asked someone to find Lin Zhong and introduce Zhang Xin and Wang Qi. Zhang Xin said: "I am nicknamed the big nerd, his nickname is the second nerd, I am also called the Great Ancestor, he is called the Second Ancestor." ”
Li Mingyuan glared and shouted, "How are you talking!" As soon as Jade Butterfly Lin Zhong looked at these two, he knew that Lu Dao was stunned, and hurriedly said: "It's all your own people, why do you mind!"
Wang Qi didn't speak for a long time, and when he saw Zhang Xinfu, he said, "You, you're really good here!" The two of us won't leave, let's practice martial arts together with Lin Zhong every day, and go to the capital city to have fun when we get bored. ”
Li Mingyuan thought to himself: This is not good! Zhang Xin and Wang Qi are the two troubles, the sky is not afraid, the earth is not afraid, we live in the godfather's house, if the two of them break into trouble, I am sorry for the godfather! In my opinion, it is better to leave quickly and find a house to live in.
"You two guys, you have no other skills except to make trouble, I really don't dare to leave you in the capital!" Li Mingyuan said with a headache. (To be continued......)
