Chapter 121: Behind Me
Half a month later.
Sixty Jiazi once Qinshan Grand Ceremony is coming.
The emperor led the crowd to travel and went to Qinshan to hold a ceremony to seal the heavens, leaving Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to supervise the country, and the general Yuan Huanliang to sit in the imperial capital to organize military protection.
The Qinshan Heaven Sealing Ceremony has always been held once in sixty years, no matter which dynasty or generation, there is never a vacancy.
Li Zesheng, as the founding monarch of the Daqing Dynasty, will naturally not miss such things to promote the emperor's prestige, but now his eldest prince is only nine years old, and the second prince is only two years old, in addition to the two concubines who are about to give birth.
On this trip, safety is also the top priority. He brought Qin Yanqi, who led the leader of the Dragon Mingwei, Xu Chunzhi, the commander of the Black Yan Army, and Yuan Huanchen, the second lang of the Yuan family.
As everyone knows, Yuan Jialang and Erlang inherited their father's different styles, Yuan Huan was good at guarding, and Yuan Huan Chen was good at attacking.
The guard work is in charge of the Black Yan Army and Long Mingwei, and if there is a small war, Yuan Huan Chen will lead the people as the forward troops. This is the emperor's arrangement.
In addition, the emperor also brought a lot of young civil officials with him, except for the little marquis Mu Chengxin, the most sacred heart in the group was Han Qiliang, the new champion.
Han Qiliang, as the champion of this new department, is not only brilliant in writing, but also good in appearance, very eloquent, originally a long distance, tiring boats, non-stop trekking through mountains and rivers is a very boring thing, but with Han Qiliang, there are a lot of laughter and laughter along the way.
I heard that Han Qiliang once traveled with a scholar when he was a teenager and traveled all over the country, because he knew more about the customs and customs along the way, no matter what the emperor wanted to hear, he could come with his mouth open, and he could speak eloquently, so he was ridiculed by the emperor, saying that he could speak with a mouth.
"Stop!" As a forward force, Yuan Huanchen has always been at the forefront, and has also undertaken the task of selecting and placing camps, although Long Mingwei also undertakes this task.
But the city defense army has always had a discordant relationship with Long Mingwei, which is not different because Long Mingwei changed a commander, after all, Qin Yanqi himself is a person of "Xu Chun's lineage", whether he wants to or not, he has long been branded, it can only be said that the later Qin Yanqi climbed another high branch and climbed to the emperor, wanting to cross the previous "master".
"Settle right here, notify the follow-up troops." Yuan Huanchen ordered.
Unlike Qin Yanqi, who was bent on guarding the emperor and wanted to earn performance in front of the emperor, for fear of being robbed of his limelight by the new champion, Yuan Huanchen didn't care about these things at all, he was originally from a general, he was a famous family, and his own strength was outstanding, he didn't need extra flattery, he could get what he wanted.
It is precisely because of this reason that in the process of this march, it has always been the city defense army that has steadily suppressed Long Mingwei, which has made the city defense army very happy, and also made many of Long Mingwei's old troops feel on fire.
If it was Long Mingwei, which was led by General Xu in the past, when was it suppressed by the city defense army? It's just that the emperor doesn't know anyone, and he was taken advantage of by the villain who can only sneak around and drill the camp.
Not only that, today's Long Mingwei is no longer the Long Mingwei of the past, the original tacit cooperation of the team has been broken up and scattered in various teams, not to mention that the combat power has been greatly reduced, and even the investigation of the news is much slower than before because the joint personnel are not familiar. However, they did not report these things directly to the emperor, let alone ask General Xu for help.
Long Mingwei's old department was very aggrieved, at this time, Long Mingwei was more good-looking, and his actual ability was not even half of what he used to be, not only they thought so, but even there were many people in the city defense army who thought so.
This point, Xu Chunzhi, as the former commander of Long Mingwei, knows it well, and the only thing he has clearly indicated to his henchmen is that there is still only one word, that is, forbearance.
Endure it, and if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan.
The enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light.
Only the more chaotic "we" are, the more reassuring the enemy will be, and then show their feet, only in this way can we really give General Zhao Xiaofeng and the entire Black Yan Army and Long Mingwei justice!
"Oh? Encamped? When the herald informed the emperor of the news, he was having a good conversation with Han Qiliang, the new champion, and Mu Chengxin, the little marquis.
In the past, the emperor knew very little about Mu Chengxin, only knew that he was a child who was not in good health and rarely went out, but after more contact, he found that he was a knowledgeable and talented young man.
If Han Qiliang is rich in experience in traveling south and north, Mu Chengxin is really rich in five cars, not only learning the four books and five classics, Confucian classics, but also all kinds of miscellaneous studies, and even how to make a carriage can be said to be the first thing, which is really surprising to the emperor.
The only thing is that this kid's body is weaker, and the emperor is a little emotional, but Mu Chengxin's body is also very weak......
Now that they were camping, Mu Chengxin and Han Qiliang naturally didn't bother anymore, so they got up and said goodbye.
The emperor nodded, and at this time, Qin Yanqi's voice sounded outside the carriage.
"Your Majesty, there is a package sent by the imperial capital urgently."
"Bring it in." The Emperor said.
"Yes."
When the emperor opened the package, it was a stack of folds that had been approved by the eldest princess, as well as the "missing" letters of the queen and Concubine Ning.
This Qinshan ceremony, since the sky was sealed, he asked for sincerity, because the emperor did not take the concubine to travel, in order to show that his body was pure and calm, so Concubine Ning also had trouble with him for a while.
Not all of them will be sent, he and the eldest princess siblings have been together since childhood, and they have long been familiar with each other and trust each other to the core, and being able to be sent by the eldest princess must be extremely important, making her feel that she needs to know and make a judgment.
The emperor gave instructions one by one, and by the time he had done this, it was already dark, and the chief eunuch had asked for instructions for dinner many times.
"Your Majesty......" The chief eunuch spoke again.
"Alright, let's eat." The emperor waved his hand, got up and stretched his body, and suddenly felt that he was over thirty years old, and in the past, he felt that he had endless energy when he had more things to deal with, but now he occasionally felt tired.
Or is it really easy to fight the country and difficult to defend the country?
Suddenly, the commotion outside caught the emperor's attention.
"What's so noisy?" The Emperor asked.
"Ouch, Your Majesty, these little cubs are really full of energy, they have been gone for a day, and there is even a competition this night." The chief eunuch knew that the emperor was concentrating on his work and rarely noticed the movement outside, so he immediately explained.
"Oh? Fight? The emperor smiled and shook his head, showing a look of nostalgia, he suddenly thought that during the eight-year war, occasionally during the intervals of the war, the generals in the army also liked to compete, and it was also during this period that he discovered such a bright star as Xu Chunzhi, and also made him gradually become his most trusted and most able to entrust his safety to the courtier.
Now, it's a little different......
The Emperor sighed in his heart, and soon put this sentimental emotion behind him.
He is the emperor, the emperor cannot be swayed by emotion, he must be absolutely rational and wise, everyone in the world has their own goals and desires, and the emperor is the highest position that gathers and carries the desires and purposes of the whole world.
If you are not careful, you will never recover.
I hurriedly had dinner, "I'm going to take a look, too." The Emperor did not hold back his interest and walked out of the tent.
"See ......" Soon someone noticed the emperor appearing, and wanted to salute but was stopped by him waving his hand, so he came to the scene of the competition quietly.
"Oh? Han Qiliang and Qin Yanqi? The Emperor laughed, "It's an interesting combination, how did the two of them fight?" ”
The generals beside the emperor immediately replied smartly: "Back to the emperor, General Qin originally relied on his identity and did not end up, and the first competition was some low-level soldiers, everyone was just joking, but no one expected that the new champion would also end up in the competition, and won more than a dozen people in a row, almost beating our city defense army, Heiyan army, and Long Mingwei, is this worth it?" ”
The general raised his voice as he spoke, and became emotional: "The generals of the three armies are all interested in him, and they have surrounded him, how do you know that this kid is not only good at reading, but also good at fighting, now General Qin can't sit still, and he has to kill his majesty, Your Majesty, you are better than come early, haha...... Belch! ”
The general finished his words with a crackle in his mouth, and he was happy in his heart, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, wait, this one next to him seems to be the emperor? Is it appropriate for him to talk to the emperor and his old man in this tone? Is it appropriate???
Whether it is suitable or not, the general no longer knows, the emperor just waved his hand with a smile, and he immediately ran away as if he had been amnestied. The only time in his life that he was so close to the emperor, and he said so much in one breath, it was enough to brag to his brothers for the rest of his life.
"Hmm......" The emperor crossed his arms and glanced at the competition between Han Qiliang and Qin Yanqi in the field, "Heh, there is still a bit of chess against the opponent's posture?" "He himself is a master of martial arts, and when he was a child, Xu Chunzhi's kung fu was also guided by him, but Xu Chunzhi's kind of monster-level imp was as terrifying as a sponge absorbing water, and soon he was better than the blue, and after that, he never fought a practice battle with Xu Chunzhi.
Without him, it's too hurtful.
The emperor paused, feeling that he was really a little strange today, how could he keep thinking of those things with Xu Chunzhi in the past?
The emperor subconsciously glanced at the crowd, but saw Xu Chunzhi in an inconspicuous place behind him, he was still the same as usual, he didn't pay much attention to the lively and noisy scene, but stood in a quiet corner not far behind him, always keeping an eye on the dangers that might arise around him, both cautious and focused.
— as before.
The emperor felt that the firelight in front of him was flickering for a moment, a little hazy, and when he turned around and looked at Han Qiliang and Qin Yan competing again, he suddenly felt that there was a lot less fun.
With his eyesight, he could see at a glance that Qin Yanqi would definitely lose against Xu Chunzhi.
Han Qiliang, as the champion of the new department, can fight like this with Yunlu General Qin Yanqi, and he can really be said to be an all-round talent in civil and military affairs.
But by his side, there has long been such a more terrifying monster with both civil and military skills, but that guy has never been inconspicuous.
It's just that no matter how low-key it is, it can't hide the dazzling brilliance that burns people's eyes......
"Wow——!!!" The crowd burst into cheers.
It seems that Han Qiliang lost, and Qin Yanqi narrowly won a move.
The emperor also applauded along with all the soldiers, said a few words of praise and encouragement, and then turned away with a smile in his heart under the eager eyes of all the soldiers.
