Chapter 76: Unambiguous
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little moved in their hearts. The enthronement ceremony of the new emperor is the most glorious moment of an emperor, and several successive emperors will not say everything simple on the matter of enthronement. Hearing Guan Yi say this, the ministers were inevitably a little surprised in their hearts, and they knelt on the ground in unison and shouted, "Your Highness is wise." “
Zhong Hui came out of the palace and hurried to the city defense camp. The death of the emperor is a major event, and he cannot be negligent.
Hurried to the city defense camp, but he didn't have time to inspect the situation of the barracks, so he summoned Zhong Yu, the four major battalions of the city defense camp, and the marquis of Yu to the main tent.
"I urgently summoned you here because I have important things to explain, and I just got the news that Your Majesty has passed away this morning. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces were as pale as day. The death of the emperor was a huge test for their city defense battalion, and in Shangjing, a large city without walls, the patrol manpower on weekdays was overstretched, and the current situation was definitely more severe than usual.
Zhao Ming frowned and said: "Commander, if we wait until we are fully organized and have five battalions, we can all be dispatched, but now, we only have three battalions, and the total is less than 30,000, how can we inspect the entire capital?"
"The Imperial City is guarded by the Praetorian Guards, and we don't need to go out, the east and north avenues of the capital are taken over by the Gyeonggi battalion, and the four sides are also patrolled by the Gyeonggi battalion, we only need to take care of the upper capital and the south and west gates. ”
Zhang Dabiao listened to Zhong Hui's words and said hurriedly: "Isn't the four roads in the capital the territory of our city defense battalion? Why do we want them to take care of the Gyeonggi camp, and our own territory will be in charge of ourselves." ”
Xu Hua said next to him: "What's the matter, what's the matter? Just rely on the people in your fire camp? You don't have to think about anything. ”
"You...... What do you mean by that, slippery? If you don't make it clear, I'm not done with you today. ”
Zhao Ming looked at the two of them arguing there, and said in a clear manner: "The expansion has not yet begun, our city defense battalion is understaffed, and now it is the time of His Majesty's death, and there are many things in Beijing, so naturally we must deal with safety first." ”
Zhong Hui looked at the three of them and said, "Okay, let's not talk about it." As soon as this matter is over, we will immediately begin to expand the city defense battalion, and we must complete the formation by the end of next winter. ”
"That's what the Commander said. Zhao Ming said.
’
"Okay, now I'll assign the task. ”
As soon as Guan ascended the throne, he needed to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens and announce it to the world.
The edict was written by the priest Hu Tu, although he was called Hu Tu, but he was not ambiguous at all. First the people were notified by edict, and then the letters of state were presented to the neighbors.
The ceremonial affairs were presided over by the Great Prime Minister Handao himself, and Chang Cui Bo assisted in the ceremonial affairs of the Hanxiang Temple. In the past three days, Handao has been running around and working hard about the altar.
Han Dao is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, who is old and sick, but he has been presiding over the rituals. It is precisely because of the cold road to preside over the sacrifice that within three days, all matters of the sacrifice will be arranged.
In the past three days, Zhong Hui has not participated in the patrol task of the city defense battalion, and at this moment, his mood can be described as extremely complicated.
Prince Guan Yi assigned him a special task to accompany Princess Guan Yue in the western suburbs to relax and relieve her suppressed sadness. Looking for Zhonghui, firstly, Guan Yi is more at ease with Zhonghui, and Guan Yue is also more familiar with Zhonghui. Second, no one else dared to accompany Guan Yue.
When he first received this task, Zhong Hui's heart refused. But after thinking about it, Guan Yue is also quite pitiful, she was born in the emperor's family since she was a child, if she didn't have a father who loved her, maybe her fate would be to marry a foreign royal family, and then spend her life with a person she had never met.
She has no mother since she was a child, her father is depressed all day long, and her brother is busy every day, and no one accompanies her, which makes her form a feeling of being brutal and willful. Actually, she is still very sensible.
After all, they know each other, and Zhong Hui will help if he thinks he can. So, he left the position of the city defense camp he held and accompanied Guan Yue to play and relax in the western suburbs.
Speaking of which, this is the first time that Zhong Hui relaxes and takes a closer look at the scenery of the western suburbs.
"Thank you. Zhong Hui said suddenly.
"Well, thank me for what?" Guan Yue, who was sullen, was suddenly stunned by Zhong Hui's words, and asked in confusion.
Zhong Hui looked at the snow around him, "Thank you for allowing me to stop and take a look at the beautiful scenery around me." I had never noticed that the most beautiful scenery was all around me. ”
Girls' minds are more delicate, and a sentence that has nothing to do with her may have a completely different meaning to the person concerned.
Guan Yue was listening quietly, but when she heard Zhong Hui say that the most beautiful scenery was beside him, she looked at herself, her face turned red, she lowered her head, and muttered embarrassedly, and her depressed mood was swept away.
Zhong Hui saw that Guan Yue's face was flushed, but he just thought it was cold and frozen, so he didn't care too much.
Eh, this princess is delicate, and she just came out for a short walk, and her body couldn't stand it.
Thinking of this, he felt it, took off his robe, and put it on Guan Yue.
Guan Yue was thinking back to what Zhong Hui had just said, when suddenly a thick velvet robe draped over her. She looked up and looked at Zhong Hui with wide, puzzled eyes.
Zhong Hui also looked at her, and suddenly felt that such a Guan Yue was also quite cute.
"It's cold, let's go back. Don't freeze you. Zhong Hui spoke.
"Yes. Guan Yue didn't listen to Zhong Hui's words at all, her mind was now full of Zhong Hui's actions just now. Now she is in turmoil. From childhood to adulthood, no one has given her such delicate care as Zhong Hui.
The next day, it snowed again in Shangjing, this time the snow was heavier, and a thick layer was laid on the ground.
As usual, Zhong will accompany Guan Yue for a walk on the snow, and the dull air inside can hardly make people feel happy, so Zhong Hui suggests that Guan Yue go out for a walk more. Zhong Hui was by Guan Yue's side, looking at the thick snow around him, and sighed in his heart, no matter where he went, the beautiful snow scene always made people happy. He looked at Guan Yue and found that Guan Yue had been walking with his head down and stunned.
Zhong Hui suddenly had a childish idea in his heart.
He wrapped a ball of snow from the ground, crumpled the snow into a ball, and smashed it towards Guan Yue's back. "Smack. "It's a pity that Zhong Hui's accuracy is a little poor, and the snow ball smashed on Guan Yue's head, making Guan Yue stumble.
She turned her head and looked at Zhong Hui with wide eyes and surprise, a lump of snow still left on her head.
