Chapter 263: Flowers and Knives Coexist
Ten days later, Renshou Palace. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
A group of palace maids stood in a row, with cold expressions and unrestrained smiles, each holding a red-lacquered tray with disassembled armor on it.
Under the personal service of Zhang Yan and Princess Zhou, Li Mu was dressed in the armor of the Ming Dynasty general's mountain pattern, calm and calm, showing the domineering, mighty, and fearlessness that a man should have.
Li Mu didn't want to wear this kind of heavy copper and iron mountain pattern armor, with the current hardness of his body, he didn't need the protection of armor in ancient times, and he could be killed at will in the enemy army with a flying fish suit to cover his body.
However, Zhang Yan was worried when he heard that he was going to personally take the Jinyi Wei out of the customs to conquer the Jurchens, no matter how he guaranteed it, even if he was tossed half dead on the phoenix couch to prove the strength of his body, he would always have to wear the armor that the inner government had carefully built for seven days to rest assured.
Faced with the beauty's worries, Li Mu didn't shirk too much, and finally chose to compromise and put on this bulky armor.
The flexibility of the armor is limited a lot, and it can only do some simple movements, such as bending down and bowing the head.
At this time, Li Mu was lowering his head, looking at the two beauties and four Qianqian jade hands, fiddling with the skirt of the armor for him, and wiping the combat boots with his hands from time to time, as if there was dust on them.
Seeing this, Li Mu said affectionately: "Yan'er, Yu'er doesn't need to wipe it, it will be dirty anyway." ”
Yu'er is the name given by Li Mu to Princess Zhou, and Princess Zhou, who was born poor, has no name, only one surname, Zhou.
During this time, the relationship between the three became closer and closer, and in private, Li Mu did not call Zhang Yan the queen mother as before, but changed her name to Yan'er to be more intimate.
I thought that Princess Zhou would also have a complete name, but after asking, Li Mu knew why there were Queen Zhou in history, Queen Zhou, and Zhou, but there was no mention of the complete name, and there was very little information about this.
In this case, Li Mu gave Princess Zhou a name, the same as Zhang Yan for the single word, royal, Zhou Yu, the royal word is unique to the royal family, and the status is lofty, this royal word can reflect his love for Princess Zhou.
Because the royal character is exclusively for the royal family, Li Muqi has an exclusive meaning in it, that is, from now on, the princess of Zhou Zhou will be his exclusive woman, and the private possession of items will die.
Surnames and first names have a very important meaning to the ancient Central Plains people, who not only carry 5,000 years of thick culture, but also have some other things in it, such as a kind of recognition.
When she named Princess Zhou the word Yu, Zhang Yan, who came up with ideas on the side, was envious, if she didn't hold the identity of her sister and be the queen mother, otherwise she would definitely be jealous.
Since she has an independent name, it can be said that Princess Zhou has undergone earth-shaking changes, and she is particularly obsessed with Li Mu, in addition to taking care of Zhu Cihong, she stays in Renshou Palace almost every day, showing her alluring style.
It's not like Zhang Yan's helplessness when she pretended to reward it to Li Mu at that time.
....
"The husband is going on an expedition, and the concubine can only do these trivial things." Zhang Yan, who straightened up, wiped the fine sweat on her forehead, although she was only waiting for Li Mu to wear armor, and there was Princess Zhou next to her to help, which also made her tired enough.
Princess Zhou, who stood up with Zhang Yan, also spoke: "Yes, Lord Li, the concubine and the imperial sister-in-law can only do these things, after all, the battlefield belongs to men alone, and women can't help too much on the side, but will add to the chaos." ”
Up to now, Princess Zhou and Li Mu have become husband and wife, but some of them still have faces as hot as little women, and they dare not follow Zhang Yan to call them so.
Li Mu put his arms around Princess Zhou, let her lie on the cold armor, and stretched out his hand to pick up the delicate chin of the beauty in his arms, because he was wearing gloves on his hands, and the back and fingertips of the gloves were embedded with copper plates, he didn't dare to exert himself, for fear of cutting through the delicate skin of the beauty in his arms.
"This seat will personally lead the Jinyi Guard out of the customs to conquer the Jurchens, is it that why Princess Zhou calls Yu'er's man?"
Princess Zhou lay in Li Mu's arms, feeling the coldness of the armor with both hands, and her chin was gently raised, so that she maintained a posture of looking up, looking at the two eyes that could burn people, and the domineering copper pieces of her fingertips were transmitted in her mind, and she was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say.
Zhang Yan next to her couldn't help laughing when she saw Princess Zhou's stupidity, and joked for Li Mu's whole shoulders devouring beast: "Sister, my husband is going to fight for the Ming Dynasty, and now is not the time to be petty." ”
"Da Ming?" Li Mu retorted: "Queen Mother, the ministers are not for the Ming Dynasty, the ministers are all for Yan'er." ”
After speaking, he put on a look of being willing to give up the world for the beauty.
Princess Zhou saw Zhang Yan who was smiling, and then looked at Li Mu's burning eyes, and said with a red face for a long time: "The concubine Yu'er hopes that her husband will return triumphantly and return to the dynasty victoriously." ”
"The cheap concubine Yan'er also hopes that her husband will triumph as soon as possible, and he will show his majesty in the future." Zhang Yan was blessed on the side, and blessed with the sadness of parting.
Li Mu lowered his head and kissed Princess Zhou in his arms, and then pulled Zhang Yan to taste the two red lips, and then carefully looked at the two beauties of various colors in his arms, and said slowly.
"Rest assured, your husband is invincible in this world, not to mention that there are three thousand brocade guards and wolf guards under his command, and it is only a matter of time before he triumphs."
Turning his head to look at Zhang Yan in his arms, he said: "Yan'er, when the time comes, as the queen mother in the Taihe Palace, you will have to dance a song for the ministers to celebrate the victory and return to the court." ”
"Okay, when the husband returns to the dynasty victoriously, the concubine will be honored by the queen mother in the Taihe Palace, and dance in front of the hundred officials to celebrate her husband."
After speaking, Zhang Yan saw Princess Zhou on the opposite side and proposed: "The concubine will also take her sister to dance for her husband." ”
Li Mu stared at Princess Zhou curiously and asked, "Really, Yu'er?" ”
"Hmm." Princess Zhou nodded obediently.
"The phoenix dances on the Taihe Palace." Thinking about the scene at that time, Li Mu smiled expectantly: "One queen and one concubine, it must be an indescribable scene, my husband likes it very much." ”
"Soon, the Jurchens will never be able to turn over at the feet of your husband, and the brocade-clothed wolf guards will suppress the Jurchen clan for eternity."
Zhang Yan and Princess Zhou said in unison: "The concubine hopes that her husband will return early." ”
After talking about the love of children, Li Mu took the helmet in Princess Zhou's hand and said to Zhang Yan: "It's almost time, Yan'er should also prepare, and I will take the oath on behalf of the emperor in a while, and I should also go to meet the wolf guard, and then..." ”
He kissed Zhang Yan's lips and said, "Listen to the queen mother's decree to her ministers, and lead the brocade-clothed wolf cavalry guards to conquer the Jurchens of the clan who will never recruit peace." ”
"The concubine knows." Zhang Yan responded, and after speaking, she saw Princess Zhou on the side walking over and holding her hand and said, "Why don't my sister go with my sister, and the two of us sisters will give an order to our husband together." ”
"Ah, sister-in-law, this is not in accordance with the rules." Princess Zhou looked at Zhang Yan hesitantly.
Li Mu heard that Zhang Yan was going to invite Princess Zhou to announce the decree together, and saw that she hesitated and interjected: "What's wrong with this, I see who dares to object, the imperial sword on your husband's waist just needs a sacrificial flag." ”
With Li Mu's affirmation, Princess Zhou nodded and said, "Well, the concubine listens to her husband and sister-in-law." ”
After speaking, the two left Renshou Palace hand in hand.
Li Mu didn't go together, the three of them had different routes, he wanted to go out of the palace to find the wolf cavalry guard, and then receive the holy decree of the expedition outside the Fengtian Gate.
Riding on the royal horse also covered with armor, Li Mu was about to make a detour out of the palace, at this time the jade platform of Fengtianmen must be full of Chinese military ministers, at this time he left the palace from the main gate is a little inappropriate, in order to avoid suspicion, it is better to leave through other side doors.
....
Under the Fengtian Gate, no one is allowed to enter, the originally wide open space in front of the city gate is neatly covered with brocade guards and wolf riders, a total of 3,000 people, horizontal and vertical, without a trace of crookedness.
These wolf riders and guards wore helmets and armor one by one, and rode armored war horses under their crotches, silent, and the forest was lined up under the Fengtian Gate, only the war horses occasionally tilted their heads, so that the ministers on the jade platform knew that these wolf riders were alive.
"I said everyone, the Queen Mother is coming soon, right?"
"It's coming soon, look at this hour, it should be almost the hour specified by Qin Tianjian."
The Queen Mother has not yet arrived, these ministers looked relaxed, without too much restraint, and one of the ministers glanced at the wolf guards below and said curiously.
"Ladies and gentlemen, when do you say that there will be so many cavalry in the Jinyi Guard? It looks weird and oozing. ”
"Don't say it, Commander Li of Jinyiwei will come in a while, if you hear us talking about Jinyiwei, be careful."
"Yes, don't you know that the statistics team set up by the Ministry of War is now thoroughly investigating the World Guard? Although this Raushzi's statistical team can't stand us, there is still an inspection team. ”
"It's better to talk less and do more."
"Also, who would have thought that if you see this Chongzhen Dynasty, it will be even more than the Apocalypse Dynasty.... Alas. ”
"There's no way that the Queen Mother is the only one who favors Jinyiwei today."
"Yes, I heard that the feudal kings and royal clansmen in those places were closely watched by the Dongchang Jinyi Guard, and if they were not careful, they would..." An official looked scared.
....
"The Queen Mother has arrived." A loud shout suddenly made all the ministers stop their discussion.
Under the greeting of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, Zhang Yan took Princess Zhou and slowly ascended to the jade platform of Fengtianmen.
Wei Zhongxian, as the eunuch of the imperial pen, no matter what the holy decree must pass through him, after helping Zhang Yan sort out the holy decree to be used, he followed him to Fengtianmen, responsible for the next affairs.
As Zhang Yan stood on the jade platform, the entire Fengtianmen became solemn and silent.
Under the gaze of Princess Zhou, Zhang Yan took a step forward and asked calmly, "Has the commander of Jinyi Wei made Li Mu arrive?" ”
"Queen Mother, take a look at the old slave." Wei Zhongxian bowed to Zhang Yan, and then took the dust and shouted to the wolf riders below: "Xuanjin Yiwei commanded the envoy to meet him." ”
"Xuanjin Yiwei commanded the envoy to meet him."
"Xuanjin Yiwei commanded the envoy to meet him."
After three sounds, the voice was about to fall in the sky above Fengtianmen, and Li Mu, who had just arrived on a royal horse, replied: "The commander of the Chen Jinyi Guard will make Li Mu meet him." ”
As if they had received an order, the three thousand wolf guards controlled their horses and moved to both sides in unison, giving way to a passage facing Fengtianmen from the middle.
The wolf cavalry guard's movements like a person made the ministers on the jade platform gasp, and they didn't dare to say anything, and they were honestly spectators.
I have never seen a guard soldier so neat and uniform, with consistent movements, as if a person was beating a drum, which was shocking.
When Zhang Yan saw this scene, she was also relieved, at least on the surface, these wolf guards were very powerful, and she had a little more confidence in Li Mu's expedition to the Jurchens.
Seeing Li Mu riding a royal horse to the front of the wolf cavalry guard, Zhang Yan commanded: "Duke Wei declares the decree." ”
"Whoa."
Wei Zhongxian walked to the jade platform with the holy decree and shouted at Li Mu: "Jinyiwei commanded Li Mu to take the order. ”
"Minister, take the order."
Li Mu turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee on the ground, and the three thousand wolf cavalry guards behind him also dismounted with him and knelt down on one knee to receive orders.
Similarly, on the jade platform, except for Zhang Yan, everyone else has to bow and obey the order.
After a while, Wei Zhongxian unfolded the holy decree in his hand and solemnly recited.
"Fengtian transported, the emperor said: There is a family named Jurchens in the land of Liaodong,...... Since its annexation, it has always been deeply ...... by the emperor's grace, but now the Jurchens do not want to repay the favor, repeatedly violate the Ming border pass...., very .....angry, for the Ming officials but in vain to care for the grace of heaven..., set up as a family that will never recruit peace,..... The special Jinyi guard went out to fight against the traitors, and the national prestige was upright.... ”
"Chin this."
The content of the whole holy decree, most of the literary language, but the general meaning Li Mu understood, the previous content is that there is a race called Jurchens in Liaodong, when they did not belong to the Ming Dynasty, life did not know how difficult it was, almost to the edge of extinction, and then attached to the Ming Dynasty, all this has changed, the Ming Dynasty not only gave the Jurchens a place to live, gave the officials, it can be said that it was deeply favored by the emperors of the past dynasties, and now it is good, this wolf-hearted thing, betrayed the Ming Dynasty, and repeatedly violated the Ming frontier, it is really unbearable, So today, the Queen Mother and the Emperor are going to send Jinyi Guards out of the customs to clean up these betrayed Jurchens.
After the holy decree was recited, Wei Zhongxian shouted again: "Jinyi Wei commanded Li Mu to step forward to receive the decree. ”
"Minister, Commander." After speaking, Li Mu got up and walked towards the jade platform, respectfully accepting the holy decree in Wei Zhongxian's hand.
Zhang Yan was a little uneasy when she saw Li Mu who had received the holy decree, and once again instructed softly as if she was in Renshou Palace: "Li Aiqing, the mourning family is waiting for you to return triumphantly." ”
"Queen Mother, the minister obeys! It will be a triumphant return. Li Mu glanced at Zhang Yan, who was a little excited, and then at Princess Zhou, who had just gotten up, gave the two girls a reassuring look, turned around and got off the jade platform, and walked towards the wolf guard.
The civil and military officials who got up also congratulated at this time: "I wish Lord Li the victory of leading the Jinyi Guard." ”
Returning to the imperial horse, Li Mu turned over his horse, pulled out the imperial sword at his waist and shouted: "For the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, the Jurchen rebellion will be rebellious, and the national prestige will be victorious!" ”
At the same time, the wolf cavalry guard, who had just turned over on the war horse, also followed Li Mu to draw the saber on his waist and shouted in unison: "Wan Sheng!" ”
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
The voice reached into the sky, echoing over the Mukden Gate.
The reason why Li Mu did this was not to boost morale, the wolf cavalry guard composed of cyborgs did not need to boost morale in this way, he was showing the strength of the wolf cavalry to the civil and military officials on the jade platform, and also told Zhang Yan and Princess Zhou that their husbands would definitely win back.
After Gao He finished, Li Mu waved his hand and signaled the wolf cavalry to pull out the camp, leave Fengtianmen, and march towards Shanhaiguan, with two large flags in front of the team.
On one pole, the brocade clothes are guarded by wolves, and the other is written with Li characters.
With Li Mu leading the wolf cavalry guards out of the capital, the history of the Ming plane officially opened the curtain of change, and the fate of the Jurchens will also undergo unpredictable changes. (To be continued.) )
