(Ask for recommendation votes, you can leave a message to the author if you like it.) )
The hunting ceremony, Yunzhao is held once a year. As a rule, the hunting ceremony is usually held in mid-autumn and August, after which the saint will select the best sacrifice and ascend to the heavens.
The choice of hunting in autumn is that after mid-autumn, the farmland has completed the harvest, which can avoid destroying the crops in the farmland, and the second is because the animals after the autumn are preparing for the winter, and most of them are fat and strong.
Of course, the purpose of hunting is not simply to hunt and drink, but also to prevent the army from coveting comfort and abandoning cavalry and shooting. At the same time, hunting, as a military ceremony, is also a comprehensive exercise for military training.
Because of this, the hunting activities of the nine major countries include regular large-scale field hunting and small-scale hunting that is casual and flexible, and the hunting held in the autumn season of Yunzhao is included in the five permanent armies.
The Five Constants: Drill, Tuntian, Counterinsurgency, Autumn Siege and City Building!
What made Murong Huan uneasy was that this year's hunt was actually set for June, and this was the birthday of the saint, so could it be that the saint wanted to put that birthday banquet on the hunting ground? Why did he choose to hunt at this time? The army passed by, and the farmland was not green, which would inevitably cause irreparable losses, could it be that the saint had other arrangements?
Murong Huan told Shen Mu about this matter and wanted to hear Shen Mu's opinion.
Shen Mu was also confused, he didn't know anything about the affairs in the Yunzhao court. Ask yourself about such a big thing, isn't it an old virgin on a sedan chair...... Kidding me!
But what is certain is that there must be a big arrangement for this hunt.
Shen Mu suddenly thought of Sun Yike's analysis of the burning of Xingzhai Post Station that day, and guessed: "According to the following, this hunt may be very different from the past...... I'm afraid that the saint is going to take advantage of this hunt to choose a successor!"
Murong Huan pondered for a moment, then twisted his beard and said, "Actually, this king also thought of such a thing, but he didn't dare to confirm it. If that's the case, then this autumn siege will have some flavor! Mr. Shen, I won't tell you, Hui'er can't get out of her body now, my Pei'er...... Hey, it's hard to put into words! Now the West Mountain Road is busy...... In this hunt, we don't want to fight for any ranking, but we can't lose face...... As for whether the saint wants to choose the prince, this is not a matter that a courtier should be concerned about! This king just wants to ask Mr. Shen to accompany this king to participate in this hunt......"
Shen Mu pushed it again and again: "The prince said that he was laughing, what kind of occasion was that, Shen Mu was just a cloth cloth, how could he dare to blaspheme Tianwei...... Don't ....... ”
Murong Huan said: "Mr. Shen, the hunting is the best opportunity to solve the matter of the Tea Bureau. This king is the two overseers who have a difficult time how to bring you into the palace to meet the celebrant of ceremonies, and this opportunity is once in a lifetime...... Mr. Shen still thought about it...... As for the title, this king has informed the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War, and you will be the general of my Xishan Road at that time......!
Shen Mu was stunned: "Lord Wang, this ...... I didn't have an official position, and I didn't have an official resume. Suddenly became a third-grade official, it is unreasonable, I am afraid that I will be criticized!"
Murong Huan smiled: "Don't worry...... The name is only added temporarily. Besides, my Murong Palace's arrangement of a third-grade official, who dares to say a word? This hunt, as you said, has a lot of flavor...... If there is no one around this king to be a counselor, I am afraid that it will ...... This time, this king has asked for you, and I hope that Mr. can help. ”
Shen Mu frowned, there seemed to be a vague in Murong Huan's words, it was just a hunt, at most, it was a matter of selecting a successor within the royal family, as long as Murong Huan did not participate in the matter of establishing the prince, it should have nothing to do with his Murong Palace!
Murong Huan didn't think so, "there are many people who are popular", Murong Huan's plan to break Nansang and burn Ninghai a month ago shocked the Nine Kingdoms. And the fire at Xingzhai Post Station also gave a clear answer to businessmen from all over the world. Originally, Murong Huan wanted to push this matter to Nansang, but thinking that the two countries had not yet reached the stage of tearing their faces after all, they only said that the thieves in Tsing Yi Fang had seen the wealth and made evil deeds!
The countries knew it and didn't say it, but they were quite contemptuous of what Nansang had done......
What he despised was not that Xingzhai killed people and set fires, but that people killed them, and the fire was set out, but nothing was accomplished, and the farts didn't collapse two, and they were beaten to the ground!
Shame and ridicule......
Although the imperial court did not immediately reward this matter, the Ministry of Rites had already informed it today, and the sage was going to prepare a big gift to enshrine Murong Huan.
Such a great achievement, this reward, will naturally arouse the covetousness of everyone.
As the saying goes, when people sit at home, the pot comes from heaven!
Murong Huan had to plan ahead to avoid being caught off guard by that time.
As Murong Huan said, there was no one around him now!And Shen Mu was the only one who could help him......
Murong Huan saw Shen Mu groaning and knew that he was embarrassed. Then he retreated and said: "If Mr. Shen is in trouble, this king will never force you...... It's just that my old man doesn't have the ability to be a corporal of Lixian...... Alas!"
Shen Muwu was amused, could he not know what Murong Huan meant. Thinking that he had something to ask for him, and Murong Wangfu was the "big guy" of Xishan Road after all, if he couldn't offend him, he had to secretly helpless: "The prince is serious, if the prince doesn't dislike Shen Mu's weak ability, Shen Mu is willing to give it a try!"
Murong Huan laughed, he knew that Shen Mu couldn't refuse, and he also knew that Shen Mu would never refuse with his character, otherwise it would be in vain for him to wait for most of the night!
The time of the hunt is set for the tenth day of the first month of June, that is, the morning after tomorrow, the army will march out of the city to the mountain forest enclosure in the north of Chang'an.
The next day, Shen Mu found a dart bureau, and the dart bureau transported some specialties of the capital and a few letters back to Dingzhou.
After the arrangements were made, Shen Mu led Long Ze to buy some more clothes. Inform Long Ze that during his absence, Long Ze can go to Lanxi Pavilion to "learn the piano"! Don't cause trouble, after all, this is the capital, and lifting a brick may smash out a group of dignitaries.
Long Ze, as a Taoist cultivator, was not afraid of these people, but Shen Mu and Yiqi were not so chic.
Long Ze thought that he could "learn the piano"! How could he have other thoughts, and he agreed again and again!
Shen Mu remembered that the "King Kang" yesterday would definitely look for trouble again, and he was instructed again, be careful in everything, and hide if you can.
Long Ze smiled: "You kid Rory, it's a shame, I really can't ...... a fool."
That night, Murong Huan invited guests to a banquet, he only entered Beijing once a year, and there were many official friends in the capital, so if he was free, he still had to get acquainted with them.
Shen Mu and the others had no intention of participating, so they ate some casually in the West Chamber and rested early.
Long Ze told Shen Mu the secret of "Fengxingbu" again, and Shen Mu finished adjusting the Qi that night, and then taught silently in the room.
If you can integrate the "wind walk", in case there are three long and two short, you can still run away......
On the tenth day of the sixth month, the hour of the hour.
The weather in the nine cities of Chang'an is strict, the main road of the north gate has already been emptied, and hundreds of civil and military officials stand on both sides of the road, and there are tens of thousands of forest guards guarding the road.
Yu Linwei is the pro-army of the Imperial City, leading the safety and security of the Imperial City. And Chang'an Mansion has a total of six military camps. In addition to Yulinwei, there are also "Jianbu Battalion", "Shenji Battalion", "Xiaoguo Battalion" and "Jinjiawei", which have been deployed by Chang'an Mansion Yin.
Among the battalions, Yulinwei is the most elite, and Yulinwei has two commanders, the chief and deputy, and all actions are directly dispatched from the inner garden of the palace, not restricted by any general.
The Son of Heaven guards it, you can see it!
Emperor Yongning's dragon drove out of the imperial city "Taiwu Gate" slowly at three o'clock, and the array was mighty and stretched for more than ten miles.
Walking in the forefront are thousands of cavalry guards, silver armor and silver helmets, heroic posture, war horses fat, and well-dressed horses. The spear stands upright, with a bright head and red tassels, which is unusually conspicuous.
The cavalry was followed by a guard of honor, dressed in red, with gongs and flags covering the sky.
Then there were 500 cavalry, and behind the cavalry was a group of more than 1,000 crossbowmen.
After these three teams. It is a group of maids in the palace, holding flower baskets in their hands, slowly sprinkled with flower petals all the way.
Bright red petals spread all over the ground, and the saint's dragon slowly walked. The chariot is driven by eight horses, dressed in gold and wrapped in jewels. The car of the dragon is two zhang high, built like a small building that moves, the building is divided into two floors, the lower floor is hollowed, the carving of the dragon is eight, the upper floor is the saint's couch, there is the golden silk nanmu to support the luxurious satin, block the wind and dust outside. From the outside, you can't see the sky. The body is inlaid with gold, silver, jade, precious stones and pearls, and carved with dragon and phoenix patterns, showing the royal dignity and luxury.
After the dragon, there are more than 5,000 types of troops, and behind them are princes and generals, civil and military officials.
Of course, those who can go hunting with them are at least second-grade or above, and they are officials of the main department. Most people only have what they want to send.
Shen Mu was bored following behind Murong Huan, and he didn't know any of the people around him, but fortunately, when the saint traveled, all the ministers didn't dare to make noise, and Shen Mu, a special person, would not look particularly embarrassed.
All the way to the north, mighty, imposing, and moving forward.
The paddock is about sixty or seventy miles away from the capital, but it took two days to walk. By the time we arrived at the paddock, it was the night of the second day.
Along the way, Shen Mu was suffocated.
There are many rules in the army, there are rules for eating, drinking, and Lazar, not when the saint is resting, and he can't say a word, and if there is feces and urine attacking, he has to endure it.
It feels like running a long distance at high speed......
The guards of the enclosure had already prepared everything, and the dragon of the saint drove straight into the palace, and the princes and nobles who accompanied him were also arranged to rest in the palace.
Murong Huan used his privilege to ask Shen Mu for a room next to his residence, so that he could take care of it. After all, Shen Mu came by himself "flickering", and he couldn't snub him like this.
Because the saint needed to "pray for heaven" that night, no banquet was arranged. It was up to the princes to make their own arrangements.
Murong Huan took Shen Mu to the banquet of the King of the East China Sea.
Yunzhao four kings with different surnames, southeast and northwest, Pan Guangyao, king of the East China Sea, Murong Huan, king of Zhennan, Geng Zhong, king of Pingxi, and Tao Yanji, king of Dingbei. The ancestors of these four people followed the founding Tiansheng to fight in the south and the north, and were awarded for their merits.
Among the four, Murong Huan has the best relationship with Pan Guangyao, the king of the East China Sea, and the two are the closest to each other and often have contacts. When Nansang attacked, Pan Guangyao heard about the past and immediately dispatched 20,000 soldiers and horses to help, but unfortunately the people had not yet reached Dingzhou, and Nansang had been defeated.
Then this opportunity, Murong Huan should thank his old friend!
