Chapter 148: The First Military Parade of the Tang Dynasty (End)
After the follower Changyingjun finished turning at the Vermilion Bird Gate, Guo Rong was surprised to find a person who should not be here-Emperor Li Yu!
According to the original plan, the Emperor Taishang should meet and receive the nobles in the Qinzheng Building,
At this time, Li Yu, who was wearing a golden crown and a golden dragon robe, stood quietly on the side of the road on horseback, looking at every long-tasseled soldier who walked in front of him with a smile on his face, and nodded from time to time.
Seeing Guo Rong's surprised gaze, Li Yu waved his hand lightly, and Guo Rong stepped forward immediately.
"Your Majesty, why are you here, shouldn't you be in Xingqing Palace, you don't even bring a guard, Datang ......"
Seeing that Guo Rong's words were about to turn, Li Yu smiled and waved his hand.
"I've been too stuffy in the Qinzheng Building, it's enough to have the Son of Heaven there, I come out to breathe, and by the way, I feel how heroic the soldiers are in advance."
"As for the guards, aren't you, aren't the more than 10,000 Changying troops in front of me all my guards, I'm safe, and Zhang Jiaxuan has been following me, don't worry, hehe~"
Looking at the dead skin's face, it was Li Yu who was motionless, and Guo Rong was also speechless for a while.
Looking at the team that continued to march after the turn, although it was not in the plan for the Emperor Taishang to enter the field in advance, the appearance of his old man was obvious to the morale of the entire Changying Army.
Guo Rong, who couldn't cry or laugh, suddenly remembered that the emperor was really a scoundrel, as if someone could manage it......
Since Li Yu didn't want to go, Guo Rong could only stop to guard, when the foot soldiers and cavalry all turned, looking at the energetic army, Li Yu with a thick smile moved forward again, fortunately, the plan was complete, and the officers at all levels were the real core of execution, and the entire queue was not affected.
Less than 100 meters ahead, Guo Rong saw Zhang Jiaxuan, the descendant of Longhu Mountain, who he hadn't seen for more than a month.
Zhang Jiaxuan had already recovered from his serious injury, his face had lost a little weight, and his face had a little more vicissitudes, and he was staring at Li Yu with almost the same helpless gaze as himself.
Under the urging of Guo Rong and Zhang Jiaxuan, several people rode forward slowly, and soon caught up with the Changying army that had stopped.
At this time, the Changying Army was regrouping about a mile away from the Qinzheng Building according to the plan.
Under the command of officers of all ranks, such as commanders, team commanders, brigade commanders, and captains, a large phalanx of 20 ×20 people is gradually taking shape.
As Li Yu under the escort of Guo Rong and Zhang Jiaxuan moved forward, halfway through, the formation process of the phalanx of the Changying Army was clearly presented in front of Li Yu.
At this time, the sergeant Changying, who had already completed the formation, inadvertently discovered the Emperor Taishang who was riding his horse forward, and then, a scene that was completely unexpected by Li Yu appeared.
"Wan Sheng!"
"Mighty!"
"Long live my emperor!"
"Long live Datang!"
……
From the middle of the entire queue, the sound of the mountain and tsunami sounded, and Li Xu, who was already very emotional, was even more excited at this time, his face was unusually ruddy, his eyes were a little red, and his body was trembling slightly.
"Guo Rong, send someone to Qinzheng Building, and summon Chun'er and all the nobles and Zaifu who are present, such an exciting scene, how can it be enjoyed by me alone, I want to let them see my Datang military appearance with my own eyes!"
Looking at Li Yu, who was extremely excited, Guo Rong didn't say anything, although he knew that it was an oolong.
These slogans should have been shouted by Li Yu when he rode a horse to inspect in the plan, but no one expected that the Emperor Taishang would run down by himself, and when he saw Li Yu himself, he directly shouted Long live and no wonder ordinary soldiers and officers.
But fortunately, Guo Rong didn't see any bad signs from Zhang Jiaxuan about Li Chen, Changyingjun wouldn't get tired if he shouted a few more times, and a few more spectators would not affect the state of Changying's soldiers, so it would be good to let them feel this morale in advance.
Guo Rong sent Degang beside him out to pass the order, and he escorted Li Yu to continue to move forward, reasoning that the starting point of the formal review has not yet arrived, even if those intimidated targets arrive, they have to start from the review point.
Escorting Li Yu to the front of the queue, he stopped at the simple starting point for about a quarter of an hour, led by Emperor Li Chun, and a large group of nobles and high-ranking civil officials also hurried over.
At this point, what was supposed to be a feast for Li Yu turned into a face-to-face display of muscles.
Accompanied by Emperor Li Chun, a large number of nobles, and the Zaifu of the current dynasty, Emperor Li Yu began to inspect the entire array of 12,000 Changying Army.
"Long live Datang!"
"Long live Your Majesty!"
"Long live the Emperor!"
……
Compared with the sound of the sound from the middle section just now, the mountain roar and tsunami that continued to come into the ears with Li Chen's actions at this time obviously brought a greater shock to people.
Li Yu waved excitedly.
And Guo Rong could clearly see the extremely bitter smiles on the faces of a large number of escorts, as well as the strong sense of remorse.
Of course, there are not no people who smile brightly, such as Guo Shi, who volunteered to take on all the meat supplies of the entire Changying Army, and General Zuo Wei is full of spring at the moment.
Satisfying all the meat consumption of the entire 30,000 Changying Army is not enough for the Guo clan in the entire Guanzhong for a year, however, whether it is Li Yu, Li Chun, or even Han Yu, they all feel that the Guo clan has made a lot of money in this transaction!
Han Yu even told Guo Rong that this deal was even more significant than Guo Nuan's marriage of his eldest daughter to the current emperor Li Chun.
From east to west and then from west to east, after completing the entire review process, the ministers returned to Xingqing Palace and re-boarded the Qinzheng Building as a review stand.
As planned, Guo Rong was left by Li Chen's side, and with Li Yu's order, one after another 200×200 phalanxes formed by the regular soldiers of the Changying Army slowly advanced from west to east.
A thousand cavalry spread out in battle formation, guarding the sides of the phalanx.
There were no positive steps, no slogans, no shouts, just the even drumbeat accompanied by the phalanx, and the high-pitched and loud military song of the Changying Army.
The high-level Tang people above Xingqing Palace and hundreds of thousands of Tang people above the South Square of Xingqing Palace were quietly watching the team in front of them that they had never seen before.
The neat queue, the high-pitched military song, the calm team, when the queue of 12,000 soldiers of the Changying Army completely walked in front of the Xingqing Palace, the Emperor Li Yu laughed loudly, with madness in his voice, pride in his voice, and a kind of relief in his voice.
When the laughter ended, Li Yu dragged Guo Rong behind him to his side.
"Now let me introduce you to you, this is today's protagonist, Guo Rong, the lieutenant general of the Changying Army!"
"More than a month ago, he was here to defend Xingqing Palace, and a month later, he formed this Changying army for me, I don't know if Guo Rong trained this army of soldiers and horses, are you still satisfied?"
With Li Chen's inquiry about young talents, the future is immeasurable, and the mainstay and other beautiful words are surging towards Guo Rong, as if Guo Rong has become the pillar of the Tang Dynasty.
In the hearty laughter of Emperor Li Chen, the military parade ended, followed by Guo Rong's unique crown salute.
Although the time and venue are special, under the control of the Datang Rite Department, the whole process is meticulous.
Emperor Li Yu became Guo Rong's parent without any doubts.
The living fossil in the Tang Dynasty, the veteran of the Six Dynasties, Jia Tan became the host of Guo Rong's crown ceremony, and the praisers, rejections, and deacons were all served by Zaifu or court officials above the third grade.
The Zhengbin who personally crowned Guo Rong is Li Chun, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
And the audience is the top nobles of the Tang Dynasty and the senior civil and military of more than three grades.
With such a big pomp and such a strong lineup, everyone present knew how much the Emperor trusted Guo Rong, and they knew that when all this was over today, Guo Rong would become the brightest star in Datang.
At the end of the crown ceremony, Li Yu thanked the master and Guo Rong's parents, and the nobles handed over their own gift lists very honestly.
And Li Yu didn't have any cover-up, seeing the content marked on the gift list, Li Yu's smile was extremely bright.
The huge amount even far exceeded Li Chen's own ideal expectations, and after a simple estimate, Li Yu came up with an approximate amount, which was roughly equivalent to twice the treasury income of the previous year!
If it had been five days ago, receiving these things, Li Yu would have been so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.
But now, these things just made Li Yu understand how much wealth he had accumulated on the nobles who were parasitic on the Tang Dynasty!
Li Yu doesn't know how to fight, but Li Yu, who is familiar with history books and military books, knows one thing that without a strong army in his hands, everything is in the air.
And if there is an extremely strong army as the core, a flock of sheep can also chase the wolf to the road.
He believed that the Changying Army in Guo Rong's hands was the force he expected, and with such a strong force that absolutely belonged to him as the core, these guys in front of him were tantamount to chickens and dogs.
"Guo Rong of the Dynasty thanks you for your love, you must know that two days later, it will be the wedding day of Guo Rong and Dunhuang."
"If you have the heart, you can go to the wedding to add some joy, if you can have a congratulatory ceremony, I believe that this young couple will definitely remember it."
The emperor's words, the faces of most of the nobles present turned green.
Through Guo Rong's coronation gift, they have honestly offered a life-saving money, who would have thought that the emperor would not be satisfied, and would use Guo Rong's wedding to knock on the bamboo pole again.
Although not everyone is satisfied, and not everyone is willing, everyone understands that the wedding can not be done, but the ceremony must be in place!
However, the more unscrupulous Li Yu is, the more no one dares to move!
In another position, if you sit in Li Chen's position, with 100,000 divine troops in your hands, and even a terrifying strong army like the Changying Army outside, they will definitely squeeze these unreliable nobles to the limit!
