The first thing Mi Yang had to do was a military parade.

A military parade is a ceremony in which the state conducts a review of the armed forces.

The military parade ceremony has a long history for the Chinese nation.

There is a cloud in "Zuo Biography": "The major affairs of the country are in worship and Rong". “

It is said that as early as the Xia Dynasty in China, there were already rituals similar to military parades.

It's just that at that time it had a more specific name:

"Watch the army to intimidate the princes".

The most famous military parade in China's pre-Qin period was the "Mengjin Oath" of King Wu of Zhou. ”

In addition to the "Mengjin Oath", there are many military parade ceremonies, such as "The Alliance of Practicing the Earth", "Huangchi Yaowu" and so on.

Although the organizers of those several military parades were not the same in scale.

But there is no doubt that those military parades brought great prestige to the organizers and laid the foundation for their great cause.

However, although the ceremony of military parade appeared very early, the prevalence of military parade ceremony was in the Han Dynasty.

At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, because the Xiongnu in the north often rebelled, the rulers of successive dynasties attached great importance to the military.

Under such circumstances, military parades that can promote the might of the army and boost morale are often held.

After the fall of the Western Han Dynasty, although Liu Xiu, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, did not want the local armed forces to be too strong, he did not rashly abolish this ritual.

At this time, due to the chaotic times of constant military affairs, the military parade was highly valued by the rulers of the three countries.

Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan, the three overlords of the world, all personally commanded the military parade.

There are three reasons why the parade is held: oath-taking, hegemony, and demonstration.

In the specific situation of Liangzhou, Mi Yang's sudden desire to hold a military parade must have had the last purpose in mind - demonstration.

Liangzhou is the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty, and Mi Yang wants to demonstrate must have been for the Cao Wei generals in Guanzhong.

It was precisely because he guessed Mi Yang's intention that when Mi Yang revealed this idea at a parliament half a month ago, his idea was strongly supported by a group of state ministers.

No matter what they think of Mi Yang behind their backs, but now they are all ministers of Liangzhou.

For them, they can show the might of their country through a grand military parade and deter the strong enemy in the north.

There is no reason why they would refuse such an exciting thing.

With the strong support of all the ministers, the preparatory activities for the military parade went smoothly.

The 15th day of August in the second year of Zhang Wu was the day when the military parade in Liangzhou was held.

This day is not only the day of the military parade, but also the Mid-Autumn Festival, one of the four traditional festivals of the Chinese nation.

The origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival is widely known, but it is certain that the Mid-Autumn Festival has become one of the important traditional festivals of the Han people in the Han Dynasty.

It's just that in the Han Dynasty, the date of the Mid-Autumn Festival had not been uniformly determined, and each place had its own Mid-Autumn Festival at different times.

Of course, Mi Yang, who came from later generations, made a special order to determine the specific period of the Mid-Autumn Festival in Liangzhou shortly after becoming the pastor of Liangzhou.

Regardless of whether it is August 16 or August 14 in other places, August 15 in Liangzhou will be the Mid-Autumn Festival.

And because the time of the Mid-Autumn Festival is closely related to the agricultural harvest season, when the Mid-Autumn Festival comes, people's mood will also become very good.

Early this morning, Mi Yang got up and freshened up under Guan Yan's service.

Since today is a very important day for Mi Yang, under the service of Guan Yan, Mi Yang changed into a dress and hat that can only be worn during grand ceremonies.

In ancient times, it was very cumbersome to wear dresses and hats, but today Mi Yang is rarely patient and let Guan Yan fiddle with it.

Mi Yang didn't know how long Guan Yan had been fiddling, only that his legs were about to go numb.

Finally, when the sky was just completely bright, Guan Yan finally dressed everything for Mi Yang.

After putting on the gorgeous dress and hat, Mi Yang looked at himself in the bronze mirror.

I have to say that although the dresses and crowns of the world are very troublesome to wear, they can get things that are loved by nobles, and naturally have their reasons for existence.

Mi Yang was already tall, and when he put on a gorgeous dress and hat, he looked even more noble and awe-inspiring, not angry and arrogant.

After putting on the dress and hat, Guan Yan finally hung an exquisitely decorated long sword from Mi Yang's waist.

After completing this action, Guan Yan looked up at Mi Yang in front of her, and said with a slightly worried tone in her tone:

"Can today's things be done?"

After hearing Guan Yan's worries, Mi Yang, the protagonist who wants to do big things, doesn't seem worried at all.

He stretched out his hand and pinched Guan Yan's nose, and said with a smile: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, you shouldn't be troubled." ”

Seeing that Mi Yang didn't answer her question directly, Guan Yan was a little unhappy.

She's caring about him, and he's sloppy with her.

It's just that even if she was a little unhappy in her heart, Guan Yan still wished: "I hope that my husband will return victorious." ”

If others heard Guan Yan's words, they would still think that Mi Yang was going to fight today.

But in the world, how can there be a general who fights in a grand dress?

Unless Mi Yang wants to fight a war without gunpowder.

After Mi Yang heard Guan Yan's wishes, the smile on her face was even worse.

"When I return victorious."

Mi Yang's words are full of confidence.

After saying this, Mi Yang came to the hall outside with the long sword at his waist in one hand.

When Mi Yang arrived in the main hall, he found that the officials of Liangzhou, whether their official registration was in the state capital or not, had already gathered in the main hall at this moment.

Look at the past at least a hundred people.

Mi Yang knew that there were still many officials who were not qualified to enter this hall to congratulate him, so he could only wait outside the hall bitterly.

There are undoubtedly many officials gathered inside and outside the hall today, because today is not only the Mid-Autumn Festival, but also the day when Miyang holds a grand military parade.

Such a day of double happiness and special significance, not to mention in Liangzhou, is rare in the entire Han Dynasty.

It's no wonder that a group of officials value it so much.

Even the Wu brothers, who had been closed before, came to the main hall today.

Of course, there are so many Liangzhou officials gathered inside and outside the hall today, and because Mi Yang had ordered to invite a senior official from Liangzhou to come to Nanzheng to enjoy the grand event in the previous half month.

Although Liangzhou is not big, although the sparrows are small, there are still hundreds of officials in the case of summoning the state's officials.

When Mi Yang, who was dressed in a luxurious temperament, appeared in the main hall, hundreds of officials in the main hall looked at him one after another.

When Mi Yang walked to his main seat step by step, the civil and military officials in the main hall, under the leadership of Fa Miao and Wu Yi respectively, bowed to Mi Yang and said:

"Mid-Autumn Festival, the ministers are for the shepherd!"

Hundreds of uniform congratulatory voices instantly resounded throughout the hall, filling the empty hall to the brim.

Coupled with the special structure in the main hall, the sound of celebration continued to echo in the main hall.

Not only that, when the sound of congratulations came out of the main hall, hundreds of officials outside the main hall also began to congratulate Liang Zhoumu outside the hall under the auspices of the ceremonial official.

When the hundreds of celebrations in the main hall collided with the hundreds of celebrations outside the main hall, it seemed to play a symphony that would intoxicate any man.

Because this symphony represents that Mi Yang has supreme power in Liangzhou.

It's just that when Mi Yang heard the symphony, his face looked very pale.

Although this represented his supremacy in Liangzhou, he preferred to hear the congratulations of tens of thousands of troops in comparison.

Because those tens of thousands of congratulatory voices are definitely more inspiring and sincere than the hundreds he has heard so far.

After the congratulatory voices finally stopped, Mi Yang looked at the hundreds of officials standing in front of him, and said word by word:

"Zhu Qing should go with me outside the city to read the grand situation of our army!"

After saying this, Mi Yang Ben walked towards the outside of the main hall first.

When Mi Yang walked towards the outside of the main hall, the wall of hundreds of people standing a few steps in front of him immediately separated automatically, revealing a passage for Mi Yang to pass.

And when Mi Yang passed through that passage, the civil and military officials of Liangzhou behind him, under the leadership of Fa Miao and Wu Yi, turned into two streams respectively, and walked towards the outside of the main hall behind Mi Yang, the source.

When Mi Yang stepped out of the state pastoral mansion and got into the car, the two streams of people, which were originally like small streams, gradually grew stronger after each gathered hundreds of officials.

The sound of the emperor's horse sounded, and Mi Yang's honor guard immediately set off towards the outside of the city.

At the front of the team, more than 100 elite riders opened the way in front.

On both sides of the line, there were many armor guards from the side.

At the end of the procession, hundreds of officials followed.

When the mighty guard of honor of thousands of people drove on the wide street, it immediately aroused the exclamation of the people in the houses on both sides of the street.

Is this the travel of a shepherd?

Even when Zhang Shijun was in power, the pomp and circumstance of his travel was nothing more than that.

It's a long time to see.

And when the exclamations of the people on both sides of the street reached the ears of the hundreds of officials, the faces of most of them were filled with the joy of the grand event.

Only Mi Yang's confidants and ministers have some different emotions flowing in their hearts.

Especially Deng Ai among them.

As one of the three nobles of Liangzhou, Deng Ai is in a very high position among hundreds of officials.

So many people didn't notice that now there was a hint of nervousness on Deng Ai's face.

He reached into his arms and clutched a piece of paperwork tightly.

When he thought that he would publish the contents of the document in front of tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of officials, he would inevitably feel nervous in his heart.

Just thinking of Mi Yang's importance to him, Deng Ai's heart appeared firm.

Mi Yang not only values him very much, but also relies on his heart.

When he recommended Shi Bao to Mi Yang before, Mi Yang also thanked him with a smile and surprise for recommending a great talent for him.

In fact, Deng Ai knew in his heart that Shi Bao had not yet revealed any obvious deeds in the world, so how could he be called Mi Yang's great talent?

The reason why Mi Yang commented on Shi Bao like this is nothing more than because of his faith and love.

For such a lord, what else does he Deng Ai have to hesitate about?

Death for a confidant.

After figuring this out, Deng Ai looked ahead with a determined face.

And what Deng Ai didn't know was that just as he was thinking about things, Wu Yi, who was not far in front of him, was also fighting in his heart.

Last night, Mi Yang had specially summoned him to the state governor's mansion.

When he met Mi Yang, Wu Yi thought that Mi Yang wanted to test his intention to stay closed during this time.

But what he didn't expect was that Mi Yang didn't pay attention to this after meeting him.

Mi Yang just asked him: "The sage has a saying, you can't have both fish and bear's paws." And more precious than fish and bear's paws is the righteousness of scholars.

Has Wu Jun ever forgotten what is the righteousness of a scholar? ”

When Mi Yang suddenly asked him this question last night, Wu Yi was stunned for a moment and couldn't answer.

Seeing that Wu Yi couldn't answer, Mi Yang didn't blame him, he just asked Wu Yi to go back and think about this problem.

】

But since Wu Yi came back last night, he hasn't understood the deep meaning of Mi Yang's question.

However, Wu Yi still keenly sensed from Mi Yang's inquiry that today's military parade ceremony was definitely not simple.

But what could it be?

Mi Yang is now in power, he can rest easy in Liangzhou in the future, what is he not satisfied with, what else do you have to do?

This question has been perplexing since last night until Wu Yi is now.

Because of the confusion in his heart, Wu Yi had unconsciously followed the large army to the outside of the city.

The place where the military parade was held was just a mile outside Nanzheng City.

After all, there were hundreds of officials who accompanied Mi Yang to the ceremony today, and so many people couldn't let them walk all the way to the camp several miles away.

When they arrived at the place where the military parade was held, a high platform that could accommodate hundreds of people and was a few feet above the ground appeared in the eyes of everyone.

This high platform was built to inspect the troops after Cao Cao captured Hanzhong.

Later, after Hanzhong fell into the hands of Liu Bei, he did not order anyone to demolish this high platform.

Perhaps in Liu Bei's heart, continuing to keep this high platform is the best sign of his victory over Cao Cao.

Now with the change of time, the owner of this high platform has become Liangzhou Mu Miyang.

Before the arrival of Mi Yang's team of thousands of people, the 30,000 Hanzhong army was already waiting quietly in the vast open space below the high platform under the leadership of generals and colonels at all levels.

The regular soldiers in the entire Liangzhou originally totaled nearly 50,000 people.

However, in the case of Mi Yang's elimination of the old and weak, there were only 30,000 people left in the nearly 50,000 army.

The army of Liangzhou was originally an elite soldier in a hundred battles, and now after a large-scale reduction, the remaining 30,000 soldiers are a rare and strong army in the world.

Of course, the most important thing is that after nearly half a year of continuous efforts, most of the middle- and grass-roots generals of the 30,000-strong army are descendants of Mi Yang.

This is what Mi Yang wants most.

It was after this was done that Mi Yang decided to conduct a military parade.

It is precisely because of this that when Mi Yang's car appeared in front of the 30,000 army, the eyes of the 30,000 Han troops under the leadership of their respective generals looked towards Mi Yang's car.

Under the brilliant scorching sun, the 30,000 firm eyes were full of worship and fanaticism.
