In the year of Renyin, on October 19, the new monarch of the Great Jin Dynasty, the fourth emperor prepared to parade, and the edict was promulgated in all counties and counties across the country, and the lower shock.

Today, the air is clear, the autumn wind is swaying, it is the time when the emperor officially goes out on patrol, the pennant inside and outside the Qingyang Palace is displayed, the drums and trumpets are sounding in the square in front of the big hall of the four seas, and the emperor is surrounded by everyone in front of the luxurious six-wheeled giant carriage that the emperor rode when he went out on patrol.

This car is called the chariot car, warm in winter and cool in summer, exclusively for the use of the powerful to travel far away, under the emperor's inspection, there are three cars with the same specifications of this car, every few times, the emperor has to change to another chariot car to ensure the absolute safety of the emperor's travel.

Mu Sheng came to this car, remembering the grand occasion when the first emperor went out on patrol, when he was still in Zhixian County as An Lehou, he was very envious in his heart, thinking that he could sit in this car as a coachman, but he didn't expect to become its owner today, it is really impermanent.

Mu Sheng in the inner court Yang Jin's heart support, climbed the royal platform, into the big car, only to see the car food and clothing are readily available, the center of the car is placed a gorgeous bronze furnace, it emits bursts of heat to make the carriage warm like spring.

Behind the bronze furnace, there is a door on the left side of the imperial case of the weekday office, Mu Sheng pushed the door in curiosity, this is the inner hall of the carriage, which is specially used for the master to rest, and the inner hall is also warm as spring, covered with a thick carpet, and the bed is placed in the middle, and the two maids kneel beside the bed and wait for the master to sleep.

Mu Sheng shouted in his heart that he was a good guy, it was really extravagant and corrupt, where is this carriage? This is clearly a luxury version of the RV, no wonder everyone wants to compete for the throne from ancient times to the present, if the emperor doesn't have to deal with those troublesome government affairs, don't worry about the future of the country, and don't have to suspect this, suspect that, to tell the truth, it's still very cool.

Seeing the emperor boarding the car, the drum and trumpet of the Zi Honor Guard sounded, and the emperor's car was escorted by tens of thousands of lieutenants, slowly moving forward and leaving the palace.

In Qingyang City, the people came to visit the emperor on patrol, which is still a big event for the people in Qingyang City, first of all, five thousand white-clothed and black-armored lieutenant soldiers holding black flags led the way, and then the emperor himself rode in the main car, followed by thousands of various carriages, basically all of which were civil and military officials and the deputy car of the powerful in the court, and only five thousand soldiers of the Northern Army were in the back, most of them were infantry soldiers, lions, tigers, leopards, and three horsemen of the Northern Army, but only hundreds of knights came to fill the scene. It is not the same as the prestige of the first emperor under the parade of the year, but Prime Minister Huo Cheng is suspicious, and the number of patrol personnel in the Northern Army is limited.

When the emperor's guard of honor marched through the streets, the people in the city knelt down and bowed, the mountain shouted long live, after the eastern patrol team went out of the city, the 25,000 lieutenant troops who had already guarded outside the city were waiting for them, and the sergeants were under the leadership of Lieutenant Huo Qi, lined up in a phalanx and shouted long live the mountain, and then changed the formation of a long snake formation to protect both sides of the guard guard, the lieutenant army armor was bright, the swords and guns were like a forest, and the soldiers were well-trained, but they were also a rare elite division.

Mu Sheng lifted the curtain of the carriage and glanced at the lieutenant soldiers guarding both sides of the carriage, and said to himself: "This Huo Qi still has more or less two hits, and the army is well trained, but unfortunately his surname is Huo, and he can't be used by me." ”

The eastern patrol team marched to a hundred miles outside the city, and the soldiers and horses of the counties and counties convened by the imperial court were gathering in clusters to wait for the emperor's guard of honor, seeing that the emperor's guard of honor had arrived, more than 50,000 soldiers and horses changed into a long snake formation, followed the rear of the team, for the rear army, and paraded with the guard of honor.

The soldiers and horses of the counties and counties are also carefully selected from all over the country, although they are not as elite as the soldiers and lieutenants of the Northern Army, but they are better than the soldiers and generals, and from a distance, the swords and guns are like forests, and the flags are displayed, like a black cloud, but they are also full of momentum.

In this way, the Eastern Patrol team officially embarked on the journey, and Mu Sheng was also a little regretful when he saw this, but it was a pity that only 5,000 soldiers of the Northern Army came, if they could all come, the platoon would really not be available.

Dozens of days later, the emperor's procession marched to Yujun, along the way Mu Sheng did not eat and sleep, slept and ate, but still had to deal with the reports from various places in a timely manner and discuss state affairs with the ministers, although it was just a formality, the big thing was still decided by Huo Xiangguo.

After Mu Sheng finished reading the chapter, he walked to the frame and lifted the window to look out of the car, the lieutenant army under Huo Qi's control was tightly guarded around the emperor's palace, looking away through the military formation, all the great rivers and mountains of the empire, and he himself could only be trapped in this square inch and could not move.

Mu Sheng turned his head to look at a few important ministers who were serving in the frame, and asked, "Lord Gao, where are we almost there?" ”

Hearing this, Gao Zhong walked to the map and pointed to it, and said, "Your Majesty, we are about to pass through Yu County to Gaoyang County." ”

Mu Sheng stared at the map and said thoughtfully: "That is, there are seven more miles to Liangcheng?" ”

Wei Wei bowed his head and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, we will be in Liangcheng in a few days." ”

Mu Sheng said: "Liangcheng is a good place, it used to be the capital of the Song Kingdom, in the middle of the house, the waterways extend in all directions, the trade is prosperous, and it is very prosperous. ”

Gao Chong knew that it was impossible for the emperor to run around casually, especially on the patrol road, and he must not get out of their control.

Gao Zhong just casually echoed: "The minister used to do the Liangcheng Order in Liangcheng, but Liangcheng is as His Majesty said, it is extremely prosperous, and the annual taxes paid to the imperial court are also among the best in the country, but under this parade, time is pressing, and we can only go through the city as soon as possible to Pingyu County to find the place where the emperor erected a monument to worship." ”

When Mu Sheng heard this, he naturally knew it, and said regretfully: "Well, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely have a good tour of the cluster." ”

Gao Chong saw that the government affairs were almost handled, picked up the bamboo slips on the desk and bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, then these approved ministers will look at the ministers on their behalf." ”

Mu Sheng bowed slightly and said, "Okay, you can step down." ”

Gao Zhong was ordered to go to the prime minister's car, Mu Sheng's eyes were complicated and looked at the back of Gao Chong's departure, this is the case in the process of touring all counties and counties, the emperor will take it to Zuo Prime Minister Huo Zheng after reviewing the chapter, if it does not meet Huo Zheng's ideas, he will change the emperor's Zhu approval again, which is equivalent to the decision-making power is still in Zuo Cheng's hand Zheng

At this time, Huo Xiangguo's car was driving, and the regulations of the carriage and horse he rode were slightly lower than that of the emperor's imperial car, but the luxury and comfort in the car were almost not inferior to the emperor's imperial chariot.

Huo Zheng saw Gao Zhong running all the way to his car and sent the chapter to Xiangguo's case.

Huo Zheng saw that Gao Chong's forehead was sweating, and said, "Alas! Why bother to come and go so much, just deal with government affairs and personally go to the royal car to ask Your Majesty. ”

Gao Zhong stepped forward and said with a smile: "Enxiang, don't you dare to be careless, although there are only less than a hundred Tsing Yi envoys guarding the emperor's side on the patrol road, although their number is small, but these spare skills do not dare to look at it, especially the hundred hunting monks are in the role of a hundred, in case you think about it today, how can you deal with yourself when the time comes, Lord Xiangguo?" Grace, you just listen to my advice, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable. ”

The meaning of Gao Chong's words has been very clear, the emperor can be guarded by good hands, if you have a big heart to be in the same room with the emperor, in case you are detained by the Tsing Yi envoy, then it will be a group of dragons without a leader, this wilderness is not as safe as the city.

Lieutenant Huo Qi heard this, and sneered: "I want to see who dares to detain my eldest brother, really treat the tens of thousands of elites in my hands as nothing?" However, the tall man is also reasonable, and the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, so try to avoid being in the same room with the emperor, and wait for the end of the tour. ”

Huo Zheng listened, so he had no choice but to say: "It's okay, your reasonableness is just that Master Gao is running back and forth." ”

Wei Wei Gao pretended to be relaxed and said: "It is the duty of the next to share the worries of Lord Xiangguo, and it is a matter of one thing." ”

After this episode, the emperor's procession once again embarked on the eastern tour.

At this time, on a barren mountain in Yu County, there was an old shepherd driving the sheep to graze leisurely, only after the mighty guard of honor and tens of thousands of troops went away, the old shepherd secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly took out a bird cage from the center of the wide leather robe, and tied the secret letter that had just been written to the pigeon's feet and released it.

The carrier pigeon was freed, flapping its wings into the sky and flying into the distance......
