Above the Temple of Heaven.

The Temple of Heaven is located behind the Imperial Palace, in an extremely open place.

Taizu Zhao Sheng followed the armies to fight in the south and the north, and his generals were numerous, in order to commend the meritorious heroes, Corporal Lixian, brainstorming, and specially established this Temple of Heaven.

The Temple of Heaven is symmetrically distributed, with five-colored soil on it, referring to the Jiangshan Sheji.

The Temple of Heaven has nine steps, and every time a general is awarded, the king must fast for half a day, ask the heavens and the earth, and then go to the altar to worship the general.

Datang has gone through ups and downs, in exchange for a prosperous era of peace, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Since then, the Tang Emperor has rectified the rule of officials and won the country Taiming'an, so the more civil officials, the fewer military attachés, and there are very few generals above the third grade, and the figure of the Temple of Heaven is slowly fading.

More than 100 years ago, the Yang State unified the interior, annexed the land of the Tang Dynasty, led 7 million troops, and invaded the territory of the Tang Empire.

Duan Ping, who was once the end of the four princes of the capital, sacrificed himself to rescue Zhao Heng in the million army, and was awarded a general here, and the two armies faced off, using the terrain to destroy the three million elites of the Yang State, and captured the monarch of the Yang State.

"It's noon!" shouted the astronomical officer.

"Open the altar!" a dozen carefully selected Imperial Guards lined up on either side.

The courtiers of the fifth and sixth grades stood under the Temple of Heaven one after another, and they were all solemn, and Prime Minister Xu Song was at the head of the courtiers, and he also bowed his head slightly.

Ximen Tian was dressed in white, holding a green cylinder sword in his hand, and stood on the ring he was building.

"The emperor is above, Tang Emperor Zhao Heng said: The land of the Southern Barbarians, not subject to the king, rose up when the Northern Turks rebelled. The southern barbarians, taking advantage of the treacherous and remote places, have repeatedly invaded our south, which is really a great trouble. Captain Ximen Tian, not to live up to the heavy responsibility, by the order of the governor Song Bai, bravely killed the enemy, organized soldiers, greatly injured the Turks, now the Turks are trapped in the valley of the two abysses, advance and retreat, can be described as outstanding military achievements. Zhao Heng was dressed in a dragon robe and knelt in front of the steps of the Temple of Heaven.

"I see. Ximen Tian muttered.

"Brother Song Bai has planned so far, but it's a pity that this generation of heroes. Duan Ping sighed secretly.

"Today, Ximen Tian is awarded as the general of the hussars, the official from the four products, the town of Nanban, and the protection of my Tang River and Mountain. ”

Xu Song looked sideways slightly, facing Ximentian's eyes full of evil spirits.

"Someone, give me a sword!"

"Someone, give the hussar general's seal!"

"Come on, give the Flame Battle Armor!"

In about three or four hours, the matter of ascending the altar to worship the generals spread all over the capital.

Quiet Pavilion.

"God, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you've become burly again. Duan Ping said with a smile.

"Where, where, but Uncle Duan is indeed a lot haggard. "Ximen Tian is wearing a red battle armor, majestic.

"The world is safe, how can I not help but feel at ease. ”

"Uncle Duan, there is something unknown in Tian'er. Ximen Tian picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

"But this conquest of the Southern Barbarians?" Duan Ping folded his fan, and an ink painting jumped out.

"Your Majesty has many courtiers and confidants, why did you let me go to conquer this Nanban? Ximen Tianjian raised his eyebrows, and his eyebrows were full of doubt.

"Do you know about Xu Song?" Duan Ping sighed.

"Of course I do. Ximen stood up with a thud, and murderous anger appeared in his eyes.

"I know you care about Xuan'er, but it's still a national matter. Duan Ping said earnestly.

"Uncle Duan, please advise. ”

Ju Tea House.

"Father, this Ximen is clearly a life-saving pawn of the emperor, why don't you get rid of him!" Xu Mo was also worried about what happened that night.

"Mo'er, you don't have enough patience. The emperor still has the strength to fight, and tearing his face with him is tantamount to putting us in an unkind and unrighteous place. Xu Song blew and took a sip of tea.

"When, exactly, is that going to be?"

"Xu Gongzi, if the Southern Barbarian Battle is lost, the emperor will lose face, it is a good time to replace him. The strategist smiled slightly.

"What if we win?" Xu Mo asked rhetorically.

"When Simon Tian returned victoriously, he took advantage of his pride to slander his high merit and overshadow the master, and had the intention of replacing him, and killed him by the hand of the emperor. At that time, the relationship between the Huidao Alliance and the royal family will be even more deadlocked, and the time will come. ”

"Good strategy. Xu Mo praised it, and his father nodded frequently.

Waning Moon Headquarters.

Countless phantom mechanisms loomed, and in the darkness, there were many unseen things slowly operating, this was a new headquarters established by the waning moon.

"Song Bai's hand is really calculating. A hoarse voice came.

"Now, what do we do. The Commander of the Brocade Guards sat upright on the right, tapping on the armrest.

"Go with the flow. ”

"I said, you two are so powerful that you can take the throne by just passing over. The voice came from the right, with a hint of charm.

"To put it lightly, have you ever thought that I made this move and recruited a bunch of people from the Immortal Sect and Demon Sect, we are unrivaled in this world, but if we really recruit a sword saint, a finger can kill us. The hoarse voice continued.

"Well, let's wait and see. The Commander of the Jinyi Guard bowed slightly, watching the two disappear.

"So, do I just need to subdue the Nanban?" In the quiet little pavilion, the bamboo forest is still as green as summer, and under the beautiful scenery of this good day, Ximen Tian preemptively drank the last pot of wine.

"You kid, I hurt you in vain, don't leave me a mouthful. Duan Ping smiled, then stood up again, looking into the distance.

"Old, old. I can't see the situation clearly. Duan Ping smiled bitterly, and a little white beard appeared on the young face.

"What's next?"

"In the future, it's up to you, and it's better to walk on your own. Duan Ping sighed, staring at the bamboo leaves that fell to the ground in a daze.

Taihe Temple.

The main hall of the palace is still magnificent, all kinds of objects are displayed on the shelves in rows, so that this Taihe Hall has added a lot of brilliance, the perennial hanging above the main hall "Zhengda Guangming" plaque shines under the background of the candlelight, the golden dragon table has already been arranged into a neat stack, a man dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe sits on the dragon chair to look at the folds, the wall behind him is carved with a lifelike dragon, the dragon head is facing the dragon chair.

After a long time, the man rubbed his forehead and let out a long sigh.

"Your Majesty, you can rest for a while, you haven't closed your eyes for three days. The prince held the floating dust with one arm and stepped forward.

"I don't know if my decision is right or wrong. Zhao Heng stroked the jade seal on the table, and there was some hesitation in his heart.

In the middle of the capital, Ximen Tianzheng was walking on the street wearing the battle armor given by the emperor.

"Look, Hussar General. Passers-by pointed.

"Young and promising!"

"I said, Ximen Tian is a good son-in-law of the Ouyang family, you still don't believe it, look at it, everyone is from the fourth grade. Counselor Feng Yi said to his colleagues.

"When did you say that? The colleague was immediately dissatisfied.

Seeing this, Ximen Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly, but his heart suddenly moved, and the place where he looked was the direction of Ouyang Mansion.

Maybe my old father-in-law can help me analyze it?
