Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 311 "Aiqing. Has the family been burglarized?"

On May [-]th, Emperor Jiade will lead all civil and military officials outside Fengtian Gate to review the soldiers of the Northern Expedition and swear to go out.

Of course, the real soldiers of the Northern Expedition were not in the capital, otherwise, when they set off from the capital and rushed to the Nine Sides, the civil strife of the Xiongnu would have ended long ago.

Most of the people who participated in the review were the imperial guards guarding the palace city, and the accompanying soldiers escorting the imperial envoys to the west. Although there were many elements for show, it was still an indispensable event for the court.

In ancient times, all expeditions paid attention to a teacher who was famous. Internally, he called on the people of aristocratic families to join the army for the country, and externally, he proclaimed the four directions and strengthened the kingdoms.It is a bit similar to the war mobilization in the previous life. After today, the imperial palace report will spread all over the country. The imperial court has raised so many troops, so it is not necessary to recruit from the people. , as well as the people in Guizhou, the court is about to fight, and they are ready to be taxed.

There are also those vassal states, along with the report sent by the mansion, there is also the article written by Jia Ying, a huge monster, suddenly showing its fangs, if you don't say hello in advance and make it clear, I'm afraid that those small country vassal kings will be scared to death.

But it is a big event both inside and outside. It was so big that the emperor set off at the third watch of the day, paid homage to the emperor's tomb outside Beijing, and returned to Beijing to pay homage to the Taimiao. On the long street in the capital, it was almost noon when this process was completed.

Jia Ying is naturally also in the accompanying team, and today he is not wearing an official uniform, but a military uniform, from head to toe, armed to the teeth, and a rare visor on the Yanling helmet, leaving only a pair of black holes With his eyes out, he greeted surprised gazes from all around him.

Downstairs of the Fengtianmen gate, a tired-looking Jiade walked up to the steps of the city gate with Dai Quan's support. With a light force on his wrist, Dai Quan knowingly let go of his supporting hands. Jiade was dressed in a suit of dragon gun Dressed in a fine attire, with shoulders slightly opened, head held high, and the tiredness on his face swept away, he stepped forward to the steps, with hundreds of officials behind him, climbing up the steps.

This moment is too important to him, maybe today will be recorded in the annals of history, and the achievements of Taizu who failed to complete the peace will be completely marked by a complete ending sentence in the hands of his descendants.

Everyone has selfish desires in their hearts, even the emperors who sit in the world, but they are different from ordinary people. The emperor's selfish desires are big enough to span the long river of time and compete with those kings who have appeared in this land for hundreds of generations. Hui, competing for an emperor through the ages.

At this moment, the steps of the towering city tower seem extraordinarily long. It seems that the flow of time is slowing down at this moment, just to clearly record the grand scene at this moment. He remembered something, turned around and asked, "Why haven't you seen Jia Ying?"

The two stood on a high place, and the hundreds of officials on the stone steps of the tower noticed that the footsteps in front of the queue stopped, and they all raised their heads and stared forward.

When asked by the emperor, Dai Quan also showed a look of surprise, he had never seen Jia Ying in the crowd of officials today, but the emperor asked him personally, naturally he couldn't answer I don't know, that would be too useless.

Dai Quan turned around and said to the eunuchs behind him: "Go and invite Uncle Jing Ning to come and say that His Majesty is calling."

Jia De acquiesced to Dai Quan's words, and he was not in a hurry to climb up the tower, but stood on the stone steps and waited quietly.

Seeing this situation, Yang Fu, Ye Gu and the others also approached slowly.

"Your Majesty, the auspicious time is approaching, so let's go up to the tower first."

Jia De waved his hand and said, "No rush."

After a while, the eunuch who had just left led the general in full armor to quickly climb up the stairs and approached.

The emperor looked at the person and asked suspiciously, "Jia Ying?"

The four cabinet ministers on the side also cast puzzled eyes, looking very strange.

"Minister, Jia Ying sees Your Majesty."

Hearing a familiar voice behind the visor, Jia De confirmed that this is the person he was looking for, why is he dressed like this today.

The most nervous thing was the eunuch who was sent to invite people. He was also taken aback just now. If the emperor and all the ministers were not waiting, he really would not have dared to bring people directly to the front of the car.

Wearing a visor properly, and not taking it off, even people can't confirm it.

"Nonsense, Jia Ying, you are from the Imperial Academy, why don't you wear an official uniform for such a grand ceremony today? How is this proper?" Fu Donglai reprimanded.

Today, all the ministers in red and purple robes were able to climb the tower. Which one was born in the middle of the imperial examinations, and those generals in armor could only wait for review at the bottom of the tower.

Gentlemen are noble and martial arts are light, at this moment, it is up to each other.

And you, Jia Ying, Tanhua, who was handpicked by the emperor's imperial pen, was born in an orthodox Imperial Academy, but at this moment you are wearing a military uniform. Does this mean you don't want to be in the court?
Although the battle between civil and martial arts has not yet reached the point where one side must submit and the two sides can coexist peacefully, it has always existed, especially in grand occasions like the present, where the distinction between civil and military is clear.

Scholars consider themselves noble, and look down on martial arts from the bottom of their hearts. This can be seen from Fu Donglai's attitude. Even the famous Donglai Gong is like this, let alone other officials.

But obviously Fu Donglai didn't intend to question the crime, otherwise Jia Ying could be impeached on the spot for a crime of disrespect.

Jia Ying didn't panic, the key was that he had a reason to do so.

"Old Fu Ge, my current errand is to be the admiral of soldiers and horses. Today, Your Majesty pays homage to the emperor's mausoleum, and I will lead soldiers and horses to escort him."

Hearing the words, Fu Donglai asked with a calm expression: "Then what are you wearing a visor for? The holy driver is not taking it off yet."

There was a look of hesitation in Jia Ying's dark eyes.

What do you call this? Didn’t he just wear armor? Who’s in the way? He stayed in the Bingmasi team, but was forcibly pulled out. You think he’s willing to wear it. It’s a hot day. , there is an extra tens of catties of weight on the body, judging from the situation, I'm afraid it will take a long time to finish.

At this time, Jiade smiled and said: "I think this armor is just right."

"Just now, I was thinking, since it is a grand oath ceremony, how can I not have a brave general by my side, but Lan Qing and the others are all in important positions, so you should not move lightly, and you soldiers and horses did not participate in this review, so I summoned you Come."

It is true that the Bingma Division will not participate in this review, not to mention the Forbidden Army who is the protagonist of today, even the patrol battalion can send a team of elites to participate in this review, the soldiers in the division naturally have a lot of sourness in their hearts.

That's why Jia Ying took care of all the hardest and most tiring chores today. The standard bearers under the city gates today are burly and tall soldiers selected by Jia Ying from among the best archers in each city.Don't fight for steamed buns, this kind of grand ceremony is rare in a hundred years. As a qualified general, it is natural to always consider the morale of the soldiers under his command.

Only Jia De continued to say: "Today you stand by my side, but take off your visor. This is in the capital, not on the battlefield."

The emperor's golden words, Jia Ying could only obey even though he was reluctant in his heart.

"Forget it, as long as you are not embarrassed, others are the ones who are embarrassed."

The next moment, Jia Ying slowly took off the visor, revealing the "handsome" face under the helmet.

Facts have proved that you should never reason with a woman. Fortunately, he is going to marry the gentle and lovely Daiyu. The Yasha star Jia Lian talked about looks a little bit insignificant in front of Mu Jun.

The next moment, Jiade and the four cabinet ministers showed shock at the same time, and saw that Jia Ying's face was blue and purple, and there was a pair of panda eyes. The situation couldn't be described as miserable.

"Aiqing, is this... a thief at home?" Even Jia De, who was always dignified and dignified, almost couldn't hold back at this moment, and laughed out loud on the spot.

Where it is a thief, it is clearly a female assassin.

Jia De, who took a long sigh of relief, suppressed the smile in his heart and said, "It's better to wear it."

Then he turned around and continued walking up the tower, he was afraid that if he stayed a moment longer, he would lose his dignity in front of the servants.

Only Jia Ying, who was awkward in place, could not move forward or retreat. Fortunately, his back was facing the courtiers just now. The four cabinet ministers were usually dignified and would not spread gossip about him in private. After losing everything, Jia Ying still followed after hesitating for a moment.

Woo!Woo!
The sound of the low-pitched horn made the humorous atmosphere just now austere, and everyone's body tensed up, with solemn expressions on their faces.

With the sound of the three-way drum, Dai Quan exhausted his rights and shouted loudly, "Your Majesty is here, and the army will perform martial arts."

On the long-cleared street in the distance, there was a sound of low footsteps, even if it was far away, a sentence could be heard clearly.

On Duanwumen Street, Lantianyu, the marquis of Xining and the governor of the right army, is at the forefront. Behind him are the mansion of the Marquis of Anping, the first-class son and the left commander of the forbidden army, Shan Xianzhi; Tong Niu Jizong, led by the three were three thousand cavalry guards of the emperor's own army, the guard of honor.

Followed by Shenwu General Feng Tang, Zhaowu General Wu Lie commanded two thousand infantry of the Imperial Army.

As the only Beijing camp transferred into the city this time, the Shenji Camp has 3000 troops, and it is led by Liu Fang, the first-class son of Li Guogong's mansion.At the end of the line were the [-] soldiers led by Dutong Zhang Kaidi of the patrol battalion.This time, it is not only a school martial arts, but also a demonstration of Tianjia's great kindness to the soldiers guarding the capital. The imperial army guarding the palace city, the patrol battalion defending the capital city, and the Shenji battalion representing the [-]th Battalion of Beijing Defense, all three parties are present.

Logically speaking, the embroidered guards are also the son of the emperor's army, and today's school martial arts should also have a place, but for some reason, the emperor did not put the embroidered clothes guards in the queue of school martial arts, but formed a team purely composed of nobles. The reviewing army under his command, and the civil and military officials did not have any objections to this.

The reviewing army entered through the Dragon Boat Gate, passed through the Sheji Altar and Taimiao on both sides of the Royal Road, and reached the Fengtian Gate.

There were tens of thousands of horses lined up on Chang'an Street, and it was impossible to see the end at a glance. Even Jia Ying, who was used to seeing crowds of people, couldn't calm down. Being in such an extraordinary era, it has special significance in history.

Of course, it might be better without Dai Quan's male duck voice.

What followed was the horse stance drill performed by the reviewing army. To Jia Ying, the attraction was a bit weak. These imperial troops couldn't even keep the same pace, which was much worse than his Hunan army camp.However, it is worth mentioning that after seeing the Hunan Army Camp in Guyuan last time, Ye Baichuan regarded Jia Ying's "Army Essentials" compiled by Jia Ying for the formation of the Hunan Army Camp as a treasure, and gradually popularized it among the large army, especially Among them, the "new infantry drill code", even the imperial army has begun to copy the drill.

Although it is said that the imperial army marched in unison and practiced far from home, the eyes of Jiade and all the ministers were still brightened in the school martial arts field. From the eyes of discerning people, the steps of these soldiers were still uneven, but they were still in good shape. Walking with an army of tens of thousands is enough to cover up some flaws, at least the shaking of the shoulders and the head is basically consistent, and it is no problem to fool some laymen.

Silently, he still brought changes to the world.

Emperor Jiade on the tower looked at Ye Baichuan beside him and asked, "Is this the result of the training recorded in "The Essentials of Armed Forces"?"

Ye Baichuan replied: "That's right, it's just that this method has not been introduced to the imperial army for a short time, if we practice more, the army will be able to move in unison, marching like thunder and shaking, majestic and majestic, the general ordered, The army is driven like an arm, and the enemy is terrified when they hear it. I have seen the Hunan army camp with my own eyes, and there is still a slight difference in comparison with the imperial army."

Fu Donglai also nodded in agreement: "This method is really extraordinary."

Although he is a layman, he has good eyesight. He has seen the marching of the army before. Now, looking at it, the soldiers are dejected and disorganized. After changing to the new infantry drills, when the soldiers are marching, everyone The aura of the entire army has changed, and it seems that there is an invisible hand between each other that glues the aura of thousands of soldiers in the entire army into one, and it has truly turned thousands into one. There is no small blessing.

When Jiade heard this, he felt even happier, and he wanted to call Jia Ying to come forward to praise him, but when he thought of the bruise on his face, it would really embarrass him as an emperor, so he gave up in his heart, and just said lightly: " good."

After practicing martial arts, it was time to swear to the north.Ye Baichuan took the yellow silk framed scroll from the eunuch behind him, first bowed to Jiade who was standing under the canopy, and walked to the center of the tower with a slight sigh of relief.

"At that time, in May of the eighth year of Daqian Jiade, in the summer, according to the order, read the "Writings for the Master of the King" and announced it inside and outside, so as to nourish knowledge."

"Ying Dunshou: When the Miao descendants of my Han family returned to the Central Plains, it was ten and seven years after Wei Baisi."

This proclamation was originally written by Jia Ying, if there is no accident, he should be the one who read it today, the reason why Jiade asked where Jia Ying was before he climbed the tower was also the original intention.

It's a pity that an accident happened, so it can only be announced on behalf of others, Yang Jing and Ye Baichuan are old, Gu Chunting's qualifications are still young, and finally fell on Ye Baichuan's head.

Jia Ying also understands this in her heart, and she has no regrets, just like when she wrote "The Essentials of Armed Forces", it was only prepared for the formation of the Hunan Army Camp, but now it has become a holy work sought after by military strategists, and was originally included in the Imperial Academy The Zangshu Pavilion, no matter how low-key he is, later generations will inevitably mention Jia Ying's achievements when they read this book.

It is the pursuit of many officials in ancient and modern times to pass on the history of history with literary names, and this is of course considered an achievement.

The same is true for this "Words for the Royal Family". In the future, it will be restored as it is, and it will be passed on to the world. In fact, it does not make much difference whether you read it yourself or not.

".Today, it is spread both inside and outside, and the salty envoys will hear about it."

Let's sing a piece, Jia Yucun, the Minister of the Ministry of War and the imperial envoy of Shanxi and Shanxi, stepped forward and took the imperial edict with both hands, knelt down and said: "Minister, Jia Yucun will not disgrace his life, I wish you a prosperous country, a prosperous country, and eternal solidarity. Long live the emperor."

Following a loud salutation, all the officials on both sides of the city tower paid homage, and the army on the school field below the city tower rang out one after another with nahan voices:
"Dagan Guozuo Zhaochang, the sun, the moon, the mountains and rivers will last forever."

"Dagan Guozuo Zhaochang, the sun, the moon, the mountains and rivers will last forever."

"Long live my emperor!"

"Long live!"

Emperor Jiade also stood up at this time, looked around from the high city, and sang loudly: "I celebrate with all the generals and soldiers, and share the feast with all the people, God bless the saints!"

"God bless you!"

"God bless you!"

　Two more later.
