    Volume 2 Bianliang Mistake Chapter 76 Xianjie (2) On the third day of June in the fifth year of Xuanhe of the Song Dynasty, outside Xunmen in the south of Bianliang City, there were crowds of people jostling each other. At this moment, in Bianliang  Outside the city, there were already tens of thousands of people living in their surroundings. When Yi Zu founded the country, there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city. This number had already exceeded one million for decades.  Especially in the direction of the Bianhe River waterway in the south, there were the most new buildings built on this artery that supplied the capital. Unlike the Tang Dynasty, which followed a strict system of streets and lanes, the Song Dynasty had a mixture of residential markets, palaces, hotels, and pavilions, making it even more lively.  During Shenzong's time, the city wall was built to the south to protect the newly built residential areas within the city defense area of ??Bianliang as much as possible. But now, outside the city wall, there are tens of thousands more households and a population of hundreds of thousands, stretching out for more than a dozen places.  At this moment, the actual population of Bianliang is far more than two million, reaching the point of close to three million people! This number is unprecedented anywhere in the world except China at this time.  The population of an extremely powerful country. Bianliang was so prosperous that it was almost abnormal. The Song Dynasty used almost the entire country to support the transportation of supplies, food, and daily necessities to the north and south.  Teams and convoys are constantly on the road every year. A huge amount of resources are invested in the improvement of roads and rivers every year. In addition to the almost impossible to perform the functions of war, the so-called Forbidden Army in Bianliang only has security and defense.  Rivers protect rivers. In various parts of the Song Dynasty, there were too few local resources, and most of them had to be transferred to the capital. Official positions of high-ranking transfer envoys were also established. Bianliang was so prosperous and prosperous.  Far more than any other place in the Song Dynasty. Officials at all levels would rather hang up in Bianliang and guard the cold office than go to the local military prefecture. Being demoted to Bianliang is already an extremely severe punishment.  Too many resources and talents, too many resources, promoted the world's increasingly extravagant lifestyle. Too many talents and not many things to do, promoted party struggle in the court. At least 30% of the Song Dynasty's fiscal revenue was consumed on the road of transportation, and the same was true for corvee labor.  It was a very heavy and bad government. Moreover, the terrain around Bianliang was too flat and there were no dangerous points to defend. To defend the capital, a large number of troops were needed. During the Song Dynasty, the number of troops was constantly expanding. At that time, Yizu once said.  If the capital is established here, the world will be troubled for the next hundred years. There was a plan to move the capital to Luoyang, but after the candlelight and ax shadow, the plan was abandoned. By now, Bianliang has expanded and developed far beyond this era, and has indeed become a great city.  Even though Bianliang was supported by the world's richest and most prosperous Song Empire, it had unprecedented splendor. At this moment, Bianliang City lay across the city.  In front of the triumphant army of Banshi who had braved the wind and frost for two years and experienced countless bloody battles, Xiao Yan, who had traveled through thousands of years, was waiting for him to step in!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tens of thousands  Among the athletes of the Long March, the Huanqing Army was at the front, and the Shenwu Changsheng Army was at the back.  Standing quietly outside Nanxunmen.  In Bianliang City, the north-south avenue entering from Nanxunmen is the broadest and straightest, facing the official residence.  Passing through the Nanxun Gate, passing the Zhuque Gate in the old city, and crossing the Longjin Bridge, you will enter the Royal Road.  The imperial road is about four miles long, facing Xuande Tower in the middle of the south of the imperial city.  From the official family onwards, hundreds of civil and military officials were sent down to honor Qi's clan. They were on the Xuande Tower, and all the buildings in front of the emperor were put up, waiting for the tens of thousands of Long March athletes to make their triumphant victory!  Such a grand event has never been seen since the founding of the Song Dynasty, except for the destruction of Shu and the destruction of the Southern Tang Dynasty.  And how could the Liao Empire, which had stood side by side with the Song Dynasty and had been in conflict with each other for more than a hundred years, be compared to the weak and self-sustaining Southern Tang Dynasty, which had broken the narrow structure of Shu?  It can even be traced back hundreds of years. After the Tang Empire defeated the Turks, the Han family never had such a grand event again!  From top to bottom, Bianliang was disturbed by this grand event.  Those who are qualified to go to Xuande Tower naturally rush to the forbidden area early to prepare.  The scholar-bureaucrats who were not qualified to go to Xuande Tower gathered their friends and servants and occupied the high ground along the road from Nanxun Gate to Xuande Tower, either in a restaurant or a pavilion, where they set up a table of wine and warmed up the wine.  , talking about the story of the failure of the previous generation of art ancestor Taizong in the Liao Dynasty, Zhenzong Chanyuan's covenant, talking about the past and the present, waiting quietly.  On this day, a good location high up on the street has been sold for a high price of dozens of guan. If the money was exchanged, it would be hundreds of guan!  The idle people of Bianliang did not have so much copper in their waists, so they crowded around and huddled together on the streets.  A family came out, bringing tea, cold soup, calling for their children, and watching with their feet raised in the crowd.  Those idle men with no family or mouth were squeezing in and out of the crowd, staring blankly to see which young lady was prettier.  Most of the other places in Bianliang that were not exposed to the army's offering of Jietong Road had stopped trading, and all of them were waiting for the imperial edict's companions, and they all came in groups.  If you have a little bit of business sense, just pick up the basket and pick it up.??, along this road hawking food and refreshing sweet-scented osmanthus soup, and all kinds of entertainment, also come here.  There are countless palaces and temples in Bianliang City. On this day, eminent monks and Taoist priests will either set up a meal or pray for the dead to save the souls of the dead and pray for the officials and their families.  There was also a group of Hu businessmen, all gathered in the crowd and pointing at this scene.  Hu Shang, who was newly arrived in the Song Dynasty, faced this huge city with such a population and such a scene, and his eyes were filled with colors. He was squeezed here and there with the flow of people, and he couldn't say a word.  Today, the Kaifeng Mansion, the Imperial City Division, and the Sanya Forbidden Army all mobilized their personnel to be on duty.  The imperial guards stood facing the street, keeping the people behind them.  These military men also dressed up as much as possible today, wearing red military jackets and Fan Yangli.  Armed with swords and guns, they stood from Nanxun Gate to the front of Xuande Tower.  The strong government officials of Kaifeng Prefecture maintained order among the crowd. They looked out for any idlers who made too much noise or for low-level people to pick at the crowd. They would lock them up and leave.  Everyone was so busy that they were sweating profusely.  The cavalrymen of the Sanyamen Guards, the pro-army horse army, all rode their mounts. A group of people and horses were all as consistent as possible, wearing helmets and armor, and patrolling back and forth in a majestic manner. If they saw where the sound of stirring was too loud, they would  Yelled loudly several times.  The common people are not afraid of these forbidden troops. They are all natives of their hometown and have been neighbors for generations and acquaintances.  Who doesn¡¯t know the details of these horse soldiers who are wearing armor now?  The armor on their bodies was all made of reduced material, and they couldn't last a whole day even if they were wearing full armor.  On weekdays, we are all brothers in the wine shop and gambling house, but today, after shouting a few times, someone has changed, right?  The laughter and laughter were often louder, and the eminent guards and pro-army officers, such as Ma Junsi, could only pretend not to notice.  Although the wives of the Song Dynasty could not help but show their faces, they were so crowded among the crowd that it was not the same.  Fortunately, Bianliang has a well-developed water system. From Nanxunmen, you can enter this avenue directly, and there are many bridges along the way.  Daughters with a little status all hired boats and parked near the bridge, eating small meals and looking up at the bridge with their feet up.  It is early summer and the weather is warm.  These women's dependents were all wearing fancy trousers, revealing two or more large pieces of white flesh below the collarbone, which were warm, fragrant and soft, making people dizzy.  There are pieces of flowers on the hair and cheeks, and the fragrance is soaked in sweat, as if the river is full of fragrance.  There is also the history of women in Wase. The singers and prostitutes in the restaurant are mixed among them. They greet old acquaintances with smiles and sweet voices, and the young people on the river bank also respond to each other.  There was laughter and laughter.  Just looking at this lively and gorgeous scene, how does it look like welcoming a frontier army that traveled thousands of miles, charged in the snow, suffered heavy casualties, and sacrificed countless lives to defeat Yanyun in the Song Dynasty?  It seems that this prosperous and prosperous Bianliang, where flowers are blooming and brocades are blooming, and fire is cooking oil, is showing off all its romance and liveliness.  Who would have thought that in real history, this extremely prosperous situation and hundreds of thousands of millions of people would turn into nothing.  This Bianliang can only be pursued in dreams?  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~ Outside Nanxun Gate, the Banshi army also got up early, dressed neatly, and rushed to wait in line in front of Nanxun Gate.  Even the Huanqing Army was, after all, an army that had been stationed for two years and experienced many battles.  Wang Zhen also practiced and tidied up along the way. At this moment, waiting in line, he naturally felt a sense of solemnity.  It is very different from those Bianliang Forbidden Army that are full of flowers.  Standing there, they are all wearing a full set of armor. If it is not enough, they will be supplemented from the Bianliang arsenal.  Brush and polish until it's clean and shiny.  The officers and soldiers all wear hairpins in their ears, and the generals' mounts, saddles, and reins are all decorated with colorful satin.  Flags, flags, golden drums, all newly made.  The Privy Council was not stingy in this regard. Those who could be adjusted were immediately transferred to make up for it. Those that could not be adjusted were gathered together by skilled craftsmen in the past two days, and they paid a large price and rushed to make them overnight.  This ringing army was instantly dazzling, with these new armors, new flags, and new weapons.  These big men from Shaanxi lined up in a row.  The people watching outside Nanxun Gate could not help but shake their heads in admiration, point, praise and applaud, and from time to time there were cheers.  Let the officers and soldiers of the Huanqing Army, whether on or off the horse, have their backs straighter and their heads raised higher.  Since the morning, the shouts of the densely watching people around us have been louder than ng, and they are all in admiration.  "Could this be the ever-victorious army that defeated Yanjing? They are really good men, good tools, and good generals!" "This is a frontier army. How can it be like the forbidden army around us? When we are in the west, we have to fight with the Western thieves.  We were together. We were on horseback for more than ten days and couldn't get off! When we got to Yandi, we fought with Liao dogs for a whole year. Yanjing city was so tall that it was hard to get off.  It's a lot worse than Bianliang. How can it be easy to kill someone? How can any of these soldiers not have more than a dozen lives in their hands?The child ran away in a flying direction, splattering blood all over the floor, scaring your mother-in-law to the point of fainting!  " "My elder brother was selected to join the imperial army. He went to Hejian Mansion and came back.  When talking about these border soldiers, they all shake their heads and say that they are just friends.  They walked twenty miles a day, and these frontier army men could walk forty miles.  What else are you talking about?  The Liao dogs rode horses for two hundred miles a day, but these soldiers were able to deal with them!  He also knows some details about the Shenwu Evervictorious Army.  Among the frontier troops, the strongest were the Shengjie Army who had left Privy Council Tong and the Bailu Army of Lao Zhongxianggong. The two units were combined into one, plus the returning Changsheng Army of Guo Y¨¤o Division - they were all men from Liaodong, and they were all two feet tall.  It can move a wolf fang that weighs up to ten kilograms!  Together, this divine and ever-victorious army can be called the best in the world!  If it hadn't been for them, how could they have conquered the city of Yanjing and dealt with these Liao dogs?  " "That's right!  With such a strong army entering Bianliang to defend us, what opponents do we have to fear?  The great monk of Daxiangguo Temple said that we in Bianliang still have three hundred years of good luck!  " "Who is Xiao Yan and Xiao Xuanzan who killed the real little king, defeated Yanjing, killed Xiao Qian, killed Yelu Dashi, and captured the Queen of Liao?  How can we tell the difference between those generals?  " "Xiao Xuanzan is fighting to kill Han people, and he is looking for the tallest and strongest man.  Xiao Xuanzan came back from the far north. He could shoot a ten-stone hard bow and could use a hundred and twenty-jin iron spear with both hands. Otherwise, how could he have achieved Xie's achievements?  " "Don't talk nonsense, Xiao Xuanzan is a civil servant, how can he be dressed as a military official?  But it's strange that among the generals in the Chinese army, no one dressed as a civil servant can be found?  ¡± ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wang Zhen and Ma Kuo are both in the middle of the army. They are also decorated today, and their beards and beards have been carefully trimmed. The praises of the people around them can be heard.  It was clear that the two of them looked at each other with heat on their faces. The Privy Council had arranged the order for today's victory ceremony, and arranged the Huanqing Army to the front, and they also knew the whole purpose.  Let the Shenwu Changsheng Army and Xiao Yan not show up! How can the people of Bianliang tell which army they are? Looking at their dazzling appearance, they think they are the Shenwu Changsheng Army.  Praise. Both of them are rare military ministers who are defensive and promising. They feel ashamed to steal the glory of Xiao Yan and the Shenwu Changsheng Army who have made great achievements. But after the Privy Council arranged it like this, they still have something to offer.  What do you mean? Wang Zhen was originally Tong Guan's confidant, and Ma Kuo was naturally a member of Wang Fu and Tong Guan's party. Now that the Huanqing Army has lost Liu Yanqing as its commander, it has been completely marginalized by the three armies of the Western Army.  They had to maintain this army in the future. If Wu Min came to suppress it in person, the two of them had to do some mental training last night. At this moment, they looked at the people around them.  They kept praising Huan Qingjun, and both of them felt their faces flush. Ma Kuo couldn't bear it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but whispered to Wang Chen: "Wang Taiwei, I can't bear it anymore.  Killing people in shame!  You must obtain fame and glory by yourself, but you cannot rob others!  We soldiers, with blood on the tip of the knife, cannot violate our conscience.  I reported my illness and returned to the camp to rest. Why don't you count me out this time before the emperor's sacrifice?  " Wang Zhen's face was slightly livid, and he glared at Ma Kuang: "I am also sick, what do you think?  The lyrics have to be sung according to the scene, what else can be done?  When you are a minister, you also harmonize yin and yang.  What we are doing is also to slander Xiao Yan!  He is not so eye-catching this time, and maybe he will be less troublesome Just think about it!  As generals, we only obey orders. If there is an enemy in the future, as long as we rush in front of Xiao Yan, our hearts will be straightened out Nao Niang, why hasn't this victory ceremony begun yet?  " When the general spoke like this, Ma Kuo had no choice but to shut up. He gritted his teeth, his face tensed up, and couldn't help but look back. The Shenwu Changsheng Army and the Huanqing Army were camping far away from each other.  Nanxunmen was not far away. Thousands of Huanqing troops came out first and took up positions. The Shenwu Changsheng army did not follow closely, but only the sound of drums and trumpets could be heard faintly in the military camp.  Their attention was naturally focused on the Huan Qing Army, thinking that this was the entire Banshi Army. At this moment, what did Xiao Yan think? It had been some time since he had been dealing with Xiao Yan, and Ma Kuo had also been there.  Knowing that Xiao Yan is a person who is never willing to admit defeat, he has just arrived in Bianliang, and now he is like this? Will he be willing to swallow this sigh of relief? At this time, Ma Kuo secretly prayed that Xiao Yan could endure this?  You know, this is Bianliang, not Yanjing, where the emperor is! In the land of Yanyun, the generals like them can act with very little restraint. As long as they win, there are people who can deal with you.  There are too many, not to mention the Xifu who controls the army and horses of the world.??And the powerful hidden figure standing behind Xifu is trying to suppress you, Xiao Yan!  "You have made such great achievements for the country, and you can't let it go unfinished. Xiao Yan, you must endure this tone!"  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~ On the Xuande Tower in the south of the imperial city, with the sound of drums and drums from Jun Rongzhi, who was traveling in full ceremonial guard, a pair of imperial guards first appeared on the Xuande Tower, going to the left and right.  Extend on both sides and stand in their respective positions.  The Golden Spear Squadron, the East and West Squadrons carried out the decree, Yulong Zhizhi, Yulonggu Duozizhizhi, Yulong Bows and Arrows Zhizhi, Yulong Crossbowmen came out one after another, all around Xuande Tower.  After that, there are the commanders with imperial weapons. The commanders who serve as imperial commanders, who are descendants of honorary relatives, appear on the Xuande Tower. An apricot yellow Zhang Gai appears on the Xuande Tower. Under the Zhang Gai, there is an eight-person carriage carried by the outer hall  , the Song Dynasty style god combines Tao, Jun, Lie, merit, saint, literature, virtue, Xianci, shows filial piety, Emperor Zhao Ji is dressed in a dragon robe, wearing a long-winged gauze hat, sitting on a walking chariot.  Upstairs in Xuande, there had been an official throne for a long time. Zhao Ji slowly got off the chariot and walked to the throne.  Behind him were the two palaces of the East and West, the clan, the three divisions, the internal divisions, the palaces, the ministries, the honorary relatives, and a group of high-ranking officials standing in different positions.  Zhao Ji took his seat sanctimoniously.  Downstairs in Xuande, the four-mile-long Imperial Street has already been cleared.  People are not allowed to approach for several miles on both sides.  A pair of Forbidden Army officers and soldiers standing facing each other on the left and right sides of the imperial street saw the officials taking their seats. They all knelt down with their weapons in hand, bowed their heads and shouted: "Long live the saint, long live, long live!" This shouting sound is unknown to practice.  How many times.  Uniform and uniform, the sound shocked everyone.  Zhao Ji had a smile on his face and raised his hand to signal. The cheers continued and gradually stopped.  Looking at this scene, looking at the hundreds of thousands and millions of his own people squeezing in the distance, the boredom on Zhao Ji's face these days has completely disappeared. He smiled and looked around: "Is it time to start?"  Around Zhao Ji, the closest one is naturally Cai Jing. The grand master leads the affairs of the three provinces, is in charge of the political affairs hall, and is courteous to all officials. If he is not qualified, who else is qualified.  There is another one, Liang Shicheng.  His official position should not allow him to be so close to Zhao Ji in such a ceremony, but Zhao Ji is favored and trusted, so who dares to say anything about him?  Cai Jing was not very active today, he just stood solemnly, and Liang Shicheng said in a low voice: "Long live the imperial army, and the officials are here in person. This is to inform the troops outside Nanxunmen that the victory ceremony has begun, and they should start entering the city now."  He nodded and asked softly: "Is it the Shenwu Victory Army?" Liang Shicheng also replied in a low voice: "In the official family, the Shenwu Victory Army is more than ten thousand, and the Huanqing Army is thousands more. The Privy Council arranged the order of priority, but it is  The Huanqing Army is taking the lead." Zhao Ji frowned slightly, but didn't say much. He just sat on the throne and waited attentively.  Liang Shicheng thought about it, quietly stepped away from Zhao Ji, found Wu Min in the Xifu shift, and whispered: "Is there anything wrong?" Wu Min was the most worried today. Seeing Liang Shicheng walking towards him, he was already full.  His head was sweating, and he answered cautiously: "Lord Enfu, the Huanqing Army is first, and the Shenwu Changsheng Army is behind. There will be no mistakes. In the past two days, my subordinates have tried their best to uniform the Huanqing Army.  The Dian army is very powerful" He gritted his teeth and whispered: "The Huanqing army entered first, and my subordinates were brave. They suppressed the Shenwu Changsheng army for half an hour before letting them leave the camp and enter the city.  The officials have already seen the power of the Huanqing Army, so the Shenwu Changsheng Army will naturally not show off" Liang Shicheng showed a look of satisfaction on his face, nodded and said: "Well done, well done.  ! " Wu Min's arrangement is very sinister, and he has figured it out thoroughly.  Zhao Ji's character is greedy for novelty but impatient.  After watching the victory of the Huanqing Army, I had to wait for a while before watching the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army. I guess I had lost my temper a long time ago and finished it hastily.  No matter how good Xiao Yan is, he probably won't be able to show it.  Xiao Yan was trying to figure out Zhao Ji in Tu, but the big guys like Bianliang had been trying to figure out Zhao Ji for how many years!  Not to mention that the Huanqing Army received almost unlimited resources to help them strengthen their military power. According to this era, it was already powerful enough.  There is a disconnect between the two armies. When the time comes, any Privy Council official can be blamed for his poor arrangements and be made a scapegoat.  Liang Shicheng understood the key point as soon as he heard it.  The moment is great joy.  And Wu Min was equally overjoyed when he heard Liang Shicheng's six words. If he did well, he would praise him for his good arrangements, but if he did well, he would promise to secure the throne of Xifu!  The two of them were talking to each other, but Cai Jing in front of him looked back coldly at this time. Liang Shicheng and him looked at each other from a distance, with no expression on their faces, and they smiled politely at each other.  Liang Shicheng walked away quietly and waited beside Zhao Ji. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out?  ¡«¡«??~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~ The sound of the mountain calling for long live spread far away outside Nanxun Gate.  The officials of the Privy Council and the Ministry of Rites who were waiting at the front of the Huanqing Army rushed to the Central Army and shouted: "Wang Taiwei, the officials have already ascended to Xuande Tower!"  The military drum trumpet suddenly sounded loudly.  The carefully selected Shaanxi men in the front row of each battalion held their flags and banners high and marched forward.  Thousands of soldiers followed the general's orders and started to move one by one.  After practicing for so many days, the formation is quite neat.  Only the sound of armor clashing was heard.  As soon as the army formation moved, the people around him suddenly burst into cheers.  ¡°It¡¯s a victory, it¡¯s a victory!¡± The cheers rang out from outside Nanxun Gate and reached inside Nanxun Gate in a blink of an eye. The people who heard it along the street cheered in response.  The sound suddenly became louder than ng, and all the officials and nobles high up along the street came to the windows with a good view.  The people below were jostling each other and rushing forward. Those idle people who liked the excitement couldn't hold back their screams and pushed people forward.  The imperial guard on duty, a big man with a hairy head who waited on everyone, tried his best to keep the line of people from flooding into the streets as the army marched.  The child who was squeezed immediately began to cry.  The government officials who maintained order among the crowd were all shouting curses.  The sound was even more noisy.  Those people who were crowded along the river were even more unlucky. Whenever there was a movement of people, people were constantly being squeezed into the river.  Fortunately, the weather was warm and the river was not deep. There were people all around, and they were able to pull them up in a hurry.  The ladies on the boat looked at this scene and all smiled.  The bustle of Bianliang City suddenly increased tenfold as the Huanqing Army began to enter the city. The whole city became restless, waiting for this rare event, as if it was a festival that everyone could enjoy!  Thousands of soldiers of the Huanqing Army raised their heads and chests high at this time, advancing one battalion after another.  Each battalion has twenty columns, with more than twenty men in each column.  The wide north-south avenue is packed to the brim.  During the march, there were cheers.  Flowers and fragrant fruits are constantly thrown in front of the horse.  There is even a girl's scented sweat towel.  For most of the officers and soldiers of the Huanqing Army, how can they remember that they are a defeated army at this time?  The fear and shame I felt in front of the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army along the way immediately faded away a lot. Everyone was smiling from ear to ear, and the sound of marching drums and bugles was no longer real. The queue that had some appearance suddenly became a bit unorganized.  When they got up, many soldiers in the queue couldn't help but look around to see if there was any beautiful Bianliang girl.  Among the crowd, an idle man whose exposed arms and neck were covered with tattoos looked at the military man's behavior and immediately laughed and said: "That military man, we are the women who are accompanying the wine in the teahouse.  You are all special when you are waiting for an edict. Remember my name as a live Mengchang. If you go to the ghost market for fun, I will only charge you three hundred coins. Poor Beidi has been fighting for two years, and the sows are as good as Diao Chan.  ! Even if you are really tight-lipped and don¡¯t have any money in your waist, I won¡¯t do anything for you even though I¡¯m hosting you!¡± This idle man seems to have a good status in the Bianliang world, with dozens of strong men around him, and even military uniforms.  Colorful.  No one dared to approach him when he stood there, and everyone around him burst into laughter when they heard his loud joking. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? There are some bloody men, honest generals.  At this time, when they saw that the people of Bianliang treated them as a rare entertainment, they were secretly angry in their hearts.  I can only turn my face away and pretend I didn't see it.  The founding of the country has been going on for a long time, the world has become less popular, and the status of the military men is getting worse day by day. Here is the emperor's foot, and peace and enjoyment have been long. How can they understand the misery of the frontier army's decades of fighting, the pain of the wind and frost, the great  The pain of your home and country when the enemy attacks your pass and fortress?  Rao was the Huanqing Army. On the bank of the Gaoliang River, Liu Yanqing fought fiercely to the death before Liu Yanqing could escape. Cao Yi and dozens of other troops were about to die.  Now in the eyes of the people of Bianliang, it is nothing more than this!  In the eyes of the adults in the court, they were probably even more miserable. They were only used as weapons to deal with the Shenwu Changsheng Army and Xiao Yan, and their usefulness had expired. Perhaps these adults and ministers thought of these soldiers who had fought to the death for the country?  In real history, the Northern Song Dynasty perished for no reason.  The scholar-bureaucrats are arrogant and indulge in party strife, and the military ministers are arrogant and lazy. Even the common people are driven by the prosperous and impetuous world and only know how to chase petty profits, be greedy for novelty and love excitement.  The founding of the country was honest, simple and brave, but of course it will not survive.  Although the economic activities of the distant past generations created the pinnacle of civilization in the Middle Ages, they also gradually weakened the erect backbone of a nation. It can be clearly seen even in this victory ceremony!  Wang Zhen and Ma Kuo were in the queue, surrounded by the bustling scenery, but they didn't notice it at all.  The two looked at each other from time to time, feeling a little chilled in their hearts.  They are not willing to fight to the death for Bianliang. Even if the military situation is getting worse and worse and there are fewer and fewer troops capable of fighting, they will not retreat.  But can this Bianliang support these loyal and brave soldiers to fight to the end on the border? In the future, if they die in battle, will this Bianliang be remembered by the emperor's feet?   In this prosperous and deformed scene that disturbed half of Bianliang City, with hundreds of thousands of people cheering like a tsunami, the Huanqing Army slowly advanced and finally passed through the Zhuque Gate.  Went to the Royal Street.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~ This Royal Street is wide and exceeds the North and South Streets from Nanxun Gate to Zhuque Gate.  The two battalions in front immediately moved aside and brought out the Chinese army.  Wang Zhen went in front, and the generals followed behind. The red tassels on their helmets were dancing, and they rode straight towards the Xuande Tower in front of them. Behind them, on the wall of the Suzaku Gate, dozens of Forbidden Army soldiers blew their horns.  Upstairs in the Xuande Tower, the royal figures holding various musical instruments played the elegant music of Dasheng. This music was made by Emperor Huizong. For this purpose, the emperor's cauldron and the scene bell were specially cast.  Amidst the sound of Dasheng's music, everyone from the official residence of Xuande Tower onwards looked astonished.  Zhao Ji sat upright, and everyone stood upright.  Look at the soldiers of the Huanqing Army in the brigade, neatly dressed and marching in line.  At this time, the cheers of the people in Bianliang City have been left behind, and the imperial road is much quieter.  The footsteps of the Huan Qing Army hit the bluestone tiles under their feet, which was relatively neat.  Generals often wear steel chain mail or bright light mesh armor.  The leaves of Song Jiajia are very large, and after polishing, they shine brightly.  The front row of soldiers in each battalion are all carefully selected Shaanxi men. They wear infantry armor that was found in the arsenal. They have also been polished, and the joints of the armor leaves are decorated with brocade. It looks colorful and colorful.  nice.  These strong soldiers held all kinds of flags and flags in the army and formed a continuous line.  There are battalion recognition flags, general recognition flags, command flags, unit flags, and even colorful flags purely for decoration.  They are all made of fine brocade and look great.  Thousands of people filed in. The imperial street was only four miles long, and the tail of the procession was still south of the Suzaku Gate. It seemed to have endless momentum.  Zhao Ji grew up in the deep palace and never left the gorgeous and prosperous Bianliang. Although the Forbidden Army had some performances, these soldiers could not even stand in line, could not wear armor, and had not fought in decades. How could they compare?  Even the remnants of the Huanqing Army that had been defeated for a long time could be reorganized by someone as knowledgeable as Wang Zhen?  Immediately, his face showed joy and he said in a low voice: "Is the Huanqing Army so strong? The Northern Expedition is so elite. Although there have been some repetitions, it seems that it is expected to capture Yanjing. In the military report ahead, I'm afraid there will be some  If it is not true, the Huan Qing Army may not have contributed. Otherwise, why did it hurt so many athletes? It was a good decision to transfer the Huan Qing Army to the guard!" Hearing Zhao Ji's low praise, Liang Shicheng's face suddenly changed.  He was filled with pride, and quickly restrained himself. He still looked respectful and loyal, and said in a low voice: "It was Wu Min, the deputy privy envoy, who made the decision to mobilize the Qing army to join the guard. Since the officials appreciate it, it seems that the West Mansion still wants to  I have never done anything wrong." Zhao Ji nodded, said nothing, and sat up straighter on the throne.  Waiting for the king to report and the generals to come forward.  Liang Shicheng raised his head and couldn't help but glance at Cai Jing, and saw Cai Jing's white beard fluttering and his expression calm.  Liang Shicheng cursed in his heart: "Old man, you are still showing off at this moment!" Of course, the small movements in Xuande's upstairs were unknown to everyone below.  Even at this time, Ma Kuo put aside all the messy thoughts in his heart and followed Wang Xun's horse with sincerity and sincerity.  When they arrived a hundred steps away from Xuande Tower, the generals dismounted, bowed ten steps forward, took off their helmets, and paid homage.  After the king came down, everyone danced and shouted in unison: "Long live the saint, long live, long live!" Following the king's move, thousands of people surrounding the Qing Dynasty bowed down at the same time, except for the military men in the front row holding flags and flags.  He couldn't dance, so he could only kneel on his knees and lower his head. Everyone was doing the same thing, shouting loudly: "Long live the saint, long live, long live the saint!"  The conductors stood in front of Xuande Tower, faced around, and shouted loudly: "The sage has a decree, no need to pay tribute!" Wang Zhen waited for him to stand up, still kneeling on one knee, looking up and standing on Xuande Tower.  , Zhao Ji, who was as graceful as an immortal, reported loudly: "I was ordered to lead the heavenly troops to attack Yan's northern advance. After two years of fighting, I was fortunate to succeed. I killed the enemy chief Xiao Qian of the Liao Dynasty and surrendered hundreds of people to the stone.  With an army of 100,000, they captured the Liao Queen Xiao Puxian, captured her hundreds of officials, and burned her ancestral temple. The Liao people captured twenty-three counties and counties, and the people of Jinou, the Song Dynasty, were finally defeated!  Thanks to the great spirit of our ancestors, the benevolence of our officials, the planning of the ministers, and the good fortune of our officers and men, we were able to return to Bianliang and face the saint without much fear." Naturally, these words were formulated by the Ministry of Rites.  I don¡¯t know how many times I practiced it over and over last night, but now I feel really sincere about it. Upstairs in Xuande, Zhao Ji couldn¡¯t help but feel moved.  At this moment, Zhao Ji also felt a little emotional.  The person who was showing off his victory downstairs in Xuande was supposed to be Tong Guan, and the person standing next to him was supposed to be Wang Fu.  Unexpectedly, they were the ones who promoted the Northern Expedition. After the war, there were people downstairs around them.??There's a new person!  This war has been entangled for too long and caused great changes in Bianliang City.  I originally thought that by replacing Cai Jing with Wang Fu, I would be able to maintain the court situation for at least seven or eight years without major disruptions, and I could enjoy peace.  Cai Jing's influence is too deep, so just restrain it and wait until he dies of old age.  Who would have known that in the end, Cai Jing would be reinstated as prime minister, the Song Dynasty would become even more unbearable, the suppression of the Western Army would become increasingly ineffective, and the struggle between the several parties in the DPRK would become even more difficult!  Zhao Ji is not a person who likes drama. These days, the ministers are secretly wrestling with each other about how to arrange the Shenwu Evervictorious Army and Xiao Yan's status. How could he not know?  The longer it is delayed, the more troublesome it becomes.  But he felt that it would be impossible if the Imperial Army did not rectify it. Without Tong Guan to suppress the Western Army, there were no other soldiers who could fight in the whole world. Once something changes, his safety may not be guaranteed, no matter from the inside or outside.  Now seeing the power of the Huanqing Army, Wang Zhen showed a majestic and majestic appearance. Among the generals, he also recognized Ma Kuo, whom he admired very much. He immediately felt that it would be a good idea to hand over the imperial army to Wang Zhen for rectification.  ?  He was promoted by Tong Guan, and he was not of the same mind as the Western Army.  It saves you the headache of how to arrange Xiao Yan, it¡¯s better to have one less thing to do than one more thing to do!  After Xian Jiji, he informed the Xifu and asked them to come up with a plan on how to let Wang Zhen have such a position based on the Huanqing Army and to train at least tens of thousands of people who could fight against the Forbidden Army.  As for Xiao Yan, it doesn't matter if he is cold when he returns to the south.  After thinking about it, Zhao Ji felt that the barrier in his chest was loosening a little, so he strolled in front of Xuande Tower and gave warm words to comfort the generals and soldiers.  To be honest, Zhao Ji was a gentle emperor who didn't speak very loudly. Most of his generals didn't hear clearly what he said. It must have been nothing more than some kind reward and a day off to recuperate.  The generals below were all very angry, and when they came upstairs with their imperial equipment and the commanders shouted out their thanks, they all danced together again, kowtowed a few times, got the official reward, and first served in the most important place in the world.  Let the bustling place dissipate for a few days.  Afterwards, everything was as it should be, the military drums sounded again, and the Huanqing Army retreated to the west, walking along Yunlu Street towards Liang M¨¦n.  With the approval of the officials, the Banshi army could temporarily reside in Bianliang City. The Privy Council placed them in the west camp of Bianliang between Liangmen and Jinshuimen to guard the imperial city. There used to be a Majun Yamen there, and there was a large  In a military camp, with the number of soldiers and horses commanded by the guards and horsemen, there is a lot of space for the camp, which can be used to house the main army.  The Huan Qing Army left Yujie as quickly as it came. In the blink of an eye, it left Yujie.  Zhao Ji also looked to the west for a few times, then looked back to the south, frowning and saying: "Why hasn't this Shenwu Ever-victorious Army entered the Suzaku Gate? Where is the person in charge?" At the moment, there were ministers chatting and whispering in the Xuande Tower.  There was a lot of discussion, and the squadron showed victory. Naturally, one army followed the other.  Now when the Qing Army went around, there was no sign of the Shenwu Changsheng Army.  The sin of this arrangement is not a small one.  Only Cai Jing glanced at Liang Shicheng with a half-smile.  When Zhao Ji asked here, Wu Min came out of the crowd and bowed with great courtesy: "I dare not abdicate the blame! It's a victory. I should impeach and investigate myself, ask for punishment, and ask the saint to punish me severely!" Zhao Ji saw  Wu Min glanced at it and then thought about Wu Min's great achievements in presiding over powerful forces such as the Huanqing Army to enter the defense. In the future, he might have to rely on him to preside over the Xifu and support the military.  Immediately he said warmly: "The officers and assistants below must always check and not slack off. I still have high hopes for you." Wu Min also danced and worshiped on the mountain: "How dare I not do my best and then die!"  I wiped off a cold sweat, this shop finally won the bet!  Zhao Ji returned to the throne and shook his head gently: "But it is troublesome." After the victory of the Huanqing Army, Zhao Ji breathed a sigh of relief.  Thinking about going to the ancestral temple, offering sacrifices in the suburbs, and having to follow a lot of rituals and rituals, I felt troublesome.  Thinking that the Shenwu Ever Victorious Army seemed to be like this at best, I suddenly felt a little slack.  I've been in a bad mood these days, but I haven't evacuated much.  Now Xiao Yan, the trouble that caused the struggle between the DPRK and China, has been resolved. Although Cai Jing's opinion was not adopted this time, Cai Jing has also returned to the prime minister. Isn't this a failure?  When people are slacking off, they wish that everything in front of them would end quickly and they would have a good rest.  Liang Shicheng observed the words and said in a low voice: "The officials, the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army is nothing more than this. The city of Bianliang has also been rejoicing for this victory ceremony, and the people's morale has been taken care of. The officials are waiting for you.  The affairs are still very complicated, so I will send someone to ask the Shenwu Changsheng Army to speed up their journey, so as to appease the Shenwu Changsheng Army. There is no need for the officials to personally announce it, and Wu Mingong, the Deputy Privy Envoy, can do it.  What do the officials think? " Zhao Ji nodded slightly. Liang Shicheng was about to send his close associates to deliver the oral message. At this time, he heard the sound of Huang Zhong outside the south gate of Bianliang City. It came from afar and enveloped  Look around.  And there was even a faint singing sound, even though it was barely audible when it reached here, there was already a sense of¨¤ng the spirit of ileum.  Upstairs in Xuande, everyone changed their colors. Wu Min, who had just returned to his shift, asked quickly: "What is this?" A confidant who had been running around doing things this time wiped the sweat on his head and replied: "Sir, after pressing the button for half an hour,  Those coming into the city from the south are not only the Shenwu Changsheng Army, but also that Xiao Yan!
