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

The military parade is a ceremony in which the country reviews its armed forces.

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

"Zuo Zhuan" says: "The great affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military affairs."

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

But at that time it had a more specific name:

"Observe the troops to intimidate the princes."

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

In addition to the "Mengjin Pledge of Allegiance", there are also many military parade ceremonies, such as "Jiantu Alliance", "Huangchi Yaowu" and so on.

Although the organizers of the several military parades were all of different sizes.

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

However, although the military parade ceremony has appeared very early, it was during the Han Dynasty that the military parade ceremony became popular.

At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, because the Xiongnu in the north often caused chaos, rulers of all dynasties attached great importance to military affairs.

Under such circumstances, military parades that can promote military power and boost morale are often held.

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

In the current period, due to the troubled times with constant wars, military parade activities are even more valued by the rulers of the three families.

Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan, the three current overlords, all personally directed military parades.

Military parades are held for three reasons: oath-taking, dominance, and demonstration.

Taking the specific situation in Liangzhou as an example, Mi Yang's sudden desire to hold a military parade must have been for the last purpose - demonstration.

Liangzhou was the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty, and Mi Yang must have demonstrated to the generals of Cao Wei in Guanzhong if he wanted to demonstrate.

Precisely because he guessed Mi Yang's intention, when Mi Yang revealed this idea at a parliament half a month ago, his idea received strong support from all the state ministers.

No matter how they view Mi Yang behind their backs, they are all ministers of Liangzhou now.

For them, a grand military parade can be used to demonstrate the military power of their country and deter the powerful enemies in the north.

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

With the strong support of all the ministers, the preliminary preparations for the military parade went smoothly.

The fifteenth day of August in the second year of Zhangwu was the day when the Liangzhou military parade was held.

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

The origins of the Mid-Autumn Festival are diverse, but what is certain is that the Mid-Autumn Festival has become one of the important traditional festivals of the Han people in the Han Dynasty.

However, 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, ordered the specific period of the Mid-Autumn Festival to be determined in Liangzhou shortly after becoming the shepherd of Liangzhou.

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

Since the date of the Mid-Autumn Festival is closely related to the agricultural harvest season, when the Mid-Autumn Festival comes, people's mood will 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, Mi Yang, under Guan Yan's service, put on a dress and hat that would only be worn during grand ceremonies.

In ancient times, wearing dresses, hats, and hats was very cumbersome, but today Mi Yang rarely has the patience to let Guan Yan fiddle with her.

Mi Yang didn't know how long Guan Yan had been fiddling with it, but she only knew that his legs were almost numb from standing up.

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

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

It has to be said that although the dresses, crowns and hats of today are very troublesome to wear, it certainly has a reason for its existence if it is something that the nobility likes.

Mi Yang was already tall, but when he put on his gorgeous dress and hat, he looked even more noble and dignified, calm and dignified.

After putting on the dress and hat, Guan Yan finally hung a beautifully decorated long sword on 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:

"Can what we do today be accomplished?"

After hearing Guan Yan's worries, Mi Yang, the protagonist who wanted to do something big, didn'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 worried."

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

She is caring about him, but he is playing tricks on her.

But even though she was a little unhappy in her heart, Guan Yan still wished: "I hope your husband will come back victorious."

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

But in the world, is there any general who wears grand uniforms and goes to war?

Unless Mi Yang wants to fight a war without smoke.

After hearing Guan Yan's blessing, Mi Yang smiled even more.

"Wait until I return victorious."

Mi Yang's words were full of confidence.

After saying these words, Mi Yang came to the main hall outside with one hand on the long sword at his waist.

When Mi Yang arrived at the main hall, he found that Liangzhou officials, whether they were in the state capital or not, had already gathered in the main hall.

It looked like there were at least a hundred people there.

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

There are undoubtedly many officials gathered inside and outside the hall today. This is because today is both the Mid-Autumn Festival and the day when Mi Yang holds a grand military parade.

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

It’s no wonder that many officials take it so seriously.

Even the Wu brothers, who had been staying at home until now, came to the hall today.

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

Although Liangzhou is not big, it is small but has all the internal organs. When all the officials in the state are summoned, there are still hundreds of officials.

When Mi Yang appeared in the hall with a luxurious temperament, hundreds of officials in the hall looked at him.

When Mi Yang walked up to his seat step by step, all the civil and military officials in the hall, led by Fa Miao and Wu Yi respectively, all bowed to Mi Yang:

"On the Mid-Autumn Festival, I would like to congratulate Mu Bo!"

Hundreds of uniform congratulations instantly echoed throughout the entire hall, filling the empty hall to the brim.

Coupled with the special structure of the hall, the bursts of celebrations continued to echo in the hall.

Not only that, when bursts of congratulations were heard outside the hall, hundreds of officials outside the hall also began to congratulate Liangzhou Mu outside the hall under the auspices of the etiquette officer.

When the hundreds of celebrations in the hall and the hundreds of celebrations outside the hall collided with each other, it seemed to play a symphony that would make any man extremely intoxicated.

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

But when Mi Yang heard the symphony, his face looked very indifferent.

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

Because those tens of thousands of congratulations were definitely more inspiring and more sincere than the hundreds he heard so far.

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

"All your lords, please come with me to the outside of the city to see the great strength of our army!"

After saying this, Mi Yang immediately walked out of the hall.

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

When Mi Yang passed through the passage, a group of civil and military officials from Liangzhou behind him, led by Fa Miao and Wu Yi, turned into two streams and followed Mi Yang towards the main hall.

Walk outside.

When Mi Yang stepped out of the Zhou Mu Mansion and got into his car, the two streams of people, which were originally like streams, gradually grew bigger after hundreds of officials gathered in each.

The sound of a charioteer's horse was heard, and Mi Yang's honor guard immediately moved towards the outside of the city.

At the front of the team, there were more than a hundred fine riders clearing the way.

On both sides of the team, there were many soldiers guarding them.

At the end of the team, there were hundreds of officials.

When the state pastor's ceremonial guard, numbering over a thousand people, drove down Kuandai Street, it immediately aroused exclamations from the people in the houses on both sides of the street.

Is this the journey of a shepherd uncle?
