Chapter 109 Each has a ghost
Chapter 109: Each has a tyrant
Today's Chang'an is different from usual. The difference is that there are more troops on the street. According to the experience of the people of Chang'an, whenever major events occur in the court, there will be more troops on the street.
"A big thing happened again in the court?"
"Has the imperial court defeated the Stone Castle City?"
"A corrupt official was taken down again. He must be an important official. I just don't know which important official he is?"
The people were talking about it, and there were all kinds of remarks. While the people were talking, more than 300 envoys appeared on the street under the escort of the Longwu Army and headed south along the Zhuque Street.
"The envoy is here, he must have gone to see the emperor!"
"Impossible, I'm going to the palace when I see the emperor."
"Who said that we must be in the palace? Isn't we always treat envoys outside the imperial city every year?"
"Then you can't leave the city?"
Looking at the envoys who left the city gate and headed south, the people could not understand it. If they were to see Emperor Ruizong, it was impossible to leave the city. This was the first time in the history of the Tang Dynasty that the people would not be surprised.
"Have you heard that? The emperor is going to watch the gun today!"
"What cannon?"
"Your message is really not very good. Of course it's artillery! The Longwu Army's schoolyard is like thunder every day, and it's artillery showing its power. Today, the emperor wants to go to watch it in person, and these envoys must have gone there too."
"Where? Let's go and see."
"I don't know the location. But you can follow the envoy."
This idea was good, and immediately there was a lot of echoes. One person suggested that, and the people were in harmony, and the people rushed up and followed the envoy to the south. At first, there were only dozens of people, but when the news spread, it was like a snowball. The people grew bigger and bigger, hundreds, thousands, thousands, and thousands. In the end, there were tens of thousands, which were extremely spectacular.
Gesang was in the envoy team, and looked at the people following behind him, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's a strange thing for the Tang people to be so concerned about national affairs. If they were in the Great Tubo, it would never be possible that there would be so many people paying attention to it, and they wouldn't even be called. If they wanted them to come, the best way was to say that there were delicious food and they would definitely come in a rush."
Tubo is a slave country, and the people do not have much rights and interests. Whether the country is good or bad, it has little to do with the people. It is tantamount to asking them to care about national affairs. Furthermore, Tubo is poor and backward, and starving is the privilege of the people. The people's greatest wish is to have enough food, and the most attractive thing to them is food.
"When I arrive at the ground, I have to find a good seat and take a look at the cannons. I have to remember the appearance of the cannons. After I return to China, I will ask our craftsmen to build them too." Gesang made up his mind secretly.
The Tang Dynasty had long been a secret to the training of artillery soldiers. After all, the sound of artillery was loud and dozens of artillery were constantly bombarding, so it was difficult to keep a secret. There were many people with Gesang's idea, and they were very alert to each other, but on the surface they pretended to be very intimate, commented casually, and explored each other's bottom.
Their idea was destined to be a dream and could not be realized. Under the escort of the Longwu Army, the envoy came to the west of the city ten miles south of the city, where there was a lush forest. The Longwu Army had already set up a formation here, and Ge Fushun commanded the Longwu Army to clear the field, and he could not stay within a radius of ten miles. Even the people here were controlled and concentrated in one place. Of course, before the Longwu Army took them away, one person gave Yizheng money as compensation.
Gesang and the others were brought to a depression, and Chen Que smiled and clasped his fists: "Chen Que is in accordance with the emperor's will, and welcomes all envoys. Please forgive me for your simplicity."
The envoy returned the tribute and said in unison: "I dare not."
"Come on, please take your seat." Chen Que gave an order, dozens of eunuchs came over, and asked the envoys to take your seat politely and thoughtfully.
Chen Qi clasped his fists again and said, "In the wilderness, you can only give me one seat. If you don't want to sit, it doesn't matter if you stand. However, Chen must remind you first: Don't walk around at will! Violators will be imprisoned!"
"Mr. Shen, what's the reason for this? We come to watch the cannons according to the emperor's will, how can we be here?"
"This is a depression, and the terrain is so short, how can we see it?"
"That's it! Lord Shen, have you made a mistake?"
The envoys had a plan, but they would not obey the instructions of Shen Dai, stay here honestly and argue with each other. Three hundred people were one mind, and this was really a big deal.
Chen Qi pressed down with both hands and signaled them to stop: "Every envoy, Chen Qi is doing his job according to the order, please don't make things difficult for Chen. Chen wants to warn you here that this is the Tang Dynasty and the emperor has the final say! The emperor wants you to watch the cannon here, so you must be here and not to make any comments!"
Gesang thought for a while, then clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Shen, we are very grateful for the emperor's kindness. However, the terrain here is too low and we can't see it. If we don't want us to approach, we can understand that the Tang Dynasty does not want to leak secrets. At least we have to stand at a high point."
"Yes! Here, we can't see anything, so how can we watch the gun like this?" His words immediately received a congratulation.
I want them to come, just to intimidate them, and I don’t want them to know what the artillery looks like and how it is fired. It’s perfect to put them in the depression, just listen to the sound.
Chen Que secretly praised Li Longji for his cleverness, his face was slapped, and he slapped his hands: "Come here! Look, if anyone moves randomly, take it down immediately!" Amid the promise of the Longwu Army soldiers, Chen Que clasped his fists and went straight away.
Come with hope, thinking that you can fill the cannon, but you didn't expect that you would fall into the trap. This was really unhappy. But looking at the murderous Longwu Army soldiers, what can more than 300 envoys do? You just sighed!
Not far from the right, there was a bunch of earth, nearly a hundred meters above the ground, and was covered with neatly dressed courtiers. They all looked expectant and their necks stretched out long, hoping to see the power of the cannon immediately.
This made Gesang and his envoys even more depressed. The Tang Dynasty's hospitality method was too strange. "Take preferential treatment for one's own people, but slow down on the envoys." What's the reason?
In addition to depression, the envoy began to change his mind again. When the ceremony was over, he prepared a gift and went to the homes of these officials to see if he could get some information.
People are going to be unlucky, drinking water will make you feel stuck in your teeth. The unlucky things of Gesang and the envoys are not over yet. The people are rushing up and stand around them, and they are surrounded by a mess.
I originally hoped that I would be lucky enough to take a look at the cannon and give the people a siege, but I had no last hope. There was an envoy who couldn't help it: "You get out of the way, this is our place, you can't stop us."
"You are so unreasonable, you open your eyes and tell lies! This is the place of the Tang Dynasty, what are your places? Your places are in your country." The people who responded quickly immediately retorted.
"Don't listen to it in a mess! I mean, this is the place where we watch the gun, you have to let us sew it out." The envoy discovered the grammatical problem and hurriedly corrected it.
"This is our Tang Dynasty place, of course we can be here. Are you an envoy really wide-minded?"
"Huaxia is a country of etiquette, we are envoys, and you should respect us."
"You also know that China is a country of etiquette? It has not been in vain in the Tang Dynasty, but has made great progress! Look, our emperor is so polite to you. He has prepared seats for you, so we can only stand and watch. Even the ministers in the court can only stand, and you are blessed enough." I don't know which ordinary citizen is so wise.
After hearing this, the envoys were almost bleeding.
He couldn't say it, so he had to ask the soldiers of Longwu Army: "Dear soldiers, can you drive them away? We can't see them here."
The officer of the Longwu Army replied even more simply: "We are ordered to protect your safety, it is not our duty!"
The envoys were completely stunned and had to accept their fate and rolled their eyes to the sky.
Gesang was the most depressed. He even thought of all the details of watching the cannon. In order to remember clearly, he went to bed early last night to rest in order to keep his head awake and remember more firmly. Unexpectedly, all efforts were in vain and he was trapped in this "well". He could do nothing except looking at the white clouds in the sky.
This is the ritual of observing? Where can I see the ritual of observing? All the envoys smiled bitterly and shook their heads.
The Longwu Army is mainly responsible for the on-site order today, not only protecting envoys and court officials, but also ensuring safety within a radius of ten miles. In addition to sending patrols, Ge Fushun also guarded three or five soldiers in groups to those important areas.
It is worthy of being the elite of the Tang Dynasty. The Dragon Martial Army is meticulous in carrying out missions, patrolling seriously, and guarding with responsibilities, and is impeccable.
In front of a big tree, three Dragon Martial Army soldiers stood upright, looking around vigilantly, without missing a single detail, even if there was a little movement, they were still paying attention.
However, what they didn't expect was that in the grass three feet around them, there were five people curled up inside. The five people were covered with grass, and there was no movement, and even if they stood beside them, they would not be able to find it.
The five people's eyes shot out a vicious light like a hungry wolf, staring at the three Dragon Martial Army soldiers.
The flags were waving on the road, and a team of dragon and martial arts troops arrived. Ruizong was in a surprisingly good mood today. He did not ride a dragon chariot, but rode a very majestic imperial horse. The imperial horse was all white, without any variegated colors, and a pair of golden saddles, and his whole body was filled with extraordinary feeling.
Ruizong was on his robe, riding on a white horse, energetic and running in control of the reins. His eyes looked around from time to time, and seeing so many people watching, he couldn't help but frown and asked, "Why are the people here?"
Li Longji, who was following him on a horse, replied: "Father, I guess the news has been leaked, and the people come and have fun."
Princess Taiping did not ride a car, but rode a horse. She was dressed in military uniform, and was full of heroic spirit. She was very excited and said with a smile: "Fifth Brother, the people like to join in the fun, so let them come and join in. Fifth Brother, what would the people think if the people knew that the Tang Dynasty had such a powerful weapon?"
Ruizong smiled and said, "That's all right, of course he's excited! Who is unhappy about such a beautiful thing?"
Princess Taiping nodded and said, "Yes! The military power of the Tang Dynasty is famous far and wide. If there is a powerful weapon like artillery, it is like adding wings. Wherever the army arrives, it will be invincible. Fifth brother, I am here to congratulate you on your achievements and your reputation will be passed down in history!"
Since he knew the power of artillery, Ruizong has keenly discovered that his opportunity to establish historical achievements has come. If he missed this opportunity, he would regret it for the rest of his life!
It was precisely based on this idea that Ruizong changed his previous practices. In the past, he was a good man, and he was humble when he met everyone, without any airs of an emperor. Since he had the idea of establishing historical achievements and becoming famous in history, Ruizong began to act and decided to be a great king, and to eat and eat at night.
Princess Taiping said this when she talked about Ruizong's worries. Ruizong was very happy and opened her mouth and laughed: "Little sister, you are becoming more and more adept at speaking! But, Brother Fifth! Really happy!"
The flattery was right. Princess Taiping glanced at Princess Jinxian and Princess Yuzhen who were following behind him, and smiled and said, "Two girls, don't you congratulate your father!"
Princess Jinxian and Princess Yuzhen were not obsessed with political affairs. If it were anything else, they would definitely not have come. The two of them had heard a lot of guns and told people so much that they had already wanted to see what they wanted to do. Of course, they would not miss this opportunity today. With the love that Ruizong has given them, this matter is just a word.
When the two heard this, they said together, "Congratulations to Father!"
Princess Yuzhen was the most naughty. She blinked her bright eyes and asked, "Father, should Dashi beat him?"
The Dashi has always caused a headache for the Tang Dynasty. First, the emerging Arab Empire is indeed powerful and powerful. Second, the journey is too far, and the Tang Dynasty wanted to fight with the Dashi, not because it was impossible to defeat it, but because it was a problem of supply. If the Dashi was destroyed, then the achievements of the Ruizong were not necessarily inferior to those of Emperor Taizong of Tang.
Although Princess Yuzhen was just joking, she happened to be the most difficult thing about Ruizong. She was both happy and a little difficult to make decisions. She smiled and asked back: "Girl, what are you talking about?"
Princess Yuzhen twisted her neck and said, "Father, you have to decide this. How dare you talk too much about your daughter? If the father says he will beat him, if he says he won't beat him, he will spare them."
The word "苏" is used so exquisitely that Ruizong couldn't help laughing: "Yuzhen, you girl, have a sweet mouth!"
The family was talking when a shocking sound of the mountain cries sounded: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
The call was not only court officials and Longwu Army, but also the common people. The people were the most enthusiastic and enthusiastic. The practice of artillery training in the Longwu Military Academy has long been spreading, and the cannons were so magical. Some said that they were even more powerful than the Thunder God in the sky, and some said that Chen Wanrong was the Thunder God who came down to earth and created such a powerful weapon.
No matter how many statements there are, they must be related to Ruizong. If Ruizong had not supported him, artillery could not be created. The current Ruizong has a much higher status in the minds of the people, compared to when they were just restored a year ago, one was in the sky and the other was underground. When the people first saw him coming, who could not shout?
This passionate cry can be heard at the first glance. Ruizong was very happy and waved his hand and said, "Flat!"
Tens of thousands of ordinary people were bowing to the ground. Although they could not hear the voice of Ruizong, they saw his actions. They all understood them and said, "Thank you, the emperor!" They stood up happily and looked at Ruizong very eagerly.
Under the escort of the Longwu Army and under the enthusiastic gaze of the people, Ruizong came to control the reins.
Just as the people shouted long live, the Longwu Army was suffering a catastrophe since its establishment.
It was still the same big tree. When the three Dragon Martial Army soldiers heard the shouts of the people, they were very excited: "The Emperor is here! The Emperor is here!"
They had the same idea as the common people. If it weren't for the support of Ruizong, Chen Wanrong would not have built artillery. Not to mention, Chen Wanrong was training artillery soldiers in the Longwu Army's schoolyard. They knew much more about the power of artillery than the common people. When Ruizong arrived, they were naturally very happy.
While they were talking, the five people curled up in the grass suddenly appeared and rushed over, stabbing the sharp blade in their hands at them.
The Longwu Army is the elite of the Tang army, well-trained. Although it becomes haste, it is still not afraid of danger. It waves a sword in its hand and concentrates on the battle.
However, the opponent is not weak, and it is more because the opponent is attacking with a surprise attack and has an advantage in numbers. Although the Dragon Martial Army fought hard, it still killed one of the five people in one blow.
"Hurry, send a signal!" A soldier from the Dragon Martial Army ordered and took out the arrow and was about to shoot into the sky. However, it was too late. A trained sword light appeared and his arm was cut off. Then, another sword light hit him in the chest.
Another soldier of the Dragon Martial Army cut off his neck with a knife, and blood splattered everywhere. The headless corpse fell to the ground with a bang, and the blood sprayed far away like water.
"You, you, clean up the blood!" A big man assigned two people to deal with the aftermath.
The big man and two others took off the armor of the Dragon Martial Army, put it on their bodies, and then carried a horizontal knife, like a Dragon Martial Army. Three people stood by the tree and began to guard.
The other two men dispose of the blood and dragged the three bodies into the grass to hide.
Not only the three Longwu soldiers were attacked, but also many guards of Longwu soldiers and patrolling Longwu soldiers. There were fighting and shouting during the attack. However, when Ruizong arrived, the people were so enthusiastic that the sound of long live was endless, which drowned out these fighting sounds.
After killing the Longwu Army, these attackers dealt with the scene while changing into the armor of the Longwu Army. After a while, they transformed into a member of the Longwu Army.
Ruizong was in a particularly good mood when he listened to the people's shouts and waved to the people from time to time. He thought, he had been emperor twice in his life, and today he realized how happy it is to be an emperor. The feeling of being an emperor is indeed great!
A mountain wind blew, and Ruizong and Princess Taiping and others found no strangeness. However, the smart Li Longji discovered the mystery, his face sank, and shouted: "Hurry, tell me Ge Fushun!"
Ruizong smiled and said, "Ge Fushun, the general of the Dragon Martial Army, is he good at training the Dragon Martial Army to be strong and strong. Should he be rewarded? Sanlang, or do you think carefully?"
