Chapter 1081 Three-piece set (monthly ticket plus 1 update)
Changxia Tower is the tower of Changxia Gate.
When the army went out for an expedition, it was a tradition for the emperor to go upstairs to see off the soldiers and greet the soldiers. For example, when Zhang Qian led his army to the west to conquer Jingyuan, the saint went to the west tower of An to see off the army - that time, he really saw him off.
A military formation has been formed in the open space outside Changxia Gate.
Those who returned were General Tu's left and right flanks, tens of thousands of soldiers wearing armor and holding swords, standing solemnly on the spot.
More than 3,000 warriors selected from each battalion, as well as those with outstanding military exploits since the expedition, came out from the side and walked slowly downstairs of Changxia.
They divided into several groups, and after each group, the soldiers in formation cheered in unison.
This is part of the military ceremony related to the Grand Parade.
In fact, it has been simplified. Generally speaking, strong bows and crossbows will be placed at this time for the emperor to review the warriors. Some strong horses may be selected for the soldiers to gallop and fight, and to shoot at random people.
The emperor became interested and personally commanded the armored sergeants sitting on the ground to stand up and form a formation to charge.
All civil and military officials, guests from the Tibetan clan, and scholars from various states came to watch and comment. Everyone participated - even the civil officials talked about the performances of the warriors with great interest.
This is a tradition inherited from the "barbaric" Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods and continues to this day.
The emperor's military character is actually very strong, and the requirements for the emperor's civil affairs may not be so high, but it is best to have martial arts and understand military strategy.
People from the nearby capital can also come and watch. In fact, they come every time. Not only do they like to watch the parade, but they even like to watch the battles - at the Battle of Yecheng, the melon-eaters who were watching the battle were beaten, causing riots.
Military rituals continued during the Five Dynasties period and lasted until the early Northern Song Dynasty. Since Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, they became less and less frequent and gradually disappeared. The military color of the emperors of the Central Plains Dynasty became lighter and weaker. Occasionally, someone who liked martial arts would appear.
It can’t stand that the overall situation is becoming more and more biased towards the literati emperor.
"Queen, these are all warriors. Some are skilled, some attack the city first, some kill more thieves, some conflict with the enemy first, or some capture the thieves back alive. There are more than 3,300 people in total." Shao Shude introduced at the side.
.
The queen watched with great interest and suddenly asked: "How did the Taifu know that there were more than 3,300 people?"
"This is easy to hear. Anyone who is experienced in fighting can count it." Shao Shude replied.
"I heard that all the saints in the country will participate in hunting and martial arts lectures?" the queen asked.
"Yes." Shao Shude replied: "In the thirteenth year of Kaiyuan (725), Xuanzong held a field hunting, rode on horseback and shot a hare with an arrow. The Turkic envoy Ashnad Jiliba dismounted and retrieved the prey and presented it to Tianke
sweat."
"Can Taifu know how to shoot?"
"If the queen wants it, I can go on horseback and shoot some pheasants, and the foxes and rabbits will come back and offer them. It won't be difficult."
The queen wanted to say something else, but Feng Yanqing coughed.
You two, male and female, can you please restrain yourself?
One is a queen who is about to subjugate her country, and the other is a usurper who is about to found a country. The former’s words cannot convey the sadness of the country’s subjugation, and the latter does not have the ruthlessness of a rebellious minister and traitor. What is going on? Princess Zhe came to Luoyang, and she was afraid that she was going to put her down.
The subjugated queen was treated as prey and shot to death with one arrow.
Shao Shude's face straightened and he said: "Queen, according to etiquette, it's time for me to go down."
"Please go, please," the queen agreed.
After saying that, she moved slightly closer to the female wall and looked down carefully.
After a while, I saw a large group of cavalry rushing out of Changxia Gate. The leader was wearing a bright red military uniform. When he arrived in front of the formation, he raised his whip and stood on horseback, looking majestic.
Suddenly, a roar like a roaring mountain and a tsunami sounded in the wilderness.
The sound waves spread from far to near, making people's hearts tremble. "Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"This..." All civil and military officials have only seen the Shence Army arrayed in formation.
To be fair, the formation of the group of little sheep was quite good, with all kinds of tricks, like playing tricks, which made people dazzled.
The group of people in front of them were also in formation, but they were full of murderous intent, as if they were going to come up and kill someone if they disagreed, which was not pleasing to Shence Jun.
Tsk tsk, even laymen can see the difference, Shence Army is going well.
The Queen was also startled. But her attention was different from the others. It was always locked on Shao Shude. She looked at the man with his right hand raised high and shouted: "Where is the sudden general?"
"The sudden general is here!" Thirty thousand soldiers shouted in unison.
"Where is the sudden general?" He raised his hand high again, and then chopped it down with force.
"The general is here!"
"Where is the sudden general?"
"The sudden general is here to kill! Kill! Kill!"
If so, three.
The queen had goosebumps all over her body, her delicate hands clenched into fists, and her delicate body trembled slightly.
Mrs. Chen brought a cotton coat over and put it on the queen. Then she was a little surprised. The queen's face turned red. She didn't look like she was cold, but she was excited?
Shao Shude rode his horse through the entire military formation. There were loud noises and the sergeants were in high spirits.
Zhu Pu and Xiao Qu looked at each other and laughed.
Is it possible that the saint still wants to bribe the general and stabilize the sergeants after the assassination is successful?
"Queen." Feng Yanqing suddenly spoke: "I have heard of the ancient wise kings who always seek help from others to quell chaos and protect the country. The Taifu has great vision and great ambition. He uses power and strategy to control the enemy and is sincere and honest.
During the Kuang period, he overcame thorns and achieved great success, and the adventures were difficult but not easy. He might divide his troops to fight in the east and sweep away the comatose people in Henan;
, he is a treasured minister of the country and can contribute to the great cause of the emperor. It is appropriate to give him special treatment so as to announce his good achievements."
The queen came back to her senses, her voice was slightly hoarse, and said: "What the grand master said is absolutely true. I don't know how to reward it?"
Feng Yanqing solemnly said: "Tai Tuo's merits are profound and important. I think that he can be allowed to enter the court without any tendency, go to the palace with swords and shoes, praise and worship without name, and add nine tins."
The ministers were silent.
Jiuxi refers to the nine kinds of utensils given by the emperor to his ministers.
The first is the high-standard chariots and horses, which are not much different from the imperial chariots that the emperor rides; the second is the uniform of Gun Mian; the third is the hanging music in the palace; the fourth is the red door, which is the big red door; the fifth is the
Nabi, that is, the specially excavated majestic level when ascending the steps to the court, can be understood as a special passage; the sixth one is the tiger ben, that is, the number of guards; the seventh one is the bow and arrow, a special red bow and special black arrows, which can be used to kill invincible enemies.
The righteous; the eighth one is the ax and ax, which can kill the guilty; the ninth one is the jade (j)鬯hng), which is used for sacrificial wine.
Now that you have obtained these nine things, look again, are you still the same as other ministers?
Look at the robes of the Crown Prince, and then look at the instruments and music that are only available in the palace. There are so many soldiers around, who can use bows, arrows, axes and axes to kill people. Those who are killed are unjust people and guilty people. They still have special passages when they go to court. Only
You can walk alone.
In addition, when he enters the court, he goes to the palace with swords and shoes, and he praises and worships without recognition. How can he still be a minister?
"Good." Queen He only hesitated slightly before agreeing.
Her hesitation was not because she was reluctant to give these things. In fact, she had already figured it out. Datang would die sooner or later, and it was unstoppable. It didn't matter whether she gave these things or not.
She just felt it was a pity that she wouldn't be the queen for a few more days, and her fate was still undecided.
I remembered the warm shouting again from below the tower.
The Queen stopped watching, showing no interest.
******
The military parade at Changxiamen ended at Youshi.
In this event, the civil and military officials were the tools. They blew the cold wind on the tower, just to let Feng Yanqing quote those words.
The first piece of the three-piece set for usurping the throne is to be the commander-in-chief of all military affairs at home and abroad, the prime minister of the country, and the chief minister.
Taifu Shao has completed this task and has become the prime minister of the country, the chief minister of Bai Kui, and the marshal of all troops and horses.
The second one: Entering the court without any hesitation, going to the palace with swords and shoes, and praising and worshiping in vain. The third one: Adding nine tins.
I gave them all today. Of course, I had to give in.
When Shao Shude returned to Changxia Tower, he resigned on the spot. This was the first time.
Continue the process later.
It sounds sad and ridiculous to say that since the Western Zhou Dynasty, the word "ritual" has been used throughout. Nowadays, even usurping the throne has to use "ritual".
Shao Shude suspected that Wang Mang invented it, and then it was interpreted by various usurpers in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties. The process has been completely standardized, making people dumbfounded.
It's better than adding a yellow robe directly! When Guo Wei wore a yellow robe, I don't know if there was a dragon chair to sit on. I'm afraid there wasn't one in his haste. This is really the ultimate simple style.
There were a few peaceful days after the Lantern Festival.
Going to and from court every day, the ministers clocked in to work, waiting to receive their wages. Shao Shude was busy nervously. He sat in the Privy Council every day, sorting out major military affairs with the Privy Council envoys, and working out detailed operational rules.
Once you have an idea, if you want to implement it, you have to formulate rules and regulations. This system must be very detailed and cannot leave any loopholes for others. Everyone is a veteran of the army and is very familiar with the military.
With my words, I quickly blocked the place where the Qiu Ba people could show their cleverness.
When he was free, Shao Shude continued to play some exciting games with the queen.
The queen's dress has twelve buttons, and Shao Shude has untied them all.
Now no longer satisfied with leaving teeth marks on the twin peaks, the queen was even forced to change into a knee-covering garment midway through - a knee-covering garment, which covers the thighs and knees and is worn on the innermost part, somewhat similar to an apron. This
It is true that toys get dirty easily, and it is uncomfortable to wear them when they are dirty, so they must be replaced.
On the twilight of the first lunar month, give a day off.
On Zhonghe Festival, give me a day off.
By the fifth day of the second lunar month, all Jiuxi's belongings had been delivered to the Shao Mansion, except for Nabi.
The person who came to deliver the utensils was Wang Pu, an old acquaintance and doctor in the Ministry of Justice.
"I resigned, take it back and don't come back this month." Shao Shude said casually while looking at the map.
"As ordered." Wang Pu responded simply.
"Wang Shilang, I have been thinking about rectifying the military forces of various states these days. Are you interested in serving in the Ministry of War?" Shao Shude asked.
Wang Pu was a little surprised. Did his decisive surrender at the critical moment finally pay off?
He is a doctor in the Ministry of Justice, and he was probably promoted to the Ministry of War. Could he be the Minister of the Ministry of War?
"I will obey Taifu's orders," Wang Pu replied.
Shao Shude smiled and said: "Letting you go to the Ministry of War is not just to reward you for your merits, but to do something."
"Understood." Wang Pu said.
"I have already clarified the Nanya forbidden army and the Beiyafan army, and now I have to rectify the prefectural and county soldiers all over the world." Shao Shude said: "Zhili Road and Guanbei Road have set an example, and the response is acceptable. Next, I will recruit all the governors.
military power."
Wang Pu frowned and said: "Your Highness, if the governor does not have military power, once there is a change in the local area, it will be difficult to react in a hurry, which may lead to disaster."
Shao Shude sighed and said nothing. This is the truth.
"You can go to the Ministry of War the day after tomorrow. Du Rongneng is coming back from Helong, and he will be the new Minister of the Ministry of War." Shao Shude waved his hand and asked him to leave.
The imperial army, the Tibetan soldiers, and the state and county soldiers were all organized and involved in many things. They really needed to be carefully planned and discussed.
(A friend wrote a history book, "Li Han", which is here. I personally think it is very good. It is a serious historical text. Interested readers can read it.)
