The eldest princess of Jinyang was dressed in red Luo Shang. Under her beautiful temples, her square peach and plum face looked eager and excited. At this moment, she was close to the city gate tower. She looked over the railing and saw the Beijing camp army below.
The soldiers passed by in large numbers with great momentum.
In fact, not only the eldest princess of Jinyang, but also Empress Song, Concubine Duanrong and other concubines, as well as Princess Xianning, Princess Nanyang and other royal wives and family members, who were still watching in the curtains, also unconsciously came closer and looked down at the imposing figure.
The mighty troops in the capital camp.
The eldest princess of Jinyang, with a face as red as a hibiscus in bloom, is as bright as a brocade cloud. At this moment, her beautiful eyes are looking into the distance, looking at the cavalry team below, searching for that heroic, tall and tall familiar figure.
She hasn't seen him for more than ten days since that man took Yuanchun home a few years ago.
The longings in the beauty's heart surged out like a tide, flooding her body and mind. Her beautiful eyes under the willow leaves' slender eyebrows were like dew, moistened with mist.
Empress Song and Concubine Duanrong stood side by side and looked at this charming beauty. Her narrow phoenix eyes were full of surprise and she said softly: "Sister, this military parade is unexpectedly so spectacular."
Although she couldn't tell what was good or bad, she could still tell that the military appearance was strict and the orders were strictly enforced, making it comfortable no matter how you looked at it.
Concubine Duanrong, the mother-in-law of Princess Xianning, also had a look of surprise on Guazi's face. Although she had lived in the palace for a long time, she had never seen the scene of the palace guard of honor in her early years. However, like this, killing
He has a strong spirit and strict orders and actions, which is indeed rare.
In this compartment, Yongchang's Prince Consort had a smile on his face. He turned to look at the Supreme Emperor and said: "Your Majesty, this Jia Heng is truly worthy of being a general's disciple. After the Ning Kingdom, the soldiers he trained were very strict and disciplined. He has been able to train his troops."
want."
After all, he was a military general who had overseen the northwest army when he was young. His ability to lead troops was mediocre, but his eyesight was incomparable.
Emperor Longzhi also had a faint smile on his old face and said: "You can see a leopard through a tube, and you can tell the autumn with a leaf. I think that given time, the Beijing camp will be able to train a mighty army again."
As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.
In the eyes of Emperor Longzhi, although such a new army was still very immature, it had the appearance of a strong army in terms of discipline and obedience. The only thing left was to experience many battles and temper the blade with blood.
After all, since the reorganization of the capital camp, there was not much time for Jia Heng to train his troops.
Originally, Chen Hanjunchen's expectations were not too high. This military parade undoubtedly exceeded the goal. However, the effect in his heart was naturally a feeling of unexpected surprise.
"Where is General Yunhui?" Upstairs at the city gate, Emperor Chongping's thin and sunken cheeks were unusually rosy. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and turned to ask the eunuch beside him.
As soon as these words came out, other ministers such as Han Huang, Li Zan and others were all stunned. They all looked up at the entrance of Anshunmen Street. It was true that they had not seen Jia Heng in the parade.
As the commander-in-chief of the military parade, Jia Heng did not appear in the parade, which seemed a bit unreasonable.
"Your Majesty, look, General Yunhui, that is General Yunhui!"
While the emperor and his ministers were in shock, an eunuch shouted in surprise.
I saw a group of cavalry coming at the end of the street. They were the teaching camp under Guo Yongying led by Jia Heng and the generals of the Beijing camp. There were about 500 people riding horses. Although they were still cavalry, they were
Compared with the previous cavalry, the military appearance is more neat and the momentum is more majestic, and they are all coming lightly with horse hooves, iron hoofs stepping on the bluestone, thump thump... It has a bit more majestic momentum than before.
Passing by the gate of Anshun, the young man in python suit and black cloak waved his hand, and the sound of roaring and neighing of horses rang out. The cavalry of the group paused suddenly, as if the tide had hit the beach and rocks, and their movements were neat and orderly.
"bass!"
The long sword was unsheathed, and the cold white blade reflected the late afternoon sunshine in winter. With the sound of "kill", all the soldiers shook their heads and looked sideways at Emperor Chongping and the ministers at the city gate tower.
"Long live the Holy One, long live the Holy One!"
Different from the previous slogan of victory for the Han army, this time the officers and soldiers led by Jia Heng were reviewed at the end. It was like the finale. The commander Jia Heng shouted "long live Emperor Chongping", which undoubtedly made it more prominent.
The significance of the generals in the capital camp swearing allegiance to Emperor Chongping.
In the distance, nearly 10,000 soldiers lined up at another street entrance also shouted long live. The sound of more than 20,000 soldiers and horses soared straight into the sky and shook the sacred capital.
The mountain call of Long Live at Anshun Gate spread throughout the long street and even spread throughout the sacred city. It was like a spring thunder that suddenly shook the sky and shocked the Han Dynasty monarchs and ministers who were watching the ceremony at Anshun Gate.
Emperor Chongping looked at the sergeant below with a shocked expression. He was surprised and delighted. As far as he could see, there were young faces with hot eyes and full of sincerity.
There are only eight words in my heart:
Where the military is headed, where the people want to be!
He has ruled the world for fifteen years. From then on, the mountains and rivers are forever solid, and no one can shake his throne!
Thinking of this, I looked at the white-haired emperor who was also wearing a bright yellow dragon robe. He seemed to be aware of it and turned around to look back.
It was a pair of old eyes, with complicated expressions: relief? doubt? helplessness? indifference?
Emperor Chongping didn't go into details, just glanced at it, and then looked at the cavalry below. His eyes fell on the young man riding the maroon horse. His heart was agitated, and he felt the blood surging in his chest and rushing towards his limbs.
I remember this feeling, it was the last time, when he ascended the throne, he was so excited that he almost couldn't control himself.
Many other civil and military ministers also had complexions that suddenly changed, and their expressions varied.
Yang Guochang's face was gloomy, and he looked coldly at the young man in the python suit below, roaring in his heart, "A sycophantic minister, a traitor who is causing harm to the country!"
Han Huang squinted his eyes, a cold light surging in his eyes, looking at the young man sitting on the saddle with a faint look, and for a moment, he sighed heavily in his heart.
The trend is achieved!
After a military parade, he has become the emperor's favorite general and the backbone of the imperial party!
At this moment, in the military honors formation, King Beijing looked excited. He looked at the soldiers below. This young prince, whose ancestors had great achievements and undiminished honors, was excited when he saw the military power of the Han Dynasty restored to its full glory.
The Prince of Nan'an County on the other side had no expression on his old face. He said nothing and just stared at the handsome young man.
But Liu Fang's face was ashen and she was cursing in her heart, a flattering minister!
Others, the clan kings looked shocked and were surprised.
Empress Song and her younger sister, Concubine Duanrong, looked at each other and caught the joy on each other's faces.
Accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves trampling across the bluestone road, the last battalion of cavalry led by Jia Heng surged through Anshun Gate like a tide and headed towards the end of the street.
Emperor Chongping was still unable to calm down in his agitated mood. He looked at Li Zan aside and said, "Li Qing, if the Beijing camp is organized in this way, why worry about the uncertainty of the northern captives?"
This is not an isolated military appearance, but Jia Heng's vigorous and resolute actions in rectifying the Beijing camp, as well as the huge changes before and after, giving Emperor Chongping a strong sense of confidence.
Li Zan looked at Emperor Chongping who was unable to control himself, carefully considered his words, and said: "Your Majesty, after all, the training time for the Beijing Camp is still short, and it needs at least one year of practice before it can be put to great use."
Emperor Chongping nodded, his face was full of excitement, and he said with a smile: "I know that Jia Ziyu's previous policy and advice to Zeng Yan was neither arrogant nor impetuous, and he was steady and steady."
When Yang Guochang heard the conversation between the monarch and his ministers, a thick haze enveloped his heart.
The emperor almost obeyed Jia Ziyu, which was a disaster rather than a blessing for the Han Dynasty!
Li Zan cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
At this moment, the Chen Han monarchs and ministers on the city gate tower were all talking about it and their emotions were high.
First of all, it has been many years since the last military parade. Suddenly seeing such a majestic military force, with the blessing of filters, I felt that the scene was grand and shocking.
Secondly, the reorganization of the Beijing camp under the leadership of Jia Heng mainly focused on military discipline and appearance, and commanding queues, which was also quite commendable in terms of viewing.
Military fighting skills, these can all be honed through skills.
If military discipline is unclear and the ranks are scattered, it goes without saying that no amount of fighting skills will be of any use, because the individual bravery of the soldiers can only be demonstrated to the greatest extent in the military array.
Someone in later generations once said that appearance is equal to fighting power!
So both laymen and insiders saw what they wanted to see.
At this time, Jia Heng led the cavalry group through Anshun Gate and came to the end of the street, reining in the horses just now.
At this time, a horseman came quickly, and the eunuch shouted loudly: "General Yunhui, the Holy Lord has spoken, and quickly go to the Anshun Gate to face the Holy Spirit."
Hearing this, Jia Heng received the order, turned to look at Cai Quan, Pang Shili and other generals at the side, and finally looked at Song Yuan at the side and said: "Master Song, please restrain the troops with all the generals."
Song Yuan should be ordered to do so.
At this time, Jia Heng whipped his horse and whipped towards Anshun Gate.
At this moment, the Anshun Gate Palace gate was wide open. Just as Jia Heng was about to turn over and dismount, he heard the shrill voice of the eunuch from the city gate tower, "The Holy One has spoken, General Yunhui can ride straight in without leaving the saddle and dismounting."
When Jia Heng heard this, his heart moved. His clear and clear voice was full of firmness without hesitation, and he said: "I thank you for your kindness, but I dare not obey the order because I am riding fast on the imperial road in the palace."
When the emperor is happy, he will lay mines for him. The royal road in Anshun gate generally does not allow military commanders to drive horses.
At this moment, the civil servants on the city gate who had been gradually shocked by the grand military parade frowned after hearing Emperor Chongping's oral instructions, and were hesitating whether to give advice.
Suddenly, hearing the words of the young man below, everyone's heart was shocked. Looking at the young man in the python suit who turned over and dismounted, his heart was inevitably filled with mixed feelings.
Such a young man has good conduct and is not arrogant because of being favored. He is really beyond reproach.
Li Zan looked at the young man with admiration and said to himself, be modest and prudent, neither arrogant nor impetuous, and your future is limitless.
Yang Guochang's eyes were a bit gloomy, and his heart became colder.
Pretending to be a treacherous person!
It's okay to say that he is so domineering, but for a young man who is not as powerful as a weakling, but is still deep and restrained after receiving such a special treatment from the emperor, it can only be said that... his ambition is not small!
At this time, Jia Heng entered the palace city following the greeting Dai Quan, climbed the horse path and went up to the city gate tower, met the complicated eyes of the civil and military ministers, looked calm, walked quickly, and came forward to salute, "I have seen you before."
Your Majesty, long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty."
Emperor Chongping could hardly suppress the excitement on his face and said: "Okay, okay."
He said "good word" twice.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Jia Qing is a good soldier."
Jia Heng said loudly: "I only lost a small amount of strength. Thanks to the hard work of the generals and the diligence of the soldiers, we can only take a look at the troops in the Beijing camp today."
Emperor Chongping looked at the young man in python suit with a handsome face, nodded, and after a moment said: "In order to formulate the decree, Jia Heng will first check the enemy's alertness, and when the Liwei Camp in Beijing is in trouble, he will mobilize his troops to quell the chaos and violence.
, to protect the palace of the emperor Jing, and was later ordered to supervise the training of the Jing camp, assist in military affairs, and perform military parades at Zhengdan. He was diligent, loyal and brave, and was specially promoted to the rank of Jia Heng as a first-class male. I admire him."
At the beginning, Jia Heng sent troops in time to quell the rebellion in the capital camp. Considering that Jia Heng had just been promoted to a first-class general, Emperor Chongping only gave him the title of Commander-in-Chief of Jin Yi and gave him a python suit as a sign of encouragement, but he did not give him a title.
.
This move is actually a waste of effort.
Strictly speaking, Ce Xun can be promoted to a baron, but he can be promoted to a third-class male or a second-class male at most, and cannot be added to a first-class male. Later, Jia Heng assisted Li Zan and Xiang Zan in military affairs and reorganized the Beijing camp. Now the two merits are the same, and the promotion is
For a first-class man, things will come naturally.
Of course, Emperor Chongping also had other plans.
As soon as the decree of promotion came out, the city gate tower was quiet for a moment.
Yang Guochang's expression suddenly changed, and he bowed: "Your Majesty, I think this is absolutely impossible! Although Jia Ziyu has done a little good work, it is all the responsibility of his job. How can he be rewarded unfairly? Taizu ordered that unless he has contributed to the country, he must not be awarded the fifth rank.
, I thought it was absolutely impossible!"
This is a disorderly order, and he will never obey it, even if it angers the emperor, he will not hesitate!
When Emperor Chongping heard this, he looked at Yang Guochang with cold eyes and said: "Jia Heng led the troops to quell the rebellion and protected the peace of the sacred capital. Isn't it a meritorious service to the country? Isn't it a meritorious service for Jia Heng to write the "Pinglu Policy" to formulate border policies for the Han Dynasty?
In Sheji? Isn’t it true that Jia Ziyu rectified the weak army, promoted military affairs, and paraded troops in front of Sheji?”
When Yang Guochang heard this, his heart was shaken, and cold sweat ran down his back.
It was not because of the reasons listed by the emperor that Jia Heng could be promoted, but because this was the first time the emperor had rebuked him in front of so many people.
Could it be that the emperor has given up his plans?
At this time, Li Zan looked indifferent and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Yang Ge may not know that it was Jia Yunhui's idea to set up the Economic Strategy and Appeasement Department in Beiping. His strategy can be followed for the general strategy of pacifying the captives and pacifying the border the day before yesterday.
He set up the Wei camp to rebel, protected domestic and foreign peace, and reorganized the capital camp, which was a great contribution to the country. Now that Jia Ziyu is a military officer, if he is not promoted to a noble title, can he show the clear distinction between rewards and punishments? "
In addition to the establishment of an economic strategy and pacification department mentioned in "Pinglu Ce", Ce Shu mentioned the establishment of regiment training in Hebei and other places. These were all strategies that he originally proposed for the emperor, but Yang Guochang strongly opposed.
At this time, the Supreme Emperor looked at the dispute between the monarch and his ministers from a distance, his eyes flashed, and he shook his head secretly.
Twenty-two years after Longzhi, party strife began to take shape. Yang Guochang was originally exiled by him because of something. Later, he was used by King Yong for his talents in planning and spending, and he was promoted and selected step by step.
Go into the center to ask questions.
Han Huang said: "Mr. Yang Ge, with Jia Yunhui's previous achievements, he is enough to be promoted to the fifth rank."
It would be unwise to pour cold water on the Emperor's prosperity at this moment.
The Beijing camp has been entrusted to Jia Heng by the Holy One. If he is not promoted to the fifth rank, how can he be in charge of the generals with the rank of General Yunhui?
He is just a first-class baron. Nowadays, many nobles who are waiting to die have this title. It can be said that they are everywhere. Giving him a baron can help him command the army. Just go to the end in person in such a serious manner, but he will become more and more holy.
It's just evil.
Do you really think that the Holy One left you, Zhang Butcher, just to eat pigs with hair on them?
At this moment, the two cabinet ministers spoke one after another. Seeing that the direction of the situation was unclear, other civil and military officials looked at each other and did not dare to interrupt for a while.
In the Chen-Han Gongjue system, the Duke of Dukes is the only one of the highest rank, while the Duke of Zinan is much inferior.
Some civil servants may have had the same idea as Han Huang. They felt that Yang Guochang was a little sensitive, and perhaps he had a grudge because he was impeached by Jia Heng yesterday.
Yang Guochang stood there, his heart gradually sinking to the bottom.
Emperor Chongping said solemnly: "Mr. Yang Ge, if the rewards and punishments are unclear, everything will not work. If the rewards and punishments are clear, everything can be done. With Jia Heng's previous achievements, it is logical to promote him to the rank of first-class male."
After saying that, he turned to look at the young man in python suit opposite and said: "Jia Qing must be diligent in his work from now on."
When Jia Heng heard the words, his face was shaken, there were almost tears in his eyes, and his voice seemed to be choked, "The Holy Lord simply rescued the ministers from the weak, and the honors and awards continued, the emperor's favor was so great, the sky was thick, even if the ministers were shattered to pieces, it would be difficult for them to do so.
Repay your kindness to your father for nurturing me."
Yang Guochang looked at this scene, and his heart became more solemn.
Seeing the young man's expression of tears of gratitude, Emperor Chongping's eyes were somewhat satisfied, and he secretly thought, this is the young man.
He said to Jia Heng: "The troops in the capital camp still need to be strengthened. I will wait for you to assemble the army and go out, and the Kruls will be victorious. At that time, why should I be stingy with the prince's title?"
If he was not promoted to a noble title, he would still have to command the key troops in charge of the capital camp and the military and horse divisions of the five cities. He was afraid that he would not be able to sleep well at night.
