0322 The Great Oath of the Three Armies
In mid-April, the long-prepared Kyoguchi Xingtai was finally officially established. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the early morning, a group of important ministers led by Yu Yi and Shen Chong came to the palace on foot in the Xianshan Manor, and then bowed to the queen mother to go to the altar to set up a suburban sacrifice, pray to the heavens and worship the ancestors, reward the three armies, and make a covenant to rebel.
Shen Zhezi is also in the front position of the team, he is now also a fake festival guard, lightly armored, followed by several squad swordsmen, and his momentum is more than the father in the front row.
Not far behind Shen Zhezi was a messenger from Jingzhou. Although the envoys of Jingzhou arrived late, they had the largest number of personnel, including Tao Kan's two sons and one grandson and several generals in Jingzhou, which could be regarded as sincere.
After Shen Zhezi's swords, Tao Kan's son Tao Xia, who was awarded the fifth rank marquis because of his father's merits, was the most famous among Tao Kan's sons except Tao Zhan, who died in battle earlier. It's just that at this time, Tao Xia's gaze at Shen Zhezi's back was quite unkind, and he whispered to the left and right attachés: "Boy He Xun? Ban Jian stands, and he dares to be ahead of me! ”
When the people around him heard this, their faces changed, and they hurriedly waved their hands to stop them: "Shiro is cautious......
Tao Xia snorted coldly and stopped talking, but his face was still a little gloomy.
At this time, in the palace, the queen mother was already dressed up and was sitting peacefully waiting for the ministers to come and ask for a ride. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, looked around for a moment, and then asked, "Where is King Langya?" ”
Several female officials who were temporarily charged by the Taichen family were stunned when they heard this, and one of them hurried out of the palace to ask for a moment, and then hurriedly returned to announce: "Yesterday, the eldest princess of Danyang invited King Langya to watch the Ya opera, and she has not returned yet. ”
"This lady in my family loves her younger brother, but today is different from the past, how can she waste her business because of play. Go and invite King Langya here, and set off with me later for the suburban sacrifice. ”
The Empress Dowager smiled, and then instructed the female official.
The two female officials were ordered to withdraw, and after more than half an hour they hurried back, but they did not bring King Langya, only Princess Xingnan came with them.
"Xingnan, why hasn't your brother come yet? If it's too late, you'll miss the auspicious time. ”
The queen mother looked at the sky, there was anxiety on her face, she had already spread the news that the ministers had already entered the palace, and they would arrive in a short time.
"Queen Mother, Ah Jue had a lot of fun last night, and she hasn't gotten up yet. Today, on the day of the ceremony, if he makes a mistake at such a young age, he will be blamed, so it is better to stay in the garden and be comfortable. Queen Mother, don't worry, I will take care of my second brother. ”
Princess Xingnan stepped forward to salute, and then replied.
The queen mother was a little displeased when she heard this: "Ah Jue has always been calm and steady, compared to ......"
"Ahem...... Please take a moment back, I have some private things to say to my mother. ”
Princess Xingnan coughed twice, waved her hand and retreated from the left and right people, leaving only two trustworthy female histories, and then said to the queen mother: "Queen Mother, the emperor is already a pole, and he is no longer a thing in his arms, how can he compare in front of people like this!" ”
After being reminded, the queen mother consciously lost her words, and she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and when she saw her daughter's slightly disgusted eyes, she was a little embarrassed: "I've been thinking too much recently, and I was negligent for a while, but fortunately Xingnan reminded me." However, Ah Jue has always been polite and calm, so that I can worry, you don't have to worry about him being rude in front of others. After praying to the heavens and worshiping the ancestors today, there is still a feast for the three armies. After all, the queen mother is a woman, and there must always be a man present in my family to be good at inside and outside. ”
When Princess Xingnan heard this, she couldn't help but sigh, and stepped forward and said: "Queen Mother, why are you so shallow, although Ah Jue has won the knighthood, he has not been out of the cabinet so far, in what capacity do you let him pass with you?" ”
"He is the emperor's brother-in-law, the grandson of the first emperor, and now the emperor is still in the capital, why can't he do it for him?"
was questioned by her daughter one after another, and the queen mother's face was a little stiff.
After hearing this, Princess Xingnan paused and said: "This time I created a platform to rebel against King Qin. Queen Mother, you bring Ah Jue to participate in the sacrifice, what will others think? There is no other day, the emperor is absent and is about to torture the ministers whether they have fulfilled their courtesies, how can this kind of thing be done for them? Now there are still a few uncles outside, and there are still my family's Ah Weng and husband. Queen Mother, you take Ah Jue out, how do you let Ah Jue deal with herself? How do those people on the outside deal with themselves? Will they come to rebel or stand up? ”
"Xingnan, you are getting more and more presumptuous!"
The Queen Mother's face sank, and her tone was completely cold, but Princess Xingnan's words shocked her heart. She asked King Langya to accompany her, it was indeed an ordinary woman's thoughts, since the eldest son was not there, why not the second son?
Seeing that the queen mother was angry, Princess Xingnan also felt that her attitude was a little inappropriate, and knelt down and whispered: "I am in a hurry to bump into the queen mother, and I hope the queen mother will forgive me." It's just that today's suburban sacrifice, Ah Jue can't accompany him no matter what, and please think twice about the queen mother! ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she was silent, and her face changed. Princess Xingnan's persuasion had already been heard in her heart, and she also felt that her thoughts were too naïve, and she did not consider what kind of message this move would send to others. In addition to the chagrin in my heart, I am more sad, mourning my own tragic life. In the early years, when the emperor was there, she only needed to live in the garden and raise her children. After the death of the first emperor, there was another eldest brother to take care of internal and external political affairs.
Only now, everything she relied on has fallen, and she realizes the difficulty of the world and the sinister nature of the human heart. It's just such a small thought, which contains a lot of considerations to make a decision, and it makes her feel more and more exhausted.
Thinking about it, tears were already sliding down the corners of the Queen Mother's eyes. She was just a courteous woman, and the general trend of these disturbances was too heavy for her to bear! 's perception of the current situation is not even as profound as his daughter's.
After being silent for a long time, the queen mother spoke: "Xingnan, the queen mother ......"
At this time, there was a loud noise outside the door, and the sound of the ministers shouting and kowtowing sounded from the mountains.
"The queen mother should stop thinking about it uselessly, you can't trust others, you should trust your daughter. I believe in my husband's words, and in the coming day, I will be able to sweep away the rebellion and recover Gyeonggi! ”
Princess Xingnan bowed deeply, and then quickly retreated, leaving the hall through the side door.
The queen mother took a deep breath, cheered up, and waited outside the door to make another invitation, then stood up and slowly walked out of the hall surrounded by a group of female officials who had returned to the palace. Then in the support of Yu Yi and others, he boarded the big chariot.
Seeing that there was no King Langya by the Queen Mother's side, Shen Zhezi also breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that his wife is still doing things safely. The attitude that the Queen Mother inadvertently revealed earlier made him wary.
How slow his mother-in-law is to political signals, Shen Zhezi also has a lot of understanding. If King Langya appears today, in the eyes of those who care, it is tantamount to the Queen Mother's acquiescence or hinting that King Langya can succeed the country, and there is no shortage of people who will act in vain, such as their own father. King Qin's rescue, or the establishment of a new king, once there are two choices in front of him, and then put them into action, there will be a big difference.
After picking up the Queen Mother, a group of people walked to the southern suburbs of Jingkou. A high altar has already been built here with earth and stones, and the ministers kneel and worship under the altar, and Yu Yi takes the stage and steps forward to receive the prayer in the hands of the queen mother, standing in front of the stage and chanting loudly.
After praying for the heavens, it is to worship the ancestors, and the ancestors of the Sima family can be regarded as having opened their eyes, from Luoyang to Chang'an, in Chang'an to Jiankang, and now they have appeared in Jingkou, and their experience can be described as rich.
After this lengthy ceremony, Shen Zhezi also knelt down with a sore knee, and when the drum sounded under the altar, he withdrew with the other generals who were the commanders of the army.
After the three drums sounded, all the ministers had moved to the lookout under the altar and sat down, and then the armies entered. The first to enter was the Nanxu army, which is now under the direct jurisdiction of Xingtai. The composition of this army is more complicated, in addition to the Huaibei Army and the local recruitment in Jingkou, there are also Wuzhong families to help put it together. Earlier homeless marshals like Xu Mao are now also included in this army. Yu Yi is now also serving as a supervisor in the army, but he is not allowed to take a holiday.
The cavalry warriors slowly walked past the altar, prostrated to the mountain, and then slowly retreated to the right to line up. Next is the Dongyangzhou army temporarily supervised by Shen Zhezi, and as soon as the extravagant armament appeared, it attracted everyone's attention. There was no shortage of people in the stands chanting "Zhuang Wu Zhong Erlang!" ”
After all the armies of all sides were arrayed, Yu Yi took the stage again, recited aloud in front of the army, and swore to the three armies. After the text, the military music sounded, and I got out of my car and pastored him. Since the Son of Heaven, it is said that I have come.
After the sonorous drums, heroic drumming, and a few military music, the whole ceremony came to an end. Shen Zhezi and other generals who were under the command of the army were guided to the stage and accepted formal appointments.
Jingzhou Thorn Shi Tao Kanjin was the general of the expedition to the west, the envoy of the festival, the governor of the capital, the head of the army of King Qin, and the leader of the counterinsurgency. Jiangzhou Thorn Shi Wen Qiaojin Hussar General, Envoy Holding Festival, Kaifu Yi with the Three Divisions. Wang Shujin, the general of the Chinese army, is the general of the guard, and he holds the ministry as before. Xuzhou Thorn Shi Xi Jian, Dongyang Thorn Shi Shen Chong is the same.
This was followed by the governors of other states and counties, either in the middle of the service, or in the addition of scattered cavalry, such as the more important counties of Wuxing, Yixing, Jinling, Xiangcheng and other counties, all of which also led the military of the Governor of the Section. Then a scepter was sent down, and when Shen Zhezi went to get him this fake festival again, he felt quite bored.
However, in the eyes of others, they can't help but be a little hot, and leading the army at the age of fifteen is simply an unprecedented opportunity for the country. In addition to the holiday, the political treatment that Shen Zhezi should have has finally been issued. Although it is only two thousand stones, it can already be called two thousand stones.
In fact, the Empress Dowager originally planned to add another fourth-class general rank, but Shen Zhezi also knew how dazzling he was now, and he still pushed what he could push. Otherwise, if you come to Japan to fight on the battlefield, you may have to be careful to beware of cold arrows in the back.
Even so, when Shen Zhezi led the seal, he felt a lot of cold eyes projecting at him. For example, Wang Yunzhi, who was present on behalf of his father, such as Tao Kan's two sons, and so on.
Wang Yunzhi has a grudge against himself, and Shen Zhezi can understand it. But Tao Kan's two sons were not pleasing to him, and Shen Zhezi was a little incomprehensible. But thinking about how superb Tao Kan's sons were, he was also relieved, and he still thought in his heart that he would meet Tao Hong, who came with him, and ask them why they came so late.
