As for the theme of this military parade, Chengdu people have heard about it, that is, Deng Ming is going to make up the triumphal ceremony for returning from Burma.

After hearing the news, Meng Zhengfa suddenly realized that something was wrong, and he had also echoed Chen Zuocai before, saying that the attack on Burma was purely a waste of labor and money, but this battle was personally commanded by Deng Ming, and of course the King of Shaotang could not listen to such words. Therefore, Meng Zhengfa immediately changed his course and prepared several poems, ready to read aloud at Deng Ming's military parade, praising the glorious martial arts of the last time Wang Shi conquered Burma and showed off his might in a foreign land.

Chen Zuocai was still stubborn and insisted that since he didn't save the Son of Heaven, he could be called nothing, so he didn't plan to congratulate Deng Ming, and he didn't prepare any poems to praise virtue. Meng Zhengfa is not reluctant to do this, but he does not intend to follow suit, in his opinion, Chen Zuocai is determined to play a strong order, and Deng Ming's reputation will also follow the method of buying bones with thousands of dollars, and treat Chen Zuocai preferentially to win the hearts of the people. However, it is enough to have one of this kind of strong orders, Meng Zhengfa is familiar with history books, and knows that the emperor certainly needs a man like Chen Zuocai to add color to himself, but he also needs a well-behaved courtier who likes to figure out his intentions - Meng Zhengfa does not intend to compete with Chen Zuocai for the position of "strong order" with extremely limited positions.

As for the bad things that he had said about the Battle of Burma before, don't worry, at that time, Meng Zhengfa was dizzy by Gong Yan, and when he saw that the celebrities in the whole academy said that the Battle of Burma was futile, then he accidentally followed the trend and said a few words. Now that Baoguo Gong has revealed his words, Meng Zhengfa immediately corrected his mistakes, and did not hesitate to "fight yesterday's me with today's me", some scholars couldn't wipe their face, and they were embarrassed to change their words in public immediately; But Meng Zhengfa is not the kind of fool who can't tell which is more important, "leadership intention" and "personal face", if handled properly, this is even an opportunity, so that Deng Ming understands that he is a good courtier who absolutely takes the will of the leader as his will - anyway, he has shaved his head, and he has no chance to play the image of a tough guy.

In addition to preparing to resign, Hui Shiyang also won the position of commander-in-chief of the triumphal ceremony from Liu Jinge, he considered himself a veteran of several dynasties, proficient in various etiquette, and must organize the whole event solemnly and solemnly, so that Deng Ming was very happy. Originally, Gong Yan was the secretary of the Dashun Rite Government, and Gong Yan was also handy in handling various ceremonial activities, but Hui Shiyang claimed that he had not done anything for a long time since he came to Chengdu, so he took all the things over.

At first, Liu Jinge didn't agree, because he knew that Deng Ming didn't like others to bow to him, and when the rangers came to convey the order, they also explained that Deng Ming meant to let the fellow Xiucai move freely, as long as they didn't crowd the road.

However, Hui Shiyang pointed out that after Han Taizu saw the courtiers bowing to the mountain, he was immediately happy, saying that he knew that it was the joy of the Son of Heaven from then on. It can be seen that this is human nature, and no heroic character can escape it. Furthermore, Deng Ming was approachable, so he did not ask for a grand welcome ceremony for him, but the courtiers served loyally, and the more so, the more they insisted on the monarch and the minister, father and son, and the best etiquette must be dedicated to the monarch - otherwise what is the use of these courtiers? Yes, Zhao Kuangyin is a yellow robe, but this is the role of his subordinates, if Zhao Kuangyin does not pretend to sleep and wait for his subordinates to send a yellow robe, but finds someone to embroider the dragon robe and then put it on in public, what kind of system will it be?

Hui Shiyang's allusions to Han Taizu are very convincing, Liu Jinge knew that Deng Ming admired Liu Bang, and called Liu Bang a chic and heroic hero in front of them many times, and an indispensable husband. After being persuaded by Hui Shiyang, Liu Jinge acquiesced to him to organize some officials to urgently rehearse the welcoming ceremony.

However, Liu Jinge still kept an eye on it, did not publicly issue an administrative order announcing that Hui Shiyang was in charge of this matter, and did not order his subordinate officials to listen to Hui Shiyang's command, but only provided a little convenience for Hui Shiyang's arrangement and did not stop it. If Deng Ming is unhappy, Liu Jinge can say that this is all Hui Shiyang's own business - even if Deng Ming knows it, but this is what Hui Shiyang said, his subordinates are loyal, even if they pat the horse's legs, the boss is also happy, as long as there is an excuse, he will not pursue it. If Deng Ming likes it tightly, then it will be too late for Liu Jinge to show his merits - a few years of administrative work is very exercised, and Liu Jinge is not a hairy young man who only knows heads-up.

Early the next morning, when Deng Ming arrived at the city gate on time with the rangers, Liu Jinge was a little nervous and went out with his entourage to greet him. Chen Zuocai and Meng Zhengfa had already arrived, and the former was strained and planned to use this expression to express his protest; The latter was still reviewing his poems, and he was refining his tone and expression when reciting.

And Gong Yan, the general who broke into the camp, did not appear for a long time, and the commander-in-chief of the ceremonial team, Hui Shiyang, was nowhere to be found - in the past two days, Hui Shiyang urgently trained a ceremonial team of several hundred people, although the number is not very large, but Hui Shiyang is called a noble soldier and not much expensive. When Deng Ming rode into the city, the onlookers must have been in a mess, and hundreds of well-trained "elite soldiers" suddenly gave a big salute and made a neat congratulatory sound, which could stand out from the crowd. After surprising the Duke of Baoguo, he shocked everyone,

Liu Jinge agreed to the plan, but now that Deng Mingdu has arrived, the commander-in-chief has not come. The government of Li's book disappeared together, otherwise Gong Yan could definitely do it for him.

"Has Mr. Hui arrived?"

When Liu Jinge was still hesitating in his heart, Deng Ming's question had already come to his head, and he blurted out: "Not yet." ”

After Bao Guogong arrived, he mentioned Hui Shiyang as soon as he opened his mouth, which made Liu Jinge even more suspicious, he observed the people around him with his spare eyes, and did not notice anything abnormal.

After waiting for a while, Deng Ming finally became a little impatient, and spoke again: "Since Mr. Hui hasn't arrived yet, we won't wait, I heard that you have prepared a bowing ceremony?" Didn't I say that you must not insult the fame of the imperial court? ”

Liu Jinge complained in his heart, no wonder Deng Ming asked where Hui Shiyang was as soon as he opened his mouth, but this matter was decided the day before yesterday, and there were not many attendees.

As for what Deng Ming said that it is not allowed to insult the reputation of the imperial court, Liu Jinge was not a few years ago when he first became a criminal officer in Chengdu, and now who doesn't know that Deng Ming's reason is simply out of nowhere? Hui Shiyang said well, don't talk about the lord, don't talk about the show, do the officials dare not bow when they see the elder? When the elder saw his father-in-law, didn't he have to bend his knees? If it weren't for Hui Shiyang worshipping the big Buddha of Wang An, how could Donglin get the credit of making decisions? Later, Wen Tiren reported Donglin for selling official positions and cheating in the imperial examination, if he hadn't worshiped Cao Huachun and Cao's father-in-law in time, how could he have kicked Wen Tiren out of the court with a single blow? Wen Tiren is the best counterexample, his knees are quite his father-in-law, but as a result, Gonggong Cao moved his mouth in the emperor's ear, and he became a "eunuch".

"Alright, this is canceled." Deng Ming didn't give Liu Jinge more time to think, waved his hand and gave an order, and then he turned his head to look at Xiong Lan: "President Xiong, are things ready?" ”

"Rest assured, the Admiral is ready." Xiong Lan assured with a solemn expression.

Now, where would Liu Jinge not know who betrayed him and scolded him in his heart...... For the past year, he has always regarded the Qingcheng faction in the Senate as the primary enemy, and after Meng Zhengfa arrived in Chengdu, his energy was attracted to the academy again, and as a result, he relaxed his vigilance against Xiong Lan. When Hui Shiyang proposed two days ago, Xiong Lan and others were also present, and they swore to sign an offensive and defensive alliance with Liu Jinge, but they didn't expect to sell him as soon as they turned their faces, and they were innocent just now. Before Deng Ming solved the mystery, Liu Jinge was stunned and couldn't see a flaw.

I vaguely felt that Governor Liu beside me was casting an angry gaze, but Xiong Lan didn't pay attention to it at all. Two days ago, Hui Shiyangbo cited a side campaign, and it sounded like he had analyzed Deng Ming to the top, but Xiong Lan knew that it was actually wrong. If you talk about the likes and dislikes of Deng Ming, Xiong Lan has always prided herself as the first person in western Sichuan - she has never seen the legendary Prime Minister Zhou Peigong, but she praised him in private at Admiral Deng, Xiong Lan knew that Zhou Peigong was not an easy person, so she modestly did not proclaim herself the first in the world.

"Lao Tzu has surrendered to the Admiral three times, how can you imagine the danger? Don't you just have a good father? How could Admiral Deng judge him as an ordinary person? Xiong Lan's face was silent, and she laughed at Liu Jinge in her heart, and she was even more disdainful of Hui Shiyang, the high counselor sent by Kuidong: "It's like this Chunxi Road, when Admiral Deng asked everyone to name them, only I shouted 'Deng Highway' in the distance, and Admiral Deng's eyes lit up at that time, and he almost agreed." It's a pity, it's a pity that these idiots don't know how to carry a sedan chair, so they messed up a bunch of messy names, and finally Admiral Deng was embarrassed to get up, so he called this Chunxi Road. ”

So far, Xiong Lan's only major mistake is that she once asked Deng Ming to listen to Chen Zuocai's class. However, failure is the mother of success, and since then, Xiong Lan thinks that her ability to figure out Deng Ming has reached a new level: "Hui Shiyang's old horseman is not wrong about one thing, that is, he wants to follow the preferences of the admiral." But the Admiral really didn't like to bow down, so the Admiral was willing to sit on an equal footing with everyone and Tong Xiucai. As long as you follow this line of thought, you will never make mistakes; Whoever comes in the opposite direction will wait for the horse to be slapped on the leg and kicked! ”

Many people agreed with Hui Shiyang's suggestion, and even Xiong Lan's teacher, Qin Xiucai, hesitated. But Xiong Lan was extremely determined, and immediately sent someone to follow the rangers back to make a small report to Deng Ming, and reported the "conspiracy" of Hui Shiyang, Liu Jinge and others to Baoguo Gong. It didn't take long for the returning messenger to bring back the good news that Xiong Lan expected, Deng Ming handed over the follow-up work to Xiong Lan to be responsible, judging from the content, if there was no report from him, this job would definitely be given to Liu Jinge.

"Okay, let's go into town."
