【Chapter 333】 Wealth and nobility do not forget
Half a month later.
The reorganization of the whole army was initially completed, and then the main battalion of the Xiliang Army left Chang'an City and all of them were temporarily stationed outside the city. The soldiers who stayed in Chang'an were the 20,000 county soldiers under Tietuo's tent, and in addition, there were 10,000 Jinqi guards and iron cavalry left in the city.
With more than 200,000 troops out of the city and camped, Chang'an City gradually returned to normal order, and the Chang'an Rebellion came to an end, and the whole situation became clearer and clearer.
The previously chaotic palace has also been renovated, and all the palaces and courtyards have been cleaned up and renewed.
The next day, the sky was slightly bright, and the soldiers guarding the city stationed in Chang'an stood solemnly, and the four city gates in the southeast, northwest, and southeast were all wide open.
Outside the west gate, five thousand Jinqi guard cavalry stood guard at the gate of the city, and the person standing in front of the army was Li Li, the commander of the Xiliang army. However, he arrived here so early not to lead the army to the expedition, nor to return to Yiwu, but to meet the holy car of the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother early, and welcome the Son of Heaven back to the palace.
A kingdom shall not be without a king for a day.
Before Chang'an City was chaotic and there were endless military disasters, Li Li sent Huan Fei to "take" the little emperor to take refuge in the Wuwei army. Now Liu Xie has been "recuperating" in Yiwu for more than a month, and has never shown up, and now it is time to go to court. Otherwise, after a long time, rumors will inevitably spread, and the world will think that Liu Xie was killed, and Li Li will bear the infamy of plotting against the monarch.
Waiting at the gate of the city early in the morning, it can be said that he has done enough superficial work and put on a posture of a loyal minister of the Han family. Li Li just wants to let the people of the whole city and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military all see, he Li Li is a loyal minister loyal to the Han family, and the previous rectification of the Chang'an Imperial City is not to exclude dissidents, but to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, purge the rule of officials, and rectify the dynasty.
Now Chang'an City is in order, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. The little emperor Liu Xie returned to the palace again and reigned over the world.
After waiting for an hour and a half, the dragon crown of the Son of Heaven and the queen mother's Luan drove appeared outside the west gate and came slowly.
The accompanying team of the car driver is very large, and Tie Tuo personally led 20,000 foot soldiers to Yiwu to pick up the car, escorting the left and right all the way. The deputy commander of the Wuwei battalion, Jin Gu, guarded the horse next to the Son of Heaven's royal car, Tie Tuo followed the queen mother's Luan, and thirty palace maids and fifty eunuchs accompanied him. Next to the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother, there are honor guards in front and back, and flags are fluttering. Drumming and blowing sheng, 300 heavy armored cavalry took the lead to open the way, 20,000 infantry guards drove the chariots, and nearly 30,000 people greeted the car.
It's really majestic, and it's all over the world. The sonic boom is in all directions, and it is a good faction of the majesty of the Son of Heaven!
Such a grand formation. It made the people of Chang'an excited. The heart is surging. Countless people secretly thought to themselves: "The Liu royal family has not had such a spectacular scene for a long time!" ”
When Dong Zhuo moved west from the Luoyang Palace, the little emperor Liu Xie and Dong Zhuo sat in the same car, trembling all the way, their little faces turned white with fright, and when they got out of the car, their bodies trembled and their legs were paralyzed. As a result, he was caught in the elbow socket by Dong Zhuo and carried into the palace. That scene was unforgettable for many people in Chang'an, and the prestige of the Son of Heaven was also gone, and his prestige was discredited.
It's been two years. Chang'an City was in turmoil again, and the little emperor Liu Xieer entered the palace, but this time it was different from the past. The emperor's royal car and the queen mother's Luan driving honor guard is complete, more than 20,000 tigers and benders are guarding the left and right, and there is also a cavalry general Li Li led hundreds of civil and military officials out of the city for several miles to welcome them. Such a huge succession formation is the prestige that the Son of Heaven should have, Fang Xian's imperial power is supreme, and the emperor is the honor of the Ninety-Five.
However, because of their different statuses, the people and officials have very different moods after seeing the ceremony. This time to take over, it can be said that the layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway. It seems to be a huge succession, but in fact, it is quite intriguing.
First of all, the army that greeted the Holy Driver this time was the county soldiers led by Tie Tuo, not any of the soldiers and horses in the ten main battle camps. This alone is undoubtedly a direct announcement to all the generals of the Xiliang Army, this is the superficial form, to fill the little emperor with a façade and put on a show. Anyway, the county soldiers are idle, and they go out of the city for a walk and bring the little emperor back, which can also reflect Li Li's attention to the county soldiers. However, the civil servants of the DPRK and the Central Government are afraid that they will not understand it, because they do not know the reality of the Xiliang Army after the reorganization. Therefore, after seeing such a grand welcoming formation, the civil officials were full of excitement and excitement, thinking that the Han dynasty was expected to prosper, and the Son of Heaven was about to take over the power of the world.
Secondly, the escort general who followed the holy car was also extremely conspicuous, because this person was a lame general, and his entire left leg was mutilated below the knee, and he was particularly conspicuous on a war horse. This move made many old ministers of the DPRK and China frown, and their faces showed embarrassment, but they dared not speak out angrily, and did not dare to question Li Li in person. After all, the lame general is also a general, he is disabled and strong, he still wears armor to protect him, his horse does not leave the saddle, and his spirit is commendable. It's just that the lame general guards the royal car and enters the city with Liu Xie, the son of heaven, which is really intriguing and has far-reaching implications!
zuihou, that is, Tietuo guards the queen mother He's Luanjia, which is also contrary to the etiquette system. According to the clan etiquette system, most of the people who accompany the concubines of the inner palace are eunuchs, and the queen mother should naturally be accompanied by eunuchs, so as not to be criticized and humiliate the royal family. However, in the driving team, Tie Tuo, a middle-aged general, was arranged next to the Empress Dowager He's Luanjia, and such a majestic and bearded general escort was placed in a group of white-faced and beardless palace maids and eunuchs, as if standing out from the crowd, extremely conspicuous, giving people a strong visual impact. What's more, the woman in Luan's car, Empress Dowager He, at first glance, thought that she was very old and an old woman, but in fact she was not. Empress Dowager He is only thirty-four years old, she is a wolf-like, and she has a son, the late young emperor Liu Bian, if Liu Biao is still alive, he should be under the age of sixteen this year.
According to historical records, Empress Dowager He, who is also the sister of He Jin, was poisoned and killed together with Liu Wei, the king of Hongnong, shortly after Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, but this is not the case now. She is still alive and well, although Liu Xie is not her biological son, but she is still the queen mother, because she was the queen of the Spirit Emperor before, and now she has naturally become the queen mother.
It is said that during the Luoyang Rebellion, the Empress Dowager He was almost buried in the palace civil strife, and at the critical moment, Emperor Fu Song drew his sword to save her in the imperial history. After that, the deposed emperor Liu Wei was poisoned, and the He family was supposed to die together, but Huangfu Song's death was guaranteed, so that He can survive to this day, but Huangfu Song was hated by Dong Zhuo and was imprisoned. Fortunately, his son Huangfu Li pleaded for mercy in every possible way, and Dong Zhuo remembered Huangfu Song's past achievements, so he spared his life and was enshrined as the middle of the imperial history. After tossing and turning, the Empress Dowager He survived and ascended to the position of the Empress Dowager. However, the He family, who was lucky enough not to die, rarely showed up since moving the capital, only seeking self-preservation, turning a blind eye to the situation of Emperor Liu Xie, and not interfering in court politics.
Now, Tie Tuo is guarding the Luan car that the Empress Dowager He is riding, one is the tiger general in the prime of life, and the other is a widowed in the year of the tiger and wolf, which can't help but make people talk in private and point fingers. And the hundreds of officials who greeted him showed even more different colors, and they all turned their heads away, but they didn't see it, they couldn't see it, they didn't know it, they didn't worry about it. What else can they do?
"The ministers welcome Bixia (Queen Mother) back to the court, long live my emperor, long live!"
In the sound of kneeling, Jin Ji pushed open the royal car door, and Emperor Liu Xie stretched out his head calmly, looked at the surrounding situation, and said weakly: "Zhongqing is flat, get up and drive into the city." ”
After Liu Xie finished speaking, Jin Ji casually closed the car door, rode his horse to Li Li and bowed, and after seeing Li Li bow slightly, he retreated to the front of the royal car again, waved his big hand, and signaled the car to continue to go.

The main hall of Changle Palace.
The court meeting, which had been interrupted for more than a month, resumed normal order again, and the day after Emperor Liu Xie returned to Chang'an, the early dynasty was carried out as scheduled.
"Hundreds of officials enter the Hajj to see ———"
The sky was slightly bright, the east was dawning, and the main entrance of the main hall of Changle Palace opened on time as usual. As Xiao Huangmen stood in front of the palace gate and shouted sharply, the civil and military officials stepped on the jade steps, unloaded their swords and took off their shoes, and walked into the main hall in a neat and orderly manner.
In a short time, hundreds of civil and military officials all stood still, and the palace gate was immediately closed.
In the court, the position of the upper court in the Dong Zhuo period was impressively followed, with hundreds of officials standing on the right side and the generals of the Xiliang Army standing on the left. On the right side, Sangong was in front, Jiuqing followed, and then officials at all levels, numbering more than a hundred. On the left, Li Wei, who has been closed for a long time, stands in the front, followed by Li Xuan, Jia Xu, Li Ru, and the rest are: Xu Rong, Bo Cai, commander of the Wushu battalion, Dian Wei, commander of the Huben battalion, Teng Xiao, commander of the Wuwei battalion, Guo Yan, commander of the Qinglong battalion, Tie Tuo, commander of the county soldiers, Huan Fei, commander of the Flying Bear Soldiers, Li Dian, commander of the baggage battalion, Teng Yu, commander of the Wushuang Iron Cavalry, Cheng Yi, acting commander of the trapping camp, Li Zheng, acting commander of the Longxiang battalion, and Zhang Liao, deputy commander of Jin Yiwei. In addition, most of the deputy commanders of each battalion were ordered to come to the court, and dozens of army generals such as Hu Zhen, Ma Chao, Talu, Yinyu, Tie Yu, and Yang Ding all stood in the court.
At first glance, the military generals on the left are not as powerful as the civil officials on the right, but they are powerful, majestic, and murderous. When the palace gate was closed, the civil officials on the right couldn't help but feel the awe-inspiring momentum of the military generals' camp, which made many old ministers of the former dynasty frown, and a strong look of disgust appeared in their eyes. And some timid civil officials who cherish their lives are rickety, do not squint, and dare not look at the burly and majestic generals on the left, for fear of getting into trouble and losing their lives.
According to the Han Dynasty etiquette system, most of the generals in the Xiliang Army did not have the qualifications to go to the court to face the saints, their official positions were too low, far from reaching the official positions of the last dynasty to participate in politics, and even many people did not have formal official positions at all, and they did not get the imperial court, so they could only serve as Li Li's generals and guests. However, now the common people and reckless warriors in the eyes of these civil officials have gone to the court one after another, and they are in the same palace as ministers in a grand manner. This has to be said that Li Li is now in full power, commanding the entire Xiliang army and firmly controlling Chang'an City. Therefore, if a person ascends to heaven, the Xiliang generals who enter the hall this time will undoubtedly be entitled by the imperial court, and the lowest position is also a captain, and even more so, such as Li Dao and others are very likely to get the military position of the third duke and ascend to the sky in one step.
