Chapter 971: True Dragon

At the end of the third year of Zhonghe, the Chang'an court has issued an edict, the world amnesty, and exempted Henan, Guanlong, and Hedong from taxes next year, and at the same time announced that next year will be the first year of Zhenlong. Li Keyong did not spend the New Year in Taiyuan, on the eighteenth day of the lunar month, Li Ke used 5,000 cavalry black crow army to rebuild, 5,000 infantry Tielin army, plus 5,000 Yier army, plus 3,000 tooth cavalry, a total of 18,000 men and horses left the main plain and went south. After Li Keyong entered Wang Chongrong's Hezhong Town, he prepared to enter Heyang Town directly, cross the Yellow River from Heyang Bridge, and directly enter Zhengzhou and Bianzhou. As a result, the Heyang Festival made Zhuge Shuang full of vigilance against Li Keyong, for fear that this one-eyed dragon would come to a false way to destroy him, so he found several reasons and refused Li Keyong's excuse.

The messenger sent back the news, and Li Keyong was so angry that he almost led his troops to Pingping Heyang Mengzhou. He didn't expect that even a wall grass like Zhuge Shuang would dare to turn him away. Fortunately, he was persuaded by his subordinates to regain some of his senses. The target of this southward trip is Zhu Wen, not Zhuge Shuang, and he can't lose a big one because of a small thing. After the last day, Li Keyong had to swallow his anger and led his troops south from Hezhong Town, crossed the river at Fengling, entered Shaanzhou, and then passed through Luoyang, and then went to Zhengzhou to Bianzhou.

Just when Li Keyong marched south, the New Year finally arrived, on the first day of the first month, New Year's Day, and the first year of Datang Zhenlong.

It was also on this day that the people in Yanjing City learned from the announcements on the streets that it was just a rumor that the King of Qin, who had been rumored for half a year, wanted to set up a new emperor. The King of Qin did not canonize the new emperor, and even had a very close relationship with the Chang'an court.

The Son of Heaven of Chang'an canonized the King of Qin as the general of Tiance, Shangshu Ling, and Shangshu Ling, Daxingtai of Eastern Shaanxi Province. The generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses. Fake Huangyue. Pingzhang, militarism, important affairs and a series of other important positions. And what surprised everyone was that the imperial court sealed King Mu as the supervisor of military and state affairs, and in Yanjing supervised the country, and formed a Yanjing left-behind team headed by Li Jing, King of Qin, and Li Wei, King of Zhao, and Li Baotong, King of Ji. In addition to these, the Son of Heaven will also marry the niece of King Qin's own family as the queen.

The tension from years ago has become intimate in a blink of an eye, which makes everyone surprised and relieved.

The years of war have made everyone very nervous. Even life has been greatly affected. If you can be at peace with the imperial court, or even take a break for a few years, everyone will still be happy. Nobody wants to fight, and fighting is related to everyone. What made many Qin people even happier was that after reaching a peace agreement with the imperial court, the more than 100,000 people who had been plundered on the border the previous year would be returned, which for many people meant a reunion with their relatives.

The dark clouds of the Great War have lifted. This New Year, the atmosphere in all parts of the Qin Domain is full of joy, especially in Yanjing City. It's even more cheerful and lively here.

Chengtian Gate, the south gate of Yanjing Royal City, is also the main gate. Chengtianmen is the royal city, in front of the gate is the Chengtianmen Square, the huge Chengtianmen palace square separates the imperial city from the inner city, and there are also the royal city walls and the inner city walls between them.

The distance between the royal city and the inner city is enormous, especially in front of the Chengtianmen, where there is also a magnificent Chengtianmen palace square. This huge street and square not only separates the royal city from the inner city, sets off the majesty of the royal city, but also strengthens the security defense of the royal city, and this huge square and street has become the place where Yanjing's major celebrations are held.

At this time, on the first day of the first year of the real dragon, this square was crowded with people, and it was full of people changing into new clothes for the festival.

If it weren't for the Nine Gate Admiral's Yamen, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and the Praetorian Guards and Six Armies, which together added up to more than 100,000 people, who had prepared in advance, all of them were dispatched to maintain order on this day, and the number of people entering the square was limited, even the wide Chengtianmen Square would have the possibility of being crowded.

Despite the restrictions, more than 400,000 people were able to pour into the square. This is not only the locals of Yanjing, but also a large number of people from the vicinity of Yanjing, and even many from the distant Bohai Sea, and even Annam and other places. Especially during the New Year every year, it is an important day for officials from various provinces, states and counties in the Qin Domain to come to Yanjing to discuss matters, so it is even more lively. What's more, this year, near Yanjing, there are also millions of Han troops. Even if only a small part of the million-strong army received the order to enter Beijing, it still made Yanjing City full of people this time.

There are already more than 400,000 soldiers and civilians in the entire Chengtianmen Square, not counting the 100,000 Praetorian Guards in charge of the Yanjing garrison, as well as nearly 100,000 other guards in Gyeonggi. There are more than 400,000 people in the square, and many people who cannot enter the square celebrate in the inner city, outer city, and even the twelve small acropolises of Yanjing City. According to the statistics of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, a large number of people began to pour into Yanjing a week ago, and by New Year's Day, in addition to the 400,000 soldiers and civilians who entered the square, more than 500,000 people in the inner city were celebrating on the streets, and the 12 gates and forts in the outer city and the Acropolis combined had more than a million people.

It was a huge celebration, with more than two million soldiers and civilians celebrating throughout Yanjing City, and these days, more than a million people have poured into the center of the Qin domain.

This is a sea of joy, on the upper floor of Chengtianmen City, Li Yi, the king of the superintendent army and state affairs, is standing there, his eyes are full of excitement. Half a step behind him, Li Jingming, the king of Qin who was important in Pingzhang's military affairs, wore a yellow python dragon robe, wearing a crown, and behind him were Li Wei, the king of Zhao and Li Bao, the king of Ji, who were in Pingzhang's military affairs.

Further back, there were important civil and military ministers of the Qin Domain, and several envoys sent by Chang'an, who also stood on the city tower to watch.

Taishi Cui Yunqing, Taifu Zheng Jin, Taiwei Zheng Congyan, Situ Wang Duo, Sikong Yu Cong, Taibao Cui Anqian, Shangzhu Guo Zhang Zimian, Tongping Zhangshi Li Zhuo, and Shizhong Yu Xuan

Those who used to be important ministers of the Li Tang Dynasty now stood behind Li Jing and became a member of this emerging force.

Both sides of the square are already crowded with people, and lights are everywhere.

After Li Jing and the others ascended the city gate tower, the guard of honor that had already been prepared immediately fired a 108-gun salute, and the huge cannon roared over, and the military band played a passionate military music.

After a rousing movement, the square was quiet, and everyone held their breath.

A jujube red horse riding a divine horse galloped along Chang'an Avenue, which was 60 zhang wide and had 16 lanes of eight up and eight down, to the rhythm of drums.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the knight who immediately wore a dazzling golden armor came to the Jinshui Bridge under the Chengtian Gate, took off his helmet, held the helmet in his left hand, and saluted the tower of the city gate with his right hand.

Taking off the helmet, many people have already recognized that this is the eldest disciple of the thirteen disciples of King Qin, Liu Xun, the eldest taibao of the thirteen taibao. The Taibao, Zuo Jin Wuwei General, Zhu Guo, and Liu Xun, the Duke of Guangning County, who was crowned by the Chang'an Imperial Court, was also the commander of the Jiumen Army of the Qin Domain, the commander of the Jinjia Shengjie Army, and the commander of the Wansheng Legion. With a series of dazzling halos on his head, he was actually only twenty-five years old.

"Admiral of Yanjing Jiumen, Commander of the Jinjia Shengjie Army, Commander of the Wansheng Legion, Champion General, Zhu Guo, and Three-star Lieutenant General Liu Xun of the New Year's Day Parade Commander, report to the Generalissimo, the parade ceremony is ready, please instruct!"

Li Jing looked at the majestic Liu Xun with a smile on his face. This kid is showing his face today, wearing a gorgeous set of full-body armor, but he has put on a full set of medals on the shiny breastplate, not only on the left breastplate, but even on the right chest. It can be seen that today he did not hide the real mouth at home, but replaced the imitation and put on the real thing. Just looking at the medals and medals, you can make people look at him with admiration.

Li Jing stepped forward and also saluted.

"The parade begins!"

After finishing speaking, Li Jing next time he went down to the city gatehouse, where his mount, the Xiyuan horse, was a giant sweaty and bloody horse with a golden body and a shoulder height of seven feet. This is a giant among horses, raising his head, his head is eight feet high, his hooves are seven feet high to his shoulders, and his weight is more than 1,500 catties, and this giant horse has to eat 50 catties of hay and 200 catties of corn a day, and drink 200 catties of water a day. Generally, this kind of deformed horse looks tall, but most of them can only be used as a pull, and they can't run fast. But the BMW of this BMW is really able to travel thousands of miles a day. And this horse is very fierce, and even has to eat ten catties of beef every day, not only can ride and fight, but even bite and kick people, it is difficult for ordinary people to get close, let alone ride. The envoys of the Eastern Romans gave this giant horse as a gift to Li Jing, but they were surprised to find that Li Jing actually tamed the giant horse. Li Jing named this horse Land Rover, and became the tallest and most majestic of Li Jing's royal horses.

This time, Li Jing rejected the offer to ride in an open-top carriage during the parade, and instead rode directly on the Land Rover to inspect the troops.

Sure enough, when Li Jing appeared on Chengtianmen Square on this giant war horse taller than most people, the people on both sides of Chang'an Avenue let out a huge exclamation. Changing into a golden armor, wearing a golden crown, wearing a golden sword at the waist, carrying a golden war lance, and a golden Land Rover under his crotch, it is just like the god of war in the sky.

In ancient times, there were Lu Bu in the middle, and the red rabbit in the horse! Today, there is Li Jing in the king, and the Land Rover in the horse!

Escorted by a full 108 of the bravest non-commissioned officers and honored non-commissioned officers, Li Jing began to inspect the soldiers who were ready to go to Chang'an East Street. Chang'an Avenue is eighteen miles long, bounded by Chengtianmen, east is Chang'an East Street, west is Chang'an West Street, the boundary street between the inner city and the royal city is as wide as 60 zhang, and a hundred cavalry can travel side by side.

The one hundred and eight non-commissioned officers who followed Li Jing all changed into shining golden python-style full-body armor today, and all of them wore swords. These one hundred and eight horsemen, all of whom were the most courageous non-commissioned officers in the Battle of Bohai, each of them had medals and major battle medals on their chests, they were all very young, all under the age of thirty, and they were all ordinary civilians and children of good families, and they were awarded medals for their bravery and outstanding performance, and became nobles with the title of knight.

It is a great honor to be the escort of the King of Qin at the military parade, and everyone is one of the elite children in a hundred.

Li Jing rode the Land Rover all the way, galloping forward, constantly saluting the troops waiting for the review.

"The soldiers have worked hard!"

"Hooray!"

The excited soldiers shouted the slogan of Banzai in unison, not caring at all about the fact that this sentence was becoming more and more taboo for the royal family. (To be continued......)
