Chapter 311

"Pass the order of the state of Dazhu. No one shall leave the barracks except the sergeant on duty. Those who violate the order shall be beheaded!"

"According to the order of the state of Dazhu, no one is allowed to leave the barracks except the sergeant on duty. Those who violate the order will be beheaded!..."

A messenger knight, holding the flag of Dazhu state, kept shouting orders and galloped past the camp of the forbidden army in the left Hall

In the main general's tent, there are more than a dozen school captains. The highest grade is Lei Qi general He Xiong.

The forbidden army is responsible for guarding the imperial city. There are people responsible for the total value guard every day. The generals of the four halls take turns. Today, the total value guard of the forbidden army is He Xiong!

The following captains whispered about something, and He Xiong didn't stop it.

At this time, a soldier hurried in. After kneeling down to He Xiong, he approached him directly and said a few words to his ear.

"I see. Go down!"

After the soldier saluted and retired, He Xiong was silent for a moment, slowly stood up and said in a deep voice, "well, don't discuss it!"

The following moment was quiet, while everyone stood up. Listen to He Xiong continued: "up to now, don't think too much. Since all kinds of changes in arrangements are beneficial to us, what we have to do is to seize the opportunity!"

All school captains should be!

"Do you have any questions there?"

"Don't worry, general. Now you just need your order!"

"Yes, general, the brothers are ready!"

"Well, you all go back and get ready and wait for orders at any time! Captain Han, you also stay!"

Ten brigades in one hall, six brigades in the camp and a-word brigades in the Xiefang university are all He Xiong's direct lineages. He also wondered why Pei Yuanzhao arranged this, but this arrangement was most in line with his heart!

Han Qi, who is in his twenties, has a fierce and frivolous look in his eyebrows. He has made many military achievements in Zhangzhou. He is known as a fierce general. He is appreciated and valued by Zhao Qianyi and accepted as an adopted son. He transferred him from the Zhangzhou army to the forbidden army. After several operations, he became a strong army captain in the hands of He Xiong.

"General, what's your advice?"

"Han Xiaowei, I can't give advice. Just tell you first. I'll leave you the greatest opportunity to make meritorious service. You should take good advantage of it!"

"General Xie!" Han Qi thanked He Xiong for his kindness!

"No thanks. In addition, I want to ask you some questions."

Han Xiaowei didn't panic and said, "excuse me, general!"

"You and I have been together for a long time, so he doesn't hide!"

"The general's care for me will never be forgotten. The general just asks, and I know everything!"

”Well, your relationship with the Lord is naturally closer than mine. I just want to know what the Lord thinks of He Mou. "

"My adoptive father said that if anything happens in Beijing, we must rely on general he's forbidden army. Without general he's assistance, it's wishful thinking to achieve great things in Beijing!"

"Ha ha, He Mou is really ashamed to let the Lord attach so much importance to him! The Lord should have taken care of some arrangements afterwards. I want to know..."

"My adoptive father once said, general, you can't run away as a general of the four expeditions!"

"That Guo Wu..."

"How can he be compared with you!"

……

The lobby of the Ministry of justice.

Not only were all the chief and Deputy camp officials of the eight criminal arrest camps present, but a group of criminal arrest elderly people who were regarded as cards also stood in line, and even you laochuan of the criminal arrest Yamen in Kyoto was called!

It is reasonable to say that the security of Kyoto today is almost controlled by the forbidden army. The criminal arrest camp has no heavy task. Even in order not to arouse the sensitivity of the forbidden army, they have to reduce the scope of activities and the number of inspectors!

There are 150000 troops guarding the Forbidden City in Kyoto. Apart from the cavalry responsible for guarding the periphery of the city and the recruitment of people and horses in the southwest, there are 60000 elite infantry guarding the Forbidden City! In addition, today, some soldiers ride into the city to participate in patrol and alert. In contrast, the eight criminal arrest camps subordinate to the Ministry of justice have less than 2000 people. Compared with their strength, they are just a foil and ornament!

But at this time, these people are well dressed and silent, which is obviously the rhythm of preparing to perform big tasks!

After Cao Yi looked around for a week, Lang said: "the prosperous world of the Tang Empire must have strict laws and disciplines. As a criminal arrest of the Tang Dynasty, can you be slow to defend the dignity of the court, arrest bandits and protect the people?"

Everyone kneels on one knee and should be in unison!

"None!"

"Is there any desire?"

"None!"

"Are there people who are afraid of war?"

"None!"

Whenever I think about this paragraph, when the Ministry of Dharma was first established, the monarchs and ministers answered each other, which made the people present excited! At the beginning, Zhang Zhou was moved by the scene. Don't do it!

The origins of these people are more complicated and Jianghu like, and their performance in safeguarding law and discipline is also more enthusiastic!

"Everyone, please get up!"

After everyone got up and stood up, Cao Yi continued: "although today is your Majesty's birthday, it does not affect us to uphold the legal principle and catch bandits and thieves! Moreover, I can clearly tell you that the target of today's arrest is not Jianghu bandits, but real thieves of the country. Do you have confidence?"

"Yes!"

The voice of answer, neat and loud!

"Liu Manzhou! Zhu Quan!"

"Humble position!" "humble position!"

"Lead the black tiger camp and white tiger camp to Xiaohong village in the east of the city. Surround all the exits first. Whether you want to enter or think of it, catch them all, wait for orders, and then enter and catch people. No one is allowed to miss the net!"

"Command!" "command!"

……

"You laochuan!"

"Humble position!"

"You help some criminal arrest experts to go to six car stores such as Dahang to arrest. Life or death, no one is allowed to miss the net!"

"Take orders!"

……

"Yue Ting!"

"Humble position"

"You take the White Wolf camp and follow me to the South general's house!"

"Take orders!"

……

After a series of arrangements, only Cao Yi and Yue Ting were left in the hall.

"My Lord, you have a wound in your leg and can't move easily. You'd better stay in the Ministry Yamen. I'll take my brothers!"

"It's the most important thing to levy the west general's house. I'm always worried if I don't go in person!" Cao Yi smiled at Yue ting.

……

Many shrewd and keen people found at the first time that there were no prince Zhao Qiying and Princess Zhao Qixuan behind the emperor and queen. This situation on this occasion will inevitably trigger people's conjectures. There was a trace of whispering noise in the originally quiet crowd, and it became more and more intense.

Zheng Youliang soon found this phenomenon. He couldn't speak out and scold the crowd behavior, but there were other ways. He quickly directed the musicians to start music. Sure enough, with the magnificent vocal music, the crowd quickly returned to quiet.

Zhao Qianyuan didn't seem to care about this. He led the queen and calmly followed the ceremony officials who led the way to the sacrificial platform in the center of the square.

Sacrificial rites pay attention to many rules, and Zhao Qianyuan is very pious about it. Naturally, people who do things dare not be careless at all, and every detail is carried out in strict accordance with the steps.

The heavy snow has stopped, and the process has also proceeded to the stage of eight "great gods" praying for blessings. This link is not complicated. The eight "great gods" each keep one side, exert their magic power, pray to the heaven for the gods to appear on behalf of the people of the eight sides, and then they will come to the emperor one by one on behalf of one side of the gods, and have a dialogue with the emperor to express the communication between the gods and the son of heaven, There are also warnings!

As for the way of praying for God, it is difficult to see the doorway in the eyes of outsiders. There is almost no routine of twisting and jumping around. No one can see why. However, no one will criticize whether this thing has beauty. On the contrary, each one seems particularly serious, respectful and pious.

Zheng Youliang's heart soon put down. The eight "great gods" are all in strange clothes, wearing all kinds of masks and dancing one by one. He can't see which is the substitute, let alone others? I have to admit that the acting talent and stage courage of the substitute "actor" are still very powerful! As for the following questions and answers, he was not worried. They were the simplest questions and answers!

"Does the son of heaven know that the people are suffering?"

"I act on behalf of heaven and benefit the people. I dare not forget the hardships of the people!"

"The empire is vast, and the son of heaven should cherish an inch of land like gold!"

"Dare not forget the achievements of our ancestors. Every inch of land is skin!"

……

However, when it was the fifth great God who was about to appear and answer with his majesty, Zhao Qianyuan suddenly raised his hand. Hong Xi didn't understand what was going on. Bai Qi stood up and shouted, "stop!"

This call was very unexpected. Zheng Youliang was pushed by his deputy before he reacted. He quickly ordered the musicians to stop. The scene was very quiet. No one knew why the emperor suddenly stopped the sacrifice. The answer was right!

Everyone didn't know why. Seeing Bai Qi's low voice guidance from Zhao Qianyuan, he stepped forward again and shouted to everyone, "the Holy Spirit has an intention. The sacrificial dialogue is over, and the ritual department will arrange the next item!"

Before Zheng Youliang could say yes, Prime Minister Zhuge Wenshan took the lead in standing up!

"Your Majesty, the old minister has something to say!"

Bai Qi looked back at Zhao Qianyuan. Seeing that Zhao Qianyuan nodded, he turned and replied.

"Prime minister, what can I say?"

"The sacrificial dialogue is to prove the harmony between heaven and earth. How can it be terminated at will? I hope your majesty will be careful!"

Zhao Qianyuan looked calm, called Bai Qi back and whispered a few words.

After Bai Qi returned, Lang said, "where is the prime minister?"

Zhuge Wenshan was slightly stunned, but he bowed slightly and replied.

"I'm here!"

"Your Majesty said that the sacrificial dialogue will be suspended for the time being. Now I will ask the prime minister on behalf of your majesty!"

"The minister leads the order!"

"Your Majesty asked the prime minister, if the ministers are not ministers, can you pray for heaven to sin?"

"If everything depends on God's will, what is the use of the law!"

"If according to the law, what crime should a minister commit if he is not a minister?"

"If a minister is not a minister, it is tantamount to conspiracy, and his crime should be punished!"

"Can it be exempted due to high position and weight?"

"No, the son of heaven breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people!"

Just after Bai Qi asked and wanted to step back, Zhuge Wenshan suddenly said, "I don't know one thing. Can I ask your majesty?"

Zhao Qianyuan's expression was still calm, motioned Bai Qi to step down, and then came out by himself.

"Ask the prime minister!"

"Can we not investigate the great crime against heaven for a long time?"

"It may be forgotten, but there is no relief. It is indeed guilty, and it is also punished by the descendants of the sect!"

The civil and military officials have heard many differences in this dialogue, and the atmosphere can't help getting nervous. Just as Zhuge Wenshan was going to continue to speak, Lu Daiwen spoke.

"ZHUGE Wenshan, what do you mean by asking your majesty these questions?"

Zhuge Wenshan looked at the assistant butcher.

"If your majesty is puzzled, you can ask the minister. If the minister is puzzled, can't you ask your majesty?"

"This is not a court hall, but an imperial temple, a place of sacrifice..."

"The imperial temple is dedicated to the emperors of the Tang Dynasty. It's a place for gods to learn from. I think it's a good place to open the skylight and tell the truth!"

"Tell the truth? Zhuge Wenshan, don't flaunt yourself as a sage. I think you are disrespectful to your majesty and to the emperors of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Assistant prime minister, I don't think there is anything wrong with the prime minister. Your majesty interrupted the sacrifice without authorization. It's already wrong. The prime minister is for the country and the people. It's an example of loyal ministers to point out his Majesty's wrongdoing! Moreover, your majesty can ask his officials at the time of sacrifice, and of course they can also ask your majesty!"

The person who came out to speak was Yonglu, a general of the southern expedition, who could be called an example of a vegetarian meal.

The old general with snow-white hair usually goes to court. However, it's not surprising that he can be present today when the emperor celebrates his birthday, but it's absolutely different to say such words at this time!

"General Yonglu, I'd like to know where you got your courage today?" Lu Fengqiao also made a speech, aiming at Yonglu.

"Hehe, I'm all from the military. I just despise to have a general knowledge with those who argue about right and wrong these years!" Yonglu looked at Lu Fengqiao's exposure with ease.

Zhao Qianyuan ignored Yonglu, but continued to look at Zhuge Wenshan.

"Prime minister, can you express your meaning more thoroughly!"

"Your Majesty, do you remember eighteen years ago?"

"Of course!"

"That's right. Looking back, eighteen years is just a moment! Your majesty just said: there may be a great crime against heaven, but there may be forgetting, but there is no relief! Then, I have a case here, which has been released for eighteen years. I wonder if your majesty can help make a decision on this case in front of important civil and military officials!"

Anyone who knows something about the past of the Empire seems to understand what Zhuge Wenshan's case is, and their faces suddenly change!

"Eighteen years ago? What kind of case? Can the prime minister say it and let everyone listen?" Han Shu, the main hall of the Ministry of work, also stood up!

"Minister, seconded!" seven or eight important ministers stood up again.

Wang Songhe, the right attendant of the Ministry of work, also jumped out, but instead of seconding it, he pointed angrily at the people.

"Are you, are you trying to rebel?"

"Lord Wang, you can't talk nonsense. We just want to give Datang a truth!"

The speaker suddenly appeared behind Wang Songhe and startled Wang Songhe.

If those "dissidents" just now are civil servants, plus a general who has no military power to invade the south, it just makes people uneasy. Now, Yuqi General Guo Wu, one of the eight cavalry generals, has also stood up. The significance is very different. He is the real power general of the palm forbidden army!
