0322 Great Oath Three Armies
In mid-April, the Jingkou Travel Platform, which had been prepared for a long time, was finally officially established.
In the early morning, a group of important officials led by Yu Yi, Chen Chong and others walked to the palace located in Xianshan Manor, and then kowtowed and invited the Empress Dowager to set up a suburb of altars to worship the heavens and ancestors, rewarded the three armies, and agreed to fight against rebellion.
Shen Zhezi is also in a relatively high position in the team. He is now a fake festival supervisor, wearing light armor, and behind him are several sword armored soldiers. His aura is even more powerful than the father in the front row.
Not far behind Shen Zhezi, he was an envoy from Jingzhou. Although the envoy from Jingzhou was late, the number of personnel was the largest, including Tao Kan's two sons and grandsons and several generals from Jingzhou, which was considered to be a sincere attitude.
Behind Shen Zhezi's Banjian was Tao Xia, Tao Kan's son, who was awarded the fifth-class marquis for his father's merits. He was the most famous among Tao Kan's sons, except Tao Zhan, who died in battle earlier. However, at this time, Tao Xia looked at Shen Zhezi's back with a lot of bad eyes, and whispered to the left and right entourage: "Boy He Xun? Banjian is standing, how dare you stay before me!"
When the people around him heard this, their faces changed, and they waved their hands to stop them, "Silang is careful..."
Tao Xia snorted coldly and stopped talking, but her face was still a little gloomy.
At this time, in the palace, the Empress Dowager was dressed up and was sitting waiting for the ministers to come and ask for help. Suddenly she seemed to think of something, looked around for a moment, and then asked, "Where is the King of Langya?"
Several female officials who were temporarily recharged from the family of Taiwanese ministers were stunned when they heard this. They walked out of the hall for a while before hurried back and reported: "Yesterday, Princess Danyang invited the King of Langya to watch the elegant opera, but she has not returned yet."
"My wife loves her younger brother, but today is different from the past. How can you abandon your business because of playing games? Go and invite the King of Langya and set out for the suburbs with me later."
The Empress Dowager smiled and then ordered the female official to say.
The two female officials received the order and withdrew. After half a quarter of an hour, they hurried back, but they did not bring the King of Langya, only Princess Xingnan accompanied him.
"Xingnan, why haven't your brother come yet? If it's too late, you'll have to miss the auspicious time."
The Empress Dowager looked at the sky and found anxiety on her face. She had already spread the word. The ministers had already entered the palace and would arrive soon.
"Mother, Ah Yu had a great time last night and hasn't gotten up yet. Today, on the day of the ritual, he went there at such a young age and had to suffer criticism. Why not stay in the garden if he made a mistake? Don't worry, I will take good care of my second brother."
Princess Xingnan stepped forward to salute and then replied.
The Empress Dowager was a little displeased when she heard this: "Ah, he has always been calm and steady, compared to..."
"Ahem... Please step down for a moment. I have some private words to say to my mother."
Princess Xing coughed twice, waved her hand and turned her back to the left and right people, leaving only two trustworthy female historians. Then she said to the Empress Dowager seriously: "Mother, the emperor is already walking on the extreme, no longer the object in her arms, how can she compare with others like this!"
After receiving the reminder, the Empress Dowager felt a little upset and couldn't help but feel a little upset. When she saw her daughter's slightly angry eyes, she felt a little embarrassed: "I have been thinking too much recently, and I was negligent for a moment. Fortunately, I remind you. But Ah, he has always known the courtesy and calmness, so that I can relieve my worries. You don't have to worry about him being rude in front of others. After praying to heaven and ancestors today, I still have to have a feast for the three armies. After all, my mother is a woman. My family always has a man to be present to be kind to the inside and outside."
Princess Xingnan couldn't help but sigh and stepped forward and said, "Mother, why are you doing this? Although Ah, he has been awarded a title, has not been in the marriage service yet. What status do you want him to follow you?"
"He is the emperor's legitimate brother and the legitimate son of the late emperor. Now that the emperor is still in the capital, why not do it for him to do it?"
After being questioned by his daughter one after another, the Empress Dowager's face became a little stiff.
After hearing this, Princess Xingnan said, "This time I founded Xingtai, I was originally intended to send an imperial edict to defend the king against rebellion. Mother, you bring Ah Yu to the venue to attend the sacrifice. What will others think? No matter how far, the emperor was absent, he was about to torture the ministers if he had fulfilled his rituals. How could such a thing be done on his behalf? Now there are still several uncles outside, and my Ah Yu and husband. Mother, you bring Ah Yu out, how can you let Ah Yu be with him? How can those outsiders deal with him? Should they want to seek rebellion or support him in the future?"
"Xingnan, you are becoming more and more presumptuous!"
The Empress Dowager's face darkened and her tone completely cooled down, but Princess Xingnan's words shocked her heart. She asked the King of Langya to accompany her, which was indeed an ordinary woman's idea. Since the eldest son was not here, what's wrong with the second son working on his behalf?
Seeing that the mother was angry, Princess Xingnan felt that her attitude was a little inappropriate, and knelt down and whispered: "I was anxious to hit the mother, and I hope the mother would forgive me. But today's suburb festival, Ah Yu could not accompany her. Please think twice! "
The Empress Dowager was silent after hearing this, and her face changed. She had heard the advice of Princess Xingnan, and felt that her thoughts were too naive and did not consider what kind of message this action would convey to others. She was upset in her heart, but she was more sad and mourned by her miserable life experience. When the late emperor was in the early years, she had to live in the garden to raise her children. After the late emperor passed away, her elder brother took care of internal and external affairs.
Now, everything she relies on has fallen, and she realizes the difficulties of the world and the sinisterness of human hearts. It is just such a small thought that contains many considerations in it to make a decision, which makes her feel exhausted.
As she thought about it, tears had already fallen from the corner of the Empress Dowager's eyes. She was just a woman who was respectful. This disturbing trend was too heavy for her and it was difficult to take responsibility! Her understanding of the times was not as profound as that of her daughter.
After a long silence, the Empress Dowager said, "Xing Nan, Mother..."
At this moment, there was a loud rumbling sound outside the door, and then the sound of ministers shouting and kowtowing were heard.
"My mother, don't think too much. You can't trust others, you should trust your daughter. I firmly believe in the words of my husband. I will be able to wipe out the rebellion and recover the capital in the future!"
Princess Xingnan bowed deeply, then quickly retreated and left the hall through the side door.
The Empress Dowager took a deep breath and cheered up. After she arrived outside the door, she rose up and slowly walked out of the hall surrounded by the female officials who had entered the hall. Then, under the support of Yu Yi and others, she climbed onto the chariot.
Seeing that there was no figure of Langya King beside the Empress Dowager, Shen Zhezi breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that the wife from home was still safe to do things. The attitude that the Empress Dowager inadvertently revealed earlier made him wary.
Shen Zhezi also had much experience of how slow his mother-in-law was about political signals. If the King of Langya appeared today, in the eyes of those who were interested, it would be like the Empress Dowager who agreed or implied that the King of Langya could be the successor of the country. There were many people who would be tempted, such as his father, who served the king to save the emperor, or supported the new king. Once two choices were placed in front of him, they would be very different when they were implemented in action.
After receiving the Empress Dowager, the crowd walked to the southern suburbs of Jingkou. A high altar had been built with earth and stone here. The ministers knelt down at the altar, and Yu Yi walked on the stage and walked forward and the Empress Dowager stood in front of the stage and chanted loudly.
After praying to heaven, worshiping ancestors, and the ancestors of the Sima family opened their eyes. They moved from Luoyang to Chang'an, went to Jiankang in Chang'an, and now they showed up in Jingkou again, with rich experience.
After this long etiquette, Shen Zhezi also knelt sorely that his waist and knees were sore. When the drum sounded under the altar, he left the field with other commanders.
After the three-way drum sounded, all the ministers had moved to the watchtower under the altar to sit down, and the next one was the army entering the venue. The first one to enter was the Nanxu army, which is now under the jurisdiction of Xingtai. The components of this army were relatively complicated. In addition to the local recruitment of the Huaibei Army and Jingkou, there were also Wuzhong families who helped get it together. Earlier refugees such as Xu Mao were now assigned to this army. Yu Yi is now serving as a supervisor in the army, but he is not allowed to have a holiday.
The infantry and cavalry soldiers slowly walked past the altar, kowtowed to the mountain and shouted, and then slowly retreated to the right to form a formation. Next was the Dongyangzhou army, which Shen Zhezi temporarily supervised. The luxurious army attracted everyone's attention as soon as it appeared. There were many people in the stands shouting, "What a magnificent Wu Zhonger Lang!"
After all the troops of all sides were lined up, Yu Yi took the stage again. He recited the proclamation of rebellion loudly in the face of the troops, and punished the white horse and sweared to the three armies. After the proclamation, the military music sounded, and I got out of my carriage and came to the shepherd. From the emperor, I said I had come.
After the sonorous drum beats, heroic admiration, and several military music, the whole ceremony was coming to an end. Shen Zhezi and other generals who were led by the ritual were guided to come to power and accept formal appointments.
The governor of Jingzhou Tao Kanjin was named General of the Western Army, and was appointed as the commander of the commander of the king's army and commanded the rebellion. The governor of Jiangzhou Wen Qiao was appointed as General of the Cavalry, and was appointed as General of the Cavalry, and was appointed as General of the Three Divisions. The general of the central army, Wang Shujin, was appointed as General of Wei, and was appointed as General of Wei, and was appointed as General of Wei. The governor of Xuzhou Xi Jian and the governor of Dongyangzhou Shen Chong were also the same.
Then the chiefs of other prefectures and counties were appointed as ministers or Sanqi. For example, the more important counties such as Wuxing, Yixing, Jinling, and Xiangcheng were also in charge of the military command. Then, after a scepter was sent down, he felt quite boring when Shen Zhezi went to take him to take this holiday festival again.
However, in the eyes of others, they couldn't help but feel a little jealous. Leading the army at the age of fifteen was an unprecedented favor in the dynasty. In addition to the mortal festival, the political treatment that Shen Zhezi should have was finally given, the son-in-law and the prefect of Xingdan. Although it was only two thousand stones, it could already be called a member of two thousand stones.
In fact, the Empress Dowager originally planned to add another fourth-class general, but Shen Zhezi also knew how eye-catching he was now, and he would still be able to push. Otherwise, if he had a melee on the battlefield in Japan, he might have to be careful of the cold arrows behind him.
Even so, when Shen Zhezi got the title, he felt a lot of cold eyes projecting towards him, such as Wang Yunzhi who represented his father, Tao Kan's two sons, etc.
Wang Yunzhi had resentment towards him, and Shen Zhezi could understand it. However, when Tao Kan's two sons were disliked by him, Shen Zhezi couldn't understand it. However, when he thought about how great Tao Kan's sons were, he felt relieved. He thought in his heart that he would meet Tao Hong, who was coming with him later, and asked them why they came so late. 8)
