"My nephew is unfilial, and my nephew has a serious crime! I didn't expect that the evil beast in the family would do such a thing, which really slandered my uncle and ruined the lintel of my family. It was because my nephew was incompetent in educating his children. Please punish him! Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo

When Zhong Daoyu heard this, he had no expression on his face and just closed his eyes and refused to speak.

Zhao Guanghua and Wei Chuan next to them all changed their faces and they all turned into horror.

The visitor was named Zhong Wuming, who was the nephew of Zhong Daoyu and the biological father of Zhong Li.

Although he was from the Wu generation, he was a complete scholar. He studied scriptures and history and did not achieve great success in the end.

However, because he was able to read the text and snippets, his family gave him a small official from the Chengfa House under Ningjiang Mansion, who was responsible for office documents and letters, then registered, distributed them to transfer them, and did some small businesses.

Finally, he married a lady from a local scholarly family and gave birth to a son like Toru Li. He has been smart since childhood and asked his husband to teach him how to study. Although he was arrogant and distant from his classmates, he was indeed talented and finally passed the exam and became an official in Suzhou.

I thought that it had been a success for a lifetime, and Zhong Wuming had always been proud of his son. I didn't expect that at the end of May this year, a friend from Guazhou who was in the official factory would send a letter to inform his son Zhong Li about his rebellion in Suzhou and was captured.

He didn't believe it at the time, but he was worried, so he put down his work, inquired all the way, took a boat south to Guazhou, and finally confirmed it!

Because at that time, the army of King Pingnan passed by Guazhou and swayed across the city, with dozens of prison carts and people watched and cursed. Among them, he saw his son, Zhong Li, who was disheveled and half-dead!

Even though he felt sorry for him, he knew that something was wrong. You should know that his uncle was the general of the dynasty, the great general of the dynasty! The tumult family started to become a family. If his uncle was implicated, something happened to the entire tumult family!

Without time to care about his son, he quickly rented a boat to the north and rushed to find the general's mansion to confess his guilt before the army arrived in Beijing. There was a solution.

Zhao Guanghua and Wei Chuan are both old subordinates, so they naturally think about Tomb Daoyu. Their faces are not good. If others are fine, they will fall into the hands of Li Xingzhou, the King of Pingnan.

You should know that a few months ago, the general had betrayed his faith and planned to plot against King Pingnan. I believe that Li Xingzhou must have held a grudge at this time. How could he not make a big fuss if he had such a handle?

"General, your subordinates go south and go halfway to stop and ask for King Pingnan. King Pingnan is not like a person who is difficult to talk to," said Zhao Guanghua.

Wei Chuan lowered his head, he only knew how to kill people, and asking for help was never his strength, so he did not become an official, but followed the general.

Zhong Daoyu shook his head: "It's time, fate, and things are so far, it's useless to ask others.

This matter is abolished, and I don’t care about it in the future. Since I decided to make a plan, I shouldn’t be lucky now. All kinds of things, every matter, have nothing to do with you. Come to the general’s mansion in the future.”

"General!" Zhao Guanghua was anxious. He was interrupted by Zhong Daoyu just as he was about to say something: "Don't make a fight for intentions, you are still young."

As he said this, he said coldly: "This matter has all been caused by me. It is a grudge between me and Li Xingzhou. Others are not allowed to interfere." He was full of confidence, but he was lamenting in his heart that the matter has reached a high point of being in power and has a handle in hand. It would be a blessing to be less involved.

On the 9th day of the sixth month, the inner court in the palace became busy, making meals and preparing meals, then cleaned up all corners of the palace, and raised yellow flags to the corners of the walls, temporarily removed the ash lanterns during the Queen Mother's mourning, replaced them with festive decorations, and began to trim lush plants and trees everywhere.

The palace maids talked privately, most of them were fifteen or sixteen years old, and when the girl was in her youth, she lived in the deep palace for a long time, not knowing everything in the world. Naturally, they were full of curiosity about the 16-year-old noble prince, the great hero who was respected by others and saved the country.

Today, the army was over triumphal and the emperor issued a special order to hold a triumphal ceremony.

Early in the morning, before the sun climbed to the roof of the Eastern Palace, officials of the Ministry of Rites entered the court early to prepare ritual and sacrifice items, sacrifice (sacrificing cattle and sheep is called sacrifice, and it is divided into sizes). The emperor and the empress were dressed in great costumes, and the prince entered the palace to accompany him.

At the same time, all the officials were wearing purple and red uniforms and holding jade tablets in their hands. Officials in Beijing gathered at the Meridian Gate. Officials outside presented congratulatory forms, sang praises and praised them without saying anything.

Hundreds of officials lined up in ranks and walked out of the Triumph Pavilion ten miles outside the southern gate of Kaiyuan. The team was vast, including celebrities and famous people who volunteered to join the fun. For example, the empress dowager named Mourning the Queen Mother, but in the house arrest, many emperor brothers and descendants in the palace won the victory in the south, and they were free and extremely happy.

Kaiyuan Mansion sent people to clean the streets early in the morning to sprinkle water to prevent dust.

The people were happy, holding flower baskets, fragrant rice, and wine in their hands waiting.

The pictures of those who wear green cuffs with flowers and birds, those who wear red cuffs with mountain beasts, and those who wear purple cuffs with auspicious clouds with auspicious cuffs with auspicious clouds on their cuffs, are neatly arranged, leaving the south gate during the people's farewell.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites were different, but instead took a car and sedan chair, left from the west gate, followed the sages, sacrificed to the shrines and temples in the suburbs of the city, worshiped all the gods, visited the tombs, and returned to the palace at noon to report to the emperor.

In the palace, the emperor and the queen were dressed in a grand dress, waiting in the Changchun Hall.

Kaiyuan City, which had been silent for a long time, is turning up and down today.

People just need an opportunity. As Confucius said, ghosts and gods should worship what should be worshipped, but don’t take it seriously. Yes, what people need is an opportunity to make people unite and interact. As for ghosts and gods sacrifices, various rituals, it is just an excuse to see through and not say it out loud, and it is also indispensable for people.

In fact, two days ago, Li Xingzhou's army had arrived at the nearest station to Kyoto, about twenty miles away from Kaiyuan City. However, when the Ministry of Rites came to the Ministry of Rites, he said that the time was wrong, and the ritual officer who was divining and fortune-telling determined that it was a good luck on the ninth day of the sixth month, so they were asked to wait for two days and choose an auspicious day to enter the capital.

Moreover, only a thousand people were allowed to be reviewed by the emperor. Li Xingzhou couldn't help but sigh, even at this time, the emperor was still cautious.

After thinking about it, he took Shenji Camp into the city. The remaining 70,000 people have been driven back to the imperial guard camp to receive rewards.

They waited in the inn to enter the city.

The officials at this inn were also serving him in fear and fear. The place was small, but they were all big people and could not be neglected.

After Li Xingzhou occasionally said it a few days ago, Yan Shen was particularly concerned about the matter of the prince.

"Criminal, do you think the Prince of Triumph will be bad this time?" The corridor on the second floor is facing a small fish pond, which is only a few feet in radius. It raises carp and grass carp and can also drink horses. This post official can live and is very careful in his calculations.

Li Xingzhou was fishing here for two days. The inn officials were so distressed that they were almost crying. How could they fish in the pond that they kept at home?

After hearing Yan Shen's question, Li Xingzhou stretched lazily: "Probably not. If he did something bad, it would be better. If he was calm and happy, the emperor would value him more."

"Why? The prince made great contributions, he should be nervous." Yan Shen was puzzled. He thought the problem was naturally simple. The more nervous the prince was, the more fulfilled he felt. After all, they were against the prince.

Li Xingzhou caught fishing all morning, but the fish didn't take the bait. He was so angry that he wanted to scold people, "See whether the prince is smart or not, it is like the Qin Emperor and Han Wu. His martial arts were spread again and again in later generations, and they said again and again, but which battles were fought by themselves?

If the prince figured it out and had a gap in his heart, he would understand that no matter how powerful I was in the war, he would still fight for him in the end, because he would be the future monarch.

As the supreme, his subordinates won a victory and stabilized his country. Of course, he should be happy. If he congratulates me tonight and toast three more good wine, he will be famous in history in the future. I will pretend to be a grandson and talk to him with a smile."

Li Xingzhou was also very upset after saying this, but there was nothing he could do because he was the prince.

"Ah" Yan Shen suddenly became ruthless.

Li Xingzhou smiled and said, "I'm happy. I don't think about the prince's prince. We won the battle. Today, we just need to eat, drink and have fun. We don't spend our money."

Qiu'er had been picked up by the carriage of the royal palace, and he was very eager to return. He wanted to go back to see the poem and meet Jiao and Yue'er, and hold it in his arms and rub it hard. However, Yan Bian, who came, persuaded him to say that it was not in accordance with the etiquette and law, and he should see the emperor first.

Li Xingzhou was dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do. The more he was, the more he had to be careful in his words and actions.

At noon, the Ministry of Rites came quickly and said that they were invited to return to Beijing. More than a thousand soldiers of the Shenji Camp camp camped on the spot were ready to wear clothes, put on exquisite light armor, carried knives on their waists, and carried guns on their shoulders. They were proud and proud, entering Beijing in a posture that people had never seen before.

The army was waving flags, and Li Xingzhou was wearing the mountain armor left by King Xiao, but because the weather was hot, he only wore the outer armor. If he had worn it all, he would probably be able to steam it.

The army was not only the soldiers of Shenji Camp, but also the auxiliary army was responsible for escorting war criminals and spoiling war criminals.

Several war criminals of the Ding family, such as Ding Yi, the old lady of the Ding family, and a few uncles and nephews, had a total of more than a dozen people. As for the backbone of the Su family, they were killed by the Ding family.

These are war criminals and need to be dedicated to the emperor to strengthen the country's prestige.

This kind of ceremony will be held throughout the ages, and it is even more common in the Han and Tang dynasties in China.

Not to mention the total number, just like Su Dingfang of the Tang Dynasty, he defeated the Eastern Turks, destroyed the Western Turks, sank the Pagoda Rebellion, stole the Baekje, attacked Goguryeo, and destroyed the Tubo. He captured his master alive and sent him to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to admit his mistakes, but if he admits his mistakes, the country still disappeared. He has never been able to open the territory of the Tang Dynasty westward to the Aral Sea of ​​Central Asia, and the border directly to Persia, and to the east to the southern part of the Korean Peninsula.

Su Dingfang was a top figure among the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, but he was just a microcosm of the powerful dynasty. Although Li Xingzhou's achievements looked great, compared with the famous generals of history, he suddenly became a tiny figure and could not become proud of him.

The Jing Dynasty was not as strong as the strongest Han and Tang dynasties, even if they were far away, they would be punished. If they were moved, they would destroy the country and capture the king of the country in the capital to visit.

Li Xingzhou's victory was a great victory for Jingguo.

In addition to war criminals, of course, there were spoils, seized fine armor, swords, guns, horses, Ding family and a large number of gold, silver and treasures found in the Ansu Mansion treasury were all packed in large quantities. These were all escorted by auxiliary soldiers and displayed to the emperor and the people.

What surprised Li Xingzhou the most was that Ansu Mansion was not big, but the total number of good horses seized was more than 4,000. These were all spoils. You should know that since Jingguo lost the place where he raised horses, there have always been few good horses. Ding Yi was able to get so many horses with purpose and vision. Unfortunately, he faced the firearm, otherwise the outcome would be unknown.

Riding on Meixue and walking in front, Li Xingzhou, who was far away, saw the flags and the pavilion set up, and knew that all the officials came out to welcome him into the city.

Li Xingzhou had a fierce ideological struggle, sighed, and finally turned around and ordered: "Go to two people, take Zhongli away, take him back to the inn to stay for two days, and then send him to the Censorate in two days. He told the official that you eat and drink, plus his fish, all of them will be recorded in the account of the Prince Xiao's Mansion."

The two of them took the order and went happily.

In the end, he still didn't become a cold-blooded and ruthless person.

If Zhong Li was mixed with war criminals and pulled into the capital, the emperor would see that Zhong Daoyu would be finished. Not to mention the serious crime, at least the Privy Councilor could not sit still.

But I also thought that he had fought all his life and made great contributions to protecting Jingguo, so this should not have ended up like this.

Besides, he has not had a few years to live, Li Xingzhou joked about himself. When did he become a slaughter of an old man? Perhaps he has seen too many dead people. It is so easy to die when he sees people, so he understands the difficulty of living people.

Outside the city, various flags were flying, the official road was more than two meters wide, and there were people on both sides of the happy and eager-looking people. When they saw the army coming, they immediately ran around and told each other, shouting that King Pingnan was very powerful and deafening.

At the Triumph Pavilion on the side of the road, hundreds of people were waiting for it, and the majestic ceremonial battles were set up. The so-called ceremonial battles were composed of people wearing red clothes, holding five-Ming Fans in their hands, and Fang Tian Painting Ji.

According to the Jing Dynasty etiquette system, the emperor has eight fans, six fans of the king's lord, four fans of purple clothes, and two fans of red clothes. So today, the guard of honor for Li Xingzhou, the Pingnan Prince, was a beautiful woman holding a square sky painting halberd and wearing a golden earring on her head, and then a six-person red dress boy, holding three pairs of five-Ming Fans.

In the pavilion, Wen was headed by Duke De who had not seen for a long time, and Wu was headed by Daoyu, who was already waiting there.

The pavilion is called the Triumphal Pavilion, which is located ten miles outside the south gate. Li Xingzhou ordered the marching to stop. In the eyes of thousands of people, he got off the horse. The pavilion was ready. The officials there were looking forward to it. When they approached slightly, many enthusiastic eyes gathered on him.

Hundreds of officials bowed together, "Congratulations to King Pingnan for his triumphant success!"

These hundreds of people, some familiar faces, were almost the entire court. For a moment, he was also a little impressed, and a generous aura arose in his heart, until Degong presented him with a bowl of triumphal wine: "Welcome Triumphant!"

Li Xingzhou picked up the jade bowl and drank it in one gulp! He was almost choked to death

The officials laughed, and De Gongban's old face, who had been doing a long time, couldn't help but twitch: "You are careless boy, this is your wine, how can you drink it like this?"

Li Xingzhou coughed for a long time, "Hahaha, I've been away from home for a long time, so how could I remember that De Gong didn't remind me."

"Hmph, you still know you've been away from home for a long time!" De Gong's voice trembled as if he wanted to educate him something, but when he looked behind him, his eyes were hot and his face was filled with joy, he probably remembered that this was Ying Kaixuanyi, and finally patted his shoulder and said, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!"

After hearing this sentence from Degong, it would be great if Li Xingzhou felt like he had been in another world.

Bai Zuo was in the welcoming ceremony, with gongs and drums and firecrackers ringing. Under the attention of everyone, the ceremonial guards are heading forward, and the army enters the city!

The people in the city ran around and told each other, greeted each other in the street, and looked at the legendary Shenjiying style, which could exceed 100,000 for a thousand people, and the entire Kaiyuan City was very lively.

It is said that the spring breeze is so proud that the horse's hooves are fast, and the eyebrows and snow seem to be human. Although they are dissatisfied with the big red silk flowers hanging on their chests, they are indeed much lighter.

Looking at the crowded heads and the people with hot eyes shouted his name and shouted the name of Pingnan'an. For a moment, Li Xingzhou actually felt a kind of satisfaction that he had never experienced before.

In the afternoon, they walked across the street and knew that in front of the Meridian Gate of the Imperial City, they showed the prisoners of war, thousands of war horses and spoils to the emperor one by one. After the emperor was very happy, the queen poured wine and drank with the King of Pingnan in person, and the officials were having fun. Although the emperor still had few expressions on his face, he could see that he was very happy.

After the emperor was surprised to inspect Shenji Camp, he said a few words of encouragement, and then ordered people to hold a banquet within the Meridian Gate to entertain thousands of soldiers.

Then he took Li Xingzhou to worship the ancestors of heaven and earth, and detailed the contributions to the war from then on, and asked the historians who followed him to record them without missing a word. After finishing all this, it was already afternoon, and the sky was dark and the palace celebration banquet was ready.

As a result, all officials and ministers, many royal children in Beijing were invited to the banquet and everyone was having fun together.
Chapter completed!
