- Chapter 266: King Ming of Sui Dynasty
On the side of the dianjiang platform facing the square, standing closest to the dianjiang platform are two rows of golden melon warriors. They are all tall and tall people selected from the Forbidden Army. They are actually guards of honor. However, because these people had to defend the emperor at close range, their martial arts were also very good.
Outside the Golden Melon Warrior, there is a row of masters from the Ouchi Guards wearing flying fish robes.
The 500 elite Imperial Guards who traveled with the emperor stood on both sides of the general platform. As for Fang Jie and the others, they could move around freely because they were wearing the uniforms of the Forbidden Army captains, but of course they couldn't wander in front of the emperor and courtiers. They can patrol back and forth, but they must not leave the Dianjiangtai too far.
And the eight masters who were standing on the four corners of the emperor's chariot were now on the general stage. Fang Jie looked specifically at the eight people. Although they were wearing flying fish robes, they all had brocade handkerchiefs covering their mouths and noses, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. The distance was not very close, so Fang Jie couldn't even tell their ages.
When Fang hated the water, Fang Jie still remembered Meng Wudi¡¯s words very clearly. He said that the Ouchi Guards Department was now in dire straits, and all the guard duties for this ceremony were excluded. Meng Wudi's tone at that time was full of desolation, and the sadness could only be understood. Today, it seems that Meng Wudi's words are true The flying fish robes of the Ouchi Guards are on the outermost part of the emperor's guard, and they are even used as a guard of honor when traveling.
And the eight masters on the stage were obviously not from the Ouchi Guards Department.
The once-famous Ouchi Guards Department has fallen to this level. Thinking about it, it has only happened in the past few months. Hou Wenji's rebellion was the trigger for the Ouchi Guards Department to be abandoned by the emperor. So. Fang Jie could guess that the once frightening love affair was now in pieces.
Today, on such an important occasion, Fang Jie didn't even see Luo Weiran's shadow. This fully shows that the status of the Ouchi Guards Department has plummeted.
There is no hundred days of red the world is cold.
Fang Jie withdrew his thoughts and turned his sight to the mighty Zuo Wuwei army in the distance. It was one of the most elite armies of the Sui Dynasty, one of the six armies of the Emperor that guarded Chang'an City. This army would soon go to the northwest, but with this army, no matter how elite it was, how could it turn the tide?
He is looking at many things in his eyes and thinking about many things in his mind. Since the emperor asked General Zuo Wuwei Yu Manlou to go on an expedition, he must have trusted this man. And Yu Manlou led his troops to be inspected by the emperor today. With tens of thousands of elites present, how could Prince Yi succeed if he wanted to rebel?
So now it seems that Prince Yi¡¯s methods should mainly focus on the great practitioners. A group of people with extremely strong cultivation found an opportunity to sneak attack on the general's platform and kill the emperor before Zuo Wuwei's men had time to encircle him. But look at the emperor's side, the guards are so tight, even a great practitioner can't kill the emperor in an instant. Until now, there seemed to be no sign of Prince Yi's plan being revealed, which made Fang Jie feel somewhat uneasy.
While Fang Jie was patrolling back and forth, he turned his attention to the red sleeve moves. He was looking for the lady boss, but after looking carefully for a long time, he couldn't find it. Not only was there no sight of the landlady, but the old lame man was also nowhere to be found. Fang Jie suddenly frowned and then sighed.
How could I have missed this!
He said angrily in his heart, and then he remembered that the old cripple also respected Prince Yi very much. He had previously advised the landlady to follow the Red Sleeve move, and he had already approached the old cripple to ask him to watch the landlady not to take risks impulsively. But he forgot that if the old lame man got impulsive, he would be no worse than the landlady.
As soon as he thought of this, Fang Jie's heart became confused.
The landlady is very kind to him. If something happens to the landlady, he will feel uneasy.
Just when he was thinking about these things, he suddenly saw a skinny man approaching Hong Xiuzhao. That person was wearing the clothes of a servant of Hong Xiu Zhao, but he was definitely not the person of Hong Xiu Zhao. It was a big dog, and Fang Jie recognized it at a glance. He had let the big dog hide in Chang'an City just to wait for today. The big dog can smell murderous intent. This ability is unique. It allows him to hide in other places and detect crises earlier than following Fang Jie.
Fang Jie made an appointment with Da Quan to contact the people in Hongxiuzhao whenever he found anything wrong. The little master of Hongxiu Zhao will ask the dancers to use their dancing postures on the stage as code words to remind Fang Jie to pay attention.
At this time, Zuo Wuwei¡¯s men and horses had not yet fully entered the scene, and the big dog approached the red sleeve move
Fang Jie¡¯s heart froze!
In the crowd, the white-haired old man who had been proud to be the captain of Zuowu Guards suddenly changed his expression. His wife, who had been with him day and night, immediately noticed his change: "What's wrong?"
The old man frowned and muttered something wrong.
My wife asked what was wrong?
The old man was silent for a moment and then said: "According to logic, the soldiers who are inspected by His Majesty can carry swords and bows but they must not carry feathered arrows. Look, whether they are cavalry or infantry, they have arrow pots. The arrows in it are all full How could there be such a big negligence? If the emperor accuses him, even the general will be punished! "
The old lady thought for a while and said with a smile: "You are too sensitive. Aren't the armies going to go to war immediately? What's the matter with bringing feather arrows"
The old man shook his head: "I hope so."
¡¡
¡¡
Zuo Wuwei's three thousand cavalry and five thousand infantry circled half a circle around the square and then entered the square according to the regulations, and stood in a square formation behind the stage where the Red Sleeve Recruiters and their singing and dancing performers were. The army was more than 300 meters away from the emperor's commanding platform, separated by a stage and a passage set aside for the emperor to review the army.
A military governor riding a war horse passed around the army, loudly yelling at the soldiers to stand still. Soon, more than 10,000 soldiers lined up in the square. If you look at it from above, you will be amazed by the neat squares, just like cut tofu with four corners.
After Zuo Wuwei¡¯s men and horses stood up, the officials from the Ministry of Rites responsible for planning and arranging today¡¯s ceremony began to get busy again. They have to supervise those singing and dancing houses and make sure nothing goes wrong. Whoever performs on stage first and which program performs first must be verified, and no mistakes can be made in the order.
Huai Qiugong, the Minister of Rites, stood on the general stage, supervising the actions of the officials of the Ministry of Rites with clairvoyance.
After the scene calmed down, Huai Qiugong turned around and bowed his head to the emperor: "Your Majesty, we are ready. Can we let the people from the singing and dancing troupe start the performance?"
The emperor hummed and ordered: "Go and tell the girls in the singing and dancing troupes to work harder. My Zuowuwei army is about to go on an expedition. This performance is not for me, but for them. They. If you perform well, I will reward you generously.¡±
Huaiqiu Gong responded, then turned around and ordered his men.
Soon, several large drums placed in front of each stage, a total of seventy-two large drums, were beating at the same time. The sound of drums, like war thunder, resounded through the clouds. As the drums sounded, the people watching immediately fell silent. Following the sound of the drums, the soldiers of Zuowuwei used their horizontal knives to neatly beat the shields in their hands, in harmony with the sound of the drums. The atmosphere was immediately stirred up, and everyone had a kind of pride boiling in their hearts.
Tens of thousands of elites beat their shields or their breastplates in this way to match the sound of war drums. Although this melody is monotonous, it is definitely the most exciting tune.
After nine drums, a loud and distant horn sounded.
With the sound of the horn, officials from the Ministry of Rites began to urge the singing and dancing people to perform on stage. According to the regulations, more than a dozen singing and dancing houses performed programs in sequence. Finally, all the singing and dancing houses performed the dance at the same time to break the west wind and march the army. This piece of music that breaks the west wind is said to have been written by Li Xiao, the great general during the Taizong period. He was a Confucian general and was proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. In his later years, he guarded the northwest border for the Sui Dynasty, and composed this song in his spare time. The implication is that he wanted to tell others about his ambition. Although Li Xiao is old, he still has the desire to fight for the country, and breaking the west wind the target naturally refers to the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty in the northwest.
But what is ridiculous and sad is that Li Xiao¡¯s descendants colluded with the Mongolian people to seize the three northwest roads of the Sui Dynasty. That was the place where Li Xiao garrisoned, and this legendary man spent the rest of his life there.
This song is so popular that even children in the Sui Dynasty can sing it.
This kind of arrangement is obviously thoughtful. Think about a dozen delicate women from the singing and dancing troupe, performing a sonorous song "Breaking the West Wind" in front of thousands of troops. It must be very effective in inspiring the soldiers.
When the horn sounded, the first singing and dancing company to take the stage performed the classic song Spring Breeze and Green River South Bank. The author of this piece is none other than Huai Qiugong, the Minister of Rites. Huai Qiugong was from Jiangnan. He was poor since he was a child, but now he is recognized as a teacher among students in Jiangnan. When he is mentioned, he must be called sir. Therefore, Huai Qiu Gong's lyrics and music were widely circulated in Jiangnan.
As soon as this familiar tune played, Huai Qiugong couldn't help but smile.
When he made this song, he was selected as the number one scholar by the emperor at that time. He returned home in red and colorful clothes. When he returned to the south of the Yangtze River, it was early spring, so he composed the song Spring Breeze and Green River South Bank on a whim. In the blink of an eye, decades have passed.
The graceful women on the stage danced like willows blown by the wind, which made people marvel. Huaiqiu Gong seemed to have returned to the past.
He looked back at the emperor and found that the emperor was also looking at him.
The two people looked at each other and smiled.
The performance of the Red Sleeve Moves is at the end, so we have to wait for a while. Because of this, Fang Jie was a little anxious. He urgently wanted to know what Big Dog had discovered. Fortunately, he and Xiao Dingdian had agreed on a second set of code words. Just as another song and dance troupe was performing Spring Breeze and Green River South Bank, Xiao Dingdian suddenly walked onto the stage and seemed to casually arrange the flags on the stage.
That was the semaphore that Fang Jie taught her. It was not the semaphore of this era, but the one used by the navy in Fang Jie's previous life. Fang Jie was fascinated by the naval flag for a while in his previous life. When he was young, he tied a red scarf on a stick and waved it back and forth sillyly, feeling powerful and domineering.
I didn¡¯t expect it, but I¡¯m using it now.
When he saw the flag waved by Xiao Dingdian, his heart immediately tightened!

Martial arts academy
In front of the library
Beside the stone table
Dean Zhou settled down gently, his face calm. Sitting in front of him was a tall but thin old man with a beard that hung down to his chest. Wearing a black Taoist robe, solemn and solemn.
"The Duke of Zhou is very calculating"
Naturally, this old man wearing a black Taoist robe can only be Master Xiao from Qingle Mountain!
He held a white stone in his hand and hesitated for a long time, unable to put it down: "This hand was so wonderful that it forced me into a dead end"
He sighed with some disappointment, and then put the chess piece back into the box: "If I can't play, I lose. No matter how you calculate it, you still lose."
"Since you know that no matter what the calculation is, you will lose, why do you have to be so paranoid?"
Dean Zhou asked.
Master Xiao smiled and said: "The victory or defeat on the chessboard does not count. The nineteen vertical and horizontal lines on this chessboard may seem unfathomable, but in fact it is just a toy to relieve boredom."
Dean Zhou hummed and asked, "Give me a reason?"
Master Xiao picked up the chess pieces on the chessboard and said in a calm tone: "Your Majesty valued me as a Taoist sect, and I am grateful. When I was alone in the street gossiping, it was actually the same as begging. Your Majesty took pity on me and let me become a Taoist. Leader of the sect. Logically speaking, I should be content, so even I felt that it was too much. Why should I betray His Majesty¡¯s love? Only after I sat there and thought about it late at night did I realize that it was just a word of greed after all.¡±
"A person sitting at the foot of a mountain cannot see the top of the mountain when he looks up. But when a person sits only one step away from the top of the mountain, he always thinks that it would be wonderful to sit at the highest point."
He asked: "Does Duke Zhou know how the Great Khan of Meng Yuan succeeded to the throne?"
Dean Zhou raised his brows slightly, sighed and said: "I understand, it turns out you want to be the Great Wheel Ming King of the Sui Dynasty." - Didn't finish reading?
