Tuqing: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 102: Gorgeous military parade performance! Princess proposal!

Before Xianfeng left home, he received huge bad news.

Jiangsu Governor Jierhang'a besieged Zhenjiang, which was officially defeated, and the official army withdrew to the Jiuhuashan camp.

"Incompetent! Incompetent! Incompetent!"

The emperor was furious again. He was about to go out immediately, but after receiving the bad news, he sat back again.

Sulking there.

Concubine Yi said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. You have already anticipated this day, haven't you?"

The emperor still said nothing.

What Concubine Yi said was true. News came out some time ago that the siege of Zhenjiang was not going well, and Qin Rigang and other rebellious leaders had attacked from behind. At that time, I felt that the battle was not going well.

Concubine Yi said: "Besides, after all, Gilhang'a's main force still exists, and he has withdrawn to the camp, hasn't he?"

"Your Majesty, today is a big day. Forget about this unpleasantness for now."

So the emperor calmed down and, under the service of the eunuch, put on the Gong uniform for the first time.

Normally, court attire is worn, but this robe is rarely worn twice throughout the year. It is usually worn at major ceremonies such as offering sacrifices to heaven.

Today's military parade and military performance ceremony can be considered a big day.

"Get started!"

With a burst of chanting, the emperor led thousands of people to leave the Forbidden City and headed for Nanyuan.

At this time, another crack-level news was already on the way.

......................................................

It took more than two hours for the emperor's chariot to arrive at Nanyuan.

"The Emperor is here!"

"kneel!"

Tens of thousands of people in the audience knelt down in unison.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The emperor took his seat.

Then, the military parade minister, Prince Hui Mianyu, read the military parade parallel poem loudly.

Thousands of spectators were present, listening solemnly.

It is very difficult to enter this military parade ground to watch the ceremony. It is not right to describe it as either rich or noble. Only rich people are not qualified to come.

The capital is rich with high-ranking officials.

Senior bureaucrats from the surrounding provinces, three people in the top rank of imperial examinations, etc.

But the Suhe family was an exception. Although their level was far from enough, they were still able to watch the ceremony at the scene.

Because of this incident, Su He had already shown it off to every relative and friend.

"Actually, the most important highlight of today's military parade and martial arts ceremony is my son Su Yi." Su He said: "He has been really busy in the past six months and has not been home for a day. I can't believe it."

"It's a pity that I couldn't tell him a few words. Today's military parade and martial arts ceremony. First of all, I must win for the emperor, but we can't let our brother army lose too embarrassingly, right? We are all under the Eight Banners. We will see each other with our heads down but not our heads up."

Around him, there were first-grade and second-grade officials.

When meeting someone as familiar as Su He, I really didn't know how to respond, so I could only nod perfunctorily.

Su Quan wanted to hide his face and pretend not to know this father.

Chongen next to him finally couldn't help it anymore and said, "Brother, Prince Hui is talking."

................................................

Finally, Prince Hui Mianyu finished reading his article.

Originally, the emperor needed to practice martial arts and archery at this time, but everyone knew Xianfeng's standard, so this link was canceled directly.

However, amidst the solemn and magnificent music, the emperor still led the majestic bodyguards on horseback, entered from the left side of the formation, and then rode a horse around the entire campus.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Tens of thousands of people were present and kept chanting.

Then, the emperor dismounted and, accompanied by the princes and ministers, climbed back to the Yingtai Palace and took his seat again.

At the same time, more than a dozen Chinese painters and more than a dozen Western painters came out and began to put up frames and start painting.

Today they have a very heavy task, they need to draw the emperor's military parade map.

Prince Hui Mianyu came to the imperial chariot and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, please give me your order!"

The emperor said: "Start!"

Military Parade Minister Mian Yu shouted loudly: "Start!"

Then, a melodious Mongolian chant sounded.

Then, the conch sounded.

The military parade officially begins!

..........................................

The first person to appear was the infantry commander's yamen square formation, with a total of 1,500 people.

Barely okay!

After all, this is not a front-line combat force, but a second-line force that maintains public security in the capital, guards the city gates, and apprehends criminals.

But the emperor still frowned.

Even though they have worked hard to cheer up, this team is still loose.

But Ruichang, the nine-door admiral, was also helpless. All the most elite cavalrymen in his cavalry were picked away.

And it was picked out a long time ago.

Immediately afterwards, the second group came on stage, the Green Camp Army from Zhili.

worse!

Even the steps are off.

Suddenly, the emperor's face turned blue.

The third team to appear was the Mongolian cavalry.

Everyone was slightly excited.

They are not neat, but at least they are majestic and powerful.

There is a feeling of Qian Qijuan Hiraoka.

The fourth appearance is the guard camp!

At this time, the emperor's face had no smile at all.

The audience present also lost some interest.

Just...that's it!

The fifth appearance, forward camp!

that's it!

After the tenth phalanx passed by.

The emperor's face was completely livid, and the thousands of spectators present were completely drowsy.

Didn't you expect that these armies would be so mediocre?

The eleventh square formation is the Eight Banners Han Army Artillery Battalion.

Watching dozens of cannons, pulled by war horses, slowly appear on the school grounds.

Finally, the crowd perked up.

Finally something exciting.

Then came even more excitement.

Dozens of cannons arrived at their predetermined positions, aimed at distant targets, and fired in unison.

"Boom boom boom..."

After the deafening sound.

The target in the distance exploded violently.

Fire shot into the sky.

But this fire was obviously not caused by cannonballs, but gunpowder hidden in the target.

Because this flame is too huge.

And it's not just that.

This flame eventually turned into fireworks that soared into the sky.

Although it is a fake, it looks good after all.

Everyone was excited and shouted in unison.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The emperor finally smiled.

After performing for a quarter of an hour, the Eight Banners Han Army Artillery Battalion slowly exited.

Everyone fell silent.

Because the highlight of today's military parade and martial arts ceremony is about to begin.

The penultimate person to appear was the Zhenghuangqi Xiaoqiying camp.

Everyone knows that this time the Xiaoqi battalion is not the original team, but the most elite cavalry drawn from the Eight Banners' hundreds of thousands of people to form the fifteen hundred cavalry.

A true one in a million!

There is only one purpose, to defeat Su Yi's new army and regain the glory of the Eight Banners.

time!

The whole piece of music changed.

Get excited.

Then the whole ground shook.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

Fifteen hundred cavalry appeared.

Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.

So mighty!

So domineering!

It is indeed gorgeous, because these 1,500 horses are all tall and carefully selected.

And these 1,500 cavalry were all wearing Eight Banners cavalry armor.

The yellow armor, under the sunlight, makes people unable to open their eyes.

The aura brought by the 1,500 heavy armored cavalry is quite shocking.

This planner is very smart, and all the boring and dull military parades ahead are all foreshadowing.

Just to form a strong contrast.

All the preparations before were just for this amazing moment.

The mediocrity of all the troops in front is just to highlight this elite cavalry battalion.

These 1,500 cavalrymen came in full force.

Moving over like a mountain.

Like a steel frenzy, it came overwhelmingly.

Everyone in the audience held their breath.

Too beautiful.

Then, under the order of the leader of the Xiaoqi Battalion.

The music became more and more passionate.

The 1,500 cavalry began to gradually accelerate, forming a huge square formation, moving from everyone's sight.

From west to east.

It's getting faster.

However, the entire camp is still not in chaos.

Faster and faster, faster and faster!

Finally, it was like lightning.

The whole ground seemed to be shaking violently.

When the speed reached its extreme, the entire cavalry suddenly dispersed.

From a square matrix, it became three circles.

Then, the most gorgeous scene appeared.

Fifteen hundred cavalrymen drew a circle on the spot.

Galloping fast.

Moreover, the three circles rotate in different directions.

For a moment, everyone present was mesmerized.

The emperor was completely shocked.

This is my real Eight Banners!

In an instant, everyone felt as if they had returned to the most glorious moment of the Eight Banners one or two hundred years ago.

After turning around several times.

The fifteen hundred cavalrymen dispersed once again.

Become a charging formation and accelerate to the extreme again.

Like a surging river, it swept away in another direction.

Just when everyone thought that the performance of Xiaoqi Camp was about to end.

Suddenly, these more than a thousand cavalrymen gradually stopped and then suddenly turned back.

then……

Hundreds of people pushed seven huge wooden boards to the middle of the parade ground.

Each wooden board is one foot square, arranged neatly, facing the emperor.

Everyone was surprised, could there be another performance?

Next, the climax of the Xiaoqi camp's performance appeared.

The more than a thousand cavalry began to charge around these seven huge wooden boards.

Then the entire cavalry circled around these seven huge planks of wood.

They started shooting arrows!

Everyone suddenly realized.

Just now I thought it was strange that the Eight Banners started out as a cavalry archery team, so why didn’t it have an archery component?

As a result, it turned out to be here.

But just cum like that?

But then, an even more gorgeous scene appeared.

More than a thousand cavalrymen kept shooting arrows.

Arrows are like a rainstorm!

These more than a thousand cavalrymen galloped in circles around these huge wooden boards while shooting arrows.

Archery is extremely fast.

A moment later, everyone was shocked to find out.

On these seven wooden boards, several large characters gradually took shape.

Long live Long live Long live!

This... this was nailed in by a sharp arrow.

These countless arrows spelled out seven characters.

This, how is this done?

Can he shoot so accurately?

Is this level of riding and shooting so high?

At this time, thousands of people present, including all the princes, ministers, and nobles, were completely stunned.

At this time, I was completely dazzled by what I saw.

In this way, more than a thousand people shot an average of more than a dozen arrows each.

Archery finished!

On seven large wooden boards, seven characters were officially formed.

Long live Long live Long live!

This is not just a few big characters, but also the font of Emperor Xianfeng.

Everyone looked at this scene in disbelief.

This, how is this done?

Of course, it's actually very simple to do this.

Each of these large wooden boards is spliced ​​together. There is an iron plate inside and the outer layer is covered with wood.

The only place with these seven words is cork. More than a thousand cavalrymen kept shooting arrows.

When the arrow hits the iron plate, it will naturally bounce to the ground.

When the arrow hit the location of these words, it penetrated deeply.

Therefore, there is no need to aim at all, just keep shooting wildly.

Moreover, these more than a thousand cavalry were shooting while galloping, and everyone could hardly see the arrows being bounced and falling to the ground.

The tall cavalry team blocked most of the arrows from rebounding.

To everyone, it was as if these more than a thousand people were riding and shooting accurately, writing seven characters with their arrows.

And at this time, how can we consider so much?

This is so exciting that it makes people tremble.

After the performance!

The more than a thousand cavalrymen knelt down in unison and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live the emperor!"

The leader took off his helmet, revealing his handsome face.

It was Prince Horqin's son Boyannamohu, a first-class bodyguard, and also the commander of the Xiaoqi Battalion!

Although he left the New Army, his official rank was higher than that of Su Yi at this time.

Su Yi is in the fourth grade and Boyan is in the third grade.

He knelt down on one knee towards the emperor and shouted loudly: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live my emperor!"

He had been preparing for this day for half a year.

After leaving the New Army, he had only one thought in his heart.

Don't dare to spend any price, no matter how hard you spend, you must win Su Yi.

Since the New Army failed to seize power, the New Army will be completely trampled under its feet.

He wanted to prove to the emperor that the New Army was nothing but shit.

The Eight Banners Cavalry is the ancestral method, and it was able to sweep across the world and win the country.

It still works!

What new army? It's all sensationalism.

So he started planning this day from the day he left the New Army.

He used countless connections to select the most elite cavalry from Manchuria and Mongolia and trained them secretly.

To the outside world, he seemed to have only practiced for half a month.

But in fact, he practiced for half a year. He spent a lot of money, a lot of contacts, and almost worked hard with his life.

If you don’t practice anything else, just practice for today’s military parade.

The emperor was overjoyed and said: "Okay, okay, okay!"

"Bo Yan Na Mo Hu, you lead the troops well. This martial arts performance is an eye-opener for me."

"This scene reminds me of our ancestors who were invincible in cavalry and archery a hundred years ago."

"I decree that Boyan Nemohu will be rewarded with flowers and feathers in his eyes, and he will be granted the title of Batur!"

Boyan knelt down and kowtowed: "Slave, thank you Lord for your kindness."

"The Eight Banners are victorious!" Boyan shouted.

More than a thousand cavalrymen behind them also shouted in unison: "The Eight Banners will be victorious!"

Thousands of people in the audience shouted in unison: "The Eight Banners will win!"

Boyan stood up and stood with his head held high.

The glory that was lost before is all back today.

Next, he will give Su Yi a double blow.

Su Yi wants to marry Princess Shouxi. This is a secret, but it is not a secret.

Boyan not only wanted to steal Su Yi's future, but also wanted to steal his wife.

At this time, Su He couldn't laugh anymore. He was also stunned by the cavalry performance of the Xiaoqi Battalion led by Boyan just now.

So shocking, so amazing.

Su Quan, Chong En, and Ruilin also looked very bad.

I really didn't expect that Boyan would hold back such a big move.

It immediately shocked everyone present, including the emperor.

So what should Su Yi do next? How to win in this situation?

..................................................................

Some time ago!

Prince Horqin Fu Jin entered the palace and asked to see the queen.

This Fujin is also a royal daughter, the daughter of Dorobele Wenhe.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Prince Horqin Fujin asked Princess Shouxi about her marriage.

The meaning is very clear, to propose marriage to Boyan.

Queen Niu Hulu was at a loss for a moment, because she knew very well that Princess Shou'an also wanted to be a matchmaker and wanted to marry Princess Shouxi to Su Yi.

But it's hard to mention it now, because Su Yi's new army has not yet received any decent credit.

Unexpectedly, Prince Horqin's Mansion would be the first to arrive.

The other party's status is too high. Once he opens his mouth, it is almost impossible to refuse.

Therefore, the queen couldn't help but look towards Concubine Yi.

Concubine Yi has big ideas, and she vaguely intends to become the lord of the harem.

Of course Concubine Yi also knew about Su Yi and Princess Shouxi, but she seemed to have other ideas.

So, she didn't speak.

In her heart, she didn't really want to consummate this marriage.

Of course, the reasons were very complicated. The most important thing was that she hoped that Su Yi would be the only one to rely on in the palace.

So Queen Niu Hulu turned her attention to Princess Shou'an again.

Princess Shou'an was filled with hatred. What's the use of a queen like you? You can't make up your mind about anything?

Of course she wanted the queen to refuse directly, but it was impossible even if she thought about it.

Seng Gelinqin is now Optimizing Jade Pillar. As long as Fujin opens his mouth, it is impossible to refuse him directly.

However, Princess Shou'an wanted to think about Su Yi.

At this time, the importance of Su Yi's repeated teasing actually became apparent.

If she didn't tease, touch or hug her, Su Yi would be just an ordinary savior to Princess Shou'an.

Things like life-saving grace will soon be forgotten.

Moreover, Princess Shou'an helped Su Yi not only once or twice, but from the royal point of view, it was a return of favor.

And once they touch each other randomly, it becomes a relationship between a man and a woman.

That's completely different.

That damn ghost is annoying and annoying.

But at critical moments, we must help.

If you don't help, you won't have the face to see him in the future.

Then, Princess Shou'an said: "Fu Jin, this is a coincidence. Not long ago, I was a matchmaker and wanted to betroth my sixth sister to Su Yi."

Suddenly, Prince Horqin Fujin’s expression changed.

If it were other women, Princess Shou'an would have no say. After all, she was just a married princess.

However, she is not only the emperor's only sister with the same father and mother, but also the biological sister of Princess Shouxi.

Then, Princess Shou'an said: "Of course, it doesn't matter what we say about this matter. We still have to let the Emperor Qiangang make the final decision."

Prince Horqin Fujin smiled and said: "That's natural, then let's wait for the emperor's decree."

She firmly believed that once Prince Horqin opened his mouth, the emperor would not refuse.

But she hates Princess Shouan deeply in her heart. You are also the princess who cares for Mongolia. Although I am not as noble as you, my husband's family is far superior to yours.

We are all members of the Mongolian royal family. Did you actually offend me, Prince Horqin?

How can Prince Naiman compare with me, Prince Horqin?

Besides, you are only marrying Taiji, who is worthy of King Naiman, and is not as noble as my son Boyan.

After a few more pleasantries, Prince Horqin Fujin left the palace, and she was going to find the more virtuous and respected Prince Fujin as a matchmaker.

Princess Shou'an put on a soft cavalry armor and rushed towards the Nanyuan school grounds with dozens of guards.

Everything must be fast!

This must be stopped before anyone speaks to the emperor.

Otherwise, she still can't stop Prince Horqin's Mansion.

The best way is to let Su Yi propose to the emperor in public. Even if he fails, he can still stop Prince Horqin's palace.

However, Su Yi needs a reason to propose.

And it's a very powerful reason.

................................................

Inside Nanyuan Campus.

Several hundred soldiers began to clear the entire site, removing several large boards and picking up items from the ground.

At this time, the thousands of people in the audience seemed a little disinterested.

Because the martial arts performance of the Xiaoqi Battalion led by Boyan just now was so exciting that he felt a little stuffed all of a sudden, so he was no longer interested in the next martial arts performance.

"Don't yawn, next is Su Yi's new army."

"Ah? Su Yi's new army, the grand finale?"

"Is it the new army that combines civil and military skills and claims to be the most powerful army in the world? Is it the new army that has not been seen in a century?"

"Yes, yes, yes, that's him!"

Suddenly, everyone got excited again, waiting for the next and last Su Yi's new army to appear.

And this time!

Su Yi and more than a thousand new troops were waiting quietly in a huge barracks.

Wang Shiqing felt extremely pressured.

Because he also saw the martial arts performance of the Xiaoqi Battalion led by Boyan just now. It was really shocking and amazing.

Su Yi didn't expect that Boyan could hold back such a big move.

This is definitely not something that can be accomplished in half a month or a month.

Boyan must have been preparing for this day for a long time.

Even today's military parade and martial arts ceremony have been planned for a long time.

Just for today, give Su Yi a fatal blow.

Niubi!

Boyan is awesome.

And this Prince Horqin Mansion is awesome.

With such great strength, he can plan such a big plan.

And it can be hidden so deeply.

At the critical moment, such a stunning scene was staged.

Wang Shiqing said from the side: "Shuai Yi, can we still win this game?"

Su Ye thought for a while, nodded and said: "To win, you need to win at a higher level, you need to win more thoroughly and more amazingly."

And this time!

Several horses galloped over.

One of the cavalrymen immediately dismounted and ran towards Su Yi.

Su Yi was stunned, who is this? Come to yourself at this moment?

"Come in with me." The cavalryman came to Su Yi and whispered.

Princess Shouan?

Why did you come here dressed like this?

Women were not allowed to enter the military parade at this time, so she could only dress up in men's clothing and wear armor.

Although this soft armor is not as heavy as the armor, it still weighs dozens of kilograms, but it is already very heavy for a woman.

Enter the next room and close the door.

Princess Shouan took off her helmet, revealing her beautiful and noble face.

"Prince Horqin Fujin just entered the palace to propose marriage to the queen and propose to Sixth Sister for Boyan." Princess Shou'an said: "I blocked her for the time being. She left the palace in anger. She will definitely go to a more respected royal elder to officially Propose to the Emperor."

"Once they wait until they speak to the emperor, it will be too late, and the emperor will not be able to refuse."

"It is very important for you to marry Sixth Sister, because she is the only Heshuo Princess who is suitable for marriage. You are only a red belt, and it will be difficult for you to have a higher title than a Duke in the future. But once you marry Sixth Sister, you are likely to exceed this limit. "

"The only way now is to strike first and propose to the emperor directly later."

"But this requires a very strong reason. Can you think of this reason?"

At this moment, Su Yi was really moved.

For his future, Princess Shou'an, the sister, really tried her best.

Maybe Su Yi was flirting with her and flirting with her, with a bit of hypocrisy.

And Princess Shou'an kept saying that she saw through Su Yi's tricks, and she really saw through it.

But even so, Princess Shou'an still fell in love with Su Yi, her savior and half-concubine.

Su Yi did not tease her this time, but looked at Princess Shou'an affectionately.

Princess Shou'an said: "Did you hear that?"

Then, she noticed Su Yi's fiery gaze.

For the first time, he didn't tease or touch her randomly, but burned her with his hot eyes.

"Don't do this trick. You usually act like a hooligan with your hands and feet. At critical moments, a humble gentleman shows his infatuation and performs mind-attacking techniques. I know these tricks of yours very well, but they are of no use to me." Princess Shou'an said: "These tricks of yours are useless to me. Sixth sister sent her away, she is young and ignorant and can be easily deceived."

Then, she looked away and said, "Did you hear what I said?"

Su Yi said: "I heard it!"

Boyan was really good. He lay dormant for more than half a year and directly dealt a double fatal blow to Su Yi.

Military parades and military exercises cut off the future of Su Yi's new army.

Proposing to Princess Shouxi will ruin Su Yi's future of wealth.

Princess Shou'an said: "The only way is to strike first and propose to the emperor soon. Can you find a strong enough reason?"

"Okay." Su Yi said, "I can find enough reasons."

Princess Shou'an said: "The reason why you can surpass Prince Horqin's Palace?"

Su Yi said: "Yes, it is powerful enough to suppress the route of Prince Horqin's Palace."

Princess Shou'an stared at Su Ye for a long time, but did not ask Su Ye for the reason.

Because according to her understanding of Su Yi, as long as he solemnly said everything, he did it.

"Then I'll be relieved." Princess Shou'an breathed a long sigh of relief.

At this moment, Wang Shiqing outside said: "Shuai Yi, we are going to play soon!"

Princess Shou'an said: "You go ahead, I will watch your martial arts performance here."

Su Yi nodded and walked out.

"Wait a moment." Princess Shou'an said.

Then she stepped forward and stretched out her hands to adjust Su Yi's military uniform and his military cap.

Then, she said seriously: "Go and do your big thing and calm them all."

Su Yi walked out.

More than a thousand new troops gathered in the courtyard and lined up!

Wang Shiqing was so nervous that he was shaking slightly and asked again: "Shuai Yi, can we win?"

Su Yi said: "We can win, but the skill lies in poetry. We need to win them at another latitude and at a higher altitude."

This is what later generations would call a dimensionality reduction attack!

At this time, Prince Hui's sweet voice sounded outside!

"Military Parade and Martial Arts Ceremony, last stage, the new army led by Su Yi!"

"Appear!"
