back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 839
"Report!!! 20 imperial troops broke through Annan, and the emperor Li Rizun of the Yue Dynasty was captured, and he will soon be in Chang'an!"

When the Pegasus emergency report sent the eight-hundred-mile military report to Chang'an, the whole Chang'an was shrouded in a frenzied atmosphere.

From time to time, You Qiong wrote a poem saying: "Suddenly I heard that the officers and soldiers took Jiaozhi, and the century-old homeland returned to the Central Plains. Nothing has happened in 50 years, but now I have my wish fulfilled."

This is an imitation of Du Fu, the great poet of the former dynasty, "Wearing that the Officials and the Army Take over Henan and Hebei", but a sense of joy is also vivid on the paper.

In fact, the people also agree with the imperial court very well. As long as the country is strong, the common people's sense of identity with the imperial court will also increase, and their sense of national pride will also rise spontaneously.

In the imperial palace of Chang'an City, Lu Chengqi was even more overjoyed, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay..." Lu Chengqi, who was excited, immediately asked Gao Hao to prepare a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and swished a piece of paper to write a piece of holy intention, which is the reward list.Lu Chengqi didn't confer rewards on officials, everything was determined by the Ministry of Officials after the merits were evaluated.What Lu Chengqi decided was all rewards from the three armies, as well as pensions for the soldiers who died in service.

This battle started in May and lasted through March until the Cochin rainy season came to an end.

But this only destroyed the Li Dynasty, and did not include Jiaozhi as a whole in the territory of Dashun.Therefore, Yang Wenguang still has a long way to go. He must continue to wipe out all the armed forces in Jiaozhi, and of course persuade him to surrender.It was not until there was no more soldiers in Jiaozhi that the war of annihilating the country was successfully concluded.

At the same time, civil servants will also be sent to take over the affairs of the Cochin states.Re-determining taxes, clearing the land, and distributing it to the landless people... all kinds of tedious work, I don't know how many years it will take to fully integrate Jiaozhi into the system of Dashun.

These are important but not urgent matters, and Lu Chengqi asked the Ministry of Officials and the Cabinet to do them.Now he is waiting for Li Rizun to arrive in Chang'an, how to prepare a grand ceremony for presenting prisoners.

"Well, while offering prisoners, we can hold a military parade on both sides of the Royal Street to let the people know how powerful the Forbidden Army is..."

Lu Chengqi is indeed a reborn person, and he is no stranger to the tactics of declaring force and muscle.If the relationship between Shun and Liao was not stable now, he would still want to conduct a "red and blue" confrontation exercise on the border of Liao!

The matter of presenting prisoners will be handed over to the Ministry of Rites and Taichang Temple.Not to mention the Ministry of Rites, it is used for the five ceremonies of Kaoji, Jia, Jun, Bin, and Fierce; it manages school affairs across the country, imperial examinations, and vassals' exchanges with foreign countries.And Taichang Temple is also in charge of rites and music, suburban temples, and Sheji. It is the head of the hundred ministers of the Qing Dynasty. As far as the seventh rank is concerned, the grade is not high, but the professional title is very clear.

Lu Chengqi's will is: "Order Yousi to formulate a ceremony for presenting captives..."

In fact, offering captives has been done in the past in Dashun, but it has not yet formed a custom.Now Lu Chengqi is full of confidence, and the prisoner offering will definitely be held frequently in the future, so this ceremony of prisoner offering must be spectacular, and I wish the whole world would know about it.This is not Lu Chengqi's extravagance and waste, but a necessary means to deter the enemy.If there was no such meaning, Lu Chengqi would not have done so many things.One must know that a sacrifice of prisoners would cost at least [-] guan.One hundred thousand guan is enough to pay half a month's salary to half of Dashun's officials.

Jiaozhi is more than 2000 miles away from Chang'an.

Yang Wenguang sent [-] imperial troops, led by Zhe Kexing, to escort Li Rizun and other civil and military ministers, queens, concubines, princes and others to Chang'an.

Along the way, Li Rizun and others made many demands in order to slow down the trip.Facing the future of ignorance, no one would feel uneasy.

But no matter what, Chang'an will arrive eventually.

More than a month later, Zhe Kexing led the imperial army to the outskirts of Chang'an.

Zhe Kexing asked his soldiers to go to Beijing to report, and was told that they had to stay outside the city for one night, and they could only enter Beijing at Maoshi tomorrow.

Zhe Kexing also knew that this was a ceremony for the court to present prisoners, and it would take time.Besides, soldiers have to obey orders as their bounden duty, so Zhe Kexing set up camp outside Chang'an City without saying a word.

That night, Li Rizun stayed up all night, looking at the majestic Chang'an, his heart was full of pain.Thinking of the homeland, she shed tears even more, and couldn't help but recite the famous article: "The homeland is unbearable to look back on. In the moonlight, the carved railings and jade brickwork should still be there, but Zhu Yan changed..."

After dawn, Li Rizun had just finished washing and arranging his clothes when he was taken out of the tent, thinking in a daze, "Should we go to the city this time?"

After entering Chang'an, Li Rizun immediately knew that he was really a frog in a well.Chang'an is so big that it is unimaginable. "Chang'an Avenue is narrow and slanted, with green cattle, white horses and seven fragrant chariots. The jade chariot crosses the main building, and the golden whip flows to the Hou family. The dragon holds the treasure and the cover bears the sun, and the phoenix spits tassels to bring the sunset..." Li Rizun is also very knowledgeable. He recited "Chang'an Ancient Ideas" written by the former poet Lu Zhaolin verbatim.This poem is nearly [-] words, and it is difficult for him to remember.

After entering Chang'an City, officials from the Ministry of Rituals were leading the way with Lubu in hand, and Li Rizun and other civil and military officials were also symbolically tied up with white silk by the forbidden army, and they were escorted to Taimiao and Taishe in turn to give a salute, that is, to offer prisoners to Ancestors, gods of the land.Then escorted to Xuande Gate, Lu Chengqi had already been waiting upstairs in Xuande Tower.

When I arrived at Xuande Gate, I saw that there were guards on both sides of the imperial street, and all the soldiers and officials were wearing official uniforms and lined up in front of Xuande Gate.Li Chaojun and his ministers came to the downstairs of Xuande and waited on the west side of Yujie.The generals, schools and soldiers who participated in the prisoner offering ceremony were all dressed in military uniforms and stood with arms, and all officials were arranged in squads.After the Baiguan danced and paid homage, Tong Shisheren led Li Rizun and his ministers to offer prisoners.At this time, the school will come forward to dance and worship, and then read the Lubu in public according to the Xuanzhi ceremony.

The content of Lu Bu's content is to declare the justice of this southward battle and the martial arts since the founding of Dashun, but the Li Dynasty did not follow the orders of Dashun, and Li Rizun was even more tyrannical and ruthless. The hearts of the people in Jiaozhi are towards Dashun, "There is no way to complain to the sky in one place, and where can the living people claim their injustice! The hearts of the people are bright, like looking at the bright sun." Therefore, the forbidden army marched into Jiaozhi to save the lives of one side.The fact is that, in less than half a year, the Forbidden Army has won many battles and arrived at Dragon City.At this time, Li Rizun launched diplomatic means again, and repeatedly professed his ministers to confuse the imperial army, but secretly gathered his troops in an attempt to counterattack.Finally, the two sides had a final decisive battle, "By July [-]th, I will be dispatched to serve. Eighty miles of guns and flags raced forward, and tens of thousands of people were killed. Find and distribute masters and apprentices, and collect bandits."

The last part of Lubu is the list of prisoners who were offered this time. There are ten people in total. Chen Gai, Zuo Qingdao Liu Qing, You Qingdao Wang Xing, Taiwei Guo Qingri, Wu Sheng General Nong Zongquan (who survived the fall from his horse and was captured by the imperial army), "the brigade refused to be captured, and offered prisoners under contract".

Afterwards, the more than [-] imperial troops, led by Zhe Kexing, carried out the military parade at a neat pace.

The people watching from the side all shouted "Long live" in unison, and Lu Chengqi's reputation reached its peak for a while.
