I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 79
The royal family's ancestor worship has never been the royal family's business.

According to the practice of the country and the dynasty, the royal family worshiped the ancestors, and the offerings were delivered from the Neiyuan or Zuozangku, but the expenses of accommodation, food, defense, shopping and other expenses on the way had to be borne by the local government.

Zhao Xi also heard that in the early years, the princes of the Taizu's lineage worshiped the ancestors and guarded three thousand people, and the local government tried every means to flatter Jinxian... You don't need to think about it, you know what it will be like.

After hearing this, Zhao Xi suddenly lost interest.

Originally, Zhao Xi thought that this was a visit to the grave during the Qingming Festival. Although it is not limited to only the clan, it is enough to be accompanied by three or two hundred people.

I didn't expect it to be several thousand!How scary must this be?It's not that later generations have never seen the head of state travel, as it is now, I really haven't heard of it.

several thousand?Don't talk about disturbing people, just talk about your own feelings.If you want to see the real fireworks in the present world, you have to see through the heads of thousands of people.It's boring to think about.

But these are beyond his control.Since the court made a decision, he had no choice but to obey.

The personal attendant, old Chen Lin couldn't leave and had to accompany her father, but she pulled that Li Xian over.

And the guards closest to him are Xiu Wulang Cao Lin, Lieutenant of Xuanjie School of Mabu Division of the Guards, and Bingyilang Gao Jingxian, Deputy Lieutenant of Xuanjie of the Infantry Division of the Guards.

Just these two prefixes confused Zhao Xi for a long time. After asking, he realized that this title is the eighth rank, or from the eighth rank, which is equivalent to the post at the township level in later generations, that is, the battalion commander, which is about the same level as when he changed jobs.

Both of their positions are commanders... I still don't understand, but I guess it means managing a battalion, or a reinforcement battalion.

The reason why these two people are closest to me is that one is Cao Lin, which should be regarded as his big cousin, and the other Gao Jingxian is Tao Niang's cousin, that is, his future big brother-in-law.

The arrangement of these two people is normal and expected.

Putting aside the matter of biscuits, these two companies are dragged down. In terms of future development, these two companies are definitely Zhao Xi's supporters.

In the end, Zhao Xi knew it was here, and this was what the empress told him.As for how many people there were and who accompanied them, he had no idea.It's not his turn to worry.

Tao Niang also pretended to tell Zhao Xi how her elder brother Gao Jingxian is so strong in martial arts... Xiao Nizi, it is estimated that her elder brother also asked her to tell herself, don't worry.

Zhao Xi really doesn't care if martial arts are high or not.From what he already knew and what he learned here, he knows that in the past dynasties, only the demise of the country was not caused by the internal chaos of the people, that is to say, in this era, the happiness of the people of the country It's still okay, and there's not much grudge against the royal family.

As for a bandit, a bandit, if he sees the regular army and comes out to thump, it is definitely the one who thinks his life is too long.

There is still more than half a month before the Ching Ming Festival, and the court has already arranged the schedule.It is very detailed, from when to set off to when to hit the tip, and even the location of the rest and how to camp are arranged in detail.

It's just a matter of arranging toilets and toilets in turns!

Zhao Xi was very puzzled. He couldn't understand how the princes of the court knew whether it would rain or not.How do you know if the road is clear?Or how do you know if there will be any surprises along the way?

There was no choice, and he was very puzzled when he saw the schedule, but both his parents and Li Xian, who had experience outside the palace, thought it was normal.As for Wang Zhongzheng, the idiot doesn't understand either.

After asking, I found out that even if troops were sent to fight, the court arranged it like this... Zhao Xi was speechless.

It is not a trivial matter for a soldier to lose his duty. With such a strict schedule, accidents are not considered at all, and ample time is given. If this soldier is aggressive, he will see the devil.

This is also the first time Zhao Xi has seen Guochao operate like this. This can no longer be said to be behind closed doors, it is pure nonsense!
Zhao Xi originally wanted to chat with his father, to see how satisfied his father is... Shut up!It is estimated that only with such an arrangement can Dad feel at ease.

The emperor's father must be worried about the imperial army going out and destroying the established internal and external balance of the country, so let him go.

Fortunately, there is also someone in the Ministry of Rites who is in charge of this matter, and they have been dispatched temporarily. It is estimated that this literati is in charge, and he should have the authority to make decisions on the fly.

Whatever it is, anyway, I just want to accompany him for a stroll, and see what the world is like today.

It wasn't until Zhao Xi left Bianliang City the next day that he realized what he imagined walking around...

It is indeed a waste of time and money, so why bother?

When going from Neiyuan to the palace wall, there were more than 20 people including his own guard of honor and taking care of his daily life, Wang Zhongzheng and Li Xian each brought a dozen or so personal officials.

However, since the palace wall, it has become 500 people.Cao Lin led the [-]-strong horse infantry, Gao Jingxian led the [-]-strong infantry, as well as the officials who presided over the sacrifices arranged by the court, and their clan relatives who went to the south to worship the ancestors.

Four to five hundred people, from the close attendants, court officials, then the infantry, and then the horse infantry on the periphery...that is, the cavalry, with three floors, the team can travel half a mile.

What made Zhao Xi even more unexpected was that after leaving the palace gate, there was actually a drumming team of Chuichuidada... Is this going to worship the ancestors?
This is not the end!He remembered that the last time he went to the stables outside the city, the bustle of the entire Bianliang market hadn't changed much, but today... Although it was a bit early, it was impossible to tell that this was a city of nearly a million people.

He finally understood what pedestrian avoidance was, and this avoidance was absolutely thorough.

He also finally understood what happened to the so-called clear water splashed on the street and loess paved the ground.

Is this... all this?
Originally, Zhao Xi was thinking of walking with his guard of honor, but as soon as he left the palace, someone from the Ministry of Rituals came to criticize him, and he was even disciplined with his guard of honor.

Alright, let's go along and let someone carry it.

He didn't feel any jolts, and he didn't even feel a little bit of leaning left and right, or leaning forward and backward.

There is no way to argue about this, you have to follow the principles and the rules, it doesn't matter.

But after leaving the city gate of Bianliang, Zhao Xi knew what it meant to be a sea of ​​people, flags fluttering, gongs and drums blaring, firecrackers blasting together...

Pengri, Tianwu, Longwei, Shenwei, none of the upper four armies fell, and all sent a commander to guard their ancestors.

This is just him traveling as a prince, if it is really the father who is going out...won't the entire Bianliang defenders be moved away?
It really is.

After all, the Fourth Army was often inspected by the emperor, and they were stationed in the imperial city, so they really looked...fancy.

I don't know what others think, anyway, Zhao Xi feels this way.He felt that this team of the Fourth Army did not want to fight in order, but it was a bit like the guard of honor and art soldiers of later generations.

They all looked very handsome, and they were all of uniform stature, their helmets were bright and their armor was bright, and their knives, guns, swords and halberds were also shining.

It is estimated that their usefulness is limited to this.
