Humane Yongchang

Chapter 493
It's not yet dawn.

Chen Sheng got up from the bed lightly, groping for clothes.

"Haven't you slept all night?"

Zhao Qingweng's voice sounded suddenly.

Chen Sheng turned his head: "It still woke you up..."

Zhao Qing raised his upper body: "The concubine actually didn't sleep much."

The couple looked at each other and smiled.

Chen Sheng: "It seems that I am just an ordinary person after all!"

Zhao Qing got up with a smile, stroked his cheek and explained: "Where is it, the founding ceremony is such a big event, even the palace people and guards in the palace are very excited, let alone Your Majesty..."

She called to His Majesty, but her demeanor and tone of voice were still as pampering as before.

Chen Sheng bent down and pressed his forehead against hers, feeling the soft, delicate and warm touch...

He suddenly felt extremely fortunate that no matter how the world changes, there are still some things that remain the same.

"Okay, let's go take a shower and change clothes when we wake up."

After a while, he got up, caressed his wife's face, and said with a smile: "You are also the protagonist today, Empress Empress!"

Zhao Qing patted his dishonest hands away, and said seriously: "Today there is only one protagonist in the world, and that is our emperor, His Majesty!"

"Row!"

He smiled: "Then I'll go take a shower and change clothes first, take your time."

Zhao Qing rolled his eyes at him with all kinds of flair, and the room was filled with spring breeze!

Chen Sheng ran away in a hurry, like a useless puppy.

At the end of Yinshi, there was a thunderbolt from the blue sky, announcing the meaning of Waking Insects, and at the same time announcing the arrival of the founding ceremony!

At Maoshi, the bell tolled nine times, resounding throughout Jinling, the palace gates were opened wide, and all the civil and military officials dressed in costumes entered the palace in shifts, waiting for the ceremony to begin.

Meng Yi, who was dressed in a third-grade purple peacock official robe, stood among the officials and walked forward step by step...

Just as he was about to step into the Yanqing Palace, he accidentally saw a figure from the corner of his eye talking to several royal guards on duty in the distance.

He hesitated for a moment, bowed his hands to the surrounding officials to accuse him of a crime, then left the team and strode up to the man, asking suspiciously: "Zhou Tongzhi, you don't stand in the shift to enter the palace, here you are with Wang Ting What are the guards entangled for?"

This person is Zhou Cang who took Chen Feng's place in Jinyiwei, that is, the current boss of the Chen family with the surname Zhou, a veteran of the Special Warfare Bureau, and the current commander of Jinyiwei, from the third grade.

When Zhou Cang saw Meng Yi, it was like meeting a savior. He grabbed Meng Yi's forearm, lowered his voice, and said eagerly, "Master Meng, there is an urgent report from Southern Xinjiang!"

Meng Yi frowned suddenly: "Battle report?"

Zhou Cang: "Sanyu Battle Report!"

Meng Yi raised his head and glanced at the white belly that appeared in the east, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't arrive early, and I didn't arrive late, but I chose this matter, aren't you looking for excitement?"

Zhou Cang also had troubles that he couldn't tell. They also received the battle report an hour ago. At that time, the gate of Changning Palace was locked, and no one could enter the palace unless they had the Golden Order of the King of Han...

Just when the two of them didn't know what to do, another figure came over and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you panicking?"

The two looked back, but it was Fan Zeng who was wearing a second-rank golden pheasant black official uniform. This old man has another identity today: the chief director of the founding ceremony!
As if they had been pardoned, they both bowed to Fan Zeng.

"Fan Gong, Southern Border Battle Report!"

"One hundred thousand fire!"

Hearing this, Fan Zeng also frowned suddenly: "Can I show the old man first?"

Zhou Cang shook his head like a rattle: "It doesn't comply with regulations."

Fan Zeng did not insist, and said decisively: "The family and the country are important, the army is at the sacrifice, the army is at the front, and the sacrifice is at the back...Meng Yi, quickly lead Zhou Cang into the palace, and warn your majesty, let him fight like a fire, You must also wait until after the founding ceremony before sending troops!"

Both of them bowed their hands together to salute, and then Meng Yi took out a piece of Hanwang Jinling from his waist, and led Zhou Cang quickly to the harem.

After going through an investigation ten times stricter than that of Waichao, the two successfully met Chen Sheng in the bathroom.

Chen Sheng, who had just finished bathing and changing clothes, was wearing a brand new black and gold Kowloon gown. The majestic majesty that appeared through his body made it almost impossible for Meng Yi and Zhou Cang to look up into his eyes.

When Chen Sheng saw these two people, he was also very puzzled: "Why do you have to enter the audience at this time?"

In the pre-rehearsal, there was no such thing.

Zhou Cang hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, the southern border battle report, the Baiyue people gathered more than 30 soldiers and horses, and marched towards our Lingling line..."

As he spoke, he took out two confidential letters from his pocket and handed them to Meng Yi in front of him.

After Meng Yi took the secret letter and checked it roughly, he bowed and presented it to Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng was holding two secret letters, but he couldn't digest the news for a while: "You Jinyiwei, have you confirmed the source of the news?"

He was not surprised that the Baiyue people invaded.

He has no friendship with the Baiyue people, and if the Baiyue people want to invade Kyushu, naturally they will not look at his auspicious day first.

He was surprised that the Baiyue people actually used more than 30 Baiyue soldiers and horses!
According to the information about Baiyue that Jing Ke found out only after his narrow escape, the three major tribes of Baiyue had a total population of less than three million.

More than 30 soldiers and horses, even if there are some coalition forces of many small tribes among them, the three major tribes must have spent the capital of the town clan!
This kind of battle is obviously a life-and-death battle that overwhelms the destiny of the country!
Chen Sheng didn't understand that he had just unified Kyushu, and the army was at its peak in terms of strength and combat effectiveness!
Where did the people in power of the Baiyue people have the courage to come and fight the battle of national fortune with their big men at this time?
Didn't they consider the consequences of defeat?
Also, this is obviously inconsistent with the virtues of the Baiyue people who have always used soldiers to pick, pick, and search.

You know, when the old general Lianpo died in battle, the Baiyue people only dispatched 10,000+ mobs to expand the results of the battle northward.

At that time, the interior of Kyushu was still under the separatist regime, and a group of people closed the door to fight their brains...

Zhou Cang hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, please read the two reports that Nanjiang just sent back."

"These two informants, one is Yizhou General Liu Bang, and the land of Baiyue warned our Suzaku Military Region."

"The second is the reward for verifying the early warning with the scouts in Bolang's army and my Jinyiwei spies!"

"Two phases of evidence, should be confirmed!"

Chen Sheng gave a puzzled "Yeah", found the secret letter marked Liu Bang in his hand, opened it and carefully reviewed it sentence by sentence, and saw that it carefully recorded the composition of the troops and the route of the Baiyue people's invasion of Kyushu. And some vague information about the commanding generals.

It can be said that he is a very good twenty-five boy!
"When did Liu Bang's warning come?"

After reading Liu Bang's warning, Chen Sheng took out another confidential letter, opened it up and browsed quickly. The investigation results of the military scouts and Jinyiwei spies recorded on it were indeed very different from Liu Bang's warning.

Zhou Cang: "Return to Your Majesty, Liu Bang's early warning was sent to the Bolang barracks in the early morning yesterday."

Chen Sheng calculated the time and distance in his mind, and said with a smile: "What an old bastard who can't remember the good ones, sincerely add trouble to me!"

Zhou Cang lowered his head, not daring to make a sound.

He also analyzed earlier that there is a high probability that this Liu Bang deliberately suppressed the news until the day of the founding ceremony, so as to keep the disgusting king.

Otherwise, based on the completeness of the information Liu Bang possessed, he would have known the news that the Baiyue people were going to invade Kyushu at least half a month ago.

If he really sincerely warned them, he could have sent them the news of the Baiyue invasion in advance to inform them, and then slowly sent over the Baiyue people's troop composition, marching route, and other information.

Guessing, that guy still had some dark thoughts in his heart that he hoped that both the big man and the main force of the Baiyue people would lose. Benefits, so the big man must be prepared, but not too fully prepared...

In addition, how much can sell well, right?
This small calculation, of course, cannot be hidden from Chen Sheng.

In other words, Liu Bang didn't want to hide it at all.

"I've grown up, I know how to play Yangmou..."

Chen Sheng joked casually, and returned the two sealed letters to Meng Yi.

Then, with his hands behind his back, he paced in the bright and spacious bathroom. After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Immediately order Bai Qi, chief of staff of the Suzaku Military Region, to take full charge of this battle... Send me a golden order to tell When will he hand in a dazzling answer sheet for me, I don't need to rush him, but if there is a dirty paw of a Baiyue person who crosses the Changsha line, I will settle the old score with him!"

Among the senior generals of the Han army, only Meng Tian has rushed back to the capital to take up the post of Secretary of the Ministry of War, and the military chiefs of the other major military regions have not returned to the capital to participate in the founding ceremony.

The defense is that the foreign barbarians take advantage of this opportunity to invade Kyushu, and there is no one in the army to guard them, so the foreign barbarians take advantage of it...

Unexpectedly, his habitual and steady instincts actually played a big role!

If it weren't for Bai Qi sitting in southern Xinjiang, he might have to suspend the founding ceremony now, go to southern Xinjiang first, and command the Bolang Army to fight against the invading Baiyue soldiers... The tactical level of Kong Xun, the contemporary general of the Bolang Army, is only as good as It can be said that it is not bad, if the military strength is superior, he may be able to wrestle with the Baiyue people, but if the military strength is not dominant, he will not be able to bear the heavy responsibility of resisting the Baiyue people!

Meng Yi took the order immediately, but he was a little shocked by the high expectations of the king for Bai Qi.

He was about to leave the imperial room and rush to the attendant's room to make preparations, when he saw Fan Zeng and another member of Jin Yiwei from the third grade Tongzhi come in.

Seeing this combination, the hearts of everyone in the bathroom thumped.

"What's wrong again?"

Chen Sheng asked, his face turned from sunny to rainy.

Fan Zeng bit the bullet and replied: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent battle report from the northwest..."

"Northwest? Hexi Corridor?"

Chen Sheng frowned, and the strong aura of violence made everyone feel terrified: "Where's the information?"

Meng Yi quickly walked in front of another fellow Jinyiwei, took the two secret letters he handed over, and checked them carefully.

Zhou Cang secretly looked at Pao Ze, winked secretly and said, "When did it happen?" '

The man gave him a look back: "After you enter the palace. '

Chen Sheng took a look at the two letters, and it turned out that they were of the same type as Beijiang's secret letter, one with Ying Zheng's name on it, and one with Li Xin on it.

These letters were deciphered and transcribed by professionals after they arrived in Jinling. As for the originals from outside, it is estimated that they have already been transcribed locally...

He took apart the two letters and compared them for a quick glance.

There are some differences between Yingzheng's letters and Liu Bang's letters.

In Liu Bang's letter, there was not a single nonsense that had nothing to do with the situation of the Baiyue Army. What was revealed between the lines was a feeling of aggrieved and unyielding that he could not get used to Chen Sheng, and dared not turn against him.

In the letter sent by Ying Zheng, besides the movements of the Hu people, there was a few more words that he would help contain the enemy's troops, but he couldn't guarantee how far he could do it. After all, his troops were only [-] to [-]. It can't be used to great effect... Although it is down, this pattern is coming up!
All in all, Liu Bang's information is clearer and more accurate, and one can tell at a glance that it must have come from a professional [-]-year-old boy.

But Ying Zheng's information is much more blurred, just like a passer-by watching, all he knows is that these people are going to invade Kyushu along the Hexi Corridor, and it seems that there are quite a lot of troops...

I don't know the rest!
After Chen Sheng glanced around, he casually threw the two secret letters into Meng Yi's arms: "Send another royal decree to Li Xin, ordering him to command the White Tiger Military Region and guard the Hexi Corridor. Be sure not to let one Hu people, set foot on my Han territory with a sword!"

Meng Yi took the order immediately.

After Chen Sheng finished speaking, the five people in the hall looked outside the hall at the same time, and when they saw no one came in, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Sheng knew what they were thinking, and his heart was heavy, not as relaxed as theirs, but he didn't say anything more, but said: "Go down and prepare, everything... will wait until the founding ceremony is over, and then we will continue to work together." Discussion!"

The four of them bowed their hands together and saluted: "The old minister (for the minister) retires, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Chen Sheng waved his big sleeves, and the four of them bowed and exited the bathroom.

After the door was closed again, Chen Sheng slowly turned around and faced the north.

……

The big music played.

Among tens of thousands of people lined the road to welcome, Chen Sheng wore a black gold Kowloon gown, an eighteen-pronged crown and a flat sky crown, holding three animals and grains in his hands, and led his officials out of the west gate to the altar in front of the Shrine of Heroes!

The altar has nine floors and nine steps on each floor, with a total height of nine feet and nine. Eight of the nine tripods are displayed on the four sides. Yuzhou, the head of Kyushu, is also called the central tripod. On the top of the altar, nine ancient and majestic tripods Among them, everything is burning with raging fire...

Before the altar, all the officials stopped, and only Chen Sheng stepped onto the altar alone!
At the right time, the [-] soldiers of the Han army displayed in front of the altar sang "No Clothes" in unison.
Chen Sheng climbed up step by step.

Every step he took, the pressure on him became stronger!
With every step he took, his posture became more proud and upright!
Even the nine golden dragons on his uniform seemed to come alive, winding and circling around his body, setting off his heroic appearance, so tall!

The top of the altar is still the same as Dayi, which he proclaimed himself king back then, with only the spirit seats of the Three Sovereigns and Five Sovereigns listed.

He offered three animals to the Three Emperors and five grains to the Five Emperors, and solemnly bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to the Three Emperors and Five Emperors.

After the ceremony, he got up and took out the sacrificial oration from his bosom, mobilized the essence of his body, and recited loudly like thunder: "Three emperors and five emperors are above, and all people live below, and all the ghosts and gods of the heavens are listening!"

"When the week loses its deer, the whole world chases after it!"

"Victory adheres to public opinion, rises from the humble beginnings, fights south and north, and wins the world for seven years..."
