The sound of horseshoes is like a rolling flood, and the waves are raging.
Every sound knocks on the heartstrings, and a touch of shock is involuntarily raised in people's hearts.
In the palace.
The ministers of civil and military affairs, imperial family kinsmen, and Fanbang envoys all had panic on their faces.
The ministers of civil and military affairs and the royal family felt that some people might take advantage of the slack defense of Bianjing City on New Year's Eve to make trouble.
The envoys of Fanbang felt that Da Song wanted to kill them while they were gathered together, and then set off the war.
Among the crowd, the only ones who were as calm as water were only four.
Zhao Zhen, Kou Zhun, Kou Ji, Chen Lin.
At the moment the sound of horseshoes sounded, the four of them guessed where the horseshoes came from.
Cao Lili was also one of the insiders, but he seemed to have something on his mind, looking sadly at the direction of the Queen Mother's palace.
Li Di and Wang Zeng were also disturbed by the sound of horseshoes, but after seeing Zhao Zhen's complexion as usual, they felt relieved a lot.
Li Di lowered his voice and asked Kou Zhun who was sitting beside him, "Brother Pingzhong, do you know what?"
Old God Kou Zhun said: "Don't be restless..."
Hearing this, Li Di looked at each other with Wang Zeng and stopped talking.
Kou Zhun is like Jiang Taigong sitting on the Diaoyutai, which means that the sound of horseshoes outside the palace is only in the hands of the court.
Since it is in the hands of the court, there is no danger.
Just wait and see the changes.
Kou Zhun glanced at Zhao Zhen on the dragon chair. Zhao Zhen saw his gaze, nodded secretly, and coughed lightly in the whispers of the ministers of civil and military affairs and the envoys of Fanbang.
Standing next to his dragon chair, Chen Lin hurriedly took a cold drink.
"quiet!"
There was silence in the hall.
Zhao Zhen's voice slowly sounded in the hall, "Chen Lin, send someone to see why the sound of horseshoes outside the city comes from..."
"Slaves obey orders."
Chen Lin ordered the will and left the hall.
Zhao Zhen looked around at the minister of civil and military affairs and the envoy of Panbang, and said lightly: "You Aiqing, don't need to panic. I have sent someone to investigate the sound of horseshoes outside the city.
After the investigation is clear, the doubts in your hearts will naturally be solved. "
"Officials, horseshoes outside the city are like thunder, and there is a faint attitude of marching troops, and you have to guard against it. You should transfer the Tianwu and hold the Japanese army to Beijing.
Wang Qinruo arched his hands and made an ugly suggestion.
Wang Qinruo was a little upset, and his eyes stayed on Zhao Yuanyan for a moment. After seeing Zhao Yuanyan sullenly and shook his head, his mind became even more unstable.
He was a little suspicious, was it because he and Zhao Yuanyan had been conspiring secretly to be discovered
Then the court used New Year’s Eve to clear them...
Under everyone's gaze, Zhao Zhen said faintly: "Be safe and restless... I believe that the soldiers guarding the border will never allow any foreign enemies to invade our Song Dynasty.
I also believe in the soldiers guarding inside and outside the city of Bianjing, and I believe that they can protect me and you all no matter what difficulties they face. "
As soon as Zhao Zhen said this, Manchu Wenwu looked at him differently.
The generals looked at Zhao Zhen's eyes, which became a little hotter.
That is the excitement shown after being trusted.
The civil servants looked at Zhao Zhen's eyes with more doubts and solemnity.
Zhao Zhen's continuity in the face of danger made the Manchu civil and military realize that the officials had grown and matured.
In the future, they must treat the official family in a different way, and can no longer treat the official family as a child.
After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he sat quietly, and the minister of civil and military affairs, the envoy of Fanbang, and the royal family members sat quietly with him.
About two sticks of incense has passed.
Chen Lin sent out the Yuqianwei to investigate the news. He entered the hall and knelt on one knee in full view. He said: "Qi, the official, there is a soldier and horse outside the city, and they rushed to the city of Bianjing overnight, saying that it was the inner court. , Privy Council transfer order, settled in Beijing.
Now waiting for the official's order outside the city gate. "
"Naughty!"
Hearing the movement of a soldier and horse into Beijing, Wang Qinruo breathed a sigh of relief, raised his eyes and yelled.
The ministers of civil and military affairs and the royal family members were relieved after hearing the news, and then followed Wang Qinruo and accused the soldiers outside the city.
The look on the Fanbang envoy's face was somewhat different.
After the crisis was lifted, what they first considered was not pointing at the soldiers and horses outside the city, but thinking secretly about the intention of the Song court to dispatch soldiers and horses to Beijing on New Year’s Eve, a crucial day.
Zhao Zhen coldly watched the ministers of civil and military affairs and the royal family roar, and said nothing.
Kou Zhun let out a cold snort when the ministers of civil and military affairs and the royal family were almost roaring, "Enough..."
Kou Zhun looked at everyone and said coldly: "The soldiers and horses outside the city, no matter which one. They can march on New Year's Eve, and follow the court's orders. This is enough to show that they are far better than ordinary soldiers and horses. Know the rules better and abide by the rules.
If it is wrong to follow the rules
So what does the court need so many rules and so many laws to do
You were just startled by them, so he accused them wantonly.
The old man really didn't dare to think about how many soldiers had been encroached on when he was in the army and served as the supervising army in the past. "
Kou Zhun's words hit the hearts of the military officials in the palace, and they all spoke out to help.
Among the civil servants, some people felt that they were wrong, so they stopped talking.
Some people disagreed with Kou Zhun's words.
Wang Qinruo straightened his chest, stroked his beard, and said, "No matter how strong the rules are, you must be cautious about favors. They rushed to Beijing on New Year's Eve and disturbed the people in Bianjing. It was wrong."
They can definitely go to Bianjing City tomorrow day or the day after, or after the New Year's Day. "
Kou Zhun frowned when he heard this. Before he could speak, Cao Wei's voice rang.
"According to the king's department, even if there are thieves attacking the city, the soldiers and horses dispatched from various places can be delayed for some time before they arrive?"
Cao Wei's words were cold.
Wang Qinruo said indifferently: "The old man is just talking about things, and now there is no war. Cao Bingbu does not compare wartime rules with non-wartime rules. There is a big difference between the two."
Cao Wei snorted coldly, "I just want to tell Wang Libu what a military order is like a mountain."
Wang Qinruo said disdainfully: "When you military ministers lead soldiers on weekdays, many of you miss the hour..."
As soon as Cao Wei was about to refute, he listened to Gao Chugong interjecting: "That's not because the supervising army is at work..."
Wang Qinruo's eyes fell on Gao Chu Gong, "The supervising army is a system set by the Taizu. If there is no supervision by the supervising army, who knows what you will do with the soldiers and horses."
The high place squinted his eyes and snorted coldly: "My high mansion is up and down, and I am loyal to the officials and the court."
Wang Qinruo couldn't help but continue to sneer, "Loyal..."
"Boom!"
Half of what Wang Qinruo said, Zhao Zhen clapped the table and stood up.
"enough!"
Kou Zhun let out a cold snort, and he shut his mouth obediently.
Zhao Zhen glanced at Wang Qinruo, Gao Chugong and others, and asked the Yu Qianwei who was kneeling on one knee in the hall: "Which soldier and horse rushed to Bianjing overnight?"
Yu Qianwei hurriedly said: "If you return to the official's house, it will be your pro-army, the tiger army."
Wang Qinruo, Cao Wei, Gao Chugong and others were shocked when they heard this.
The emperor pro-army became an army in less than a year.
In the eyes of the civil and military forces of the Manchu dynasty, the emperor's pro-army was a mischief by Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen.
They didn't care about this soldier from beginning to end.
Anyway, this soldier Ma Chengjun will spend all the money in the future, and it will go to the national treasury and internal treasury instead of their private treasury and government treasury.
They didn't spend their own money to mess around, they naturally didn't care.
But judging from the sound of horseshoes outside the city just now, this emperor's pro-army was less than a year old, but it had a somewhat elite aura.
Wang Qinruo and other civil servants have been on the battlefield more or less. Although they don't understand military affairs, they still know clearly what is a good soldier and what is a bad soldier.
Needless to say, Cao Wei and others, they are all veterans on the battlefield. From the moment the hooves sounded, they distinguished the strength of the soldiers and horses outside the city.
The civil servants did not understand how difficult it is to train a good soldier.
But the military officials understood.
Within a short period of time, the emperor's pro-military army has gained a somewhat elite spirit.
The manpower and force consumed are unimaginable.
If the training continues, a strong army will appear.
They all looked at each other, it was hard to hide the shock in their eyes.
Wang Qinruo and others were not concerned about the strength of the soldiers and horses outside the city. After learning that the emperor's pro-army had so much fighting power, they had different thoughts.
"Official family, I wonder if you mobilize the emperor's pro-army..."
Wang Qinruo had just said halfway.
Seeing Zhao Zhen patted the case on his chest, he said with a slight excitement: "Okay! It is my army. Although I didn't see their demeanor, I listened to the sound of their horses hoof like a rainbow. Is clear.
They did not live up to my love, nor did they live up to my expectations of them. "
Wang Qinruo abruptly swallowed the remaining half of the words into his stomach, watching where Zhao Zhen was bragging.
After Zhao Zhen finished his bragging about the tiger character, he said loudly: "Summon them into the palace to see you."
As soon as this remark came out.
Kou Zhun, Li Di, and Wang Zeng couldn't sit still.
Kou Zhun arched his hands and said in a deep voice: "Officials, dispatching soldiers and horses to the palace late at night may cause unreasonable speculation and panic among the people in Bianjing. Moreover, the four gates of the outer city and the inner city have been locked. Unexpectedly."
Li Di and Wang Zeng nodded afterwards.
Seeing this, Zhao Zhen said with regret: "I can't wait to see my army... However, the three Aiqing said that tonight is New Year's Eve, and let them go to Beijing and disturbed the people. It's not beautiful."
The three Kou Zhun nodded slowly after hearing the words.
Zhao Zhen gave up the idea of summoning the tiger army under the advice of the three of Kou Zhun, and said: "Since my army can't enter the city, then call the tiger army commander and deputy commander to Beijing."
The Tiger Army has only 10,000 people. Although there is an army, it does not have an army.
After three reorganizations, the Tiger Army’s military system has undergone certain changes. There are four high-level military systems, including control, command, generals, and generals.
Kou Ji is currently in charge of the Tiger Army, and directly reports to Zhao Zhen.
Kou Ji, the tiger character army control, is just a nickname.
The soldiers and horses of the Tiger Army are currently under the control of the commander and deputy commander.
Chen Lin heard Zhao Zhen's order and immediately sent someone to pass the order.
After nightfall.
The four gates of the inner city and outer city of Bianjing will all be locked.
Except for special edicts issued by officials, the gates of the city are generally not opened.
If someone wants to enter Beijing under special circumstances, the guards will use the hanging baskets on the crenels to hang them into the city.
It was the time for two sticks of incense again.
One big and one small, two figures, dressed in armor, entered the hall.
The big figure, the posture is slightly burly, and the dark armor is taut, giving a sense of heaviness.
The small figure, the figure looks small, is also a dark armor, the steps are firm, giving a sense of calmness.
The two entered the hall.
Kneeling on one knee under everyone's attention.
"Chen Diqing see the official house..."
"Chen Zhu You see the official family..."
Needless to say Di Qing, Zhu You is the figure that looks small.
Zhu Yunai was Zhu Neng's associate, and since Zhu Neng joined the army, he followed Zhu Neng to fight in the north and south.
Although he is not as good as Zhu Neng and has not established any great achievements, he is very calm.
When Kou Ji asked Di Qing to take charge of the tiger army, he was afraid that Di Qing was young and could not hold the scene, so he asked Zhu Neng to get Zhu You and assist Di Qing.
The ministers of civil and military affairs met Di Qing and Zhu You with different expressions.
Li Zi stared at both of them for a while. After focusing on Di Qing, he frowned and said, "Mian Jun actually wears a mask. You are despising officials."
Cao Wei looked at Di Qing's figure with very complicated eyes.
Di Qing is his proud disciple and his niece and son-in-law.
Although he didn't want to admit this niece, he didn't try to suppress him either.
Instead, he still admires Di Qing.
Seeing Li Zi's reprimand, Cao Wei said indifferently: "Is that a mask? That's a visor. The military minister returns with his troops, without edicts and no dismantling."
Cao Wei's words not only left Li Zitong speechless.
The courtiers who wanted to talk through Di Qing's mask also closed their mouths.
Zhao Zhen stared at Di Qing, looked at Di Qing's slightly burly body, and the heavy aura on Di Qing's body, nodded in satisfaction.
"Remove the visor and let me look at you. The commander of my army..."
But when it comes to my own things, I can't help but show a touch of intimacy when I face it.
So when Zhao Zhen talked to Di Qing, his tone was very gentle.
"Hey..."
Di Qing agreed with his hands and removed the mask.
Although he has been weather-beaten and has grown a lot, it is still difficult to conceal the childishness on his face.
More importantly, as time honed, his handsome face, with some traces of slashing and chiseling, appeared to be more handsome.
After seeing Di Qing's face, those princesses, princess lord and others in the hall were a little lost.
Not only them, but some civil and military ministers, after seeing Di Qing's face, were also a little lost.
Zhao Zhen also lost his senses for a moment.
He heard Chen Lin and Kou Ji talk about Di Qing's handsome appearance, but he didn't expect him to be so handsome.
"Aiqing is really... different."
Zhao Zhen didn't know how to praise Di Qing, so he simply said that he was different.
Di Qing's reputation is not obvious. Although he has been in the government for two years, he has fought several battles, but there is not much that can be told about the achievements of the minister of civil and military affairs.
