"Auspicious auspiciousness has come to the world, auspicious auspiciousness has come to the world!"
"All gods and gods bless me for the great week!"
"Long Live Long Live Your Majesty!"
Looking at the chaotic scene in front of the main gate of the palace, like a dance of demons, and then looking at the hot air balloons floating on the city gate, Sun Shaozong was speechless and admiring.
This hot air balloon was originally a tool used by political enemies to escape, but it was turned into an auspicious auspicious by Emperor Guangde!
Even without a teacher, he invented the method of drawing banners with hot air balloons.
Looking at it from a distance, strips of red silk and gold characters are fluttering in the wind, as if a supermarket chain is opening a reward.
Not to mention, in terms of liveliness, they are really comparable!
However, this scene of universal celebration is not a good thing for Zhao Liben and the yamen under him.
If you glance at it casually, you can see the busy figures of the officials of the Salt and Iron Division.
As for Sun Shaozong, his only task now is to guard the hundreds of sedan chairs, so that after the birthday banquet is over, he will escort the old men home.
Those ordinary old men naturally didn't need him to escort him in person, but there were several senior officials in the court. If these people also arranged for yamen or scribes to escort them, it would be too condescending.
Less gossip.
But he said that the night was getting darker, and it was almost time to leave.
Sun Shaozong stood up and greeted: "Tell me the names of the old people who are to be picked up! Later, Zhou Jian and the others will roll their names three times. If no one has responded, don't blame this official for being ruthless!"
All the yamen servants and bearers responded with a bang.
Just to pick up the more than 200 old men who are celebrating their birthdays, all the sedan chairmen have practiced six or seven times, not to mention that every ten sedan chairs are assigned two yamen to look after them. There is no cure.
Sun Shaozong winked again, and Zhao Wuwei and a few catchers ran to greet each other again, asking the bearers to solve the physiological problems first, so as not to delay the business.
As for Sun Shaozong himself, he personally went to find Zhao Liben and asked him to clear a large enough space on the west side of the main gate of the palace.
When everything was ready, Zhou Da shouted 'Get up from the sedan chair', and more than 200 sedan chairs were put on their shoulders, trembling and swaying, and went straight to the Meridian Gate.
By the time they arrived at the Wumen Gate, a group of bearers, under the command of the yamen, roughly set up a fan.
Just like this, it took another quarter of an hour or so before I saw a lot of bright heads and beards gushing out from the brightly lit city gate tower.
Zhao Wuwei hurriedly moved the colorful flags on his shoulders, and hundreds of bearers and yamen roared in unison, "Shun Tianfu has ordered to welcome the old birthday stars back to the residence."
Welcoming and sending off these old men was originally a laborious and thankless job, so Sun Shaozong deliberately rehearsed this show, after all, it was considered to be under the roots of the imperial city, giving him a sense of presence.
When the old men heard the roar, they all adjusted their direction a little and walked towards this side.
As soon as I walked, I saw that many people were swaying. At first Sun Shaozong thought he was drunk, but when he got closer, he realized that was not the case.
After all, the old men are already in their 70s and 80s. It is said that they are old and strong, but after this birthday banquet has been boiled down for several hours, it is also reasonable that they will be in low spirits.
Sun Shaozong hurriedly led more than a dozen scribes to come forward to meet him, and he helped the one who couldn't hold on to the sedan chair first.
Zhou Da asked the names one by one, and the scribes immediately announced in unison. Every time a person's name was reported, a special bearer came forward to answer.
As for the elders of the court officials, they have already greeted them.
As soon as he left the palace gate, he went straight to the green tweed sedan chairs that were carried by the four of them. Not only were they arranged far beyond the others, they even prepared some snacks like preserved hawthorn to help them digest.
"You two are good friends!"
However, Sun Shaozong saw that all the people here had arrived, and after explaining to Zhou Da and Zhao Wuwei, he also got on his horse and said loudly: "The lower official will pass the sentence to Sun Shaozong and escort a few adults back to the house."
The selected sedan chairmen immediately picked up the sedan chairs and followed Sun Shaozong steadily.
Speechless all the way.
By the time the six old men were delivered according to the rank, the sky was already empty.
Sun Shaozong took out his pocket watch and looked at it. He was determined to go back to the mansion to rest, but after all, he couldn't worry about Zhou Da and Zhao Wuwei's side.
Who would have guessed that it was not long before they ran out, and saw a team approaching Yingyingchaochuo in front of them. The twenty or so brightly armored and brightly armored soldiers seemed to be soldiers from the Huben Battalion. A large group of people in the back were dressed in ink and swallowing clouds, but there were dozens of them. Dragon guard.
And in the center of the dozens of dragon guards is a bright yellow sedan chair!
In the middle of the night, Hu Benying and Long Jingwei put together such a big battle...
Sun Shaozong didn't even think about it, so he was ready to turn his horse's head and retreat.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the horse's buttocks came over, he saw a team behind him catching up. Looking at the costumes, it was vaguely the people who were escorting the old man by Shuntianfu.
Really special mother's bad luck home!
Sun Shaozong cursed inwardly, but he immediately straightened the horse's head again, and while galloping towards the rogue army, he shouted loudly, "There is an ambush ahead, retreat!"
The forty-odd yamen who were in charge of leading the way had all met Sun Shaozong, but the two holding the Shuntian Mansion lanterns on the opposite side were all unfamiliar faces!
In addition, when Sun Shaozong turned into the intersection, he clearly did not see any team.
Therefore, those people either sprinted directly at the speed of the 100-meter race; or, they had long been ambushed in the darkness, and only temporarily lit the lanterns until the motley army on the opposite side appeared.
Adding these two items together is enough for Sun Shaozong to make a correct judgment!
Hearing Sun Shaozong's loud warning, the opposite team suddenly became riotous, and then a few people dressed as dragon guards came out, and said loudly: "You are..."
hum ~ hum hum ~
Before I could hear what those idiots were asking, I heard a rumble of bowstrings on both sides!
There is also an ambush on the roof!
Sun Shaozong was shocked, he hurriedly used a stirrup to hide, and shrank under the horse's belly!
duh~
At the same time, I heard a muffled sound on the horse's back, but a sharp arrow was nailed to the saddle!
so close!
Fortunately, I avoided in time, otherwise...
Sun Shaozong was rejoicing, but suddenly he felt something sticky, sticky, hot, dripping down his fingers onto his wrist.
Blood? !
Sun Shaozong was startled again, knowing that his saddle was not cheap, and it would be difficult to pierce it with a simple sword.
There are only two possibilities to shoot through this saddle with one arrow.
One is that the bow strength is extremely strong, and the arm strength of the archer is also extremely strong;
But no matter what kind it is, it doesn't seem to be good news for Sun Shaozong!
