Early in the fifth day of August, the school grounds in the northeast of the inner city were filled with dust and sand.
It is called the schoolyard, which is a large area of compacted muddy open space, which is still slippery and muddy when it rains.
There is a horse racing pasture to the north, but at this time there is already dry grass everywhere and it is very desolate.
Guo Shao was ordered to take hundreds of cavalry into the school ground from the southern camp gate first, controlling the eastern barriers; in the northeast, Shi Yanchao led the elite cavalry of the east and west classes to come one after another.
Guo Shao looked at the school field and saw people, horses, armor, swords and guns, and square formations were like artificially cultivated forests. He had seen many such scenes... Generally, it was much better to see from the front, and only if he went to the back of the army could he find many problems.
The national treasury is not able to create more than 100,000 pairs of full-body ring mail, and even less than one-third of the soldiers of the imperial guards can equip the armor assigned by the court, and some of the wealthy families bring their own.
These soldiers with complete armor and armor are in front of each other, both during school inspection and during combat, and are the most elite; so they all look like iron armor on the school and on the battlefield, which is very imposing.
It is generally difficult to see clearly where it is too far behind.
But almost every soldier of the imperial guards has some armor, because everyone has some military pay, and going to battle is a life-threatening task. Those who have not got armor will find ways to get some heart protection mirrors, helmets, and shoulder armor to protect the vital parts; there will also be simple hard-skinned armor and iron sheets in other places... they don't look that good-looking.
Zhang Yongde and other generals in front of the hall had already arrived in front of him, but Guo Shao's troops did not come forward as a guard.
I saw Zhang Yongde, surrounded by heavy riders, with a big red cloak on his back, floating in the wind, and several flags around him crackled in the wind.
In the gap between the square formation of people and horses, many generals riding horses ran out while shouting, gathering to Zhang Yongde, yelling to report military affairs.
This scene seems familiar. Guo Shao remembered that he was still in the Xiaodi Army a few years ago. Even when he was a young general in the predecessor of this Iron Cavalry, he also saw Zhang Yongde's mighty and noble style from afar.
But now, Guo Shao was just watching him from the side, no longer feeling awe.
Rumble... At this moment, another dense sound of horse hooves sounded.
Guo Shao turned his head and looked, and a cavalry with brand new armor and weapons came neatly, rows of knights holding their heads and chests, and the iron and gorgeous cloaks were still raised in the wind.
At first glance, they were the horse soldiers in the inner palace. In terms of appearance, the group of people in the inner palace were dressed the best and the team was the most neat... I heard that they looked and origin were also very good.
Sure enough, Guo Shao saw that the military general who led the army seemed to be Du Chenggui.
After a group of horse soldiers, several large trucks filled with copper coins rushed in... The soldiers on the school ground were upset when they saw it and immediately discussed.
The court is quite rich.Luo Mengzi muttered, I don’t know if we have a share.
Behind, we saw a group of palace maids and eunuchs coming with a large sedan chair with court ceremonies. The sedan chair was carried squarely by more than a dozen people, very generous and imposing.
Those palace ladies were wearing purple and blue round neck robes, but they were not walking around in skirts.
The generals on Zhang Yongde's side knelt on one knee in front of the sedan chair and met on weekdays, but they didn't see each other for a long time.
Soon, the eunuch Cao Tai got on the horse and ran towards Guo Shao, and Guo Shao hurriedly flipped off the horse.
Cao Tai said: The Empress Dowager ordered General Guo to protect the emperor.
The minister received the order.Guo Shao responded with his fists, called on the cavalry around him to deploy to the right side of the ceremony, and ran forward together.
When he arrived in front of the sedan chair, Guo Shao dismounted and walked forward to salute with the military generals present, loudly said: My minister Guo Shao is ordered to see him.
Flat body.The voice inside said at this time.
The generals got up one after another, and many people couldn't help but look at Guo Shao quietly.
At this moment, the eunuch Yang Shiliang sang: Falling the sedan chair!More than a dozen men put down the sedan chair steadily and slowly.
The palace maids on both sides lifted the curtains in front of the sedan chair, and saw a man burying his head and walking out from inside. It was the Empress Dowager Jinzhan.
Her image suddenly made everyone around her stunned. Fu Jinzhan wore a silk tulle head and a purple round-necked official robe!
She looked very generous, and she even saved the hood after taking off her mourning clothes... The emperor often wore official uniforms, and everyone was used to it; the empress dowager seemed to dress like the regent now, but it looked very strange.
With a tall and dignified figure, the beautiful hair on both sides of the hat, noble and arrogant temperament, this generous head gives Fu Jinzhan a little more heroic.
She felt a sense of confidence like a noble and noble family, and immediately made the school ground with more vivid vitality.
But her skin is smooth and white, with beautiful eyes and white teeth, red lips and white teeth... In her dignified and decent appearance, there is a smile in her curved and bright eyes, and she is a bit charming.
Everyone couldn't help but bent down and saluted her respectfully and admirably. The eunuchs hurriedly spread purple silk on the ground.
At this time Fu Jinzhan straightened her neck and walked down from the sedan chair calmly.
Although she was wearing a dark material robe, she felt so clean that she was flawless and even the soles of her shoes were spotless. She was originally the most powerful person in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and this kind of show was not too much.
While kneeling on the ground and laying the carpet, the eunuchs walked to the bottom of the yellow umbrella cover used by the emperor on the platform and knelt down on the couch placed above.
Facing more than 10,000 troops in the wind, he remained motionless.
She croaked left and right, like green leaves, setting off her demeanor and temperament.
Fu Jinzhan was so outstanding that for a moment, thousands of people looked at each other, leaving only the sound of the wind.
People's attention was on her, even if she said nothing except a flat sentence.
I'm afraid even if she is not the queen mother, she will be a highly anticipated person...beautiful, intuitive, strong, domineering and unrestrained.
The eunuch Yang Shiliang bowed his head and bent over and walked forward.Fu Jinzhan said softly with a glance.
At this time, Yang Shiliang stepped forward and shouted: The Empress Dowager’s order, the generals of the Iron Cavalry Head and above, and generals from all armies came forward to listen to the lecture!
A row of cavalry rode their horses into the army and shouted again.
Soon, many generals rode out and gathered in front of the ceremonial war, with a total of one or two hundred people.
People dismounted and came to line up in front.
Everyone was talking while looking at the copper coins installed in the car next to them. Although the wind blew the smoke, they were in good mood.
I had to give me a reward before. It's not bad now. I don't have to travel to war and get rewards. I just stand here for a while and give face to the superiors. It's not a problem at all.
But the discussion stopped very soon.
Fu Jinzhan waved her hand and saw a man with hand and legs shackles being taken out of a carriage, Zhao Pu.
Many generals of the Iron Cavalry Army have seen this person, at least they are familiar with each other.
Things seemed to be getting a little bit bad.
Everyone remained silent for a while.Guo Shao returned to the front of his personal Ma Bing and watched a good show above with great interest.
Zhao Pu walked onto the stage with his anklet dejectedly, huh...huh... The sound of the iron chain dragging on the ground became more and more miserable.
At this moment, an eunuch stepped forward and pulled out a yellow dress from his bag. Suddenly, he shook in front of him, and the brightly colored dragon robe suddenly appeared in the eyes of the generals and the army.
Everyone was in an uproar.
Zhao Pu!Was this thing seized from you?The eunuch said harshly.
Zhao Pu nodded helplessly.
The eunuch shouted: Speak!Zhao Pu had no choice but to say: Yes, the things Zhao Kuangyin gave me to keep were unfortunately surrendered.The eunuch said again: Zhao Kuangyin was defeated that day, fled in a hurry and encountered pursuers on the road. Was this thing seized in public?
yes.Zhao Pu said in his voice.
Guo Shao observed carefully and saw that Zhang Yongde's face was already very ugly.
The eunuch on the stage shouted: Zhao Kuangyin and others formed cliques for personal gain and cultivated clerks. When they learned that the late emperor was seriously ill, they planned to rebel and usurp the throne early, right?!Zhao Pu said again: Yes.
After the eunuch asked, he hung the dragon robe on a wooden rack. Because the wind was strong, he tied it with a rope.
For a moment, the robe floated in public like a flag.
The two hundred generals and thousands of troops present looked at the thing in amazement.
An eunuch riding a horse immediately rode his horse to the front of the army. A tall and powerful man from a row of cavalry who had passed by stretched his neck and shouted the simple and direct question and answer just now.
At this moment, Fu Jinzhan sneered on her face, looked at the about 200 generals gathered under the platform, and spoke: Zhao Kuangyin used to be just a small general in Ma Zhi, Kaifeng Prefecture; the late emperor trusted him very much, and promoted him to serve as the commander-in-chief of the palace for several years.The grace of knowing the favor and trust of the Zhao family is strong; the grace of the royal family to the Zhao family is strong.
Her voice was calm and calm, and her rhythm was soothing and pleasant.Everyone listened silently.
Speaking of this, her eyebrows raised and her face suddenly became cold: But how did Zhao Kuangyin and others repay the grace of the late emperor!Now let everyone in the world see what Zhao Kuangyin’s party has done?
The common people still know that the grace of a drop of water will be repaid with each other, and the black bird will also feed back. Zhao Kuangyin's party has ulterior motives and will repay his kindness with hatred. How would the late emperor feel sad if he knew from heaven!Fu Jinzhan sighed, when Ai's family learned about this, they were very heartbroken.
After saying that, he looked at Cao Tai.
Everyone present stood in a daze, watching the scene on the stage speechlessly.
Cao Tai waved his hand, and a group of heavily armored horse soldiers came out from both sides and rushed to the back, blocking the back of a group of military generals. The generals suddenly became noisy and turned to look at the surrounding scenes.
Du Chenggui brought the knights dismounted from the horse in a row and stepped forward, blocking Fu Jinzhan's umbrella cover.
At this time, Cao Tai stepped forward and opened a roll of silk slightly, saying: Those who are chanting the names of the various families, stand up.Don’t dare to do it or not!
The second commander of the First Army of the Iron Cavalry, Li Yaozu!
The audience looked at each other, and Cao Tai turned his head and said: Please Zhang Jianbing and ask your general to go up and recognize people.
As soon as he finished speaking, a general was suddenly turned on and staggered out of the queue, standing there in panic.
It is called the schoolyard, which is a large area of compacted muddy open space, which is still slippery and muddy when it rains.
There is a horse racing pasture to the north, but at this time there is already dry grass everywhere and it is very desolate.
Guo Shao was ordered to take hundreds of cavalry into the school ground from the southern camp gate first, controlling the eastern barriers; in the northeast, Shi Yanchao led the elite cavalry of the east and west classes to come one after another.
