Chapter 209 Anyone who dares to call himself a soldier will be killed! Won victory! (Thanks to Xie Xiaoyi for the monthly ticket~)
In fact, as early as the beginning of the year, the Ministry of Rites had a lot of discussions, or disputes, about the ceremony on the Wanshou Festival.
In the end, it took nearly half a month for the Ministry of Rites to discuss a rough prototype internally. The Minister of Rites went to see Emperor Wu with the agreed upon information.
Emperor Wu read it once and found it uninteresting and very dissatisfied.
However, she did not directly say yes or no to her face. Instead, she announced the remaining five ministers and three prime ministers directly in the side hall next to the Xuande Hall where Emperor Wu approved the book. It can also be said to be a small In the meeting hall, I discussed with them all afternoon on how to organize the ceremony on the Wanshou Festival.
Until it was time to light the lamp, more than a dozen people had not come up with a suitable charter that everyone could agree with and be satisfied with.
It was almost the curfew, and Emperor Wu didn't even leave any food, but sent them away directly, asking them to wait until the discussion was finalized before presenting her with the brochure.
Then just like this, we started bickering intermittently from the beginning of the year until the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Later, with great difficulty, a version came out. Several big bosses in the three provinces and six departments were quite satisfied with the prototype. The result was presented to Emperor Wu, but Emperor Wu himself was very dissatisfied.
Emperor Wu threw the book on the table and said angrily to Lou Shide: "Zong Ren, I am not old enough to know my destiny. How come I am so old that I have to sit in chariot (niǎn)?"
Emperor Wu was so angry that he walked to the table again and picked up the booklet again. "Zongren, listen, listen," Emperor Wu read out the words on the booklet: "The saint came out of the Daming Palace and took a chariot. To the city tower. "
Emperor Wu threw the book on the table again, "Haha, the distance from the Daming Palace to the base of the imperial city is not even five thousand feet, and they actually want me to ride in the chariot? "
Lou Shide stood there without saying a word, listening quietly to Emperor Wu, who was raging for a quarter of an hour about the fact that the Ministry of Rites allowed her to sit in a chariot and not let her ride a horse.
When Lou Shide saw Emperor Wu sitting down and Wang Dajue came over to serve Emperor Wu a cup of tea, he bowed his head and said: "Sage, calm down. The saint is not satisfied with this. Wait until the Ministry of Etiquette changes it. I will come again to consult the sage. In this case, I will retire.”
When Emperor Wu heard that Lou Shide had called himself a minister, he understood that he was probably dissatisfied with his request to ride a horse, so he smiled: "Mr. Lou." I’m in a hurry, it’s time for lunch, so stay and eat with me.”
Lou Shide rolled his eyes in his heart, but he saluted again on his face: "Yes, thank the saint for giving you food."
Then, Lou Shide went back and sent a message to the Minister of Rites, and quickly, Emperor Wu If you want to ride a horse instead of a car, change it quickly.
In this way, it was changed to Emperor Wu riding a horse from Daming Palace to the Imperial City.
Then, intensifying the situation, Emperor Wu asked that since they were all on horseback, they should go out of the city gate to see my Chang'an.
How could these ministers agree to Emperor Wu's somewhat crazy request? From the three prime ministers down to the six ministers, they all cited scriptures, from the ancient emperors to the Emperor Gaozong, what kind of gentleman can't Standing under a dangerous wall, a good emperor cannot be willful.
At this time, there were all kinds of people in Chang'an City, and everyone unanimously disagreed that it was enough for Emperor Wu to leave the imperial city and stand at the city tower to accept the audience of the people and small countries. Emperor Wu was absolutely not allowed to risk the great power. Risk riding out of the imperial city like this.
Even Xue Yao, who was standing at the bottom, felt a little dissatisfied.
You must know that the matter at the Temple Gate is not over yet. Who knows whether their madman Holy Son will come to Boerda during this Longevity Festival?
Xue Yao didn't even have to guess, he knew that the Holy Son was definitely going to cause trouble during the Wanshou Festival.
The question is how will he cause trouble?
This is already very difficult to guard against.
If something happened to Emperor Wu in Chang'an after he left the imperial city that day, no one would be able to bear the responsibility and consequences.
When Emperor Wu heard them mention Gaozong, he was a little embarrassed.
But who is Emperor Wu?
The first centralized ruler in the world who, as a woman, holds the first place in the world, the second place in the world, and her third position, will she compromise because of these words? Emperor Wu asked Yao Chong, the Minister of War, on the spot: "Yuanzhi, now I have to worry about running horses in Chang'an city? Isn't this Chang'an my Chang'an? Isn't the Lord of the Tang Dynasty not me?"
The three questions asked by Emperor Wu were really difficult for those present to answer. Lou Shide took the lead and knelt down and said: "The saint calms down."
When Lou Shide knelt on the ground, he felt in his heart I was thinking: "I'm afraid these ministers have forgotten how many people were beheaded on the high platform built in Zhuque Square when Emperor Wu ascended the throne.
The bloody smell didn't last until after a heavy rain. There is still a hint of it.
After being in power for so many years, Emperor Wu has become gentle, but that is just because Emperor Wu wants to be gentle. She is not forced to be gentle under the control of her subordinates. "
The entire hall was silent, so quiet that you could actually hear a pin drop.
Suddenly, a "dong" sound was heard as the breastplate was struck hard, and a military general kneeling behind Yao Chong shouted loudly: "Anyone who dares to call himself a soldier will be killed! Victory! Long live the saint!" Long live!"
After this person said it once, he said it again at the top of his lungs.
Anyone who dares to call himself a soldier will be killed!
Won victory!
Long live the saint!
Then, the rest of the Ministry of War did not think it was a big deal, they all made fists with their right hands and knocked on the left breastplate, and then they shouted. After these strong men shouted, the door of the main hall was opened. Standing still, the Jinwu guards standing guard outside the door could not be heard.
When the third shout sounded, a dozen Jinwu guards standing outside the door started shouting together.
Anyone who dares to call himself a soldier will be killed!
Won victory!
Long live the saint!
In this way, the shouting spread from the Jinwu guards at the entrance of the hall to the outside of the hall, and then to the entire Daming Palace.
The momentum is huge and extraordinary.
In this situation, who can say that Emperor Wu will not be allowed to ride out of the imperial city on the Wanshou Festival?
Who dares not to let Emperor Wu see her Chang'an and her Tang Dynasty?
Who dares?
Who is the enemy of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty!
Lou Shide's head touched the ground, he kept rolling his eyes in his heart, and cursed, "These guys in the Ministry of War are so arrogant. It's just that the ministers and the monarch have some disagreements. Why do they have to shout out the slogan? Madman." "
So, a few days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Ministry of Rites finally came up with a process that could satisfy Emperor Wu.
It’s just that if Emperor Wu really wanted to leave the imperial city on the Wanshou Festival, ride a horse through Zhuque Street to Mingde Gate, and then leave Mingde Gate to review the soldiers at Shilippo, the Ministry of War would have Together with the Beijing Suburban Camp, the Jinwu Guards, and the Guards, their workload has increased a lot.
Not to mention, after the review, they have to return to Chang'an to accept gifts from the people on the Imperial City Tower.
They need to do more work here.
Of course, others should not be idle either. After all, there will be a luncheon held at Tai Chi Palace later, and Emperor Wu will also have to accept gifts from princes, nobles, ministers of aristocratic families, envoys from various countries, and all other procedures. After walking, it’s time to watch the show and eat.
In short, no one wants to be idle!
