Chapter 1612 Demonstrating Martial Arts
In the square in front of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, a grand sacrifice was going on.
The solemn music echoed in the distance, and the ceremonial officer's voice was extremely far away, praying to the heavens.
In this side hall next to the square, the awkward atmosphere continued to spread.
If it was Chong Xuansheng, let alone being exposed in front of others for reading the erotic book, even if he was caught performing an erotic play, he would only be calm and not embarrassed at all.
As Dingyuan Hou said, Chong Xuanzun has a great disadvantage in terms of face.
Therefore, when Jiang Wang asked this question, Chong Xuanzun immediately closed the book unnaturally, and his handsome face, which was always unrestrained and calm, showed a bit of embarrassment.
After a pause, he said: "I didn't expect Brother Jiang to study farming."
"Okay, okay." Jiang Wang said expressionlessly: "My book is from the Tiandu Collection."
There was a moment of silence in the hall.
Then they spoke almost at the same time-
"Why does your book have illustrations?"
"My book is the Secret Spring Garden version."
And then they shut up at the same time.
Han Ling, the head of the internal officials of the Great Qi Dynasty and the chief eunuch, walked into the hall at this time. His pair of black boots made of unknown leather at least crushed the embarrassment.
"Master Jiang, Master Chongxuan." Han Ling said in a gentle voice: "The auspicious time has come."
For such a summons, any eunuch can do. Han Ling's personal visit naturally shows great importance.
The two stood up almost at the same time.
Jiang Wang bowed to Han Ling in a formal manner: "Thank you, eunuch."
Chongxuan Zun just nodded slightly to show his greeting.
The two national prides with very different personalities stepped out of the hall door like this, bathed in the brilliant light, and welcomed the gazes of the civil and military officials, ministers and princes.
Especially those who participated in the grand sacrifice today, and the envoys of forty-seven countries in the entire Eastern Region!
Among them, the one from Rongguo came as the prince. For example, the king of Zhao State came in person.
The Eastern Region countries came to pay tribute to the Great Qi!
Chong Xuanzun was naturally dressed in white clothes, more beautiful than snow, with an impeccable appearance.
Today, Jiang Wang was also carefully "dressed" by the ceremonial officer.
He always wore a blue robe, but today, this sky-blue long robe has an extraordinary texture. Only a few mountain shadows were drawn on the corners of the robe, and when he walked, the clothes were slightly rippled, and there was a haziness from the mist and rain.
He only had a long sword and a white jade tied on his waist, which was refreshing and bright.
In the past, his long hair was just tied into a bunch casually, but today it was tied with a green jade crown with flowing light and clear shadows.
So his angular face was more and more clearly reflected in the warm light.
Today, Jiang Wang is about to be twenty-one.
He has experienced too much and walked too long in the wind and frost.
He is no longer the handsome and stubborn boy.
His eyebrows are gentle, like the shadow of the mountain in the fog.
His eyes were still clear and bright, but at the bottom, there was a solidified cloud - that was the mark left by this world.
He no longer believed that this was a world of infinite light.
But after seeing all kinds of things in the world, chewing the pain, and trekking through the long road in the dark... he still remembered his initial mood.
After experiencing betrayal, he still had the courage to believe.
After seeing the darkness, he still walked towards the light.
His nose was straight, but not sharp. Just like him, he had his own pride, but he would not be overbearing.
His lips were gently pursed, and he naturally showed a kind of firmness.
At this moment, he did not show his edge, but you know that this is definitely not a person who is easily shaken.
Walking beside him, was a graceful nobleman, a top figure in Linzi.
With a wave of his hand and a lift of his foot, he moved the hearts of many noble ladies and girls in Linzi.
And he, Jiang Wang, walked calmly and parallel with him, and he was not inferior to him at all, like a banished immortal from the nine heavens, strolling in the fireworks of the world.
The civil and military officials in the court, as well as the envoys from various countries, were speechless for a moment when they looked at these two people.
In the entire Eastern Region, the most powerful gazes fell on them, and the visible and invisible pressure was stronger than the mountains and seas.
And the two figures in green shirts and snow-white clothes walked side by side, calm and free.
Like carrying thousands of mountains, like walking on a flower path.
Where in the world can't you go?
"Today I know that there are really such people in the world!" On the stands beside the square, the Crown Prince of Rong State murmured in amazement.
Lin Xian knelt beside him, looking at the familiar green shirt figure, and said nothing.
After Ouyang Yong died in the battle, Rong State could not do without the support of Qi State, so the Crown Prince of Rong State came to pay homage in person.
Lin Xian understood that from now on, the future of Rong State depended on him.
He didn't ask himself whether he could do it.
Life is like this, it's nothing more than seeing the mountain is high, so go to the mountain.
If one day he can be like Jiang Qingyang... he will have no regrets in this life.
At this moment, the tribute to the Imperial Ancestral Temple has reached its final stage.
Those who deserved titles and rewards were given titles and rewards, and only the last few important figures were left.
For example, the last Xia Emperor Si Cheng was granted the title of Anle Bo and a luxurious house in Xiashan to enjoy the rest of his life.
For example, Yu Liyang, who was known as the Peach Blossom Fairy, was directly granted the right to discuss matters in the Political Affairs Hall by the Emperor of Qi, and was appointed as the Shangqing, and was given the Frozen Snow Peach Garden in Bei County as a gift.
The generals who participated in the war in the Eastern Region, such as Yan Po and Lady Xidu, were all given generous gifts.
For those who unfortunately died in the war like Ouyang Yong, the Qi court also gave them generous condolences and gave Rongguo corresponding generous treatment.
Just in terms of military merits in the war against Xia.
Chong Xuanzun first performed martial arts in front of the army, and was the bravest among the three armies, and won the position of the vanguard of the war against Xia.
His bravery and sharpness also fully demonstrated the name of the vanguard.
If you cross the trap and get to the enemy's city first, you will have no chance of killing the enemy in battle.
In the northern battlefield of Linwu Prefecture, he was the first general to defeat the enemy city and won great merit. Of course, after reviewing the battle later, we found out that the first to break through the enemy city on the entire eastern front was the victorious battalion led by Jiang Wang and Chongxuan Sheng. The city that was destroyed was named Ximing.
After that, Chongxuan Zungu's army broke into the enemy's rear, guarded Ximing City, and fought with Daxia Anguo Marquis Jin Ling for several days, buying time for the overall breakthrough on the Linwu battlefield.
Chongxuansheng and Jiang Wangque defeated Honggu City, Xinjie City, and Dai City in succession. With almost a battalion, they penetrated the Xia Kingdom's eastern front and won the well-deserved first victory on the eastern front!
In this first skill on the eastern front, Chong Xuan Sheng has the skill of planning, and Jiang Wang has the skill of fighting. Overall, it was Chongxuan Sheng who took the main merit, surpassing Chongxuan Zun.
However, Chongxuanzun attacked Daye Mansion, attacked and killed the Qingling garrison, captured Qingling City, defeated the soldiers and invaded the imperial mausoleum, killed the guardian of Shenlinjing mausoleum, greatly defeated the mausoleum guarding army, and surrounded the tomb of Emperor Xia Xiang. The Emperor of Qi conferred the title of Marquis of Anle on Emperor Xia Xiang - this landmark event kicked Emperor Xia Xiang off the altar, exposed the fragility of Xia's defense line, and made the people of Xia truly realize why the present is not as good as it used to be. The fighting spirit of the Xia people was greatly shaken.
These earth-shattering feats enabled him to overwhelm Zhongxuan Shenglai.
Even if Chongxuan Sheng and Jiang Wang later crushed Fengli East Road, led their troops to sweep across Huiming Mansion, fought in the Minxi Corridor, and defeated 50,000 enemies, directly breaking the Xia people's last banner on the eastern front... Not as good as that.
Of course, if Zhongxuan Sheng could successfully raise the flag outside Guiyi City before the situation became clear, his achievements in this battle would surely rank above Zhongxuan Zun's. But at that time, he made another choice.
In Sang Mansion, Chong Xuanzun teamed up with Jiang Wang to fight with two gods and six gods, killing five Xiahou and a strange beast.
In this single battle, the achievements of these two men surpassed those of other generals.
So it was the two of them who appeared at this last moment.
In addition, young generals such as Li Fengyao, Li Longchuan, Yan Fu, and Wang Yiwu also performed outstandingly in the war against Xia. Especially Wang Yiwu, in the front battlefield of Tongyang City, in a terrifying environment where real people were constantly colliding with each other, he took the lead in every battle and broke through the enemy's formation seventeen times. He was very brave. But in terms of military merit, they are all still inferior to Zhongxuan Sheng.
Therefore, the reward was awarded first.
To put it into perspective, Tian Anping killed the real person in the world, forced Ren Qiuli to retreat from the South Dou Palace, and saved the battle on the northern front. Such a record was certainly a great achievement, and it was more impressive than Zhong Xuanzun.
But as the commander-in-chief, he commanded 100,000 Daqi County soldiers, and 90,000 of them died in battle. Excluding those who committed suicide, those who were mentally disturbed, and those who were eventually able to form an organization, there were only over 6,000 people left... He must also bear this responsibility.
Behind the more than 90,000 county soldiers are more than 90,000 families... Tian Anping must bear the sorrow of the people of Qi.
Therefore, although he has made great achievements, he cannot be rewarded greatly, let alone serve as a model for the three armies.
Even the reward process was vaguely explained.
Jiang Wang and Zhong Xuanzun appear at this time. What is the key?
During the war against Xia, those who were in charge of Spring Death were like Chen Zeqing, who were in charge of Autumn Death like Chongxuan Chu Liang, who were in charge of Zhufeng like Li Zhengyan... These army commander-level figures had all been awarded rewards in advance.
The emperor said that the two prodigies of the country had done great harm to the country and needed to rest, so they were allowed to leave late... and Han Ling, the leader of the internal officials, personally led the way, which reflected the supreme honor!
At this time, everyone was watching, and everyone was silent. In the middle of the huge square, the two of them went up to the high platform together. They were the so-called models of the three armies!
The Prime Minister Jiang Rumo personally displayed the edict and chanted in front of His Majesty -
"Protect the country and honor the clan, honor the generals, this is called Chongxuan!"
The first sentence of this opening line made Chongxuan Yunbo, who was worshiping me personally today, burst into tears!
Since the deposed prince lost power, the Chongxuan family has plummeted.
After that, Chongxuan Yunbo went into battle in armor, and his whole family fought in the Xia Kingdom. His third son Mingshan died in the battle, and Chongxuan Chu Liangshu seized martial arts. Even Chongxuan Mingtu died overseas, but he could not restore the emperor's heart...
To this day, Chongxuan Sheng has planned the Eastern Front, and Chongxuan Zun has conquered the Xia soil, and finally won this recognition.
The Chongxuan clan is still the top sect whose ancestors’ souls are enshrined in the Protector Hall. Today’s announcement in front of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, the ancestors of the Chongxuan clan should be aware of it!
This simple sentence...
But it is the efforts of three generations of the Chongxuan family since the twenty-fourth year of Yuanfeng to the present!
The gray-haired veteran murmured for a while, and finally just said: "I will rest in peace!"
He was injured on the battlefield in his early years, which cut off his path to the divine presence. No matter how many talents and treasures he had, he could not break through the life limit of one hundred and twenty-nine years and six months.
Time is running out...
The regret of his life is nothing more than that Zhongxuan could have reached the peak in his lifetime, but fell to the bottom.
How could he not hate and love his son named Mingtu deeply?
The extraordinary-looking Uncle Mingguang, supporting his old father at the side, was also full of emotions——
"A tiger father has no canine sons. The ancients have never deceived me! My son is really like my youth!"
Zhongxuan Yunbo turned his head, glanced at him, and suddenly lost his complicated emotions. What he wants to control now is not the tears in his eyes, but the strong impulse to kick his eldest son off the stage.
Jiang Rumo's declaration continued: "A family with many honors will definitely inherit the destiny of the country. A young and special person, a famous follower, a natural pillar, a great leader..."
At this moment, Emperor Qi is sitting on the dragon throne, and Queen Qi Zhu's eyes are endless and distant.
The prince Jiang Wuhua, the master of Huaying Palace Jiang Wuyou, and the master of Yangxin Palace Jiang Wuxie, each with their own charm, are all dressed up and sitting with them on the Dan steps.
Jiang Wang stood quietly next to the infinitely beautiful Zhong Xuanzun, inexplicably thinking of the Master of Changsheng Palace.
The whole war against Xia started with Jiang Wuqi's elimination of the hidden dangers of the Nine Soldiers.
Revisiting this war, it is not difficult to find out what an important role the deceased Lord of Changsheng Palace played. If Yan Tu is still there, Qi State may not be able to withstand Jing State's pressure. What's more, if Yan Tu participated in the expedition to Xia... it would be a disaster.
Time is such a hurry, even if you haven't wasted a moment. Sometimes when I look back suddenly, I can only see that things are different and people are different.
The last time he was rewarded was here, and the last time Jiang Wuqi was sitting in line.
Nowadays, the house is still full of ministers, including envoys from various countries.
In front of the emperor, the young man in fox fur was no longer visible.
In a daze, Jiang Rumo's declaration had reached the final sentence——
"...He is powerful enough to conquer the heavens and bravely win the three armies. He is the champion of one thousand six hundred households!"
Chongxuanzun raised his hands in front of his forehead and responded loudly: "My lord, thank you for your grace!"
There was a great eunuch who came to order Yin Hou to serve him.
The entire Taimiao Square was boiling for a while!
People were whispering to each other and couldn't stop talking.
This is amazing. The emperor's reward is a bit unusual.
Just now, the youngest marquis in the Daqi Empire was born!
He is the champion of 1,600 households in the city!
Amid the undulating calls, Jiang Wang came back to his senses, clapped his hands in praise.
Chong Xuanzun truly deserves the title of brave champion among the three armies.
At the moment he didn't realize the problem.
But Chong Xuan Sheng, who had already received the reward and retreated to the stands, suddenly clenched his fists.
Chongxuan Zundu was awarded the title of Champion Marquis. How will Jiang Wang, who has made more achievements and is more dazzling on the battlefield of the Conquest of Xia, be awarded the title of Champion? !
Before the Ancestral Temple, the wind was tamed.
The noise gradually subsided, and people looked at the overly young man in green shirt in the center of the square with more serious eyes. What title will this world-famous and world-famous Jiang Qingyang receive?
In a strange solemnity and unspeakable expectation.
Qi Tianzi's voice suddenly sounded——
"Jiang Wang, do you have a headache?"
Laughter erupted from the crowd.
Jiang Wang couldn't understand why the emperor suddenly asked this.
I even don’t understand what’s so funny about this question and why so many people are laughing…
I felt a little confused, but I still said honestly: "Go back to Your Majesty, it doesn't hurt."
After thinking for a while, he added: "Thanks to the expert hands of the imperial doctor, I recovered very well."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Emperor Qi laughed heartily, just laughed, and waved his sleeves: "Here comes the prime minister!"
Jiang Rumo then unfolded the second edict he had personally read today, and solemnly preached——
"Two thousand years have passed since the founding of Da Qi, and four thousand years have passed since the founding of the Dao calendar!
In a world of great strife, what is the plan for rise and fall?
Unless you have the world's most talented people, you can't consolidate the king's career for a long time.
Without the pillars of rivers and mountains, we cannot support the sun, moon, and sea of stars!
I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I sleep hard at night thinking about it. With the heart of fist, he embraced the whole world, so he got Jiang Wangxi to come.
The leader of the Yellow River is still there yesterday. Today's attack on Xia shows off your martial arts!
He picked up three thousand people and went deep with Zhongxuan Sheng's lone army, bypassing the enemy's rear. Continuously conquer the four major cities of Ximing, Honggu, Xinjie, and Dai, drive away defeated troops, destroy the formation, penetrate the three prefectures, and penetrate the Xia army's eastern front!
Since then, he has been serving Li and sweeping Huiming. It is impossible to behead people and kill generals with no plan.
He also led the army into Sang Mansion and pointed out the noble town. He was unstoppable and saved Pao Ze with his single sword!
At that time, the champion was surrounded by six gods.
Looking forward to the arrival of the gods, we fight against our backs..."
Jiang Ru silently read this, and his voice couldn't help but raise a little higher, excited by the content of the edict——
"Behead Xia Guangping Hou Lifu!
Kill Jin Ling, the Marquis of Xia'an!
Help kill Xia Yanglinghou Xue Chang!
Kill Xia Dongpinghou and let the strange beast come to you, the red-blooded ghost bat!
Chasing thousands of miles, beheading Xia Beixiang Hou Shang Yanhu! "
These distinguished names are indelible military achievements.
The leader of the Zhao Kingdom in the stands was almost breathless. None of these people could find a rival in the Zhao Kingdom. In other words, Jiang Wang now has the ability to destroy a country by himself!
And Jiang Rumo’s declaration continues——
"Fashion Yanhu secretly accepts the destiny of rebellion and wants to dig out troubles to bring disaster to the world.
The sky is open to a thin line in Jiangyin Plain, and the extremely evil water is hanging high in the sky.
It is hoped that the nine towns will be filled in and the serious trouble will be eliminated.
His martial arts prowess is unparalleled in the world!
So that the nine soldiers and three armies will lose nothing, and all the people of Xia will be protected by it.
The sages may have said that there are seven virtues in martial arts.
The most outstanding example of martial virtue in ancient and modern times is the use of force to stabilize a country!
So he named three thousand households the Marquis of Wu'an! "
There was a moment of silence in the huge square.
Immediately afterwards came the cheers that resounded throughout the Ancestral Temple.
It's a roaring mountain and a tsunami.
Sweeping across three hundred miles of Linzi City!
Thanks to the great alliance Qin Shang | The new alliance rewarded by the empire!
Thank you book friend "Impulse is the Peak" for becoming the ally of this book! It’s for the 324th Alliance of the Red Heart Patrol!
Book friends are full of martial virtue!
