Chapter 605 Honor
People waited and waited until the third hour of Mao, twenty-one royal salutes that shook the east road finally rang out on the east road. Then there were teams of salutes wearing golden armor, red cloaks, and colorful garlands, riding all yellow war horses, holding spears, and flags spread neatly from a distance, setting up defense lines on both sides of the road.
I saw that every twenty feet away from the road, there was a Cai Building. On both sides of the Cai Building, one by one, and one by one whistle in five steps. The officers standing down the Cai Building were all wearing bright light armor, covered with big red robes, pressing the hilt of the sword in their hands, standing upright. The soldiers were all wearing new battle robes and armor, which looked even more majestic and solemn, making people stand up solemnly.
Suddenly, twenty-one cannons sounded from the Shenwu Gate. Bells and drums were the first to ring in the bell and drum tower on the city gate, and the Taoist temples in various temples responded together, singing together. Almost at the same time, the corners of the paintings that had been guarding the roadside sounded together, and the military music played the song of victory.
Hearing the sound of triumphal songs, five thousand imperial cavalrymen drew their swords together, urging the war horses under their crotch to lift their hooves and step down. These war horses were strictly trained and stepped on drums when they walked, shaking and trembling on the road made of loess, which made people stunned.
At this moment, the ceremonial guard of the triumphal army finally came out. Thirty-six Great Qin Dragon Flags, twenty-four Great Qin Military Flags, eighteen Prince Wucheng Flags, and eighteen Imperial Guards, led by ninety-six Imperial Guards... These lieutenants all came from these nine imperial guards, all of whom have military achievements, and are arrogant and arrogant.
The following came out was the fifty-four 9-dragon curved cover, which was sergeant walking, and the golden color of the water. Behind the canopy were the police officers coming into the wings and flags. One hundred and twenty soldiers held golden locks, lying melons, standing melons, locking axes, big swords, red stirrups, and yellow stirrups...
Such a large formation made the people excited to see it, but they couldn't help but feel dizzy and thought to themselves: "Why haven't you seen the Grand Marshal?"
Just when the people were impatient, a team of mighty knights wearing black armor, riding black horses, wearing red robes, and wearing black protective faces appeared. People immediately cheered, and the atmosphere suddenly became much warmer... They all knew that Prince Wucheng Shang Hei, the appearance of black means that his king's lord was not far away!
Sure enough, eighty-one knights in black robe and soft armor were seen slowly driving over, protecting a topless king car. The king car was very wide, with four generals standing at four corners of the car. They were all wearing the color of generals, holding the hilt of the sword in their hands, holding their heads and chests, like the four great kings of the South Heaven Gate... These four people were Huangfu Zhanwen, Yang Wenyu, Shen Qing and Shen Bing!
There is a flag station in the center of the cart. On the stage is a flag that is more than three meters high, with red tassels and bright yellow borders. On the golden flag is embroidered with a mighty and noble tiger. Under the tiger's head, there is a line of big words written: "Prince Wu Cheng of the Great Qin, Prince of the Great Marshal Wang Qin"!
The king's flag was even more dazzling under the sunshine of early spring. On the flag platform, under the guard of four flag-protecting generals, Qin Lei was wearing the prince's battle robe and holding the Emperor's Sword, and stood with a solemn expression. Behind him were there bright yellow talismans and axes.
At this moment, thousands of riders followed him, surrounded him and protected him. The people were looking up at him in a crowd of people, fragrant flowers, wine, and dancing in the dust. When he moved forward, people were like lodging rice fields, prostrating themselves and dared not peek.
This scenery, this pomp, and this extraordinary glory. Since ancient times, who has enjoyed the emperors who have impressed the world? Looking in front of him, he saw the dragon flag covering the sun; looking around, he saw the glorious golden swords. Who in the world can not intoxicate it and cannot extricate himself?
But Qin Lei's face was solemn and motionless. Not only did he not have any joy, but his brows frowned, which made the people around him look at him and couldn't help but think: "The prince is so cool..."
Qin Lei was indeed a little excited, but tried his best to suppress his excitement. He stared at the capital getting closer and closer, and a sound like a bell in his heart said: "Everything is false, everything is fantasy, everything today is given by others. Anyone else's gift will be taken away one day..." He did not want to let himself be lost in this courtesy that has not been seen in ancient and modern times, and forget his identity - although he is a prince, he is just a minister in the final analysis!
'This is what I want, and this is not what I want!' Qin Lei repeatedly warned himself, and before he knew it, the carriage slowly stopped.
Qin Lei came to his senses and looked forward. He saw that the princes, nobles, officials, and even noble women and women in the capital were all out in full swing and waiting for the great horse on both sides of the avenue. Seeing his big flag coming from afar, everyone under the emperor's uncle, Prince Jia, knelt on the ground, and shouted in unison: "Welcome Prince Wucheng, His Highness the Great Marshal, and His Highness, the King of Marshal, reunite!"
In theory, as Qin Lei's identity and Qin Lei's contributions were justified, it was natural to kneel down, but how could he dare to be arrogant when facing the dignitaries of Manjing? That would not be a public enemy?
Qin Lei quickly jumped out of the car, helped up the trembling uncle, and said loudly: "Please ask, it is my Qin man's responsibility to defend his country, and the credit belongs to everyone. Never kill Xiao Wang!" When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel a lot of affection for Qin Lei... They were also worried that this highness would take the opportunity to be domineering and not be able to get out of Taiwan. Everyone carried the so-called flower sedan chair, and everyone saluted Qin Lei and thanked him loudly: "Thank you, Prince." Then they stood up one after another, giving him enough face.
After everyone got up after ceremonies, fireworks were set off on both sides of the road, firecrackers roaring, and fragrant mist was ringing, and endlessly. One by one, the colorful squares were crowded with people. In order to see Prince Wu Cheng's style, the people squeezed over and hurried over, screaming loudly, scattering flowers and fruits, like dreams and drunkenness, and like crazy!
The originally orderly scene suddenly became chaotic. The soldiers of the Bingma Temple had to hold hands, shoulder to shoulder, and isolated the out-of-control people outside the road like a cow. They were all so tired that they sweated profusely, complaining, and resentful in their hearts: "Why haven't you finished it yet!"
In fact, according to the plan formulated by the Ministry of Rites, this unprecedented guard of honor should have arrived at Shenwu Gate at the beginning of noon, but the crowded crowd completely disrupted the advance deployment. It was not until the end of noon that Qin Lei's vision suddenly widened a lot. Except for the 81 eunuchs in front of Shenwu Gate carrying a golden carriage, there was no one or anything else.
Qin Lei stood in the shorter king carriage, and Emperor Tianyou sat on the higher chariot. The two of them looked exactly flat and looked at each other from afar, and their eyes were complicated and difficult to understand.
The field became quiet, and both dignitaries and ordinary people bowed their heads and did not dare to look up.
After looking at the second brother for a while, Qin Lei suddenly realized that he should not be standing like this stupidly anymore, so he jumped out of the king's car and walked quickly towards the Luanyu. Immediately, the music of Danbi... In the door holes on the left and right sides, 360 court musicians played noble music with yellow bells and vaguely sang hymns of auspicious praises.
Seeing his young brother strode towards him, the young Emperor Tianyou smiled. With the support of the eunuch, he slowly walked down the chariot and walked quickly towards Qin Lei.
At the climax of the music, the two finally met and looked at each other with excitement. Emperor Tianyou stretched out his hand and personally took off Qin Lei's battle robe, which was to give him a formal armor. The excuse of "Armor is on his body, I can't be able to ritual" was useless, so Qin Lei had to bow down and kowtow to perform the grand ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows.
But after only one kowtow, Emperor Tianyou held him down and refused to continue walking. The emperor's gentle voice sounded in front of the city gate and said, "I have given you my fifth brother, you will not worship you. Except for accepting you for your ancestors and sects, you don't have to kneel twice or eight kowtows."
Qin Lei said with a panic expression: "How did this make it?"
"How can't I do this?" Emperor Tianyou laughed and said, "I want to confer you a king on your side, brother, don't be fussy." As he said that, he glanced at the generals kneeling on the ground behind Qin Lei: "All the generals are tired, thank you really hard, all of you, get up and go to the banquet with my inner court!" He then pulled Qin Lei with one hand and signaled the generals to get up with the other hand.
The nobles saw the emperor pulling Prince Wucheng straight up to the carriage and entering the city from the emperor's exclusive path. Then they stood up one after another, found their own carriages, and followed them into the city and the palace to go to the banquet.
