Chapter 92

Du Zhongxiao and the civil and military officials of Shengzhou were waiting quietly at the station. With the sound of the whistle and the sound of the sound, the train slowly entered the station.

The train slowly stopped, and a guard had already stepped forward and waited in front of the most conspicuous special car. The door opened, and several guards came out of the car, stood on the left and right doors, and sang loudly.

Di Qing walked to the car door, looked at Du Zhongxiao and Bao Zheng and other officials waiting outside, and raised their legs and got off the train.

Du Zhongxiao brought the officials of Yishengzhou to the front and bowed: "Du Zhongxiao, the governor of Hequ Road, pays homage to the officials of this route to the Grand Marshal!"

Di Qing nodded and said, "There is no need to be too polite to manage."

After Di Qing got off the car, the officials who came with him got out of the car and greeted Du Zhongxiao, Bao Zheng and Chen Xu one by one.

Finally, Zhang Ke and a group of officers at all levels from the Beijing Military Academy got off the car and went forward to salute Du Zhongxiao.

Zhang Ji was a general in the front and regarded his status as a military officer. Although he had little experience in Hequ Road, Quan Fa sent the commander of the Anbei Army and finally got off the bus with the school officials from the capital, Du Zhongxiao was still a little unread. The famous ministers and generals who came here were nothing in front of the army on Hequ Road, but they were very arrogant.

After the ceremony, Du Zhongxiao saw that the soldiers who entered Beijing from other cars had already got off the car. He lined up on the platform and said to Zhang Ji: "The general will take his troops back to the barracks first, and give them wine and meat to comfort them with their hard work. Just arrange it, come to the back of the general's office to welcome the Grand Marshal and the ministers."

Zhang Ji crossed his hands and sang his promise, ran to the soldiers' queue, and took them back to the camp.

Du Zhongxiao said to Di Qing: "Tei Wei has worked hard. The new land of Shengzhou has been created and has not set up an inn. Please wait for some."

Di Qing said: "The officials are so angry. We are here under the orders of the court to observe the military style of Hequ. We should live in the military camp since we are not required to worry about resettlement elsewhere."

Du Zhongxiao said, "I thank the Taiwei for this. It's not too early. Please follow me into the city to welcome the Taiwei and the ministers tonight."

Di Qing nodded, Du Zhongxiao and Bao Zheng led the ministers and military academy students from the capital to Shengzhou City not far away.

As soon as I left the station, I saw a soldier holding a spear standing on both sides of the road to the city gate every few steps, standing with his hands down, extending to the city gate. The people near the station gathered in groups of three or three to watch from afar.

When Di Qing saw this, he said to Du Zhongxiao: "How come the ruling army mobilizes so much? I am afraid that the common people will be dissatisfied."

Du Zhongxiao said: "The Taiwei brought all the ministers to the border. If this is not the case, how can the local respect be expressed? It took only one or two hours, and what are the dissatisfactions of the people? It was just that the road was sealed and the ceremonial guards were a little simpler. The Taiwei and the ministers were forgiven for their crimes."

After saying that, he first took the officials of Shengzhou and accompanied Di Qing and the ministers toward the city gate.

Among the people who came, Di Qing was the Privy Councilor, and there were many ceremonies to travel, and everything was regular. Du Zhongxiao blocked the road and also saved that set of ceremonies. He just walked with the officials, and the ceremonial guards followed far behind.

Du Zhongxiao was an official and rarely used ceremonial guards when traveling, unless they were of special significance. The ceremonial guards always served as personal soldiers, and often ran errands and worked less frequently. He did not use them normally, so he was not impatient to help others show off.

The ceremonial guard is the face of the officials. When traveling, the people avoid it and meet low-level officials to give way to senior officials. The people on the roadside can only watch the officials on the horse from afar and envy the officials' grand show.

There was no usual flags on the road, and the people knelt down to greet them. There were only two rows of soldiers with faint murderous aura on the roadside, which made some officials feel uncomfortable. Some people even wondered if this was Du Zhongxiao's assassination for them.

The station was not far from the city gate, and after a short while, he arrived outside the city gate. Di Qing and others arrived outside the city gate and looked at the majestic Shengzhou city gate, and couldn't help but stop. Leading the army to win a lot, expanding the land for thousands of miles, and then Mu guarding the side was the ultimate ideal of many military generals. Du Zhongxiao was not old, so he did it easily, and it seemed that it was not a great thing for him.

Seeing Di Qing stopping, Du Zhongxiao said, "Taiwei, why are you stopping here?"

Di Qing said: "What a mighty city! A year ago, this place was a Khitan town. The military force was not bloody and forced the Khitans to give it up. I really couldn't imagine it. This time, the military and horses in Hequ Road won a great victory. Many people were not convinced. In fact, what was there to be dissatisfied? If the military force does not have such a strong army, how can we have such martial arts? This time, the court officials came to Shengzhou, and should be truly humble and learn how to train military forces by learning the strategy."

Du Zhongxiao said: "You are polite. Some military achievements are the contributions of the generals on Hequ Road, and they are also the ones they meet. This rare opportunity is not only based on personal excellence, but also on the chance. Only by seizing the opportunity can one achieve unparalleled achievements."

Di Qing nodded and said to Du Zhongxiao: "Take the way forward!" After that, he led his ministers behind Du Zhongxiao and entered the west gate of Shengzhou.

The west city gate is opposite the state yamen, and there is still a distance away from the general's mansion. The roads in the city are the same as those outside. The soldiers stand solemnly a few steps away from the street, and the people can only watch from afar. The road is extremely quiet, exuding a solemn atmosphere.

After leaving the station, he did not ride a horse. When he walked to the front of the state yamen, some officials felt a little tired. Sun Mian whispered: "I don't want it to be several miles away from the station. Du Jingluo didn't arrange horse riding, just to let us look at the soldiers on the side? Although it is so grand, it is also secretly murderous. Could it be that Du Jingluo Mu guarded the side and killed him, and he doesn't like us to come."

Wang Gongchen said: "There are more than a hundred generals in the military academy who are following behind. If all of them ride horses, they will inevitably be in chaos. Du Jinglei is afraid that he will not be able to lose face. If we just ride horses, those people will be afraid of being cold and the soldiers will be afraid that they will only be wronged."

Speaking of this, Wang Gongchen shook his head mockingly: "I'm afraid that Du Jinglei doesn't take us to heart, and he doesn't think we are wronged."

Sun Mian nodded: "I think this is the case. It's just a pain for us, and we hike these miles inexplicably."

Wang Gongchen said: "Actually, there is no hardship. I think I'm not as comfortable as I live in Shengzhou, so I'd better adapt first. Du Jinglei arranged soldiers to stand up on the roadside, and I think it's good to let us know where this place is."

When he arrived at the Supervisor's Office, Du Zhongxiao said to Zheng Lian beside him: "You should take the military generals from the later military schoon to the Houya first and take a seat in the arranged seat. Everything is subject to the rules of the army and no noise is allowed!"

Zheng Lian crossed his hands and walked quickly to the back of the team, passed Du Zhongxiao's military order, and asked the military academy to accept his orders.

He entered the General Office with Di Qing and others, first went to the festival hall, and then entered the General Office. Du Zhongxiao performed the ceremony as a ritual, and after he talked about the ceremony with the ministers, he was officially promoted to the tent. The civil and military officials of the General Office stood on both sides and sang promises loudly.

Di Qing signaled that the deputy Privy Councilor Sun Mian took out the imperial edict. Du Zhongxiao ordered people to set up an incense table. After reading Sun Mian, he accepted the imperial edict, worshiped it, and ordered people to receive it in the pen holder. All of this has a fixed procedure, and it is often just to act like it. The key is to accept the imperial edict and hold it properly. The person Du Zhongxiao followed was not familiar with Wang Kai, and he strictly followed the procedures. It not only showed seriousness but also showed an attitude of doing things.

After everything was arranged, Du Zhongxiao said to Di Qing and others: "The Grand Marshal and the ministers are behind him. There is a table of wine banquets to welcome you from afar. Everything is hasty, don't feel shabby."

Everyone did not dare to do so, and followed Du Zhongxiao out of the official hall and transferred to the back yamen.

Several tables of banquets were already set up in the courtyard of the Houya. The generals of the military academy who arrived first sat upright. Seeing Du Zhongxiao, Di Qing and others coming, they stood up together, crossed their hands and sang loudly.

Du Zhongxiao led Di Qing and others to the master's seat, divided the guest and host to sit down, and ordered the generals there to sit down.

Everyone sang a promise again before sitting down in their seats. They all looked at their noses and their noses, and sat motionlessly.

Di Qing said: "Today, you don't have to be so serious. You can order the generals to drink and eat meat according to military courtesy, and not show their ugly appearance."

Du Zhongxiao signaled, and Zheng Lian on the side whispered loudly: "The generals do not have to follow the military courtesy, eat wine and drink meat. But you should not show your ugly appearance. If you violate the order, you will be punished according to the military law!"

The generals sang a promise again, which made it easier.

Wang Gongchen whispered to Sun Mian beside him: "I have seen it in the capital before, but I have never seen such a purge."

Sun Mian said: "It is not unreasonable that the Beijing Military Academy was beaten up by the people from Hequ Road this time."

Wang Gongchen nodded and deeply agreed.

Li Fugui, who was sitting next to him, heard it and forced himself to smile and tighten his face. In fact, except for formal occasions, the various armies on Hequ Road were not particularly serious at the parties, and were mostly casual. Today, this was not something Du Zhongxiao did it intentionally. He was not familiar with Di Qing and the ministers, and he couldn't figure out what they meant, and asked everything to act according to the regulations.

The style passed down from the Yingtianxiang Army was particularly strict in the formal occasions of the Hequ Road army, and if they violated the law, they would be severely punished. However, in private occasions, military law is generally not allowed, but rather relaxed. Today, Du Zhongxiao believed that it was a formal occasion and issued a strict order. Whoever dared to violate the military law will be severely punished regardless of his identity.

After arranging the order from the other side, Du Zhongxiao signaled Li Fugui and ordered the soldiers to serve the dishes.
