Turbulent Times Chapter 1181: Ceremony of Prisoners

The 5,000 cavalry led by Luo Shixin were restricted from entering the city of Luoyang, and a large camp was arranged outside the city. Wang Junlin led only more than 400 experts from the special forces team at the front, and behind them were escorted by the government soldiers There were more than 10,000 Goguryeo prisoners. Walking in front of these prisoners was Yuan Tae-jo, who was locked in a prison car. In order to prevent him from committing suicide, his limbs and even his teeth had lost the ability to move.

According to Yang Guang's request, the prisoner offering team had to circle around the entire Luoyang city before finally arriving in front of the imperial city to meet His Majesty Yang Guang.

Wang Junlin directly ignored the fear, excitement, indifference, disgust, hatred and other emotions of the Koguryo captives who were observing on both sides, and swayed forward on the blood-maned horse. According to Yang Guang's meaning, it was naturally This parade cannot be ended too quickly.

After riding a blood-maned horse for half a street, Wang Junlin gradually put aside the assassination he had just experienced, and began to appreciate the new capital Luoyang. After all, this was his first visit to the new capital after its completion.

The roadsides are full of trees, surrounded by trees, and after walking a few streets, Wang Junlin gradually discovered that Luoyang City is very tall and grand. .

Especially in the horizontal streets and alleys of Luoyang City, no matter where you go, the streets and alleys are all neatly squared, like a chessboard. The dwellings are evenly distributed among the chess grids, in order.

After detouring along the main streets of the city, Wang Junlin led the prisoner offering team to the north of Miyagi.

There are soldiers with bright armors along the way. The closer you get to the imperial city, the fewer people there are. Thick diaphragm, this is a feeling of despair.

Nine miles around the imperial city, there are palace gates on all sides.

Tianmen is located in the middle of the south wall, facing Duanmen in the south and Wumen in the north, running through a central axis with the main gates of the central halls.

Under the roar of the hoofbeats, the entire imperial city seemed to be shaking.

Wang Junlin was on the left of Crown Prince Yang Hao. The five hundred palace riders led the way in front of the two, followed by the **** team and the 20,000 or 30,000 Goguryeo prisoners.

Soon, Wang Junlin saw the Heavenly Gate of the Imperial City. Su, it is daunting.

At this moment, the central gate of the Heavenly Gate is wide open, and a large group of people can be seen from afar, all kinds of grand arrangements, full of flowers and grand and solemn.

Yang Hao kept his face gloomy, while Dugu Changsu looked calm, and while riding, he said to Wang Junlin: "There is still Yongtai Gate in Tianmen, and then there is the main hall, Ganlu Hall, which is for holding grand ceremonies and receiving foreign envoys." Dedicated. His Majesty is waiting for Qin Angong there.”

Wang Junlin looked around, at the end of Luoshui, in the northwest of Waiguo City, stood the majestic East Imperial Palace.

The imperial palace is divided into two parts: the imperial city and the palace city.

The imperial city is surrounded by the east, south, and west sides of the palace city, showing a "concave" shape, and the north side is separated from the palace city by a city wall.

The walls of the imperial city are all sandwiched, with two layers of walls. There are three layers in the north to increase its defense capability.

There are four horizontal streets from east to west in the imperial city, which intersect with the three straight roads from north to south. Around the palace.

Miyagi is the residence of Emperor Yang Guang and the place where he received his ministers.

To the north of Miyagi, there are two cities of Yaoyi and Yuanbi, which put Miyagi in heavy siege.

The prisoner offering team detoured into the inner city, and then entered the imperial city, with chaotic cheers all the way, Wang Junlin and his party finally stopped at the Tianmen in the south of the imperial city. According to the Sui Dynasty’s meeting code system, only captives were presented to Tianmen, and Xuan Jie went directly to the court meeting, but Yang Guang wanted to make the movement bigger, so the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War negotiated according to the most grand specifications for the presentation of prisoners. , all arranged outside the Tianmen.

On the imperial road in front of Tianmen Gate, the palace guards and imperial guards have set up guards of honor along the east and west sides. The civil and military officials and the envoys of the vassal state that Yang Guang sent for specially. Ordinary civil and military officials are brought from Yinli to the south-east of the Royal Road and stand opposite to each other.

Wang Junlin walked all the way, and when he reached the front, a Yinli whispered to him the precautions for a while.

The bell in the imperial city rang, and the salute said: "Qin Angong, the emperor has arrived at Tianmen, you should be ready."

Wang Junlin nodded, as a promise, seeing the solemn scene in front of him, he sighed in his heart, Yang Guang made such a big show, just to scare people. As a matter of fact, the imperial city is so magnificent that the yamen must be built to be more magnificent, that is, the people who handle affairs must first be calmed down in terms of momentum.

As soon as the bell stopped, the band of the Jiaofang Division played the big music until a figure dressed in the emperor's uniform came to the front of the gate tower of the Meridian Gate. The big music stopped, and all the officials present bowed down four times.

After kneeling and worshiping, the soldiers pushed down more than 10,000 Goguryeo captives and knelt down on the Tianmen Royal Road. Wang Junlin personally lifted Yuan Taizuo up, kicked and knelt at the front, and then led the ceremony officer to lead Wang Junlin to the Tianmen Kneeling down and worshiping, Yu Shiji went out to report the victory loudly to the emperor. After the completion, the minister of the Ministry of War asked for an order to narrate his merits. Wang Junlin was named the king of Qin'an County on the spot. He became the first king of the Sui Dynasty with a different surname since Yang Guang became emperor, but his The official position has not changed, and he is still the prefect of Fanyang County.

Wang Junlin was mentally prepared long ago, knelt down to thank Yang Guang and shouted: "I obey His Majesty's order to lead the navy, and everyone is united. There is no retreat. Follow your Majesty's strategy and live up to my emperor's plan."

After Wang Junlin finished speaking, he peeked at the upstairs of the Tianmen Gate. Yang Guang was nodding slightly. Wang Junlin sighed inwardly. Junlin's words, because no matter how many people can really believe it, at least it is Wang Junlin who once again pushed all his achievements in Goguryeo to the emperor under the watchful eyes of everyone. It's very important, at least Yang Guang values ​​it very, very much.

The ceremony ended soon, and Wang Junlin was brought into the imperial city by his servants to meet Yang Guang further.

…

Yang Guang received Wang Junlin in the Ganlu Hall, and Wang Junlin once again paid homage, with extremely respectful expressions, words and deeds.

Yang Guang stared at Wang Junlin for a while, his eyes flickering, he already knew about the assassination outside the city, and he was almost not mad at his son, because in Yang Guang's view, Yang Hao His stupidity directly reduced the effect of this prisoner offering, so he just called Yang Wei to scold him, and even slapped him across the face.
