After paying homage to the Sun, Moon, Heaven and Earth and Ming Shenzong to become the emperor, Li Yu’s identity as the successor will be impeccable. In addition, with the decree of the great king and concubine Hong, he will be “the most righteous in winning the country”!

On the day of the winter solstice, it was still snowing lightly in the early morning, but at the end of Yin Shi, when Li Hui got up, the waiter reported that the snow had stopped, which was a great good omen. When Li Hui heard this, he was overjoyed and ran to the door quickly.

As I watched, it turned out that the sky had cleared up. The palace maids and chamberlains were all cleaning the snow on the ground with very quick hands and feet.

Feeling that he was truly destined, even the snow could make way for his sacrifice. Li? He happily changed his clothes under the service of everyone. Today he has to sacrifice to heaven and earth, so he can't have breakfast. But he is the king after all, so he has to drink some hot rice soup to cushion his death.

After a while, no one said anything. Besides, the big fat meat used for sacrifices was boiled in plain water, half-cooked, and had no taste at all. It was so cold that it was impossible to swallow it. Concubine Hong secretly brought him a piece of meat.

Let him hide the small packet of salt in his sleeve so that when he eats the sacrificial meat later, he can swallow as much as he can.

The duty officer of the Li Cao had already come to greet him. Hong Shourong was an old nobleman, and he was still very skilled in handling these matters. This was one of the reasons why Hong Jinglai chose him to be the Li Cao judge. This kind of etiquette system is really so important.

A member of the Jinghua noble family for more than ten generations has seen countless world events before he can understand this.

After all the items were completed, all the people in the palace helped Li Yu get into the car. In the large square of Mingzheng Palace, the ceremonial guards and other officials were already in place. The superintendent of the ceremony respectfully invited Li Xi, and the drums and music were played. Lu Bu and other items were waiting quietly by the side.

Line up together.

The conductor came out and rode his horse forward. The escort's front firing team and rear gun team passed through the left and right side gates of Mingzheng Gate in turn, clearing the way for the entire procession to offer sacrifices.

Although the ceremony does not prohibit people from watching, in order to prevent congestion and accidents, Zhao Wanyong also cleaned up the streets while clearing the snow last night. At least the houses and houses within a hundred meters of the avenue were vacated to prevent people from hiding.

They want to do evil things in the dark. After all, whether it is a shotgun or a bow and arrow, after one hundred meters, the accurate target will all hit metaphysically, and it will have no lethality.

The scene was maintained by the Three Thousand Hanyang Zhuangyong Battalion and Jin Pingchun's training camp to ensure the safety of the entire ceremony to the greatest extent. Of course, these two also focused on strengthening Hong Jinglai's personal safety, and he was supposed to proceed alone.

The chief priest, Hong Jinglai, was assigned a flag bearer on each side. They were said to be flag bearers, but in fact they were all Hong Jinglai's die-hard disciples. The three rows of leading cavalry at the front and rear were replaced by nine rows, so that Hong Jinglai had hundreds of people guarding him at his leisure.

Nothing will happen.

All preparations are complete, and the ceremonial processions are proceeding out of the Mingzheng Gate!

Zheng Jinhuan and others are hiding in the dark. Except for a few people, most of them are still hiding in many private houses a hundred meters away from the avenue. No one thinks it is inappropriate. This is the normal operation of the government. It is natural for the king to travel.

The street needs to be quiet.

The previous plan was also perfect. The departure time of the grand ceremony procession was almost exactly right. Not only was the central gate of Mingzheng Gate wide open, but the left and right side gates were also grandly opened. This was very conducive for them to rush into and out of the city gate.

Enter and control Changgyeonggung Palace.

However, there is only one thing that they ignored, which now makes them hesitate!

Is one hundred meters very far? If you ask a modern person, isn't it the Olympic record of more than nine seconds? Ordinary good guys can run there in more than ten seconds, and slower in about twenty seconds. But for participation

For the thousands of members of the Beijing Merchant Group who were attacking, a hundred meters was really far away.

When the two armies were fighting, more than 100 meters was enough to shoot two arrows, and a sharpshooter could even shoot three times. Zheng Jinhuan and the others rushed out and could not hide at all. They could only rush through the more than 100 meters while being exposed all the way.

Another thing that puzzled them was that in North Korea, which lacked cavalry, even Hong Jinglai, who had just passed by, only had a hundred cavalry, but around Li?, there were actually so many cavalry that he couldn't even see the side at a glance.

They were all cavalry units of the teaching corps that Hong Jinglai had transferred into the city in the name of serving as Li?'s guard of honor. There were six hundred cavalry. If they were to fight in the wild, two to three thousand or even three to five thousand infantry would be a piece of cake.

When things come to an end, you have to do it!

Even though Zheng Jinhuan was still hesitant, he felt that there was no time for temporary changes. He fired a burst of cannons, and without further delay, he took advantage of Li?'s carriage being jammed in front of the door and unable to advance or retreat, and took advantage of the opportunity for a sneak attack.

Hong Jinglai had walked more than 200 meters from the Mingzheng Gate when he suddenly saw a trumpet blast beside him. His heart was frightened, and he immediately took the sword from the flag bearer beside him and defended himself with the sword. The trusted cavalry guards in front and behind also led by Jin Shilong, clapped their horses and approached.

.However, the expected attack did not happen at all, and there was not a single gangster among the rioting crowd.

"Shilong, go back to the rear and see what happened!" Hong Jinglai suddenly turned around. If the attack was not directed at him, then it could only be directed at Li?

There were so many preparations, all focusing on safety on the road and guarding the government offices. Now the gangsters did not follow the routine and actually thought of attacking the powerless Li? This move was really beyond Hong Jinglai's expectation and caught him off guard.

"Yes!" Jin Shilong saw that Hong Jinglai was surrounded by hundreds of cavalry and was safe, so he immediately mounted his horse and rushed towards the rear.

At this moment, the street was in chaos due to the sudden sound of cannons and shouts of killing. Fortunately, Zhao Wanyong and Jin Pingchun had vaccinated their soldiers, knowing that something might happen today. Then they would just prevent the common people.

Just rush into the ceremonial procession. All the eunuchs in the hall will have guards around them.

Therefore, although the people were running around, it was not enough to disrupt the entire queue. It was enough to frighten many of the eunuchs. They all looked around, looking at the place where the shouts of death came from.

Shekov, who was walking beside the teaching corps, initially received an order to ensure that the cavalry he trained could form a tight formation to protect His Royal Highness the King as he went to worship his ancestors. The Russian Guards Cavalry Regiment also did this.

It was no surprise to Shekov that this was a good job. He was familiar with Eastern culture and knew that the feudal monarchs in the East would hold such sacrificial ceremonies every year.

It was calm until we walked out of the Mingzheng Gate. I just couldn't understand the music, but it didn't matter. Shekov was a rough guy. He didn't care what the music was. He directed his students to move forward.

That’s it.

Speaking of which, Tsar Alexander I had very high requirements for the appearance of his troops. It is said that before the Battle of Austerlitz, the Guards Cavalry even stopped marching and spent two hours applying powder on their faces to clean their gorgeous

Clothes and robes. Therefore, once Shekov stepped into the ranks of the dependents, he unconsciously transformed into a resolute and heroic appearance.

"Boom!"

The sound of flares!

"Defend Your Highness!" After many years of military career, Shekov subconsciously pulled out his sword and turned to face the sound of the cannon. What he saw were only some "mobs" holding short knives.
Chapter completed!
