Chapter 631

"How is the ceremony Department preparing for the parade?" Li Shimin asked anxiously in the Tai Chi hall.

Li Junxian bowed and said, "Your Majesty, since Linghu Shangshu summoned mohou into the Ministry of rites, the process was quickly determined, and the proposed scheme was very satisfactory to the Ministry of rites and the Ministry of war. Now the two departments are making intensive secret training, and I believe we will not disappoint your majesty."

"Oh! Keep it a secret!" Li Shimin said with great interest.

Li Junxian said with a smile, "there is ink offering wine. I believe this military parade will certainly surprise your majesty."

"Surprise, I hope it's not scare!" Li Shimin laughed. He had no doubt about the ability of Merton's boy to toss, but as for the effect, it's better to keep a few points. However, Merton's plan can satisfy both the military department and the etiquette department, which made him look forward to it.

Li Junxian smiled. Naturally, he couldn't answer the topic.

"Continue to pay close attention to Chang'an city. There should be no trouble before and after the military parade." Li Shimin ordered.

"Yes!" Li Junxian said positively.

The order on the surface will naturally be controlled by Chang'an City and Jin Wuwei, while the order in the dark will naturally be in the charge of hundreds of horses. There are many tasks to be investigated. Some envoys from the western regions are ready to move, and the leaders of various tribes also have restless people. Even the people who come to Chang'an City need to be investigated secretly to prevent some bandits from sneaking in.

As more and more people entered Chang'an City, the time for the military parade was getting closer and closer. Merton began to be busy again. He was pulled by Linghu Deyu, the waiter of the Ministry of rites, to review the military parade team in advance. What worried Merton most was the first team, the Jinyang veterans team.

"Don't worry! With the proposal of ink offering wine, the ritual department rushed to Jinyang for the first time and looked for 100 Jinyang veterans." Linghu Deyu said proudly.

Merton pointed at the school field and said, "these are the people you're looking for!"

Most of these Jinyang veterans have gray hair and even have a large belly. They are like soldiers. They are simply rural rich men. No, they are their father.

When Li Yuan set up troops in Jinyang, most of them were local veterans. After calming down the world, he either promoted to be a marquis, stayed in Chang'an City, or returned home. Jinyang is indeed the easiest place to find veterans.

However, after returning, these veterans generally have rich rewards. In addition, they have been rewarded with a large number of land products. Suddenly, they live a comfortable life, and their bodies will soon get fat. Compared with Uncle Wang, one can equal two weights.

Linghu Deyu was embarrassed and said, "many of them are the soldiers of the emperor."

Merton understood the Tao in an instant. It turned out that Linghu dehu wanted to flatter Li Yuan and specially found these people.

"This is a big parade. Do you think these people look like soldiers? Can they take their hands?" Merton said helplessly.

"Who says I'm not like a soldier and can't take it? The younger generation, why don't we wait for a fight." a Jinyang veteran with big arms and waist had a sharp ear. When he heard Merton's dialogue, he looked insulted and repeatedly raised his sleeves to rush at Merton.

Uncle Wang with one arm moved. With one hand clasped the fat veteran's shoulder and a little force, he immediately controlled the man on the ground.

"Let go of me. When I was a soldier beside the supreme emperor, you didn't know where to feed?" the fat veteran couldn't help but roar.

Merton reluctantly spread his hands and said to Linghu de: "I'm afraid he can't even wear armor now. How can he participate in the grand parade? Moreover, it's not easy to wear armor throughout the grand parade. Do you think he can stick to it."

Many fat veterans immediately felt ashamed. They had just participated in training and felt overwhelmed. If they wore armor all the way, I'm afraid few could stick to it.

"But it's too late to find time now." Linghu De Fu said helplessly.

"Look for it in Chang'an City first, and you can always find it. Uncle Wang, you lead them in the whole process of armor training. You don't want to fight the enemy. As long as you stick to the whole process, but the military discipline should be correct." Merton said reluctantly, you can only ask these veterans. After all, not every veteran is so self disciplined, or you are responsible for training Mohist village guards to one armed Uncle Wang, I haven't left my martial arts at all.

"Don't worry, young master." Wang Shu, one armed, said in a positive tone.

"What about me?" the fat veteran jumped up reluctantly.

Merton said reluctantly, "if you don't have suitable armor, you can't help it, but you can be responsible for maintaining order in Zhuque street."

A group of fat veterans immediately looked regretful. They lost such a great opportunity by themselves. Fortunately, they were also on Zhuque street. It was a worthwhile trip.

Merton and Linghu Deyu immediately reviewed other parade teams. The others were soldiers in service. Naturally, they didn't have so many problems as veterans. What they wanted was only the requirements of formation. Generally speaking, it could be justified. After all, it was the largest parade. It could be according to the normal queue.

What really bothered them was the military's weapon display, especially Cheng Yaojin, who was in charge of the matter

Cheng Yaojin looked excited and pointed to a five foot high siege Corridor: "Mo boy, what do you think of this weapon? I'm sure the envoys of the western countries will be scared to death after seeing it."

Morton helplessly covered his face and said, "Uncle Cheng, this weapon is indeed powerful, but are you sure you can pass it through the south gate?"

The highest of Nancheng gate is only one and a half feet. Such a tall siege weapon is indeed powerful, but whether it can be transported to Chang'an city or not, Cheng Yaojin's heart is too big.

"Forget it!" Cheng Yaojin gave it up with a regretful face.

"This is not good, this is not good!..." Merton picked out more than ten weapons that are not suitable for display. Rao is so. There are still many weapons to choose in front of the public.

Linghu de Yu frowned and said, "there are still too many weapons. If all of them participate, the time is not enough."

"That's not good. I've been working hard for so long. The etiquette Department said no. Cheng Yaojin was worried.

"The Chinese army can only give you ten squadrons!" Linghu de Yu shook his head.

"At least twenty, that's not enough?" Cheng Yaojin said urgently.

"Fifteen, no more." Linghu said firmly.

Seeing that the two were in a stalemate, Merton had to mediate reluctantly: "you don't have to fight anymore, uncle Cheng. These weapons don't have to be displayed alone. Can the square array of knife and shield be one with two, and can the bow and crossbow be repeated? Can you give the crossbow to the Spearman to carry,......"

Merton finally arranged the whole weapons, and the whole audit was over.

"Hoo, finally ready." Linghu de heaved a heavy sigh of relief.

Merton sniffed and said, "Lord Linghu, where is this over? There is more important work to do next?"

"Still have?" Linghu De's heart trembled.

Merton nodded and said, "at the moment, each department is just a plate of loose sand, fighting on its own. What we have to do next is to twist them into a rope, which is the key to the success or failure of the whole parade."

"Twist it into a rope! What should I do?" Linghu Deyu wondered.

"Rehearsal!" Merton said solemnly.
