The chariot wheel system of the Song Dynasty was inherited from the Tang Dynasty, with five wheels made of jade, gold, elephant, leather and wood, and supplemented with auxiliary wheels.
Jade chariots were used for sacrificial offerings, and gold chariots were used for hunting in the suburbs, elephant chariots for walking on the road, leather chariots for patrolling, and wooden chariots for hunting in the fields.
After Zhao Gou established his capital in Lin'an, he studied the system with reference to the books and maps, and reset the three chariots of elephant, leather and wood, but not the secondary chariots.
It's not that I don't have money, it's mainly that I don't have horses.
The jade chariot requires six green horses, the golden chariot requires six red horses, and even this elephant chariot requires six white horses.
The person who is going to be presented to the Prime Minister of Qin's Mansion today is the most luxurious ceremonial stand that the Emperor of Song Dynasty can present.
Coupled with the forty people driving the chariot, as well as the civilian and military generals who were summoned temporarily... Wen said the ceremony, and the military called the battle. Only when both the civil and military are present can it be called a guard of honor.
There were 200 internal servants and 500 guards stationed along the street...
The emperor put on this show at night, and it took more than a thousand people to do it.
It took Zhao Mi an hour to finish the job, and it was because of the concerted efforts of his infantry department.
It's raining heavily today, and it's midnight again, so there aren't many people on the street.
Otherwise, just the people gathered would make Zhao Dushi spend a lot of time worrying about public security.
But what about His Majesty the Emperor?
He waited for a long time but could not wait for the news of the palace's preparations to arrive, so he simply grilled a fish by the river with Zhang Jun, Liu Qi and the others.
After eating, he felt a little sleepy again, so he sent back Zhang Taiwei and Xiang Guangshi without waiting, and took only Liu Qi and Guo Yaoshi with him directly to the Qin Mansion.
Naturally, the people in front of the palace did not dare to stop him. Liu Bang thought for a while and left Liu Qi and Liu Qi outside. He carried the big fish and entered the Qin Mansion.
"I love you! I love you!"
The ghostly screams in the middle of the night woke up many birds in the Qin family's yard. If the Qin family's mansion wasn't big enough and the Wang family slept deeply, the emperor would have been scolded a few times.
Prime Minister Qin was just short of the last few words in a piece of writing. He was disturbed by the cry and lost a bit of strength when he lifted it up...
He was several dozen years old and almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
Even so, he still beat his chest and coughed for a while before he could catch his breath.
"Father……"
"I'm fine..."
Prime Minister Qin's eyes were full of hatred: "Let's go and see who is so brave... Forget it, I'll go there myself!"
With that said, Prime Minister Qin opened the door of the study room, and what he saw was that extremely familiar face.
Also, that fish he mentioned.
"Guan... Guan family," Qin Hui's face twitched, "Why are you here... Everyone in this house is damned, and no one knows about it. I welcome you..."
While he was talking, he saw the emperor looking at himself... and his son with a strange look.
It was as if he had stumbled upon some adultery.
A slight cough called the emperor out of his thoughts. Liu Bang looked at the old man with a pitiful expression... They said he was henpecked. It turned out that there was a hidden secret here.
No wonder the emperor thought so, mainly because at midnight, Prime Minister Qin was staying in the house with a white man who looked like a ghost... The old man's face was still so red, it was difficult not to misunderstand him.
"My dear, look, I have brought you something good!"
With that said, he handed the fish to him.
Prime Minister Qin's brain fell into a brief blank, and it took a while before he remembered to thank him.
"This fish is pretty good. If there is one in Prime Minister Qin's house that knows how to cook it, you can get it now, so as not to wait until tomorrow when the fish loses its flutter and tastes no longer fresh."
He tried hard to find the hidden meaning behind the emperor, but Qin Hui showed no signs of neglect in his hands. He gave the fish to the pretty boy...his son and asked him to take it to the kitchen.
When only the two of them were left in the study, Qin Hui bowed to the emperor again:
"Guan Jia, why did you come here late at night? What urgent matter happened?"
Liu Bang stepped into the inner room, and didn't regard himself as an outsider. He sat directly at the main seat.
"If you say it's nothing important, I don't believe you, and I don't like to talk about it either."
"But if it's really urgent, it really isn't."
"Speaking of which, I still miss you. I haven't seen you for two days, and I always feel empty in my heart. Only when I get to you can I feel fulfilled."
Qin Hui sneered in his heart, but couldn't help but feel happy.
He knew that what Lao Jiu said was half true and half false. He didn't want to think about anything, but he didn't need him.
Come to think of it, people from outside played a role.
"No matter what the official said, I am still guilty. When the official finds out, I will naturally see the old minister... Of course, the resignation I made before is still true."
"What are you saying?"
The emperor suddenly raised his voice, and then said earnestly: "How can the Song Dynasty be without you! My Prime Minister Qin!"
"If you resign, I will find a clan and give up the throne as well!"
"What are you talking about from an official! You are the blessing of all people, so you can't speak like this!"
The two monarchs and ministers seemed to be inseparable from each other, and they seemed to be about to cry.
"My dear, go back. We have found out clearly. It is others who are greedy, and only Zhang Jun's soldiers are greedy. Everything else is innocent, and you are naturally innocent too."
"It's just these days that you have been wronged."
Prime Minister Qin was still more powerful. As soon as the emperor said these words, he burst into tears first.
Liu Bang squeezed his eyes for a long time, but he couldn't do it like him, so he had to speak again about the petition from all the people and the resignation of all the officials.
"My beloved, how can this court be separated from you? You should share my worries for me!"
Qin Hui thought for a long time, thinking that the emperor came here for other reasons.
But I didn't expect that it was just because of this.
Lao Jiu... seems to have changed back, but also seems to have stayed the same.
Calculating the time, indeed, the nearest Jin people coming south from Haizhou will not arrive until tomorrow at the earliest.
But like this, Lao Jiu couldn't bear it anymore.
This is already happening before he even sees his trump card!
Lao Jiu, Lao Jiu, whether you are sincere or not, you are right.
You can't leave me, and you can't leave me.
Qin Hui also knew that according to the emperor's temper, he must have made a huge concession in his heart to allow him to come here, and he should be careful not to overdo it.
I was just thinking about kowtowing and telling a good story about the good relationship between the monarch and his ministers, and let the storyteller in Lin'an City tell the story. The two monarchs and ministers can also leave a good name in the history like Liu Bei and Kong Ming, Li Shimin and Wei Zheng. .
Outside, there was great noise.
It was more than a hundred times louder than the emperor's scream just now.
Liu Bang was still wondering if Zhao Mi had finally arrived, but he heard a female voice:
"Qin Huizhi! I don't even know how to go take a look. Someone dares to act wild in front of your house so late. It's really embarrassing!"
Qin Hui smiled awkwardly: "I'm not very knowledgeable, but I make the officials laugh."
At this moment, outside the gate of the Qin Mansion, Liu Qi looked at Yang Yizhong, who was covered in blood... He didn't know what he had gone through.
This blood was only stained after the rain had subsided. The previous blood had been washed away by the rain.
"Zhengfu..."
"Uncle Xin..." Yang Yizhong's Adam's apple moved, "Please help me tell the officials..."
"Northern Expedition...Northern Expedition!"
As he said that, he was about to break into the Prime Minister's Mansion, but he looked like this and the emperor was still in the mansion. How could Liu Qi dare to let him in:
"Zhengfu! What happened? What are you doing here?!"
"Wait... wait until Qin Hui is killed, and everything will be over."
Liu Qi looked at the man in front of him in disbelief, as if he didn't hear what he said:
"You know what you're talking about? What did you do!"
"Uncle Xin, don't try to stop me!"
Yang Yizhong thought for a long time before he figured out that killing Qin Hui in one night would be the most direct and quickest way to kill him.
Once Qin Hui died, the emperor would no longer have any obstacles to the Northern Expedition... Even if there was, it wouldn't be much.
Liu Qi was older and much smaller than him. He pushed him several times but failed to push him away, so he had to grit his teeth and pull out the knife:
"Zhengfu, don't go any further!"
The two Huaixi Army comrades never expected that one day they would draw their swords and meet each other.
Yang Yizhong looked at the Imperial Guards in front of the palace next to him, and then at Pharmacist Guo who was holding his hands as if watching the excitement...
"Brothers from the front office of the palace, please ask Ambassador Liu to the side!"
"Who dares!"
Although the Palace Chief was under his command, they were directly taking orders from the emperor.
But now, the emperor is inside.
The first few in the queue looked at me and I looked at you, but no one made the first move.
Just as the two were about to take action, there was a rush of horse hooves.
I don't know who else is coming tonight. Everyone looked around and saw a group of people, seemingly hundreds of people.
When they got closer, everyone could see his face clearly.
Liu Qi was overjoyed and shouted loudly: "Good minister! Come and be safe!"
Yang Yizhong fell silent.
When Han Shizhong arrived in Lin'an, he took a detour here...
Is he going to vote for Qin Hui too? Like Taiwei Zhang.
