Wu Chengsi dragged his sick body to sit on the horse, trying to create an image of his body gradually getting better, while Wu Sansi rode his horse and followed the royal car, seeing the immovable and solemn military appearance, he couldn't help but secretly feel broken: "Sure enough, it is an elite division, Yang Fan is a person who can lead troops."
He subconsciously looked ahead, just in time for Yang Fan's tall back, Wu Sansi sighed secretly: "It's a pity that he refuses to be loyal to me."
Although Erzhang is arrogant, the person he relies on is just his aunt's favor, they are not qualified to win the throne at all, Yang Fan is so short-sighted, it is really hateful and annoying" Huang Luo's umbrella covered the place, and the sound of long live came and went, like the angry tide of Qiantang, no matter what kind of people had their thoughts, they were gradually infected by this atmosphere of swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.
When the imperial driver finally stopped in front of the high parade platform, and Taiping and Wan'er supported the empress to the high platform on the left and right, the elderly Wu Zetian seemed to feel that his legs had strength.
It's a pity, this is just a mental effect after all, she walked very slowly, and Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er supported her, Rao is so, when she finally got on the parade platform, she was still a little panting, and her forehead was sweating.
Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly helped the empress sit down on the throne.
The entourage of the ministers ascended to the high platform, and the emperor gave the old and the venerable to sit one by one.
A layer of crushed ice was laid on the wooden frame at the back, Gong E raised a fan, and it was cool when she ascended on the high platform.
According to the military parade system continued by the Tang Dynasty, the emperor should be dressed in military uniform at this time, personally test fire in front of the army, send seven arrows, and then review on the parade platform to highlight the martial arts of the Son of Heaven, but also to show that although each army has its commander, all armies have a common commander: the Son of Heaven.
However, Yang Fan discussed this issue with the Ministry of Rites in advance, the empress herself would never be able to test shoot in front of the army in military uniform, not to mention that the empress didn't know how to ride and shoot at all, even if she was good at riding and shooting, at a very old age, who would dare to let her ride a horse and who would dare to let her test shoot.
If the empress can't test fire, then it's time for the prince to replace it.
But everyone knows that the crown prince is about to be replaced, and it is quite inappropriate to let the current crown prince Li Dan perform martial arts in front of the army, let Li Xian come out of the horse, he is not the prince now, although the matter of changing the prince is well known, but the matter has not yet become a reality, and it is inappropriate to show it publicly.
Moreover, one of these two princes was under house arrest in the East Palace, and the other was imprisoned in the mountains, and they had never ridden a horse for fifteen or sixteen years, and the bow and arrow had not been touched for a long time.
Wu Zetian sat down on the parade platform, Yang Fan galloped straight to the parade platform, the horse went to the stage, Yang Fan pulled the reins of the horse, so that the war horse man stood up, the war horse Xi Yu heard a horse neighing, the people on the ground were like tigers, horses were like dragons, and they appeared like this, and they were full of color.
Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er hooked the corners of their lips at the same time, and they invariably showed a knowing smile.
Li Bao'er, the county lord of Anle, looked at Yang Fan's heroic appearance, and his eyes seemed to be intoxicated for a moment, but Wu Yizong pursed his mouth and showed a sneer of disdain.
The front hooves of the war horse fell sonorously, Yang Fan hugged his fists on the horse, sank into the dantian, and said loudly to the high platform: "Please read your majesty" On the parade platform, Wu Zetian bowed slightly, and the inner servant Gao Gonggong took a step forward, whisked the dust in his hand, and proclaimed loudly: "The emperor has a will, the parade begins" The parade officer Lu Maofeng raised his whip and hurriedly urged the war horse, galloped past in front of the three armies, pulled out the long knife at his waist, and shouted loudly, the three armies were like a mountain, the queue changed, and the school field was orderly, not chaotic at all, and the scene of the neat team converging the formation and moving the venue was also very ornamental.
Yao Chong, the prime minister who was born in the military department, couldn't help but praise his beard: "The soldiers are strong, the ranks are serious, the flags are mixed, the armor is shining, the mountains are like mountains, the momentum moves the world, and the division of the real tiger is also."
Wu Zetian heard Yao Xiang's heartfelt praise, and his heart was even more proud, this was an army formed under her order, and she naturally had a feeling of closeness psychologically, standing on such a majestic and majestic platform, watching such a powerful and magnificent lineup, which made her feel a strong sense of pride in her heart.
Parade officer Lu Maofeng returned to the parade platform, his eyebrows and cheeks were faintly sweating, but he had never been so excited, this was in front of the emperor and the Manchu Dynasty, and in front of the most powerful group of people in the world.
As soon as he saw that the school yard had been quickly cleared, Lu Maofeng waved the long knife in his hand and gave another order, the flag was unfurled, and a cavalry immediately rode out of battle.
This cavalry is wearing light armor, knives, shields, spears, chain hammers in hand, the main general has a trumpeter, gongs and drums around the sound of various military orders, with the flag orders and musical instruments issued by the military orders, the soldiers gallop on horseback, or attack or defense, or change formations or join formations, and begin to simulate the cavalry battle scene.
In the eyes of the layman, such a performance is purely lively, and there is nothing to see at all, like those princesses and county lords, at this time it is not so much watching the military drill, but watching which soldier is more handsome and riding is more sassy.
But in the eyes of the generals and ministers who came from the army, they can see the combat effectiveness of this army.
In their eyes, from the every move of this cavalry team, every move, the coordination of formations, and the coordination of attack and defense, it is completely possible to infer the combat strength of this army, even the most picky general, at this time, they cannot help but nod secretly.
After the cavalry battle, there is also foot warfare, and the infantry combat is divided into street warfare, city defense warfare, field warfare, equestrianism, martial arts, archery skills, and all kinds of skills are displayed one by one.
Military appearance, military technology, military science, military weapons, and military bases were displayed one by one, and it was not until nearly noon that the military discipline project began.
After a morning of drilling, at this time, it was noon, the scorching heat, nine cars of ice cubes had been used on the high platform, and the ice water on the stage was dripping.
All the soldiers returned to the school again, standing in a neat line, Chu Madge threw a headless arrow, and whoever was hit stepped forward to answer the military discipline.
With Chu Yange's archery skills, he actually did a trick in the selection of people, but because the performance process lasted for a total of two months, these cheating soldiers who were specifically responsible for reciting military laws memorized not only one volume, but all military laws memorized.
Therefore, Yang Fan simply handed over the matter of inspecting military discipline to the empress, and the empress casually flipped through the military laws such as the law of good luck and the palace guard order, and designated one, and then Gonggong Gao shouted to the below, ordering the random inspection soldiers to recite it aloud.
Originally, after watching until noon, Wu Zetian, who was already tired, was able to participate in person, so he regained his interest.
Wu Yizong really wanted to find Yang Fan a little bit wrong on the big reading, it didn't need to be too serious, as long as he filled in some blockages so that he wouldn't be too displeased with the emperor, but this measure was not easy to grasp, and he never waited for the opportunity.
The military discipline assessment is the easiest to cheat, and he is also the one who leads the troops, how can he not know this.
However, the random inspection soldiers were selected by archery, and he really didn't believe that anyone could do it foolproof, and it was the emperor himself who was excited to make the assessment, Wu Yizong considered it again and again, and still gave up the plan that might anger Wu Zetian.
"Poof" In the middle of the procession, a knight shook his body and suddenly fell from his horse.
Among the thousands of troops, it is not easy for people to see the occasional person falling off the horse, but the whole team stands neatly, straighter than the line drawn, and one of them occasionally has a little movement, which is naturally clear at a glance.
"Yikes" Princess Taiping exclaimed, covered her mouth with her hand and said, "Someone has suffered from heat stroke."
"Poof" As if suffering from a plague, with the first one to fall off the horse, the second and third came one after another, Wu Zetian couldn't help frowning when he saw this, leaned forward slightly and was about to speak, but when she looked at the audience, Yang Fan, the chief inspector, Xu Liang, the deputy chief inspector, and Lu Maofeng, the military parade, the three of them stood there straight, as if they were made of steel, and they were not moved at all, and Wu Zetian swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
Huang Luo's umbrella was covered by the breeze above his head, Wu Zetian slowly leaned back on the chair, turned his head to Prime Minister Wei Yuanzhong and said: "The thousand cavalry army is strictly disciplined, Yang Fan has a good way to govern the army, and I am very relieved." ” Wei Yuanzhong bowed and said: "Your Majesty has the wisdom to know people."
Wu Zetian smiled.
Yang Fan stood there straight, sweat rolling down his cheeks and dripping from his jaw.
But the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and the eyes and nose that emerged from the middle of his cheeks and eyebrows seemed to have shallow laugh lines.
The weather is indeed very hot today, Yang Fan has already thought of this problem, and prepared buckets of mung bean soup, sour plum soup, and salt boiled water on the side of the school yard in advance.
There were twelve carts of ice that the inner court had openly pulled out of the palace, but in fact there were fifteen carts, and the extra three carts of ice were now half-floating and half-sinking in the soup bucket.

With these drinks to quench their thirst, the thousand knights were all physically strong, and they had adapted to the heat after training for so long in the scorching heat, but they would not faint from heat stroke.
However, on such a hot day, if you don't add some special effects, how can you strengthen the impression of the superior Yang Fan was secretly laughing in his heart at this time: "These boys, they fall quite alike, it seems that the Son of Heaven is current, and they also know how to fake the real thing, lest they be seen as flawed." ” In the audience, the soldier who was sampled had a loud voice, and without pause, he recited a total of twenty-eight paragraphs of the military discipline that the emperor had sampled one by one, and Gonggong Gao held the military discipline one by one, and after he finished speaking, he turned around and bowed to Wu Zetian and said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty, there are a total of nine soldiers in the random inspection, and a total of eighteen military laws are sampled, and there is no mistake."
At this time, several more people fell from heat stroke, but the three armies stood solemnly, and no one moved, let alone helped the soldiers who suffered from heat stroke.
Wu Zetian stood up and said loudly to the audience: "All the soldiers have worked hard, it is said that when it is noon, the heat is unbearable, and the general inspection school can make the three armies disperse for the time being, so that they can rest and rest."
Yang Fan turned around to receive the order, and ordered the parade officer Lu Maofeng to give a military order loudly, and the flag waved, the emperor and the emperor's relatives and relatives on the high platform, and the nobles and ministers thought that the three armies would retreat like a tide, but they didn't want the soldiers of the three armies to listen to the military order, so they all brushed off their horses, knelt on one knee, and said in unison to the high platform: "Your Majesty is merciful, cherish the soldiers, how dare the ministers spare their lives."
I am willing to conquer the four seas for Your Majesty, so that the four Yi will submit, and the world will return to the heart of my emperor, long live, long live, long live" Wu Zetian didn't expect a casual order, in exchange for such a majestic response from the soldiers of the three armies, for a while, her heart fluctuated, and she was so excited that she couldn't help herself, she nodded again and again, took two steps forward, walked to the side of the high platform and stopped, opened her arms, and said loudly: "Okay, these are all my soldiers, they are all my soldiers" is to be continued
