Everyone in Chengdu has heard about the theme of this military parade, that is, Deng Ming wants to reorganize the triumphal ceremony of returning from Myanmar.

After hearing this news, Meng Zhengfa suddenly realized something was wrong. He had echoed Chen Zuocai before, saying that attacking Myanmar was a waste of money and money, but Deng Ming personally commanded this battle. Of course, the young Tang King could not listen to such words. Therefore, Meng Zhengfa immediately changed his course and prepared several poems and essays to read aloud at Deng Ming's military parade, praising the brilliant martial arts of the last time the royal army conquered Myanmar and showed his might in foreign lands.

Chen Zuocai was still stubborn and insisted that since he had not saved the emperor, he could have gained nothing, so he did not intend to congratulate Deng Ming, and did not prepare any poems that praise him. Meng Zhengfa did not force him, but he did not intend to imitate him. In his opinion, Chen Zuocai was determined to play the role of a strong man, and Deng Ming would also follow the method of buying bones for his reputation, and treat Chen Zuocai preferentially to win the hearts of scholars. However, it is enough to have one such strong man. Meng Zhengfa was familiar with history books and knew that although the emperor needed a talented scholar like Chen Zuocai to add color to himself, he also needed a well-behaved minister who liked to guess the best - Meng Zhengfa did not intend to compete with Chen Zuocai for the position of "Strong Man" with extremely limited positions.

As for the bad things that had been said before in the Battle of Myanmar, there was no need to worry. At that time, Meng Zhengfa was confused by Gong Yan. Seeing that all the celebrities in the academy said that the Battle of Myanmar was futile, he accidentally said a few words to the wind. Now that the Duke Baoguo showed his verbal expression, Meng Zhengfa immediately corrected the mistakes, and did not hesitate to "use today's me to fight yesterday's me". Some scholars could not hide their face and were embarrassed to change their words in public immediately; but Meng Zhengfa was not the kind of confused insect who could not tell which is more important, "leader's intention" or "personal face". If it was handled properly, it would even be an opportunity to let Deng Ming understand that he was a good minister who would definitely take the will of the leader as his will - he had already shaved his head and had no chance to play the role of a tough guy anyway.

In addition to preparing for the rituals, Hui Shiyang also won the position of commander-in-chief of the Triumph Ceremony from Liu Jinge. He considered himself a veteran of several dynasties and was proficient in various etiquettes. He must have organized the entire event solemnly and seriously, which made Deng Ming very happy to see this. Originally, Gong Yan was the Minister of the Dashun Li Government, and Gong Yan was also very skilled in handling various etiquette activities, but Hui Shiyang claimed that he had not done anything for a long time and took over all the things.

At first, Liu Jinge disagreed because he knew that Deng Ming did not like others to bow to him. When the Rangers came to convey the order, he also told him that Deng Ming meant to let fellow scholars move freely, as long as he did not squeeze out the road.

However, Hui Shiyang pointed out that when Emperor Taizu of Han saw his ministers shouting and bowing to the mountains, he was immediately happy and said that he knew it was the joy of the emperor since then. It can be seen that this is human nature, and no matter which hero can escape it, he went further, Deng Mingping was approachable, so he did not require a grand welcome ceremony for him. However, the ministers were loyal to the emperor, the more they were, the more they had to insist on the monarch and his ministers, father and son, and they must present the best etiquette to the monarch - otherwise what else should these ministers be used? Yes, Zhao Kuangyin was wearing a yellow robe, but this was the role of the ministers. If Zhao Kuangyin did not pretend to be asleep and wait for his subordinates to come down to give the yellow robe, but instead found someone to embroider the dragon robe and then put it on in public, what would it be?

Hui Shiyang used the allusion of the Han Taizu, which was very convincing. Liu Jinge knew that Deng Ming admired Liu Bang quite a lot and called Liu Bang a chic, heroic hero and an irresistible real man in front of them many times. After being persuaded by Hui Shiyang, Liu Jinge acquiesced to him to organize some officials to rehearse the welcoming ceremony.

However, Liu Jinge was still careful and did not publicly issue an administrative order to announce Hui Shiyang's responsibility for the matter. He did not order his subordinates to listen to Hui Shiyang's command. He just provided some convenience for Hui Shiyang's arrangements and did not stop him. If Deng Ming was unhappy, Liu Jinge could say that this was all Hui Shiyang's own business. Even if Deng Ming knew it, this was what Hui Shiyang said. His subordinates were loyal to their work, and even if they flattered the horse's legs, their boss would be happy. As long as there was an excuse, they would not pursue it. If Deng Ming liked it tightly, then it would be time for Liu Jinge to perform his merits at that time. Several years of administrative work were very training-Liu Jinge was not a young man who only knew how to fight one-on-one.

The next morning, when Deng Ming and the Rangers arrived at the city gate on time, Liu Jinge was nervous and took his entourage out to greet him. Chen Zuocai and Meng Zhengfa had already arrived. The former had his face tensely planned to use this expression to express his protest; while the latter was muttering words, and was still reviewing his poems, and scrutinizing the tone and expressions of the recitation with great effort.

Gong Yong, the general of the camp, has not appeared for a long time, and Hui Shiyang, the commander-in-chief of the etiquette team, was missing. In the past two days, Hui Shiyang urgently trained a etiquette team of hundreds of people. Although the number was not large, Hui Shiyang said that soldiers are more important than elites, not many. When Deng Ming rode a horse into the city, the onlookers must be in a mess. Hundreds of well-trained "elite soldiers and strong generals" suddenly gave big gifts in an orderly manner, and at the same time, they made neat congratulations, which made them stand out. After surpriseing the Duke of Baoguo, they shocked everyone.

Liu Jinge agreed to this plan, but now Deng Ming has arrived, but the commander-in-chief has not come. The Secretary of the Li Government disappeared together, otherwise Gong Yong could definitely do it for him.

"Has Mr. Hui arrived?"

While Liu Jinge was still confused and uneasy, Deng Ming's problem had already come to his head, and he blurted out: "Not yet."

After the Duke Baoguo arrived, he mentioned Hui Shiyang as soon as he spoke, which made Liu Jinge even more surprised. He observed the people around him with his own light, but did not notice anything abnormal.

After waiting for a while, Deng Ming finally seemed a little impatient and said again: "Since Mr. Hui has not arrived yet, we will not wait. I heard that you have prepared a bowing ceremony? Didn't I say that you should not insult the fame of the court?"

Liu Jinge complained in his heart. No wonder Deng Ming asked Hui Shiyang where he was, but this matter was decided the day before yesterday. There were not many participants. He checked it around just now and didn't notice anyone's expression was abnormal.

As for the one Deng Ming said that he was not allowed to insult the fame of the court, Liu Jinge was not the time when he was appointed as the chief official in Chengdu a few years ago. Now who doesn’t know that Deng Ming’s reason is simply a vain? Hui Shiyang said it well, let alone the lord, let alone the scholar, would officials dare not bow down when they see the old man? Didn’t the old man have to bend his knees when he sees the old man? If Hui Shiyang had not worshipped the big Buddha of Wang An, how could Donglin have achieved the decisive achievements? Later, Wen Tiren reported that Donglin sold official positions and titles and cheated on the imperial examination. If he hadn’t worshipped Cao Huachun and Cao in time, how could he turn against Wen Tiren out of the court with one blow? Wen Tiren is the best counterexample. His knees were quite hard to his father-in-law. As a result, Eunuch Cao and others talked in the emperor’s ears and became "eunuchsmen".

"Okay, this matter is cancelled." Deng Ming did not give Liu Jinge more time to think, so he waved his hands and gave orders, and then he turned to look at Xiong Lan: "President Xiong, are the things ready?"

"Don't worry, admiral, everything is ready." Xiong Lan promised with a solemn expression.

At this point, Liu Jinge still didn't know who betrayed him and cursed in his heart... In the past year, he has always regarded the Qingcheng faction of the Senate as the primary enemy. After Meng Zhengfa arrived in Chengdu, his energy was attracted to the academy again, and he relaxed his vigilance towards Xiong Lan. Two days ago when Hui Shiyang proposed, Xiong Lan and others were also present, and they also signed an offensive and defensive alliance with Liu Jinge. Unexpectedly, he sold him in a turn, and his face was innocent just now. Before Deng Ming solved the answer, Liu Jinge could not see any flaws.

I vaguely felt that the prefect Liu beside me was gazeing an angry look, but Xiong Lan did not take it seriously. Two days ago, Hui Shiyangbo led the other party, and it sounded like he analyzed Deng Ming well, but Xiong Lan knew that it was actually a big mistake. If we were to guess Deng Ming's likes and dislikes, Xiong Lan always boasted of himself as the number one person in western Sichuan - he had never seen the legendary Prime Minister Zhou Peigong, but he praised him privately at Admiral Deng. Xiong Lan knew that Zhou Peigong was not an easy person, so he humbly did not claim to be the best in the world.

"I have surrendered to the Admiral three times. How could you imagine the danger? Don't you have a good father? How could Admiral Deng be considered as an ordinary person?" Xiong Lan remained silent on her face, and she mocked Liu Jinge in her heart, and even more contemptuous of the senior governor Hui Shiyang sent from Kuidong: "It's like this Chunxi Road. When Admiral Deng asked everyone to name them, I was the only one who shouted "Deng Highway" in the distance. Admiral Deng's eyes lit up at that time and almost agreed. Unfortunately, it's a pity that these idiots don't know how to carry sedan chairs and have random names. In the end, Admiral Deng was embarrassed to get up and called this Chunxi Road."

So far, Xiong Lan's only major mistake was that she once instigated Deng Ming to listen to Chen Zuocai's class. However, failure was the mother of success. Since then, Xiong Lan thought that her ability to figure Deng Ming has reached a higher level: "The old man Hui Shiyang said nothing wrong, that is to follow the admiral's preferences. But the admiral really doesn't like to bow, so the admiral is willing to be on an equal footing with everyone and the scholar. As long as she follows this idea, she will never make mistakes; if anyone goes against it, she will wait to slap the horse and get kicked on the leg!"

Many people agreed with Hui Shiyang's suggestion, and even Xiong Lan's teacher Qin Xiucai hesitated. However, Xiong Lan was extremely determined and immediately sent someone to follow the Rangers to report to Deng Ming, reporting the "conspiracy" of Hui Shiyang, Liu Jinge and others to Baoguo Duke. Not long after, the returned envoy brought back the good news that Xiong Lan expected. Deng Ming handed over the follow-up work to Xiong Lan. Judging from the content, if there was no report from him, this job would definitely be given to Liu Jinge.

"Okay, let's go into the city."
