Liu Che was slightly stunned: "Review... military parade?"

Liu Tan nodded and said, "Father will know tomorrow."

Liu Che was so angry that he laughed. This little bastard had even learned to keep him in suspense.

He reached out and rubbed Liu Tan's head, without saying much, and turned his attention to the field. It would have been fine if he hadn't looked, but when he looked, he found that some people might have drunk too much and started dancing on the field!

Once there was a first one, there was a second one. Huo Guang initially wanted to ask someone to maintain order, but later on he simply couldn't handle it. Moreover, seeing that the emperor had no intention of intervening, he simply gave up and sat there alone, feeling exhausted.

For a moment, the field seemed like a riot of demons, but it was really lively. Liu Che even felt itchy and wanted to go down and dance a few times.

Liu Tan is so considerate. Although he is not very good at reading people's expressions, he knows that most people have no resistance to such scenes. Who doesn't like lively atmosphere?

So he simply pulled Liu Che up and said, "Your Majesty, you just ate too much meat. To prevent indigestion, go move around."

Anyway, it is open air, so it is neither too hot nor too cold inside the hall.

Liu Tan pulled Liu Che all the way to the center of the field.

At this time, the people dancing in the venue were generally only slightly tipsy, and those who were really drunk had already been pulled away.

After seeing Liu Che, they were all a little hesitant for a moment.

Liu Tan waved his hand generously and said, "Everyone, continue playing."

He turned and snapped his fingers at the musicians playing next to him, asking them to change to a piece with a lively drum beat that was more suitable for dancing.

Driven by this music, most people started moving again. Liu Che didn't feel any hesitation, as it was normal for the upper class to enjoy music and dance.

Of course, this dance is not the kind performed by dancers, but a normal social activity.

After Liu Tan pulled Liu Che down, he realized that he actually couldn't dance.

After all, since he came through the time until now, he has not encountered many occasions where he needs to dance, and given his status and position, no one dares to force him to dance.

Now, he has shot himself in the foot. This time, he took the initiative to pull Liu Che down.

So for the first time, Liu Tan hoped that Liu Che would refute him, and then turn around and go back to rest.

However, Liu Che seemed to be quite immersed in it, so Liu Tan had no choice but to follow him miserably, moving his hands and legs randomly to try not to be exposed.

Fortunately, there were so many people on the field, as everyone was squeezed here and there and their movements were not very standard.

Liu Tan was not that conspicuous either. Of course, no one dared to squeeze next to Liu Che. Even Liu Tan stepped aside to delay his father's performance.

After Liu Che moved for a while, he started sweating, his mind became clearer, and he felt a little tired.

When he turned around, he saw Liu Tan standing behind him, kicking and stretching his hands in a perfunctory manner, and occasionally getting bumped by others. His small body looked particularly fragile, so he simply reached out and grabbed him, then left the field with Liu Tan.

After coming out, Liu Tan breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Father, do you want to take a bath and rest?"

Liu Che made a sound from his nose, and Liu Tan immediately understood. He waved his hand and asked someone to bring a sedan chair.

Liu Che patted his head and left with great satisfaction.

Liu Tan breathed a sigh of relief, and when he returned, he saw Huo Guang standing at the door looking at him expressionlessly.

Liu Tan immediately covered his chest and said, "My Prime Minister, are you trying to scare me to death in the middle of the night?"

Huo Guang said in a deep voice, "Your Highness has done nothing wrong, so what is there to fear?"

Liu Tan smiled guiltily and said, "It's so cold, don't stand outside, go in quickly."

Huo Guang took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, next time you have any new ideas, could you please tell me first?"

He really wanted to kneel down to Liu Tan. He didn't know where Liu Tan got so many weird ideas. He had told Liu Tan not to do anything rash before, but Liu Tan did it anyway.

Liu Tan asked from the side: "If I told you first, would you agree?"

Huo Guang: "Huh."

Liu Tan stood up straight and curled his lips and said, "Look, you won't agree, but don't you think the emperor is very happy tonight?"

Huo Guang asked, "Do you know how dangerous this night is?"

Liu Tan asked, "You said the people inside are dangerous? They were all brought here by the Emperor. The Emperor himself doesn't suspect them, so why don't you think too much about it?"

Huo Guang's response to him was to throw up his sleeves and go back to clean up the mess.

Liu Tan took two quick steps and walked side by side with him, whispering to him as they walked: "Tell me how old you are, you act like an old man every day, you deserve to be unable to find a wife."

Huo Guang said angrily, "If you had given me some peace of mind, this wouldn't have happened."

Liu Tan said with a guilty conscience, "When have I ever lost my sense of propriety? Even though we're familiar with each other, you can't slander me like this."

Huo Guang casually asked, "What are you going to do tomorrow?"

Liu Tan said, "Tomorrow, please ask Father to come and see my palace."

Huo Guang thought about it and felt that this was nothing. From this perspective, Liu Tan had indeed arranged Liu Che's schedule very full.

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard Liu Tan ask, "Do you think the schedule is too tight and tiring for Father?"

Huo Guang said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty will tell you if he is tired. He will not be polite to you."

Liu Tan thought about it and let Huo Guang deal with those people, and he went back to rest.

Early the next morning, Liu Tan took Liu Che all the way to Shuofang City.

While in the car, Liu Tan said with a smile, "After watching the military parade today, I will take Father to visit Shuofang City tomorrow, so I have to ask Father to stay at my place tonight."

Liu Che didn't care. After all, his son was very considerate and would always make arrangements for him. What he was most curious about now was what a military parade was.

After arriving at the palace, Liu Che looked out the window, paused, and looked at Liu Tan again.

When they were going to the temporary palace, Liu Tan gave Liu Che various introductions along the way, but he did not do so when they were almost at the palace.

Liu Che was a little surprised at first, but now he realized that there was really nothing much to introduce, because this palace was really too ordinary.

Not to mention that it is not as good as the palaces of Liu Fuling and Liu Bo, it may even be not as exquisite and beautiful as the Shi He Garden awarded to him by Emperor Wu of Han, except for its larger area.

Needless to say, once you get inside, the style is completely different from that of the Changshou Palace. It can be seen that someone is taking care of the flowers, plants and trees in the palace, but in fact, those trees still follow the laws of the seasons. Even if the leaves have not fallen off, they have turned yellow and hung on the branches.

After entering the palace, it couldn't be more ordinary. However, the main hall looked different from other places.

But Liu Che could tell at a glance that the differences were due to rearrangement, and the interior arrangements were all according to his wishes.

Liu Che saw all of this, but on the surface he still chatted and laughed with Liu Tan.

After lunch, Liu Tan took Liu Che to the training ground.

To be honest, it wasn't that he didn't want to take longer, but the problem was that he only had a thousand people, and in order to appear more numerous, they were divided into ten teams, including archers, crossbowmen, cavalry, charioteers, shieldmen, spearmen, and swordmen.

The crossbowmen are divided into two parts, one is the traditional tread crossbow, and the other is the hand crossbow improved by Liu Tan before.

Then a ceremonial guard came, carrying the Han army flag and Liu Tan's royal flag, which made it look a little better.

It seems that the problem is not the number of people, but the weapons are too simple.

Like the military parades of later generations, the various equipment teams following one after another are dazzling, which is certainly much better than the forced combination of the current ones.

After Liu Che sat down, he observed the parade ground and found that the entire parade ground was paved with cement. There were several targets placed at the farthest point, and it looked very neat.

Liu Tan sat beside him and asked softly, "Father, shall we begin?"

Liu Che blew on the hot honey water in the cup and nodded.

Liu Tan turned his head and glanced at Miao Rui, who walked forward and waved a small red flag.

At this time, Liu Che noticed that the closed door on the far left was opened, and then he heard the uniform and crisp sound of horse hooves.

The first to appear were the honor guard, which was also the cavalry.

It is not easy for the cavalry guard at the front to control the horses and carry the huge flags at the same time.

The sound of horseshoes hitting the concrete floor attracted Liu Che's attention.

His eyes lit up as soon as he saw it.

All the cavalry horses were black with smooth fur. When the sunlight shone on them, one could even see the light reflected from their fur.

They were also wearing black clothes, black armor, and black helmets, and even had a black mask below their noses.

Everyone rode on their horses with their backs straight, their movements were almost the same, and the team, dressed entirely in black, looked quite bleak and murderous.

Even if it is just a guard of honor, they are trained like normal soldiers.

Because it was winter, and the thing that the Northern Border Kingdom had the most in winter was wind, so the Han army flag and Liu Tan's royal flag fluttered in the wind, and their momentum was evident from their appearance.

The scene, which had just been a little noisy due to someone's private discussion, now became completely silent.

The only sound was the clatter of horseshoes on the pavement.

After the honor guard walked to the center, except for the person carrying the flag, everyone else suddenly turned their bodies slightly, raised their right hands, placed them on their abdomens, and bowed their heads to salute the viewing platform.

There was a burst of exclamations. Anyone who could ride a horse knew how difficult this move was. The most important thing was that the horses they were riding actually lowered their heads slightly at the same time, as if they were saluting the emperor.

At this time, Liu Che had changed from his previous carelessness to sitting up straight.

After the cavalry passed the middle, their movements returned to their original state.

Following behind them was also a group of cavalry, but each of these cavalrymen was holding a long spear in his hand.

When they were in the middle of the line, they suddenly tilted the long swords in their hands forward, as if they were about to attack.

The whole movement was very smooth and efficient, even the posture and angle maintained by Changshuo were the same.

After the cavalry came the normal infantry. When the shield soldiers passed by the viewing platform, they did not march in step, but simply struck their shields twice in unison.

The various branches of the army that followed them also saluted Liu Che in their own ways.

Even though those etiquettes were not strict in the strict sense and did not conform to the rules of etiquette, no one was picky about it at this moment.

Because everyone was immersed in shock at this time, these teams came and left silently, leaving behind only the orderly footsteps and the friction sounds when doing things.

Liu Che and others were impressed by the soldiers' neatness, too neat.

No matter what the movement was, these soldiers saw the heads form a line no matter how they looked at them horizontally, vertically, or even sideways.

The Han officials, who had never experienced a military parade, had never seen such a scene.

Liu Tan looked at the team walking quietly, then looked at the very quiet stands, and couldn't help but regret that he didn't set a slogan for the team because he thought shouting slogans was weird.

He knew that everyone would be amazed, but he never expected that everyone would be so amazed that they were speechless.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became very solemn, as if it were a battle ceremony, which Liu Tan had never expected.

When the crossbowmen appeared, Liu Che was stunned when he saw the troops holding crossbows: "What is that?"
