Chapter 11 Entering the Palace and Facing the Saint
Three months have passed in a blink of an eye, and the weather is gradually getting hotter, Su Qingluan has to go to a training camp on the outskirts of Beijing almost every other day for the past three months, and his life is quite fulfilling. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Many ministers in the court are very concerned about this matter, and even the harem concubines often ask the queen. However, Su Qingluan was very concerned about this matter, and specially transferred a team of Imperial Forest Army from the emperor to drain the water guarding the training camp, and affirmed, "If you want to know the results of the training, you can only wait patiently until the end of the training." When everyone saw this, they had to wait until the day when the training was over.
On June 13, Su Qingluan took Su Qingyu to the training camp on the outskirts of Beijing early in the morning, and yesterday, a total of 386 people were tested, and in the end, only 200 people remained, almost half of which were brushed off. Although the upper limit given to her by the emperor was 300 people, Su Qingluan said, "Soldiers, the most important thing is to be fine but not too much, if you add the eliminated people in order to make up enough 300 people, then, when you come to the battlefield in the future, you will let them die." ”
Su Qingluan was dressed in a big red phoenix palace dress today, with a noble bun on his head, and the eight-tailed phoenix that symbolized his identity swayed and shone in the sun. The 200 people who were selected to become the women's guards also changed into uniform clothes at this time.
Unlike the heavy armor worn by men, their clothes and trousers are made of special leather armor, and their heads are not heavy iron helmets, but leather helmets made of the same material as the leather armor on their bodies. In appearance, this equipment is not only light and agile compared to ordinary armor, but also suitable for women to wear. And it looks very simple, but I don't know that this leather armor is made of King Kong, although there is only a thin layer, but it is several grades higher than ordinary armor protection. Of course, the price is more than three times more expensive than ordinary armor. But this dress undoubtedly makes everyone look heroic, and there is a feeling that women don't let their eyebrows go.
In addition to a spear, each person was equipped with a handy weapon, most of them using one-handed swords or knives, and some were equipped with bows and arrows. Only a few people are different from the rest of their own requirements to customize special weapons, one of the women named Zhao Hong is a widow who lost her husband, was driven out of the in-laws and lived on the street after seeing the emperor and registered, all the way to become a member of the women's guard, this woman is twenty-three years old this year, bold personality, is the largest of all, she asked for a weapon is a two and a half feet long scissors, and then she made a slight change, in the battle can be changed into two sharp knives.
The other is the daughter of a blacksmith from Jingzhou, named Li Qianqian, but she is not worthy of her name, she is a girl who is taller than ordinary men, and because of this tiger's back, she is now nineteen years old and has not married. According to her, she has been working with her father Li Blacksmith since she was eight years old, so she has infinite strength, and she deliberately asked for a pair of square-headed hammers weighing 80 pounds each. And he has a short temper, once he is in a hurry, he throws a hammer over, and he can't hit anyone and smashes a hole on the ground.
The last one really surprised Su Qingluan, that was Yao Ziyu, this girl was not only not scared away by Su Qingluan's words on the first day, but also left to successfully become a member of the women's guard, and what she asked for was a spear and an ordinary sword, but the weapon other than the sword was a soft sword, which was usually wrapped around her waist in case of emergency.
Behind the two hundred guards were another one hundred and eighty-six who had been eliminated, and their faces were full of envy when they saw that the guards were so imposing.
Su Qingluan looked at everyone's expressions in his eyes, and said comfortingly, "Today, the first team of women's guards in Dajing is officially established at this moment, and those who are not selected should not be discouraged, if they are not selected, it does not mean that you are bad, but you are also very strong, but the strongest are more powerful, and you are just defeated in the hands of people who are more powerful than you." I'll be re-recruiting every year from now on, so you can stay in reserve and wait for the next opportunity. Seeing the faces of the people behind her, she turned her face and said to the well-armed people in front of her, "And you, the elite of the elite I personally selected, you may know that the women's guards I proposed to form are unprecedented in the history of Dajing." Therefore, there are many ministers in the DPRK who are also not optimistic about us, today, take out your skills, let those sour people take a good look, women, no worse than men, women, more powerful than some men, stronger!"
Su Qingluan's words made everyone present boil with blood, and their faces flushed with excitement, and they couldn't wait to find someone to compete now.
Su Qingluan saw that the effect of his words had been achieved, and then said, "Today, I will take you into the palace to meet Your Majesty today, compete with the palace guards, defeat them, let those ministers see your strength, and let Dajing see your strength!"
"Good! Defeat them, defeat them!"
Seeing this, Su Qingluan said loudly, "Okay, let's go!" After speaking, he walked to the carriage not far away, and the guards behind all rode on their horses, followed Su Qingluan's Fengluan incense car, and slowly walked towards the palace.
An hour later, everyone arrived at the city gate, and the people in the city knew that the eldest princess would enter the palace with the women's guards today, so the road was surrounded by people watching the excitement. In fact, Su Qingluan's proposal to set up a women's personal guard team not only disapproved of many ministers, but also many people among the common people did not agree, they felt that women should embroider flowers and flutter butterflies at home, why should men show their heads outside, this is really insulting. Therefore, the success or failure of the women's personal guard is also related to whether the status of Dajing women can change.
So they all came to see how the female guards were doing today, and not long after, Su Qingluan and his party had already entered the city and slowly walked towards the palace in front of everyone, and the image of the women's personal guards also completely subverted the men's perception of women. For a while, there were fewer opposing voices in the crowd and more words of admiration.
Passing through the crowded bazaar, passing by the gate of the mansion of the dignitaries and nobles, Su Qingluan led her personal guards all the way into the palace, and the emperor and others had been waiting for a long time.
The place of the competition between the two sides is the square outside the Xuanting Hall of the Emperor of the Early Dynasty, and in addition to the emperor and queen mother and the queen mother, the concubines and concubines of the harem, the princes, princesses, and princes and ministers are all here, and there are already two hundred guards guarding the palace on one side of the square. Some of these people came to see the excitement, and some of them came purely to dismantle the stage, as long as Su Qingluan lost the competition between the two parties today, then these people immediately wrote a letter to propose the disbandment of the women's guards.
Su Qingluan's carriage drove until it stopped in front of the steps below the Xuanting Palace, and after Su Qingluan's carriage stopped, the women's guards behind came down in unison. One by one, they were vigorous, and they saw that the harem concubines nodded and praised. And the emperor's eyes were also satisfied.
After getting off the horse, someone in the personal guard team immediately came forward to serve Su Qingluan and got out of the car, Su Qingluan got out of the car with a generous demeanor, and knelt down with Su Qingyu, "Luan'er (Qingyu) and the personal guards knocked to see the father, the queen, and the imperial grandmother." The guards all knelt on the ground and bowed to the emperor. "Long live my emperor, long live", "Queen Chitose Chitose", "Queen Mother Chitose Chitose. ”
The emperor smiled, "Let's all be flat." Then he said to the eunuch on the side, "Give the eldest princess and the Nine Emperor Princes a seat." ”
"Emperor Xie" Everyone got up again, and there was no trace of nervousness on their faces when they saw so many nobles for the first time.
"Father Xie. "Emperor Xie" Su Qingluan and Su Qingyu stepped on the steps together and walked towards the emperor and others.
When Su Qingluan's sister and brother took their seats, a eunuch raised a gong below and announced the start of the game.
At this time, the commander in charge of the palace guards was Su Qingluan's cousin, who was loyal and brave to Su Jin. Su Jin is in his early forties this year, and he doesn't approve of Su Qingluan's formation of a women's personal guard, so in the face of a group of little women, he has disdain on his face. At this time, he was also sitting next to the emperor, and when he saw that the two pairs of men and horses had arrived, he stood up and saluted the emperor, and loudly explained the rules of the competition to everyone.
The competition was divided into two rounds, the first round, each side sent ten people to compete one-on-one in turn. In the second round, all 200 people from both sides competed in a mixed competition. When Su Jin said this, he couldn't help but blush, although these female dolls were dressed up quite like that, but he deliberately selected more elite subordinates to compete today, in case these big men didn't have a serious start, even if they won the game, they would have no face to say!
Su Qingluan naturally knows Su Jin's character, although he is usually machismo, he is a good man who cherishes the jade. At the moment, he smiled at him and said, "Uncle don't be embarrassed, this competition is very fair in Luan'er's opinion, and I also ask the soldiers under my uncle's command not to care about them being women and not doing their best, otherwise they will be unwilling to lose when the time comes." ”
Su Jin couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he heard her say this, she clearly said that these people he brought today would not necessarily win, but would lose. What a joke, all the Ouchi guards who worked in the palace had been training in the barracks for more than two years, how could they lose to these female dolls who had only been locked up in the training camp for a few months. If they really lose today, let them go to the border to blow the cold wind. Even women in dresses can't beat them, can they still protect the emperor?
"My niece is too full of words, it's a good thing to have self-confidence, but how can those female soldiers who have been trained for months be even more powerful than me, the soldiers carefully selected from the barracks?" Su Jin has always had a straight temper, and his speech is also rampant.
Su Qingluan listened to Su Jin's words, and instead of being angry, he laughed, "Uncle also said that it is a good thing to have self-confidence, so let's see what the result is!"
When Su Jin heard her say this, he could only wait for his own side to win before arguing with her. Stand up and declare the game open.
