Chapter 112: Watching the Ceremony
The person who came was a doctor from the Chunguan Mansion.
The next doctor hurriedly walked up to the stage, and humbly saluted the prince and the adults, "Your Royal Highness, the left servant shoots the lord, the servant of the middle of the waiter, and the waiter of the Chen State has just arrived in the capital, hoping to watch the martial arts test." Please also ask the martial arts test to delay for a while, and wait for Chen Guo's attendant to arrive before starting. ”
The Chun Guanfu was responsible for cooperating with each other, and it believed that state affairs were more important than diplomacy, and that all affairs should give way to diplomacy.
Huangfu was angry, "Nonsense." When do you need to decide the starting time for Chen Guoren? Come on, drumming, I announce, the martial arts test has officially begun. ”
The Chunguan Mansion regarded Chen Guo's attendants as guests, but Huangfu Ying didn't care. Depending on the location, the perception will naturally be different. For Huang Fuying, who is crisscrossing the battlefield, any reason is no bigger than his fist. Not only Huangfu Ying, but Ling Shanhe and Zhou Cang also felt that the Chunguan Mansion was too fussful.
The doctor was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him, but he didn't dare to blow up the thorns, even if it was Gao Yuanfeng, the level was higher than him. He muttered, "It's not that you won't be allowed to take the martial arts test, it's just that it's just a little delayed so that the VIPs can watch the ceremony." In the event that Chen and Chen are at odds with each other, will you be able to bear this responsibility?"
But no one paid attention to him at the scene, because the war drums rumbled, and the warriors raised their arms and shouted, "Shake my Great Zhou, invincible in all directions; "The largest martial arts test and the largest promotion in the history of the Zhou State have officially begun.
In fact, there are no tests or competitions in the morning, just registration. Each person went to the more than a dozen registration desks set up by Hongdu Gate School in turn, and recorded their skill level, skill attributes, expertise, and the type of military they wanted to serve, such as sword and shield soldiers, pikemen, archers, scouts, or baggage soldiers, etc. Then receive a form of testing time and location. In the afternoon, we will go to various places for the initial test of skill, martial arts, strength, archery, horsemanship, strategy, etc.
Those who pass the initial will compete tomorrow according to the class to compete for the rank they serve. The more victories you have, the higher your title. The highest, no matter how low the original level is, is directly awarded the five lives.
Those who did not pass the initial period were not eliminated, and they were all awarded the three-life official body and served as grassroots generals in each army. If the original rank has more than three lives, it will not be demoted, and the original rank will be retained. These people will later be promoted by virtue of their achievements.
At this point, Huang Fuying and others are basically fine, just wait for the final competition to determine the top three, and then play. The martial arts test will be carried out for several days, and they are in high positions, and they don't know how many things to be busy, so it is impossible to stay on the scene all the time.
Gao Yuanfeng, the examiners from various armies, went to observe the competition according to their own wishes, pre-selected the talents they wanted, and supervised whether the on-site referees were fair. The referees on the spot are all professors of Hongdu Sect Studies. Huang Fuyu is in charge of all operational matters.
The Ninth Army of the Zhou State, according to the level of combat power and their respective weight in the heart of the King of Zhou, the forbidden army is the unyielding boss. Then Sizheng looked down on the four towns and felt that the four towns were all places for the children of the nobility to retire. But he didn't dare to offend the four towns, because the commanders of the troops were all royal families, such as Zhou Feiyan, such as the third prince Zhou Jie. The generals and officers in the army are mostly rich and noble, such as Zhou Hui, Wen Chao, etc.
The Four Towns Army does not think that its combat strength is inferior to the Four Expeditions, and it feels that the difference is only in numbers. The guys with eyes above the top not only refused to accept the four marches, but also refused to accept the forbidden army. I feel that if my troops can get the same equipment as the forbidden army, they will definitely only be strong and not weak.
Therefore, the relationship between the various armies is not harmonious, even between the four expeditions, or between the four towns, they also do not treat each other and compete with each other to win. It is conceivable that the relationship between the examiners sent by various armies is not much better. As for whether there is an element of drama, it is up to the benevolent and the wise. After all, no one in a position wants to see his subordinates like a family, so there is a suspicion of forming a party for personal gain.
Gao Yuanfeng, as a newcomer to this circle, didn't know whether he didn't know the entanglements and scruples, or he didn't care at all, and he was very arrogant and close to the examiners sent by various armies
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Come. The other eight people thought that Gao Yuanfeng was so bold that he dared to demolish the Dongyang Marquis Mansion was arrogant, but they found that his attitude was extremely modest, and when they lost their minds, they returned the salute one after another. So, a very strange scene appeared in the stands, and the adjutants of the Ninth Army, who had always looked down on each other, actually got together and talked cordially.
Gao Yuanfeng, "Brothers, the younger brother doesn't know anything about the selection of generals, so I still ask your brothers to give me advice." "He really doesn't understand. The largest army he has commanded before, that is, the Great Wind Thieves of more than 300 people. Moreover, the formation and management of the Great Wind Thieves did not need him to worry about it, it had been formed for a long time before he went. He just went to the Gale Thief to train, and all he needed to consider was how to use the power in his hand to grab the most wealth with the least loss.
Now that he has entered the regular army, the scale is as high as tens of thousands, and even more because of the expansion of the army, Gao Yuanfeng has too many places to learn. Under the requirements of Gao Cheng's high outline, I also read a lot of military books and war strategies. But the book is shallow, and when you operate it yourself, you realize that it is not so simple.
He was not ashamed of not knowing it, but he was not ashamed to ask. Gao Yuanfeng's posture not only did not make the adjutants of the various armies despise him, but felt that he was very sincere. As the grandson of the God of War Emperor Fu Ying, it was a great honor for them to put down their shelves and consult in front of them.
Needless to say, the atmosphere was harmonious by the high winds. Eight people are already senior generals in the army, unlike civilian officials who hide so many twists and turns in their hearts, if one person takes the lead and is honest, the others will not have so scruples, and they will discuss the equipment of various branches of the army and their generals at the request of Gao Yuanfeng. Once the estrangement is gone, the big bosses forget each other's unhappiness and argue about the advantages and disadvantages of various plans with red faces. As for going back, due to the influence of their colleagues, most of them will return to the original situation, but at this time today, none of this exists.
Huangfu Ying, Ling Shanhe and other bigwigs looked at this scene in amazement, and they all felt that Gao Yuanfeng, the little guy, seemed to have a kind of magic power. This kind of magic does exist, that is, Gao Yuanfeng gets along with anyone, whether it is a high-ranking official or even the king of Zhou, the common people in the market or even a servant, he puts the other party on the same status as himself, and he will not feel that he is superior, nor will he feel that he is dwarf. Therefore, the words are sincere and unrestrained.
Zhou Cang was very envious, and he hoped that all the civil and military could be so invisible to him, so as to show that he was kind and peaceful, and to show that he was deeply supported. So he also came over and joined the circle. But since there are bad intentions, there will naturally be no desired results. As soon as he joined, the scene suddenly turned cold.
Zhou Cang was unwilling, "That's it, it's rare for the Ninth Army to get together." Today, I will make the east, please drink freely. For the time being, everyone put aside all mundane affairs and only talked about friendship. Brother-in-law, you take the lead. ”
Gao Yuanfeng shook his head secretly, sad for Zhou Cang, your identity is destined to have no friends. Even if they are forced together, everyone is still talking half a sentence and leaving half a sentence, and they can't be happy.
Of course, he couldn't not give Zhou Cang face to face, so he smiled and said, "I'm fine, the generals should be willing, but you have to wait for a while, maybe something will happen." ”
Zhou Cangyi frowned, "What can I do? Today's first test, it doesn't matter if you watch it or not." ”
Gao Yuanfeng pouted towards the gate, "Anping Hou is here." ”
Everyone turned their heads to look outside the school grounds, and sure enough, An Pinghou came over with some people. Several generals secretly admired Gao Yuanfeng's ability to see and listen to all directions, and then realized that Gao Yuanfeng was not really good.
Zhou Chang's identity is comparable to Huangfu Ying and Wen Ze. Therefore, except for Huangfu Ying, who squinted his eyes, the rest of the high-ranking officials, including Ling Shanhe, all came down to greet him in person. Zhou Cang didn't dare to slack off, Zhou Chang's real power was not great, but after all, he was his uncle and grandfather.
Gao Yuanfeng and the eight examiners of various armies also followed behind everyone and walked down the stands to salute Zhou Chang.
Zhou Changyi waved his hand, "Go get busy, I'm not looking for you, I'm here to find this kid." Little brother, if your grandmother doesn't give me face, don't blame me for throwing these burdens on you.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
No, no, it's not a burden, it's a guest, a guest. Boy, you entertained you, and they said it was your old friend. I'll talk to your grandmother about climbing stairs. ”
In public, Zhou Chang's unscrupulous speech is even better than that of Huangfu Ying. Huangfu Ying is often only in his own mansion, not big or small, and he still has to pay attention to one or two outside. But Zhou Chang gave full play to his shamelessness on any occasion. But he is talking such nonsense in front of the juniors, but he is too big and small.
Seeing that Zhou Chang dared to tease his grandmother with words like this in public, Gao Yuanfeng had no respect for the elderly, and snorted, "When my grandfather comes, be careful of your old bones." Get out, get out, you're a burden, I'll take it. ”
Gao Yuanfeng's demeanor and tone of voice gave everyone the feeling that it was not surprise, but envy. Those who dare to talk to Zhou Chang like this and Zhou Chang is not strange may be the only one. Zhou Cang didn't dare to be so debauched, for fear of giving the ministers an unstable impression.
Chen Guolai is indeed the old man of Gao Yuanfeng, the second prince Chen Kun and the county lord Chen Jing.
Gao Yuanfeng arched his hand, "The old thing is annoyed by you, throw the pot to me." Am I mistaken, aren't you disciples of the Danxia Gang? When will you be able to represent Chen Guo?"
Chen Jingyan smiled and squatted slightly and bent over very ladylikely. This etiquette comes from Zhongzhou, which is very different from the etiquette of Yanyu. In recent years, Confucian culture seems to have a kind of contagion, and various places have followed suit. This etiquette makes women less rough and more charming, which is preferred by many nobles.
Chen Kun hugged his fists in return, "Brother Gao really responded to the old saying 'Shibei should be impressed for three days', this is only a little longer apart, you will be in the sixth life, and the foolish brother admires it." The foolish brother was not so lucky, because he was not successful, he was driven down the mountain by the master, and returned to Chen Guo to be a son of the world.
This time, Japan sent an embassy to discuss further deepening the friendship between the two countries and establishing an alliance. I thought of my old friend here, so I took the initiative to ask for help. Brother Gao won't be bored with my brother and sister. ”
Gao Yuanfeng's heart moved, and Chen Kun accidentally revealed some major secrets in order to explain why he returned to Chen Guo. At a time when all countries, gangs, and factions were all increasing their strength, how could the Danxia Gang push Chen Kun's brother and sister down the mountain? It was even more unusual for them to take the place of their brother and son as soon as they went off the mountain.
Chen Kun hypocritically humbled himself on the stage, just to show his identity. No wonder Zhou Chang is not good at refusing, the son of a country, can be described as the number two person in the kingdom, and he can't help but treat him with the highest courtesy.
Gao Yuanfeng said meaningfully: "Brother Chen, as the prince of the world, you dare to go to a foreign country, you are not afraid that I will detain you." ”
Chen Kun's heart tightened, but his face remained silent, and he forced a smile: "I naturally don't dare to go to other countries." You and I are two countries, but good brothers who are in the same spirit, what would you not dare. Besides, isn't there still a senior brother here?"
Gao Yuanfeng concluded that Chen Guo had changed, and he didn't want to show his thoughts, so he stopped trying, "That's, that's." Come, this is His Royal Highness Zhou Cang, the son of our country, you know each other. ”
While Zhou Cang was greeting Chen Kun, he smiled apologetically at the eight generals, meaning that he couldn't drink with everyone today.
The eight of them took their leave. Gao Yuanfeng and Zhou Cang did not introduce the two sides. Although the identities of the eight people are not state secrets, it is still necessary to let Chen Kun have less contact, who knows if he will be targeted to lure corruption.
Chen Kun once again proposed to watch the martial arts test of Zhou Guoda.
Zhou Cang wanted to agree, because Chen Kun saw it without looking at it, so it was better to show his generosity.
Gao Yuanfeng preemptively said: "It's okay to watch the ceremony, but there's nothing to see today." Walk, drink. ”
Zhou Cang's brows furrowed slightly, feeling that Gao Yuanfeng was a little arrogant. I'm here, shouldn't you ask me first? Just make your own decisions? What Zhou Cang didn't notice was that the performance of him and Gao Yuanfeng made several bigwigs on the stage squint.
