Volume 1 Above the Temple Chapter 101 The Feast of the Son of Heaven (5)
"Could it be that the red sleeves are from the palace? If this is the case, wouldn't it be that his private meeting with Liu Yiyong and the banquet of Tianxiangju have nothing to hide in front of the little emperor? ......" Mu Qiuhuang thought like this, and couldn't help but be secretly worried in his heart, and when he looked at it again, Ji Yan and Liu Yiyong's expressions began to become unnatural, although there was no handle in the hands of the red sleeve move, but this feeling of being watched by people was really uncomfortable.
But soon, Mu Qiuhuang and the others found that they were thinking too much, because then they heard the little emperor say: "In previous years, the songs and dances were all from the palace, and after a long time, the princes must be tired of watching it, so this time, I asked people to find this song and dance from the people, to enjoy it with the kings, and to really enjoy it with the people......"
"Your Majesty Shengming......" The courtier's sycophants roared again.
For these Mu Qiuhuang has long been strange, after seeing that Xiahou Xuanba has no signs of leaving the table halfway, Mu Qiuhuang is also concentrating on watching the song and dance, and he has not appreciated it well twice before.
I have to say that the singing and dancing of the red sleeves is really unparalleled in the world. Under the musician's high-end skills, the tunes of the four instruments of the piano and pipa are mixed together, and the tune is melodious, although the woman dancing in the middle is not very amazing, compared to Su Xiaoxiao, but her dancing skills and figure are really unique, and I don't know how the long sleeves are thrown up, and a pair of long sleeves are churning in the air like a light Ling Bo...... The figure is even more hot, like Pu Liu's waist is only a grip, but the waist up and down is sharply expanded, the top is turbulent, the bottom is extremely round, and the round buttocks are only a layer of tulle, and the spring inside is looming...... For this dancer, Mu Qiuhuang can only use the word "goblin" to evaluate! I heard that the red sleeve move was spread all over the world with a clear name, but I never thought that at this time, this red sleeve move was actually dancing in front of the civil and military officials and the emperor, which really responded to the folk saying, the world is as black as a crow.
The hundreds of officials in the court are all engrossed, and the saliva is about to flow out, and there is no longer the solemn appearance on weekdays...... At this time, Mu Qiuhuang was also convinced that this red sleeve move had nothing to do with the palace, because the little emperor sitting on the high platform had already seen his eyes and blood swelling, if this was really the business in the palace, I was afraid that the little emperor would not be so out of shape at this time.
Half an hour later, the sound of silk and bamboo gradually subsided. The courtiers and ministers all looked unsatisfied, but the little emperor was full of spring breeze...... There is no need to guess this, presumably after today, this dancing goblin will definitely be locked in the deep palace by the little emperor to enjoy it alone.
……
The singing and dancing have stopped, and the next thing to be held is the martial arts test between the princes.
The martial arts test is naturally not suitable for being carried out in the main hall, so the children of the civil and military officials and princes also went out of the main hall under the leadership of the little emperor and came to the square.
At this time, the snow had stopped, and the snow had already been cleaned by the servants of the court, and a large open space was vacated, although there was no moonlight in the sky tonight, but under the illumination of the countless lampholes around the square, the square was as bright as day.
On the palace wall in the distance, the five-clawed golden dragon flag has already been raised, making a fierce sound in the cold wind, followed by the phoenix bathing fire flag of Beiyu, the cloud-stepping unicorn flag of Xilie, the golden water Xuanwu flag of Nanzhao, etc., the flags of the eight princes are also rising into the air synchronously, erected on both sides of the five-clawed golden dragon flag.
The martial arts test between the princes was nothing more than a series of things related to battlefield fighting, such as horseback archery, fist and foot fighting, and battle array attack, and the prize taken out by the little emperor was three fine treasure eagle bows, and each bow was equipped with twelve eagle feather arrows.
With the order of the little emperor, the martial arts test also officially began, but in addition to horseback archery and fist and foot fighting, these two are real swords and real guns, and when it comes to the battle array, the weapons used by the soldiers are replaced with wooden knives and wooden guns...... Although this is a little less fighting, it also avoids accidents.
Although the martial arts test is also very exciting, it is a pity that it is a group of battlefield Qiu Ba who are fighting hard there, in the eyes of this group of fat-headed, big-eared, pampered officials, after all, it is still not as good as the red sleeves of the girls who are sweaty and singing and dancing, therefore, they are all shrinking their necks and holding hands, and they are in high spirits...... I believe that if the little emperor hadn't been here at this time, they would probably not have endured the baptism of the cold wind outside. However, there are exceptions to everything, for example, Xiahou Xuanba, the general of Zhenguo who was born in the army, watched it with relish at this time, and he was more attentive than watching the song and dance in the main hall just now, and Prime Minister Xiahou Wenyuan also watched it attentively.
Mu Qiuhuang also knows everything about what these two people did. Xiahou Xuanba is completely because of his own profession, and he wants to judge the characteristics of the tactics of the princes' armies through the battle formations of the princes' soldiers...... And Xiahou Wenyuan was judging the strength of the princes, and no matter how good he was, he decided to invest in that family.
And for these, Mu Qiuhuang has also been prepared, before coming, Mu Qiuhuang had explained to this group of Beiyu sergeants, they just need to go through the motions easily, and they don't have to care too much about the results of the comparison test...... But even so, Sergeant Beiyu still took back a treasure eagle bow and twelve eagle feather arrows, and the other two fell into the hands of Ji Yan and Ximen Dingding respectively. Needless to say, what fell into Ji Yan's hands is as I said before, elite soldiers are always killed, and the soldiers who have fought on the battlefield and the soldiers who usually train against grass targets are not an army at the same level at all. Among the eight princes, only Beiyu, Xilie, and Nanzhao are now only because there are occasional conquests on the border, and the soldiers are trained in the battlefield, such as the Haihun Marquis Mansion, the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, the Yunjiu Marquis Mansion, the Pingjin Marquis Mansion, and the Wei Qihou Mansion These five have not fought for many years, and most of the soldiers in the palace have not been on the battlefield...... Therefore, the Beiyu army easily won the first place in the horse archery, and the military attack was because of the small number of the Beiyu army, so that the Xiliehou Mansion won the championship, as for the last one, there is nothing to say, who has ever seen a son suddenly join the field when the fists and feet are fighting between Hu Cong? The soldiers of each family naturally did not dare to hurt this Ximen Dingding, so the last treasure carving bow fell into the hands of Ximen Dingding unexpectedly......
After the end of the martial arts test, everyone also climbed the palace wall under the leadership of the little emperor.
……
Finally, when the time came, the little emperor held a torch and lit the fireworks that had been prepared in advance, whoosh, whoosh...... Countless fireworks burst into the sky and exploded in beautiful colors, causing the crowd to scream.
After the little emperor stood on the palace wall and shouted a few words at the people gathered outside the palace wall, the people fell to their knees and shouted long live.
Looking at the little emperor enjoying the palace wall and the flow of people under the palace wall......
At this moment, Mu Qiuhuang suddenly felt that it seemed quite interesting to be an emperor.
……
……
After the fireworks and the people spent an hour together, the banquet was almost over, and the rest of the people slowly retreated.
Just when Mu Qiuhuang was also about to leave with the flow of people, Bai You suddenly came to Mu Qiuhuang's side and whispered: "Your Majesty, Mu Shizi must not leave in a hurry, Your Majesty is waiting for you to gather in the imperial study." ”
Mu Qiuhuang actually didn't want to go to the imperial study, he had a lot of important things to deal with! Xiahou Xuanba must have been injured before the banquet tonight, and he wanted to find out why Xiahou Xuanba was injured as soon as possible...... Since Xiahou Wenyuan had the intention of waiting for the price to sell, he also had to immediately send the news back to the Beiyu Marquis Mansion...... These things are urgent, and the more you know, the more you take the initiative.
Although Mu Qiuhuang was very reluctant to go, he finally followed Bai You.
The emperor's words were not discussed, but directly ordered, and he was not allowed to say anything at all.
If it was said that he had just seen all the people kneeling and bowing, which made Mu Qiuhuang feel that it was interesting to be the emperor, then at this time, the little emperor summoned him... made him have to go, and made him feel that the emperor was worth doing.
It's not that he's greedy for power, it's that he doesn't like that there are people in his head who can drive him to do things he doesn't want to do but have to do.
……
"See Your Majesty."
"Hurry up and excuse me, didn't I just say it at the banquet! When it comes to kinship, I still have to call you cousin, so you don't have to be restrained here......" When the little emperor spoke, he actually went to hold up Mu Qiuhuang who was kneeling on the ground.
The two were in close contact, and an extremely unique and elegant fragrance came from the little emperor.
"Scent?" Mu Qiuhuang's nose moved, and he thought of a bad taste in his heart: "Isn't this little emperor also has a hobby of splitting peaches and broken sleeves?" If not, how can there be a fragrance on the clothes? ”
As soon as he thought of this, Mu Qiuhuang also subconsciously withdrew his hand from the little emperor's hand.
Seeing this, the little emperor couldn't help but be stunned.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mu Qiuhuang hurriedly lowered his head, and very skillfully transformed the gaffe just now into flattery.
When the little emperor saw his appearance, he also showed a satisfied expression, walked towards his dragon chair, and at the same time instructed Bai You: "Sit." ”
After Mu Qiuhuang sat down, he took a look at the little emperor's imperial study, and found that it was gilded and jade-inlaid, extremely luxurious, and how many times stronger than his own "Yunyu Pavilion"? However, it is very strange that in the face of such a luxurious imperial study, Mu Qiuhuang has no idea of keeping it for himself.
"What is Aiqing looking at?" The little emperor couldn't help but ask when he saw Mu Qiuhuang looking around.
"Ahh Mu Qiuhuang was also shocked by the little emperor's sudden call, and hurriedly said, "No... It's nothing, it's just that this is the first time I've seen such a luxurious room, so I can't help but take a few more looks, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me. ”
"Haha...... Aiqing turned out to be because of this. ”
After the little emperor finished laughing, he continued: "What is there to forgive sins? People are curious about new things they haven't seen before......"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding." Mu Qiuhuang said.
The two looked at each other a few more times, but they didn't speak for a long time.
The little emperor couldn't help but speak, "Don't you want to ask me what I called you here?" ”
Mu Qiuhuang was also slightly stunned when he heard this, and he still had this kind of chat method in his heart? But then he also asked, "I wonder what His Majesty called me for?"
The little emperor didn't answer directly, but turned his head and commanded Bai You: "Order, all the personnel are a hundred steps away from the imperial study, and you personally guard the door......"
"Yes." Bai You responded and left quickly.
Seeing the little emperor behaving like this, Mu Qiuhuang was also vigilant in his heart.
