Chapter 22: Heroes and Beauties
Near noon, the more than 20 people invited by Zhao Dezhao today came to the East Palace.
And that's not all, there are more than half of my friends who follow their father and brother to serve in the army abroad, not in Kaifeng Mansion.
Compared with the nobles of the Ming Dynasty, the nobles of the Song Dynasty seem to have only a short period of glory, but at the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the sins they created were not inferior to the nobles of the Ming Dynasty.
Because the Ming Dynasty was an empire from the beginning, the emperor had absolute authority and had restrictions on the nobles.
But the nobles of the early Song Dynasty were all warlords, and even the royal family only thought that they were big warlords.
They have very little binding power on the nobles, and even indulge them in oppressing the people and doing misdeeds.
After Zhao Guangyi pacified the south, he began to clean them up one by one, and finally used civilian officials to suppress them all.
For more than 300 years in the Song Dynasty, the warriors were not allowed to turn over.
And at this time, it was still a time when the warriors were arrogant.
However, because these friends of Zhao Dezhao are still young, the eldest Shi Baoxing is only twenty years old, and he has not really stepped onto the political stage.
They don't have much difference between them and Zhao Dezhao, they are all called each other, and none of them treat him as a future emperor.
From this point, it also made Zhao Dezhao truly understand that in this era, military strength is the most important criterion for measuring strength.
This is still the starting point of the prosperous era, and there are no rules.
At the noon banquet, everyone drank conservatively, because there was a competition in the afternoon.
They are all teenagers, and they are not yet confused by women, and every time in addition to eating and drinking, playing the piano and playing music, they are fighting together.
If it is autumn and winter, there will be more programs, and there will be more activities where you can go out hunting.
Although Zhao Dezhao was only fourteen years old, he was also an old hunter, and when he was six or seven years old, Zhao Kuangyin had not yet become an emperor, so he often took him to hunt on horseback.
Each of them is a good hunter, and hardly any of them are bad.
is like Wei Xianxin, the son of a civil official, who is also both civil and military.
It's raining heavily outside, so you can't bow, so you can only use a fight in the side hall to exert your strength.
The contest is divided into single contest and multi-person contest, and everyone is divided into two groups that are not far apart according to their strength.
During group battles, armor is not allowed, and weapons are not used, so they rely on their hands and feet.
The scene of more than 20 people supporting each other, helping each other, and then colliding into each other is really a bit of blood.
Injuries are inevitable in a fight, and the pain of flesh and skin is indispensable, but no one is afraid.
This kind of fight will become numb as soon as you get through the initial fear of pain.
The noses and faces are swollen from each other, but they are all very happy.
The winning side is triumphant, and it is not angry if it loses, and it is a big deal to return it next time.
After the fight, when they applied the wound medicine to each other, they howled like killing pigs.
Then at this time, they comforted each other and hurt each other, and a group of young people were noisy, scolding, laughing, and laughing, and they were able to tear down the roof.
Although Zhao Dezhao is very strong, after all, he is only fourteen years old, and he was also beaten with a few bruises on his body.
The injuries on the body are fine, apply some medicine, and it will be fine in a few days.
But he was attacked by Li Shouhui again, and he smacked a dark circle under his eyes, pretending to be extremely annoyed, which caused a lot of laughter.
Li Shouhui is the youngest son of Li Jixun, one of the ten brothers of Zhao Kuangyin Yishe, who is sixteen this year and is also very strong.
But he and Zhao Dezhao lost more and won less, and every time he was the most unconvinced by Zhao Dezhao, the two of them were also the most heads-up.
Today, he didn't fight Zhao Dezhao alone, and when he saw Zhao Dezhao being beaten by Shi Baoxing, he laughed the most.
Then during the group battle, Zhao Dezhao and Cao Can were entangled, but he took a cold punch and beat Zhao Dezhao into a panda eye.
However, he didn't fall well, Han Chongyun's eldest son Han Chongxun admired Zhao Dezhao the most, and when he saw him sneak attack, he elbowed up and splashed his elbow's nosebleed.
Cao Can is the eldest son of the famous general Cao Bin, one year older than Zhao Dezhao, and he doesn't talk much on weekdays, but no matter what happens, he is generally indispensable.
He belongs to the type of society where I am a bright brother and does not talk much, and he is very trustworthy.
Han Chongxun Han Chongyun's eldest son, who is only twelve years old this year, usually follows Zhao Dezhao and them behind, and today is the first time to exert his power.
In the afternoon, there was a fight, and when it was time for dinner, they took off their essence one by one and jumped into the moat to wash themselves.
The frightened dozen little palace maids didn't dare to go out, and the palace guards laughed and scolded one by one.
At dinner, no one controlled the amount of alcohol, and they bragged about the criticism, and their faces were red when they drank.
And this time is the time when it is easiest to be bewitched.
Without Zhao Dezhao's demagoguery, Wang Chengyan brought up the topic of Mrs. Hua Rui, said that Mrs. Hua Rui is rare in the world, and belittled Meng Chang well.
Then, Zhao Dezhao just followed Wang Chengyan's words and touted the beauty of Mrs. Hua Rui again, and the group of second ancestors who drank wine were itching.
Even Zhao Dezhao didn't pay attention to who mentioned it first, and the last group of people decided to go to the Qin State Mansion to admire the beauty.
Thinking about Shi Baoji and Han Chongxun, they are less than fourteen years old, and their hair has not grown, so they naturally have no interest in women.
However, they will not be bored staying in the East Palace, and now that the rain has stopped, they are very interested in the rope net that they can climb.
Not to mention the rope net, it is a seesaw, a parallel bar, which can lead them to play in the rain for a long time.
As soon as the topic was mentioned, even if the young and vigorous second ancestors didn't want to go, they were frozen by other people's words, and whoever didn't go to the family would be subjected to some unspeakable behavior.
The last nineteen over the age of fourteen, all went, and all of them wore no shoes or rode in a car, and went out of the west city in groups.
It has been raining for several days in a row, and most of the roads in Kaifeng Province are dirt roads, so it is better to walk barefoot quickly if you take a car.
At this time, it was already midday, but it was late in the summer, and it was still visible outside.
As soon as they went out, they attracted the attention of many people and officials, but most of them knew them, and none of them dared to care.
When they went out of the city gate, they did not take the Daliang Gate, and the Daliang Gate will soon close the city gate, which is not an important military situation, so they cannot open the door.
However, it is not without a solution, because the Qin State Mansion is between the east side of the Bianhe River and the city wall, although it is outside the city, next to the imperial family's Yanfu Palace Imperial Garden.
From Yanfu Palace, you can go directly through the imperial garden to the palace of Qin, and the gate of the palace has Zhao Dezhao, the prince, who will not be fortified at all.
A group of people hooked shoulders and backs, giggling, noisy, you pat him with your hand, he kicked you with mud feet, and there was no difference between those secondary two young people who drank some wine in later generations.
When you get to the Imperial Garden, the road here is paved with bluestone, and in some places it is cobblestone, and no matter what kind of stone, it is awkward.
Then a group of people ran into the grass without taking the main road, and took a lot of the flowers that the gardener had carefully cultivated, and prepared to give them to Madame Blossom.
The attendants didn't dare to care, and they jumped to their feet one by one, but they laughed happily.
When they arrived at Ouchi's Gongchen Gate, which was Ouchi's gate to the outer city, a group of young people were stopped.
The leader is the head of the forbidden army, Wenqing, this person's name is elegant, but he is a complete rough man, and he can't see his appearance clearly with a big beard.
"Brothers, it's getting dark, the Bianhe River is big, it's better not to go out of the city."
Shi Baoxing said with a smile: "Master, I have been on the battlefield three times, and I crawled out of the pile of dead people, are you still afraid of this little water?" ”
Among them, Shi Baoxing has really been on the battlefield, so he likes to talk about going to the battlefield on weekdays.
Seeing this group of people clearly, Wen Qing secretly complained in his heart. There are princes in this, sons with top bosses, each of them has a family background, he is a low-level capital, how dare he stop him?
What's more, they are all drinking, so they won't reason with him, not to mention that the more they talk, the more wrong they are.
He didn't dare to stop him, stepped aside, and said with a smile: "Where do you brothers want to go?" When will you return? ”
Gao Dijun, who was already seven points drunk, was the most flamboyant on weekdays, and said proudly: "I heard that Madame Hua Rui is a rare beauty in the world, and I want to go to the Qin State Mansion to have a look." ”
Zhao Dezhao noticed in the crowd that Wen Qing's smile was uncomfortable.
From his expression and small movements, it can be seen that he has a ghost in his heart.
Zhao Dezhao's heart moved, and without waiting for him to dissuade him, he pretended to be drunk and pulled out the long sword at his waist and walked forward. "We are all heroes, and heroes naturally have to match beauties."
This sentence is very secondary, but it is suitable for him at the age of fourteen.
When the others heard this, they immediately burst out laughing and followed suit.
Gao Chujun smiled: "Have you grown hair?" ”
Zhao Dezhao was furious, lit up his mud-stained feet, and kicked him in the ass, and everyone laughed again.
Gao Zhijun's father was Gao Huaide, one of the most powerful generals at the time.
Zhao Kuangyin's release of military power was mainly to take back the command of the forbidden army from him, Shi Shouxin, Zhang Lingduo, Wang Xianqi and other six people.
He also has an identity, which is Zhao Dezhao's uncle. After his wife died, he married Zhao Kuangyin's sister, and Gao Chujun became Zhao Dezhao's cousin.
He is much more unsuccessful than his brother in a high place, has no ambitions, and is only willing to live in Kaifeng Mansion and be a yain.
Seeing a group of young people laughing out of the city gate, Wen Qing didn't dare to stop them, but after they left the city, he quickly restrained his smile and commanded left and right. "You immediately take a shortcut to the Qin State Mansion, and don't let them spoil the Zhongshu Order and the important affairs of the inner chamberlain."
Although Zhao Dezhao went out of the city with his friends, he was still paying attention to the movements behind him.
Seeing the two forbidden soldiers following behind and running out of the city, and avoiding them from the path and running towards the Qin State Mansion in the distance, the more suspicious I was in my heart that poisoning Meng Chang was afraid that it would not be tonight.
He laughed loudly: "Now that we have left the city, it depends on which of us will run to the Qin State Mansion first, and the last one to arrive will be put on a show in Yuechun Tower." ”
A group of people didn't accept anyone, and before they could say the rules, Cao Can and the older ones hugged the hem of their clothes, held down the long sword, and ran away.
Then a group of people were like locusts, picking a shortcut, walking in a straight line, shouting and screaming, and ran towards the Qin State Mansion.
