Sixty years of Emperor Wudi of Dayunwu, summer

The Forbidden City on this day is particularly prosperous, the streets are cleaned spotlessly, from the Qianyang Palace to the Temple of Heaven on the way can be said to be heavily guarded, it is said that today is the emperor's 60th birthday, so there is such a battle, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, the emperor's chariot and horse walk in the middle, followed by the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, Long Junxian, this person is strong in martial arts, often accompanied by the emperor, so he is indispensable to go to the Temple of Heaven such a battle.

Then there are the emperor's twelve princes, each of whom is full of vigor and vigor, among which the crown prince Yun Luotian is the most eye-catching, although he is the second in line, but he was born to the late queen, relying on the huge power of the maternal family, he is domineering and domineering among the brothers, and he is very arrogant!

Behind him is the third prince Yun Xingyan, although his mother is a concubine, but Yun Xingyan has a tricky and eccentric personality, often comparing himself to the clear stream, so the emperor is very disliked, even his mother concubine Niangniang has a lot of complaints about her, but he loves Yun Tianqing, the twelfth prince of Yun Xingyan's mother, and from time to time praises Yun Tianqing in front of the emperor and belittles Yun Xingyan, so over time Yun Xingyan has become the so-called 'lonely man', not only no one among the brothers is close to him, even the minister has been offended by him!

Take last year's Jiangnan deficit case as an example, Yun Xingyan spent three months to find out the case, and a letter broke off more than 20 lives in Jiangnan officialdom, including many of the protégés of Prime Minister Wei Ran, and Wei Ran was the uncle of the dynasty, under his hint, no one befriended Yun Xingyan, and all the big and small Beijing officials avoided him, but Yun Xingyan looked indifferent, still went his own way, if it wasn't for the emperor's birthday today, he wouldn't have walked with these hypocritical people!

The team walked forward for a while, and with the voice of the great eunuch Li Ying: "Play music!" The carriages and horses stopped one after another, and the orchestra that had been waiting around the Temple of Heaven was playing their best skills one after another, they were all excellent musicians, and they would definitely get a good reward if they performed well.

At this time, the carriages and horses stopped one after another, Emperor Wu slowly walked to the top of the Temple of Heaven with the support of the eunuch Li Ying, waved his sleeves to show his majesty, after a worship, Emperor Wu said: "Everyone, I ascended the throne at the age of twelve, punished the ministers, fought Liaodong, Pingjiangnan, Dinghebei, and now the four seas return to the world and the world is peaceful, I am deeply grateful, on the occasion of my 60th birthday, I have twelve princes and three princesses, which can be described as a family and a country!" ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live......"

The ministers were led by Wei Ran, kneeling on the ground one after another, and the princes bowed their hands and shouted long live-

Emperor Wu nodded with great satisfaction, and motioned to the eunuch Li Ying to announce the decree, only to see that Li Ying had already cleared his throat preparedly, and shouted: "The emperor's edict, in order to show my prestige in the sky, there are two special civil and military stations, Wenchen poems, military generals clash with each other, and the top three are rewarded!" ”

With a burst of drums from the two civil and military platforms, everyone's eyes turned to a school field not far from the Temple of Heaven, only to see that there are two high platforms on both sides of the field, respectively inserted with two large flags of civil and military, built of wood, and the peripheral stands are in the shape of 'Hui' to surround the two rings, although the stands are high, but not as good as the Temple of Heaven, there is an emperor sitting at the top, and the left and right sides are Prime Minister Wei Ran and Generalissimo Qu Changning.

After a drum, the twelve princes rode their horses to their respective fields, the eldest prince Yun Qiancheng took the lead to the competition platform, and raised a spear to fight with a few generals, and for a while the blades clashed, and people applauded continuously, at this time Emperor Wu couldn't help but clap his hands in the stands, and said: "Qu Aiqing, the martial arts of Qiancheng are worthy of being taught by you, this gun is as powerful as the god of war descending to earth, it is really the three armies of the brave crown!" ”

Qu Changning listened to Emperor Wu's praise, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's false praise, the minister is just doing his part, besides, who in this Manchu Dynasty doesn't know that General Long's martial arts are the real number one in the world, Your Majesty still don't want to make fun of Wei Chen......"

"Hahahaha, Qu Qing's family is too modest, Jun Xian, today is the widow's birthday, why don't you drink a glass and have fun with our monarchs and ministers?"

Emperor Wu said and looked at Long Junxian who was holding a gun on the side, this person was seven feet long, dressed in flame bright light armor, wearing a lion helmet that lit the night, carrying seven short halberds, with a wolf sword on his waist, holding a cold iron spear, and his sword eyebrows were erected, showing his majesty!

Long Junxian said: "The minister will never drink alcohol when he is on duty, please atone for the crime of resisting the decree!" ”

"Today, there are only old people, no monarchs and ministers, Jun Xian, I tell you to drink and you drink!"

Emperor Wu said that he glanced at the eunuch Li Ying, Li Ying immediately understood, poured a glass of wine and brought it to Long Junxian, and said, "General, please use it!" ”

Long Junxian reluctantly took the wine glass and drank it all, at this time Emperor Wu smiled even more happily, at this time Prime Minister Wei Ran said: "Your Majesty, please see, in the center of the school field is the eldest prince and His Royal Highness the Prince, it must be a wonderful duel!" ”

Emperor Wu put down his wine glass at this time, looked in the direction Wei Ran pointed, and saw Yun Qiancheng, who was wearing black armor and black robes, and a crow horse carrying a hook gun and Yun Luotian, who was wearing white armor and riding a white horse, holding a sharp corner......

The two first fought back and forth for a few rounds, and then fell into a stalemate, only to see Yun Luotian glance at Yun Qiancheng, Yun Qiancheng immediately understood, his hand was loosened, and the weapon was knocked to the ground, and then Yun Luotian put the spear on Yun Qiancheng's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Big brother, I agreed!" ”

At this time, the drums beat loudly, and on the viewing platform, a woman in red clapped excitedly and said, "Haha, Brother Prince won, I knew that Brother Prince would definitely win......"

"Cut!"

Yun Xingyan, who was standing on the side at this time, clasped his hands to his chest, held a piece of grass in his mouth, and complained speechlessly: "What to win, that's the eldest brother deliberately released water!" ”

When the woman in red saw Yun Xingyan say this, she bowed slightly, leaned over to peek at Yun Xingyan's expression, and then smiled: "Brother Yan, you won't say that grapes are sour if you can't eat grapes, right?" Are you not good at fighting and envy the bravery of the prince's brother? ”

"Who would envy that unreasonable guy, Siyue, don't guess, okay?"

Yun Xingyan was very speechless at Yun Siyue's brainless face, and muttered in a low voice: "I said that I was here to accompany me, but it turned out that it was your prince brother when I opened my mouth and closed my mouth......"

Yun Siyue smiled playfully, winked at him and said, "Hehe, Brother Yan, are you jealous......"

"Not really!"

Yun Xingyan turned around and left, but Yun Siyue trotted up and asked, "Brother Yan, where are you going?" ”

Yun Xingyan walked to the stage and turned over his horse, casually took out a three-pointed two-edged knife from the weapon rack, weighed it in his hand, and said, "Of course, it's to pierce Yun Luotian's ......."

After hearing this, Yun Siyue hurriedly stopped and said: "Brother Yan, forget it, now my father has a deep opinion on you, I just joke a word or two, if you offend the prince's brother, I'm afraid you will be disgusted by other brothers, so forget it......"

"Cut, long-winded!"

Yun Xingyan said that he stepped forward, and at this time, the captain in charge of the order of the ring beat a drum, and then said in a loud voice: "The winner of the championship this time is, His Royal Highness the Prince, Yun Luotian ......"

At this time, when the prince was about to accept the reward, he saw Yun Xingyan driving forward, throwing the three-pointed two-edged knife with his backhand, and nailed it to the gate impartially!

"Wait!"

At this time, everyone's eyes were attracted by Yun Xingyan's figure, and even the Martial Emperor on the Temple of Heaven was wondering, and said: "This third old man's martial arts are sparse, is it self-inflicted humiliation when he goes up?" ”

Marshal Qu Changning said: "The three princes are really terrifying when they know the difficulties!" ”

Wei Ran snorted coldly and said: "I think the third prince is very meritorious, last year's Jiangnan case he cut first and then played, and today he is too eager to show himself in front of His Majesty, right?" ”

"Okay, stop arguing!"

Emperor Wu coughed, and the two of them immediately stopped talking, only to see that in the martial arts arena, Yun Xingyan went into battle in a gorgeous costume, not even wearing armor, and stepped forward to pull out the three-pointed two-edged knife on the gate in three or two steps, stared at the prince Yun Luotian and said: "His Royal Highness the prince, the little brother is not talented, and he is willing to compete with the prince!" ”

Yun Luotian frowned and glanced at the captain and the eunuchs around him, the old eunuch immediately understood, and said: "Third prince, now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is being sealed, you are not in accordance with the rules by inserting a bar to challenge you like this!" ”

Yun Xingyan spit out the dry grass on his mouth, and said lazily: "Cut, then he has rules for playing fake matches?" ”

"You! Yun Xingyan, you don't want to spew blood! ”

"Yes, third brother, you retreat quickly, how can you be the opponent of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

At this time, several princes who were good friends with the crown prince accused Yun Xingyan of being reckless, but Yun Xingyan argued with reason: "Isn't it a fake match for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to fight with me?" Anyway, I'm just a useless waste in your eyes, didn't the second brother beat me to catch me? ”

In the face of Yun Xingyan's provocation, those supporters of the crown prince expressed their opinions one after another: "The third brother is really arrogant, His Royal Highness the Prince, go and teach him a lesson!" ”

"Yes, yes, the third brother is so rebellious, he really owes it up!"

Even Yun Qiancheng said very unhappily: "Third child, I am willing to gamble and lose, His Royal Highness the Prince's martial arts have indeed improved, don't mess around, retreat quickly!" ”

At this time, the crown prince also snorted coldly and said: "Third brother, now it is my father's birthday banquet, and it is okay to make trouble in the palace and endure it, but if you are so disrespectful in front of the civil and military officials, are you not afraid of losing the face of my royal family?" I'm just thinking that you have eaten a few more glasses of wine, and you quickly retreat, don't ruin everyone's fun! ”

Yun Siyue, who was standing aside at this time, also signaled Yun Xingyan not to contradict the prince, and stood up and said: "Brother Yan, Wenge is testing poetry over there, when the great Confucian Guo Ziyun is there to fight the heroes, can you accompany Yue'er to take a look......

Several princes also ridiculed: "That's it, third brother, don't be reckless, we know that you are so strong, but the sword has no eyes, and it is a little unlucky to see blood on my father's birthday......"

Yun Siyue chased after her at this time and persuaded: "Brother Yan, forget it......"

"Tsk, Siyue, shut up!"

Yun Xingyan glared at Yun Siyue, then looked at Yun Luotian and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, now that all the civil and military officials are watching here, you don't want to compete, aren't you afraid?" ”
