Chapter 106: Confusing
After the third round, King Kang and Cui Hanzhang jumped off the horse's back, letting them gallop happily, and it was their nature to be unrestrained.
"I didn't expect Hanzhang's riding skills to grow up so fast, but it made me feel ashamed to grow up playing with horses!" King Kang exhaled a long turbid breath and said with a smile.
Cui Hanzhang was not restrained, and replied with his fists clenched: "The prince is too modest, the dark clouds cover the snow and I have been with each other for a long time, and we can see that the wild nature of the prince's BMW has not been removed." β
"Kindness is your kindness, simply let them go to the race, it is best if the dark clouds cover the snow can help tame this wild horse, then it will save the strength of this king." The two walked unhurriedly on the horse farm, and the guards hung far behind. King Kang is now in charge of the government and has no skills, and he can personally come to tame the horse to send his concubine, which shows that the two are indeed deeply affectionate.
"After a while, Qin Siyang and his little brothers proposed to form a bureau, and Hanzhang wanted to appreciate the light and sit down."
"Cui escaped death this time, and suddenly realized that the world is impermanent, and it is better to be a man in time to be happy." Cui Hanzhang is not evading, it is a wise choice for him to integrate into Taikang's circles as soon as possible.
In Taikang City, whether it is Chili Street where military generals gather, or Luming Lane where civil officials gather, you have me and I have you for a hundred years, although the factions in the court are clear, but they have far-reaching relationships with each other and are inextricably linked. The incense on the ancestors can't be broken, there are in-laws and allies, there are confidants and friends, and there are also protΓ©gΓ©s and old officials who were on the list in the same year, etc., a sentence breaks the bones and tendons, and the thing of killing all the people can't be done, and it doesn't work to get rid of others and eat alone.
Nowadays, although Xiaolianzhuang is well-known in Taikang, it is still immature and weak strictly speaking, and the biggest problem is that the foundation is not strong and the promotion is too fast. But then again, if you follow the step-by-step process, there will be nothing to do in Xiaolianzhuang, and you will be able to carp the dragon gate if you seize the opportunity in front of you. At least at present, Taikang's big and small courts have accepted the fact of Xiaolianzhuang's rapid rise, and they can no longer be arrogant when they get along with it, and pay attention to everything and make money. The height of the temple is deeply worried, it is precisely the wrong thing for people, anyone can do things, but the key is who to do.
The morning sun rises, the light spreads, the mist dissipates, the dew on the grass evaporates, and the men and women of the younger generation of Taikang City enter the scene one after another.
From King Kang's mouth, I learned that there is a highlight today, which is called the horse fighting competition, and the color head is a set of golden helmets given by the queen's mother. Taikang Horse Fighting pays attention to the people and horses on the battlefield, full of fun and thrilling, if no one hangs the lottery in each horse fighting competition, it is not a successful event.
When a person fights on a horse, he loses if he falls off the horse. The horses can continue to fight, if the horses win by luck, they can also turn the situation back, and the draw will end, but if the horses are also defeated and tamed, the horses will change hands, which can be said to be a loss of face and a loss of heart. This year, the color is heavy, and there are countless people who are eager to try, but those who are qualified to play are the number of palms, and most of them are not willing to join in the fun.
Today, the harem concubines came late, and naturally no one dared to show up if Queen Xiao did not appear on the stage. First, a group of people waited in the field to warm up, and after the excitement, it was the real horse fight, and the selected ten participants were divided into five groups to draw lots to determine the opponent.
The key to why fighting horses are loved by the whole people is that there is money to gamble behind them. Even the ordinary people who do not have the opportunity to participate in such a grand event can also participate, of course, the gambling stall card table to win or lose, a small bet is pleasant. Since the list of 10 participants has flowed out, each cabinet has opened ten handicaps, and each handicap is divided into three levels, which is suitable for people from all walks of life to bet.
The Qingshui Cabinet Workshop, which was swept away by Cui Hanzhang a few years ago, is the place where the underground money circulates in the ghost market, and it has resumed business at this time, and the crowd is even louder than before. Of course, there is also the more advanced Mingjin Tower, Partridge Terrace. The style of the gambling stall is vulgar, rich or elegant, depending on the identity and preferences of the gambler.
This year's biggest hit is the goddess of the snow mountain, Motuo Tiange, especially the jade lion under her seat, the whole body is snow-white, there is no half of variegation, and it is said that it can travel thousands of miles in a day. The jade lion was born in the Western Regions, and yesterday it shined in the polo club, and today it continues to participate in the horse fighting competition, and the people and horses are in high spirits, and the handicap of this pair has been opened to 1 to 100, and it seems that she is expected to win the first place. The next big hit is Linwu Mountain and her Wu Hu stepping on the snow, followed by the little prince Qin Siyang and the green ears chasing the wind under the seat, Xiao Xiao Ju'an and sitting down Wusun Tianma, Cui Fu Cui Yun and sitting down Wuzhu Muqin Huang Huma, Yunlin Jiang Haoyue and sitting down the dragon elephant, Sailor Huo Guang and sitting down the cuilong horse, ranger Wen Zhuyan and sitting down the flower zebra, Jiangfu Jiang Yunchang and sitting down Dawan Zi Xiao, Zhuguo General's Mansion Guan Mu and sitting down the big horse.
Cui Hanzhang was called to the dark by a maidservant girl, Princess Yunlan was very eager to participate in the horse fighting competition, but she was severely reprimanded by Queen Xiao for her special identity. Moreover, this year, a number of influential figures such as King Pingkang, King Zekang, and Lingwuhou have not ended, so she is even more inappropriate, which prompts Cui Lang why not go down and take a walk, and the BMW he sits on will definitely shine.
Cui Hanzhang smiled and said to the maidservant: "Tell the princess, thank her for her kindness." Cui Mou's responsibilities are no longer there, so he won't fight for that title. β
The maidservant smiled and saluted gently: "The princess also said that if Cui Gongzi does not play in the horse fight, then please go to King Kang's tent to talk about it." β
"Please go back first, Cui will go to the meeting immediately after the arrangements are made." After Cui Hanzhang sent the maidservant away, he went to inspect and inspect, especially beware of small people taking the opportunity to make trouble these days.
On this day, the contestants who participated in the horse fighting competition have a strong support group, only to see the colorful flags embroidered with the logos of the various provinces waving in the wind, and the Hakka Ding are all carrying their hands with enough clothes to eat, and strive to ensure the good state of their own players, and there are also clever merchants who have sponsored and volunteered to provide a pair of materials, it is not difficult to guess that there are many people who have made heavy bets.
Cui Hanzhang has asked Liu Datou to bring 200 sword and axe players to mix in the crowd in disguise, in case someone secretly makes trouble, and he can be extinguished and imprisoned at any time. These guards are all good hands in the army, and they are usually familiar with each other, and they can know each other's meaning when they pass over with a look, and he also arranged for a half-battalion of flying crossbow battalions to patrol the high places of Yushan on the periphery of the racecourse.
"I just learned from Ru Jingxiu that Chu Bufan, this kid is very fat, and he actually took the military material procurement standard and took ordinary forage to offset it." After Bai Yanqiu saw Cui Hanzhang from a distance, he urged the horse to run over.
Cui Hanzhang knew the reason as soon as he heard it, it was nothing more than Chu Bufan's intermediate arbitrage, which was not too much in Taikang City, "Who did he find to collude with the approval?" Military supplies are uniformly dispatched by our military department. β
"You may not believe it, but his batch of grain and grass is the quota of the Yulin Army's Xiaowu Battalion, and the substitute grain and grass is purchased from Jiang Yunchang at a low price."
"Yu Lin Jun, isn't that Lin Zhanjing's hand? That's strange, Lin Zhan can still put himself in the business he did? β
"This thing is very strange, the six people who sat down on the field yesterday and the horses all ate the same batch of grain and grass, it is estimated that there should be no problem with this batch of horse feed, we are in the wrong direction."
The two of them got together, chatted a few words, and then clarified Chu Bufan's affairs.
"Yashan is going to play, I'll go and see." Bai Yanqiu left him and left.
Cui Hanzhang's mind turned quickly, and at this time he had already determined that Lin Zhan was an unlucky bastard, and he was unknowingly tricked. But if the conspiracy can't be done after all, leave no traces, let it be in your heart, and secretly visit it in the future.
At this time, Yun Lan in King Kang's account gathered around Mo Tutiange with a concerned face and asked, "Sister-in-law, don't play for now, the imperial doctor's order will come later." β
"Sister Yunlan, don't worry, it's okay, it may be that the food in the morning is not clean and spit out." Motuotiange didn't want to spoil everyone's interest, and besides, she was full of confidence in her body's alchemy.
"Lord Wang, my sister's health is important, so it's okay not to participate in the fight. Let them young people fight for it, let's just see the excitement. Princess Chu said with a knock on the side.
"You all don't be impatient, Dou Ma Sai informed them, delay it for half an hour and start again, so that the Imperial Doctor will confirm that there is nothing to do in the competition." King Kang sat on the main seat and said conclusively, Mo Tu Tiange's martial arts cultivation is clear to him, and it is better to be careful if things are abnormal.
But said that Cui Hanzhang thought that Yun Lan would make an appointment in King Kang's account at first, that is, he thought that they were all going to fight Marseille, who would have thought that when he came, he saw that the tent was full of people, and he was immediately confused.
It turned out that Mo Tu Tiange suddenly vomited when he was riding a horse and was familiar with the venue, and the group immediately took her back to the big tent, and the imperial physician Ling Hao found that Mo Tu Tiange had a happy pulse, and the preliminary estimate was about three months, and King Kang was overjoyed and immediately sent someone to report the good news to the queen's mother.
"Congratulations to the princess, congratulations to the princess." Cui Hanzhang immediately clenched his fists, opened his mouth to congratulate, and did enough courtesy. He had already heard Yun Lan and Motuotiange talking happily in the inner tent.
Princess Kang was helpless in her heart, the concubine really didn't deceive her, and the guess was finally verified. But he immediately put on a happy smile on his face and went to the inner tent to help, and his hands and feet staggered because he was too excited, which made the maid around him so frightened that he hurriedly ran forward to help.
"Brother Hanzhang came by coincidence, go to the king's mansion to have a glass of wine another day, and the king wants to celebrate." King Kang was overjoyed, and slapped his thigh and called Cui Hanzhang a brother.
King Kang's wife, Chu, has not been pregnant for many years after entering the palace, and has not been able to give birth to a son and a half daughter, so she has always been disliked by Queen Xiao. And Mo Tu Tiange's pregnancy at this time is tantamount to winning the first place in the continuous heirs of the Shenguang royal family, this fetus is the first child of King Kang's Mansion regardless of gender, and it must be a collection of thousands of favors. If it is a boy, it is the eldest grandson of the Shenguang Dynasty, and it is even more likely to become the eldest grandson in the future, at least in terms of clan etiquette, this child has occupied the name of righteousness.
"The queen has arrived!" The sedan chair fell to the ground, and before King Kang came out to greet her, Queen Xiao couldn't wait to come down and enter the account.
"Don't worry, the queen mother, Tiange will rest in the inner account." King Kang said while holding Empress Xiao's arm.
"Son, be sure to protect their mother and son, don't participate in any horse fighting competitions, and raise the baby with peace of mind." Empress Xiao grabbed King Kang's hand and said seriously.
"Hurry up and go to the palace to give good news to your father, and the palace will also go back to offer incense and pray to the ancestors, praying that a big fat grandson can be born to the palace."
"The queen mother can rest assured, Xiao Liu has already entered the palace to report the good news, and the holy decree must arrive soon."
Empress Xiao caught a glimpse of Cui Hanzhang standing in the account, and was just about to open her mouth to ask, when she heard him kneeling on the ground to congratulate him,
"Weichen Cui Hanzhang said hello to the queen's mother, and King Kang was overjoyed."
"You are clever, you deserve a reward, and everyone in the account today will be rewarded." Empress Xiao said with a kind smile.
As the so-called mother is more expensive than her son, it was the eldest son of Mr. Youqi who consolidated the status of the lord of the six palaces, even if Jiang Guifei was favored later, she could only succumb to her. Therefore, Princess Kang's infertility has always been her heart disease, and now the side concubine Motuo Tiange is the first to be happy, which can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need of King Kang's mansion.
Hearing this, everyone in the tent knelt down and bowed: "Congratulations to the queen, congratulations to the queen, the queen's mother Chitose Chitose Chitose."
