Chapter 951: Martial Arts in Front of the Emperor
Zhao Ji's life in the palace was uneventful, and he sometimes even hoped that someone would come out to provoke him, so that he could vent.
Yes, just vent.
Since the last time he was taken to the Qinglou, the rookie is a bit of a marrow eater, and he has some trouble sleeping at night.
However, it is impossible for Qinglou to go again, this is Shen An's words, saying that if he goes to Qinglou again, it is not a shout, but a frivolity.
What can be done?
When he dreamed back in the middle of the night, he thought of the ongoing wife-searching process.
As the eldest son of the emperor, the future prince and emperor, he must be cautious in choosing his wife, but he is too cautious, so that his younger brother Zhao Hao said that his wife can't be so entangled, otherwise he would rather find a daughter of the people.
Oh, yes!
is too cautious and only entangled, but he is helpless about it.
Gao Taotao's enthusiasm for finding his eldest daughter-in-law is probably unprecedented, and many women ...... No, it was a number of girls who came into her sight, looking left and right, which made her feel that the flowers were becoming more and more charming, and she was dizzy.
This is Zhao Ji's marriage, he is desperate now, just beg not to be too ugly, not too stupid.
"King, someone from the official family is here."
Qiao Er came in with a sallow face, his body trembling like a candle in the wind, and his eyes were full of despair.
After two days of pulling, he felt that his intestines were all pulled out, but fortunately he stopped in time last night.
But it's okay, but I'm constipated today......
It's either pulling or can't pull it, which god has been offended!
Qiao Er prayed desperately, hoping that the immortal who had made the wrong hand would hear his heart and then modify the object.
For example...... Wang Chongnian is good, he is strong and strong, and he eats as much as a cow, so he should toss it.
Zhao Ji glanced at him, frowned, and said, "Why are you listless?" ”
"It's okay." Qiao Er didn't dare to say that he was sick, otherwise he would be led out, and God knows if he would be able to come back.
You can't get sick around you, this is an iron law, and you have to endure it when you are sick.
"That's good." Zhao Ji ordered: "Let him come over." ”
After someone came in, he announced: "King, Uncle Cao Guo is performing martial arts in the palace today, and the official family will let you go." ”
"Martial arts?" This Zhao Ji was interested, got up and said, "Go immediately." ”
Later, he led people to the front, and Zhao Shu had already arrived.
"Da Lang come here." Zhao Shu looked in good spirits and beckoned with a smile.
Zhao Ji went over to salute, and then asked, "Official, what does this mean?" ”
"Sit."
It stands to reason that there is no seat for Zhao Shu next to Zhao Shu, but Zhao Shu does not have such strict rules, so he asked someone to set up a pier on the side for Zhao Shu to sit down.
"Niangniang said that Cao Tong has a lot of talent for training, he also went to Fuzhou, and killed the enemy in a battle with the Liao, I think that the relatives can't be used as pigs, so let him try, if it's okay, let him fight if he has the opportunity in the future, it's a good story."
"The official is wise."
Zhao Ji couldn't help but laugh when he heard him compare his relatives to pigs.
Zhao Shu glared at him and said, "You should also think carefully about these, how to balance them, this is the emperor's problem." ”
Relatives, magnates, officials, warriors...... How do these relationships balance?
If the balance is good, it is a bright king, and if the balance is not good, it is most likely a faint king.
This is the basic skill, and Zhao Shu is teaching his son this knowledge.
Zhao Ji said: "The minister thinks that the word fairness is enough. ”
"Easy!" Zhao Shu said dissatisfiedly: "If it's so simple, how can I be cautious?" The relatives and the powerful are different, and the shade and sprout are different, these must be divided into more details, and they are all familiar with the heart, so that you can deal with them with ease......"
Zhao Ji got up, crossed his hands and said, "Yes, the minister is taught." ”
Zhao Shu nodded with satisfaction and said, "You are very smart, which is much better than when I was back." But smart but afraid of being proud, people are easy to get carried away and make mistakes...... Therefore, humility is the principle of being a human being. ”
"Yes."
Zhao Shu's words are not wrong at all, but the mistake is that he used the perspective of an old man to teach the young Zhao Xu.
Young people are strong-blooded, what does it mean to get carried away? What kind of teenager do you want to call?
Zhao Shu looked very sincere and serious, Zhao Shu couldn't help but smile, feeling that his ability to teach children was probably among the best among emperors.
Just looking at Zhao Ji's expression, he suddenly felt a little familiar, so he subconsciously asked, "What should the young man do?" ”
Zhao Ji was thinking about the pride of leading the army to fight, and when he heard the words, he said: "When the spring breeze is proud, when the fresh clothes are angry, the horse ...... angry"
Belch!
It seems to be wrong!
Zhao Ji's mouth slipped for a while, and he said what was in his heart, he stole a glance at his father, and when he saw that his face was sinking like water, he couldn't help but regret his intestines.
Zhao Shu said coldly: "I said how can I look at your sincere and serious appearance so familiar, it turns out that Shen An is in the same vein, looking honest and pure, but the inside is all fake." ”
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, got up and walked around twice, and said angrily: "Young people don't learn well, they learn to be cunning and cunning, and they learn to pretend to be honest...... Whose truth is this? Miscellaneous? ”
"When my father was as old as you, he read books and wrote articles, and that's all he did all day, what about you? Because my father was worried that you had taken the old path, he let you go in and out of the imperial city, but what did you learn? I learned to pretend ...... False ......"
He glanced at his son, saw him with his head down, very annoyed, and couldn't help but say with relief: "Do you know it's wrong?" ”
"The minister knows that he is wrong."
Zhao Ji honestly admitted his mistake.
Zhao Shu said with satisfaction: "I have to change it in the future...... Belch! That's it, don't change it. ”
Fathers basically want their children to learn to pretend and feel that this is a necessary skill in life, and Zhao Shu is certainly no exception.
So he was embarrassed.
Well done son!
He pretended to be so real, if he hadn't thought that Shen An was also like this, I was afraid that I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference.
In the future, he will naturally not suffer when facing the ministers, isn't that good?
Zhao Shu said embarrassedly: "That...... Later...... That's it for the rest of the day. ”
As an emperor, Chrysostom was basic, that is, he could not repent of every word he said.
But Zhao Shu now regrets it.
Zhao Ji raised his head and was moved in his heart, "The official family, the minister is fine." ”
For the sake of his son, Zhao Shu threw aside those bullshit golden mouths, this is the heart of pity.
"Official, Uncle Cao Guo is here."
The father and son were experiencing this rare warm moment, and Cao Tong came.
He brought with him sixty men, no more, no less, just within the range.
All sixty men were armoured and armed with wooden swords.
Chen Zhongheng said in a low voice: "Official, these armors are all borrowed from the Cao family from the front of the palace, and the Privy Council already knows about it. ”
The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was most worried about rebellion, so these had to be explained.
Zhao Shu looked around and nodded with satisfaction.
Look around, hundreds of officials are standing below, and if those sixty people want to rebel, they have to pass this level first.
After saluting, Zhao Shu said: "I don't know what to practice when performing martial arts, but the prince is here, he knows more than me, so you will practice them one by one." ”
That's foreshadowing.
My son is better than me in martial arts.
It's an affirmation.
Cao Yan glanced at Zhao Ji, remembering that he had been messing around with Shen An for a long time, and he felt a little weak.
Shen An's set doesn't work!
He didn't know, but as a powerful man on paper, he could only trust Shen An, a famous general of the Great Song Dynasty.
"Drill up."
Cao Tong stood on the side, his expression solemn.
The sixty men were scattered in two groups, standing opposite each other thirty paces apart.
These sixty people are the family of the Cao family, which has been passed down from generation to generation in Cao Bin's time, and they can be regarded as the last capital to settle down.
The leaders on both sides were white-haired old soldiers, and when Zhao Shu saw it, he asked, "Where did those two come from?" ”
Cao Tong said closely: "The official family, these two are the descendants of the first generation of guards of the Cao family, and they also killed enemies in the frontier back then...... Heavy casualties. ”
This is the Cao family's means of cultivating guards, and it is also the heart of the fist.
The guards who fought on the battlefield were casually thrown in a certain army, and it was more than enough to serve as a commander, but they were held back in the Cao family as guards, and there was no place for them.
This is faithfulness.
"Originally, it was intended to be used when the children of the Cao family went into battle, right?"
Zhao Shu was very satisfied with Cao Tong's confession, so his attitude was a lot kinder.
But this is also taught by Shen An.
- When the official asks you, just say it directly, don't hesitate, don't lie, you have to know one thing, that is, you are all the key figures of the Imperial City Division.
Cao Tong did so, and the effect is good so far.
Anbei, thank you!
Cao Tong was grateful in his heart and said, "Yes, the official family is wise. ”
Zhao Shu said with a smile: "The Cao family originally wanted to make a difference in martial arts, but then the children gradually lost Wu Yong. It's not bad to be in your generation now, if you can shine today, and there is a chance to go on in the future, I will consider it. ”
When Cao Tong heard this, he said happily: "Thank you official."
Zhao Shu nodded slightly, "Let's start." ”
Cao Tong called for practice just now, and the two old pawns didn't move at all, this is the opportunity, at least they know how to observe words and emotions better than Cao Tong, the head of the family.
Chen Zhongheng walked over and said, "The official family has an order, let's start." ”
In an instant, the eyes of the two old pawns were full of indifference, looking at each other and shouting: "Kill it!" ”
There is no formation, there is no formation, and the small-scale fight is about bravery!
Zhao Shu asked, "Why is there no formation?" ”
That's an embarrassing question!
Cao Tong forgot Shen An's explanation and said, "Official, this is the negligence of the minister. ”
Zhao Shu felt that he had caught Cao Yan's shortcomings, so he smiled and said: "Niang Niang said that you are familiar with military books, and you want to be good at this, so you should pay attention to it in the future." ”
He felt that he could still guide Cao Tong anyway, and his sense of accomplishment gradually filled.
Zhao Ji frowned and said: "Small-scale battles emphasize bravery, but the formation is useless. ”
He felt that his father had also been poisoned by Emperor Taizong, and he was in a position at every turn.
The formation is useful, but what is even more useful is the command of the general.
Zhao Shu felt that he had been fooled by Cao Yan, and instantly lowered his opinion on this martial arts exercise.
Cao Tong just wanted to explain, and it had already begun over there.
The two old pawns rushed together first.
The lightning slash of the wooden knife and parry......
Bang bang!
The wooden knives of the two kept blocking the impact, and the gaps gradually intensified.
Those strong men were scuffled together, and the wooden knife slashed without hesitation, and they didn't avoid it at all, and directly slashed according to the vital point.
Even if you have armor protection, it is not comfortable to be cut once, and if you are unlucky, you will not be hit hard.
"Smack!"
The wooden knives of the two old pawns slashed hard, and as a result, one of the wooden knives was cut off.
The old man with the broken knife did not panic, he threw out the half of the wooden knife in his hand, and then pounced on it fittingly.
The old soldier swung his knife and slashed at his opponent's shoulder.
Zhao Shu heard a muffled sound and couldn't help but squint his eyes. I think it's too tragic.
The stabbed old man roared, slamming his hands on his opponent's ears.
Bang!
The mid-punch pawn stared blankly, which was a sign of delirium, but he still remembered to swing the punch.
Bang!
The opponent naturally refused to back down, and the two of them swung their fists hard, punch after punch, blood continued to flow, and they shot ......
"Stop!"
Zhao Shu couldn't bear it in his heart, and Cao Tong couldn't bear it either, but he remembered Shen An's explanation: Be real and show the most tragic side of the battlefield to the officials, and this matter will be half the success.
Cao Tong just wanted to stop it, but the two old pawns staggered and began to retreat......
Phew!
The two old pawns fell to the ground heavily, and everyone was shocked.
……
Good night everyone!
