Chapter 423: Champion Golden Order (I)
On the third day of the first month of the ninth year of the Great Qi Dynasty, the weather was exceptionally good (read the full text of the Great Wizard of the Wilderness). The northerly wind had ceased for days, and the dark clouds were gone, leaving only a few clouds lazily floating in the sky, dressed in white. If it weren't for the chill in the sun, the weather would have made it seem like a sunny March.
As early as the hour was punct, when it was still dark, Song Zheng and the others were all picked up by the generals on duty, and naturally let everyone prepare to take over. Thanks to the early rest of the sergeants last night, Song Zheng suppressed Ding Long, Cai Yong and others, so these elite soldiers of the city guards did not yawn, which made Song Zheng feel a little relieved.
Song Zheng preached the content of Feng Zhanbao and others last night to all the sergeants, and quickly asked everyone to eat breakfast. As soon as this little emperor came, he didn't necessarily have to toss it, so he fed his stomach first and then said, saving himself the strength to fight for the martial champion order.
After everything was cleaned up, Song Zheng led the sergeants to the gate of the martial arts courtyard and stood in line near the left side of the door. Han Kui led the two groups of sergeants and occupied the right side of the entrance of the martial arts. At this time, about 1,000 city guards were added to the martial arts, and all large and small roads were full of sergeants, and they really achieved three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry (the latest chapter of the Death Dream).
Immediately, a team of more than 100 red-clothed people appeared in everyone's field of vision. This group of sergeants wore red helmets and red robes, tied brocade belts around their waists, held relatively simple Changge, stepped on cloud soap boots, and walked in a majestic manner. In front of the team, there was a black-faced man of about forty, with a square face, no beard, silver thread, and a jade python belt around his waist. Under his crotch, a jujube red horse nearly eight feet tall is quite a divine horse.
Song Zheng knew that this was the forbidden army of Great Qi, that is, the internal division of the Imperial City Division. When the emperor travels, he will naturally first inspect the defense by the personnel of the internal department, clean up the idle personnel, and garrison the main road to ensure the absolute safety of the holy car. In addition, around the emperor, the specific security personnel are also in charge of the internal division.
Although the city guards had already inspected the Martial Academy, the personnel of the Imperial City Division still had to go through it. This is also a mandatory requirement, and the royal business must be perfect.
Although Song Zheng also belongs to the personnel of the Imperial City Division, he belongs to the Foreign Division, that is, he specializes in intelligence, which is completely different from the forbidden army. Song Zheng only knows the distinction between internal and external divisions, and as for the specific personnel, he doesn't know any of them. The black-faced man in front of him is fierce and steady, with an extraordinary spirit, and he looks like he is at least a first-level leader. Song Zheng took a closer look and silently remembered it in his heart.
The black-faced man arranged ten red-clothed forbidden soldiers on each side of the gate, and then led the others into the martial courtyard. The twenty forbidden soldiers stood on either side of the line like javelins with cold faces, motionless.
Although the city guards are known as elites, there is still a gap between them and the real forbidden army.
Waiting is often the most boring. However, Song Zheng calmed down, closed his eyes slightly, and exercised his breathing. The same is true of Han Kui, who is opposite him, looking like an old monk who is settled, as if he doesn't care about the things in front of him at all. As for the city guard sergeants led by the two of them, they were calm at first, but as the sun rose, everyone became a little restless, and whispered cool words to each other.
Song Zheng turned around and glanced at it, and the hum of the city guards gradually subsided. beckoned Ding Long with his hand, and said in his ear, "Tell everyone that if you want silver, you have to be more calm than the other party (Dao Tiantian)." If not, I don't mind letting Liao Jianjun tick off his name. ”
This trick really worked, and the more than 250 city guards under Song Zheng didn't say a word.
The hour has passed, and the sun has risen high. The city guards stood with different expressions, and could only look at each other. Only Song Zheng and Han Kui still haven't changed. Han Kui's face was expressionless, and his face was grim. Song Zheng turned up the corners of his mouth slightly, and his expression was serene. The two are in stark contrast.
Seeing that it was three o'clock in the morning, when everyone was bored, on the west side of the street in front of the gate, there was a sudden sound of gongs. The sound was extremely loud and regular: three strikes at a time, followed by three in quick succession, followed by a long pause, followed by three more strikes.
Everyone hurriedly shook their spirits and looked westward. The first thing that came into view was dozens of knights of the forbidden army, one in the forefront, holding a large silk and a five-clawed golden dragon painted on it. Afterwards, the knights, each holding a triangular flying dragon flag.
This was followed by a row of yellow turban wrestlers. Eight people carried a huge gong, which was yellow and bright, and the diameter was about a zhang. Two other guards, standing behind the gong, each holding a gavel, took turns striking it, and the closer they got, the more deafening it became.
After the Yellow Turban Lux, there were forbidden soldiers and horses, about a thousand people. These forbidden troops were similar to the more than 100 forbidden troops who had come to the martial arts academy before, but they were more neat and soaring into the sky.
In the middle of the forbidden army, two identical dragon chariots appeared, both of which were pulled by eight white horses nearly eight feet tall. The carriage is made of yellow brocade and embroidered with a dragon pattern. The cornices at the four corners above the carriage are four golden dragons with jewels in their mouths, and even the dragon's whiskers are trembling, which is vivid. As for the bottom, the four corners are the pattern of a big turtle, which is a little hideous in its might, which makes people tremble and be frightened.
The dragon chariot is extraordinarily decorated, and each has a delicate eunuch, waving the whip in a thoughtful manner, and walking slowly.
The two losses before and after are exactly the same, and they are also considered from a safety point of view. Back then, Zhang Liang plotted to assassinate Qin Shi Huang and "mistakenly hit the deputy car", and the role of this deputy car is still very crucial. As for the onlookers, they naturally couldn't figure out the reality and reality, so they could only honestly bow their heads and remain motionless (read the full text of the alien beast). The majesty of the royal family is not something that ordinary people can offend, and even if they really see the emperor's face, they can't look at it directly, which is also a necessary etiquette.
Song Zheng also noticed the two dragon chariots, and couldn't help but sigh that the little emperor was very well guarded. The etiquette of the Son of Heaven cannot be compared with others at all. Song Zheng had seen Qiao Zhenchuan's majesty, and he had also seen the momentum of the city guards to control Lan Shiguang, but compared with the holy car, it was far behind.
Da Xuan came to the gate of the martial arts courtyard, Song Zheng and Han Kui both performed military salutes, knelt on one knee, lowered their heads, clasped their fists with both hands, placed them above their heads, and waited for the arrival of the little emperor respectfully.
Long Yuan paused at the gate of the martial arts courtyard and entered the martial arts courtyard. Song Zheng quietly raised his head to take a look, and his heart suddenly jumped wildly. He saw that there were two people following Long Yuan. One of them, Song Zheng, knew that it was Xiao Hui. The other person was in his fifties, with a bright forehead, narrow eyes, thick eyebrows, and a two-foot silver hair that was neatly rooted in his roots, which was obviously carefully groomed. Dressed in a silver-white brocade robe, with a green jade belt, his abdomen bulged slightly. The crown of the head is a red horned hat, and the ends are black wings, and it keeps shaking up and down as the horse moves forward under the crotch, which looks a little funny.
This person can walk side by side with Xiao Juni, but his momentum is not weaker than Xiao Juni, no need to guess, this person is the minister of power Huang Yuandu. The civil official sat in a sedan chair, the military attache rode a horse, and this Huang Yuandu didn't even have armor, so he wore such an official uniform and rode on a horse. Although this dress is a little inappropriate, it unexpectedly adds a heroic aura to him, compared to the heavily armed juniper, this Huang Yuandu interprets another kind of authority.
Song Zheng didn't dare to take a closer look, just glanced at it quickly, and then lowered his head. He keenly felt that several eyes penetrating the bone marrow swept across his back, and then, Xiao Jun's slightly shrill and hoarse voice sounded, "Prime Minister Huang, these two are Song Zheng and Han Kui, when I entered the martial arts examination before, I came to the martial arts academy once, but I know them, these two people can be regarded as the leaders of this year's martial arts." The Prime Minister is known to know people, take a look, how are these two people? ”
"Sure enough, it's a young talent." Huang Yuandu nodded, and then said with a smile: "The prince knows, I have never known about the army, and the way of selecting talents in the army is completely different from the way of the imperial examination. ”
"The Prime Minister laughed (read the full text of the practice for evil)." Xiao Hui responded indifferently and turned his horse forward. Huang Yuandu's face did not change, his eyes glanced at Song Zheng and Han Kui, then stroked his beard and followed unhurriedly.
Song Zheng let out a long breath, this Huang Yuandu's vision seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, as if he couldn't escape his eyes at all. In contrast, Xiao Jun's eyes are cold, like a hook, hooking out your true inner thoughts. And Huang Yuandu doesn't need to tick at all, as if he can see through you at once. It is worthy of being the two leading traitors of the Great Qi Dynasty, and their eyes are vicious and fierce, and there is no difference.
All the forbidden troops entered the martial arts academy, and Lang General Feng Zhanbao also stood at the gate, instructing Song Zheng and Han Kui, each with their own city guard sergeants, to gather at the Jiazi training ground and wait for the competition to begin.
Song and Han had to sort out the team and came to the A-shaped training ground.
On the field, the forbidden army had already been distributed, and the entire A-shaped training ground was surrounded. The holy car is already in place. More than 10 sets of exquisite wooden tables and chairs stand on the south side of the A-shaped training ground. Further south, there are the emperor's two dragon chariots.
A handsome young man in his teens, dressed in a yellow dragon robe and a red coat, stood behind the desk heroically. While looking at the entering procession, he excitedly pointed out something. On both sides of him, Huang Yuandu and Xiao Hui echoed in a low voice. Behind the boy, a tall, lanky eunuch stood with his head bowed and bent over, as if his bones had been frozen by the cold.
The young man is naturally the current Great Qi Tianzi Xiao Ying, and the thin and tall eunuch is Song Zheng's old acquaintance who is full of money - now the noble man among the celebrities around the little emperor is known as the little nobleman. The holy car came to the martial arts academy, Huang Yuandu was the prime minister, and Xiao Ying was the captain, and they all came with him. One of these two is the emperor's maternal grandfather, and the other is his uncle, both of whom are extremely retained ministers. It's a bit unbelievable that it appeared in the martial arts academy at the same time this time.
Song Zheng and Han Kui stood at a distance of 100 zhang on the east and west sides of the wooden frame, looking at each other from afar. The city guard sergeants under his command were all ready to move, waiting for the last moment of collision.
While waiting, the two forbidden soldiers separated from each other and shouted loudly, "Song Zheng, Han Kui, come forward and see you!" ”?
