In the Wu Tent

Tuoba Shen and Li Biao and the others knelt on the guest seat, took the porcelain cup from the plate, nodded to the waiter, and drank cold water after a few polite words to Xiao Wei and the others. looked up at the sandalwood screen with the map hanging in the tent, but saw Xiao Zhen and a group of attendants coming out of the sandalwood screen, looking like they had changed their clothes.

beckoned Li Biao to put down the water cup, got up and said in unison with Xiao Wei and the others: "Your Majesty! ”

Xiao Zhen nodded, beckoned everyone in the tent to sit down, and after ordering the left and right to fetch the fruit, he also sat in the main seat, and after looking around the tent, he saw that Liu Yin, who was sitting on his left side was originally Xiao Wei's position, was very restrained, his head was full of sweat, and his eyes were a little cringe, obviously very uncomfortable with this kind of big scene of dozens of people gathering together.

Xiao Zhen instructed the attendants to take the bronze jian and hand towels, scrub them for Liu Yin, and then said to Xiao Zhaoye, the king of Nanjun, who was sitting under Xiao Yin: "The king of Ruyin is young and intolerant of heat and heat, the Dharma body, you accompany the king of Ruyin out of the tent to blow the wind, don't go far." ”

"Yes"

Xiao Zhaoye inherited his father Xiao Changmao's body shape a little, and he couldn't stand the heat for a long time, so after listening to his grandfather's words, he quickly got up and agreed, and stepped forward to hold Liu Yin's hand, but Liu Yin looked a little nervous, and he wanted to refuse but hesitated.

Xiao Zhaoye saw Liu Yin squeaking, he was in a hurry to go out, and when he grabbed him, he used a little strength, and Liu Yin's wrist hurt, so he had to get up and follow behind.

"Ahem!" Xiao Zhen coughed lightly on his side, looking at Xiao Zhaoye's eyes a little sharp, obviously very displeased. Xiao Zhaoye turned around and saw that his grandfather was annoyed, so he easily opened Liu Yin, said a few polite words, asked Liu Yin to be in front, and followed him to the outside of the tent.

Seeing Xiao Zhaoye and the two of them out of the account, Xiao Zhen retracted his gaze and sighed in his heart. But he saw Tuoba Shen with his hands on his knees, sitting upright, and watching Xiao Zhaoye and the others. A series of thoughts floated in my mind.

At the beginning of the year, when Pei Zhaoming and Yan Jun returned to the court, they had a private edict, and described in detail the before and after of docking with Tuoba Shen at the State Guesthouse of the Northern Dynasty.

He hadn't met Tuoba Shen at that time, and his knowledge of Tuoba Shen was limited to Pei Zhaoming and Yan Jun's description of the two, and he didn't feel much about it. And he is an emperor, he has seen a lot of strange people and strange people, and he has seen a lot, and he doesn't think that a child he doesn't know can be so genius, at most he is Xiang Lu, Gan Luo and the like. Pei Zhaoming may have said this because he suffered a small loss from Tuoba Shen, so he deliberately exaggerated to cover up his failure. So he didn't take Pei Zhaoming's words to heart.

And since receiving the communication from Xuzhou in the Northern Dynasty, he remembered Pei Zhaoming's words again. Although he has only had two contacts with Tuoba Shen in the past few days, he has a much more intuitive feeling about Tuoba Shen through personal experience and observation, as well as the relays of Xiao Wei and Xiao Ziqing, Jiang Song of the ancestral hall and others.

Although it was only three or four days, he was deeply impressed by Tuoba's quick wit, self-discipline, and courtesy. Needless to say, there are many people in ancient times who can be called young and intelligent, and he has seen a lot of prodigies, which he can understand.

Compared with intelligence, what he values more is courtesy and self-discipline, especially the latter. Since ancient times, self-disciplined people have often been able to get ahead if they have the opportunity to do so, because they are more able to restrain themselves. Even if this advantage is him, it is similar to Tuoba Shen, and he is secretly surprised by this section.

Thinking about Xiao Zhaoye, the eldest grandson of nearly twenty years ago, who was so impatient with an uncrowned young man just now, Xiao Zhen couldn't help but think: What the predecessors said, the saint was born to know, could it be that he is talking about him!

Thinking of this, Xiao Xun waved his hand to beckon the attendant, and after whispering a few words, the attendant walked out of the main tent.

Tuoba Shen looked at Xiao Zhaoye and Li Biao who walked out of the tent, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Although Xiao Zhaoye has a tendency to get rich, he is a handsome guy, with a body of at least one meter eight or more, and the overall feeling can be regarded as suave. But thinking about it, this handsome guy found a wife who sent him a green grassland, and he felt a little more sympathy.

"This is my eldest grandson, Wang Zhaoye of Nanjun, who stayed in the East Palace to study for a long time on weekdays, just because he heard that there was a martial matter today, so he accompanied the King of Ruyin here."

。。。。。。

After resting in the military tent for about two minutes, Shen Wenji, the leading general in charge of Xia Miao's next activities, wore a military uniform and came in with two lieutenants to report that Xia Miao's field hunting had been arranged, and the sergeants were already in their respective positions, and asked Xiao Zhen to come out of the hunting enclosure.

Xiao Zhen got up and said to Xiao Wei, Xiao Ziliang and others: "Qing and the others have all gone to change their uniforms and hunt with me." ”

"Yes!" Xiao Wei and the others stood up and saluted.

Xiao Zhen nodded, and said to Tuoba Shen: "The northern envoy can go to the Xuanwu Field with me later." ”

"Dare not obey your orders," Tuoba replied cautiously.

Xiao Zhen had to personally participate in the hunt, and all the officials present, regardless of civil and military, would definitely be driven into the field to defend him. The master is gone, and of course he, Li Biao and the others have no reason to stand on it and watch the ceremony. The second oldest in the earth, the third in the emperor, no one can stand on the emperor's head and watch the play.

Xiao Zhen nodded, and after the service of several attendants went down, the tent changed into a uniform.

After Tuoba Shen and Li Biao and the others left the main tent, they all returned to their seats and sat down, waiting for Xiao Zhen and the others.

。。。。。。

In the sound of drums, Xiao Zhen walked down the wooden steps, several entourages behind him with pheasant tail umbrella covers, surrounded by Xiao Wei, Xiao Ziliang, Xiao Ziqing and other part-time attendants, nearly ten people in the scattered cavalry, and more than 20 ministers in the scattered cavalry province on the periphery, all wearing military uniforms, with knives and swords, before and after the branches.

Tuoba Shen and a few people followed behind Liu Yin, Xiao Zhaoye, Shen Yue and others, walked to the wooden steps, and looked at the bottom of the Wu Tent. I saw that the Xuanwu field was already full of sergeants with spears in their hands, and hundreds of accompanying generals in front of the Oka military drum platform had already lined up, waiting for Xiao Zhen. Nearly a hundred steps to the left of these generals were some officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Du Cao Administration. In addition, there were envoys from various countries, including several Rouran envoys, who stood behind them.

Xiao Zhen was in front of the snare drum platform, after greeting the generals, after saying a few words, surrounded by hundreds of people, he walked to the gate and stopped a few steps in front of his high-wheeled hunting car. The two sergeants carried the stairs over and placed them under the gate behind the hunting cart.

Xiao Cheng took a few steps forward, and when he was about to step into the car, he turned to look at the crowd behind him for a while, then turned his head and asked Xiao Wei, "King Ruyin, where is the northern envoy?" ”

Tuoba Shen and Li Biao and others were not far behind, and they were about to wait for Xiao Zhen to get into the car and go to the envoy area to watch the ceremony with the envoys of various countries, but when they heard Xiao Zhen's question in front of them, they were puzzled, and they didn't know what Xiao Zhen asked him to do.
