Liu Yan is in a very good mood today. Not only because he quelled the rebellion of Liu Qian, the king of Jin, but also because the imperial doctor said that Ji Chonghai, who was seriously injured on the day of the fire in Chang'an, finally saved his life after long-term treatment, although he lost a hand, but the wounds in other places began to heal, and he believed that he would recover in a short time. Liu Yan's feelings for this loyal imperial guard are naturally not comparable to ordinary people, after learning this good news, Liu Yan's face was like a spring breeze, and even when he met the counterinsurgency soldiers at the Jinluan Palace, he had a smile that could not be concealed. This scene of losing the majesty of the emperor was seen by Wu Sicheng, who had just recovered from his injury, and he couldn't help but smile.

After Anjing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, finished his usual lengthy speech, Liu Yan first gave Chang Miao a seat, and then began to ask about Chang Miao's return to the army to save the driver. After Chang Miao recounted the incident as it was, Liu Yan couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect Liu Xianzhi to be able to kill his relatives in righteousness and recall you for me, this kid has courage and courage." A few days ago, I received a seal from him saying that I had controlled the 100,000 troops in Taiyuan, and informed me that 5,000 elite horsemen were smuggling across the Yellow River to attack Chang'an. At first, I didn't believe it, but I didn't expect Danzhou to really find this cavalry, but fortunately, the Beiying Army sent troops in time to block it in Jingshui, north of Fangzhou, and successfully defeated it, otherwise it would be really difficult to deal with. ”

Chang Miao stood up and played: "Weichen heard that Tuqi had an attempt to go south along the way, but he was blocked by this Liu Xianzhi army, I don't know if it's true?" ”

Liu Yan nodded: "This is indeed the case, the Tuqi cavalry suddenly went south, as if there was a plan." Fortunately, Liu Xianzhi is prepared. And this Turk army was not particularly strong, and when the sneak attack failed, they plundered many cities along the Yellow River to the west. And then I went back. These robbers dare to take advantage of the fire to rob. I can't spare them. ”

Chang Miao said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, Weichen thinks that now he is using troops against Goryeo, and the country is not suitable for fighting on two fronts, so he should still take a defensive position against Tuqi now, and it is not too late to deal with them after pacifying Goryeo." ”

Liu Yan nodded and said, "I know what Chang Aiqing said. I have to be patient for the time being, but Aiqing doesn't want me to wait too long, and the affairs of Goryeo will be entrusted to Aiqing. ”

"Wechen will do his best to live up to His Majesty's expectations."

The two gentlemen and ministers said that they had some chores, and the topic turned to the martial arts of the generals. After being described by Chang Miao, Liu Yan became interested. I wanted to see the martial arts of the generals under Chang Miao, and Chang Miao had to follow the order. Liu Yan moved to the martial arts arena with hundreds of officials, and then Mu Yanping showed his amazing bow and arrow skills, and Xue Boren also demonstrated a set of knife techniques, which won bursts of applause. After Gao Dingbian and Lu Qinghan's nephew and uncle practiced marksmanship, the officials did not applaud, but marveled at the subtlety of this marksmanship.

Liu Yan was very satisfied, and suddenly his eyes rolled and asked, "I remember that there seem to be two more people." One is named Su Chengdong and the other is Wang Hanxin, why don't these two see each other? ”

Chang Miao had no choice but to reply: "Your Majesty, Su Chengdong commanded the Liaodong Army to retreat north and failed to come. That Wang Hanxin has been demoted to a soldier because he has violated military law, so he can't enter the palace to face the saint. ”

Liu Yan became more interested when he heard this, so he asked about the cause and effect. After hearing Wang Hanxin's argument that he would commit it again after beating him to death, Liu Yan couldn't help laughing. said: "This kid is very interesting, and he has a good word. Let this kid enter the palace, and I will see him in person. ”

Liu Yan's holy decree. Wang Hanxin came to Liu Yan in a short time. Liu Yan looked at Wang Hanxin looking around at Qionglou Yuyu there, and forgot to kneel down and kowtow to himself, and couldn't help laughing: "Wang Hanxin, why don't you kneel when you see me?" ”

Wang Hanxin woke up like a dream, fell to his knees, and said: "Your Majesty, the villain thought it was in a dream when he saw this meeting, but he didn't want all this to be true, and the emperor forgave him." ”

Liu Yan was happy in his heart, and said, "I want you to show your martial arts in the martial arts arena, are you willing?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the villain is unwilling."

Wang Hanxin's words startled everyone. Someone dared to disobey the emperor's order, this kid is afraid that he is stupid. The first time Liu Yan heard that someone dared to refute his face, it was a little novel, so he asked, "Why don't you want to?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the villain's martial arts are low, if you talk about swordsmanship, the villain is not as good as Lord Xue, on archery is not as good as Chang Duhu and Mu Yanping, and when it comes to marksmanship, it is worse than my eldest brother Gao Dingbian, even if it is demonstrated, there is also an audio-visual stain on the emperor. Moreover, most of the villain's martial arts are obtained by accumulating experience on the battlefield, and they are not a rule, if the emperor does not dislike it, the villain is willing to show the moves used on the battlefield, and maybe let the emperor see something new. ”

Liu Yan saw that he had no stage fright in the face of such a scene, and he didn't mess up at all, and he couldn't help but feel a little more happy in his heart, so he said: "I'm ready, you can demonstrate it and take a look." ”

Wang Hanxin said again: "Thank the emperor for his permission." Since it's a move on the battlefield, there has to be a sparring talent. The villain implored the emperor to allow the villain to practice with his brother Gao Dingbian. ”

"Oh? Why is that? ”

"Back to the emperor, the villain and his brother are born and die together, the villain's every move and brother are very clear, and only the villain can be sure that no one will hurt anyone."

"Okay, that's right." Liu Yan waved his hand.

Wang Hanxin immediately stood up and rode into the martial arts arena with Gao Dingbian and the two. The two of them stood in the east and west, and then rode their horses to charge, and the two horses had the opportunity to kick wrongly, Wang Hanxin's double knives went straight to the neck and heart of Gao Dingbian, and Gao Dingbian used a spear to parry, and the two fought in one place. This battle for more than 30 rounds is not a winner, Wang Hanxin's knife turned into two white lights flying in the sky, and the gun on the Gaoding side was like a black dragon shuttling back and forth in the double knife, Wang Hanxin attacked like a storm, and the Gaoding side was impenetrable. Suddenly, Wang Hanxin shouted, and the double knives flew out of his hands and went straight towards the Gaoding side, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty screamed in shock. Look at the Gao Ding side with the spear left and right, the two knives are all opened, at this time Wang Hanxin has already flown up, grabbed the gun of Gao Dingbian with both hands, and kicked his legs towards Gao Dingbian's chest and abdomen! Gao Dingbian twisted his body, and at the same time turned his hands, so that Wang Hanxin's two feet fell into the air, Wang Hanxin abandoned the handle of the spear more and more, took advantage of the momentum to hug Gao Dingbian and turned hard, and the two fell to the ground from the horse together. After that, the two of them fought and rolled on the ground a few times, and then they separated, jumped up, and saluted everyone.

Compared with the previous martial arts, this scene has neither skill nor beauty at all, but the tension of this desperate struggle made everyone breathless, and it was not until the two of them finished saluting that everyone came to their senses and sighed.

Liu Yan clapped his hands again and again: "Okay! Good! Today I can see how the warriors fight on the real battlefield! This is really sacrificing your life and just seeking victory! Not bad, not bad! ”

Seeing this demonstration, Liu Yan couldn't help but think of the scene of the battle with the assassins that night, and the martial arts moves he practiced on weekdays could not even be used for thirty percent, but at that time, every move and style was a life-and-death fight, just like this demonstration, Liu Yan felt a sense of intimacy from the bottom of his heart.

Liu Yan, who was satisfied, immediately issued an order to seal Chang Miao as the protection of the capital of Liaodong from the second grade, and to be loyal and obedient; The veteran He Ling is the chief of the three products, Su Chengdong is the Sima of the fourth grade, Xue Boren is the general of the fifth rank of the upper Yu Lin Lang, Lu Qinghan is specially appointed as the prince from the seventh grade, Gao Dingbian is the captain of the seventh grade, and Mu Yanping is the ninth rank of the soldier Cao joined the army; Luoyang stayed behind Sun Jinxian to seal the festival and wait; Zhu Yi was given the post of loyal and righteous doctor, and was rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver; The rest of the generals who participated in the counterinsurgency led the soldiers and the Liaodong Army were promoted to one level, and the deceased were given generous pensions. Only this Wang Hanxin, Liu Yan hesitated for a long time, and said to Chang Miao: "This Wang Hanxin I like it very much, I intend to reinstate him as an official, what does Chang Aiqing think?" ”

Chang Miao smiled and said: "Your Majesty's decree is naturally nothing to say, but I am too conniving with this kid, I am afraid that he will be even more lawless." ”

Liu Yan smiled and said: "It's okay, if he has been, although Aiqing is punished, I will not be partial." Then it was settled. ”

Liu Yan made a holy decree, and everyone knelt down to thank him. The reason why this matter is worth recording in the history of the Silk Country is that this is the last time that the three generations of generals from the Liaodong Army gathered together, of course, people realized this until many years later.
