Chapter 2 The hunting ground suddenly welcomes the imperial concubine
In 1114 A.D., the Liao State located in the north began to boil like still water throwing stones, and the leader of the Jurchen tribe, Wanyan Aguta, inherited Du Bo Fiercely, and reorganized the soldiers and horses, cultivated sharp weapons, and launched a full-scale anti-Liao war. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The Liaojin War is up!
The brave iron cavalry of the Jurchen tribe trampled across the northeast land, but its war did not spread to the whole country, and the Dading Mansion with heavy troops on all sides was still quiet, the order in the city was not disrupted by the war, and the people came and went to trade and gather, and it was still prosperous.
On the outskirts of Zhongjing City, the royal hunting ground.
The fragrance of autumn chrysanthemums is accompanied by the fragrance of the earth, and the morning sun rises in the thin clouds.
Today's royal hunting ground is crowded with people, quite spectacular, because this day is the annual autumn hunting competition in Zhongjing City, which attracts many people in Zhongjing City to come to watch.
The bustling flow of people from the city to the hunting grounds was bustling, and the Imperial Guards maintained order here.
This autumn hunting tournament is the first time that the royal family has hosted it, and in the past, all the big forces in the imperial city of Zhongjing participated in the competition, and the royal family also has a good face, so this competition has also made a lot of effort, which can be described as unprecedented.
The so-called autumn hunting competition, the full name is the autumn hunting competition in Zhongjing City, which has been held for five sessions, at first it was suggested and held by the Sun Shiyi government in the city, at that time, in addition to some small forces in the city, but such as the Lu Mansion, the Liu Mansion, the royal palace and the royal family in the Hoi An Palace all sneered at it and did not think so.
The success of the first Autumn Hunting Tournament also brought the Desun family out of the limelight in the city, and the champion naturally fell on the head of the Sun Mansion without any suspense.
The autumn hunting competition from the first session is the name of the younger generation, no matter who the background and how the age of participation can only be under 18 years old, in other words, it is a competition between juniors, but it seems that the various forces are also quite interested in such a competition, this junior represents the new blood, is the future of a family, if who can achieve proud results among their peers, in fact, they are often more proud than those bad old men themselves won any awards.
With the successive addition of the second Liu Wang's two mansions, the fourth royal family also pushed the prestige of the entire autumn hunting competition to a new climax.
According to the rules of the Autumn Hunting Competition, the venue of the next tournament is in the hands of the previous champion's own power, so it can be known that the winner of the fourth championship is a member of the royal family.
Observation deck.
I have to say that the royal family is indeed a big deal, a main reading observation platform is quite atmospheric, more than a dozen pairs of rosewood delicate tables and chairs are neatly placed, each table is also placed with a variety of fruits, carved out of exquisite shapes, a mink carpet flat spread all over the countertop looks particularly luxurious.
On the left and right sides of the main reading and observation platform, there are neatly standing halberd-wielding warriors, dressed in pitch-black heavy armor, full of domineering, and there are as many as thirty of them. These samurai are all royal black-armored guards, and they are all warriors who are one in a hundred.
At this time, the guest seats were full of people, and there were also many people sitting, and the sound of conversation and laughter filled the entire observation platform, which was quite lively. All of them are well-known powerful families in Zhongjing City, and they came to watch or participate in the competition this time, and the representatives of Sun and Liu's mansions are also among them.
There is an old man over sixty years old in front of the main throne, he wears an official hat on his head, and a high-ranking official uniform of the Liao Court looks majestic, and there are two middle-aged people who are also wearing official uniforms next to him, obviously he also has an important position in this Zhongjing City. ”
The person who came was none other than Wang Helin, the lord of the palace, who was followed by two sons. Wang Helin's ancestor was originally the Sihan Luda of the Sixth Academy of the Thorn Tartar Department, and he was given the Han surname with the Taizu to fight with the hero, and after a few generations, he turned to business, although he had a Han surname, but the origin was the same as the Khitan, so this palace was the Khitan family.
As one of the four major forces in Zhongjing City, the palace originally operated a cloth business, and there were many family members in the Liao court? There are important positions in the army, and their strength should not be underestimated, so even Zhongjing Mansion Yin has to be treated respectfully.
Yin of Zhongjing Mansion, who was the official of the dynasty, Yelu Hongqi, was in charge of the Zhongjing City and the civil affairs under his jurisdiction, and his prestige in the city was also very high. Yelu Hongqi and Wang Helin briefly greeted the other guests.
"Oops, this... Isn't this the Prime Minister and the Shangshu-sama? It's a lively hunting ground today. After Wang Helin and Yelu Hongqi talked, they looked at the two people in front of the main throne and were shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward respectfully.
"Outside of the king, I haven't seen you for a long time." The old man in the middle also smiled when he saw Wang Helin ushering. This person is the left deputy prime minister of the Liao court, Yelu Dalu, originally this kind of autumn hunting competition is a competition between the forces of the capital, but the last championship was won by the royal family of King Lu, this time to host the autumn hunting competition Liao Ting also sent him to preside over the venue at the request of the royal family in Beijing, it seems that the royal family also attaches great importance to this kind of competition between the younger generations.
And beside Yalu Dalu is this Liao court ritual department Shangshu Yeluhe. The Sui Dynasty began to set up six departments, the beginning of the Tang Dynasty determined that the six departments were officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers, and each ministry took Shangshu and Shilang as the chief and deputy governors, and the Liao reformed the Han system, and the official positions of the Tang Dynasty were all high-quality, which is enough to see that the Zhongjing royal family attached great importance to the competition.
The two people behind Wang Helin also saluted Yelu Taru and Yelu He one by one, and such high-ranking officials naturally couldn't answer.
Just as Wang Helin was talking with the two adults, suddenly from the door came the sound of neat horse roars and armor footsteps, only to see the first to enter a group of knights, followed by hundreds of Royal Forest Guards took the lead into the hunting ground, with their entry, almost all the eyes in the field led there, with the sound of neat steps running through, slowly came into view is a double horse and driven to the golden carriage, the carriage can be seen everywhere with pure gold carvings, inlaid in the red wood refined into the gorgeous carport, The luxurious golden yellow and the gorgeous bright red complement each other, which looks incomparably atmospheric and extreme. It's just a carriage, but it's so luxurious, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's a tyrannical thing.
As the carriage stopped in front of the main reading platform, the groom stepped forward and took out a pair of small wooden steps from the bottom of the back of the carriage and placed them on top of the carriage and the ground, and then waited next to the small steps, and after half a moment, I saw the curtain made of amethyst in front of the carport slowly opened......
A hand as white as mutton fat stretched out and lifted the curtain made of amethyst and made a tinkling sound, and everyone in the room couldn't help but look up, and then all the chatter, laughter, and even the sound of breathing stopped abruptly at that moment.
The bright yellow figure stepped out in the bright sunshine, slightly low, and what caught the eye was the thousands of green silk raised to the sky, followed by a purple gold glazed holy phoenix hollow crown inserted with the best gold wire edge inlaid with purple gemstone beads slowly poked out, the face was as moist as cherry red, as if the peerless hibiscus, the slender willow eyebrows were painted and printed with a bewitching peach blossom, melon seed face, cherry mouth, the powder face was not revealed, and the red lips were not smiling.
A cloud-smoke silk satin woven purple gold silk butterfly cicada wing robe tightly wrapped in the fragrant body, enchanting and moving, wearing a purple red embroidered gold silk water lily robe down to the knee, and then a pale yellow tulle long skirt to the end of the robe to reveal more than three feet on the ground, graceful and elegant, luxurious and generous.
Qian's long thin fingers gently stroked the hair in front of his forehead, and a pair of precious lilac night pearls the size of his little finger on the earlobe swayed slightly, which was as graceful as the wind blowing willows, and seemed to be able to be numb off the man's hard bones for a moment, and willingly bowed down under his pomegranate skirt.
I saw that the woman had just moved out of front of the curtain, and everyone in the hunting ground was shocked, and a group of people on the main reading observation platform were so frightened that they hurriedly got up after seeing the woman, and went around to the table. And the three officials, when they saw this person, they also quickly knelt on the spot, and they didn't dare to raise their heads again.
The woman in the carriage paused slightly, and slowly walked down the small steps that had been arranged, and the groom on the side also stepped forward to help her for fear of stumbling and falling, and after she stepped firmly on the ground, she also quickly knelt down.
After a while, the curtain of the carriage was lifted again, and a handsome young man walked out of it, about sixteen years old, with a black and gold armor quite domineering, his hair was combed, and he held a dragon-patterned black iron sword in his left hand. ”
As soon as the voice fell, a burst of "hee-hee" laughter came, only to see a black shadow jumping out of the carport, lightly sweeping the eyebrows and eyes with spring, the skin is delicate and soft as warm jade, the cherry mouth is not dotted and red, delicate and beautiful, the two strands of hair on the cheeks are gently brushed with the wind to add a bit of seductive style, and the flexible eyes turn wisely, a little naughty, a little naughty, a light green long skirt, the waist is not full of a hand, so beautiful so flawless, so not eating the fireworks of the world. The little girl was about ten years old, and said with a smile: "Brother Jiu, go!" ”
The young man smiled, took the girl's soft little hand like clear water, and walked down the steps, the naughty little girl seemed to be very excited, and the steps were also two steps and one step at a time, but with the protection of the ninth brother, there was no danger at all.
"The Queen Mother." The young man took the little girl's hand, came behind the woman in front of him, and saluted.
The woman nodded, but did not reply, and walked straight to the main reading observation platform.
The Adam's apple of the three Yelutaru slid up and down, cold sweat was oozing from their foreheads, and even their bodies trembled a little, only to hear the footsteps stepping on the steps, coming slowly, getting closer and closer, louder and louder, and then hurriedly said: "The old (micro) minister knocked on the concubine Niangniang, met His Royal Highness King Lu, and saw His Royal Highness the Twelfth Princess. ”
"Mother, blessed Jin'an! Meet His Royal Highness King Lu! Meet Her Royal Highness the Twelve Princesses! After waiting for the words of the three of them, they also responded and said respectfully.
It is natural that there are no ordinary people who can get a place in this main reading and observation platform, and none of them know how fortunate this today's noble concubine Niangniang is to be favored by His Majesty, and what is more important is that His Majesty has always been obedient to her words in order to please the beauty. The generalissimo mutiny incident that caused a sensation in the whole country was the willow eyebrows of this concubine Niangniang, and Emperor Tianzuo actually directly dismissed the marshal soldier without asking the reason, which triggered the mutiny, of course, the incident developed to the end of the mutiny and was successfully quelled by the Liaozhong Army, but the generalissimo of a country, Emperor Tianzuo said to kill without even blinking his eyes, which shows that his status in His Majesty's heart is more than a "high" word! It is said that the supreme commander who was once in charge of the Imperial Soldier Ma Lijia ended up with a ruined family and beheaded all over the house, which is really sad and can't help but make people feel a cold sweat.
The concubine stopped in front of the three of them, paused for a moment, swept her eyes over the kneeling people around her, and then whispered: "Don't be polite, everyone, get up." ”
"Xie Niangniang." The crowd shouted in unison.
But even so, the cold sweat on the foreheads of the three of Yelu Daru did not diminish at all, after listening to the words of the noble concubine Niangniang, Yelu He and Yelu Hongqi also hurriedly helped Yelu Taru from left to right, after all, the latter was older and the action was quite inconvenient, Yelu Taru got up and coughed dryly twice, his face was like ashes, and he was extremely embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Niangniang, there is bloody violence in this hunting ground, and the sand is full of dust, I am afraid that I will dye the mother's golden body, if Your Majesty blames it, I can't afford it even if I have ten heads." Yelu Taruluo said with a little crying, and after saying in a panic, the two people beside him also responded again and again, the three of them were the highest official character here, if His Majesty blamed it, he would definitely blame the three of them, and the three of them knew in their hearts that the result would definitely not be better than that of the generalissimo.
The concubine was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then chuckled: "Don't get in the way, this time the palace came by itself, if Your Majesty asks about it and it has nothing to do with the three adults, you don't need to be frightened." After a slight pause, he looked at the boy on the side, and continued, "Hongyin was lucky to win the championship title before, and this mother, Bengong, has to come and see it anyway, I don't know if this so-called champion is well deserved?" Or is it in vain? ”
The young man beside him pursed his mouth slightly after hearing this, obviously the queen mother's words just now made him a little dissatisfied. And Yelu Taru heard it but said respectfully: "Where is Niangniang, His Royal Highness King Lu is already talented and intelligent, and his skills are even more arrogant to the younger juniors, don't say that in this district in the capital, even if you look at the entire empire, it is difficult to find an opponent." Jerodaro smiled bitterly, thought for a moment, and then continued, "Uh... That, that since the mother insists, it's inconvenient for me to say anything more, mother, please take a seat, please take a seat. With that, he hurriedly turned sideways to get out of the way, bent down and made a gesture of please.
The concubine nodded, said no more, and led the two children past the three of them towards the main seat. After the mother walked by, the three of them gently wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and cheeks, glanced at each other, and then sighed bitterly, obviously still having palpitations.
The concubine Niangniang walked to the table, just about to go around and sit down, suddenly heard a burst of horse neighing at the door of the hunting ground, and then turned to look, with the turn of the concubine Niangniang, the eyes of everyone in this room were attracted by the gate again.
I saw two neat rows of knights, both of whom sat on red horses, dressed in bronze armor and wearing pale red cloaks, majestic and majestic.
Seeing this scene, the audience was in an uproar, and the exclamations resounded through the world, and even the concubine Niangniang on the main reading and observation platform couldn't help but raise her eyebrows lightly, muttering to herself, "Fire Qilin? ”
"It's... Is this a fire unicorn? There are also well-informed people on the observation stage, and they can't help but talk about this scene.
The three of Yelu Taru in Taichung looked at each other again with a look of surprise, and then hurriedly looked at the two teams of cavalry marching in formation, and exclaimed...
"Lu Fu!"
