Chapter 68: The Two Kings Fight Cocks
Wu Qing's injury was extremely concerned by Empress Wu, and the next day he sent an imperial doctor to diagnose and treat him, and used the precious medicinal materials of the royal inner treasury, and in just one day and one night, the injury suddenly improved and scabbed.
Wu Qing was also quite glad that Wu Minzhi's dagger just missed the pipa bone, otherwise he would have injured the pipa bone, and he would not have thought about practicing martial arts in this life. It was also this time that Wu Qing truly realized the importance of martial arts.
On this day, Princess Taiping ran to Wufu to visit Wuqing, although Wuqing didn't have a good impression of this cousin. But after all, it's a cousin, and this cousin will also be a powerful lord in the future, if you can have a good relationship, it won't be a big help in the future. At this point, he didn't know that Empress Wu and the Wu clan had discussed that the Taiping Duke would marry him in the future. If he knew, Wu Qing didn't know how to feel?
"Wechen has seen the princess!" Wu Qing bowed.
"Cut, okay, cousin, there are no outsiders here, where did you get so much courtesy." Seeing Wu Qing looking at her maidservant's face, Taiping smiled and said, "Are you looking for Shangguan Wan'er?" ”
Wu Qing didn't hide it, so he asked, "Cousin, why didn't Wan'er come with you?" ”
Taiping didn't think much, and said: "Wan'er is my mother's maidservant, not mine, besides, it's just a maidservant, cousin, why are you so concerned?" ”
Wu Qing was speechless, he wanted to reprimand him angrily, but seeing that Taiping had no scheming, he smiled bitterly: "Wan'er has not been in the court since she was a child, and she has suffered a lot, so it's understandable to care about her." ”
Taiping nodded as if he understood, and then said, "Cousin, how are your injuries, I hate that Wu Minzhi!" As he spoke, a trace of hatred flashed in Taiping's eyes.
Wu Qing also hated Wu Minzhi, but after this incident, he also figured out a lot of things, so he said: "The injury is not a big deal, I am afraid that I will fall into the root of the disease in the future." ”
"Speaking of this, I really want to thank you, cousin, if it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened that day?" Taiping said, "Since my cousin is fine, let's go to the king's brother's house, and it's also in this workshop." ”
Wu Qing was taken aback, this British Mansion is also in this workshop, isn't it nothing to look for, and you have to go around in the future? Wu Qing was very unhappy, but he couldn't help it, so he followed Princess Taiping out of the Wu Mansion and walked towards the Ying Wang's Mansion.
Approaching the British Palace, he saw the crowd on the opposite side, Wu Qing looked up and saw that it was Pei Wang's Mansion, which was too exciting, there were two palaces in one square.
I saw a high platform set up in the middle of the street, and a large group of slaves and maids of the palace were shouting loudly.
"Quick, quick, on, General!"
"Haha, second brother, you are going to lose today, your general is going to be defeated by me, Zhonglang General, kill me today!" I could only hear a young man shouting loudly.
Wu Qing raised his head, only to see King Pei and King Ying sitting on both sides of the high platform, and the two groups of royal people and horses were separated around, and they were watching the center of the field excitedly. Wu Qing and Princess Taiping went to the high platform, and their own servants got out of the way. Looking at the center of the high platform of the Wuqing Dynasty, I saw two majestic fighting cocks pounce and peck, entangled together, and in the shouts of the slaves and maids, like the red-faced enemy, frantically attacking each other.
This is cockfighting? I have heard about the popular cockfighting in the Tang Dynasty for a long time, is it like this, and soon, one of the fighting cocks was defeated, and its own slaves grabbed it and put it in the cage.
Then King Li Zhe smiled and said: "Second brother, today my Zhonglang will win, you have to lose me a hundred taels!" ”
Pei Wang Li Xian's face was gloomy, but he was still quite graceful, and said: "Third brother, isn't it just a hundred taels, what are you doing in a hurry, I still have a hussar general, what are you talking about." ”
Hearing Li Xian say that his hussar general, King Li Zhe's face darkened, the hussar general had won him ten games in a row, but fortunately, the hussar general seemed to be in poor condition in the past few days, and he didn't play today, so he won the middle general.
Li Xian looked at the general in the cage and said hatefully: "Pull the general out for me and cut it down, with the right military law!" ”
Wu Qing ignored these things, but talked to Wang Bo, and both of them admired each other's talents. Wang Bo especially liked the lyrics of "Ni Dress and Feather Song", and wanted to know which woman Wu Qing was describing. Wu Qing realized that Wang Bo had reached the peak of adolescence at this age, and Wang Bo had just performed the crown ceremony, and he could already marry a wife and have children.
Wu Qing only sighed in his heart, Goddess Yang is afraid that they can't wait, and even if they wait, they can only leave this hatred endlessly. Wu Qing had no choice but to answer that he saw it when he was sleepwalking in his sleep.
Wang Bo also understands that if Wuqing is not sleepwalking in Xianque, he really can't write such a sad poem at Wuqing's age. But he admired Wu Qing very much in his heart, and in the case of "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", when he turned the first page, he was deeply attracted by the story inside, so much so that he read it all night.
Wu Qing can only be modest, and the discussion with Wang Bo is more focused on the emperor and the people, but it is a pity that Wang Bo's set is only based on the general understanding of scholars and doctors, there is nothing new, and Wu Qing can't help but sigh at the ideological limitations of celebrities in this era.
For three days in a row, Peiwang Li Xian and Peiwang Li Zhe set up a cockfight on Jishanfang Street. Wu Qing had no choice but to accompany Princess Taiping and King Li Zhe very boringly, and naturally exchanged experiences with Wang Bo in composing poetry.
When the Shangyuan Festival arrived, Gaozong issued an order to enjoy with the people, and the court was closed for three days, and the door was not closed.
Wu Qing also really saw what is called cockfighting lackeys, it is simply a boring thing, Wu Qing doesn't understand it very much, what is there to play with? Maybe it's the difference in mood, or maybe it's the effect of his soul in his thirties, he never felt that cockfighting lackeys were so attractive, and he actually made the two princes fight for each other.
On this day, before the opening, King Li Zhe said to Wu Qing: "Cousin, this king heard that Wang Bo on King Pei's side wrote an article, claiming to crusade against us on today's field, cousin, your talent is not under that Wang Bo, you have to give my cousin an idea!" ”
There is still such a thing, Wu Qing heard that there is such a ridiculous thing, these princes, can you be serious. But seeing Li Zhe's earnest expression, he was looking forward to looking at Taiping, and he looked like he wanted to say something.
Wu Qing said sadly and indignantly: "Since His Royal Highness wants the ministers to fight, the ministers have to fight!" ”
In saying this, there is a feeling that the wind is sluggish and the water is cold.
Li Zhe got up and said loudly: "Okay, this matter, cousin will entrust it to your cousin, I hope you have a lotus tongue, defeat that Wang Bo, and let King Pei's chickens sink into the sand under your cousin's saliva!" ”
Wu Qing scolded in his heart, Nima, this group of losers.
(Weakly begging for a ticket, tears running)
