He sat for a while, but saw a group of Han teenagers running from not far away, the young man at the head was black and tall, but he was holding a leather ball in his hand.

Shen Tuo glanced at it, and he already understood in his heart that this group of teenagers must be fun-loving, thinking that there was no one in the polo field at night, so they came with the ball, wanting to play for a while by the moonlight.

He saw it, but the golden soldiers in the field also saw it. Seeing the hesitation of this group of Song teenagers, a golden man who looked like a small officer stood up and pointed at the group of teenagers: "You guys, come here!" ”

Although his Chinese pronunciation is strange, it is clear and intelligible. Although the young men were unwilling, they had to walk slowly.

The officer was obviously tired from playing ball, and half lay on the ground, and smiled at the approaching teenagers: "Han barbarian, kicking around on the ground, what does it look like?" Come, our horses are not tired of running, you get on the horses, and show us a fight on the horses. ”

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the Jin soldiers were very bored, and they wanted to greet the officials, so they all said: "Get on the horse and fight, let's see the riding skills of the Han barbarians, haha." ”

The group of teenagers was obviously dominated by teenagers who played the ball on the head, although they understood the order of the Jin soldiers, they stood still one by one, only looking at the teenager in a daze.

The black-faced young man lowered his head and thought for a moment, then rolled his eyelids and said to the golden soldiers: "Ladies and gentlemen, the little ones can only walk, not ride horses. ”

With that, he turned his head towards the young people behind him, and left.

He just said it well, he was born with this attitude, and it was clear that he didn't take all the gold soldiers in his eyes. The golden soldiers, who were still lazily lying on the ground at the beginning, were furious, stood up one by one, pointed at him and scolded angrily: "Do you want to die, I will kill you if you don't get on the horse!" ”

The officer was furious, picked up a horsewhip from behind him, and whipped it on the black-faced young man's body, scolding while whipping: "Don't give you face, can't you kill you?" ”

The young man's body was crackling, but he only bit his lip and did not make a sound.

The officer was tired, dropped the leather whip, and saw that the young man's face was covered with blood, but he was not spared, and he admired it in his heart, and couldn't help laughing: "His grandmother's is a hard bone, which is rare among the Southern Barbarians."

He said: "Okay, look at your kid's hard bones, Lao Tzu appreciates it very much." In this way, now listen to Lao Tzu's orders, and I will spare you this experience. If not, I'll give you a knife, see if your bones are hard, or Lao Tzu's knife is hard! ”

Although the officer intended to let the boy go, the boy still stood still. Shen Tuo looked at it from a distance, and when he saw that it was not a problem, he coughed twice and stepped forward.

But the golden men did not take him to heart, and when they saw him near, they still lay down on the ground. Only the group of young men was a Song person, and when they saw Shen Tuo approaching, they saw his face clearly by the light of the fire, and the young men hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

Seeing everyone kneeling, the officer glanced at Shen Tuo, but only asked the young man, "What's the matter, it still can't be done?" ”

As he spoke, he tightened the saber in his hand, showing that if the young man did not agree, he would cut it down.

If Shen Tuo interceded with him, he would inevitably touch his nose. This group of golden people, even the concubines of the Song family should be killed, and the traitors should be raped, where did they put the second emperor in their eyes. This group of teenagers was obviously arrested here with their parents that day, even if they are noble children, how can they compare with the emperor's concubine?

As long as there is a slight contradiction, it must be the first two places on the body.

Shen Tuo knew the reason, so he hurriedly asked the black-faced young man, "Who are you, which family's son?" ”

The black-faced young man didn't pay attention to the golden man, only kowtowed, and then hugged his fists and replied to Shen Tuolang: "The ministers are extremely good, knock on the official family!" ”

Shen Tuo's eyes lit up, he took another step forward, took his hand, and asked with a smile, "Are you a child of a farming family?" ”

A hint of pride flashed across Chongji's face, his youthful nature, although he was in great trouble and worried about his life, he was still happy and proud that the emperor knew that he was a child of the Chong family.

At that moment, he kowtowed again and replied: "The minister's father planted the ancients, and the grandfather planted the teacher's way." ”

Shen Tuo saw his demeanor, down-and-out and generous, neither humble nor arrogant, between his manners and actions, although he was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, he was no different from an adult, he was very happy in his heart, knowing that the records in the history books were true, the Northwest Seed Family, sure enough, was a good family of generals in the Song Dynasty, and the family education was excellent.

It's just that the crisis in front of him is imminent, and he doesn't care about talking to the seed anymore, so he just said: "The sons and daughters of the seed family are all good men and generals, can't they even get on a horse?" ”

was so despised, although the other party was the emperor, Chongji still said angrily: "The minister has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, don't say that he can get on a horse, even if he fights on horseback, it is also ordinary." ”

"Okay, then you get on your horse, ride a few laps, and make a few shots, and let me see."

The emperor has a life, but he is different from the golden officer. He immediately agreed, and immediately approached a war horse, and rode to the horse with ease in a very beautiful posture.

He was obviously the leader of this group of teenagers, and as soon as he got on the horse, all the teenagers didn't wait for Shen Tuo's orders, they just ran over one by one, jumping on the horses one after another.

In this way, although the Jin soldiers were still not angry at the young people for not listening to the call, they also knew that Shen Tuo intended to play a round, after all, the other party was the lord of a country, but it was not good to embarrass him too much.

At that moment, everyone snorted coldly, and said, "Look at how they ride!" ”

Shen Tuo didn't say anything, only smiled slightly again, and sat down again on the sidelines. He likes to read history books in his spare time, and he naturally knows in his heart that the family is a famous family of military generals in the Northern Song Dynasty, and he produces good generals, but in fact, his role is still above the Yang family generals who are popular among the people. Although he looks childish, he is tall and has deep calluses on his hands, which is obviously caused by his frequent use of weapons and horseback control. The one who can mix with him must also be a young man, and his riding skills will not be bad. With this thought, he was not worried that the teenagers would make a fool of themselves in front of this group of golden golfers.

But as he expected, more than ten Song teenagers, either the children of the forbidden army family in Beijing, or the border generals such as the family of the family, although the status of the Song Dynasty soldiers is low, but it is an out-and-out professional military system, different from later generations, the military generals have strict learning, and they have to learn martial arts and read military books since childhood, so these teenagers in the field are athletic and athletic, and their riding skills are extraordinary. They don't know much about the rules of polo, but between the pitches, there is no hindrance in control, the war horses are under their control, galloping back and forth, fast as the wind, and everyone plays the clubs one after another, which is also very orderly.

The group of golden soldiers wanted to make fun of them, but when they saw this, they had nothing to say. After half a ring, the officer shouted, "It's done, it's not our horses that have been broken." ”

Chongji and the others were enjoying riding, but they couldn't, so they had to jump off the horse one by one, but they were all calm and relaxed, and they were not tired.

Seeing that the Song people had gained face, even Shen Tuo was very happy with a smile on his face, and the Jin soldiers were unhappy in their hearts, but they were not interested in practicing again.

At the moment, they entered the field one by one and led their war horses, and they came out one after another. When entering and leaving, all the golden soldiers raised their eyebrows and were murderous, but many Song teenagers were not afraid and looked as usual.

When the Jin people left, the seed pole took the lead, and more than ten teenagers cheered, showing that they were extremely happy.

Shen Tuo couldn't help but sigh, and said secretly: "Hundreds of thousands of Song Dynasty soldiers and generals are all very afraid of the Jurchens. It is said that at this time, when facing the base, it was dozens of miles away, and when I heard that the Jurchens had arrived, I was afraid that my soul would be frightened. Only these teenagers, whose blood is in full bloom, are still useful. ”

When he thought of this, his heart moved. At that moment, he waved his hand to stop the cheers of the young people, summoned them one by one, and asked for their names with a smile.

This question is as expected, this group of young people are all the children of Yang, Chong, Xue, Kang and other families of the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army and border generals. Or when the city of Tokyo was besieged, he was captured with the second emperor, and when the second emperor stayed in Yanjing, the Jin people were escorted from all over the north.

He nodded his head and said to the young man who was extremely young: "You young martial arts, I like it very much. The current classes in front of the palace are scattered, and the Jin people don't allow me to reorganize again. Therefore, the guards around me now are only three or five loyal and upright people, and they are not enough to call. You are not too young, would you like to go to the pre-temple class and serve me? ”

Being able to go to the Son of Heaven and be a direct guard of the imperial front class was the fastest promotion method for professional soldiers in the Song Dynasty, and it was also the most glorious one. In addition to the forbidden army, there are also the royal forest army such as the pro-military division in front of the palace. Moreover, the greatest honor of a soldier is to serve the country, and the emperor is the symbol of the country at this time, and it is naturally the pride of a soldier to be able to protect his safety in front of the emperor.

Therefore, although Shen Tuo is now just an empty shell emperor, the psychological stereotypes of everyone's psychology have not changed because of this, let alone these hot-blooded teenagers?

Without hesitation, Chongji and the others immediately knelt down in front of Shen Tuo, and said, "The ministers are willing to serve Your Majesty!" ”

These teenagers, who were only fifteen or sixteen years old, bowed down to Shen Tuo at this time, but their faces were full of loyalty and determination. It seems that as long as Shen Tuo gives an order, it will make them immediately fight with the talented Jin soldiers, and they will never hesitate.

Shen Tuo sighed in his heart, but his face was soft and gentle, he stepped forward to help the young people up one by one, and said with a smile: "Actually, there are golden soldiers guarding here, which seems dangerous, but it is very safe. If you want to come to me, it is also a lot of experience, and in the future, when you become adults, it will be the time for you to truly serve the country. ”

Seeing the disappointment on the faces of the young men, Shen Tuo smiled secretly in his heart, and only said: "In a few days, I will go to Beijing to watch polo at the invitation of Zong Wei, and you all go with me, how about it?" ”

The seeds replied in unison: "The ministers are willing to follow Your Majesty." ”

Shen Tuo instructed again: "Okay, it's late, although you are young, don't always violate the taboo of the Jin people, go back early to rest." ”

The teenagers were taken away, but Shen Tuo himself was not in a hurry to return.

He sat down slowly, his hands on his knees, and his face contemplative.

Vaguely, he seemed to have found some way, but he felt erratic and difficult to confirm. There is still no clue how to take the next move and revitalize the current dilemma.
