Falling Dust Chapter 52 A toast
Speaking of which, on the birthday of the Queen Mother, the seat position has also been paid attention to for a long time.
Wei is the first, one is that Wei has always been a strong army, known as a million troops, the general Xu Hu is a famous general in the world, Jingwu Prince Lin Bochang's last battle, also met the young Xu Hu at that time. There are also three generals, Jiang Chao, Lu Dingyi, and Zhao Binhai, all of whom are capable of fighting well, and they can be regarded as heroes at that time.
Especially Jiang Chao, in the northwest and Han Zhaoyuan and Ma Pingchuan of the Xia Kingdom, can be regarded as a three-legged stand, although Han Zhaoyuan fought the most ferocious and ruthless, and the Xia Kingdom surrendered. But Jiang Chao was silent, obviously he didn't make any big moves, but he made progress slowly and didn't take the territory of Xia Kingdom, but Ma Pingchuan patted his thigh in his hometown and scolded those courtiers for not wanting to make progress, but instead learned the intrigue in the south, hating those traitors who buried the country.
Because of the endless war on the mainland of Zhongzhou in the early years, the world still listed these famous generals one after another after dinner, and called it the "Tiger General List".
This first one, undisputed in the early years, was Lin Bochang, the Jingwu King of the Song State. At that time, the comment was "Bo Chang Bo Chang, Zhongzhou is cold, the Song Kingdom is three thousand miles under heaven, three points Zhao Huang, seven points Bo Chang"!
This is also very straightforward to say the horror of King Jingwu back then, the entire Zhongzhou is cold and cold, and seven points of the territory of the Song State are often beaten down by this King Jingwu Lin Bo.
And now the top of the list is Xu Hu who "reprimanded Xia Man, drove Liang Kou, pacified Jingwu, and 20,000 Wei soldiers and 100,000 enemy bones".
The second is Qin Zhenyuan, the Taiwei of Yan State, who "collected three passes, restored five states, and 100,000 Yan soldiers are not as good as many fathers-in-law and old men", and is also the father-in-law of the Emperor of Yan State. Over the age of sixties, he commanded all the soldiers and horses of the Qin State, the Xia State did not dare to enter, and the Song State did not dare to break through.
The third place is Han Zhaoyuan, who "rejected the Northern Wei Dynasty, controlled the Western Yan, and the Northwest Xia Kingdom suffered from it, and the 100,000 army was idle". There is no need to say more about his deeds, and it is crazy and reckless to look at it like this.
The fourth place is Jiang Chao, "The use of soldiers is like courage, silent things can be done, the smoke has not yet risen, and the military flag is planted in five cities." This low-key general attacked the city quietly.
The fifth place is Ma Pingchuan, who is free. "You have to have one horse and level three rivers, and you can receive one general and Ning three passes." Although it looks like a general defending the city, in fact, the general of this Xia country has always been the initiator of the border war. However, with this Ma Pingchuan, Wei, Song, and Yan can't make any progress.
The sixth place is Lin Jinchi, "Jingwu Wang's family has no seeds, and the wolf smoke is harvested on the fourth day of January", which is not easy for Lin Jinchi, a complete general who is placed in the middle of the kingdom and defends Kyoto. In fact, except for a few shots at the border in the early years, Lin Jinchi has not used troops in the past ten years.
The seventh and eighth places are Lu Dingyi and Zhao Binhai, while the ninth is Chen Songshan of the Liang State, and the tenth is Yin Jiao of the Chu State.
It can be seen from the top ten tiger generals that Wei occupies four seats, Song has two seats, and Xia, Yan, Liang, and Chu have one each.
Wei was also the most staunch ally of the Song state, and Wei not only restrained the steps of the Liang state to expand westward, but also contained the Xia state.
The second seat of the Yan State, here is the diplomatic envoy of the Yan State and the prince of Pingnan. This King of Pingnan is also a king with a different surname, and he is the son of Qin Zhenyuan, which caused an uproar in Yan State, and once made people feel that the situation in Yan Kingdom was bound to be turbulent, but it was later forcibly suppressed.
The third seat of the Liang State is their third prince Yang Jian, this prince also seems to be a bit of a prodigal during the banquet. This may be related to him being just an ordinary prince, and there is no hope of winning the heir, so it is better to be more free as soon as possible.
The fourth seat of the Xia State is at the end of the four major powers, although there is the Chu State with the fifth seat, the Chen State with the sixth seat, and some other small countries, but obviously this makes Wang Chenghua, the son of the Dingyuan King of the Xia State, very dissatisfied. From his expression, you can clearly see that he is unhappy, as if it weren't for the envoy next to him persuading his own son, he would have just thrown his hands and left.
After the envoys of Wei came to a birthday poem just now, everyone was singing praises and using the poems written in advance to pay tribute to the queen mother one by one, which was a rare group of joy.
In the birthday poems of other countries, some officials or nobles of the Song Kingdom also joined in, although these poems have their own benefits, but they are not nutritious.
"At the summer ceremony, there was a person Zeng Yun, 'The article is natural, and the clever hand can get it'! Lin Che, what kind of natural masterpiece can you get this time! Hahaha!"
His Majesty was also drunk, and apparently he also ordered the soldiers to order him, and wanted to let all countries take a look here.
"Your Majesty, the birthday poem has not been prepared in advance......"
Lin Che replied with some unresponsiveness, but the emperor seemed to be on the rise at this moment.
"I prepared in advance how to 'get a good hand', come, do it on the spot!"
Lin Che didn't dare to refuse now, no reason, there has always been a trace of uneasiness in Lin Che's heart today, as he spent more time at the banquet, this feeling of uneasiness became heavier and heavier, and he was completely out of state for a while.
Lin Che was depressed for a while, and he always felt sad and panicked, and he chanted a little distractedly: "Thousands of mountains and birds fly away, and thousands of paths and people disappear." Lonely boat, fishing alone in the cold river and snow. ”
The people in the hall were shocked, this poem is a great murderous text! "Absolutely", "extinguished", "lonely", "alone", such solemn words, put on this state banquet that has just been and the United States, it is not only incompatible, but also a little creepy.
The prince of Xia Guo next to him smiled contemptuously, and the envoys of all the countries widened their eyes and looked at this young man.
"Good poetry!"
Wang Chenghua, the prince of the Xia Kingdom, broke the short silence with a sudden shout, and his tone seemed to be drunk, but he also clearly heard the meaning of teasing.
His Majesty's face was already a little gloomy, but after all, he proposed to let him write a poem, which made his face cloudy. Lin Jue and Lin Jinchi were also panicked, they just felt that this kid was not in a good state today, but they didn't expect that they would blurt out such a colliding poem. Lin Che also seemed to realize that he was wrong, and wanted to kneel down immediately to plead guilty.
At this time, Prince An Le seemed to notice His Majesty's expression, and he immediately said with a smile: "The younger brother also agrees with the words of the prince of Xia Guo, there is an ancient saying 'If you are not extreme, you will come', and there is also a phoenix bathing in fire, and Nirvana is in the ashes, the words of this poem are extreme, and it is precisely in response to these truths, and it is also a wish that the queen mother will be like a phoenix nirvana after her birthday, if she is reborn, she will live without borders!"
Although the language of the temporary organization is a little chaotic, everyone understands the basic meaning, listening to the words of the prince, everyone sings loudly: "I wish the Queen Mother Phoenix Nirvana, and long life without borders!"
After such an embarrassing snort from Prince Anle, I thought that this matter would be over. However, the envoys of the Xia Kingdom still did not stop their son.
"Haha! Prince Anle is afraid that he has misunderstood the meaning of Zaixia! But it doesn't matter, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, the Song Kingdom established the country by force, in the past few decades, I have also heard a lot of rumors about the Song Kingdom in the Xia Kingdom, 'Seven Points Lin Bochang'! General Lin Jinchi of 'Tiger Father and No Dog'!"
Although this is talking about the "Tiger General List", it is actually some heart-wrenching arguments.
"There is also a self-made grandmaster, cultivated to the martial arts nine major vehicles Xu Tiansheng commander, etc.! It also makes me yearn for a good life, the younger generation is not talented, and it can be regarded as learning some fur kung fu, although I dare not dance the sword in front of the predecessors just mentioned, but I also want to compete for the young talents of the Song Kingdom! It can also be regarded as adding a wonderful birthday to the Empress Dowager of the Song Kingdom!"
In fact, the "cultural test" and "martial arts test" on the queen mother's birthday were originally planned to be held alone for a day, and the beautiful name was cultural and martial arts exchanges, after all, the banquet venue space was limited, and the people present were all big shots, and they couldn't fight, in case they accidentally injured people, it would be bad.
However, since the princes of the Xia Kingdom have spoken, then if the master does not accept it, won't he fall behind.
"Oh! I didn't expect that the prince of Xia Guo is also a person who practices martial arts, but on this banquet, how do you want to compare!"
His Majesty the Emperor was still calm, and did not take this provocative Xia Kingdom prince in his eyes.
"My Xia country is a son on horseback, and I like some fine wine and beautiful people on weekdays, and we have a game called 'Toast'. ”
As he spoke, Wang Chenghua took out the table and put it on the red carpet in the middle of the banquet, with a jar of wine and a wine glass in the middle.
"As long as you don't touch the glass and jug, pour the wine from the jug into the glass, you win, and the person who poured the wine drinks the wine and says, 'I'm served,' and it's over. If you don't pour it full, or if the wine is spilled, you lose. The competition is the competition between the two sides in the process of pouring wine, without direct contact with each other. ”
Everyone nodded slightly, which means that the process of competition is the process of pouring wine, and the opponent can intervene.
But this is a greater challenge for the person who pours the wine, and the person who wants to destroy it can completely use the true qi and internal force to interfere, and the person who pours the wine must not only control the true qi, but also resist the destruction of the person who pours the wine. No wonder it is said that after the wine is successfully poured, the person who was poured the wine wants to say "I take it" after drinking, which is not acceptable!
"I proposed this game, and I would like to be the backhand, so that the young talents of all countries will choose which side to choose!"
In this way, it is obvious that this world has the feeling of victory, or in fact, it is also a bit of an alternative to want to make the countries ugly.
As soon as the words of this prince came out, in fact, people from other countries didn't seem to be so anxious, for example, the prince of Chu State Xiang and the prince of the country seemed to be very indifferent, such as the prince of Liang State, who still did not change his profligate style. Although Wei is a big country, the current prince is not there, and he has not brought any strong young talents over, and the prince of Yan Pingnan is obviously waiting for the response of the Song State.
"Okay, so that you can compete here, but it won't be too vulgar and wild. ”
The Emperor gladly accepted the offer, glancing at the young talents around him as he spoke. Because of Lin Che's performance just now, the emperor didn't want him to solve this competition this time, and even his anger at him was still unresolved.
In fact, there are many young talents in the Song Kingdom, but the people who can come to the Son of Heaven banquet today are the backbone of the empire and the top magnates, and some people can't enter here. There are also eunuchs such as Ouchi and the military officials of the Imperial Division, and there are many masters among the young ones, but these people act in the dark all day long, and there is a yin in their bones, which is a group of people that the emperor does not want to use in such a scene.
"Han Hao, Lin Jue, the two of you are the same age as Shizi, you can accompany him to 'toast'. ”
As soon as the emperor Chrysostom opened, Han Hao and Lin Jue immediately saluted and received the order.
First of all, Lin Jue came to the wine table and politely greeted this prince, after all, they are all princes, that is, the etiquette of the host and guests.
"Oh! The grandson of Lin Bochang, King of Jingwu, and the son of Lin Jinchi of the Zhu Kingdom, my Xia Kingdom suffered a lot of losses from your ancestors back then, and my Xia Kingdom still uses Lin Bochang as a mantra to scare children. And General Lin Jinchi of the Chinese Army Zhuguo, I still think that he should be the first general of the Song State!"
Although this prince of Wang Chenghua seems to be in the Quarin family, this remark reveals a burst of ill will, which gives Lin Jinchi a first general of the Song Kingdom, and what about the other pillar states? Especially what about Han Zhaoyuan, who broke the Xia Kingdom? Including the "Seven Points Lin Bochang" just said, this market rumor is almost unheard in the capital of the Song Kingdom, but he took it to this Tianzi banquet, and the words and swords seem to be the most appropriate adjectives for him.
"It is really an honor for my Wang Chenghua to compete with the descendants of the strongest people in the Song Kingdom today!"
Lin Jue didn't have any change in his expression, but said lightly: "Wang Chenghua's son has won the award, and his ancestors inherited the national fortune of the Great Song Dynasty, expanded the territory for the country, and received the grace of the Son of Heaven to strengthen the frontier and defend the frontier." I only want the world to be peaceful, the people to live in peace, and I have never hung up on the merits and disgrace, I am shallow in learning, and my martial arts are negligent, not as good as my brother, in case, I am afraid that I will disappoint the son. ”
This Lin Jue obviously wants to get rid of all the heart-damaging theories of Wang Chenghua just now, and the "seven-point Lin Bochang" is just inheriting the national fortune of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is also the duty of the courtiers.
Many princes and ministers nodded with great satisfaction when they heard this, and of course a small number of them were a little disappointed, after all, they wished that the Lin family was on the cusp.
When Wang Chenghua heard this, the brother Lin Jue said made him a little concerned.
"Oh, Lin Jue's brother, since he is better than you in martial arts, and he is your brother, why is the position of the prince yours?"
As soon as these words came out, it made the camp of the Song Kingdom a little embarrassed, although the answer was obvious, it was not easy to expose it at once, because the eldest son was a concubine.
"Since ancient times, the great position has been inhabited by the capable, but think about King Jingwu and Lin Jinchi Zhuguo, I think this is the tradition of your Song Kingdom!
This sentence simply made some courtiers jump up, thinking how could this barbarian of the Xia Kingdom be so rude, but this Wang Chenghua is smart, and he doesn't pause at all, and after finishing speaking, he directly asks Lin Jue to compete, and I will not give you a chance to refute it.
It stands to reason that choosing the defender is an advantage, but when Wang Chenghua said this, it made others embarrassed to defend the side, and it may be a strategy within his calculations.
"Please!"
