Chapter 242: Frustrated

Since the founding of the dynasty, Dahua has a tradition of forming a team and swinging and hitting the ball. If it was in the early years, the emperor would have led a group of ministers by himself, and then ordered Luo Zhaorong to bring the palace maids as a team, and the two sides would have fun winning or losing. But since he got older, this kind of drama has been decreasing year by year, this time it is not only for Empress Zhu's birthday, but also for the gathering of hundreds of officials, so it is naturally more grand, so he can't do such a show. Because it was a temporary idea, the manpower was not decided in advance, so the children of all the clans, all the military generals and ministers, were ready to wait for the call.

The emperor swam around the field, and where the whip was pointed, someone knelt down and was ordered. But after running down this lap and rounding the participants, everyone gasped in unison - the six princes who were still alive and who stayed in Shangjing were actually ordered three! The first person to bear the brunt was King Kang, and once again the third son of the emperor, King Huan, and the fifth son of the emperor, King Shou. Next, there are the sixth son of King He, An Liu, and King Kang, Zhang Yicheng. Among the ministers of civil and military affairs, there are Feng Zhang, the general of the right guard, Wu Dai, the general of the town army, Zhan Wenfang, the secretary of the ministry, and Guo Renzhangdao, the head of the household department. Including the emperor himself, there are no more, no less, just twelve people, which is the specification of the double goal game.

When everyone saw such a formation, they couldn't guess what kind of medicine the emperor was selling, and they thought that he would form a team of relatives and friends of three generations to fight against the team of civil and military ministers to show his prestige, but who knew that he would draw lots and combine them at will. After a while, King Kang's father and son were teammates with Feng Zhang, Wu Dai and others, while King Huan, King Shou, An Liu and others were on a team with the old emperor. Such an arrangement may seem providential, but the message contained in it is too complex and dangerous. Some people are suspicious that they have not been selected. There are also people who are worried about being chosen.

The princess's face changed slightly, the golden steps on her head swayed endlessly, Princess Kang looked ahead calmly, grabbed her hand nearby, the green tendons on her hand exploded, and the princess sighed softly. The golden step on his head finally stopped trembling.

The old emperor wants to play the ticket, even if it is secret, but it is impossible for the people around him. For example, a simple question or concern for a horse may be recognized. Brother Xu Ying thought of the advice of the previous princess, and guessed that at least Empress Zhu and King Kang's mansion were mentally prepared for the old emperor to play polo, but they probably didn't expect it to be such a scene. She didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse, so she could only mobilize the senses of her whole body, see and hear in all directions.

I don't know if it's too hot or too stressful, there are still so many people on the whole polo field, but no one dares to laugh", the latest chapter is:". No one dared to speak out. Brother Xu Ying saw it. Everyone outside the field, from Empress Zhu to the families of the ministers, and then to the participants on the field, everyone was solemn, but the old emperor was still as arrogant as before: "Take out your strength to eat milk!" I'll pump whoever is lazy! ”

The beat of the drum sounded like a storm, and everyone was lost, and a ball the size of a fist flew into the center like a meteor, and I don't know who it was like a beast screamed, and all the horses moved in unison in an instant, and there was chaos. Brother Xu Ying could only see the old emperor's ochre-yellow robe flashing with King Kang's purple robe. Wang grabbed Brother Xu Ying's hand, his palms were full of cold sweat, Brother Xu Ying held her hand back, and he was also soaked in sweat.

Playing polo is not a dinner party, every swing, every scramble before the competition, is a test for the participants, let alone the old emperor and the golden noble. Luo Zhaorong's face was pale, the Buddha beads in Liu Zhaoyi's hand were turning faster and faster, Empress Zhu was very quiet, and her face was hidden in the shadows, making it difficult to see.

Brother Xu Ying thought that Empress Zhu's heart was probably very uncomfortable, "Come: watch popular romance on the Internet".

There was a sudden exclamation on the field, and when Brother Xu Ying raised his eyes to look, he couldn't help but tremble. The old emperor's horse, straight towards the king of Kang who was leaning over to swing the ball, the men and horses were about to collide, King Kang was too late, if he wanted to take care of the old emperor, he had to completely explain himself to the old emperor, if he ignored, he would definitely startle the old emperor's horse. It's just amazing, it's not amazing. If it was a young and strong person who was proficient in equestrianism, it would not cause much harm this time, but it was the old emperor who was right away, the unpredictable old emperor. He may not want the old emperor to have an accident, but the old emperor doesn't necessarily want him to have an accident like this. Advance is life or death, and retreat is death or life.

It was just a moment of effort, Brother Xu Ying felt that she had passed thousands of rivers and mountains, she instinctively didn't want to look, but she couldn't move her eyes. I don't know if it was out of emergency instinct, her eyesight was suddenly many times more accurate, she could even see the expressions of everyone on the field clearly, she saw that at that moment, far away, how could not catch up with King Kang's son Zhang Yicheng closed his eyes in despair, she saw the eyes of the third prince Huan Wang flashed with light and excitement, and also saw the helplessness on the face of the fifth prince Shouwang, An Liu, who was expressionless and cold-eyed, and Wu Dai, who had a gloomy face and slapped the horse and galloped past, as well as the rest of the people were at a loss.

Then she saw that the staff in King Kang's hand fell to the ground, and the old emperor's horse passed by King Kang, who was still hanging on half of his body, and then the pale King Kang quickly turned over and sat upright, and the old emperor stood on the horse, looking at King Kang silently, King Kang raised his eyes, and looked back at his father in silence. At this time, Wu Dai's horse had only run a few steps away, Feng Zhang, the general of the right guard, had just turned his horse's head, and Zhang Yicheng's eyes had only just opened.

But after a blink of an eye, the old emperor turned around, swung his staff and snatched the ball, which was struck out in a beautiful arc and flew neatly and accurately into the goal. "Dang" sounded, the gong scored, the audience cheered thunderously, and the sound of long live was endless, and the old emperor finally came out on top beautifully.

Brother Xu Ying's tense nerves finally relaxed for a moment, and she cheered loudly with Wang and others, "Long live", but she didn't know whether she had escaped for King Kang or for the whole world to celebrate. Princess Kang, who couldn't help but stand up and look at her, was weak, and she relied on the support of the princess and Princess Changle to stand firmly. A "long live" shouted out, tears welling up in his eyes.

Everyone thought that the old emperor would continue, but the old emperor simply threw the cane neatly, and walked straight towards the viewing platform, and the rest of the people stopped, staring blankly at the lonely walk towards the viewing platform, not knowing what to do next. Only An Liuyi calmly ran over and picked up the cane that Kang Wang Shicai threw on the ground, and served it with both hands.

The old emperor stood under the stage and looked up, there was a commotion in the stands, and Luo Zhaorong shouted delicately: "The saint is mighty!" The majesty of the year is not diminished! The old emperor turned a deaf ear, still maintaining the posture of looking up just now, Empress Zhu slowly stood up, the old emperor jumped off his horse and walked towards her, and then smiled at her.

The music stopped at some point, and everyone on the field dismounted and stood beside the horses and looked up. The people watching the game from a distance looked at the prime minister, and the people near didn't dare to blink their eyes, for fear of missing it.

The emperor and queen gathered on the high platform, and the old emperor carefully arranged the beads hanging from the phoenix crown for Empress Zhu. Then, he took Empress Zhu's hand, stood side by side with her, turned to face everyone in the audience, and said: "I, born in the countryside, was originally a rude and reckless person, but fortunately I met the Zhu family, virtuous and virtuous, as bright as the moon, worthy of match...... There is a son who is pure and filial piety, loyal and brave, both civil and military, and has a feminine temperament and sensitive ......"

The Buddha beads in Liu Zhaoyi's hand turned faster and faster, Luo Zhaorong's eyes opened wider and wider, Princess He's face was like ashes, and King Xuan and King Fu lowered their eyes and did not move. Although no one knows what happened between the father and son at the moment when the man and horse collided just now, everyone knows that the emperor is in a very good mood at the moment, so what happened just now is a blessing or a curse for King Kang's mansion.

Wang Shi grabbed Brother Xu Ying's hand tightly, his eyes bloomed with brilliance, and he tried his best to lower his voice and said: "You heard what Xiao San said, the battle on the front line is very weak...... so this indicates that King He has further lost his competitiveness.

This may be seen as some kind of precursor, or some kind of foreshadowing. Some people are happy to see it, and some people are not happy to see it. Therefore, after the old emperor said a lot of beautiful words to Empress Zhu and rewarded countless gold, silver, pearls, and treasures, this joyous banquet was interrupted by a sharp shout.

Someone roared in the distance: "I want to see the Holy One!" I want to see the Holy One! You filthy villains, you will not be enough to compensate for delaying the lives of the military planes! ”

The voice was so sharp that even the congratulatory voices on the field never drowned out, and the emperor turned his head unhappily, hating this person who ruined the atmosphere and mood. However, he didn't want to be the king of the dead country after all, so the man who roared the audience in the costume of a seven-rank petty official was finally led in front of him.

Brother Xu Ying vaguely heard someone behind him whispering, "It's a pity." But when she looked back, she saw only a row of women with the same expressions, all with smiles on their lips, looking ahead, quiet, gentle and amiable.

"Defeated! We are defeated! Linzhou, Qianzhou, and Fengzhou were all taken by the Western Jin Dynasty! The petty official in the seven-grade costume knelt in front of the emperor and wept bitterly, like a mourner.

With a loud bang, the old emperor overturned the cases in front of him, pointed at Liu Zhaoyi, and then turned his head to point to the sons lined up below, gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, he only clenched the armrest of the dragon chair hard, and turned his eyes to look at Queen Zhu, a pair of blood-red eyes couldn't be bigger, and hissed: "They don't want me to have a good time!" ”

Empress Zhu stood up vigorously, looked around at the palace concubines and ministers, and said sharply: "Military affairs, non-important ministers of the court and the central government are not allowed to hear about it!" What are you still standing here?! ”
