Li Shu walked in the crowd, his mind was surging, this was the second time he had seen that young man after the battle of Qingyang Mansion, this person gave him a somewhat complicated feeling, and his mind was even more difficult to speculate, especially the change in the identity of this person, it was simply a one-time appearance, this person has now entered King Jing's Mansion, and he has also been the head of the guard, thinking that he is already one of King Jing's closest people, right?
Thinking of this, my heart is also a pang, the battle of Qingyang, the Li family is very inauthentic, and the matter of taking credit from people is not without it in the Great Qin Army, like those generals, who are stubborn and stubborn, and who take the lead in the battle formation are only a few after all, so where does the credit come from? When discussing merit, the general should be the first to take the credit, so in fact, it is to take the credit of his subordinates, and sometimes the subordinates will also hand over part of their own gains, as the main general's merit, which is not uncommon in the army.
But in the battle of Qingyang, this young man has repeatedly come up with strange tricks, not only saved everyone's lives, but also built a miraculous feat, the first merit should be undisputed, if it weren't for the prince in the middle, this person was already a general at this time, right?
I have already said it thoroughly that day, although what Miss did was wrong, it was not ruthless, and then I saw that Miss's mind was also ...... Through determination, now in less than three years, this person has reached this point. Look at that kind of temperament has also changed a lot, that day, the indifferent and silent, sharp young man is vaguely only a shadow left, that is, Du Shanhu is a fierce general in front of him is bowed to his ears, only obeying the look, really good ability, if this person still remembers the grievances of the year, Miss there will never forget his kindness. It will inevitably end up in a bleak future in the future. Alas. It's a really hard thing to do.
After thinking about it, I already saw my young lady looking over from a distance, and quickly took two steps to get closer.
"What's going on over there? Why did you gather so many people? ”
Seeing her ask, Li Shu's lips squirmed, he looked away, and finally said, "It's nothing." A few people got into a verbal altercation. ”
Seeing that Li Jinhua turned his face and didn't care, he was relieved here, but he also sighed secretly, Miss often encouraged herself with Xianghou back then, don't really take the old road of Xianghou, be single and old age, and be lonely and lonely all your life. If that's the case. What is the use of a lifetime of glory and wealth?
Not to mention Li Shu's thoughts, Zhao Shi experienced a quarrel, but his interest was undiminished. Although Du Shanhu's clothes are tattered, this look is as if he has won the champion, and he straightens his chest as if he is showing off, but when he sees a few women who are not like the girl's family pointing here and giggling, this old face is still red, and he grabbed Wang Hu, and he wants to change clothes with the other party, Wang Hu has been eaten to death by this fierce guy since Gongyi County arrived in Jingwangfu, and he was forced to take off his shirt in desperation, but his face was red and could drip blood.
Li Quanshou has just gone through a lively scene, although he has nothing to do, but he is happy to win the fight, as for the Li family, he doesn't care so much, at this time, while holding up his small chest, he said happily: "I said Lao Du, you are the most fierce on weekdays, why didn't you go up and beat that little white face just now......
Thinking of being called by someone with a little white face, and then he walked away with his tail between his legs, and couldn't help but breathe with laughter.
Du Shanhu smiled, and glanced at Zhao Shi with his eyes, "These guys really don't need to be cleaned up, but the brigade commander won't let them, what can our family do?" However, the brigade commander is also on the ground, and there are so many people in the folded family, if you come to fight one by one, you can't exhaust Lao Du to death? He slapped Zhao Shi a little bit here.
Over there, Li Quanshou straightened his waist and said: "Also, there are too many people in the folding family, if you can cut a few more, you won't be tired." He said this casually, and no one took it seriously, but who can guess the mind of a child? At this time, it was a joke, but it planted a seed in his young heart, but in the future, it really planted a bane for the folding family, this is a later story, and I will not mention it here for the time being.
As he spoke, the surface suddenly trembled, and a low thunderous sound rolled in from far and near, some of them still didn't know why, but among the people present, there were those who had passed through the battle formation, but their expressions suddenly tightened, and they looked around......
Du Shanhu also whispered at this time, "Cavalry." There was a look of anxiety on his face.
Zhao Shi waved his hand, "Maybe the emperor has arrived, there's nothing to be nervous about." ”
The sound became louder and louder, a black line emerged in the distance, the yellow dragon flag waved in the wind, and the crowd suddenly quieted down, although there were still several miles away, but the pressure seemed to have been transmitted, and the pressure was overwhelming, and there was no one who spoke loudly.
The iron horse is like a stream, rolling forward, the low hooves of the horse stepping on the ground, shaking not only the surface, but also the human heart seems to be trembling, this kind of power Zhao Shi is also the first
, Ten thousand horses galloping, swords and guns dazzling, Zhao Shi secretly awe-inspiring in his heart, this is the honor guard around the emperor, it is said that there should be very few of these people who have been on the battlefield, but the power is already like this, if you get those Mongolian iron horsemen who don't know where they are, it may not be what it will look like......
Between thoughts, the cavalry is getting closer and closer, and the appearance is becoming clearer and clearer, the armor is mainly dark, but the cloak is red and dark, these cavalry are tall and large, although they are galloping horses, but the formation is always the same.
Coming to the front, the sound of orders was endless, and the whole team immediately slowed down, and then divided into two teams, and began to deploy around the middle field, and several small schools with flags on their backs rushed out, and then dispersed, shouting around the field, "The emperor is coming, everyone is standing on both sides, ready to meet him." ”
The crowd immediately parted like a wave, making way for the middle road leading to the high platform. Zhao Shi and the others were also caught in the crowd and moved slowly.
Li Quanshou jumped to his feet, but he was short, but he couldn't see the situation outside, and his mouth couldn't help pursing, but in an instant, he grabbed Du Shanhu and said: "Old Du, let me make a bet with you, do you say that my father came by horseback or by sedan chair?" ”
Du Shanhu smiled. "Who doesn't know that the prince is still martial. Always on horseback. Needless to say? ”
Li Quanshou's little face raised slightly, and he said proudly: "I bet that my father came here in a sedan chair, if you lose, you have to lift me up for a while, otherwise I won't see anything, how about it?" ”
As soon as Du Shanhu heard him say this, he knew that he had fallen into the other party's trap. This is the first time he has participated in this martial arts, so he is naturally not as familiar with this little prince who grew up in Beijing, although he thought so in his heart, but his mouth replied happily, "Cheng, I bet on this." But he didn't mention what he would have gained if he had won.
After another quarter of an hour, I saw a huge procession coming, first a group of knights in armor like before, opening the way in front. The ceremonial knife in his hand is held in front of his chest. Then another group of Yulin guards, under the shouts of the officers, walked slowly. Looking at the military uniforms of these people, the youngest is also a military attache from the seventh grade.
After the Yulin guards, there was a team of strong men, holding gold melons and silver hammers in their hands, Zhao Shi knew that these people were the soldiers on duty in front of the palace, and they belonged to the Yulin guards.
Then there is a group of palace people, holding high the Huangluo umbrella cover, the instrument belt fluttering, followed by the emperor's imperial palace, how many horses pull Zhao Shi did not see clearly, think that such a big car must have more than ten healthy horses enough, right?
There is a circle of Yulin guards around the royal bowl, these guards' clothes are completely different from the previous ones, they are dark red color, and the pattern in the front heart Zhao Shi can't see clearly, but these people are all strong and strong, but Zhao Shi knows that this is the elite of the Yulin guard.
Around the royal court, there is a group of court officials on horseback, the color of the clothes from light to dark, the closer to the royal bowl, the higher the official rank.
As for other things, Zhao Shi didn't have time to look at it again, after the royal bowl appeared, the people present immediately hugged and knelt down, although it was not neat, but later, there was no one standing on the ground in the field, and the voice was not small, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." There was no pause, and the more he shouted, the more neat it became, and later, it was as if it came from the mouth of a man.
Even a person like Zhao Shi felt a kind of majesty created by the environment and various factors of the crowd, which made people a little breathless, but he didn't know that this martial arts, the emperor's reliance and other things were simple, if the emperor really went out on patrol, clear water paved the streets, and drum music opened the way is inevitable, but the palace maids and eunuchs who serve are not comparable to these few people......
Those officials with fluttering clothes and solemn expressions slowly walked through the middle of the crowd, and the royal bowl was even more condescending, Zhao Shi peeked over, but there were several people on top of the royal bowl, King Jing was among them, a long place and King Jing had seven or eight points similar to the estimate is not the prince, and it is almost the same, there is a young man standing behind this person, in his twenties, with a respectful expression, Zhao Shi glanced at Li Quanshou beside him, and thought to himself, this estimated identity should be similar to Li Quanshou, right?
There are two old men in the royal court, both of them have white beards and hair, one is tall and looks a little hideous, and his face is scarred, it is estimated that he was a handsome person when he was young, with such a face, he will also reveal a little fierce atmosphere, a pair of shining eyes turn around, and the majesty appears.
Wearing a purple robe, a gold and jade belt, a goldfish bag around his waist, and a jade hook, he still carried a horizontal knife with him, but he didn't care about it, but this royal knife already showed that this old man had reached the point of being a very human minister.
The other old man has a clear face, a long figure, and a purple robe, which is the same as the majestic old man, and the accessories are basically the same, but there is a complicated pattern tattooed on the chest, which is too far away, and Zhao Shi did not look closely.
The middle person sat on the seat, his face was a little pale, his beard was already gray, his eyes were slightly narrowed, but there was a smell of exhaustion, and there were two women with fans standing behind him, and there was an old eunuch standing beside him
What did he say to the person next to him, the clothes on his body were very crowned, and the clothes on his body were all pale yellow in color, this is the current Emperor of Great Qin, Emperor Zhengde, right? Zhao Shi thought to himself.
The royal bowl drove through the passage. Although the people in front of them have eaten a lot of dust, they are excited, like them, most people may not be able to see the emperor once in their lives, and they can feel the majesty of the heavenly family so closely, and some people are already thinking about how to show off to others after they go back.
When the group reached the bottom of the high platform, more than a dozen officials climbed the stairs according to their ranks, until Emperor Zhengde sat down on the chair covered with yellow silk. The others waited before they took their seats.
Emperor Zhengde waved his hand. An official from the Ministry of Rites stepped forward. first saluted Emperor Zhengde, then turned sideways and waved to the audience, and then the sound of long live the mountain gradually stopped.
Just as there is an event in the later generations, there must always be a leader's speech, and the Ministry of Rites has already prepared a complicated opening statement, in the tone of the officials of the Ministry of Rites in the tone of yin and yang. The martial arts can be regarded as the prelude.
Emperor Zhengde and the civil and military officials did not stay here for long, and soon after announcing the official start of the martial arts, they all left on their own.
The first day is a competition of archery, as mentioned earlier, those who hit the ground with eight arrows can be selected, and there are as many as 1,486 people from all over the world. So there are a total of six venues. Those who read their names and surnames enter the venue for examination, and the military department has officials present to supervise and record.
This archery competition didn't have anything to do with Zhao Shi, but Du Shanhu was among them. Zhao Shi also wanted to see how strong these people were, Qi Ziping had already reported the names of several people to him, three of these people were from the Yanzhou Town Army, and two were from the Tongguan garrison, all of whom were junior officers who had been in battle for a long time, and a few of them were rushed over from the border villages at the junction of Daqin and Xixia, and they were not weak. Among the ten, there are seven or eight easy guò arrow tests, although the bows used are soft bows with two stones and three stones, and there are also those who bring their own bows and arrows, Wang Hu naturally has nothing, and Li Quanshou is just a lively look, but in Zhao Shi's eyes, he also secretly sighs that this era is a folk style and martial arts, and it can be seen only in this archery......
Du Shanhu's name is in the forefront, and it is easy for him to hit the target with eight arrows, and there is no suspense after passing this level, and then he accompanied Zhao Shi to take a look, seeing that Zhao Shi did not understand many things, so he played the role of interpreter next to Zhao Shi.
At this time, he pointed to a person in the field: "This person should be a scout, not known for his bravery, riding skills are also focused on strength, there are not many fancies, look at his body when riding a horse but always involuntarily shake left and right, this is the kung fu to avoid arrows, but this person came to participate in the competition in vain, that is, he can pass this level, and he can see the duel later, it is estimated that this person is also in the last level to make a foil for others." ”
The meaning of his words Zhao Shi also understands that when it comes to the last level, there must be more people from the same place to cooperate and support, although the military department has also taken some precautions against these fraudulent things, but since ancient times, when there is an exam, there must always be a fluke.
But I heard Du Shanhu continue: "Look at this guy again, the body is attached to the horse, and he almost squeezed into the horse's body, and at a glance, he knows that it is the role of the rushing battle, and the other party's arrow rain arrives, so that he can ensure his safety to the greatest extent, but most of them are still based on everyone's luck, but in this case, the person who can shoot arrows must be an old soldier in the army, and he must also be a perennial practice, it is estimated that if you let him sit up straight, he will not be able to shoot accurately......"
After a while, everyone moved to another shooting test venue, but here they all shot arrows step down, and changed the appearance of three people, until the fourth, Du Shanhu frowned and showed a little dignified color: "This person has steady steps, strong arm strength, but his archery skills are rough, and the next level should be a strong opponent." As he spoke, the man's last arrow really missed the target, but the man didn't care, shook his head, and walked out of the field.
While watching, while listening to Du Shanhu's explanation, Wang Hu also felt that he had seen a lot, and he secretly admired it in his heart, sure enough, it was from the battle array, and nothing else was enough, only the things in this military formation knew much more than him, and it seemed that he would have to ask him for advice in the future, but he never understood that Du Shanhu was originally a lieutenant of the imperial army, how could he be a good official, but he was willing to be a soldier under Zhao Shi? Although it seems to be a wise choice now, but a few years ago, how old was this young man, how could such a fierce general be willing to be driven by his son?
He asked many times for the reason, but Du Shanhu laughed and didn't answer, let him think about it himself, and he didn't know the hidden meaning......
