Chapter 154 begins

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 ...... But this person, that night's words were resolute, and now in less than three years of hard work, this person has reached this point, and his temperament has changed a lot, and the indifferent and sharp-edged young man who was indifferent that day was vaguely left with only a shadow, and it was a fierce general like Du Shanhu who bowed down in front of him. If this person still remembers the grievances of the year, and the young lady does not forget his kindness, it will inevitably end up in a desolate place in the future, alas, this thing is really difficult to do.

After thinking about it, I already saw my own young lady looking over from a distance. He quickly took two steps and came closer.

"What's going on over there? Why did you gather so many people? ”

When Li Shu saw her ask, his lips squirmed, he looked away, and finally said, "It's nothing, a few people just had a quarrel." ”

Seeing that Li Jinhua turned his face away and didn't care, he was relieved here. But she also sighed secretly, Miss often encouraged herself with Xianghou back then, don't really take the old road of Xianghou, be single and old, and be lonely and lonely all your life. If that's the case, what's the use of a lifetime of glory and wealth?

Not to mention Li Shu's thoughts before and after, Zhao Shi experienced a quarrel a few times, but his interest was undiminished. Although Du Shanhu's clothes were tattered, his face was red as if he had won the champion, and he straightened his chest as if showing off, but when he saw a few women who were not like the girl's family pointing here and giggling, the old face was still red, and he grabbed Wang Hu, and wanted to change clothes with the other party, Wang Hu went to Jingwangfu from Gongyi County. I have been eaten to death by this fierce guy, and I was forced to take off my coat in desperation, but my face was so red that I could drip blood.

Li Quanshou has just experienced a bustle, although he has nothing to do, but he is happy to win others, as for what the Li family is, he doesn't care so much. At this time, he held his small chest up. While happily said: "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...... Hee-hee......"

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?" But the brigade commander is also right, 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 it casually, and no one took it seriously, but who could guess what a child was thinking? 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 are stepping on the ground, shaking the ground is not only the surface, the human heart also seems to be trembling, this kind of power Zhao Shi is also the first time to see, ten thousand horses galloping, swords and guns dazzling, Zhao Shi secretly awe-inspiring in his heart, this is the cavalry, that is, the honor guard around the emperor, it is said that these people have been on the battlefield should be very few, but the power is already so, if those Mongolian iron horses who don't know where to come, it may not be what it looks 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 big, although they are galloping on horseback, 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 them." ”

The crowd immediately parted like a wave, making way for the road leading to the high platform in the middle, and Zhao Shi and the others also moved slowly in the crowd.

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 riding horses, does that need to be said? ”

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 Xuanjia knights who had been like the front to open the way, with their swords held in front of their chests. Then there was another team of Yulin guards, under the shouts of the officers, slowly walked over, looking at the military uniforms of these people, the youngest was also a military attache from the seventh rank.

After the Yulin guards, there was a team of strong men, holding the golden melon and silver hammer in their hands, Zhao Shi knew. These people are the sergeants on duty in front of the palace, and they belong to Yulinwei.

Then there was a group of palace people, holding high the Huangluo umbrella cover, the instrument belt fluttering, followed by the emperor's royal bowl, how many horses pulled Zhao Shi did not see clearly, think that such a big car must have more than ten healthy horses, right?

The Imperial Pavilion was surrounded by a circle of Feather Forest Guards, and the clothes of these guards were completely different from the previous ones. It is a deep red color. Zhao Shi couldn't see the pattern in the front of the heart clearly, but these people were all strong. His expression was fierce, but Zhao Shi knew that this was the elite of Yulin Weizhong.

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 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, it was inevitable that the palace maids and eunuchs who served would not be comparable to these few people......

Those officials with fluttering clothes and solemn expressions slowly walked through 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 aura, a pair of shining eyes turned, and the majesty appeared.

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 hair was already gray, his eyes were slightly narrowed, but there was a smell of exhaustion, there were two women with fans standing behind him, and there was an old eunuch standing beside him. It's just that it's all pale yellow in color, this is the current Great Qin Emperor, Emperor Zhengde, right? Zhao Shi thought to himself.

The royal horse drove through the passage, although the people in front of him had eaten a lot of dust, but their expressions were excited, like the official rank of these people, 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. Some people are already thinking about how to show off to others when 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 on the yellow silk floor, and the others took their seats in turn.

Emperor Zhengde waved his hand, and an official from the Ministry of Rites stepped forward to the stage, first saluted Emperor Zhengde, and then turned sideways and waved to the audience. At this time, the sound of the mountain crying long live gradually stopped.

Just like there is an event in the later generations, there must always be a leader's speech, the Ministry of Rites has already prepared a complicated and complicated opening statement, and 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. Soon after announcing the official start of the martial arts, they all left.

The first day was a competition in archery, and as mentioned earlier, those who hit the ground with eight arrows were selected. There are as many as 1,486 people from all over the country, and it is naturally not possible to go forward to test them one by one, but it also consumes manpower if there are too many venues, so there are a total of six venues, and those who read their names and surnames enter the venues 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, and Zhao Shi also wanted to see how strong these people were. Qi Ziping has already reported the names of several people to him, three of these people are from the Yanzhou Town Army, two are the Tongguan garrison, all of them are junior officers who have been in battle for a long time, and a few are from the border villages at the junction of Daqin and Xixia. It's hard to say what's going on in terms of strength. A few people stayed and watched, and watched it for a while. Among the ten, there are seven or eight easy to pass the guò arrow test, 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 watching a lively, but in Zhao Shi's eyes, he also secretly sighs that this era is a folk style and martial arts, and only this archery can be seen......

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 narrator 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 is not much fancy, look at his body when riding a horse but always involuntarily swaying from side to side, this is the kung fu of avoiding 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 understood, when it came 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 formation, 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 the luck of each person, 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 turned to another shooting test site, 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 about this, but Du Shanhu laughed and didn't answer, letting him break his head, he didn't know what was ...... secret.
