Chapter 165: Thoughts

In Chang'an City, every household has put up lights, every household is colorful, as for the sprinkling and sweeping of the streets, it has been done a few days ago, and even some people will put a Kanzi next to the street, burn incense to wish, and the New Year is similar.

But there is also a reason, if there are two New Year's every year, it is estimated that no one can stand it, this year the Zhengde Emperor is reigning for 29 years, the Zhengde Emperor ascended the throne at the age of 30, and now he is 59 years old.

At this time of year, the imperial court will conduct martial arts exercises in the imperial city, but this year it is different, the martial arts are personally judged by the current saint, and the martial arts show is also changed to the hunting ground in the east of the city, in previous years, it is rare for ordinary people to see martial arts, and the imperial city is not where everyone can enter, but now it seems that they can still feast their eyes, and when Zhao Shi and others come to the street, there are already a lot of people, and the people help the old and the young, among which from time to time you can also see a few shiny and beautiful women walking around, which is really lively.

Following the flow of people out of Chang'an City, within a few miles, the flow of people was blocked, and some sergeants wearing brand-new military uniforms lined up with troops to stop the crowd head-on, like the tide hitting a reef, and the endless flow of people spread out on both sides.

Seeing a few people coming on horseback, a man who looked like an officer came out in line, looked at everyone a few times, but his eyes lit up, and before everyone could identify themselves, he laughed to himself first, and bowed to Zhao Shima when he came to salute, "Does Lord Zhao still know Yang Sheng?" ”

Zhao Shi has an excellent memory, and he remembered it when he saw this person, at this time, he already knew a lot about his feelings, so he immediately turned over and got off the horse, hugged his fists and said: "It turned out that Lord Yang was here, and he was able to go up to the city wall to see the beautiful scenery of Chang'an that day." I haven't thanked Lord Yang yet, so I'll invite you out for a drink another day. ”

His words were quite straightforward, and he was also very much in line with the appetite of these military men, and sure enough, Yang Sheng was overjoyed when he heard it, and said with a smile: "It's still Lord Zhao's refreshment, and he doesn't dare to ask for it, so he should listen to the invitation of the adults." "Speaking of which. He bowed and bowed.

Then he waved his hand back, and his soldiers immediately moved out of the way, "Where is the competent department, I can't talk to you in detail, we will meet again another day, my lordship, please." ”

Zhao Shi didn't say much, arched his hand at him, got on the horse and continued to move forward with everyone.

"Who is this man? My lord. There are a lot of ministers here today, if we let them all go like this, I'm afraid it's a little unreasonable, and now King Jing is keeping an eye on it, don't patronize the friendship. It's like Li Yanlu......" Yang Sheng whispered beside him.

Yang Sheng gave him a slap when he returned his hand, and scolded with a smile: "You rabbit cub has a crow's mouth, Lao Tzu knows it in his heart, the person who just passed over is the head of the Jingwang Mansion guard." If you want to win the champion of martial arts, what can be worse? ”

The man gasped, "It turned out to be the tiger cub, it doesn't look old, and it's ordinary, how can I hear that this person can be able to dominate the sky with one hand, and when he stomps on his feet, the ground trembles?" It's like a monster......"

"Fart. That's an immortal, what kind of martial champion are you here to take? Okay, don't chirp with me here, so that the brothers are awake, you kid is right, His Royal Highness King Jing is not easy to fool there, if he lets his people see us here and scratch their teeth, maybe they will get us to Dali Temple to clean up. ”

"You can rest assured. The brothers know this in their hearts. Even if he saw the purple robe today, he had to verify his body before letting him pass. But...... My lord, you haven't said it yet, how do you know the head of the guards of King Jing's Mansion? And invite you to drink, and don't forget the brothers. ”

Yang Sheng listened to it and turned his head, "Get out, just like you, don't you have to say that I have no way to do it?" But wine must be indispensable to your ......" Although he said so, the man's words were scratching his itch, his face showed a little smugness, and he added a sentence in his heart, this errand is done, it is time to move upside down, move a place, and it is not a long-term solution to watch people all day long.

Besides, Zhao Shi traveled more than half a mile away, and it was a temporary checkpoint, so like this, he passed several roads in a row, which can be described as layers of sanitation and heavy guards.

The fences and other things built during the martial arts have been removed, and most of the animals that were driven to one place in the hunting ground have also been released, and it is the time when the grass is high in autumn, and occasionally you can see the deer and hares running back and forth not far away, which makes this hunting ground a little more vibrant.

The more you go inside, the more the crowd increases, in addition to the soldiers who go back and forth to guard the guards, there are also wandering around, and some officials of various ministries hurriedly walk by, the sound of the herald is endless, but these have nothing to do with Zhao Shi and others, at the last checkpoint, there are already a few people from the Ministry of Rites waiting there, hearing Zhao Shidi's name, and after checking the certificate, he took them slowly forward, and told Zhao Shi the procedure of the martial arts to Zhao Shi and them clearly, this person is afraid that it is not clear enough, I didn't stop talking along the way, which can be described as earnest and full of advice.

First of all, the martial arts, followed by the martial arts decisive victory, in the evening, trust Wu Zhuangyuan and a cadre of martial arts warriors to enter the palace to participate in the birthday feast, while accepting the emperor's decree official seal, speaking of these, this military department of the small official is full of envy, this time because the martial arts is the emperor's personal trial, so it is very different from previous years, these Zhengde 59 years of martial arts champion Wu Jinshi can be said to be the protégé of the Son of Heaven, a hundred years of encounter, indeed enviable.

Zhao Shi didn't care about this, tonight's battle could really be said to be a matter of life and death, he and Qin Kejian thought about it the same, it didn't matter who he killed, he wouldn't be naïve enough to find any reason why he had to kill this person, this person was from the prince's land, and the order was given by King Jing, which was enough, but he hadn't seen Qin Kejian himself so far, and there was too little information, but it made him feel a little less sure in his heart.

These naturally can't be said to others, while thinking about countermeasures, while listening to the nagging of the person next to him, his expression seems to be a little unbelievable, and the little official doesn't care, in his mind, whoever hears it wants to meet Jun Yan. I have to be stupid for a while, plus the person in front of me is not a martial champion, today's competition is a major event related to the future future, although now Yulin Zuowei is unlucky to go home, and all the people are staying in the prison of the Criminal Department, but obediently, the deputy commander, is it not a step to the sky? There are distractions. Naturally, I couldn't listen to my own words.

Du Shanhu has been with Zhao Shi for the longest time, and he knows Zhao Shi the most, seeing him like this, it is somewhat strange, even if he made such a great contribution during the Qingyang Mutiny, he didn't see any difference between him and ordinary days, and a martial champion would naturally not bother so much, isn't it...... Come to think of it. The expression on Du Shanhu's face was a little strange, because he thought of what Li Quanshou secretly said to him in the morning.

Although this little prince is young, he knows a lot of things, and he has a habit of not being able to tell whether it is good or bad, and he doesn't want to hide anything in his heart. Always find someone close to you to talk about it, after meeting Du Shanhu this morning, I secretly said a few words to him, and things were a little dirty. But it was he who eavesdropped on it from his father and mother, what does it mean, Du Shanhu didn't believe it at that time, and the relationship between Li Jinhua and General Li and Zhao Shi was unclear, where did this matter start?

When the two met, one was already in his early twenties, the other was only eleven or twelve years old, and the difference in identity was 108,000 miles. was even more in the army, and then Zhao Shi returned to Gongyi County, and Li Jinhua became a general in Qingyang Mansion, and he didn't even see each other again, is it not clear? This little prince really dares to break blindly.

But now...... He wasn't sure, but Zhao Shi had always been calm and methodical, and he had never been distracted. Maybe it's really ...... He laughed twice in his heart. Then he turned his face away, and it was better not to get involved in this kind of thing. Li Quanshou is the little prince, he is not, when Lao Du's bones are not pierced with his fists.

The group came to the middle of the hunting ground, which has been newly decorated, and the high platform has also been newly decorated, with yellow silk as the top, fragrant wood as the wall, and hundreds of civil and military officials have reserved their seats, and a qiē has been arranged.

This time I didn't have to wait long, but this pomp and circumstance was much bigger than at the beginning of the martial arts, civil and military officials, in addition to those who were really inseparable from their duties, all accompanied by the car, and there were more than 1,000 people in the team of eunuchs and palace maids.

Still a few miles away, the sound of the people outside shouting long live has already come, the lifters are all gathered together, there are more than 1,000 people, each is a little nervous, even people like Du Shanhu are also stamping their feet and rubbing their hands, raising their heads to look, such a scene ordinary people may not see once in a lifetime, and some throbbing is inevitable.

Li Quanshou jumped to his feet, repeated his old tricks, and said loudly: "Lao Du, let's make another bet, do you say that my father came by horse or in a sedan chair?" ”

Du Shanhu replied casually: "You can't be difficult for me now, this time the prince must be sitting with the saint to come over." ”

Li Quanshou smiled proudly, "You are wrong again this time, my father will definitely ride over and lift me up." ”

Du Shanhu only smiled bitterly and lifted him up, although Li Quanshou is a little elf and eccentric, but as the prince of King Jing, some petty temperament is inevitable, Du Shanhu has also heard others say nonsense before, but after getting acquainted, he knows that this little prince is very good to those close to him, and he is not a very unreasonable master, and he is very able to wait and see the style, so it is not as terrible as rumored, plus he deliberately lowered his figure, so now, they get along well.

But then the proud little prince made an old mistake, stretched his head to Zhao Shi's side, and his voice was also very low, "Sue you something, you can't tell the people next to you, my father never sits in a sedan chair when he has nothing to do, a few days ago there was no way, even the emperor's grandfather has to ride a horse today, not to mention my father?" This is the rule set by the ancestors.

But everyone else said that my father was still martial, hehe, but they didn't know, my father was dizzy once he sat in a sedan chair, and he was forced to go back to the house that day, and he vomited after he came back, so he said, my father always rode a horse when he was fine, by the way, this matter is very secret, you don't want to tell others. ”

Zhao Shi was stunned, but the corners of his mouth were already smiling, the big people have the troubles of the big people, the little people have the hearts of the little people, and the current life is indeed much richer and more colorful than in the previous life. Will there be a sentence in the history books of the future generations that King Jing has been martial since he was a child? It must be the earth, and who will pay attention to these little things in the people of the Hereafter? And what about yourself, will you leave a mark in the history books? If you can't pass this pass tonight, it is estimated that no one will know, and naturally no one will stay and write a sentence in such and such a year and such a month, and Zhao Shi, the champion of the new science and technology martial arts, died at the hands of someone.

My thoughts were a little messy, but my spirit became more and more excited, and I experienced many difficulties in life and death. But he also saw life and death thoroughly, and there was not much fear in his heart, but some expectations.

The frame walked in front of him, and he didn't hesitate at all as everyone shouted Long live the emperor, but felt that such a scene, such a crowd, if there was no such overwhelming whistling sound, it was a little abnormal, only so. can show his might, only in this way can people feel that the position of standing in the ranks of those who have walked by is enviable, I have to say, with his current state of mind. But it is more and more integrated into this era.

Emperor Zhengde finally sat down, and the sound of long live the mountain gradually stopped, looked around the field, and swept over the faces of the envoys of the Western Xia Jin Kingdom one by one. The envoy from the Jin State called Yan Jinming, who seems to be a younger brother of the Jin Lord, due to the closed news, he can't know everything about this person's past, and he doesn't know a lot about the internal affairs of the Jin State, plus the Jin State is much more chaotic than that of Daqin, and he often kills this and that, and the second and third grade of the important ministers also say kill and kill. I heard that some time ago, the gold lord was bloody at the beginning of his accession to the throne, and the ministers and the royal family killed all over the place, and it was reported that more than 100 people with the surname Wanyan were killed, not to mention the ministers, according to Emperor Zhengde, almost the entire Xingtai Shangshu Province was washed in blood, and the prime minister killed two or three, and then it was estimated that no one used it. So the province of Shangshu was simply abolished.

At that time, he had not yet ascended the throne as emperor. However, I still have some confusion about the approach of the gold owner, killing and killing. There seem to be more people with the surname Wanyan, he didn't know at that time, Wanyan was a Jurchen department, and later became the emperor, and some of the relationships were surnamed Wanyan, if Wanyan was really killed, the emperor probably wouldn't be theirs.

The man was a little fat, the weather was not hot, but the man's face was greasy and reflective, and he was very restless when he sat in the chair, his body was twisting around, but the look on his face was very arrogant, and he muttered a few words to a young man behind him from time to time, and then looked at it with contempt.

On the contrary, the envoy of the Western Xia next to him sat upright, and his eyes were also scrutinized, Zhengde remembered that this party member who looked like he was about forty years old and had a resolute look on his face was called Li Yuankang, who was the nephew of the current Western Xia Emperor, and it was said that his authority was not small.

Taking these people's looks into his eyes, Emperor Zhengde couldn't help but smile in his heart, although he had been at war with Western Xia for a long time, and the threat of Western Xia to Great Qin even exceeded that of Jin State, but from the perspective of these two people, it was still more pleasing to the eye than this party person, thinking of this, a little swollen face showed a slight smile.

His eyes turned back, and finally fell on his favorite son, after a few months of hard work, this already smart son can be regarded as being able to take charge alone, Li Xuanjin is now a little thin, but his spirit is good, and a pair of calm and stern eyes are also sweeping around several messengers, not noticing that his father is looking at him.

Emperor Zhengde looked at the crown prince beside him again, the crown prince Li Xuanzhi still had a gentle smile on his face, his clothes were spotless, but his eyes were turning around on several important ministers of the Great Qin, nodding from time to time, his attitude was gentle, which made people feel good, and he didn't know that the emperor next to him was looking at him.

Zhengde sighed slightly in his heart, this son, is too similar to himself, since he was a child, he imitates everywhere, he is partial and weak, he can't take responsibility, the kung fu of a strong man breaking his wrist is good, and every last move is to abandon the car to protect the handsome, but he doesn't know who should abandon it, and who must keep it.

Hiding the disappointment in his heart, he sighed in his heart, the fifth son is good, resolute and calm, but he has been in the army for a long time, he is too rough and direct, governing the country and governing the army are two different things, it is not difficult to imagine that if the fifth son sits in this position, will he kill a river of blood like a gold lord?

The things of the year were like in front of me, when Xuan Jin was still young, but when he was playing with his brothers, he said, if I am the emperor of Great Qin, I will include the sea, the imperial **, the eight wildernesses, and build a meritorious work that is not lost in the Han and Tang Dynasties......
