Chapter 64: What is a knife stream?
Danfeng Gate is magnificent and broad, he can only use this word, this huge city tower with five gates, the original majesty of Daming Palace is displayed in front of people. The first rays of golden light in the morning are also sprinkled on the wide cornices of Danfeng, like a phoenix with wings ready to fly. Danfeng Chaoyang, full of talents, yearning for the power center of the empire.
Through the high doorway, the magnificence and vastness of the Tang Empire suddenly appeared in front of him, Hanyuan Hall is like the Lingxiao Treasure Hall floating on the crape myrtle star in the South Heavenly Gate, towering and majestic, it is like a coiled dragon, the kind of strict, neat, large, so that there is no music in the world can become its soundtrack, only the kind of piano and sound, the fairy music of the bell and drum, and the exotic Hu Ji, can highlight this prosperous palace.
In Li Siye's view, the really strong Tang Dynasty was only in the period of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, the Tang Dynasty was the most vast, the thousand-year-old family had existed in name only, the Daming Palace had just been completed, and a huge empire was showing grace.
Li Siye could not go any further, and the prince dismounted in front of the imperial bridge and wanted to walk to the inner court with the civil and military officials. Today belongs to the court, not the court, so they all go to the emperor's dormitory Zichen Hall to meet the saint.
Eight thousand oxen left four to watch the horses here, and the other four were able to walk a distance to escort the prince to the bottom of the imperial steps of the Zichen Palace, and then stayed there and waited.
Li Siye was already very satisfied, he didn't have that thought, and besides, he had already met Li Longji himself.
Liu Ziwu and Gao Sheng went to escort them, he and Fuji Mu stayed behind to take care of the horses, and Zuo also sent two people out, leaving two people here to wait and watch the horses.
He found a very interesting thing, that is, no matter how many people the prince brings, what he does, there must be people with the left and right rates around him at the same time, even if he only brings two people, he must be one on the left and one on the right, as if he is deliberately maintaining some kind of checks and balances, and between the people on the left and those on the inside, it seems that there is always a contradiction of competition.
It seems that the entire bureaucratic system of the Tang Dynasty is like this, there must be left and right, from the twelve guards of the Southern Ya to the central prime minister, there is a distinction between the left and right, the Zhongshu order and the left servant, the subordinate and the Zhongshu subordinate Pingzhangshi, power seems to be the study of checks and balances, and there is only one emperor.
Li Siye stood at the bottom of this royal palace group, only to feel his insignificance, when the morning sun rose from the east side of Danfeng Gate, the shadow cast by the huge pedestal, the square in front of the Daming Palace was divided into two. Li Siye is between yin and yang, as if facing the oppression of ancient gods.
Several Qianniu were already surprised by this scene, they looked at Li Siye with disdain as if they had never seen the world, they were in a very happy mood, and began to talk to each other. The topic of conversation turned out to be the problem of the family's wife's shopping. A lady of a thousand cows likes jewelry gold hairpin step shake, jewelry this thing luxury goods and ordinary products the gap is simply a world of difference, six treasures can buy an ordinary bronze hairpin, but the chiseled gold hairpin step shake but tens of thousands of dollars, if it is a finished product made by a famous artist, the price will be doubled several times.
There are also silk fabrics, the price of an undyed ordinary silk silk ranges from a few hundred dollars to two thousand yuan, but if it is dyed, the price will be doubled, and if it is dyed with a special pattern, the price will be more expensive, which seems to be the added value of the product. The most expensive is the kind of ready-to-wear embroidered with colored silk threads, such as the bird skirt of Princess Anle Li Bao'er, and the embroidered gold pomegranate skirt of Wu Zetian. It's not something that ordinary ladies can do.
The thousands of cows were worried, and they didn't know how to curb the shopaholism of the ladies, Li Siye felt very funny, they probably didn't know that there was such a word as chopping.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, they guarded the prince back to the East Palace, still maintained the honor guard when he came, and the rest of the time, in addition to being on duty outside the palace, was to hold a wooden knife in the practice room and learn knife techniques with his peers, which was a means to save his life, and he had to practice it well.
In the first few days when Li Siye came to the East Palace, he still felt that everything was very novel, but when he stayed in the East Palace for a long time, he found that the work in the palace was quite boring, every day was a fixed route, fixed guard, there would be no change in the slightest, and what was even more uncomfortable was that he did not have a mobile phone and other things that could pass the time, so he could only chat with Qianniu and learn knife skills from them.
Among these thousand cows, the one with the deepest attainment in swordsmanship and the most obsession with it is the Japanese Fujimaki. He is keen on a knife flow these days, and it is said that he has seen a Zhonglang general of Qianniuwei with his own eyes, and he only saw the silhouette of the other party for a moment, so he went back to secretly figure it out, but he has not been able to enter by name.
Li Siye was surprised and angry, which stupid person lacked such an old-fashioned name, what is it called.
After Liu Ziwu Qianniu's narration, Li Siye suddenly realized that this style was both cutting and closing the knife silently, and playing with the fluency of practice makes perfect. This knife technique was passed down from the veterans of the Western Regions and the swordsmen of the rivers and lakes, and it must be practiced by people with many years of experience in using knives.
This trick pays attention to hand-eye coordination, which is not an eye, but an eye of the heart. When facing the enemy, you must look at the enemy with both eyes, from killing the enemy with the knife to closing the knife in one go, and there is no obstacle.
It is said that the best practice of this trick is Wei Ning, the general of Qianniu Wei Zhonglang, whose knife and knife are as fast as lightning, and the opponent has fallen in a pool of blood without seeing him sword.
The Japanese Fujimaki admires Wei Ning very much, which can be called a five-body throw, thinking day and night that he can get Wei Ning's guidance.
One day, several of them were talking together, and the topic suddenly turned to Wei Ning, and Li Siye suddenly said truthfully: "Wei Ning is my defeated subordinate. ”
Others just scoffed, but Fujimu was not happy at the moment, it seemed that Li Siye's statement was disrespectful and humiliating to Wei Ning's knife technique.
"Brother Siye, you can't make this kind of joke, you can't say this kind of nonsense, and you can't use this to insult the idol in my heart. This is something I absolutely will not allow. ”
"What I said is true," Li Siye said, "Of course I am not Wei Ning's opponent with a knife, but I fought with him with my bare hands and won him." ”
Everyone leaned back and smiled: "Okay, Li Siye, don't blow it, ha, don't you know your nickname?" Called, cooking a thousand cows, pancakes a thousand cattle, which means a thousand cows that become by pancakes. ”
A Qianniu laughed and shouted: "My nickname is Copper Money Qianniu, but it is not as good as the Qianniu you cook, why are they all the way." ”
Fuji Mu was also amused by them, patted Li Siye on the shoulder and said, "I heard that the people of Jingzhao Mansion never rap or brag, Brother Siye, you don't look like an authentic Sanqin disciple." ”
"You even know about Sanqin?" Li Siye sincerely admired Fujimu's erudition.
Everyone was laughing and noisy, and the prince sent an order from the Lizheng Palace, saying that he was going to compete with the palace on the polo field in the Taiji Palace, and asked all the Qianniu on duty to go.
When these people heard this, they were all so excited that they went to the East Palace Stable Pastoral Department to lead the horses. Li Siye was at a loss, and it took a long time to understand that these people were not only the prince's guards, but also the members of the Polo Team of the East Palace.
