Chapter 250: Showmanship
"Peng!"
In the palace, on the stage set up by the eunuchs, the Mongolian wrestlers had big shoulders and round waists, and they were not tall, but their shoulders were very broad, and a fall over the shoulder threw a guard to the ground.
The moment it fell to the ground, the dust on the countertop seemed to be shaken up a lot.
With a cry of pain, Mei Huaigu and Liu Jin's faces tightened, this is already the third ...... Not an opponent at all. Because of his weight, this Mongolian wrestler is too stable, and the power gap brought by his size seems to be insurmountable......
And this Mongolian wrestler is also very arrogant, he made a provocative expression at the emperor, the corners of his mouth were grinning, and he didn't care about the scarlet and black wounds on his face that had just scabbed.
He stood on it with a mountain of momentum, but it seemed that a group of Han people had no one to fight.
Looking at that arrogant expression, Zhu Houzhao was a little angry in his heart, if anyone talked to him about national unity at this time, it would be historical nihilism.
"Go and get Shouwen." Zhu Houzhao thought for a moment, "By the way, I went to find someone who could speak Tatar, I want to know what bird language he was talking about!"
Liu Jin sweated, and said in his heart: The emperor is really a strong personality, do you still need to think about what that person says, it is definitely not a good word, you have to listen to it, who is in a bad mood after listening to it?
Zhu Houzhao remembered that in the good news, it was mentioned that in the battle of Qianniu Fort, a rather powerful tiger general emerged. He'd always wanted to see him, and today's opportunity was not blunt, it was excellent.
After the actual combat test, there is no need for him, the emperor, to judge, basically a powerful master.
So I couldn't help but rejoice.
Mei Huaigu saw it in his eyes, and thought that the emperor's happiness was the kind of happiness he imagined, and he had to go back and ask his two sisters to prepare well.
Speaking of which, fortunately, when the Gu family came to beg him, he didn't treat her like the mistress of the Mei Mansion, who only treated her as a maid bought by his father, but really helped her.
So now what he says, the two younger sisters are still very willing to listen.
Yang Shangyi arrived quickly, and when he came over, he wore a military uniform, just this detail, the emperor knew that he was a person who was very good at relationship with eunuchs.
"Wechen see Your Majesty!"
"This Mongol wrestler," the Emperor pointed to the platform, "he has already defeated three of my guards in a row. I remember that there was a man in Thousand Cattle Castle who became famous in the first battle, and said that he was extremely powerful, where is he now?"
Yang Shangyi didn't expect the emperor's memory to be so good.
"Your Majesty, there is indeed such a person, his name is Xu Guan. When Wei Chen arrived at Qianniu Fort, he was the only one left to protect a few wounded soldiers and children, and the minister cherished his talents, so he took charge of his account and became a personal guard."
"You two, who wins?"
"The minister does not dare to hide it from His Majesty. Xu Guan is a little stronger."
Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows, in his concept, Yang Shangyi was already brave and good at fighting, after all, he was recommended to Wang Yue because of this characteristic at that time.
Talents are not easy to emerge in peacetime, and they will jump out of the plane at the first opportunity.
"Xuan!"
As soon as the emperor turned around, he made a gesture on the dragon chair, and pointed to a pawn next to Yang Shangyi, who should be an interpreter, and said, "You tell him that I will always send people to fight him today, one will not win two, and if two cannot win, three will be killed, even if he is exhausted, I will not be able to straighten his waist in this place!" ….
The kid who can speak Mongolian was also brought by Yang Shangyi, and he was born with a big cake face and eyes like a mouse, and his appearance was ugly. But it seems that although he is a little restrained in front of the emperor, his words are still crackling......
After he finished speaking, the Tatars on the stage were obviously furious, and they stomped and screamed.
When he finished calling, Zhu Houzhao asked, "What did he say? Translate truthfully, no matter who explains anything to you, if you let me know that you dare to bully you, I want your head!"
Yang Shangyi and Liu Jin both lowered their heads for a while,
Leaving a pawn to be so frightened by the emperor, where do you have the guts to mess around?
"Your Majesty
Under. This Tatar, whose name was Aragu, was angry when he heard what His Majesty had said, and felt that it was very unfair. Say that we are Ming people...... There are too many tricks......
Zhu Houzhao smiled lightly, "You said to this Aragu: Is it fair and unfair when you crossed the Great Wall and slaughtered unarmed civilians? There is no fairness or unfairness in this world, only winning and losing. The Ming and Tatars are also unfair, the territory of the Ming Dynasty is thousands of miles, the people are hundreds of trillions, the Tatars are just a few tribes, I am fifteen years old, as long as the Tatars are not satisfied, I can spend twenty years, hundreds of thousands of troops to chase and fight against the Tatars, one general is tired, just change to another general, anyway, there are many of us, and when we win, there will be no fairness or unfairness!"
The pawn was a little restrained, but he still mastered the essence of translation, and even learned some of his demeanor and tone.
The Tatar warrior named Aragu heard that the Ming Emperor was a little at a loss, and then he only said a word.
But the pawn translator suddenly paused, and he didn't dare to speak, "Your Majesty, this person is so bold that he should behead him!"
", flip it!"
"The minister doesn't dare!"
"I said, I forgive you for your innocence, don't say it, I will kill you now!"
In this way, the man kowtowed and cried, "He said that His Majesty is a devil and will not be blessed by the Immortal Heaven in the future!"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Jin's face changed greatly, "Bold!"
"Hahaha." Unexpectedly, the emperor on the side laughed, "I just want to be the devil of the Tatars!"
After waiting for a while, the soldier named Xu Guan finally arrived.
As soon as Zhu Houzhao saw him, he had a feeling of 'Lu Fengxian, this life has a big face with Chinese characters, with a beard, the key is the body shape, the pure height is definitely more than one meter eight, and it feels like one meter eight five, and the tiger has a bear waist, and it is sturdy. When he knelt on the ground, the big hands were rough and thick. Suddenly, it looked like a wall.
It can be said that Zhu Houzhao is the strongest person he has ever seen in Daming.
"Your name is Xu Guan?"
"Back to Your Majesty, it's a villain."
"Where?"
"Shandong."
Shandong Dahan.
The Emperor pointed to Aragu, "Did you win?"
"He's too fat to win wrestling, but on the battlefield, he can be killed."
This sentence is easy to understand.
"Get your weapons! Now this contest is not only a matter of superiority, but also a matter of life and death!"
This was the first time Xu Guan had met the emperor. Regarding this emperor, he heard praise and criticism in private, but no matter whether he was good or bad, no one dared to underestimate him in a single word. ….
Now it seems that this momentum alone, coupled with the majesty of the emperor, is already full of pressure.
……
Spears and broadswords reflected the glare of the sun, and everyone watched in silence.
In fact, the competition in the palace is a scene that has not appeared for many years, and the emperor suddenly put on this play, and I don't know how many officials will be noisy when it reaches the outer court.
And the goal that Zhu Houzhao wants to achieve is actually to extract the word Wu from the blood of the Han people.
The Ming Dynasty is going to perish after all. It doesn't matter if he, the emperor, is the first emperor of the ages or the first emperor of the ages.
If he wants to learn from the former Song and Later Qing dynasties, the way of suppressing the martial spirit and imprisoning the progress of thought to maintain his rule...... I'm afraid that he himself will have to rebel.
The emperor watched the martial arts, and this matter would naturally have its impact.
Xu Guan is tall and has long legs, a spear in his hand makes him as imposing as a dragon, and his strength is not weak, Aragu's big scimitar collides with him several times, and he doesn't feel his arm numb.
The spear made a lot of changes after cooking, or picking or stabbing, and after a few rounds, Aragu retreated again and again, hurriedly dodging.
Look at Xu Guan again, holding a gun with his back, standing upright, so majestic!
"Your Majesty, Xu Guan must have won." Yang Shangyi is an expert and can see it more clearly.
Sure enough, when they fought again, Aragu had to defend with a knife. One shot
The spear fell from the sky, and this powerful cracker also hit his gums tightly, and he was fat, and he couldn't help but pant after continuous high-energy consumption actions.
Then he muttered something again. The interpreter said, "He's asking, what is General Xu's name?"
Both the Emperor and Yang Shangyi smiled.
"I'm Xu Guan! The one who takes the head of your neck!"
But he didn't want this Aragu to throw the big knife, and said, "If you don't fight, I can't beat you."
After listening to the pawn's translation, Xu Guan didn't know what to do for a while, is this okay?
Zhu Houzhao was happy, and waved his hand, "Not so many people want to die. If you are willing to live like this, let him live. There are still a few brick movers in the southwest corner of the Jingshi."
Xu Guan put away his spear, "Yes!"
"Come here."
As soon as they heard this, everyone knew that Xu Guan's good luck had come.
This big man has well-developed limbs, and his head is not stupid, so he honestly knelt on his knees in front of the emperor.
"Shouwen, this time I'm going to take your love."
Yang Shangyi bowed, "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. There is no minister's love in this world, and Xu Guan is also His Majesty's courtier."
"Xu Guan, you killed the enemy on the battlefield, and you were brave. This time, I also kept Daming's face for me. I have long said that the court loves talents. Have you ever read a book of war?"
"Back to Your Majesty, I only heard my grandfather talk about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms......
It's also enlightenment.
"Then go to the military academy and read some military books. Although there are geniuses who can lead troops without reading military books, most people still have to rely on acquired efforts. Xu Guan, the military academy is going to be examined, and I will exempt you from this section. And you have a special merit, and when you come out, I will have arrangements."
"Your Majesty!" Xu Guan's big hands were closed, "The villain can't read a few words, and he has a lot of brute force. If you want to talk about fighting, it will be a little bit, but the general does not want to be wrong, but he will never back down if he rushes to kill the enemy. Your Majesty's grace is really a waste to give it to the villain. Therefore, the villain thought, if it is possible, the villain wants to give this favor to a friend of the villain."
"Presumptuous!" Liu Jin's eyes widened angrily, thinking that these vulgar people really didn't understand the rules, "How can you give the grace of the emperor at will? And the military academy is an important place for the imperial court, who can be decided by His Majesty, and you can also be determined?!"
Xu Guan's scalp was numb, he didn't think that this thing was not allowed, and he felt that the emperor was happy anyway, and he could say whatever he had to say. It shouldn't be an accident.
"The villain is stupid and said the wrong thing, please punish the emperor!"
"Who do you want to give it to?" Zhu Houzhao only asked flatly.
"It's a baby named Han Twelvelang."
"He's your dear?"
"No, it was picked up on the battlefield. He had a father-in-law named Yu Zizi, who fought to the exhaustion in the Battle of Thousand Cow Castle, and finally died with a Tatar soldier."
Zhu Houzhao sighed a little. Once he will succeed, he will not want to fight if there are no border troubles and no Tatars.
「…… Your Majesty, Yu Zizi, from the Military Academy."
"Then, you both go to the military academy. Xu Guan, you must be able to recognize words, I don't want you to be able to write poetry, but you must be able to read and understand articles. Don't think that a broadsword is sharper than a brush. To be truly powerful, it must not be just spears and knives."
