But it was said that it was the king of Rijiayou, who was overjoyed and rushed to the palace, and sent a decree to announce that the royal relatives went to the palace. The official on duty received the order, went out of the noon court, and introduced the official is Bao Longtu. When Di Qing heard the call, he immediately kowtowed to Bao Gong and said: "The villain is a small people, how can he see the emperor when he wears such clothes?" ”

Bao Gong said: "If the saint doesn't ask, if you ask, that is, the queen mother gave you to wear, it will be fine." Bao Gong led the little hero to the Jinluan Palace, the three shouts of worship and dance have been completed, the saint Qin gave a flat body, carefully observed Di Qing Qi Yu Xuanang, a good hero, and said: "Yu Qi can play your lineage from the beginning." Di Qing listened, and explained the official positions of his ancestors in the world one by one. When the saint heard the music, he was beaming, and in accordance with the decree of the queen mother, he was given the title of king. When Di Qing heard the words, he fell down and couldn't stand it, and said: "Although Your Majesty has received a great grace and a boundless sense of responsibility, but it is useless to receive this heavy lord, I am afraid that it will be hindered by reason, so as not to be unjustified by the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty." The Son of Heaven said: "Since Qing is a royal relative, it is appropriate to push the grace and seal, and there is the queen mother's decree, who can criticize?" The royal brother can resign. Di Qing said: "Your Majesty, the minister does not have an inch of merit to the country, and he is extraordinarily gracious, and the ministers of civil and military affairs, even if they dare not discuss, that is, the minister has no face to stand above the court, so he resolutely does not dare to obey the decree and be entitled." ”

At that time, King Luhua couldn't wait for Di Qing to accept the post, but he didn't know that he didn't accept it, and he was very unhappy in his heart, so he said: "Cousin, this is the will of the queen mother, and it must not be violated." Di Qing said: "Chitose, Weichen Meng Empress Dowager and Long Live Longen, I didn't dare to disobey." But it has no merit for the country, and it is vain to receive this grace, and the conscience is very ashamed. The minister has a word, and he will play Your Majesty. The Son of Heaven said, "You can play!" Di Qing said: "Long live Fu Qi issued a decree, so that the heroic generals will compete with the ministers." If the minister is stronger than the first grade, he is willing to receive the first grade, and those who are better than the second grade will receive the second grade, and those who are more than the third grade will receive the third grade. In this way, the upper does not live up to the grace of Her Majesty the Queen Mother, and does not interfere with the civil and military discussions of the Manchu Dynasty, and the ministers are listed in the Banliao, so that they will not be ashamed of the corpse. When King Jiayou heard this, he smiled and said: "The words of the royal brother are reasonable, and I will follow the decree, that is, to pass the decree of the civil and military ministers, and wait for them early tomorrow morning, and I will come to the imperial church in person to watch the ministers compete in martial arts." "All the members of the command. He also said: "The two royal brothers will return to the palace and go to the imperial sect tomorrow morning." "King Luhua and Di Qing are the leaders. The hour was over, waiting for the driver to return to the palace, and the ministers dispersed.

Brother Luhua returned to the palace, entered the inner palace, and joined hands with the Queen Mother.

Empress Dowager Di shouted: "Nephew, it's not my aunt who complains about you, you shouldn't have gone out in the dead of night to commit murder and kill this traitor." If it weren't for the inner prison to come back and report it, it would be a caged bird again. ”

Di Qing said: "This is not a little nephew's trouble, just because he remembered Sun Xiu's traitor, he was unforgettable, and he wanted to kill this traitor at all times." Unexpectedly, when he arrived at Tianhan Bridge, he was drunk and confused, and he was unconscious, but he was captured by the two traitors. Lord Duomengbao inspected and rescued, and played the saint. Empress Dowager Di said: "I have to excuse people, but I don't know what official title the saint has given you?" King Luhua said: "The saint obeyed the decree of the queen mother and crowned him on the throne, but I didn't know that my cousin said that he didn't want to accept this important position, so he fought against the teaching field, and then sealed the official." Therefore, the Holy God has decreed that he will come to the Imperial Church in person tomorrow morning to compete in martial arts. When the Queen Mother heard this, she was displeased and exclaimed: "Nephew, you really don't know how to advance or retreat." It is effortless, that is, Garn named you king, it is to ascend to the sky step by step, how to be brave and strong, and teach the field to compete, which is also a big lack of advocacy. Di Qing said: "Auntie, it's not that my nephew doesn't know how to advance and retreat, I have pretended to be a strange man since I was a child, and I must act openly and honestly, and I will not be discussed behind the backs of others, and I feel worthy of it." Besides, he is an official on the surface, and he is very happy!

If the martial arts are highly promoted, it is the most righteous principle. This is the nephew's lifelong determination to do this, and it is difficult to reluctantly give in. Empress Dowager Di said: "Nephew, although your words are reasonable, but there are many military generals in the Manchu Dynasty, and there is no ability stronger than yours." As the saying goes, there are strong players in the strong, don't be too conceited, if you can't compare with others, you will make a fool of yourself on the spot. It's okay for others to laugh at me, but if I am laughed at by a group of traitors, even my aunt will be dishonored. Di Qing said: "Auntie don't have to worry about it. Although there are people who are stronger than me in the Manchu Dynasty, and there are many people who are weaker than me, my nephew has his own opinions, and my aunt must not worry about it. ”

Although Di Qing said this, the Queen Mother was unhappy in her heart, and called: "Wang'er, I only worry about Pang Hong and Sun Xiu, and I have a grudge against him. Besides, knives and guns are ruthless things, and if you miss them, they will hurt your body, how can you do it? King Luhua shook his head and said: "My son also thought of this, but my cousin didn't listen to the advice, if there was a mistake, wouldn't it be a fulfillment of the wishes of the people?" Empress Dowager Di thought for a while and exclaimed: "My son, there is a reason for being a mother.

If you want to keep your nephew harmless, and temporarily borrow Taizu's golden sword armor and wear it with him, who else dares to move on him? King Luhua said: "The words of the queen mother are very reasonable. Empress Dowager Di immediately took the eunuch of Gong'e, came to the middle hall in front of the Taizu Dragon Pavilion, burned incense and prostrate, told the grandfather of Taizu, and asked to borrow armor to protect the nephew. After saying goodbye, there is a manager of the Dragon Pavilion who is too coming, so he will invite the eight treasures of gold helmets and gold armor together. Two internal supervisors, one holding an armor and one holding a helmet, the Queen Mother took it and thanked her. There is also a golden diamond knife, which is the day of the Dongping King in charge, and the King of Luhua personally goes to take it, please go back to the house, in case the Ming Dynasty does not show it.

Let's say that the two traitors are retreating from the dynasty, and Sun Xiu and Hu Kun returned to the prime minister's mansion with Pang Hong.

Master Pang was overjoyed in his heart, and called the two of them and said: "I don't want that little beast to be a fool, don't do a ready-made prince, but compete in martial arts, I don't know what he wants?" Sun Bingbu said: "Father-in-law, now the enmity is getting deeper and deeper. We need to clean up this little brute. Master Pang said, "This is not to be said. Hu Kun said: "I don't know what kind of manipulation the old lady has?" Master Pang said: "Some are not difficult, wait for me to pass on a few thick generals, Wang Tianhua, Ren Fu, Xu Luan, Gao Ai to come, teach him to compete in martial arts. , Di Qing was killed, why bother? Sun and Hu were overjoyed when they heard this, and said, "Sure enough, the high view is not bad." At that moment, Taishi Pang sent his family to invite each other separately, only saying that he would like to go to the Xiangfu Fangyuan to enjoy the osmanthus and play chrysanthemums. And he commanded that a wine feast should be prepared. After a while, they came one after another, and the tea was finished, and they were invited to the Moon Pavilion, and the seven people were in place to talk. When he was young, the eight notes played in unison, the elegant rhyme was sonorous, and after several rounds of wine, Xu Luan asked: "Old lady, I don't want Di Qing to be the nephew of the Empress Dowager Di." Brother Sun, the three of you want to clean up this person, but now you have made Di Qing gain this momentum. Gao Ai said: "If Di Qing receives this important position, the court will be like a big insect in the mountains and forests, relying on the power of the Queen Mother, it will inevitably go on a rampage, and we will not fall into the prestige!" Sun Xiu nodded and said, "The two of you are not bad. Hu Kun said: "This is the original matter, so please come here to consider." But with the pawn so rampant, this is worth it! Ren Fu, the former lieutenant of the palace, said with a smile: "Rank old brother, this Di Qing is the nephew of the queen mother, and he is commensurate with the holy imperial watch, it seems that it is difficult to oppose it. When Master Pang heard this, his eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Brother Ren's words are inevitably incompatible, don't you hate Xiao Fei Junzi, who is not poisonous and not a husband?" This Di Qing is deeply jealous of my son-in-law, Brother Hu's great enemy, how can he be tolerated? Wang Tianhua asked, "I don't know what the teacher wants?" Pang Hong said: "Because of this matter, the old man asks all the virtuous brothers to come and discuss, and when the martial arts competition is held tomorrow, this little minion will be killed with a knife and a shot." Wang Tianhua said: "Teacher, if you want to kill him, it is not difficult, but I am afraid that the queen mother will be guilty and the saint will reprimand, how can this be good?" Pang Hong said: "It's okay to do this." There has always been a competition for power, and there is no case of compensation. If the Queen Mother has anything to say, there is an old man to argue with you, long live the blame, and the old man can protect it, and it will be fine. Wang Tianhua said: "If the old lady is okay, then on my Wang Tianhua's body, Di Qing's head will be taken." Pang Hong said: "This is the old man's Bao Bao, it will be fine." Sun Xiu and Hu Kun shouted together: "General Wang, since you call yourself a hero, you have already said a word, and the horse is difficult to chase and cannot be changed, so you can be regarded as a hero." Wang Tianhua said: "Second brother Sun and Hu, where do you come from, if I don't take Di Qing's head tomorrow, I am willing to offer my own head." Sun and Hu said happily: "Hugh has to be serious. "The plan has been decided, and the resumption is free, the remuneration is paid and the persuasion is paid, and the three drums are handed over, and the four of them say goodbye to the government, and Sun and Hu also return to the house without expression.

The next day, the emperor came to the church to watch the competition, which was extraordinary. The Imperial Church Field is cleaned up, and the Caishan Hall is neatly arranged. The seat of the dragon pavilion is covered with tiger skin felt mattress, and the hall is surrounded by jade railings, which is not full of strange lights, the orchid chrysanthemum is fragrant, and the golden furnace is thick. On both sides of the east and west, a rank was set up to treat the princes and generals, and the shifts were arranged in order.

At the beginning of the five watches, the civil and military positions, one after another, entered the court to see the driver, the princes and ministers prostrated the golden steps, three shouts long live, and asked the emperor to go to the imperial field to see the competition, I don't know when to drive, waiting for the decision of the decree. Under the decree of the saint, Yu Chen carved the carve, ordered the first-grade civil and military ministers to drive, and the second-grade and third-grade went to the church to serve. At that time, at the end of the morning, the emperor finished breakfast, lined up Jin Luan, hundreds of guards, dozens of pairs of eunuchs, all the way to sing loudly, cigarettes all over the street, to the outside of the teaching field, there were already dozens of civil and military attachés of the second and third grades, prostrate on both sides, to welcome the holy car.

The Son of Heaven went down to the Eight Treasures Agarwood Caicha, the eunuchs guarded, etc., followed to the Caishan Treasure Palace, ascended to the dragon throne, and the civil and military ministers were finished and stood in shifts. King Luhua played: "Di Qing has brought the order in the teaching field. "The Son of Heaven issued a decree to summon Di Qing to see. When Di Qing heard the call, he put on his armor and prostrated down the steps, and when the Son of Heaven saw Di Qing using Zhao Taizu's armor, he suddenly felt in a hurry and stood up to greet him.

It turned out that after Zhao Taizu died, he left behind an eight-treasure golden helmet, a pair of eight-treasure gold armor, and a nine-ring gold diamond Ding Tang knife. The will will to hide this armor in the Southern Qing Dynasty, and use the Eight Treasure Dragon Pavilion to worship respectfully. Four internal supervisors, daily supervision. This golden diamond knife was sent to the five princes' mansions, and they took turns to be in charge. If you want to get this knife, you can cut it first and then play it. Please get the armor out, and the princes, princes, and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty should also bow down and greet them. Even when I saw this armor today, it was like seeing Zhao Taizu. Now the Empress Dowager Di wanted to keep her nephew from being harmed by others, so she specially invited the golden sword armor and Di Qing to use, so the Son of Heaven spoke and hurriedly asked King Luhua: "Brother Yu, which idea of this armor is used with him?" King Luhua said, "It was borrowed from him by the queen mother." King Jiayou said: "If my cousin can use this armor, that is, the Song Dynasty, he can also give it to him." The royal brother will return to the palace immediately, please ask the queen mother, how can the ministers use the things of the royal family, the dignity and humility are disorderly, and the monarch and the ministers are difficult to distinguish. At that moment, Pang Hong and others were secretly happy, and King Luhua listened, and when he thought about the words of the Lord, it was good, so he immediately resigned and returned to the palace, and presented his mother to the queen. When Empress Dowager Di heard this, she thought: "This was originally my failure to inspect, so as not to avoid the civil and military private remarks of the Manchu Dynasty, but now I have lent it to my nephew, and I must not return it." You have to make it clear to the saint that you don't care about the things of the ancestors, just for Di Qing's own use, but I have a word, if Di Qing has a bad pool, you must always pay attention to it today. "King Luhua should say goodbye, get on the horse and whip, return to the Caishan Palace, and play the words of the queen mother one by one. When Emperor Jiayou heard this, he smiled slightly: "The queen mother is really self-conscious, it turns out that the use of this armor and golden knife with Di Qing is nothing more than to prevent others from bullying." But he is a relative of a king, and the ministers naturally look at my feelings, who dares to bully him. ”

At that moment, Di Qing shouted long live, and the Son of Heaven issued a decree to calm down, and then passed on the will: "The three-grade martial artist will compete with Di Qing first." The three-rank martial artist said the command, and the Son of Heaven said: "Cousin Yu must be careful. Di Qing led the order, got off the Caishan Palace, held a hundred catties and nine rings of the big knife, and was proud. There are a group of traitors such as the Pang family's son-in-law, Hu Kun, Feng Zheng and Ding Wei, Chen Pengnian, Chen Yaosuo, etc., who are eager to stab Di Qing in two sections. Only Bao Zheng, Hu Yanxian, Han Qi, Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo, Zhao Qingxian and other loyal ministers all hoped that Di Qing would win and sweep away the traitorous ministers. I saw that among the three-grade martial artists, a chief military officer flashed out, surnamed Xu Mingluan, less than thirty years old, born with a purple face, a short and slight mustache under the sea, seven feet tall, with a helmet and armor, and came to the Caishan Hall to prostrate and see the driver.

I don't know how the competition will win or lose, and let's see the next breakdown.
