Chapter 1, Section 4 Wu Zhuangyuan
When Yingzong saw that it was the prince who refuted, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart: the prince had his own opinions, which he was very willing to see. He smiled and said, "Oh, let's hear it." ”
Erchen believes that the imperial court has announced to the world: a new champion will be elected today. If it drags on for time, it will inevitably lose the world. ”
"Well," Yingzong nodded, "Zheng Aiqing, what do you think?"
Zheng Yuan pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen also believes that the matter of martial arts competition cannot be delayed. Moreover, a fierce battle on the battlefield is not a one-trick two-way victory, so only by fighting knowing that the strength is not going to continue can the skills and endurance of the two be shown. ”
"Hmm," it seemed that Yingzong was a little satisfied with the answer from the military department, but he only nodded slightly, and he didn't know it, "Do you have any other opinions?" said and looked around at the ministers, "Oh?
Leng Qiuhe stood up and said, "Weichen thinks that today's martial arts competition should not go on!"
"Oh?" said Yingzong, stroking his beard.
Leng Qiuhe continued: "Chi and Tie have both competed three times, but their opponents are not the same, so the physical strength consumed by the two before the battle is also different. Therefore, it would be unfair to continue this competition. ”
"Hahaha, it deserves to be the champion of literature," Master Yang stroked his palms and praised, "This insight is really exquisite!"
Leng Qiuhe ignored the accusatory glances cast by the crown prince and Yao Boru, and continued, "However, if you compete another day, it is absolutely impossible! As the prince said, besides, Wu Zhuangyuan will definitely be produced among these two, and if he fights again another day, he will definitely give some treacherous people a chance to take advantage of." Just a little trick on one of the two will make the competition meaningless!"
"Young Master Leng woke up the old man with a word," Zheng Yuan said, "Your Majesty, when Weichen was not an official, he also saw a lot of folk martial arts, and there was also today's situation. However, once the competition is postponed, the next day there will be a person who has lost his physical strength for various reasons, or suddenly seriously injured or even died, and there are even people in the market who take the opportunity to bet and gamble, which has a very bad impact. Therefore, Lao Chen believes that the game cannot be rescheduled!"
"What should I do if I can't continue or reschedule?" said Yingzong to himself.
There was silence on stage.
"Hooray, let's stop the game first!" Leng Qiuhe played.
Everyone looked at the audience together, only to see that Chi and Tie were exhausted in the field, but they were still fighting hard. However, the gun in his hand seemed to weigh 10,000 pounds, and the two of them waved it weakly, no longer as brave as before.
"Your Majesty, there are no eyes for swords and guns, these two are rare talents of my Ming Dynasty, if there is a slight carelessness and casualties, it will be a great loss!" Yao Boru said.
Seeing this, Zheng Yuan also hurriedly played: "I hope the emperor will make a decision as soon as possible!"
"Okay," Yingzong sighed and motioned to Zheng Yuan, "Zheng Qing." ”
Zheng Yuan understood, turned around and announced: "The emperor has a decree, the competition is over!"
"Spread my message: All martial arts should be returned to the post house immediately, and there must be no mistakes!"
With the end of the edict of the emperor's eunuch, the five martial artists left together.
"Leng Aiqing, I have terminated the competition according to your suggestion, and I have decided not to retest. Then tell me, who should this martial champion give to?" Yingzong pushed the problem to Leng Qiuhe who was contemplative.
"Uh...... , what about this......" Leng Qiuhe was obviously a little hesitant, "With all due respect, Chi and Tie should both be martial champions." ”
"Dare to ignore the ancestral system!" "Emperor Chenqi, since Emperor Hongwu, this dynasty has never been a scholar or a martial champion, and there has never been a case of two people topping the list together. Leng Qiuhe's move is really a matter of chaos and chaos with the ancestral system! Please ask the emperor to punish him!"
Yao Boru and Zheng Yuan next to him got together to discuss, while the prince looked at Leng Qiuhe with a worried face.
"Leng Aiqing, the Taishi wants to cure you for ignoring the Chaogang. What do you say?" asked Yingzong.
Leng Qiuhe's face was not afraid, "Dare to ask Taishi, which article of the "Da Ming Law" states: You can't have two champions in the same department?"
The last sentence of "Da Ming Law" is clear: every move must be crowned with the best. The so-called 'best' must be one person, how can two people be crowned?"
"Then what if the two are on equal footing and on par?" Leng Qiuhe asked again.
"How can there be a saying that there is no distinction between the upper and the lower? As long as you try a few more games, the winner will be decided!" Yang Keyu argued.
"Honesty is today, things have to be done, and no more competition can be conducted, can the Taishi choose the winner?"
"This ......"
"If it is forcibly elected, it must be suspected of injustice, and the position of Wu Zhuangyuan cannot be vacant, what should the Taishi do?"
This ......" Yang Keyu hesitated again.
"Master Yang, everything should not be limited to precedents, and extraordinary times should have extraordinary actions. Although there is no precedent for this matter, if it is carried out, this dynasty will be a precedent for future generations!"
"Okay!" Yingzong praised, "What a rhetoric! What Leng Qiuhe said is very agreeable!"
"But the emperor, if two martial champions appear at once, I'm afraid it will ......" Zheng Yuan was still a little worried.
"Hey, Zheng Shangshu, what do you think of this martial arts move compared to previous years?" Leng Qiuhe asked.
"Whether it is overall or individual, the strength is stronger than in previous years!" Zheng Yuan said with certainty.
"Your Majesty," Leng Qiuhe said again, "the world is peaceful, the country is peaceful, and the world is under great rule." This martial arts move is even more talented, and the masters are like clouds, and the appearance of two martial champions is just a common thing. If they are put in the proper position, it will be beneficial to the society and will not do any harm. It can also show the enlightenment of the dynasty and the emperor's heroic and clear judgment. ”
Yingzong was finally not stunned by Leng Qiuhe's stack of top hats, and said, "What is the 'appropriate position' that Leng Aiqing refers to? ”
"Yes. Your Majesty, with all due respect, said bluntly: In recent years, the northern Tatars have been on the military territory, and the intentions are obvious. And I, Daming, have been preparing in Beiguan for a long time. The minister thought that more troops should be dispatched to the border pass in case of contingency. ”
"I see what you mean. Alas, it's still Leng Qing's temper!" Yingzong sighed for no reason.
"Emperor Xie missed!" Leng Qiuhe thanked him. The crowd was puzzled again. Only Zheng Yuan was thoughtful.
"Okay. Lingzhi system's proposed purpose: Chi Wenxing and Tie Yingjie are both martial champions. Alas, I'm tired, let's go back to the palace!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Congratulations to the emperor!"
The next day, in the imperial study, Yingzong said to Leng Qiuhe, who was standing in front of the case: "Shaomin, do you think it is really necessary to do this?"
Leng Qiuhe nodded solemnly, "The minister dares to say something that the emperor doesn't like to hear: the emperor can't take care of his country for the prince forever, the prince must have a comprehensive understanding of his country, and the prince should learn to take care of his country!"
"Alas!" Yingzong sighed, suddenly seemed to be much older, "It's time to go through the experience." Saying that, he half-leaned on the back of the chair, half-squinted his eyes and said slowly, "In the past, I went out on patrol in Weifu, and only my father was with me, how many people do you think it is appropriate to take with you this time?"
Wechen believes that the problem is not the number of people in his entourage, but the ability of these people and the situation at the time. ”
"Oh?" Youngjong widened.
"In the past, General Leng Xuanleng of 'Zhenbei City', although he couldn't understand the words, he was strong in martial arts and good at strategy. ”
"You call your father by his name?"
This is just an objective evaluation of my father. The court should avoid suspicion, so that it might as well be fair!"
"Okay! What a Leng Qiuhe with a clear distinction between public and private!" Yingzong praised, "What about now, is there no one in the dynasty who can compare to Leng Xuan?"
"Forgive the minister bluntly: The emperor should be clear about the political situation in the current court. Under these circumstances, it is not easy to find someone who is as wise and loyal as my father. ”
Yingzong nodded and motioned for Leng Qiuhe to continue.
"At present, the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Tartars is tense, and there must be a lot of foreign spies in the Ming Dynasty, if they learn the identity of the young master, the consequences will be unimaginable. Moreover, as far as the minister knows, a huge turmoil is brewing in the Central Plains martial arts now. ”
"In this way, the prince is more dangerous to go on patrol this time?"
"Your Majesty. Therefore, the minister thinks that the number of guards accompanying him should be considered from many places!"
Yingzong nodded, "Who do you think is more appropriate?"
"Well, this minister doesn't need to say much," Leng Qiu said, "The minister believes that the emperor must have his own humerus strength. ”
"Well, you're a Leng Qiuhe!" Yingzong said with a smile, and then called out with a straight face, "Come on, the crown prince, Wu Zhuangyuan, and Jinyi Wei command envoy Guan Shu!"
"Hooray, are the ministers ......?"
"Shao Min is here. ”
"Yes. ”
After a while, the inner supervisor led the four to the imperial study.
"The ministers knock on the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Zhongqing is flat. ”
"Long live thanks!"
"I have announced that you are here this time to discuss the protection of the prince's micro-service. ”
"But the emperor ......" Guan Shu, who had just returned from a business trip today, felt that it was inappropriate, and other people also had this intention, but the prince was praising Leng Qiuhe with his eyes.
"Ai Qing doesn't need to say much, I have made up my mind!" Yingzong interrupted Guan Shu.
The prince was overjoyed when he saw this.
"I am willing to defend His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the death!" Chi Wenxing and Tie Yingjie knocked to the ground at the same time and asked for their lives.
"How about caring for Qingqing?"
"I don't think so. The tall and burly Guan Shu said, "The two champions of Jin Kewu are the focus of discussion between the DPRK and China at present, and there will be some debate about where the two of them will take up their posts." If the two of them travel with the prince, it will be difficult to hide this matter. ”
There is a reason for that. Yingzong nodded.
"Weichen can mobilize the elite of the Jinyi Guard to accompany him to ensure that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is thorough. Guan Shu said again.
"Well," Yingzong Weiyun refused, "Leng Aiqing, what do you think?"
Weichen believes that what Guan said is very true. Therefore, these people must be masters who do not often go out of the palace to run errands. ”
Yingzong was silent, and seemed to be still hesitating, after all, the stakes were high. The loyal ministers were silent, and the crown prince was also anxious, for fear that Yingzong would take back his fate, so he could only keep making eyes at Leng Qiuhe.
