cockfighting

The ice and snow in Helan Mountain melted and froze, frozen and thawed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe spring flowers in Jiangnan withered and bloomed, bloomed and thanked.

The years are silent, but they urge people to grow old!

Heaven and earth have only passed a few springs and autumns, and all living beings in the world do not know how many joys and sorrows they have experienced.

Only the people in the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, can see the taste of the peaceful and prosperous times.

Early spring in March, Luoyang City.

On the street, it has long been crowded, vying to see the Western Liao mission enter the capital.

When the Khitan Yelu Abaoji established the Liao State, once called the desert north, and then the Jurchens rose between the white mountains and black waters, the Liao people were defeated, almost occupying their land, forcing the Liao people to move all the way to the west, and later the Liao Tianxi Emperor died of illness, and the clan general Yelu Dashi was elected as the emperor, this Yelu Dashi is a generation of generals, many years of war, and finally retained a territory. After Dashi's death, his descendants inherited Liao Zuo and exchanged envoys with neighboring countries.

In the capital, the Western Liao delegation paid tribute to the palace a number of fighting cocks, saying that they were extremely fierce and the birds of the Central Plains were far from being comparable. This matter reached the ears of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother was born in Jiangmen, when she was young, she also followed the emperor to hunt, and now she is older, although she is no longer out of the palace, her competitive heart is still there, and she still likes to watch the fight of birds and beasts, and she is to watch the royal garden in person.

The queen mother is not the biological mother of the current emperor, the most important among the sons of the first emperor was the prince, that is, the current saint, and the most doting is the king of Chu. Because the emperor's biological mother was born in the Han clan and had no power in the court, and the queen of the main palace did not give birth to a prince, she handed over the crown prince to the queen mother to raise, so the current emperor grew up in Kunning Palace since he was a child, and the relationship between mother and son with the queen mother is no stranger than that of his own child. After the emperor succeeded to the throne, according to the law of the ancestors, he made her the queen mother. The emperor's biological mother, Zheng Guifei, was also canonized as the queen mother.

In the imperial garden, dozens of wooden cages are lined up, and the cages are covered with black cloth. In the cage are the ten best and strongest of the group of fighting cocks that the Western Liao people attacked.

At noon, there was a sound from Cining Palace, and the Queen Mother really came in person.

A high platform has already been erected in the imperial garden, and the queen mother ordered to take a batch of Central Plains military chickens, which is another name for cockfighting, and the fighting cocks of Xingong in Western Liao compete with each other, each with a victory or defeat. The black cloth was uncovered piece by piece, and the people of Xiliao and the chickens in the palace also started a war one by one. In the end, the Yangguan black iron chicken of the Western Liao people was more than thirty percent larger than the largest military chicken in the palace. The most powerful cockfighting in the palace is not an opponent either.

The Queen Mother turned her head and asked Jia Shi, the great eunuch of Cining Palace, and said, "It's not General Jinjia, the fighting king of Dezhou Mansion, who has been paid tribute by Lu Qi, the governor of Shandong. Jia Shi said: "It's still outside the palace, and it hasn't been sent to the palace yet." The Queen Mother immediately ordered the flying horse to fetch it.

After a short time, the palace guards and the little eunuch really got the golden armor general.

General Jin Jia really lived up to expectations and defeated Yangguan Black Iron Chicken. The Queen Mother said with a smile: "The ancients' poems were: 'The sound of splitting blood and losing the sound of sound, pecking Yin is very hungry, and he is so anxious that he is frightened, and he is clever with his heart." But isn't that a portrayal of today? ”

The Xiliao people only have the last cage, and this cage is very different from other cages, the other chicken cages are either wooden cages or bamboo cages, but this cage is actually an iron cage! This iron cage is three or four times larger than the other cages, and it has been covered with black cloth. Everyone thought in their hearts that this cage was so big, and the chicken in the middle must be bigger and more male, which was indeed difficult to deal with.

At this time, the cloth was slowly removed, at this time in the middle of the sky, a ray of sunlight into the cage, a snow-white bird in the corner, this bird was originally in a half-squatting posture, encircled in the corner of the iron cage, at this moment saw the light, slowly stood up.

When everyone took a closer look, they saw that this bird was not very big, it seemed to be smaller than the Yangguan iron rooster just now, and the peculiarity was that the feathers were snow-white, the claws were golden, and the beak pecked was as black as ink. Everyone was still deeply disappointed, and wondered in their hearts, they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the Xiliao people, and why they used such a large iron cage to contain this military chicken. Everyone looked at the bird, only to see that its eyes were slightly open, a ray of golden light shot out of its eyes, it shook its feathers slightly, opened its mouth, and purred softly in its throat. At this time, I suddenly heard the sound of fluttering and pulling in the surrounding gardens of the Imperial Garden, and when everyone looked at it, they saw countless birds and birds fluttering their wings, and it was just like a gust of wind in the flat ground, sweeping away a black cloud.

The Queen Mother watched for a long time, and she was a little tired, and when she heard the sound of birds flying in the forest, she couldn't help but feel refreshed. He sat up in the brocade forging phoenix chair, turned his head to Jia Shi and said: "Xiao Shizi, I heard that birds and beasts also have spirituality, you see this bird, as soon as it appears, it can startle a large number of birds, indicating that there is an inexplicable murderous aura hidden in this bird, maybe it is a bird in Yiying, and it is unknown." Although Jia Shi didn't think so, he still bent down and said with a smile: "The Queen Mother's phoenix eyes are like electricity, and the candle shines faintly, but although this bird is good, it may not be able to win against the Golden Armor General." The Queen Mother shook her head and said slowly: "Not necessarily, not necessarily ......" seemed thoughtful. Jia Shi thought to himself, what the queen mother meant, in the end, is that the golden armor general is powerful, and this bird may not win. Or is it that what I said may not be right, this bird will win. He is usually quite good at figuring out his intentions, but at this time, it is inconvenient to ask more, and he doesn't know how to deal with it for a while, just only.

Sure enough, as soon as this bird appeared, except for the general of the golden armor, the rest of the fighting cocks were so frightened that they shrank and did not move, and some of the fighting cocks were still looking forward to Shenfei just now, and they were all overshadowed now, and a few of them were even unable to stand up, trembling on the ground. The two fought fiercely, and it was extremely tragic. Everyone was dazzled, only to see Mao blood splashed, but in the end it was found that Mao Xue's was all Jin Jia's, and Jin Jia's general was torn in half. This fowl really defeated the chickens, and it was invincible.

At this time, Jia Shi came up with an idea, and whispered in the ear of the Queen Mother: "The living creatures in the world, birds and beasts are the most. This bird is so ferocious, it can be called the first among the birds, I don't know how it compares with the beasts on the ground, it just so happens that Marshal Yang, the general of the Northwest Expedition to the West, paid tribute to several blue wolves, which are vicious and abnormal, and have not been fed at this time. ”

Marshal Yang is Yang Chengye, who is the younger brother of the Queen Mother. At this time, the queen mother was on the rise, but also in order to show the power of the northwest of the brothers, immediately nodded, and ordered the management of the royal forest garden Lin Wei Sang Mao to bring the wolf, not long before Sang Mao led dozens of royal forest soldiers, pulled a big iron cage, and the iron chicken cage two doors opposite, opened the iron gate, put the wolf into the poultry cage, the five wolves have been hungry for several hours, one of them is the leader of the wolf. The bird was indeed psychic, and when it saw the ferocity of the blue wolf, it did not fight with the blue wolf, and the blue wolf was hungry and pounced, and it was all dodged away by it one by one, just avoiding the top of the cage. When the wolf was exhausted and unable to pounce again, it flew down like a bolt of lightning, pecked the eyes of the rest of the wolf first, and then broke its head and ate its brain. In the end, the head wolf was gouged out of his heart.

Everyone was dumbfounded, a fighting that even a weasel could easily prey, actually killed five hungry wolves in an instant. I can't imagine that there is such a strange thing in the world, it is really unheard of. Before everyone came back to their senses, suddenly the fighting, with a strange cry, broke out of the cage and grabbed a golden hairpin from the head of the Queen Mother, and the bird wanted to mouth the Queen Mother again.

At this time, a person in the palace suddenly appeared, it was the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, Hua Mantang, this person is rumored to be Xiao Li Guanghuarong, when the first emperor went out hunting, often accompanied by his side. Armor-piercing hard bows, Ugin arrows, not to mention a bird, generals wearing heavy armor on the battlefield can pierce their chests with one arrow. This bird grabbed the golden hairpin with both grabbing, the wings swept sharply, it seemed that it was impossible to dodge, everyone cheered loudly, the color did not fall, the bird's tail was harvested into a bunch, such as an extra foot, the arrow was knocked down by the hard tail, and only a feather fell on the tail. Dozens of royal forest soldiers, arrows like rain, but this bird has already pierced the clouds.

The Imperial Guards arrived in large numbers. Arrest and interrogate all the Western Liao.
