Chapter 43: Speeding in the Sun
Some people try to use their loud voices to get more attention from the world, but Qianqin prefers to silence everyone and listen to him speak quietly.
Those who dare to be arrogant in Chang'an must have a unique skill, this is the consensus of all the kings and nobles, as for Brother Qian'er's unique skill, it is to make all the people who laugh at him become jokes.
When Zhao Yanmo led a few guards to the scene, he was extremely rare and did not get angry, but just urged the waiting team to prepare to go to the preliminary examination site.
This naked act of covering up obviously aroused the indignation of the Nanyan people, including Wang Zuofei, who was lying on the ground coughing up blood, holding a few broken teeth and wailing.
Zhao Yanmo suddenly became interested, pointed to the iron pillar that was spreading joy on the side, and said: "It has military merits, so it can naturally be punished." ”
After speaking, when he was about to guide the waiting team forward, he remembered something, turned around and pointed to Qian Qin, who was cleaning his hands with clean water, and said with a smile: "He is guilty, but unfortunately I can't cure it, but I think you can try." ”
This is not only a cover-up, but even involves threats, but Wang Zuofei quickly closed his mouth, even if the blood flowed.
Compared with watching the excitement, the candidates who participated in the preliminary examination obviously paid more attention to the next assessment, and quickly restored order in the field and honestly lined up to go to the assessment location.
Wang Zuofei quickly disappeared into the crowd tremblingly with the support of several old classmates, not daring to mention the previous dispute at all, but when he stuffed his broken teeth into his pocket, no one noticed the resentful look that flashed.
...
The official of the Chang'an Ya who issued the passage document discussed in a low voice, it stands to reason that no one cares about beating a foreigner as the eldest grandson of the Qian's family, and if it is explained that it is a Nanyan person who is beaten, there may be people who applaud the case.
However, what is the reason why General Zhao said earlier that the horse has military merits, and the Huanghuang Tang Dynasty can even kill the enemy Kou Jiangong with a horse?
Looking at the officials who were talking around him, a personal guard who had been watching coldly before, said disdainfully: "The other horses naturally don't have such might, this horse is the treasure of the Eastern Army." ”
No matter how many officials asked, they didn't pay attention to it anymore, and followed the team that went to the place of the preliminary examination.
Several young eunuchs of the Chang'an Ya were puzzled, and they claimed to know the affairs of the world when they sat in the government on weekdays, but they were planted on a horse.
Suddenly, a retired lieutenant who had just retired from the Zhenbei Army and had an idle job in Chang'an Ya slapped his thigh, remembering an interesting story about the Eastern Army in the army over the years.
When I thought about it, I thought that the horse before was full of gold, and I thought it was another thing that the Eastern Army had foolishly broken out, but this time it may be true.
The retired lieutenant thought of the rumored young man with a bookcase in the military merit file, and felt that the barbarian who trampled the horse to death with iron hooves had to set up two tables when converted into military merits, and General Zhao was really reasonable.
...
Although the initial examination was only assessed today, many students had already been waiting in Kyoto for many days, leaving behind the diligent students who were shy and hard to read the books of the sages, and the most expensive people with a little more money went to Chang'an in a few places.
However, there are still a few places that can not be glimpsed, among which the most prestigious is Zhaohua Avenue, Chang'an is the world's first heroic city, and Zhaohua Road, known as the imperial road, is naturally the world's first avenue.
Zhaohua Avenue runs through the whole Chang'an City from north to south, and the only one open to the outside world is only the Twelve Imperial Courts located in the middle section, among which the most discussed by the world is the Tang Palace that sits in the south and faces north, which violates the tradition of the emperors in the world to face the south as the supreme luck.
Although the Tang Emperor is jokingly said in foreign countries that he knows that he is guilty of sin, and he can't see the light when he sits in the south, but the Tang people obviously don't care about these rotten stereotypes.
Such a shocking measure was decided so casually, the Tang Military Department sat in the north and faced south to enjoy the appearance of the emperors of the world, but the assessment location of the first examination in the autumn was naturally here, the military department.
...
You can only experience the mystery if you try to do something yourself. This sentence is very applicable in any corner of Chang'an, when all the students begin to quietly knead the sore calves, they can reflect from the side how magnificent Zhaohua Avenue is, and the grandeur here can be referred to as, really long.
Occasionally, officials who traveled back and forth to various ministries on the side of the road, stroked their long beards, and pointed at the candidates with a smile, as if they had seen the appearance of their hard studies in the cold window to enter the court examination.
At the end of the road, you can see a scarlet and eye-catching Tang military flag.
Independent of the six departments of the Tang Dynasty military department, the variety of military flags is staggering, only the eastern king has more than 100 types of military flags, for the identification and deployment of various post roads in the territory, but in wartime, the Tang Dynasty will always have only one red red flag that seems to be soaked in blood.
The giant eaves dome, four white jade lions, the heavy spine bronze door hanging gold plaque, the Tang Emperor gave the book "the emperor does not stop soldiers".
Zhao Yanmo rubbed his face, every time he saw the terrifying pomp of the military headquarters, there was always a heroic energy in his heart, and he was happy.
However, accidents still happen, and places with teenagers are naturally full of these uncertainties, and many people call this frivolous.
...
Yun Zhao held the reins of the horse tightly, for fear that the iron pillar would go crazy again when he saw the spacious imperial road, so he carefully led it to move forward slowly.
Qianqin on the side glanced at it, and laughed at his cowardice as a mouse, who knew that Yun Zhao, who had always been unwilling to suffer losses in words, was willing to be dumb, and estimated that it was caused by the neighing of horses before, which still left a little shadow.
Qianqin stared at Yun Zhao's hand holding the reins of the horse in a daze, and the latter was alarmed, and hurriedly wrapped the reins of the horse around his arm a few more times, and then he was relieved.
Then a saber with a white sword spike slammed into the horse's hips, and the painful iron pillar hurriedly spread its hooves and rushed out, and Yun Zhao, whose arm was wrapped around the horse's reins, flew out with him in the air.
Qianqin covered the warm sunshine, squinted his eyes and looked at Yun Zhao who was hanging in the air for a while, and said with emotion: "You see, in the end, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, who dares to ride a horse on the imperial road in these years, admire it!"
In an exclamation, the young man galloped in the sun.
......
Zhao Yanmo took two steps forward to persuade him, but he opened his mouth and still didn't say anything, and fell silent.
A middle-aged man in a gray shirt, who stopped the iron pillar enjoying the fresh air on Zhaohua Avenue, and the young man with an embarrassed face.
Locked by the horse's reins, not wanting to be hung on the tail of the horse and suffered, Yun Zhao could only turn over and ride on the horse, and before he had time to greet the eighteenth generation of Qianqin's ancestor, he was stopped by the gray-shirted man with his hands in front of him.
Just as he was about to dismount and plead guilty, there was a burst of shameful laughter from behind, and some schadenfreude.
The sound is somewhat familiar, but it's not Qianqin's bastard, because the voice is hard to listen to, and it's a little harsh.
Wang Zuofei, who was missing a few teeth, laughed very happily, leaned forward and backwards, opened his mouth, laughed until the end, and even squeezed out tears, but he didn't stop until he ended with a violent cough.
He laughed so loud and shrill that many people who didn't know what was going on looked at him.
The gray-shirted man naturally looked at him as well, looking a little puzzled.
"Funny?" asked the man in the gray shirt.
Wang Zuofei, who was wiping the saliva from the corner of his mouth, was stunned, his missing teeth were a little leaky, and he couldn't hear what he was saying for a long time.
The gray-shirted man, who was a little impatient, waved his hand, and naturally led the iron pillar into the gate of the military headquarters.
Not only Yun Zhao on horseback was stunned, but everyone in the audience was stunned.
Zhao Yanmo was silent for a long time, turned his head and muttered to the entourage beside him: "Riding a horse on the imperial road is not against Tang law?"
"General, you're embarrassing me, how can we know this?"
"Does anyone dare to play like that?"
"It's... In the past, when King Wu returned to Beijing... Looks like I did it once..."
Zhao Yanmo fell silent again, this time speechless.
...
Yun Zhao quietly glanced at the man leading the horse, and saw that this person was dressed plainly, except for a jade jue tied around his waist, and there was nothing else on his body.
"General..."
"I'm not a general. ”
"Dare to ask..."
"You have a lot of words. ”
Yun Zhao closed his mouth, sat honestly on the horse's back, and let him lead the iron pillar inside.
