Chapter 76 Who is whose luck?
The good weather makes people want to shout loudly. There is no wind, and there are no clouds in the blue sky that seems to have been washed. The sun shines down from the sky without any obstruction, spreading a thick layer of warmth on the ground. His Majesty the Emperor's car drove forward in the sunshine and slowly entered the huge martial arts arena.
After entering the martial arts arena, we walked for half an hour before faintly seeing the earthen city. The emperor whispered instructions in the carriage, and the carriage stopped steadily. The leader of the eunuchs, Su Buwei, bowed and opened the curtain of the carriage. The emperor stuck out his head and couldn't help but take a greedy breath of fresh air outside the city and said smoothly: "When you get to the martial arts arena, don't take a carriage, but ride a horse."
Su Buwei hurriedly waved and ordered someone to bring the emperor¡¯s mount over. This was a pure white horse from Northern Liao. It was a gift presented to the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty when the envoy from Northern Liao came to Chang¡¯an for the first time. After getting the horse, the emperor immediately abandoned his original mount, a majestic war horse from the Mongolian and Yuan Empire. Although that horse is made of the same precious sweat and blood, who said it was born in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.
This war horse, which was called the Snow Kirin by the Northern Liao people, was so wild that it took His Majesty the Emperor half a month to tame it. Even though the emperor had led troops and was proficient in bows and horses before he ascended the throne, the process of taming the snow unicorn still made him a little anxious.
After getting off the horse and getting on the horse, the emperor cheered up.
Luo Weiran, the commander of the Imperial Guard Department, and Hou Wenji, the deputy commander and governor of Qingya Town, followed closely behind. Behind them were hundreds of imperial guards wearing flying fish robes. The chambermaids and others could only continue walking, slowly walking towards the viewing platform, following the horses behind to eat the smoke.
After the horse ran for several miles, the emperor felt that his wrinkled body had relaxed in the past few days.
So I¡¯m in a good mood.
Still far away from the viewing platform, Prince Yi led the way, the director of the Yanwu Academy Zhou Banchuan, General You Zhenwei Xu Xiaogong and others were already rushing over to greet them. Seeing the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor, Prince Yi took the lead in raising his robe and knelt down to say long live the emperor. Behind the three of them, the professors from the Yanwu Academy and the lieutenant general of the Youzhen Guards knelt down.
The emperor dismounted, walked over, helped Zhou Banchuan up, and said, "Didn't I say that you, sir, are highly virtuous and respected, so you won't kneel down when you see me?"
Zhou Banchuan winked at Prince Yang Yin of Chaoyi and said, "Your Majesty, kneel down first, how dare we stand."
"Get up, Sixth Brother. From now on, as long as it's not a formal occasion like a court meeting, you don't have to kneel down to pay respects. It's too troublesome."
The emperor smiled and walked towards the viewing platform: "I plan to be lazy for a day today, so I came to your martial arts arena to watch the competition between the top three. The top three young talents of the Sui Dynasty martial arts academy, They are all outstanding people. I hesitated for a long time but could not resist the temptation, so I came directly after the court meeting."
"It hasn't started yet."
Zhou Banchuan replied.
The emperor said as he walked: "I heard that there was no fight yesterday. I thought they were all waiting for the attack in the dark and night. But in the morning, no news was sent to me, so I realized that those three guys should be there. Waiting for others to take action first, so I¡¯m here I¡¯m sitting on the spectator stand, why do they have the nerve to wait?¡±
When he said this, the emperor actually looked a little proud like a child.
Zhou Banchuan and Prince Yi Yang Yin looked at each other and smiled, especially Prince Yi Yang Yin who smiled happily. If His Majesty hadn't arrived in person, I'm afraid he would have had to wait in the martial arts arena for three days. In his own words, after spending three days in the martial arts arena, he didn't know how many wonderful programs he missed.
The emperor seemed to be in high spirits. He quickly climbed onto the viewing stand and sat down on the chair in the middle of the game. He looked at Yang Yin and said with a smile: "The tea leaves in your house are better than those in the palace. Take some out quickly. Don't be stingy."
"My brother's tea is not as good as that from your Majesty's palace. I have been coveting the Dahongpao that was sent to the palace as tribute from Jiangnan this year for a long time. Every time I think about it, I can't sleep"
"I know you won't suffer a loss!"
The emperor rolled his eyes at him and said, "I will drink your tea today and ask Su Buwei to send you a pound of single-branch Dahongpao later."
"Thank you Lord for your kindness"
Yang Yin clasped his fists and bent over, feeling a little overjoyed that he had taken advantage.
After the fragrant tea was served, the emperor put it under his nose and smelled it and couldn't help but praise: "I said that Lao Liu's hand is full of good things. This tea is probably at least 14,000 lotus hearts with more than 14,000 buds. This pot In exchange for money, it can cover the expenses of a small family for a year."
"A gift from Wu Yiyi."
Yang Yin quickly lowered his head and said.
The emperor smiled and did not continue the topic of tea. HeHe pointed to Tucheng a few miles away and asked: "Send someone to urge them, saying that I will see the results today. If there is no winner before dark, I will kill all three of them." Send him to the garrison of Ning'an Tower. Even if Luo Yao, Yu Manlou and Li Yuanshan come to kneel and beg, I will not take back my life."
The guards below did not dare to delay, and quickly mounted their horses and galloped towards Tucheng.
The emperor took a sip of tea, pondered for a while, and turned to Zhou Banchuan and said, "Mr. Zhou, Hou Wenji told me something interesting two days ago. I was really happy after hearing it Hong Xiu has been recruited back to Chang'an."
"ah?"
Zhou Banchuan¡¯s expression changed as he drank tea with squinted eyes, and he almost spit out a mouthful of tea.
Xu Xiaogong, who was sitting farthest away, subconsciously glanced at Prince Yi Yang Yin and quickly looked away. He knows His Majesty's temperament and will never say certain things or words without any reason. Any words His Majesty speaks to his ministers often have a deeper meaning behind them than the literal meaning.
He looked at Yang Yin subconsciously because he knew that His Majesty's words "Red Sleeves Recruit to Chang'an" seemed to be addressed to Zhou Banchuan, but in fact they were addressed to Prince Yi.
"Is Lao Qi back?"
Yang Yin immediately stood up and asked impatiently.
The emperor shook his head and said: "It has been ten and a half years since I sent people to search all over the Sui Dynasty, but there is no trace of Lao Qi However, even if the singing and dancing troupe of Hongxiu Zhao comes back, we can still see the shadow of Lao Qi. . I have already told Hou Wenji to inform the officials below that since Hongxiuzhao is back, he should continue to work in a down-to-earth manner, and he should not collect a copper coin less from the taxes that should be paid to the building. It was the same rule when I was here But the Chang'an Mansion should not make things difficult for them when it comes to sealing approval documents. If I know that someone is doing some tricks, I won't let him go easily. "
These words sounded like they were talking about the Chang'an Mansion Yamen, but everyone present knew what they meant.
Zhou Banchuan narrowed his eyes again, but there was a smile in his eyes.
Xu Xiaogong lowered his eyes and looked at his toes, saying nothing.
Yang Yin smiled bitterly and shook his head. He sighed and leaned over and said, "If I miss it once, I will never make it again."
¡¡
¡¡
It took half an hour after the news of the emperor's arrival at the martial arts field was sent, but there was still no movement in Tucheng. This made Prince Yi Yang Yin a little displeased. He glanced at Zhou Banchuan, who was sitting on the chair leisurely and wondering where he was, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Zhou, do you think you can still fight today? ¡±
"beat"
Zhou Banchuan opened his eyes and smiled: "His Majesty's decree has been issued, how dare those three little guys resist and disrespect it? I just guess that I haven't figured out how to fight yet, so I might as well wait a little longer."
The emperor smiled and said: "If the three of them rush up with their troops because of my decree, then there is no need to watch it anymore. As a general, you have to take action to win. If there is no trace of it, The chance of winning is purely to cater to me. It is a waste material and should not be used. "
Yang Yin couldn't say anything else and looked at Tucheng sulking.
The emperor said: "Lao Liu, your temper is still the same, you are too impatient."
"My brother has become much calmer."
Yang Yin said in a humble tone: "I have cultivated flowers and birds over the years to cultivate my temperament. Let me slowly settle down again."
"Um"
The emperor hummed and said, "You can't be in a hurry when it comes to cultivating your moral character. If you are anxious, you are not cultivating your moral character and cultivating your character. Instead, you are continuing to cultivate your anxious temper. The more you cultivate your temper, the more you will become irritated."
Hearing these words, Yang Yin looked slightly sad.
??Continue to cultivate your moral character.
He smiled bitterly in his heart and said to himself, Your Majesty, I have already planned to cultivate my moral character and not be concerned about government affairs for the rest of my life. Why do you need to remind me again?
At this moment, Xu Xiaogong suddenly handed the clairvoyance to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, there is movement over there."
The emperor took the clairvoyance and looked towards Tucheng. He couldn't help but let out a chuckle and said, "Why are three people moving together? Flags were raised on the south, east, and west. Could it be that the three of them had plans?" Attack at the same time? If this is the case, they finally understood the meaning of Mr. Zhou's arrangement. "
"It looks like it is."
Xu Xiaogong said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou arranged this to let them know that sometimes when faced with seemingly unsolvable problems, they can solve them easily as long as they remember the word unity. There are two thousand troops stationed in Tucheng, and the three of them can solve them easily." There are only five hundred soldiers. If they take turns to fight, no one can defeat them. Only if they think of uniting and working together to attack the city will they have a chance of winning. "
"So, from the beginning, Mr. Zhou had no plan to rank the top three in the martial arts academy this year, but he wanted toUse such a competition to teach them what they should know as soldiers. "
The emperor nodded and said: "Luo Wen, Yu Xiao, Li FuboMr. Zhou, who do you think thought it through first and then convinced the other two people?"
Zhou Banchuan thought for a while and shook his head slightly: "Luo Wen is cold-tempered but simple, which is difficult. Yu Xiao is too scheming and easily falls into dead ends, which is also difficult. As for Li Fubo, who is the calmest but lacks agility, it is still difficult I can't think of anything. Who is it? I thought that when the three days came, they would not understand the meaning of my arrangement."
The emperor said: "Whoever comes up with this idea, I will directly make him a general from the fourth rank and send him to the Youxiao Guard in Li Yuanshan in the northwest."
These words are truly profound.
Among the people here, except Prince Yi Yang Yin who ignored government affairs and did not know that the emperor was going to launch troops in the northwest, Zhou Banchuan and Xu Xiaogong all knew. Sending one of them to the northwest at this time shows how much the emperor wants to reuse new generals. If we seize this opportunity and achieve some success in the northwest, our future will be limitless.
"Huh?"
Xu Xiaogong suddenly let out a surprised sound, pointed in the direction of Tucheng opposite and said, "There seems to be a change."
"Why did a group of troops suddenly appear in Beicheng?"
"pretty!"
Emperor Longyan was so happy that he couldn't help but slap his thigh and said: "There are suspicious soldiers in the south, east and west. I'm afraid they only arranged dozens of people with flags, but those three people joined forces and went around to the weakest point of defense. It's wonderful that we have such a good general in our Sui Dynasty."
But for some reason, Zhou Banchuan's eyes narrowed again, thoughtfully.
¡¡
¡¡
Tucheng
Watching the soldiers swarming up the north city wall, the three young talents from the Martial Arts Academy all had smiles on their faces. Yu Xiao, who was twenty-one years old and was destined to inherit the title of Duke, pointed at the city wall and said with a smile: "Brother Shanwu, if you hadn't suddenly understood the dean's thoughts, I'm afraid the three of us would have been anxiously looking at the map in the big tent. It¡¯s going round and round.¡±
Luo Wen smiled and said: "Brother Dingcheng, it's just a fluke."
He looked at Li Fubo and smiled and said: "I originally thought that Brother Mouwen should be the most promising person among the three of us to win the championship. We have prepared gifts in private. It seems that we need to save this money."
Li Fubo smiled and said, "Let's go into the city. We'll have to go see the saint later."
"Please, both of you"
Luo Wen made an invitation gesture, and Yu Xiao entered the city first, followed by Li Fubo. After the two of them walked out a few steps, Luo Wen turned around and whispered to his personal guards: "Go and kill that person, and keep your hands and feet clean." I must not let anyone know that I did not come up with the method to destroy the city."
The personal guards under his command nodded, turned around and rushed back towards the camp with a dozen people.
Seeing his personal guards leaving, Rowan sneered and said to himself: "No matter how smart a person like you is, what's the use? You were unlucky to meet me, but you sneaked into my camp because of me. Very lucky."
He looked at the Tucheng gate and seemed to see a set of armor from a fourth-grade general. Suddenly the wind picked up, and the Sui war flag that had just been erected on Tucheng was fluttering like the hand of the god of fate waving to him. - Didn't finish reading?
