Zhao Tong smiled. How could the young lady not know what she was thinking? He put down his wine glass, walked out of the case, took a few steps, and said to the female musician: "Start the tune, tune to watch the tide."
When the silk and bamboo played, he didn't sing, but just followed the tune and chanted:
Spring flowers and autumn moon, floating life is like a dream, this evening is lonely in the Liang Garden. At dusk in the pavilion, the zither and flute are cracked with gold, and the soul is enchanted by the red sleeves and white shirt. Silver strings are scattered under the stars. I want to sing and dance, drunk and graceful. Purple road and ordinary world, how can I turn my palm lightly when the time comes?
Things are still going on. I feel longing for the world, and God wanders to the horizon. In the morning rain and dusk wind, the beauty is far away, and the heart of the piano is almost broken by the sun. The index is full of joy and sorrow. Let the frost fall and the ice and snow become cold. From then on, the romantic relationship was replaced by Gu Ying and Chou Mian.
Xiao Min was dumbfounded, with a mixture of anger and anger on his face, and after a while he said: "How could Wang Haichao do this?"
Zhao Tong returned to the case and drank the wine: "Why can't you do this?"
Xiao Min said: "Isn't looking at the sea tide praising peace, honoring the emperor's longevity, chanting the scenery, and expressing feelings about the spring?"
Zhao Tong smiled and said, "Messenger Xiao missed a word of pity."
Xiao Min: "You!"
Zhao Tong said: "I can express my feelings about the spring, and I can write about the wind and flowers!"
Xiao Min said: "This is against the rules!"
Zhao Tong said: "My king's rules are the rules."
Xiao Min said angrily: "Didn't the prince say that we have something important to discuss, and why haven't we discussed it yet?"
Zhao Tong turned back to the case and sat down. He drank again and looked a little drunk. He said, "I heard that Dashi Linya is the eighth grandson of Taizu of the Liao Dynasty?"
Xiao Min said expressionlessly: "Yes!"
Zhao Tong: "It's a pity that the great stone Lin Ya is astonishingly talented and admirable, and he is both civil and military."
Xiao Min said coldly: "Your Majesty, please stop trying to silence me. Since there is something important, why not talk about it?"
Zhao Tong said: "Didn't he listen to what Messenger Xiao said?"
Xiao Min said: "How could you harm your own family!"
Zhao Tie smiled and raised his glass: "Back to Lin Ya, let me tell you that the heroes in the world... are Lin Ya and Tie Er!"
After he finished drinking the glass, he fell drunk on the chair and could not move...
On the second day, Liao Lei was set up and ten high platforms were set up in Nancheng.
The high platforms are lined up side by side, with thirty Liao people guarding each platform. The loser, even if he survives, is no longer eligible to compete. The limit is seven days, and whichever side is still on the stage after seven days is the winner.
The rules are simple and clear. Life or death is not a concern in the fight. You can use hidden weapons and weapons at will. If you can win, you are a hero.
When real masters fight, it doesn't take long to decide the winner. If the fight is endless, either there is no hatred and each other holds back, or they are not at the top level. It is difficult for both of them to defeat the other party.
Opposite the high platform there are two flower sheds, one big and one small. The big flower canopy is spacious, with dozens of feet on the left and right. Zhao Tao sits in the middle, and on both sides sit the Minister of War, Minister Zuo Cheng, Xue Ang, the Minister of Rites, Bai Shizhong, the Minister of Rites. Tong Guan, the minister of the Privy Council, Gao Qiu, the commander of the front department, Teng Tu, the powerful commander of Kaifeng Prefecture, Tan Zhen, the deputy commander of the Guards and Army Department, and many other officials.
In front of the flower canopy is Kong Mu Daobilang, the head of each department, who is responsible for the review and deployment of the pro-military department, and all the personnel are available.
The Liao people were in the small canopy next to them. It was late summer and the canopy was transparent from all sides. Sitting here, one could see the actions of the Liao people in the canopy. However, everyone in the envoy looked unhappy, so There were so many people in the group and the canopy was so narrow that it was unbearable.
In all directions, except for the roads specially set aside by the Imperial Guards, the rest were occupied by Tokyo residents.
The people of Tokyo do not know gold at the moment, they only know about Liao and Xia. The people in the court are different from each other. They only pay attention to the hearty and lively life. The grudges have been accumulated for hundreds of years and are deeply rooted in the bones. After tea and meals, they are passed down from generation to generation. Curses are endless, and the indignant are filled with anger. What about etiquette? It’s just fun.
There was also someone climbing on the tree in the distance. There was a street ranger. He was a scoundrel in the market. His fists and feet were shallow and could not be beaten. So he took a slingshot ball and aimed it up and down. When he missed it, it bounced onto the head of the old man below. The old man cursed. , the ranger stared, the imperial army arrived, and all the sticks were beaten away.
There was a big man next door, with two young men, three young men, five young men and eight young men, climbing up the wall and riding in a row to watch the beating from a distance. The old man was excited and the third young man was lively. He shouted "Hu, bang, drive", and with a loud bang, the wall fell down. The mother-in-law ran out and wiped her tears, cursing that they were a bunch of prodigal goods and that it would be a waste of money to build a wall. As for the pain, just bear with it!
Further back, there are many stalls set up, offering snacks, fried food, boiled and fried snacks, sugar syrup, and freshly made snacks. I have it all, as long as you have money, guest.
Zhao Tong sat on the stage and looked ahead. The time had not yet come. The Liao people on the stage were whispering in groups of twos and threes. Some had solemn expressions, some had contempt on their faces, and some had their eyes closed slightly, unaware that they were thinking about the glory of the empire. She is still the hot girl in the family.
Zhao Tong took a sip of tea soup and said to Xue Ang next to him: "Xue Shangshu has been leisurely recently."
Xue Angli said: "There are still more than a month left for the martial arts examination. I have nothing to do at the moment. Your Majesty is worried about me."
Zhao Tong didn't speak anymore, but looked at a few people approaching from the road flanked by the Forbidden Army.
The leader was an old man, wearing a black gauze hat and a crimson robe, with a light green complexion, white eyebrows like snow, corners of his lips turned down, and a staggering gait.
Behind the old man were two young chamberlains, one holding a stick and the other holding a box.
Zhao Tong smiled when he saw it and said, "It's rare that it's Mi Si's envoy who came to deliver the order."
Regardless of whether it is a child's play in the arena or not, it is an agreement between the two countries. Various actions are planned by the court, and various regulations during the period cannot be lacking.
Everyone stood up, Mi Zhenting tremblingly climbed up to the flower canopy, and nodded to everyone with a drowsy look: "I can't do it anymore, I can't walk anymore, I can't walk anymore, I'll just declare the decree right now."
The decree was sent down to all the people, and it took nearly a quarter of an hour to complete. After Mi Cangqiong read the decree, he said breathlessly: "Here comes the stick."
The young eunuch behind him hurriedly handed over the stick he was holding in his arms. Mi Zhenting leaned on the stick and said politely: "Your Majesty, this old man is not very polite. Don't blame me. I'm afraid that if you move too much, you will fall to the ground and get damaged." The dignity of officials weakened the dignity of the Song Dynasty."
Zhao Tong shook his head and said: "Mi Si envoy announced the decree to supervise. I have something to blame, and I am the one who is here."
At this moment, as the time approached, the master of ceremonies of the Ministry of War beat the war drum, and as the people cheered loudly, the Song and Liao countries officially began to compete.
There are ten big battles, and there is a Liao man standing on each one. They are different in height, fat and thin, but no one is empty-handed. They are all holding various weapons. This is a life and death battle, so the more methods you can use, the better.
During the seven days in the ring, Zhao Tong had ordered that all relevant people in his family were not allowed to enter the ring on the first day, and they had to find out the opponent's background first.
The Liao Kingdom will not send real experts directly, there will be a process of trial and error.
Zhao Tong looked at the ring. He didn't know much about the strong fists and kicks in the Liao army, but he did know about the lush green forests of the Liao Kingdom. Most of them were Baitou Mountain and Tiger and Leopard Court. These two places were the most powerful.
The identity verification of the forbidden army below was completed, and the Song people lined up to enter. The leader went straight to the first arena, but he did not take the usual path. He was still far away from the wooden steps. He used a dry land to pull onions and jumped straight up. , and then shouted: "Wuna Liao dog, what are you looking at? Why don't you hurry up and lead him to death!"
