In front of the main hall of the emperor's palace in Yuezhou, there was a square paved with bluestones. At this time, many soldiers and officials of the Song Dynasty were already surrounding the square. The officials sat down in front of a few tables and waited quietly.
.
At this moment, a majestic sound of bells and chimes suddenly rang. At this time, Right Prime Minister Fan Zongyin, who was dressed in a vermilion official uniform of the Prime Minister, led Xin Wang Zhao Zhen in a four-clawed python dragon robe and Li Gan in civilian clothes.
Come.
Although there were many civil and military officials around, everyone fell silent. In this square paved with bluestones, the voice of Fan Zongyin, the right minister of the Song Dynasty, could be heard clearly by everyone!
"Your Majesty has arrived!!" As one of the chamberlains finished speaking, solemn music suddenly sounded again. At this time, Zhao Gou was wearing a purple gold crown, a five-clawed gold dragon robe, and dragon-embroidered gold silk shoes.
His hand was holding a woman in a golden phoenix gold silk robe. This woman had a pair of beautiful long eyelashes, beautiful red eyebrows, and a thin layer of powder on her face. She was Zhao Gou just now.
The imploding Wu Cairen.
When Emperor Gaozong came to the throne, he was chased by Jin soldiers from outside and mutinies often occurred internally. Wu often wore military uniforms and followed Emperor Zhao Gou around. She was heroic and courageous. As a result, Zhao Gou became more favored and favored her.
Brought out. Special Forces Time Travel: The Prince of the Song Dynasty 171
I saw more than 20 maids on the side, and more than a hundred guards close to protect Zhao Gou. Then, teams of soldiers surrounded the place. Emperor Zhao Gou was sitting in front of the east gate.
On a high platform, looking down from above
Two powerful maids held a jade screen to block the wind, and another maid held up a large canopy umbrella to block the sun. Then, they placed fine wine and fruits in front of Zhao Gou's desk. Then a little maid took the fruits and peeled them.
Cut into cubes for Zhao Gou and Wu Cairen to eat.
Right Minister Fan Zongyin first greeted Zhao Gou and then said: "Your Majesty, since the disaster of Jingkang, you have been worried about state affairs, and your ministers have been extremely miserable and frightened, but you have done nothing to retaliate. Now, our country, the Song Dynasty, is at its right time.
Defeat the barbarian soldiers in the north. Today, the Generalissimo of Hebei Army and Horses, King Xin, has come to court with victory at a thousand years old. This is a sign that our Song Dynasty will survive the war disaster and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe. Please give me a glimpse of it!"
Zhao Gou said with a smile: "My eighteenth brother is so majestic. He can defeat the Jin soldiers many times and has made great contributions to our Song Dynasty. I haven't seen this king's brother for a long time. If the prime minister invites me, I will declare my faith to the king!"
"His Majesty's decree, King Xinxin appears before you!" During the announcement, King Xinxin Zhao Zhen appeared on the road controlled by the Royal Forest Army. Zhao Zhen wore a plate-type breastplate on her upper body and a wide animal-patterned metal buckle around her waist.
, attached to this buckle is a skirt with three sides, which makes a clanking sound when walking.
King Xin Zhao Zhen wore a four-legged python dragon robe, a pair of dragon-headed boots, and a purple gold crown on his head. When King Xin Zhao Zhen appeared in the square, he naturally attracted the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty.
A face that is somewhat similar to Zhao Gou but more childish, more powerful and imposing than Zhao Gou, a little taller and more majestic than Zhao Gou. This is King Xin Zhao Zhen, Zhao Gou's eighteenth brother.
Even Wu Cairen felt bursts of sadness in his heart when he saw it. Let’s not mention that sad feeling! Although Wu Cairen is gorgeous, he can only accompany the eunuch Zhao Gou next to him for the rest of his life.
A general useless person.
"Four years have passed. Although the eighteenth brother's appearance has not changed, his temperament and body have changed." Zhao Gou looked at Zhao Zhen and muttered to himself in a low voice. His eyes were a little moist. No matter what, he looked now
When it comes to Zhao Zhen, it is always a little sad to think of the whole family being captured and heading north. Even if many things have something to do with him, even if he hates Huizong, it does not affect his feelings for the family. Seeing that the Zhao family is now free
They were the only ones who were naked, and they couldn't help but feel sad.
"Xiao Wang has met the emperor brother! Long live the emperor brother!" King Xin Zhao Zhen paid his respects to Zhao Gou. Fortunately, in this era, King Xin Zhao Zhen is also a prince. He can just salute and does not need to bend his knees.
!
"Brother Wang, no courtesy, please give me a seat!" Zhao Gou said with a smile. "Thank you, brother!" King Xin Zhao Zhen sighed in his heart, then got up and went to his seat. As soon as he sat down, he saw Fan Zongyin, the right minister.
The Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty just went to the outfield to ask his disciples. It seems that this guy also made a bet.
Right Prime Minister Fan Zongyin didn't know that King Xin Zhao Zhen had already made plans and laid out a wonderful situation. Now there are only a handful of people who can pressure King Xin Zhao Zhen to win, but there are many people who can pressure Li Gan to win. Many officials including Right Prime Minister Fan Zongyin and below are involved in this.
bet.
Due to the powerful propaganda, officials and aristocratic families throughout Jiangnan placed bets, and the bets have reached an astronomical figure. At this time, the bet handicap has reached six million taels of silver! If Li Gan wins, Zhao Zhen, as the banker,
I am afraid that I will lose nearly half of my family property.
But if Zhao Zhen wins, this is six million taels of wasted silver. If he gets the money this time and really gets the money, Zhao Zhen will not have to worry about this year's military expenditure. Relying on six million taels of silver,
It can be said that this year's military expenditure and salary payment for King Xin's army is more than sufficient.
"Brother Wang, you have repeatedly defeated the Jin soldiers and retaken the land in the west and east of the river. You have worked hard and achieved great success. I am congratulated!" Zhao Gou said this, but he did not look happy at all. After all, these places are now said to be the territory of the Song Dynasty.
But after all, it was not in his hands, but in the hands of Zhao Zhen. For Zhao Gou, it would be better to give the land to the Kingdom of Jin than to Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen quickly said a few words of humility. At this time, Fan Zongyin, the right minister, spoke. He smiled and said: "To report back to Your Majesty, when King Xin Qiansui fought against the Jin soldiers, he often took the lead. He once fought with tens of thousands of Jin soldiers.
, fight for tens of millions, it is unparalleled in the world! King Xin Zhao Zhen’s ability is his martial arts, which is unmatched by anyone in the world!"
"Oh?" Zhao Gou exclaimed: "You can fight thousands of people? I have never heard of it. It's just that the king's brother has a noble status. How can one believe that the king's brother really fights three hundred people? This is disrespectful!" Zhao Gou said it pleasantly on the surface.
, but in his heart he wished he had lost face to Zhao Zhen. In his heart, he never thought that Zhao Zhen could have any superb martial arts. Martial arts are not achieved by practicing in a short time, but by practicing hard for a long time.
In just four years, it was simply impossible for Zhao Zhen to transform from a literary young man to a top master.
This is also the reason why the handicap is so wide. To put it bluntly, Zhao Zhen’s battlefield is far away from Shangao Emperor here. Not many people here know Zhao Zhen’s true strength, and no one believes in the reputation of King Xin Zhao Zhen’s achievements. Therefore, no one
I believe that Zhao Zhen is an enemy of thousands of people.
Right Prime Minister Fan Zongyin said: "What your Majesty is saying is that it would be good if King Xin, Qian Sheng, were allowed to fight wildly in front of Your Majesty. Our Emperor Shengming naturally cannot do such a thing. However, because there was a swordsman under my sect a few days ago,
His surname is Li Gan, he can kill ten wooden stakes instantly, but if anyone is within ten steps of him, there is no one who can stop him. Li Gan overestimates his own ability and wants to challenge Xin Wang Qian Sui, but Xin Wang Qian Sui agrees.
Furthermore, I believe that King Qiansui was presenting his martial arts skills to His Majesty, so he invited two people to compete in martial arts and present a gift to Your Majesty. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
In fact, these are just a formality. Zhao Gou summoned him just to see Zhao Zhen's joke. Zhao Gou naturally knew about this, so he could just go with the flow. But after all, this was a competition. During the competition, he said
When will it end? It’s just that this kind of thing can’t be said clearly. Once you really start to take action, whoever shows mercy will lose his life. Special Forces Time Travel: The Prince of the Song Dynasty 171
Therefore, Zhao Gou hesitated a little. Although he hated Xin Wang Zhao Zhen, the overall situation was more important. He could not kill Xin Wang yet. First, his reputation would be burdened with the crime of killing his own brother. Don't underestimate this crime.
Even Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty has been charged with eternal crimes, not to mention himself? What if King Xin Zhao Zhen dies in the sword fight? Zhao Gou also wants King Xin Zhao Zhen to die, but he can't die by his side now.
Wouldn't that mean just sitting back and watching his brother be killed? Then would he still want to lose his reputation as an elegant and elegant emperor?
"What did the king say?" Zhao Gou asked. He had already decided that if King Xin Zhao Zhen didn't want to compete or showed a little intention, he would stop the sword duel. But if King Xin Zhao Zhen insists on competing,
, I have already asked, and I have a clear conscience. He was the one who started this competition, and this guy still wants to have a clear conscience!
The trustworthy king Zhao Zhen said calmly: "Brother, thanks to the love of the Supreme Emperor, I am the King of Faith. I must have the ability and courage to stand up for the country and the people. If I lose my courage today, how can I fight against the invading Jin soldiers?"
?Brother, please agree. Besides, I have made an agreement with Li Gan. Even if I cannot perform in front of the palace today, I will still have to fight to the death one day!"
The words "life or death" made Zhao Gou horrified! At this time, Zhao Gou began to face his younger brother. In four years, what did his eighteenth brother who was once escorted to the north together with his father and brothers have become?
Who? Although he initially surpassed Zhao Zhen in playing chess, calligraphy and painting, Zhao Zhen never showed that he had powerful martial arts or powerful military strategies.
But now, King Xin Zhao Zhen's soldiers and horses have grown from scratch, and their powerful fighting power makes Jin Bing fearful. He has been defeated repeatedly in battles with Jin Bing. Well, Jin Bing has never won a battle against King Xin's army! This is
How majestic! How powerful!
When did the eighteenth brother Xin Wang become so courageous? If I had the courage of Xin Wang Zhao Zhen now, could Jin Bing invade so easily? A prince who is proficient in chess, calligraphy and painting,
Being able to say such words, Zhao Gou suddenly felt that King Xin should not be underestimated!
"Your Majesty, since King Xin has said this for a thousand years, please grant it to your Majesty!" This was Fan Zongyin, the right minister, who spoke. He was afraid that Zhao Gou would hesitate and disagree all of a sudden, which would destroy all his hard work.
All wasted.
Zhao Gou came back to his senses and looked at Zhao Zhen carefully. Zhao Zhen also looked at him with a smile. Zhao Gou could not only see the proud and unyielding majestic temperament in him, but also from Zhao Zhen's expression.
, can't see anything.
Later, Zhao Gou agreed and said: "What the Prime Minister said is true! Brother Wang must be careful during the competition, but I wonder where the swordsman Li Gan with superb swordsmanship is?"
Right Prime Minister Fan Zongyin smiled and said: "It is said that Li Gan has entered the palace!" Li Gan and Zhao Zhen entered the perimeter at the same time and had been waiting. When they heard the call, they walked towards the high platform.
At this time, his heart was very calm. This was his opportunity to show his face and he couldn't miss it. At this time, Li Gan was dressed in green clothes and his hair was tied with a white silk ribbon. He held a sword in his arms and looked leisurely.
Walk towards the high platform.
Li Gan travels all over the country, competes with others in swordsmanship, learns from the best of hundreds of schools, and practices his own swordsmanship diligently. Soon, his name as a swordsman appears in the world. Li Gan is quick with his sword and often fights against others.
At that moment, he had already pierced the enemy's body with his sword. If not, how could a little commoner like him be so famous? How could he have entered the palace of Fan Zongyin, the right minister of the Song Dynasty. Really.
Does Right Prime Minister Fan Zongyin accept anyone?
Li Gan stepped forward and knelt down quickly. He was different from Zhao Zhen and Fan Zongyin. Zhao Zhen was the prince and Fan Zongyin was the prime minister. He didn't have to kneel down, he just had to salute. But he was a commoner, so he naturally needed to kneel down.
He knelt down to the emperor Zhao Gou and said: "Li Gan, a guest of the Prime Minister's Office, comes to see your majesty! May your majesty live long live!" Zhao Gou said: "Get up." Li Gan said to Zhao Gou: "Thank you, your majesty!"
Right Minister Fan Zongyin suddenly turned around and said to King Xin Zhaozhen: "King Xin is a thousand years old, where are your swords?" Indeed, King Xin Zhao Zhen did not bring his sword when he came. King Xin Zhao Zhen did not bring his Guanghua swords because Zhao Zhen was afraid
Zhao Gou took it away because of his love. After all, it was under Zhao Gou's territory. In order to fight against the Jin Dynasty, Zhao Zhen had no choice but to obey the emperor Zhao Gou's will.
In fact, a pair of alloy swords are nothing in themselves. The worst thing is to spend more time to make a pair. But Zhao Zhen is afraid that the other party will give it to the Jin people and encourage the Jin people's arrogance. King Xin's magic weapon was obtained by the Jin people. What a shame.
Something that damaged the morale of King Xin’s army! Moreover, the twin swords of Guanghua and the Dragon Spear of Dazhong have the meaning of expanding China, which is of great significance. Therefore, Zhao Zhen did not bring them. Moreover, using magic weapons to defeat them is useless. To deal with a Li Gan,
Zhao Zhen disdains the use of weapons.
After hearing the words of Right Prime Minister Fan Zongyin, King Xin Zhaoqi said lightly: "How can I carry it with me every day..." Before he could finish his words, Right Prime Minister Fan Zongyin interrupted him and said with a smile: "Chitose, we are in competition.
Sword, how can you not use a sword! Fortunately, I still have a good sword in my hand, do you want to give it to you?"
Use your sword? I was afraid that the one you gave me was made of paper and the handle of the sword was poisonous! King Xin Zhao Zhen thought to himself.
Zhao Zhen smiled and shook her head and said, "Xiao Wang's people are outside. Just ask someone to bring them in later." If King Xin Zhao Zhen wanted to use the large and medium-sized divine dragon gun, he would definitely be able to kill Li Gan instantly. But he also
Since he didn’t know how to use it, Zhao Zhen prepared an iron sword sold on the street. He didn’t want to cause trouble when he went to the palace, so he didn’t bring it with him. After all, if a guard wanted to untie the sword, untie the sword would ruin his reputation. If he didn’t untie the sword, he wouldn’t be able to enter.
Palace, so Zhao Zhen simply stopped taking it.
Zhao Gou chuckled and said, "It's a blessing to be able to watch the king's brother fight in person today. But before the sword fight, let's have some singing and dancing to entertain."
Right Prime Minister Fan Zongyin said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I have already made arrangements!" Zhao Gou chuckled and said: "Prime Minister, I will definitely not disappoint Lian."
After the Right Prime Minister Fan Zongyin thanked him, he clapped his hands and shouted loudly: "Play music!" After a burst of sound of silk and bamboo, the music of gold and stone began again. Under the grand music, a row of dancers walked from the corridor guarded by the guards.
When they came out, they were all dressed in palace robes and sand skirts, with graceful figures, stunning beauty, dancing gracefully. A grand and royal-style dance was displayed in front of everyone.
Special Forces Time Travel: The Prince of the Song Dynasty 171
Emperor Zhao Gou was unable to have sex with women due to a hidden injury, so he was very disgusted with women's "explicit" dancing. But he also had needs. Eunuchs were also men and wanted women. Zhao Gou was no exception, so,
He just likes the masculine dance of women. Likewise, only Wu who is a woman can win his favor.
After the dance, the dancers withdrew. Right Prime Minister Fan Zongyin returned to his seat with dancing eyebrows, and then said to Zhao Gou: "Your Majesty, you can invite Xin Wang Qiansui to compete with Master Li!" Zhao Gou was also very happy!
Excited, he was full of curiosity about Zhao Zhen. After only four years of not seeing him, King Xin had achieved unparalleled achievements and even the powerful Jin Kingdom had avoided his attack.
Zhao Gou didn't quite believe that Zhao Zhen could really possess powerful martial arts in four years, unless he had received intensive and secret training in martial arts since he was a child. Thinking of this, Zhao Gou said: "Brother Wang, can we compete in martial arts?"
King Xin Zhao Zhen said: "Brother Emperor's orders are all obeyed!" As he spoke, he stood up, stepped off the platform and walked steadily to the square. Over there, Li Gan also came out with his sword in his arms.
Zhao Zhen's bodyguard came over with a long sword in both hands and put it in Zhao Zhen's hand. When everyone saw Zhao Zhen's sword, it turned out to be a thin iron sword without an edge, a piece of silver for decoration on the street. The sharp-eyed man could also
I saw the words "Liu Ji Jewelry".
Zhao Gou immediately waved to the right prime minister Fan Zongyin. After the right prime minister Fan Zongyin stepped forward, Zhao Gou lowered his voice and whispered: "Prime Minister, my brother Xinwang cannot be killed? Have you told Li Zhuangshi that he was injured and disabled?"
That's all." Right Minister Fan Zongyin smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have already told Li Gan."
Hearing that Prime Minister Fan Zongyin had already taken care of everything, Zhao Gou nodded. Letting him handle such a secret matter showed Zhao Gou's trust in him.
At this time, Li Gan had already left the stage. He let go of the sword in his arms, slowly took out the slender sword, and said to Zhao Zhen: "Your Highness King Xin, you are using this tattered weapon as a decoration.
, you are definitely no match for me, I can allow you to change your weapons! What do you think?"
King Xin Zhao Zhen shook his head, sneered, stretched out his hand to lift the decorative sword in his hand, and said with a cold look: "Change? No need, you think you have mastered the art of fast swordsmanship.
But I don’t know that there are stronger martial arts in this world. In front of this king, you, a little shrimp, want to deal with me, just like a mantis trying to use your arms as a chariot, seeking your own death!"
