246. I am a good emperor (7) (1/2)
"I have something even more powerful."
The emperor in regular clothes was praised by his brother and sister, and the smile on his face became even more proud. He put the three dice back into the sieve cup in front of them, and quickly raised them up and shook them in front of them.
The sieve cup fell on the table. Wei Mingyan slowly opened the sieve cup with a mysterious smile. It was empty inside.
Zhao Shujiu exclaimed, and the little girl who had been sitting obediently on the chair couldn't help but get down to the ground, holding the sieve cup and looking inside and outside. When she looked at it, she found that the three dice were indeed missing, her clear eyes were full of surprise.
"Your Majesty, why don't you see it?"
"Come, come, I will change them back again."
Zhao Shuqing watched quietly as the emperor smiled happily and took the sieve cup, and silently watched him shake the sieve cup. While shaking, his wide sleeves connected with the sieve cup, and then fell on the table, and the three dice inside were Back again.
Looking at the younger sister again, the expression on Wei Mingyan's face has completely lost its previous restraint, and is as bright as the stars in the sky.
Huh, I can only coax Jiu'er, a native of ancient China.
Zhao Shuqing did not make trouble this time. He had rarely seen Jiu'er so happy. After all, she was a lady in ancient times. She could only relax a little when she was a child. When she grew up, she would never leave the house, let alone be like today. I usually went out to play with them.
This kid is so sensible that it makes people feel sad.
Thinking about it this way, a playful husband might be a good thing for Jiu'er.
It would be better if he wasn't so old.
The battle downstairs was over. Although Lang Su was defeated, he was not frustrated or angry. Instead, he took the silver coins they had collected and gave them to the big man.
The people who were just watching the fun suddenly let out a few uproar when they saw that the white | flower | silver coins were actually given out.
They just came to have fun during this time. In the past three days, no one could beat those men, and they didn't feel much in their hearts. But now that they saw someone winning and getting silver coins, their hearts immediately started to get excited.
They couldn't get this much silver even after ten years of hard work.
At that moment, a few men who usually had a lot of strength decided to practice hard. After all, isn’t working also about practicing strength?
The remaining men were still a little disappointed. After all, they had also learned martial arts seriously from masters. In the end, they couldn't even beat the common people who had never learned it. But when they saw the common people shouting when they gave the silver coins, I applauded and felt proud again.
It's just that when practicing martial arts, I worked a little harder.
From that day on, there were no shortage of spectators in the martial arts training arena. Every time these gentlemen went up to practice, there were always some people following suit. They had no money to hire a martial arts master, so they had to do this.
The gentlemen actually have a bit of fun in being teachers. If they see someone doing something wrong, they will kindly give them a few pointers. As time goes by, they, the disciples, will not be the same as before when they gather together. They avoided it, but looked at them with a little reverence.
These young gentlemen were originally considered to be the tyrants in the capital. For example, two groups faced each other in the street, and they sometimes rode horses through the streets for fun. Although no bloodshed happened, they still had a bad reputation. of.
But ever since the martial arts training ground was built, there would always be a group of ordinary people who came to take a look every day when they had nothing to do, and learn moves from them. If they walked on the street, they would be called out to which young man they belonged to, as if they were all They have all gone to the battlefield and become heroes defending the Liu Kingdom.
In fact, everyone has a martial arts training ground in their house. After all, it is not expensive, and most of them are loved by their families. However, after being in the limelight for a few days in this public martial arts training ground, no matter how cold the weather is, the young men have to get up. Come to this martial arts training ground early to show off your skills.
Being praised so highly, these gentlemen now have to pay more attention to their image. They have to look righteous all day long, and they have to keep an eye on whether there are any ruffians in the capital bullying the people. Now they can Now that they are famous, the common people seem to regard them as ready-made masters of Qingtian. If they have any troubles, they will come to the young men with tears to make the decision.
Originally it was just a small fight, but one day a few men were walking on the street and saw pickpockets with their own eyes. They followed the clues and found a pickpocket lair. They were also newborn calves and were not afraid of tigers. They discussed it as a group and took advantage of the opportunity It was dark at night and I entered the yard, intending to take the stolen goods together.
Who could have imagined that there would be a room full of kidnapped and trafficked dolls locked up in that yard.
The husbands were all dumbfounded. After a fight, one of the elders in the family, one from Shuntian Mansion, rushed back for help. In the end, the children were rescued. In the middle of the night, half of the mansions of Kyoto officials were lit up.
This incident caused such a big fuss that all the elders in the family left the house one by one to pick up people.
They were also smart. After finding a place during the day, they agreed to climb over the wall together at night. They didn't even mention it to their families. They sneaked out in the middle of the night and fought with the thieves. If something happened, they would still sneak out. Come on!
The men didn't notice the anger in the eyes of their elders at all. They all felt that they had done a good thing and followed them home happily.
On the second day, it was rare that there was no one at the martial arts training ground.
They were all beaten and were lying on their stomachs at home.
This group of people has nothing to do all day long, and the elders who have been tormented in the middle of the night still have to go to court in the morning.
So the next day, Wei Mingyan faced the old ministers in front of him who had dark circles under their eyes.
He smiled, "I have also heard about what happened last night. Liu country needs such a young man. It is not good if the sons of the nobles can only play around. They are so brave, they deserve to be rewarded!" So, the black-clothed emperor rewarded them with a larger martial arts training ground. This is simply encouraging them to be good at martial arts. Several old ministers felt bitter. They had just decided to keep the children in the mansion. As long as they don't think about going to the battlefield all day, they can do anything, such as cockfighting, bird walking and dog playing. These are so safe. But those young people who used to like to play together are like demons. They are no longer the bitter faces when being trained by martial arts masters. Now they are either practicing martial arts or on the way to practice martial arts all day. Especially those families with many young people, they used to compare clothes and appearance to see who can please the elders more, but now they don't compare anymore. They just gesture all day long. It's not enough to describe that they are addicted. Now, even His Majesty has begun to support it, and those little guys are not going to turn the world upside down. I feel bitter.
Thinking of this, several old ministers looked at Prime Minister Zhao standing in front with jealousy.
This guy has been urging His Majesty to do this and that all day long, and he has never seen his own son go to the martial arts training ground. He is really deep-minded and an old fox.
Prime Minister Zhao, the old fox, was thinking about whether to fill his stomach after the court, and found that his friends behind him were looking at him, and he immediately smiled back.
Well, he is still showing off, which is really bad!
No matter how they resisted letting their children learn martial arts, His Majesty has spoken and built a martial arts training ground. If they don’t let the younger generation go, wouldn’t that be a slap in His Majesty’s face?
So, the newly built martial arts training ground became more lively.
More and more people began to practice martial arts, even scholars who were going to take the imperial examinations learned to make a few moves.
Rumors began to spread in Kyoto that His Majesty admired martial arts, but only Zhao Shuqing, who was hiding in Zhao’s mansion studying cement, knew that this ancient emperor just liked to watch others fight.
He thought, maybe in the eyes of the emperor, their fight was just like the fight between the beasts raised in the palace.
Ever since Wei Mingyan boasted about transporting the beasts out of the palace so that he could show Zhao Shujiu, the future little queen, his favorite game that scared people to tears, he returned to the palace in disgrace and put all the beasts into the forest, never mentioning the trick of watching beasts fight again.
This made Zhao Shuqing have a little more favorable impression on this ancient emperor. Although he loved to play and make trouble, just because his younger sister was scared and cried, he gave up his hobbies, which showed that he valued Jiuer.
After remembering that his attention was not from the elders to the younger generation, but from the men to the future wife, Zhao Shuqing silently lowered his favorability and even deducted some.
Terrible ancient times, terrible emperor.
February is coming, food and clothing have been sent to the army. Now is the coldest time of the weather. Not only their Liu country, but also the Huns have to face this coldness. Now is the best time for them to recapture the seven cities.
If they win, everyone will be happy. If they lose, they will face more malice from the Huns.
Zhao Shuqing found that there were more new faces in his courtyard.
He was a little surprised, especially after he found that some people liked to climb trees. The servants who came and went would not look up to read books. Only Zhao Shuqing, who liked to stare at one place and stare blankly, found that there were people hiding in the tree.
And every four hours, while the people in the courtyard were not paying attention, new people would go up and replace the people on the tree.
There were also people on duty in rotation.
When the emperor came to Zhao's house again in his daily clothes, he readily admitted that those people were sent by him.
Zhao Shuqing suddenly felt a little emotional.
He thought expressionlessly, finally, did this ancient emperor discover how precious he was?
Is this the legendary shadow guard?
A little excited, is there also the legendary Qinggong?
"I originally sent them all to Jiuer's courtyard, but there were too many people to fit, so I stuffed some in your courtyard."
"You think it's too many, too? Then I'll distribute some to the main courtyard."
Zhao Shuqing: "...Oh."
While Wei Mingyan was talking, he picked up a pot of flowers in Zhao Shuqing's courtyard and touched the leaves lovingly, "I think this flower seems to have caught a cold, why don't you let me take it back to the palace and take good care of it."
"No."
"Since you agreed, I'll leave now. "Shuqing, don't send me off." Zhao Shuqing stood up and tried to put on a condemning look, but he followed the emperor calmly and said, "No." "Don't send me off, Zhang Yuan, hurry up." The chubby little eunuch hurriedly followed the emperor. Seeing that the second son Zhao was still chasing forward with a cold face, he immediately pointed at the flower pot behind him and said, "Second son, why is there a big fat worm on this flower pot?" Zhao Shuqing paused, frowned slightly, and turned to look at the flower pot. Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly shook his round body and followed the emperor who had already run away at agile speed. In the courtyard, the servant looked at the emperor who was walking away, and then looked at Zhao Shuqing who was looking at the flowers with a thoughtful look, and asked carefully, "My dear, have you found any insects?" Zhao Shuqing shook his head and said curiously, "How can there be insects in this cold winter? Did Zhang Yuan see it wrong?" The servant's eyes twitched. Seeing that the emperor had not noticed that the emperor had already disappeared with his flowers, he did not dare to expose the emperor's act, so he followed his words and said, "Maybe eunuch Zhang's eyesight is not very good."
My eyes don't work well...
Zhao Shuqing's eyes lit up, he straightened up and was stunned for a while.
He can make myopia glasses. If he can do it, it will be a great achievement.
You can finally get the throne this time, right?
Seeing the handsome man gathering his cloak, he hurried into the house. The boy looked at the space that had been vacated because a pot of flowers had been taken away, and placed the flowers next to him there.
This seems to be the fifth pot of flowers that Your Majesty has taken away, but every time Lang Jun thinks it is the first pot.
With a temper like Lang Jun's, it's a good thing he was born in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
That night, it snowed heavily, and everyone in Kyoto was sleeping. However, a group of people, holding scimitars in hand, came out of various residences and entered various major mansions with clear goals.
The lace that was carried away by the emperor during the day stepped on each footprint. The man in black disappeared in the darkness, with cold eyes, and quietly approached the house step by step.
They all know that the people living here are the children of high-ranking officials from the Liu Kingdom who are well-dressed and well-fed and have no power to restrain a chicken. The Liu Kingdom people are not good at martial arts. As long as they enter quietly, even if they are wiped out, they will...
"Well--"
There was only time to let out a muffled groan before black figures fell down and landed on the snow.
Their bodies were carried away silently, and the blood stains on the snow were cleaned up. When there were no more traces on the ground and the heavy snow fell again, these people skillfully climbed up the big tree.
In other mansions, the noble disciples who were sleeping well were awakened by the sound of fighting. They panicked at first, and then they all picked up their spears and joined the battle.
Maybe they were still very immature, but fortunately they were protected and at most they suffered some minor injuries.
When people woke up and the lights came on, among the corpses on the ground stood men holding long guns and wearing Chinese clothes.
They watched helplessly as those people climbed over the wall and left. When they finally left, one of them stuffed a sword into their hands.
The men holding spears in one hand and bloody swords in the other looked at their families in bewilderment as they rushed out.
Looking at the blood on the men's hands, the ladies who hurriedly put on their clothes and came out all had hot eyes, and anxiously rushed over to check where the children were injured.
"My son——"
The elders were also helped out wearing cloaks. The first thing they saw was the scimitar lying beside the corpses.
These people are here to kill people.
If it weren't for the husband who practiced martial arts in the family and found out and killed them early, this family would have become ghosts under the sword.
Surrounded by the female elders of the family, the crying husbands looked at the corpses on the ground, feeling as if they were dreaming.
What's going on with those people...
"Before, you said that my son was not doing his job properly. Take a look at it. If my son hadn't killed these people, how would we still be alive?"
"My son, does your hand hurt? Why hasn't the doctor come yet..."
"How dare you commit murder in the imperial city..."
"Fortunately, you killed them in advance..."
Behead...?
Only then did the men remember that they had killed someone.
vomit--
When the vomiting husbands were escorted to the house to wait for the doctor, all the adults in the family who were officials in the court went outside to look at the corpses one by one.
This kind of cleanliness cannot be achieved by children at home who have been practicing for a period of time.
They didn't know why, but several elders in other mansions were shocked and at the same time somewhat understood.
Just think about it for a moment and you will know that these people must be sent from the palace.
And the dead people could tell their identity as Huns just by looking at their machetes. Those Huns were so daring that they actually targeted these children.
The husbands always take no precautions in the yard. Because of their status, these old guys are always surrounded by guards.
If he wanted to attack, it would be easy to attack Xiao Langjun.
If it weren't for today, their descendants would...
Although His Majesty is now in court, his temperament is pure. Who could have predicted this? It must have been the instructions of the Prime Minister.
From this point of view, His Majesty recommended the young man to practice martial arts, and the Prime Minister must have guessed that the Huns would attack these children.
But how did he guess it?
Several elders stayed up all night and made calculations repeatedly, but no matter how they calculated, they could not figure out how Prime Minister Zhao accurately concluded that these Huns would come to Beijing to commit murder in the calm.
When he went to court the next day, word spread that thieves had entered the homes of several dignitaries in the court. Prime Minister Zhao had a good dream last night. How could he have imagined that such a thing had happened? He was so shocked that he quickly went to ask some friends about their homes. But something happened.
The original guesses of several old ministers were settled after hearing that there were no thieves in Prime Minister Zhao's house.
He is the prime minister, how could there be no thieves?
This is a cover-up.
Thinking that if the Prime Minister hadn't noticed in advance and sent someone down from the palace, the children and grandchildren in the family would be harmed this time, and they would probably lose half their lives, so they unknowingly let go of their resentment towards the Prime Minister who secretly taught His Majesty without telling them.
They all smiled freely at Prime Minister Zhao, with gratitude that only a few of them knew.
After laughing, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart when I saw Prime Minister Zhao's expression of inexplicable laughter.
He looked like he didn't know about this.
He is as wise as a demon. With such a prime minister, there is no need to worry about the prosperity of the Liu Kingdom.
