"The official is really kind. Changing the morning time to Chenshi saves everyone from having to get up in the middle of the night. You are really a wise king through the ages!"

Wu Ge couldn't understand Fan Qiong's flattery to Li Yan. Courtiers should be upright, courtiers should speak uprightly, courtiers should fulfill their duties, courtiers should...

Wu Ge has a lot of theory about being a good minister, but unfortunately he has never had a chance to use it!
Wu Ge felt that God was unfair to him, so why didn't he give him a chance to stand out?
"Switching to Liaodong King, will I have a chance to prove myself?" Wu Ge couldn't help thinking.

But soon, Wu Ge put out this thought that shouldn't have, and hypnotized himself: "I am a subject of the Song Dynasty, our Wu family has been favored by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, whoever surrendered, and I, Wu Ge, did not surrender... "

As for Li Yan’s formula, morning court at Chenshi, morning court on the fifth day and two days off (the seven days below the fifth rank is enough to come once on Monday, and those above the fifth rank come to court every day from Monday to Friday), every year. During the two long holidays in winter and summer, Wu Ge was very uncomfortable.

This is not only related to Wu Ge's own problems, but also related to the conflict between the system formulated by Li Yan and the original Song Dynasty system.

There were roughly three types of court meetings in the Song Dynasty:

Daqing Hall Grand Court Meeting - generally held at the time of Zhengdan and state-owned events;
The Chuigong Hall is allowed to participate in important officials below the prime minister, and there are often important affairs to be played-the court is a kind of daily court meeting. The emperor accepts Zhongshu, Privy Council, Sansi, Kaifeng Mansion, Trial Court, Official's performance;
Wende Hall Changchao—Changchao is the Changchao meeting held by the Chang Shenguan in the Wende Hall. The emperor does not attend, but just takes a formality.Generally, after the court meeting in the Chuigong Hall, the prime minister goes to the Wende Hall to announce the edict, and the officials line up.If it is announced that the emperor will not sit in court, the court will be released immediately, that is, the court will end.

Therefore, don't look at Li Yan's copying of the rest system of later generations, and still very humanely allowing the early court at [-] o'clock in the morning, but compared with the system of the Northern Song Dynasty, it is still a bit harsh.

but--

Although Wu Ge didn't adapt to the system formulated by Li Yan, it wasn't that he couldn't accept it.

First of all, now is an extraordinary period, and it is impossible to do it. Song Huizong's period was so loose.

Secondly, all dynasties have always tightened first and then loosened. Take the Song Dynasty as an example. In the early Song Dynasty, especially during Zhao Kuangyi's reign, they had to go to the morning court every day, which made the ministers at that time complain, and then gradually relaxed. , In the period of Song Huizong, sometimes he did not go to court for a month or two.

Although Wu Ge ignored Fan Qiong, Fan Qiong, who was in a good mood, persisted in bothering Wu Ge. He had nothing to say: "Wu Xuanzan, why do you think the officials asked us to go to the martial arts arena?"

Wu Ge was also a little puzzled, but he still ignored Fan Qiong.

Seeing that Wu Ge ignored him, Fan Qiong inquired with the servant who led the way for them: "Master Xiang, I don't know..."

Chief Xiang interrupted Fan Qiong and said, "General Fan, I would like to advise you, this is not something you should ask, please don't ask."

In front of the prime minister's door, there is still a third-rank official, what's more, this cabinet chief is still Li Yan's servant?

Fan Qiong quickly apologized, saying: "Yes, yes, young general Meng Lang!" Then he didn't dare to say any more, and followed Chief Xiang to the martial arts arena obediently.

As soon as they arrived at the martial arts field, Fan Qiong and Wu Ge saw an acquaintance.

Wu Ge, who always had his eyes above his head, saw this person, and said differently: "Why is Wang Yesha here?"

Wang Yecha, whose real name is Wang De, enlisted in the army with bravery, and later belonged to Yao Gu's subordinates.

The Jin army invaded, and Yao Gu stationed his troops between Huai and Ze, and sent Wang De to reconnaissance.

Wang De beheaded a leader of the Jin army and returned.

Yao Gu asked: "Can I go again?"

Wang De led [-] cavalrymen straight into Longde Mansion and captured Yao Taishi, the prefect appointed by the Jin Army, alive.

The enemy troops went to intercept them, and Wang De killed dozens of people with his own hands.

The enemy was terrified, and no one dared to go forward.

Yao Gu sent Grand Master Yao to the court. Zhao Huan asked about Grand Master Yao. Grand Master Yao said, "When I was captured, I only saw a Yaksha."

Since then, Wang De has been nicknamed "Wang Yecha".

It stands to reason that Wang De should be in Hedong or Hebei now, why is he here?

Far away, Fan Qiong and Wu Ge could see Wang De was staring at something intently.

Fan Qiong and Wu Ge were also curious about the things that could attract Wang Yecha!

Fan Qiong and Wu Ge hurriedly took two steps, wanting to see what caught Wang Yecha's attention?

Soon, Fan Qiong and Wu Ge saw six stone tripods continuously flying up in the air, and then falling down again.

Fan Qiong and Wu Ge recognized it quickly. This was the imitation of the six of the nine tripods in the martial arts arena. Each statue weighed six to seven hundred catties, and even three or five strong men could not lift it up.

How could such a heavy stone tripod fly, and it kept flying repeatedly?
With this deep question, Fan Qiong and Wu Ge came to Wang De's side, and then they saw an incredible scene!
I saw a young man, holding a long black coiled dragon stick, picking up the stone tripods that three or five strong men couldn't lift one by one.

Judging from this, the young man probably wanted to lift the nine stone tripods into the air so that none of them would fall to the ground.

But after the young man picked up the six stone tripods, he couldn't pick up the seventh one - as soon as he picked up the seventh one, one stone tripod would fall to the ground.

But even so, the eyeballs of Fan Qiong and Wu Ge almost popped out!
From their point of view, no, from their point of view, this is simply not something humans can do.

It is not hard to find a strong man who can withstand the stone tripod weighing six to seven hundred catties. If he throws the tripod and catches it, he should be able to find one or two. The six stone tripods were lifted up with long sticks so that none of them fell to the ground. I am afraid that there is only one person in this world.

And, don't forget, these stone tripods are not only heavy, but also made of stone, if you are not careful, they will break.

Being able to lift the six stone tripods into the air, and control them all to not break or fall to the ground, requires extremely high strength, explosive power, endurance, eyesight, and control. There is no one in a million who can do one of them. Not to mention both?

What made Fan Qiong and Wu Ge even more unbelievable was that this young man turned out to be Li Yan—the new emperor Li Yan!
Fan Qiong and Wu Ge swallowed their saliva at the same time, thinking at the same time: "People in Shuibo Liangshan all say that the official/King of Liaodong is the best military general in the world. I only know today, and this statement is not false at all."

Li Yan tried for a while, but still failed to pick up the seventh stone tripod, so he put down the six stone tripods one by one with a stick.

When the six stone tripods fell to the ground, there was no sound at all.

Li Yan perfectly explained what it means to "lift weights like light"!
Seeing that Li Yan had stopped, Xu Guanzhong, who had just come over, and four Taoists who had been standing aside for a long time came up to meet him.

There was still some distance away from Li Yan, a Taoist who was only in his thirties, said: "The officials are really talented, and in just a few short years, they have already cultivated both internally and externally and almost reached the legendary level. The realm of the unity of man and nature, if only by force, I am afraid that Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao will not be the opponents of the officials."

Li Yan let out a foul breath, and said without blushing, "Don't flatter Yu Lian, Zhang Tianshi, Lian is still not enough, even Qiding can't control it."

Zhang Tianshi, that is, Zhang Jixian, the contemporary Tianshi of Longhu Mountain, said: "That's because the officials are safe, and they don't want to take risks, otherwise the officials should be able to control Qiding."

Fan Qiong, Wu Ge, including Wang De, who were standing in the distance, realized that that was not Li Yan's limit just now.

Li Yan didn't expect that Zhang Jixian was so young, but his eyes were so vicious, and he could tell at a glance that he hadn't tried his best.

Li Yan looked at the other three celestial masters again, and said in his heart: "These three guys are as famous as Zhang Jixian, so it's not much different if you think about it, um...you have to extract more good things from them."

These four contemporary celestial masters are also part of Zhao Ji's legacy to Li Yan, and Li Yan has incorporated them into his health care team.

but--

Keeping in good health is not something that happens overnight, and you can't be addicted to it. If you are addicted to it, you will become a king of subjugation just like Zhao Ji, and your wife and daughter will become other people's playthings.

Therefore, Li Yan looked at Zhang Jixian with a noncommittal smile, passed Zhang Jixian to look at Xu Guanzhong, and said: "I couldn't even wait for the morning court, so I came to the martial arts field to look for me. It seems that something is not small, so tell me, what happened? gone?"

After Xu Guanzhong heard the words, he hurried forward and said: "Officials, the Jin Army and the Song Army may join forces."
