Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 273 Polo Match

"Hey! It's just a polo match, so there's no such thing as filial piety! Don't you even have such a heart? If the Six Rates of the Eastern Palace can win the Imperial Army of the Beiya, I will be happy! It's too late for the Six Rates of the Eastern Palace, the Imperial Army of the Beiya Forget it, won’t they all be Hong’er’s minions in the future? It’s a good thing that the crown prince has such a heart. Although it’s the peace festival, we can’t forget martial arts!” Li Zhi obviously liked his son very much, and he patted Li Hong gently. Head: "I agreed to this matter. Anyway, Jin Aiqing will be back in a few days. Let him practice for you. It will be held on the day of Shangyuan Festival. The winner will be rewarded."

"Thank you, Father!" Li Hong was overjoyed when he heard the words.

"Don't thank me first!" Li Zhi said with a smile: "In this way of governing the country, there are rewards and punishments. If the East Palace loses, they will be fined for one month. The same is true for the Beiya Imperial Army. Let me explain clearly first. That's right, the Beiya Forbidden Army is composed of people who were selected by the late emperor from the Forbidden Army in the Yuan Dynasty to be good at riding and shooting. It has always been a place where heroes from all over the world gather. You still have time!"

"I don't regret it!" Li Hong shook his head: "I will tell the soldiers of the six ranks that if they lose, I will make up for their fines with my own money. If they win, I will also reward them heavily."

"Okay, okay!" Li Zhi said with a smile: "Now there is still some time before the Lantern Festival, Hong'er will go back and let his subordinates practice well, but the outcome is still uncertain!"

"Baby obey the order!" Li Hong knelt down and kowtowed, then stood up and retreated.Seeing the back of his son going away, Li Zhi nodded and said with a smile: "You are ambitious and know people's hearts, you are worthy of being a descendant of my Li family! Meiniang, you have given birth to a good son for me!"

"Dragon sons and grandsons are naturally extraordinary! I dare not take credit for this!" Wu said with a smile.

Li Zhi laughed loudly when he heard the words, but just after laughing a few times, he felt a tingling pain in his temples, and screamed while holding his head. Wu Shi who was on the side was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly hugged Li Zhi in his arms, gently pressing his thumbs Massage, while shouting: "Come here, send the imperial doctor!"

"Meiniang, no need!" Li Zhi gasped for a moment, feeling better: "Let the imperial physician step down!"

"Your Majesty, let the imperial physician take a look at your appearance!" Wu urged in a low voice.

"Hey! The widow has an old problem, so what if the imperial doctor sees it? At most, he will prescribe a nonsensical prescription, and it won't help if you drink it!" Li Zhi sighed: "Let the widow rest for a while!"

"Let the Imperial Physician retreat!" Seeing this, Wu had no choice but to order the maids at the side, and then sobbed to Li Zhi: "After the death of the late Emperor, I wanted to live in the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha in the Ganji Temple, but I didn't want I was wrongly loved by His Majesty, so I had no choice but to return to secular life to serve Your Majesty. But now the holy body is not hesitant, if there is an emergency, what can I do as a concubine!"

"Mei Niang!" Li Zhi patted the back of Wu's hand: "You don't need to worry too much, Hong'er is already 11 years old now, and in six or seven years, if she becomes a weapon, the widow will give way to him , to be the Supreme Emperor in this Daming Palace, let him be the Emperor in Daxing Palace!"

"Ah! This, how is this possible?" Wu Shi looked shocked: "How is this possible? Why do you have such an idea, Your Majesty?"

"What's wrong with this, there are precedents for such a thing in this dynasty!" Li Zhi smiled wryly: "Meiniang, the widow is indeed telling the truth. If people in the world are enthroned as emperors, there are very few people who are willing to abdicate as princes. But the widow is different, if you can hand over the affairs of state to the crown prince, you will be able to travel freely in the forest and spend the rest of your life without the weight of the world, which is a beautiful thing you can only wish for!"

"However, even after six or seven years, Hong'er will only be able to undertake such a big event?"

"At the beginning Wei Dao'er was attacked by bandits in Taiyuan, and the emperor's grandfather was trapped by the bandits when he attacked. The late emperor led a fine cavalry to break through the bandit formation, galloping left and right, rescued the emperor's grandfather, and defeated the bandit army. At that time, the late emperor was only seventeen, more than that At that time, Hong'er was still one year younger!"

"Your Majesty, how can such a comparison be made? The first emperor's prowess has never been seen in ancient times, so how can Hong'er be compared?" Wu said angrily.

"Then there's no need for Hong'er to take the lead and ride a horse to attack now, right? He is now the master of the East Palace, and there are countless heroes who are willing to die for him. As long as he can choose talents and use their abilities, why would the world be in trouble?" Li said. Zhi laughed and said, "Look at Hong'er's temperament, why worry that he can't use the virtuous!"

Wu's heart was secretly happy, but he sighed: "If it is like this, there is no need to be the Supreme Emperor! At most, let Hong'er supervise the country, and you should be the father in charge when encountering important events!"

Li Zhi was already a little sleepy at this time, he yelled: "It's still early, besides, Mei Niang, you have learned very quickly in the past few years, so you can teach Honger more when the time comes!"

"I'll teach Hong'er!"

Li Zhi's words sounded like thunder in Wu's ears. She suddenly realized the fact that if Li Zhi abdicated as the Supreme Emperor and Li Hong ascended the throne as Li Zhi said, then her own empress could only follow Li Zhi's lead. Abdicate together and become the Supreme Queen.If this is the case, the power in his hands will naturally disappear. Thinking of this possibility, Wu Shi feels unspeakable pain in his chest, as if his heart has been hollowed out.

"There are still six years, there are still six years! It's still very early!" Wu said to himself.

Heyang.

The sunrise on the surface of the Yellow River dyes the eastern sky a special golden color.Wang Wenzuo rested his hands on the railing of the ship's side, staring at the gradually spreading light.Dawn crawled over fields and mountains, and the world turned from black to indigo to green at her feet.The turbid rivers slap and beat each other and start their long journey straight to the sea. The heavy and rhythmic chant sound comes from below the deck. It is the oarsmen struggling to paddle, driving the official ship upstream.

"Sanlang, you got up so early!"

Jin Renwen's voice came from behind, Wang Wenzuo hurriedly turned around and bowed in salute: "Maybe it's because the boat was shaking too much, I didn't sleep well, and I woke up early!"

"Same as me!" Jin Renwen held Wang Wenzuo's elbow and pulled him to the railing: "Actually, those of us who are used to fighting can actually sleep soundly on horseback, straw mats, and firewood bundles. It’s safe and sound on the brocade couch, but I can’t fall asleep anyway. If I can’t sleep in Chang’an, I will ask the boy servant to pull a donkey cart out in the middle of the night, lie on the donkey cart, and let him drive the donkey cart. Circle, squeak, squeak, and soon fell asleep!"

"How did this guy develop such a quirk?" Wang Wenzuo secretly slandered, but said with a smile on his face: "The lower officials have not fallen to this level!"

Jin Renwen smiled and leaned on the railing: "Sanlang, look at how magnificent the scenery in the north and south of this big river is. It really is a country in China, and it is not comparable to Baekje, Silla and other countries!"
