Great Zhou Empire: Kill Zhao Kuangyin at the beginning

Chapter 5: Check Zhao Kuangyin

Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said: "Your Majesty has called me to teach martial arts, and I will serve you.

Although your Majesty is young, he has the style of the late emperor to organize the army and practice martial arts. He is really a blessing to our great Zhou Dynasty!
Mr. Tang, please wait a moment. "

After Zhao Kuangyin ordered his personal guards at home to collect many treasures, he personally ordered 300 confidants of the Forbidden Army to come to the mansion, and then followed Tang Qi and his party to the palace.

After Tang Qi left the palace, Chai Zongxun immediately summoned 20 martial arts young men including Han Tong and Zhang Yong, the deputy commander of the bodyguard and army.

After seeing the ceremony, Chai Zongxun said:

"I have heard that the founding lord Zhao Kuangyin was extremely skilled in martial arts, and today I want to see with my own eyes just how powerful he is.

Han Aiqing, I will make an appointment with Zhao Kuangyin later to come to the Xingwu Hall to compete in martial arts. In order to prevent this matter from spreading to the court and the people, it will be said that I like to play and it will damage my reputation.

After Zhao Kuangyin enters the Xingwu Hall, you quickly lead a thousand forbidden troops to surround the Xingwu Hall to prevent any leakage of the news!

From now on, everything will follow my will! "

Han Tong just thought that the emperor was obsessed with martial arts and really wanted to see Zhao Kuangyin's martial arts. He, a rough man, could not imagine what twists and turns there would be, so he immediately agreed to retreat and make arrangements.

Chai Zongxun looked at Zhang Yong and the other 20 young sparring boys, and said sternly:
"I have praised Haikou to the "Founding Marquis" Zhao Kuangyin. You and the twenty young warriors I have carefully selected are warriors trained by me myself!
Zhao Kuangyin will come to the Xingwu Palace to test your martial arts in a while, and I will let him fight with you.

If we win this battle, you will all be my confidants. In the future, I will arrange for you to be generals of the Forbidden Army, with fertile lands and beauties, and promotions and fortunes!
If I lose this battle, I will lose all my face by you! If it's useless, I will kill all the nine tribes of you! "

The twenty young men were horrified, thinking that they would defeat Zhao Kuangyin no matter what.

Zhang Yong took the lead, and twenty young men knelt down and saluted:
"Your Majesty, please rest assured! The common people and others are determined to defeat Zhao Kuangyin and will never harm His Majesty's holy face!"

Chai Zongxun nodded and shouted:

"Are you ready?"

Everyone agrees.

Chai Zongxun then took the lead, leading the palace servants and twenty young men, and strode towards the Xingwu Palace.

It takes just a cup of tea to reach the Hall of Martial Arts.

After Chai Zongxun sat down on the seat, his heart beat wildly involuntarily, and he quickly comforted himself:
“Today’s action is necessary!

Anyway, if I don't do it, Zhao Da will kill me. If I succeed today, I will make a fortune as an emperor;
If unfortunately it fails, just pretend it was a dream. "

Thinking of this, Chai Zongxun's mood gradually calmed down.

All the eunuchs, maids, and twenty young men stood around Chai Zongxun, silently.

The sky outside the palace gradually turned dark, and the entire palace was lit with lights, which was brilliant and solemn for a while.

Chai Zongxun waited for more than half an hour and finally heard the sound of footsteps approaching the Xingwu Hall.

Finally, the footsteps stopped outside the palace door. Tang Qi, the eunuch in front of the palace, led Zhao Kuangyin into the palace.

The three hundred confidants of the Forbidden Army who came with Zhao Kuangyin were waiting outside the palace gate.

The two of them saluted Chai Zongxun together and said:

"See your majesty! Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"

Chai Zongxun looked at Zhao Kuangyin carefully: he saw that his face was as big as a round cake, his eyes were slender, his eyelids were thick, his nose was low and straight, his lower jaw was wide, and his skin was dark. He thought it was because he had been in the battlefield for a long time.

Chai Zongxun stood up from his chair, helped Zhao Kuangyin up with a smile, and said:
"I love you!
I heard a few days ago that Zhao Aiqing is the most brave warrior in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I hate that Han Tong keeps hiding it from me, saying that he is the most brave warrior in the world!

In Japan, my father also praised Zhao Aiqing for his loyalty and bravery many times, so today I specially ordered Eunuch Tang to invite Aiqing to show me her extraordinary martial arts skills. "

Zhao Kuangyin stood up and felt relieved when he saw Chai Zongxun's face full of admiration:
"Your Majesty is just a child. He is locked in the palace every day and follows the rules, which is inevitably boring. When I was his age, I was looking for people to fight in Zhuo County, visiting teachers and friends, and I wanted to be a great hero with strong martial arts skills. .”

Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said: "Your Majesty praises you, but I am ashamed to deserve it.

Even if His Majesty is willing, I am willing to show His Majesty what I have learned in my life. "

Chai Zongxun smiled and said: "Zhao Aiqing, I am not good at martial arts. I often hear Han Tong boast that his martial arts are superior to yours.

Therefore, I thought of a competition method to prove to Han Tong and other people in the world that Zhao Aiqing is indeed our number one warrior in the Great Zhou Dynasty. "

Seeing Zhao Kuangyin smiling and nodding, Chai Zongxun stretched out his small hand to hold his arm, pulled his body down, leaned close to his ear and said:
"Zhao Aiqing, you know that my mother and the ministers in the court don't like me practicing martial arts, so I specially invited you to come after dark.

Our competition must be conducted quietly, and the news must not be leaked.

Therefore, I asked Deputy Commander Han to enforce martial law here. The queen must not let the queen know about this, otherwise the queen will scold me again. "

As soon as Chai Zongxun finished speaking, there was the sound of footsteps outside the Xingwu Hall. Han Tong, the deputy commander of the guards and the army, had led a thousand forbidden troops to surround the Xingwu Hall and surrounded it heavily.

Zhao Kuangyin's expression changed slightly, and Han Tong quickly walked into the hall to salute Chai Zongxun.

After Chai Zongxun asked Han Tong to stand up, he grabbed the arms of Zhao Kuangyin and Han Tong with both hands and said with a smile:

"Today I want to see with my own eyes, who is the more powerful martial artist, Zhao Aiqing or Han Aiqing, who are famous in our army of Great Zhou Dynasty!

It concerns the reputation of my two beloved ministers in the military, so only I, my two beloved ministers, and twenty young martial arts practitioners were left in the palace. Others left the palace, closed the doors and windows, and were not allowed to watch. "

Han Tong originally thought that Chai Zongxun was recruiting Zhao Kuangyin to compete, so he immediately saluted Zhao Kuangyin and said:
"Zhao Dianjian, your majesty has ordered that I have to boldly ask you for martial arts lessons. Please don't blame Zhao Dianjian!"

Zhao Kuangyin saw Han Tong's troubled expression and immediately felt relieved:
"Han Tong is a rough man who has never done anything false, and His Majesty is only 7 years old. How could he still try to kill me?
Besides, what can Han Tong and these twenty young children do to me? Even Han Tong's thousand forbidden troops outside the palace could not stop the three hundred elites I led.

His Majesty must be obsessed with martial arts recently and wants to see who is more powerful between Han Tong and me.

No matter who wins or loses in this contest, it is indeed not appropriate to spread the news. Your Majesty has thought carefully about it. "

Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said: "Even if your Majesty has an order, I have no choice but to show my embarrassment."

Chai Zongxun looked ecstatic, clapped his hands and said:

"Great! Today I am going to personally see Zhao Aiqing and Han Aiqing's peerless martial arts!

So that I and these twenty young martial arts practitioners can learn well! "

Chai Zongxun looked at Tang Qi, the chief eunuch in front of the palace, and Tang Qi immediately led the eunuchs and maids to close all the doors and windows of the hall and exited the palace.

Chai Zongxun returned to the throne and sat down, with Zhang Yong and other twenty young martial arts practitioners standing behind him.

Zhao Kuangyin and Han Tong stood on the east and west sides of the Xingwu Hall. Because neither of them were allowed to carry weapons when entering the hall to see Emperor Chai Zongxun, they faced off with their bare hands.
