I took out a black-and-white book from three years ago from my arms, and turned to the page detailing the battle in front of the imperial court three years ago. Here we can explain in detail the importance of the imperial contest, as well as its traditional meaning.
The imperial competition has always been a method for the kings of the dynasty to promote warriors and select talents. Since the establishment of the Six God Machine List, the practice of this imperial competition has been maintained.
Many people compared this imperial competition with the peerless battle between Feiyu, Qinglin and Yinglong. Although the importance is far from the martial arts of the people involved, they are quite similar in some senses. The same is the imperial competition, and the same is the selection of talents for the imperial court. The difference is that the three of Juefeng are fighting for the best in the world, while the ordinary imperial competition is for the chance to stand out.
A samurai who wins the imperial contest is the equivalent of a high school champion. In addition to being promoted in the official career, even the trajectory of life may be very different.
"Look, it's written on this page."
"Where?"
I pointed to that page and read it to Su Xiao.
Three years ago, that was the last imperial competition. There is a dear friend who beats the elite, the hero of the martial arts, and the heroes of the fight. In one fell swoop, he won the first place in the imperial competition.
The Emperor Longxin was very happy, not only was he promoted to the third level, but he was also very important after that. Not only that, at the end of the competition, the emperor promised to marry the eldest princess in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. On the spot, he was given the title of Jing'an Consort.
"Why is it called Jing'an Consort?"
"You don't know?" I rolled my eyes at Su Xiao and said angrily: "Because the eldest princess was sealed as Princess Jing'an, her consort is naturally the consort of Jing'an."
Su Xiao nodded: "So the princess is called Li Jingan."
"What you said...is true."
Speaking of which, I have to say that our emperor is actually quite careless. Generally speaking, only a few people can hear the princess's boudoir name. But our emperor directly used the princess' name as a title and announced it to the world. So the name of Princess Jing'an is known all over the world...
Su Xiao listened to me and nodded his head. Hearing this part widen his eyes, he said, "So if you win, you can still marry the princess?"
"It's so fast to get to the Dragon Gate, that's why the imperial competition will be unprecedented." I closed my eyes slightly and said, "That's why. The four of us are only so focused on the task. But this is a rare encounter for others in a lifetime. , of course, the degree of desperateness is different. You also have to be careful. When encountering a desperate Saburo, do not fight with others. If you lose, you can't die, and if you die, you have to lose. This kind of business is not worth it. "
Su Xiao nodded like garlic and smiled: "I don't know what rewards will be given to those who win this time. The princess was awarded last time, so this time the prize should not be weak, right?"
It's impossible to say.
Speaking of which, the emperor didn't seem to say what the dowry was this time. Are you going to marry the princess again
I do the math... The emperor has three daughters, the eldest princess is married, the second princess and the third princess are waiting in the boudoir, if the emperor can't think of it, it's really possible.
"Maybe marry the princess again."
"real?"
"Then I have to try hard."
"It's not difficult for me! I want the emperor to see my strengths!"
Why are there so many answers all of a sudden? !
When I saw seven or eight people I didn't know standing behind me, I listened with interest. Take a closer look, these are the samurai who will participate in the finals in a while, and they don't even know the value of the imperial competition. Are you serious
A dear friend still committed: "Brother, do you think I have a show to marry the princess?"
how could I know!
You are doing wool! Why are you all coming together!
Chapter 8 Brother Orange and the Father
Hall of Peace.
This is a palace in the Forbidden City. It is a place for royal family members to gather and do some relaxing communication activities. Usually presided over by the emperor, princes and princesses, concubines in the harem, and relatives of the royal family will gather here.
Although the emperor was busy, he still took out a few days each month to reunite with his family to enjoy his family.
Perhaps it was because the Six Dragons locked the country that he lost the chance to get along with Aier, and the emperor cherished the flesh-and-blood relationship.
In addition to the six princes, there are still three princesses under the emperor's knees.
The emperor seems to have poured all the love for his sons into these three beloved daughters, and he is obedient to the three princesses.
For example, the martial arts of this dynasty was very strong, and there were few princes and princesses who didn’t practice martial arts. If an active prince wanted to enter the arena to experience it, although the emperor was not easy to open his mouth, he would still acquiesce in his heart. But no matter how outrageous it is, there is no way that the princess can enter and leave the rivers and lakes.
It is my Yuan Shengdi who started this. The second princess is fond of martial arts, especially good at swordsmanship, so she begged the emperor to find a famous teacher in the martial arts to learn the art. The emperor could not entangle her, so she let her join a sect anonymously. This grace, even the princes have never had.
It can be said that since the emperors of the past dynasties, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty can be called the first daughter to control.
It is a pity that there are such lively activities in the palace now that the eldest princess is married and lives outside the palace with her husband. The second princess heard that she was on her way home with a martial arts mastery, but she hasn't seen anyone yet, and probably won't be able to arrive today. The three princesses have always disliked martial arts, and did not give the emperor a favor at all.
After a good competition in front of the imperial court, Yuan Shengdi, who was controlled by his daughter, did not have a daughter to accompany him, and he was really embarrassed.
The emperor sat alone in the Hall of Peace and waited for his family to arrive before setting off to watch the first competition together. But Zuo couldn't wait and couldn't wait, and after a long time someone finally entered the hall.
I saw a tall and beautiful young man walking into the Hall of Peace, dressed in orange, with a class of elegance in his grace, and he was handsome and handsome.
The Orange King stepped into the Hall of Peace, stopped five steps away from the emperor, and saluted, "My son sees the father and emperor." This salute was also graceful and just right. The faces of the little palace maids in the hall were blushing, and if it were not for the emperor, they would almost hide their faces and scream.
The six princes of this dynasty have their own strengths, but when it comes to being elegant and handsome, they are still the orange kings.
The Orange King inherited the Li family's natural broad bones, broad shoulders and thick back, and naturally tall and straight. His brows and eyes resembled his father's heroic spirit, and his eyes were piercing. But the emperor has a national character face, solemn and solemn, but the orange king's face is a melon face, more like the empress. Although the majesty is not enough, but the beauty is more than one step better than the emperor.
The emperor couldn't help smiling when he saw the reaction of several little palace maids, and was proud in his heart: after all, it's my son, and that's how it's on the table, it's pompous!
The Orange King made a lot of mistakes, but the emperor still loves him so much, and outsiders may be surprised. But it's not a big deal if it's relocated. The emperor watched the six princes grow up and got used to the fact that his son was a troublemaker. Seven years ago, when King Lan was going to be moved to the fief, the arrogant boy had gathered three thousand people and threatened to enter the palace, but in less than an hour, Yan Shisan was brought to pacify.
Although the Blue King did not cause any damage, in the end it was a crime of the first degree - even though the pole was not lifted. At that time, the emperor let it go, not to mention that the orange king was just embezzlement and bribery.
The emperor said warmly: "Cheng'er, you are still here."
The Orange King looked at the empty Ping An Palace, and said 'surprise', "Haven't the Queen Mother and the concubines arrived yet?" The failure of the Queen and the concubines of the harem to come was naturally arranged by the Orange King deliberately. He instructed his subordinates to inform the harem that the competition would not start until two hours later. At the moment, the concubines are still taking beauty sleep.
"Let's go, let's talk on the road."
The emperor pulled up the orange king, and the two father and son went out side by side. In the front, the master of Qilinwei opened the way, followed by a group of eunuchs and palace maids, and the group marched to Feiyuping.
"Hey, the queen mother and Chi'er went to the Purple Holy Mountain and didn't return. Your mother is used to being late again. Hahahaha." The emperor laughed heartily: "Your uncle has always been unreliable, and it seems that it will be late. It seems that only Our grandfather left together."
The Orange King nodded naturally: "Yes."
There are actually quite a few family members of the emperor.
In addition to the seven princes, three princesses and one concubines. The Empress Dowager is still alive, and the Queen's younger brother, Uncle Guo, is also very close to the royal family. Such an event has never been missed.
It's just that the queen mother believes in Taoism, and she goes to the Zisheng Mountain in Taoism at this time every year to make sacrifices to the sky. In order to ask the Taoist ancestors to protect the country of our dynasty for a long time, the people are well-fed and clothed. Her old man brought the Red King and the national teacher with him, and he should have arrived at the destination at this moment. Naturally no time to return.
Uncle Guo is playful by nature, maybe he was delayed somewhere. Seeing that there was not much time left, the emperor had to go one step ahead with the orange king.
The emperor strode forward, and the orange king followed suit. The atmosphere didn't dare to breathe much, and seemed quite nervous. The emperor glanced at his son and said with a smile: "Cheng'er, are you still thinking about the account book?"
