Chapter 501 No Salt

is only a hundred horses, but the momentum is more amazing than all the previous performances, whistling past the front of the building, and cutting into the straw man formation in a blink of an eye.

Shi Wei's wrist swing angle, fast horse speed and sharp riding knife easily cut off the straw man blocking the road ahead.

The cavalry behind him didn't have this skill, most of them could only catch one or two, and some even passed through the straw man formation, and the long knives in their hands were not opened.

However, the formation of the cavalry concentrated charge really opened the eyes of the Bianjing people, after the cavalry charged, most of the straw men were broken into two, and the few were also knocked into pieces.

The spectators on the circle of colorful sheds cheered in unison: "Good-"

Shi Wei led the team to the front of the building, gathered the knives and stood side by side, the drums beat together, threw himself off the horse, held the bow and arrow in one hand, and held the reins in the other.

The drums restarted, and the hundred horsemen remounted their horses, and once again galloped towards the straw man formation, controlling the horses with their legs, encircling and shooting, and soon shot the remaining targets like flowering pear trees.

In the end, the hundred horsemen scattered, and the five female horsemen and Shi Wei rode after each other, constantly throwing the grass tray into the air in their hands.

The grass tray rose and fell, Shi Wei opened the bow left and right on the galloping Illuminal Night White, and every time the grass tray rose to the highest point, it was a feather arrow that followed, and shot through it in the blink of an eye.

Hundreds of horsemen shouted in unison: "Wan Sheng!" ”

The onlookers were full of blood and roared: "Wan Sheng!" Wansheng! Wansheng! ”

Zhao Ji couldn't help but applaud: "Okay! The Tiger Girl of the Shi Family deserves her real name! ”

Many officials secretly glanced at Su You, no wonder Su Tanhua was so happy that he didn't dare to take a concubine, and he had never heard of any scandals.

If you don't obey this, I'm afraid you'll be hung upside down and beaten......

After the female soldiers of the Miao Court retreated, there were two polo games, one was a flower head, two teams of red and green brocade jackets, ragged belts, silk shoes, and donkeys with carved saddle flowers, which were called "small fights"; One is decorated with pearls and emeralds, jade with red boots, and chased by each cross-pony, which is called a "big fight".

After that, the opening ceremony was over, and everyone went back to their respective homes to find their own mothers.

However, the ceremonies of the imperial court are not over, and Zhao Ji wants to move the shooting hall next to him to shoot the bow in person, in order to show that he will not forget the meaning of military weapons.

There are also patterns in archery, there are more than 20 people in the archery class in front of the battlements, all of them have long legs, purple embroidery wipes the forehead, purple wide shirts, yellow Yi ragged, goose wings stand in rows.

Zhao Ji pulled out the bow with one stone and two buckets, the imperial arrow was shot, and the arrow team danced in unison, until the flag was closed and reopened, and the arrow was already inserted on the arrow target.

In the midst of the loud applause of the ministers, a person stood out in front of the target, with a silver bowl on his head, shoulders, and hands.

Zhao Ji drew his bow again, but this time the arrow was blocked by the person who received the arrow on the opposite side.

Then there were five more arrows, and the people on the other side caught them one by one, the most exaggerated one, jumped up and lowered his head, and took them with the silver bowl above his head.

Zhao Ji's face was a little displeased.

Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Brother Huang, can you still find the arrow messenger this time?" If you don't pull an arrow, is it a reward? ”

Zhao Hao glanced at Zhao Hao deeply: "King Qi is really bothered. ”

Zhao Hao said with a smile: "Don't dare to praise Brother Lao, this is the duty of the younger brother." ”

Zhao Ji took a deep breath: "Kind of friendship! ”

Chong Yi was on duty outside the hall, and when he heard the words, he ran in and saluted on one knee: "Your Majesty, what are your orders?" ”

Zhao Ji raised his chin at the arrow envoy opposite.

Chongyi bowed: "Take the order!" ”

Soon, Chongyi took a strange artifact inlaid with gold and silver, which looked like a crossbow but had no crossbow arm, and there was an extra long pipe in front of him, so he saw that he stuffed something into the pipe, and then pressed the bolt tightly, raised his hand to aim, and then pulled the trigger.

With a crisp sound of "bang", the ministers were all startled, and the silver bowl on the head of the arrow messenger on the opposite side was suddenly shattered.

The baby was terrified, her arms fluttering, her feet scurrying like headless flies, and it was easy for this thing to take his life.

Regardless of it, he played it like no one around, skillfully flicked it, took aim, and pulled the trigger again.

No matter how the messenger fled and dodged, with every sound, a silver bowl was shattered.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

Every time it sounded, the ministers twitched, and Zhao Hao's face turned whiter and paler every time.

After five rounds, the man's body was already empty, Chongyi put away the gun, turned around and stood upright: "Your Majesty, the target is eliminated, please pay the order!" ”

Zhao Ji smiled and waved his hand in a chic manner: "Go down!" ”

"Yes!" Chong Yi was expressionless, stood upright with his gun, clenched his left hand into a fist on his right chest, and after a gun-holding salute, he turned to leave.

Looking at Zhao Hao's white-faced face, Zhao Hao said: "The messenger found by the emperor's brother is indeed good, be rewarded!" Go down and receive a reward of ten taels of silver. ”

The guards stepped forward and dragged the messenger, who had collapsed to the ground in fright.

Zhao Ji also ignored his younger brother, turned around and went back to the main hall, the banquet over there should have been arranged.

Zhao Hao glanced up at Zhao Hao's back, and quickly lowered his eyes to follow.

In the Baojin Building, the banquet has been prepared, and the ministers have a few cases in front of each of them, on which are placed water rice, cold water mung beans, snail meat, Rao plum wine, check slices, apricot slices, plums, fragrant herbs and crispy plums, rotary cut fish belly, herring, salt duck eggs, miscellaneous and spicy vegetables, and fish lotus fruits.

Jinmingchi's snail meat and rotary cut fish are famous, and Zhao Ji first tasted the fish belly.

The thin pile of fish is cut into the shape of a peony, which is very beautiful, and it is dipped in green garlic mustard juice and put in the mouth, and the taste is ......

Zhao Ji frowned, almost vomiting out of the fishy smell.

With a similar expression, there is also a minister.

However, most people can be regarded as giving Zhao Ji face, compared to Zeng Gongliang and Sima Guang, who frowned and swallowed hard.

Su You is not very interested in these things, it is not sea fish, he does not eat sashimi, and those quacky parasites are afraid when he thinks about it.

However, someone made a fuss and slapped the chopsticks: "What's the matter?" Not salty at all! These dishes, no salt! ”

The ministers suddenly started to talk about it, this is a major mistake, but I don't know why His Majesty didn't have a seizure, but it made Zhao Zongge, the Duke of the Kingdom of Qiu, make a fuss.

Zhao Ji put down his chopsticks, turned his head and asked, "Where is this banquet held?" ”

Wang Zhongzheng was frightened: "Your Majesty, it's the Chi Yuan, I'll announce Governor Liu Chunzhong?" ”

Zhao Ji looked at the ministers, then at Zhao Zongge, and finally at Zhao Hao, and said expressionlessly: "This is someone who wants to be a direct minister, so let's announce it." ”

Wang Zhongzheng can't wait to give himself a mouthful, it seems that something big is going to happen, His Majesty asked where to undertake his own honest answer, why do you talk too much?

Soon, Chi Yuan's knowledge arrived, and the little green-robed steward was still an internal envoy, but his face was resolute and decisive: "Minister, Liu Chunzhong, Governor of Jin Mingchi, meet Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Ji took a towel and wiped his hands: "Governor Liu, the dispatch is done well, the officials and the people are full of interest today, except for forgetting to put salt in the dish at the end, everything else is very good." ”

Liu Chunzhong arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister wants Your Majesty to know that the people of Bianjing City are now suffering from life and death!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the temple was in an uproar!

Sima Guang got up and lined up: "Your Majesty, the old example of the national dynasty, on March 1, Jinmingchi was opened to the people, and some Taiwanese admonishments thought that the royal family had lost its dignity, so Emperor Taizong issued an edict that year, and on March 1st, he did not accept Taiwanese admonitions. ”

"Liu Chunzhong is a little small, he has no qualifications to advise, he is acting recklessly, begging His Majesty to reprimand him!"

"Presumptuous!" A voice sounded, it was Zhao Zongge: "Sima Guang! The imperial court set up a gold skull and set up a drum, but it is not a doctor who can speak! Do you want the people of the Great Song Dynasty to follow the road and let the world refer to Your Majesty as the king? ”

After speaking, he got up and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister heard a sentence that the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband." Liu Chunzhong must have a suggestion, please give him a chance. ”

Su You couldn't sit still at this time, so he had to get up: "Eh, Your Majesty, this is for the minister." Since Liu Chunzhong has done this, it can be regarded as the East, and he is pure all the way. Your Majesty may wish to show magnanimity, and when you have heard it, you will discern the fault and then deal with it. ”

Zhao Ji nodded: "Then let's talk about it, let me hear it, what is the reason for not putting salt in the banquet meals." ”

Liu Chunzhong lifted his robe and knelt down with a puff: "Your Majesty!" Recently, the price of salt in Beijing has risen three times a day, and it has been as high as 50 wen a catty! In the market, salted fish and soy sauce are all robbed. What kind of bank's discussion has caused the market to be restless, and the people are uneasy! ”

"Your Majesty has a handful of fish, and it is still difficult to swallow, but the poor people of Bianjing have not tasted salt for many days! All of them are greedy for merit and want to trap Your Majesty in injustice! I hope that Your Majesty will be a virtuous minister, far from the villain, sympathetic to the people, and restore the old system! ”
