Chapter 34: The Celebration Banquet (II)
At this time, Zhao Xuan said to Gao Yuan: "I didn't see the three people in the second row behind Guo Kai." β
In fact, these three people have long noticed that the one in the middle is wrapped in a cloth towel, with a fierce face, and there is a scar more than three inches long on his left cheek, the person on the left is thin, his cheeks are deep, and his nose is hooked, but his eyes are shining, and the one on the right is not tall, slightly fat, but his face is full of meat, which is very hideous. In short, it doesn't look like a good class, and it was these three people just now, who have been staring at the plateau.
Gao Yuan noticed these three people, not only because of the fierce appearance of these three people, giving people a deep impression, in addition, the table of this kind of banquet is very wide, a table can sit at most six or seven people together, although this kind of banquet does not need to sit so crowded, but a seat will also sit at least four or five people, but in the second row behind Guo Kai, only these three people sit, obviously indicating that these three people have a high status under Guo Kai.
Zhao Xuan said again: "If Guo Kai's people challenge you for a while, it must be one of these three people." β
Gao Yuan said: "Do you know these three people?" β
Zhao Xuan said: "The one in the middle is called Shi Kui, he is a patriot, he was originally a big thief, he has at least twenty or thirty lives in his hands, the thin man on the left is called Ji Qizi, and the short and fat man on the right is called pedestrian nine, these two are from the Song Dynasty, originally born as a bodyguard, but once he saw that his employer had a lot of money, so he killed his employer's family, robbed and fled, and also became a thief. It is very famous in Handan. But not yet"
Gao Yuan said: "It seems that you are very familiar with him!" β
Zhao Xuan said: "These three people are not good things, and in Handan, relying on Guo Kai's power, they have done a lot of bad things, known as the three evils of Handan, I have long wanted to clean up the three of them, but unfortunately I didn't stay in Handan for a long time, so I didn't find a chance, if you meet them, you must not show mercy." However, with your current martial arts, you won't have much chance of winning against any of the three of them, so it's best not to accept their challenge. Find a way to push me out and fight for you. β
Gao Yuan was also a little surprised, he stayed in Zhao Ying for more than three months, and Zhao Jun got along very well, but there was some separation with Zhao Xuan, Gao Yuan could also see that Zhao Xuan was very wary of himself, and later heard Li Yinghong talk about it, only to know that he had just crossed into this time and space, surrounded by the Qin army, and later got the ability from the amulet, and suddenly broke out, killing more than 200 people of the Qin army, Zhao Xuan said that he was too angry at that time. In fact, Gao Yuan himself didn't know what was going on at that time, but during this time, the amulet did not appear abnormal.
However, Gao Yuan also knew that Zhao Xuan's marksmanship was extremely high, and he was defeated by him with one shot at that time, and Gao Yuan had also seen Zhao Xuan command other soldiers to practice spears, and in the entire Zhao army camp, few people could stop him three shots.
It's just that Gao Yuan didn't expect that Zhao Xuan would kindly remind himself now. That's why I felt a little surprised. And Zhao Xuan obviously knew Gao Yuan's thoughts, and said lightly: "I was indeed very wary of you before, and it is the same now, although I also believe that it was not your original intention at that time, but I can't help but take precautions, what if one day, you are angry in the camp of the Zhao army, killing and slashing indiscriminately, but we are now all in the camp of the general, so we still have to be consistent with the outside world, if you fail, it will also affect the reputation of the general." β
Gao Yuan nodded, although he didn't say anything, but he was quite embarrassed in his heart, even if of course he was murderous, but it was also because he was surrounded by the Qin army at that time, if he didn't fight hard, he would die, and even if he was crazy, he wouldn't kill indiscriminately.
At this moment, just listen to "When! The bell rang, and then the sound of silk and bamboo wind music sounded, the hall suddenly approached, all the ministers stood up, only to see a team of scholars open the way, and then the bells, drums, shengqin and other musicians, and then in a team of palace ladies and women, a man wearing a crown of twelve bridles and a gorgeous royal costume walked in from outside the hall. It was Zhao Qian, the king of the Great Zhao at that time.
Behind Zhao Wangqian, he was followed by several other men in fancy clothes, including Zhao Jia, who he met on the street earlier, who was probably a member of the clan of Zhao State.
King Zhao moved to the throne in the middle and sat down, the armor guards his sides and the rear respectively, while several other people entered the seats on either side of him, and Zhao Jia's seat was the first seat on Zhao Qian's left side, showing his high status in the Zhao clan.
At this time, the vocal music stopped, and all the ministers knelt down and saluted to King Zhao, and Gao Yuan could only follow everyone and kneel down and salute King Zhao.
After the ceremony, the ministers returned to the table, Gao Yuan peeked at Zhao Wangqian, saw that he was in his early thirties, and his appearance was four or five points similar to Zhao Jia, but his face was blue, his eyes were dark, and he was obviously overly drunk, Zhao Wangqian said: "This time the Qin State did not measure its own strength, and tried in vain to rely on the strength of the army and invade my Da Zhao, but it was used by my Da Zhao soldiers to kill and defeat, and the troops were demolished, and even the general Huan Qi lost his life. β
When the ministers heard this, they all congratulated Zhao Wangqian, and when the sound stopped for a while, Zhao Wangqian raised the wine jue and said: "Zhongqing, please drink this jue to congratulate me on Zhao's victory over the Qin army." β
All the ministers also raised their wines one after another, and drank all the wine in their cups.
The vocal music started again, and I saw two teams of sixty-four young singers wearing light gauze long skirts, and beautiful and moving young singers walked up to the main hall, dancing and singing with the rhythm of the music.
According to the etiquette law, only Zhou Tianzi can use sixty-four singers to dance the ceremony, called the dance of the heavenly concubines, and the candidates can only use thirty-two singers to dance, and the ministers are even less, only twenty-four people, but in this era of etiquette collapse, no one will respect the etiquette law, let alone other candidate countries, even the powerful ministers use the dance of the Son of Heaven, not to mention that now even the Zhou Dynasty has been destroyed by the Qin State.
I saw this group of singers dancing lightly with long sleeves, and with the dance, they sang in unison:
Tong bow and bow, and hide it. I have a guest, and the center is grateful. The bells and drums are set up, and they are once feasted.
Tong bow and bow, by the word. I have a guest, and the center is happy. The bells and drums are set up, one facing the right.
Tong bow and, by the words. I have guests, and the center is good. The bells and drums are set up, and they are rewarded once.
The music girls sang the song of the [Tong Bow] in the [Book of SongsΓ Yale], which was originally a music and dance performed by Zhou Tianxiao's ministers to celebrate the victory, and after the dance, Zhou Tianxiao would give the meritorious bow like a meritorious soldier to the meritorious minister as a reward.
In fact, the tune of Yale is soothing, the sound is solemn, and many people don't like to listen to Yale, but singing and dancing Yale in formal banquets is a ritual habit handed down from the Zhou Dynasty.
Sure enough, after a dance, Zhao Wangqian said: "This time we were able to defeat the Qin army, it was Li Mu and Sima Shang who used their lives, and the widow should respect the two kings." So he raised the bartender again.
Li Mu and Sima Shang also hurriedly stood up, also raised the wine jue, and drank a glass with Zhao Wangqian.
Subsequently, Zhao Wangqian ordered that the palace give the two of them 500 gold eridium, give Quyang County as Li Mu's fiefdom, and give Sima Shang 3,000 households. Li Mu was originally awarded the title of Wu Anjun, with 5,000 households. However, the fief is different from the eup, the minister only has the power to levy taxes on the eup, and the fief is equivalent to a small prince, who can not only set taxes, but also appoint officials on his own, form an army, and so on. Therefore, in addition to official positions, obtaining fiefs is the highest glory pursued by every subordinate.
The armor brought two boxes of gold on the spot and placed them next to Li Mu and Sima Shang's table. Then the vocal music started again, and the music girl came on the stage again, this time it was not Yale that was played, but Wei Zheng's song, which everyone loved to listen to, the music was beautiful, the rhythm was bright, and the music girl's dancing posture was much faster, and between the skirts flying, she made all kinds of graceful gestures, which also made people dizzy.
After the song, Zhao Wangqian got up again and said, "Plateau." β
Gao Yuan immediately got up and stepped out of the queue and said, "The minister is here." β
Zhao Wang Qian said: "I heard that you descended from the sky with the meteor flint stone to my big Zhao, this time to break Qin, you are the first to make the contribution, kill Huan Qi in the battle, and make great contributions to my Zhao country, which is really a gift from heaven to my big Zhao." It shows that it is the rise of my Great Zhao, it is still the will of heaven, and it is beyond the power of man to resist, and the Qin State is going against the sky, and there is no invincible spirit. β
When the other ministers heard this, they also congratulated Zhao Wangqian one after another.
After the voice stopped for a while, Gao Yuan said: "Breaking the Qin army and killing Huan Qi is still the result of the three armies fighting together, and it is not the work of one minister, so the minister does not dare to privately receive the merits of the war and win the merits of other soldiers." To the ministers falling from the sky with the meteors, it is still an accident, the minister is a mortal, no different from ordinary people, and has nothing to do with the will of heaven. As he spoke, he repeated the words that had been made up and blew by the strong wind.
After Zhao Wangqian heard this, his face was also a little embarrassed, at this moment, behind Guo Kai, Shi Kui stood up and said: "The king, the minister thinks that the plateau is still pretending to be the will of heaven and deceiving the king, and the minister is not talented, and he is willing to compete with the plateau as a palace. β
When the ministers heard this, they were all shocked, although Shi Kui's words were only aimed at Gao Yuan, but if it was determined that Gao Yuan was deceiving Zhao Wangqian, then Li Mu was also guilty of bullying the king. Because the deeds of the plateau were reported to Zhao Wangqian by Li Mu.
Zhao Wangqian listened, and there was nothing unusual, in fact, this was the idea that Guo Kai gave him yesterday, let Shi Kui and Gao Yuan compete, if Gao Yuan really came to the world, then he would definitely not lose to Shi Kui, so Gao Yuan was defeated, it proved that he was real, and if he lost, it was proved that it was fake. Zhao Wangqian also felt that this method was good, so he turned to the plateau and said: "Plateau, Shi Kui wants to compete with you, do you dare to fight?" β
Although Li Mu and Zhao Xuan have both reminded Gao Yuan not to accept the challenge of Guo Kai and his gang lightly, but on the occasion in front of him, Gao Yuan is not allowed to refuse, and in Gao Yuan's heart, he is somewhat unconvinced, and he also wants to see how clever the swordsmanship of this era is, so he said: "Returning to the king, the minister is willing to face the battle and compete with Shi Kui in the palace." β
Zhao Wangqian listened, nodded as well, and said, "Okay, then prepare for the competition." β
