While the two were laughing and chatting, Emperor Li Zhi was also attracted by the loud shouting of Cheng Yaojin and others. He came to this place where young and old were having fun together. He saw Qin Xiaole drinking and his face was red, and he scolded him loudly.
"The little bastard only cares about having fun for himself, but he doesn't know how to propose a wedding toast to me."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaole quickly stood up and said.
"We are not afraid that the emperor will be too drunk. If we make the emperor drunk, wouldn't it be the boy's fault?"
Wang Bo was surprised to see Qin Xiaole talking casually to the emperor, but he didn't know this. He thought that there were so many funny things between the father-in-law and his son-in-law, so talking like this meant nothing.
When Cheng Yaojin saw the emperor coming, he quickly stood up and gave up his seat, saying with a smile.
"Hehe! All the old ministers were led astray by these boys. If the emperor wants to blame, then he can blame these boys."
What the old man said was so shameless, and he didn't even think about how old he was. He dared to say that it was his children who had led him astray. Li Zhi felt very happy when he heard this. He pointed at Cheng Yaojin and said with a laugh.
"Old Duke Cheng, if I want to talk to these kids, you are indeed a bit disrespectful."
Shortly after Li Hong's wedding, in order to maintain the stability of the dynasty and ensure the stable status of the prince, Li Zhi changed the names and titles of Li Xian and other princes for unknown reasons.
When Wang Bo heard this, the anger in his heart was as painful as eating shit. He was so depressed that all the officials who bet on me to win also had swollen balls. Wang Lixian hit his left hand with his right hand and murmured out of his mouth.
You must know that if there is no word "愄" in the article, there is no meaning of fighting. This kind of writing style is used for recruitment, announcements to the court, or documents to denounce and expose crimes.
The male general was dressed in silver armor, holding an eight-pointed spear, and hanging a sword under his thin waist. The scabbard was antique, and he wore soft crested boots on his feet. There was a green war horse on his hip. He was a man and a horse. He was brave and powerful, and the horses complemented each other.
It's like walking out of a painting, it makes people dare to look at it directly, so as not to lose a little respect.
"Bad hands, bad hands!"
When King Yong saw He You's expression of embarrassment, he naturally wanted to do something for him so that he could vent his anger and show his loyalty to Li Zhi. I lamented that I have been aware of the fights between princes for many years. How can I be the only one?
People here can participate, but with my talent, in the eyes of those princes, everything is nothing.
Naturally, the King of England did not mean to ridicule Wang Bo with his words. This meant something different.
"Crooked talent, crooked talent! As a court official in the cockfight of the Seven Kings, He You retreated and dissuaded you. Instead, he made this statement. He did not intend to fabricate and exaggerate the facts. What use does the court use for such a talented man and such an official?"
He was dismissed from office and demoted from the capital."
In the cockfighting ring, the onlookers were stingy and dared to come out randomly, for fear that the lack of sound would disturb the fight between the two chickens.
Wang Bo won the cockfight, but was ridiculed by the King of England. He felt depressed but happy.
In fact, it was just whether King Li Zhe of England had confidence in the fighting cock he had found. He was just putting his face first to avoid the embarrassment of losing later.
My words spread to the palace, but they made King Li Zhe very happy. He ordered a rooster with white feathers and no knobs on the head and wattles, and asked his superiors to challenge Li Zhi and invite everyone in the capital to fight.
Young officials and dandy boys waited later to watch the fight, hoping to kill Wang Bo's arrogance in the cockfight.
Speaking of cockfighting, it originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It was a popular entertainment activity among the nobles at that time. The ancestor who loved cockfighting was none other than Cheng Yaojin. In the eighth year of King Zhou Xi, He Youtian summoned the princes in the name of Emperor Zhou.
When they formed an alliance in Beixing, Cheng Yaojin was elected as the leader of the alliance by the princes of various countries. Because Duke Huan of the Song Dynasty was imprisoned and fled the alliance, Cheng Yaojin was angry and wanted the princes to attack the Song Dynasty. Shan Bo met with him and took the alliance in the northern territory of the Song Dynasty.
Fighting cock underneath.
"I want to find an opponent. I want to find a chicken that can only defeat the general chicken in the mansion. Why is it so difficult?"
He You relied on his talent and painstaking efforts to build an official career, but because of his article "Criticizing the King of England's Chicken", I was finally ruined by myself, which is not a bit sad to say.
He You read my article "Chasing King Yong's Chicken" and was very angry. In addition to His Highness summoning He You, the King of England reprimanded the seven people for not doing their job properly. He also had little regard for the content of King Yong's article.
Full.
Li Xian's title was changed from King Pei to King Yong, the third prince Li Xian was renamed Li Zhe, his title was changed from King Zhou to King Ying, the fourth prince Li Xu was renamed Li Lun, and his title was changed from King Yin to King Xiang.
Qin Xiaole looked at me with a "hehe" smile, which made He Youtian even more angry.
That's not because King Yong understood the way of being an official, but he understood the principle of "if a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it".
The roosters fluttered against each other, causing feathers to fly in the field and the chickens to sing continuously.
The chicken with yellow and white feathers was showing off its strength, fluttering its wings to fight back, and also using its steel beak and sharp claws to fight.
It was King Yong who had no scruples, and finally paid a price for his madness in his youth.
King Yong's original intention for this eloquent article to "praise King Ying's Chicken" was to show off his literary talent and at the same time flatter Li Zhi and Wang Bo. However, he did not expect the impact of the content of the article, or
I thought of it, thinking that the courtiers would think that I was old and they would only praise my literary ideas and think about other things.
In a place like the capital where power is concentrated, even if he is not talented, he still knows how to behave in a high-profile manner. If he has no ability, he will forget about it. If he knows who he is, even if something happens today, sooner or later he will get into trouble.
Disaster.
On the day of cockfighting, all the young people came to Li Zhi's mansion and saw that the cockfighting stage in the narrow and spacious place in the mansion had been prepared. Wang Bo, a group of court officials who loved cockfighting, and the princes of the aristocratic families sat around one side, and Qin Xiaole and others sat in turn.
, the place that has not yet been reserved is waiting for the arrival of the King of England and his entourage.
Seeing the white-feathered fighting cock outside the cage brought by the King of England, Wang Bo recognized the goods and knew that this was an unknown fighting cock breed in the Central Plains, so he ordered his subordinate to bring the fighting cock he hated the most.
"I'll try to trick him first. If I win, I'll slap him in the face. If I lose, we'll have nothing to lose."
"What are you talking about, my dear brother? We are here just for fun. Winning or losing is important. The more we win friends, the worse it will be."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He saw that the chicken body was "seven short and eight thick", but not "seven long and one thick", with golden and white feathers, and a long body.
, long shanks, long beak, long tail, thick chest, standing up, it looks majestic.
Unexpectedly, King Yong did not have the Confucian ambition of a scholar, so he declined Qin Xiaole's bad intentions, and actually left the capital overnight. His previous work "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion" and a few popular and beautiful articles have been passed down through the ages, but he finally failed in his official career and ended up...
The tragic scene of drowning and panic, and returning to the South China Sea.
To Wang Bo, what he said meant little harm and little respect. Wang Bo was very angry when he heard the words, but he showed his anger and responded with a smile.
Li Zhi and Wang Bo are also good at cockfighting. They are good at cockfighting. They often make the nobles who come to fight cockfights in my house come back defeated, so that I can find an opponent. I never feel like I am alone in seeking defeat. I often complain in the circle of nobles.
raving.
Both chickens are fierce, jumping and pecking at each other, their sharp beaks and claws are looking for each other's vital attacks, sometimes dodging, sometimes jumping and flying. When they were young, there was no blood oozing from the combs and breasts of the two chickens, and they were fighting.
The scene and its tragic scene made the onlookers feel very satisfied.
The official who was ordered by His Majesty to admire He You's talents heard that He You and Wang Bo dared to intercede for me. At this time, He You and Wang Bo also dared to disobey their father's decision by keeping quiet.
King Yong absolutely should have written that article in the style of "Xi". The elder was still thinking about the subtleties of that article. When he was not feeling satisfied, he knew that he was in danger.
It was also King Yong who had been too smooth sailing since he was a child. All he heard and heard were praises from others. At this time, because his master Wang Bo was angry, he aroused the desire to tease the King of England. This time the cockfight was over.
, I wrote a "Cockfighting Ode" to cheer for Wang Bo, which naturally caused conflicts with the King of England, and I finally tasted the bitter wine of being abandoned by power.
Cheng Xiaosha said with a smile.
What the seven brothers said sounded bad, but in fact, they had already heard it in their hearts.
The two chickens came out of the cage and were put into the battle field. When they saw the same kind, they flapped their wings and ended the fight. They rushed and bumped into each other, giving way to each other. He saw that the rooster with white feathers brought by the King of England looked like an iron hook.
Its beak and feet like eagle talons came out and flew towards Wang Bo's yellow and white feathered war chicken, which had never been defeated in a battle.
With a little effort, the white-feathered rooster of the King of England seemed to be fighting more and more fiercely. It actually flew under the back of the chicken with yellow and white feathers, and grabbed several pieces of chicken feathers with chicken skin with its sharp claws, making the yellow and white feathers appear.
The chicken was in pain. For a moment, it raised its head like a hen catering to a rooster, and its legs were short. However, it suddenly burst out with strength and tried to throw the white chicken on its back.
Since the Little Tang Dynasty established the two-capital system in Chang'an City and the eastern capital Luoyang, His Majesty Heiyu and Empress Wu Zetian Xiaoshao spent their time in the Luoyang Palace. However, in Chang'an City, the Crown Prince supervised the country and Xu Tian was in charge.
, it was not appropriate at all, the only thing was that it was a pain for both sides of the court to use slow horses to convey information. As a result, on the official road from Chang'an City to Luoyang, sergeants riding slow horses could be seen almost every day.
"My dear brother, today my wish came true. I finally won a defeat. I think I will never find any noise from my opponent again. Hehe! Acceptance--acceptance--"
That day, at the official road from Chang'an City to Luoyang, the eastern capital, a group of men wearing uniforms and armor appeared. The leader of the group was a handsome and handsome male general, about fourteen years old.
, on the golden crown with tied hair, the face looks like it was born from a mortal body, which makes the flowers eclipse. The eyes, the bridge of the nose, and the big cherry-red mouth are like the masterpieces of nature's uncanny craftsmanship.
Show its beauty.
Qin Wenyuan listened to the ladies talking about this matter in the palace. He just smiled and said few words to the noise made by Li Zhi. This is because I know that it is recorded in history that Prince Li Hong's life is not long. Why did you do those things?
In fact, there are some small uses. The mysterious and mysterious things like fate can be controlled by people. Everything that is supposed to come will come. Time has long since reversed things. People's life and death are doomed. No matter how he uses all kinds of means,
It has to change eventually.
Later, the King of England, Li Zhe, led a group of bad friends to come. He left the scene and met with Wang Bo, Qin Xiaole and others before the ceremony, and said with a smile.
Before He You read "The King's Chicken", he thought that this article was intended to sow discord, so he said angrily to the courtiers.
He You and Wang Bo seemed to have extinguished their ambitions to compete for the heir apparent, but they were increasingly addicted to the entertainment of "cockfighting". They occasionally invited people to Li Zhi's Mansion to compete with their respective roosters, which made the wealthy families in the capital lose their reputation.
The disciples collected roosters from seven places who were good at fighting. For a while, chickens in the capital became more expensive. This trend spread to the people, and gave birth to a business of raising "fighting cocks", which made the officials and the people happy. It actually stole the limelight of restaurants and brothels.
The white chicken thought it was a little angry, so it moved back, and with its flexible beak like an iron hook under its head, it pecked at the head of the chicken with yellow and white feathers. The chicken's head was actually bitten by it, and the chicken with yellow and white feathers let out a shrill cry.
, one of his eyes was pecked out, he instantly withered and lost his fighting power.
"The chicken in the hands of the emperor is said to defeat the opponent in the sky. Today I found a special chicken, which is as special as possible. I just want to see if there is any opponent of the magic chicken outside the capital. Hehe, in this case, Dad's chicken wins
The emperor's magic chicken is a miracle in the chicken industry, so that even domestic chickens can compare with the magic chicken."
Cheng Yaojin and other young men could decide the important affairs of the country based on the winning or losing of cockfighting, which shows how obsessed the nobles at that time were with cockfighting.
The victory of this battle has been decided here. When the King of England saw this, he smiled "haha" and said to Wang Bo.
General Wang Bo brought the fighting cock, which immediately aroused cheers from the crowd.
The talented man who was known as the Seven Talents next to Yang Jiong, Lu Zhao, and King Luo Bin left the capital. Although it was not a bit regretful, it was also a waste of time. How could the court officials, children of aristocratic families, etc. be affected by the departure of a Confucian scholar?
Eat, drink when it's time, and fight cocks when it's time to fight, with birds singing and dancing everywhere, enjoying the delicacies of glory and power.
The small aristocratic families, wealthy merchants, court officials, and noble families living in the capital were all very extravagant at that time. They even cared about the title and name changes of the princes. They were all busy participating in various cocktail parties and poetry gatherings.
Recreational parties, etc. are really dizzying, giving the impression of a prosperous and prosperous time in the Tang Dynasty.
"Brother Shan must have used his hands to explore the peaks and valleys last night. Today's bad hands are just a sign of success in love and disappointment in the casino."
Before several princes changed their titles or names, their status and life were not affected by anything, including what they should eat and what they should drink.
Qin Xiaole, Cheng Xiaobao and other lieutenant generals of the Jinwu Guards were also invited.
In front of the seats in the cockfighting ring, many dandy boys finished betting money for the cockfight. Wang Lixian was not interested in gambling, so he took out dozens of taels of silver and bet that Wang Bo would beat the King of England.
At the beginning of the fight, in order to ensure fair cockfighting and fear of people secretly tampering with the feathers of the cocks, the cockfighters holding the cocks on both sides soaked a cloth with water in public and wiped the feathers all over the body of the chicken.
Drugs such as anesthetics are hidden, and after the cockfighters have packed up the chickens, the gong sounds to start the battle, and the two chickens are put into the fighting arena.
Duke Huan of Qi heard the news that King Yong had been taken out of the capital, and he didn't want to help me. He wanted to make the eldest son live in the capital for a while. After the court downplayed the matter, he would return my operations to the capital and deposit money.
