Liaozhai Great Sage
Page 887
Therefore, it looks out of place on this court hall, like a green pine in a pile of rotten wood, it has to attract attention.
Li Xiuyuan's gaze finally stayed on Zhao Guan's family, and after a glance, he withdrew his gaze, because it is impolite to stare at a person, let alone an official of the Song Dynasty.
"My minister Li Xiuyuan, governor of Yangzhou, has seen the officials."
He bowed and saluted without showing arrogance or humbleness, his voice was clear and powerful, echoing throughout the Zichen Palace.
Zhao Guanjia also looked at Li Xiuyuan at this moment. Seeing that he was tall and handsome, with the vigor that young people should have, and the calmness and grandeur that ordinary people did not have, they couldn't help liking him a little.
Which emperor doesn't like such a capable, young, and faction-free official?
The only thing to consider is whether it is faithful.
"Li Aiqing is exempt."
Zhao Guanjia smiled and said: "You are really a young talent. I heard that Li Liangjin rebelled and took one city a day. In less than three months, most of Yangzhou has been taken down. There are more than 20 soldiers under his command. He thought Yangzhou was in danger. Now it seems that there are With Li Aiqing here, Yangzhou will not be in danger, you have solved such a big problem for the imperial court, and you have made such contributions, I will not treat you badly."
"Thanks to the official family, but the victory depends on the best efforts of the subordinates. It is also thanks to Zuo Qianhu's desperate defense of the city, otherwise Jinling City will definitely be destroyed by the bandit army." Li Xiuyuan said.
"Who are those two strong men behind? Why doesn't Li Aiqing tell me?"
Seeing Wu Xiang and Han Meng kneeling behind Li Xiuyuan, the Zhao officials couldn't help asking.
Li Xiuyuan said: "This is Wu Xiang, born with supernatural power. During the battle of Jinling City, he alone guarded the city gate and ensured that the city gate was not lost. He made great contributions. This is Han Meng. He is the commander of the army and led a The cavalry chased and killed Li Liangjin, and it was precisely because of his pursuit that Li Liangjin was forced to hide in the deep mountains, and finally all the people deserted and died at the hands of a woodcutter named Jin Dayong."
"This is Li Liangjin's commander-in-chief flag, the golden seal, please have a look at it."
After finishing speaking, he signaled Han Meng to bring a brocade box.
Immediately the eunuch came to open the brocade box and took a look, and only after making sure it was correct did he send it to the Golden Palace.
Zhao Guanjia glanced at it, and immediately clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay, you are really a fierce general, I want to reward you well..."
As soon as the words were uttered, a civil official stood up and said: "Wait a minute, the officials. If the two warriors really have such achievements, they should be commended, but before they were dismissed, I heard from this Lord Li that this Wu Xiang guarded a city gate alone. The rebels were unable to capture the city. This statement is a bit deceitful. You must know that the number of rebels can be as few as twenty or so. Even the rebels who attacked the city gates numbered at least hundreds or even thousands. How could one person guard the city gate? "
After saying this, the other civil servants whispered among themselves and nodded.
"Officials, there are indeed doubts about this matter. I am afraid that Master Li intentionally lied about his military achievements."
"I also feel that this matter is not credible."
These civil servants thought they had caught a little bit of mistakes in their words, so they didn't let them go.
Mr. Yang is not moving at the moment, let other civil servants take care of these little people, and he only needs to concentrate on dealing with Li Xiuyuan.
At this moment, the third prince, Zhao Jing, stood up and said a good word; "Father, since Master Li said that Wu Xiang is defending the city alone, he must have extraordinary force. If Father doesn't believe it, why not try it?"
"That's right, Li Aiqing, what do you think?" Zhao Guan asked.
Li Xiuyuan said: "My lords should be suspicious, but I don't know how you test Wu Xiang's force to believe that he can defend a city gate by himself?"
"Being able to fight ten halberd warriors is enough to convince people." Zhang Yuan from the Ministry of Officials said.
A halberd-bearer is a strongman holding a halberd. He travels with the emperor's guard of honor on weekdays. Because he holds a halberd all the year round, he is extremely strong and powerful. They once saw a halberd-bearer smash a piece of bluestone with his halberd. sharp.
If you want to come to the world's martial arts, no matter how high your martial arts are, they are nothing more than this.
"Call ten halberd bearers." Zhao Guanjia said, agreeing to the competition.
It is not only to reconcile the dissatisfaction of the officials, but the result can also be convincing, and there will be no more disputes.
Immediately, after a while, ten burly and muscular soldiers in armor and holding Fang Tian's painted halberd all entered the hall. If they were placed outside, people who didn't know would think they were heavenly soldiers and generals descending from the earth.
"Meet the official."
The ten halberd bearers knelt down and saluted.
"Exemption." Zhao Guanjia asked with a smile: "Does this warrior dare to fight?"
"It's not a problem for me to hit ten of these people." Wu Xiang immediately patted his chest and said.
However, Li Xiuyuan said: "In the eyes of officials and ministers, the competition in this hall is quite inappropriate. It is unlucky to fight with swords and soldiers in the palace grounds. If there are casualties due to the competition, and any wrestlers are damaged, it will be the court's fault." loss, so I suggest changing the trial method, and hope that the officials will agree."
"How does Li Aiqing want to try?" Zhao Guan asked.
"When I entered the palace before, I saw two bronze lions outside the palace. If Wu Xiang could lift them up, would I be able to convince the adults that he is indeed unduly brave?" Li Xiuyuan said.
He didn't want to compete because he didn't want to be tricked by these dog officials.
If Wu Xiang loses, he will be guilty of deceiving the emperor. If he wins, there will be casualties, and I'm afraid he will take the opportunity to make trouble again.
He followed Li Linfu for a period of time to learn the fighting methods above the court, how could he fall into the trap.
Lift the bronze lion outside the temple?That thing is made of solid copper, can it be lifted by a person?
Now it was the officials' turn to be surprised.
Lifting the bronze lion is more difficult than fighting ten halberd bearers. Is this Li Xiuyuan crazy?Suicide?
For a while, all the civil servants fell silent.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Since your lords don't speak, it means acquiescing, Wu Xiang, go and bring in the bronze lion outside the hall."
"Isn't it better?" Wu Xiang said.
"Go get that bronze lion and come in. It's nothing to compare. What are you doing here? Could it be that the officials and the adults are waiting for you?" Li Xiuyuan said.
"Understood, Master." Wu Xiang immediately turned around and ran out of the hall.
At this time, all the civil servants couldn't help poking their heads out to see if this tall warrior could lift the bronze lion at the door.
"This old man absolutely doesn't believe that anyone in the world can lift that thing. It's unreasonable bravery? That's just wild history talk."
"This Li Xiuyuan may have seen through our schemes, so he jumped the wall in a hurry. At that time, he can't raise it and can't impeach him for the crime of deceiving the emperor. At most, the officials will just withdraw the reward from Wu Xiang. Li Xiuyuan can't move. "
"You are so young, how can you learn to be so cunning. Master Yang asked the imperial army to stop them before but they were not stopped. I don't know what method Li Xiuyuan used to get in."
But when the civil servants were discussing.
Wu Xiang had already come to the side of the bronze lion, he bent down and squatted down, and tightly hugged the base of the bronze lion with both arms.
He didn't blush and tried his best with a thick neck, but just put his feet together and raised his arms.
This bronze lion cast in pure copper was lifted up easily.
Wu Xiang didn't seem to have much pressure, so he lifted the bronze lion and walked towards the hall.
"It's inhuman, you actually lifted it up?"
