Chapter 140 Cockfighting

When I got back to my trip, I realized why the envoy of King Wu was in such a hurry—last year, the newly appointed Persian King Ni Nirvana was accompanying him this time. Seeing that his father was bored, he offered him a fighting cock. The big thing is nothing more than the skill of carving insects, so that the emperor can have fun.Who would have thought that the Nirvana master would not agree because the chicken won the game, and boasted that "the chicken of Persia is far better than the chicken of the Tang Dynasty", the father never listened to these sentences, and the animals in the palace were not strong, so he secretly ordered his children to offer chickens At that time, the king of Wu was just in front of his car, so he sent many people, some went back to Beijing to collect it, and some searched for it on the way. We met a group that came to Baqiao Town to collect it.

Li Rui and I both slipped out as soon as we parked the car. Missing such an opportunity, Li Rui gritted his teeth and said, "I also have fighting cocks in my house, so I asked someone to take them." Before he could say goodbye to me, he had already rushed all the way. out.

Dugu Shao also said: "I also asked someone to fetch the chickens." He bowed to me and drove back to the city. Wei Huan and I looked at each other, and Wei Huan said: "We don't have chickens, so we won't fight with them."

I said: "We don't want to argue about this, it's better to go and see the excitement." I dragged her off the donkey and turned to the tent. The servants knew that we were here for the cockfight, and said with a smile, "It's in the courtyard of the station." Leading us over, I saw that my father, mother, King Wu and many clan children were all in the front hall, and many nobles and talented people in the back palace were watching from the side hall. When I moved to the seat, I waved my hands and stood in the front, holding Wei Huan's hand. I saw a huge rooster on the field, an ordinary rooster, only two or three feet tall, but this rooster was almost half the height of a man. Wings and feathers, high-spirited, he drove a rooster opposite to the corner with a few strokes, pecked off half of the rooster's comb, and the chicken's blood splashed everywhere. A servant stepped forward to separate it, but the rooster rushed up , It seemed that even people were pecking at the same time, the little waiter backed away in a panic, hugging the defeated chicken in a panic and retreated, the father's face became more and more displeased, it was not good to hinder the presence of Ni Nirvana Outburst, he only asked lightly: "Is there anyone else who wants to offer a chicken?"

Just now King Wu retreated into the crowd, when someone whispered something in his ear, he was overjoyed and said with a smile: "My son who is worthless also raised one or two chickens in his spare time. It may not be possible, but His Majesty Bo, Leer."

The father showed a slight smile and ordered him to offer the chicken, but it was a big rooster, and when it spread its wings, it was no worse than that of Nirvana Master, only slightly shorter.

Li Rui also rushed over at this moment, frowned when he saw King Wu's chicken, and winked at the servant next to him, the servant retreated, I saw it, and winked at Wei Huan, Wei Huan understood, He went out and came back after a while, and asked someone to move a smoked cage for me, put some fruit and other things on it, and waited for me to sit down, Fang said: "Ji Wang's chicken is not as good as Wu Wang's, so I asked someone to take it away." gone."

I felt a little depressed for no reason, so I got up and looked at the field. King Wu's rooster looked big, but he couldn't fight ten rounds and was defeated. My father became more and more displeased, and asked again: "Is there anyone else?" ?”

For a while, no one dared to respond, even the King of Wu remained silent, and we were all unhappy behind the curtain. Unconsciously, I leaned forward a little, looked around, and asked Wei Huan in a low voice: "Would you like me?" Can't you find a fighting cock in Beijing that can beat him?"

Wei Huan said: "The cockfight is the end. Even if you win, there is nothing to be proud of. Don't worry about it." Even though he said so, he held my hand hard.

That Nirvana master was originally a descendant of the Persian king who came to our Great Tang. He gained a foothold in Chang'an by relying on his father to give him the false title of "King of Persia". Said: "If there is no one else, it means that the minister's chicken has won. This ever-victorious chicken was matched with the Emperor Shengwen and the Empress of the Tang Dynasty who were always victorious in the Tang Dynasty. Master Ni Nirvana would like to dedicate this chicken to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the Empress. Your Majesty, may your Majesty live in good health and enjoy peace forever."

As soon as the words fell, the mother suddenly laughed and said: "My disciples of the Tang Dynasty mostly focus on Confucianism and horse bowing. For example, the last skills of cockfighting and lackeys are played by girls more. Your rooster can win now because of me." The daughters of the Tang Dynasty have not made a move yet, if you order your daughter to present a cockfight, I am afraid that yours will be compared to yours immediately."

These words are too empty, the faces of the clan disciples outside are all strange, and the Nirvana Master also shows a strange look - he has lived in Beijing for a long time, these customs and customs, naturally he knows some details, and he also knows that his mother is just saying a few words In fact, the safer way at this moment is to follow the mother's wishes and say a few words not to dare, and then pass it in a polite manner, so that everyone will not be embarrassed, but he is a foreigner with a solid eye, so he insisted: "If this is the case, I don't know if Master Nirvana is honored. Please enlighten me, ladies." While speaking, he glanced at us, obviously knowing that someone was hiding behind the curtain.

Tuan'er snorted and said, "This barbarian really doesn't know the rules."

I took Wei Huan's hand and asked her, "Ah Huan, Ah Huan, what should I do?" Aunt Qinghe's family heard that they raised fighting cocks, but she is not around now, so it may not be too late to call them. Besides, what about her chickens? Also unknown.

Wei Huan frowned and didn't answer, but Wan'er said: "Since Your Majesty said so, she naturally has her plans, Princess don't need to worry."

She was not here just now, but now she came in and stood beside us. She never talked much, but her words were important, so I believed her, and I heard my mother say: "What's so difficult about this? There are many girls who are good at cockfighting, just pass on one of them." Gao Yanfu seemed to wave his hand inadvertently, and then bowed out, and after a while, Dugu Shao came in, saying: "The daughter of the Duke of Luonan, Sixteenth Lady Please offer a game cock."

Dugu Shao had already changed into the Han family's attire, put on Mi Li properly, and bowed to the room one by one.

Behind her was a servant holding a rooster in his arms, but it was much smaller than King Wu's, and in terms of height, it was only half the size of Nirvana Master's.

Ni Nirvana looked at the chicken suspiciously, without asking Dugu Shao, he asked his mother, "Your Majesty the Queen of Heaven really wants to compete with this chicken?"

The mother smiled casually: "Anyway, there is nothing to do today. It's always okay to have a competition."

Seeing his mother's expression, his father also said: "Yes." He ordered people to put the two chickens together, but Master Ni Nirvana's big rooster seemed to be quite afraid of Dugu Shao, and he didn't go forward as before, just It clucked and croaked in the field, and walked while croaking. After a while, it seemed impatient, so it flapped its wings and pecked at its comb just like the previous one.

Dugu Shao's rooster was very dexterous, when he saw the opponent pecking at him, he flapped his wings and then dodged it. If he dodged a few times, the big rooster regained its momentum and attacked aggressively again. Jumping back and forth to hide, fluttering so that the field is full of chicken feathers.

I didn't pay much attention to these games and competitions in the past, but now I watched them, but I became nervous for these two chickens for no reason. I squeezed Wei Huan's hand and stared at the field without blinking. Inside the curtain and outside the curtain, there was no sound, and they all held their breath to watch the two chickens fight each other.

At first it seemed that Master Ni Nirvana's rooster had the upper hand, Dugu Shao's rooster could only dodge and flutter, gradually the big rooster lost patience, pecked and fanned violently, while the little rooster was not in a hurry, After flashing more than ten times, it suddenly jumped up into the air and landed on the fence. The big rooster missed the peck and ran fiercely to chase the little one, but the little one suddenly jumped up and landed on the fence. The neck of the big rooster was pecked vigorously, dozens of pecks on the neck of the big cock in an instant. It suddenly fell to the ground, and the little one pecked a few times until the eyes of the big chicken were all pecked out, and the chicken's head was limp and tilted to one side, and its neck was actually broken.

Dugu Shao took out the bamboo whistle and blew, the little chicken came back with its head held high, and stopped again in front of the fence, Dugu Shao smiled at the Nirvana master: "It's a shame."

The Ni Nirvana stared at the big chicken's corpse in a daze, stretched out his hands, his complexion changed suddenly, and after a long time he smiled wryly: "The minister who is an outsider, with shallow knowledge, makes me laugh at the Emperor and Empress of the Tang Dynasty!" gone."

The father smiled and said: "The play of sons and daughters is a small skill, and it is not very honorable to win. You have the loyalty of this contribution, and your heart is commendable. I will hold a banquet tonight to reward you. You can make the Persian department I know it."

Master Ni Nirvana retreated in embarrassment, and his father looked at Wu Wang, Li Rui and others and said: "At the end of this book, your defeat is understandable. If you have the time to fight cocks and dogs, it is better to read a few more scriptures and learn more. These are the ways of governing the country."

The king of Wu laughed and said: "I would like to accept the holy order." He said with a smile: "I see these two chickens fighting each other, and I have some good sentences. I would like to try it as "The Chicken Call for the King of Mud". , whether it is approved or not, please ask the holy judge."

The father smiled and said, "Let's talk about it later." Turning to Dugu Shao, he asked, "You are the sixth daughter of Yuankang? Is your mother the Cui family?"

Dugu said: "Cui Shi is my concubine's father's ex-wife, who died of illness, and my concubine's mother Pei."

The father laughed and said, "After reading it, it's no wonder that you have such a demeanor. Today is very good. I will give you ten things of gold and silver, and three hundred horses."

The mother smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I see that she has a good appearance and is so familiar with cuju and cockfighting. Why don't I call her into the palace and accompany my son, when the time comes, my son will go out of the palace and marry her together. how?"

The father was startled, and said with a smile, "That's fine." Then he asked Dugu Shao, "What do you mean?"

Dugu Shao said with great joy: "I would like to enter the palace and serve the Empress and Princess day and night."

The author has something to say: a foot in the Tang Dynasty equaled 22 centimeters, not the current ruler, and Tang ruler is used in this article.

Someone asked people in the Tang Dynasty about avoiding taboos. That's right, the Tang Dynasty avoided taboos not only from the reigning emperor, but also from respected ancestors.

Emperors honored during the Gaozong period: Xuanyuan Emperor Li Er (pursuit), Xingsheng Emperor Li Hao (pursuit), Xuan Emperor Li Xi (pursuit), Guang Emperor Li Tianxi (pursuit), Jing Emperor Li Hu (pursuit) Yuan Emperor Li Zan (respected)

Emperors who have reigned in this book: Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Taiping's father (Li Chengzong, has changed his name, forgot to fill in the previous article)

The setting of taboo in this book is not as strict as that of the people of Tang Dynasty, because history has changed. It was also criticized by the people of the time.

In addition, the official history of Jiaofang believes that it appeared in the period of Ruizong and Xuanzong, that is, after Tian's death, but the history of this article has been changed, so... some other customs do not distinguish between the early, middle and late Tang Dynasty, because many origin times cannot be tested~

In addition, chariots and yu are different. You can simply and roughly think that chariots are larger and more solemn.

From the small theater of Seeing the Deer in Lan Shen:

Taiping: What does my mother want to do?

Wei Huan: Everyone knows what your mother wants to do.

Wan'er: Your mother wants... me. (The ellipsis in the middle means what everyone understands...)

Zetian: ...

Wan'er, died, the cause of death, leaked the highest level of state secrets.
