Great Zhou Empress

Another year of New Year's event, this year Xue Zhijing held a New Year's event in Wanguo City.

All the previous activities were designed and arranged in Bianjing, and now they are all moved to Wanguo City. The Wanguo Conference that is going to be held this summer should also be held in Wanguo City.

For this reason, she invited the princes and foreign students living in Bianjing City to Wanguo City early, preparing to participate in the New Year's event.

She plans to continue the New Year's event for one month, starting [-] days before the Spring Festival and continuing until the Lantern Festival. On the day of the Lantern Festival, grand military performances and cultural performances will be held.

This activity refers to the business model used before, and absorbs the advertisements of merchants to raise funds. Second, she continues to issue consumer coupons to the bottom-level people to promote economic development at the end of the year, so that people can join in the grand event.

In addition, the biggest goal is to demonstrate the national power of the Great Zhou Dynasty and leave a deep impression on the visiting princes.

Many things in the preparatory activities have been prepared for a long time, and the venue was chosen for the World Congress. The polo field, which is much larger than the ordinary polo field, is the main viewing place.When the time comes, she will sit in the surrounding auditorium with her courtiers and princes and nobles from all over the world to watch the demonstration of military skills.

In addition, there is a more grand form of performance that can only be carried out in a wider venue, that is, the demonstration of the military formation, and the venue can only be in the Forbidden Army Garrison on the outskirts of Wan Guo City.

Xue Zhijing referred to the form of later generations, and wanted to let people see a majestic and majestic scene from a high place, but the conditions of the forbidden army's garrison were quite limited.

But there are also solutions. The craftsmen have made many three-storey ladders. The bottom of the ladders can be pushed by pulleys, and a dozen people can stand on the highest point.At that time, dozens of ladders will be erected in the vast area outside the city. Everyone will stand on the top and the rest will stand on the bottom. Then you can see the demonstration of the army formation ahead.

At that time, there will be tens of thousands of people, the phalanx will be neat, and the armor will be heavily armored, so the effect will definitely be very good.

While riding a horse to watch the rehearsal in the army, Xue Zhijing asked Xiao Liege, "Do you want our two countries to have a joint exercise?"

"It's not impossible to arrive." Xiao Liege also knew that it was a good thing to exercise and show off military power.

"If our two countries conduct joint military exercises, I think that at that time, none of the princes of the Ten Thousand Kingdoms will be afraid. The Xia Kingdom and the Tubo tribes in the west will probably change their appearance." Xue Zhijing said.

"So, are you trying to scare them?" Xiao Liege suddenly realized, but she suddenly thought, isn't this what Xue Zhijing often does? Pretend to be a Marine Corps and force her to retreat, huh, fortunately she is smart.

"That's right, scare them." Xue Zhijing blinked at Xiao Liege, "Isn't it good to scare them? All the people in the Xia Kingdom are soldiers. In the previous dynasty, they even funded the rebellion of Liu Mian, Duke of Qin. Staying in the Xia Kingdom, I don’t believe they are so kind, raising a useless chess piece. The Tubo tribes occupy a favorable area, and their people are very strong in the plateau area, and they border on the rich and prosperous land in the southwest of me. In the previous dynasty, there were tribal leaders with great talents and general plans to unify the tribes, and it was not that they did not threaten the success of the previous dynasty condescendingly."

Xiao Liege nodded, "It seems that they didn't send anyone to Wan Guo City, did they have any princes come to study abroad?"

Xue Zhijing shook his head, "No one came to study, I sent envoys to them to send invitations, and other countries came here in a hurry, either living in Bianjing, or discussing the trade between the two sides. What I want. But they still seem to be watching, I guess it's because I am the empress, they don't believe that I can really secure the throne, and they are still waiting for the restoration of the previous clan."

"I don't know about the tribes of Tubo, but I know about the Xia Kingdom. Their natural conditions are much worse than ours. From time to time, they still want to occupy the pastures of our Liao Kingdom, but our Liao Kingdom's pastures are all owned by others." Yes, I don’t even need to come forward, the nobles to which Caochang belonged beat them back.” Xiao Liege said.

"Yeah, they are all countries with not very good natural conditions, so I decided on this strategy. First use force to frighten them, let them fear, know that although my Great Zhou is ruled by a female emperor, it is not weak and bully country. Then use economics and trade to connect them.”

With that said, the two had arrived at the Forbidden Army Garrison outside the city.

This area has been leveled and cleaned up, the trees, dry grass and gravel have been cleared away, and as far as the eye can see, there is a yellow wasteland, but the white tents of the army are scattered all over the wasteland, and there are a large number of people dressed in red. Soldiers in uniform are training.

Yuan Jin greeted him from a distance, bowed to Xue Zhijing, and then bowed to Xiao Liege with a cold expression, "Princess Raging Fire."

Yuan Jin and Xiao Liege were enemies in the early years, and they couldn't get used to each other. After all, they couldn't beat each other on the battlefield, and they didn't want to face each other directly. Later, Xiao Liege just appeared in Bianjing City, but Yuan Jin When she recognized this Liao princess, she had met him several times.

So until now, when the two met each other, it was still the same, it was just a gift on the surface.

Xue Zhijing secretly wondered if he should think of a way to bring the relationship between the two closer.

When heading to the main tent of the camp, several people saw someone practicing on the training ground not far away, Xue Zhijing said that he wanted to take a look, and several people walked in that direction.

Yuan Jin introduced, "It's a display of special skills."

Xue Zhi nodded.

The so-called display of special skills is an aspect of displaying some extremely specialties of certain soldiers in the army.

Everyone has their own strengths, and some people will far surpass others in the corresponding strengths if they practice more, for example, some people are good at hearing and can hear a wider range of frequencies than others, and some people have good eyesight and can resolve countless chaos Find the special one in the pattern, some people are strong and others can imitate it...

Some people's abilities can even reach the level of supernatural powers. For example, Chen Tang is born with supernatural powers, and Sun Miaoer has the ability to sense the flow of human meridians and the pain of other people's bodies.

Xue Zhijing also remembers that in later generations, there are always some military skills displayed, such as the "tearing washbasin" skill, that is, someone can tear a stainless steel washbasin in half with bare hands within a few seconds. It caused everyone to exclaim. After all, not everyone can do it. Strength and instant explosive power are indispensable.

But of course you won't play like this here, after all, there is no stainless steel washbasin, right?

However, there are "strength to carry the tripod": walking with bare hands to lift a bronze tripod weighing several hundred catties; Sticks, countless roots.There are also "splitting bricks with bare hands", "serial archery" and so on.

Only you can't think of it, there is no special function that can't be done.

This kind of skill display is actually just to give people a sense of shock. Most of the performances are in the form of performances. After all, not everyone has such abilities. A chain of arrows cannot reverse the situation of a battle.

But Xue Zhijing still encouraged everyone and gave everyone rewards, most of which were gold, silver and meat.

After watching their practice here, the few people finally entered the tent of the big camp. A sand table had already been placed in the middle of the tent, and there were some miniature landscapes and villains on it. The appearance of the big camp and the venue of the Congress of Nations not far away.

Yuan Jin pointed at the sand table with a bamboo stick, demonstrating the day's martial arts performance.

"Chenshi...Sishi...Your Majesty can watch it here with everyone...a place for lunch...there will be singing and dancing performances at Weishi..."

Letting Yuan Jin be responsible for the preparation of this large-scale event is a bit overkill, but the commander in the army and the director of large-scale events have the same effect, and this time the main program is military performances in the army. suitable.

She arranged the event in an orderly manner, thinking of all the details, and even had some emergency plans. It can be said that tens of 10 people can be directed around by her.

Xue Zhijing had explained to her the role of this martial arts performance in detail before, and Yuan Jin naturally understood, so she has trained the soldiers even more fiercely these days, just to let them show a more spiritual spirit in front of the nations. look.

After the demonstration was over, the sun was already in the west, Xue Zhijing looked at Yuan Jin and Xiao Liege, and said, "Yuan Jin, you have a bar here, so why don't you drink two pots today?"

Naturally, Yuan Jin couldn't say no, so he called people down to prepare.

The chefs in the army cook very rough, Yuan Jin has long been used to it, and the food served at this time is also the same, a large pot of stewed pork, mutton and fish, and the wine is strong wine.

Yuan Jin smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I asked for this wine from the medical school. It is very strong. You can try it today."

There seemed to be some teasing in her smile, Xue Zhijing could understand it at a glance, it was a joke waiting to be seen by himself, afraid that he would not be able to bear the strength of the wine.

Xue Zhijing took a sip, and the strong smell of alcohol hit him, "I let the medical school test it out to disinfect wounds, why did you ask for it and drink it, and what is the concentration?"

Yuan Jin said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, it's not very high. They say drinking can't kill you."

Xue Zhijing: "..."

Xue Zhijing simply took a sip by himself and felt it. It was not smooth, but it was indeed strong enough, as if a ball of fire rolled down his throat, and it was estimated to be more than 50 degrees.

Okay, so it won't be poisoned.

At this time, the three of them were sitting on a wooden table, with Xue Zhijing at the head, Xiao Liege and Yuan Jin on the two sides, facing each other.

But Xiao Liege and Yuan Jin didn't seem to know each other very well, and they didn't speak.

Xue Zhijing specially poured a bowl into his own small wine bowl, and then called to the two to pour wine separately, "Come on, the three of us have never drank together before, today is just right, come on, make this bowl for me .”

Xiao Liege and Yuan Jin glanced at each other, then immediately turned to Xue Zhijing, picked up the bowl in his hand, and drank it in one gulp.

Xue Zhijing just wanted to speak slowly, the wine was too strong, both of them drank it at the same time, then twisted his face and poured the wine bowl, expressing that he drank not a drop left.

What is this for?Is there a competition for who can drink faster after drinking?

Xue Zhijing really couldn't understand the preferences of a general and a princess.

She slowly drank the wine in the bowl, only to feel a fire rushing straight to her brain, it was really refreshing.

"Come, come, eat."

As soon as the chopsticks went down, Xue Zhijing suddenly didn't know which one to pick up. She asked curiously, "Yuan Jin, are you short of vegetables here? Is the supply not enough?"

Only then did Yuan Jin remember that Xue Zhijing loves to keep in good health and eats with meat and vegetables, but he forgot to order it. He just said embarrassingly, "People in the army consume a lot of energy and love to eat meat, so this dish is less."

As Yuan Jin said, he tried his best to squeeze out two pieces of radishes that were full of gravy, "Come on, Your Majesty, radishes."

"Thank you!"

Xue Zhijing really couldn't help but laugh.

At this time, Xiao Liege spoke, "If you don't eat vegetables, you're prone to constipation. I think there should be quite a lot of people in General Yuan's army who are constipated."

Yuan Jin pissed her off angrily, "Who cares about shit and shit every day? People in our army are always thinking about the big things of defending our home and country. Constipation is nothing. Even constipation can go to battle and kill the enemy." .”

"Yo, amazing." Xiao Liege has no personality that can be hated by others, and he immediately became angry, "Defending the home and defending the country, who was guarding Xiongzhou back then, but it turned out that I drove straight into no man's land .”

"Oh!" Yuan Jin snorted coldly, "Back then I let you drive straight in, but who was afraid of confronting me head-on, so you made a big detour before entering the hinterland of my Central Plains?"

"You think I'm afraid of you." Xiao Liege's voice was even higher.

"Do you want us to compete?"

"Hey, hey, you two, stop for a second!" Xue Zhijing had to interrupt the two of them, looked around at them, but saw that their faces were all red, wondering if it was the smell of alcohol, or the intense emotion aroused just now of.

They looked at Xue Zhijing, Xiao Liege inexplicably felt a little wronged, while Yuan Jin looked unhappy.

Xue Zhijing smiled dryly, "I said, should we eat first? After eating, the two of you are competing in martial arts, wrestling, okay?"

For some reason, Xue Zhijing felt that at this time, she was particularly like a kindergarten teacher coaxing two stubborn children.

"Okay, since His Majesty has spoken, let's compete later." Yuan Jin said.

"Hmph!" Xiao Lie sang.

"Come, come, come, another bowl of wine." Xue Zhijing offered the Dafa of filling wine, and drank two more bowls, it is estimated that both of them can be released.

"Drink another bowl."

"Done."

After drinking a few bowls of strong wine, Xiao Liege and Yuan Jin's eyes began to blur, their faces turned red, and they immediately started arguing. It's not right to say that arguing, it should be said that they were fighting for breath.

Yuan Jin: "If you dare to fight me upright, I can guarantee that you will definitely win."

Xiao Liege: "I am invincible on the grassland, can you do it?"

"Don't think that now that Xiaojing likes you, you can be so defiant. I am the general of the Great Zhou, and you are nothing in our Great Zhou."

"Yuan Jin, I don't want to bear you anymore. If Jing didn't value you, I wish I could find someone to put a sack on you and beat you up. I'm nothing? It's just that I don't care for you. Bit, I can put it on my head at any time."

"Heh! You have such a big face, can you be a queen at any time? Look at me, the general of the country, who disagrees. Can you be a queen?"

"I want to do it, it's all a matter of my words."

The more Xue Zhijing listened to it, the more he felt that this was not the case. Why is it so weird?

"You two, can you look at my face and stop pinching me?"

"I do not!"

"I do not!"

"Go, wrestle, I can assure you, three hits will knock you to the ground." Xiao Liege said.

"Compare, if you lose, you will not be allowed to come to our big week again." Yuan Jin said.

"If you lose, you will kneel down and address me as Your Highness Queen when you see me in the future." Xiao Liege.

"I won't lose, and you will never be a queen." Yuan Jin said.

Xue Zhijing: "..."

Saying that, the two of them ran out.

Xue Zhijing hurriedly followed, and said while walking quickly, "You wrestle as often as you want, why are you still playing chips? This chip is not good, I don't agree."
