[Comprehensive] The days when I pretended to be a meow in the Forbidden City

The lady in second row exerted her strength in advance, she bit her cheek and followed the rules to go around the flow of people and take a step to the right.

No one thought that she would make trouble at this time. Everyone thought that she would put the time on the last lap. She suddenly acted not only the man in the first row, but also the people who followed her. I was taken away by her movements, and the balance I kept before was messed up.

Bingxi has never entered the professional sequence at all. These people in the arena are not so much athletes as players, and even many of them slide in the upright novice skating method. This is why there is a rule of the competition. The rule of breaking the pole is fixed, because the turning mode of many of them is still pulling the pole and relying on this force to force the turn.

If it was following the modern curve, I'm afraid he would have to fall into a ball on the spot.

The most common problem for novices is that they have poor adaptability, and it is not easy to adjust in time for emergencies. The third person affects the fourth, just like what Liu Shengren said before, these people are actually influenced and dragged down by each other.

Fortunately, these people were all finalists, not pure beginners, and they adjusted their steps after a while.

Xia Anran looked down from above, one or two were biting tightly, the lady rushed to catch up, she was on the outer circle, if she wanted to overtake, she had to be faster than the men in the inner circle, this kind of pure speed competition made the spectators burst into laughter There was another round of cheers, and almost all the girls who came to watch the battle became the supporters of the lady, and the men naturally became the supporters of the leading man.

At this moment, they don't care who owns the flag in their hands. Except for the relatives and friends of the contestants biting into a ball behind, everyone else is paying attention to one or two. This lady seems to have observed the strength of this man just now. Perhaps it was precisely because she knew the strength of this man that she gave up the idea of ​​launching an attack in the last circle, which was considered safer in the eyes of everyone, and instead began to force the speed of this man one step ahead.

At this time, the members of the royal family of Song Dynasty who were behind the gauze curtain were also very excited and began to wait and see. Of course, the environment above was quiet. As the top management of the country, although everyone's eyes were fixed on the bottom, did they You also need to have a knowing smile with your colleagues.

At this moment, the high-level people are divided into left and right sides by Renzong. One side supports male athletes, the other side mostly supports female athletes, and a small part also supports male athletes.

It's just that in order to avoid embarrassment, everyone didn't say anything.

Xia Anran stood on top, his eyesight was better than these people, and he was more open-minded. As the person who is more qualified to roam here besides his cousin and his father, Xia Anran kept his eyes open Standing there for a while, he looked down and smiled.

The outcome is decided.

He already knew the final answer, but he didn't intend to say it.

The leading man made a fatal mistake.

He forgot to fingerprint.

It may be that the intense competition made him forget, or it may be that he wanted to take advantage of this turning opportunity to increase the advantage in one fell swoop. Xia Anran looked at the moment and saw the gentleman's hand touched the slider, but his The hand did not touch the position.

The last finger that needs to be stamped did not stain the painted area. When the rules of this game were announced, many people discussed how to use the best method to pass this more difficult game. Fingers are long and short, and using different fingers to press the paint is an important strategy, which determines the player's sliding position at that time.

This player obviously also realized that his hand did not touch the pole. He has two options at this time. One is to turn around and go back to re-stain the paint. Although he may consume some energy, he may even be unable to catch up with the leading position. The other... ...It is to call out a color by yourself.

The color on the last pole is purple. He already had red and blue paint on his hand before. This kind of paint is a special paint made by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry. It is not easy to dry and easy to wash off. It is useless in operation. It was originally thrown aside as waste, but this time it was taken out for waste use.

Purple beats red and blue, everyone knows this.

His hand touches the pole very fast. Except for Xia Anran, who has excellent dynamic vision, who has the advantage of viewing angles from top to bottom, and who also knows the layout and coloring of poles, most people probably don't know him. In the end there is no successful dyeing.

——It is estimated that even the lady who chased after him after hitting the pole didn't know. If she knew, she would definitely not be so desperate.

This man also seemed to be in a daze. He subconsciously rushed forward while the lady was chasing him. When he realized it, he had already missed the best time to turn back. If he looked back at this time, don't say runner-up. .

From No.1 to the last place.

It is because of this kind of oolong incident that he lost his No.1 position, how can he have a positive mentality.

The competition for the top three in the last lap was extremely fierce, and the player who was originally ranked fourth in the back pulled after touching the bar, and then adjusted the direction with this force and made an aggressive impact towards the front.

The appearance of this dark horse made the crowd immediately excited. People are always full of enthusiasm for this kind of drama of "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger", which is second only to their love for "grassroots counterattack".

Xia Anran was also a little surprised by the third person, he didn't realize until then that the third person was the brother he had just competed with in the ice dance competition. Xia Anran has taken in nutrients from the several movements. Xia Anran used to adjust the center of gravity when accelerating, and now this Xiaolang is learning those postures.

Before he lost his place in the crowd, he might have been adapting to the nourishment he received from Xia Anran, but now he has finally learned and mastered it.

The appearance of this dark horse instantly sparked enthusiasm among the onlookers, because the wooden sign on his body was number three, and the shouts of calling his name continued for a while.

If the woman wants to surpass No.1, the No. 1 player must surpass the girl. Naturally, she is on the outer circle of her, but even so, his speed is accelerating all the way, and there is still the last straight line. The straight line distance is the shortest for speed skating To be fair, at this moment, the advantages of those who stay in the inner circle will be lost. No.[-] seemed to be fighting hard, and it was also speeding up again and again. The final straight-line distance was several times more exciting than before.

At this time, there is no stopwatch to count, and it depends on who is the first to grab the ribbon while standing and holding it up.

During the final 20-meter sprint, the three of them were almost on the same level. The final suspenseful scene made many officials and even officials who had been calm before stand up and watch from the water pavilion.

There is a curtain on the side of the women's family that can't be seen, but there are layers of shadows near the wooden fence.

The last five meters, one meter!

The person who lifts the ribbon first is the gentleman who has always maintained No.1, and the second and third lifters are the gentleman No. [-] and the lady.

It's hard to say whether the final victory was because the lady's arms were shorter than No. 1's, or because she was affected by the action of the No. [-] gentleman pulling up the ribbon, and she made a wrong hand and failed to pull it up at the fastest speed. In the end, he lost to Lang Jun with the No. [-] wooden card.

The crowd roared with joy. If they hadn't been told not to jump on the ice before, these people would have jumped up!

According to the previous arrangement, as a champion, besides having the honor of visiting the venue for a week to pay tribute to the audience, he also has the right to face the saint.

Mian Sheng, it can be said that this is the best chance for common people to ascend to the sky.

If you perform well, the officials may reward you with a half-job, which is much faster than the imperial examination.

Moreover, being able to meet the Holy Spirit can almost guarantee that you will be able to live in peace and happiness for the rest of your life. After all, you will be registered in front of the official family, and the benefits you will get after that will be invisible. Save some face, even if you open a shop, your business will be better than others.

The onlookers were all cheering. These participants were almost panting after the intense exercise. After a long time, they straightened up and waved at the crowd. Only the winner of the championship remained motionless.

Just when everyone was wondering, he suddenly saw him stepping on the ice, and relying on this strength, he slid in front of No.2 contestant No. [-], and then he hung the satin around his neck under the inexplicable gaze of No. [-] contestant. superior.

There was an uproar among the onlookers.

As the first person to cross the line, the ribbon was naturally held tightly in his hands. After the second and third players completed the prescribed movements, they let go of their hands and went far away to catch their breath. There was chaos, the crowd didn't know what he meant, and even the superiors watching the battle had some small commotions.Zhao Zhen raised his eyebrows in confusion, and saw the man raised his left hand towards everyone.

He spread his fingers apart and showed them to everyone.

At first, everyone was a little confused, but then they understood.

This competition is divided into qualifiers and finals. The competition system is exactly the same. Naturally, in order to ensure the fairness of the competition, players need to dye their fingers twice. There is no rule which one should be dyed first. Because of this system similar to punching cards, the left and right hand gestures must be done one by one. In order to get out of the qualifiers first, those who are not smooth and have no self-confidence use the side of the smooth side first, but this guy is the opposite.

He left the chance to the final.

Therefore, now there is one missing finger on his hand, which is not stained, and he violated the rules.

His grades don't count.

There was an uproar in the crowd.

The reason why everyone was surprised was not only that the champion was not a champion, but also why he said it.

Everyone witnessed him winning the championship, but it may not be possible to verify it, after all, the existence of the pillar is just to ensure that the contestant is not cheating, and everyone has seen the fact that this man passed the pole.The organizers may not want to verify it, which is not necessary in their view.

Even if someone wants to verify, there is no way. The players often clenched their fingers into fists in order to speed up, and there is a reason why the color becomes a mess in the end.

Many people couldn't understand why he said it, obviously Zhao Zhen couldn't understand either, but he wouldn't ask now.

He may send someone to find out what this person is thinking in the future, but at least at this moment, he will not open his mouth.

He calmly met the champion of this competition. The gentleman was stunned when he saw Zhao Zhen. Fortunately, he only looked up for a moment, and Zhao Zhen couldn't see that his emotions were wrong. After all, he has seen thousands, if not hundreds, of people who performed abnormally in face-to-face sainthood. Naturally, he didn't know that he had to be blamed by Xia Anran again.

Zhao, in private, seems to be very good at ice play. Zhen kindly asked the young man about his life experience, and when he heard that this young man was coming to take the imperial examination this year, his smile softened a lot.

This kind of young man with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique, art and labor, especially one who has something to say, is the emperor's favorite.

Xia Anran noticed sensitively that the courtiers around him seemed to have aspirations at this moment, and their attitude towards this young man was somewhat disapproving.

Maybe it's not disapproval, but just like the difference he encountered before and after taking the scientific examination in the first century.

The former is to look at a junior who may have some future.

The latter is to look at a peer.

In this battlefield, there is no distinction of age, no distinction of qualifications, only the difference between peers and defectors.

But now, in the eyes of these bigwigs, this face-sacred gentleman is still not a person who can stand on the same level as them.But Xia Anran knew that sooner or later he would stand above the court and use his stubborn eyes to change and influence this dynasty.

Because this person's name is Ouyang Xiu.

Last year, Enke lost his name, and this year Ouyang Xiu made a fresh start.

According to the procedure, Zhao Zhen rewarded him with a piece of silver, plus a commemorative gift, and then called the runner-up girl.

As No.2 in this competition, this woman should not have been summoned, but Liu Shengren said that he wanted to meet the girl who was chasing all the way, so this woman was called up, and because Liu Shengren summoned, this The woman was taken directly to the side.

People can't see people, they can only hear conversations.

Liu Shengren asked a lot of questions kindly, and he seemed to appreciate the woman very much, so he asked what the lady wanted, and she could make the decision.Unexpectedly, this lady said something unexpected by everyone.

——She wants to ask for a favor for someone else, and this person is none other than Liu Niang.

When she said this sentence, even Liu Shengren was stunned, Xia Anran and others heard Liu Shengren raised his voice slightly, "Aijia... I don't seem to hear clearly, you little girl... What did you say just now? "

The girl said crisply, "I read the "Love Letter" on the day of the Lantern Festival, and then I heard that there was a prototype in it, which was Liu Niang in Beijing, but the Mu Niang in the story fulfilled her wish and joined the army. Liu Niang was a few short of the test and failed to enter the army, so I want to ask for a favor for Liu Niang."

"This is the first time Aijia has heard of your idea..." Liu Shengren was silent for a while, "Miss, can you think about it? If you change your mind now, it is still too late, Aijia... may give you another chance. "

"It's a rare opportunity, you don't need to have this wish on yourself? A lady of your age, Aijia is in a good mood today, so I can protect you as a matchmaker."

When Liu Shengren said this, what he actually meant was that he wanted to propose a marriage for this lady, and the Queen Mother would protect the matchmaker. It is estimated that there are not many people in the world who would refuse.

Who would have thought that this little lady would be stubborn and offended at this time, she shook her head, and said seriously, "If you want to return to my mother, I will choose my husband myself, he is not a hero, and I will not marry."

"Oh?" Liu Shengren was immediately curious, "So, you know martial arts?"

"That's right. I learned martial arts from my elder brother and my father since I was a child. Now there are not many of us who can beat me. Even my brothers, if we don't join hands, we can't beat me." The little girl confessed in a few words. Life experience, "I came to the capital this time because my brothers are rushing to take the exam for today's martial arts exams. I also want to see what martial arts students in the world look like. I don't want to. I saw that play during the Lantern Festival. I cried to death." .”

"So...then I really can't be a matchmaker for you." Liu Niangniang was silent for a while, and then she waved her hand, "Your performance today is outstanding, Aijia is... a little tired today, you go down first. Please, the Ai family already knows, but the matter is of great importance, and the Ai family still needs to inquire, so you go down today, don't say too much."

The little girl responded and went downstairs. As soon as she left, Empress Dowager Liu turned to the people in the room, "When will there be another small play in this capital, the Ai family doesn't know."

"It's just a small drama in a teahouse," Zhao Zhen touched his nose, feeling a little guilty. On the one hand, he was a little proud that his work is so influential now, and on the other hand, he felt a little embarrassed because this work was stabbed in front of the Empress Dowager Liu , but seeing that Empress Liu is obviously aroused by curiosity now, he said, "If the empress is interested, I will invite them to the palace to perform for the empress in a few days."

By the way, he also followed to see.

In fact, Zhao Zhen is also a little curious about the effect of this play now. After all, it can be regarded as his first work, and suddenly he can feel that Brother Xia was embarrassed and looking forward to it at that time.

Zhao Zhen thought so.

Empress Dowager Liu thought about it for a while, and then agreed. After all, a small play is not a time-consuming behavior, but she still said a few polite words, meaning that she should not disturb the official business.For a time, the mother and child were happy and harmonious.

The official watched a wonderful performance today, and was able to make an appointment for his work to be staged in the palace in a few days. He was in a very happy mood. He waved his hand and said that such activities are beneficial to the body and mind, and he might as well do it every year in the future Once, but it is a bit troublesome to list it separately, and it will take up everyone's working time. If it is not set during the Lantern Festival, the restrictions will not be so strict in the future. Anyone who knows how to play can play. Try it, it doesn't matter!

Ministers: Ha ha.

Xia Anran stood quietly, only feeling a few faint eyes shot from all over his body, his eyes shifted slightly, and he expressed with actions: It has nothing to do with me.

The activities that originally occupied the working day have become group activities that occupy the holiday. In fact, all the ministers present are in a bad mood.

For a while, everyone didn't want to pay attention to Zhao Zhen's trash talk, and Zhao Zhen was not alone, he waved his hand to call out Xia Anran, and let his dear little cousin take the carriage back to the palace.

This kind of treatment, coupled with the fact that everyone immediately remembered that today's incident was caused by Xia Anran, made new and old hatreds all count together.

The courtiers who knew the specific situation in the study that day did not say a word, while the admonishers next to him silently rubbed their hands and paws in their hearts.

Looking at Xia Anran's eyes, it said - this must be a traitor!

One of the evidences is that he coaxed the emperor to come out to play without doing business, and the second evidence is that he made the emperor make an exception and mention him to the Ministry of Industry, but he did not make any achievements, which completely conformed to their previous inherent impression of the clan's children.

All of a sudden, Xia Anran's various crimes were listed in their hearts one by one, and they were all recorded in the small book.For the time being, I will not mention how furious the emperor will be when he sees these impeachments. Now the two brothers are squeezed into the spacious carriage, talking about the current situation.

Xia Anran and Zhao Zhen had a clear understanding of the matter of arranging Liu Niang to go to the north before, otherwise even he wouldn't dare to make such a fuss!Zhao Zhen also had an indifferent attitude. One is a younger brother and the other is a brother-in-law. It is good that they can get along harmoniously, but this matter cannot be put on the bright side.

These days, Zhao Zhen's various inclinations towards the military and politics have become very clear. The political acumen of the courtiers is basically not low. Basically, they have discovered what should be discovered, and those who have not been discovered are also irrelevant courtiers.

At the beginning of this year, the papers submitted have been divided into two directions. The civil servants began to persuade him not to be so profligate, and he must not forget the family precepts of his ancestors.

The two completely different attitudes made Zhao Zhen quite dumbfounded, but frankly speaking, he did not intend to expose his ambition so early.

For now, the currency reform is the most important thing. The money is not enough, and the military expenditure is increased. I am afraid that the life of ordinary people will be difficult.

And Zhao Zhen himself knew in his heart that he couldn't move now, no matter if he had financial resources or material resources, if there were no accidents, without three or five years of accumulation, he couldn't easily send troops.

But after seeing the appearance of the catapult, he really felt like a fire was burning in his heart.

The sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, the eternal cinnabar mole in the hearts of every Song Dynasty emperor.

Its importance can even be said that as long as the Yanyun sixteen states are won, no matter how indulgent the emperor's subsequent career is, it will basically be praised more than criticized in the history books.

Any achievement is incomparable to expanding the territory, especially the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are still historical issues, which means that the Song Dynasty is completely wiping the ass of the predecessors, and its concept is completely different.

Is Zhao Zhen moved?That's about to jump out, but what about action?Can't move.

Catapults are a good thing. In fact, Zhao Zhen knew it well. If he built a hundred or so catapults and put them there, it would not be a problem to win two or three of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. If he acted quickly, four Five states is also possible, but Song Jun has two biggest problems now.

One, good generals are few.

In particular, there is only one good general who is good at attacking, Pang Tong. If there is a real war, one Pang Tong is far from enough. This is why Zhao Zhen has held martial arts for two consecutive years. There are really not enough talents here.

Both, the party is ready to move.

This news was confirmed by the people he sent to Dangxiang after the Mid-Autumn Festival. The heart of Liao's alliance with Dangxiang has never stopped, and Dangxiang is vacillating in it.

An unfamiliar dog will sooner or later become a wolf.

Zhao Zhen understands this very well.

The so-called party item now is nothing more than trying to survive in the cracks, and at the same time gain greater benefits through swaying between the two parties. In order to please it, the Song and Liao countries are bound to give in and tolerate many things. Let it slowly lift a branch from the corner of the two big countries, and when the roots are deep and the nutrition is sufficient, it will overthrow them in one fell swoop.

I don’t know how many small countries have performed this routine in history, some have succeeded, and some have failed.

Dangxiang's current king is a conservative and has always respected Song Guo, but I heard that his son is not.

Li Yuanhao.

The name has been passed down to the hands of the emperor.

The only son of the current Dangxiang King Li Deming, who is a year younger than him, cares about his heart. Zhao Zhen is still unwilling to be reconciled to the Liao Kingdom in the north. Doesn't this Dangxiang prince who grew up in a barbaric area have no ambitions?

Li Deming is accumulating wealth for his son, and the day his son grows wings is the day when Dang Xiang wants to be independent.

These days, every movement of Dangxiang in the northwest has been sent back to the Central Committee. Frankly speaking, Song has not cared about this border land for a long time, because since Renzong came to the throne, Dangxiang has been very peaceful now, and it is also extremely friendly to Song. Respect, every tribute is also extremely punctual, and the posture of the envoys sent has always been the most respectful.

Gradually, this place has become a reassuring area in the eyes of the Song court. If it weren't for the farce of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Song Ting would still not bet on it. They always thought that Dang Xiang was raised by Song Ting A loyal watchdog, but never noticed that this dog has grown fat and strong in countless foreign battles.

Renzong didn't blame anyone, it wasn't anyone's fault.All the materials handed up below were written, and the old general in the Northwest had to remind him to be careful of the party items again and again. It was indeed because of various performances of the party items that he was negligent.

Fortunately it's not too late.

This wolf is not yet fully developed, it just wants to mobilize troops against the vassal state, Zhao Zhen still needs an excuse, but Li Deming is very smart, he has hardly left any handles for the Song State, and now the only thing that can make a fuss is that the party item is often used The matter of crossing the border, but that is only the individual behavior of individual herdsmen, and the country cannot be blamed.

Zhao Zhen has been silent all the way since he got into the carriage. Xia Anran didn't know what his cousin was thinking. Seeing that this cousin didn't intend to talk to him, he took out a script book and looked through it, waiting for the carriage When he paused for a while, he flipped the page casually, and met Zhao Zhen's dull eyes.

Xia Anran was taken aback by his brother's lifeless eyes, and finally felt a little bit sorry for his conscience, so he asked his brother in a low voice what happened.

Zhao Zhen stared deeply at his younger brother who had gained a lot of weight after a short vacation, and felt inexplicably guilty, but he still had to say something.

"I want to send Governor Bai to the Yongxing Army to investigate information."

He kept observing his younger brother's expression carefully as he spoke, and saw Xia Anran froze for a moment, then tilted his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Can my younger brother go with me?"

His brother gave him a firm no.

So Xia Anran thought about it again, and asked, "When will I leave?"

"The sooner the better."

"Oh."

Just, that's it?

At this moment, Zhao Zhen, who originally thought that his younger brother would stalk and act like a baby, had already prepared how to justly and ruthlessly reject him, fell into doubts about himself. How did he know that his My cousin has long been used to the days and nights when my partner is on missions!

Strictly speaking, we are also military wives.

Xia Anran thought with some pride.

A moment later, when the carriage was about to step into the imperial city, Xia Anran suddenly asked again, "Brother Huang, can I raise a young man in the courtyard?"

Zhao Zhen:? ? ? ?

The author has something to say: Xia Miao: =w=

White Rabbit: ... Heh.

Zhao Damiao: ... This, this, what should I do! (panic.jpg)

Before the founding of the People's Republic, Dangxiang took a very clever path. They have always been expanding abroad and respecting Song. Therefore, Xixia's rise is entirely due to the leverage between Song and Liao, and Song's carelessness.

But this time I won't be careless!

I saw some babes misunderstood and said that figure skating will not be introduced. The progress of modern figure skating largely depends on the progress of skates. Besides, you know that ancient shoes do not line your feet at all. ……

It is impossible to make standard skates, not to mention ice blades, and even uppers.

In fact, the introduction of figure skating is purely to demonstrate the correct acceleration posture, plus there are some other small reasons, ahem, I will talk about it later, maybe figure skating will develop later, but the main text will definitely not be written, after all...

We play Fast and Furious. (pushes sunglasses)

Your author is greatly, in fact, he has no artistic cells....
