Chapter 65 Ice Games
Chapter Tips:
Dougen came in person in a big ice bed. The ice bed is luxurious, the base is like a dragon boat, painted with gold on both sides, and two long angle irons are installed at the bottom of the ice bed.
At this moment, an eunuch came to reported, "Lord Weiss is here!"
Come so fast!
Taozhuo secretly said in his heart, "Xuan!"
Wes came forward and asked: Empress Dowager, how will this year's ice competition be held?"
Wes must have understood that he was so pressing so step by step. Since it has aroused doubts in life, just don't do it and never stop. Taozhuo made up his mind. He said lightly, "The king of this ice competition is the most important. But now Wang Shang is a little unwell, so this year's ice game will be avoided!"
Wei Si's face changed, and he could not allow such an opportunity to be missed in his own hands, so he insisted: Wang Shang once said, "Bing Xi activities are important to the national system! There is no possibility that it can be avoided.
Tao Zhuo looked at Wei Si and said, "What's the opinion of the minister?"
Wes Dao: I'm thinking that there are still more than ten days before the ice competition. I think that the king must be healthy! It's just right to hold a game at that time."
Taozhuo said in his heart, "What a Wes, my family wants you to say this!"
Seeing that Wei Si was so urgent, Tao Zhuo knew that he had taken the bait and said, "Nanyuan Bohai, I'm afraid this year's ice is not very thick. I'm afraid it's not hard and smooth enough. Why don't it be held in Wulongtai this year!"
Wes said, "Empress dowager, who will arrange this year's ice competition?"
"This year, Wang Shang has just set up, so let Wang arrange it later! What do you think, minister?" Peach burning faintly.
Wes thought to himself, how can a brothel woman be arranged? It seems that the country of Xiangyang is really unmanized. Wei Si is more and more happy when he thinks of this. He nodded and said, "I think it's very appropriate!"
Seeing Wei Si go down, Jiaoyang asked worriedly, "Empress do, what should I do now? When the king goes here, Wei Chen is sure to see the flaw. Is Weis's power too big? If he finds an opportunity to take advantage of it, I'm afraid the consequences will be unpredictable!"
Tao Zhuo said, "Wes is an auxiliary minister, and the mourning family once thought of impeaching Weis with another auxiliary minister. However, Weiss is too powerful. The two sons are ministers of culture and martial arts, and their daughters are concubines. They control almost half of the government. Who dares to touch him? Moreover, the regime above the court of Xiangyang is very unstable now. If you openly move him, the power will fall. This will not work."
Jiaoyang said angrily, "It's better to let Dougen directly order Weis to arrest Weis!"
Taozhuo shook his head and said, "Catch Wei Si directly. On the contrary, Wes will rebel. Weiss will not rebel in the name of anti-imperialist. But it is difficult to rise up. The banner is: Qingjun's side. He just needs to say that the Empress Dowager intervened. Then we have no place to deal with."
"But now Wei Si's power is getting stronger and bigger. If he finds that Dougen is in such a situation now, he may invite Dougen to meditate and set up a small emperor to continue to be an auxiliary minister himself. Or change the dynasty. I'm afraid that the country of Xiangyang will be lost in our hands!" Jiaoyang said urgently. It is to convict Weis in front of the public, how to convict him, saying that he will arbitrarily rebel, but there is no evidence!"
"This doesn't work, and that doesn't work either. Is it possible to let him be so arrogant?" Jiaoyang said angrily, "Wes has a wide ear thread in the palace. Everything in the palace is controlled by Wes. It is difficult to use the army silently. Weis Mansion is very difficult to attack. What's more, the Wei family has three father and sons. Wei Si's martial arts skills are unrivaled, and there are also guards in his mansion. Once the army didn't catch him, they let him run away. Then he can rise up in turn and directly depose the king. Even if we have to use a large army. The problem is that there are soldiers and horses in the hands of Weis, and the army can't be mobilized at all. As long as there is a wind blowing, Weis will turn against it.
"Yes!" Tao Zhuo said, "Isn't it okay to summon Weis alone without the ministers? Weis is not a fool. You call this alone. Wouldn't that force Wes to launch a coup? Therefore, it can only be taken by wisdom. Wes is alive, and the army listens to Wes. The death of Weiss is equivalent to losing a head. How can you rebel? What's more, the army must have reasonable and legal words to rebel. Wei Siding can say that my coup is not a rebellion, but on the side of the Qing Dynasty. But when Weis died, what was the reason for the army's rebellion?
Tao Zhuo whispered over Jiaoyang. Jiaoyang nodded, and everything was clear in his heart.
This ice play competition has always been the national custom of Xiangyang, so there is a lot of preparatory work to be done before the ice play event.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs first sent eunuchs to sprinkle water on the ice to ensure that the ice surface was as smooth as a mirror, and then placed the salute and set up a flag gate. After all the preparations were ready, the emperor, accompanied by princes and ministers and civil and military officials, visited the ice rink to watch the performance.
So prepared for ten days, everything is right. The bean root has gradually improved under the care of Dr. Hu. Everything is ready, and today is the Ice Festival.
Early in the morning, Dougen came in person in a big ice bed. The ice bed is luxurious, the base is like a dragon boat, painted with gold on both sides, and two long angle irons are installed at the bottom of the ice bed. A square wooden shed stands on the dragon boat, with yellow satin pasted outside the shed and connected to the gold lacquer treasure roof. There is a glass window on both sides of the shed, with a carved dragon throne and two crossbars in the rear. The ice bed glides like flying under the push of everyone. Dougen sat on this special ice** with great excitement. The ice bed glided on the Kowloon platform, and Dougen looked at the silver-covered and vast snow scenery. The heart is in full bloom.
As long as the ice players enter the competition area, they will have to put down the weapon. The ice player is composed of soldiers and officers and soldiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They are all dressed in military uniforms and perform wonderful performances of various projects. More than 1,000 people who participated in the performance were divided into two teams: one team leader wore red vests and team members wore red vests; the other team leader wore yellow vests and team members wore yellow vests.
On the backs of the team members, there are small flags such as positive yellow, red, blue, white, yellow, red, blue and white. The knees are wrapped in leather knee pads and leather boots with ice skates. Where the celestial sphere hangs on the ice rink, there are three flag gates with colorful celestial spheres hanging high, and the players shoot the ball while sliding. In the ice acrobatic performance, the most exciting is the ice archery competition. The skate is wearing a robe and holding a bow and arrow.
Three flag gates are set up in parallel in the center of the field, with colorful balls hanging on them. The archers composed of one or two hundred soldiers of the Eight Banners are lined up, holding bows and arrows. The majestic posture is amazing.
As soon as the order sounded, the archers scrambled to get out, did not give in to each other, and quickly slid to the flag gate and used unique skills: some bowed down to shoot; some slid over the flag gate and looked back and shot quickly; some with one foot ice, such as the golden chickens were independent, and the bows and arrows came out, agile and heroic. Exactly: the ice shines with silver light, the arrows flash like flying locus, the arm of the ape is dedicated to the hand, and the colorful ball flies to the king.
