After the ministers paid New Year's greetings to the emperor, the emperor gave Bansheng a hairpin made of gold foil or silk as usual. The civil and military officials of the court immediately put colorful flowers on their heads, and you can imagine those who have a stern face all day long.

The literati who looked like a deputy guard and priests wore hairpins and looked ridiculous.

Next, envoys from various countries went to congratulate. The ambassador of the Liao Kingdom held a golden crown, wore a purple robe, tied a gold plate with a golden plate on his waist, and visited the Khitan etiquette, kneeled on one leg, and did not kowtow. According to the rules of previous years, the Xia Kingdom should also send envoys.

But last year the two countries launched another war, so of course they would not come; then the Uighurs, the envoys of Khotan, the five surnames of the Southern Barbarians, and the Zhenla, Dali, Dashi and other countries also sent people. The emperor immediately gave them a gift.

Clothes such as Han clothing, brocade jackets, may be like the current "Eight Kingdoms Summit". The host has to give the most nationally distinctive clothing.

The court ceremony ended, and the emperor held a state banquet to entertain the ministers. There were tens of thousands of people attending the court meeting today, and the Daqing Hall could not be placed in the Grand Palace, so we were divided into different seats, and the seats under the butt were different. Prince, with high taste

The officials, the third division and the third tribe, were promoted to the hall and seated at Xiudun; the commander and commander of the government affairs were sitting in the hall and Pudun; the Du Yuhou sat in the Duo Hall, and the rest sat in two corridors

They didn't have a stool to sit on the ground, they all sat on the ground like a meal at the construction site. However, the emperor felt sorry for them and was afraid of catching a cold and having diarrhea.

Everyone's seats are displayed with uneasy food, and there are differences in ranks of viewing plates. The most common people display the plates include ring cakes, oil cakes, date towers, and pigs, sheep, chickens, gooses, and rabbits in front of the envoys of the Liao Kingdom.

, even looking at the meat and flesh.

After the banquet was announced, the wine was poured first. During the wine pouring, there were a series of performances, such as ventriloquism, music, dance, and many other ways. After drinking, there was also a performance of music, dance, and acrobatics for each drink of wine.

.Men and women participating in the performance were all dressed in red scarves and colorful clothes. The rules of the Song Dynasty, the entire banquet was usually filled with nine cups of wine.

The dishes for wine-making are not prepared at the beginning, and they will not be provided until the third cup is drinkable. What dishes and snacks are provided? The items for wine-making at the third cup include: meat, salted soybean, fried meat, and

There are double-low hump horns. The dishes and snacks at the fourth cup include: roasted bones, souvenirs, white meat, and Hu cakes. The dishes and snacks at the fifth cup include: Qunxian roast, ceiling cake, Taiping Biluo, and dry rice

, , silk soup, lotus meat patties. The sixth cup of wine provides fake turtle fish and honey-floating crispy flowers. The seventh cup provides cooked sheep, Hu cake, and roasted golden intestines. The eighth cup of wine provides fake sand fish,

Put steamed buns and soup. At the ninth cup, serve rice and rice with rice.

Zhao Qi was so angry that he ate this meal from about nine o'clock in the morning until dark in the afternoon. Although the small table of dishes in front of him changed table after table, his stomach was still halfway. This was the first time he attended a state banquet.

I don't know the mystery, and looked at the old men next to me, even my brothers were watching the show and drinking, but they rarely moved their chopsticks. He was afraid of being rude and did not dare to move. According to his previous life's thinking, he thought about it.

The big dishes are the last one. I thought that these people might be waiting for the delicious food behind them, but when the last table of dishes came, he realized how stupid he was, and only a bowl of rice and a few plates of pickles were left.

"Damn, this is called a bullshit state banquet, no one reminds me." Zhao Qiong ate a little pickled vegetables and drank porridge, and cursed in his heart. The banquet was over. Not to mention the Manchu and Han banquets of the Qing Dynasty, it was just the ordinary banquet now.

There are no prawns, elbows, roast chicken, and roast duck. I never met fish and shrimps at all, let alone bird's nest, bear's paw, fish lips, hump, monkey brain and other delicacies. I guess tens of thousands of people can eat this state banquet.

The wedding banquet for the 'Coal Boss' is full of flowers.

In the second day of the lunar month, Zhao Qiong made up for a day at home, and the mansion also took a vacation. He sent a red envelope to let them move freely. If they were willing to go to the restaurant, they would go to the restaurant. If they were willing to buy things, they would go to the food. This year, he had a good harvest and three more

A million yuan was recorded, and it was not short of money. Now the "domestic buns" who came to Beijing had to open their eyes and could have some fun when they came home in the future.

Zhao Qiong, the third year of junior high school, was ordered to enter the palace early in the morning. Today, he was going to Nanyuyuan to accompany the emperor to watch the archery competition with Liao envoys. This activity has been held for many years and has become a must-have program for the Spring Festival. The two countries have been doing it for many years.

For many years, the Song Dynasty fought against Liao, but in wars with Liao, fewer wins and more losses, and ceded land and paid compensation, I wanted to find the winner in sports competitions and save some face. The Liao Dynasty meant to show its own force and make it bigger.

Song Shishishi remembers that Liao Dynasty is unparalleled in cavalry and shooting, be honest, you have to give me whatever I want, don’t have any bad thoughts, so the competition has become a secret battle between the two countries and a grand event in Bianliang City every year.

, attracted countless people to watch.

When he arrived at Nanyuyuan, the imperial guards had already made preparations, opened the venue, surrounded it with yellow curtains, and separated the crowds watching the fun. Zhao Ji led the ministers, the princes and the royal family to have titled No. 100 people. He

The throne in the middle, the court officials of the two countries sat opposite each other. The drum sounded three times, and the competition began. The straight archery squads of the Palace Front Division set up arrow piles, and players from both countries appeared fifty steps away. It is said that the Liao people were good at using bows, and the Song Dynasty

People are good at using crossbows, but the people sent by the Liao Kingdom chose crossbows, so they could only use bows here.

The man who ended in Liao Kingdom was wearing a footless little head, wearing a brocade jacket, and stomped the crossbow with his feet and circled and danced. Zhao Qi looked at him and wondered, not knowing whether he was showing off or begging, and then he took an arrow and aimed.

The target, the envoy of the Liao Kingdom came to correct the situation and then fired the arrow.'Dongdong.

．

’The drum sounds three-way, and the center is in the red heart.

Next, it was the general of the Song Kingdom who was accompanying shooting. He was not vague. He bowed his front legs and stretched his back legs, and pulled the bow and shot arrows to hit the red heart. They were all straightforwards from the imperial troupes and were the emperor's closest entourage.

It is equivalent to the current Central Guard Corps, and of course it is not bad at kung fu.

Two people shot the target, shot the plate, shot the egg after the plate, shot the three arrows, shot the two sides did not decide the outcome. It was said that it was a good thing for the peace and everyone was happy during the Chinese New Year, and Zhao Ji gave the reward to the winner.

Prepare to divide it into two and reward two people.

"The envoy of the Liao Kingdom had something to say, saying that the winner was not decided by the archery, and the two princes of other countries wanted to be more superior to our dynasty." An official from the Honglu Temple said in front of this skill.

"Oh" Zhao Ji was a little surprised, but he had to accept it even if he made a move. Otherwise, he would have to fall in love with him. Then he thought that the other party was challenging him with two princes, but he didn't know if his sons could do it.

"Emperor of the Song Dynasty, if you can't send someone out, even if you lose, please give us the reward." Just as Zhao Qi was hesitating, a young man wearing a golden crown and a white fur coat came out and said,

Needless to ask, he is one of the princes of the Liao Kingdom.

"Hmph, my child is rude, my country is so great, how can there be no one?" If you lose, you can't lose. How could Zhao Ji scare a child? He scolded him with a harsh voice.

"Fifth brother must not be rude. How come there are no warriors among the many princes of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty?" Another person from the Liao Kingdom said that it was persuasion. It would be better to add fuel to the fire, and the gunpowder smelled stronger in the field.

"Which prince is going to fight?" Zhao Ji looked at his son sitting on his right hand and said. These are the consequences of his hard work over the years. He already has twenty-five sons, five died and twenty more.

Today, twelve people who can walk back and watch the fun came, only seven of them were crowned kings, and the rest were either princes or dukes. Now it is six to one, and there are more than twenty clan relatives.

They are also their own nephews, and they can pick two of them. He is still confident in victory.

The emperor's words shocked the ministers who accompanied him in the field. They knew his son even better than the emperor. If you want to talk, the boss Zhao Huan will definitely do it. That is a mouthless gourd.

I never heard him say anything in the court; the third brother Zhao Kai can kill them with a brush; the fourth brother will die; the fifth brother and the sixth brother will not read except for being able to eat and play.

What skills do you have? The seventh, the eighth, and the nineth are less than ten years old, so I guess they can't even pull the bow; the rest are just not enough to eat milk, and even more so. As for those royal families, although they are all military officers,

I have never seen them do the work of military generals; as for Lao 2 Zhao Qi and the others, they just ignored it. Although they were known as "heroic", they only saw him playing turtle punches twice to beat Wang Fu and "Guan Yu".

I heard that he could shoot archery. The Liao Kingdom started with riding and shooting. I heard that the current Liao emperor Yelu Yanxi is even more unparalleled in riding and shooting. His son must be no different. Otherwise, how dare you challenge it in public, but the emperor has already

I can't help myself

"If any emperor can defeat them, he will be granted a general, granted a gold belt, and detained a horse." Zhao Ji saw that his sons were timid and dodged, and he didn't even have the courage to fight. He opened the reward order and spoke in his voice.

Be strict.

"My son is willing to fight with the prince of Liao." Zhao Qi didn't want to end at first. He felt that his brothers had received formal education. Shooting is one of the six arts of gentlemen. It will definitely not be too bad, better than his wild fox Zen

It's much stronger, but when they see that they all look at the nose and keep their noses silent, they know that it's not good. To be honest, they're just leaving their father there, losing the royal face, and to say that

Even if there was no one in the Song Dynasty, he lost the face of the country, which made him, a former passionate soldier, stand it. He stood up and went out and said loudly.

"Who else is willing to fight?" Zhao Ji felt warm and breathed a sigh of relief. At the critical moment, his second boy would give him a face, but the other party was two people, and there was still one missing?

Zhao Qi glanced at his brothers. The big ones were not very good. If everyone didn't do it, he would be fine, and he would be embarrassed. But as soon as he stood up, his nature would be serious.

Behavior is cowardice, and not being able to share the worries of the father and emperor is unfilial.

"Are you willing to give me a try?" When he saw Zhao Gou's heart moved, Zhao Gou's face turned red, his fists were clenched, and he was in the battle between humans and gods. Zhao Jie understood that he had been waiting for the opportunity to make a name for himself.
