The final of the first Tangren Cup Sixteen Guards Championship, exclusively named by Tangren, will be held in two days
Even though many people still don’t know what the exclusive title and tournament mean, it doesn’t affect them knowing that the grand scene of this competition is rare.
The purpose of the Sixteen Guards Competition is not only to compete, but also to show the strength of Chen to the State of Chu and the Western Regions, which has the effect of deterring the Gentiles.
This is a rare event. In addition to the officials in the court and the powerful people in the capital, there are also envoys from other countries, and even His Majesty will attend in person.
After this competition, the organizers of the competition will draw two people under the attention of everyone and give a gift worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. The merchants are seeking profits. This is the first time they have seen such a generous merchant.
Two days before the game, the cavalry camp is already busy
Two days later, in addition to the officials in the court, there were His Majesty and Gentile envoys. They must arrange everything perfectly, and they cannot make His Majesty dissatisfied, nor can they make a fool of themselves in front of outsiders.
The hygiene of the Xiaoqi Camp must be thoroughly cleaned, and the security work will be very important in two days. The door of the Xiaoqi Camp must be arranged to check tickets, enter with tickets, and open special passages for Chen Huang and some people with noble identities. Tang Ning has been in the Ministry of Rites and studied the ritual system of Chen State. He is no longer familiar with this kind of face-saving project.
In this competition, all the tickets were sold, and the few tickets that were rarely circulated on the black market in Beijing have also increased several times, and countless people have been unable to get them.
In previous years, the Sixteen Guards Competition has never attracted such great attention, but this year is different. Tangning spent a lot of effort and money on publicity. The Sixteen Guards Competition has become a national movement.
After suffering many losses, everyone began to realize that they have been underestimating the strength of Zuo Xiaowei. They defeated all their opponents all the way, including many strong enemies who can compete for the first place in the competition, which is definitely not due to luck.
Zuo Xiaowei's strength is recognized, which makes the odds in the last game not very outrageous. Of course, overall, more than half of the people believe that Zuo Xiaowei's myth will end in the hands of Zuo Yuwei.
Tang Ning walked around the venue for the last time, watching General Chen Zhonglang sitting on a step, feeling a little lost, walked over and asked: General Chen, what's wrong?
General Chen Zhonglang raised his head, bowed to him in embarrassment, and said: In a few days, I will call Lord Tang General Tang. In the future, Chen will have to rely more on General Tang...
What is General Chen saying? Tang Ning waved his hand and said: I heard that the General of the Right Yu Guard will be transferred to the north soon. Your Majesty intends to transfer General Chen to the temporary General of the Right Yu Guard...
General Chen Zhonglang was stunned for a moment, immediately stood up and asked: Is there anything wrong?
The news from the palace should not be false. Tang Ning bowed to him and said: Congratulations to General Chen in advance
Chen Zhonglang stood up and bowed: Happy together, happy together...
Among the sixteen guards, it is extremely difficult to promote a senior general. Generally, as long as he is transferred to the battlefield ahead, he can be promoted to another level as long as he has accumulated enough military achievements. The General of the Right Yu Guard was transferred this time. He is probably going to be a general in a certain guard when he comes back. He was transferred to the past for a temporary position. Although it was a flat transfer, how could the Knight Guard compare with the Yulin Guard? He has been in that position for more than a dozen years. Maybe he has a possibility of further success.
Chen Zhonglang swept away the haze in his heart, bowed to Tang Ning, and said: I'll go see those guys, I can only win but not lose in the last competition!
……
Two days passed in a flash
When the emperor attends, safety is always something that needs to be considered first. On the day of the finals of the competition, except for a few people, most of the audience need to enter the venue half an hour in advance.
The emperor's position should naturally be unique. It is located in the center of the stands and has the clearest view, which is isolated from the stands on both sides. The rostrum has a large space. Emperor Chen sat in the front, with King Kang and King Duan beside him, followed by King Huai and King Run. Some important officials in the court and envoys from other countries are located further backwards. As for the rest, they are only outside.
There is only one competition today, and it will not last long. Before the competition begins, there are several singing and dancing programs to cheer you up.
Among them, half of the programs were brought by those small Western countries.
This is a practice in previous years. The Western Regions and the grasslands have different significances to Chen State. Although the Sushen people also have many tribes, all tribes are the same ethnic group, while the Western Regions are different. They are all independent countries. There are constant struggles and frictions between small countries. It is impossible to unite to invade Chen State, and they are not regarded as an enemy by Chen State.
The dances in the Western Regions are more open and enthusiastic than those in the Central Plains. With their navel and thighs exposed, Tang Ning looked up and found that many court officials couldn't help swallowing their saliva.
The women in the Western Regions are treated differently from those in the Chen State. If the women in the court were on the court at this moment, they would probably jump out immediately and be righteous and scold them for being indifferent.
After a dance, several beauties from the Western Regions kneeled on the ground, facing Emperor Chen, holding something in both hands, an envoy of the Western Regions walked forward and said a few words in a gurgling manner.
Emperor Chen looked down and asked: What did he say?
An official from the Honglu Temple walked forward and said: Go back to Your Majesty, this is the envoy of Wu Zi Kingdom. He said this is a peerless piece of jade they found in the Western Regions. He took this opportunity to give it to Your Majesty.
Emperor Chen nodded and said: Come on
Immediately someone walked up and presented it to Emperor Chen
I saw that this jade is green and transparent, and it was not carved, and it was still a piece of uncooked jade.
Seeing this, King Duan immediately bowed and said: Father, this jade is transparent, pure in color, and has no flaws in the whole body. It is actually the best jade. My son congratulates my father on obtaining this treasure!
King Kang just opened his mouth, and when he wanted to say something, he was snatched by King Duan, but he couldn't say anything more, so he could only shut his mouth with an unhappy expression.
Emperor Chen was obviously very satisfied with this gift, looked down and said: It’s rare that you have the intention, I have accepted this gift.
His tone did not pause, and he said: Since you gave such a generous gift, I cannot be stingy, so I will give you 100 kilograms of tea, a thousand pieces of high-quality silk, and a hundred pieces of official kiln porcelain...
The officials of the Honglu Temple translated the words of Emperor Chen to several people, but the envoys of the Western Regions did not get up, but bowed again and said a few words in a hurry.
Emperor Chen looked at him again at the officials of the Honglu Temple
The official of the Honglu Temple looked at the envoy of the Western Regions and turned around and said: Go back to Your Majesty, the envoy of Wu Zi Kingdom said that they do not want to reward, but only ask Your Majesty to send troops to help them and fight against Xiaowan Kingdom...
The Wu Zi Messenger was talking while talking, and the officials of the Honglu Temple explained, and everyone also heard it clearly.
Xiaowan is also a country in the Western Regions. Its strength is now stronger than that of Wu Zi Kingdom. Over the past ten years, it has annexed several small countries in the Western Regions. Wu Zi Kingdom is their next target. This time, Wu Zi Messenger made an inexplicable treasure, and he actually wanted to bring reinforcements.
However, this is obviously inconsistent with Chen's attitude towards the Western Regions. The two countries have always been non-aggressive, and Chen has no precedent for interfering in the state affairs of small countries in the Western Regions.
Moreover, the envoy of Xiaowan State was sitting among the envoys of the Western Regions, and Xiaowan and Chen State had never had any friction. Chen State had no reason to offend a powerful Western Regions because of a piece of jade.
Emperor Chen didn't think for a long time, then looked at them and said: This is a family matter in the Western Regions. I, Chen State, cannot interfere. Today is the Sixteen Guards Competition. These matters will be discussed later.
Emperor Chen has already expressed his opinion that the envoy of Wu Zi Kingdom naturally had no choice but to retreat helplessly
Tang Ning glanced at the envoys and said that war requires money. How could the court do something that is not good? Unless Xiaowan is going to unify the countries in the Western Regions and pose a huge threat to the Chen State, the emperor cannot be bought with just a piece of jade...
After the Wu Zi Envoy retreated, Doctor Wu walked forward and said respectfully: Your Majesty, the time for the competition has come...
Even though many people still don’t know what the exclusive title and tournament mean, it doesn’t affect them knowing that the grand scene of this competition is rare.
