After Zhao Huan gave the order, he returned to the palace, but he was very happy with Yue Yun's bravery and straightforwardness. Whenever he summoned him, he would look for a place in the palace and ordered Yue Yun and others to compete with the guards of the banzhi to compete with each other's martial arts. He became interested and also went on stage to compete with Yue Yun for riding and shooting skills.

However, although he practiced diligently and had good teachers, his foundation was too weak. Compared with ordinary soldiers, his cavalry and shooting skills were naturally strong, and he was not weak when he met ordinary generals. Compared with the talented and battle-produced enemies like Yue Yun, his kung fu was more than a little worse. After a few times, Zhao Huan also knew his background, so he was clever and did not make any progress. He only went to watch Yue Yun compete with the imperial troupes in his spare time to watch from the sidelines, and also had a lively and joyful look.

On this day, Yue Yun came to the palace, but he met Li Xianzhong, the master of the right-class team of the scattered team. The two were about the same age, both young talents and both had excellent martial arts skills. Although Li Xianzhong made great contributions in the Taiyuan war, he was also selected by Zhao Huan as the commander and Ban Zhi. Compared with Yue Yun, both of his reputations and fame were far apart. He was also a proud person, and Zhongyuan was not convinced. In the past few days, Yue Yun suffered repeated defeats in the palace. Everyone was holding their breath and secretly encouraged Li Xianzhong, but wanted to make him compete with Yue Yun.

Both of them were young and were like thunderous fires when they met, and they immediately started to take action.

Fortunately, Zhao Huan watched from the side, and a few words of advice were given to him, and then he secretly gave Yue Yun a wink, asking him to leave room for Li Xianzhong.

Yue Yun was very clever. When he saw the emperor's eyes, he knew the meaning. When he immediately started fighting with Li Xianzhong, he was not too slow, and his swords and guns were very lively. The onlookers could not tell that Yue Yun was intentionally giving in, shouting and applauding Li Xianzhong.

Zhao Huan was so skilled, but he was very old. He could see that Li Xianzhong was indeed not Yue Yun's opponent. If he hadn't ordered Yue Yun to hold back, he would have been knocked over to the ground long ago. This kind of half-true and half-false martial arts competition was meaningless. Zhao Huan looked at it for a while, but his mind was already wandering around the sky.

His marriage date is approaching at this time, and it is funny to think about it. He got married once in his previous life, with a son and a daughter. Zhao Huan's body was also the virtuous person of Zhu. When he was hunting in the north, he was unwilling to be humiliated and died of water. Using this excuse, Zhao Huan enjoyed the blessing of Qi in the harem, and did not delay anything in the past few years. Since the birth of the prince Zhao Dun, the second son of the emperor, Zhao Zheng, and the emperor Dejin, came to the imperial family one after another. In total, he was already two daughters and one daughter. Zhao Dun's mother, Zhu's mother, was noble for her son.

He has been named the Imperial Concubine, and there are many other concubines and beauties.

In this way, the status of Prince Zhao Dun has been determined long ago, and the other princes will be born one after another, fearing that if the emperor has an accident, the embarrassment of no one in the world will no longer exist.

As for the emperor's lack of a queen, it has become the emperor's family affairs, and it does not cost the literati and the people the trouble.

Zhao Huan's own psychology is actually mainly about solving physiological needs. With his experience, it is impossible to value love like a young man. However, most women in the harem are from humble origins. In addition, they are strict inside and outside to prevent problems from happening, and there is no possibility of causing trouble.

The Song Dynasty had no relatives to cause trouble, nor did the eunuchs serve as the country, but they had the power to keep the queen mother behind the curtain. Zhao Huan did not like to lose power, so the prime minister Li Gang, who most trusted and trusted, was far away in Xiangyang, leaving only the officials and political affairs in Chang'an. There was no woman in the harem who was on par with him, and now she had less constraints and she had to find a way to leave a system in the future. She would not have the trouble of having a female protagonist in the country.

Sima Guang's history books say that although the Empress Zhenzong was born in a humble family, she made considerable contributions to the Song Dynasty. However, she abandoned Wang Anshi and all the new laws and the new party, which indirectly caused party disputes was also the Queen Mother who was behind the scenes.

People at that time praised that the empress dowagers of the Song Dynasty were all wise and protected the country, but Zhao Huan had different understandings about these.

After all, Zhao Huan was not a saint, and his descendants would inevitably take over this country. Any disadvantages he knew must be eliminated in the bud.

When marrying Zhe Yuexiu, Zhao Huan has been calculating about gains and losses in his heart.

It is undeniable that he has an extraordinary favorable impression of this beautiful girl with a tradition of generals, who speaks and does things smoothly and acts with extraordinary riding and shooting, but when he gets married, he has a stake in the interests of not being in line with his feelings.

Before the founding of the Queen, he had officially appointed Zhao Dun as the crown prince and his reputation was established. Even if the queen gave birth to a legitimate son in the future, he could not compete for the throne anymore. After Zheyuexiu came to the palace, there was no need to mention the benefits outside. It also had a great suppression effect on suppressing the recent jealousy and power-for-profit limelight in the harem women.

When Zhao Huan thought of this, he could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

I thought I was the emperor's honor, what are some women in the harem? Don't you know that the most difficult thing in the world is your own woman. No matter you are a great hero, the other party lowers his eyebrows and bows his waist and turns his fingers around. Could it be that you slapped the woman with a smile on the face of the flowery woman?

Therefore, Zhao Huan was worried about these open and secret struggles, but he couldn't pay attention to them. He could not send a team of imperial guards to drag them out and kill them all. Moreover, this kind of thing was inevitable. The man only favored but not all, and the servants who served him, monthly payments, rewards, decentness in front of others, one after another, made the originally pure and lovely poor women gradually change. But who was the one who was not Zhao Huan?

I can only blame myself for not being a saint, Zhao Huan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

However, there was a little weirdness in his smile. He met Zhe Yuexiu while watching the lanterns, but in fact he met him when visiting Zhe. After seeing Zhe, the emperor often took advantage of the excuse of visiting Mrs. Zhe in a misfortune and ran to Zhe's house in the name of visiting Mrs. Zhe.

Not long after, everyone in the Zhe Mansion knew that the emperor had the intention to share Zhe Yuexiu. It was natural that the emperor had issued an edict shortly after a while, and appointed Zhe Yuexiu as the queen.

Naturally, he could not make a private life with the eldest lady of the Zhe family. There were many stories in the Song people's books, but unfortunately they were not all good stories. Moreover, his status and status would be greatly damaged if he made such a comeback. He wanted to marry Zhe Yuexiu to appease the generals and the soldiers in the West, soothe the harem. It was not a tender love story.

With his identity, his experience, and his repatriation, how could he really have any personal relationship in his heart?

All creatures in the world are in control, and asking for and taking them is the mind of a man!

While in a daze, Yue Yun had already swept the spear in Li Xianzhong's hand with a sword. The two of them had changed their weapons. Li Xianzhong was still unable to fight, and he also vaguely felt that the other party was showing mercy under his hands. Although he was arrogant and confident, he was not a person who could not afford to lose. He immediately clasped his fists at Yue Yun and smiled:

"Major General Yue is very skilled in martial arts, but I am far inferior to him, so I admit defeat."

He is tall and handsome, and has a unique temperament that only a century-old general family has. After his defeat, he no longer gets entangled, nor has he pretended to be pretentious, but he admits surrender calmly. His upright demeanor makes Yue Yun admire him very much. He now respectfully bows his hand and smiles:

"Where, I just took a quick look to defeat the general."

Zhao Huan came to his senses and was happy to see them so like each other. He immediately ordered: "Reward one of the newly created horizontal swords of the two generals."

The horizontal sword was also commonly used by the Tang people, but in the Song Dynasty, it was gradually lost, commonly known as the "Tang-like Big Sword". Because it was difficult to build, the wars at the end of the Tang Dynasty, craftsmen were lost, technology was lost, and there was no economic force to support the creation and matching of the horizontal sword, so it gradually became a world-famous treasure sword. The Song Dynasty had no tribute relationship with Japan at that time, and the Japanese did not take the weak Song Dynasty seriously. It was never as respectful to the Chinese Supreme Kingdom as the Tang Dynasty. However, due to the trade between the two countries, the Japanese gradually became popular all over the country and became a heirloom treasure that needed a lot of money to buy.

Zhao Huan had a unique psychology towards Japan that only later generations had. He hated the past of the war between the two countries, and admired the other party's national interest in learning and strength. In order not to give the other party any opportunity to make money or despise China, he took advantage of the opportunity of military preparation and summoned craftsmen and even secretly sent people to Japan to secretly learn the forging technology of horizontal swords. Finally, he could return the lost craftsmanship again.

The emperor was about to hold a wedding, and even the atmosphere in the palace was filled with an indescribable joy. After hearing Zhao Huan's orders, several eunuchs happily picked up the new and brand-new horizontal swords and held them in front of the two young generals.

Yue Yun and Li Xianzhong looked at each other and smiled, took the knife with both hands, thanked Zhao Huan, first took his original sword, and then tied the horizontal sword to his waist.

Zhao Huan looked up at the spring breeze and first called the two of them forward, and then called the dozens of guards in the inner palace in the field to come over, and said with a smile: "Yue Fei and Li Xianzhong, one is a noble family, with martial arts, and the other has learned martial arts from his father since he was a child. After a long battle formation, you lost to them. In fact, it is nothing. In the past, most of the guards in the inner palace in Tokyo were taken from a noble family, and there are many people with extraordinary martial arts skills. Although you were the elite troops selected on that day, you cannot compare with the children of the aristocratic family."

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what his words meant. In fact, among the children of aristocratic families, there were naturally better than the military men who came from ordinary people, but there were also many playboys and all kinds of martial arts. Although there were many children of aristocratic families with excellent martial arts in Tokyo that day, there were also many children of an imperial guard who could not even carry Lumi and needed to hire someone else to carry it on their behalf.

But Zhao Huan frowned and said, "Since the Jurchen chaos, the country has lost a lot of land, and it has even more touching the decline of talents. From now on, I have many generals in my hands, but there are many cowardly talents under the generals. How many are there like Yue Yun and Li Xianzhong? So I have seen everyone performing martial arts in the past few days, and actually have plans in my mind. From the beginning of Chang'an, I will build martial arts lecture halls in various places, select generals with high martial arts skills and long-standing battle formations as instructors, and select brave and smart martial arts from Sanzhi to study. If I select the best ones as generals, then there is hope for a strong army."
