Chapter 447: The Hunt Begins
"Emperor Xie, the concubine will do it. Song Shuyan was overjoyed when he saw that Shen Zeyuan had adopted his own suggestion, and felt that he was not completely excluded from political affairs.
"The suggestion put forward by Aifei is naturally to be handled by Aifei. Shen Zeyuan replied with a doting face.
Soon, the hunt in the West Mountain began, and Shen Zeyuan, who was armed, led the group behind him to the West Mountain, and the paddock hunting was not just a simple hunt.
The courtiers around Shen Zeyuan were more or less selfish, maybe they wanted to be promoted to a knighthood, or maybe they just wanted gold and silver treasures.
Everyone tacitly knew each other, when accompanying the emperor to hunt, the courtiers all tried their best to be in the limelight, but they had to grasp a degree, so as not to be more limelight than Shen Zeyuan.
Otherwise, it would be counterproductive, Song Shuyan sat in the carriage and followed Shen Zeyuan out hunting, Song Shuyan raised the curtain of the carriage and observed all kinds of people gathered around Shen Zeyuan, while always paying attention to whether there were any people with bad intentions.
After Shen Zeyuan led many ministers and generals to Xishan together, he announced loudly: "Today's hunting in the paddock, everyone shows their true level, don't just because I am there, you are all hiding." ”
After the order, Shen Zeyuan announced the start of the hunt, this hunt, in fact, the prey was arranged by Shen Zeyuan in advance, otherwise the ecological environment and food chain of Xishan would have been destroyed long ago after year of hunting.
However, in the process of hunting, it is possible to catch other wild animals that are native to Nishiyama, or it is possible to catch only pre-arranged animals.
But the hunt is only a good omen, everything is arranged, despite this, Shen Zeyuan still hopes to catch other wild animals in the West Mountain this year.
After all, all of these have their own unique prophecies, and around Shen Zeyuan, in addition to the guard generals who must be closely protected, there are also some ministers.
Some of these ministers were strong and knew a thing or two about hunting, while others didn't know how to hunt and just accompanied the emperor to be happy.
Of course, whenever Shen Zeyuan pulled up his bow and arrows and made a move, these ministers always held their breath and stared, for fear of disturbing Shen Zeyuan's attention.
If Shen Zeyuan shoots his prey with a bow, whether it is a camphor or a little hare, the ministers will put on a label of surprise, followed by the boasting of the power of the Son of Heaven.
Shen Zeyuan, who was observing the grass in front of him, suddenly caught a little movement, and he hurriedly put his finger between his mouth, signaling the minister behind him not to make a sound.
The ministers understood and knew that Shen Zeyuan must have found some prey, so they all quieted down, but no one refused to strike first, because in front of the emperor, the prey they found must be captured by themselves.
Shen Zeyuan turned over and dismounted, walked over quietly, and then stopped in front of the grass and cast a trapping net at the fiery red creature in the grass.
The ministers had sensitive eyes, and they stepped forward to help Shen Zeyuan subdue the beast in front of him, and after the beast was completely restrained, Shen Zeyuan realized that he had captured a red fox.
This is something that Shen Zeyuan didn't expect, after all, he didn't arrange a beast like the red fox in advance, it seems that this time he was lucky and caught the wild animals that are native to Xishan.
"The emperor is really a good skill, he actually captured a red fox, you must know that this is a rare animal, it is very rare!" The ministers praised Shen Zeyuan again and again.
"Yes, yes, I really envy others, you see the fur of this red fox, shiny and shiny, it must have eaten a lot of oil and water to raise the fur so shiny. ”
"That's right, the emperor is not only athletic, but even good luck is always on your side, worthy of being the son of heaven, and has been favored by God. ”
Shen Zeyuan listened to the praise and flattery of the ministers around him, and there was not the slightest wave in his heart, after all, these words came from anyone who opened his mouth.
However, Shen Zeyuan naturally understands the preciousness of the red fox, and the capture of the red fox this time made Shen Zeyuan extremely happy, after all, he had not arranged the prey of the red fox before.
Being able to capture the red fox this time was also something that Shen Zeyuan didn't expect. So Shen Zeyuan hurriedly ordered to take good care of this red fox, and also left the red fox by his side.
Although Song Shuyan had been sitting in the carriage and had not participated in the hunting of the men, the fact that Shen Zeyuan had captured the red fox soon reached Song Shuyan's ears, and she was also excited for Shen Zeyuan in her heart.
By now, the paddock hunt has lasted a whole morning, and it's time to end, Shen Zeyuan put away his bow and arrows, and instructed the ministers: "The paddock hunt lasts for a long time, but let's stop here today, everyone have fun!"
The paddock hunt ended with a full harvest, and Shen Zeyuan, who returned with a full load, was very happy.
After returning to the palace, Shen Zeyuan began to review the notes that he hadn't finished reading today, and when he was halfway through the review, he suddenly remembered Wu Zhuangyuan's matter.
So Shen Zeyuan waved his hand, summoned his father-in-law who had been guarding him, and asked, "Is there a new batch of martial champions recruited this year?"
After receiving an affirmative answer, Shen Zeyuan put down the fold in his hand and said to his father-in-law thoughtfully: "Since this is the case, how about letting these martial champions compete with each other?"
Naturally, the father-in-law would not oppose the emperor's decision, so the winning streak was wonderful, and Shen Zeyuan issued an order: "This year, a martial arts competition will be held between the newly recruited martial champions, and the martial champions will be rewarded handsomely." ”
As soon as this news came out, all the martial champions were gearing up and eager to try, bent on defeating others and winning the championship.
In the ring, a father-in-law who presided over the game shouted hard with a sharp voice: "Wu Zhuangyuan competition! Adopt the elimination system of the competition! The order of the game will be decided by lot! Line up to come to me to draw lots!"
When the martial champions heard that the elimination system was adopted, their passion was ignited by the way, after all, the person who won the championship in the end could be richly rewarded.
If you are lucky, maybe you can win the eye in front of the emperor, maybe you can be an official, the official position is in the body, and Yu Lu will definitely be much more than a lot of martial champions, and the treatment is naturally no longer on the same level.
All the martial champions actively came to draw lots, and for others who were also martial champions, they released cruel words: "I won't be soft on you!"
The martial champions who were eager to try hoped to show their faces in front of the emperor in order to get a chance to become an official and a knight.
