228 The Holy Lord of the Ming Monarch (26)
They walked all the way to the northwest, unhurried, leisurely, without the slightest nervousness and excitement of hunting. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info It's as if he's forgotten about it.
The further you go to the northwest, the deeper you go into the hunting ground, the more you can hear the shouting and noise of some noble sons who hunt here, accompanied by the shy scolding of the nobles, you can imagine how lively the scene will be.
They had no intention of participating in it, so they naturally avoided people, and as a result, when they arrived at the small stream, a long time had passed, so long that many princes and grandsons had already hunted a deer, a few rabbits, a silly roe deer, a fox with red fur, and a few pheasants, etc., which could be described as a bumper harvest.
Ning Xiguang was not envious at all, but quietly bit his ear with the marshal, and said with disgust, "The prey here must be artificially raised, the wildness has been worn out, and it is not fierce, it is too easy to hunt them." These sons and brothers just don't know anything, hmph, I really want to show off my skills, and I have the ability to go to the Western Regions to kill a few Tatars. No matter how bad it is, you can also put pen to paper, show your true chapter on the battlefield, and only fight fiercely with these beasts that have lost their ferocity here, what kind of ability. ”
"Hmm. Fu Siyan pinched her cheeks with tears and laughter, and was very disgusted with her, without the slightest intention of explaining for those princes and grandsons.
This made Ning Xiguang even happier, and his interest in speaking was even higher, "And those little girls, it's okay, don't talk about them, but it's still angry to think about it." During your reign, the people were more open, and although women did not have the ability to participate in politics, it was not a problem for them to support themselves. Some capable people even went to the barracks to kill the enemy and earn military merits, and it was only a matter of time before they wanted to get ahead with their own skills. Those noble ladies are even more high-looking, and they have begun to pursue their lives, either to open a nursery hall, or to sharpen their knives and prepare to participate in the imperial examination, and strive to have a place in the court. The nobles here are all about dressing and comparing, and they are boring. ”
When he said this, Ning Xiguang automatically stripped himself from the column of noble girls who "wore comparisons". You know, although she loves to enjoy, but she is also very much in life, right? Unlike these noble girls now, she really wants to marry a good son-in-law, without the slightest motivation to struggle, and she is simply blind to their superior identity background, which is too wasteful of resources.
She kept thinking about it, although she was venting the frustration in her heart, but more of it was directly refuting today's policies, and she didn't look down on the people's customs when he was in power.
This made Fu Siyan cry and laugh.
Today's folk customs are not caused overnight, and in the 600 years of imperial rule, it is only the successive emperors who have strengthened their control over the imperial power. As a result, after 600 years, the status of women has become lower and lower, until now, even when going out, they have to wear a hat.
Of course, Fu Siyan would not say this to Ning Xiguang. He would only echo her and let him know how wise and powerful he really was compared to the monarchs of the Great New Dynasty.
He said: "Daxin has a woman in power, not only ranking as a second-class member, but also the head of the household department who is in charge of Daxin's money and food and holds great power. ”
"Well, yes, why don't I know?"
"That's because you didn't read the history books. You...... About five years after going there, the women of Daxinguo had the right to participate in the imperial examinations, and as a result, there were many women who could compete with men, ranking above the court, talking eloquently, and with insightful opinions, even better than many men. It's a pity ......"
Ning Xiguang was silent for a moment and then took his words, "It's a pity that not every one of the emperors in the next few times has your heart, and they may not be able to withstand the pressure brought to them by the gradual rise of women's status and can be compared with men." More importantly, if ordinary women can participate in politics and have certain political rights, then wouldn't the royal princess also be able to fight for the throne? The princes will definitely not agree with this consequence, and the pedantic emperors will certainly not be able to bear it, so they will weaken the rights of women little by little, until they are completely expelled from the court and enclosed in the inner house again?"
“…… Well. ”
The topic was a bit heavy, and it made people feel resentful to talk about it, so the two of them stopped mentioning it.
They were so close to the stream that they had just bypassed two stout oak trees and saw the clear water gurgling down the hill.
The water was really clear, and from their vantage point, it seemed that they could see the cold air rising from the stream.
Ning Xiguang gasped, "If it's not cold today, how can there be cold on the stream?"
Fu Siyan shook his head, "I don't know." I heard that the officials of the Qin Tianjian who had surveyed the mountain range earlier said that it seemed that there was a cold pool on the mountain, and that the water flowed from the cold pool. ”
The sound of the water is crisp and pleasant, and the tinkling sound makes people want to reach out and touch it.
Ning Xiguang's fingertips had just touched the stream, and he was grasped by Fu Siyan in the palm of his hand, "The water is warm and cold, and it is easy to hurt the body." ”
"Uh-huh, I see. Ning Xiguang said with a smile, "It's really cold, I feel like my fingertips are frozen, you give me warmth." ”
Ning Xiguang blinked his long eyelashes, and teased the marshal openly, and at this moment, there was a commotion and shouting far ahead.
Listening to the movement, it seems that it has been attacked?!!
Ning Xiguang immediately walked up to Fu Siyan, leaned on him and said, "Is it the fourth prince......
"It's not. Fu Siyan pulled her on the horse, "It's a beast attack, not an assassination." ”
He hugged her on the horse, and Ning Xiguang asked curiously, "Shall we go back now?"
"No, it's too eye-catching to go back, let's go in the other direction, and when the matter is over, we will come out again. ”
Isn't this just to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, ready to make a profit, this is good, she agreed.
Ning Xiguang smiled and nodded at Fu Siyan, "Then why don't you hurry up and get on the horse?" I heard the movement over there getting louder and louder, and it seemed that he was ready to break through the encirclement and flee outside, let's quickly find a hidden place to hide." ”
Indeed, it was only a matter of moments before the noise from the place of the accident became louder and louder.
In addition to the continuous screams, which were terrifying, you can also hear the roars of beasts. The roar seemed to be of a tiger, and it seemed to be a black bear, and just by listening to the sound, you knew that the people over there were going to suffer heavy casualties.
However, this is about her, about the marshal's!!
She has a grudge very much, she hates what the marshal has done now, she has no ability to retaliate before, and now she will die without help.
Thinking so, Ning Xiguang urged the marshal more and more, "Hurry up, hurry up, I'm afraid of death." Let's get out of this place quickly, or I'll let the beasts that come over meet me, and how can I run for my life." ”
Fu Siyan was amused by her "scared" appearance, and did not debunk her careful thoughts, Gu Zi got on the horse, hugged her tightly, and the two rode their horses in a direction contrary to the place of the accident.
And at this time, looking at the severed limbs and bones in one place today, I was almost stunned, and the two trembled, and I was almost scared to pee.
And only five meters away from him, there was a mad tiger, a black bear as tall as an adult man, a tiger and a bear with scarlet eyes for some reason, frantically trying to break out of the encirclement of many guards and pounce on Jinjin.
The father-in-law beside the emperor was pushed out by the emperor in a hurry just now, but he was bitten off his neck by the tiger at once, and a large piece of meat on his face was torn off.
In addition, there are many royal forest soldiers, or they have been bitten in the stomach, and their intestines are flowing out of the ground, and they are still screaming and stuffing the intestines into their stomachs; Others had their arms or thighs removed, and blood was bleeding all over the ground, and they were in danger of dying at any time when they saw more than blood. There are also two people who have been gnawed on half of their heads, and their eyes and noses are even half pulled off their scalps, but they are still hanging on their breath and are shouting in a weak voice for Your Majesty's help......
Help me?
Your Majesty is now unable to protect himself, and where is the help from there?
The seven souls who were really frightened today went to the three spirits, his eyes were glazed, and he didn't know how to give orders for a long time. It was still the commander of the guards of the Imperial Forest Army who reminded him in time, "Your Majesty, the fireworks for help have been released, and I believe that there will be courtiers who will come to the rescue soon. ”
"Yes, yes, yes!! I am the true Son of God, how can these two fierce beasts hurt me. Aiqing, quickly deploy people and horses to escort me back. ”
"Yes. ”
The emperor, guarded by a large number of guards, beat his horse and walked back, leaving a place of guards to eat in the mouths of tigers and black bears.
However, the black bear and the tiger stared at the emperor himself, and when they saw him leaving, they did not love to fight, and chased after the emperor with a crazy roar.
The horse was shocked, the royal secret guards all came out, and the eldest prince and the fourth prince also rushed to the rescue at this time. However, there were more people coming, but they still didn't let everyone get out successfully, because there were not only two fierce beasts of a tiger and a black bear, but two more giant pythons several feet long.
The python was brown and yellow, black and white, and its head was triangular, spitting letters, wrapped around the trees, and came into the air.
They moved so fast and so lightly that the Foresters and the rest of the group, attracted by the tiger and the black bear, didn't even notice them.
If it weren't for the timely dedication of the royal guards hidden in the shadows, perhaps the head would have been devoured by a snake.
This is the real line between life and death!!
After getting out of it, the current emperor is so weak that he can't even ride a horse.
And the two giant pythons that suddenly appeared were tantamount to adding insult to injury to everyone.
Looking at the scarlet eyes of the two beasts, they had lost their minds, and even if they cut a fatal wound on their bodies, they would not care, they would only rush towards the crazy thing that attracted them even more excitedly.
Needless to say, the emperor must have been manipulated to attract these fierce beasts to pursue desperately.
The fourth prince immediately said with righteousness: "Father, why don't you change clothes with the child." Those beasts desperately chased after their father, thinking that their father's clothes were drugged, and they couldn't wear them, and their sons were incompetent, so they were willing to draw the attention of the beasts for their father, and they would never give up. ”
When the emperor heard this, his hands and feet trembled with emotion, and tears welled up in his eyes.
He said a few words in succession, and while stripping off his shirt with the help of the commander of the guards of the Imperial Forest Army, he said in a trembling voice, "My son's filial piety is commendable, but you are the beloved son of your father, how can your father let you die?" ”
The fourth prince wanted to persuade again, but the emperor directly refused, pointed to the two guards casually, and hurriedly put on his splendid court dress embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon.
However, this was still useless, because a few brutes continued to run after the emperor, but they turned a blind eye to the guards in the emperor's court clothes.
The emperor's legs and feet were completely weak, and he almost fell off his horse without paying attention to one side of his body. If it weren't for the timely rescue of the eldest prince, the emperor would have been injured if he didn't die.
Now there was a lot of delay, and many courtiers who rescued the driver also led the guards to hurry over. There are many people, and in the end they escorted His Majesty out of the depths of the dense forest.
After Ning Xiguang and Fu Siyan gossiped for half an hour on a hill far away from the accident site, they faintly heard the noise gradually moving out of the dense forest, which was a sign that the emperor had left the dense forest.
She listened quietly for a while, then got up from the marshal's lap, straightened her messy hair, and said with a smile, "Almost, it's time for us to go out." If you don't go over, it won't be easy to explain when the time comes. ”
"Well, let's go. ”
The two rode out of the dense forest on horseback, and when they returned to the periphery of the hunting ground, a tiger and a bear, and two giant pythons, all of them had been ambushed.
However, His Majesty clearly hated the four beasts, and not only had them skinned, but even ordered the guards to chop up a few of them into minced meat and feed them to the vicious dogs.
Hearing this news, the corners of Ning Xiguang's speechless mouth twitched.
The first order of the king of a country after escaping from danger turned out to be like this, which shows the heart and nature of this emperor.
The narrow-minded and inferior means of doing things can't be put on the table, and the nature of the eyes will be repaid, and the bad will not be remembered.
There is such an emperor, tsk, I think that many courtiers should have some ideas in their hearts at this time.
Fu Siyan and Ning Xiguang arrived belatedly, attracting everyone's attention, and the current emperor looked at the five princes who were tall and heroic, and the gloomy color in his eyes could hardly be concealed.
He picked up a teacup and was about to throw it in the air, when a few swishing arrows were heard not far away.
"It's not good, there's an ambush, watch out for the dark arrow!!"
A sword appeared in Fu Siyan's hand at some point, and with a simple move, he swung away three arrows aimed at the current emperor. If he hadn't acted in time, he would have been pierced through his heart by an arrow at this time, and he couldn't die anymore.
The current emperor escaped death and was assassinated again, rolled his eyes a few times, and almost fainted.
Fortunately, Weijun's dignity stopped him in the end, but after he sat upright, he made another move, that is, the noble concubine Niangniang, who had been pampered by him for half his life, and the pear blossoms and rain around him, pulled him over and used it as a shield in front of him.
