Chapter 0178: Good Imperial Guard
Following Qianlong's gaze, he saw a good garden outside the archway. When I looked at it, the garden was large, but there were no trees to cover it, and it seemed to be deserted. Qianlong asked curiously: "Ruoqing, is this the garden you are talking about?" Let's go in and have a look. ”
Gege smiled silently and followed Qianlong into the garden. The garden is overgrown with weeds, and there are no pavilions, winding paths, verandahs, just a glimpse of weeds that have just turned green. Qianlong was surprised: "This is strange, it is said that such a big garden, which big family should it be, but why is there no scenery in the garden, it is actually a withered grass and wild green?" ”
As he was talking, he saw a large flock of sheep running from the west side, bleating and eating grass. The sheep are free-range, without shepherds. And they were seeing their sights, and a great herd of horses came out on the east side, and there was no one at once, and they were also screaming and wandering in the garden.
Prince He smiled and said: "Such a big garden, it looks like the scenery of our prairie, isn't it the emperor?" ”
Looking at it this way, it really looks like an artificial grassland. Qianlong said again: "This is strange, why does a good garden sell horses and sheep? Ruoqing, what do you say is going on? ”
Gege was silent, but asked the prince: "The prince has insight into the world, and he must know the recent customs and trends of the Jingshi, can you tell the emperor clearly?" ”
Seeing that Gege pointed the finger at himself, he and the prince began to pretend to be crazy and stupid again: "What if Ruoqing is laughing again? Hongday, I have to live a life: the world is impermanent, the gold bottle is delayed, and the cup is drunk with red dust. It is rare to have a confidant in life, and you can talk about the past and the present when you push the cup. It's not that I said, yesterday I drank half a night with my little confidant, and I didn't get up until this morning. If it weren't for the meat I ate last night, I wouldn't have digested it. I won't go to the emperor to ask for tea during the day. When it comes to wine and meat, I'm better at it than anyone else. How can I know the direction of the customs like Ruoqing said? ”
Qianlong knew that this fifth brother was the most wise and foolish, and he was clumsy and clumsy, so he ordered: "Fifth brother." There is no one else here, just say, whether it is right or wrong, I will not blame you. ”
As a last resort, Prince He said in a deep voice: "Speaking of the recent customs and trends, the younger brother knows a little bit. The emperor restored the ancestral system of Mulan Autumn Hunting, up and down, and the ministers below figured out that the emperor liked martial arts, so there were many enclosures. Enclosure for horses. Hunting and archery in the park. ”
Qianlong scolded: "Nonsense! I am afraid that the days of peace will be long, and the Eight Banners and banners will be deserted, and I will be afraid of war, and the soldiers will be afraid of the sound of artillery. Don't talk about anything else, let's just say that Jinchuan is a small place, with a population of tens of thousands, and tens of thousands of troops and horses have entered it, and we have spent a lot of money and grain. It's still a loss to this day, what does it mean? Soldiers are not brave! If we want to go on like this for a long time, I'm afraid that our Qing Dynasty will not be long away from destruction. That's why I only restored the autumn hunting, but it was just a way to borrow the field to hunt and practice. Don't get to the Chongzhen era. It will be too late when the general is powerless. It's a pity that my thoughts, why did they turn bad down there? The Central Plains is still a farmer. How can it be compared to the outside of the plug? What's the deal with raising horses in the garden like this? ”
He said to the prince: "The emperor has far-reaching insights, how can the people of his subordinates understand it clearly? He was about to make a point. To curb this unhealthy habit, I suddenly heard a gust of fishy wind coming from afar. His heart was not good. Hurriedly turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw a majestic spotted tiger walking unhurriedly. Prince He was taken aback, and hurriedly said to Qianlong: "Your Majesty, it's not good, quit quickly!" ”
While talking, Qianlong and Gege also saw this spotted tiger. The horses and sheep heard the movement and rushed out in groups. The big worm seemed to have just eaten enough, and when it saw them fleeing from the front, it didn't even chase them, but only squinted its eyes and stretched its hind legs lazily.
For the sake of safety, Prince He asked Qianlong to retreat quickly, after all, their trip was only a private visit to Weifu, and they only brought three or five imperial guards when they came, and they never thought that they would meet fierce beasts here. But what kind of person is Qianlong, how can he leave lightly? He stood firmly in front of the tiger, staring at it staring, as if provoking it: I am the true son! You're just a brute, dare you talk to me?
Seeing that Qianlong insisted on not going, he and the prince couldn't do it anymore, so he ordered the guards behind him to come forward to protect the emperor. The tiger first began to be unimpressed, stretched its legs, twisted its neck, and let out a low tiger roar from its throat, as if threatening others: I am the only one here, those who stand in my way die, idle people, etc., leave quickly.
Or maybe it didn't expect to meet someone who is really not afraid of death here, and when it turned around leisurely, it saw a group of people surrounding it. It shook its spirits, took two steps forward, and howled twice at the pedestrian with its eyes glared.
If it were normal, these people would have fled long ago. But the people it met today were different, these guards were selected as the imperial guards after all, they were not idle people, they all had unique skills and excellent martial arts. On weekdays, the emperor is in the palace, and there are no disasters and no difficulties, how can they show their skills? When they saw the tiger at first sight today, it was the time for them to show their true heroic qualities, how could they retreat lightly?
Qianlong was not willing to let people go, and shouted: "Take down this beast, I want this tiger skin!" ”
"Piercing!" The five guards responded in unison and stopped in front of Qianlong, just waiting for the tiger to approach and take it down with one hand. And the prince said in his heart, but this thing is not easy to do. Although the five guards are highly skilled, they will eventually leave two or three on duty to protect the emperor, and the remaining two guards, how can they take down the big worm?
Gege is a big man, and it is the first time he has seen a tiger, and he is still in the capital city. Even so, she is a royal character after all, and she is born with an arrogant and steady temperament. At first sight of the tiger, she was not timid, she only stood behind Qianlong, and did not retreat half a step. But she also thought that when others saw the tiger, most of them had to hide. The emperor wants to meet the tiger and the tiger skin. It's hard to kill the tiger for the sake of these guards. They all came out with muskets, bows and arrows, and it was their skill to do these things, and it was not a problem to pull the bow and pull the trigger against the tiger, and a few big insects. But the emperor ordered that the whole tiger skin should be made, if the arrow is shot and the arrow is pierced with holes, the tiger skin will naturally not be completed, so it is difficult to only capture it alive or beat it to death with fists and feet. Fighting tigers is such a difficult job, Gege has only learned about it from books, and only Wu Song fights tigers with deep memories, and she has never seen other heroes.
The two guards stepped forward and pounced on the tiger. The tiger was so arrogant that he yelled at them. At present, the guard was eager to compete for merit, and ran at the front, and when it shouted at him, his legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground. The tiger launched a tiger might, opened its mouth wide, its eyes were wide open, and it showed Bai Sensen's teeth, and the tiger rushed towards it vigorously. The guard was so stunned that he fell to the ground. The guard in the back was quite calm, and it was important to save people at this time, so he hurriedly ran over, picked up the guard in front of him, turned around and ran back.
Seeing this, Qianlong said angrily: "I let you move forward, and you dare to retreat!" Pull out the feathers and go back and clean you up! The guards who saved people were full of grievances, but they didn't dare to argue, so they put the stunned guards on the ground, and hurriedly came over to protect the emperor.
At this time, Qianlong only had four guards around him to protect him, let alone take down the tiger, and the names of several of them were in danger. The tiger was enraged by the actions of the two guards, and actually pounced on Qianlong through gritted teeth!
The four guards were busy blocking in front of Qianlong, even if they died, they could be regarded as a meritorious escort, and finally did not bury the identity of the imperial guards. When it was too late, he heard a muffled roar behind him, and a man rushed out of the stab and punched the tiger in the ribs, and at the same time, he was also pushed to the ground by the tiger's majestic body.
Gege saw that this person was none other than Jinxiulan's drunken spring. Drunken Chun secretly slipped out of Jinxiulan without concealing the dark fragrance, ran to the wine shop and drank three jars of old wine, rode a horse, and came to the West Mountain Pass in a daze. He opened his eyes and looked at Yuan Archway, and couldn't help laughing: "You brute, what are you bringing me here?" Do you also want to worship Inspector Yuan? ”
At this time, there was a sudden faint sound of tiger roaring nearby. He followed the sound to the garden, and saw Gege surrounded by a fierce tiger. He drank to strengthen the hero's courage, relied on the strength of the wine, stabbed obliquely, and punched the tiger in the ribs. The tiger was enraged by him, turned around, and pounced on Zuichun again. Seeing the tiger attacking with its bloody mouth open, Zuichun was also taken aback. said that it was too late, it was fast, Zuichun hurriedly pulled out the Ruyi jade gourd from behind him, and hit the tiger head with a fatal blow. The tiger tilted its head, shook a few steps, and fell to the ground.
Although Qianlong is the Son of Heaven, he still feels dizzy and dizzy when facing this qiē. It was only then that he saw a man more than seven feet tall with big sword eyebrows and big eyes lying on the ground, snorting and panting.
Qianlong liked him for his bravery, and hurriedly asked, "What's your name?" Can I serve in the government? The implication of his words was that if he served in the government, he would be promoted to an official position.
Zuichun didn't know Qianlong, and he didn't answer, got up, saluted Gege and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Gege?" ”
Gege hurriedly said to Zuichun: "This is the emperor today, you salute quickly!" ”
Drunken Spring is busy and kowtows again. Qianlong didn't care about his rudeness and arrogance, and said: "Look at it this way, are you Ruoqing's person?" You're good, you're going to be better than all my royal guards. "Anyway, I don't look at the two guards just now. When the two guards heard the emperor say this, they were so ashamed that they knelt down and cried: "The slave is derelict in his duties, ask the emperor to punish him!" ”
Qianlong said coldly: "What are you derelict in your duties? It's too much of a gut to want to be a royal guard! Pull out the flower feather from the hat and relegate it to the dog to supervise the dog! ”
The two guards didn't dare to argue, but just kowtowed and begged for mercy. After reprimanding them, Qianlong said to Zuichun again: "Do you have the heart to be on duty in the palace?" I have the heart to promote you, how about being a third-class guard in the palace? ”
Zuichun said frankly: "The emperor favors Zuichun, how dare Zuichun?" It's just that he went down the mountain in the drunken spring that day, and took care of Gege on the orders of the master. At this time, abandoning Gege is only for the sake of fame, Zuichun can't do such a thing, and ask the emperor to take back his fate, and still let Zuichun follow Gege! ”
Qianlong was stunned at first, and then smiled at Gege: "Ruoqing, Ruoqing, you are a good person!" He is so loyal, how can I be strong? ”
Gege is drunk and busy thanking. At this time, the guards stepped forward three times and peeled the tiger skin twice and presented it to the emperor. Qianlong was about to give the order to bring it back to the palace, when he saw a group of people rushing out from a distance, and shouted: "Who is so bold that he dares to commit murder here, dare to die?"
