The day before the Shangyuan Festival, Xu Huizu and Zhu Di took the lead in holding another Zongxun martial arts competition in Nanjing.

The last time it was held, it was still in the filial piety period of Taizu Long Yubintian, and later, it was planned to be held once a year, but because Xu Huizu was in command of the southwest, and there were few vassal kings in Beijing, he gave up.

This time, it is rare for Zongxun to gather in Nanjing City, Zhu Di and Xu Huizu are combined, and they are idle and idle, and they will be all over again.

For this reason, Zhu Di and Xu Huizu also deliberately entered the palace and found Zhu Yunwen to talk about it, and the latter waved his hand directly:

"Yes! If you want to do it big, I should go in person. ”

Zhu Yunwen is also really stuffy, it is rare to have such a good opportunity to go out and breathe, where is he still willing to stay in the palace.

"In addition to our own people, Beijing officials and ministers who are willing to watch the ceremony can go to watch."

A martial arts competition was going to be held in the martial arts arena on the outskirts of Beijing, and as soon as the news of the emperor's presence was revealed, the atmosphere inside and outside the entire Nanjing city reached its peak in an instant.

The Beijing officials were also very happy, because they could find another opportunity to give themselves a day off.

As for why the emperor asked the big guy to come to this ceremony, these civil officials had a very unanimous opinion in private.

"I guess it's the same as last year's military parade, and the emperor is looking for us to show off his muscles,"

A martial emperor is really not a good emperor for them.

The emperors of all dynasties and dynasties, who were keen on military affairs, were nothing more than to increase their supreme prestige by consuming national strength, and the benefits to the country were almost minimal, and often a big defeat could bury a country's decades of struggle and exhaust the blood and vitality of the people in the world, so there is such a saying, belligerence will die!

It can only be said that in the three years since Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, his methods in dealing with war are much more clever than those previous kings who rushed to destroy the country at every turn.

In the Korean War, the Ming Dynasty plundered and obtained nearly 10 million taels of silver and materials, which allowed the cabinet court to taste the sweetness of the war.

But the big guy is still very worried, Da Ming, can he keep winning like this?

The southwest is over, and the Liaodong is also over. What's next?

The big guys don't even have to guess to know that there is nowhere to fight except for the Northern Expedition. As for the upcoming naval battle in the southeast, no one in the court has ever cared, they are all some projectile desert islands, why not, and what?

The emperors of the Central Plains, all those who were high-spirited, liked the Northern Expedition to the grassland, and the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty swallowed up the Xiongnu at the cost of losing both, but after all, he still hurt himself.

Emperor Taizu Gao's northern expedition to the desert, all the way to Lake Baikal to destroy the Northern Yuan court, the final result is only in exchange for the current dynasty Warat, Tatar side by side, the grassland is still the territory of nomadic barbarians, and looking at the posture of Emperor Jianwen, he probably wants to fight.

Jianwen? This era name is really self-deceptive.

The disturbances of the outside world did not play a role, and the time still came to the fourteenth day of the first month, and the second Zongxun martial arts competition of the Ming Dynasty was successfully held.

Early in the morning, tens of thousands of soldiers from the Beijing battalion surrounded the martial arts field on the outskirts of Beijing, and thousands of Jinyi guards patrolled around, as if they were facing a great enemy.

"Quack, click."

The sound of horses' hooves, a team of hundreds of people came with horses, divided into two columns, one wearing a flying fish python suit, the other wearing embroidered dragon patterns, all of them are energetic and radiant, and they are the two protagonists of this competition: Wu Xun and Zongqin.

Zhu Di rode a high-headed horse at the front of the clan line, and Xu Huizu not far away, the two of them turned over and dismounted in front of the camp gate of the martial arts arena, and several brocade guards stepped forward to bow down and confess.

"Don't blame the prince and the prince."

As he spoke, several brocade guards stepped forward to face the two of them, and after a careful inspection, they confessed and retreated, and Zhu Di and Xu Huizu tidied up their appearances and walked into the martial arts arena.

Because Zhu Yunwen wanted to participate, all the weapons and arrows in the martial arts arena were replaced, and Zongxun, who participated in the competition, also had to be searched to ensure that there were no entrained bladed weapons.

Of course, it is impossible for someone to have a brain twitch and dare to sneak a sharp blade to compete at this time, otherwise, what do you want to do?

Assassin Kill? That's going to be a lot of punishment.

"It's a good day."

Zhu Di looked up and smiled: "Heaven is beautiful." ”

Behind Zhu Di is Zhu Gaoxu, this kid is the last Yuankui, and today he is here to give his father a long face, and when he heard Zhu Di's words, he said arrogantly: "Today, my Ming Zongxun is here, and I am full of spirit, even if there are dark clouds covering it, it will be washed away." ”

"My nephew is not right."

Xu Huizu turned his head and glanced at Zhu Gaoxu: "Obviously, His Majesty is here, and the dragon is mighty, so God has to give His Majesty this face." ”

There is an emperor among the people watching the ceremony, and the emperor doesn't understand the biggest truth?

Bah! Sycophants!

Zhu Gaoxu thought in his heart, it is best to have a rainstorm at this time, see where your old face goes!

Waiting for the Zong Xun and Jing officials who participated in the competition and watched the ceremony all entered the martial arts arena, and in the distance, a luxurious imperial chariot slowly came under the arch guard of thousands of brocade guards.

The Imperial Rim drove all the way into the arena and stopped at the viewing platform.

Shuangxi jumped down from the imperial chariot and looked around for a while before moving a soft stool and placing it next to the imperial chariot: "Your Majesty, it's here." ”

Standing on the chariot, two new army guards lifted the curtain left and right, but it was a white-haired old man who walked out first, and he was able to share the honor of being with the Son of Heaven, but with Daming, now there is only one Geng Bingwen left.

Geng Bingwen was guarding outside the car, covering the lintel with his hand, only to see Zhu Yunwen bow his head and come out.

"See my emperor, Holy Bow Jin'an."

Under the viewing platform, the hundreds of officials of Zongxun knelt on the ground and buried their heads in the dust.

"Get up, I will put down a word of advice first, and I will not kneel today!"

Zhu Yunwen shouted to the ministers: "All the ministers follow me and take the stage." Then he took Geng Bingwen's arm and stepped on the soft stool to get off the royal chariot, at this time Geng Bingwen said that he didn't dare to go up side by side with Zhu Yunwen, took two steps slowly, and followed Zhu Yunwen to the viewing platform.

The viewing platform was built overnight by the Imperial Front Division and the Beijing Camp, and it took three days and two nights of hard work to expand on the basis of the original Jiangtai, which can fully accommodate two or three hundred people without crowding.

In the middle of the viewing platform is a two-zhang wide imperial case, with a dragon chair in the back, which will show the martial arts arena at a glance, which is naturally prepared for Zhu Yunwen.

On the left hand is the three rows of seats of Jingguan, and on the right hand is the three rows of seats of Zongxun, all of which have been arranged with wine, melons, fruits and cakes.

"Today's competition, how is the charter of Qing and the others decided?"

After sitting down, Zhu Yunwen looked at Xu Huizu and asked.

Xu Huizu stood up and bowed: "Back to Your Majesty, according to Your Majesty's holy decree, there are a total of 50 contestants this time, 8 clan relatives, 22 ministers and other martial artists, and 20 good players from the army, a total of six competitions."

Ten arrows on target, the one with the highest number of rings will add three points, the second two points, the third place will be worth one point, and the one with the number of rings will be tied for the same point.

Ten arrows are shot on horseback, the same as shooting at a target.

Weightlifting, in terms of weight, the highest is three points, the second is two points, the third place is one point, and the same weight is tied for the same points.

Foot battles, two by two, the winner is worth three points, and the loser has no points.

Picking the tassels, Your Majesty can see that high platform, built-in tasseled helmets, the first to pick the tassels and strike the gong, count three points.

Offering treasures, there are pockets on the left and right, there are dozens of migratory birds caught in them, only one of them is dyed with gold feathers, and the person who shoots the bird takes the stage to dedicate it to His Majesty, and counts five points.

The one with the most total points is the leader of this competition. ”

Zhu Yun shook his head: "Qing has a heart, what is the color of this competition?" ”

"It's a gold belt."

Zhu Yunwen took off a piece of his dragon-patterned jade pendant from his waist and put it on the imperial case.

"This is the first time I've watched this competition, so let's add some color to the event."

Everyone stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Looking up at the sky, the winter was slightly drunk, and the sun was just right, so Zhu Yunwen coughed lightly.

"Alright, now that the charter has been set, let's get started."

As soon as the emperor ordered, the second Daming Sect Xun martial arts competition officially kicked off.

After looking at each other, the fifty Ming athletes in the martial arts arena walked to their positions and began the first competition of this competition: target shooting!

"The last Yuan Kui, I remember, is Gao Xu."

Hearing Zhu Yunwen's words, Zhu Di was busy getting up, and saw Zhu Yunwen stretching out his hand: "Don't be so restrained today, this is not a court, just sit and say." ”

"Your Majesty Lao is concerned, it is indeed a dog."

Zhu Yunwen smiled at Zhu Zhen, the king of Chu beside Zhu Di: "Meng Jiong also participated in the competition today, is the sixth uncle sure in his heart?" ”

The latter shook his head slightly, and smiled bitterly: "The minister is not as good as the fourth brother in everything, and he is far behind in teaching children. ”

"The fourth uncle's family is Gao Xu and Gao Sui; The fifth uncle's house is stewed and burned; Meng Jiong of the sixth uncle's family; My younger brother Yun Xi and Yun Xi plus Uncle Liao Wang, who personally went into battle with the big bully, our clan relatives, we have to fight for anything this time. ”

In the end, Zhu Yunwen was happy: "If it is feasible, I want to try it with itchy hands." ”

Of course, this is also a joke, Zhu Yunwen also knows that if he really ends up in person, it will be a joke, who dares to win him, if he drags the target when shooting, who will dare to hit the target?

What Zhu Yunwen hates the most is watching the leaders in the unit play table tennis!

The viewing level is disgusting.

The atmosphere on the viewing platform was harmonious, but the smell of gunpowder on the competition field was strong.

The first four items are all based on their own ability, Zhu Gaoxu took the lead, cut four firsts in a row, and scored 12 points, followed by Geng Xuan, the son of Geng Bingwen, Marquis of Changxing, with 11 points.

And when it came to the fifth picking, Wuxun was completely united, relying on the superiority in numbers to surround Zhu Gaoxu, and let Geng Xuan defeat a group of good players in the army, and first ascended to the high platform, picking the tassels and striking the gong.

"Isn't that a joke?"

On the viewing platform, Zhu Yu shouted babblingly, and then saw Zhu Yunwen's gaze sweeping.

Zhu Yu and Zhu Xianyi behind him were both frightened.

"Rebel!"

Changxing Hou Geng Bing's beard was all open, and he stood up and bowed to Zhu Di: "The old man has no way to teach his son, and he has used such a method, and he will break his leg when he turns back." ”

Zhu Di hurriedly stood up and returned the salute, no, no, no.

Geng Bingwen has a dazzling gold medal hanging on his chest, the emperor is not courteous to him, where does he dare to accept it: "The old general is tormented, the dog is Gao Xu but a reckless man, and he has no ability to win the tassel, what does this have to do with Ling Gongzi." ”

"Don't be ashamed of General Geng."

Zhu Yunwen also accosted at this time.

"Gao Xu doesn't know how to hide clumsy, his edge is too exposed, and he doesn't know how to unite and help, it's a good thing to suffer this loss."

The emperor opened his mouth to set the tone, and the two were no longer polite, Zhu Di waited for Geng Bingwen to sit down before sitting down, and then glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, who was jumping in place in the martial arts arena and scolding.

Why did Lao Tzu give birth to such a brainless thing as you!

Zhu Gaoxu was obviously affected by the loss of the tasseled helmet by Fang Cai, and failed to shoot the bow twice, but it was Geng Xuan, who was not in a hurry or slow, held his breath and calmed down, and hit the shot, hurriedly stepped forward to pull out the arrow, and ran up to the high platform with the prey in both hands.

"The last general, Geng Xuan, offer treasures and royal fronts!"

Geng Xuan lowered his head and lifted the migratory bird above the top with both hands, trembling with excitement.

Yuan Kui!

Yu Guang inadvertently caught a glimpse of his father not far away, and his heart was suddenly startled.

The old man looks, seems to be very angry?

It's over, look at this posture, I'm going to be beaten when I go home.

Most of the joy in my heart suddenly disappeared.

When he was mixed with joy and sorrow, he felt that the sun above his head was dark, and he raised his head slightly and lowered his head in fright, and bowed three points deeper.

It turned out that I didn't know when, Zhu Yunwen walked closer.

"You're nice, level-headed and thoughtful."

With a light hand, Geng Xuan heard Zhu Yunwen's voice, and his heart was already blank, and he ran away with joy and sorrow, leaving only excitement.

"It is the honor of the last general to offer a treasure in front of the emperor."

Zhu Yunwen looked at the migratory bird that was shot, the latter was already dead, and the blood stained his hand.

Shuangxi walked over with a tray, Zhu Yunwen put the migratory bird on it, but did not wash his hands in the golden basin, so he picked up the gold belt with his blood-covered hand, personally coiled Geng Xuan on his waist, and hung the blood-stained jade pendant on the belt.

"You have to remember that only blood can embellish the glory of my Ming Jian'er!"

Geng Xuan was so excited that he couldn't hold himself anymore, and he plopped on the ground: "Your Majesty's teachings, the last general will not dare to forget it for the rest of his life, and he will fight on the battlefield for my Ming Dynasty on the holidays, and he will die without grace." ”

"Go, go down and receive your cheers."

As soon as Zhu Yunwen's voice fell, Shuangxi behind him screamed and called his name.

"The Yuan Kui of this Zongxun competition, Geng Xuan, the governor of the Chinese army!"

Inside and outside the martial arts arena, tens of thousands of Beijing battalion soldiers suddenly shouted in unison: "Geng Xuan, mighty!" ”

After Geng Xuan stepped back from the high platform, Zhu Yunwen listened to the bursts of cheers in his ears, and his heart inevitably surged, and he stretched out his hands to press down, and suddenly the world was silent.

Lifting a breath, Zhu Yunwen sang loudly.

"Look, covered in silver, the forest is dyed;

Look, Da Ming Erlang, the leader of the competition!

Praise, youthful elegance, covering rivers and mountains;

Praise, holding Wu Hook, can fight the Marquis!

I am a young man of the Ming Dynasty, heroic and heroic;

Strong, my young Daming, immortal with the sky!

Today's martial arts competition, I am very happy to see that my Ming athletes are not embellished with martial arts, and they are fine in riding and archery.

I hope that my sons and daughters of the Ming Dynasty can always have a competitive heart, learn more about literature and martial arts, protect the territory and the people, and open up the territory.

Do not fall into the prestige of your ancestors, and do not disgrace your descendants.

I am here today to watch you and others compete, and in the future, you will wait on the battlefield, I will also watch you kill the enemy, I will always be with you, defend the territory and open up the territory, and fight side by side!

As long as the sun, moon, mountains and rivers are still there, then I will always be there! ”

Everyone raised their heads and looked at Zhu Yunwen, roaring in unison, and thunder exploded.

"The sun, the moon, the mountains and rivers will always be there, and the Ming rivers and mountains will always be there!

Long live our emperor! Banzai!! Hooray!! ”

The scorching Ming Dynasty will never fall into the Han and Tang Dynasties!

Towering China, never forget the ancestors of Yu Lie!
