The emperor was a little annoyed in his heart: "I want to issue an edict again, but now it has been verified that it is man-made, what does it have to do with me?" Wenchang said: "Your Majesty, as a monarch, you must be able to endure what ordinary people can't bear, now everyone in the palace knows, and the people don't know, if Your Majesty makes this edict, and then let the news spread, the people will only know that you are benevolent." The emperor waved his hand: "That's it, you go to the Hanlin Academy to find someone to write, and when you're done, take it to me to see, that's it, I still have something to do, you can retreat first." Wenchang retreated, the emperor stood up and walked out, the inner servant was about to follow, he turned back sharply, "What are you doing with me, go back!" I don't need to! ”

It was the end of autumn, the leaves on the long street, the palace people were cleaning back and forth, the emperor sighed, walked to the imperial garden, the autumn scenery was picturesque, but he couldn't lift the spirit to appreciate. A figure as red as a maple leaf broke into his eyes. It was the queen, she was sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the lake in the distance, her back was so slender and dignified, he looked at it, and the troubles in his heart were also reduced a lot, as if she was blown away by the autumn wind. He walked up behind her and motioned for his subordinates not to alarm her, she was looking at the lake and he hugged her. The queen hurriedly turned around and saw the emperor's smiling eyebrows. She said coquettishly: "The emperor actually appeared from behind the concubine, and he actually wanted to scare the concubine." ”

The emperor looked at the subordinates around him, motioned them to go down, he found a stool to sit down, and threw his head into the queen's arms: "Do you know, I have already issued three edicts this year, you said that I have been on the throne for so many years, and there have been continuous disasters, and the heavens are angry and angry, and you say that I am not suitable to be the emperor to cause the punishment of heaven, and the people suffer." The queen hugged his head: "Your Majesty has been sleeping at night in the past few years since he ascended the throne, and he often eats and sleeps well when he is often delayed by political affairs, and he is also reproached by ministers and officials. ”

"Look at me, if I have gray hair." He said, her hand gently searching between his temples, "Your Majesty, you are in the prime of spring and autumn, how can you have gray hair?" The Emperor took her hand. You always coax me, I'm going to become an old man, you see you're still young. "You always say concubine, who doesn't look for herself in this woman? The concubine knows that the color is declining and she loves it. She poked him lightly in the face, "The concubine's sons have all started to study, and in a blink of an eye he will grow up, and then the concubine will become an old woman." The emperor nodded: "Speaking of this, I remembered that there are always people who teach my son what loyal ministers and traitors, this kind of thing, I will never allow it, I will go to check his homework, the new master Fan Bao seems to be a knowledgeable person, but it is too rigid, it is better to go and see." ”

In the village, in the house, the thin young man turned his back to Xu Yuan: "Is it time?" Xu Yuan asked: "Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed." The young man turned his head, his eyes like a sharp sword. Where is the east wind? Xu Yuan said: "Your Highness knows about winter hunting?" In winter, rabbits and bears and other animals are luxuriant, when there will be hunters going up the mountain to hunt in winter, when the winter hunt is completed, there will be officers and soldiers waiting at the bottom of the mountain to forcibly collect their good furs at a low price, and then sell them at a high price. Zhao Qian was a little puzzled and asked: "I heard that Xindu Yaoshan County Ling Yiqiu has an old relationship with Xu Qing's father, why don't we go to him?" ”

"Although Ren Qiu has always been good friends with my father, but he is timid and afraid, and has no heroic spirit, if he wants to be used by us, then we must use reason to persuade him, use righteousness to influence him, and use his family to persecute him, we must have hole cards in our hands, and now you and me, he may not be willing to help us, so this group of hunters, is our spring breeze, these people are also forced by the government to exchange their lives for those furs to feed the family's livelihood without being bullied, they have weapons in their hands, and it is more convenient to act." Xu Yuandao.

"And how long do we have to wait?" Zhao Qian had a headache. "January." "So what do we do now?" "Does the little lord have a weapon to take advantage of? I see that the little lord is thin and suitable for a crossbow, so I will find a crossbow for you, and make a few arrows, since we are going to be hunters, let's do it like a little. Zhaoqian nodded, stood up, paced a few steps around the room, and looked down at his hands again. If I can go into battle to kill the enemy, I also want to drink blood on the battlefield. Xu Yuan shook his head: "Your Highness's daughter, what you have to do is to stabilize the hearts of the army, love the soldiers like sons, care for the people, and strive for a good reputation, so as to calm the hearts of the people in the world, if you don't dislike it, Xu Yuanyuan will level the world for you!" ”

"Junrui, I have you, it's like a fish getting water!" Xu Yuan went up the mountain, but saw that there was no one in the Daoist house, Xu Yuan felt strange in his heart, but he thought that Shanyuan was haunted on weekdays, so he didn't care anymore, and when he took something and was about to go out, Meng Jia didn't know where to run out of nowhere, and threw the dark red spear to Xu Yuan: "Senior brother!" Then. Xu Yuan took the spear, "Why don't you see Master today, where did his old man go?" Meng Jia smiled, a little reluctantly: "Master, he went on a long journey, and when he left, he told me, if you come back, you must let you bring this with you, you can't go out without a weapon to take advantage of." ”

The spear waved, and the sound of breaking the air came out, Xu Yuan nodded: "Don't worry, I remember Master's words." "After going down the mountain, it is to take Zhaoqian up the mountain every morning to find suitable trees to cut home to make arrows, in the afternoon is to practice archery, and finally when it is time for winter hunting, they set foot on the road to the mountain, each of them brought five days of dry food, Sister Ting also secretly stuffed Zhaoqian with more dry food for a day: "The lord is the time to grow his body, but you can't treat yourself badly in terms of eating, there is a little salt here, you take it, if there is no taste in the mouth, you can eat, take care of your body..." , Salt is not cheap at all these days, and these things that Sister Ting gave herself are afraid that there is only one thing left in this burrow.

The two went up the mountain to hunt, Xu Yuan picked a small size to fight, only to see his spear on his back, on the bow on the string, 'boom', the rabbit nailed to a stone, Xu Yuan was about to go over to improve the food, but saw a pair of yellow eyes the size of a copper coin, only two feet away from him, Xu Yuan gently stepped back, he didn't want to rush to fight with the leopard. At this time, he turned and was about to run, when a cold arrow came straight towards the door in front of him.
