The palace martial arts training ground.

Zhao Junsheng rode a horse and galloped.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh······" The surrounding guards, eunuchs and palace maids only saw his hand constantly drawing the bow, the sound of arrows breaking through the air kept coming, a distance of a hundred paces, just a few breaths, a pot of thirty arrows all shot out.

Zhao Junsheng stopped and waited for a report on the number of hits from the target.

"Thirty arrows, all ten rings!" The shouts of the Praetorian guards counting at the range were heard.

"Good, good!" The surrounding guards, palace maids, and eunuchs applauded loudly, and applauded one after another: "Papapa······"

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand: "Change the moving target!" ”

A row of horses was driven out by the Janissaries and lined them up, some of the Praetorian strapping targets on horseback.

When everything was ready, a flag bearer next to this row of war horses raised a small flag, signaling that Zhao Junsheng could start to prepare.

Zhao Junsheng took a pot of arrows and put them behind his back to reveal the arrow feathers, and rode his horse to the starting position, which was still about seventy or eighty steps away from the group of war horses carrying targets.

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand to indicate that he was ready, and the guards standing behind the war horses raised their whips and whipped the horses hard, and the horses neighed in pain and galloped forward, and the target undulated on the horseback.

When the last horse also galloped away, the flag bearer next to him waved the flag vigorously.

"Drive-" Zhao Junsheng shouted, shook the reins with his left hand, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and the war horse rushed out like an arrow from the string.

He put the reins on the saddle with his left hand, quickly took out the riding bow from the bow bag, took out an arrow from his back with his right hand around his shoulder, and pulled it away from the bowstring, and shot it directly without aiming, and then took the arrow and pulled the bow and released the arrow, and so on.

After only running more than 100 steps, Zhao Junsheng stopped his horse, and the arrows in the quiver had been shot out.

After a while, the guards who counted the results shouted: "Thirty arrows, all hit ten rings!" ”

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

"Papapa······" The guards, palace maids, and eunuchs thundered with joy, and the applause was gone.

All the people in the world want the king to be strong and energetic, and only then can the king be capable

Daqian inherited the tradition of the Northern Wei Dynasty to dominate the world with cavalry, and even surpassed it, more than seventy percent of the country's soldiers and horses were cavalry, which benefited from the long-term implementation of the horse administration, and continued to cultivate good horses, in order to create an unprecedentedly powerful military force today.

In Daqian, every household has at least one horse, and the Daqian horse administration stipulates that a family can raise a horse if they have 10 acres of land, and the minimum cultivated area of a family is 20 acres.

Therefore, after more than 10 years of continuous improvement, the big dry horse policy has been very perfect, even a few years old children, as long as they just learn to walk have the experience of riding a horse, to the age of six or seven, the vast majority of children have been able to ride a horse free gallop.

This has created the combat effectiveness of Daqian's cavalry in riding and archery far beyond any previous era, and many riding archers with super standards have emerged, and there are not a few people who have the same riding and archery skills as Zhao Junsheng.

For this reason, the official organization also holds a national cavalry archery competition every year to encourage them, and the top few people with the highest riding and archery skills will also be specially recruited into the army, and the treatment is very generous; as long as there is a rank, even if they cannot be specially recruited into the army, everyone can also get rich rewards.

Zhao Junsheng got off the horse, took off the wrench on his thumb and put it in the tray held by the eunuch next to him, put down the horsewhip, picked up a towel and wiped his hands and face.

"This riding archery still has to be practiced often, maintain the state and feeling, if you don't practice often, your hands will be rusty after a long time, and your feeling will also degenerate!"

Zhao Ping, the third prince and the king of Shu next to him, said: "My father is right, my sons practice for an hour every afternoon!" ”

Zhao Junsheng's face was strange: "Today is not a day of rest, why don't you go to the Imperial City Division to sit in town, what are you doing here?" ”

Zhao Ping arched his hand and said: "Father, the sons feel that the case of Ah Luogan and Tan Wuye belongs to the case of fine espionage and should be investigated by the Imperial City Division, so please ask the Father Emperor to order the Criminal Department to transfer the case to the Imperial City Division!" ”

Zhao Junsheng glanced up at his son, "You also want to ask me about this kind of thing?" You yourself won't go to the Criminal Department for consultation? ”

"Father, the sons and daughters have gone, but they have moved out of your will, saying that this case was investigated by the Serious Crimes Department of the Criminal Department by you!"

Zhao Junsheng motioned to the eunuch next to him and asked them to remove his armor, and said: "This case was originally filed as an assassination case, but the difference is that the deceased was an envoy of the vassal state, so far the Criminal Department has found out this case, and now it is arresting A Luo Gan and Tan Wuye, what are you Imperial City Division doing at this time to run out to make a fuss?" ”

"Father, these two people have been running for several days, and they haven't been caught yet, and the manhunt has ended, so you can't keep closing the city gate and not letting the people out of the city, right? The Imperial City Division does not want to rob the Criminal Department of the Serious Crime Department, but just wants to close the case earlier, and besides, it is the responsibility of the Imperial City Department to investigate such a case, there is no such thing as grabbing credit, as long as the Imperial City Division investigates the case, the credit goes to the Criminal Department, this is always okay, right? ”

Zhao Junsheng thought about it for a while, "In this way, let the Serious Crime Department of the Criminal Department and the Imperial City Division jointly investigate this case!" It is true that the city gate cannot be closed all the time, and the people still need to make a living, and if the city gate is closed for a long time, the livelihood of many people will be cut off! I will give an order to the guards of the left prison that today is the last day, and tomorrow the city gate will be opened as usual! ”

"Thank you, father, son, I'm going to the Serious Crime Bureau of the Criminal Department to negotiate a joint case!"

Zhao Junsheng looked at the back of Lao Sanxing rushing away, and couldn't help shaking his head, this son is still very energetic in doing things, but he just doesn't know how to grasp the proportions, this case has been investigated by the Criminal Department, and he almost caught the person, even if the Imperial City Division has more legitimate reasons, at this time, mixing a kick in the past will undoubtedly cause dissatisfaction from the Criminal Department, saying that the Imperial City Division does not take credit, and the people in the Criminal Department will believe it, even if they don't take credit, as long as they catch people, they will also have the benefit of brushing their reputation, and the people in the Criminal Department are not stupid. Half of the fat in my mouth was divided, and my heart must have been very happy.

Behind him, the voices of the eunuchs and palace maids came: "Meet the queen mother and Suiyang Jun!" ”

"Flat!"

Hua Mulan and Wan Yutong came forward to make a blessing ceremony: "The concubine has seen Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Junsheng turned around and saw that Mulan was still followed by Wan Yutong, and said angrily: "What are you doing?" ”

Hua Mulan got up and waved her hand, and the eunuchs and palace maids stepped back one after another.

Mulan smiled: "What's the matter, are you still angry?" You are not small, a big man, or the king of a country, why do you have to be angry with my daughter for so long? ”

Zhao Junsheng retorted: "What's wrong with the big man, what's wrong with the king of a country?" I'm not human? The mud bodhisattva still has three points of fire! On weekdays, you just open your mouth to discipline me like your son, thinking that it is your wife after all, let a little, spoil, and get used to it, and it's okay for you to be wronged, but you also have to divide the occasion! It's not that I said that you are becoming more and more disagreeable, you go and ask your aunt, did she say that I am too used to you, you go and ask! ”

Hua Mulan was very aggrieved, Zhao Junsheng had never said her in such a heavy tone, and tears flowed down like no money for a while.

Wan Yutong hurriedly played a round: "Zhao Junsheng, don't say that about Mulan, she didn't mean it that day, she was worried about my safety, I still have to stand on her side in this matter, although she shouldn't have said you in front of so many courtiers, but it's been a few days since this incident, what's the anger that can't be eliminated?" ”

Zhao Junsheng sat down on the stone bench next to him, "Say, what's the matter with the two of you coming together today?" If it was just because I was angry with Mulan, the two of you wouldn't come together! There are not many big countries that can invite you Miss Wan, and Mulan will definitely not let you come forward because of my affair with her! ”

Wan Yutong looked at Mulan, who had already wiped her tears and nodded slightly.

Wan Yutong said: "You have imprisoned Gao Xiu's daughter Gao Jinzhi in the prison for several days, and a girl from the family has not made any big mistakes, she must have suffered a lot when she was locked up in the prison, do you know how wronged you are?" ”

Zhao Junsheng picked up the teacup and took a sip, "How much suffering have you suffered, how wronged are you?" ”

Mulan and Wan Yutong were speechless.

Zhao Junsheng said: "It was Gao Xiu who begged you to intercede, right?" Why didn't he come by himself? ”

Hua Mulan said to Wan Yutong: "Yutong, you can also sit down, sit down and say!" ”

Wan Yutong had no choice but to sit opposite Zhao Junsheng with Mulan.

Hua Mulan said: "The person involved in this matter is his daughter, how can he come to intercede with you in person?" ”

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while, and instructed the eunuch next to him: "Pass on my message, let Gao Xiu come to see me!" ”

"No!"

Soon, Gao Xiu, who was apprehensive in his heart, came.

"Chen Gaoxiu see Your Majesty, Niangniang, Suiyangjun!"

Wan Yutong got up and made a blessing, "I've seen General Gao!" ”

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand: "Flatten!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng asked, "Gao Xiu, how many children do you have?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, a son and a daughter!"

"Son serving on the frontier?"

"Yes!"

Zhao Junsheng pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you know why I put your daughter Gao Jinzhi in the prison?" ”

"The minister heard that the little girl was stubborn, not only mixed into the army, but also did not listen to orders, and almost put Suiyangjun in danger, all of which were caused by the minister's lax discipline!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "You are leading the soldiers, if she is not your daughter, just the daughter of an ordinary family, what should you do with what she does?" ”

Fine sweat broke out on Gao Xiu's forehead, and he clutched his fists and said a word with difficulty: "Chop!" ”

Hua Mulan next to her said at this time: "If it is just the daughter of an ordinary family, it is impossible for her to have the courage to blend into the Shenwu Army!" ”

Zhao Junsheng's voice raised: "So why does she have so much courage?" ”

Hua Mulan, Wan Yutong and Gao Xiu were silent, they all knew that it was precisely because her father was Gao Xiu, and Gao Xiu was the general of the Shenwu Army and the right servant of Shangshutai, and his status in the army was no longer comparable to him except for Gao Xu, Cao Jiao, Xue Andu and others.

Zhao Junsheng said: "If you make a mistake, you must accept punishment, and you should be beheaded according to the law. Remembering your merits over the years, I can issue an amnesty decree to open the net, but not without a price! I give you two choices: first, do according to the law; Second, I issued a special amnesty decree to exempt Gao Jinzhi from the death penalty and let the prison continue to detain Gao Jinzhi for three months, and you, as his biological father, have been ineffective and lax in discipline of Wang Jinzhi, suspended for half a year for introspection, and taught well at home! ”

Gao Xiu bowed: "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, the minister chooses the second!" ”
