Chapter 789: Martial Arts
The plan of the day lies in the morning, and the plan of the year lies in the spring, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty got up early to go to court, and since the end of last year, the Han Cheng case broke out. m.
His Majesty the Emperor has become diligent again, and his personality has returned to the same as before, and he has divided the Jinyi Guard into two Yamen North and South Towns.
Those who are confused in their hearts think that a set of brocade guards is enough to make people tremble, and where can they stand it again; Smart people can see that the emperor is dispersing power, lest there be another Han Cheng.
No matter what the emperor's purpose is, in short, the scale of Jinyiwei is even bigger than before, and no matter how much the courtiers and palace people act, they are trembling and trembling like walking on thin ice.
When the sky was dark and the whip resounded through the Fengtian Temple, there were already two small figures dancing in the garden of the East Palace.
A reddish face with fine sweat on his forehead, although he is young, but his fists and feet are faintly windy, he will roar every time he hits, his voice is loud and powerful, like a wild little beast.
The other boy looked worried, as if he hadn't woken up, his punches and kicks were weak, and the roar in his mouth was like a whisper.
The middle-aged man who was guiding on the side patted him on the back and said, "Chang Gongzi, you can't do this, if you don't cheer up, the rattan in my hand won't be forgiving." ”
"Got it, Master Deng." Chang Tong responded, and the roar was really louder, but the fists and feet were still not powerful.
The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked to Chang Shi not far away, and said helplessly: "The crown princess has also seen it, they are all micro-ministers with golden branches and jade leaves, and they really can't do it, so I want you to supervise and control it more." ”
"If you can't do it, this nephew of this palace has been spoiled by his mother since he was a child. If you really beat him, you can't go back and sue him, and the palace will be punished. After teaching archery, you can go back to the emperor on an errand. ”
"Yes!" The man answered, and then went back to instruct the two of them.
The palace maid beside Chang's side asked in a puzzled whisper: "A few days ago, the old lady came to the palace and asked the crown princess to strictly discipline the little son." ”
Chang glanced at the palace maid, "What do you know, no matter how extraordinary Xiongying is, there must always be a child of the same age to be lined with it, the emperor clearly said the year before last that he wanted to establish Xiongying as the grandson, but there was no movement, and the prince was not concerned about the palace very anxious." ”
"Don't worry, the crown princess, is there a better candidate besides the emperor's eldest grandson, do you want to establish the one born by the Lu family, not to mention that she is still a sick seedling, and I don't know if I can live to adulthood."
"Don't talk nonsense...... Chang suddenly retched in the middle of his words.
The palace maid hurriedly slapped her back, "Where is the princess uncomfortable, the slave maid will go to the imperial doctor Xuan to diagnose you." ”
Chang Shi hurriedly grabbed the palace maid, "This palace is not sick!" ”
"Could it be that the crown princess is happy!"
Chang nodded and said, "Shh...... Don't make a noise, save the Lu family from knowing that they have bad intentions towards this palace. ”
"Hah!" After a hundred blows, Zhu Xiongying stopped his fists and feet and said, "Master Deng, I'm done!" ”
Seeing this, Chang Tong hurriedly put away his fists and kicks, "I'm done too!" ”
"Good! Then ask the emperor's eldest grandson and Chang Xiaogongzi to come over and shoot arrows. ”
The three of them arrived in front of the arrow target together, Zhu Xiongying and Chang Tong stepped forward to take their respective bows and arrows, both of which were well-made small bows, but Zhu Xiongying's bow was obviously one size larger than Chang Tong's, and even there were a few more arrows.
"I'll come first!" Chang Tong had already opened his bow and arrows first, and shot them out with a whoosh, and the arrows landed steadily on the small tree next to the arrow target, and the tail of the arrow was buzzing and trembling, although it did not hit the target, the strength was not small.
The master who taught martial arts frowned and said: "I often meet spring arrows like a god, and my son is also a famous gunner, why is it so bad when I get to my grandson." ”
Chang Tong's subordinates kept flying short arrows towards the target, and five of the six arrows had been shot out of half a cup of tea, but none of them hit the target. Chang Tong didn't care, after ejaculating the last one in his hand, today's morning workout was finished and he could have breakfast.
Zhu Xiongying suddenly pressed his shoulder, "How many times has Xiaotong told you, you have to hold your breath and concentrate on archery, first pant evenly, how can you shoot accurately with a volt on your chest." ”
Chang Tong turned his head to look at it and nodded, "I know, Brother Xiongying!" He breathed slowly, and suddenly let go of his hand, only to hear a thud, and the arrow was stuck in the bull's-eye.
The martial arts master clapped his hands and said: "This arrow shoots well, and the talent is still there, so let's take a good look at how the emperor's eldest grandson shoots it later." ”
This is not a common thing, gluttony and playfulness are what children of this age should do. It's really because Zhu Xiongying is so good, and after seeing a lot, he even takes it for granted, and he unconsciously thinks that the children next to him should be like this.
Just look at Zhu Xiongying's performance, only one arrow hit the bull's-eye, and the others also hit the target without missing all the arrows, and only one arrow could fall outside the bull's-eye.
Zhu Xiongying obviously had some obsessive-compulsive disorder, and was entangled in the arrow that did not fall in the bull's-eye, saying that he would shoot another round. The martial arts master hurriedly restrained, "Your Highness's body has not yet grown, and you can shoot up to ten arrows a day, and if you shoot again, I'm afraid it will hurt your muscles and bones." ”
Zhu Xiongying smacked his lips and said: "But this arrow didn't hit the bull's-eye, I always feel uncomfortable, I'm afraid that my grandfather will disappoint him when he takes the school exam in Japan." ”
"Your Highness, don't be entangled, your talent is the best among the children of the royal family, and when you grow up, I'm afraid that King Yan will also make you virtuous."
"Oh?" Zhu Xiongying tilted his head and asked, "Is the fourth uncle's martial arts very powerful?" ”
"Of course, in the past, Weichen was ordered by the emperor to take the school Yanwang martial arts, and he didn't think that he would be beaten by Yanwang to vomit blood with just one photo, and two ribs were broken, and Yanwang was only fifteen or sixteen years old at that time."
Zhu Xiongying couldn't help but open his mouth wide, "Master Deng's martial arts are already good, but he lost under the fourth uncle?" He's so powerful! ”
The man smiled: "It's really King Yan's weapons are too strange, there are many changes that can be attacked and defended, at that time, Wei Chen was afraid of hurting King Yan, but King Yan shot very fast, Wei Chen was hit by King Yan under the ribs a little negligently, even the armor was deformed, and he could only get up after lying in bed for three months!" ”
"Oh! What a weapon is so powerful! ”
"It's two fine iron short rods plus an iron chain, a bit like a flail, although it has no tip and no blade, it is very heavy, and it is a phantom when it dances, and I can't see where it will come from, what kind of stick is it!"
"Nunchuck!" Chang Tong added: "I also have this weapon at home, but it is wooden, and I heard my mother say that my father also practiced it in the past, but he often hit his head and then stopped practicing." ”
"Uncle also knows nunchucks? Did he learn from the fourth uncle? ”
"No, my father's nunchucks were learned from my uncle, and so was King Yan, but my father was not as good as King Yan, so he stopped practicing."
"Oh! I never thought that my uncle's martial arts were so high, Master Deng, have you ever tried to compete with your uncle? ”
"This ...... Weichen has never tried with Xu Guogong, I don't know how his martial arts are, Xu Guogong has made great achievements in the east and west, presumably the martial arts will not be bad. ”
"I think so too!" Zhu Xiongying obviously didn't hear this Master Deng's kind words, turned around and ran to Chang's side, "The mother concubine took me out of the palace to go to Xu Guogong's mansion, I want to learn the nunchucks method from Xu Guogong, and when I see the fourth uncle in the future, I will ask him for advice." ”
Chang's purpose of letting Zhu Xiongying practice martial arts was originally to please the old Zhu, in her opinion, studying and studying is the right way, and she is clear about what Ma Du is, it is better to go back to his parents' house to learn martial arts, so he refused at the moment, "Hurry up and have breakfast, and there will be a master to teach you to read when you go back." ”
Zhu Xiongying snorted dissatisfied, "If you don't study today, your mother won't take me there, I'll go to my grandmother!" As he spoke, he pulled Chang Tong out of the East Palace, and Chang couldn't help but sigh, "The older this kid gets, the more disobedient he becomes!" ”
Rumble......
Awakened in his sleep again, Ma Du sat up from the bed, opened the curtains and looked in the direction of the academy, and saw that there was no billowing smoke rising from the direction of the academy, so he put a heart in his stomach.
In order to stay in Yingtian, Zhu was quite concerned about the development of new gunpowder, and the results were produced in less than a month under the guidance of Ma Du, but the nitroglycerin explosive was very unstable, and it had exploded four times in a short period of time.
Thanks to Ma Du's solemn warning from the beginning, although Zhu was disgraced every time, he was not injured, and Lao Zhu, a conscienceless old man, did not worry about his son's life, but issued an order to encourage him to go further and further on the road of death.
Ma Du was about to sleep but was pushed out of bed by Song Shuang, "Don't sleep anymore, Sister Shezi will come to me when I go back, today I will take her to the city to see our shop." ”
On the one hand, Sherz visited the various industries of the Ma family non-stop, and on the other hand, he kept going to the academy to envelop the students who were graduating this year, this is a "greedy" woman, and when she got married, she would definitely ask for a lot of dowries.
After putting on his clothes and washing, he was about to go to Chunhua's stall to drink a bowl of bean porridge, and as soon as he went out, he saw a carriage stop at the intersection under the escort of a group of civilian cavalry.
He was very familiar with this carriage, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and Ma Du said to the curtain of the carriage: "How did Niangniang come, and she didn't let people come to the house in advance to respond, and Weichen was also good to greet her." ”
"Don't get those empty heads, don't toss your family, get in the car and talk to the academy!"
Ma Du stepped into the carriage and just lifted the curtain when he exclaimed, "Why did you two come here too?" ”
