The next day, before dawn, Gan Tang took Yin Muxi to ride a horse and wait next to Jiankang Zhengyang Gate, Zhengyang Gate is the south gate of Jiankang, yesterday afternoon Di Bo has sent someone to inform him that they will go out of Beijing together after meeting at Zhengyang Gate.

In a moment, the city gate opened, a team rushed out of the city, and there were more than a dozen hunting dogs in the team, Gan Tang saw Di Bo at a glance, he was wearing a golden crown today, wearing a white tight-fitting samurai uniform, wearing a scarlet daze, carrying a sword at his waist, holding an eagle bow, and he was even more heroic, and more than 20 guards were tall and burly, and their posture was vigorous, all of them were strong martial artists.

In addition to the guards, Di Bo was accompanied by three young yameni, all of whom were about twenty years old, also wearing samurai uniforms, holding bows and swords, and had extraordinary appearances, while the other was slightly petite, and it turned out to be the princess Chai Wei.

"Lord Wang!"

Di Bo saw Gan Tang waiting outside the city gate, and waved to him happily, Gan Tang rode up to meet him, and hugged his fist to Chai Wei on the horse and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess!" ”

Di Bo saw Gan Tang coming on time, his heart was happy, and he hurriedly introduced him to three companions, he pointed to one of them and said, "This is General Liu Zong, the deputy chief soldier of the Royal Forest Army." ”

Liu Zong has a full beard and is tall and burly. Because of his meritorious service in quelling the rebellion, he was promoted to the deputy chief soldier of the Zhengsanpin Royal Forest Army, and went out of the city with the princess Chai Wei to escort him.

The other young man was of medium stature, although he was also wearing a samurai uniform, but he was a little weak, his skin was fair, his cheeks were thin, and he was also around twenty years old. ”

Jia Rong smiled and greeted Gan Tang warmly, at this time, Chai Wei came to Gan Tang's side and said with a smile: "Who is this beautiful girl, don't you want to introduce it to your aunt?" ”

Gan Tang smiled: "The sun has come out!" Let's talk as we go. ”

Seeing that there were indeed many pedestrians around, they were congested at the city gate, obstructing the passage of passers-by, so he smiled and said, "Okay! Then let's get out of town. ”

Liu Zong and a few guards led the hunting team to open the way in front, galloping all the way, Gan Tang also joined the team, and walked forward with Chai Wei, and the group rushed towards the south of the city.

Dibo's hunting place is located in the southwest of Jiankang seventy miles away, that area is affected by the residual veins of Zhongshan and distributes a lot of hills, the largest of which is called Malinggang, stretching for more than 100 miles, sparsely populated, lush forest, a small river runs through it, there are many pheasants and hares, elk herds, wild boars, clouded leopards, black bears and tigers are infested from time to time, it is an excellent place for the magnates of the capital to hunt, and the imperial court also issued a decree to strictly prohibit hunters from hunting here

Gan Tang whispered: "Huanggu, this is the daughter of my senior sister's family, take her out today to open her eyes." ”

At this time, the acting law was strict, so when he knew that Yin Muxi was the daughter of Senior Sister Gan Tang, he no longer thought about it.

It is impossible for the children of the royal family to return from the hunt on the same day, and it is impossible to be accompanied by only more than 20 followers, it is already noon when they arrive at the hunting camp, dozens of tents have been set up in the camp, more than 100 soldiers have arrived in advance yesterday to prepare, Gan Tang also unexpectedly saw more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs, this should be the palace maids who serve the princess Chai Wei.

The arrival of the team made the camp lively, and at this time, a guard ran to Gan Tang and saluted: "Your Highness, please enter the tent and rest for a while, please come with me!" ”

Gan Tang followed him to a camp tent, and the guard smiled and said: "This is the camp of the prince, please enter the tent to rest, and someone will be notified of the specific hunting time!" ”

At this time, Di Bo walked in from the outside and said worriedly: "The last night the Taishi visited, and I talked to the Taishi and my father about changing the law. ”

Gan Tang didn't answer, he asked Di Bo to sit down, Di Bo sighed and said: "My father reprimanded me for being delusional, he said that I have the energy to think nonsense, so it is better to do something practical for the imperial court." ”

"What does Chengde Gong mean by practical things?"

"Some local officials secretly told Quanzhou Road City Bo Si Pu Shou Geng and his son to build a mansion in Quanzhou imitation palace, there was a trespass, raising thousands of private soldiers, Jia Taishi also said that Pu Shou Geng moved too much in the southeast, resulting in local restlessness, seriously affecting the northward transportation of Nanyang grain."

"Because so far this year, it has been almost five months, and it has not rained in the south of the Yangtze River, coupled with Pu Shougeng's obstruction of the Nanyang to Jiankang boats, which has caused the grain prices in the north and south of the Yangtze River to rise by 50%, and the people have complained."

Gan Tang heard a clue, so he smiled and said: "Does the Taishi want the prince to dispose of Pu Shougeng?" ”

"Taishi didn't say it explicitly when he talked about this matter with his father, but when he told me these things, I don't think Taishi will be untargeted, does the prince think I should take the initiative to ask Ying to go to the southeast?"

Gan Tang was a little surprised in his heart, Di Bo actually asked himself, didn't he have a trustworthy friend?

Gan Tang pondered for a moment and said, "Has Brother Di asked others?" ”

Di Bo shook his head: "The imperial family can't make friends with courtiers, this is the Great Xia ancestral system, and it's not good for me to ask others for advice." ”

After a pause, Di Bo continued: "Under normal circumstances, the concubine cannot interfere in politics, but there are special circumstances, that is, the Son of Heaven took the initiative to hand over the matter to the concubine, and I persuaded my father and Jia Taishi to support Wang Cheng's transformation of the law. In fact, I was already violating the ancestral teachings, although my father reprimanded me for being cranky, Jia Taishi did not blame me for interfering in politics, but told me in detail about Pu Shougeng, I think this is a hint. ”

Gan Tang took a few steps with his hands in his hands, and his mind began to spin rapidly, at this time, his heart suddenly moved, and he asked, "Has Jia Rong talked to you about this?" ”

Di Bo was stunned, "What does the prince mean by this?" ”

"Because I heard Brother Di talk about Master Jia just now, I thought of Jia Rong."

"Jia Rong shouldn't have anything to do with this matter! Although he only temporarily asked to go hunting with me yesterday, I think he should be for the princess, you know that Your Majesty can't govern independently, and the queen mother is in charge of all affairs in the palace, this Jia Rong is staring at the princess like a fly. ”

Di Bo's eyes showed a look of boredom, although he and the princess were not married, but the marriage between himself and the princess was given by the emperor, but as long as the princess had a chance to leave the palace, this Jia Rong would appear by her side.

However, he is the son of the powerful and opposition-leaning Jia Taishi, if he was an ordinary person, he would have ordered him to be beaten half to death with a stick.

Gan Tang pondered for a moment and said, "Can this matter make me think again?" ”

Debo laughed, "I didn't ask you to answer now, you can answer tomorrow!" ”

Di Bo is mainly no one to discuss this matter with him, although Cao Shuang and others are his close friends, but they are all stubborn lords of the capital, and they don't understand these powerful relationships, and although Gan Tang is young, he is well-versed in the past and the present, far-reaching, and sees the problem very thoroughly, which makes Di Bo very impressed, and he naturally regards Gan Tang as a friend who can discuss major matters.

At this time, Chai Wei's excited voice came from afar: "It's time to go hunting, Xiao Gantang clean up, let's go!" ”

Gan Tang had nothing to clean up, so he went out of the tent and led the horse to follow Di Bo to the meeting place.

The hunting ground is a wilderness meadow covering thousands of acres, which is also covered with clusters of shrubs, and a stream flows through the edge of the grassland, dividing the land into two parts: the grassland and the forest, the princess goes hunting, safety is the first priority, the soldiers have cleared the grassland first, and drove away all the wild beasts that may be hiding in the grass, and there are only hares, pheasants and wild ducks in the grass at present.

There were more than twenty people participating in the hunt, and all of them lined up in the high places of the wilderness, and the princess Chai Wei was particularly excited, she changed into a bright red samurai uniform, draped in a large coat embroidered with gold edges, held a small thrush bow in her hand, and a beautiful rouge horse in her crotch.

Yin Muxi was dressed in a white samurai costume and rode a white horse with white hair. Parallel to Chai Wei, the whole air made people feel fresh for a while, although this was not her first time participating in hunting, it was her first time hunting, but she couldn't ride and shoot, at most stop her horse and shoot a few pheasants and ducks.

When he arrived at Xingwei and arranged the location of the hunting ground, Di Bo was a little lazy again, and sent Liu Zong and Yin Muxi to escort Chai Wei to hunt, he pulled Gan Tang behind, and found a secluded place to sit and talk.

Di Bo saw that Gan Tang had only worked hard for more than half a month, and there was a lot of meat on his face, so he couldn't help but joke with a smile: "Lord Wang, I heard that you rest every night at night, and you have become rich like this with only a lot of effort!" Isn't it, that long night is long, and there is no beauty with red sleeves to add fragrance......"

Gan Tang saw Di Bo's tone and appearance. I couldn't help but laugh along.

Recently, Gantang has been writing a lot of manuscripts every day, but he often uses oil lamps or candles at night. The light is dim. Reading is extremely tiring for the eyes. Gan Tang didn't want to be in a hurry and make his eyes short-sighted. Try to read less and write less every night.

Gan Tang saw that Di Bo had a lot less than some time ago: "I know that you are worried about state affairs, and you have to take care of yourself!" ”

The two of them said that after all, it was their own private matter, and they could only stop at the point, so they changed the conversation and mentioned that they had hunted and eaten those roast chickens on their previous trip. Thinking about waiting for a while, when the line is over, I want to put on a few yellow sheep or pheasants and roast them well, but it is also good.

If you really say anything, you will come. As soon as Di Bo mentioned that the meat on the ground on the hind legs of the yellow sheep was the most delicious, he heard the movement of the woods on the side, and a few yellow sheep rushed in.

When Di Bo saw this, his face showed joy, and he hurriedly made a silent gesture to Gan Tang, and raised his bow and arrow, wanting to shoot one.

The yellow sheep seemed to be being chased, getting closer and closer, and Dibo faintly felt that something was wrong. He was still thinking about whether to use a knife to cut one directly, when he heard Di Bo say in his ear: "Be careful! ”

Before Di Bo could react, Gan Tang had already grabbed his arm and pulled him aside.

Just as he heard the sound of "swish", just as he was dodging, an arrow happened to fly past his cheek.

In the afterglow, where the two of them stayed just now, seven or eight arrows had already landed.

Dibo was shocked and angry, and shouted, "Who is blind, why don't you get out of the ...... quickly?"
