"Then you can go down and have fun, so that Lord Qi can give me some advice." Zhu Ao put his big hand behind her back, gently pushed it forward, and smiled very casually.

Di Linaza knew Zhu Ao's thoughts, that is, she wanted Qi Tai to see that the women of their Su Kingdom were so strong, not to mention men, so that he and the court could retreat from the difficulties, and the two families could live in harmony, not to mention that she had not touched a horse bow and arrow for a long time, which made her, a person who has lived on horseback since childhood, inevitably have some skills, so she learned the appearance of a sergeant, gave a military salute to Zhu Ao, and said angrily: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

After that, like a general who was about to go on the expedition, he threw off the cloak behind him, strode off the general's platform, and shouted to the colonel next to him: "Lead the horse here!" ”

"Yes!" The Colonel gave a military salute to Dilinaza, then turned and led her horse with a tall head.

Di Linaza turned over and got on the horse without saying anything, pulled the reins, clamped the horse's belly between her legs, and shouted: "Drive! Then the prancing horse galloped into the martial arts arena.

She is the princess, so she naturally doesn't have to worry about any discipline and orders in the martial arts arena, and without waiting for the leading commander to give orders, she took out her bow and arrows, rode on a galloping horse, pulled off the hard bow, put on a sharp arrow, aimed at the target in the distance, and shouted: "Go!" ”

Right in the middle of the heart.

"Good!" "Good!" "Good!" The difficulty of this arrow was very great, so it attracted the soldiers of the three armies to applaud together, not because she was a princess, but heartily applauded.

Di Linaza won the opening goal, and her confidence doubled, and she shot three arrows in a row with "whoosh", "whoosh" and "whoosh", each arrow hit the heart, and this time won the tsunami-like applause of all the sergeants.

"Hahaha." Zhu Ao was so happy that she stroked her palms and laughed, she just wanted her to have a fun, but she didn't expect that she was really young, and she shot such impressive results again and again, which really gave the widow a long face, and said: "Lord Qi, how is the skill in the cheap?" ”

Qi Tai smiled, he didn't care about Di Linazha's archery skills, just a woman, at most it was King Su's favorite, adding some luster to his face, and it had no impact on national affairs, and he dealt with it kindly: "Good, good." The princess is really a heroine among women. ”

Next, it is the drill of all the knights of Su State, they will run, horse shooting, slashing and other unique skills to the fullest, so that Zhu Ao is greatly satisfied, the cavalry unit built by the widow at a large price is really extraordinary, this time can make those who covet Su Guo completely dead.

Qi Tai on the side also looked secretly frightened, he was already shocked by the firearms drill just now, and now these cavalry who come and go like the wind and thunder are even more dazzling, this is definitely an irresistible force, King Su is really amazing, in just a few years, he has built an originally inconspicuous feudal country into this.

Zhu Ao looked at Qi Tai's surprised, worried, and nervous expression, and his heart was also secretly refreshed, and he asked with a deliberate smile: "Lord Qi, how are the widowed soldiers?" The widow wanted to hear Lord Qi's evaluation. ”

Qi Tai nodded with a very heavy face, not deliberately complimenting Zhu Ao, but sincerely admiring: "It is really the master of tigers and wolves." ”

The corners of Zhu Ao's mouth rose slightly, and a smug smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Lord Qi has won the award, the widow is located on the border, and he bears the responsibility of respecting the king, so he will not dare to slack off for a day." Recently, the hostility of Samarkand to our Ming Dynasty in the west has become more and more obvious, and they are the great powers in the west, and their strength is far greater than that of the Uighurs. Once he challenges our Da Ming, then my Su Guo will definitely bear the brunt. Therefore, the widow is even more day and night, reorganizing the army and fighting the army, and striving to build our army into a world-class army, and if a foreign enemy dares to invade in the future, he will definitely be told to go back and never return. ”

Qi Tai had a very perfunctory smile on his face, he knew that the foreign enemy that Zhu Ao was talking about could refer to both the Timurid Empire and others, so he sneered and said: "Your Highness is really a person who is loyal to the country, and after the minister returns to Beijing, he will definitely play the Holy Lord, and the Holy Lord will definitely praise His Highness." ”

"Thank you." Zhu Ao said lightly, and then turned his head to see Di Linaza and the others shooting, and no longer answered Qi Tai, his heart was full of thoughts, but his face did not show it at all.

After the end of the exercise, Zhu Ao took Di Linaza and Qi Tai and others to inspect a new granary he built in Yili, and after showing off his strength, he naturally had to show off the amount of grain and grass stored, after all, the soldiers, horses, money and grain are inseparable, and without grain and grass, no matter how many soldiers are in vain.

Zhu Ao ordered the officials who supervised the grain and grass to open the door of the warehouse, and a smell of grain came to his face, and wheat was mainly grown in the north, so everyone smelled a burst of wheat fragrance.

Zhu Ao was very proud, pointing to the piled up of grain and grass like a hill and smiled at Qi Tai: "Lord Qi, how is the grain and grass in my country?" ”

Qi Tai felt that he was being insulted by Zhu Ao, but the problem was that he had no way to be insulted, and he didn't dare to be mad with Zhu Ao, so he could only sneer and smile at Zhu Ao: "It's really a mountain of grain, Your Highness is really rich." I have long heard that His Royal Highness Tuntian is a good hand, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation. ”

Zhu Ao laughed and shouted with great heroism: "Lord Qi is really a widow's bosom friend." The world thinks that widows are powerful at war, but in fact, they don't know, widows don't want to fight, those battles have to be fought, and people have bullied you, can you not fight back? The best thing for the widow to do is to Tuntian, give me more food, the widow is also good at doing this, please go back to the emperor to show the emperor, when the father is alive, the three million stone grain promised by the widow will be handed over to the court every year, and now the father is gone, the widow will still give the court three million stone grain every year, and one grain will not be less, and the times are endless. ”

Zhu Ao had already asked Jin Yiwei to inquire about the imperial court's desire to exchange grain for his secret technology, so he choked Qi Tai with this sentence first, letting him know that the widow is not short of food, and there is no need to talk about the matter of wanting technology.

Qi Tai is also an old fritter who has been in the officialdom for a long time, how can he not know Zhu Ao's abacus, but at this time, he can only accompany Zhu Ao with a smile and pretend to be forced, and said: "Your Royal Highness is concerned about the court, so loyal, the minister is inexplicably moved." ”

Zhu Ao smiled slightly, grabbed Qi Tai's hand, and said with a smile: "Those who know me, Lord Qi is also." Let's go, don't go back to the inn tonight, the widow has already set up a banquet in the palace, and I want to entertain Lord Qi well today. ”

Qi Tai's mission has not been completed, and naturally he doesn't want to go back, God knows when he will have the opportunity to see Zhu Ao again after he goes back, so he immediately bowed his hand to Zhu Ao, and said with a respectful smile: "Thank you, Your Highness, I will go to bother me again tonight." ”

Zhu Ao had a kind smile on his face, did not speak, turned around and got on his horse, and returned to the palace with a group of people.

In the main hall of the palace, Zhu Ao ordered a banquet, but he did not rush to the table, but ran to Sun Yunqi's room in the harem, grabbed his beloved wife's hand, and said, "Has the queen eaten?" The widow invites you to eat delicious food. ”

Sun Yunqi was originally reading a book, but after hearing Zhu Ao's words, he was stunned for a moment, then put the book down, walked up to Zhu Ao with a smile, and said with a smile: "What does the king want to invite his concubines to eat?" Why didn't any news be revealed before. ”

Zhu Ao was happy to see her, and he was also happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Tonight, the widow will hold a banquet in the main hall to entertain Qi Tai, and the queen will go together." ”

I saw Sun Yunqi shook his head with a slight smile, and said in a wordy manner: "Then forget it." When the king entertains Qi Tai, he must be accompanied by the civil and military ministers of my country, and the concubines are harem people, so it is not appropriate to show up. ”

Zhu Ao, who came from later generations, didn't he really care much about this, didn't he just take his woman to have a meal with his brothers? How can there be so much exquisiteness, it's just that Sun Yunqi has been educated in tradition since she was a child, and she doesn't like to show her face, before she married King Su, her father also repeatedly told her not to interfere in the administration of Su State, so as not to be gossiped about.

Therefore, Zhu Ao persuaded several times in succession, but Sun Yunqi insisted on refusing, so he could only give up, changed to a compromise method, and said with a smile: "Then let's do it, the widow will set a table for the queen in the back hall of the main hall, and the queen will eat there." The widow and they have eaten about the same, so that they may be close to the queen. ”

"This ......" Sun Yunqi looked dazed, I don't know which one Zhu Ao is singing, if you want to be happy with her, you can return to the harem after the banquet, why bother asking her to go to the back hall of the main hall to eat, but she also knows that her husband is clever and often has amazing behaviors, so he no longer disobeys, Ying Ying smiled: "Okay, the concubine listens to the king, wait for the concubine to clean up, and then go forward with the king." ”

Zhu Ao smiled slightly, walked straight to the edge of a chair, sat down very casually, and said with a smile: "Hurry up, the widow is waiting for you." ”

After Zhu Ao arranged Sun Yunqi in the back hall of the main hall, he came to the front hall in a straight way, only to see that at this time all kinds of banquets had been put up, but the people below did not wait for him to dare to move, sat on the throne with a smile, raised his wine glass and said: "Today is a private banquet for Lord Qi Tai, you don't have to be restrained, come, come, come." Let's have a toast together. ”

"Respect to Lord Qi, respect Lord Qi." The officials of the Su State frequently raised their wine glasses and greeted Qi Tai.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Qi Tai immediately greeted Zhu Ao very politely, then greeted the others with his wine glass, and finally drank the wine in the cup.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhu Ao and everyone's interest was also mobilized, so he took the opportunity to ask Qi Taidao: "Lord Qi is the Qincha of the imperial court, this time I came to our country, presumably the emperor has a will, today everyone is very interested, Lord Qi is here to announce the decree." ”

Seeing this scene, he immediately stood up and bowed respectfully to Zhu Ao, and said: "Your Highness, not long ago, the emperor and Fang Xiaoru Huang Zicheng and others agreed that His Highness's country is located in the northwest, and the land is not as fertile as Jiangnan, and the pressure on the imperial court of three million stone grain every year is really too great, and the sharp weapons such as cans and arquebuses invented by His Royal Highness are needed by the imperial court, so I want to discuss with His Royal Highness. The supply of grain is reduced by a part every year, and His Royal Highness is requested to inform the imperial court of the method of developing these two sharp weapons. ”

"Hahaha, that's what happened." Zhu Ao smiled, gently put the wine glass on the table, and said: "This matter is not difficult to do, but the widow told Lord Qi before that the person who passed on these sharp weapons to me is a master outside the world, and the widow has spoken to him in advance, so you can't pass this sharp weapon to others." But now that the emperor has an order, the widow went to discuss with the master, and he must be able to understand it. It's just that it's going to take some time. ”

Qi Tai was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect things to go so smoothly, he didn't think that King Su had to have a fight with him, but he didn't expect him to agree so happily, and there were some surprises in the accident, and he took advantage of the strength of the wine to strike while the iron was hot and said: "Your Royal Highness, the emperor has another will." ”

Zhu Ao guessed that it might be the will to change the seal, and a trace of unhappiness flashed in his heart, but he still smiled casually: "Tell me, what is the matter." ”

There is no turning back arrow when the bow is opened, at this point, Qi Tai has no room to retreat, so he can only go up hard, fortunately, it is now in the palace, King Su wants to kill himself is not something that can be solved right away, the queen is in the palace, maybe when the time comes, he can take his own life, arch his hand to Zhu Ao, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the emperor and Fang Xiaoru have also agreed that the king is operating dismally in the northwest, and his hard work is high, and he should be rewarded." Now it is decided to change the title of King Su to King Wu, and to vassal Suzhou, which is the title of the emperor before the emperor, which can be described as a great honor, Suzhou is a paradise on earth, and His Royal Highness can enjoy the blessings of the world there. ”

Although I have been mentally prepared, but I heard Qi Tai say this sentence with my own ears, Zhu Ao was still angry and his face was pale, so he enjoyed the blessings of the world, when the widow just came to the northwest, it was simply a desert where birds don't, but the widow was not discouraged, but took all the military households to operate dismally, and finally solved the problem of food. The insight and good luck of later generations repelled them, where was the court at this time?

Later, he fought with the Uighurs for Hami, and the widow can be said to have tried his best to deceive and betray his hue to win Hami over, where was the court at this time?

In the end, he fought with a 150,000-strong Uighur army under the city of Turpan, which can be said to be fought in the dark, the sun and the moon were dark, the offensive and defensive situation changed several times, and many of the generals under the widow died, and the widow himself almost confessed under the city of Turpan. The war was fought very fiercely, it was written in great detail, and it was scolded by readers, and the editor Huya did not recommend it, so he almost didn't stick to it. At that time, where was the imperial court?
