"Whoever shoots must sit on the seat, with one knee on the battle, and the other across the seat. Hold the bow and hit it, and then put it in the middle, and want to be its string heart......"

Wang Shouren also presided over the township examination as a teacher, and also taught young scholars in the capital to talk about his summary experience for many years. However, it was still the first time that a civil official in his proper manner taught archery to a son of a family. He once said to his friends and scholars that he practiced martial arts to strengthen his body, but now it is not the Tang Dynasty when all scholars wear swords, nor is it the Song Dynasty when the imperial court vigorously encouraged the formation of a bow and arrow society. And his hobby, even his father Wang Hua didn't think so, and even blamed him very much, but he didn't want to use it at this time.

At this time, it was a gap in practice, and the five hundred young soldiers who had been re-replenished sat around the ground, all of them looked curiously at Wang Shouren who was standing there holding bows and arrows, and many people were even whispering curiously. The reason is very simple, the difference between civil officials and military generals in these years is really easy to recognize, and no one expected that it would be a young civilian official who practiced archery at this time.

"The shelves look pretty good......"

"I don't know if I can shoot! By the way, I heard that our Lord Xu has been impeached by many bosses before, so maybe he deliberately arranged it this way, just to make this head of the military department make a fool of himself? ”

How did the people talk about it, but Zhu Houzhao was softly repeating Wang Shouren's recitation of "Shooting Scripture", and his eyes looked at the protagonist who was not in a hurry to wind up the arrow. When he heard him read "the eyes are attentive, the hands are fingered, and the heart is interesting", I saw Wang Shouren, who was riding on the horse, suddenly let go, and a feathered arrow suddenly crossed a hundred paces away, and plunged into the arrow target. The next moment, Ma Qiao, who volunteered to look at the target, trotted to the edge of the target, took off the target and rushed over in a hurry.

"Right in the Heart!"

For a moment, there was an uproar below. Although Zhu Houzhao often watched the generals shoot willows during the Dragon Boat Festival, I have to say that among the performances of the nobles and generals, except for one or two who stood out, most of them missed more or less. At this time, seeing that Wang Shouren, a civil official, had such good skills, he blurted out praise after being stunned at first: "Good! ”

Having just seen the innate intelligence of this little marquis, and seeing that he was also sincerely interested in archery, Wang Shouren was relieved in his heart, and secretly thought that this gentleman was not incorrigible. So, he waved his hand and ordered Namaqiao to put the arrow target back, and as soon as he rode the horse back to its original position, it turned out to be five arrows in a row. Although this time it was only four out of five arrows, it still aroused the sound of color in the sky. At this time, Wang Shouren turned the horse's head back, and after jumping off the horse neatly, he arched his hand to Zhu Houzhao.

"Some hands are raw, and the bowstring is softer."

Wang Shouren saw Xu Xun thoughtfully holding a bow and was pondering, so he immediately said: "Commander Xu, today I have tested the archery skills of these young soldiers, and there are only twenty-two people who can shoot. But this is not surprising, after all, to practice archery, you must first have a good bow, and then you have to spend countless feather arrows, these people are from a well-off family. As for the rest, some won't even pull their bows. ”

"It's not easy to have twelve who can shoot, as long as you change them from being able to shoot to being good at shooting, it takes more effort." Xu Xun smiled slightly, and immediately said, "I have already thought about it, let them practice queue and advance and retreat in the first month, these techniques are only used for entertainment during the usual rest, to hang their appetite and interest." As for the second month, they began to practice formations, and those who could shoot concentrated on practicing archery. The two armies fight each other, one looks at the tactics, the second looks at the momentum, the third looks at the cooperation, and the fourth is individual bravery. ”

"Good!"

Wang Shouren nodded without thinking, and was about to add something when Zhu Houzhao's loud coughing sound was heard on the side. Turning his head and seeing the unhappy look on the face of this Shouning Hou Shizi, he remembered his promise, and had a headache for a while. And Xu Xun saw Zhu Houzhao's obvious gaze, so he smiled and said, "Does the little marquis also want to try his hand?" ”

"Yes, yes!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded again and again almost without thinking, and he didn't see the strange faces of the eunuchs around him. At this time, Xu Xun glanced at Ma Qiao over there, saw Ma Qiao nodded knowingly, and suddenly blew a bamboo whistle again, and the young soldiers who had just watched the excitement had to get up one by one, and he led Zhu Houzhao with a false hand.

"Little Hou Ye, behind a few houses over there, there is a martial arts arena, I have already set up a target there, you might as well go there and practice well."

"Good, good!"

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was urging Wang Shouren to go to the other side, Liu Jin and the others also hurriedly followed. Xu Xun retracted his gaze and stood there hesitating, and suddenly, he heard a cough coming from beside him.

"Xu Shizi."

"Ah, it's Gonggong Xiao!"

Turning his head to see that it was Xiao Jing, Xu Xun was stunned and hurriedly arched his hand. Xiao Jing glanced at the military formation that was in full swing over there, and said meaningfully to Xu Xun: "The prince is so attentive, after three months, these young troops will definitely be a purge atmosphere, and I think that the bosses will have nothing to say at that time." It's just that the prince should not forget the fundamentals, that is, His Royal Highness the Prince. It is precisely because His Royal Highness is so gracious to you that you have today, but you let him mess with Wang Shouren, if His Royal Highness lets Wang Shouren turn around, even if you recommend it at that time, it will not be of any benefit to you from now on! ”

Xiao Jing is now the master of ceremonies, and there is no point in it, so what he is counting on is that he can continue to protect the descendants of the Xiao family for a period of time, consolidate the holy family, and there is a point in retreating. Therefore, when he is a lot older, he really can't believe that the young Xu Xun is willing to destroy the Great Wall by destroying himself and fulfilling others. It's like he, Xiao Jing, is certainly good friends with many civil officials, but how can he not know that most people look down on him as a eunuch in their hearts? People are watching out for him, and he's watching out for others!

Wang Shouren is completely an uncontrollable factor, in contrast, Xu Xun has a handle in his hands and will accept his favor!

"Thank you Gonggong Xiao for mentioning it, I understand this piece of love." Xu Xun bowed, straightened his waist and said with a smile, "Since Gonggong Xiao doesn't go down with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to practice archery, can you go to a place with me?"

Bypassing the rows of willow trees behind the inner school field, Xiao Jing only felt that his front suddenly opened up. It was a long galloping road, with an arrow target every twenty paces or so on both sides, apparently for people to practice galloping. At this time, Xu Xuncai said: "I found this when I was patrolling at night before, and I heard that I think when I was young, I used to practice galloping here when Xuanmiao was young." Although it has not been used for many years, it has been well preserved. But galloping is not something that can be practiced in a moment and a half, and it is necessary to practice the bow, starting from foot shooting. ”

Xu Xun said and took a bow from the shelf set up on the side of the gallop, stepped on the quiver and strode to the center of the gallop, calmly pulled the bow and opened the arrow, when the arm was completely tense and straightened, he only drank lightly, the bowstring like a full moon was suddenly released, only to hear a low sound of Zheng, the sharp arrow left the string, and the next moment, a small colonel rushed out with an arrow target.

"Congratulations, my lord, I won!"

Xiao Jing saw that there was a feather arrow tied to the red heart of the arrow target, and he couldn't help but step forward to Xu Xun's position to take a visual look, and he couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw that there were fifty steps. Didn't you say that Xu Xun was led astray when he was young, and he never became proficient? Why is this archery technique so accurate?

"Shizi, you are ......"

"I've probably been practicing for a month or two. However, because I was the eldest uncle Qiqi before, I didn't dare to use the murder weapon, so I first held the bow in the room, and my father taught me to practice a shelf. It was only after I was appointed that my father really taught me by hand. Now this accuracy is not good, if it is a foot shot, if the shot misses, it is five or five open. Seeing Xiao Jing thoughtfully, Xu Xun said, "To be honest, instead of just thinking about the opportunity to train troops in Xiyuan and not leaving His Highness, I should think about whether those bosses will find fault with me again after three months." ”

"Okay, since you have succeeded, our family is worried in vain!"

When sending Xiao Jing away, Xu Xun was also thinking about Zhu Houzhao in his heart. This prince has been in contact with him until now, and he knows about six or seven points, that is, he is smart and smart, but he does not have a long surname. Now Wang Shouren is still a little tender, and he doesn't know the true identity of Zhu Houzhao, the master, when the time comes, he really wants to pick a picker and give up halfway, and he will still have to clean up the situation!

In the evening of this day, as soon as Emperor Hongzhi stepped into the East Warm Pavilion of Kunning Palace, he saw Zhu Houzhao lying on the warm couch with a bitter face. Seeing several eunuchs sweating profusely pinching his arms and legs for him, Zhu Houzhao let out a miserable cry from time to time, and he couldn't help but change his face. At this time, Empress Zhang on the side couldn't help it, and came up with a chatter complaint, and in the end, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't resist it, and took advantage of Zhu Houzhao's cry of pain to support Empress Zhang, and he took the opportunity to sneak outside, and called a few chamberlains who followed the prince over for questioning.

"Prince, what's going on?"

Liu Jin and Gu Da used Ma Yongcheng to knead those sore muscles for Zhu Houzhao, and at this moment, everyone else suddenly went to see Zhang Yong. Seeing this, Zhang Yong had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Back to the emperor, His Royal Highness is practicing archery with the king of the military department today, and it took a long time to practice, so I ......."

Knowing that Zhu Houzhao had been practicing archery with Wang Shouren all afternoon, Emperor Hongzhi was slightly stunned, and then asked, "What about Xu Xun?" ”

Xu Shizi...... In training, I didn't follow alongside. ”

Emperor Hongzhi frowned when he heard this, then stretched out again, and after asking a few more casual questions, he waved his hand and ordered them to retreat, and then walked back to the Dongnuan Pavilion again, very satisfied.

A talent who does not blindly greet the prince, but knows how to stop advancing and retreating, the pros and cons are rare!

However, as soon as he entered the door, he saw something flying towards him, and hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, and when he looked down again, he found that it was a pillow used to lean on a warm couch. Seeing that Empress Zhang was glaring at him angrily with another jade pillow, he suddenly panicked.

"You actually let Houzhao suffer like this, you ...... You pay my son! ”
