Chapter 11 Honors and Gifts

Draw drums and thunder, talk about spirit.

Under the crotch, the little dragon horse grinds his hooves and grows his hair, and the prince Yang Shaofang takes off the Yuanyou crown, changes to a green scarf, wears a soapy white jacket with arrow sleeves, inserts a bow on the left, carries an arrow on the right, and carries a miserable eight-sided sword in his hand, taking the lead and roaring out.

Behind him, the sound of hooves rolled, and thousands of horses burst out, rolling towards the Qiyun Ancient Wood, and even the wild high post. Each of the four princes led a team of men and horses to the four directions.

For a time, hundreds of birds flew in the forest, ten thousand beasts were terrified, the sound of people calling horses and neighing was endless, smoke and dust were everywhere, feathers and arrows broke through the air, and there was a scene of fierce war and dragon famine.

After the ceremony, Emperor Yang Xujing was too old to hunt in person, so he went back to the tent with some relatives and dignitaries to drink and chat.

And the people who can sit here are certainly not ordinary people.

When the sound of hooves faded away and the dust calmed down, Yang Xujing raised his glass to these ministers, "I haven't gathered for a long time, please drink all the wine in the cup." ”

Who would dare not drink?

Without the emperor's orders, Yang Xujing had a palace maid to refill it, Yang Xujing was difficult to go out of the palace to rest, and he looked very comfortable, he casually picked up a sour apricot newly picked yesterday and threw it into his mouth.

Unexpectedly, the sour apricot was only the slightest bit close to touching his lower lip, causing the dragon's whiskers to tremble, roll, and jump and escape.

The rest were stunned and didn't dare to cry or laugh.

After a moment of silence, Yang Xujing picked up the treasure carving bow beside him, looked at it reluctantly in his eyes, and then stroked his palm and laughed self-deprecatingly: "I am invincible to the age after all, even the little sour apricot wants to run!" ”

At this time, a burly old man on the top left side of the head said to Hai Arch his hand: "Your Majesty, it's not that you are not old enough, but that the sour apricots are not ripe. ”

This person is wearing a dark pigment brocade robe, and does not make any embellishments, is too old, wide mouth and wide forehead, white beard flutters in the wind, eyes are light and introverted, not angry and self-assured, it is no one else, it is the head of the thirteen crowns of prestige in the capital, the elder of the three dynasties, Wei Zhuangchong, the auxiliary prince of Nanjie.

Yang Xujing also arched his hand and said, "The auxiliary state is reasonable. ”

He rubbed his forehead with a half-clenched fist, pretended to be pensive, and then asked with a smile, "But if this apricot is ripe, won't it stick to the dough?" ”

Wei Zhuangchong replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the dirt on his surface can still be saved, but if he is injured due to a momentary emergency, the gains outweigh the losses, and the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, Your Majesty naturally understands." ”

Yang Xujing laughed heartily and looked around, and praised: "What is the elder of the Three Dynasties, the humerus of Da Qi!" I always learn a lot from words and deeds! ”

"Your Majesty praises falsely and tortures the old minister." Wei Zhuang Chong Shi Li said.

In the morning sun, the building lamp rises and falls, because the spring hunt is to show the martial virtue of the imperial court, so there is no silk and bamboo, everyone is just chatting and laughing.

It was almost noon, and when everyone in the dragon tent wanted to raise their glasses again, suddenly a soldier came to report.

The soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army walked sonorously and were full of energy, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”

Yang Xujing leaned over slightly, "Where does the joy come from?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Zhao captured a Rui Beast White Deer alive!"

Yang Xujing was overjoyed and pointed out of the drapery, "Is it really the white deer of the Rui Beast?" Have you ever been detained? ”

"Outside the tent!"

Yang Xujing stood up and beckoned everyone on the left and right, "Rui beasts are infested, it's rare to see, everyone go out with me to watch and watch." ”

As soon as the guards lifted the curtains, they saw a deer with fur like snow lying in the wooden cage, it didn't know that it was afraid of fear, a pair of bright eyes followed Yang Xujing's eyes and looked at it, and the two furry ears were raised high, as if this forest camp was full of fun for it.

"It's really a god!" Yang Xujing strode forward, was surrounded by his hands around the wooden cage a few times, took a closer look, and asked Yang Shaoding, the king of Zhao who was standing aside, "Shilang, where did you capture this elf beast?" ”

King Zhao replied: "Back to my father, my sons and soldiers went to Beiling. Rui Beast is smart and clever, and it took a lot of effort for his ministers and soldiers to be captured. ”

"Okay, you can capture the Rui Beast, you have merit, you should be rewarded!"

At this time, the crown prince Yang Shaofang, the king of Qin, and the king of Han also came back one after another, and the emperor Yang Xujing happily beckoned them to come to admire the white deer.

Yang Shaofang and others praised each other, and the ministers and clans also congratulated each other, and the emperor was happy.

Emperor Yang Xujing instructed the chamberlain, and said loudly: "King Zhao captures the Rui Beast, go and get the treasure carved bow and give it to King Zhao for encouragement, and the rest of the soldiers have their own rewards!" ”

"Treasure Bow?" Everyone shuddered suddenly.

Treasure carving bow, color arrows, this is the emperor's royal bow and arrow, especially when Yang Xujing was in his prime, he was also skilled in bows and horses, and loved bows and arrows.

Later, the first emperor died, and the treasure carving bow returned to his hands.

Therefore, in addition to a specific craftsman to wipe and maintain this bow, others will die when they touch it, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is even a symbol of imperial power.

Although King Zhao captured the rare Rui Beast, the emperor has always been gracious, but it will never come to this.

Such an unexpected act shocked everyone, but none of them dared to admonish those officials who were not there.

King Zhao hurriedly knelt down, "The treasure carving bow has followed his father for many years, and it is the beloved thing of his father, and his sons and daughters will never dare to accept the reward!" ”

Yang Xujing didn't care, waved his hand and said: "Don't panic, I'm old, and it's useless to have this treasure carving bow, since you can capture the Rui Beast, I naturally want to give it to you, get up!" ”

King Zhao finally smiled happily and said, "Son-in-law, thank your father, Emperor Longen!" ”

The wind and clouds are fickle, and the flag is fierce.

The treasure carving bow was given, and the crown prince Yang Shaofang, who saw this scene on the side, suddenly felt that his face was gloomy, as if he was no longer in the East Palace.

Those important ministers of the clan either bowed their heads and remained silent, or stood by and watched, and Wei Zhuangchong, the prince of the auxiliary state, stared deeply at the brilliant treasure carving bow, thoughtfully.

After that, the emperor ordered people to take care of the white deer carefully, and to bring them back to the imperial garden, and the men and horses of each battalion shared the wild things they hunted.

The crown prince Yang Shaofang had no choice but to hide his cramped thoughts, congratulated King Zhao as usual, and burned wild game with several princes and brothers, facing the warm breeze, drinking and laughing, as if nothing had happened.

The sun has turned west, hunting before noon, giving a bow in the afternoon, coupled with the urging of wine, Yang Shaofang unconsciously has a little drunk.

He said goodbye to others, and the clan, which was also overwhelmed by alcohol, took this opportunity to return to the account.

Yang Shaofang was depressed in his heart, and ordered someone to bring some melons and fruits to sober up the wine, and invited the maid to put out the four treasures and prepare for the post.

Suddenly a wind blew in, and Yang Shaofang kept writing, just asking, "Where does the wind come from?" ”

No one answered, Yang Shaofang was surprised, raised his head and looked, and saw an old man standing at the door, with an elegant temperament.

Yang Shaofang hurriedly put down his pen, finished writing the rest of the words, and then greeted him in surprise: "Lord Shen in the middle book? How did you get here! ”

Shen Hongcai neatly arranged his purple crane robe, and bowed his hand and said, "The old minister has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Sir, please take a seat!"

Yang Shaofang ordered the sencha left and right.

Shen Hongcai asked with a mysterious smile: "What does His Highness think of this game?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Yang Shaofang suddenly understood, so he said with a solemn face: "Lord Shen should ask this, "Is this bow still strong?" ”。”

"What His Highness said is extremely true!" Shen Hongcai stroked his beard and said, "The old minister is here to relieve His Highness's worries." ”

"Worry-free?"

Shen Hongcai looked at the words that Yang Shaofang had just written, and tasted them slowly, "The old minister looks at His Royal Highness's words, he can't erect beams horizontally, he can't erect columns, he looks like a blunt knife, and he can't stand like a broken sword, he is restless in his heart, and the words are incomplete." ”

Yang Shaofang sighed and said, "My lord, I want to ask you if you have any way to solve the ...... for this palace Solution? ”

Shen Hongcai stood up and arched his hand again: "There are many camps here, and it is inconvenient to speak, how about daring to ask His Highness to go to Qingzhuxi with his ministers?" ”

"Qingzhuxi? It was a pure place! Yang Shaofang got up and walked side by side with Shen Hongcai.
