There is nothing else to do in the mountains, and I don't know how long it will be cold.

Huangzhuang is located in the northern suburbs of the capital, next to the mountains and forests, and can barely reach a few such artistic conceptions.

Time passes by, and soon it is September, and the autumn mood is getting stronger, and the mountains are full of red, red, yellow and yellow maple leaves or ginkgo biloba mixed together, which is thrillingly beautiful.

In particular, for Zhiwei, a little girl who lived in the south when she was a child, and was confined to a palace to see the green trees and red flowers after entering the palace, she was even more dizzying every day, and she couldn't wait to run into the forest and roll on the soft and dry ground covered with fallen leaves.

I don't know if her eyes looking at the mountains and forests in the distance were too hot, so that she infected a certain emperor, the day after Chongyang, His Majesty the emperor, who was out of the palace as usual, suddenly ordered that he should go hunting in the forest.

The emperor's reason is very good, because there are disasters and famines everywhere this year, and he, the son of a country, is embarrassed to go to the palace to escape the summer, and go hunting or something by the way. But the Huangzhuang is on the outskirts of Beijing, and the mountains and forests next to it also belong to the royal estate, so it is very convenient to go in and save trouble for hunting, and it can also save manpower and material resources.

So, without telling anyone, he only took King Shin and a few guards and rode away.

Regarding the emperor's obsession with leaving the palace and spending time in the imperial village, the ministers have developed from the initial opposition, refusal, and advice to the present, and they are almost numb.

Because, they couldn't persuade the emperor, and even the elders couldn't make the emperor change his mind.

There was an imperial historian who even wanted to hit the pillar and die, but was quickly saved by the guards beside the emperor, and "accidentally" stepped on his leg bone, so that the imperial historian could only lie at home for three months to recuperate, and never dared to go on a hunger strike to die.

There are two main issues that the ministers are most worried about, one is security, and the other is the system.

The former is the top priority, and the latter is just a nice word, in fact, they are more worried that the emperor runs out of the palace all day long to play, and may indulge in the outside world of flowers, such as falling in love with some rural women who have to bring back to the palace as concubines, and so on.

To their surprise, neither of these fears had happened.

The only "safety accident" was that the horse of the emperor's personal guard accidentally trampled on an old farmer's chicken, and the old farmer who was not long-eyed came out with a hoe to reason.

In addition, the ministers were surprised to find that His Majesty the Emperor was very fond of chatting with them about family affairs, and from time to time he would mention trivial matters in their families, which made them wonder whether there was a political enemy who deliberately made a small report, or the Emperor's eyeliner did it.

For a time, the reverence of most courtiers for the emperor reached a new peak, and suspicion continued among the ministers. Thus, the emperor himself, who had behaved out of line, was able to obtain a rare peace.

Of course, the premise is to learn to ignore the small notebooks that will be handed over to Huangzhuang to provide raw materials for open-air heating at every now and then.

The king of letters on horseback said with admiration: "The majesty of the royal brother is growing. Before the younger brother went to Ganzhou, the elders in the court didn't seem to have such a good temper? ”

Huo Yanzhi smiled coldly, "It's just that they have a lot of things to do, and they don't have time to take care of themselves." ”

The first assistant and the second assistant have been very obedient recently, mainly because he took advantage of the fact that the governor of Jiangnan was ineffective in suppressing bandits and concealing the disaster, so he conveniently suspended Governor Wu. And Governor Wu was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he was suspended from his post very neatly, showing the appearance of cooperating with the investigation, and he bombarded the Jiangnan local officials of the sub-auxiliary faction for hindering his work.

The shrimp soldiers and crabs below will fight hotly, but the head above will smile more sincerely and cordially than usual. The undercurrent is surging in the court, and most of the imperial histories who can wield the pen have been pulled by the two factions to write an excerpt to impeach each other, how can they have the time to stare at the emperor's private life?

King Xin said, "Your Majesty is still witty. This trick is good~"

Huo Yanzhi snorted: "I'm working so hard to slap my ass today, but what do you ask me to do?" ”

King Xin smiled: "Naturally! The younger brother only begged, and when he hunted for a while, the imperial brother could let the younger brother let him, and don't let the younger brother lose too ugly. ”

Huo Yanzhi laughed even more sarcastically: "Didn't you want to go to the end of the world with a sword since you were a child?" Where has all the riding and archery kung fu gone in the past few years? Don't forget it all, right? ”

King Shin hurriedly changed the topic and proposed, "It's not fun to hunt alone, why don't you bake it after hunting and use it as lunch?" ”

Zhao Jiufu, who was panting on horseback, also chimed in and said: "This is a good idea, why don't you let the slave maid give an order, let someone bring some cooking ingredients, and wait for Your Majesty and the prince to return at the camp?" ”

Although Huo Yanzhi didn't think there was any essential difference between roasting meat in the mountains and forests and bringing it back to the Zhuangzi a few miles away, he still responded to the situation.

Zhi Wei, who was brought over as a "cooking tool", was a little confused.

It's okay for her, a fake cook who is a halfway monk, to stir-fry and stir-fry, why do you still want her to perform a wild barbecue?

The point is, she won't!

Zhao Jiufu suddenly felt distressed, because he would not either.

Fortunately, some of the guards stationed in the camp knew, and several people came together to discuss for a while, and finally negotiated a charter.

Zhiwei decided to draw a scoop according to the gourd, according to the guard's description, first peeled off the fur of the wild animals, then disemboweled, washed and washed, smeared with spices and coarse salt inside and out, and used a string of thin branches with a hard texture, and then hung on the fire to roast.

She and Zhao Jiufu and others picked up branches and stones separately, finished all the preparations, and began to wait for the emperor and others who went out hunting to come back.

But after waiting for a long time, the emperor and the king of Xin came back with a living person.

Of course, hares, pheasants and other things also have some gains, but they have lost their sense of existence under the backdrop of this big living person.

The most amazing thing is that this person is not a beautiful and moving forest fairy, or a troubled village girl, but a scholar with a white face and a beard, about twenty-seven or eight years old.

The latter, like the emperor and the king, all sat on horses, but their faces were a little pale, and there was a guard sitting in front of them.

Zhi Weihu thought suspiciously, why did such a person suddenly appear in the royal mountain forest? If you are a woodcutter, you can also understand that you are forced to take risks for your livelihood, but you can be a scholar...... He's not here to assassinate the emperor, is he?

Soon, she got the answer from King Shin's words.

"Manager Zhao, Miss Zhiwei, is there a doctor in Zhuangzi?"

When he got the negative answer, King Shin frowned, and his expression became even more guilty.

"In that case, why don't you go to Zhuangzi with me to rest for a day or two, and wait for someone to call a doctor to come over to treat the injury?"

Zhi Wei's gaze fell on the man's other leg that was blocked by the horse's back, and only then did she find that the hem of the other party's dark cloth shirt was stained with a few dark colors, like bloodstains.

"Is it a passerby who was injured by mistake?"

Because of this incident, the emperor didn't have the intention of having a picnic, and directly ordered to go back to Zhuangzi.

Coincidentally, as soon as they approached Zhuangzi, everyone ran into Hongying, who came out with a small basket to dig bitter vegetables.

When Hongying saw this team of people galloping over, not only was she not startled, but she watched it with relish. Driven by this mentality of watching the excitement, her kneeling down and saluting was half a beat slower.

So, she saw an unfit in the crowd of guards.

"Mr. Jia? How did you end up here? Hongying exclaimed.

She was soon overshadowed by the sound of horses' hooves, and almost no one heard her, except for Zhi Wei and Mr. Jia himself, who had noticed her.

Huo Yanzhi, who was in the lead, saw the fat girl's strange face and couldn't help but look back. It just so happened that Mr. Jia also turned around at that time, and the fat girl was stunned for a while, and then threw down the basket and chased after them.

When he got off the horse, Huo Yanzhi asked, "Mr. recognizes the girl just now?" ”

Shuchang went to the end: "Don't dare to deceive Your Majesty, the grass people and the Hongying girl are half of the countrymen." ”

Huo Yanzhi threw the horsewhip to Zhao Jiufu, and seemed to smile: "Mr. has good eyesight, but there is no shortage of people with such good eyesight in the world." ”

King Xin interjected with a smile: "What does the imperial brother have to consider, can you give the younger brother a face, and wait for this gentleman to heal his injuries?" ”

The scholar sighed again and said, "Corporal Lixian of the prince, he is considerate, and the grass people deserve it." ”

Huo Yanzhi entered the house surrounded by everyone, "Oh? Why did you say that, sir? If there is nothing in the heart, why should you be ashamed? ”

Although the scholar walked with a limp, a little embarrassed, his expression was very serious, and he was not distorted too much by the pain of the wound on his leg.

"When I feel guilty, it is naturally because I have done something that my heart is weak. The grass people learned from the villagers that the nobles on the Zhuangzi would come every few days, so they wanted to get a touch of this blessing. It's just that the courtyard here is inaccessible, and the grass people can only take it away in the mountains and forests, trying their luck, but I didn't expect to have good luck today......"

He smiled wryly and glanced at the blood stains on the torn hem of his robe.

King Shin cleared his throat unnaturally, and then clenched his fist at the scholar.

"It's all because Xiao Wang was reckless and didn't know how to do archery, so he accidentally injured Mr., which is really rude. If Mr. is not to blame, please stay here to recuperate, so that Xiao Wang can enjoy the friendship of the landlord. ”

Huo Yanzhi snorted secretly, this kid had a good calculation, he wanted to borrow his place to do favors for himself, and he didn't ask him if he allowed it.

"So, Mr. is a frank little gentleman?"

He turned his face and changed his questioning tone: "If it weren't for the fact that you have no power, no sharp weapons, and a disability, you can still be regarded as a guest here?" My whereabouts are also something that you and other rural villagers can watch at will? ”

The scholar arched his hand and looked calm: "Your Majesty is angry." It is really difficult for the grass people to kneel on this leg, but they are afraid of pulling the wound, delaying treatment, and having to delay for a few more days in your land. Your Majesty hates me and hates me, so why don't you spare the grass people? ”

Huo Yanzhi's original pretended anger was about to come true, and his smile was even more hideous.

"You scholar is so daring!"

The scholar smiled and said: "The grass people are bold because they know that Your Majesty is benevolent and generous, and will not worry about untouchables like me in the dust." Besides, isn't Your Majesty so bold? If it weren't for that, the rural villagers around the grass people wouldn't really be able to guess His Majesty's travel patterns......"

Huo Yanzhi stopped smiling, and flicked his sleeves and went out.

King Xin's eyes flashed, and he continued to follow the path of Corporal Lixian, and asked about the scholar's life experience and the little story with the Hongying girl with a smile.
