Chapter 423: Returning as scheduled
Patriarch Li has really been tossed these days, and now he directly puts what he thinks on his face, and Zheng Zhi can see it clearly.
Contrary to Patriarch Li, although it has been hard these days, under the leadership of Gu Yao, Zheng Zhi has had a great time. In a good mood, he didn't bother with Patriarch Li, but said with a smile: "If the patriarch is not rare, after I make it clear to Your Majesty, I will make my son the son, okay?" β
Zheng Zhi, who was smiling, was so dazzling that Si Nanfeng looked away.
The Li clan is very old, but he reacted quickly, he said: "If the uncle changes back to the surname Li, the old man and the whole clan will obey the uncle's orders." β
That's a big temptation.
The individual and the family have always been mutually reinforcing. Zheng Zhi is not so much supported by the Zheng family as by Zheng Shizi, but this is not the recognition of the Zheng family. Although the Li family is scattered, after the assessment in the past seven or eight days, there is no shortage of outstanding children. A little guidance and support will definitely be a lot of help.
If Zheng Zhi is shameless, he has to agree. It's a pity that Zheng Zhi put away his smile, didn't look at Patriarch Li, who gave great support, and said, "Patriarch, don't be joking." Zheng's surname is Zheng, and his children and grandchildren are all surnamed Zheng. β
Patriarch Li let out a long sigh and turned to the other two: "Please don't spread Fang Cai's words. β
Si Nanfeng took the initiative to say: "Don't worry, the patriarch, Si knows the severity." β
He said so, and the county man hurriedly said: "The lower official swears to heaven that he will not tell the second person about this matter." β
"So, let's start today's final competition." Zheng Zhi said.
Ten bystanders and thirty-two testers were also selected, and they took turns to enter the grass house and conduct two rounds of very simple shooting. One is to make his own target, and Gu Yao to be an archer; First, Zheng Zhi made the target, and the participants shot arrows. At this moment, Gu Yao's hair was coiled high, and she was dressed in a strong suit, but she was obviously a woman, a young woman with a sweet appearance and temperament.
Everyone who comes in will hear Gu Yao introduce himself and reassure: "Don't be afraid, I've been practicing archery for two years, and my head is okay." β
Who believes! You're in your early twenties, aren't you? Can you start practicing archery without having a high table? Of the thirty-two people, half of them didn't believe it, and some of them forced their composure, and only two people were really calm.
It turns out that Gu Yao's archery skills are really good.
After the thirty-two people competed, all knew in their hearts that only those two people were qualified for the final competition. Li Jinglong's eldest grandson, Li Jingmo, and Li Jinglong's third brother, Li Wensu, the second grandson.
Gu Yao already has a candidate in his heart, but unfortunately, there will be a competition tomorrow.
After writing hard and revising some of the suggestions of the remaining thirty people, Gu Yao withdrew. The rest depends on whether the man will come as he expected.
On the last day, there were only two participants left.
The venue was much empty, but Gu Yao only sold eighty tickets, and there were, and only those who were bystanders in the previous eight days could come in to watch. You may not participate in the event, but tickets will not be delivered.
The price of a single ticket is also very high.
In the end, only more than 40 people managed to make it to the sidelines. Coincidentally, these more than 40 people, more or less, have had a career in the army. Eventually, these people heard and saw a military lesson.
Zheng Zhi combined the defeat of the Qi State soldiers in Yongle in the seventh year, left blank everywhere, and finally asked the two contestants: "The current situation of the Li family is a bit similar to that of the past, proceed from reality, make your choice!" Be the only one, or, give up. β
Li Jingmo glanced at his younger brother with a solemn face, got up calmly, and said, "In charge of the Li family, or rather, after my grandfather, it is really difficult to return to the court." But just like yesterday, fearlessness is the only way to move forward, and it is impossible to give up! It's my choice. β
As everyone watched, Patriarch Li bowed his head frequently, which showed that he was very satisfied with Li Jingmo's answer. For example, back then, no matter how strong the vassal king was, could he defeat the national army? Li Jinglong back then, if he had such a sharp spirit, when would King Yan take off the crown? Without King Yan as the emperor, when will the Li family be roasted by fire? The old man didn't dare to say that.
On the other side, Li Wensu, who was only eighteen years old, said in the expectant eyes of everyone: "I choose and give up."
Li Wensu, who tried his best to compete, and Li Wensu, who had a brother waiting for him to rescue, made the most difficult decision.
Before Li Jingmo had time to rejoice, he heard Li Wensu say: "The brave Duke of Qi Guogong buried 100,000 soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. This is the result of empty courage. In the 60 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Li family has been prosperous for 50 years. Behind the scenery, it is not diligent and diligent, but luck. The Li family needs the efforts of the Heclan, like this time, it is called the test, and it actually gives suggestions on the direction of everyone's efforts and gives a lot of help. Instead, one person gets a chance. β
Li Jingmo still didn't know that he had been defeated, and he was still chattering there: "What Brother Su said is very true. In the future, I will definitely pay attention to this aspect. β
Zheng Zhi didn't say anything or but, he asked: "Ask an extra question, what is the reason why you didn't show fear yesterday?" Jing Mo, let's talk about it first. β
Li Jingmo, who was named, was reluctant, but he had to say: "I knew before that my uncle and wife are both skilled people with bows and horses. Madame will not shoot anyone, and Uncle will definitely be able to dodge all accidental arrows. β
Li Wensu said: "I have confidence in my archery skills, and I will definitely not be able to hurt my uncle; As for being a target, I also have confidence in my uncle and the patriarch, and you won't let us get hurt. If Madame does not have the corresponding archery skills, you will not let her draw the bow. β
After listening to the words of the two, Zheng Zhi first asked the patriarch, "What do you mean?"
"I'll choose forty-nine."
What is Nineteen? Li Jingmo was dazed, and Li Wensu hugged his fists in thanks.
"Li Wensu, the forty-ninth rank of the He clan." Looking at Li Jingmo, Patriarch Li kindly added.
Zheng Zhi asked others, and also asked the opinions of forty bystanders: "What about you?"
We?
It can only be Li Wensu! Again, the onlookers thought in unison.
After listening to everyone's opinions, Zheng Zhi said: "You are all people who have dealings with the Li family, since you have chosen the young Young Master Su, please help him in the future at a convenient time, so as to live up to today's choice."
Patriarch Li stopped the unwilling Li Jingmo and bowed to Zheng Zhi to show his gratitude.
Ten days later, Emperor Xuande received a piece of gossip; Two days later, he received the news that Zheng Zhi had sent someone back. In addition to talking about Xuyi, there are also 10,000 taels of silver tickets and a note.
Li Jiaxing is too naΓ―ve, the income from selling tickets is Gu Yao's private house. It was the valley that really made money for the emperor. After buying it from the government, he resold it and sold the wilderness that was originally unvisited for a very high price.
As for the note, Zheng Zhi told the emperor that he would return as scheduled by March 29.
"Where did it come from? He left at sixteen, two months, can't he come back tomorrow! Emperor Xuande was feeling bored, waiting for Zheng Zhi to come back and tell him about this interesting competition.
The general manager of the East Factory, Mr. Wang, was waiting on the side, and when he heard the words, he said: "The brother of Mrs. Wu'anhou will marry on March 29."
Emperor Xuande immediately became interested: "When Zheng Zhi comes back with the Li family, there will be a lively look!"
