272 The Father and the Son (Three Watches
The prince failed again and again, and the atmosphere in the arena was suddenly a little tense, Xuan Ye knew that the prince's archery skills would not be so unbearable, I am afraid that he was far away in Jiangnan, surrounded by strangers, he was inevitably nervous, and he would definitely fail if he wanted to come to the fifth shot, but then he would inevitably lose face, although he was still young, but after all, he was the prince prince.
"Yinren." Xuan Ye got up with a smile and slowly approached his son, the prince was really embarrassed, his face turned red, the weather in November was so hot that he was sweating profusely, and muttered softly, "Huang Ama." ”
The child is already ashamed to see his father, he doesn't want to hit a hundred shots, but the journey is hard for months, almost no exercise in riding and archery, yesterday only climbed the Ming Taizu Mausoleum through the Ming Imperial Palace, every day with his father non-stop, sleep at night and not good, today can open the big bow and shoot the arrow, has done his best.
"The lower plate should be stable, and the center of gravity of the body should be fixed at one point, don't dangle around." Xuan Ye stood behind his son, gently kicked his foot to correct his standing posture, and then opened his bow and arrows to help him aim at the target together, "Songxian must not hesitate, if you hesitate for a moment in your mind, you will inevitably miss the bull's-eye." ”
Recalling the return from Wutai Mountain in the old year, the road met a tiger, Concubine De and the prince's life was on the verge of death, Xuan Ye shot an arrow to kill the tiger at the last moment, at that moment, he didn't dare to hope at all, but the strong faith and courage at that time obviously contributed to that arrow, and now the prince is stage frightened, without faith and courage, and he will never hit the bull's-eye if he goes on like this.
Xuan Ye didn't hold his son's hand to the last moment, and after he stabilized, he stepped back slightly, and said gently: "Be brave, what are you afraid of, just go through the experience." ”
The prince made up his mind, secretly held his breath, quickly loosened the string between his fingers after aiming at the bull's-eye, and the sharp arrow whistled out, straight into the bull's-eye, and after a moment of silence on the field, there was a burst of applause and cheers, and the prince also laughed happily, Xuan Ye touched his head and said, "If you're tired, go down and rest." ”
"Yes." The prince gasped, Fang Cai's arrow seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and he really didn't want to shoot it again, but he was afraid that he would fail again and again in the future, and he longed to end here, and now Huang Ama let him go down the steps, of course the prince was happy.
"Huang Ama, you look at the ministers."
The prince is returning to the seat with the emperor, and has not yet sat down, the eldest brother came to the field with a bow and arrow, and the Chenda behind him is obviously a little embarrassed, but the newborn calf is ambitious, and the eldest brother's mind has always been simple, where do you know what to look at, and proudly go down the field, the brothers are two years apart, and Yinren is much taller and stronger than Yinren.
The eldest brother is really good at riding and archery, although the homework in the books often makes Xuan Ye laugh, but riding a horse, archery and wrestling competition, this child seems to be born with this piece of material, and he has been running around for months, and the eldest brother has five arrows and four hits, which is much better than the prince, and he has won continuous applause in the field.
Xuan Ye happily praised his son for his ability, but slightly turned his gaze to the Mingzhu people standing under the seat, and seeing that they were frowning and glancing at each other, the emperor couldn't help but sneer on his face. Things in this world are so interesting, they are all scheming, but the people they want to support are honest and simple and have no scheming, at this age, they are not big or small, and they are so ignorant.
The sneer on Xuan Ye's face flickered, just like the thoughts of the people who secretly laughed at Mingzhu at the moment, maybe in a few years, these old foxes will teach the eldest brother all the skills of calculating people, and in a few years they will set up respect for the prince, and in the future, the princes, the prince Baylor and the ministers will kneel and bow twice in front of the prince.
After the eldest brother, the princes, General Baylor and others entered one after another, the adults' abilities were more exciting, the cheers in the field were boiling, and the embarrassment between the prince and the eldest brother gradually faded, and Xuan Ye would not reveal his thoughts in front of people, but just watched the game with everyone with great interest.
At this time, Liang's father-in-law brought someone to change the tea, Xuan Ye got up and stood forward, and suddenly heard the crisp "Huang Ama", looking down, Yinzuo was shouting to himself there, Xuan Ye liked the sixth elder brother, and was busy asking someone to pick him up, Yinzuo jumped up and threw himself under Huang Ama's knees, Xuan Ye picked him up and asked, "This dress was prepared for you by Eniang?" ”
Yinzuo nodded, but pointed outward, and said to himself: "Huang Ama, you let the fourth brother draw the bow, and Yinzuo wants to sit on the fourth brother's foal." ”
Xuan Ye looked in the direction of his son, the fourth elder brother was standing on the sidelines with his Chenda and watched the excitement in the field intently, the fourth elder brother only entered the study this year, and his kung fu had just begun, he was still young, and it was almost impossible to shoot arrows with a bow, but what Yinzuo said he remembered was that he promised his son yesterday.
"Go and bring your fourth brother up." Xuan Ye put down his son and asked him to find Yinzhen, the brothers came back not long after, Yinzhen also remembered what Ama promised him, but Ama didn't dare to say it if he didn't mention it, or Yinzuo was a young and ignorant person, and he just opened his mouth if he wanted anything.
The guard took the emperor's bow, Xuan Ye easily pulled the bowstring in front of his son, and then handed it to Yinzhen, and said solemnly: "The left arm is straight, and the right hand is stretched to the face. ”
There was such a movement on the emperor's side, and the people around him all quieted down to watch, and the fourth elder brother solemnly took his father's bow, and Yinzuo clapped his hands and shouted: "Fourth brother, come on!" He quickly booed his brother to quiet him, took a deep breath and stood on his feet decently.
"Try it." Xuan Ye smiled and stood on the side with his hands in his hands.
Yin Zhen carefully raised the bow, in the end, it was something that his father used, much heavier than what he used to practice, his right hand was nervous when he pulled the string slightly, and he already knew that he would definitely not be able to pull it away, if he lifted it stiffly and clumsily, it would make everyone laugh, and his own knowledge would be very shameless.
Xuan Ye saw the change in his son's eyes, guessing that he had understood his ability, and he was conflicting in his heart. Xuan Ye knew that his son would definitely not be able to pull the bow, but since he wanted to try, he made a promise to each other, even if it was a shameful thing, he wanted to see if his son had the courage to do it, and now Yinzhen's hesitation was also within his expectations.
"Fourth brother hurry up, fourth brother hurry up!" Yinzuo shouted heartlessly on the side, Liang Gonggong hurriedly hugged the sixth elder brother to be quieter, fortunately, Yinzhen was not impatient by his younger brother's noise, and after pursing his lips, he bravely raised the bow and pulled the string with his right hand, but he didn't have enough strength, the bowstring was only slightly opened, and it wasn't even "pulled away".
Xuan Ye thought that his son would give up, but he was so stalemate for a while, obviously the bowstring was getting tighter and tighter, and his hands were purple, but Yinzhen still didn't let go, which made him feel incredible and even shocked, because it was exactly the same thing, and Xuan Ye had done it at his age.
Yinzhen's hand pulling the string hurt so much, his left hand holding the bow and arrow gradually sank, and he was so unconvinced that he was going to give up admitting defeat, suddenly his hands were held, the sinking bow was raised again, and the powerful strength stretched out with his hands, and the tenacious bowstring was finally pulled away, Yinzhen looked up in surprise, and his father was standing behind him.
"At this time next year, Amma wants to see if you can shoot the bull's-eye, otherwise, he will be severely punished." Xuan Ye smiled and spoke in his son's ear, slowly retracted the bowstring, pinched his purple little hand in the palm of his hand and rubbed it, turned around and instructed Liang's father-in-law, "Where is that little foal, bring it to the fourth elder brother." ”
"Emperor Ama, the retainers did not pull the bowstring, and did not dare to ask for a foal." The fourth elder brother was very serious, looking at his father seriously, Xuan Ye looked at him as if he had seen himself, and thought that he should listen to Lan Qi say that this son is exactly the same as his father, but he just said, "Ama rewards you with the courage to try, it's already another matter." Remember, if you can't draw your bow and shoot an arrow right in the bull's-eye at this time next year, Amma will punish you heavily. ”
Yin Zhen was really happy at this time, and hurriedly bent his knees to thank him, and pulled his younger brother, who was already excited and cheering, to see his foal together, Xuan Ye saw his sons leave, and he was in a very good mood, but when he turned around and saw the prince, he sat there quietly, looking at his younger brothers with longing in the distance, and couldn't help but sink his heart.
The prince never came to spoil him like other children, not to mention that he is older now, even when Yinzuo was so young, he was so old that people were worried. It was easy to be more lively with Queen Niu Hulu back then, but after only a few months, he experienced the pain of losing his mother again, Xuan Ye felt sorry for his son, but everything at the moment also made him helpless. He always felt that the future emperor should indeed bear more.
Here the little brothers excitedly ran to see their foal, the emperor rewarded a jujube red pony, obviously sent someone to prepare carefully, even the saddle is fully equipped according to the size of the horse, Yinzhen can still touch the horse's back, Yinzuo is just to the horse's belly, he doesn't know how to be humble, obviously it is his brother's own reward, but he shouts that he wants to ride a horse first.
The third elder brother also came to see the excitement, and when he saw his younger brother messing around, he accused Yinzuo and said: "It's your fourth brother's reward, let him ride first, Yinzuo, don't make noise." ”
"Hmph." Yinzuo pouted and was unhappy, pulling Yinzhen's clothes as if he was coquettish, but Yinzhen hurt him the most, and he didn't care who came first, so he asked his own Chenda to hug his younger brother, Yinzuo immediately smiled, sat on horseback and cheered, and shouted "driving ......"
There is still room for the saddle, and the fourth elder brother was also hugged on horseback, and the third elder brother stood alone under it and couldn't help but look lonely, but he saw the eldest elder brother riding a horse from there, he already had his own horse, and just saw the lively side of the brother, so he went to get his own horse, and asked the third elder brother to hold him in front of him, and said to the younger brothers: "Let's go to a spacious place to run." ”
Yin Zhen looked around and asked, "Why didn't the fifth brother and the prince's brother come?" ”
