Chapter 601: Autumn Headhunting
Looking at his father's heroic appearance on the hunting ground, several princes were quite touched in their hearts. For them, their father is their father, a king, and what they most wanted to be when they first learned about the world as children. It's just that with the passage of time and growth, all this has changed.
The emperor stopped in front of the silver armor, said a few words to boost morale, then looked at King Chen, who was particularly abrupt in the armor, and said with a smile: "Third child, you will be a magistrate today, but you must be impartial and not favoritism, otherwise I will not spare you!" ”
"Father, rest assured, the son will definitely judge impartially! Otherwise, there are a number of prey that everyone fights back, and the retainers can't talk nonsense with their eyes open! It's not that stupid! King Chen said.
The emperor laughed a few times, raised his whip, and rushed to the forest first. Behind him, the imperial guards followed, not daring to neglect for a moment.
With the emperor taking the lead, King Yong raised his whip and rushed to the forest. King Jing and King Yu followed behind King Yong, King Jing was full of interest, but King Yu was slow and reluctant.
Several princes rushed into the forest, and the ministers also entered the forest one after another according to their official positions. Because of the father-son relationship and the people of the Zhenguo Mansion, Zhou Qingfeng, who is from the third grade, did not follow the official position, but followed his father closely.
This has been the case in previous years, and this year there is naturally no one to criticize anything. The Duke of Zhenguo took the lead after several princes and before the ministers, followed by his son Zhou Qingfeng, followed by Prime Minister Qin Yu and Taishi Zhao Kang, the Shen family still avoided and did not participate in this autumn hunt.
Entering the forest, the father and son of the Zhou family glanced at each other, and then chased an elk in parallel and went to the depths of the forest.
Zhou Shuo, who came up later, followed up with two retinues to catch up with King Yong, and followed King Yong on the grounds of protecting King Yong. King Yong did not doubt that he had him, and he greeted Zhou Shuo, chased a goat, and went to the other side. Thinking that he had hunted wild meat, he personally roasted it and presented it to his father at the night banquet.
King Jing and King Yu scattered, King Jing went to chase a white eagle, and King Yu found a quiet tree to rest, and had no intention of hunting.
Outside the forest, King Chen, who was sitting on the horse, stretched his waist, looked up at the sky, and said, "It's just the beginning, there is still half a day's work, and this king is working like this, it's too tiring." ”
Zhuo Jiu cleverly took a folding wooden chair and got off the horse, placed it under the horse for King Chen, and said, "Your Highness, rest quickly." ”
King Chen glanced at it and said with a smile: "It's still your intimacy!" This king takes you out, it's much better than bringing a woman out! ”
King Chen completely ignored the presence of the courtiers who had not yet entered the forest, and sat lazily on the chair. Wei Dongqi walked slowly past King Chen, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is really enjoying it!" ”
"It would be better if there was a beautiful woman beating her legs......" King Chen said lazily.
Most of the remaining people, except for Wei Dongqi, are among the eldest brother's contacts. They are the people of the big brother, and it is good to give them a courage to act.
In a short time, the surrounding officials had already left one after another. Outside the empty forest, there were only King Chen who was leaning on a chair and Zhuo Jiu beside him, as well as the guards five feet behind him.
King Chen stretched lazily and was bored. complained to Zhuo Jiu a few words, "Why don't you bring this king someone who can lie down" and something like that, so he could only settle down, put on a comfortable position, and fell asleep on the chair.
Time flies in the woods, like a blink of an eye, but in fact, an hour has passed. Li Zhonggui persuaded him twice, just let the emperor have a little fun, but don't be tired of the dragon body. But the emperor is not yet happy, and he has no intention of going back. Seeing a fat hare passing through the woods, he chased after it with great interest.
Seeing this, the father and son of the Zhou family, who were hiding behind a big tree in the distance, measured the surrounding situation, and felt that there was indeed no one else except for the emperor's entourage, so they rushed straight into the woods from behind and went to the side where the emperor was chasing.
Although this white rabbit is fat, it is quite flexible, and the emperor chased it into the forest, but it was seized by it, and its body flashed and hidden. In this moment, the emperor has gained a lot, and the elk in excellent condition has been caught alive. At this time, he was slipped around by a little rabbit, and he was naturally angry in his heart, how could he let it go? For a while, I was competitive and competitive, so I searched carefully.
Li Zhonggui and a few guards saw that the emperor was so interested, and he was just a harmless little rabbit, so they did not dissuade him, but searched carefully with the emperor. Everyone was afraid that the rabbit would let it run away again, so they didn't dare to come out, and listened carefully to the movement in the forest and meadow.
"Are things all arranged?" Suddenly, in the forest not far away, a low voice sounded.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be surprised.
The emperor heard this voice a little familiar, and hurriedly raised his hand to stop the guards who were about to draw their swords, so that they should not panic. The guards did not dare to move, so they could only continue to listen to the emperor's orders quietly.
"Father, rest assured, everything is ready." It turned out to be Zhou Qingfeng's voice.
Li Zhonggui obviously also heard the voice of the Zhou family's father and son, and glanced at the emperor in surprise.
continued to listen, and heard Zhou Yan say: "When you turn around, just let King Yong catch the traitor in bed." After this incident was completed, the ironclad evidence was conclusive, and I didn't believe that the emperor could still protect King Chen. ”
"Yes", Zhou Qingfeng laughed in a low voice, "It is true that the emperor is partial to King Chen, but King Chen is helpless!" If His Majesty sees King Chen in the palace and under his nose, he dares to have adultery with his sister-in-law, and he will definitely not be spared. As long as King Chen is convicted, King Yong's chance will come. ”
"Hehe......" Zhou Yan said in a low voice, "Okay, let's coax the children to play!" Otherwise, he has opened up to us, if we still don't help, won't he complain? ”
The father and son looked at each other and smiled, and their eyes glanced at the emperor's side. Of course, I don't want to see anything, it's just a knee-jerk reaction. Zhou Qingshan suddenly shouted: "Rabbit! ”
Zhou Yan smiled "hehe", and then rode his horse to follow.
Here, when the emperor heard this, his eyes were gloomy. didn't have the heart to chase the rabbit anymore, but glanced at Li Zhonggui and ordered in a low voice: "Tell me to go down, don't spread the matter." ”
Li Zhonggui replied in a low voice, "Yes".
The emperor rode away, and Li Zhonggui turned around and said to the guards: "Your Majesty has made the mouths of the adults stricter. ”
"Yes." The guards answered. Li Zhonggui's voice was not high, and the voices of the guards were naturally not high.
The emperor was disturbed by the matter of the Zhou family's father and son, and he didn't have any hunting thoughts, so he went around the forest again, and then returned to the woods first.
King Chen saw that the emperor came out of the forest first, but he didn't intend to hide his laziness, but waited for the emperor to approach, so he hurriedly got up and saluted: "Father." ”
The emperor smiled and said, "You are at ease." ”
"What did my father hunt?" King Chen saw the eagles, rabbits, pheasants, elk, etc. carried by the guards behind him, and said with a smile: "Father has gained a lot!" ”
The emperor shook his head and said, "Old, I'm not interested." I thought about hunting a tiger and coming back, but I didn't have the chance to meet it, so I didn't cling to it. Fortunately, I don't compare with you, otherwise I wouldn't have become the one with the fewest prey? What a shame! ”
"If my father also participates in the competition, they must have only brought one or two little birds back, and they are still not my father's opponents!" King Chen said with a smile.
The emperor pointed at him and said with a smile: "You, you are too bad at making me happy, and you can't say good things." ”
"Hehe...... King Chen smiled, "What Erchen said is a good thing." It means that the brothers and officials all respect their fathers. ”
The emperor nodded, and he didn't have the heart to talk about it, so he smiled and said, "You are here to bask in the sun, and I will go to Luan Yu to rest." ”
"The son respectfully sends his father to the emperor......" King Chen said.
After the emperor entered Luanyu, King Chen leaned on the chair again. With his legs stretched straight, he almost lay down on the grass. After more than an hour, the sun gradually sunk, and several princes and ministers came out of the forest one after another.
Seeing that everyone came out, the magistrate of King Chen came in handy. Wandering around the pile of silver armor full of prey, he carefully examined everyone's prey. In fact, it's just a formality. The person who has the most prey is naturally the king of Yong.
Long before it was time to return, the ministers had already let their entourage spy on the prey of several princes and several important ministers, and naturally they did not dare to let their prey exceed these people, let alone shoot any big beasts. There is also a comparison between several important ministers. Among the princes, the same is naturally the case.
Among the important ministers, there may be someone who wants to press someone to come out, but among the three princes, this will definitely not be the case. King Jing and King Yu will definitely have fewer prey than King Yong. If he also went into the forest to hunt this time, then except for the emperor, everyone's prey would definitely not dare to surpass him. Even the eldest brother will not be strong in this matter without knowing the measure.
"Big brother, yes! This wolf is a beautiful hunt! A sword pierces the chamber! King Chen smiled.
In fact, the wolves on Mengshan Mountain are kept in cages on weekdays, and they will not be allowed to go to the forest at ease, otherwise they will not eat those little guys in the forest? Moreover, the people in charge of the poultry prison were also afraid that the wild beasts such as wolves and tigers in the field were too fierce and would hurt people, so they naturally could not take this risk. So the wolves in the forest are actually not very vicious. As long as you have the guts, plus there are many people besieging you, it is not difficult to hunt it.
"Hmph......" King Yong snorted coldly and said, "You don't have to fool me, the wolves in the forest have been trapped without wolf nature, and they are just looking good when they come back." ”
"That's also big brother, you have the ability!" King Jing smiled, "Don't tell the eldest brother, when I was in the forest, I also saw a wolf, but I didn't dare to hunt, I hid far away!" ”
"Hehe......" flattered King Jing in front of his ministers, and King Yong was still quite useful. He laughed and said no more.
"Big brother, there is this wolf, you must be the one who wins the hunt today!" King Chen smiled, "Okay, after receiving the reward from my father, you can invite us to eat and drink when you go back!" ”
Hearing King Chen's words, King Yong no longer looked at each other with a cold face, but responded with great interest: "Okay, when this king gets the reward, I must invite my younger brothers to have a good time!" ”
"That's it, I'll report to my father! Big brother, don't be a debtor! King Chen smiled.
In fact, it's just a polite remark, there are often such polite words between brothers, where would you think that King Yong is still calculating here?
King Chen went to report the results of today's hunt to the emperor, and the emperor said some words of approval, and then rushed back to the old Beishan Villa by Luanyu. At the other side of the garden, dinner was ready, so I sent the masters back to enjoy it......
