The next day, the general took eight royal sons to the northern army. These originally pampered royal children were all lightly armed, and they didn't even have an entourage, all of them were one person, one burden, and one sword. At the junction in the suburbs, they spoke a few words to their parents, and then immediately led their horses back to the general.

The general looked over one by one, nodding his head while looking, judging from his figure, these children often practice martial arts on weekdays, and in terms of temperament, none of them have that kind of commanding temperament, at least on the surface. The general is very satisfied, but this is the person His Majesty promised, presumably His Majesty thinks that the person who can enter the Northern Army will not be too bad.

"Get on the horse and go. "These children of the royal family, who yesterday were still enjoying the life of hundreds of handmaidens and thousands of servants at home, under the order of the great general, mounted their horses as fast as they could, turned their horses' heads, and rode their horses to the north.

The general took a few of his own soldiers and these eight royal children who had not yet passed the assessment all the way to the north, intending to test these royal children, so he ran out for two hundred miles without stopping.

It wasn't until I saw a wild shop that I ordered to rest.

Look at these pampered young people, all panting like oxen, sweating, trembling with teacups in both hands, it is clear that they have never ridden horses for such long distances and long periods of time, and this is certainly the first time.

"The time for the two incense sticks to rest, the peeing that should pee, the water that should be drunk, and the time to continue to set off. The general scooped up a scoop of water to feed his horse.

The eight royal children looked at each other, and each encouraged each other with their eyes, which must be part of the assessment, but they must perform well, otherwise they will be embarrassed to be deposed and go home.

There is a highest place in the palace, which is 99 zhang high, and is in the shape of a round tower with a thickness at the bottom and a thin tower at the top. This is the observation deck, and standing on the highest point can overlook the entire Bianjing City.

The emperor, accompanied by guards and eunuchs, ascended the tower.

Every time you climb the tower, it is a workout for the emperor.

But after climbing to the top of the tower, bathing in the spring breeze at the top of the tower, taking a few deep breaths, the feeling is wonderful.

Li Rongsheng had advised the emperor a long time ago, hoping that His Majesty would exercise more, and that this tower would be climbed twice a month at least, and it would have many benefits for the body.

He did it with kindness, and he also deeply felt the benefits.

At this moment, the emperor stood on the top of the tower, looking at the bustling Bianjing City, looking at the pedestrians on Tianhe Avenue, and the four cities in the southeast, northwest and northwest were crowded. It's as if everything below has become a picture that has no sound but can move.

Looking further away, you can see the peaks of Wudang Mountain looming in the clouds and mist, and the highest peak, Yuzhu Peak, is unique, and even the people in Wudang Town can see a little.

In the distance, you can't see it, only a vast expanse of clouds and sky, and you can't tell whether the land is still white clouds.

Looking at it, the world is very big, and the Great Song Dynasty is not small, but compared with the whole world, it is not big, and it is even said that there are still very large places in the Western Ocean that have not been reached...

If you want to be poor, go to the next level.

The ancients did not deceive me.

The emperor often climbs the tower to look at the four directions, and then has a sigh in his heart, and then thinks of the common people, and then has the world in his heart. Only when the vision is big enough can everything we do be more far-sighted than the frog at the bottom of the well from the starting point.

This observation deck was named Taitai by the first emperor, which means to climb this building, to always remember the word Taiping, not to forget the suffering of the people, and to do our best to do our best for the word Taiping.

After staying on the Taitai platform for an hour, the emperor suddenly had a little headache, frowned and said, "Did Imperial Doctor Lin bring the medicine?"

"Your Majesty, bring it. The confidant eunuch hurriedly took out the medicine and handed it over.

The emperor took the medicine, and the headache suddenly improved a lot, and said: "I still exercise less, and I will climb the platform once in the next five days, since twice in half a month, the headache will be much less, and the headache three times in half a month will definitely be better." It's really thanks to Imperial Physician Lin, what Imperial Physician Lin has been doing lately, I haven't seen him for several days. ”

The confidant eunuch said: "Back to Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Lin has been in the Imperial Hospital for the past few days, and when I went to the Imperial Hospital to get medicine the day before yesterday, I saw Imperial Physician Lin, and Imperial Physician Lin said that he was developing a new medicine, saying that it has a miraculous effect on the treatment of bruises, and it seems that it was learned by Westerners." ”

The emperor smiled and said: "Imperial Physician Lin values Westerners very much, and he often tells me that some things in Westerners are still quite powerful, although they can't be compared with our Great Song Dynasty, but they also have his little use." In fact, I know that Imperial Physician Lin can say this, which means that Westerners have done better than our Great Song Dynasty in some places, but Imperial Physician Lin is afraid that I will feel uncomfortable listening to it, so I said this. In fact, I won't be unhappy because of this, as long as Imperial Doctor Lin can benefit us in the Great Song Dynasty, it doesn't matter whether it's a Westerner or a Nanyang. I am not the kind of stingy person, besides, only by recognizing the gap can I know where I am lacking and work hard. ”

"Your Majesty. The confidant eunuch said from the bottom of his heart.

When he went downstairs, the emperor felt a pain in his head again, but soon this pain passed, and the emperor felt that it was still the medicine of Imperial Doctor Lin. The headache brought about by the mother's womb, with the conditioning of Imperial Doctor Lin and his own exercise, is now getting better and better, and it no longer hurts as much as before, it hurts very badly and for a long time, and now most of them hurt for a while or even at once, and it is already much better.

As soon as I arrived at the imperial study, a eunuch came to report, and the imperial history asked to see him.

"Xuan. ”

After a while, the imperial historian Zheng Zhiyan walked in and bowed, and the emperor raised his hand to signal for exemption: "What is the matter, my lord?"

Doctor Yushi took out a few pages from his arms and handed them over with both hands: "Your Majesty, please see, this is a letter from someone who has recently submitted to Yushi, and the letter is written by a small jailer in Shudiba Middle City. ”

The emperor frowned, took the letter and unfolded it: "Is it a secret fold?"

"No, the matter of secret music must be confidential, Your Majesty has told you thousands of times, how dare the ministers not take it to heart. This is a clear letter, which was handed over by the jailer himself to the imperial history passing by Bashu Road. After reading the letter, Goshi clearly told the jailer that he would be severely punished once it was determined that it was a rumor, but the jailer said that even if it was a rumor, I would accept the punishment without complaint. The Imperial Historian paused and then continued: "In this way, the Imperial Historian sent this letter to me, and the minister also thought about it for a long time after reading it, and decided to let His Majesty take a look." ”
