readx;? The Queen Mother's voice fell, and the entire Jianzhang Palace fell silent. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The things that were originally arranged, I didn't know what went wrong, and everything should have been controlled in the palm of my hand, but now it's like someone else is covered with a black cloth in front of me, and I can't see it clearly.

"Since the Queen Mother is sure that Yun Yao is in Yiguo, the slave will send someone to investigate. Jinxiu said, "Yun Yao is extremely smart, she knows that Ning Lan is in the light, she will definitely not show up rashly, Ning Lan can't find her, it's normal." Since this is the case, then let's secretly send someone to investigate, as long as Yun Yao is in Yiguo, then she will definitely not be able to escape from the palm of the Queen Mother's hand. ”

"That's the only way. The Queen Mother nodded slightly, and then seemed to remember something, and asked, "What has the emperor been doing lately?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, the emperor is preparing for the Spring Wai hunt. Jinxiu said, "The slave maid heard that the emperor was bored in the palace and planned to hunt in Yuncang Mountain in the western suburbs of the capital, and he had already sent Jiang Meiren's father, General Jiang, to take charge of this matter, and went to Yuncang Mountain to arrange it first." ”

"Hunting?" When the Queen Mother heard this, she couldn't help frowning, "What is he thinking about?" ”

"The Queen Mother, hunting in Chunwei was a rule that the emperor had when he was there, but after the death of the emperor, the emperor was busy with government affairs and abandoned this custom. Jinxiu couldn't help but remind, "When the emperor was there, the Spring Wai Hunt was held to remind the Chinese people to be fit and good at riding, so as to confront Beidi." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, her brows stretched slightly. Matters related to the first emperor can always touch the heartstrings in the queen mother's heart that have not fluctuated for a long time, and also make her resign herself to the emperor's hunting behavior.

"Speaking of which, the Mourning family also hunted with the first emperor in Yuncang Mountain, but that was more than ten years ago. The Queen Mother smiled, "In this way, you go to the treasury and take out the sword that the first emperor used to send to the mourning family, and send it to the emperor together with the mourning family." ”

"Yes. Jinxiu said, then turned around and went to the treasury, and took out the sword that the emperor gave to the queen mother.

This sword was personally given to the Queen Mother by the first emperor when he was fighting the country. Because the Queen Mother followed the first emperor to fight in the south and the north in the past, suffered a lot, and also made a lot of contributions to the hegemony of the first emperor, so the significance of this sword is naturally extraordinary.

After getting this sword, the Queen Mother had to take it with her wherever she was to express her affection for the first emperor. But since Daning settled down, the first emperor ascended the throne, divided the princes, and the first emperor's harem also appeared one after another young and beautiful women, and this sword was locked in the treasury by the queen mother and never taken out again.

But I didn't expect that after so many years, the Queen Mother actually let this sword see the light of day again.

After taking the sword out of the treasury, Jinxiu followed the Queen Mother and headed towards Changming Palace. At this time, Shen Ze was watching the fold in the Changming Palace, looking at it, but suddenly threw the fold on the ground and lost his temper.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Luo Song heard the movement, came in from the door, saw the song that had been thrown to the ground, ran over to pick it up, walked to Shen Ze's side, and asked.

"See for yourself. Shen Ze said angrily.

Luo Song opened the fold and hurriedly looked over, but saw that it was the courtiers who advised him, saying that Shen Ze's hunting in Yuncang Mountain was an act of labor and money, and now it was a peaceful and prosperous era, and there was no need to carry out such a ritual as hunting, which was a waste of time.

"Your Majesty, this is all nonsense from their pedantic literati. Luo Song persuaded, "You ask General Gu, General Qin and General Jiang, they are sure that hunting is a good thing." ”

"There are more literati in the DPRK who stand and talk without backache, and they will be bullied by the Beidi people again and again. Shen Ze said, "It's not them who fight, and it's not them who die in battle, so they feel that they are wasting money and wasting time." ”

"Then what does the emperor mean......" Luo Song asked, "Is this hunt still possible?"

"Do it, why don't you do it?" Suddenly, the Queen Mother's voice came from the door, with a hint of majesty.

Shen Ze looked towards the door, but saw the Queen Mother walking in from the outside, Jinxiu following behind her, holding a sword in his hand that he had never seen before.

"Why is the queen mother here?" Shen Ze asked, his eyes flashing slightly, but he was complaining in his heart that the two little eunuchs guarding the door didn't know how to report.

"The emperor's decision to hunt in the spring is very good. The rivers and mountains were shot down from horseback by your father's real sword and real gun, and hunting was also a custom that your father had when he was there, reminding the countrymen and courtiers not to waste riding and defend the country. The Queen Mother said, "Knowing that you are about to go hunting, the Mourning family specially brought the sword that your father gave me in the past." ”

Shen Ze was a little surprised, he didn't expect the Queen Mother to support him, he thought that no matter what he did, the Queen Mother was against it, after all, since he ascended the throne, every political opinion he put forward, the Queen Mother was against it.

"What is this sword used for?" asked Shen Ze.

"This sword, it's useless to keep it for the mourning family, the emperor will take it and use it as a lottery in the hunting ceremony. The Queen Mother said, "It can also be regarded as the support of the mourning family for the Spring Wai hunt." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother. Shen Ze asked Luo Song to take the sword from Jinxiu's hand, and then arched his hand towards the Queen Mother, saying.

"Why should you be so polite between you and my mother and son?" The Queen Mother smiled slightly, carefully glanced at Shen Ze's imperial study, and left directly without staying long.

Shen Ze looked at the back of the Queen Mother leaving, a touch of deep thought flashed in his eyes, and then sat on the dragon chair and instructed Luo Song: "You go and ask Jiang Liguo, when will Yuncang Mountain be cleaned up, I can't wait to go hunting." ”

"The minion is going now. Luo Song said, put the sword on the sword rack in the imperial study, and went out to inquire.

Shen Ze looked at the sword, not knowing what the Queen Mother meant by coming over suddenly. In fact, he didn't come up with such a ritual on a whim for hunting at all, but had another purpose, but this purpose couldn't be known to the Queen Mother.

Regardless of the purpose of the Queen Mother's sudden gift of the sword, he can be sure that the Queen Mother should not know his plans yet, because the Chunwei hunt is a temporary idea, and the thoughts in his mind are not even known to Gu Qingming, and it is even more impossible for others to know.

After about a stick of incense, Luo Song came back from outside and told the progress of the matter: "Your Majesty, the slave has already asked, Yuncang Mountain is too big, and General Jiang is now enclosing a part of the hunting and sending people to guard it with heavy troops, so as not to damage the holy driver." ”

"When can I go?" asked Shen Ze.

"At the latest, I will be able to drive to Yuncang Mountain the day after tomorrow. Luo Song said.

"You go and let people prepare, and early the day after tomorrow, get up and drive Yuncang Mountain. Shen Ze commanded, "Remember to call Gu Qingming and a few of them, without them, I would be alone." ”

"The minions obeyed. Luo Song nodded, indicating that he understood.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was time to go to Yuncang Mountain, early in the morning, Shen Ze's Luan drove from the gate of the imperial city, with five hundred accompanying guards, Gu Qingming and Qin Yuankai accompanied them, and all the generals participated.

The group headed towards Yuncang Mountain, but in just half a day, they arrived at the place that General Jiang had arranged in advance. The soldiers began to set up camp and soon set up their tents.

It's already March, and the weather has warmed up, although it's in the mountains, it's much warmer than the cold winter wax moon. The reason why the hunting is chosen in this season is precisely because the weather is warm and cold, and the prey will come out because of the sun, but it will also affect the speed of running because the weather is still very cold.

In fact, what the ministers said in the excerpt is also right, hunting this kind of thing, only two or three days, is indeed very laborious and costly. Royal hunting, although it has the function of reminding the people not to forget to ride the s, but for the general public, these things are still a little far away. Because it is the soldiers who really go to the battlefield.

However, Shen Ze has his own considerations, this spring hunt is just for the future.

"Luo Song, where is Gu Qingming?" After Shen Ze arrived, he walked around, looking for a long time but didn't see Gu Qingming, so he asked.

"The slave just saw General Gu going to the west, and I heard General Jiang say that it was a grassy slope in the back mountain, and it was estimated that General Gu went to feed the horses. Luo Song replied.

"You stay here, I'm going to find him. After Shen Ze finished speaking, he pulled a horse over, turned over, and headed towards the grassy slope of the back mountain.

"Your Majesty, why don't you bring a few more people to escort you-" Luo Song was in a hurry on the side, but Shen Ze had already run away.

According to the direction Luo Song said, he kept walking to the west, and it didn't take long for him to see Gu Qingming sitting on the grassy slope, and his horse was thrown aside at will, allowing it to graze.

"You're at ease, hiding here alone. Shen Ze got off the horse, and like Gu Qingming, he threw the horse aside, walked to Gu Qingming's side, and sat down casually.

"Isn't the emperor the same, he doesn't stay in the camp, what are you doing here?" Gu Qingming glanced at Shen Ze and asked.

"Why do you think I'm holding this hunt?" Shen Ze didn't answer Gu Qingming's question, but asked. In fact, he wanted to tell Gu Qingming about things, and now that there is no one around, it is a good opportunity.

"Wechen doesn't know. Gu Qingming said, "It's probably because the emperor is bored, so he wants to come out for fun." ”

"Do you think I would do such a thankless job?" Shen Ze shook his head and smiled lightly, pointed to the slope in front of him, and asked, "Gu Qingjia, you are a master of training and using soldiers, in your opinion, how about this place for military training?"

Gu Qingming looked in the direction of Shen Ze's finger, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but admire: "Compared to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, this place is much better." The place is secluded, the location is spacious enough, and there are many natural barriers to train. But the only drawback is that it is not easy to transfer troops, and the army needs to travel a long way from here to the West City Gate. ”

"What if you don't get to the West City Gate?" Shen Ze asked again, "After all, the East City Gate is closer to the Imperial City, isn't it?"

"Imperial City?" Gu Qingming listened to Shen Ze's words, sensitively grasped the key words, and there seemed to be a thought flashing in his mind, which made people suddenly enlightened.

So, this is the real purpose of Shen Ze's hunt?

"It seems that the Gu Qing family already knows what I want to do. Shen Ze said, "What do you think of my idea?"
