Chapter 727: Hunting for Monarchs and Ministers
Seeing Li Zhi put away Li Qinzai's letterhead, Empress Wu's face became more and more ugly.
"Your Majesty, the spring is still cold, Your Majesty is careful that your body is cold, why don't you get warmer in a few days before leaving the palace?" Empress Wu persuaded softly.
Li Zhi said with a smile: "The weather is good after the beginning of spring this year, how can there be any steep cold, I have known Jing Chu for a few years, this is the first time he has taken the initiative to invite me to hunt, if I don't agree, wouldn't it be a disappointment?" ”
"I'll leave the palace tomorrow, by the way, there are a few hunting dogs in the palace, and they have a very strong temper, so I just took them with me to search for prey for me and Jing Chu."
Seeing that Li Zhi had made up his mind, Empress Wu couldn't persuade him anymore, so he had to laugh forcibly, but his hands in his sleeves trembled slightly, and his eyes gradually became cold as frost at this moment.
…………
Ganjingzhuang.
Li Qinzai put on a hunting suit, stood in front of the huge bronze mirror and looked left and right, posing in various heroic and handsome poses.
The princess of the fallen kingdom of the Japanese kingdom, the current backyard steward, the big girl Tsunoye Zanliang, stood silently beside Li Qinzai, looking at Li Qinzai expressionlessly in front of the bronze mirror.
"How? Is this owner handsome? Heroic or not? Is your little liver fluttering? Li Qinzai asked, staring at himself in the bronze mirror.
Knowing that he was not asking about the bronze mirror, but about her, he lowered his head and said, "Yes, the master is very handsome." ”
Li Qinzai pointed at her: "For the first time, the people of our two countries have reached a consensus, yes, I also think I am very handsome." ”
Corno Zanliang's drooping eyelids were raised, and he was about to roll his eyes, Li Qinzai, who was looking in the mirror, seemed to have a heart, and said without looking back: "If you dare to roll your eyes, you will break your legs, and make you the first disabled princess of the Japanese Kingdom." ”
Zanliang immediately hung his head obediently, and the corners of his mouth were deflated.
Today is by no means an auspicious day for the zodiac, but she was sent by her wife to serve Li Qinzai to dress, in the past, she could be guarded by her wife very much, and usually did not arrange to serve the male host.
Li Qinzai wore a hunting suit for the first time, and after wearing it, he found that Datang's hunting suit was really good-looking.
The hunting suit is a short shirt system, with a layer of leather armor on the outside to protect the chest and back, and then a leather wrist and leather knees, and a few small metal buckles on the back leather armor, which are specially used to fix the quiver, and a belt inlaid with copper nails and jade pieces is tied around the waist.
"It is indeed heroic and extraordinary, if the beasts on the mountain are acquainted, it is best to take the initiative to kill them when they see such a heroic figure hunting them, so as to save me a lot of effort and ......"
Li Qinzai straightened his neckline, and suddenly said, "Why are you here to serve me and dress today?" What about Madame? ”
Tsuno Zanliang lowered his head and said: "Madame is lying in the backyard, Madame has been in poor spirits recently, she is frequently sleepy, and she sleeps a lot more than before. ”
Li Qinzai didn't think deeply, nodded and said: "Spring is sleepy and autumn is lacking, a natural phenomenon, after a while, the weather will be hot, and you will probably have energy." ”
"Tell Madame, wait for your husband to triumph today, and shoot her a few Wang Ba pot soup to make up for it."
Zanliang suddenly began to doubt his level of Guanzhong, and couldn't help but be shocked: "Shoot...... Shoot the king eight? ”
"Oh, it's a turtle, the kind that swims in the water."
Still confused, Zanra said in confusion: "Swim in the water...... Can you too? ”
"Hou Yi shoots the sun, and Yuanmen shoots halberds...... For men, everything in the world can be shot, and Wang Ba is just one of them. ”
…………
At the entrance of Ganjingzhuang Village, the horseshoe comes from the east, and the dust is flying.
Li Qinzai, dressed in a hunting suit, stood at the entrance of the village, followed by more than 100 parts, all dressed in hunting clothes and armor.
Li Zhi led nearly a thousand Yulin guards to arrive, and before they dismounted, Li Qinzai and his subordinates bowed and saluted.
Li Zhi was obviously in a very good mood today, and he dismounted and laughed: "It's rare that Jing Chu invited me to hunt, I left the palace before dawn today, and I can't wait!" ”
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "Your Majesty is also honored to be here, the spring is just right recently, and all the beasts are moving together, which is a good season to hunt." ”
Li Zhi raised his eyes and swept the mountains and forests around Ganjingzhuang, and said with a smile: "Yes, I also have this Yaxing, why don't we have a game of monarchs and ministers today to see who shoots more prey, how about it?" ”
Li Qinzai arched his hand and said: "The minister is willing to attach the tail." ”
Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "Okay, get on the horse!" Where Jing Chu went to hunt today, I will listen to you. ”
Li Qin got on his horse neatly and said, "There is nothing to hunt near Ganjingzhuang, why don't you take Your Majesty to a little farther away?" ”
Li Zhiyun agreed, and a group of more than 1,000 people beat their horses one after another, and galloped towards the north of Ganjingzhuang, and everyone's figures were hidden in the dust.
An hour later, the crowd came outside a village in Weinan County.
Outside the village there is a very dense mountain forest, but outside the mountain forest is a plain open area, where hares can be faintly seen jumping, deer foraging, and the brook murmuring by the forest, and the birds singing and fragrant.
Li Zhi looked at it and sighed with emotion: "It's full of spring and the scenery is very good. ”
Li Qinzai pointed to the mountains and forests not far away, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there must be a lot of prey in that mountain forest, why don't you settle here?" ”
Li Zhi sighed: "Such a wonderful scenery, I can't bear to kill here......"
"Your Majesty, hunting in spring and autumn every year is because if there are many wild beasts, they will eat and destroy crops, although it is not advisable to kill, but if it is for the livelihood of the people, it is still okay to hunt appropriately."
Li Zhi nodded: "Yes, according to Jingchu, I will hunt in this mountain forest today, and all the harvest will be given to the people in the local Zhuangzi." ”
Li Qinzai praised: "Your Majesty is benevolent, and the people are fortunate. ”
It's still a long way from the mountains and forests, and you have to pass through the village in front of you.
The Yulin guards opened the way in front, Li Zhi and Li Qinzai rode side by side in the back, and the Li family had more than 100 parts behind the palace.
As soon as the group entered the village, Li Zhi felt that something was wrong, grabbed the reins with one hand, slowed down the speed of the horse, and looked left and right.
Li Qinzai said puzzledly: "What does Your Majesty look at?" ”
Li Zhi frowned and said: "It's strange, why do you only see old people, women and children in this Zhuangzi, but you don't see young people?" ”
Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Your Majesty's enshrinement of Mount Tai next year is for the grand event of the whole world, and all the young and strong people in Guanzhong have been requisitioned by the government to build palaces and pave roads for Your Majesty." The minister's Ganjingzhuang was also requisitioned more than 100 people. ”
Li Zhi's face froze, and he still didn't say anything, but his expression was a little unnatural.
Everyone rode on horseback and continued to walk, after passing through the village, they came to the flat land outside the village, the flat land is all fertile land, and the ridges clearly cut the land into pieces, which is very neat, which is very suitable for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Li Zhi rode on his horse, looked at the fertile fields on both sides of the road, and couldn't help but show a pleasing smile.
After walking for a while, Li Zhi's smiling expression suddenly became stunned, and then he reluctantly grabbed the reins, and the horse under him immediately stopped, and the accompanying guards in front and behind also stopped when they saw Li Zhi stopping the horse.
"That's not right! As soon as I remembered, now that the spring planting time had passed, why was the land still empty and no one had planted crops? Li Zhi's face turned pale.
