Zhu Qizhen really did what he said, and within a few days, a decree came out in the palace, and three days later, all the sons and daughters of the nobles must go to the royal horse farm to test the bow horse, and there must be no mistakes.

There is also gossip in the palace, This time His Majesty personally invigilated the exam, if the children of any family have an excuse not to go, then it will be the Han General who will personally come to the door to invite someone.

Although I don't know why His Majesty suddenly studied the matter of arching horses for no reason, but the various mansions did not dare to slack off, and they paid great attention to it.

Whatever Your Majesty attaches importance to, for the nobles, that is the most important thing.

In previous years, His Majesty appointed people from the Military Department or the Governor's Office of the Five Armies to study on his behalf, but this time His Majesty personally went out, which shows the difference this time.

If you can come out on top this time, it will be far more cost-effective than any gold belt or silver belt.

Leaving a good impression on His Majesty is of great benefit to the future of his children.

So in the next few days, these noble sons took leave one after another, and practiced archery at home.

Three days later, in the Royal Horse Farm, these noble children gathered here, all of them were full of energy and eager to try.

They have been clothed and fed since childhood, but they are heroes and heroes, and everyone hopes that they will not only inherit the title, but also hope to be favored by the palace and be reused in the future.

There were more than three or four hundred children in this review.

"Your Majesty has arrived."

After a shout, Zhu Qizhen appeared in the stands accompanied by a group of nobles.

One by one, these boys straightened their chests like proud little roosters.

Zhu Qizhen, who was wearing a red gold dragon robe today, stopped and looked at it, looking particularly refreshed, and said to the people behind him: "All the noble sons and daughters below have been favored by their ancestors, and today I personally reviewed them in order to select talents, I hope that they will be like your fathers and ancestors, and become people who can be used by my Ming Dynasty, and also fight for your families." ”

The nobles laughed for a while, and everyone humbly said in their mouths, "My cub is not as good as so-and-so's", but in the bottom of their hearts, they are all more energetic, thinking that their own bow horses are far superior to other families, and they are counting on their children to show their faces fiercely.

Zhu Qizhen laughed: "Okay, the so-called Jiangmen Huzi, Jin Ying, let them challenge the horses, let's prepare first." ”

The nobles behind them tightened their hearts and knew that this first level was coming.

Choosing the right horse is not an easy task.

These noble sons have never been on the battlefield, and they are selected according to the standards of riding horses in the past, tall and mighty, fat and strong, and remarkable.

Well, at first glance, it's a good horse, and it's you.

The Lao Tzu in the stands saw the horse chosen by their turtle grandson, and they were so angry that they almost jumped to their feet.

Didn't I teach you how to choose a horse, and you chose such a virtue?

The horse seems to be tall and mighty, take a closer look, it is the royal horse, full of ceremonial use, is a flower shelf, eats concentrate feed every day, has no strength in the body, on the field, can't run far before you have to stumble.

It's that one, it seems ordinary, and its appearance is not good, but if you take a serious look, this horse has excellent endurance and foot strength, and it is really a good horse, but you are blind, and you can't see the reason at all.

Seeing that these bastards choose almost all of the same royal horses, these old men are either hindered by His Majesty's here, or they will be kicked and kicked now, giving him a long memory.

There is no way, these nobles comforted themselves one by one, anyway, most of them chose the imperial horse, so there was no big difference.

Besides, the test will be riding and shooting, but the distance of 100 steps is not required.

But the strange thing is that I have been waiting for a long time, and there are no targets or anything in the school yard.

At this time, a shadow appeared in the stands.

It is a sea farewell that takes off the palace costume and changes into the original grassland costume.

"Your Majesty."

Haibei took the horsewhip and saluted coolly.

"What I told you, do you remember clearly?"

Zhu Qizhen asked with a smile.

Haibei nodded excitedly, left the stands, and arrived at the school grounds, looking like he was gearing up.

The people in the stands were so shocked that their eyes were about to fall.

The woman, and it seems, is still a Mongol......

No, no, she wouldn't be ......

These people's hearts are galloping.

Zhu Qizhen glanced at Jin Ying, and Jin Ying stepped forward and said aloud the content of today's proofreading.

Today I don't ride a horse like a bow horse, but I race a horse, a total of thirty miles.

In a group of fifty people, as for the standard, after thirty miles, whoever is faster than Haibei wins.

When these noble children saw that they were competing with a girl, their eyes were also round.

Zhu Qizhen didn't care so much, seeing that the preparations were almost complete, he ordered: "Okay, let's start." ”

The command sounded, a drum sounded, and this mighty horse team galloped slowly.

Almost all the horses did not start galloping, after all, it was more than thirty miles, it was an endurance race, and the horsepower should be slowly stored in the early stage, and now was not the time to sprint.

Just after three or four miles, some people were anxious and had begun to speed up.

The leader is Li Yong, the son of Li Xian, the Marquis of Fengcheng.

The above cadres smiled inexplicably.

Li Xian in the stands looked at his son's smug appearance in front, his face was very dark, and he only felt that he was usually beaten less, otherwise he would have lost the face of the Marquis of Fengcheng.

Fool, a thirty-mile journey, this is a great test of horsepower and human physical strength, you have to use your brain, you have to calculate how far to leave how much physical strength, when to sprint.

Running in front at the beginning like now, there is an egg to use, isn't it for the people on the stage to laugh.

Sure enough, after a while, Li Yong and the others in front fell behind, letting the horsewhip crackle, and the war horse under his crotch just snorted, falling farther and farther.

Soon, when he reached ten miles, the disadvantage of the royal horse began to appear, and the speed slowed down one by one, and he fell behind.

The tall god horse is not real.

Slowly, the cavalry began to divide into two sections, and the distance difference between the rear became wider and wider, and more and more people fell behind.

In the last seven or eight miles, someone was already preparing to sprint.

It's just that at this time, people and horses are more than enough and not enough, not only the horse's physical strength has reached the limit, but the people on the horse's back are also spit out of their internal organs.

Some of these noble sons rode their horses to a distance of thirty miles.

At this time, a figure had already passed by.

Haibetsu rode away in the stunned gaze of the crowd.

Although he had run for more than 20 miles, the sea on horseback was still walking on the ground and behaved very easily.

It can be said that there is no suspense about winning this horse race.

After dismounting, there was a stark contrast between Kaibee, who was still in good spirits, and the pale man who followed behind him, who was tired.

In the school grounds, in the stands, the nobles looked ugly.

They were all children, and they actually lost to a woman, a Mongolian woman
