Zeng pointed to the wild boar, elk, sika deer and other prey he brought on a cart behind, and said to Gongzi Hongzuo: "Childe, I have prepared a lot of prey for you, please shoot an arrow at these prey, and you can be prey for Childe." ”

"This ......"

Gongzihong's face was quite hesitant.

Zeng nodded into the words: "Childe, without further ado. This winter hunt, the king let the princes start the hunting, with deep intentions! ”

"The one who has the most prey can get the pure Jun sword, but the deep meaning may be that the king intends to test the archery skills of the princes, how can the prince not take this opportunity to make the king favor the prince more, thinking that the position of the crown prince will go further?"

Hearing this, Gongzihong thought for a moment and said slowly: "Zengzi, your kindness, Wu Hongxin has it." ”

"I, Wu Hong, dare not call myself a gentleman, and I dare not say that I am an honest and noble person."

"However, my father set up a hunt this time and ordered my brothers to hunt, how dare Wu Hong deceive my father?"

"Childe ......"

"Needless to say!"

Wu Hong waved his hand, which made Zeng Dian beat his chest and feet, quite annoyed.

Is Gongzihong so pedantic?

Not necessarily.

Qingji this winter hunt and let the princes open on their behalf.

The huge hunting area of Shanglinyuan, but there are only prey such as hares, how can there be no deep meaning?

However, what is unpredictable is whether Qingji wants to see the princes stealing and cheating, or does he want to see the princes be honest with each other?

No one can fathom it.

And what Gongzihong chose was to abide by his heart and not deceive his father.

Three hours passed, and all the princes took the chariot and returned to the camp where Qingji was.

At this time, Qingji had already completed the review of the three armies, sat on the square platform, and had a banquet with the ministers and doctors of Wu State, enjoying the song and dance, and the sound of silk and bamboo was in his ears.

It is called green plum boiled sake.

In ancient times, because of the problem of filtration technology, there were some precipitated impurities, and the wine was boiled for the taste and to remove the impurities.

Boiled wine is hot wine, and there was no distillation technology in ancient times, so it is generally fermented wine with a relatively low degree.

When drinking, people like to scald it with hot water, and at the same time, there are impurities in the cloth filtered wine, so it is also called sifting wine.

Especially in winter, many people like to drink mulled wine......

Nowadays, Wu is rich in products and abundant grains, so Qingji has planned to improve the technology of distilled liquor, so that the market of Wu liquor is very popular.

"Father!"

The princes returned to the camp one by one and handed over the prey to the guards standing aside to count them one by one.

There are many types of prey, including wild rabbits, pigs, wolves, sika deer, elk, and so on.

Almost every son is full of ......

Except for Childe Hong!

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Qingji put his eyes on Gongzihong's body, and said slowly: "Wu Hong, why did you only hit eleven hares in three hours?" ”

"Father's ......"

Gongzihong lowered his head, bowed to Qingji and said: "Please forgive my father, my son's retainer is not good at learning, so there are eleven hares, which can be harvested today." ”

"Hahahaha!"

When Qingji heard this, he smiled and said, "Hong'er, you are very good, the widow did not misunderstand you." ”

"Come on, give the widow's pure Jun sword to Wu Hong!"

"No!"

After receiving the order, the CRRC Mansion ordered Jiao to slip, and immediately held the Chunjun sword and sent it to Gongzihong.

This made Gongzihong feel surprised, and all the sons were dissatisfied.

The ministers and doctors present also had puzzled expressions!

"Father, didn't you say that in this opening hunt, the one who hunted the most prey could be rewarded with the pure Jun Sword?"

Gongzi Fan was very puzzled and said: "My brother has the least hunting gains, why did my father give him the Chunjun Sword?" ”

"What is the reason, wait for yourself to know in your heart."

Qing Ji squinted his eyes and said: "Before the winter hunt began, the widow had already ordered people to empty the hunting ground, leaving only the hares, and now look at the prey you have obtained, how many hares are there?" ”

"And the one who hunts the most hare is Wu Hong, this pure Jun sword, he ...... Well deserved! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present basically understood Qingji's thoughts.

I see!

Qingji intends to take this opportunity to test whether the princes can be honest.

It seems that except for Gongzi Hong, none of the other sons are honest.

"The son is guilty!"

All the princes couldn't help but bow their heads and said with a look of shame.

Qingji waved his hand and said with a smile: "What kind of crime are you?" ”

"The widow did not explain that he was not allowed to take prey from outside the hunting ground."

Obviously, Qingji also did not intend to hold Zhu Gongzi accountable.

Why?

No need!

This test is just a temporary idea of Qingji.

Gongzihong's performance did not disappoint Qingji.

Wu Heng, Wu Fan, Wu Xi and other sons are also playing at a normal level......

Which one is good stubble?

Honesty is certainly a valuable quality.

However, in Qingji's view, integrity should be divided into time, occasion, and object......

For example, conscience.

When the money is gone, you can earn it again.

If you have no conscience, you may earn more!

……

This time the winter hunt, Wu Guojunchen held it in Shanglin Yuan for three full days.

It can be regarded as the joy of the guests and the hosts, so that Qingji can see the martial style of Wu Guo today, and the heroic posture of the children of the nobles......

However, in this year, a very influential figure in Wu passed away.

The Taibao of Wu State, the original Qi Xiangyan baby, died at the end of winter at the age of eighty-three.

Yan Ying is undoubtedly a great figure, and has made great achievements in politics, culture, diplomacy and other fields.

Of course, for Wu Guo, Yan Ying's achievements lie in the cultural aspect.

For most of his life, Yan Ying served as the Duke of Qiling, the Duke of Zhuang, and the Duke of Jing, and served as an auxiliary government for 50 years.

The princes were known for their political foresight, diplomatic skills, and simplicity of style.

In the state of Wu, Yan Ying often went to the palace school to preach and receive karma for the young princes.

From time to time, he went to the Jixia School Palace, opened the altar to give lectures, recruited a lot of disciples, spread his own ideas and doctrines, and cultivated many usable talents for the Wu State.

Qingji was impressed by Yan Ying's outstanding contributions to Wu in terms of culture, so he was nicknamed "Ping", known as "Pingzhong" and "Yan Pingzi".

Yan Ying's son, Yan Yu, was also promoted by Qingji to the county guard of Wu County in recognition of Yan Ying's achievements.

Of course, with Yan Yu's political achievements and qualifications, he is indeed qualified to be the county guard of Wu County.

On the occasion of Yan Ying's funeral, Qing Ji personally went to mourn, and the sons of Wu also took Yan Ying as their enlightenment teacher, and followed to worship and keep a vigil for Yan Ying for three days.

"Woohoo! Master, if you go, my Wu country will lose a good teacher, and the world will lose a great sage! ”

Gongzixi couldn't help but kneel on the floor, wiped his tears, and said heartbrokenly: "I, Wu Xi, can't listen to the master's teachings day and night, how can it not be painful?" It's a pity ......"
