The East Garden is located in the southeast of the imperial city, covering an area of 1,000 hectares, in addition to the courtyard and terrace for people to rest, there are also the inner lake excavated by hand, the juju court, the hundred gardens, the fruit forest, etc., it is the first choice for the nobles of the dynasty to go out and play, and shoot the willows.

Early in the morning, the East Garden was guarded by the forbidden army of the capital, prohibiting irrelevant people from entering, and the palace attendants, palace maids, imperial chefs, laborers, etc. began to prepare for the work of taking over the car from last night, and the entire East Garden looked clean and refreshing, fresh and pleasant.

Soon, civil and military officials, Guozi prisoners, and relatives of the emperor arrived one after another, and after the identity verification of the forbidden army, they came to the bow field in Dongyuan.

The Dongyuan Juju Field is the size of two modern football fields, and there is a high platform built on the side of the court as a stand, which is in the shape of a staircase, and the top floor naturally belongs to His Majesty the Emperor, and the seats are set up by the emperor's relatives and civil and military officials according to their ranks. Large stables are built on both sides of the course to house the horses of the participants.

Gao Jie, Ji Longfeng and Wukong, under the guidance of Wei Liangqing's brothers and sisters, led the horse to Dongyuan. Along the way, I met many officials and children, and greeted the Wei brothers and sisters politely, it seemed that everyone knew their identities, and more people focused their attention on Gao Jie and the three people, to be exact, it should be the three BMW horses brought by Gao Jie and others.

When passing through the guards of the forbidden army, Wei Liangqing was about to explain the identities of Gao Jie and the others, but suddenly heard someone say in a deep voice: "Okay, let them go!"

Gao Jie and the others looked sideways, only to see a middle-aged general in black helmet and black armor slowly riding his horse, with a white face and black beard, a thin body, but capable and powerful. The person who came was none other than Luo Sigong's only son, Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Nancheng Terracotta Division.

Wei Liangqing's brother and sister hurriedly greeted him, Wei Liangqing smiled, hugged his fists at Luo Yangxing and said, "I've seen Brother Luo, it's your duty to be a guard today?"

Luo Yangxing nodded expressionlessly, turned over and dismounted.

Wei Liangyue grabbed the reins of Luo's raised horse, looked up and smiled: "Brother Luo, although you are quite majestic, you don't have to pretend to be very serious!"

Looking at Wei Liangyue's innocent and lovely, peach-like face, Luo Yang's cold face couldn't hold back, he reached out and rubbed her hair, and scolded with a smile: "You naughty girl, I'm on duty, do you want to be as crazy as you?!"

Wei Liangyue rolled her eyes at Luo Yangxing, straightened her messed hair, then stuck out her tongue and grimaced: "Where am I naughty? I don't know how well-behaved I am all day long, just you always talk nonsense!"

Luo Yangxing shook his head speechlessly, ignored her anymore, walked straight to Gao Jie, and said with a smile: "Meet again!" and then added softly: "Little junior brother!"

Gao Jie was stunned when he heard this, and then he smiled and saluted: "The general still remembers Xiaomin, it's really panicked!"

Seeing this, Luo Yangxing laughed and scolded in his heart, but on the surface, he said seriously: "I don't remember you, but your three horses are really unforgettable!" After speaking, he looked at Gao Jie's speechless appearance, secretly amused, turned around and got on the horse again, and said to Wei Liangqing: "Wei Dazhuang, it seems that you are also coming to the competition, first I wish you the best and earn some face for my brother!"

Wei Liangqing was full of confidence, and laughed and said: "Thank you Jiyan, wait until we finish the game and then find the eldest brother to gather to celebrate, and then we will rest when we get drunk!"

Luo Yangxing rode his horse while waving his hand behind his back, signaling that he understood, and continued to inspect the guards in other places.

Wei Liangqing and the others passed through the guards of the forbidden army, and walked towards the bow field while admiring the red flowers and willows in the East Garden.

After arriving at the bow field, after handing over their mounts to the handymen of the stables according to the rules, Wei Liangqing and his sister took Gao Jie to the waiting area next to the stands, where benches had already been arranged, and many of the contestants had already taken their seats first.

"Yo! Wei Dazhuang is really here, yes, a bit of a man!" Sun Qianguang, who arrived first, greeted them with some surprise.

Wei Liangqing said expressionlessly: "It's just a bow competition, it's a ball! Even if I want to go to Shanhaiguan to fight gold, I won't frown a little!"

Liu Xuan sneered and said substantially: "I'm afraid that some people will say it well, when you really see Houjin's iron horse, don't be scared to pee your pants!"

Wei Liangqing was furious when he heard this, and was about to refute, but Gao Jie behind him said lightly: "What do you do when you say these useless things, first win the bow and then talk about something else!"

Wei Liangyue waved her small fist and said loudly: "That's it, who is a good man, really a good man, see the real chapter in the arena!"

Ye Guyan smiled evilly and said, "Anyway, a good man is really a good man, it won't be you!"

Wei Liangyue was so angry that she picked up the horsewhip and was about to beat someone, but Sun Qianguang hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, turned his head and scolded Ye Guyan and said, "Ye Fatty, you are sick, how can you talk to Sister Yue'er?!"

Ye Guyan realized that this Wei Liangyue was the object that Sun Qianguang had always loved, and hurriedly apologized: "I said that I was bald for a while, can't I apologize?"

Sun Qianguang hugged his fists at Wei Liangyue, and said with a smile: "Yue'er, don't be like him, and make amends for your brother too!"

Wei Liangyue snorted, ignored him, and sat down from a distance. Wei Liangqing made a mistake, and stared at Ye Guyan fiercely: "See you on the field later!" After speaking, he led Gao Jie and the others towards the place where his sister was sitting.

Looking at the backs of Wei Liangqing and his party, Sun Qianguang always felt a little uneasy for some reason. And Liu Xuanze, Ye Guyan and others had already forgotten what had just happened, and a few people joked and joked, but they didn't take Wei Liangqing and the four of them seriously at all.

Zhao Yilang, who had been silent, stood up, walked to Sun Qianguang's side, and said softly: "Could it be that Brother Qianguang also feels different?"

Sun Qianguang looked at Zhao Yilang, nodded slightly, and said: "This Wei Da Zhuangping has seen me, it won't be such an arrogant appearance, Yilang, do you think something is wrong?"

Zhao Yilang thought for a moment and said with a smile: "It's just a little strange, but with those three country boys who just came to the capital, how much wind and waves can be stirred?

I'm worried about it!"

Sun Qianguang thought about it, glanced at Wei Liangyue again, and sat back in his place with Zhao Yilang.

Since Gao Jie saw Sun Qianguang yesterday, he felt that he was not the same as Liu Xuanze and other gentlemen, but he had been busy preparing to bow and sharpen his gun in battle, so he didn't bother to ask about his background, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Wei, what is the origin of that Sun Qianguang?"

When Wei Liangqing heard this, he said with a calm face: "He is the eldest grandson of Emperor Sun Chengzong!"

When Gao Jie heard this, he nodded suddenly, this Sun Chengzong he knew, a native of Gaoyang (now Hebei) in Baoding, Beizhili, with the word Zhizhi rope and the name Kaiyang, he had a strong interest in military affairs when he was young. When teaching at the border, "the cane and sword traveled under the plug, from the flying fox (Hebei Laiyuan North Flying Fox Pass) and the rejection of horses to Baideng (east of Datong, Shanxi)." And from the old road of Gangan (Datong, Shanxi), Qingbo (Qinghe, Hebei) to the south, to meet its heroes, and the generals and old soldiers, Zhou Xing border fortress, visit the key points, and untie the horse, wine and singing. It is used to know the feelings and inform the side of the matter", which can be described as a civil and military and famous.

In the thirty-second year of Wanli, Sun Chengzong was awarded the Hanlin Academy for editing. Last year, that is, in the first year of the Apocalypse, he served as a Japanese official with Zuo Shuzi, entered the Shaozhan affair, and became the official teacher of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

At the beginning of this year, Shenyang and Liaoyang fell into the hands of Houjin one after another, and Sun Chengzong was appointed by Emperor Tianqi as a scholar of the Ministry of War and a scholar of Dongge University because he was proficient in the art of war and extraordinary martial arts.

After he took office, he pointed out that "there are too many soldiers but no training, and there is no nuclear salary for too much." He bluntly said that the army lacks regular training and that the material management of soldiers' salaries is chaotic; "civilian officials are recruited and trained by generals; civilian officials are assigned to the generals when they are in battle; they are appointed by civilian officials when they are in battle; they are armed with military forces and civilian officials are appointed to the borders, and civilian officials are appointed to the shogunate." They believe that the army management method of "using civilian forces to control military forces" that has always been practiced is inappropriate; and "using the border to manage and appease the army, while the Japanese ask the war to defend the court," and pointed out that "the military will be in the middle of the imperial government" is inappropriate, that is, the border generals are too restricted and cannot command the battle freely.

Although Emperor Tianqi was young and playful, under the guidance of Wei Zhongxian, he also adopted a positive attitude towards Sun Chengzong's superiority.

Therefore, Sun Chengzong's advocacy of "taking the power of the generals today." Choosing one of Shen Xiong who has the main strategy, and giving it the thrift of the Yue, can be set up from the bias below, and do not let the scribes use small views to touch the tomb", as well as to Fu Liaoxi, sympathize with the Liao people, Jian Jingjun, etc., all of which have been approved by Ming Xizong.

Therefore, Sun Chengzong personally arrived at Shanhaiguan to inspect, carefully inspected Shanhaiguan and the Balipu New Town advocated by the king of Liaoxi Jinglu in Jin, and went to inspect the strategic topography of Zhongqiansuo, a piece of stone and loess ridge, and denied Wang Zaijin's proposition of "rejecting slaves and taking prisoners, blocking the pass and guarding the pass", and expressed support for the opinion of Yuan Chonghuan, the former military commander of Ningqian, to guard Ningyuan.

When Sun Chengzong returned to Beijing, he clearly expounded to Xizong his strategic plan of holding Ningyuan and using the defenders of Juehua Island as horns and echoing each other, and formally put forward the strategic policy of "defending the Liao land with the Liao people and raising the Liao people with the Liao land", and suggested that Wang Zaijin be relieved of his post as the secretary of the military department and the economic strategy of Liaodong. Xizong accepted Sun Chengzong's advice and transferred Wang Zaijin to the post of secretary of the Nanjing Military Department. Since then, the discussion of building a city in Bali has come to an end.

Sun Chengzong attached great importance to and loved his eldest grandson Sun Qianguang, and when he went to Shanhaiguan, he also took him with him for training. Sun Qianguang is not very old, but he is familiar with military books, and has cultivated the Sun family's ancestral Sun heavy sword to the fourth level, which is actually the best among the children of today's nobles, and Zhao Yilang, the grandson of Zhao Nanxing, the secretary of the ministry, has the reputation of "the pride of the capital".

Although Sun Chengzong did not belong to the Donglin Party, he was also familiar with the way of Confucius and Mencius, and was a little close to Liu Yijing, the first assistant, and Ye Xianggao, the second assistant, so Sun Chengzong had a good time with Liu Xuanze, a young man.

Although Wei Zhongxian admired Sun Chengzong's Wen Tao Wu strategy very much, and often took the initiative to show goodwill, Sun Chengzong also had the same stinky frame of the literati of that dynasty, and he didn't look down on the illiterate Wei Zhongxian, the new favorite eunuch of the saint, and he did not shy away from his overtures and kept his distance, and the relationship between the two families was naturally not much better.

After understanding the mystery, Gao Jie glanced at Sun Qianguang from a distance, and secretly thought that if he was really as good as rumored, it was worth befriending.

Just thinking about it, he heard the sound of drums and drums in unison, and Wei Liangqing shouted excitedly: "The saint is here!"
