The Red Chamber: Hang Qin Keqing at the start

Chapter 86 [086] The dragon jumps over the gate of heaven, the tiger crouches under the phoenix
Huang Lao smiled with great interest and asked:
"I heard that you shot an arrow at the hemp rope that hangs the bronze bell on the clock tower at a distance of [-] steps yesterday. Is there such a thing?"

Jia Qiang smiled lightly and said, "It's true!"

Huang Lao exclaimed:

"Good arrow skills! All the generals of Ming Dynasty can't shoot as far as [-] steps, let alone hit the hemp rope with one arrow."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Zhang Juzheng next to him was shocked, and Mr. Shoufu, who was always very good at nourishing Qi, stared round his cloudy old eyes, and looked at Jia Qiang in disbelief.

Zhang Juzheng shifted his gaze to Qi Jiguang, and asked appreciatively:

"General Qi, as far as I know, you are the one who shoots the farthest arrows among our generals in Ming Dynasty?"

Qi Jiguang originally wanted to call the other party Lord Shoufu, but suddenly remembered that His Majesty the Emperor and Lord Shoufu were not allowed to reveal their true identities, so he smiled and said, "It is indeed me."

In order to prevent Jia Qiang from becoming suspicious, Qi Jiguang no longer called himself "the last general", but directly called himself "I".

It was only then that Jia Qiang noticed that behind Huang Lao and Zhang Lao, there were two strong men with big arms and round waists.

One of them is Lou Nan who met yesterday, and the other is General Qi who just talked to Mr. Zhang.

Lou Nan said yesterday that he was Qi Jiguang's deputy general, so Jia Qiang had already guessed that General Qi was Qi Jiguang.

Lou Nan cupped his fists at Jia Qiang and saluted, "Young Master Jia, we meet again."

Jia Qiang clasped her fists in return and said, "General Lou, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Lou Nan made an inviting gesture, pointed at Qi Jiguang, and introduced:
"Young Master Jia, let me introduce you, this is General Qi Jiguang Qi."

Jia Qiang bowed her hands and said:
"I have admired your name for a long time, and it is my honor to meet General Qi today!"

Qi Jiguang clasped his fists and returned the salute:
"It is also my honor to meet such a hero as Mr. Jia. I heard Lou Nan tell you about your heroic feat of shooting a hemp rope with an arrow from [-] paces. I am deeply admired and admired.
I am here today to visit Mr. Jia, and I want to invite Mr. Jia to join the Ming army and serve the country. I wonder if Mr. Jia is willing? "

Now that Emperor Wanli and Lord Shoufu are nearby, Qi Jiguang just wanted to take this opportunity to show that if he can successfully persuade a general like Jia Qiang to join the Ming army, it will be considered a meritorious service. Your own official promotion will definitely be of great benefit.

After hearing Qi Jiguang's persuasion, Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng were also very interested, and wanted to hear what answer Jia Qiang would give?
Facing the scorching eyes of everyone, Jia Qiang smiled lightly and said:

"I have admired General Qi's reputation for a long time, and I always remember General Qi's words, "I don't want to be a marquis, but I hope Haibo will be peaceful." I'm used to it, I don't want to be restrained, I don't want to be an official yet, thank you General Qi for your kindness!"

Qi Jiguang sighed softly, and said with regret:

"A hero like you, a talented general, didn't join the Ming army, it's a waste of money, the pearl is dusted!"

Jia Qiang said calmly:
"Although I haven't joined the Ming army for the time being, I am a descendant of China and the descendant of the dragon. If China is in trouble, I would like to commit myself to the country, throw my head and blood for China."

The subtext that Jia Qiang didn't say was that I don't want to be loyal to the decadent feudal rule of Ming Dynasty, but as a descendant of China, I would like to be loyal to China.

Loyalty to the country and disloyalty to the monarch.

I, Jia Qiang, don't want to be the emperor's slave dog, but I want to be the patron saint of China!
"Well said!" Elder Huang clapped his palms and laughed. He obviously didn't realize that there was something in Jia Qiang's words.

Of course, this is not because Mr. Huang is stupid, but because Mr. Huang never imagined that Jia Qiang had the monstrous ambition of changing the dynasty.

Huang Lao sighed:

"Although Qiang'er is indifferent to fame and wealth, she still never forgets her loyalty to the monarch and the country. Even though she is a white man, she takes the rise and fall of the world as her own responsibility. She is really my great Ming's jade pillar that supports the sky and the golden beam!"

Elder Zhang also nodded in approval and smiled:
"Although Qiang'er is young and lacks experience, she is mature and prudent. She is indifferent to fame and fame. It is really rare and precious. If she refines it in the future, she will become a great weapon!"

Huang Lao smiled heartily and said:

"It's not just that it will become a great weapon, Qiang'er will definitely become the most important weapon in the country!"

As soon as these words came out, Mr. Zhang, Qi Jiguang, and Lou Nan were all shocked.

They didn't expect that Huang Lao would compare Jia Qiang to the country's most important weapon!

You know, in Daming, only Chuan Guo Yuxi can be called the most important weapon of the country.

Huang Lao is His Majesty today, how could he put Jia Qiang and Chuan Guo Yuxi in the same important position?

Maybe it's because Huang is old and a little confused?
Only Jia Zhen knew that Jia Qiang was actually Huang Lao, the biological son of His Majesty, so he was naturally qualified to be called the important weapon of the country.

Jia Zhen thought to herself: Your Majesty values ​​Jia Qiang so much, so when the crown prince is appointed in the future, will Jia Qiang have a chance?
When this idea came up in her mind, Jia Zhen herself was startled and excited. If Jia Qiang could really get the position of crown prince and become the new emperor in the future, then the Jia family would be relatives of the emperor. Reappear the former glory and glory!

Over the years, Jia Zhen has been addicted to drinking and sex, and has been idle all day long. In fact, it is also because she is disheartened. Seeing the decline of the Jia family but unable to recover, she has no choice but to break the cans and smash them. She can be happy every day.

But now, Jia Qiang is His Majesty's own son, and he is also a pillar of the country with both civil and military skills. This allows Jia Zhen to see a bright future, and her fighting spirit and hope are rekindled in her heart, which has never been enterprising.

Old Zhang smiled and said:
"Qiang'er is not only superb in archery, but also top-notch in poetry. Last time, I saw Qiang'er's astonishing talent of leaning on a horse. It really opened my eyes and amazed me. Today, Qiang'er may wish to be on the spot again." Write two poems to open everyone's eyes?"

In fact, Mr. Zhang made such a harsh request because he wanted to make things difficult for Jia Qiang, because the last time he bet with Jia Qiang, he was almost scalded by the hot tea. in one breath.

Huang Lao frowned, and cast a sidelong glance at Zhang Lao, with dissatisfaction and displeasure flickering in his eyes.

Huang Lao secretly slandered in his heart:

"This Zhang Juzheng is really small. He still remembers the bad luck he suffered last time. He wanted to take private revenge on Jia Qiang. What a disrespectful old man!"

Qi Jiguang on the side looked at Jia Qiang in amazement, and secretly sweated for Jia Qiang. If he only wrote one poem, it would not be difficult for others, but it would be too difficult for others to compose two poems at once. .

Qi Jiguang himself likes to dance, write, write and compose poems. He knows that writing poems needs to be written with emotion.

But now Jia Qiang needs to write two poems in a row, I'm afraid he may not be able to complete such a demanding task.

However, in full view of everyone, Jia Qiang smiled nonchalantly, and said to Qingwen:

"Qingwen, help me wash and grind my pens."

"Yes!"

Qingwen unfolded a sheet of Xuelang paper, spread it out on the table, and then prepared her pen and ink, standing by her side.

Jia Qiang walked to the table, calmly picked up the pen and dipped it in the ink, writing vividly, each elegant and agile character flowed out from his pen.

Qi Jiguang curiously walked to the side to have a look, his eyes lit up immediately, and he exclaimed:
"Grand Master Jia's handwriting is not lacking in elegance, neatness and elegance, majestic and majestic, like a dragon jumping over the gate of heaven, a tiger crouching on a phoenix, and it is not inferior to those calligraphers from ancient times to the present."

Huang Lao also came up to him to have a look around, nodded repeatedly and said in admiration:
"Qiang'er's calligraphy has the demeanor of the two famous calligraphers, Yan Jin and Liu Gu. In my Ming Dynasty, it is difficult to find a calligrapher who can be compared with Qiang'er."

Mr. Zhang also came over, but found that Jia Qiang was about to finish writing the first poem in this short period of ten breaths.

When Zhang Lao's eyes fell on the first word of Jia Qiang's poem, Jia Qiang had just finished writing the last word.

Mr. Zhang quickly skimmed through the poem, and suddenly exclaimed:

"What a poem to read Nujiao! Qiang'er can not only write masculine poems like steel, but also feminine poems that are as soft as fingers. She can be called a master of both poetry and calligraphy, and her literary talent is second to none!"
