Chapter 107 Chapter 110: Spring Hunting ([-])

"Look at the fun?" Li Shimin laughed out loud when he heard the words, "You are the young Yingjie who captured Fu Yun alive, such a good opportunity to show off his skills, will I let you watch the fun?"

As he spoke, he turned his head and shouted to the crowd: "Where is Cheng Fan?"

Chengfan is Li Daozong's character, and Li Daozong hurriedly came out: "The humble minister is here."

Li Shimin asked: "Chengfan, Li Hao used to be your personal guard. You were there when he captured Fu Yun alive. Does he really know how to draw a bow?"

Li Daozong nodded and said: "Return to Your Majesty, I have never seen Li Hao draw a bow."

What he said was very strict, but it was the truth. He really had never seen Li Hao shoot a bow and arrow.

"Oh?" Li Shimin frowned when he heard the words, obviously not very happy, but Li Hao was very happy, haha, you can be lazy.

However, Li Hao was not happy for a second, but Li Daozong suddenly said, "Your Majesty, although I have never seen Li Hao shoot a bow, I know that he is especially good at slingshot, and he is very good at shooting. He also called himself Li Guang with a slingshot. "

Hearing this, Li Hao really wanted to go up and slap Li Daozong on the ears: "Why are you so owed! Why are you so owed! No wonder you were beaten by Yuchi Gong, you deserve it!"

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Hao: "Slingshot Li Guang?"

Li Hao smiled awkwardly: "Your Majesty, don't take it seriously, that's just a humble minister bragging."

Li Shimin automatically filtered his words: "What is a slingshot, let me see."

Li Hao had no choice but to take out the slingshot from his arms and hand it over with both hands.

Li Shimin took it in his hand and couldn't understand what it was at all, but when he discovered the strange material of the slingshot rubber rope, his eyes showed surprise, and he asked, "What is this rope...?"

Li Hao replied helplessly: "Return to Your Majesty, I don't even know."

"You don't know?" Li Shimin was obviously dissatisfied with his answer, thinking that he was perfunctory, "Then where did your slingshot come from?"

Li Hao had an idea: "Returning to Your Majesty, I bought it from a Hu merchant. I thought it was very interesting when I bought it."

"It's really interesting." Li Shimin pulled the rubber rope and asked, "How to use this thing?"

Li Hao stretched out his hand and said, "This minister is willing to show it to His Majesty."

Li Shimin returned the slingshot to him, and he took out a steel ball from the marble bag on his waist, buckled the bullet, pulled it away, aimed it at a distance, let go of his left hand, and with a soft pop, the steel ball flew away.

Li Shimin clapped his hands and praised lightly after watching: "Interesting, indeed interesting."

Li Hao cupped his hands in embarrassment: "It's a shame."

Li Daozong was a little surprised, because Li Hao used fish darts when he shot Zak Gilun in front of the battle last time, but this time he replaced them with steel balls. Obviously, the power of steel balls is far worse than that of fish darts.

Li Shimin laughed, and suddenly said with great interest: "I suddenly have a good idea, I want to have a hunting competition, the candidates for this competition... Li Ji, Hou Junji, Niu Jinda, Li Daozong, you four come forward Come."

The four of them stepped forward at the same time when they heard the words. Li Shimin glanced at them and said slowly: "The four of you, plus Li Hao, will have a hunting competition. The time limit is one hour. Whoever hunts the most prey will win win."

Cheng Yaojin on the side interjected, "Your Majesty, Old Cheng also wants to participate."

Li Shimin glanced at him: "Your iron spear is good, but your archery skills are a mess, that's all. Whoever hunts the least prey will be punished."

Li Hao was startled when he heard the words, and blurted out, "What punishment?"

Li Shimin thought for a while, and said, "Fine a fine of five thousand guan."

Everyone was stunned. Is this targeting Li Hao? Knowing that Li Hao is greedy for money, he set the punishment as a fine.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin paused, and added: "You are the richest poet, if you lose, you will be fined more, [-] guan."

Li Hao almost jumped up when he heard the words, how could this be possible, playing double standards, and the disparity in standards is too big!Blame me for having money?
Everyone was silent, they could see that Li Shimin was targeting Li Hao.

Li Hao wanted to object, but he didn't dare, so he had an idea, cupped his hands and asked, "Your Majesty, rewards and punishments are never divided, if you win, what kind of prize will you have?"

Li Shimin laughed loudly when he heard the words, and stretched out his finger to touch Li Hao: "You, you...you can't suffer at all."

Li Hao could only laugh dryly, but he was slandering in his heart: "Your uncle, is this a slight loss? This is a [-] point loss, okay?"

"It is really necessary to win the lottery." Li Shimin thought for a while, and said: "The winner can make a request to me. As long as the request is not excessive, I will agree."

At first glance, it sounded like a good start. Asking Li Shimin is not an ordinary request. However, Li Hao knew that this was nonsense, because there was a premise, what is not excessive, what is not excessive, then It's not Li Shimin who has the final say.

Li Shimin glanced at them with a smile on his face and asked, "Do you have any objections?"

The four other than Li Hao clasped their hands together and replied: "I have no objection."

Only Li Hao asked weakly: "Your Majesty, can I not participate?"

Li Shimin suddenly became unhappy, and said with a tiger face: "Are you planning to resist the edict?"

"I don't dare." Li Hao hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "It's just, Your Majesty, these four are veterans with outstanding military exploits. They have killed more people than I trampled to death. Let this minister compete with them in hunting ..."

Shi Shi's face became even more ugly, and he interrupted him directly: "What do you mean by saying that I have made things difficult for you?"

Seeing this, Li Hao knew that there was no escape from this matter, so he could only say: "I don't dare, I am willing to compete with the four seniors."

At this time, Wu Wang Li Ke suddenly came out and said: "Father, my son also wants to participate in this competition."

Li Shimin glanced at Li Ke, and the sun was shining on his gloomy face. Li Ke was one of the many princes who made him very satisfied. He once praised Li Ke for "courageously like me", and Li Shimin also loved him very much. He was not allowed to be an official (assumed office). Last year, many ministers went to the shuffle and asked to be an official of the King of Wu. Li Shimin couldn't bear the request of the ministers, so he was allowed to play, but later it was delayed because of the queen's illness. I did not go, so until now, Li Ke has not been an official.

Seeing Li Ke take the initiative to invite Ying, Li Shimin was very happy. Li Ke is very good at arching and horses. He smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's play."

Li Ke secretly rejoiced that he could finally perform well, walked up to Li Hao's side and stood side by side.

Prince Li Chengqian frowned upon seeing this. He knew that both Li Ke and Li Tai were interested in the throne. As the heir to the throne, how could he let them do so? Since Li Ke wanted to perform, he couldn't fall behind, so he He also took the initiative to stand out and said: "Father, my son also wants to compete with all uncles."

Although Li Shimin also loves Li Chengqian, but the way of loving him is different from other princes. Because Li Chengqian is a prince, he has always been strict with Li Chengqian, much stricter than other princes. He suppressed the smile on his face and asked: "You uncles have more blood on their hands than you have ever drank. Do you dare to participate?"

Li Chengqian is not happy, is he looking down on me? He looked at Li Hao and Li Ke, aroused the arrogance in his heart even more, and said loudly: "Li Hao was only eighteen years old and dared to compete with all the uncles, why wouldn't I dare?" !"

Li Hao sneered when he heard the words: "Naive, too naive, I was forced, okay? Forced! Did you not show up just now or dozed off? Didn't you see!"

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian with a very "forceful" look for a while, then nodded and said, "Zoo."

Li Chengqian immediately suppressed his joy and walked into the queue, but instead of standing with Li Ke, he stood beside Hou Junji.

Both Li Chengqian and Li Ke were on the field. Wei Wang Li Tai couldn't help it immediately, and wanted to invite Zuo to participate in the competition. However, he looked down at his round belly and reluctantly retracted the thick legs he had just stepped on. This scene happened to be captured by Li Cheng. Hao saw it in his eyes, Li Hao couldn't hold back, and laughed.

When Li Tai saw him laughing at him, he was extremely angry instantly. If Li Shimin was not here, he would have rushed up to fight Li Hao.

Li Shimin glanced at these seven people, and finally his eyes fell on Li Hao and Li Ke, and said earnestly: "I thought that there were no heroes in the younger generation, but I am very relieved to see you two today. disappointment."

Li Hao and Li Ke cupped their hands at the same time:
"My son must not let my father down."

"My minister will try not to disappoint His Majesty."

Li Shimin saw Li Hao's unwillingness to die, and suddenly wanted to beat him up. This guy didn't train for a few days, and he started to mess up again.

Li Chengqian on the side was upset when he saw this, he was young, he was full of vigor, he was the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he should be the best young generation in the world, but Li Shimin spoke so highly of these two people, and ignored him ,What's the meaning!
Speaking of jealousy, Li Chengqian was even more jealous of Li Hao. Why, because Li Shimin always praised Li Hao in front of the princes, Li Hao actually became someone else's child once.

Not only that, recently, Li Shimin sent Xu Lian to send a plaque to the East Palace. There is a poem on the plaque. That’s right, it is Li Hao’s "Compassion for Farmers". room, and asked him to recite it aloud before each meal.

Li Chengqian is so upset. After all, he is young and energetic. Can he be comfortable if he is asked to recite a poem written by a guy who is one year younger than himself every day? He secretly gritted his teeth and decided that he must beat Li Hao in this hunt today. Steamed buns are fighting for breath.

Li Shimin sent two Jinwu guards to each of the three young men to protect them, and then let them go hunting. The group set off separately, left the school grounds, and entered the forest.

After Li Hao entered the mountain forest, he found that the terrain here is relatively flat and the trees are sparse. It stands to reason that there are fewer prey in this kind of place, but he knows that this is a royal hunting. It drove a lot of prey into the encirclement, of course, except for ferocious animals.
