The prince does not fight for the heir

Chapter 101 Amazing Reward
The weighing of the prey was proceeding in an orderly manner. Listening to the person in charge of the counting kept reporting and adding up the calculations, the four princes each occupied a corner, staring at their prey and data with concern.

People around are discussing in private, now no one is sure whether the sixth prince will win.

At this time, Emperor Yuan'an also learned about the performance of the four princes during the hunting process in detail from his subordinates. He looked at Yun Zuo and then at Yun Qi, smiled and said nothing.

Princess Zhiling wondered secretly: "Does fifth brother really need that reward? He actually hired two brothers from the Fu family to help out. Those two are both over 17 years old, right? They're a bit of a bully!"

Fu Xuechen asked curiously: "His Royal Highness said that the two brothers of the Fu family have already served in the Imperial Army? Why are they willing to be driven by His Royal Highness?"

Princess Zhiling thought for a while and said: "Yes! I remembered the positions of the two brothers. They seem to be the guards in front of the palace. They should have just been selected. Not long ago, the Fu family is the mother's family of the concubine De. After all, they are all Fifth Brother’s cousins, maybe Empress Defei asked them to protect Fifth Brother?”

Fu Xuechen pondered. After studying in Mingde Hall for two months, she dare not say that she knew the temperament of the princes very well, but she still had a general impression. Although she was not familiar with the fifth prince, judging from her usual performance, the fifth prince She is a little bit conceited, she just likes to put on airs like a prince, not a temperament for fighting for the limelight.

What's more, the sixth prince was born with supernatural powers, and he was excellent in riding and shooting. This is something everyone knows. Therefore, when Emperor Yuan'an proposed that the four young princes should compete in hunting and reward the winners, many people had already acquiesced. This reward will belong to the Sixth Prince.

Under such circumstances, even the fourth prince did his best and did not say that he would try his best to win, but the fifth prince did his best!Rolled up to the point where the lunch time was drastically cut, and he even hired a powerful helper to keep hunting until the last second, but what was he doing for it?Just for the thousand taels of gold rewarded by Emperor Yuan'an?

Fu Xuechen glanced at Emperor Yuan'an suspiciously, always feeling that Concubine De had obtained some relevant information from him in advance, so that she dispatched her natal nephew to urge and help his son compete for the winning prize?

It's a pity that I didn't catch any golden carp after working hard all afternoon, otherwise I could use the golden carp as an excuse to go to the First Prince's camp to find out what's going on in the future, maybe I can know what's going on in advance.

At this time, the results of the fourth prince and the seventh prince have been released, the score of the fourth prince group is 8000 two hundred catties, and the score of the seventh prince group is [-] catties.

After waiting for a while, the results of the five princes group and the six princes group that everyone is most concerned about finally came out one after another!The total score of the five princes group was 420 catties, and the total score of the six princes group was 640 catties. Among them, the five princes group was late for three breaths, and a total of 210 catties of three prey was deducted.

so close!The Sixth Prince finally won!But it was a narrow victory. If the fifth prince hadn't been late, if there was one more small prey like a hare, the sixth prince would lose.

At that time, even if the sixth prince had various reasons: Fu Yuchen paddled, stopped at noon to collectively barbecue prey and treat Fu's sisters to eat, etc., they would not be able to cover up the fact that he failed.

"I announce—the winner of the competition: the whole team of the six princes!"

Following Emperor Yuan'an's loud announcement, all the six princes and his party cheered, and the soldiers who followed them were all honored and excited. If they won, the six princes would reward them more or less.

Fu Xuechen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, only to see that Yun Zuo was not as happy and excited as usual, but looked at the fifth prince with a complicated expression, and the smile of the fifth prince was a bit bitter, his fists were clenched tightly, and his veins were about to burst out Now, the Fu family brothers beside him all had a dark face, only Li Qiang, the accompanying reader, looked pure and regretful.

"Fifth brother, let me go!" Yun Zuo cupped his fists at Yun Qi.

Yun Qi collected himself, forced a smile: "No, I'm not as good as you in riding and archery."

"Yun Zuo!" Emperor Yuan'an greeted at this time.

Yun Zuo hurriedly stepped forward: "My son is here!"

"You have won!" Emperor Yuan'an asked with a smile, "How do you feel?"

Yoon Zuo raised his head, with no joy on his face, on the contrary, he was very serious, and said sincerely: "On the surface, I have won the fifth brother, but in fact, I have lost! Although the competition is for fun in leisure time, but the goal is set, Unless the minister has no idea in advance, anyone who wants to win must be prepared and not be careless."

"It's my son who insisted on his superior skills and made the mistake of being arrogant. It has been said since ancient times that arrogant soldiers are bound to lose. My son's victory today is all a fluke. My son should learn from the fifth brother. After the military order is issued, all actions Everyone should work hard to achieve the goal, try their best, and never give up until the goal is reached!"

"Hahahaha!" Emperor Yuan'an laughed loudly: "Well said! You can correct your mistakes if you know your mistakes. There is nothing good about it. Knowing how to reflect on your own shortcomings from past experience is your greatest advantage."

"Okay! Whether it's a fluke or not, you've won. If you win with your strength, you win." Emperor Yuan'an paused a little, and raised his voice to give a reward: "As a reward, there will be 1000 taels of gold later, which will be allocated to Under your name, how to distribute rewards to subordinates is up to you. But there is one..."

Emperor Yuan'an looked away from Yun Zuo, and glanced at the faces of the three teenagers behind him, Fu Yuchen, Zhang Chuyang, and Guan Enming, and continued with a slight smile: "...you have to take out at least half of the thousand taels of gold, As your start-up capital, starting today, you can form your own young military guards!"

Military guard?Yoon Zuo looked at Emperor Yuan'an in shock.

Emperor Yuan'an's voice did not stop: "I allow you, according to your own ideas, to recruit teenagers who are over ten years old and under sixteen to be your personal guards. The number of people is tentatively set at 1000, and they will be named Qing Guard! The chief general will be appointed by you yourself, but you can set up another military adviser and staff officer, and two deputy officers, and all rosters will be reported to the Ministry of War.

"Besides, you choose the location of Qingwei through consultation with the Ministry of War. Qingwei's monthly salary is based on that of the Beijing camp. [-]% of it will be paid, and the treasury will allocate it until you become a king and become a vassal."

The audience was completely silent!No one expected that Emperor Yuan'an would suddenly release such a big thunderbolt that stunned many people!A young prince who is underage, has received such a great honor, that he can have his own private army before he becomes an adult and opens a mansion!Or the kind that the state helps to raise!

Although this private army is very immature and recruits all underage children, it's a bit of a child's play, but children will grow up!They have grown up with the sixth prince since they were young, and in the future, won't they be loyal to the sixth prince alone?These people all have families and relatives behind them. Doesn't it mean that this is equivalent to Emperor Yuan'an directly giving him more than a thousand supporters?
