The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 175 Spring Hunting
In the dining room in the apse of Chengguang Hall, Emperor Wu of Zhou yawned while eating breakfast.

Sun Kui, who was standing aside, saw that Emperor Wu of Zhou was yawning incessantly, with tears streaming from the corners of his eyes, and asked with concern, "Your Majesty, did you not sleep well last night?"

Emperor Wu of Zhou yawned and said, "Well, I had a dream last night."

"Are you having a nightmare?" It wasn't Sun Kui's vigil last night, but his apprentice Sun Doudou's vigil.Seeing that Sun Doudou didn't notice that Emperor Wu of Zhou had a nightmare last night, Sun Kui scolded his apprentice in his heart, and decided to teach him a lesson later.

"Ah..." Emperor Wu of Zhou opened his mouth wide, and yawned without the image of an emperor, "It's not a nightmare, and I don't remember what I did."

"It's all about the servants' fault. If the servants were on duty last night, the servants would have prepared a bowl of soothing soup for you." Sun Kui said with self-blame.

Emperor Wu of Zhou waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with you." After speaking, he yawned several times in a row.

"Your majesty, servants, call the imperial physician."

"However, if you don't sleep in your dream, what kind of imperial physician should you call?" Emperor Wu of Zhou said, "What I need now is sleep, not an imperial physician."

"But, Your Majesty, you are about to go to court soon."

"I don't want to go to court, and I don't want to go to spring hunting anymore." Zhou Wudi lay on the table, closed his eyelids, yawned while eating sesame seed cakes, and said listlessly, "I want to sleep now."

Sun Kui said: "Your Majesty, you should finish your court and sleep on the way to the paddock."

"No, I'm going to sleep now." Emperor Wu of Zhou said shamelessly, "I'm very sleepy now, I just want to sleep and don't want to do other things." Then he yawned again, "Go tell them, say I won’t go to court today, and I won’t go to spring hunting, let them go back.”

Hearing this, Sun Kui said in his heart with deep helplessness, here we come again!The emperor's old problem has happened again!

"Your Majesty, you must go to the morning court, and you must also go to Spring Hunting."

"If I don't go, I just won't go."

"Your Majesty, you keep your promises. You can't keep your words." Sun Kui coaxed patiently, "You said you would hold the Spring Hunt, and now everyone has prepared it. If you don't say it, don't you break your promise? "

"What's wrong with breaking my promise." Emperor Wu of Zhou said impatiently, "I don't want to be this poor emperor either, I don't want to be." As this poor emperor, I can't even sleep late.

Looking at Emperor Wu of Zhou who was acting rascally like a child, Sun Kui said with a helpless face: "Your Majesty, you are about to go to court in a moment, you can play your temper for a while..." Before he finished speaking, his face was covered by Zhou. The sesame seed cake in Emperor Wu's hand hit it.

"You are so courageous that you dare to laugh at me." Emperor Wu of Zhou glared at Sun Kui angrily.

Sun Kui smiled flatteringly at Emperor Wu of Zhou: "How dare a servant girl."

Emperor Wu of Zhou put his feet on the dining table, leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes, and had an expression of "I want to sleep, it's useless if the king of heaven is here".

Sun Kui didn't speak any more, just stood aside quietly and without any panic.

It was not the first time that Emperor Wu of Zhou did this, and Sun Kui was used to him playing tricks from time to time.

In the past, Emperor Wu of Zhou pretended not to go to court, and Sun Kui tried his best to persuade Emperor Wu of Zhou.Unable to persuade, he even brought He Xiang and Liu Taishi to persuade Emperor Wu of Zhou.

He Xiang and Liu Taishi told him not to talk to Emperor Wu of Zhou, just let him go crazy, and when he finished going crazy, he would go to court honestly.

Sun Kui didn't believe it at first, but later found out that it was true.Afterwards, when Emperor Wu of Zhou went mad again, Sun Kui gave some symbolic persuasion, and then obediently stood aside and waited for Emperor Wu of Zhou to go mad.

Emperor Wu of Zhou closed his eyes and squinted for a while, seeing that Sun Kui did not continue to persuade him to go to court, he opened one eye and looked at Sun Kui: "Son, why don't you continue to persuade me?"

Sun Kui was not surprised by Emperor Zhou Wu's reaction.He suppressed a smile and said, "Because this servant knows that your Majesty, it is impossible for you not to go to court."

His mind was seen through, and Emperor Wu of Zhou didn't show any embarrassment or shame on his face.He curled his lips and said, "I will abolish the early dynasty sooner or later."

Sun Kui, who was standing aside, said silently in his heart: Your Majesty, you have said this sentence not long after you became emperor, and you have not dared to abolish the early dynasty until now.

Emperor Wu of Zhou put away his feet that were placed on the dining table, and then picked up a piece of biscuit from the dining table and ate it.

Seeing this, Sun Kui hurried to fetch a cup of hot tea.

Emperor Wu of Zhou ate the biscuits in a few mouthfuls, took the tea cup brought by Sun Kui, and drank it without any image.After drinking the tea, he seemed to be angry, and put the teacup heavily on the dining table.

Seeing Emperor Wu of Zhou playing childish temper, Sun Kui lowered his head and covered his mouth to keep himself from laughing out loud.

Emperor Wu of Zhou snorted coldly, then stood up immediately, put his hands in his sleeves, and shuffled towards the main hall of Chengguang Hall.

"Aren't you going to spring hunting today?" Emperor Wu of Zhou asked suddenly.

Sun Kui followed Emperor Wu of Zhou, and when he heard him ask this question, he didn't understand what he meant, but he still replied obediently: "Today we are indeed going to spring hunting."

Emperor Wu of Zhou spread his hands and said with disbelief, "Since we are going to the spring hunt today, why do we have to go to court today? Why don't we go directly to the paddock?"

The corner of Sun Kui's mouth twitched slightly and said, "Your Majesty, you are the one who wants to go to court early."

"How is it possible, I hate going to court the most?"

Sun Kui was flattering, no, Longpi said: "Because your majesty is a diligent emperor, you never waste your early court."

Emperor Wu of Zhou raised his foot and kicked Sun Kui's ass: "Don't give me the ecstasy soup."

"Your majesty, you have wronged your servant. This servant is telling the truth. Since you ascended the throne, you have been conscientiously going to the court. Except for the former queen, you have not been in the court for a day." Sun Kui said truthfully, "You I was seriously ill several times before and insisted on going to court..."

Emperor Wu of Zhou was impatient to hear what Sun Kui said, and raised his hand to interrupt Sun Kui's words.

"I know that I work hard, so I don't need you to flatter me."

Sun Kui smiled embarrassingly: "The servant is talking too much."

Emperor Zhou Wu suddenly raised his hands and stretched vigorously, "Do you think there will be a good show in this year's spring hunting?"

Sun Kui's heart skipped a beat, and immediately said respectfully: "Your maidservant doesn't know."

Emperor Wu of Zhou turned his head and looked at Sun Kui with a smile: "Maybe there will be a good show in this year's spring hunting." He dragged the word [oh] very long.

Seeing Emperor Wu of Zhou's appearance, Sun Kui knew that his bad taste was coming again.

"Your Majesty, if you say that, does Spring Hunting have an accident?"

"How do I know?" Emperor Wu of Zhou said, smiling inscrutablely, "I hope that something happens, so that spring hunting will become more fun."

Uh... Your Majesty, is it really okay for you to fear that the world will not be chaotic?
"Your Majesty, isn't the paddock in danger?"

"It's interesting only when there's danger." Emperor Wu of Zhou blinked at Sun Kui, "I hope they won't disappoint me." After speaking, he whistled and walked towards the main hall.

Does the emperor know something?
When the ministers in the main hall heard the whistle, they knew that Emperor Wu of Zhou was coming.

Hearing the whistle of the emperor, it seems that the emperor is in a good mood today.

Emperor Wu of Zhou lay directly on the dragon chair, accepting the worship of the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.

"See the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

Emperor Wu of Zhou raised his hand and said, "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After the ministers stood up, they reported the preparations for the spring hunting one by one.

Emperor Wu of Zhou was lying on the dragon chair with his eyes closed, and he didn't know if he listened.

After the ministers finished reporting the matter, Emperor Wu of Zhou opened his eyes, then sat up abruptly, waved his big hand and said, "Let's go, go to spring hunting."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Emperor Wu of Zhou returned to his dormitory and changed into ordinary clothes.Instead of riding a horse, he got into a carriage.

After getting into the carriage, he lay sprawled on the carriage, "I want to sleep, so let them not disturb me."

Sun Kui: "Yes, Your Majesty."

The prince and Dai Wang rode horses and guarded both sides of Emperor Zhou Wu's carriage.

The third prince and the others followed behind on horseback.

Zhao Yao didn't ride a horse, but sat in a carriage with Liang Zhaoyi and the others.Like Emperor Wu of Zhou, he catches up on sleep as soon as he gets in the carriage.

More than an hour later, Emperor Wu of Zhou led his ministers to the royal enclosure in the eastern suburbs.

The paddock has long been filled with guards, and tents have been set up on the paddock.

Before the official start of the spring hunt, drums should be played to encourage people's hearts.

Dai Wang took the initiative to invite Ying to play the drums.

The thick and loud drums resounded throughout the paddock.

Everyone's blood was boiling with excitement, while the animals in the paddock ran away in fright.

After the drumming, Emperor Wu of Zhou encouraged everyone to hunt well.He will reward the winner of this year's spring hunting.

Hearing the word "heavy reward", the people who came to participate in the spring hunting were immediately full of energy.

After changing his clothes, the fourth prince saw that Zhao Yao hadn't come to him for a long time, so he asked Wei Mian, "Has the tenth brother not come yet?"

"Not yet." Wei Mian said, "Slaves go and have a look."

The fourth prince nodded slightly.

When Wei Mian went to find Zhao Yao, he saw Zhao Yao talking to four teenagers from a distance.He took a closer look and found that it was General Song's youngest son.

His Royal Highness actually knew General Song's youngest son?

Why haven't you heard His Majesty the Tenth Highness say it?
Seeing Zhao Yao and Song Jicai chatting and laughing, Wei Mian hesitated for a while, wondering if he should go forward and call Zhao Yao.

After hesitating for a while, Wei Mian still decided not to go forward.Just when he was about to turn around and leave, Zhao Yao looked at him.He had no choice but to come forward.

"I have seen His Majesty Tenth." Wei Mian saluted Zhao Yao first, and then saluted Chu Huan and the others, "I have seen the four young masters."

Song Jicai and the others looked at Zhao Yao suspiciously.Zhao Yao introduced to them: "He is the person next to my fourth brother, Wei Mian."

"Wei Mian, did fourth brother send you to call me?"

"His Highness saw that you hadn't gone to look for him for a long time, so he asked the servants to see if you are ready."

"I'm going to take them to see the fourth brother." Zhao Yao was in contact with Chu Huan and the others, and he didn't intend to hide it from the fourth prince.Besides, I can't hide it if I want to, because we are in the same paddock after all. "Go, I'll take you to see my fourth brother."

A while later, the fourth prince was very surprised to see Zhao Yao bringing General Shen and his four young sons to him.

How could the tenth brother associate with General Shen and their youngest son?

After Zhao Yao introduced Chu Huan and the four princes to the four princes, he introduced the four princes to Chu Huan and the others.

Of course Chu Huan and the others knew the fourth prince, and they had heard their father and brother praise the fourth prince.However, the fourth prince's cold appearance made people afraid to approach him.

"Fourth brother, I'm going to hunt with Chu Huan and the others today, you can go hunt with the father and the others." Before anything happened in the spring hunting, let the fourth brother hunt with the father, and let the fourth brother come out on top again.

The Fourth Prince obviously disapproved of this, his brows frowned, and he was about to say something when he was interrupted by Zhao Yao.

"Fourth brother, don't worry, we will not mess around, and nothing will happen." Zhao Yao raised his hand and swore, "I assure you, we will hunt nearby and will not go far."

Chu Huan and the others nodded repeatedly.

"But……"

"Fourth brother, I will hunt with you tomorrow, and today you can hunt with father and the others." Zhao Yao said, pulling the fourth prince to turn around, and whispered to the fourth prince, "Fourth brother, you Don't let the third brother and the others take the limelight, or the third brother and the others will be proud again."

The fourth prince frowned and did not speak.

Zhao Yao patted the fourth prince's arm and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, I am optimistic about you." After speaking, he took Chu Huan and the four of them away.

The fourth prince frowned and looked at the back of Zhao Yao and the others leaving.

"Your Highness, the Tenth Highness has such a good relationship with General Song's youngest son!" Wei Mian still felt incredible, "The Tenth Highness never said anything about this before."

Just now, Zhao Yao told the fourth prince that he met Chu Huan and the four of them when Xiu Mu went out of the palace to play, and then he did not know each other without fighting.

The Fourth Prince and Wei Mian were surprised when they heard this.

"Your Highness, the Tenth Highness, he..."

Wei Mian didn't finish his sentence, but the Fourth Prince understood what he meant.

"The tenth brother is not that kind of person." The fourth prince said very firmly, "The tenth brother doesn't have that kind of scheming either."

"Then why didn't His Royal Highness tell you about his acquaintance with General Song and their youngest son?"

The fourth prince suddenly laughed and said: "Eight out of ten, I forgot."

Wei Mian: "..."

He couldn't refute His Highness's words.With His Royal Highness' temperament, maybe he really forgot.

"Are you afraid of my fourth brother?"

Just now, Chu Huan and the four of them were brought to meet the fourth brother, and all four of them looked scared and nervous.Now that they have left the fourth brother, they still look like this.

"Who isn't afraid of the Fourth Prince?" Zhang He rubbed his arms and said to Zhao Yao, "The cold face of the Fourth Prince makes people even frightened, isn't it three pieces of wood?"

Shen Sen nodded again and again: "Yes, the fourth prince is so cold that people dare not approach him."

Song Jicai echoed, "The fourth prince is so cold and frightening."

Chu Huan said: "I'm most afraid of this kind of cold person."

"The fourth brother looks cold, but he is actually a very good person." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "The fourth brother treats me very well."

"Boss, even if you say that, we still think the fourth prince is cold and scary."

"Fortunately, boss, you didn't let us hunt with the Fourth Prince."

"Fourth brother has a cold face and a warm heart, you don't have to be so afraid of him." In Zhao Yao's heart, the fourth prince is the best brother in the world.

"My father and elder brother often say that the fourth prince is mature and stable." Chu Huan said, "They also say that the fourth prince is very similar to the emperor."

"My father and elder brother also said that."

"Fourth brother looks like father?" Zhao Yao exclaimed in surprise, "How does fourth brother look like father?" Fourth brother is not like father at all no matter in appearance or temperament.

Chu Huan shook his head and said: "My father and the others didn't say in detail how the fourth prince looks like the emperor, but they always say that the fourth prince is very similar to the emperor."

"Who else does your father say is like the emperor?"

"My father and the others only said that the fourth prince looks like the emperor."

Zhao Yao curled his lips and said, "Fourth brother is not like father." The stinky father is so bad, fourth brother is not like him.

"Boss, where are we going to hunt next?"

"Where did you go hunting last year?" Zhao Yao said, "We are hunting nearby, don't go too far, or the fourth brother will worry about us." If you go too far, you may encounter something bad.

Chu Huan pointed to the north direction: "Boss, we go to the forest over there every year. Few people go to the forest in the north, but there are no big prey."

"Although there are a lot of prey in other places, there are also a lot of people. We can't get them at all."

"Boss, if you want to hunt more prey, go to the forest to the east."

Zhao Yao thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the forest where there are not many people, or go to the forest to the north before you." He didn't want to be the first to hunt ferocious prey like bears or wolves.All he wanted was a few foxes and a few deer.

In the main tent, Emperor Wu of Zhou was lying on the couch with his legs crossed, his hands behind his head, and he was humming a ditty. If you listen carefully, it's not a serious ditty.

Standing beside him, Sun Kui felt strange seeing that he didn't go hunting.

"Your Majesty, aren't you going hunting?"

"Don't go." Emperor Wu of Zhou turned over and lay on his side on the couch with his head resting on his arms, and said in a flat tone, "I want to rest."

"Didn't you just say you were going to go hunting?" Sun Kui reminded, "Your highness and generals are waiting for you."

At this time, Shen Hu shouted outside the account: "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Emperor Wu of Zhou curled his lips, got up and said, "I will play with them."

Sun Kui hurriedly followed out.

Seeing Emperor Wu of Zhou coming out, the crown prince and Shen Hu hurriedly saluted him.

"Your Majesty, let's compete again this year."

Emperor Zhou Wu cast a sideways glance at Shen Hu and said, "Tiger, when did you beat me?"

Shen Hu refused to admit defeat and said: "Maybe I can beat you this year."

"How about this, Tiger, if you win against me, I will reward you with the good wine in the palace."

Hearing this, Shen Hu's eyes immediately shot out, and he said excitedly: "Your Majesty, this is what you said."

"I said it." Zhou Wudi said, looking up and down teasingly at Shen Hu, "Tiger, if you lose, what do you plan to give me?"

Shen Hu said: "But it's up to you."

"Father, I also want to compete with you." Dai Wang suddenly interjected, "I haven't hunted with you for several years, and I want to compare with you."

Emperor Wu of Zhou raised his hand and patted Dai Wang on the shoulder, and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, let me see if you have improved in the past few years."

When Dai Wang heard what Emperor Wu of Zhou said, he smiled very happily: "Father, my son will not be merciful later."

Emperor Wu of Zhou raised his hand and beat the head of the next king, and said with a smile: "I still need your mercy? I will lose to me later, so don't cry."

"Father, my son is not a child, how could he be crying." After Dai Wang finished speaking, he looked at the prince standing beside him, "I haven't hunted with my elder brother for a long time, or else my elder brother will compete with us too. "

The prince had long guessed that the acting king would invite him to compete.He smiled and refused: "I can't hunt, so I won't compete with you."

"'Brother, you are not afraid of losing to me and the emperor, are you?" Dai Wang deliberately used these words to provoke His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"I'm not a match between you and your father." The prince said very calmly, "Second brother, you can compete with your father."

Dai Wang didn't expect the prince to admit that he was not his opponent, which surprised him very much.He thought that with the prince's temperament, if he was provoked by him, he would be fooled into agreeing to compete with him, but he didn't expect the prince to admit that he was inferior to him.

"Brother, are you really not going to compete with us?"

"No, I won't show my ugliness." The prince said with a smile.

At this moment, the Fourth Prince and the Third Prince walked over.

Seeing the fourth princes and the others coming, Dai Wang invited them to participate in the competition.

Of course the Fourth Prince is willing to participate.

Emperor Wu of Zhou took Dai Wang and Shen Hu to the forest to the east.

Although the prince did not participate in the competition, he followed them to the east forest.

At this time, in the forest to the north, Zhao Yao and Chu Huan were stunned.

"Where's the prey?" Zhao Yao and the others entered the northern forest for a while, but they didn't see a single prey. "Didn't you say there are foxes and deer here? Why didn't you see any of them?"

Chu Huan and the others also felt strange.

"Boss, we didn't lie to you. Although there are not many prey in this forest, there are foxes, deer, and hares."

"We also hunted a few wild rabbits in this forest last year."

"We saw several deer in this wood last year, but we didn't hunt any of them."

"There are also foxes, white foxes and brown foxes, but unfortunately we didn't hunt them."

Zhao Yao looked around again. There were no other animals in this forest except birds.

Chu Huan frowned and said, "It's so weird, why isn't there a single prey?"

"That's right, even if you can't see foxes and deer, at least there will be hares, why don't there even be hares."

"There is no one else in this forest except us. Even if there are other people, it is impossible to hunt all the prey in this forest."

Zhao Yao suddenly thought of the advice given by the Eighth Prince before leaving.My heart shuddered, this forest was weird.No, this forest is dangerous.

"Since there is no prey in this forest, let's move to another place." We can't stay in this forest any longer, we have to leave as soon as possible.

Chu Huan asked, "Boss, where should we go?"

"Go to the forest in the south." Zhao Yao said, "Go there now, or we won't be able to hunt a single prey by noon."

Chu Huan and the others didn't notice anything unusual, and followed Zhao Yao out of the forest.

After leaving the northern forest, Zhao Yao looked back, and immediately rode towards the southern forest as if nothing had happened.

When the fourth brother comes back from hunting, remind the fourth brother that there is no prey in the northern forest.With the intelligence of the fourth brother, he should be able to guess that there is an abnormality in the forest to the north.

　Two more chapters in one.

　　I saw an old iron message asking the protagonist why he hasn't grown up yet, when will he go to the fiefdom for infrastructure construction, etc.

　　It's a mid-term thing for the protagonist to go to the fiefdom for infrastructure construction, and at that time the curtain will soon come to an end.

　　The reason why I am still writing about the hero's childhood is, on the one hand, to pave the way for the hero to go to the fiefdom to build infrastructure, and on the other hand, to seize the heir.Although the male lead did not participate in the seizure of the heirloom, he will witness the whole process of the heir apparent.

　　And before the male protagonist goes to the fiefdom, he has to do a lot of things.

　　Finally, ask for a monthly ticket!
