Emperor of the Red Chamber

Chapter 11 Well said
Yuan Qingbai did not ask Yuan Qingsang to snatch back a pair of deer ears.

He didn't move harshly, and he still didn't even show anger.

As if Yuan Qingzhe and Yuan Qingsang did not exist, he continued to race against time and devoted himself wholeheartedly to his hunting. Moreover, when he shot an animal, he no longer cut off the animal's ears and allowed Yuan Qingsang to take them.

After a while, two more emperors and grandsons came to snatch the animal ears that Yuan Qingbai had hunted.

These two grandsons are Yuan Qingdong and Yuan Qingmei, both of whom are grandsons of the imperial party.

The princes attach great importance to this Qiu Xiang Competition, it can be said that they are bound to win, and the fifth prince is very resourceful.

The fifth prince knew about Yuan Qingbai's training in the Beijing camp, and knew that Yuan Qingbai's bow and horse strength had improved by leaps and bounds, and he had a good chance of winning the championship.

He then devised a trick and specially arranged for Yuan Qingdong and Yuan Qingmei, two grandsons of the imperial party, to snatch the animal ears of Yuan Qingbai's prey during the competition.

Yuan Qingdong and Yuan Qingmei were trying to steal Yuan Qingbai's prey animal ears again, which made Yuan Qingsang depressed and angry.

Yuan Qingzhe didn't care very much. His main purpose was to prevent Yuan Qingbai from being raised by Emperor Jing'an.

Yuan Qingbai also pretended that Yuan Qingdong and Yuan Qingmei did not exist. He continued to devote himself to his hunting and stopped cutting off the ears of animals.

What is ridiculous is that Yuan Qingsang, Yuan Qingdong, and Yuan Qingmei had a fierce fight to snatch the animal ears that Yuan Qingbai was hunting.

Half an hour passed quickly.

In just half an hour, Yuan Qingbai shot a total of twenty-seven animals.

Not only because of his strong physical strength, his riding and shooting skills were also improved, but also because the area of ​​the city field was not very large, but there were many animals surrounding the city field.

Also because he only shot the animal and did not cut off the animal's ear, there was no need to waste time in this regard.

If he wants to cut off the animal's ears and fight for the animal's ears with Yuan Qingsang, Yuan Qingdong, and Yuan Qingmei, then the number of animals he shoots in half an hour will be greatly reduced.

Twenty-seven animals were shot, but Yuan Qingbai only had a pair of deer ears in his bag.

These deer ears were cut off from the first deer he hunted today, and the other ears were all robbed.

However, he is quite confident that his performance this time will satisfy Emperor Jing'an...

You need to prioritize things!
The main point of this Qiuyi competition is not who has the most animal ears in the bag, but to gain Emperor Jing'an's satisfaction.

……

……

After half an hour of competition, all the emperors and grandsons returned to Kancheng with their luggage and gathered in front of Emperor Jing'an.

The luggage of the emperors and grandchildren was carefully checked and counted on the spot.

The person who harvested the most animal ears was Yuan Qingbiao. He had seventeen pairs of animal ears in his luggage.

Yuan Qingbiao is sixteen years old this year and has reached adulthood. He has strong physical fitness and is good at bow and horse hunting. He has also been intensively trained in hunting in Nanyuan for four months. No prince will interfere with him in this competition.

It is reasonable that he can harvest so many animal ears.

The one who harvested the fewest animal ears was Yuan Qingbai, with only one pair of deer ears.

Due to competition among each other, none of Yuan Qingsang, Yuan Qingdong, and Yuan Qingmei had more than fifteen pairs of animal ears, while Yuan Qingzhe only had three pairs of animal ears. Regarding such a result, the third prince was angry in his heart but did not show it on his face, while the ninth prince directly showed his anger on his face.

Just now, when they were watching the competition on the city field, Emperor Jing'an, the Third Prince, and the Ninth Prince all saw something...

Emperor Jing'an deliberately asked Yuan Qingbai: "Qingbai, why did you only get a pair of animal ears?"

Yuan Qingbai said calmly: "To be honest with the emperor's grandfather, my grandson shot a total of twenty-seven animals during this hunting."

"Because he was robbed by four brothers, Sun Tzu was unwilling to fight against them. Therefore, except for the ears of the first animal he shot, the ears of the other twenty-six animals were all robbed by his brothers. go."

Emperor Jing'an looked at the emperor's grandsons and asked with a sullen face: "Which four people robbed him of his animal ears? They all took a step forward."

Yuan Qingzhe, Yuan Qingsang, Yuan Qingdong, and Yuan Qingmei were all nervous and hesitant. However, facing the pressure from the Holy Emperor and knowing that the matter could not be hidden, they all stood up one after another.

Emperor Jing'an asked in a deep voice: "Why did you rob Qing Bai's animal ears?"

Yuan Qingzhe, Yuan Qingsang, and Yuan Qingmei were all so frightened that they fell silent.

Yuan Qingdong mustered up the courage to speak: "My grandson knows that the emperor's grandfather once said that hunting is like fighting, and you can use strategies. My grandson's fight for someone else's animal ears today is a strategy."

"A general who knows how to use strategies is a general who can win battles. A general who cannot use strategies is nothing more than a reckless man, no matter how high his personal martial arts skills are."

These words were given to Yuan Qingdong by the Seventh Prince.

In the past, the princes also competed in the Autumn Festival, and there was also a case of robbing animal ears. At that time, the seventh prince was judged by Emperor Jing'an to win the championship and received a heavy reward, but the seventh prince mainly relied on robbing.

It was at that time that Emperor Jing'an said that hunting is like fighting with tactics.

Emperor Jing'an said to Yuan Qingbai: "In this competition, the number of animal ears you harvested ranked last. Do you have anything to say?"

Yuan Qingbai was neither impatient nor angry or depressed, but responded calmly and politely:

"Huihuang Grandfather, since it is a hunting competition, the competition is naturally about the number of hunts. In this regard, today my grandson shot twenty-seven wild beasts, ranking first, and far more than the second place."

The Seventh Prince immediately became anxious: "What are you talking about! The Holy One clearly said that the animal ears must be cut off to count. Naturally, whoever harvests the most animal ears wins. Don't you even take your imperial grandfather's words to heart?" "

Well, in terms of the number of animal ears, his son Yuan Qingbiao ranks first.

Yuan Qingbai still calmly and respectfully said to Emperor Jing'an:
"If today's hunting ground is a battlefield, and if those who come to snatch Sun Tzu's animal ears are enemies, Sun Tzu can kill them! In this way, Sun Tzu will eventually harvest many animal ears."

"But those who snatched Sun Tzu's beast ears today are all clan brothers. How could Sun Tzu be so cruel to them?"

"My grandson participated in the Qiu Yuan Competition today. Although he is determined to win the competition, he feels that the more important thing is to please his imperial grandfather."

"The "Twenty-Four Filial Piety" contains the words 'Bann Yi Xicai', but my grandson failed to say 'Bai Yi Xicai' to the emperor's grandfather to make him smile."

"Today my grandson tried his best to participate in the hunt, to make the imperial grandfather feel that my grandson's bow and horse skills are not bad, and not to embarrass the imperial grandfather in front of the Mongolian princes, princes and ministers. This is my grandson's greatest achievement today."

"And if my grandson fights with several clan brothers because of the beast ears, and even leads to serious consequences, the imperial grandfather will definitely be angry and sad, and his grandson will be ashamed, and he will have no choice but to die to apologize."

Well said!

At this moment, the third prince and the ninth prince all admired in their hearts.

Look at what these words say, intelligence, calmness, filial piety, family affection, tolerance...these are all the character qualities that Emperor Jing'an liked!
