Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 693 Overjoyed

  In the warm pavilion.

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't understand, a **** was sent by Fang Jifan to gamble with others, isn't this going to die?

   Did this **** offend Fang Jifan and kill someone with a knife?

   It seems... this reason is very good.

  It was already noon, Xiao Jing said: "Your Majesty, is it time to eat?"

  Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand, sighed, and said, "Hey, how can I eat at this time, forget it."

  The anxiety on Emperor Hongzhi's face became even stronger. Fang Jifan, this guy, shouldn't have such a bad character.

   On such an important occasion, he actually borrowed a knife to kill someone for his own self-interest.

   This is a gamble involving the land of Hexi and the mutual market.

  Although, even if they win, the Tatars may not obediently hand over the land of Hexi, but at least morally, Daming's back is straight. As for how to attack in the future, it is another matter.

  But once you lose, you will be laughed at and generous.

  Emperor Hongzhi had to pay attention to the impact of this matter, he looked restless.

  Thinking to himself, Fang Jifan was not such a disregard for the overall situation.

  But... this is a cripple, even if Fang Jifan sent his most powerful disciple Qi Jingtong, it is said that he is considered a brave general, skilled in bow and horse, and may not be an opponent of Chiju.

  The bow and horse of the Tatars are the best in the world, and everyone knows it.

   What a hassle.

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help stroke his forehead.

   "Your Majesty, don't worry too much..." Seeing this, Xiao Jing hurriedly comforted him.

   "How can you not be worried." Emperor Hongzhi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I really can't figure out what kind of medicine Fang Jifan sold in the gourd."

   After finishing speaking, he sighed: "Whether it is the prince or the successor, the two of them, even if there is no wind, they will roll up three feet of waves. After thinking about it, the emperor and grandson are the best, and they never make trouble."

   "..." Xiao Jing's face froze.

  The grandson of the emperor...he is still a child, what can he do? If you can toss around now, wouldn't you be a monster?

  Of course, Xiao Jing didn't dare to complain.

  Emperor Hongzhi said with emotion: "The two of them are sometimes inferior to a child. Look at Zhu Zaimo. They should really learn from him."

  Speaking of Zhu Zaimo, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but feel a little more gentle in his heart, and his grandson is better.

  So he sat down and took a sip of tea.

  But at this time, another **** came in a hurry: "Your Majesty!"

  The **** walked in a hurry, almost tripped over the threshold, staggered, and finally bowed down at the door.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at the eunuch, and knew in his heart that there was news from Dongcheng.

  Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath: "How?"

   "The outcome has been decided." The eunuch's voice trembled.

  Emperor Hongzhi said lazily: "Well..."

  He didn't continue to ask.

   Isn't the outcome already understood?

  The **** can also shoot arrows, so the **** should be able to lift a tripod.

  The **** Qiqi Ai Ai said: "Our Daming won, Your Majesty, God bless Daming."

   "..." Emperor Hongzhi was taken aback, staring at the eunuch.

  The **** spoke eloquently: "This fight was truly earth-shattering, and Fengyun's expression changed. As soon as our Ming Dynasty's sharpshooter entered the Wengcheng, he saw the Chiju, and hit it with an arrow from 800 steps away..."

   "Wait a minute!" Xiao Jing said with a strange expression, "Eight hundred steps away?"

"That's right, everyone saw it. Eight hundred steps away, Chiju made an ahhh, and immediately after that, our Da Ming's sharpshooter fired eight arrows like a string of beads. In an instant, Chiju shot I became a hedgehog. At that time, it was really horrible. The most powerful thing is that the sharpshooter not only shoots repeatedly, but every time the arrows are impartial, they must hit Chishu's heart, and only hurt his muscles, bones and limbs. Your Majesty, It is clear that he wants to express his anger for the imperial court, Chiju provokes the imperial court, and speaks disrespectfully in front of His Majesty, and this marksman is a student of Xishan Academy, by the way, he is also a closed disciple of His Highness the Crown Prince. , furious. These nine arrows are to let the Tatars know that our Ming Dynasty also has excellent archers who can shoot every arrow. Therefore, deliberately not hurting the vitals is to make Chiju suffer from pain and bleed to death. .”

  Emperor Hongzhi gasped.

  800 steps away...

  He looked at Xiao Jing: "How many steps can the infantry archers of the Warrior Battalion hit?"

  Xiao Jing looked ashamed: "There is a brave general who can hit three rounds within a hundred and fifty steps."

   This warrior battalion is the army horses raised by the inner palace. They are all elite soldiers selected from thousands of people, but they can only move a hundred or fifty steps.

   And these eight hundred steps...

  Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were straight: "How is this possible?"

   "Your Majesty, many people have seen it. This is what they saw with their own eyes. Who dares to lie? Slaves... are just telling the truth."

  Emperor Hongzhi listened, nodded his head, what he said...reasonable.

  He was overjoyed immediately: "Unexpectedly, my Ming Dynasty has such a warrior."

   "What's the person's name?"

   "It's called Zhang Yuanxi."

  Zhang…Yuan…Tin…

  Emperor Hongzhi read this name: "Go, bring this piece of Yuanxi, or the prince and Jifan."

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but get excited.

  Is there such a warrior in the world?

  He said: "Call Ouyang Zhi."

  A moment later, Ouyang Zhi came from the waiting room.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at Ouyang Zhi and took a deep breath: "Ouyang Qing's family is proficient in classics and history books. I want to ask you, among the ancient braves, is there anyone who killed the enemy at a distance of 800 steps?"

  Ouyang Zhi was silent.

  Emperor Hongzhi was a little anxious.

At this time, the Hanlin Daizhao Bachelor is equivalent to the ancient version of Baidu Encyclopedia dedicated to the emperor, and Ouyang Zhi is good at other times, except that sometimes his network speed is relatively slow, um... the connection may be optical fiber, but What connects Ouyang Zhi is a telephone line, um... or mobile broadband.

  Emperor Hongzhi stared at Ouyang Zhi for a long time.

  Ouyang Zhicai paused, and said, "Your Majesty, yes."

  Emperor Hongzhi said in surprise: "Really? Who is it?"

  Ouyang Zhi thought for a while, and said: "In ancient times, there were descendants of sharpshooters who could shoot the sun. I'm thinking, the sun must be more than 800 steps away."

   "..."

  Emperor Hongzhi was a little confused, Houyi...why didn't you say that Nuwa mended the sky?

  Ouyang Zhi said again: "However, I have doubts about this, and think that Hou Yi's theory may be far-fetched by future generations."

  …

  Fang Jifan has come hand in hand with Zhu Houzhao, and Zhang Yuanxi is limping behind him.

  Looking at the majestic palace, Zhang Yuanxi was very excited, and followed the crown prince and Fang Jifan to the Nuan Pavilion.

  Seeing the emperor sitting upright, the crown prince and Fang Jifan saluting, Zhang Yuanxi looked uncomfortable.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhang Yuanxi: "Is this person Houyi of Ming Dynasty?"

   Zhang Yuanxi was in a hurry to bow down, and his nose was sour all of a sudden.

   Unexpectedly, he was an unknown person, but he was able to become a great hero by chance, and was even summoned by the emperor himself. He nodded: "Grass people..."

   "I see you, but you are familiar. What is your relationship with Zhang Sheng?"

   "This is my father!"

  Emperor Hongzhi looked surprised.

   Immediately, he was overjoyed and said, "Heroes are born young."

  Zhu Houzhao said: "Father, he is not young, but my son and Fang Jifan are young."

  Emperor Hongzhi took a deep look at Zhu Houzhao: "You taught him his archery skills?"

  Zhu Houzhao's face was flushed red: "I didn't teach you well..."

   "..." Emperor Hongzhi's face changed slightly, did he teach well? Didn't the Tatar Khan want to find a piece of tofu to crash him to death? You can shoot his son to death if you don't teach well. Doesn't it mean that Khan taught his own son very badly?

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao again: "Where did your archery come from?"

  Zhu Houzhao was a little troubled, and it took him a long time to say: "I figured it out by myself."

  Emperor Hongzhi was taken aback for a moment, but he looked at Zhu Houzhao with admiration. He is really smart, but he just thinks about some things that are not right all day long...

   It's just that the father and son haven't seen each other for a long time.

  Seeing Zhu Houzhao shine today, Emperor Hongzhi said with a smile: "These days, you are in Xishan, with Jifan right?"

  Zhu Houzhao said: "Exactly."

  Emperor Hongzhi took a look at Fang Jifan: "I ordered Fang Jifan to teach you how to read and study. How are you doing now?"

  Taking this opportunity, it is time to test Zhu Houzhao.

  Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan eagerly.

  Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness, the crown prince, is extremely smart. After Xishan, he was reborn and completely renewed. I admire him very much."

  Zhu Houzhao heaved a sigh of relief.

  He saw the joy of his father. Today, he finally didn't have to be scolded, and he said happily: "Fang Jifan taught my son, and my son taught Zhang Yuanxi."

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao, who was quite proud, without changing his face.

   But at this time, an **** came in from outside and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Jian and other scholars, together with the nine ministers of all ministries, please see me."

   Come to think of it, they have also heard the news.

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "Please come in."

   After a while, dozens of ministers came in.

  Many people showed joy on their faces.

  Especially that Zhang Sheng, his face was full of red, and sometimes, he couldn't help wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes with his long lapel, full of emotion.

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "I am preparing to test the crown prince, but Zhu Qing's family has come, just in time, so I will go together and test the princes."

  Liu Jian and the others looked at each other in dismay, and said one after another: "Please make it clear, Your Majesty."

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Now, Zhang Yuanxi has shot to death the fifth Tatar prince, Chiju, to demonstrate our great Ming power. How will this Tatar react?"

  As soon as this remark came out, all the ministers showed embarrassment.

   This is not embarrassing, but many people don't want to touch this brow when they are overjoyed.

  Emperor Hongzhi first looked at Zhang Sheng: "Zhang Qing's family, you are the Minister of Rites, so you speak first."

Zhang Sheng was ashamed, and then said: "Your Majesty, I thought that swords and soldiers were about to be used. This Chiju was the last remaining son of the Tatar Khan, but now he died in Beijing. Although there is a contract of life and death, it is expected that This khan must have become angry from embarrassment and sent troops to attack."

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded and looked at the other ministers.

  People also nodded one after another.

   Killed someone's son, can you swallow this breath? No one can accept it.

  ...

  The first chapter has been delivered, and there is still five shifts, tearfully begging for a guaranteed monthly pass, without a monthly pass, my heart hurts.
