Before the ancients were crowned, they were still children and could not drink.

certainly!

If you drink some secretly, it will definitely be fine.

It's just that drinking openly and openly at a palace banquet like this won't work.

The issue is.

King Zhao proposes a toast, can you not drink it?

If you don't drink, it will be disrespectful to King Zhao, and that's unacceptable.

To put it simply, this is a conspiracy.

Based on the nature of King Zhao Liu Pengzu, no matter what decision Huo Guang made, he would record the matter. In the future, if there was a conflict and Huo Guang dared not to comply, he would write a letter to the emperor about it.

The previous prime ministers of Zhao State, as well as the first two thousand stone-level officials, were all killed in this way after he caught hold of them.

Huo Guang looked at King Zhao who was slightly angry in front of him, rolled his eyes, and said: "King Zhao, it's not that I don't respect you, it's just that I'm thinking about you."

"Oh? For my own sake, what's the explanation?" King Zhao asked.

Huo Guang then explained: "The boy has not yet been crowned, but he is still a boy. If the King of Zhao forces the boy to drink wine and the news spreads, I don't care. The main reason is that your reputation is not good."

"Moreover."

"My brother, the Cavalry General, has a bad temper. If it's because of this, it wouldn't be a good idea to say a few words to His Majesty, right?"

reputation?

Ah!

Liu Pengzu's reputation has long been ruined outside.

Historical records.

The envoys and travelers who came and went did not dare to stay in Handan because Liu Pengzu was sinister and evil.

When King Zhao heard this, he was full of disdain and sneered: "Huo Yilang is threatening me with his brother?"

As the mountain is high, the emperor is far away.

I'm afraid it won't work if I try to win the championship, Hou Huo Qubing, to suppress his illness.

Huo Guang shook his head at this time and said: "No, it's King Zhao who is worrying too much!"

King Zhao Liu Pengzu was about to continue to say something, but at this time, Zhang Tang, the censor doctor, finally stood up and said: "Why should King Zhao make things difficult for Huo Yilang? Although your Majesty asked him to cooperate with me to handle the case, after all, it is only ten years old."

A two- or three-year-old boy."

"If you have leisure time?"

"How about I, Zhang Tang, have a few drinks with King Zhao?"

After what the imperial censor said, the chill on King Zhao's face suddenly disappeared.

taken instead of.

He smiled honestly and said: "Hey, how could I force a kid to drink? Haha, I was just joking with Huo Yilang."

"Huo Yilang mentioned my brother just now."

"I wonder how much I can learn from General Hussar..."

Ask him how much he has learned?

What bad idea did King Zhao have?

Huo Guang frowned slightly and said: "The boy is dull and has not learned much from his elder brother, but his shooting skills are pretty good!"

"Archery?" King Zhao Liu Pengzu laughed, waved his hand and asked his servant to bring over arrows and throwing pots, and said: "Since Huo Yilang can't drink, he will use throwing pots instead. If he hits a few arrows, he will drink it.

A few drinks for fun."

It is true that ancient scholars and officials played this game during banquets, but the emphasis was on calmness, tranquility, and etiquette.

King Zhao was provocative.

the most important!

Huo Guang had basically never practiced hutong. His elder brother taught him mostly archery.

There is a big difference between archery and pot throwing.

What if you miss?

It's a small shame to be embarrassed, I'm afraid that Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu will do something else.

After thinking for a moment, Huo Guang raised his hand and said: "King Zhao, this hut is prepared for people who can't shoot. I know how to shoot, but I play hu. Is that ridiculous?"

"Originally, King Zhao was toasting, but as a young boy, I couldn't drink it. It was really helpless."

"It would be impolite if we continue to use pot throwing as a game. How about reintroducing Spring and Autumn etiquette and playing an archery game?"

Before the game of pot.

One of the etiquettes used by princes when entertaining guests is to invite the guests to shoot arrows.

so.

What Huo Guang said was not offensive at all.

After hearing this, King Zhao Liu Pengzu laughed and said: "Okay, let's change to archery for fun. Come, bring me my big bow!"

Just say it.

The servant then came up with a two-stone iron bow.

This bow is raised.

Huo Guang was dumbfounded.

He did say that he wanted to shoot arrows, but he didn’t say that he needed to use a bow that could only be pulled by an adult?

What's more...

It is also the standard two-stone iron bow for military commanders!

After the imperial censor saw the bow, he immediately said: "Whether King Zhao has passed this bow, I'm afraid it will take a champion to draw it."

Liu Pengzu laughed and said, "I can't blame you for that. It was Huo Yilang himself who suggested archery."

After the imperial censor Zhang Tang glanced at Huo Guang, he couldn't help but sigh.

I thought to myself, I told you before I came here not to talk nonsense, is that okay now?

Show off!

How will you end it?

Huo Guang didn't know what Zhang Tang was thinking at this time. He just stood up from his seat, walked to the slave holding a two-stone iron bow, and gently touched the bow with his hand.

Then!

He even picked up the bow and felt its weight.

This bow is very heavy!

But Huo Guang said: "Yes, it is a good bow, so this is it!"

After hearing his words.

Then Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu burst into laughter.

As the owner, Liu Pengzu knows how much strength is required to pull this bow.

even if!

Huo Guang could pull the bow, but all his strength was used to pull the bow. How could he still have a crosshair when shooting?

"Heroes come from young, Huo Yilang. Let's use this throwing pot as a target. How many steps away are you going to place it? Fifty steps is feasible?" Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu asked.

How far?

The book says that Lu Bu shot his halberd from the gate, and it hit the branch tip of Fang Tian's painted halberd from a distance of 150 steps.

Huo Guang thought that he was no better than Lu Bu, so he decided to make a compromise!

"A hundred steps away is fine."

Hearing this,

The smile on Liu Pengzu's face grew stronger and he asked: "If there are only three things to do, how about taking three arrows?"

Three arrows?

I admire him very much, Huo Guang.

With the draw force of this bow and arrow, just one arrow could use up all his strength.

If you shoot two more, I'm afraid it will be a worldly treasure.

Instead of making a fool of yourself, it's better to hold a cup and forget it, so Huo Guang said: "Why three arrows are needed? I'll just get one!"
