Chapter three hundred and seventy seventh: majestic
Fang Jifan felt a little sad when he thought of taking the review exam!
If I had known this, it would have been good to practice some archery and horses at the beginning.
Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao with expectation and said, "That, I... can I not go? My brain..."
Zhu Houzhao seemed to see Fang Jifan's thoughts, with a little gloating on her face, and said with a sneer: "Oh, go and talk to your father by yourself."
Fang Jifan could only look at Zhu Houzhao resentfully!
Fang Jifan knew very well about this review.
Because... I think no one expected that the Ming Dynasty's military preparations had already relaxed to this point! Even before that, Emperor Hongzhi was full of confidence!
Of course... Fang Jifan himself has a responsibility. As one of the group of scumbags, although he knows that the law does not blame the masses, and the eldest brother does not laugh at the second brother, but if he is not capable, he is not capable.
This review was planned by Emperor Hongzhi for a long time. He had a good impression of the nobles and military officers. Most of the military officers on duty in the palace looked powerful. Although they had experienced the haze of the Battle of Tumu Fort, so many years had passed after all. I think that these children were working hard to be successful, it would be impressive.
At this time, Emperor Hongzhi was sitting in the warm pavilion, holding the memorials of the commanders of each guard, and they all praised the current emperor for holding a review and examination, which could allow the military officers below to show their skills, and encourage the superiors and subordinates. Countless people were ready to try and try.
Emperor Hongzhi was very happy to see it. He couldn't help but say to Xiao Jing beside him: "These days, the conquest of North Korea has made me dizzy. I feel so uncomfortable. Look, there are many brave men in the Ming Dynasty. They are my guarantee for the Ming Dynasty. This review is of great significance. I decided to watch the ceremony in person. The review will be held in the urn city. The place is open and the military, civilians and the people will have a good look."
Seeing that His Majesty was in a good mood, Xiao Jing hurriedly smiled and said, "What His Majesty said is that all the generals and generals of the three armies want to show their skills in front of His Majesty."
Emperor Hongzhi nodded proudly.
This time, there has been a layer of extraordinary significance.
The most important thing is to shock all sides so that the vassal states know that such a rebellious country as Li Long in Korea would not have a good end. Secondly, the recent response of scholars from all over the world to criticize Li Long and complain about why the court did not send troops early.
Emperor Hongzhi put down his memorials and sighed: "The review and test are both literary and martial arts, and riding and shooting are the fundamentals, but martial arts should not be relaxed. What should I do with this strategy question?"
Xiao Jing looked at Emperor Hongzhi deeply: "Your Majesty, isn't the court worried about the affairs of the North Korean country at the moment?"
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said nothing, so he naturally could not reveal the question now.
He stood up, with his hands behind his back, and said as he walked: "The last time I went to the West Mountain, I thought to myself that this great river and mountain also needs to be protected by swords and axes. If I want the whole world to be like the West Mountain, I naturally need to prepare for the troops so that no one dares to invade my Ming Dynasty."
"I will send an order to the British Duke Zhang Mao to confess to the Taimiao on my behalf."
Xiao Jing responded respectfully: "Yes."
…………
British Duke Zhang Mao, once again represented the emperor, went to the Taimiao to celebrate the sacrifice.
As soon as the news came out, the capital knew that it was imminent to read the test.
By the ninth day of the second month, the weather was getting warmer, and the climate this year was slightly better than before, but the reviews had quietly begun.
What we need to take this first game is riding and shooting.
When it comes to riding and shooting, Zhang Mao was extremely excited!
Early in the morning, he dressed properly and tied his gold belt, as if to remind His Majesty that he had gained the favor of the Chenghua Emperor by riding and shooting!
When Zhang Mao entered the palace, he saw Emperor Hongzhi, and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the auspicious time is coming."
Emperor Hongzhi was wearing a crown garment. Xiao Jing tiptoed behind Emperor Hongzhi, stroking the back of Emperor Hongzhi. Emperor Hongzhi nodded and said, "Don't give up, warriors, are you all ready?"
"Your Majesty, you are all ready!" Zhang Mao smiled and said, "Everyone, the sons of the uncle, and the military officers of the Imperial Guards, sharpened their swords and waited for His Majesty to watch the ceremony. They were very excited to find out that His Majesty was coming."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Others say that I value culture over military affairs, but I don't know that civil and military affairs are treated equally. Today, I want to let the ministers know that I am absolutely unbiased. By the way, Fang Jifan... has gone too?"
"Go."
That's it, but when Zhang Mao thought of this kid, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh!
He was afraid that Fang Jifan would pretend to be sick. He was Xinjian Bo. His Majesty must pay attention to him, so others could not go, but Fang Jifan, a fool, had to go! After all, if you don’t go, it’s a matter of attitude. If you go, you lose someone, it’s just a matter of ability.
Therefore, early this morning, before entering the palace, he went to the Fang family and took Fang Jifan to the camp.
But Zhang Mao couldn't tell His Majesty that Fang Jifan was taken away. Until now, Zhang Mao discovered that Fang Jifan had grown up and was no longer the bad guy who didn't want Bilian.
At this time, he said again: "Fang Jifan was overjoyed when he heard that Your Majesty was watching the ceremony. He said that although it was not good to ride and shoot, his Majesty went to read it himself, and he was very energetic and energetic..."
Emperor Hongzhi was originally going to frown because in his understanding, this guy from Jifan was trying to find a reason to stay lazy. He never thought that this guy was quite sensible.
It's becoming more and more steady!
Emperor Hongzhi sighed in his heart, so he said, "Let's get on."
Today, Fang Jifan is wearing military uniform. He is tall and thin, and he looks heroic!
But he was a slut, and he and many noble children did not recognize him very much. Only some frowning military officers from Qianhuo and Zhang Xin stood together one by one!
Every day, they are exploring the cultivation of fruits and vegetables and fiddling with flowers and plants. How can they have the intention to practice archery and horses?
When they saw Fang Qianhu coming, everyone stared at each other with a very awkward look, as if a group of academic masters met in physical education class.
"I've seen thousands of households."
Fang Jifan looked at them with his hands behind his back and smiled: "Are you ready?"
After so many years, I still can't change my mentality of pretending.
Zhang Xin and others admired Fang Jifan very much. Last time they saw Fang Qianhu riding a horse, the horse was very strong and jumping up and down. Fang Jifan screamed at the horse and almost fell off the horse several times, but even so, Fang Qianhu was still so calm and composed. Such calmness is worthy of being Fang Qianhu.
"Prepare...it's okay." Zhang Xin and others looked ashamed, their faces were a little red.
Fang Jifan encouraged them, "If you are not arrogant or impatient, don't lose the face of thousands of households in the military farm. Riding and shooting is not a difficult task, it's just riding on a horse to shoot arrows. Well, just master the skills, don't be afraid."
"yes."
On the city tower of the urncheng, Emperor Hongzhi had already arrived, and all the officials gathered up and came to see the ceremony!
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and looked out from afar. There were many low-level officials and envoys in Beijing on the far city wall. He specially invited some villagers to come to watch the ceremony. Emperor Hongzhi was very satisfied: "Sing Jin, let's start."
Not to mention the Imperial Guard Camp, the imperial court usually has sufficient supplies and is strong. The nobles and nobles are all families of military generals, and I am a hero.
Even the Jingying was the elite of the Ming Dynasty.
So, under the order of the Minister of War Ma Wensheng, the gongs began to sound on the city tower, and drums began to sound on the city wall.
Under the sound of this shocking drum, the gate leading to the city was wide open. Countless children and military officers in military uniforms lined up and slowly rode forward.
From a distance, it is very majestic.
Xie Qian stood beside Emperor Hongzhi and whispered: "Your Majesty, this is a mighty army."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and nodded.
Zhu Houzhao, who was standing aside, looked out from afar, saw a hint of clue, and couldn't help but sneer on her lips, and said with a little contemptuous tone: "Flower style."
Zhu Houzhao originally came with expectations, but when he saw that the officials who came out of the city gate were all wearing mail and had a copper and iron fan hat on his head. He was indeed majestic, but he suddenly became disappointed.
This sound happened to be heard by Emperor Hongzhi!
So Emperor Hongzhi glared at Zhu Houzhao and scolded, "You are the prince, how can you humiliate the soldiers like this?"
Zhu Houzhao seemed to want to argue: "Son-in-law..."
"It's getting less and less awesome." Emperor Hongzhi said: "The crown prince wants to love the people as his son, and also love the soldiers as his son. Who would like to serve you as such a harsh person?"
"What my son means...ah, Fang Jifan is here." Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up and he looked down the city.
Fang Jifan was fighting horses and mixed in the crowd, urging the horses, slowly moving, and breathing a sigh of relief!
It turned out to be a tour bus, it was so dangerous. He deliberately lowered his horse speed and landed behind Zhang Xin and others. He had a bronze sun hat on his head, a geese feather was inserted on his head, and a full body was covered with an arrow, a quiver was inserted diagonally between his waist, and a quiver was hanging on his waist. He drank the bells all the way, which simply revealed the majesty of his ancestors for the eighteen generations.
A fat military officer was panting and beating his horse, as if he was about to suffocate, shouting: "Go slower, walk slower, hey..."
"Hey, I said I'm going to shoot arrows, I'm going to shoot arrows."
There was a commotion in the back of the hair, and the majestic guys began to feel uncomfortable, and many of them looked miserable.
"Is it a step bow or a archer?" The fat man asked in a low voice with sweat on his forehead.
Someone was tall and could see far: "The horses are riding, of course they are riding and shooting. Where can they be archers? It's over, I'm scared. As soon as the horse runs fast, I feel panicked."
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid... Stay calm!" Someone whispered: "Let's slow down and go to the end."
Chapter completed!
