Mingqiu Mountain is located south of Beijing, with high mountains and dense fog, and beautiful scenery.
As a royal hunting ground appointed by Emperor Taizu of the Yan Dynasty and a summer resort for emperors of all dynasties, this place not only has beautiful palaces and forests, but also has hot springs, peach groves, strange rocks, Buddhist niches and other scenic spots. It can be called a five-star resort in the capital.
Of course, the above summary is all her own words after watching Xiao Xiruo along the road. The details will be discussed after she gets off the car.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites has just sent someone over to deliver the seven-day agenda. Do you two read it in person? Or do you want a servant to read it to you?"
Hiding timidly outside the car curtain, Shen Mian, who was accustomed to being at ease in the past, had interrupted his master's good deeds countless times, so that after being trained to doubt life, he learned to knock first when entering a house, and first when entering a car. Make a sound...
Even if you stay in the same room with two masters, you can't keep your head up and stare. You have to be blind when you need to be blind, and you have to be deaf and blind when necessary.
In short, he came to his senses.
Finally, he got permission to enter the car and stood in front of his master and empress holding the agenda.
The agenda of this hunting was decided by the Hua Party and King Qi after discussion. It lasted for seven days. On the first day, there was a banquet to worship heaven. On the second day, the two countries competed in martial arts. On the third day, all parties rested. From the fourth day, a The hunters rode into the forest to start the real Mingqiu Mountain hunting...
"What you mean is that this hunting actually lasted for three days. The hunters entered the forest from the early morning of the fourth day and came out early in the morning of the seventh day. During this period, they had all their food, clothing, housing and transportation in the dense forest. In the end, it will be up to which team has the most prey. , and then decide the outcome of this hunt?”
Xiao Xiruo looked at Shen Mian with some surprise. She had to say that after reading so many novels, this was the first time she saw a royal family hunting for several days. During this period, they were not allowed to go out of the forest, so they had to make fires, cook, and set up tents in the forest. form……
What is this?
Survival in the wilderness?
On the other hand, Feng Wuyan on the side rubbed her head and said in a nonchalant tone:
"Not leaving the forest for three days is not a tradition of the Yan Dynasty, but a custom of the Northern Yi. If I guess correctly, this matter should have been raised by the Northern Yi mission."
"Exactly."
After hearing this, Shen Mian nodded immediately and vividly recounted the interesting story that the Bei Yi came to the Ministry of Rites yesterday and asked the Ministry of Rites to formulate new hunting rules and give the Bei Yi respect.
This matter is simple to say, it's just that the hunting process arranged by the Ministry of Rites is exactly like that of Dayan, and the Beiyi look down upon it.
As a people on horseback, the Beiyi people are definitely good at hunting. Not to mention anything else, in terms of riding and shooting alone, ordinary Beiyi people can compare with ordinary Dayan soldiers.
Therefore, Dayan’s traditional hunting style of hunting in the morning, drinking tea in the afternoon, and watching singing and dancing in the evening is really unacceptable to others.
Moreover, the Renbei Yi Mission believed that such a situation would greatly affect their performance and allow them to hunt less prey.
In addition, you, Dayan, have entered the forest with so many teams, and we, Beiyi, only have two teams in total. If we continue to follow your method, won't we suffer a big loss?
"In short, Mr. Hua and Mr. Xie were troubled by the Beiyi envoys. In the end, the Queen Mother made a decision with King Qi, saying that we should give some face to the Beiyi people to avoid being accused of bullying."
As Shen Mian spoke, she pinched her orchid fingers and imitated the tone of a certain Queen Mother:
"We, the Yan State, have countless soldiers, strong horses, and good hunters. We just haven't left the forest for three days. How can we lose to those barbarians who are unfamiliar with the place~"
I have to say that Xiao Xiruo gave full marks to Shen Mian for this wave of yin and yang.
Not to mention the Empress Dowager Hua, but when she mentioned Shen Mian, she remembered one more thing. The Empress Dowager Hua should just hunt. The ones others brought were military secret guards and so on. What about her?
She actually brought along a large group of Taoist priests who held whisks in their hands and sang sutras and preached to her as they walked.
"Oh oh oh, I know this. Xi Yang said that the Queen Mother wanted to use the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony to pray for herself and extend her life."
Xiao Xiruo took a piece of lotus cake and while eating it, she taught Feng Wuyan and Shen Mian some science.
The Empress Dowager Hua has always believed in the truth and herself. After all, she believed in herself more than faith.
But since the death of Qingxu Guan after being assassinated by Hua Yao, she has become worse than before, both physically and mentally.
It's not so much a physical problem as a psychological problem.
She, the Empress Dowager, once believed that she could cover the sky with one hand, and Hua Minghua, who used her body as the Empress Dowager to exercise the authority of the empress, now began to disbelieve in herself.
People must have some spiritual sustenance. Queen Mother Hua believed it before, but she believes it even more now.
"So when Taiqing Taoist said it could bring her blessings, didn't she believe it? Not only did she believe it, she also carefully selected the person several times."
Xiao Xiruo remembered that Xi Yang would complain about each other when he came back in those two days, saying that even Yan Jin'er and Hua Suyi couldn't persuade him to join forces.
Fortunately, the Taoist priests of Qingxu Temple possess martial arts skills, and many of them are the legacy of the late emperor. They should be regarded as secret guards with them.
So Xiao Xiruo and the three of them walked and chatted all the way. Unknowingly, it was dusk and sunset, and the Mingqiu Mountain Palace was right in front of them.
At the same time, waiting in front of the imperial palace was Xiao Yi and his party who were the first to set off this morning.
As night fell, Xiao Xiruo, Feng Wuyan, Xiao Yi, Feng Yehan, Lin Jiayan, Chu Jiaojiao, Wang Ting and his wife, as well as the Ministry of War Minister Fangtang and his grandson Fang Rui, who rarely came to visit, gathered at the table.
Starting today, everyone has a new name - the Royal Party.
Yes, from the day Xiao Yi entered Beijing, Xiao Xiruo contacted all parties and determined a common goal after interviewing everyone present.
They want to keep Feng Wuyan's throne.
Not for Feng Wuyan, but for the future of everyone here.
Because I don’t know since when, all of them have been involved with the Xiao family, more or less, openly or covertly.
There are no eggs left after the nest is overturned. The Xiao family has a large number of troops and is already a thorn in the side of Hua Dang, King Qi and King Xuan. No matter which side wins, the Xiao family will have to be sacrificed.
So the emperor must be the emperor of the Xiao family.
In this regard, Feng Yehan was the first to raise his hands to express his support, and made a slanderous statement, saying that my seventh brother is optimistic about you, and I don't want to be the emperor, so you must do a good job, leaving everyone here speechless.
Lin Jiayan and Wang Ting said that they would do a good job in logistics and work hard to support the cavalry when the court did not supply food and grass.
Especially Lin Jiayan, he said that joining the imperial party was his own decision. For this reason, he had left home and severed ties with his father, brother, and sister-in-law.
If it can be done, this agreement will be invalidated. If it can be done, the father and brother will not be implicated.
Subsequently, Fang Tang's grandson and Cheng Kang's confessions were similar, because they were staunch retainers of the Xiao family. Among them, Fang Tang also half-hiddenly expressed his loyalty on behalf of his friend Yao Zhong because the other party could not come.
But when Chu Jiaojiao was asked why she joined, her little face puffed up like a hamster, and she said matter-of-factly while chewing:
"Xi Ruo gives me food to keep me satisfied. And he, he, he, he is my sparring partner."
In this regard, what can Feng Wuyan, Feng Yehan, and Xiao Yi say who were glanced at by the girl?
Well, they are sparring partners, Xiruo said they are who they are.
Xiao Xiruo expressed great satisfaction with this.
She is ready, so starting from tomorrow, she will greet Wu Zhu, Feng Xuan, Garuda, Yan Moqing... These leeks are full of malice towards her and seem to want to kill her~ This chapter has been completed!
