Regardless of whether he knew Zhu Houzhao or not, Xu Xun's words of "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince" were genuine. Looking at Zhang Zong, who was still furious just now, after being stunned, he actually knelt down with a sad face, and the others
There can be no doubts. Since those hereditary officers of the Jinyiwei were carefully selected by Xu Xun, even though they are tired after standing for so long, they must hold their heads high at this moment, and they all want to use their best energy.
God appeared, and Wang Shikun, Xu Yanche, and Qi Jiliang, of course, would not imitate the unlucky Zhang Zongshuo, and they all cheered up for a moment.
Therefore, Zhang Zongshuo, who was kneeling there, looked extremely helpless and pitiful, but no one had sympathy for him at this moment. Especially when Xu Xun read out the number twenty for practicing lazy military sticks, Wang Shikun even grinned with schadenfreude.
"Well, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people!" Although Zhu Houzhao is now more polite to his two uncles, he doesn't think highly of those cousins. Because he feels that Zhang Zongshuo has lost his face, he even
He was so angry that he opened his mouth and burst out such a clear statement that few people dare to say these days. Then he looked at Xu Xun and said, "Xu Xun, I will punish you if you deserve it. I will punish you if you deserve it."
What we want are brave men, not those weaklings with pustules!"
Zhang Zong said that although he was two years older than Zhu Houzhao, he saw that the prince's cousin had always been like a mouse before a cat and did not dare to say a word. Now when he heard Zhu Houzhao's harsh words, he was even more frightened and hurriedly
He kowtowed and said: "Your Highness, I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong. I beg Your Highness to see that I am young and ignorant and this is the first time I have made a mistake. Kuan Xiaochen this time..."
"Kowtowing is useless. I'm not your immediate superior. These military rules are military rules. Anyone who violates them will be punished! Xu Xun, don't you think so?"
Xu Xun had already expected that Zhang Zong would be the first to be unable to hold on. If Zhu Houzhao couldn't come, he really planned to show off to others, but now that the prince is here, doing so seems to be deliberately taking advantage of the situation to pressure others.
. So, he changed his mind and walked to Zhu Houzhao's side and said: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really has clear rewards and punishments! However, considering that this is the first time, it is better to forgive him this time.
But the physical pain can be avoided, but the punishment cannot be avoided. After today's training is over, how about asking him to copy a hundred pages of the book?"
After saying this, before Zhu Houzhao could speak, he lowered his voice and said: "Your Highness, you must save some face for the Queen and Hou Ning, otherwise the noble prince will be stripped of his trousers and slapped, and you two will lose face.
."
"Okay, it's up to you!"
Zhu Houzhao only hated Zhang Zong for saying that he wanted to be lazy and cheating and took out the prince as his backer. He was so angry that he planned to hit him, but Xu Xun took out Queen Zhang, so he could only give up temporarily after thinking about it, but his eyes
As soon as he turned around, he added: "But a hundred pages are not enough. Let's copy two hundred pages first to set an example. The drill will be as usual. Let him light a lamp and copy at night! Also, he is not allowed to leave Xiyuan without authorization in the past few days, lest he come back.
I went to find someone to write for me...Zhang Zong said, please be honest with me, I will recognize your handwriting!"
Although he escaped from the twenty-big board, Zhang Zong stood up and said that when he thought about the two hundred pages of the book, he felt like crying without tears. When Xu Xun saw Zhu Houzhao coming, he naturally would not let him just watch such a boring army.
After training Zhang Zong, he ordered Ma Qiao to rest for a moment, and immediately took Zhu Houzhao to the place where he used to give lectures to the young soldiers.
The attendants Liu Jin and Zhang Yong were busy setting up chairs and tea. Young Master Xu Xun couldn't help but smile and said: "Your Highness is really powerful. Zhang Zong said that with such a arrogant temper, Your Highness immediately became honest as soon as he drank."
"Of course. Even though he is honest in front of me and Shouning Hou, this kid is also a bully outside. One time I happened to encounter him bullying good people, so I quietly asked someone to teach him a lesson!" said
At this point, Zhu Houzhao glanced sideways at Xu Xun and said, "Only Liu Jin and Zhang Yong and I know about this. Don't tell anyone. The queen mother was so angry that time that Shuntian Prefecture Yin was bullied by the boss!"
Sure enough, every mountain is as high as the other!
Seeing that Liu Jin and Zhang Yong seemed to be fine, as if Zhu Houzhao was not talking about them, Xu Xun couldn't help laughing, but he seriously praised the young marquis for his cleverness. And this voice of the young marquis evoked the memory again.
Zhu Houzhao recalled those memories of the past, and now complained: "Zhang Zong said that this pustule ruined my reputation. I remember when I learned archery from Wang Shouren, my hands were blistered, and I didn't say anything there.
How could he be so useless while practicing! If I had known I would never use his title of Shouning Hou Shizi, it would be such a shame for me!"
"Yes, yes, if His Highness hadn't been so diligent in studying, how could he have been able to appear in front of so many elders and impress them last time?"
"Of course, as long as I get serious, these are nothing!" Thinking of the stunned look of the ministers when he appeared on the stage, Zhu Houzhao immediately felt itchy. He stood up and shouted, "You were not in the palace a few days ago.
Here, I forgot! Come on, compete with me again. That time I made a mistake and lost to you. This time I will come back no matter what!"
"Okay, but Your Highness is taking Eunuch Liu and Eunuch Zhang with you. How about I go get two more people to witness?"
Zhu Houzhao was eager to show off his archery skills in front of others, so when he heard this, he immediately nodded in agreement without saying a word. When he hurriedly took Liu Jin and Zhang Yong to the long galloping road behind them, and waited for a long time, then he looked
Xu Xun calmly brought two people over. The first one he knew was Wang Shikun, the brother-in-law of Wei Guogong, but he had never seen the other strong man. But at this moment, he didn't care about it at all, and kept urging him to start.
.Seeing Wang Shikun go with the strong man, Liu Jin, and Zhang Yong to set up the target and make all the preparations, he grabbed the treasured bow beside him without saying a word.
Half an hour later, the group of people returned to the inner school grounds. Zhu Houzhao, who was energetic at first, took a breath now. He peeked at Xu Xun's evil smile and couldn't help but snorted at it: "
Unfortunately, my prince has stumbled again, and I will let you be proud for a while!"
"Yes, yes, I just performed beyond my level, and I was lucky enough to win another shot from Your Highness."
In front of outsiders, Xu Xun naturally did not lose his duty as a minister and responded with a smile. Seeing Zhu Houzhao turning his head away angrily as if he was about to leave, he quickly took two steps to catch up and said softly: "
Having said that, this time the minister of the vanguard of the two thousand government troops also wants to discuss with His Highness. Now that there are more people, the commander and the commander can not be set up for the time being, but there must be one for thousands of households. I plan to have two thousand people
Set up as the left and right camps, the left camp is based on the five hundred people from before, and the Qianhu is temporarily represented by Maqiao, that is, the big black man. As for the right camp, it is mainly based on the newly transferred people, plus Wang Shikun and others
These few hundred families are from prominent families, so it is difficult to choose candidates from these thousands of families. I thought about it and decided to appoint Qian Ning."
"Who is Qian Ning? I think Wang Shikun is quite good. He is not as smart as that Zhang Zong who only knows how to bully others!"
Xu Xun caught a glimpse of Qian Ning who had just run away but didn't say a word. He was stunned with disbelief on his face until Zhu Houzhao objected, while Wang Shikun had a look of surprise on his face. At this time, he said with a smile
: "Shikun is smart and skilled, which is good, but his experience is somewhat lacking. As for Qian Ning, he was the one who just reported the archery target to His Highness. He is a descendant of hundreds of families and has real skills. Moreover, he is a little older and stable.
"
"Oh!" Zhu Houzhao looked at Qian Ning and saw that he was really tall and powerful. He tilted his head and looked at him for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "Okay, the person you like must be good. As for Wang Shikun
…”
Zhu Houzhao glanced sideways at Wang Shikun, and then said with a smile: "Wang Shikun and Xu Xun have said so, so I have to let you suffer this time. However, the two thousand avant-garde of the imperial army are not enough in any case. You are so unlucky."
I'm practicing. Next time we add a thousand more people, I'll let you be a member of the Thousand Households without any agency. You can go straight to your official position! If Xu Xun still refuses, I'll make the decision for you!"
Wang Shikun was a little depressed when he heard Xu Xun push away the opportunity that was on his lips. But when Zhu Houzhao said this, he suddenly woke up and hurriedly thanked him profusely. At this time, Xu Xun calmly said
After kicking Qian Ning, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank him. He unconsciously raised the corner of his mouth.
"Qian Ning, don't live up to Xu Xun's recommendation to you! Zhang Zong said you can train those guys how you want them to be trained. If they don't look good then, you're the only one I'll ask!"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will do my best and will never slack off!"
To Qian Ning who kept kowtowing, Zhu Houzhao nodded obligingly, looked at the sky and sighed: "Okay, it's time to go back again. Tomorrow there will be exams again in the morning, and endorsements in the evening. If endorsements and archery
It would be nice if it was just as interesting..."
Seeing Zhu Houzhao walking forward with his hands behind his back, Liu Jin rushed after him, while Zhang Yong took a chance and said to Xu Xun: "Isn't this little Mongolian prince fighting more and more vigorously? Mr. Miao is really working hard in the camp.
, I hope to be able to partner with Bao Guo Gong again and lead the troops together. Your Majesty, please hurry up and train these two thousand avant-garde troops. When the time comes, we will really send troops. His Highness the Crown Prince has suggested that you pull out the troops and follow.
It’s the boss’s job for them to go there, don’t miss this opportunity!”
Watching the East Palace Master gradually move away from the three of them, Xu Xun pondered over Zhang Yong's suggestion. While he was thinking whether it was Zhang Yong's own idea or whether there had been rumors somewhere, a voice suddenly came from behind.
sound.
"Sir, if you can really succeed in your humble position, you will never forget your support!"
Turning around, he saw Qian Ning still kneeling there, only this time he was kowtowing to him. Xu Xun immediately stepped forward to help him up, and said with a smile: "I gave you the opportunity, and you will see it too, Your Highness."
After that, as long as you practice hard and work hard, you can still improve in the future. But if you can't seize this opportunity, there will be no next time."
"Yes, yes, my humble position will definitely live up to your support!"
