Chapter 698 Hunting (2)

 A young phoenix is ​​better than an old phoenix. After all, the three princes are young. With the help of a group of confidants, they have gained a lot, not only swans, wild ducks, hares, roe deer, bears, leopards, lynxes, elk, wolves, etc. A lot of large game such as wild boars were also hunted.

Zhu Ruoji was hunting vigorously when Zhan Shi Tang Zhen, the young master of Zhan Shi Mansion, galloped up to him and whispered: "Your Highness, the number of prey obtained during this hunting must not exceed that of your Majesty."

Zhu Ruoji nodded, "I will remember what Master Tang said."

Tang Zhen said again: "Your Highness, don't do anything that is too public. Just hunt some ordinary prey, and try to hunt as little ferocious beasts as possible."

"Huh? Why is this?" Zhu Ruoji asked strangely.

Tang Zhen said seriously: "If the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them. Hasn't Your Highness heard the story of Duke Xin Guo serving Emperor Taizu Gao?"

It turns out that Emperor Gao, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, was jealous and massacred his heroes. Among the founding heroes, only a few people such as Tang He, the Duke of Xinguo, survived. Tang He's wise and wise way of protecting himself was: "Be careful and don't be in the limelight." Eight words.

This Duke of Xin also had a bad temper at the beginning and suffered great losses. That year, he was stationed in Changzhou and asked Zhu Yuanzhang for instructions on something. As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang's answer made him very unhappy. So he drank to drown his sorrows and complained: "I Guarding Changzhou now is like standing on the rafters. If you lean to the left, it is our army, if you lean to the right, it is the enemy. As for how to deviate, I still have the final say!"

Good guy, Taizu Emperor Gao is such a person, he has many eyes and ears in the army, so these words immediately reached Taizu's ears. When all the enemy armies in the Central Plains were wiped out, rewards were given based on merit. Tang He had great merit, but he was not sealed. If you don't want to make him a duke, then you can't make him. Later, Tang He went out to conquer Shu and won another victory. When it was time to discuss merits and rewards, Taizu came to talk to him, "I heard that on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, you got drunk after drinking. Stop complaining!"

Only then did Tang He know the reason. He was so frightened that he sweated profusely and kept kowtowing to plead guilty. Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang let him go and made him a duke. However, he engraved Tang He's "stain" on the gift of Tang He. On the hereditary iron ticket.

After this incident, Tang He became cautious and refused to be in the limelight.

On the second day of commendation for conquering Shu, many ministers did not go to court because they drank too much last night. Tang He did not dare to come to the court early in the morning and waited respectfully. Taizu nodded with satisfaction: "Still "Tang Aiqing is diligent and diligent." "Do I dare to lie down flat on my back?" Tang He sighed secretly in his heart.

As expected, Hu Weiyong didn't know how to restrain himself, and was soon dealt with by Taizu. Many heroes surrendered their military power and withdrew from the court.

After the Hu Weiyong case, Taizu went hunting with his ministers. In a moment of excitement, he made a speech: "The Ming Dynasty is all thanks to your bloody battles. You are all heroes and you should share the wealth with me." Everyone was happy. The shouts of long live made the blood boil for a moment. Only Tang He calmed down: No way, who dares to share wealth with the emperor?

At this time, a black bear appeared. Taizu looked around: "Who is willing to catch this bear for me?" Tang He remained silent.

Taizu was unhappy, "Why didn't Duke Xin speak? Don't you want to share my worries?"

Upon hearing this, Tang He rolled off his horse and said: "It's not that I don't want to, but that I am old and frail. Please forgive me for my sin." After saying this, he breathed heavily and coughed violently again.<

/p>

Seeing Tang He's old appearance, Taizu quickly ordered him to return home to recuperate.

Other heroes, such as Wei Guogong Xu Da, Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong, Deqing Marquis Liao Yongzhong, Huai'an Marquis Hua Yunlong, etc. all ran towards the black bear, vowing to expose themselves to Taizu.

Soon, Liao Yongzhong, the Marquis of Deqing, was sentenced to death because he secretly used dragon and phoenix patterns; Huai'an Marquis Hua Yunlong died on the way to Beijing because he lived in the mansion of Prime Minister Tuotuo of Yuan Dynasty privately; Wei Guogong Xu Da and Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong,

Then he died inexplicably.

Only Tang He, the senile Duke of Xin who refused to catch bears, was saved and returned to Fengyang to live happily in his old age.

Hearing Tang Zhen mention the past events of trusting Guo Gongtang and serving Emperor Taizu Gao, Zhu Ruoji suddenly realized and bowed to Tang Zhen deeply: "Thank you, Master Tang, for your teaching!"

The results of the first day of hunting came out. The team of King Zhu Ruodeng of Hebei hunted the most, hunting three bears, five leopards, three lynxes, elk, wolves, wild boars, roe deer, hares, etc.; King Zhu Ruofeng of Yu

Not bad, they hunted two bears, three leopards, two lynxes, elk, wolves, wild boars, roe deer, hares, etc. Only Crown Prince Zhu Ruoji's team hunted less, except for two leopards.

, a lynx, the others are ordinary beasts.

Zhu Hengjia rewarded Zhu Ruodeng, the Ji king who gained the most, and called the crown prince Zhu Ruoji to his side. He reprimanded: "As a prince, you should not only study more, but also practice bow and horse diligently."

.

Zhu Ruoji hurriedly responded: "Thank you, Your Majesty the Father, for your teaching. The eldest son, Ruoji, has remembered it."

"Yeah." Zhu Hengjia nodded. Strangely enough, seeing that his eldest son was a little frail, the old father felt relieved. He smiled at his other two sons, Zhu Ruodeng, King of Ji, and Zhu Ruofeng, King of Yu, and said, "Although your eldest brother is not as capable as you in bowing and horsemanship,

The two of them are skilled, but they are very good at reading. You two should not indulge in riding and shooting, you must also pay close attention to your studies."

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Father, for your teachings. My second son, King Ji Ruodeng, will remember it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Father, for your teachings. Your third son, King Ruofeng of Yu, will remember it."

Zhu Ruodeng and Zhu Ruofeng responded immediately.

The four father and son were talking and laughing when suddenly there was an earth-shattering tiger roar, and a tiger was driven out by the cavalry.

He is worthy of being the king of beasts. He was surrounded by a heavy siege and showed no fear at all. He walked slowly towards His Majesty the Emperor with eyes wide open.

"Beast, so brave!"

When Zhu Hengjia saw that the king of beasts dared to offend him, the emperor of the world, he became furious and asked everyone: "My lords, who will hunt this mountain king for me?"

The prince's teacher, Nanling Bo Sun Guangwei, stepped forward and said, "I am willing to hunt this tiger for your majesty."

"Okay, I will watch Sun Qing's glory here!"

Sun Guangwei took the order and left. As expected of a cavalry general who had experienced hundreds of battles, he was skilled in bow and horse. He immediately fired an arrow from his horse and shot the tiger through its left eye. The tiger was in pain and roared towards Sun Guangwei. What a Nanling Bo.

He turned his horse slightly to avoid the tiger's attack, raised his body and shot another arrow through the tiger's right eye. The blind tiger went crazy, biting everywhere. Sun Guangwei pulled out his lance, rode the horse towards the blind tiger, "poof"

With a bang, the gun penetrated the tiger's neck. The tiger roared loudly, rolled on the ground, and fell silent for a moment.

"General Sun is mighty!"

"Uncle Nanling is such a good man!"

There were cheers from all around.

"Sun Qing's martial arts skills are really extraordinary, so I will give you this bow." With a smile on his face, Zhu Hengjia gave Sun Guangwei a bow, but in his heart he was awe-inspiring: This man is so brave, and he is also the master who teaches the prince how to ride and shoot. Wan Yiyi

Out of evil intentions, I instigated the prince to seize my power in advance, but what should I do?

After the Autumn Festival, His Majesty the Emperor led all the civil and military officials back to Nanjing.
