Chapter 814 Brothers should be of the same mind
On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month of the 25th year of Tiancheng, Daning, tens of thousands of imperial guards guarded the emperor and civil and military officials went out of Chang'an to head north towards Yanshan. This winter hunt was scheduled for five days. The team went out of Chang'an and passed the Wei River. It took one day to walk to the south of Yanshan. There was a Yanshan palace here. Although it was not far from Chang'an City, the emperor rarely came here.
Yanshan Palace was specially built for winter hunting and has a history of nearly two hundred years. Six of them were renovated, but according to the requirements of Emperors of Daning in all dynasties, none of them were expanded.
Before Chen Leng went out, he discussed with Mr. Cha, that it would be better not to ride a black mastiff. It would be fine to scare the cute little Xizhi and the cerebral axes in the mountains. If he was shocked by the imperial guards, the horses were shocked, it would be bad. This time, all the concubines in the harem were accompanied by Dongshou, as if they were to come out to relax, and it would be even worse to scare them. Now, in the harem, Zhen is still in power, and Yi is the second.
Because he was worried that Xiao Shenji and Xiao Shenning would not be able to adapt to the colder climate in the mountains, Concubine Zhen discussed with the emperor and did not come with the army this time. Concubine Yi brought the second prince with him.
The second prince was as tall as Chen Leng's shoulders. Concubine Yi originally asked him to ride a carriage with him, but the second prince was unwilling to ride a horse and walk side by side with Shen Leng.
The carriage in the East Palace was behind His Majesty's carriage. Prince Li Changze opened the car door and came out. Standing on the car and looked around. After leaving Chang'an, there was a plain. Although the wind and cold, it made people feel that their mood became widened. His eyes finally fell in front. He saw the second prince Li Changye and Shen Leng walking side by side, so he frowned slightly.
He naturally knew that the emperor asked Chen Leng to guide his younger brother Chang Ye's martial arts, but he didn't want Chang Ye and Shen Leng to go too close. He glared at the other side and couldn't reveal it, so he had to go back to the carriage and sulk. He thought for a while and was a little surprised. He thought about it and thought about why he was so angry, and of course he wouldn't think deeply... In fact, this probably just didn't want the people he cared about to get too close to others, that's all, not because he would get rid of Chen Leng sooner or later.
The second prince's face was so cold that it was red. The coldness made him go back to the carriage, but he just shook his head.
"Master, what wild animals do you think will be in Yanshan?"
"Your Highness, don't call me Master... This season, some wild animals can hibernate and cannot be seen, such as bears. However, there are many wild animals in the Yanshan hunting ground, and the best one to fight is roe deer."
"That won't work, my mother said, General Chen is giving me so many things, both martial arts and war formations and techniques, that is, Master, she told me to respect Master."
Because the second prince's mother, Concubine Yi, was not very good, so she lived carefully in the harem. After having the second prince, her mother was named Concubine because of her son. Only then could she really raise her head. However, she was so arrogant that she could not be so arrogant. She just thought that His Majesty would let powerful ministers like General Chen Leng and Grand Secretary Lai Cheng go around more with the second prince, one to let the second prince learn more, and the other to support her.
Her family is not big and she thinks she has no confidence. The emperor naturally knows what she is worried about. Although she feels much more at ease after having the second prince, she still acts cautiously and feels pitiful. Therefore, with important officials of the court like Lai Cheng and Shen Leng teaching the second prince, Concubine Yi is also more confident.
She had actually heard that His Majesty wanted to make Concubine Zhen the queen more than once, but Concubine Zhen refused and even persuaded His Majesty several times to make her queen. Since then, Concubine Yi has respected Concubine Zhen even more.
The queen has passed away for several years. Concubine Zhen refused to agree, so the emperor would not establish the queen. It depends on who is more stubborn in the end.
In Yanshan South, the team slowly stopped. If the light car was running in less than two hours, the team could arrive from Chang'an City. The team in front had already reached Yanshan South, and the team behind had not far from Chang'an. When all the teams were settled, the sky might have been dark.
When the subsequent imperial guards arrived, the emperor waved: "Naoze, Changye... and Chen Leng, follow me to the high place to take a look."
The guard of the great inner guard immediately went up the mountain in advance to make arrangements. The emperor looked around as he walked: "Yanshan is not far from the north of Chang'an, but in the past twenty years, I seem to have not been here a few times. When I was young, I often walked on Yanshan Gorge. When I came back from the northern border, I had to leave. I remember that there was a Ruyi Inn in Yanshan Gorge in the past. The boss had a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old. Every time I ate in her shop, she always cut more meat for me than others."
The eldest son Li Changze looked at the second son Li Changye, and the two of them thought that this was not easy to talk to.
The heartless Chen Leng walked at the end, and his eyes lit up when he heard the emperor say this.
"Um~"
The emperor looked back at Chen Leng, and if he hadn't seen this, Chen Leng would have whistled.
Chen Leng quickly lowered his head.
The emperor walked up the stone steps of the palace. There was a lookout near the top of the mountain. It was built very large and flat. Standing on the lookout, you can see the scenery of Chang'an from a distance. For climbing, the greatest joy is the heroic and openness when standing at a high place to overlook the distance.
The emperor said as he walked, "I was eight years old and I came to Yanshan Dongshou for the first time with my father. I shot a lone wolf. At that time, I didn't know what fear was. I shot an arrow, but there was no force. The bows and arrows I used at that time were specially made, and I thought they could be as sharp as those used by adults. In fact, that arrow could not hurt the lone wolf at all. I foolishly pulled out the short knife and went up, which scared everyone around me to scream."
He looked at Li Changze: "I didn't bring you here in the previous winter hunts."
Crown Prince Li Changze hurriedly bowed his head: "Yes, my father, my son has not been able to come to Yanshan with his father several times."
The emperor nodded and looked at the second prince Li Changye: "You will follow me tomorrow and let me see how your martial arts are? If I am not satisfied, I will let someone lock up Chen Leng."
The second prince was still young after all, so he hurriedly said, "I can definitely shoot my prey. Even if I don't shoot, it must be because my master taught me badly, but because my master is not good at learning skills."
The emperor was stunned and looked at Chen Leng: "Chang Ye calls you master?"
Chen Leng quickly explained: "I said that I should not call this, but the second prince insisted on doing this."
The emperor looked at the second prince Li Changye: "Don't call him master in the future."
The second prince thought to himself why, but he didn't dare to ask. The words of the father were the will, and of course the will could not be disobeyed.
"My son remembered."
Chen Leng breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the second prince was so awkward to call him like this.
The emperor thought in his heart, if you were Changye’s master, would I still call you brother? Do you call me brother?
"How do you call General Chen in the future?"
"It's called General Chen."
When the emperor walked halfway up the mountain, he stopped to rest. When he arrived at a high place, the mountain wind became stronger. The mountain wind in this season was as sharp as a knife. The second prince's face turned redder. Chen Leng took off the big cloak on his body and put it on the second prince, and stood up the collar of the big cloak to block the wind. The emperor felt a little warm after seeing this scene. He happened to see the prince Li Changze glaring at Chen Leng again, and his heart moved.
"I often tell you two that brothers are both good at stake and good at stake, and their words are as bad as orchids. Changze, your younger brother is still young, so you should give more advice and take care of him in the future."
Crown Prince Li Changze hurriedly bowed his head: "My son remember."
The emperor looked at Chen Leng: "Remember too."
Chen Leng nodded: "I remember."
The emperor rested for a while and continued to climb up the mountain. It took more than half an hour before climbing the observation deck and walked to the railing. The emperor held the railing and looked towards the direction of Chang'an City to the south. He felt a sense of anger in his heart, as if he had seen his thousands of miles of land.
"Chang'an City is really beautiful."
The emperor sighed: "When the founding of the country of Daning, Chang'an was just a small town. Hundreds of years later, Chang'an was the world's largest city. The Black Martial Arts people were not convinced to build the Star City. They felt that the world's first city cannot be in Daning but must be in Heiwu. If I cannot demolish the Black Martial Arts Star City, you brothers and two must remember that one day, the Black Martial Arts Star City must be unstable."
The two princes lowered their heads and responded, and looked into the distance, breathing heavily, and the air inhaled from their noses made people feel so comfortable.
When the second prince saw the emperor holding the railing in his hand and looking into the distance, he also imitated the emperor's appearance and put his hands on the railing. But at this moment, the disrepaired railing broke. The second prince pounced forward and fell down. The prince Li Changze, the closest to him, did not catch it. His eyes suddenly opened wide and exclaimed in an awe. He subconsciously wanted to rush over, but his steps stopped abruptly on the edge of the observation deck.
The moment he stopped, Chen Leng flashed past him, and without a trace of hesitation, he jumped down.
In the air, Chen Leng pulled out the scabbard of the hunting knife, and flew out and grabbed the belt of the second prince. He hit it very accurately. When he fell, he grabbed the scabbard with his left hand and pulled out the black line knife with his right hand and poked it into the mountain. However, this place was not easy to get stuck. It slid two or three feet away in a row. Chen Leng cut the pine tree next to him with one knife, and his body stopped, and the second prince hanging also stopped.
Chen Leng took a deep breath, and turned his left arm back and forth, so that the thin threads of the scabbard were wrapped around his arm. He pulled the second prince back little by little, and the thin threads were tied to his arm, and the arm armor made a friction sound. After finally pulling the second prince to his side, Chen Leng grabbed the second prince's belt and looked up. The emperor actually came down with several guards, while the prince looked down nervously at the edge of the cliff.
"Your Majesty doesn't have to come down."
Chen Leng shouted, raised the second prince with one arm, and the guard slid down from above reached to reach the second prince, but it was almost impossible to reach it. Chen Leng grabbed the second prince's belt with his left hand and lifted it up, and lifted it to the limit. The guard hugged the second prince with one hand, and then tied the rope wrapped around his body to the second prince.
With a click, the pine tree hanging on Chen Leng broke, and Chen Leng fell towards the mountain.
The emperor's eyes suddenly opened wide, and for a moment, his eyes were covered with blood!
