Chang Yu rarely stayed in bed. When he got up, he found that there were snowmen in the yard. Lian Xin and Kun Xing were playing with great interest. Zhu Cixiang was practicing martial arts with Wang Zhengnan, and the Chen brothers stood watching.
"He has no talent for practicing martial arts at all, and he built the foundation too late, so it is difficult to achieve anything." Su Jing leaned at the door and watched Zhu Cixiang practice martial arts. She was not interested in building a snowman at all. She couldn't help but say it when she saw Chang Yu coming. One sentence.
"He wants to be an emperor in the future. Why should he be so accomplished?" Chang Yu smiled and said, "In ancient times, which emperor needed strong martial arts skills?"
"Zhao Kuangyin, the ancestor of the Song Dynasty, was the great master of martial arts. Many martial arts schools in later generations, such as boxing, stick, sword, and spear techniques, all evolved from Taizu's long fist and whistle stick. You still say that there is no emperor with strong martial arts?" Su Jingyi Pouring his lips, Chang Yu was startled and then said: "What I said is that being an emperor does not require strong martial arts. He did not say that there is no emperor with strong martial arts. Besides, Zhao Kuangyin came from a family of military generals and spent his life in the military. He was not born to be an emperor. , He wants to fight for his own world, but this person in front of him is that martial arts training is dispensable to him..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Cixiang heard it and interrupted him unconvinced: "I know I have no talent at all, but hard work can make up for my shortcomings. I believe I will achieve something in the future." Chang Yu couldn't help laughing: "Talent is something that cannot be acquired through hard work. It is good that hard work can make up for a flaw, but it is just a matter of making up for a flaw."
"What do you mean?" Zhu Cixiang was very unhappy and felt that his enthusiasm was dampened. Chang Yu walked over and patted his shoulders and said: "Young man, it is your biggest responsibility to be a good emperor in the future. As for civil and military matters, like If you want, just have fun, there is no need to plunge in and play with things to lose your mind. For example, Song Huizong's thin golden body is unparalleled in the world, but what the emperor did... Hey, if you want to practice martial arts, it's enough. As Su Jing said, you won't achieve much. Yes, even if you do, there is no need to become invincible in the world. You can still go out in the world. Of course, this kind of self-discipline is still good. You may not be able to practice peerless martial arts, but you can strengthen your body and prolong your life."
Zhu Cixiang was confused by what he said, but he didn't know how to refute it for a moment. He just clicked his tongue: "I know that practicing martial arts can strengthen the body, but it can prolong life..."
Chang Yu interrupted him: "If you are healthy and don't get sick, you can live a long time. If you don't exercise every day as an emperor...ahem, you have to exercise more. Look, those who don't exercise and only take elixirs only live a few years. Oh, relatively speaking, the immediate emperors in the past dynasties lived relatively longer. The distant Liu Bang and Liu Che lived to be sixty or seventy, Kublai Khan lived to be eighty, the recent Emperor Taizu of our dynasty lived to be seventy-one, and Chengzu lived Sixty-five..."
Before he finished speaking, Sujing sneered next to him: "Why don't you talk about Tang Zong and Song Zu? One is fifty-one and the other is fifty. Among them, Song Zu is also a peerless great master. Both of them are immediate emperors."
"You are trying to make trouble today, aren't you?" Chang Yu said with a slightly embarrassed face: "Then Song Zu died normally, don't you know the sound of the ax and the shadow of the candle?" Then he said to Zhu Cihong: "Don't listen to his nonsense, just Speaking of our dynasty, after Taizu and Chengzu, apart from Emperor Shizong (Jiajing) who lived for sixty and Emperor Shenzong (Wanli) who lived for fifty-eight, there were very few people over forty, mostly in their twenties and thirties. What does it mean?"
Zhu Cixi's facial features twisted into a ball: "What does it mean? You don't exercise?"
Chang Yu agreed: "At least it has a lot to do with this. He loses his composure by playing with things and lacks self-discipline."
Zhu Cixi curled his lips: "Do you know the crime of making false opinions?"
"Don't blame me. This is not called arbitrary discussion. This is called..."
"Yes, yes, I know what you want to say. Don't worry, I can't become a peerless master, but I will maintain this kind of self-discipline and keep exercising every day. Even after I become an emperor in the future, I will maintain it... Hey, you
Why don’t you advise my father to exercise as well?”
Chang Yu rolled his eyes: "I've said it myself, but it's one thing whether the Holy One will listen or not. I can't force him."
"That's right, you can force me." Zhu Cixiang smiled bitterly and shook his head. Everyone laughed together. They all felt that the present time was the best. Now the prince was approachable and could joke with them. I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to do this when he became the emperor in the future.
After breakfast, Chang Yu went to the yamen for inspection. In fact, there was not much work in the small county that he could handle personally. Every governor, prefect, and magistrate of each prefecture had been repeatedly beaten when he passed by. They found that the officials were lazy and mediocre.
The responsibility is assigned to each person, level by level.
At half noon, Chang Yu and his entourage left the city and headed south. The weather was gloomy and cold, and the wind was howling. Several women from Kunxing were afraid of the cold and hid in the car and could not get out. Zhu Cixiang was so happy that he rode horses and went hunting in the fields with his guards. It snowed heavily yesterday.
It didn't rain for long, and the snow on the ground was only up to the ankles. According to Chen Ruxin, in previous years it would often snow up to the knees.
Chang Yu was also very interested in bowing and riding the horse and gained a lot. He practiced hard with Kuang Ren for more than half a year and now his archery skills are considered to be proficient. Although his skills are not as good as Kuang Renchi Qingshi, he can still achieve three arrows in a row.
Zhu Cixiang, who was able to fire arrows without missing a beat, was already considered the best among dozens of personal guards. As soon as he made a move, Zhu Cixiang exclaimed: "This is a magical skill."
This made Chang Yu blush a little: "Little Ji'er, it's hard for everyone to hear."
"It's rare for you to be humble," Zhu Cixi said with a smile, "I have never seen anyone with a better archery skill than Ku Ren, but I think you are not far behind him."
"There are people outside the sky, and there are mountains beyond the mountains." Chang Yu raised his eyes and looked at the mountains everywhere: "One mountain is higher than the other, and Kuang Ren's archery skills are not as good as those halfway up the mountain."
"Oh, I heard what you said. I have seen other masters at that time. With your cherished talent, why didn't you... Could it be a thief?" Zhu Cixiang reacted quickly. Chang Yu nodded: "During the Taiyuan War, I almost lost my life several times with his arrows.
Down".
Zhu Cixiang was shocked and silent, and Chang Yu shrugged: "Sooner or later we will still have a battle with him. If we can't get him into the trap, we will kill him quickly." He then asked everyone: "Who have the best archery skills you have seen and heard?"
"The one who saw it with his own eyes was Kuang Ren. The rest were Dayi shooting the sun? Li Guang shooting the tiger into the stone by three points?" Zhu Cihong said.
Chang Yu smiled and said nothing, and Wang Zhengnan added: "Could it be Yang Youji? I heard that he was a general of the Chu State in the Spring and Autumn Period who was famous for his marksmanship."
"Yes, yes, yes, Yang Youji" Zhu Cixiang also remembered. Chang Yu shook his head and asked, "Have you read the history of Song Dynasty?" Zhu Cixiang nodded: "You have read some."
"Have you read the 94th "Zhongpu Biography" in the 335th volume of the Song Dynasty?
Zhu Cixiang shook his head: "But I have heard of this man, could it be that he is also good at bow shooting?"
"It's not him, but his subordinate general Wang Shunchen"
How awesome Wang Shunchen is can be seen from the name given to him by netizens in later generations, Gatling in the Song Dynasty! His archery skills have reached the level of miraculous skills. To him, things like piercing a Yang Yang with a hundred steps are child's play. He once used
His own power influenced a great battle. It is said that when the Song army encountered thousands of Qiang cavalry soldiers, they fled in panic and were defeated before their eyes. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Wang Shunchen shot the enemy between the eyebrows. This was the Qiang cavalry rear.
The seven men were the first to pursue him. He hit three of them between their eyebrows, and the remaining four fled in terror. The morale of the army was greatly shaken. They fought with the Qiang cavalry for more than two hours. Wang Shunchen fired more than a thousand arrows and killed countless enemies. He won the hard battle... In other words, the battle lasted for four hours.
In more than an hour, Wang Shunchen shot thousands of arrows. Some people in later generations thought that the historical data was exaggerated, because on average, he shot 4.17 arrows in one minute, which is equivalent to shooting one arrow in 14.4 seconds. Considering the time consumed in changing equipment, his frequency was extremely high.
It's possible to shoot an arrow higher than ten seconds.
But then an athlete who played archery thought it was entirely possible. Personally, he could shoot a hundred groups of six arrows in one afternoon. Although he was tired, he could persevere. Although today's bows are not as hard and labor-saving as those in ancient times, amateur athletes
It is incomparable with professional soldiers, and one is playing while the other is working hard to stimulate unlimited potential. Moreover, Wang Shunchen is a partial general and there must be soldiers beside him to change his bow and arrows, and historical data also records that at that time, he "cracked his fingers"
, blood flowing to the elbow”
Overall, it can be seen that Wang Shunchen's archery skills are not only accurate, but also fast, ruthless, and hard! He has practiced his archery skills to the extreme.
After hearing what Chang Yu said, everyone was dumbfounded and admired him. Zhu Cixiang kept asking: "You are a liar, how can you read so many books when you are obviously illiterate? How can you find the time to read books when you fight every day..."
"
We were chatting, laughing and chasing each other all the way before we entered the mountain unknowingly. Looking around, everything was covered in silver except for the cliff. It was completely empty and lonely. It really felt like a thousand birds flying across the mountains.
As evening approached, they were about to enter Jiexiu on the mountain pass. Zhu Cixiang asked if he wanted to go into the city to rest before leaving tomorrow. Chang Yu shook his head: "Go into the mountain."
"You're not afraid..." Zhu Cixiang was a little worried, and Chang Yu smiled: "I said going into the mountains is not a night trip. There are good places in the mountains. I will take you to a farmhouse."
Farmhouse?
There is a mountain in the southeast of Jiexiu named Mianshan, which was originally called Jieshan. The name of the mountain comes from Jie Zitui, a child prodigy of the Jin Dynasty in the Spring and Autumn Period. There is a village at the foot of Shanxi called Jingsheng Village, also called Jingshan Village, Lingrui Township, and yes, it is Jingsheng Town in later generations.
.
Yes, this is where the Wang Family Courtyard is located with five lanes and six forts!
