Zhao Junsheng raised his hand to show that he was ready. The guards standing behind the horses raised their whips and beat the horses vigorously. The horses screamed in pain and galloped forward. The targets were on the horses. Ups and downs.

When the last horse also galloped away, the flag bearer next to him waved the flag vigorously.

"Drive—" Zhao Junsheng yelled, shook the reins with his left hand, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and the horse rushed out like an arrow off the string.

He put the rein on the saddle with his left hand, quickly took out the riding bow from the bow bag, and took out an arrow from his back around his shoulder with his right hand, put it on the bowstring and pulled it away. Draw the bow and release the arrow, and so on.

After only a hundred steps, Zhao Junsheng reined in his horse and stopped, and all the arrows in the quiver had been shot.

After a while, the guard who counted the results shouted: "Thirty arrows, all of them hit the ten rings!"

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

"Papapa..." The guards, maids and eunuchs cheered thunderously, but the applause disappeared.

Everyone in the world hopes that the king will be strong and energetic. Only in this way can the king be able to

Dagan has inherited the tradition of cavalry in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and even surpassed it. More than [-]% of the country's soldiers and horses are cavalry. An unprecedentedly powerful military force.

In Dagan, every household has at least one horse. The Dagan Horse Administration stipulates that a family can raise a horse with ten acres of land, and the minimum arable land area of ​​a family is [-] acres. When you go to the field to mow grass every day, you can raise a horse, a cow, and three sheep.

Therefore, after more than ten years of continuous improvement, Dagan Horse Management has been very perfect. Even children of a few years old have had experience of riding a horse as long as they have just learned to walk. By the age of six or seven, most children can already The gallop of freedom.

This has made Daqian's cavalry far more effective in riding and shooting than in any previous era, and many super-level cavalry and archers have emerged, and there are not a few people with riding and shooting skills like Zhao Junsheng.

For this reason, Dagan officials also hold a national riding and archery competition every year to encourage them. The top few with the highest riding and archery skills will be specially recruited into the army. In the process, everyone can also get rich rewards.

Zhao Junsheng got off the horse, took off the wrench on his thumb and put it in the tray held by the eunuch next to him, put down the whip as well, picked up a towel and wiped his hands and face.

"This riding and shooting still needs to be practiced frequently to maintain the state and feeling. If you don't practice often, your hands will become rusty after a long time, and your feeling will also deteriorate!"

Next to the third prince, Zhao Ping, King of Shu, said: "Father is right, my son practiced for an hour every afternoon!"

Zhao Junsheng had a strange expression on his face: "It's not a holiday today, why don't you go to the Imperial City Division to sit in town, what are you doing here?"

Zhao Ping cupped his hands and said, "Father, I feel that the case of Ahe Tan Wuye is a spy case and should be investigated by the Imperial City Division, so please order the Ministry of Criminal Justice to transfer the case to the Imperial City Division!"

Zhao Junsheng looked up at his son, "You want to ask me about this kind of thing? You won't go to the Ministry of Punishment to discuss it yourself?"

"Father, the ministers have gone, but they brought out your order, saying that this case is investigated by the Criminal Department of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs!"

Zhao Junsheng motioned to the eunuchs next to him to remove his armor, and said, "At the beginning, this case was filed as an assassination case, but the difference is that the deceased was an envoy of a vassal state. So far, the Ministry of Criminal Justice has investigated this case." Now, Ah and Tan Wuye are being arrested, why are you Huangcheng Secretary running out to join in the fun at this time?"

"Father, these two people have been running away for several days, and they haven't been caught yet. The big manhunt is over, so we can't keep the city gates closed to prevent the people from leaving the city, right? The Serious Crimes Department's contribution is just to close the case earlier, and besides, it is the duty of the Imperial City Division to investigate such cases, and there is no such thing as stealing credit. The Imperial City Division only needs to investigate the case, and the credit goes to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. ?”

Zhao Junsheng thought about it for a while, "How about this, let the Serious Crimes Department of the Criminal Ministry and the Imperial City Division jointly investigate this case! It is true that the city gate cannot be closed forever, and the people still need to make a living. If the city gate is closed for a long time, many people Your livelihood will be cut off! I will issue an order to the gate guard of the left prison, today is the last day, and tomorrow will open the city gate as usual!"

"Thank you, Father, I will go to the Serious Cases Department of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to discuss joint handling of the case!"

Zhao Junsheng looked at the back of the youngest son leaving happily, and shook his head. This son is still very aggressive in doing things, but he just doesn't know how to handle it properly. No matter how many legitimate reasons the Imperial City Division has, at this time, meddling in the past will undoubtedly cause dissatisfaction from the entire Ministry of Criminal Affairs. If the Imperial City Division does not take credit, it is no wonder that the people in the Criminal Department will believe it. It also has the advantage of gaining reputation. Those people in the Ministry of Criminal Justice are not fools, and they must be very upset when they eat half of the fat in their mouths.

The voices of the eunuchs and court ladies came from behind: "Greetings, Empress Empress, Lord Suiyang!"

"Be flat!"

Hua Mulan and Wan Yutong came forward to make a Wanfu ceremony: "The concubine has seen Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng turned around and saw Wan Yutong following Hua Mulan, he said angrily, "What are you doing?"

Hua Mulan stood up and waved her hands, and the eunuchs and maids retreated one after another.

Hua Mulan said with a smile: "What's the matter, are you still angry? You are not small, a big man and the king of a country, why bother to stay angry with me for so long?"

Zhao Junsheng retorted: "What's the matter with the big man, what's the matter with the king of a country? I'm not a human anymore? The mud bodhisattva still has a three-point fire nature! It's fine if you open your mouth to teach me like your son. My wife, it’s okay to give way, pamper, and spoil yourself. It’s okay to be wronged, but you have to judge the occasion! I’m not saying that you are getting more and more shameless, you can ask your mother if she has Said that I am too used to you, you go ask!"

Hua Mulan was very wronged, Zhao Junsheng had never spoken to her in such a strong tone, tears flowed down her face like she didn't want money.

Wan Yutong quickly smoothed things over: "Zhao Junsheng, don't talk about Mulan like that, she didn't do it on purpose that day, she was worried about my safety, and I have to stand by her side in this matter, although she shouldn't be in front of so many courtiers. Let’s talk about you, but it’s been several days, why can’t you let go of your anger?”

Zhao Junsheng sat down on the stone bench next to him, "Tell me, what's the matter with you two coming together today? If it's just because I'm angry with Mulan, you two wouldn't come together either! Please move you There are not many Miss Wan in this big country, and Mulan will definitely not ask you to come forward because of my affair with her!"

Wan Yutong looked at Hua Mulan, who had wiped away her tears and nodded slightly.

Wan Yutong said: "You have imprisoned Gao Xiu's daughter Gao Jinzhi in the prison for several days. A girl has not committed any serious mistakes. She must have suffered a lot in the prison. You know how wronged she must be." ?"

Zhao Junsheng picked up the teacup and took a sip, "How much suffering and grievance have you suffered?"

Hua Mulan and Wan Yutong were speechless.

Zhao Junsheng said: "Gao Xiu begged you to come forward to intercede, right? Why didn't he come by himself?"

Hua Mulan said to Wan Yutong: "Yutong, sit down too, sit down and talk!"

Wan Yutong had to sit with Hua Mulan opposite Zhao Junsheng.

Hua Mulan said: "The person involved in this matter is his daughter, how could he come to plead with you in person?"

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while, and then ordered the eunuch next to him: "Pass on my oral order, let Gao Xiu come to see me!"

"promise!"

Soon, Gao Xiu, who was worried in his heart, came.

"Chen Gaoxiu sees Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and Lord Suiyang!"

Wan Yutong stood up and made a blessing, "I've seen General Gao!"

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand: "Be flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Gao Xiu, how many children do you have?"

"Return to Your Majesty, one son and one daughter!"

"The son is serving in the frontier?"

"Yes!"

Zhao Junsheng pondered for a while and asked, "Do you know why I put your daughter Gao Jinzhi in the prison?"

"I have heard that the little girl has a naughty nature. Not only did she sneak into the army, but she also refused to obey orders, which almost put Lord Suiyang in danger. This is all due to my lax discipline!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "You are the leader of the army. If she is not your daughter, but just the daughter of an ordinary family, how should she be dealt with based on what she has done?"

Sweat broke out on Gao Xiu's forehead, and he said a word with difficulty while holding his fist: "Cut!"

Hua Mulan next to her said at this time: "If she was just a daughter of an ordinary family, she would not have the guts to sneak into the Shenwu Army!"
