Emperor's Trophy

After offering sacrifices to the ancestral temple in the palace, Ji Bingyuan took hundreds of civil and military officials, noble relatives of the court, and foreign guests to Mount Tai to worship the heavens. The chariots and guards of the envoys, who rode thousands of horses and rode mightily, are really spectacular.

Marquis Zhaoxin naturally has a special car to drive in the prescribed sequence, but it is actually empty. Ji Bingyuan had already called him to Luanjia to go with him all the way.

The emperor's imperial palace is naturally large and stable, and the scenery is very pleasant to look at, but Ji Bingyuan didn't call him here to let him look at the scenery.He only took the books and randomly checked Yun Zhen's endorsement one by one.

Yun Zhen is naturally not familiar with it, but there is a lot of time on the road, Ji Bingyuan didn't punish him, but patiently explained it to him over and over again. Forced him, changed the method, but took the history books to tell him.

This is rather interesting. Although Yunzhen knows a thing or two, but Ji Bingyuan speaks well. Many historical books mention it briefly, but he can tell many detailed allusions, and sometimes he will call Zhang Yan to come together. Let’s talk about it, Zhang Yan is knowledgeable, witty and funny, and when he talks about allusions and local legends, he is also a set, and Yun Zhen is also very interested.

Talking and laughing like this, he also briefly reviewed the history books of the previous dynasties along the way, and Yun Zhen also cast his eyes on Ji Bingyuan: "Your Majesty, why are you so familiar with history books, and even astronomy and geography."

Ji Bingyuan smiled: "I used to have nothing to do on the march, so I just recited it over and over again—there is a lot of knowledge you need to know when marching and fighting. If you don't learn it, you can't even read maps. You must know astronomy and geography. Otherwise, if you lead the team in the wilderness and get lost, it will hinder the military situation."

Yun Zhen was in awe: "On the march, you can only be tired, and you still study, how tired you are."

Ji Bingyuan said: "Only by reading can you understand the truth. Tomorrow, I will tell you about the geography, customs and customs of the Taishan generation. This is what it means to travel thousands of miles and read thousands of books. Otherwise, you just come here to climb a mountain and eat something fun." , look at the beautiful scenery, and when you go back, it will be as if you have never been here.”

Yun Zhen looked at him with a sad face: "Your Majesty, when I arrive at Mount Tai, I have to read the historical allusions, geography, human relationships, military customs and defenses about Mount Tai first, and then I have to write a few poems about Mount Tai. , this is not in vain! Then I would rather not come!"

Isn't it just to have fun when you come out to play!

How hard it is for the emperor to live like this!

Zhang Yan had already burst out laughing, forgetting that this was Yuqian: "Why is it exactly the same as the eldest princess! Back then, the eldest princess said the same thing, and she still needs to wear her head when she comes out to play? Naturally, she came here as happily as possible."

Ji Bingyuan also laughed, patted his head, and changed from the previous tough style of asking him to be one-sided when he was studying, and rarely explained: "I don't have much time to teach you on weekdays, but now I am free, so I will teach you more. , your mother has no other choice. You are now well-clothed and well-fed. If you don’t know how to learn, you can’t do much. You are still young. After learning your homework and forming a habit, it’s a natural thing. It will make you feel happy."

Hearing his gentle explanation, Yun Zhen suddenly blushed, and said in a low voice: "I know the truth, and what the emperor said is very good, I like to hear it." After playing for several lifetimes, it was too difficult for him to settle down and study up!The emperor took care of everything every day, and still tried to teach him in such a different way. If he didn't pay attention, he would really be useless.

Zhang Yan suddenly said sternly: "It's because I didn't do my best to teach Lord Hou. The emperor said so, and I feel ashamed and regretful." Very promising.

Yun Zhen stuck out his tongue: "Hey, it's all because of my naughtiness, Mr. Zhang, don't blame yourself, I still remember that you asked me to endorse the book, I recited it blindly, and ruined the manuscript you wrote for a long time, mother You even punished me, and later you were too busy, and my mother felt that I was overqualified, so she didn't let you teach me."

Zhang Yan became emotional, and he couldn't help but vividly narrated Yun Zhen's past mischief and the eldest princess's doting: "I sued the eldest princess, and the eldest princess took Ji Xianger to scold him first, stood against the wall, and held him in his arms. Here comes the ruler! When I read your homework, I will punish you! Then she took Ji Xianger's homework and looked at it, and turned to me and said: "Mr. Zhang! I think this is well written! No need to punish me!" Much better than mine!"

Ji Bingyuan laughed, and Yun Zhen also laughed so hard: "Yes, every time my mother reads my handwriting, she always says, "It's very good, very good. Don't you recite it all? Isn't that okay? My son is smart! My father just Said, I’m still young, it’s fine when I grow up, I didn’t understand anything when I was young, but when I grow up, I’m enlightened, and I can read everything! Ji Xiang’er is my child, so how bad is talent? The first time I heard my parents talk, I always felt that I was very smart, talented, and confident."

Ji Bingyuan smiled and patted his head: "Actually, your parents are right. Ji Xianger is talented and intelligent. If you study hard, you will become a master."

Yun Zhen was blushed by his sudden praise, and suddenly felt ashamed in his heart, feeling that he who was reborn and still so ignorant was greatly unworthy of the emperor's praise, so he couldn't say anything.

After this day, Yun Zhen really took a lot more seriously, no longer as if he had tasted the bitter medicine in the past, and he could quickly memorize what he had taught.

Zhang Yan looked at the emperor's hand from the side, and he couldn't help but admire the emperor's good teaching. You must know how difficult it was for the young master to teach when he was young!Yun Tanhua is self-reliant on her talent, and spoils her children, while the eldest princess knows nothing about learning. She is very happy when she sees a child who can write a word. She has extremely low requirements for her children. Let it go.Seeing the couple doting too much, and the child growing into a real dude in the mansion, he just let go of it - he didn't expect that the child was finally won back by the emperor.

As soon as I saw it, I went to the Xinggong Suxia in Fenggao County at the foot of Mount Tai, and fasted for seven days according to the ancient ritual.

In addition to summoning the vassal kings of Ludi, the sheriffs of the three prefectures, the inspectors, the chief secretary and other local officials here during the day, Ji Bingyuan really took the emperor's sacrificial rites from the past dynasties of Mount Tai, and all dynasties and dynasties The poems and essays written by the famous Confucian masters came, and I taught Yun Zhen carefully.

In the early morning of the sixth day, the sky was still dark, but he was woken up by Qingsong. He only said that the emperor had called, and a group of servants came up to serve him, changed into light robes and light boots, surrounded him and went out to the dining room.

Sure enough, Yun Zhen saw that Ji Bingyuan had also changed into a neat and simple black casual clothes. His tall and majestic body showed a heroic look that was completely different from the majestic demeanor of emperors in ordinary times. Where are you going?"

Ji Bingyuan said: "Tomorrow is the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, and one sacrifice will last for three days. There will be many people and all kinds of ceremonies, and there will be nothing to see at the Fengchan Terrace. Tonight I will take you to the top to watch the sun rise."

Yun Zhen was overjoyed, and sure enough, after having some breakfast with Ji Bingyuan, he came out to ride a horse for a while, and he arrived at the foot of the mountain. The shadow of the mountain was majestic in the thick night, and he saw many guards from the Longxiang Camp standing on both sides of the mountain road. The mountains and roads have already been closed to worship the heavens, and the surrounding area is quiet.

Ji Bingyuan rolled over and led him all the way up the mountain path.

On the pitch-black mountain road, the two of them, one in front of the other, buried their heads in the mountain. The guard held a torch in front of them to light the way for them. Yun Zhen occasionally looked up and saw a few shimmering stars on the top of the dark blue sky. The air on the mountain was cold. Hear his own breathing and their footsteps.

The mountain road became more and more dangerous as it went up. Fortunately, after Yun Zhen was reborn this time, he devoted himself to practicing martial arts and exercising his body, so it was not too difficult to walk, but he saw Ji Bingyuan walking in front of him. Having had old injuries, I couldn't help secretly admiring him. I was young and dared not lag behind.

Mount Tai was majestic, and it became more and more steep after climbing. The guards were very nervous, but Ji Bingyuan remained calm, and even reached out to hold Yunzhen, reminding him to be careful with his steps.

After climbing for about two hours, the sky gradually began to light up, and the scenery on both sides of the mountain road gradually became clear in the morning light.

Ji Bingyuan said: "Here we are, this is Riguan Peak, the best place to watch the sunrise."

Yun Zhen crawled for a long time, and felt profusely sweating, but Ji Bingyuan still asked someone to put a cloak on him: "Catch a cold carefully."

Yun Zhen asked curiously: "Have you been here before, Your Majesty?"

Ji Bingyuan smiled and said: "Every time before worshiping the heavens, I climb the mountain by myself. This time I brought you an extra, just to let you see the scenery. Come here and see."

Yun Zhen put on his cloak and walked to his side, followed the instructions of his arm to look down, and couldn't help but let out a soft ah.

"Climb Mount Tai and make the world small".

The poems and articles that Ji Bingyuan had forced into these two days finally came out.

He really knows what a "small world" is.

Looking down from the top, the morning mist at the foot is like a sea of ​​clouds. There are mountains in the distance, countless cliffs, and where the ape and bird roads are poor, there are still infinite scenery.

He held his breath and couldn't speak, just looking at the scenery on the top that he had never seen in his life, Ji Bingyuan remained silent all the time.

Gradually the clouds and mists in the sky began to thin, and a round of red sun shone slightly, jumping out from the milky white sea of ​​clouds. Such a magnificent scene made Yun Zhen feel an indescribable joy and pride.

He turned his head to look at Ji Bingyuan, and the joy on his face infected Ji Bingyuan. Ji Bingyuan pointed down: "Have you seen the world? Do you know why I brought you here?"

Yun Zhen's mind is full of beauty, good-looking, good-looking!But when the emperor suddenly asked him, his face seemed to be frightened: "Your Majesty, don't you want me to write poems?"

Ji Bingyuan couldn't help laughing: "I told you that the higher you stand, the farther you can see - the emperors of all dynasties came here to enshrine Zen and sacrifice to the sky, because this place is high, closest to the sky, and can feel the destiny most. To be ordered by the sky, Longevity and prosperity."

"Xishan Camp is led by me personally, and Ding Dai takes command on weekdays. The children in the camp are trained under my nose, and there are martial arts exams every month and ten days, and they are sent to various places for experience. These people are the people who will come to Japan. The generals of the various armies. You went to the Xishan camp to get to know these people and form a friendship with these people."

"You have to know that learning these things can grow with age, but generals are not better than veterans. Veterans do have experience, but the courage of young generals and the desire for glory and meritorious deeds, blood, Taking risks, even being reckless, being fearless, these are more conducive to killing the enemy recklessly on the battlefield, in order to achieve the only victory."

"Your mother does have many generals under her command, and they are indeed in charge of military power in various places now."

"But they're old."

"You need your own team, to subdue, to make friends with, real talents."

"So do you understand what I mean? Do you want to go to the city over there and be a small frontier general to guard a city, or do you want to be a marshal commanding the world's soldiers and horses on the top of the mountain?"

Yun Zhen turned his face to look at Ji Bingyuan, the golden light of the newborn sun shone brightly on the emperor's face, the phoenix looked like a dragon, and he was so handsome, his heart jumped up: "Your Majesty, I want to be the commander-in-chief of the world's soldiers and horses! "
