Vicissitudes know Jinhua

Qi Wushang patted his chest in a sound of reassurance, and said: "What I teach you are all close-to-hand combat skills, the essence of thousands of honed on the battlefield, not difficult and practical!"

The two were talking while riding on the shooting range, when a small head leaned over and said, "Third brother, I want to learn."

It was Qi Shaochong who was dressed in short and eager to try.

Qi Wushang praised: "Seventh brother is doing well!"

Seeing that Qi Shaochong was so brave even when he was younger than himself, Mu Zishi had to hold his nose to catch the duck.

These moves of Qi Wushang, either with his bare hands or with a short blade, are indeed concise, ruthless and ingenious, and he strikes suddenly at inconceivable places, like a cheetah or a spirit snake, so practical that it is impossible to defend against.

Mu Zishi and Qi Shaochong stood by the side, watching him and a cavalry archer master untie the moves, it was pleasing to the eye and excited.

Although Qi Wushang's movements were fast, they were fast and not chaotic, his strength was even and accurate, and he explained every move clearly. His ape-armed waist was even more chic and neat, and he kept shouting: "Armpit!" "Chest!" "Lower belly!" "Waist eye!"

Both point to the weak point of the point.

Qi Shaohong couldn't take his eyes off, and murmured: "The third brother is really amazing..."

Although Mu Zishi snorted slightly to express his disdain, he was also envious and surprised in his heart.

Not long after, Qi Wushang stopped his hands and said with a smile: "How?"

Qi Shaochong shouted loudly: "I want to learn! I want to learn!"

Mu Zishi didn't speak, but looked at him flickeringly, quite tempted.

At that moment Qi Wushang smiled complacently, and taught them each move in detail.

When Qi Wushang made his move, he felt neat and good-looking, seemingly effortless, but when it was his turn to learn by himself, he knew that it would be difficult to achieve his level.

Every gesture, every move, seemed simple, but it was condensed from the blood of the corpse.Even a single finger must coordinate with the whole body and limbs. How to punch, how to step, how to turn around, how to hook, how to aim at the head, retract and release strength, angle trajectory, timing and speed, all of which are extremely delicate and precise. .

After a meal, Qi Shaochong vaguely grasped some tricks, but Mu Zishi suddenly realized: Even if he chopped himself up and stewed with spiced star anise, it was not this dish!

Since Mu Zishi entered the East Palace, his aptitude and talent have surprised a group of officials who are used to seeing talents. There is no need to elaborate on government affairs, but just calligraphy and painting. Fat and thin, Jun Duan is handy, sailing smoothly and making great strides, rising slowly as if he will be the young minister next to the young emperor in the future.

But at this moment, Mu Zishi was like a goblin struck by lightning, with all his magic power dissipated, showing his weak original form. As for martial arts, Mu Zishi was not only inferior in aptitude, but also irreparably inferior.

So Mu Zishi simply let go and turned around: "I'm going back to Zhaoxu Hall, Your Highness Seventh, son, you take your time."

As soon as he took a step, Qi Wushang grabbed his neck and said, "Hey, why don't you learn?"

Mu Zishi sighed: "Do you think... I can learn it well?"

Qi Wushang was startled, squeezed his arms and legs, and flicked his forehead again: "Difficult."

Seeing Mu Zishi thoughtful, he smiled and said, "But if you follow me to the border town and practice hard for ten years, you can become a pawn."

Mu Zishi sneered: "Pawn? Should I first thank His Royal Highness for looking up to you?"

Qi Shao hurriedly jumped over and interjected: "The queen mother told my father that day that the year after next year will coincide with the Dabi, and if Zishi wants to directly participate in this Qiuwei, he must go to Guibang High School...Third brother, my fourth brother is Prince Chu, Zishi is the prime minister, so he wouldn't go to the border town with you."

Mu Zishi raised his chin, snorted coldly again, and flicked his sleeves: "Vulgar martial artist!"

Since the founding of Daning, they have followed the principle of fighting with the people's livelihood and fighting for military affairs. In the Yongxi period, although King Fengjing and the emperor were very close, the style of emphasizing civility and despising military affairs has not diminished. Even the border generals are also two distinct factions One faction, such as Yu Chan, belongs to the family of generals, and the other is the military and civil servants, and the reputation in the court is obviously more inclined to the latter. Tao Ruopu, the uncle of the third son of the emperor, Qi Hefeng, is the Minister of the Ministry of War, but he was also the second in the imperial examination in the ninth year of Yongxi. , Grant Jinshi background.

Therefore, although Mu Zishi's vulgar and vulgar sentence is disrespectful, it still adheres to the consistent style of the court. Qi Wushang has a big heart anyway, and those who have led the army have heard a lot of swear words , why do you care about such a bland sentence?

But looking at Qi Shaochong's face of being wary of the kidnappers and seeming to be facing a big enemy, Qi Wu couldn't help but wonder in sadness, how come the two brothers even protect food in exactly the same way?

It was already the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month when Qi Wushang left Beijing this time, Qi Shaochong came to pester him every afternoon to practice martial arts in the riding and archery range for more than a month. Qi Wushang looked at him with admiration.

Mu Zishi had a lot of fun during this time, Qi Wushang had virtually deprived him of the position of riding and archery master, Mu Zishi only needed to go to the training ground every day, and he could escape quietly, and Qi Wushang finished teaching Qi Shaochong After that, they would take him out of the palace quietly, wandering and having fun in Zhuque Street, Tianshui Street, Luogu Street, and even playing until the palace door was locked at night, Qi Wushang carried him on his back, wrapped his cloak, and stepped on the ground Moonlight returns to the East Palace.

In the evening of that day, the two walked to Huaishu Alley on Tianshui Street. That alley was the most lively and crowded. I have been in the palace for a long time, but the pain of being under house arrest in the outskirts of the city when I was young can't be erased, so when I was carrying someone behind my back, I was very greedy, and Qi Wushang's taste was even more popular among the market, so the two went straight Those tartlets went for the fried fish.

The fruit pie is apple stuffing, ten yuan or two, hot, sandy and sweet, Mu Zishi ate happily, gnawed with his left hand and right hand in turn, Qi Wushang said: "Slow down, Am I going to rob you?"

Mu Zishi raised his head and smiled, but when he glanced around, he saw a few people coming out of the jewelry shop opposite, hurriedly pointing at a person in a cherry red dress and whispering: "Shizifei..."

Qi Wushang turned around sharply with a piece of cake in his mouth: "Let's go!"

Pulling Mu Zishi's wrist, he ran away.

Yu Jianguan had beautiful eyes and good eyesight, seeing Qi Wushang hurriedly shouted: "Hey! Come here!"

Qi Wushang over there has already galloped away with Mu Zishi on his shoulders.

Yu Jianguan pursed his lips into a smile, and went home to praise Mrs. Yu generously, Wushang: "Your Majesty is very good...you're still shy."

Qi Wushang ran a full block before stopping. Mu Zishi didn't have enough pies, and as soon as his feet hit the ground, he scolded loudly: "Will Yu Jianguan eat people? Could it be that you run around like a mouse when you go into battle?" ?”

Qi Wushang was stunned for a moment, and said, "Yes, what am I running for?"

Mu Zishi snorted: "Isn't it just a woman! I think you will be Chen Jichang again once you get married."

Qi Wushang reluctantly retorted: "I'm not afraid... It's just that this, this one in the downtown area is protecting her boudoir reputation."

Mu Zishi looked at him and smiled straight up, the corners of his lips were raised, soft and clear like willow buds falling into the water, but the front of his words was sharp and shining like ice on the eaves: "It's nothing to be afraid of Madam, there are many pioneers of this way, In the Sui Dynasty there was Yang Jian, in the Tang Dynasty there was Ren Huan, one emperor and one king, are you afraid that if you are wronged, you will not be hurt? Besides, there are three things that women should be afraid of. If you marry a Bodhisattva for the first time, you must respect and fear him; Afraid of it, when the face is wrinkled like a ghost, trembling and trembling, so why is it so strange to be afraid of women?"

Qi Wushang poked his face with shaking fingers: "One day you will leave Chenjing and fall into my hands!"

Mu Zishi dodged with a smile, but asked: "You are married...will you come back in the future?"

A warm light flashed through Qi Wushang's eyes: "Do you miss me?"

Mu Zishi said: "I'm very happy to see you, but I don't want to see you."

Qi Wushang rubbed his chin, thinking: "That's not bad, how about it, I promise you, I will come back to see you every three years."

Mu Zishi nodded heavily: "That's great!"

Blooming autumn cool ginseng did not come out of the business, three years later Qi Wushang did not return to Chenjing as promised, and several years later, Qi Wushang held the short knife with his own name on it, as if he was in doubt from a lifetime ago.

The cavalry followers who had followed him for more than ten years and had never seen the newly crowned King of Western Wei cry, found that his eyes were red in an instant.

In the 22nd year of Yongxi's reign, large grassland forces gathered on the Yongliang border, and Qi Wushang had nothing to do with himself. He only entrusted the envoy to Beijing to bring some gadgets to Mu Zishi, but he didn't know that at this moment, the Dajing Palace in Chenjing was about to be stormy and turbulent. Deceitful, not inferior to the iron hooves, strong bows, swords, swords and shadows on the frontier.

The Tao family's painstaking efforts for many years have shown a trend of ecstasy even though it has not been published. Qi and Feng changed their previous style of only working hard on women's writing and ink.

Qi Jin had to be overjoyed when the prince made progress, and even though the Ministry of Rites was the head of the six ministries, it was a bit nobler and more vain than the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War. Putting Qi and Feng in the Ministry of Rites was not a big deal.

While Qi Jin is busy with state affairs, he still has to concentrate on guarding against Dow's every move—even though the attack of poisonous snakes is terrifying, but dormant and waiting for an opportunity is even more disturbing.

But at this time, Qi Yupei's illness came like a mountain, and in just a few months, he looked like he had run out of oil and the lamp was dying.

Qi Yupei's illness was getting worse and worse, but he protected Mu Zishi very well. He drank the medicine and felt a little better today, so he told Mu Zishi to go to Liangyi Palace together.

Qi Yupei couldn't walk anymore, so he had to ride on a chariot. Mu Zishi grew a lot, like a tall and straight green jade pen holder, and the baby fat on his cheeks faded a little. He sat beside the prince, just silent, One hand held Qi Yupei's hand tightly under the sable fur.

The flesh on Qi Yupei's hands was all thin, and the long and thin bones were like charcoal fire soaked in water. It was hot and humid. Mu Zishi pursed his lips, looked at Qi Yupei's bloodless face, and said hesitantly: " Your Highness...what are you going to Liangyi Palace for? What did Sun Yuanzheng say when he took his pulse in the morning?"

Qi Yupei said indifferently: "You don't have to worry about these things. When you get to your mother's place, don't always stand by my side like you used to. You have to say in front of your mother: I heard that His Highness the Seventh Prince read Zuo Zhuan recently, and he has some meanings to discuss... ...then go straight to the side hall where Shao Chong lives."

Mu Zishi is as sensitive as a civet cat, and at the end of Qingping, he can distinguish the wind. Although Qi Yupei behaves as usual and treats people in the same way, Mu Zishi has long discovered that the prince is seriously ill this year. Degong, from Prince Gong and other princes to the various families in the court, are like everything after the Waking of Insects, ready to move, bright or dark, good or evil, each with their own plans and thoughts.

Mu Zishi was already extremely uneasy and worried, but at this moment, when he heard Qi Yupei's words, he seemed to be asking for help. He couldn't help but burst into tears, and choked up, "Don't drive me away...Your Highness, what did you say six years ago? But let me follow you, you won't lie to me."

Qi Yupei stared at him almost greedily, seeing tears flow from his eyes, wet his eyelashes, slide down his cheeks to his chin, and drop drops onto the back of his hand, he sighed in a low voice: "Zi Shi, if I can How wonderful it would be to watch you grow up... It's a pity that I don't have that blessing."

Mu Zishi cried out: "Don't talk nonsense! I will be the chief assistant of your cabinet in the future!"

Qi Yupei murmured: "The chief minister of the cabinet? Taking you back to the East Palace may have harmed you..."

After speaking, his breath was unsteady, and he didn't say much anymore, he just closed his eyes to rest, but the chariot suddenly stopped, and only one person said with a smile: "The fourth emperor is going to greet the queen mother?"

He Bao'er hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness Prince Gong will see you outside."

Qi Yupei weakly rolled up the car curtain, did not get up, just smiled and said: "Brother Sanhuang, I don't feel well, so I won't get out of the car."

Qi Hefeng raised his brows, and his smile was even more hearty: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, the fourth emperor will take good care of it! It's almost winter now, so you have to be more careful."

He said that he was really happy in his heart, and couldn't help but said: "Last year, the concubine mother said to choose a concubine for the fourth emperor, but the emperor said that you are too weak to marry early, alas... in the current situation, it is not possible to marry early What a bad thing."

Mu Zishi heard that his words had the intention of cursing Qi Yupei to die early, he was angry and hated, and there was a sense of fear, fearing that it was true, he clenched his fists and said in a trembling voice: "Third Highness..."

Qi Yupei frowned slightly, knowing that his opening would definitely provoke Qi Hefeng to jump their feet and make enemies for nothing, so he quickly pressed down with one hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Sanhuang rarely enters the palace, so let's go and see the imperial concubine first."

Qi Hefeng was also rude, looked up and down at Mu Zishi who was trembling all over, and left with a sneer.
