seven steps

fleeting time

November of the 42nd year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. ○The teaching ground in Kamiko Castle.Lead the princes and guards who are good at shooting.The upper hand shoots twice, and all the arrows are hit.Finished shooting.Back to the palace last time.

The city of Beijing in November is shrouded in a world of ice and snow.The whiteness everywhere adds a bit of cleanliness to this bloody city.

During this year, Kangxi didn't put his mind on riding and shooting, and even the tour outside the Great Wall was much shorter than in previous years.The beginning of this year is followed by funerals, plus the Suo'etu incident.Kangxi has always been in a bad mood.Now it's winter, but it's rare to have the interest to go riding and shooting. The elder brothers and ministers naturally seized the opportunity to flatter and show off.

However, everyone couldn't help but slander in their hearts. This winter is simply to make people suffer. How can they draw their bows when their hands are stiff.The children of the Eight Banners have long been no longer the blood-blooded race galloping on the grasslands. Now they are pampered and pampered, and they are more precious than those Han sons.Now this solar term, who else would practice bowing, all of them are nestling in their houses with hand stoves.

Even an active elder brother like Shisan couldn't help complaining to Yinzhen with his hands on the stove. "What's wrong with Huang Ama, I'm going to shoot arrows in the winter. I don't know if it's really out of interest or deliberately tormenting us."

Yinzhen glanced at him.The pen in his hand still kept going, "It's true that you don't talk nonsense. It's up to you to talk about what Huang Ama does? You don't have a gatekeeper in your mouth, and you are not afraid that your words will be passed on in the future. Go, then there will be good fruits for you to eat."

Yinxiang giggled twice, and said flatteringly, "My good fourth brother, my brother didn't just talk about it here, and he wasn't short-hearted. How could he talk nonsense in other places. If it's true, there is no one Look in your eyes, can my brother still live to this day?"

Hearing what he said, Yinzhen also put down the pen in his hand, "I see that you are more and more courageous now, and you dare to say anything with me."

Yinxiang didn't have a playful smile at this meeting, and corrected his expression, "What the fourth brother said, if there is really no one to talk, then I will really suffocate to death. It is better to let the fourth brother tell the younger brother to tell the truth. Fourth brother Don't hurt your brother any more."

Yinzhen also knew his situation. Originally, the mother concubine was just a concubine with a very low status and was not eye-catching. If the emperor Amado ignored it, the people below didn't care. It's better, when the National People's Congress is grown up, Huang Ama's bright temper suits Huang Ama's appetite, so she pays more attention, but people's hearts are separated by belly, the more they are like this, the more they don't even have anyone to talk to.Simply don't say anything more.It's just that I didn't hear anything.

Yinxiang put down the stove in his hand and said, "Fourth brother, you haven't practiced riding and shooting for a while."

Yinzhen nodded.

"Then if tomorrow..." He didn't need to finish the rest of the sentence, Yinzhen also understood.He wanted to say that if his grades were too poor tomorrow, he would inevitably be scolded.

"Don't worry, the fourth brother knows that he doesn't care about cavalry and shooting emperor Ama. As long as it is acceptable, you should worry about yourself. Look at how curled up you are now, you can't wait to wrap yourself in another quilt If you lose your hand tomorrow, you will see how Huang Ama will cut you."

One sentence made Yinxiang bitter. Although he is good at riding and shooting, he really hasn't practiced much these days. If he doesn't perform well tomorrow, he will inevitably be scolded. God knows that the old man has not been very happy this year.

"Fourth brother can save younger brother when the time comes."

Yinzhen snorted and said, "How about I save you now."

Although Yinxiang was puzzled, he couldn't stop nodding.

"You took the stove, took off your cloak, and stood outside in the snow for a few hours in unlined clothes. I promise you don't have to go tomorrow. Huang Ama won't blame me yet."

Yinxiang pursed his mouth, this fourth brother, it's really cool to be humorous at this time.

Early the next morning, Kangxi took all his elder brothers and ministers to the school grounds.

The prince was the first to play, not to mention that although the prince is extravagant and dissipated on weekdays, he did not neglect his riding and archery skills at all, presumably it was also the reason why famous teachers gave birth to excellent apprentices.The prince has laid a good foundation since he was a child.Now three shots and three hits, without deviation.Kangxi couldn't help but nodded in approval.Even those elder brothers who disliked the prince couldn't help applauding.If I have been abandoned for so long, I don't know what it will look like.

Eldest elder brother was the second to play, perhaps the crown prince had just hit three out of three shots, and even if he hit three hearts like this now, he could not show any advantage, so after the first arrow hit the heart, the second arrow directly hit the first one. When the arrow fell, everyone applauded. Li Dequan beside Kangxi couldn't help taking a peek at Kangxi's expression. Seeing his expression, he was neither praising nor annoyed, but he didn't know how to figure it out. The arrow knocked down the second arrow.The crown prince was a little helpless, but Kangxi still had no expression at all.Li Dequan couldn't help sighing secretly, this elder brother doesn't know how to be a minister at all.Too sharp.

The third elder brother is a weak scholar, and he is full of bookishness on weekdays. Everyone, including Kangxi, does not expect him to have good grades, but his grades are not too bad. The first arrow misses a bit, but the next two arrows are also in It was in the red heart, so Kangxi nodded, as no reward or punishment.The third elder brother was secretly happy in his heart, it was much better than he expected, at least he would not be punished.

When Yinzhen came on stage, he couldn't help but attract a few focused eyes.Yinzhen doesn't seem to be good at riding and shooting.Although he is not worse than the third elder brother, he can't be said to be the best among brothers.Yinzhen's three arrows are all in the red heart, but they are not inserted right in the middle, but somewhat close to the edge.But anyway, it's a good score.This made those gazes come back safely.

Afterwards, both the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother were elder brothers who had led troops to fight on the battlefield.Although Seventh Brother has a disabled leg, archery is definitely not a problem. As expected, both of them have good results.

When it was Yinhu's turn to play, he couldn't help but pay more attention than Yinzhen.Yinhu knew it in his heart, and he just didn't know it. He played mediocrely and handed in a mediocre result. Like the third elder brother, he missed an arrow, which was within everyone's expectations.

Afterwards, those young elder brothers were all the best. Don't look at Yinxiang who was still complaining at Yinzhen's place yesterday, but today he played on the field and scored all three goals. The results of these younger elder brothers made Kangxi smile .Finally, Kangxi stood up, and Li Dequan carefully followed behind to serve him.

Kangxi came over and looked at the sons in front of him and said, "You brothers, your grades are not as good as these younger ones, so don't be ashamed. All the ministers are here today, and you are not afraid of losing face, so just give it to me." After achieving such a result, I will practice more after I go back.”

What Kangxi said seemed to be punishing, but there was no anger in his tone, and he knew that he was just pretending to reprimand, and everyone agreed in unison.Kangxi nodded, walked to the venue, turned to Li Dequan and said, "Go, get my bow and arrow."

Li Dequan responded and went to get the bow and arrow.Everyone knew that Kangxi was going to shoot arrows in person, so they were somewhat looking forward to it.But I was terrified, if the emperor did not shoot well...

Li Dequan brought the imperial bow and arrow.Kangxi weighed the weight, took a horse step, and clasped the string with his right hand.Draw the bow like a full moon, and just hear the sound of "咻", and the arrow flies out.Right in the heart.The audience applauded.Kangxi shot another arrow, which was also in the red heart. Kangxi did not shoot the third arrow after the two arrows, and handed the bow and arrow to Li Dequan, sighing, "I'm old, I don't believe it, it's a bit laborious to shoot these two arrows. Sure enough. It’s still up to the younger generation.”

What he said made all the princes and ministers present sweat. This emperor looks old, what is he doing?Everyone has guesses in their hearts.Kangxi smiled.He also looked at the kung fu of the guards.Then drive back to the palace.

When he was leaving, Yinzhen couldn't help turning his head to look back at the school grounds. Yinhu saw his move, and the two of them separated immediately after their eyes met.They all recalled a scene from many years ago.

After returning, Yinzhen shut himself in the study again.

On the second day, Gao Wuyong came in and called Yinzhen to morning, only to see his master fell asleep lying on the table with a piece of paper under his arm.Gao Wuyong didn't know many characters, only a few of them. "Lan, Yu, here, just, change, a river of spring water"

The carved railings and jade masonry should still be there, but Zhu Yan has changed. I ask you how much you can worry, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward.

PS: After reading the comments of the girls, I can say, girls, can we not hurt the spring and the autumn! ~Well, I said it would be HE! ~

I really said it I said it I said it I said it! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

But abuse is only the middle process

And I left some things as foreshadowing, which will surface little by little in the future, please calm down! ~ The anxious author couldn't stand the lamentation of the girls, so he ran out and yelled!I am really your HE! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
