Chapter 141

Just as Chen Jingzong loved the horse that Hua Yang gave him, Emperor Yuanyou in the palace also couldn't put it down. He went to the stable every day to see it, and even gave the horse a majestic name - Huo Qilin.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Hua Yang and Chen Jingzong came to the palace to celebrate the festival, and Emperor Yuanyou took his sister and brother-in-law to see his fire unicorn.

"I heard that the White Snow Pagoda of the son-in-law was named by my sister?" Emperor Yuanyou said teasingly.

Hua Yang raised his eyebrows: "Why, doesn't it sound good?"

Emperor Yuanyou: "It sounds good, but the horse is completely black and doesn't match the Snow White Pagoda."

In fact, black hair and white hair don't matter much, the key is that Baixue Pagoda is a kind of peony flower, and the black horse is male, and my sister patronizes it nicely, without considering the mood of the son-in-law at all.

Emperor Yuanyou guessed that if the son-in-law was allowed to name himself, he would definitely change his prestige.

He looked at Chen Jingzong sympathetically.

Chen Jingzong echoed: "The color is indeed not suitable, but the white snow pagoda matches the white hair on the horse's forehead very well, and it is quite artistic, much more elegant than I thought."

Emperor Yuanyou's heart moved: "What are you talking about?"

Hua Yang showed contempt on his face, and walked away a few steps, as if he didn't even want to listen.

Chen Jingzong looked at the back of the long princess, smiled ashamedly, and answered the emperor in a low voice: "I think the name 'Lao Hei' is very good, and it sounds kind."

Emperor Yuanyou: ...

Although he had known for a long time that the son-in-law didn't like reading when he was a child, and he didn't have the good literary talent of Chen Bozong and Chen Xiaozong, but "Old Hei" was too... a bit plain and unpretentious.

Because Emperor Yuanyou liked Huo Qilin, the horse trainers in the palace also worked very hard to train it. After all, Huo Qilin is just a horse, and it is served with delicious food and drink. Every day, someone brushes and tickles it.A few whips and a sweet date, and by mid-September, Huo Qilin would obediently submit to Emperor Yuanyou.

Emperor Yuanyou was also courageous, so he asked the horse trainer to lead the horse for two laps. Seeing that Huo Qilin was being honest, he let the horse run by himself.

Happy is happy, and was scolded severely by Empress Dowager Qi who learned about it.

Emperor Yuanyou went in his left ear and out his right ear, because he was in a good mood, he didn't care too much.

The next day, when Chen Tingjian came to teach him, Emperor Yuanyou discussed with him that he wanted to go to Xishan for autumn hunting.

Chen Tingjian was quite surprised. After all, the two emperors in front of him were very quiet, and they never took the initiative to talk about horse racing and autumn hunting.

And Emperor Yuanyou was only fourteen years old, so young, if something went wrong during the autumn hunting, who would be able to bear it?

Emperor Yuanyou knew his concerns, smiled, walked around the desk, walked in front of Chen Tingjian, raised his hand and compared the shoulders of the two: "Look, sir, I am only half a foot shorter than you, a civil servant in the court, and you stand out from the crowd.", most of them are on the same level as me, and there are no less than five people who are shorter than me, how can you always treat me like a child?"

Chen Tingjian bowed and said, "I dare not."

Emperor Yuanyou helped him stand up straight, and said sincerely: "Sir, I want me to be a Mingjun. I think that a Mingjun should not only be kind to the people, but also have a military strategy. Sir, I want me to be rich and strong, and I also have this wish.", but if I stay in the palace all the time, without the strength to restrain a chicken, even in autumn hunting in the suburbs of Beijing, I have to shrink back, how will I command the soldiers of the world in the future?"

Chen Tingjian lowered his eyes and said: "The emperor's words are reasonable, but the emperor's dragon body is related to the country, the country, and the ministers have to be cautious. And the ministers remember that when the emperor was six years old, the first emperor galloped in the palace.Use the world to persuade the late emperor to cherish the dragon body, but now the emperor insists on hunting in autumn, the mountain road is steep and the bow and arrow are blind, the danger is far better than riding a horse in the palace, as a minister, how can I not persuade or advise?"

Emperor Yuanyou straightened his face, stared at him for a while, retreated to his seat, and said calmly: "Forget it, sir, let's teach."

Chen Tingjian nodded and began to lecture.

Although Emperor Yuanyou took a break from autumn hunting, his hands and legs were itchy. On September 20th, Emperor Yuanyou, who didn't need to study, wandered around the Imperial Garden, and suddenly sent someone to tell Qi Jin, ChenJingzong entered the palace.

Among the military officers in Capital City, the oldest Emperor Yuanyou couldn't talk to them, but the younger Emperor Yuanyou was of course closest to his cousin and brother-in-law.

The eldest princess's mansion was closer, and Chen Jingzong arrived first.

Emperor Yuanyou looked at him and smiled: "I heard that the son-in-law will accompany my sister out of the city for a stroll whenever she rests. I thought you would come here from outside the city."

The young man, who can only be locked up in the palace, is quite envious of the freedom of his sister and brother-in-law. When he is in a bad mood, his envy is a bit jealous.

He won't get angry with his sister, so he doesn't have to be polite to Chen Jingzong.

Chen Jingzong said with shame: "I am stupid. I don't know anything about the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting that the long princess likes. I can only use my strength to accompany the long princess out of the city to enjoy the autumn. It's just that the weather is getting colder. The long princess doesn't like to go out. Today I can only go out."Walking with the long princess in the garden, when the emperor sent someone to summon the minister, the minister was reprimanded by the long princess for saying something wrong, and I would like to thank the emperor for helping the minister."

Emperor Yuanyou: "How did you offend my sister?"

Chen Jingzong lowered his head and explained: "The minister and the long princess walked to the lotus pond. The lotus leaves in the pond have turned yellow and withered. The long princess recited a poem about lotus, feeling quite sad about autumn.Wanting to cheer her up, I said that autumn is very good, and I can ask people to dig lotus root to eat. Not only does it taste good, but it can also relieve diarrhea, invigorate the spleen and whet the appetite, but the long princess is not only unhappy, but angry."

Emperor Yuanyou: ...

When my sister was in love, the son-in-law only thought about eating, and talked about laxatives and diarrhea. No wonder my sister is happy!

Emperor Yuanyou not only disliked Chen Jingzong's clumsy tongue, but also thought it was quite funny, shook his head, and before Qi Jin arrived, he first complained to Chen Jingzong about Chen Tingjian.

Emperor Yuanyou wanted to see whether Chen Jingzong was helping his father to speak, or following his wishes to blame his father.

Chen Jingzong, who had always been respectfully standing opposite Emperor Yuanyou, raised his head at this moment and looked over with complicated eyes.

Emperor Yuanyou saw a bit of envy.

envious?

He was puzzled: "What kind of eyes are you looking at?"

Chen Jingzong smiled wryly, lowered his eyes again, and said: "What the emperor just said reminded me of an old incident."

Emperor Yuanyou: "What happened?"

Chen Jingzong said: "It happened when I was young. At that time, I was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and I was still living with the old lady in my hometown in Ling Zhou. At that time, my parents were in Capital City, and the old lady was old.I can't control it, Chenna's second uncle is also a naughty temper, and he doesn't dare to ask Chen's movements. Therefore, I am in my hometown, and I want to do whatever I want. If anyone makes me angry, I will deliberately hide in the mountains to make them worry.Do they still dare to point fingers?"

Emperor Yuanyou smiled, a look of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, he guessed that Chen Jingzong was going to turn a corner and preach to him.

Chen Jingzong continued: "Once, I went into the mountains alone. The mountains in my hometown are all low mountains, and there are no dangerous beasts. I am proud of my martial arts, and I am not afraid of the sky and the earth. I don't want to go to the tree to dig out bird eggs that day., as soon as I got close to the bird's nest, a black snake suddenly sprang out of the nest. If I met this on the ground, I would not be afraid, but at that time, I was not prepared, so I let go of my hand when I was frightened, and walked straight from a height of more than ten feet.fell to the ground from a tree."

Emperor Yuanyou asked politely: "Is there any injury?"

Chen Jingzong shook his head: "There was a thick layer of fallen leaves on the tree. I was lucky to save my life, but my right leg was broken, and my arm was cut by a branch, and I bled a lot."

As he spoke, Chen Jingzong rolled up his cuffs, revealing an old wound on the inside of his right arm that had already healed, leaving only a thin gray mark.

Emperor Yuanyou originally thought that he had made up this story, but when he saw this scar, he realized that such a thing really happened.

He became really curious: "You have a broken right leg, so you can't walk anymore?"

Chen Jingzong: "Yes, the pain became unbearable after barely walking a few steps. I could only lay down on the ground and watch the sky turn black."

Emperor Yuanyou imagined that he fell into that situation alone, surrounded by barren mountains and mountains in the darkness, and there were snakes, rats and beasts going out, and the hairs all over his body stood on end.

Chen Jingzong: "I brought some dry food with me. I lay in the mountains for a day and a night. The people in the town came to find me and carried me down the mountain. After I recover from my injuries, I still like to go to the mountains.You can't control me. But does the emperor know what was on my mind the most when I was enduring the pain of a broken bone and lying in the mountains for the night?"

It may be that when talking about the past when he was young, and Emperor Yuanyou was very close, Chen Jingzong unconsciously forgot his dignity and no longer called himself a minister.

Emperor Yuanyou didn't care about such details at all, and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Chen Jingzong smiled: "Almost all night, I scolded my old man. If he didn't always scold me and scold me, I wouldn't run back to my hometown in a fit of anger. If I don't go back to my hometown, I won't go into the mountains. I won't go into the mountains.I won’t fall off the tree. If I stay in Capital City, even if I’m sick, my mother will take care of me with greetings. I even think that even if I die in the mountains, the old man probably won’t shed a tear, anyway, he has so many sons, and they are all more promising than me."

Although he was laughing, Emperor Yuanyou seemed to have seen the young boy Chen Jingzong lying alone in the mountains, he saw him enduring the pain while blaming his father, while venting his anger while feeling sad that his father was better for his brothers, and then he fell away pitifully.tears.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Yuanyou suddenly understood why Chen Jingzong envied him and was persuaded by Chen Tingjian just now.

At least Chen Tingjian would stop him when he wanted to take risks, and when Chen Jingzong took risks in his hometown, his parents were not around.

As children, I am tired of being restrained and disciplined by the elders all the time, but if something happens, the elders are the first thing I think of, I hope they can come to help in time, I hope they can stay by my side softly.

Emperor Yuanyou even remembered that he was sick when he was a child, and that Chen Tingjian had fed him medicine himself. After all, he was a prince. Chen Tingjian had a strict and gentle side, but what Chen Jingzong felt from his own father was only severe criticism, right?

With mixed feelings in his heart, Emperor Yuanyou glared at Chen Jingzong bitterly: "Don't think I don't know, you are turning a corner to speak well for your father."

Chen Jingzong: "The emperor misunderstood, so I don't care about him. I am afraid that the emperor will insist on autumn hunting. In case of injury, the long princess will cry with tears in his eyes, and the minister will feel distressed and worried."

Emperor Yuanyou: "You have only been injured once in the mountains so many times, why do you think something will happen if I go there once?"

Chen Jingzong: "It has nothing to do with whether you will be injured or not. It's because there are too many people who care about the emperor. The emperor has the heart to make them all worry? If I have a mother who is as devoted to me as the queen mother, and a sister who is as gentle and caring as the long princess, I can't bear to let them worry about it, but unfortunately, I have a hard life, there is no older sister, only two older brothers overwhelm me everywhere."

Emperor Yuanyou: ...

In such a comparison, he is indeed much more comfortable than Chen Jingzong!

Chen Jingzong: "The emperor wants to hunt in autumn. In fact, the imperial garden is so big, you can still show your skills. Let's say that those sparrows are small or small, and they fly very fast. Only when they hit the arrows will they really look good with arrows."

Emperor Yuanyou looked towards the treetop and found a fat sparrow squatting on a branch.

I only heard of the hero who shoots wolves and foxes, but haven't heard of any hero who is famous for shooting sparrows.

Chen Jingzong: "You try first."

Emperor Yuanyou ordered the little eunuch to bring a bow and arrow, and find a sparrow again. With a sound of "swoosh", the arrow flew out, and the sparrow also flew away.

Chen Jingzong immediately shot an arrow, and the arrow stabbed firmly into the sparrow's neck, and it fell down.

Emperor Yuanyou: ...

Chen Jingzong patted him on the shoulder: "Your Majesty, don't be discouraged. It took me seven or eight years of climbing and rolling in the mountains to practice the skill of walking through Yang with a hundred steps."

Emperor Yuanyou: ...

You really are not humble at all!

When Qi Jin finally entered the palace, what he saw was Chen Jingzong taking Emperor Yuanyou to shoot sparrows!
