Chapter 66
After crossing, she has been living in the south of the Yangtze River. How could she have the opportunity to see such heavy snow.The last time I saw such a world of ice and snow was when I was on a business trip to the Northeast in my previous life. It coincided with the Lantern Festival, and the ice sculptures and lanterns in a certain city in the Northeast were beautiful and colorful, but when I thought about it again, it was just like a dream.

A heavy snow fell all day and night.But he brought up the good interest of the children of the nobles in the capital.

Prince Cheng's son Yunkun urged the third prince Yunmin and the fifth prince Yunqi to go hunting together, saying that there are foxes that have been bred for six or seven years in the Xishan hunting ground, and it is said that there are also fiery red furs, which are just right for fox fur.

Yunmin was fond of horseback riding and archery since he was a child. The emperor had to keep a filial piety for the queen mother, and he hadn't been out of Yunducheng for a year, but he was suffocated.Hearing Yun Kun's words now, he couldn't sit still.Then, while the emperor was having dinner in the palace of his mother and concubine Concubine Jing, he told about his desire to go to the Xishan hunting ground.

This year, all the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River reported a bumper harvest. The emperor was very happy today. After hearing what the third prince said, he pondered for a moment and said, "I haven't gone out to exercise for a long time, and my legs and feet are lazy. It is said that the auspicious snow heralds a good year. This year's first It’s very rare for a field of snow to fall so heavily. Why don’t I go snow hunting with you to hunt foxes. You go and give me instructions and let the people in the hunting ground prepare.”

Yun Min was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed and said: "Father is wise. My son is going now."

It was originally just a fun idea for the noble children, but it became the emperor himself leading the team to hunt.Now the whole capital city is bustling with excitement.

All the young princes of the prince Hou Bo's family who have official positions in the court have contributed a share. The royal children are headed by the eldest prince and the third prince. Three brothers from the Han family, three brothers from the Su family, and the young Dingyuan General Wei Zhang and other upstarts were also invited.

In addition, there are also young sons from the family of foreign relatives and civil servants accompanying them, and delicate sons like Feng Shaochen are also stuffed into the hunting team by Prime Minister Feng's words.

On the second day after the snow stopped, the emperor's chariot came out of the west city gate, and surrounded by the princes and clan children, he galloped on the snow all the way to the Xishan hunting ground.

The Xishan hunting ground is located in the southwest of Yundu, and it is more than [-] miles away from the official road. The hunting ground is built on the mountain, with walls built of rocks, enclosing a thousand acres of forest, where wild animals transported from various places are raised, and it is specially used for food. The royal boys hunt.

With the emperor's order, everything is well prepared in the hunting camp.

The journey of more than twenty miles is not too far, the carriage is speeding, but it will arrive in an hour or two.It is also a beautiful day, as soon as the snow stopped, the sky cleared up. At this time, the white snow reflected the bright winter sun, wrapped in silver, and it was so beautiful.

The emperor is in his fifties this year. He has worked hard for more than [-] years since he ascended the throne. He cleared Haiyan and Heqing, which was ruled by the Dayun Dynasty, and opened up new territories to pay homage to the barbarians of the West. Now is the time to be full of energy.Seeing this scene, I was naturally delighted and moved.At that time, regardless of the tiring journey, the close guards took the bow and arrow, put on the horse in the stirrups, and went straight to the mountain.The guards and the accompanying royal nephews dared not neglect, and hurriedly rode their horses to follow.

Wei Zhang doesn't belong to the ranks of personal followers, so naturally he doesn't need to keep up.He Xi, Tang Xiaoyi and four others who were following him came over and ordered: "Take people around and don't just focus on hunting. Your Majesty is in a hurry this time. I'm afraid that the people in the hunting ground are not well prepared and there may be some omissions." , if you find anything wrong, order someone to deal with it as appropriate."

He Xi and the others took orders, and each of them took a few brothers with them to scatter around to check.

The brothers Su Yu'an and Su Yuxiang did not chase after the emperor. Su Yu'an is one of the leaders of the Jinlin Army, and the safety of the emperor is his duty. At this time, he had just ordered his subordinates to come over when he heard Wei Zhang's words, so he laughed. : "General Wei is really a careful person."

Wei Zhang cupped his hands towards Su Yu'an: "Master Su, Third Young Master Su."

Su Yuxiang asked with a smile, "Why didn't Major General Wei go hunting foxes with His Majesty? Your Majesty has spoken. Whoever hunts Firefox will be rewarded."

"I'm about to go, I wonder if the two of you are willing to go together?"

"Oh? Okay." Su Yuxiang looked at Su Yu'an with a smile, "Second brother, what do you say?"

Su Yu'an shook her head and said, "I don't have time to spare right now. I have to take someone to check around. You can go with Major General Wei. The snowy mountain roads are slippery, so ride carefully."

Su Yuxiang smiled and said, "Second brother, do you look down on me?"

Su Yu'an smiled and said nothing.Although the third brother in his family is not an old man, he also has a younger sister, but because the younger sister also grew up in front of the eldest princess, the mother especially dotes on this younger brother.So this younger brother is not bad in the wind, flowers, snow and moon, but he is really average in bow horse riding and shooting.If it wasn't for Wei Zhang following him, he wouldn't have dared to let him go hunting alone with two guards in this snow-covered posture.

Wei Zhang and Su Yuxiang rode side by side into the depths of the mountain forest. One is a suave son of a noble family and the other is an upstart general with great military exploits. Normally, there is nothing to talk about when they get together, but unexpectedly, the two of them walked together all the way. Chatting, it was a good chat, and put the hunting matter behind my ears.

I don't know where the sentence started, and the two of them talked about Su Yuxiang's old governor of Mount Tai and Liangjiang, Mr. Yao.

Wei Zhang smiled and said: "It is said that Mr. Yao has made remarkable achievements this year. Your Majesty intends to transfer him to Beijing?"

Su Yuxiang was a little proud: "It's the limelight, but the matter hasn't been settled yet, so it's not sure."

By the way, Wei Zhang said a few good things about Yao Yuanzhi, Su Yuxiang was even more proud, and said casually: "But it's best for them to work in Beijing, and we can take care of each other. My wife is pregnant, and she keeps talking about her mother's family in my ears every day." , Hey! My heart is in a mess."

"Oh! It turns out that the third son is going to be a father! This is a great event, congratulations." Wei Zhang smiled and cupped his hands at Su Yuxiang.

"Thank you." Su Yuxiang smiled triumphantly, and asked again: "Isn't the major general still young?"

Wei Zhang smiled and said, "Brother is twenty-two this year."

"Well, two years younger than me." Su Yuxiang said with a smile on his face, "But I was already married when I was your age. Now you are still alone. How is it? Which girl do you like? Do you want me to help you propose a marriage?"

Wei Zhang smiled and cupped his hands again: "Thank you, Third Young Master, for your love. If there is, I will definitely trouble Young Master to be the great matchmaker."

"You're welcome." Su Yuxiang waved his hand nonchalantly.

Just as Wei Zhang was about to say something, his eyes caught a glint of snow, and then his body reacted one step faster than his brain. He opened his bow and set an arrow, and the sharp black arrow shot out with a whizzing sound, splashing a touch of blood in the white snow. A white hare lay down on the snow.
