Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 278

When the navy was over, it was naturally the army, but the army was in Beiping, and the dinner was still early, so Lao Zhu asked the Beijing army to gather for a martial arts show.

The Korean envoys saw the scene on the Yangtze River today, and they flattered Lao Zhu one after another, and they couldn't stop talking when they arrived at the martial arts arena.

The entire Martial Arts Field runs from south to north.

City towers, school grounds, martial arts arena...

The martial arts arena facing south and north is very majestic, archery horse racing, martial arts stage, everything is arranged in an orderly manner.

The Baishi Bridge used to be the Martial Arts Field, and after passing a pair of white stone lions, it was the place leading to the Martial Arts Field.

When Zhu Biao and Lao Zhu arrived, the two sides of the martial arts arena were already full of people, Huaixi generals, civil servants and academicians.

Today, officials above the fifth rank are allowed by Lao Zhu to bring their families and children to watch the great Ming Dynasty's military performance.

Zhu Biao gave Lao Zhu a five-star praise, and he was ruthless to those neighboring countries, social Zhu Laoba, and people.

Don't gossip with those people about who's country is strong, just go straight to the cannon, and go straight to a martial arts shooting.

Whether it's a mule or a horse, you'll know when you pull it out for a walk.

Lao Zhu entered the arena and sat down, while the Koryo envoys took a step down and sat on both sides. The salute was sounded, and all the civil and military officials immediately kowtowed: "Your Majesty is mighty, and Ming Dynasty is mighty."

At this time, the majestic Luanyi also stopped behind. This is the canopy of Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Old Zhu is quite willing today.

The first to enter is the Beijing army with firecrackers on both sides, followed by the imperial guards with swords and bows, spears, cavalry... Enter in order.

With all eyes on him, Lao Zhu sat on the high viewing platform, sitting on the dragon chair in the middle, raised his right hand, and signaled all civil and military officials to stand up.

Suddenly the drums sounded.

On the left is his most proud prince and princess, sitting under the canopy.On the right are his sons, Zhu Xi, Zhu Yu, and Zhu Di.

Lao Zhu's eyes were open, and he nodded slightly to everyone without getting angry.

The ceremony official shouted: "Knock again."

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

"Haha, get up." Old Zhu's voice was like a bell, and all civil and military officials thanked him again.

Lao Zhu glanced at Chen Di, and Chen Di immediately understood the meaning: "The auspicious time has come, please invite King Qin, King Jin and King Zhou to enter the archery range and shoot willows."

Yes, that's right.It is Sheliu.

The row of willow trees on the back side of the arrow field has just given birth to young leaves of green willow buds.Then shoot those willow branches.

The willow branches are small and soft, and they move around in the breeze. It really takes some ability to shoot accurately.

As soon as this remark came out, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fang and Zhu Di got up and went out to worship in front of Lao Zhu.

"Go." Old Zhu laughed loudly, turned his head to Zhang Ziwen and said, "Our second son, King Qin, and our third son, King Jin, are both dragons among men."

"My son obeys the order."

With the sound of the gong, Zhu Di and Zhu Xi entered the arena with their own bows and arrows, their movements were very smooth and vigorous.

Several arrows were shot, all of them hit.

Yesterday Lao Zhu said to himself that in the future, when the eldest grandson of the emperor is born, he will be given thousands of guards, and they will ride horses and shoot arrows together, and practice literature and martial arts.

Zhu Biao has no objection to practicing martial arts, but when the child is born, he will have to prepare a system and things for cultivating heirs in a few years, so that Confucian officials can no longer lead their children astray.

As for horseback riding and archery, Zhu Biao no longer sticks at it. Xu Miaowei often practiced with her during the northern expedition with him.

The Korean envoys saw how powerful the Ming prince was, but they looked at Zhu Biao suspiciously.

Why didn't the prince of Ming Dynasty shoot willows? Could it be that he was not good at archery.Shooting willows can reflect the skill of the archer.

Seeing someone looking this way again, Zhu Biao turned his head to look at the Korean envoys, and nodded to them with a hint of chill in his eyes.

In the archery range, where the horseshoes stepped, smoke and dust flew up. After shooting more than a dozen times, the willow branches were shot off, and Zhu Xi and Zhu Yan clapped each other and laughed.

Seeing this, Lao Zhu signaled to Zhu Biao that he would go too.Zhu Biao stood up confidently, and Sanbao immediately followed to lead the horse.

Chang was a little worried. She had heard that the crown prince was not as good as His Royal Highness King Qin in riding horses and archery.

Seeing the crown prince coming on stage, all civil and military officials turned their attention to Zhu Biao, and even the family members watched quietly.

"Brother." Zhu Xi stood in front of his mount and said to Zhu Biao, "Brother, why do you want to shoot willows?"

Zhu Biao raised his chin at him: "Today I will let you learn a lot."

"Brother, I shot the willow branch fifteen times before it broke."

"Second brother, your elder brother only needs two shots to break a willow branch with an arrow."

Standing behind the horse, Zhu Biao patted the horse that followed him all the time, patted the horse's head and said, "Zhuifeng, I will depend on you for a while."

Then he got on his horse and put his quiver back on his back. Zhui Feng immediately let out a long cry, and his horse's hooves stomped on the ground a few times. Zhu Biao turned his head to Zhu Xi and said, "Look at the second brother, the elder brother is not what he used to be."

Immediately after clamping his legs, Chasing Feng galloped out immediately.

Holding the bow in one hand, Zhu Biao drew several arrows from behind with the other, clamped the horse's belly tightly, and shot the arrows while chasing the wind around the willow tree.

After two times, the willow branches all broke.

The Korean envoy sitting on the viewing platform was stunned, staring blankly at Zhu Biao on the field.

Empress Ma and Lao Zhu also came over, wanting to get a closer look, Zhu Biao rode back.

Sanbao quickly took back the broken branches shot by his grandfather.

"Good! As expected of our good son." Lao Zhu was the first to applaud.

Zhu Fang and Zhu Di looked at their elder brother with admiration.

After Zhu Yu glanced at Deng Shaohua who was sitting on the side, he was a little downcast, and he didn't show off this time.

Zhu Biao naturally saw the reason for Zhu Xi's depression, and said to him: "Second brother, today is not a time for you and me to fight, but to show the prestige of the Ming Dynasty in front of other countries, so that they will fear and submit to the strength of the Ming Dynasty. "

Today, apart from the civil and military officials, their family members also came, Chen Di said to the pretty girl next to him, "That's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Chen Minglan held her face in her hands, she didn't like horseback riding and archery, the men she liked were talented and educated.

Since the uncle asked her to come, he knew what it meant without saying it, and she was not bad in appearance, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would naturally treat her differently.

During the dinner, the Goryeo envoy and Lao Zhu appointed the two princesses for Zhu Xing and Zhu Xing. Although they were not concubines, they would be noble in the future if they married King Qin and King Jin.

During the dinner, Chang Meirong returned to the East Palace, and Empress Ma also went back to rest early.

When Chen Di was ordered by Lao Zhu to bring Chen Minglan over, Zhu Biao was drawing a new picture of weapons in the East Palace.

Hearing the message from the Three Treasures, Zhu Biao went out of the hall and handed over to Chen Di: "Mr. Chen."

"His Royal Highness, this is Chen Minglan, my niece."

"I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Although Chen Minglan was unwilling in her heart, she was very polite.

"Chen Minglan? You are proficient in accounting." Zhu Biao asked.

"Naturally." Chen Minglan nodded.

"In that case, you can go to the Weaving Bureau tomorrow, and I will ask Daotong to arrange affairs for you." Zhu Biao said to Chen Di and Chen Minglan.

"Okay, at the beginning of each month, you take the account to see with Gu, and make sure there are no mistakes." Zhu Biao said his request.

Chen Minglan felt a little absurd, she also manages the family accounts, but it is inevitable that there will be mistakes, how could there not be, even if there are mistakes, he must not know.But he still smiled and said: "Yes, His Royal Highness." Chen Minglan nodded.

Zhu Biao asked Sanbao to send Chen Di and Chen Minglan out of the hall.

Turning around, she saw Mrs. Chang standing behind her.
