Emperor's Trophy

He just rested on the bed for a few days, and when he got better, Yun Zhen couldn't lie on the bed anymore, so he got up and wandered around the mansion to the Zhongyiyuan by himself.

Before reaching the yard, I saw a few veterans on the small school field outside laughing loudly. Yun Zhen walked over and saw Lao Yu was pounced on a fiery red pony, and the pony was circling around with pouted hooves. The field was running happily, and the four hooves trampled on the snow flying wildly. Lao Yu followed behind and chased, presumably he slipped out and lost the rein.

Yun Zhen walked over to Lao Lantou who saw it first, stood up and said, "Brother is here!"

All the veterans stood up and chattered, "Is your health much better?"

"It looks good."

"Be careful and freeze again."

Yun Zhen just smiled: "Very good, let's see the old brothers, what are you doing?"

Lao Lantou said: "I'm watching Lao Yu walking the horse. He is so precious to the pony. The other day he said he was going to leave. He held the little red pony and cried all night, reluctant to leave. He fed a lot of beans, and it ended like this. The pony has gained a lot of weight in a few days, that's not going to happen, hahahaha."

Lao Yu finally pulled the little red pony back, but he couldn't bear to touch his ears for a long time, as if he was hurting his own son, he tied it to the side, smiled and said, "I exposed my short story in front of my brother again!" , what should I do if my brother withholds my horse food again."

Fang Qingsuo stabbed Old Yu's back. Old Yu was a little confused, so he turned his head to look at him: "Why are you stabbing me? The princess and I are so straightforward, brother! I am not reluctant to leave, It's this pony! This horse has to eat well!"

Old Yu stroked the shiny back of Little Pomegranate: "It's cold, you should eat well, but the accountant said that the stable expenses were too high, half of the expenses were deducted, and the beans I bought were not what I wanted. Kind, buddy, it’s a military horse, not so expensive, and the food is better than our family’s. This is a hard-earned BMW! I was also angry, and I bought soybeans and millet from my own allowance to feed it. You see Look! How beautiful! It's such a great way to raise horses!"

Fang Qingsuo said: "Old Yu is in a daze, brother Zhen just became a prince, and he is still in the filial piety, will he take care of this trivial matter?"

Yun Zhen smiled: "Uncle Yu is right, I will talk to the accountant, I will allocate money for you, and buy horse food as you like, and they are not allowed to intervene."

Only then was Lao Yu satisfied: "That's about the same. I said that brother Zhen is not such a foolish person. Even the princess knows that raising a horse is expensive. The stable has been kept by me for more than ten years. How have I ever been greedy for a cent?" One cent! If you can’t trust me to raise horses, then don’t let me take care of it! Let me take care of it, and I will let the horses eat to their fullest!”

Lao Yu was a rough man, and after hearing Yun Zhen's words, he pulled the little red horse away with satisfaction. Lao Lan turned to Yun Zhen and said: "Old Yu has been dealing with horses all his life, and people are a little confused. Brother Zhen, please don't talk to me." He cares."

Yun Zhen smiled and said: "How could it be? I like to go straight and straight, and those twists and turns sound like a headache. Besides, I want to raise horses, so naturally I can't be hungry." He turned his head and glanced The target on the school field: "Uncle Lan, I'm here today to learn archery from you."

Lao Lan was stunned: "Brother Zhen wants to learn archery?" He couldn't help laughing: "Brother sees Lao Lantou and me as a sharpshooter and thinks it's majestic? But bro, you haven't seen me eat it?" It’s so hard. You practice your arm strength so hard, you pull the bow three hundred times a day, the cold and heat don’t stop, the sun and the moon don’t stop, my brother, you are a good person, and you have won the title again, sitting high in the hall every day, no You need to suffer like this."

Yun Zhen listened and smiled: "It sounds a little difficult, but try it. If you practice steadily, you can win a lot of money by gambling in school. Where should you start? What do you give? Let me tell you—is it the same as the book says, hanging a flea in front of the window and staring at it every day to train your eyes?"

Lao Lan laughed too, seeing Yun Zhen grinning, thinking that maybe my brother was just a novelty for a while, he smiled and said: "My brother has read a lot of books, I have never tried this method, it is probably too slow, practice archery Eyesight is important, but some people can hit it with their eyes closed, so the string control on the arm is the most important thing. As long as you can point to where to hit, and hit every shot without false strings, then you can’t see it. , You can hit it just by listening."

He was able to speak up, and first brought Zhang Xiaobow: "I will teach you how to shoot an arrow and control the string first, this hand, hold it steady, hold it, don't shake it, hahahahaha bro, this is the smallest bow When I practiced before, the master had to put a glass of water or a copper coin on our elbow, and if we dropped it, we would be punished."

After pulling for a while, Yun Zhen's face turned pale, his hands trembled violently, and the sweat on his vest burst out. Lao Lan took the bow for him while laughing, and massaged his muscles. : "Carefully, my arm will hurt tomorrow. If you are happy, you can practice. If you are not happy, you can forget it. You have to start with your arm strength, and you have to maintain your eyes. There is also a knack for practicing eyes. You should spend more time in open places. When the weather is good, go outside more often, just don’t stay in the house for too long, and don’t always read and write with candles at night. If you have to write, you have to light enough candles to make it bright. In short, you write a lot. Eyes are easily broken..."

Lao Lantou babbled on for a while, Yun Zhen was still a little unconvinced, so he took the bow and tried to pull it himself. Lao Lantou looked at his face flushed and blue veins, feeling distressed and affectionate: "Brother My son! It's a lottery for gambling at the banquet, you can buy whatever you like, there is really no need to suffer like this..."

Yun Zhen stared at the arrow target and said: "It's not interesting to win what I bought, but I want to win once..."

Lao Lantou couldn't help recalling the past, and said with a smile: "Brother wants to win that young master Ding Guogong. The brothers we used to learn archery together in the beginning were all for the sake of being competitive, and we just wanted to win once." , Today you shoot chicken wings, tomorrow I will shoot chicken eyes, all the chickens in the village have been destroyed by our group of children. Hou Ye is learning archery, it is good to have a companion, and now the house is too deserted."

Yun Zhen smiled and said: "I want to buy some children and let the uncles and uncles of the Zhongyi Academy train and train them, so as to save you from being idle and boring all day long, so just pass the time. If you can persevere and learn well, we will Adopt him as a adopted son, Uncle Lan, can you say it is okay."

Lao Lan was startled, Brother Zhen is only 14 years old!What adoptive son?

He looked at Yunzhen, and his eyes became complicated. There are many dignitaries on Dayong's side, such as generals in the military, high-ranking eunuchs, etc., who like to choose athletes, recruit them as family soldiers, train them carefully, and cultivate their confidants , in the name of adopted sons, because with the name of adopted sons, as long as they behave well, they will naturally have a bright future ahead, so these adopted sons will work harder and more capable than ordinary family soldiers, and wait for the adopted sons to grow up After making meritorious service, if you plan carefully on the marriage partner, you will naturally be able to win over many forces.

Although the eldest princess leads the army, she has never taken in a adopted son because she is a woman, and after the reunification of the north and the south, she has slowly disbanded the private soldiers in her hands after she married and had children. Therefore, the number of private guards in the mansion has been reduced again and again, and now there are indeed not many left, and in a few years, it is time to return home.

That's right--at this time, I started to buy some good children with dead contracts and come back to cultivate them. When Lord Hou grows up, these adopted sons will just grow up and be used... Brother, I just said it casually when I felt lonely, or well thought out?

Lao Lantou recalled his elder brother's attitude of persuading them one by one when he came out of illness a few days ago, and suddenly a thought flashed in his mind, his eye circles felt a little hot, this is elder brother, without the protection of his parents, he had to grow up!

Yun Zhen turned his head and smiled at Lao Lan, his eyes bent, as if he was still the carefree little urchin under Cheng Huan's mother's knees: "I will tell the housekeepers to pay attention in a while, and let Guan Yazi send suitable children Come here, and when the time comes, I will trouble my uncles and uncles to pick out some good seedlings."

He has no intention of hiding himself in front of this loyal veteran: "I'm alone, and I don't have anyone to help me. When my mother just passed away, my uncles in the army can still give me some face. Send me off in a few years." Go to the army to practice and experience, and some people will be useful in the future."

At the beginning, Ji Huaisu took advantage of his own favor to stuff a lot of his subordinates in the army. The uncles and uncles looked at the eldest princess's face and his face, and gave them many opportunities to make meritorious deeds. Taking advantage of these opportunities, he won the favor of many generals in the army.Obviously they all relied on themselves at the beginning, but in the end everyone inherited Ji Huaisu's favor.

Yun Zhen squinted his eyes, staring at the target in the distance, let go of his hand, and the arrow flew out of the string, snap!bingo!

Lao Lantou said happily: "I hit it! I didn't miss the target this time! My brother is really talented!"

Yun Zhen smiled, Zhu Jiang loved archery and horse archery, and he had put in some effort in riding and archery, but he was only a little proficient.

In this life, what he wants is proficiency, not only that, he also needs more people, more power, strength can only be considered as his own strength if he truly grasps it, and only when people are truly used by him.

Otherwise, it would be nothing more than taking advantage of her mother's decades of real achievements and her prestige and favors, all of which would be taken advantage of by others.

It was the two lifetimes of muddleheadedness that taught him such a simple truth.
