The people around were a little dazed, and they all looked at Emperor Hongzhi!

Emperor Hongzhi, who was about to go down the tower, paused and looked back at Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao shuddered at this glance, he was a little afraid of being beaten and wanted to hide.

Emperor Hongzhi then shook his head helplessly, sighed softly, turned around after all, returned to the tower, and sat down again.

There were whispers all over the city, no one could have predicted that such a good riding and shooting would become such a joke.

In fact, Zhang Mao and Ma Wensheng were also in a daze, and they didn't seem to have expected this situation. Zhang Mao wanted to explain something, but seeing Emperor Hongzhi's expression was cold, he didn't dare to speak anymore.

Taking advantage of the waiting time, Emperor Hongzhi asked Zhu Houzhao, "How did you see that this is a show?"

Zhu Houzhao glanced at his father cautiously, and said hesitantly, "I dare not say anything."

"Go ahead," said Emperor Hongzhi.

"A military officer's status is low, and people don't want to practice martial arts. Riding and archery is considered a skill for ordinary soldiers. There will be opportunities to practice riding and archery. As for military officers, as well as princes, princes, and hereditary military officers, riding and archery is not a matter of honor for them, and they will be ridiculed as reckless if they practice, so ..."

Emperor Hongzhi wondered: "Riding and archery is the foundation of the country... Military officers can still fool around when the country is in peace, but what if the court needs loyal and brave men?"

He looked at the envoys of the feudal states on the left side of the city wall from a distance, and said faintly: "Now I, Daming, have been seen through. Zhang Mao, Ma Wensheng, you all get up, three feet of ice, not one Rizhihan, even if there is a mistake, it is expected to be my negligence..."

Shaking his head, he sighed.

But at this time, the students who had been preparing for a long time came.

They had assembled at dawn early in the morning, led by Wang Shouren!

Although it was cold and windy early in the morning, they were all lightly dressed, with only a bun on their heads and clothed clothes. His Royal Highness gave an order, and the team started to set off from the outskirts of the city to the Wengcheng.

Looking at this group of messy teams, the disheveled, civil and military officials in the city who were already disappointed all showed contempt. After the trial, they still kept their eyebrows low and pleasing to the eye, not daring to sneer at all. After all, to them, Daming was still Daming, and even though its military equipment was relaxed, its national strength still cannot be underestimated.

At most, that's all with a bit of contempt in my heart.

But when these students appeared, some couldn't help but chuckled, looked around and said, "Could it be that scholars can also ride and shoot?"

The atmosphere became active all of a sudden, everyone laughed, yes, can scholars also ride and shoot?

The scholars of the Ming Dynasty studied hard in the cold window, although some of them were sensual, but they had nothing to do with riding and shooting.

…………

On the tower, Emperor Hongzhi glared at Zhu Houzhao. He was actually disheartened. Sitting here, he felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles.

Don't worry, go back and clean up slowly.

Fang Jifan at the bottom of the city tower had turned over and got off his horse, and climbed up the city tower slowly. Everyone looked at him very complicatedly, and all the civil and military officials around the emperor had mixed feelings in their hearts! Reading the test today, I was really disappointed, not to mention His Majesty's dragon face was furious, don't look at His Majesty's calm face, but the more so, the more I don't know what kind of thunderous anger will follow.

On the other hand, Fang Jifan stepped forward calmly and said: "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Hongzhi said indifferently: "Do the students also practice martial arts?"

Fang Jifan said: "The six arts of a gentleman include imperialism and archery. If you don't learn riding and archery, how can you govern the country and the world?"

Emperor Hongzhi finally looked better, nodded, looked around and said: "Look, even the scholars are like this, but what about the army and the Beijing camp? Fang Jifan's heart is commendable, but this riding and shooting, I see, is still the same. There is no need to continue, I, Daming, have already lost face, and if I continue, it will only make people laugh, Fang Jifan has this kind of heart, so it will be fine."

Emperor Hongzhi praised Fang Jifan fiercely, which probably meant that Fang Jifan had good intentions, but... why are scholars joining in the fun, so don't be ashamed.

This time, it made many people's hearts sour.

The British Duke Zhang Mao is fine, but his Dukes are all serving in the five-army governor's mansion. This time, he has lost his lord. Fang Jifan pulled out a group of scholars. Isn't this a slap in the face? This useless scholar was actually pulled to laugh at himself.

"Your Majesty..." Standing not far from Emperor Hongzhi was Wu Dinghou Guo Zhen!

This Guo Zhen is the commander of the Jinwu Guard, and he is guarding the palace full-time. At this time, he is a bit embarrassed by his old face.

Wu Dinghou's lineage is naturally not as good as the princes of several major countries, but when the Guo family raised troops from the Taizu Emperor Gao, his ancestor Guo Hua served as Zhu Yuanzhang's bodyguard Conglong, and he was almost inseparable from Zhu Yuanzhang's side , Zhu Yuanzhang trusted him a lot. He had experienced many battles and scars, Zhu Yuanzhang was very relieved of him, and he called him Guo Si affectionately.

This Guo Xiao... No, Guo Si's ancestor eventually became Zhu Yuanzhang's guard. When Zhu Yuanzhang went to bed, he ordered him to stay outside, which shows how much he is loved by Emperor Taizu Gao.

Even in the time of Emperor Taizu Gao, not

All the meritorious officials were implicated because of the Hu Weiyong case and the Lan Yu case, but Guo Si not only survived safely, but was also posthumously named Shan Guogong when he died.

Guo Zhen is his great-grandson, who inherited his title, and is also in charge of the Suwei Palace, which shows his status.

At this moment, he stared at Fang Jifan with wide eyes, very annoyed in his heart!

You Fang succeeded Fan Nainan and Bo, and now your father has become Pingxi Hou, and you also have the title of Xinjian Bo. I have nothing to say, you have indeed done some practical things for the people. I admire your Fang family for this, but now , but you bring a group of scholars here to humiliate the generals, what does this mean?

He suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Uncle Xinjian has a military position, but every now and then he uses illness as an excuse, rarely participates in military exercises, and he is not seen in the monthly drills. If you have a brain disease, you can regard military law as a Nothing?"

"..."

So everyone looked at Fang Jifan in unison.

Fang Jifan was also a little confused.

He felt that he should explain, and really wanted to say, besides having a brain disease, I was still a child.

Of course, he didn't say this after all. After all, he is a person with very righteous views and cannot use these objective factors to make excuses for himself.

Fang Jifan raised his eyebrows at Wu Dinghou, and said: "What Wu Dinghou said is that being humble must be corrected. But Wu Dinghou seems not used to being humble."

"Hmph." Wu Dinghou snorted coldly!

He is Su Wei, the favorite minister of Emperor Hongzhi. The old Guo family has guarded the emperor's palace for generations, and his status is extraordinary. However, this person guards outside his house every day, so he will inevitably be a little perverted. Stone.

Fang Jifan thought to himself: "Your ancestor's name is Guo Si, isn't he Guo... Xiao... Xiao... Xiao Si..."

This name is good, festive and elegant.

After complaining in his heart, Fang Jifan blinked, and said seriously: "When my elder father was still alive, he said in person that the Marquis of Wuding and our Fang family are family friends, and that is because they wear the same pair of trousers."

"..."

Guo Zhen didn't speak, but said in her heart, do you know that they are wearing the same pair of pants, and they are pulling a group of scholars to make trouble? Dog thing, teaching people to read in Xishan, is the teaching stupid?

Faced with Guo Zhen's attitude of not being a very good friend, Fang Jifan showed a very sincere look, and blinked again: "My elder father also said that in the Tumubao battle, Wu Dinghou's father was a humble elder who committed suicide on the mountain. Recited in the sea of ​​blood, of course, these are all old things, humble meaning, if you have anything to say, say it well."

"..."

Who would have thought that at this time, a public case would be pulled out. Many people looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, this matter... It has been a few years, and no one knows whether it is true or not.

Guo Zhen's eyes were straightened, and she said angrily: "Hey, nonsense, my father was only twelve years old at the time, and he was staying behind in the capital..."

"Ah...so that's how it is..." Fang Jifan was not embarrassed, he learned from those shameless uncles!

He still had a sincere look on his face: "Then... I think I misremembered, it wasn't your father, but Wu Dinghou's elder father, the humble elder father recited Wu Dinghou's elder father from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, Eldest father Ling injured his foot and was surrounded by many Tartars and fell in a pool of blood. My elder father led his personal guards to kill them and dispersed the Tartars..."

When everyone saw what he said, even Emperor Hongzhi was moved. Is there such a thing?

It's just, at this juncture, what are you talking about these old things?

Emperor Hongzhi's expression turned ugly again.

The Tumu Fortress brought great pain to the entire Ming Dynasty, especially for the nobles. At the beginning, countless princes and emperor Yingzong died in the Tumu Fort. From the Duke's Mansion to the Bohou, almost every family had someone Wearing hemp and filial piety.

And because it was a big defeat, the scene of the war at that time was extremely chaotic, and almost no one could explain clearly what happened there.

Fang Jifan looked at Guo Zhen very seriously, meaning that you, Wu Dinghou, are so unkind. If my grandfather hadn't saved your grandfather back then, how much longer would your grandfather have lived?

Guo Zhen's face was contorted with anger, and she said furiously, "My father followed the late Emperor Yingzong. He died in the battle, and everyone died. Did your father come back with my father's body on his back?"

"..." Fang Jifan was a little dazed for a moment, but soon, he smiled and said seriously: "Yes, the one who wants to carry it back is Wu Dinghou's corpse, and it can make the old man rest in peace. Be kind."
