Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 14 The Effect of One-Talk
For the first time in his life, Zhao Dezhao witnessed the royal hunting outside of TV.

Only then did I know that royal hunting and hunting by hunters are completely different.

Hunting relies on a large number of people, divided into teams, each with flags and horns, to surround a mountain or a forest, and then beat the gongs and trumpets to drive out the birds and beasts inside like a net, and drive them to the emperor and the king. Follow the relatives and nobles who are hunting, and let them shoot with arrows.

As long as you can hit the target, there is no possibility of missing the target, and you can harvest as many prey as you can pull with a cart, dozens or even hundreds.

The "Shiquan old man" Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, it is said that he once shot hundreds of rabbits in a day to boast about himself, which should be the case, if he is not bragging.

Zhao Kuangyin naturally didn't know how much stronger he was compared to that "Shiquan old man".

Zhao Dezhao followed his father's horse, and saw him shoot repeatedly, almost without fail, and even had a fight with Xiao Li Feidao.

Although Zhao Guangyi's bow horse was not as good as Zhao Kuangyin's, it was definitely not bad, and the prey he got was nearly half that of his elder brother.

Zhao Dezhao discovered that Zhao Guangyi actually played all kinds of tricks on horseback, sometimes he shot back, sometimes from the side, and sometimes he shot birds from the sky. play tricks.

Zhao Defang's mount was small and his bow and arrow were small, but he still got something. He shot two hares and a pheasant, and his little face flushed with excitement.

Only Zhao Dezhao himself, after a long time, was still empty-handed and got nothing.

Both wielding sticks and riding horses have the muscle memory of the original owner of the body to rely on. Although the original owner's stick wielding skills and equestrian skills are very average, at least they look like three-pointers, so it won't be too embarrassing to take them out.

But archery is no good. The original owner of his body has never shot arrows a few times. How can there be any muscle memory to rely on?
Zhao Dezhao couldn't even draw his bow!

Of course, he was even more ashamed to switch to the light bow and arrows of his younger brother Zhao Defang.

"Erlang." Zhao Kuangyin fixed his mount, glanced back at Zhao Dezhao who was following behind, and asked with concern: "Why don't you shoot empty-handed, is it because your arm injury is still not healed, and you can't draw the bow?"

Zhao Dezhao just wanted to come to a "hunchback to cross the ditch, follow the trend on the spot", and admit it according to his father's words, so as to save embarrassment and embarrassment.

At this moment, soldiers shouted in the woods on the right, and an elk was driven out and rushed towards this side.

Zhao Kuangyin shouted in surprise: "Erlang, this deer is left to you. You have no strength in your arms, so wait until you get close and shoot next to the horse's head. You can kill it by poking it with an arrow close to you!"

Zhao Guangyi originally intended to shoot the elk. As soon as he heard this, he immediately reined in his mount, turned his head and looked at Zhao Dezhao with a smile, his eyes meaningful.

Zhao Dezhao responded to his father's call repeatedly and drew an arrow from the quiver, but he was lamenting in his heart: "Dad, do you think everyone has your ability? I really can't poke it!"

The elk was getting closer and closer, and Zhao Dezhao gradually saw clearly that it was a doe without horns on its head.

Zhao Dezhao held the bow in one hand and nocked the arrow in the other, staring fixedly at the doe that was rushing towards him.

Maybe it was because he knew that he couldn't draw the bow, but at this moment Zhao Dezhao turned his mind off like a ghost, and suddenly remembered a famous historical event.

"Erlang, shoot!"

Seeing that the elk was about to run past the horse's head, Zhao Kuangyin shouted.

"Shoot!" Zhao Defang also yelled from a distance, anxious for her brother.

Zhao Dezhao turned a deaf ear and threw the bow and arrow in his hand on the ground instead.

There was only a bowstring sound of "bang", and Zhao Guangyi shot an arrow from a distance of twenty or thirty feet, knocking down the doe and hitting it in the neck.

He didn't care about the prey, he rode over and said with a smile: "Erlang can't shoot, and it's the same if I shoot. I'll give it to you."

Zhao Kuangyin also rode over, seeing the bow and arrow thrown by his son on the ground, he was even more unhappy.

"Even if your arm injury is not healed and you can't shoot arrows, you don't need to throw a bow or arrow?"

"In the battle, you are throwing away your weapons and committing suicide!"

This is a bit heavy to say.

Zhao Dezhao's expression remained unchanged, and he spoke slowly.

"Daddy taught me the lesson."

"It's just that my son felt that it was spring, and birds and beasts were breeding, and he couldn't bear to hurt life to make peace, so he abandoned his bow and arrow."

"The elk just now was a doe again. It's not what a benevolent person should do. This is the benevolence of a sage."

Zhao Kuangyin was obviously stunned for a moment, as if he was very surprised by this answer.

He then raised the reins and approached, riding side by side with Zhao Dezhao, reached out and patted his son's shoulder vigorously, and said with a smile: "It seems that you have been studying behind closed doors in the mansion these days, and you have really read it, and you have learned the principles of saints." gone."

On the contrary, Zhao Guangyi's face was a little gloomy. He shot and killed the doe. What does the sentence "no human being should do" mean?
Zhao Dezhao himself heaved a sigh of relief, thanking me for my history hobby and for the history posts I have read!

Anyway, this hurdle has passed again, and I should be able to gain a lot of favorability and trust from my father.

Speaking of which, the nonsense about "Chun Ri can't bear to hurt life" is a historical fact that was actually published in the original historical time and space.

Emperor Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty wanted to establish a reserve, and the sixth elder brother Yisu and the fourth elder brother Yichi were the main competitors.

Emperor Daoguang took his sons out to hunt. The sixth elder brother Yi told him that he was very capable, and his arrows never went wrong, and he hunted a lot. Haruhi can't bear to hurt students, so there are nonsense like "Qian Tianhe".

Emperor Daoguang was really moved, and said "this is the true emperor's words", and made up his mind to choose Yi Chi to succeed him. He was the later Emperor Xianfeng.

Therefore, Yi Chi, whose talent and talent were a level lower than Yi Su's, got a huge bargain by relying on hiding his clumsiness and acting like a good boy!

Of course, the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty were not the same thing, but both dynasties advocated Confucianism, and their ideologies were basically the same.

Therefore, Zhao Dezhao's story was really praised by his father.

But having said that, Zhao Kuangyin certainly didn't know how much higher he was compared to the Emperor of the Manchu Tartars.

Although he attaches great importance to culture and education, after all, he is an emperor who was killed with a sword and a gun, and he is not as pedantic and foolish as Emperor Daoguang!
Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin would not really make him the crown prince just because of those few words.

Of course, Zhao Dezhao did not expect that he would be able to secure the position of the crown prince by talking about it.

But he was still a little disappointed. His response was so good, but the emperor's father only praised "I have read the book", and then there was no more to say?
Isn't this too stingy?
