"Your Majesty has an order to compete for shooting willows, and start now!"

With the long shout of the ritual officer, the drums were loud and the horns were roaring.

The whole audience was immediately silent and silent. The nobles were all waiting for Prince Zhu Hebi to take the lead in shooting Liu.

The second prince Zhu Heji winked at the guard behind him, and someone immediately led him forward.

"What? The second brother is going to compete with the eldest brother?" The third prince Zhu Hedai said with a smile.

Zhu Heqian's eyes flashed with cold light: "Prince, you always need an opponent to look good. If the third brother doesn't go, you can only cooperate with the second brother!"

As he said that, he instigated the war horse under his crotch, tightened his hands and tied the reins. The horse cried and kicked the ground uneasily, instantly lifting the soil on the ground.

Seeing this, Xu Mingwu on the opposite side thought that the second prince wanted to show it in front of the emperor again, but his posture of riding a horse and whipping was quite handsome. I guess after practicing for a while, we would not be able to do it!

In front of everyone, Zhu Heqi clamped his legs and his mount immediately jumped out, rushed towards the artificial willow tree in the middle of the teaching ground, and shouted: "Your Highness, let me throw the bricks and attract jade first!"

Prince Zhu Hebi was about to shoot first, but when he saw a sound of horse hooves coming from behind, his face suddenly tightened, his eyes flashed slightly, and then he tied the reins and flashed aside.

In the smoke and dust, Zhu Heqi held a gun in one hand and took out a bullet from the saddle's bag in the other hand, and loaded it in the speeding speed to aim.

With a "bang", as the gunshots sounded, the gourd hanging on the willow tree exploded, and a dove flew up from it with its wings. Seven or eight white feathers fell, and they flew out more than ten meters before falling down.

Zhu Heji rode his horse around the willow tree and fired several shots in a row, all of which hit the gourd, and the flying pigeon inside flew away.

"The Second Prince hit all five shots!"

The surrounding school guards and ministers immediately cheered loudly, and for a moment, there was a thunderous applause in the martial arts venue.

Zhu Heji returned with a proud look on his face. When he was intertwined with Zhu Hebi, he said, "Your Highness, the prince, I have finished the performance, it's your turn!"

On the viewing platform, there were civil and military ministers active in their minds. The Second Highness stole the limelight and truly suppressed the morale of the prince's lineage in public.

Just looking at His Majesty's face, he did not show any strangeness. Could it be that the emperor deliberately let it go?

The nobles from the prince's lineage all looked angry and looked at the second prince in a bad manner.

Prince Zhu Hebi smiled slightly and said, "Second brother is good at it. Just talking about martial arts, brother is not as good as you!"

Xu Mingwu was amazed by the side. The prince was not only calm and calm, but also very smart.

After saying this, even if he performed again, he would have made a preview in advance. Not only did he show humility towards his brothers in front of others, but he also found a step forward for himself in his next performance.

More importantly, the prince expressed the sentence "Only speaking, the martial arts elder brother is not as good as you" even more obscurely. I am not as good as you when I am fighting martial arts and shooting. I am much better than you in governing the country!

A master!

After Zhu Hebi politely said this, he raised his head slightly, rode his horse forward, and gradually accelerated.

The prince was polite on the surface, but he was very careful in his actions. He even shot several shots in a row while he was racing around the willow, and he also shot five shots.

But I don't know if it's angry or what's going on, but a shot hit the center of the gourd and shot the pigeon inside to death.

As he said himself, the eldest brother is not as good as you, and now he is really inferior to the second prince. However, he greeted him in advance, and no one laughed at him. Instead, he felt that the prince was really humble.

Zhu Cilang on the stage looked at him and didn't say anything. He raised his hand gently to signal the shooting skills to continue.

Next, the performance of the nobles of each family is the manifestation.

In order to show their performance in front of the emperor, they were like they were injected with chicken blood. Only Xu Mingwu was absent-minded and fired a few shots at will.

However, he has a foundation and is not a problem with shooting sparrows. He is naturally not a problem with shooting such a big gourd. He can hit all the hits without considering the situation of the pigeon. He also injured one or two people and did not fly high.

About half an hour later, Zhu Cixuan looked at the report card of these noble children and smiled slightly on his face.

This second-generation official is pretty good. From the grades, I can see that I have practiced it seriously and I don’t have a complete fool.

Next, we will test these unscrupulous nobles to see if they are fancy or really capable!

Zhu Cixuan stood at the general's platform, smiled at the sky and said loudly: "Your fathers and ancestors are outstanding generals who follow me to conquer the world. They have laid the vast territory of our Ming Dynasty!"

"Now they are old, in the future, the vast territory needs you to protect and continue to explore! Answer me, can you defend it! Can you continue the past and forge ahead?"

"able!"

"able!"

"able!"

Dozens of noble children were moved, with a firm expression on their faces, shouting in unison, expressing lofty ideals.

"good!"

Zhu Cilang was very happy and said with a change of tone: "Then you will perform well today. In the next siege, those who perform well will follow me to personally conquer the Western Regions! Pair the Junggar, defeat Tsarist Russia, and march into Central Asia!"

"Yes!" Everyone shouted with excitement.

However, Zhu Ciyang's words changed the expressions of civil and military officials present. They had not received any news that the emperor wanted to personally conquer the Western Regions in advance. Such a sudden announcement really scared everyone.

The smoke of wolf was everywhere, and the horns were as famous as the horns. The Tianwu Army and the Longwu Army cavalry who came to the exercise held battle flags and rushed to all directions to form a vast flag formation, surrounding the hunting ground, and the most outstanding hunting process began!

Seeing the army moving and exuding a strong battlefield atmosphere, the nobles felt indescribable. Everyone was excited and wanted to ride their horses to hunt down prey now!

Finally, the sound of attacking drums and whistles sounded, and these guys in fresh clothes and angry horses rushed into the deep forest at the foot of Shenlie Mountain like wild horses with reins.

Xu Mingwu rode a horse at the end, carrying Wu Shi rifle on his back and carrying a knife on his waist, feeling surprisingly calm.

He was a little confused. Why was there no guards following this time? The imperial edict also specifically required that each person only had one personal guard to follow? Is the emperor not afraid that the prince would be taken away by a tiger?

Xu Mingwu shook his head, without thinking too much, took out the topographic map and swept it quickly, and then followed Princess Zhaoyang and chased him slowly, wanting to protect the little beauty.

On the stage, Zhu Cilang leaned slightly against the dragon pedestal, looked at the royal nobles who were leaving, and sighed lightly.

Beside him, the Imperial Army Commander Cao Minghao leaned over and whispered: "Your Majesty, will this siege be too dangerous? After all, they are all golden branches and jade leaves."

As a close minister around the emperor, Cao Minghao knew that this year's autumn hunting was very different from previous years. In the past, they were hunting wild animals, but this year, they were hunting for a group of fierce madmen.

Most of the madmen were Japanese prisoners of war from that time, as well as some Cossack prisoners who had been escorted to Beijing by the Protectorate of the Northern Region in previous years. These guys were transformed for several years and still ignored them. They were loyal to the old masters, resisted the transformation of the Ming Dynasty, and often attacked supervisors, and were very proud!

Cao Minghao was deeply worried in his heart by releasing these veterans who had been on the battlefield as prey for the nobles' children. After all, the prince and the two high men were among them. If there was a good thing

Zhu Cixuan said in a deep voice: "The battlefield is far more cruel than the hunting ground. I can't even pass this level. How can I go to the battlefield and become a commander in the future?"

Looking at the expressionless and quiet emperor, Cao Minghao kept wiping his sweat and could only pray silently in his heart.
