Chapter 141 Shooting

Chapter 141

During the talk, Song Nan asked about the prince's lecture, which suddenly touched Zhu Houzhao's words and complained repeatedly.

"Don't mention it, my prince's life is worse than yours. Every single day, I have to receive the bachelors of Fu Hanlin Academy. Every now and then, the big bachelors in the cabinet will also be entrusted by their father to come to see. It's really annoying. The bachelors are all hateful faces, and there are also It's really bitter to scold me with my father's words.

Song Nan is speechless. The future Zhengde Emperor is disgusted with reading so far, which is unexpected. I'm afraid that he is not a servant, because he can see that once the prince comes out of the cabinet to lecture, he will not have a good temper. He will not be comfortable to see anything, which will inevitably affect the pond fish, and it is better to say less trouble.

"Your Highness, you have given me the position of waiter, but I know that I am shallow and knowledgeable, and I am sure that the lecture is not very clear. It's okay to come and talk with Your Highness the Prince. Your Highness, don't force me to suffer that sin."

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "How come? There are as many as six waiters. Don't I just want another hateful guy to come to urge me to lecture? If you often come to the palace, we just talk about interesting things outside the palace."

Song Nan laughed and said, "Then I'm much more relieved."

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said, "Let's go. Xiaojinzi has arranged archery. You can go play with me."

The eunuchs put on armor for Zhu Houzhao and came to a courtyard. They saw that a row of arrows were already in place. Several bodyguards stood there waiting with bows and arrows. Zhu Houzhao happily picked up the bow and arrows and said, "Look at me walking through Yang."

The crowd held their breath and saw Zhu Houzhao bending his bow and arrow, shooting at the arrow target on the side of the courtyard. The arrows flew out like a meteor chasing the moon. Everyone quickly cheered. Unexpectedly, they drank half of the color and quickly stopped. It turned out that the arrow brushed the target and nailed into the wall, but it was not hit.

Zhu Houzhao threw the bow and arrow angrily and said, "Change a bow. This bow and arrow is unusable. It is clearly accurate. How can it deflect so many times?"

Liu Jin hurriedly scolded the little eunuch for changing a bow and arrow. Zhu Houzhao bent his bow and shot again, but it was another empty target. Zhu Houzhao's face could not hang on his face, and his face became ugly. He was a little annoyed that he bent his bow and arrow was about to shoot again. Song Nan hurriedly said, "Your Highness, please wait."

Zhu Houzhao turned his head and said, "What?"

Song Nan said, "The subordinate has learned the art of archery in the Weizhou barracks, and the god archers in the army may not be able to win the arrows, but they will adjust in time after shooting the air. Archery is taboo and impetuousness. His Royal Highness calm down, and the third arrow will be hit."

Zhu Houzhao said, "Oh? Is there so much attention to archery?

Song Nan said, "Of course, when the god archers in the army shoot the target, they will also draw a portrait of the tartar on the target to increase their hatred of the tar. Both the head and the force are greatly strengthened, which is very useful."

Zhu Houzhao waved his head and ordered, "Little Jinzi, put a portrait on the target."

Liu Jin said, "Who did you post? Is it a tazi? This needs to be drawn by the painter.

Zhu Houzhao said, "No, just post Mr. Liu. Isn't there a portrait of him in the lecture hall? Didn't he scold me today? I'm going to give him an arrow."

Everyone was dumbfounded. Zhang Yong came up and said, "Your Highness, this can't be done. Is it okay to spread it out?"

Zhu Houzhao said, "Is it spread out? Which of you is impatient to talk nonsense outside?

Everyone was speechless, and Song Nan also rolled his eyes. It can be imagined how much the prince should hate reading, but he just shot his portrait, and it's not really shot people, which is not a big deal.

The little eunuch took Liu Jian's portrait and hung it on the target. Zhu Houzhao pulled the bowstring vigorously. Song Nan waved his arm behind him and shouted softly, "S shoot."

Zhu Houzhao let go of his hand, and the arrow quickly hit the bull'seye. The arrow was nailed to the right eye of the portrait and shot a big hole in the right eye of the portrait.

Zhu Houzhao laughed and said, "It's really effective. Looking at him, I was furious. This arrow is the best arrow I have shot since I practiced archery."

Everyone praised repeatedly, and Liu Jin quickly ordered people to take down the portrait and destroy it. Such things must not be spread. Once it came out, the group of literary ministers in the court had to blow up.

Song Nan applauded and said, "The prince is very smart, and it's easy to understand, but in the future, it's better to get some portraits of the tars on the target when practicing archery. The tartars attack my border town. It's also a good story for the prince to practice archery and flatten the traps in the future."

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "What is said is that Liu University is innocent. He just wants me to learn some ways to govern the country. Just now, I was just joking. Xiao Yongzi, tomorrow asked the painter to draw dozens of portraits of the Taras for later use."

Zhang Yong quickly agreed. Zhu Houzhao proudly went to check the arrow target that was shot. Liu Jin quietly came to Song Nan and said, "Song Shidu, thank you very much. If His Royal Highness is a portrait of the sun-shooting bachelors, our heads will not be guaranteed."

Song Nan smiled and said, "Eunuch Liu is so polite. The prince knows everything, just need to guide him properly."

Liu Jin picked up his big finger and said, "It's still Song Shi's reading with strong eyesight, and he can spend more time with the prince in the future."

Song Nan was slightly stunned. Liu Jin's words were a compliment, but Song Nan heard a sour smell.

Zhu Houzhao was very interested in fighting and shooting. While practicing archery, Song Nan also told him about the battle between the Tatars in Weizhou. Speaking of the important points, Zhu Houzhao opened his eyes and clenched his fists and became nervous. When he heard the battle of the victory in Weizhou, Zhu Hou He said enviously, "I didn't expect that you and I are the same age. I don't see the sun in this palace every day, but you have made great contributions in killing the Tats and galloping on the battlefield. I really envy you."

Song Nan laughed and said, "The prince is the way to govern the country by learning the world. We are just reckless men. In the future, the prince will govern the Ming Dynasty with strong national strength, and the Taran will not dare to do anything at that time."

Zhu Houzhao said, "No, I will personally lead the army to fight a battle with the Tatans in the future. I heard that the Tatar country has been very happy in the border town recently. I hope they will be more fierce. At that time, I will destroy them in one fell swoop. The godfather and ministers will see my skills."

Song Nan said, "The prince is ambitious. I believe there will be such a day."

Zhu Houzhao said, "Then let's go together. Xiaojinzi and Xiaoyongzi will all go. Everyone has to make achievements in the war, which is called scenery."

Liu Jin smiled and said, "The maidservants are waiting for this day and follow His Royal Highness to gallop on the battlefield to kill the Tatans."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes were shining, and he was obviously very yearning for it. Song Nan thought that he was just addicted to his mouth, but once he had a chance, Zhu Houzhao might really go there in person.

At noon, Zhu Houzhao left Song Nan to eat, saying that he was left to eat, but it was just that the prince ate alone. Song Nan and several eunuchs around the prince sat together. Of course, Song Nan also needed this opportunity to have a good relationship with several close eunuchs around the prince.

Under the introduction of Liu Jin and Zhang Yong, Song Nan met several other eunuchs. The fat middle-aged eunuch was named Ma Yongcheng, the smiling Gao Feng, the wrinkled Luo Xiang, the capable Wei Bin, the gloomy Qiu Ju, and the lively Gu Dayiful.

Song Nan was also very straightforward. He took out the prepared silver ticket from his arms and gave each person a 100 taels of gift. Before Song Nan came, he thought very clearly that no matter how much the prince valued him, if he wanted to live in the East Palace, he had to deal with these guys, and the filial piety of money was inevitable. The eunuch loves money and everyone knows that he doesn't have to bother to prepare any gifts. Sometimes ** naked silver filial piety is more useful than anything else.

When the eunuchs saw that Song Nan was smart and sensible, they gradually became enthusiastic about Song Nan. They toasted and picked up vegetables. It can be seen that they are soft-mouthed with short hands. If they have money to make ghosts grind, it is an unbreakable saying.

In the afternoon, Zhu Houzhao wanted to take a nap, and Song Nan said goodbye to leave the palace. Zhu Houzhao told him to come to the palace every three or five days a month. This is the day to leave the cabinet to lecture. Naturally, the reading should be present. At the same time, he can also come and play together in his spare time. Song Nan agreed one by one.

After resigning, Liu Jin couldn't see him off because he had to serve Zhu Houzhao for a nap. Zhang Yong sent Song Nan out of the palace instead of him and went to a secluded place. Zhang Yong suddenly grabbed Song Nan and asked softly, "Soong Shidu, has the murderer who poisoned you that day ever had an eyebrow?"

Song Nan didn't want to reveal that she was investigating this matter, so she said, "I'm afraid it won't be found. The whereabouts of the poisoner is very mysterious."

Seeing that there was no one around, Zhang Yong came close to Song Nan's ear and said, "Song Shidu, let me tell you some news. Several publics around our prince also talked about this matter in private. Liu Jin and I both thought it was made by the people of the East Factory. That day, you helped us get out of trouble. The people of the East Factory must hate you very much, and poisoning you is also a revenge. "

Song Nan said, "It's useless without evidence to doubt. I also think it's them, but what's the use?"

Zhang Yong said, "These hateful Dongchang dogs, it's a pity that we can't do anything about them. I'm just reminding you to beware of them attacking you again. They are like mad dogs, and they won't let go when they bite. I see that you are a good person and have the intention to make friends with you before I say these words. I would never say anything else.

Song Nan arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Zhang. Please take care of me in the future."

Zhang Yong said, "Do you still need to say that? His Royal Highness is good to you. Today is the happiest day I see him, but you should also be careful. Some people may hate you because of this, but not everyone is as kind as me.

Song Nan said in a beneconsiderate: "What? Will the prince be jealous if he treats me well?

Zhang Yong smiled and said, "What do you think? This is the prince, the future emperor! Isn't it normal for people around you to compete for favor? Slowly speaking, even if our family is around the prince, we have to beware of the people around us. In short, you should be careful. Let's communicate with each other. If there is any news, our two brothers can contact each other. We are harmless, but if others want to harm us, they can't be captured.

Song Nan nodded slowly. In fact, she also knew that the eunuchs around the prince must not be a piece of iron, and it was common for them to compete with each other, but she didn't expect that this forever would win over her so quickly. It seemed that the contradiction between them was much more violent than she thought.

Outside Dong'an Gate, the sun was shining brightly on the snow. Song Nan took the horse to say goodbye to Zhang Yong, turned over and galloped along the clean street where the ice was melting.
