(Please subscribe to the collection) Chapter 223
"Your Majesty, we are here. I deserve to die, but the princess is all right." Song Nan shouted.
After a long time, on the edge of the snow ditch, Zhengde, Liu Jin and a band of accompanying bodyguards poked out their heads. Song Nan stood below with Zhu Xiufu and looked up.
Zhengde breathed a sigh of relief and ordered people to leave the rope and pull Song Nan and Zhu Xiufu up; Liu Jin scolded: "Lord Song, you are too outrageous. How can you let the princess take risks? Look, how will you deal with such a deep gully if something happens to the princess?
Zhu Xiufu smiled and said, "Eunuch Liu, it's none of Lord Song's business. I'm going to slide down. Not only did Lord Song hurt me, but I was injured because I saved my forehead, but you blame him."
Liu Jin hurriedly said, "I know my mistakes."
Zhu Xiufu looked at Song Nan and said with a smile, "It's really fun."
Song Nanxin said: It's funny.
After being thrilled, everyone was slightly tired, so they rested in the pavilion at the foot of the mountain. The accompanying eunuchs put the warm food on the charcoal fire, made tea, and ate something to replenish their strength.
Zhengde was very happy and asked Song Nan, "How did you learn this way to play? It's my first time to play this kind of thing. It's really refreshing.
Song Nan said, "I also learned from others. When I was in Weizhou, I had Luosha merchants who came to Weizhou to do business. After getting acquainted with him, he once told him about the customs of Rasha. This method of skiing was also taught by him."
Zhengde said, "Rasha Kingdom? Will the northern barbarians have fun like this?
Song Nan smiled and said, "They are not used to play. The country is cold and the carriages and horses are difficult to walk, so they use this method of skiing. I heard from the merchants of the Rasha country that the soldiers and horses of the Rasha Kingdom are also equipped with these snowboards, sliding like the wind, which is very convenient to travel, and they can glide and shoot bows in battle, which is very tough. ."
Zhengde leisurely said, "It's also interesting. If tens of thousands of people glide along the hillside, it will be difficult to resist."
Song Nan smiled and said, "It's not that easy. Who will be stupid enough to stand low and let them charge? The Taranian cavalry is also quite fierce, but didn't my Ming border army make them run away with their heads in their arms? Therefore, it is in vain to fight wits but not to fight against strength.
Zhengde nodded and smiled, "Well said; speaking of which, I really envy you. You have fought and seen many things. I can only stay in this palace every day. After a few days of annual leave, I have to get up early to go to court every day. It's really boring."
Zhengde sighed and his eyes were full of sadness.
Song Nan is speechless. You are the emperor. What else do you want to do? What a strange person; but think about it, under the supervision of such a stubborn literary minister in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor was not so good.
Liu Jin suddenly said, "Your Majesty, if you feel depressed, we can go out to patrol the border, so that the emperor can not only boost the morale of the border towns, but also enjoy the magnificent scenery of the Ming Dynasty and relax, isn't it good?"
Zhengde's eyes lit up and immediately dimmed and said, "I think so, but I'm afraid the officials of the foreign court will come to persuade them again. I can't always deal with them with boards, can I?"
Liu Jin said, "If the emperor wants to patrol the west or the north, the maidservant will come to give the emperor ideas. He always teaches the cabinet and the people of the foreign court not to talk much. Besides, this is a good thing. What reason do they have to stop them? Border Town and the Tircon has been arguing. Hasn't Liu Daxia, the minister of the Ministry of War, been clamoring about increasing the defense of the border town and requiring funding from the Ministry of Household? The emperor's on-site investigation happened to take this trip, didn't he just gag them?"
Zhengde patted his thigh and said, "Exactly, I forgot about it; Xiao Jinzi, go and explore the wind."
Liu Jin bowed and said, "I obey."
Song Nan was silent. Liu Jin did have some ability. As long as he did what Zhengde wanted to do, he would satisfy Zhengde. No wonder Zhengde was quite dependent on him. However, this inspection is obviously inappropriate, not to mention pretending to be public for personal gain. It is a little nonsense to visit the border town. Just by the eunuch insang the emperor to go out of the palace to inspect the border town, Wang Zhen in the orthodox years has learned from the past. But Song Nan did not open his mouth to dissuade him, because Song Nan still didn't want Zhengde to dissuade him. These things could only be done by those who should be done, and he just listened to them.
"Song Nan, if I go out, you have to accompany me. After all, you have fought a war and stayed in the border town. I want you to go with me."
Song Nan thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to remind you that the trouble of the Tsars in the border town is serious. Maybe you will encounter the Tsars. The emperor should think twice."
Zhengde smiled and said, "I'm still afraid that I won't meet the Tari. I just want to fight with the Tari in person. I have read a lot of military books, learned riding and shooting and other skills, and have never been useful."
Song Nan was speechless. Zhengde did like to ride and shoot. I remember that as soon as he entered the uterus, he saw Zhengde shooting arrows and shooting targets. Not to mention the factors of nonsense, Zhengde was not a coward.
Liu Jin lost no time and said sarcastically, "Isn't Lord Song afraid of Talicans? If he is afraid, the emperor doesn't have to force Lord Song."
Song Nan laughed it off, but Zhengde took the lead for Song Nan and said, "Nonsense, Song Nan won a complete victory with 100 pairs of 700 salam cavalry in Weizhou. Will he be afraid? Xiao Jinzi, when you encounter such a battle, I'm afraid you will be scared to pee in your pants.
Liu Jin looked ugly and smiled and said, "That's right. I don't have that ability, but I'm not afraid to follow the emperor on patrol. Even if I meet a hundred times more than the emperor's own Tatan soldiers, with the emperor's strategy and divine power, didn't they defeat them with one enemy? Maybe the Tarans will escape wherever the emperor can reach."
Zhengde laughed and said, "I don't dare to fight against me, but if the Tarans really run away from the wind, how can I face them?"
Song Nan almost laughed. Zhengde is really ridiculous, but maybe this is the self-confidence of being the Lord of the world. This kind of self-confidence is also quite strange.
Liu Jin thought about Zhengde's thoughts and immediately thought about the countermeasures and said, "It's no wonder that the emperor is so worried. If so, the maidservant suggested that we simply go out secretly and don't say hello to the foreign court. Let's secretly bring some soldiers and horses to catch the serrats off guard."
Zhengde smiled and applauded, "Good way, good way."
Song Nan frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate."
Zhengde said, "What's wrong?"
Song Nan said, "The safety of the emperor is the most important. If you travel secretly, how can you rescue him if something happens?"
Liu Jin said, "What can I do? Are the soldiers and horses in the border town vegetarian? Where did Lord Song's spirit go back then?
Song Nan said lightly, "The safety of my ministers alone can naturally be ignored. This is the emperor. Eunuch Liu, you should think about it. Everything is unpredictable. Don't blame me for not reminding you."
Liu Jin was also a little fury and flattered by Song Nan. If something really happened, she couldn't cope with it.
Zhengde laughed and said, "Don't worry too much, that's why I want you to go on patrol with me. You used to be ten, and I can be a hundred. We are not alone. General Han's fork knives also take hundreds, and there are local guards. There will be nothing wrong unless Song Nan, you don't want to go with me."
Song Nan hurriedly said, "How can I not be willing to drive with you? As long as the emperor needs it, I will always be by the emperor's side."
Zhengde smiled and said, "Isn't this over? What else do you want to say? Eat something quickly. I still have to go skiing. I haven't played enough yet.
Zhengde was happy, but Princess Corning no longer skied. Not only Song Nan, but Zhengde would not allow it. When everyone watched Zhengde play under the hillside, Corning's big watery eyes began to be unscrupulous. Song Nan's scalp exploded and secretly warned herself not to make a bad life.
This is a princess, not an ordinary woman outside. What happened today is unforgivable. If it continues, I don't know what will come out. Moreover, Song Nan doesn't like Zhu Xiufu's style. As a royal princess, she is so bold after seeing her a few times, which inevitably makes Song Nan criticate her behavior.
In addition, I have been deeply in debt, especially the little princess. Even if the princess intends to do so, she can't agree. The little princess should be her wife. If she is unclear with this princess, she is undoubtedly looking for her own death.
Song Nan looked at his nose and ignored Zhu Xiufu's affectionate eyes. Zhu Xiufu was slightly annoyed and soon left angrily, making Zhengde confused. Song Nan was a little worried. According to Zhu Xiufu's style, if he said something too much in front of Zhengde, Zhengde would not tear himself alive.
It was so easy to wait for Zhengde to be full of interest, and it was already afternoon. Song Nan returned to his house after leaving the palace. She had just taken a hot bath to relax, but it was noisy outside. Lu Qingli rushed in and woke up Song Nan, who was soaking in the wooden barrel and said, "The palace has come to reward you to accept the order."
Song Nan was a little surprised. Why didn't Zhengde directly reward him when he left the palace, but now he sent someone to reward him. There was no time to think about it. Song Nan wiped his body and put on his clothes to receive the reward, but found that it was not the servant beside the emperor, but a female official; the hall was full of rewarded cloth, calligraphy and paintings and all kinds of things.
Song Nan asked doubtfully, "Is it the emperor's reward?"
The female official said with a smile, "Lord Song, take the reward. This is a reward from Her Royal Highness Princess Corning."
Song Nan stood still like five thunderbolts. Paralyzed, this matter seems to be endless.
