Tyrant Whitewashing Plan [Transmigration Book]
Chapter 106
If it is said that when Ashnak proposed to compare arrows, no matter whether everyone thought the request was rude or feasible, all the civil and military officials of the Great Xiao and other foreign missions could still discuss a few words in a low voice during the meeting, then After Ashnak finished talking about who he was going to compete with, the entire Baiyu Terrace fell silent.
Both the audience was shocked, and the audience was silent, with no one making a sound.
That's right, all the emperors of the Great Xiao Dynasty were good at riding and shooting, and the grandfather of Emperor Yunhong, that is, the grandfather of Xiao Jining's Taihuang, was even more outstanding. Repelling the border for more than [-] miles, the Great Xiao's prestige shocked the tribes of the border countries for a hundred years.In Xiao Jining's generation, even if Emperor Yunhong left a mess after his death, and his sons made the Da Xiao country into a miasma for the sake of the throne, the undercurrents were surging, and the infighting was endless, and the one in charge was still Xiao Jining, who looked at his appearance The prince is soft, slender, and has no imperial temperament, but Turkic is not completely sure of victory, and he dare not rashly provoke a war on the border.
But the inability to fight a real battle does not mean that the Turks need to respect Great Xiao. After all, the arrival of this battle is only a matter of time.
And no matter how good the emperors of the Great Xiao were at riding and shooting, even the second and fourth princes who reigned extremely short, not to mention piercing Yang with a hundred steps, can be regarded as shooting arrows without fail, ensuring that every arrow they shoot will empty target.
But among these emperors who were good at riding and shooting, Xiao Jining was not included.
Because all the officials in the court of the Great Xiao knew that Xiao Ji Ning could not ride and shoot - among the princes who had been told by Emperor Yun Hong that there was no need to learn to ride and shoot, one was the weak and sickly third prince, and the other was the restrained and quiet prince who was said to be The ninth prince who is good at writing but not good at martial arts.
No one thought that Xiao Ji Ning would ascend the throne in the end, and no one thought about hiding the news.Besides, this cannot be concealed, everyone will just keep their mouths shut after Xiao Jining ascends the throne and ignore this matter.
The Turks regarded Great Xiao as their old enemy, and they also knew Xiao Jining's weakness as early as the day Xiao Jining ascended the throne.
Although it is a bit bullying to shoot arrows with a person who doesn't know how to bow and arrow, Ashnak doesn't care at all. Only people in the Central Plains are bound by those etiquette. In his eyes, victory is the only rule of survival in this world. In order to win War requires all means, and besides, he didn't really want to compete with Xiao Jining in archery, he just deliberately used this weakness to humiliate Xiao Jining.
Seeing that Xiao Jining was stunned after his words fell, Ashnak could not hide his panic, like a little rabbit who was startled by arrows in the hunting forest. He enjoyed being able to kill the emperor of a country Forced to such a situation, the arc of his lips became deeper and deeper, and he raised his voice and asked again: "Your Majesty, are you willing?"
At the beginning of Xiao Jining's ascension to the throne, some officials disapproved of Xiao Jining's succession because of this reason, but they couldn't hold back the fourth prince's abdication. It's not enough for the prince's blood to be special, but the only seventh prince they were waiting for was the first few who stood up to support Xiao Jining's ascension to the throne.
In the end the sixth prince was left, rather than letting him ascend the throne, it would be better to let Xiao Jining.
What's more, there is still the Jing family who holds the power to support Xiao Jining, so how can the officials have any choice?
The white jade stage was still silent, and the people all over the stage could only hear the sound of banners flying in the wind, as if there was a fight without weapons, they held their breath and stared at Xiao Jining on the high seat without blinking.
Even Jing Yuan lost his composure for a moment, clenched his hands into fists and subconsciously took a step in Xiao Jining's direction, but stopped soon.
No one will speak out at this moment, because once they change the subject, or bluntly say that Xiao Jining can't ride and shoot, they are slapping Xiao Guo in the face, and slapping Xiao Jining in the face is tantamount to admitting Xiao Guo's emperor is a waste who can't even ride and shoot.
So no matter whether it was agreeing or rejecting, Xiao Jining could only open the mouth.
Ashnak laughed and said, "If your majesty is unwilling—"
"you say……"
Just when everyone thought that in the end, the one who took the seat was such a cowardly emperor who didn't even dare to answer directly, and that Da Xiao would definitely lose face once today, Xiao Jining spoke.
His voice was very soft, with some illusory distantness, and he interrupted Ashnak's words slowly but unquestionably.
He also stood up from the chair and slowly walked to the imperial table step by step, but did not walk down the steps, but stopped and stood on the high platform.
Ashnak also saw that the blankness in his eyes quickly turned into a kind of emptiness, and the vacant eyes also moved down and fell on him, and asked him: "Say, you want to compare with me in archery." ?”
"Yes, Your Majesty Yun Chu." The interest in Ashnak's eyes was even stronger, he bent down a little, but his eyes did not lower, staring at Xiao Jining firmly.
But at the moment when his words fell, the eyes of the young emperor, who was as white as snow and looked as weak as the wind, were slightly red, and there was still a layer of watery light like autumn mist on his pupils, which made Ashnak almost think that he The man was bullied and cried, but the next moment the young man smiled softly, and the smile grew bigger and bigger. Finally, he raised his head with his hands behind his back and laughed endlessly at the clear sky, as if hearing an extremely ridiculous joke, calling everyone Everyone was astonished.
Ashnak didn't feel offended, he was just curious: "Your Majesty, what are you laughing at?"
The young man lowered his head to look at him again, but there was no trace of redness around his eyes, but there was some water in his eyes, but Ashnak could no longer tell whether these were the tears he left just now, or the tears from his raised head laughing.
"Ashnak." Xiao Jining called Ashnak's name, but this time his voice was no longer weak and misty, but clear and clear, as if what everyone saw just now was just an illusion.
The boy admitted frankly: "You know, I have never learned how to ride and shoot."
Now that Xiao Jining admitted so readily, Ashnak was somewhat surprised, but he didn't wait for him to speak.
Xiao Jining put his hands behind his back and walked down the steps step by step from the high platform. His clothes were fluttering and fluttering. He raised his hands, looked at his pampered, white fingers, and said loudly: "The Great Xiao is full of officials. Testify for me, my hands have never touched a bow and arrow since the day I was born. I am not like your Turkic children. Before they can walk, they will have a set of bows and arrows for playing at home. When they finish learning to walk and then learn to ride a horse—”
He stood still in front of Ashnak, and said firmly: "Because that is the foundation of your Turk's survival, but it is not my way of survival."
Ashnak didn't understand why Xiao Jining was obviously a little shorter than him, but when the young man stood in front of him face to face like this, he still felt that Xiao Jining was sitting on the emperor's chair, high above him, so far away from him, As he praised him, it was the bright moon in the sky, the clouds floating in the sky, someone he could never touch.
He replied to Xiao Jining: "I don't know."
The boy smiled again, tilted his head slightly, and looked innocent and pure: "You really don't know?"
"So—" Ashnak didn't answer Xiao Jining's question directly, but instead asked him, "Your Majesty Yun Chu, are you going to compete with me in archery?"
Xiao Jining did not immediately answer his question, but walked slowly to the center of the Baiyu Terrace, so that everyone could see his face clearly, and then said: "Compare, I will compare with you."
As soon as Xiao Jining's words fell, there was an uproar in the field, some officials looked at each other, covered their lips with their hands and whispered in another person's ear, but the emperor on Baiyutai seemed to dislike this courtier Like a disrespectful scene, he raised his eyes and looked at them.
These almond eyes, which usually looked docile and harmless, made all the courtiers shut their mouths in silence at this moment.
Only then did the young man seem satisfied, he smiled again, turned to Ashnak and said, "I will compete with you, but I have to decide the rules."
"Okay." Ashnak agreed readily, "How does His Majesty want to compare?"
Xiao Jining didn't answer Ashnak's question, but walked to Jing Yuan's side.
Without Xiao Jining speaking, Jing Yuan lowered his head and listened to Xiao Jining's ear.
Afterwards, Jing Yuan took a deep look at Xiao Jining, and said in a deep voice, "Okay."
Xiao Jining pursed his lips and smiled at Jing Yuan, responding to the worry and concern in the man's eyes with the tenderness in his eyes.
Afterwards, Jing Yuan bowed to Xiao Jining and stepped back, following Xiao Jining's instructions to prepare things.
And Xiao Jining continued: "Since it's a competition of archery, then it's not enough to compare one arrow with three arrows, dozens of arrows are enough."
"Dozens of arrows?" Ashnak raised his eyebrows.
It must be known that a bow is not light, and the strength and vigor required to shoot an arrow are also very particular. Can Xiao Jining shoot dozens of arrows with his body?
"Yes." Xiao Jining nodded, with no expression on his face, "I have never learned riding and archery, so the shooting range is only set at 70 meters."
In the Great Xiao Qiuhun, the shooting range is set to start from [-] meters, but Xiao Jining's situation is special after all. He, a person who has never learned riding and archery, is willing to compete with Ashina Ke in archery, which is unexpected by everyone, so he mentioned this Ask everyone to have no objection.
Ashnak also nodded and said, "Okay."
Xiao Jining slowly raised the corners of his lips, and there was a look of nostalgia in his eyes that no one could understand, but there was some pain mixed with that nostalgia: "This arrow, shoot a total of six groups, each group has six arrows, and each group has six arrows. Arrows need to be shot within ten breaths, and after a quarter of an hour rest, shoot again as described just now, shooting a total of 72 arrows, and the result is based on the number of rings..."
Xiao Jining explained what the number of rings is, what is the arrow group, and the rules of the Olympic archery competition to Ashnak.
The doubts in Ashnak's eyes became more and more intense, but what fueled them more and more was his curiosity and interest in Xiao Jining and his fighting spirit—he felt that maybe Xiao Jining could really become his opponent.
During this period, Xi Shu and Jing Yuan quickly prepared the things that Xiao Ji Ning had ordered, and asked them to move them to the Baiyu Terrace.
Those are two archery targets according to Olympic standards, with a yellow center as the center and blue as the side.
Ashnak, who understood Xiao Jining's rules, didn't show much confusion about the target, and asked Xiao Jining with a smile: "Your Majesty, can we start then?"
Both the audience was shocked, and the audience was silent, with no one making a sound.
That's right, all the emperors of the Great Xiao Dynasty were good at riding and shooting, and the grandfather of Emperor Yunhong, that is, the grandfather of Xiao Jining's Taihuang, was even more outstanding. Repelling the border for more than [-] miles, the Great Xiao's prestige shocked the tribes of the border countries for a hundred years.In Xiao Jining's generation, even if Emperor Yunhong left a mess after his death, and his sons made the Da Xiao country into a miasma for the sake of the throne, the undercurrents were surging, and the infighting was endless, and the one in charge was still Xiao Jining, who looked at his appearance The prince is soft, slender, and has no imperial temperament, but Turkic is not completely sure of victory, and he dare not rashly provoke a war on the border.
