Ma Ye

A few days later, the autumn hunting began. Early in the morning, Tan Haozhi followed the large army. There were thousands of people in the mighty team. Tan Haozhi followed the dragon chariot, absent-minded.

Qin Hao's military uniform really surprised many people in the crowd. The well-tailored cyan body was tied around the waist, a black silver-rimmed wristband was wrapped around his wrist, and his black hair was tied behind his head. I can't help feeling that I don't know whether people depend on clothes or clothes. Master Tan thinks that whatever he wears looks good and doesn't look funny.

The hunting ground dedicated to the royal family is still some distance away from the imperial city. When we arrived at the hunting ground, it was already late, and the palace people had already set up tents to rest. Bring a basin of water to wash off the dust on the road.

After Tan Haozhi rested for a while, he heard His Majesty begin to pass on the message.

It was the first time for Tan Haozhi to come to the hunting ground. Not far from the grassland on the flat ground of the tent, there was a jungle with tall trees, and the perimeter was surrounded by guardrails to prevent outsiders from entering.

The hunting began, and His Majesty set the rules, counting by size, the top three who caught the number of prey will be rewarded.

As a civil servant, Tan Haozhi naturally wouldn't compete with the military officers, but just followed the emperor on horseback.

Zhao Heng also followed the emperor not far away to protect the safety of the emperor.

Tan Haozhi didn't dare to take a closer look, he only took a glance, then looked away, and followed slowly on his horse.

With a quiver on his back, His Majesty was dressed in a bright yellow military uniform, and suddenly lost his warm demeanor. Looking majestic and majestic, he rode a horse leisurely and turned around to talk to the people around him.

"Tan Aiqing should follow me closely, you have never been to a hunting ground, don't get lost and be picked up by wild animals." The emperor said to him with a smile.

Tan Haozhi was slightly startled, was the emperor joking with him, or reminded him that the regent wanted to kill him in the hunting ground.

After hunting with His Majesty all afternoon, he didn't see any assassins, but His Majesty hunted a deer and several hares.

When we returned to the camp, it was already Youshi, His Majesty happily proposed to have a bonfire feast today, hand over the prey hunted by the officials to the palace staff, and count the prey hunted by each person.

In autumn, it gets dark very quickly, accompanied by the bright orange and burning clouds in the sky, sprinkled on the vast prairie of the hunting ground, people can’t help but feel comfortable watching it, some people are flattering and praising His Majesty’s blessings, this is really a rare beauty ah.

The emperor smiled and couldn't help but look at the person standing behind the regent, Zhang Changxi.

It's been a long time since I saw him, and it's been a while since I heard that he came back, but today is the first time they meet.

Naturally, some officials also saw that the Prince Regent brought a young man specially, so they couldn't help but quietly inquire.

"That son is the eldest son of the Prince Regent."

"Oh, it looks a bit similar to Lord Tan."

"Hehe, it doesn't matter if you've only been an official in the court for a few years and don't understand, that Mr. Zhang was once His Majesty's accompanying student. I think Mr. Tan is also thanks to his blessing to be promoted so quickly."

"So that's it. Do you think Mr. Tan has any other relationship with the Prince Regent?"

"Who knows, the more you know, the less you can keep your head."

The two fishing officials tacitly shut up.

At night, the fire was shining, and all the officials talked and laughed happily, drinking tea and wine, eating the prey hunted during the day, watching the graceful dance, forgetting the tiredness of today's day, so happy.

Tan Haozhi drank tea dully, and occasionally took the words thrown by others, but he never dared to look aside. Zhao Heng sat beside him. Thinking of the unhappiness between the two of them a few days ago, Tan Haozhi became more and more anxious. Feeling uncomfortable, I wish I could leave my seat, but I still have to drink tea and chat with people as if nothing happened.

Fortunately, the banquet didn't last long, and His Majesty became tired. After His Majesty retired, many people left one after another.

Tan Haozhi followed behind and left the banquet. Zhao Heng stopped holding the wine glass and drank it down with an unhappy expression.

Li Yichong on the side saw it, and felt a little distressed. He learned from the military adviser that Mr. Qin already knew the identity of the boss. Why did the two of them keep fighting for a few days? Those scholars just have a lot of things. There is no such twists and turns together, if you like it, you like it, the poor boss is unhappy every day, Li Yichong is just thinking about whether to help with the medicine, and then the overlord will force his bow, how to win the favor of the beauty? I have no experience, so I can only watch from the sidelines and feel anxious.

How can Mr. Qin refuse such a good person as the boss?Want him to pounce on it early!Li Yichong thought bitterly.

"Who's there!"

At night, His Majesty couldn't sleep, so he walked out of the tent, and the guards who followed soon found a figure sitting there under the big tree.

You must know that feet are banned at night, except for patrolling soldiers, no one is allowed to walk around at will. Could this be an assassin?

The figure moved and walked to the bright spot.

The emperor was slightly taken aback when he saw the man, pretended not to care and said with a smile, "So it's Mr. Zhang."

"Your Majesty, don't let me down, Chang Xi can't be called His Majesty's eldest son."

The emperor smiled and said nothing, and the chief guard on the side said cleverly, "Why is Mr. Zhang here?"

Zhang Changxi said, "I ate too much at the dinner party, so let's walk around here to digest."

"It's late at night, please go back and rest quickly, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Changxi responded, looked at His Majesty who was silently staring into the distance, and said hesitantly, "Changxi has a little thing here, I wonder if Your Majesty is willing to accept it?"

As he spoke, something appeared in his palm.

The guards on the side couldn't help but sneered in their hearts, thinking that Mr. Zhang would come up with some novelty to make the emperor happy.

It turned out to be a grasshopper made of weeds.

The regent is so rampant that even his son doesn't pay attention to the emperor. He dares to put any lowly things in front of the emperor.

The emperor smiled warmly, reached out to take the grasshopper he handed over, and said that Mr. Zhang is really interesting, and I thank you here.

Under the surprised eyes of the guards, Zhang Changxi resigned and left.

However, the emperor stood there for a long time, his expression was flat and neither happy nor angry.

After returning to the tent, the emperor looked at the grasshopper in his hand, and his sanity gradually became blurred.

When he was a teenager, he galloped in this vast world with fresh clothes and angry horses. When he was tired from hunting, he rested under the trees and ate wild fruits picked by the roadside. Zhang Changxi would weave all kinds of strange things out of weeds to make him laugh.

The emperor couldn't help but think of their young days. As the prince's companion, Zhang Changxi pretended to be stable in front of others, but he couldn't escape from behind. Thanks to his harmless and well-behaved face, he was the best at bluffing people.

Zhang Changxi is very smart, learns things quickly, understands a lot of things, but likes to pretend to be clumsy, until Zhang Changxi explained to him when he couldn't figure out an article, the emperor didn't know that he was hiding his clumsiness.

He once asked him why, and he said that if people know that I am smart, wouldn't it be too tiring to keep asking me to answer and explain my concerns?I was too spoiled to bear it.

But the emperor knew that although he was the eldest son of the mansion, he was not born to Princess Ning, so how could he live comfortably.

This is a very interesting companion, thought the Emperor.

As the prince, he is naturally not allowed to leave the palace at will. There are many novelties that Zhang Changxi secretly brought in from outside the palace to gift him.

They became friends.

But when he was 14 years old, his father arranged for him to get in touch with political affairs. At the time of employment, this friend chose to stay away from the court and his side, saying that he would go to the rivers and lakes.

Prince Ning's son, accompanied by the prince, these titles can prove that he will have a promising career in the future.

But the boy in white waved goodbye indifferently.

I don't want to live under your wings, I want to have the power to protect you, to help you when something happens to you, not to collapse with you.

The young man laughed and said, you will be the emperor in the future, how about I be the leader of the martial arts?

The emperor was a little surprised. Since he was a child, his father, who taught him personally, told him all the time that as a monarch, he must be sympathetic to the people.

The emperor is a loner.

The emperor should be the biggest barrier in the world.

No one had ever told him that there was someone to rely on behind the emperor.

So now, will Zhang Changxi still be his reliance?

Is his support still there?

The emperor put down the grasshopper in his hand with a wry smile, time is not forgiving, who still remembers the promise he made when he was young.

Besides, when his father died, Zhang Changxi told him with actions.

The emperor stored the grasshoppers in a red sandalwood incense box, which was full of gadgets, such as spinning tops, marbles, bookmarks, bells, wooden dolls, etc., but the emperor was very precious. The box is put away.

The Grand Duke at the side saw it and sighed faintly. After following the Emperor for these years, he often saw His Majesty take out this red sandalwood box and take it with him everywhere. None are as precious as the baubles inside.
