Multiple crimes

In all fairness, the emperor Yuan Ziyou should be free, and any ninth-rank sesame official is busier than him.

In contrast, early morning can be regarded as the most energy-consuming time of the day.The melodies are endless one after another, as if this country has been drilled into a thousand holes and there is no cure.But busyness was only for the ears—and the head could barely count, if he was willing to think about it.

In short, after sitting on the emperor's throne for more than a month, Yuan Ziyou didn't learn anything except yelling "All Your Honors" twice, on the contrary, he almost started to go wrong.

As for Yan Shuo, he naturally has his own business to attend to.Since Er Zhurong withdrew the eyeliner arranged around them, he left early and returned late all day long without a trace.

It's just that Yuan Ziyou, who is inseparable as an emperor, suffers.With Yan Shuo not around, the bedroom was deserted and deserted.In stark contrast, the General's Mansion, a few miles away, was rumored to hold a big banquet every few days, and it held three or four times in just over a month.

Er Zhurong was obviously not very interested in the new emperor.Except for the first few days after entering the palace, he never asked about Yuan Ziyou's daily life.If it weren't for the morning court every few days, Yuan Ziyou would rarely see him once a month.Wanting to take advantage of the opportunity of the banquet to join in the fun, but waited left and right but couldn't wait for the other party's invitation, and my heart was so anxious and angry that it almost burned.

Finally, at the end of this month, when Er Zhurong was arranging a banquet for all the officials, Yuan Ziyou couldn't help himself and went to the door.

There is no martial law in the general's mansion, the banquet has already started, and the noise of lively celebrations in the mansion can be heard before entering the door.

Since there was no one to guide the way, Yuan Ziyou had no choice but to follow the voice and find the way to the back garden.

The back garden of the General's Mansion is extremely luxurious, no worse than the one in the palace.I saw a few targets scattered in the open space in the garden, and every dozens of officials gathered in one place, riding horses and shooting arrows at the targets in turn.The rest sat in the improvised seats at the other end of the garden, drinking and laughing, having a good time.

After scanning back and forth for a few times, Yuan Ziyou couldn't help feeling surprised to see that one side of the seats was surrounded by well-dressed young women.Speaking of entering the palace, he hasn't seen any women - not counting servants.

"Oh! Isn't this the emperor? What a rare visitor!"

Yuan Ziyou was taken aback by this angry shout.When he turned his head and saw who was coming, he couldn't help frowning.

Yuan Tianmu just finished the sixth round of competition with his colleagues in the army, and hit the bull's-eye every time.In a good mood, he got off the horse and took the seat, wanting to take a break and have a drink by the way, when he happened to see Yuan Ziyou standing beside him in a daze.

Yuan Ziyou was already accustomed to this man's rudeness, so he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and turned around, pretending not to see, and continued to look at those women on his own.

Yuan Tianmu moved closer to look at Yuan Ziyou who didn't respond much, and then followed his gaze, smiling and showing a knowing expression.

"The things in this palace are different from those outside... Speaking of which, the emperor doesn't have any concubines yet, right? How about it? Do you like it? Just tell the general..."

"What? If I want to marry a concubine, I have to get his consent?"

Yuan Ziyou tasted meat at the age of 12, and there was never a shortage of people who warmed the bed around him, so he didn't care about female sex.Besides, from his point of view, all these beautiful women in front of him are all the same, and it is very annoying to pile up in one place.

"No, no, no, I mean, you can ask the general to help the emperor find out... Hehe."

"These are Er Zhurong's people?" Yuan Ziyou suddenly turned his head and asked seriously.

"The general is busy with business all day long, how can he have time to think about this? Your majesty, you really don't know anything? These are Yuan Xu's concubines. The general kindly raised them in the palace and served them with good food and clothing. According to reason It is completely possible to send them to a nunnery or deal with them directly. Of course, if the emperor is interested..."

"Does Er Zhurong have a family?"

"Of course, the general is almost thirty, can he still be single? Your majesty, you are very interested in the general's private affairs!"

Yuan Ziyou didn't answer, but said, "Lend me your horse."

"Horse? The emperor also wants to compete? Can you shoot arrows?"

"I'm not interested in competitions, but I know how to archery. In the past, I was Tian Tian... What kind of eyes do you have! How dare you look down on me!"

"How can you look down on the emperor? You should be punished!"

Yuan Ziyou and Yuan Tianmu raised their heads at the same time, only to see that Er Zhurong had arrived beside them on horseback at some point.

"My minister deserves to die, the crime of provoking the emperor's anger is unforgivable, and I am willing to be punished!" Yuan Tianmu lowered his head with a smile, saying yes again and again.The two sang together, their words were full of jokes, and there was no sign of admitting their mistakes.

Yuan Ziyou didn't care about this, he tilted his head and looked at Er Zhurong with great interest.The latter is wearing a hunting suit today, with his hair tied up behind his head, revealing a section of his snow-white neck.The belt around the waist was tied tightly, making her look even more broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted, with a tall and straight figure.

"What do you want a horse for?" Er Zhurong bent down and asked Yuan Ziyou.

It can be seen that he is in a very good mood today, and he always speaks with a smile.The originally long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly, showing a hint of pampering.

Seeing the emperor staring at him without saying a word, he turned his head and signaled Yuan Tianmu to bring the horse over. "I didn't expect His Majesty to be interested in this." He took out an arrow from the quiver behind him and handed it to Yuan Ziyou together with the bow: "Take it, come and compete with me!"

Yuan Ziyou thought: "I'm not interested, who wants to compete with you?"However, seeing Er Zhurong's excited eyes, he still took the bow and arrow, and got on the horse without saying a word - this guy usually has a cold face, extremely indifferent, and it's rare for him to be so warm to me!

Grasping the rein and slowly following behind Er Zhurong, Yuan Ziyou suddenly became angry again: "He's not for me, he has always been the least of my eyes. He just likes to ride and shoot. He's worse than an arrow!"

Thinking wildly, the two had reached the center of the open space.Er Zhurong casually took the bow and arrow handed over by the guard beside him, nodded to Yuan Ziyou and said, "Your Majesty, I've made a fool of myself." As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out like an arrow off the string.

Yuan Ziyou looked up and saw that when he passed in front of the target, his knees suddenly tightened and clamped the horse's belly, and the horse's front body was slightly lifted up, and at the same time he stretched out his hand to put an arrow on the bow.Yuan Ziyou only felt that his speed stopped suddenly, and before he noticed when the arrow was shot, the applause from the surrounding ministers and military officers sounded in his ears—an arrow hit the bull's-eye.

When it was Yuan Ziyou's turn, he secretly swallowed, and sweat broke out in the palm of the hand holding the arrow.

In fact, his archery skills are very good, but his equestrian skills are not good.It is a little difficult for him to release an arrow steadily while riding a horse, let alone aiming at the target.

Bite the bullet and go on stage, wanting to try to imitate Er Zhurong's movements, but just as he raised his bow and arrow, the horse under him suddenly accelerated and galloped disobediently.Yuan Ziyou was startled, almost fell off the horse, and the target was thrown far behind by the horse in an instant.Hastily turning the horse's head to start over again, he heard undisguised laughter all around him, and cursed secretly, but he was not really angry.

Er Zhurong had already seen that Yuan Ziyou was a novice at this time, so he was embarrassed to say that he couldn't save face.So he stood aside and watched without saying a word.

Here Yuan Ziyou was concentrating all his strength to compete with the animal below him.

He tried several times just now, but every time he was knocked dizzy, his ass was about to split open.The horse seemed to be trying to make things difficult for him, and it only picked critical moments to go crazy and couldn't control it at all.

The laughter in my ears became more and more dense, and louder and louder after another.Yuan Ziyou was restless and could not help being malicious, wishing to end up with this disappointing mount.

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he acted faster than he thought, raised the arrow and stabbed hard at the right side of the horse's neck.

Fortunately, the beast went crazy again at a critical moment and suddenly jumped up and down.Yuan Ziyou's arrow failed to penetrate deeply, but scratched the flesh.However, the horse was still frightened. With a neigh, it raised its front hooves, almost stood upright in the air, then fell heavily, and rushed frantically towards the crowd on one side.

Yuan Ziyou's shock was no small matter, and the blood on his face faded.He hurriedly threw away the blood-stained arrow in his hand, clutched the rein desperately to prevent himself from falling off the horse, but his right hand was still holding the bow tightly, as if he had forgotten how to let go.

The horse became more and more frantic, jumping higher and higher, and finally twisted and circled almost crazily.

Yuan Ziyou never knew how to tame a horse.This horse was originally Yuan Tianmu's mount, but now that it was injured by him, it didn't listen to him at all.He opened his mouth to ask for help, but his voice was divided into several sections by waves of vibrations: "Come on! Who, who is going to kill this beast! Quick, kill it!"

The onlookers were in a mess early on, and dispersed to avoid it.No one took care of the troubled emperor, and all the faces were worried, but they were more like watching a theater.

The hand holding the rein was numb due to too much force, and would loosen at any moment, and the arm was pulled so painfully.Yuan Ziyou thought that even if he didn't fall down and be trampled to death by the horse, he would be crushed alive.

"Am I going to die here?"

The horse's back suddenly tilted over.The beast seemed to have thought about it, and tried to get rid of the person on it in another way.Yuan Ziyou screamed, his knees were too late to tighten, and his body slipped and he was about to fall off the horse.

At this moment, there was a rush of horseshoes from far and near, followed by a heat on the back, and the body sank slightly.Turning his head to look, it was Er Zhurong who jumped directly onto the back of his horse.
