The Ming Dynasty started with caution

The big tent on the border of Ningxia,

Yan Kesong received an edict from the imperial court, ordering him to select five hundred elites to return to the capital and participate in the Hongzhi Hunting.

Mobilizing the border troops requires the decree of Emperor Hongzhi or the transfer order of the Ministry of War. They cannot leave their posts without authorization. The transfer of five hundred elites will reduce the garrison strength.

Yan Kesong had no choice but to withdraw the military camp tent to the city of Ningxia and temporarily fortify the walls to clear the country to prevent Tatars from sneak attacks.

Of course he didn't know that when he went back for the drill this time, he was going to compete with the Beijing army trained by his own son.

Yan Kesong patted Lin Song on the shoulder: "It's up to you to go back this time. Remember, the soldiers are His Majesty's own sons. Give them a lesson. Don't let Your Majesty think that our frontier soldiers only eat white rice." ”

Lin Song is the most powerful soldier in his hand. Although he is not a general, he plays the role of a general.

Lin Song has been following tribal leaders to conquer all directions since he was a child. He is highly skilled in martial arts and is familiar with the Ming Dynasty's art of war. He will definitely be able to defeat the Beijing army when he returns home this time.

Lin Song knelt on the ground: "I will definitely live up to my orders."

Yan Kesong sighed and became sad: "After the hunt, don't forget to meet the young master. It's not easy for him to be alone in the capital."

Looking around blankly, he continued: "I have nothing to bring him, so just write him a letter."

Although Lin Song was a lieutenant in the army, he was more of a retainer in the Yan Mansion.

When he rebelled against Dayan Khan, he did not want to help the Ming Dynasty, but just wanted to follow Yingke Song.

Two hundred and five elites were selected from the army, and the rest were ordinary soldiers. This kind of camp was enough for him.

One month has passed, and in Beijing,

After the invitation from the imperial court was sent out, the envoys from Korea were the first to arrive in the capital and met with Emperor Hongzhi at Fengtian Hall.

Subsequently, many envoys from Tatar, Annan, Siam, Tubo, Hami, Jurchen and others also arrived one after another and were arranged in Honglu Temple to wait for Hongzhi's hunting to begin.

Although this time it is to demonstrate national power to foreign countries and scare foreign countries.

But what Emperor Hongzhi wanted to shock was Tatar and Annan.

Needless to say, the Tatars have been invading the Hetao area all year round and are the biggest enemy of the Ming Dynasty.

Annan often broke out in rebellion and looked down on Ming. This little brother should also be beaten hard.

Emperor Hongzhi asked: "It's only been a few days since the hunt. How is Yan Chengjin preparing?"

Mou Bin looked a little strange: "The Beijing camp is still training."

At this moment,

In the barracks outside the capital, two guys, Yan Chengjin and Zhu Houzhao, had nothing to do and began to recite poems and write poems.

"

The noble ladies are waiting for you,

Shameless is the most elegant.

Look at yourself in the mirror,

Want to be better than the champion. "

"Your Highness, what do you think of this poem?"

Zhu Houzhao had a dark face. Lao Gao was really nothing. He was clearly writing a poem to scold him, but he still wanted him to appreciate it.

"Don't think that I don't know. If you scold me using my name, I will write a poem to scold you!" Zhu Houzhao was not happy.

"Your Highness, please excuse me."

Zhu Houzhao cleared his throat happily, paced around the barracks with his hands behind his back, and began to brew his emotions: "

A son from Yan family enters Qinglu

I am very happy to have such a good match,

Three thousand formations are fought fiercely on the brocade,

When I woke up, there was no one on my pillow. "

Zhu Houzhao asked with a smile: "Lao Gao, what do you think of my poem?"

He learned this kind of poetry immediately, and also imitated Yan Chengjin to compose a limerick.

"Your Highness is going too far! This is clearly a poem to curse an official, and it is so offensive."

"You scolded me first, and then I scolded you. If you didn't scold me, how could I scold you?" Zhu Houzhao said proudly.

A faint voice entered the barracks.

"In my opinion, these two poems are very well written. One is a scolding of the current prince, and the other is a scolding of the current imperial camp supervisor. Good poems, really good poems." Emperor Hongzhi walked in with a half-smile. .

Yan Chengjin opened his mouth, and Zhu Houzhao was so shocked that he couldn't speak...

Fortunately, I only scolded Zhu Houzhao for being shameless. That bitch Zhu Houzhao was even more shameless and actually scolded him for his dream...

Zhu Houzhao looked innocently at the smiling face of Emperor Hongzhi, and suddenly felt that his originally kind father had a scary smile.

Emperor Hongzhi sat down minding his own business, put his hands on his knees, and asked with a smile: "I didn't hear you clearly just now. Between you two, who will read it to me again?"

"My son didn't know that my father was coming, so I wrote this poem, begging my father not to beat me!" Zhu Houzhao knew that Emperor Hongzhi wanted to beat him.

Emperor Hongzhi still had a smile on his lips: "I didn't bring the dragon whip today, so you can rest assured."

Zhu Houzhao is not stupid, and he won't beat him to death even after reading it.

"When my father came, I was so frightened that I forgot everything. I really don't remember anything!"

Emperor Hongzhi's face darkened: "Bring me the dragon-beating stick!"

Dragon beating stick?

Zhu Houzhao's eyes widened: "When did your father make the dragon-beating stick? Why didn't you tell me about it?"

"I want to tell you if I want to make a stick?"

Emperor Hongzhi took a black stick from Mou Bin's hand and hit Zhu Houzhao's butt violently, which made Yan Chengjin's heart beat with fear.

Emperor Hongzhi cursed: "I asked the masters to teach you, but you used your knowledge to write such obscene poems and insult the court ministers. Not only did you disgrace me, but you also disgraced Master Zhan Shifu!" Who allowed you to go to Beijing Camp?"

Zhu Houzhao didn't dare to talk back.

What's more, the stick was like scratching an itch, not as painful as Wang Shouren's beating.

Yan Chengjin was a little panicked. Was it his turn next?

After beating Zhu Houzhao, Emperor Hongzhi turned to Yan Chengjin: "The prince is my son, so I taught him a lesson. How do you think I should punish you?"

This...

Emperor Hongzhi is really a reasonable person.

Yan Chengjin was ecstatic and took out a gold medal of immunity from death: "Why don't you hit it with a stick as a punishment?"

Emperor Hongzhi's old face twitched slightly, and after a moment, he said: "I won't beat you. The envoys will be here soon. Do you know the significance of hunting to my Ming Dynasty? How is the training of the Beijing Army?"

There are still seven days before the hunting.

The high platform and walls of Shijingshan have been built, except for the Beijing camp where Wang Shouren is training.

"Please believe Wang Shouren, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Hongzhi frowned. He didn't believe Wang Shouren, but he believed Yan Chengjin. This guy has always been steady and cautious. He always wants to do everything perfectly. With his words, he felt a little relieved.

Yan Chengjin is not lazy, but doesn't want to cause trouble for Wang Shouren.

One team cannot have two orders.

"Then I will wait for your news."

Zhu Houzhao was taken away by Emperor Hongzhi.

These two days, the capital has been quite lively. There are more soldiers and horses patrolling the capital, and there are also factory guards walking around secretly.

Envoys from various countries will inevitably bring some "idle people" with them when they come to Beijing.

The Ming Dynasty closed its doors to the outside world, did not trade with other countries, and did not open up trade. This hunting trip was a rare trading opportunity.

Many envoys secretly met with ministers or gentry and ordered raw silk, tea and other commodities.

Zhou Yu's mansion was very lively, and envoys from various countries came to place orders for raw silk, colored silk, and porcelain.
