Blessed by God - Chapter 20
One day when the weather was getting warmer, Emperor Kangxi suddenly felt that he needed to exercise his muscles and bones, so he issued an imperial edict to all the palaces to decide to go hunting.
When Yinyou received the imperial decree, he was a little surprised. He didn’t expect that he would have a share in this hunting. In the past, Kangxi never took him there, no matter whether it was Chengde summer vacation, hunting, or southern tour. Could it be that he finally arrived? Most of the other servants who attended the big occasion were also happy for their master, carefully collected the things they needed to bring, and then followed the large group to the Mulan paddock two days later.
He wasn’t worried about hunting, after all, he wasn’t asked to go hunting in deep mountains and old forests. The so-called hunting is actually a special person driving the animals into a certain circle, so that the masters of each family can hunt to their heart’s content.
Mulan Paddock is guarded by special personnel, and there are many wild animals, but there are no tigers, lions or black bears. After all, the climate in the capital is not suitable for the survival of tigers, lions and other beasts. How can Baiyun Mountain and Xing’an Mountain survive? What’s more, the officials in charge are also afraid that the masters will be injured. Every few days, special personnel will search around, fearing that some tiger or black bear will suddenly appear, startle the horse, hurt people, and the thing around the neck will become unstable.
Hunting is different from hunting, so Yinyou once doubted how bad or good the luck of those protagonists who encountered big bears and tigers in the Mulan paddock was. It is unfortunate to encounter a beast under such a meticulous investigation. When the protagonist encounters a ferocious beast, after several reversals, he only suffers a little flesh injury, and shows great power to destroy the ferocious beast. What amazing luck this must be. Could it be that those black bears and tigers are kittens dressed in beast skins?
When they arrived at the destination, the imperial guards had already set up their tents, and the master only needed to bring a group of servants who led the salute to the tent he had allocated.
When Yinyou saw a certain Mongolian prince, he realized that Kangxi didn’t suddenly feel bored and wanted to hunt. He was probably showing the Mongolian prince the power of the Qing Dynasty and the capabilities of his sons.
If it is placed in modern times, maybe a military exercise will be held.
Although Mongolia now belongs to the Qing Dynasty, after all, there are a small number of people in it who are restless, and Kangxi doesn’t mind letting these people see how powerful the Manchus are.
For things like politics, Yinyou’s awareness is not high, so he just let the servants take care of tidying up the tents, and then check the distance between the tents of the elder brothers, it is really not far, who lit candles in the tents at night , you can definitely see the reflection without hindrance.
Therefore, if anyone wants to discuss conspiracy in the tent and avoid the ears of the guards, he can only write. Write, and there will be reflections again. Write on purpose while speaking other words, and then you have to do it without anyone noticing. If you are not careful, you will be suspected of ulterior motives, and other brothers are worried that they will not find your fault.
Going hunting in broad daylight, it is even more impossible to hide in a tent to discuss things, otherwise it would be even more suspicious.
It can be seen that discussing major issues in a tent is more dangerous than two people pretending to meet by chance and exchanging a small note. Therefore, TV dramas are really unreliable. I often see a certain elder brother hiding in the tent discussing plots and tricks with a certain eunuch, and throwing things around when he gets angry. How desperate and brainless. Dare to do it?
In a word, some TV series are cheating.
After everyone was stationed, they rested for another night. After recovering their spirits, they really prepared to hunt on the second day.
Each brother is followed by two masters who teach riding and shooting. One is to help keep track of the number of prey, and the other is to prevent accidents. Yinyou glanced at the two warriors following behind, and sighed in his heart again, those TV dramas that let elder brother ride around in the woods by himself, how cheating are you!
At the beginning of the hunt, Kangxi came out on top, and all the people around congratulated him on his mighty Long Live God, followed by the prince, and the entourage began to praise the prince for being young and heroic.
After Kangxi and the prince got the prey, other princes and ministers, the princes dared to really let go of the hunt. For a while, the surroundings were filled with the sound of horses, and after a while, a group of guards protecting the prince ran past behind the prince’s horse. .
After a while, a certain minister met him and greeted him politely.
Sure enough, in TV dramas, no distinction is made between rulers and ministers when hunting, and the arrogance is cheating.
Yinyou took a group of well-known guards behind him to the side, searched around, saw a rabbit, drew his bow, and with a whoosh, it hit the rabbit’s leg.
He nodded in satisfaction, clamped the horse’s belly, and continued to look for the prey, with guards behind him responsible for picking up the things he hunted.
After hunting a few rabbits and two foxes, Yinyou didn’t panic. Anyway, he didn’t want to compete with other brothers for any results, as long as the prey was not too small to embarrass himself.
Yinyou was not in a hurry, and the people behind him naturally couldn’t panic, so a group of people rode horses in the woods to find their prey leisurely.
“Brother Seven, did you find something good?” Yinyou had just hunted a silver fox when he heard Brother Ba’s voice. He looked back and saw that there were some things hung on the horses of the guards behind Brother Ba. , if he read correctly, there was even a pheasant.
This vigilant, fast-flying thing was also shot down by him?
Yinyou shook his head with a smile, “It seems that today I am going to be the bottom of the brothers.”
The eighth elder brother glanced at the guards behind Yinyou, not too many, but not too few prey, “Seventh brother, there is no need to underestimate yourself.”
The two said a few words politely, and then they heard the sound of the horn, which was the signal to go back, Yinyou reined in the reins, it seemed that today’s hunting was like this.
The two of them didn’t ride very far, and just happened to meet Yinzhen who came out from the other side. When Yinyou saw the prey behind Yinzhen, there was a deer, and he said with a hint of joy, “fourth brother, the venison meat tonight should be more Little brother.”
After Yinzhen rode a horse and stood side by side with Yinyou, a faint smile appeared on his face, “This is also the first time I have hunted a deer.”
The eighth elder brother was one step behind the two on horseback. Hearing this, he seemed to admire, “fourth brother can hunt such good prey at a young age, and today he will definitely achieve good results among us brothers.”
The fourth elder brother said indifferently, “The eighth brother is absurd, today the other brothers also have a lot of prey, I am just lucky, I just hunted a deer.” This word fell into the ears of other brothers, so as not to cause trouble. Really good means.
The eighth elder brother smiled and said nothing.
Yinyou rubbed his nose and looked at the bow in his hand, um, the workmanship is very good.
“The seventh brother came to hunt for the first time today, and the results are already pretty good.” Seeing Yinyou lowering his head, Yinzhen thought he felt that he had few prey, so he quickly comforted him, “When the fourth brother came here for the first time, he hunted something. Much less than you.”
After finishing speaking, he patted Yinyou’s shoulder comfortingly, he was a very good brother.
“Well,” Yinyou nodded with a smile, “fourth brother, then I will give you an extra rabbit leg tonight, um, then you can give me more venison, okay?”
Rabbit legs are exchanged for venison. How big can the rabbit’s legs be?
After hearing this, Yinzhen smiled helplessly, “That’s all right, fourth brother will leave some more leg meat for you.” Looking at the smile on the other party’s face, Yinzhen sighed again in his heart, he was still a child.
Yinyou sighed in his heart at the same time, it is not easy to make a child happy.
The eighth elder brother who followed the two had dim eyes, but the smile still hung on his face, as if he had never provoked anything before, nor was he blocked by the fourth elder brother.
It’s just that his eyes swept over Yinyou who was smiling happily, and then slowly retracted, holding the rein tightly, and then slowly let go.
Everything, as if nothing happened.
