In autumn hunting, every prince, princess and meritorious child who participated in the autumn hunting left marks on their own arrows in order to prevent something from happening, and it was impossible to confirm the ownership of the prey.
The expressions of the two sons-in-law and King Ji were obviously a bit gloomy. There was no harvest on the first day, and they ran for nothing on the second day. It was almost noon at this time. Came in general.
Going back this time, it is estimated that they will become the laughing stock of everyone, especially the two sons-in-law, who are themselves from meritorious families, and they will not be laughed to death by those guys this time.
But seeing that King Jin and the princesses are still chatting happily, the two sons-in-law can't do anything.
Forget it, it's better to stay away from King Jin in the future, and I also persuade my princesses, Chunshou and Qiushou, not to be with King Jin.
I can't stand it!It's a great shame for a man to go back without a prey.After walking around the hunting ground and returning empty-handed, what is the matter?
If it wasn't for saving face, the two sons-in-law wanted to drag their princess away at this time, but let's give up, look at their daughter-in-laws, it's no wonder they are willing to leave.
There is no way for women to take the honor of hunting very lightly.
Today is destined to be a waste of work, it is already the second day, the team will be closed tomorrow, the hunt is only three days, and after returning, they will be busy attending the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
This year the joke is probably done.
During the camping at night, Cheng Consort pulled Tang Consort, the two of them sighed, it was sad for those who heard it, and tears for those who saw it!
Last year's meritorious children with little harvest were ridiculed by everyone every time they met.
No one dared to laugh at King Jin, and no one dared to laugh at King Ji, but they were different.
The sighs of the two tonight, even Li Zhi was deeply touched when he heard it.
My aunt really went to accompany her imperial sister tonight, Li Zhi stayed alone in the empty room, no, it was an empty tent, and it was okay to be depressed.
The dream of wanting to hold a beautiful woman and let her have a good feed is destined to be just a dream.
But alone, Li Zhi can think about what to do tomorrow, and he won't really make the two sons-in-law a laughing stock.
These two, one is Tang Shangshu's son, the other is Cheng General's son, these two are the masters of Lingyan Pavilion!
Li Zhi stroked the tent with his hand, it seemed that he would have to take risks tomorrow. This was not Li Zhi's original intention, but it was very important for meritorious children whose honor was more important than anything else.
Further south from here, in the deep mountains of the Qinling Mountains, is already extremely dangerous, wild animals are infested, and there are even wolves running rampant.
Li Zhi has seen wolves, and has also competed with wolves. It is a terrifying animal community.
On the second day, Li Zhi changed from being idle in the past, even the clothes he was wearing today were tied up a lot by the King of Jin. When everyone gathered early in the morning, Li Zhi's first sentence was that today can no longer be as loose as the previous two days , and then found nothing, there is no way to go back and confess.
You are the most idle one, you must have let go of those waves of prey on purpose!
Of course, no one dared to speak to the King of Jin like this, at most he would slander a few words in his heart.
The two sons-in-law and King Ji slandered a few words in their hearts. At this time, they were already eager to test themselves. They were not afraid that King Jin would make progress, but they were afraid that King Jin would not make progress.
At this moment, Li Zhi pointed to a lush forest in front of him, where the roar of beasts was particularly intense last night.
"Everyone be careful, this forest is inaccessible all year round."
After Li Zhi said something, he had already walked towards the forest. Murong Xueying and Princess Changle naturally followed Li Zhi closely. Prince consorts are actually quite powerful, even if King Jin was not good at this aspect before, Murong Xueying would have beaten them over long ago.
Several people vaguely formed a triangle formation in the forest, enclosing the youngest Ji Wang Li Shen in the center of the triangle.
"Everyone, speed up!"
The triangular formation advanced rapidly in the forest. Suddenly, King Jin raised his hand, and everyone stopped.
"Little aunt, be careful!"
As soon as Li Zhi finished speaking, Murong Xueying smiled charmingly, and pulled out a short knife from his waist in an instant. The light of the knife quickly cut through the air above his head, and a sharp claw had already passed over Murong Xueying's head like a lightning bolt, and a golden lightning shot up the tree Go up and jump towards another tree.
Leopard, and it is also a leopard that will be listed as a protected animal in future generations, but at this time, let alone this beast, even pandas and tigers are not protected animals.
"This leopard is so fast!"
"That's it. What's the point of hunting deer and rabbits? If you want to hunt, you must hunt this beast."
Li Zhi was already chasing the leopard in the direction where the leopard was fleeing. This kind of lurking beast would not stay if it sensed the danger without a single hit.
The leopard escaped quickly, but today it was unlucky, and met a few men who were eager to prove themselves, especially the two sons-in-law.What's more terrible is that on the way of the leopard's escape, it met the most terrifying creatures in the forest, wolves, a pack of wolves, which can make even tigers run away. This is the strength of the collective.
When a sharp arrow pierced its neck, this golden quiet could only howl, ending its short life.
"Your Highness, it's not good, it's a pack of wolves, what should we do now?"
"Isn't there nothing to gain in the past few days? This group of wolves said less than a dozen things. This is not a small gain!"
The team quickly changed their formation and surrounded several princesses in the center. Bows and arrows were useless at this time, and close combat with short blades was the right way.
It was only today that Li Zhi deeply realized how terrifying his power was at this time. A wolf was beaten to death by King Jin with his fist.
Although compared to the great national treasure who slapped the wolf's neck off with a slap, it is not enough to see, but for Li Zhi, this is definitely the first time he has done such a feat in his life.
When the Beiya Imperial Army arrived, it was time to clean up the battlefield. King Jin had a few scratches on his arm, but King Jin obviously didn't care about it at all, and just bandaged it briefly.
"Cut off the right ears of these beasts. The corpses are not taken. Let's leave quickly. The smell of blood is too strong."
It's better to leave this kind of primitive mountain forest earlier, who knows what blood will attract.
The right ear of the beast's corpse was cut off, which is enough to prove the abilities of several people.
The Beiya imperial guards dealt with it very quickly. After finishing the processing, the group of people, under the guard of the imperial guards, hurriedly retreated towards the way they came.
Chapter 390 Supervision
Li Zhi didn't want to prove anything, these prey were enough, all he needed was to take care of the faces of the prince consorts.
Otherwise, if it's just me, I don't have to fight these beasts at all, and it would be nice to go home after playing for a few days.
A group of people retreated out of the forest, because they did not bring the corpse of the beast, but only the right ear of the beast, so naturally they did not carry any weight, and they retreated very quickly.
The horses are left here at the foot of the mountain, and a group of people get on the horses, and they will join the brigade before sunset today.
This autumn hunt is over.
What Li Zhi didn't expect was that after counting the number and types of prey, he and his group of people were not low in the rankings. In fact, no matter whether leopards or wild wolves, their wildness and aggressiveness determine their individual scores. Not low.
Even if it is divided equally by eight people, it is still ranked high.Eight tied for sixth, six not six.
And because the ones they hunted were all ferocious beasts, no matter Cheng Consort or Tang Consort, they all showed their faces among the noble children.
After all, what other people hunted was either rabbits or pheasants, and the bigger ones were deer, wild boars, and beasts. Few people really hit them.
Unsurprisingly, the bear was hunted and killed by King Wu, not one, but two.
Because of these two bears, King Wu and King Shu also shined brilliantly among the princes this year.Naturally, the king of Shu is in the spotlight, and everyone doesn't care much about him.
At this time, the team was resting in the camp, and Empress Zhangsun bandaged Li Zhi's wound in person, and asked her son if it hurt, Li Zhi just shook his head.
Concubine Wei held Li Shen in her arms, crying with joy, her son's first autumn hunting, this achievement is quite good, His Majesty will definitely remember it in his heart.
As night fell, in a large tent, several small leaders of the Beiya Imperial Army were standing here respectfully. If someone looked at these people, they would find that they were the leaders of the Beiya Imperial Army following the princesses and princes.
Tang Huang sat at the head, next to the empress, the fourth concubine and Wei Guifei.
"Starting from the crown prince, tell them in detail what they did along the way!"
Obviously, these guards of the Beiya imperial guards were also specially arranged by the Tang Emperor, not only to protect them all the way, but also to remember the actions of these princes and princesses who were valued by the Tang Emperor along the way. Of course, the most important thing is the prince, and the princess is just joint.
Li Shimin had eleven sons at this time, Zhao Wang Li Fu and Cao Wang Li Ming did not participate in the autumn hunting because of their age, that is to say, what Li Shimin cared about was his other nine sons, especially the three direct princes.
The leader of the Beiya Imperial Army naturally detailed what he saw and heard along the way, starting with Li Chengqian, followed by Li Ke, this is in order of seniority, Li Shimin is not too partial to his son-in-law here.
In the beginning, the actions of the princes were quite satisfactory, and they were no different from previous years. However, because King Wu brought Li Yin this year, he was really affected by Li Yin, otherwise he would be able to shine even more.
The performances of the princes are all good, the Emperor Tang is satisfied, and their mother and concubine here are also satisfied.
But when it came to Li Zhi, the leader of the forbidden army suddenly encountered a difficult situation. He looked at the Emperor Tang and the Empress, and suddenly didn't know how to speak.
"Tell the truth, don't miss anything!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"His Royal Highness King Jin brought a lot of people this time, including His Highness Ji Wang. In fact, they didn't get anything in the first two days. It was only on the third day that His Highness King Jin hunted so many prey this time."
"Oh, the group of them didn't encounter any prey in the past two days?"
"Your Majesty, that's not the case. In fact, I encountered a lot of prey, and on several occasions the prey I encountered were extremely easy to hunt. However, Your Highness is kind-hearted. Pregnant and breastfeeding female beasts are not killed, and growing cubs are not killed. Injured beasts are not killed. Not to kill, not even to kill wild beasts in pairs."
The concubines couldn't help laughing, and Li Shimin laughed all around, not making fun of King Jin, but just thinking that King Jin's particularity is really weird, if it were another prince, it would definitely not be like this.
As long as it is prey, they don't take picks at all.
"What kind of prey did King Jin's team hunt and kill this time?"
"One adult male leopard and seventeen mountain wolves."
"They are all ferocious beasts and ferocious beasts. As expected, there is not a single weaker beast."
"Your Majesty, in fact, several rabbits were shot and killed on the first day, but they were all roasted and eaten by His Highness."
"Oh, and this?"
"His Royal Highness said that rabbits have too few points, so it's better to roast them and eat them."
All the concubines around Li Shimin couldn't bear it, they laughed and laughed, even the forbidden soldiers couldn't bear it.
Your Highness is really wonderful, these years spring hunting and autumn hunting, this is really the first time that your Highness is like this.
Not to mention now, I am afraid that if you look at the records of previous dynasties, there is probably no one like His Royal Highness King Jin before!
The rabbit has too few points, so it's better to roast it and eat it.
Li Shimin also didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and looked at his queen.
"Queen, what do you think of Zhi'er?"
"What to do and what not to do, the other princes are not too particular."
Li Shimin looked at his queen, and then at the surrounding concubines.
"What do you think King Jin has done?"
Concubine Wei has already got up, she is a noble concubine, naturally besides the queen, she is Li Shimin's most honored concubine here.
"Your Majesty, the king of Jin did the right thing. He didn't kill the cubs, he didn't kill the breastfeeding mother beasts, he didn't kill the injured wild animals. I'm afraid that only the king of Jin would do such a thing. The concubine always felt that killing the young Animals and nursing mothers are too cruel."
"Concubine Yang, what do you think?"
"My sister and I have the same opinion. Every time Ke'er and Min'er hunt, I also ask them not to kill these two kinds of beasts."
"Will the beasts hunted by the kings of Wu and Shu include nursing mothers and cubs?"
"Return to His Majesty, no!"
Li Shimin no longer asked other concubines, in terms of status, the empress is the first, followed by Concubine Wei and Concubine Yang.
"Okay, let's go!"
His Majesty let go, and the crowd naturally dispersed, but the leader of the forbidden army who followed King Jin did not leave. Li Shimin held the queen's hand and glanced at him.
"Do you have anything to say?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, stay overnight on the first day, His Royal Highness Princess Changle accompanied by Prince Jin."
"They have been close since childhood, you should withdraw!"
The leader of the forbidden army retreated, and Li Shimin looked at his queen.
"Zhi'er is not young!"
"So what if I'm not young, will the empress mother and sister Huang not be able to accompany me when I grow up?"
Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin, who just laughed.
"I don't mean anything else. Although Zhi'er is not the first in the autumn hunting this time, this child has indeed grown up."
"I wish Zhier would be the eldest son at that time."
"Chengqian and Tai'er are also close, don't let them listen to this."
"It's not as good as Zhi'er! They do things, but Wu Zhi'er abides by the rules."
Li Shimin nodded, looking at his queen, the two of them had nothing to say.
Chapter 391
If you talk about your own son, if you can't talk about it anymore, what's the point?In the world of the Tang Dynasty, only his queen can tell the truth to herself at this time.What other people said, Li Shimin dared to believe that half of it was already good.
"Queen, tonight you remind me of Queen Dugu."
