Gunpowder bag.
Success fell into the hands of Qiu Fu.
But he doesn’t dare to go up now!
He was afraid that the Yongle Dynasty would be wiped out immediately!
"Brother, I gave you something, I need to take it out first!"
Li Hongbi gave Qiu Fu the gunpowder packet and hurriedly ran away.
Qiu Fu looked at the big killer weapon in his hand and showed a smile that was uglier than crying.
Li Hongbi, you uncle!
You bastard bunny specializes in tricking people, right?
Qiu Fu was about to cry but Zhu Neng happened to walk down quickly.
"what's the situation?"
"Hurry up and conduct the martial arts competition. Your Majesty can't wait!"
Zhu Neng shouted angrily.
He is the number two person in the military, while Qiu Fu is the number one person.
Qiu Fu had to intervene in all matters today in order to deter those civil servants and gentry.
When Qiu Fu saw Zhu Neng, he immediately gave him the gunpowder bag.
"That Zhu Neng, hold on tight, there's gunpowder in it!"
As soon as he said this, Zhu Neng was so frightened that he threw away the gunpowder bag.
But Qiu Fu didn't give him this chance. He had already fled back to the general stage and started the next project.
After the soldiers performed martial arts, the next step was the riding and archery competition between the distinguished disciples.
Not all the noble sons of the Ming Dynasty were playboys like Zhu Yong and Li Hongbi.
Moreover, the imperial court did not want to see all the general disciples reduced to uneducated dandies and idle waste.
Therefore, rules have been set since the time of Emperor Taizu Gao. If the descendants of distinguished nobles want to be assigned official positions, they must participate in military review and martial arts. Only after passing can they be assigned and have a good future.
The reason is that the salary in the Ming Dynasty was not high, or rather pitifully low.
Except for the top nobles such as the Duke of the State, the family wealth of ordinary noble military ministers is basically not as good as that of civil servants and gentry of the same level.
Even though they have hereditary and non-replaceable titles, their salaries are not high. They can basically only support their families. If they want to live a good life and maintain their dignity as nobles, they have to work as errands.
For example, Xin'an Bo Zhang Fu, his earl salary was only a thousand dan, and his land was even more pitiful, less than one-twentieth of Qi Guogong Qiu Fu!
In addition, Zhang Fu, the Earl of Xin'an, is only a temporary title, only for one life, not hereditary!
Another source of Zhang Fu's income is his official position in the army, where he is the commander of the Chinese Army's Governor's Office.
The two salaries added together can barely make ends meet.
Finally, there are the rewards from His Majesty the Emperor from time to time, which actually account for the bulk of Zhang Fu's total income.
This leads to nobles such as Zhang Fu having to do their best to advance to positions and gain military glory!
If they are like this, you can imagine their descendants.
Still want to be an idle playboy?
Sorry, family conditions do not allow it!
It’s better to practice riding and shooting honestly, and then pass the school review and practice martial arts to find an official position!
And those noble children with hereditary titles, especially those who are concubines and young sons, also face the same dilemma.
The title belongs to the eldest son and has nothing to do with them.
Therefore, their only chance is to perform martial arts during this school review, hoping to make a splash and win the favor of His Majesty the Emperor, so that they can rise to the top and carve out a bright future for themselves!
Therefore, many distinguished disciples came prepared this time, sharpening their swords and ready to make a move.
However, there were four different creatures mixed in among them.
Li Hongbi has a Duke of Cao waiting for him to inherit.
Zhu Yong has a dukedom of Chengguo waiting for him to inherit.
A Qiu Song has a dukedom of Qi waiting for him to inherit.
Gu Xingzu also had a Marquis of Zhenyuan waiting for him to inherit.
When he thought of this, Li Hongbi felt a little ashamed for no reason.
"My dear disciples, do you want to play?"
The three little ones shook their heads like rattles.
They only go up there when they are full and feel embarrassed.
"In that case, let the four of us, master and apprentice, watch the show quietly!"
Zhu Yong liked to be clever and subconsciously asked: "Teacher, aren't you going to play too?"
Qiu Song and Gu Xingzu both looked at Li Hongbi expectantly.
How much they thought that their mentor would overestimate his own abilities and then go up and embarrass himself!
"Good boy, I now have an official position as a teacher, a huge fortune, and the title of Duke of Cao Kingdom. What do you think I should do?" Li Hongbi asked with a smile.
"My teacher is already so good, so let's leave a way for others to survive!"
Three little ones: "!!!"
Hi!
So angry!
This thief mentor!
The riding and archery contest begins.
A famous disciple began to show off his skills.
After all, His Majesty the Emperor is on the general stage. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
From time to time, there were bursts of cheers and applause. It was obvious that there were still many talented people in this group of distinguished disciples.
However, when a person appeared on the school field, everyone was stunned.
Even Emperor Yongle was dumbfounded and frowned slightly.
"Qiu Lunzi, what are you doing here, Zhang Fu?"
Yes, that person is none other than Xin Anbo and Zhang Fu!
Originally, this was a competition for noble sons, but Zhang Fu, as Xin Anbo, had a very different status and status, so there was no need to play.
But he just went up, which was a dimensionality-reducing blow to all the noble disciples!
Qiu Fu smiled bitterly and explained: "Your Majesty, this child is a good boy, but he is holding a breath in his heart. He wants to use his military exploits to prove to the world that a tiger father has no dog son!"
Qiu Fu and Zhang Yu have a deep relationship and can be regarded as comrades in life and death.
Now that Zhang Yu died in battle, he, as the number one person in the military, naturally thought of ways to protect and support Zhang Fu.
But because of Zhang Fu's status as a relative, His Majesty has been deliberately suppressing her. Anyone else would feel uncomfortable.
In this military exercise between the three armies, Zhang Fu made a brilliant appearance, which was arranged by Qiu Fu.
Qiu Fu can be said to have watched Zhang Fu grow up, and he also knows Zhang Fu's talents and abilities best. He can be called a natural general!
Compared with other noble disciples, Zhang Fu is undoubtedly the best among them all, and the one most promising to inherit the mantle of himself and other old brothers!
That's why Qiu Fu tried his best to support and train Zhang Fu, hoping that His Majesty the Emperor could really put him to good use!
"Of course I know he is a good boy!" Zhu Di sighed, "But he is still too impetuous and eager to achieve merit, which is not good!"
Bullshit impetuous!
Isn’t it because of his status as a relative?
Qiu Fu secretly cursed in his heart.
"Your Majesty, this child is a loyal minister. Now he is getting older, but he has not made any great achievements, so he is eager to make contributions. This is understandable."
Zhu Di glanced at Qiu Fu and couldn't see his little thoughts.
"Don't worry, Shimei (Zhang Yuzi) died on the battlefield to save me. No matter how stupid I am, I will never mistreat Shimei's child!"
"I don't reuse Zhang Fu now because he is still young and needs experience before he can grow up and succeed you as my great pillar in the future!"
How long will it take to practice? !
Qiu Fu was reluctant to continue speaking.
But at this moment, a burst of cheers and cheers suddenly sounded from the school ground.
The monarchs and ministers on the stage looked at each other in astonishment. They saw Zhang Fu riding a horse with a bow and galloping in the middle of the school field. Then he shot an arrow and hit the triple leather armor two hundred steps away!
The arrow penetrated the three layers of leather armor and still continued to strike. After passing through the armor, it landed dozens of steps away!
Zhang Fu’s riding and shooting skills are simply terrifying!
All the distinguished disciples were dumbfounded, and then they didn't want to compete anymore.
How can this compare?
Damn it is simply not on the same level!
The monarchs and ministers on the general stage were shocked. After a long time, Zhu Di touched his palms and praised: "This son is worthy of being born as a general, and he will be the pillar of my great Ming Dynasty in the future!"
