At dawn, the snow has stopped and is ankle deep.
Chang Yu rarely stayed in bed. When he got up, he found that there were snowmen in the yard. Lian Xin and Kun Xing were playing with great interest. Zhu Cixiang was practicing martial arts with Wang Zhengnan, and the Chen brothers stood watching.
"He has no talent for practicing martial arts at all, and he built the foundation too late, so it is difficult to achieve anything." Su Jing leaned at the door and watched Zhu Cixiang practice martial arts. She was not interested in building a snowman at all. She couldn't help but say it when she saw Chang Yu coming. One sentence.
"He wants to be an emperor in the future. Why should he be so accomplished?" Chang Yu smiled and said, "Which emperor in ancient times needs strong martial arts?"
"Zhao Kuangyin, the ancestor of the Song Dynasty, was the great master of martial arts. Many martial arts schools in later generations, such as boxing, stick, sword, and spear techniques, all evolved from Taizu's long fist and whistle stick. You still say that there is no emperor with strong martial arts?" Su Jingyi Curling his lips, Chang Yu was startled and then said: "What I said is that being an emperor does not require strong martial arts. He did not say that there is no emperor with strong martial arts. Besides, Zhao Kuangyin came from a family of military generals and spent his life in the military. He was not born to be an emperor. , He wants to fight for his own world, but this person in front of him, martial arts training is dispensable to him..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Cixiang heard it and interrupted him unconvinced: "I know I have no talent at all, but hard work can make up for my shortcomings. I believe I will achieve success in the future." Chang Yu couldn't help but laugh: "Talent is not something that can only be acquired through hard work. It is good that hard work can make up for a flaw, but it is just a matter of making up for a flaw."
"What do you mean?" Zhu Cixiang was very unhappy and felt that his enthusiasm was dampened. Chang Yu walked over and patted his shoulders and said: "Young man, it is your biggest responsibility to be a good emperor in the future. As for civil and military matters, like If you want, just have fun, there is no need to plunge in and play with things to lose your mind. For example, Song Huizong's thin golden body is unparalleled in the world, but what the emperor did... Hey, if you want to practice martial arts, it's enough. As Su Jing said, you won't achieve much. Yes, even if you do, there is no need to become invincible in the world. Can you still make it in the world? Of course, this kind of self-discipline is still good. You may not be able to practice peerless martial arts, but you can strengthen your body and prolong your life."
Zhu Cixiang was confused by what he said, but he didn't know how to refute it for a moment. He just clicked his tongue: "I know that practicing martial arts can strengthen the body, but it can prolong life..."
Chang Yu interrupted him: "If you are healthy and don't get sick, you can live a long time. If you don't exercise every day as an emperor... cough cough cough, you have to exercise more. Look, those who don't exercise and only take elixirs only live a few years." Well, relatively speaking, the emperors of the past dynasties lived relatively longer. The distant Liu Bang and Liu Che lived to be sixty or seventy, Kublai Khan lived to be eighty, the recent emperor Taizu of our dynasty lived to be seventy-one, and Chengzu lived Sixty-five..."
Before he finished speaking, Sujing sneered next to him: "Why don't you talk about Tang Zong and Song Zu? One is fifty-one and the other is fifty. Among them, Song Zu is a peerless great master. Both of them are emperors immediately."
"Are you trying to make trouble today?" Chang Yu said with a slightly embarrassed face: "Did Song Zu die normally? Don't you know the sound of the ax and the shadow of the candle?" Then he said to Zhu Cihong: "Don't listen to his nonsense, just Speaking of our dynasty, after Taizu and Chengzu, with the exception of Emperor Shizong (Jiajing) who lived for sixty and Emperor Shenzong (Wanli) who lived for fifty-eight, there were very few people over forty, mostly in their twenties and thirties. What does it mean?"
Zhu Cixi's facial features twisted into a ball: "What does it mean? You don't exercise?"
Chang Yu agreed: "At least it has a big reason for this. He loses his composure by playing with things and lacks self-discipline."
Zhu Cixiang curled his lips: "Do you know the crime of making false opinions?"
"Don't blame me, this is not called arbitrary discussion, this is called..."
"Yes, yes, I know what you want to say. Don't worry, I won't be able to become a peerless master, but I will maintain this kind of self-discipline and keep exercising every day. Even if I become an emperor in the future, I will maintain it... Hey, you Why don’t you advise my father to exercise as well?”
Chang Yu rolled his eyes: "I've said it myself, but whether the Holy One will listen or not is another matter. I can't force him."
"That's right, you can force me." Zhu Cixiang smiled bitterly and shook his head. Everyone laughed together, and they all felt that this was the best time. Today, the prince was approachable and could make jokes with them. I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to do this when he became the emperor in the future.
After breakfast, Chang Yu went to the yamen for inspection. In fact, there were not many things in the small county that he could handle personally. Every governor, prefect, and magistrate of each prefecture had been repeatedly beaten when he passed by. They found that the officials were lazy and mediocre. The responsibility lies with the people, level by level.
At half noon, Chang Yu and his entourage left the city and headed south. The weather was gloomy and cold, and the wind was howling. Several women from Kunxing were afraid of the cold and hid in the car and could not get out. Zhu Cixiang was so happy that he rode horses and went hunting in the fields with his guards. It snowed heavily yesterday. It didn't rain for long, and the snow on the ground was only up to the ankles. According to Chen Ruxin, in previous years, it would often snow up to the knees.
Chang Yu was also very interested in bowing and riding his horse, and gained a lot. He practiced hard with Kuang Ren for more than half a year, and now his archery skills are considered to be proficient. Although his skills are not as good as Kuang Renchi Qingshi, he can still achieve three arrows in a row. Zhu Cixiang, who was able to fire arrows without missing a beat, was already considered the best among dozens of personal guards. As soon as he made a move, Zhu Cixiang exclaimed: "This is a magical skill."
This made Chang Yu blush a little: "Little Ji'er, it's hard for everyone to hear."
"It's rare for you to be humble." Zhu Cixiang smiled and said, "I have never seen anyone with a better archery skill than Ku Ren, but I think you are not far behind him."
"There are people outside the sky, and there are mountains beyond the mountains." Chang Yu raised his eyes and looked at the mountains everywhere: "One mountain is higher than the other, and Kuang Ren's archery skills are not as high as those halfway up the mountain."
"Oh, I heard what you said. I have seen other masters at that time. With your cherished talent, why didn't you... Could it be a thief?" Zhu Cixiang reacted quickly. Chang Yu nodded: "During the Taiyuan War, I almost lost my life several times. His arrows Down".
Zhu Cixiang was shocked and silent, and Chang Yu shrugged: "Sooner or later, we will still have a battle with him. If we can't put him in the trap, we will kill him quickly." He then asked everyone: "Who has the best archery skills you have seen and heard?"
"The one who saw it with his own eyes was Kuang Ren. The rest was Dayi shooting the sun? Li Guang shooting the tiger into the stone by three points?" Zhu Cihong said.
Chang Yu smiled and said nothing, and Wang Zhengnan added: "Could it be Yang Youji? I heard that he was a general of the Chu State in the Spring and Autumn Period who was famous for his marksmanship."
"Yes, yes, yes, Yang Youji" Zhu Cixiang also remembered. Chang Yu shook his head and asked: "Have you read the history of Song Dynasty?" Zhu Cihong nodded: "You have read some."
"Have you read the 94th "Zhongpu Biography" in the 335th Biographies of the Song Dynasty?"
Zhu Cixiang shook his head: "But I have heard of this person, could it be that he is also good at bow shooting?"
"It's not him, but his subordinate general Wang Shunchen"
How awesome Wang Shunchen is can be seen from the name given to him by netizens in later generations: Gatling in the Song Dynasty! His archery skills have reached the point of miraculous skill, and things like piercing a poplar with a hundred steps are child's play for him. He once influenced a great battle with his own power. It is said that at that time, the Song army encountered thousands of Qiang cavalry soldiers who fled in panic. Seeing that they were about to be defeated, Wang Shunchen, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, shot the enemy between the eyebrows. Seven Qiang cavalrymen from the rear were the first to pursue him. Three of his troops were hit between the eyebrows, and the remaining four fled in panic. The morale of the army was greatly shaken. The Qiang cavalry fought for more than two hours. Wang Shunchen fired more than a thousand arrows and killed countless enemies. They won the battle... In other words, the battle lasted for more than four hours. Wang Shunchen shot a thousand arrows in total. Some people in later generations thought that the historical data was exaggerated, because on average he took one minute. It takes 4.17 arrows to shoot, which is equivalent to shooting one arrow in 14.4 seconds. Considering the time consumed in changing equipment, his frequency is very likely to be higher than one arrow in ten seconds.
But then an athlete who played bow shooting thought it was entirely possible. Personally, he could shoot a hundred groups of six arrows in one afternoon. Although he was tired, he could persevere. Although today's bows are not as hard and labor-saving as those in ancient times, amateur athletes It is incomparable to professional soldiers, and one is playing while the other is working hard to stimulate unlimited potential. Moreover, Wang Shunchen is a partial general and there must be soldiers beside him to change his bow and arrows, and historical data also records that at that time, he "cracked his fingers" , blood flowing to the elbow.”
It can be seen that Wang Shunchen's archery skills are not only accurate but also fast, ruthless and hard! He has practiced archery to the extreme.
After hearing Chang Yu's words, everyone was dumbfounded and admired him for his knowledge. Zhu Cixiang kept asking: "You are a liar, how can you read so many books when you are obviously illiterate? How can you find the time to read books when you fight every day..." "
We were chatting, laughing and chasing each other all the way before we entered the mountain unknowingly. Looking around, everything was covered in silver except for the cliffs. Everything was empty and lonely. It really felt like birds flying across thousands of mountains.
As evening approached, they were about to enter Jiexiu on the mountain pass. Zhu Cixiang asked if he wanted to go into the city to rest before leaving tomorrow. Chang Yu shook his head: "Go into the mountain."
"Aren't you afraid..." Zhu Cixiang was a little worried, Chang Yu smiled: "I said going into the mountains is not a night trip. There are good places in the mountains. I will take you to a farmhouse."
Farmhouse?
There is a mountain in the southeast of Jiexiu called Mianshan, which was originally called Jieshan. The name of the mountain comes from Jie Zitui, a child prodigy of the Jin Dynasty in the Spring and Autumn Period. There is a village at the foot of Shanxi called Jingsheng Village, also called Jingshan Village, Lingrui Township, and yes, it is Jingsheng Town in later generations. .
Yes, this is where the Wang Family Courtyard is located with five lanes and six forts!
