Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Yuan Fen shook his head, picked up the wine and drank it in one gulp. After several rounds, Yuan Fen almost fainted. After drinking the eighth cup, he kept coughing and his face turned red. De Fang hurried over to pat him " Yuan Fen, how are you? Do you want to call the imperial physician to come and have a look?"

Yuan Fen waved his hand, "It's okay...Brother Wang...don't worry"

Yuan Kan said, "Brother Wang, don't worry about him, he hasn't improved his archery at all. Look, whoever misses all eight arrows?"

Yuan Xi touched Yuan Kan, "Don't talk about Yuan Fen, you can't do it either. Look, let you shoot fish and you shoot rabbits. If Yuan Fen missed the target, you should drink this wine."

Suddenly a voice said, "Who should drink the next drink?"

The four people saw that they didn't know when Taizong came, so the four hurriedly saluted. Taizong smiled and said, "Excuse me." Then he looked at the target and asked, "It seems that the level of the arrow is obvious."

"Father, we are still one shot away," Yuan Xi said

"There's no need to compare," Taizong said, "Look at the archery target, you don't need to mention Yuan's share, Yuan Kan's is not in the position, and yours has a few arrows, but they didn't hit the vital parts of the animals."

Taizong picked up a bow and said "Defang"

Defang hurried forward and said "Chen Zai"

"Oh, what kind of ministers are not ministers?" Taizong looked at Defang, "Don't forget, you are also a prince."

When Defang heard this, she couldn't help being a little confused. Although she was still called the prince since the death of Taizu, but after all, she was different from Yuan Xi and the others. , uncle"

Taizong nodded, "Come on, I'll compare with you." The servant hurriedly put on a new target

"Nephew doesn't dare" Defang said

Taizong didn't speak, he drew his bow and shot an arrow at the tiger's head on the target and said, "It's your turn"

Seeing this, Defang knew that she couldn't hide, so she had to draw the bow, and she couldn't understand why the emperor wanted to compete. Defang let go of the string with her right hand and hit the tiger's head. Taizong didn't speak. Taizong pointed to the archery target and said, "The last arrow is shot at the bear's mouth." After finishing speaking, he drew the bow and shot an arrow. The arrow hit the bear's nose, but not the bear's mouth. The distance made Taizong frowned, and Defang also drew the bow and arrow. He felt a little uneasy, paused for a while, looked directly at the target, and shot an arrow, and the arrow hit the bear's ear. Defang put down the bow and arrow and said, " My nephew accepts the punishment" and picked up a glass of wine and drank it. At this time, Taizong also picked up a glass of wine, drank it and said, "My nephew's arrow skills are really good, comparable to mine."

"My nephew's archery skills are all under the guidance of the emperor's uncle. My nephew remembers that when he lived in the palace in the early years, the emperor's uncle often went to the palace to guide his nephew in martial arts and archery. My nephew can have today's skills, and I have to thank the emperor's uncle for giving me a gift," said Defang. He knew that Taizong was very concerned about these things. Once someone surpassed him, even by a little bit, he would be killed.

Hearing this, Emperor Taizong relaxed his frowning brows, and said with a smile, "The emperor's nephew is modest. This is also because the emperor's nephew has a high understanding. Hahaha, okay, let's all sit down."

The four of them sat down, Taizong chatted with the four of them for a long time, had dinner together, and said when he left, "Yuan Kan, Yuan Fen, you two should learn more from De Fang and Yuan Xi, and share my worries."

"The children and ministers should remember the teachings of the father and the emperor" Yuan Kan paid homage to Yuan Fen
