Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 900 Wild Boar and Wolves

Pu Hui stopped talking, he walked forward silently, and hugged Fifth Brother's shoulder.Outside the window, the northwest wind suddenly strengthened, carrying a biting chill, piercing through the window lattice and blowing out the candles.In the dark, Pu Junyu said something with a pun; "It's so cold, maybe the weather will change!"

What Pu Jun said was not wrong at all, the sky really changed.At dawn, it began to drizzle, which soon turned into light snow with fine hail.Like small grains of sand, it hurt people's faces.God, it's surprisingly cold.Pu Jun estimated that the emperor would not come in such a cold day, and was about to go to pay his respects, but a little eunuch ran over and said that the emperor was scheduled to come to watch wolf beating after breakfast today.Pu Jun didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly summoned the people to make preparations.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Guan Xuqing brought the officials here with a flushed face and a healthy spirit.There was a whole night of commotion last night. Except for the prince and a few cabinet ministers, the general princes and ministers of foreign vassals didn't know what happened. Seeing that the emperor was in such a good mood, they gave out a voice of praise.

Pu De took his two sons, walked over and knelt down to welcome Sheng Jia.Guan Xuqing looked at the two three- and four-year-old children happily, and asked with a smile: "Second, is this my grandson? What's his name?"

Just as Pu De said, "Go back to my father, the eldest is called Yujue." Unexpectedly, the second eldest Yumin said loudly, "I dare not trouble my father to play for me. My grandson's name is Yumin."

Guan Xuqing was surprised and delighted, um, at such a young age, he knows the rules so well and speaks so eloquently, it's really good: "Okay, okay, get up, son. Come on, let grandpa have a look, oh, I want to be in a small family, and say that my father-in-law didn't see you." After a daughter-in-law, grandpa doesn’t know his grandson, isn’t that a big joke? However, our royal family is like this. I am busy with state affairs all day long, and I have lost the happiness of my family.”

Yumin leaned against Guan Xuqing, and replied casually, "You take care of state affairs and relieve the common people's worries. This is also a family relationship. The emperor should do the emperor's business, and can't just care about his family."

Guan Xuqing was even more surprised when he heard it. The troubles of the night were completely dispelled by this clear child's voice, and he couldn't help laughing, "Ha, grandson, such a big little man can actually speak great truths. It's easy. But, Yumin, although I spread the emperor's grace and rain to all directions and became a good emperor, I didn't take care of my own flesh and blood, so I'm not a good grandfather."

Pu De heard the voice of his father's words from the side, and he has not forgotten about his sons in his joy.He was afraid that Yumin would say something inappropriate because he was young and ignorant, and he was about to go forward to answer the question, but he heard Yumin say again: "The emperor's holiness spreads all over the world, and his grandson will naturally enjoy it."

The words were more appropriate, and Guan Xuqing was even more happy. Looking at Yu Min, he couldn't help sighing: "My grandson is already this old, how can I not grow old?"

Yu Min interjected, "You are only in your forties, which is the time when you are at the peak of your spring and autumn and making great achievements."

Everyone who said a word burst into laughter.

Guan Xuqing pointed to the front and said, "Puxian, how far is it from here to the Tucheng where wolves were beaten?"

"It's less than five miles back to the father. However, the road is bumpy and the car is difficult to travel. My son's mount is a royal horse bestowed by the father. It walks very smoothly. Please rest assured."

Guan Xuqing was in high spirits: "Hey, how can you just take a look at the snow scene, and take a walk, and you can also do some activities."

Guan Xuqing held Yumin's little hand while talking, and walked straight forward. Along the way, the grandparent and grandson talked and laughed, talking very warmly.Guan Xuqing wanted to test this clever grandson; Yumin, however, had no taboos and answered whatever was asked.The emperor walks, who dares to ride in a car or a sedan chair? From the princes and grandchildren, down to civil and military officials, they hurriedly followed up, surrounded the emperor, and arrived at the wolf-hunting Tucheng.

This earthen city was not big, it was built on the hillside, more than two feet high, and the diameter of the inner circle was only half a mile, but four to five hundred wild wolves were enclosed.Wild wolves live in packs, and each pack is its own group.Looking below, there are about seven or eight groups scattered in the upper enclosure, each occupying one side.The female wolf is in the middle, protecting the cubs, while the male wolf is in the outer circle, staring at the other wolves with gleaming green eyes and sticking out a blood-red tongue.These wild wolves have been hungry since they were penned in, and I don't know how many days they have been hungry.Probably there have been several fights between them.In the soil enclosure and in the grass, bloodstains can be seen everywhere.

Guan Xuqing took Yumin and Yujue, climbed up the Tucheng, stood beside the wall pile that was repaired overnight, smiled slightly at Puxian and said, "Fourth, it's up to you."

The fourth prince Puxian agreed loudly and waved his hand downwards. Several servants carried a wild boar weighing more than 300 kilograms to the top of the wall, cut the binding rope, and pushed it down.Wild boars are originally fierce beasts in the mountains and forests, with a thick layer of turpentine sand sticking to their bodies, as hard as iron armor.The fangs in the mouth are long and thick, like a sharp knife.Ordinary tigers and leopards would shy away from it when they saw it. How could it pay attention to mere wild wolves.Besides, it had been hungry for several days, and when it saw its prey, it was refreshed, and it rushed towards the wolves madly, tearing and biting again.All of a sudden, some of the male wolves had their stomachs picked up by the wild boar's teeth, and some had their throats bitten off by the wild boar's giant teeth, and they became a delicious meal for the wild boar to satisfy their hunger.However, there are four or five hundred wolves in this pack, how can a wild boar deal with it?Moreover, these wolves were so hungry that their eyes were red, and they had no taboos. They also regarded this wild boar as a life-saving delicacy.So, in groups, they counterattacked.There is a life-and-death bloody struggle between pigs and wolves, and between wolves.

Seeing that the wild boars and the wolves were exhausted from fighting, Pu Xian shouted, "Shoot the arrows and shoot all the living ones to death. Be careful, only the heads are allowed, and the whole wolf skin is left. We will also reward you." people!"

With an order, the generals and soldiers in the fourth prince's residence immediately dispersed, bowed to the full moon, and arrows shot down like shooting stars.The soldiers and guards of the other princes also came to join in the fun and shot arrows together.Wolves are famous for their hard heads, and the fourth prince is only allowed to shoot in the head, but it's really not easy.After two full hours, the wild boars and wolves below all fell into a pool of blood and did not move.

Guan Xuqing raised his foot and was about to go down to the city to take a closer look, but Pu Xian hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Father, wait a moment. I'll let the children clean up. If anyone dies, I'll be shocked."

Guan Xuqing laughed disapprovingly: "Haha, I have gone through so many soul-stirring events in my life, are you still afraid of these dead wolves?" As he spoke, he walked away, and the guards and princes did not dare to be negligent, and hurriedly followed , Protecting the emperor's front, back, left, and right sides.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Old Nine Pu Wei took a few steps and said to Pu Xian: "Fourth brother, your method of beating wolves is indeed ingenious. However, according to my younger brother, isn't it too much to let them kill each other like this?" A little crueler?"

Pu Xian sneered and said: "Oh, ninth brother, do you think so? In fact, I just want to let my father watch the fun, relax and relieve boredom. When it comes to hunting, what kind of prey does my father never see?" ? If you want to reward people, how can you miss these wolf skins? As for cruelty, wolves are not good animals, so what is there to be pitiful about?"

The two were talking quietly, but Guan Xuqing, who was walking in front, heard him. His heart skipped a beat, and he wondered if the fourth child deliberately arranged this wolf fight today?The wolves not only unite to deal with wild boars, but also turn their heads to kill each other, which makes people have many associations.Behind me, will their brothers kill each other like this?Will they join hands and deal with them as their own brothers? Thinking back, there was a famous Kowloon seizing the heir in the Kangxi Dynasty, would this kind of thing happen to him?No matter what, it seems that the fourth child has deep intentions.Hmph, but no matter how hard you try, you can't escape your father's eyes. Can Sun Monkey escape the Tathagata's palm no matter how powerful you are?Let me keep my composure for now, and let's see how you perform in front of me in the future.

Guan Xuqing walked forward while meditating.The corpses and pieces of dead wolves were strewn all over the grass, stained with blood.They came to the wild boar which had been killed by the wolf.Guan Xuqing accidentally stepped on the wild boar.Unexpectedly, the wild boar was still breathing, and stood upright with an "ow", staring at Guan Xuqing with big blood red eyes.Everyone was taken aback, Battelle drew out his waist knife and rushed forward, but heard a deep yell: "Come back, it's important to protect the two children!" Following the yell, Guan Xuqing had already pulled out his sword and stabbed at the beast. In the past, in fact, the wild boar was covered with wounds, and the blood had already flowed out. It was just a dying struggle just now.As soon as Guan Xuqing's sword penetrated into the flesh, it fell to the ground and died.However, at an extremely critical moment, the emperor was not afraid of danger, and he was able to personally kill the wild boar, and asked Battelle and others to protect the child first. With this action, all the princes present were stunned, and they all opened their mouths for a long time. Speechless, to be honest, most of the princes were so frightened at the moment of lightning and flint just now, they didn't even think of going to escort them. Even if someone wanted to go there, they couldn't control their hands and feet. Showing their supernatural power, their admiration for their father increased a lot.

The wolf fight arranged by the fourth prince Puxian was too shocking, too bizarre, and too incredible.From the emperor to the prince and ministers, they all have different feelings and conjectures, but they can't say anything.Seeing that it was getting late, Guan Xuqing told everyone to go back to their camps. He also rode his horse and led Luo Ming and others to Yanbo Zhishuangzhai.

Suddenly, not far ahead, a cavalry group of about 300 people galloped over.Behind, there are several teams of cavalry, arranged in a neat square formation, also galloping over.Guan Xuqing immediately reined in the horse's head: "Well, where did this cavalry come from? Send someone to ask." Luo Ming agreed, patted the horse and ran away, and after a while, he came back with a person: "Long live, it's Rehe The garrison commander Peng Zhi led an army to protect the emperor.
