The snow was light and cold, and the quietness in the whole palace was disturbing. The maid, Gong'e, hurried back and forth with her head down, as if she was afraid of causing trouble to her upper body, she kept silent and said little.
The story of the prince and Luan Fei spread like wildfire, and spread all over the sky overnight, and everyone in the government and the people knew about it.
The Emperor of Heaven was very frightened and angry. The next day, the imperial court issued a decree that the prince moved to the Songyu Terrace to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors.
Zuo Xiangfengyan was sent out as an envoy, and the eldest son Fengjingshu pleaded guilty on behalf of his father. The Emperor of Heaven removed Fengyan from the title of Taibao and fined him one year's salary. Li Chengyu, the former commander of the inner court army, was demoted to Cangzhou, and King Ling temporarily led the inner court army.
Qing Chen was sitting on the jade steps of Yaochun Pavilion. He came to look for her on the eleventh day. He still had his court clothes on, but he left at this time early.
"Although something happened to Feng's family, don't worry, father will not be too angry." Seeing her alone in a daze, Eleven sat down beside her and said softly.
But seeing Qing Chen raised his eyes and smiled brightly: "The Feng family has a deep foundation in the court, and it won't be shaken without a Luan Fei. I'm not in a hurry."
On Shishi, she looked as usual and didn't seem to be half-distracted, and said strangely: "Whether you are a relative or not, there are always three degrees of relatives. Besides, it seems that you are eight percent of Feng Xiang's daughter, but you don't worry about it at all." Brothers and sisters, did you really make a mistake?"
Qing Chen would never tell him that his "daughter" was a coincidence, he just said: "Sometimes, whether you are kissed or not has nothing to do with blood relationship. Why is it that people like me are sometimes very cold-blooded? What do other people's life, death, honor and disgrace have to do with me?"
Shi Shi turned around and laughed, and said, "If you don't ask the Queen Mother, Luan Fei can stay in Yanxi Palace with such a good life? I am afraid that he is already in prison by this time."
Qing Chen was right, so he pursed his lips and glanced at him: "Who said I begged the Queen Mother?"
Eleven said: "Who else would it be if it wasn't you?" He casually picked up a piece of gravel, weighed it and threw it away: "It's a pity that His Royal Highness is flying with Luan. If you can bear this moment, why is it like this?"
Qing Chen looked at the forbidden palace full of palaces. Love is so charming that people can't hide or break free. Once they fall into it, water can turn into fire, and fire can turn into ice. Everyone feels sad about love.
Thinking of the gentleness and generosity of the prince, I can't help feeling deeply sorry. Why do people like this meet Luan Fei instead of others. She put her face on her lap, turned her head and said to Eleven: "Forbearance can win the world for a while, but not everyone can bear it. Only when you lose something when you endure, God will let you gain something else."
Eleven reached out and rubbed her hair: "Why do you suddenly become sentimental?"
Qing Chen smiled, before he wanted to say something, he saw Eleven's guards looking for him from a distance, and said, "I'm looking for you, I'm afraid there is something wrong."
Seeing that the guard was running in a hurry, Eleven asked, "What's the matter?"
The guard leaned over and saluted: "Your Majesty the Fourth Highness started to rectify the inner court army, the inner court school ground is lively, why don't you go and have a look?"
Eleven knew that these guards outside the palace were not used to the high-spirited appearance of the inner court army. They didn't know how many lawsuits they had in private, so they laughed and scolded: "Gloating!"
The guard smiled and said: "Didn't you usually say that they are not doing their jobs properly? Now that the Fourth Highness has gone to the inner court school, they have to bear it. Just now I heard that they want to give the Fourth Highness a blow, and the school's 100% assembly is only insufficient Thirty percent, all nestled in the camp to take a lunch break, but the guards of the Fourth Highness poured cold water on the inner court camp and blasted them all out. Now the Fourth Highness is in the school grounds fighting with the deputy commander Fang Zhuo."
Apart from patrolling the Forbidden Palace and guarding the royal relatives, the inner court army has no other duties on weekdays. However, because he is a personal guard of the imperial forest, he not only has a generous salary, but also has a higher position and official position than other soldiers, so most of the famous official families stuff their nephews and nephews into the inner court army.
For a long time, there were many nobles and nobles in the inner court army, and they often wandered around in Tiandu to fight cockfights and run dogs, fighting and causing trouble. This time the Emperor of Heaven handed over the inner court army to Ye Tianling because he knew that he was stern and selfless in governing the army, so he took the opportunity to repair these dudes.
Eleven stood up and said with a smile: "Let's go, have a look." Then he asked Qing Chen, "Will you go?"
Qing Chen had nothing to do, so he said, "Then let's go and have a look."
The school grounds of the inner court are in the outer city of the Forbidden Palace, just across the Fengtian Gate. When Shi Shi and Qing Chen arrived there, apart from those who were on duty, thousands of inner court troops had already assembled, almost enclosing the school grounds. There are still many ladies and palace people standing around far and near, gathering to watch.
Qing Chen and Eleven looked at the field, and there were ten red targets far away at the end of the huge school field. On the open space nearly two hundred steps away from the red targets, the two rode in pairs, holding strong bows, and the arrows were shooting sharply. A fight between dragons and tigers.
When Qing Chen saw Feng Chi, he knew that the one in the black Dagon Dragon court uniform was Ye Tianling. And the other burly man, after asking Eleven Fang, found out that it was Fang Zhuo, the eldest grandson of the old general of Dingguo, who is now in the position of deputy commander of the inner court army. Although this person was born in a wealthy family, he was usually seen as arrogant and domineering, but he was a general with real martial arts skills, and he was one of the best fighters in the inner court army.
Ye Tianling and Fang Zhuo criss-crossed and galloped across the arena, flying dust all over the sky and stirring with the wind. Fang Zhuo shoots arrows at the red bull's-eye in the distance frequently, Ye Tianling always shoots a sharp arrow, but the target is Fang Zhuo's arrow. Every time the two of them shot an arrow, the surroundings sighed in surprise and rage, there was a commotion, dozens of long arrows fell on the ground amidst the dust.
Eleven pairs of guards beside him asked, "How do they compare?"
The guard bowed and said, "The Fourth Highness asked Commander Fang to shoot the bull's-eye in the school grounds. As long as one arrow hits one out of a hundred arrows, he immediately asked the emperor to take back the order to take charge of the inner court army."
Qing Chen looked intently at the school field, and saw that Ye Tianling was trying to frustrate Fang Zhuo, not only making him unable to hit the bull's-eye, but also breaking Fang Zhuo's long arrow in half with every arrow. If you can come first, you will never fail.
Only at this moment, the two of them shot more than ten arrows, Fang Zhuo became so angry that he didn't care who was in front of him, he shouted loudly, and the two arrows combined to shoot at Ye Tianling face to face.
Qing Chen's heart tightened, the ladies onlookers were already screaming coquettishly, and the sounds of Yingying and swallows added to the confusion.
However, Ye Tianling's horse's speed did not decrease but increased, and he raised his hand without dodging and the arrow was shot out as fast as lightning. The moment his eyelashes closed, four sharp arrows collided in midair, bursting out several white lights.
The two returned their hands to touch the arrows at the same time, but they both came up empty, it turned out that they were the last two arrows.
Fang Zhuo's eyes were fierce, he turned his horse back, bent down and picked up the two feathered arrows that fell on the ground, but he heard the commotion around him.
Looking up, Ye Tianling actually had several long arrows on the bow in Ye Tianling's hands, aiming at the vital parts of his body.
Although his movements were fast, Ye Tianling was faster than him, not to mention the red horse sitting on his back was not as fast as Feng Chi, so he was naturally at a disadvantage. Angrily said: "Your Highness is nothing more than relying on the speed of the horse."
Ye Tianling sneered coldly: "If you can drive Fengchi, it's okay for me to let you go."
Everyone in the world knows how fierce the wind is, and Fang Zhuo will never lose this person by himself no matter what. In fact, he was already exhausted, but he still stubbornly confronted Ye Tianling.
Ye Tianling had no expression on his face, and asked, "Do you agree or not?"
Fang Zhuo refused to make a sound, his face hardened.
Ye Tianling's black pupils contracted slightly, and he slowly withdrew his arms to draw the bow. With the friction sound of the longbow being stressed, the originally excited field quieted down little by little, replaced by a suffocating murderous aura.
Eleven's sword eyebrows frowned deeply: "Although Fang Zhuo committed the crime below, it would be troublesome to kill him."
The surroundings fell into a deathly silence, and it seemed that even the sound of the wind was frozen in the air. Just when everyone was almost unbearably tortured by the strong murderous aura, Qing Chen saw the corner of Ye Tianling's knife-sharpened mouth twitch slightly, and several feathers froze. The arrow shot out, and a row of scorching cold light whizzed past Fang Zhuo's cheeks and temples, and shot towards the red target with lightning speed, and hit ten bull's-eyes a hundred steps away at the same time amidst the commotion of the crowd.
The ladies in the distance suddenly cheered softly, admiring and admiring, which dilute the mesmerizing atmosphere in the field. Eleven clenched his fists with a "hey" sound: "Every time I can only hit nine targets, but my fourth brother only hits ten out of ten arrows. I really don't know how he practiced!"
Looking at the field again, Fang Zhuo was completely unharmed but was already on the spot, Ye Tianling immediately faced the wind, threw the longbow and held the silver spear behind the horse in his hand, and pointed at the inner court army: "Whoever refuses to accept, let the horse come over, Being in the army is like a man's husband, how are you capable of making troubles?"
When men communicate with men, and soldiers talk to soldiers, fists are often the most direct and effective way.
Someone in the inner court army shouted: "Your Highness is a daughter of gold, if there is a mistake, who will dare to take it?"
Ye Tianling proudly said: "Qin Zhan, you will hurt me before you talk big." The one who spoke was another deputy commander, Qin Zhan, the son of Qin Jingtian, the servant of the Ministry of Industry.
The inner court sergeants were already excited to be bloody. Qin Zhan and Fang Zhuo looked at each other and waved their hands. I don't know who made the first move. A dozen inner court sergeants rushed out with guns and swords in hand. Without thinking, he came to Ye Tianling.
Ye Tianling didn't wait for them to approach, he galloped his horse, and with a backhand shot, Fang Zhuo who was chasing him was knocked back a few steps, and the silver spear in his hand turned around like an angry dragon, and the two inner court troops he encountered had been blown away Everywhere, every little gun flower, someone will fall back in embarrassment.
In the black inner court army, white horses galloped across the sky, and the silver light was invincible to those who blocked them.
Qing Chen followed the upright and resolute figure among thousands of people intently, feeling that the wind and clouds were rampant, domineering, and the whole field was filled with ruthless murderous aura, almost taking his breath away.
But when it was time for a cup of tea, when Ye Tianling's spear arrived, the inner court army fell and fell, and fell to the ground, as if Ye Tianling had drawn a perfect circle with a silver spear. Within the range of his control, no one could Stand up and talk again.
Amidst the groans and cries of pain, the inner court army behind watched this horrific scene, and no one dared to step forward.
Fortunately, Ye Tianling didn't want to hurt anyone, and his subordinates were very measured. Most of them just hit the opponent hard, or broke their weapon, even if they saw blood, it was not serious. The inner court army who fell on the ground staggered and barely got up, everyone was shocked, and the arrogance they had previously been shattered by Ling Chi.
After learning about it, you will know what it means to be in an uninhabited territory among thousands of troops. The reason why Ye Tianling swept the North and South without victory is definitely not just bragging. Compared with the iron-blooded Zhengrong who had returned from many battles, the inner court army with flowery fists and embroidered legs immediately became vulnerable to an embroidered pillow.
Everyone looked at Ye Tianling from a distance, with the same indifferent expression, and still the outstanding and heroic appearance. In such a fierce battle, his black-colored gown and panlong court uniform soothed Wei Ling, and he didn't even stain half of his blood. , star-eyed Bi Ni, disdainful immediately, elegant and reckless.
The surrounding area seemed to be a Shura battlefield, and monsters and ghosts howled and struggled under his cold gaze, but they couldn't move him in the slightest.
Fang Zhuo and Qin Zhan looked up at this ruthless prince who had always been called cold-faced in the army of the Celestial Dynasty, threw away his arms and knelt down: "This subordinate is convinced, and I am willing to be dispatched from the Fourth Highness!" As soon as they knelt, no one in the inner court could support them After a while, thousands of people bowed to salute the army, and said in unison: "I would like to be dispatched from the Fourth Highness!"
Ye Tianling looked coldly at the kneeling inner court army, and immediately returned his gun: "Fang Zhuo and Qin Zhan rectify the army, and those who can still stand gather in front of the school field." After speaking, the reins flicked, and Feng Chi turned around Ma Bu went to the high platform first.
The inner court army moved quickly, except for a few wounded sergeants who were sent for medical treatment, most of them gathered together.
Ye Tianling glanced at the frowning military appearance, and said in a solemn voice: "The inner court army will be less embarrassing outside for a day with this king. From now on, anyone who leaves without permission on duty, is late for training, or disobeys the orders of the superiors shall not Anyone who acts at random under military orders and makes troubles in Beijing in his spare time will be punished with military registration. If anyone wants to try the law by himself, just try it if you don’t guard against it.”
His words spread far and wide, and even the sergeants standing at the end could hear them clearly. These bad habits have been in the inner court army for a long time, and everyone can't help but sigh the bad luck. Ye Tianling seemed to turn a deaf ear, and continued: "Today You ignore military discipline and commit crimes, Fang Zhuo and Qin Zhan, and immediately lead the entire inner court army to run fifty laps around the school grounds."
All the sergeants were in an uproar and complained endlessly, Ye Tianling's eyes turned cold: "One hundred laps."
Everyone cried out in shock.
"One hundred and fifty." The tone was decisive, resounding, and there was no room for change.
The arena was quiet for most of the time, but after all there were still people complaining, Fang Zhuo and Qin Zhan were also considered clever, and before Ye Tianling could say the word "two hundred", they hurriedly leaned over to accept the order: "The general obeys the order and is willing to be punished. "
Ye Tianling looked at them: "One hundred and fifty laps, if you can't run down, take off this military uniform and go home as soon as possible. I don't want waste in the army. Long March!"
His guard commander Wei Changzheng immediately stepped forward: "The last general is here!"
Ye Tianling said: "Take someone to watch, if one person misses a lap, add another fifty."
Long Zheng said: "Follow the order!"
Qing Chen couldn't help but slightly raised his lips, and suddenly saw a familiar figure leaving with another person on the opposite side of the school field, who was actually serving Sun Shi'an too often, so the person in front of him was naturally the Emperor of Heaven. I don't know why I only look from a distance, but I can't come over. Who knows what the Emperor of Heaven will think about Ye Tianling's ruthless rectification of the inner court army.
