Chapter 378: Reading Test
This person... is so shameless.
The military officers looked at the guy who was hiding in the doorway and refused to ride into the urn city with a confused look on his face!
But Fang Jifan didn't care about their eyes, and he looked calm and impermanent.
The fat man was annoyed and said angrily: "Boy, be more handsome. If you don't learn well at a young age, come immediately and come to the front of me. I have a bad temper. Be careful not to beat you up so much that your mother doesn't recognize you."
The other one also smiled coldly and said, "Whose boy dares to take advantage of us."
Fang Jifan said leisurely: "My father waited for Fang Jinglong..."
"What……"
The faces of several military officers changed.
Fang Jifan said with a harmless look on his face: "You said you want to beat me?"
Several military officers were silent for a long time, and their faces became paler!
The fat man tried hard to squeeze out his smile and said, "Uh, Xin Jianbo, can we reason?"
"Come on." Fang Jifan said with a smile: "I like to reason the most. Do you want to break your hands or your feet?"
"I..." The fat man was stunned for a long time, and suddenly, a crowd of sighs came from the city wall.
The men took advantage of Fang Jifan's trance and rushed to move forward and escape.
It turned out that on the Wencheng School, the leading military officer walked forward and fell off the horse before he even took a bow.
The second... the arrow shot out, but it was like some kind of indescribable disease that a man could not describe. It only flew out a few feet and then fell to the ground softly.
Emperor Hongzhi sat steadily, looked at the people on the city wall and sighed, then looked at Ma Wensheng and Zhang Mao.
Zhang Mao was already sweating profusely and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty... This... they are still very good at practicing."
It looks very good, the implication is... Isn't it just a fancy?
Emperor Hongzhi did not speak a word and continued to watch.
Zhu Houzhao was already sighing and couldn't help but say, "This group of wine bags."
Zhang Mao was already eager to find a crack in the ground to get out, and Ma Wensheng's face looked even more ugly.
It is said that the military disciplines of the imperial guards and the Beijing camp have been corrupt recently and the military preparations are slackened, but they did not expect that they would be corrupted to this point.
At this time, a son of a marquis came out, looking very well, but in the end... the man was about to leave the saddle with both hands and took out the bow and arrow behind him, but he did not sit firmly. He flew out and landed on the ground, making a howl like a pig.
In fact, riding and shooting is the most important thing to take in the teaching skills. Without long-term practice, and not familiar with the nature of a horse, you must be able to leave your hands and balance with your body. The war horses still need to sprint quickly. Under this bumpy situation, you must take the arrow, bend the bow, and even approach the target in an instant and shoot one arrow. It is simply a dream.
Suddenly, the generals who were watching the test were tilted, and everyone's faces were full of fearful expressions.
So much so that afterwards, no one dared to try it.
After the Tumu Fort Incident, the nobles no longer took pride in their fathers' struggles and struggles. The superior environment has long developed their idle nature.
People no longer care about military preparations, especially after advocating civil and suppressing military affairs, even military officers themselves felt that they could not match those ministers who came from scholars. A commander of the third rank, and when they met the Hanlin editor of the seventh rank, they were all very proud, and the tragedy of this review can be imagined.
Emperor Hongzhi's face became more and more miserable.
Among the memorials he had read, the warriors who claimed to be loyal and courageous, and the brave and warlike generals. Today, what he saw with his own eyes was a completely opposite performance, and he was already trembling with anger.
In the distance, many national envoys whispered in a low voice, although they did not dare to laugh at them, even they were shocked when they saw this scene. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, who would have thought that these seemingly mighty military generals would have declined to such an extent.
Is this the Ming army that swept the world with Emperor Taizu Gao’s northern expedition, or the Ming army that swept across the desert with Emperor Wen’s order?
The officials of the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Army who were in charge of this matter were all so scared that they dared not let out!
The Ministry of War is responsible for checking the training situation of the Beijing camp, but obviously, the civil officials sent out prefer to look at the flower-like airs. They just need to see the people in the camp, wearing flags and armor, and erotic armor, posing various so-called Bagua formations, Dragon Gate formations, and one-character long snake formations, and they are satisfied and think that this is the elite soldiers in ancient books.
The Governor's Office of the Five Armies has actually been destroyed in name only. Although it is responsible for managing the armies in the world, it has long been stripped of its military power and has become an empty space.
Emperor Hongzhi stood up and walked forward dozens of steps. After standing behind the female wall, he pursed his lips and still stared at the military officers in the urn, looking at their funny looks.
Behind him, Zhang Mao waved the cold sweat on his forehead and then said, "Your Majesty, I think it's because he rarely practices bows and horses, so the soldiers..."
"Then what are they practicing?" Emperor Hongzhi said calmly, but this calm tone made people feel the potential anger deeply!
Zhang Mao was speechless when asked, in fact... he was a disaster. His daily duty was to go to the Taimiao to worship his ancestors on behalf of His Majesty. Although he occasionally inspected various camps, he was just a flash of the water. It was hard to find any problem!
Even so, he still bowed back in fear and said, "I... I'm dead."
Ma Wensheng looked pale and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this..."
Emperor Hongzhi held the female wall, and his eyes flashed with sharp light, as if sad and angry, and said, "I originally wanted to strengthen my Ming army's power, but now it seems that it is just a joke, ridiculous."
At this moment, he was watching a military officer falling from the horse. The horse was frightened. He was so scared that he quickly turned over and wanted to ride the horse again. However, no matter how he climbed, the horse was stubborn and refused to let him go up, so he was in a stalemate.
Emperor Hongzhi had no expression on his face, but just looked at everything below with a steady look, as if he couldn't believe it, and wanted to confirm again and again that what he saw was real!
He really regretted that he came to watch the ceremony specifically, and regretted that his envoys would come with him.
Hundreds of military generals, each of them is extremely funny... they are like clowns jumping.
"Actually... Your Majesty... This is not the case with the brave generals in the border town, but only the personal army and the Beijing camp..." Zhang Mao wanted to explain that he had patrolled the border several times and was quite satisfied with the military officers in the border town.
Emperor Hongzhi ignored him and waved his hand and said, "Let's go, go back to the palace."
He didn't even have the intention to blame these people.
I felt tired and unconcealed disappointment.
As long as this is the most heartbroken thing, I am afraid that even if I scold you, it will be useless.
Really, embarrassing.
He wanted to go down the city tower, but Zhu Houzhao hurriedly followed him, while other civil and military ministers seemed a little embarrassed.
Liu Jian also had a blue face, glared at Ma Wensheng hatefully, and was about to leave.
But at this moment, someone rode his horse into the urn.
Zhu Houzhao saw this man... Fang Jifan.
"Father, Fang Jifan..."
Emperor Hongzhi paused and glanced at the underworld. He was silent, but stopped and looked down at Fang Jifan who was riding on his horse.
Fang Jifan slowly rode his horse. In fact, with his level, even if he urged the horse to run quickly, it would not be a big deal. But the problem is that Fang Jifan is still very shameful in front of everyone. If he runs fast and cannot hold back for a while, something unexpected happens, which is bad! After all, he has not married yet, and the embarrassing thing has spread. Will the tragedy of not having a girlfriend last for two lifetimes?
So he was not in a hurry and looked slow.
Of course, there are roughly two explanations for this kind of appearance, one is to be afraid of danger.
The other way is that your paddle is too obvious.
When he arrived under the city tower, Fang Jifan stopped, raised his face, and then said, "Your Majesty..."
Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan under the city, but said nothing.
Zhu Houzhao waved to Fang Jifan.
Fang Jifan continued: "I am not in good health today, so it is not convenient to read the exam..."
“…”
Emperor Hongzhi's face was cold and said to Zhu Houzhao beside him: "If he doesn't want to read the test, there is no need to try it. He is a thousand households in the Qianyuan Farms. I want to ride and shoot kung fu but not embarrass him..."
Zhu Houzhao hurriedly said, "I know, I will go and persuade him now."
But Zhu Houzhao hasn't poked out the female wall yet.
Fang Jifan said again: "But Your Majesty, I have some unhelpful disciples. I occasionally ride a horse while studying. My old illness recurs. Can you allow these unhelpful disciples to work for me?"
"..." Zhu Houzhao's eyes suddenly lit up!
Yes, there are those students...
So he hurriedly said, "Father, why not let them..."
Emperor Hongzhi felt very upset.
Originally, a good review was thought to add glory to the court, but who would have thought it would become a huge joke.
He sighed indifferently and said, "Let him go back. I've returned to the palace. The prince is right, it's all a fancy way. Fortunately, the world is generally peaceful, otherwise it will depend on them to protect the country. I... I am too indulging in these people."
Fang Jifan shouted so hard that his throat was smoking. Seeing that no one responded on the city tower, he shouted: "Your Majesty doesn't speak, so your Majesty has already agreed."
Before coming, Fang Jifan knew that it would be embarrassing. This historical review made Emperor Hongzhi look dull.
But after all, Emperor Hongzhi did not come to watch the ceremony in person at that time, and this person did not see it with his own eyes, and only listened to people's retelling. Even if he was angry, the anger was still limited.
Who would have thought that history has changed, and His Majesty came here in person today.
Fang Jifan was speechless. Because of this, he ordered the students to gather outside the city of the urn.
Let the students try it.
No matter how bad it is, it is better than those who hold a bow and cannot fire arrows, and even fall on the ground!
Which one is better at studying and learning?
