The end of the year has arrived.

It was rare that there was no snow this day.

In the warm pavilion, Emperor Hongzhi sighed and the betting battle... It's today.

He originally wanted to ignore this.

But early in the morning, all the scholars from the cabinet were summoned to the palace. Emperor Hongzhi ordered people to open the window and take a look at the sky outside the warm cabinet.

The sky was gloomy, and now it was early morning. Emperor Hongzhi suddenly sighed and said, "The arrows that Fang Jifan waited for are now today, right?"

The entire capital was full of controversy over this matter and it was very disturbing. Even if Liu Jian and others wanted to ignore it, it would be impossible.

People always have a natural passion for competition.

What's more, it also involved the Ming Dynasty and Tatars. The two countries had deep grudges. Although the military and civilians were not optimistic about this matter, they also talked about it with relish.

The entertainment of this era is too poor, even if it is an indescribable thing, it cannot be used all day long, as it will hurt the kidneys.

In this world, what else is more eye-catching than arrows?

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's today." Liu Jian said: "Because it involves the envoy and Xishan Academy, the presided over this time is the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture. The site where the arrow tests are tested is in the urn of the East City. The military camp there has been abandoned for a long time and has been renovated."

Emperor Hongzhi said, "Hey, this is indulging them in trouble."

Even though he said this, Emperor Hongzhi said, "You all think that if Fang Jifan loses, will he commit suicide?"

This is what Emperor Hongzhi was worried about.

Liu Jian thought for a while and said, "The old minister thought, it shouldn't be possible."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Xie Qian.

Xie Qian decided to say: "No."

Li Dongyang was silent for a moment: "Fang Jifan is a smart person, and I also expected that he would come... not..."

“…”

The officials in the cabinet all said it was certain.

This made Emperor Hongzhi feel a little relieved. So he couldn't let Xiurong be a widow, right?

But... since Fang Jifan would not stolen himself, he insisted on gamble, this... is really hard to describe.

Emperor Hongzhi pretended to be careless: "I ordered Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, to preside over the arrow test and let him do it with caution."

Zhang Sheng's illness has been cured, and now he has entered the ministry hall on duty. Emperor Hongzhi asked the Ministry of Rites to go there. He hoped that in this competition, both sides can abide by the rules and avoid any changes.

Liu Jian nodded: "I obey the order."

…………

After an edict was issued, Zhang Sheng received the order and immediately went to Wengcheng. At this Wengcheng Tower, the officials from Shuntian Mansion had already arrived here to maintain order.

There were many people coming up on the city tower, crowded.

Zhang Sheng was in a bad mood these days. He frowned and couldn't help but scold the prefect of Shuntian: "How could there be so many people? The fewer bystanders in this matter, the better!"

Zhang Sheng had his own ideas. The Ming Dynasty respected literature but not martial arts. This incident has caused a lot of controversy. Now that so many people are watching, it is inevitable that it is not enough to be solemn and supreme, and it is easy to cause trouble, and things may be uncontrollable.

The prefect of Shuntian smiled bitterly and said, "Zhangbutang, the officials are helpless. All the Dukes and Maharajas and the Aristocratic clans in the capital are coming. How can the officials stop them?"

He looked aggrieved: "What's more, even if you want to drive people away now, you're afraid you won't be able to drive them away."

In fact, the prefect has not said anything about this matter. Not only did the Duke and some people who cannot be offended, Shuntian Mansion did not dare to stop him, but also a large number of merchants or wealthy families secretly bribed the people of Shuntian Mansion and put them in.

This Shuntian Prefecture has a deep contact with the three religions and all kinds of people in the capital. Therefore, Shuntian Prefecture will inevitably lead to many related households.

Zhang Sheng did not continue to entangle. He only looked at the prefect of Shuntian and sat down. From the city tower, the wall below was extremely empty and the surrounding walls were already crowded.

In a moment, Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan arrived.

The two climbed to the city tower, and Zhang Sheng and others led people to salute Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhang Sheng with a smile: "There is no need to be too polite to Zhang Qing's family."

Zhang Sheng asked Zhu Houzhao to sit down.

Zhu Houzhao shook her head: "I want to cheer for my disciples, so I won't sit down, Master Zhang will do whatever he wants."

Zhang Sheng always felt that Zhu Houzhao's eyes were strange.

Fang Jifan looked at Zhang Sheng with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, you are polite."

Fang Jifan is very kind today, it is not like Fang Jifan's style.

Well, his son is studying at Xishan Academy now, and I don’t know what’s going on now. Zhang Sheng hopes to inquire, but he can’t bear to inquire. Fortunately, there is a college there. At most, his son will be angry, and his life will be fine. He is in a complicated mood. These days, he is wondering whether his son will be bullied and whether he will...

He was in a mess and simply ignored the prince.

In fact, many times, he wanted to ask Fang Jifan and Zhang Yuanxiu how he is now, but if he wanted to speak, he finally swallowed it in front of everyone.

After a while, the Tatar envoy Abuhua arrived. He was full of red face. After climbing to the city tower, several officials of the Ministry of Rites greeted him. He greeted him one by one, but said, "Hello, Wei Fang."

Fang Jifan didn't expect that Abuhua was calling him, and turned around and looked at him strangely: "What's the matter?"

"I am ordered by the fifth prince. I will make it clear that if this time the comparison of arrows is just an ordinary archery target, it is meaningless. We Tatars compare arrows, and we are shooting at the opposite end. The fifth prince heard that the Ming Dynasty actually made a target and asked both sides to shoot arrows, comparing the archery, and they were not very satisfied with this. The lieutenant, the people on the grassland, have a tradition on the grassland. This time the winning or losing is so great that the shooting can make both sides of the competition work with all their strength."

Shooting...

After hearing this, Zhang Sheng suddenly turned cold: "If this is the case, what should I do if I hurt someone? Why did I make these requests now without any warning in advance?"

Abuhua smiled and said, "At first, we thought it was a archery target. Unexpectedly, after we learned about the arrangements of the Ming Dynasty, we realized that it was just an archery target. In the desert, only the Huangkou child took the arrow and went to the archery target. The fifth prince is a hero, so why would he still play the Huangkou child's trick?"

For a moment, the city tower was in an uproar.

Abuhua said: "Due fighting on the grassland is about life and death. If anyone wins, he will seize everything from the other party. Naturally, the fifth prince also knows that you Han people like literary comparisons, but if it is just an archery target, then the fifth prince simply won't compete. Of course, if you want to compete, once there are any casualties and injuries on both sides, it will be their own fault. Here is a handwritten life and death contract by the fifth prince. You Han people call it a life and death contract. The fifth prince has pressed his handprint, but he doesn't know whether the Ming court dares."

“…”

Zhang Sheng frowned. He knew that this was the trick of Abuhua and the fifth prince Shuchi. They kept silent. As a result, when everyone in the world knew that everything was arranged, they said they wanted to shoot against each other. If the Ming Dynasty was not accurate, they would be ridiculed as being ashamed of themselves and dare not fight the Tatars for life and death.

Zhang Sheng snorted coldly.

"Okay, okay, then cum against each other. I like to watch cum against each other the most." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "I will sign this life and death contract with you on behalf of my disciple. If he dies, he will be inferior to others and he will be blamed."

Zhu Houzhao rushed to make a picture.

Fang Jifan was also excited and rolled up his sleeves: "Your Highness, please let me do it. After all, it was me who made an appointment with them. It would be the most appropriate for me to sign and seal it."

"I am his master. Who will come if I don't come?"

Zhu Houzhao squeezed Fang Jifan away, and was so excited that he signed a life-and-death contract. Zhu Houzhao liked it. For him, these two people were only shooting arrows at the target, which was really meaningless. It was still so interesting. If his skills were not as good as others, he would die.

He hurriedly took over the life and death contract and signed the seal.

All the officials on the city tower were stunned and looked at Zhang Sheng. Zhang Sheng felt helpless, but he was helpless. He said in his heart, "Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, you have your own decisions. At that time, I don't know who died in the city because of you. Your Highness... is so willful."

But since His Royal Highness has made the decision, the rest of the people have nothing to say.

When Abuhua saw Zhu Houzhao signing the life and death contract, she was even red and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is indeed a warrior, and I admire him very much."

Zhu Houzhao said, "If you shoot the fifth prince to death, don't cry."

Abuhua laughed heartily: "We Tatars are the most loyal and righteous, and the duel is the arrangement of life and death. I will never cry. No matter what the result is, I am willing to accept it happily."

Abuhua smiled.

I thought to myself, today, let the fifth prince let you see the greatness of the Tatars riding and shooting, and it just happened to avenge the revenge of the first arrow!

Seeing that he was full of confidence, Zhang Sheng and others felt a little relieved.

The prefect of Shuntian was in front of the Prince's Hall, and he didn't dare to speak, but he was unsure and kept looking at Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Sheng had a blue face, but he didn't say anything.

As the drums were finished, the gate connecting the inner city and the outside of the city opened at the same time.

From this outer city, I saw the fifth prince walking out of the dragon and tiger steps, with his bow and arrow on his back, full of confidence.

When he walked into the urn from the doorway outside the city step by step, the spectators at the surrounding city walls were extremely quiet.

Countless people whispered and whispered, saying that this person was the red technique, said to be the archer of the Tatar, and even the Prince of the Tatar...

"Hey, why did anyone remove the target in the urn city?"

Recently, the telescope was out of stock. Many people bought this expensive telescope, which was for this competition. Countless people raised the telescope and saw that there were Shuntian Mansion personnel in the urn city and began to remove the target.

"I heard that you need to ejaculate, life and death are all right!"

"Oh, I've been killed by this. I'm afraid this Tatar is trying to kill the scholars of our Xishan Academy just rightly."

At the same time, the inner city gate had also been opened. After waiting for a long time, no one was seen in the door.
