The latter was what really made Zhao Jiu angry.

After another small disturbance passed, the monarchs and ministers on the Yuedai suppressed the great vigilance in their hearts, and the military parade officially began.

Seeing the bright reward, all the soldiers were naturally excited.

Then, as the explanation of the martial arts performance was given, and the Jinshi who accompanied the army gave a routine explanation, everyone realized that this time the martial arts performance was not as confusing as in the past, but was actually somewhat interesting...

For example, there are horse racing competitions between cavalry and horse racing, which are divided into short distances and long distances. For short distances, Xu Qijia is light-weighted. It just depends on whoever follows the road around Yuetai and Yuetai Camp and completes it the fastest. For long distances, he must be fully armed and carry a day's training with him.

A tube of dry food, water, and a bag of fodder. Set off from Yuotai and go to Qingcheng outside the south gate of Tokyo City to collect tokens, and then return to Yuotai. You can choose the road of your own choice. You are not allowed to lose key utensils except for food and fodder, and you are not allowed to eat elsewhere on the way.

, whoever comes back first wins.

In addition, there are cavalry drills, which are divided into two types: one is a team of fifty people, with two teams competing for supremacy, and the other is a hundred-man mixed drill, each fighting on their own, all holding wooden logs wrapped with cloth.

The pole is mounted on the horse to attack, but the reins and stirrups are not allowed to be placed. Once the horse falls off the horse, it is considered a defeat.

Another example is the infantry, which also runs, but it is similar to the cavalry running horses, except that they do not have mounts.

The infantry drills are also similar, but instead they take the name posted on the opponent's vest.

There are also archers, they don’t have more tricks than anyone else, they just set up a target and draw ten circles from the inside out on the target. After shooting a tube of arrows, they are all ordinary bows, the same distance, the same time, the same target, who counts?

The most accurate and clear at a glance.

But shooting crossbows is different from archery. It is not a comparison of accuracy, but a comparison of accuracy. Instead, you have to use a divine arm bow, load the crossbow yourself, and ensure that the crossbow arrows are effective only when they reach a certain distance. The competition is to see who can shoot all twenty standard crossbow arrows in a shorter time.

The rest range from throwing iron balls to tug-of-war, to lifting weights, to spear throwing, to military Cuju.

There are many projects, and the schedule has been scheduled for more than ten days... It was only announced that day, and from the evening, all the officials returned, but only Zhao Guan's family, the Imperial Banzhi, and relevant officials from the Ministry of War stayed at Yuetai Camp.

, observe and deal with this matter.

In the next few days, officials occasionally came over, but they were all casual.

Regardless of anything else, let’s just say that after several days, thanks to the Zhao Guan family’s pressure and the fairness of the martial arts exercise, the matter finally got on the right track, and it indeed mobilized all the military departments to compete for victory, and the scene became increasingly exciting.

, and even attracted a large number of people to watch every day... These scenes made Zhao Guan's family put aside the matter of Wang Shun for the time being, and their mood improved day by day.

By the end of April, although there were some flaws due to the initial holding, the martial arts competition was still considered a victory. When all the rewards were handed out, the Zhao Guan family finally returned with the civil and military officials who were out of the city again... According to Zhao Jiu's plan, this

When he goes back next time, he will take the simplified Arabic numerals that he has started to use a long time ago (Arabic numerals these days are actually completely different from those of later generations, and even a little strange), and then connect them to the chart system, conduct a thorough and extensive promotion, and incorporate it into

Government work, even imperial examinations.

In this way, Zhao Jiu, who was in a good mood, took the lead and turned back with all the civil and military officials. He could reach Kaiyuanmen (the west gate of Tokyo City opposite Xuande Tower), but he encountered an accident again - it was Fu Que who complained.

Of course, it's a bit inappropriate to say it was an accident. This was so common that it was even traditional. Zhao Jiu didn't take it seriously. Just like last time, relevant people handled it according to the established procedures - since it was a complaint.

Instead of admonishing the officials, it was natural for the Imperial Banzhi to take the person to the side of the road, and then officials from the Ministry of Punishment came forward to take the document, and other officials came forward to comfort and inquire.

At the same time, the large army continued to set off, still slowly returning to the city.

No one took this matter seriously. After watching a military sports meeting, Zhao Jiu, who had a new plan in mind, didn't take it seriously...until Ma Shen, the livid-faced Minister of the Ministry of Justice, suddenly stepped forward and walked around.

The four prime ministers handed a document to Zhao Guan's family in public.

Obviously, this is the document of Fu Que's petition just received.

Zhao Jiu didn't take it seriously at first, so he picked it up immediately and opened it to look at it. However, he only glanced at it and instantly realized what Ma Shen had done. At the same time, he became completely shocked and angry! But this time, compared to a few days ago,

The anger caused by Wang Shun's actions was even greater!

But after all, he has been the emperor for many years, and he has been trained for it. His face is still not showing off, he just puts away the documents casually in front of everyone, then glances at Ma Shen lightly, and then continues to move forward.

According to political rules, he should hand the document to the governors for review, but none of the governors took the initiative to ask for it. Even Ma Shen did not say anything unexpectedly, but slightly slowed down the speed of the mule and returned behind the governors.

It's just a queue...and his face is still gloomy and uncertain.

At this moment, not looking at the officials and ministers, but just looking at Ma Shangshu's expression, the important ministers in the front row knew that something was going on, but they could only pretend not to know, and then steeled themselves, urging their mounts to follow Zhao Guan's house.

Return to the east... As long as you get to Xuande Tower and enter Xuande Gate, you can take advantage of the situation to disband, and then go in private to inquire.

However, when the imperial driver arrived in front of Xuande Tower, another small accident happened.

A bird was disturbed by the guard of honor and flew out of the door of Xuande Tower. It almost floated away in front of Zhao Guan's family.

As soon as Feiniao rushed, although there was no scene of frightening the horse and losing control, it actually staggered for a moment and did not dare to get into the doorway.

Zhao Jiu urged the horse several times, but the horse could not move forward, and he got angry, so he simply dismounted and prepared to walk into the palace. The other officials had no choice but to get off the mule horse one after another.

At this time, perhaps his old habit relapsed. After dismounting, Gou Long Ruyuan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry and the left minister, couldn't help laughing and said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that this royal horse will be given so many rewards by the officials at Yuetai."

, I also want to ask for a reward or even a birth certificate..."

madness!

Overdone!

I don't know how many people coldly mocked this new minister in their hearts.

And sure enough, Zhao Jiu finally turned back indifferently, glanced at Goulong Ruyuan, looked at the horse again, then glanced at several ministers and ministers, and finally looked at Yang Yizhong aside, and said coldly

Decree:

"It's just a horse that asks for a reward for no reason. Where do you put all the soldiers in the imperial camp? Kill the horse and show its head to everyone!"

After saying this, the official walked directly into the palace.

Seeing this situation, Gou Long Ruyuan was stunned, and then turned pale and stood on the spot in shock, while the other important ministers also lost their countenance... They could indeed see that the official was in a bad mood, and they also saw that Gou Long Ruyuan had gone too far and provoked

When I arrived at the official house, I never thought that things would reach this point.

The official family disappeared directly into the large gate building, leaving the honor guard and officials outside the door. Yang Yizhong looked at Liu Yan beside him. They were helpless, but they called two Ban Zhi to remove the saddle stirrups first, and then Liu Yan

He grabbed the horse's head himself, Yang Yizhong drew his sword himself, raised the sword with his hand and then beheaded the royal horse in front of Xuande Tower.

The horse's head rolled over and blood flowed all over the ground. The team came forward to 'hang their heads in public', and saw Yang and Liu salute and say goodbye to the prime ministers with blood stains, and then hurriedly entered the palace. All the officials were frightened and talked a lot.

Not to mention the growing suspicion... On the other side, Zhao Jiu returned to the palace, but did not go to the harem to rest. Instead, he went to the stone pavilion in the backyard, where he opened the document handed over by Ma Shan with a livid face, and then carefully

Go and see.

The things on the document are actually very, very simple. Zhao Jiu already knew it after taking a few glances before. There is nothing fancy about it now... It is nothing more than a few Fujian scholars in Beijing who filed a petition to solve the problem last time.

Encouraged by the temple issue, he immediately continued his efforts, carried forward the Song Dynasty's tradition of not telling offenders, and once again impeached a very famous unfilial son in Fujian.

According to the statement in the document, this unfilial son became famous early and became a highly respected minister, but he never supported his father and mother, and even uttered resentful words against his parents many times.

audiovisual.

Ethics and filial piety have always been something these scholars like to discuss. Rural scholar-bureaucrats have their own traditions of upholding discipline. This is also commonplace, and impeaching high-ranking officials for being unfilial... As long as they are not retaliated against, success or failure can be rewarded, not to mention more.

carry.

But these are not the key. The key is that this unfilial son was called Hu Yin. He was the minister of the Ministry of Industry of the dynasty. He was one of the three outstanding figures of Taixue in the past and was a close official of Zhao Guan's family.

In addition, Zhao Jiu roughly guessed from the beginning that the content of this impeachment letter from the Fujian Folk Township Party was probably true and not false - Hu Yin was an 'unfilial son'.
