    The new year is here.

    It¡¯s rare that it didn¡¯t snow on this day.

    In the Nuan Pavilion, Emperor Hongzhi sighed, the gambling fight is today.

    He originally wanted to ignore it.

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

    The sky was overcast, and now it was early morning. Emperor Hongzhi suddenly sighed and said: "Isn't it today that Fang Jifan and his people are waiting for the arrow show?"

    Regarding this matter, the entire capital was in an uproar and the commotion was so loud that Liu Jian and others could not ignore it even if they wanted to.

    People have a natural passion for competition.

    What¡¯s more, it also involves the Ming Dynasty and the Tatars. There is deep resentment between the two countries. Although the soldiers and civilians are not very optimistic about this matter, they also talk about it.

    The entertainment in this era is too poor. Even if it is something indescribable, it cannot be done all day long, as it will damage the kidneys.

    ¡°Is there anything in this world that is more eye-catching than this arrow?

    "Yes, Your Majesty, it's today." Liu Jiandao: "Because it involves the national envoys and Xishan Academy, the person in charge this time is Shuntian Prefecture Yin. The venue for the test arrows is in the Wengcheng in the East City.  The military camp has been abandoned for a long time and has been renovated."

    Emperor Hongzhi said: "Hey, this is condoning their nonsense."

    Although he said this, Emperor Hongzhi said: "Do you think that if Fang Jifan loses, he will commit suicide?"

    This is what Emperor Hongzhi is worried about.

    Liu Jian thought for a while and said, "I think it shouldn't be possible."

    Emperor Hongzhi looked at Xie Qian.

    Xie Qian said resolutely: "No."

    Li Dongyang was silent for a moment: "Fang Jifan is a witty person, and I would have guessed that he wouldn't"

    ""

    ??The ministers in the cabinet all spoke with certainty.

    It made Emperor Hongzhi feel more at ease. We can¡¯t let Xiurong become a widow, right?

    Butsince Fang Jifan won't commit suicide, but insists on gambling, thisis really hard to explain.

    Emperor Hongzhi pretended not to care: "I ordered Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, to preside over the archery test and let him proceed with caution."

    Zhang Sheng's illness has recovered, and he is now on duty in the ministry hall. Emperor Hongzhi asked the Ministry of Rites to go, hoping that in this competition, both sides would abide by the rules and avoid any mishaps.

    Liu Jian nodded: "I obey the order."

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    An edict arrived at the Ministry of Rites. Zhang Sheng accepted the order and immediately went to Wengcheng. At the Wengcheng tower, officials from Shuntian Mansion had already arrived to maintain order.

    On the city tower, many people came and it was crowded.

    Zhang Sheng has been in a bad mood these days. He frowned and couldn't help scolding Shuntian Fuyin: "Why are there so many people? The fewer bystanders the better!"

    Zhang Sheng has his own ideas. The Ming Dynasty favored literature over martial arts. This matter has become a hot topic. Now that so many people are watching, it is inevitable that it is not solemn and it is easy to cause trouble. Things may be out of control.

    The Yin of Shuntian Prefecture smiled bitterly and said: "Zhang Butang, I have no choice but to go to the official. All the princes and noble families in Beijing are coming, how can I stop the official?"

    He looked aggrieved: "Besides, even if you want to drive people away now, I'm afraid you won't be able to drive them away."

    In fact, there was one thing that the governor did not say. Not only did the Duke and some people who could not be offended come, but Shuntian Mansion did not dare to stop them, there were also many merchants or wealthy people who secretly bribed the people of Shuntian Mansion.  The net was also opened and let in.

    This Shuntian Mansion has deep contacts with the three sects and nine streams in Beijing. Therefore, if Shuntian Mansion assists in hosting this archery contest, it is inevitable that many "connected households" will come in.

    Zhang Sheng did not continue to pester. He only took a deep look at Shuntian Fuyin and sat down. Looking down from the tower, the barbican city below was extremely empty, and the surrounding walls were already overcrowded.

    Within a moment, Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan arrived.

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

    Zhu Houzhao glanced at Zhang Sheng with a smile: "Zhang Qing's family, there is no need to be polite."

    Zhang Sheng invited Zhu Houzhao to take the seat.

    Zhu Houzhao shook his head: "If I want to cheer for my disciples, I will sit down and sit down. Master Zhang can do whatever he wants."

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

    &nbsp??Zhang Sheng.

    Zhang Sheng¡¯s face was livid, but he didn¡¯t say a word.

    As the drums finished, the gates connecting the inner city and the outer city of the urn city opened at the same time.

    From the outer city, I saw the fifth prince Chishu walking out with a bow and arrow on his back, full of ambition.

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

    Countless people whispered and discussed in low voices that this person is Chi Shu, who is said to be the Tatar archer and the Tatar prince

    "Hey, why did someone want to remove the archery targets in Wengcheng?"

    Recently, this telescope has been out of stock. Many people bought this expensive telescope just for this competition. Countless people raised their telescopes and saw that in the Wengcheng, there were Shuntian Prefecture officers starting to dismantle the archery targets.

    "I heard that we are going to shoot each other, life or death!"

    "Ah, what's happened now, this Tatar is just trying to kill us, the scholars of Xishan Academy, justifiably."

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

    Um?  Hasn't anyone come out yet?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
