In early April of the 20th year of Yan Ping, Emperor Yan Ping led the prince, princess and court officials to Shenglong Paddock, six hundred miles away from Kyoto. Zongzheng and Li Wei stayed in Beijing to guard the city, and King Qin Li Wei was old and were not on the list of entourage. However, in order to show his "honor and favor" for King Qin's lineage, Emperor Yan Ping took away King Qin's granddaughter and Li Wei's relatives. Sister, the eldest princess Li Wei.
The distance of six hundred miles is not that far, but when an emperor travels, comfort is the most important thing, so it took the team five days to arrive at Shenglong Paddock. After a day of grooming, it was hunting day.
He likes to chase cunning beasts with galloping dogs, or chase pheasants and rabbits with eagles and harriers.
Hunting is an activity that Emperor Yan Ping loved very much. Hunting also has the meaning of military training. The princes and ministers participating in the meeting must wear armor, which is not only for protection but also for solemnity.
Emperor Yan Ping, who was chatting and laughing with Yan Yan with his ministers, looked obviously displeased for a moment after seeing Li Yan coming wearing Xuanguang Armor.
The Xuanguang Armor was originally smelted by the deposed emperor of the former dynasty, who gathered all the skilled craftsmen from all over the world and spent ten years and countless expenses to smelt it. The deposed emperor originally wanted to show off his martial arts with this armor, but he never thought that on the day when the armor was completed, the world would be in rebellion and war would break out. The deposed emperor had to use this armor to teach the prince to quell the rebellion. In just three years, the prince, with the support of his uncle, the emperor Taizu of this dynasty, successively pacified thirty-seven counties, all the way to Dongguan Town on the border of Suyun Kingdom.
The deposed emperor was worried about this and recalled the prince. Before the third month, the prince was framed by Duke Shentu and forced to commit suicide. Before his death, the prince gave this armor to Taizu. After Taizu heard the bad news, he revolted with Yijia. The whole country gathered in response, and the deposed emperor's regime collapsed instantly. After Taizu, this armor was passed down to Emperor Taizong, so it was also called Emperor Armor. However, Emperor Taizong did not pass this armor on to Emperor Yan Ping, but passed it on to King Li Han of the Jin Dynasty. Therefore, there are also rumors among the people that Emperor Taizong originally preferred Jin King Li Long to inherit the throne, but it was only when the Jin king was young that he passed it on to Emperor Yan Ping.
Li Han originally did not want to participate in the hunting. He felt that his name was already very famous, and he had to leave some opportunities for others. But Wei Haohao participated in this kind of activity for the first time, and he really wanted to see him hunting. Li Jun scratched his face and agreed with a smile.
Hunting was still risky, and it was not easy to bring these ladies along. Therefore, Wei Haohao had to stay in the tent with the queen and others as well as the ministers who did not participate.
After Emperor Yan Ping announced that the hunting had begun, everyone got on their horses and made preparations. The prince and Lu Tong were in a team, King Chen took his companion Lu Bin, and the others formed their own teams. After everyone was ready, Emperor Yan Ping was ready to mount his horse and set off.
"Prince Jin, why do you stay where you are and don't go hunting?" As soon as Emperor Yan Ping got up, he found Li Han still sitting in his seat chatting with Wei Haohao.
"My son..." Li Han wanted to find a reason to delay for a while, but Wei Haohao pinched his arm, so he had to change his words: "My son, I will go now."
Emperor Yan Ping Nodding, thinking that when Li Jun got on the horse first, he wouldReady to go.
Li Jun stood up and looked back at Wei Haohao with a very aggrieved expression. Emperor Yan Ping's veins jumped when he saw it, and he wanted to get angry, but he held back because of the occasion.
He finally got to the horse, but he slowly refused to get on the horse. Wei Haohao had no choice but to leave his seat, walked up to him and said, "I'll wait for you to come back safely."
Li Hao was happy, got on the horse happily, and said, "Madam, don't worry, I will definitely get one." The first one back."
"The ranking is not important, you have to come back safely."
"I know, madam, go back quickly, be careful of the dust raised by the horse's hooves. "
The two people's crooked look made Li Wei very uncomfortable. He mocked: "It's just a short time, Sister-in-law Qi is too worried."
At this time, Wei Haohao had turned around and was about to return to his seat, so naturally he couldn't hear what Li Hao said.
Li Hao looked at Wei Hao Hao's back, suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the collar of Li Hao's cloak, and said sadly: "Wait a minute, let's talk."
When Wei Haohao returned to his seat and looked at him, his hand had already let go of Li Hao. Wei Haohao didn't see this scene and smiled at Li Hao, who also smiled brightly in return.
Emperor Yan Ping finally sat on his royal horse. After saying "Let's go", everyone surrounded Emperor Yan Ping and left. When the road forked, they left according to their previous arrangements.
"Black peony!" Li Hao was pleasantly surprised to find this king of flowers and an alien among peonies in a forest.

Li Han happily picked the flowers, but he never thought that an arrow would pass by his ear.
"My lord, be careful!" Qin Yao had no time to block the arrow.
Li Jun picked the peonies first slowly and then looked back.
Standing atop the horse, Li Wei looked at him with resentment.
"I didn't expect you to escape. Next time, you won't be so lucky." After Li Wei finished speaking, he tucked the horse's belly and left.
Li Han looked at it coldly, without sadness or joy.
Qin Yao said guiltily: "This subordinate has neglected his duty."
Li Jun shook his head and said, "I don't blame you, this is between me and him."
"Haha, my seventh brother is very considerate. No wonder, after all, he is the only biological brother, so he has to be pampered and given way."
"Did you come here specifically to see my joke?"
The prince smiled and said: "Passing by. The eleventh brother is spoiled."
"He is proud of his favor and gets carried away with himself." Li Han sniffed the peony. Fragrance, commented briefly and sharply.
The prince became interested and asked: "What does the seventh brother think of me?"? ”
“Indecisive and soft-hearted. "
"Then what does the seventh brother think of himself? "
"The jade tree is facing the wind, tall and mighty, and majestic..."
"Ahem. "The prince coughed hard, interrupting his narcissism.
"I'm going to go hunting first. Seventh brother, please excuse me. "
After everyone left, Qin Yao asked curiously: "Your Majesty, what are you doing picking these flowers? I might be inconvenienced during this hunt. "
Li Han smiled slightly and said, "Of course it's for Madam. "
Hunting is nothing, it is more important than trying to please the wife.
Less than half an hour has passed since the group left, and Li Jun came back on horseback. , everyone was a little strange. Li Han ignored these probing glances, handed the black peony to Wei Haohao, and left with satisfaction after receiving the princess's smile.
