When the emperor goes on tour, hunting in autumn is naturally no small matter.
However, Emperor Jing was usually diligent in his work, and no one in the court had any objections.
In addition, Fang Zhengyi is now popular and he added fuel to the fire behind the scenes, so the hunt began naturally.
Although the Dajing royal family had no tradition of regular hunting, the emperor could still go out for a trip whenever he felt like it.
The hunting ground had been abandoned for a long time, and there should have been fences and nets around it, but they had long since become rotten and damaged.
Fortunately, it had already been tidied up under the instructions of Li Yuanzhao and Fang Zhengyi.
At this moment, all the civil and military officials of the court had been invited to gather in the hunting grounds, and all the tents and ceremonial guards were ready.
All hunting tools are also available, including traps, clamps, cages, nets, cellars, scissors, wood presses, hunting horses, hunting dogs, etc.
All ceremonial guards are now under the charge of Fang Zhengyi.
As an expert in putting on a show, the show must be good.
The Jinyiwei stood in line with their chests puffed out and their heads held high, their weapons all being custom-made ceremonial embroidered spring swords.
The knife shape is slender and graceful, more slender, and the scabbard is also decorated incomparably gorgeously!
The Jinyiwei carrying the flags also considerately knitted white gloves for them to wear.
The only pity is that we couldn’t get some trumpets or something so that we could line up in two rows and play them.
I do have a suona, but I don't dare to use it.
Once the scene is set and everyone is present, designated people will perform some rituals to honor the heavens and ancestors.
During the ceremony, Fang Zheng kept looking around the venue.
I was thinking about what other links were not in place.
All the fun things hidden in Taoyuan County have been brought here and are being placed not far away, but they are covered with red cloth to maintain some mystery.
Taoyuan County has called in several capable players, and Brother Biao will naturally never be absent.
In addition, he even brought his own doctors! Doctors from Taoyuan County and those who were doing penicillin research were all brought over.
It’s not that Emperor Jing went hunting without bringing the imperial physician, but in case of animal bites or the like, penicillin would be more effective in killing bacteria.
In Fang Zhengyi's opinion, Dajing's medical skills were really poor.
Although it has some similarities with traditional Chinese medicine on Earth, I have never heard of the emergence of classics such as the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine and Compendium of Materia Medica.
There doesn't even seem to be a famous medical saint or medical immortal, which is really a pity.
Fang Zhengyi had heard a little bit about it, but medicine was different from other things. It was a matter of life and death, and it was not something to be taken lightly.
Thinking of this, he only regretted that he had not studied Chinese medicine well and spread the culture to another world.
At this moment, Doctor Hu from the Imperial Medical Bureau was glaring at his former enemy, penicillin expert Wang Meng, who came from Taoyuan County.
Wang Meng's expression was calm and composed. He lowered his head slightly and stared at the ground, not knowing what he was thinking about, as if the sounds coming from his ears had nothing to do with him.
The assistant beside him whispered, "Brother Wang, that imperial physician still remembers us."
"Don't worry about him. The master asked us to come here in case of any emergency... hunting today... can penicillin also treat animal bites?"
"Bite? It's to treat bruises or abrasions... Your Majesty is hunting, it's not easy to get bitten."
Wang Meng shook his head slightly. "There's no need to use penicillin for injuries. The master said there are many wolves in the hunting park. Are there any captives left in the county? Go back and find a few dogs to experiment with."
"Don't bother me, Brother Wang. The funding has been suspended. The prisoners have all been naturalized. How can we get the money?"
"Don't be afraid. I went to the capital a few days ago to treat two cases of external wound infection. I also sold a few tubes of penicillin to a wealthy family and earned more than three thousand taels. We have money."
"Shit, this is against the rules! What should I do if the inventory doesn't match?"
"It's okay. I've reported the damage. It's all for research. The master will definitely not blame me."
....
After the boring ceremony was finished, Emperor Jing glanced at his pocket watch out of habit.
After putting it back in his arms, he walked to the front of the crowd and said loudly: "I have gathered all of you here today, firstly for the autumn hunt, and secondly, at Fang Qing's request, I want you to see some new weapons."
"This weapon was created by the gods who built rivers and controlled floods, split mountains and rocks. You must open your eyes to it today."
Divine object?
The ministers were in an uproar and began to murmur among themselves.
Although many people had no objection to Emperor Jing going out hunting, they had objections to him dragging a whole group of people along!
Who knows how long the fight will last? It’s normal to fight for more than ten days. Wouldn’t it be nice to use this time to go home and take a vacation?
But when he heard the four words "cutting mountains and splitting rocks", his complaints were immediately dispelled.
Everyone wants to see something so legendary!
Seeing the lively discussion below, Emperor Jing did not care and continued, "Since it is a sudden decision, you don't have to be too particular about the rules. Those who want to hunt, bring hunting gear and horses, and go straight into the forest. Those who are not feeling well can stay in the tent, and the food and wine are ready."
"Fang Qing, take out the things quickly and let everyone see them."
Everyone's eyes shifted to Fang Zhengyi. Fang Zhengyi stepped out of the line, bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I have already sent someone to make arrangements for today."
"The weapon is right there!" Fang Zheng pointed with his hand. "But please wait a moment! I will go into the forest to hunt first, and bring it back so that everyone can see the results of this new weapon. Then I will demonstrate it to you."
"As for the evening, I have also made some arrangements. Your Majesty and your colleagues are invited to move to Taoyuan County! I have prepared some programs there, and please enjoy the special delicacies."
"What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Program? Are you launching a new program in Taoyuan County?
The officials were in an uproar and began to whisper to each other...
"Did you hear that? Fang Zhengyi is preparing another show. It can't be the Legend of the White Snake from last time, right?"
"How is it possible? Can you still use the same program to fool His Majesty?"
"Master Jiang, are you going?"
"Haha, I want to see what kind of immoral things it is. If it's not well acted, I'll criticize it! Don't you see that the capital is full of evil tendencies from Taoyuan County?"
"That's right! That's right!"
Listening to the discussion below, Emperor Jing felt a little embarrassed.
Still coming? What if you come up with something immoral again? You'll be laughed at for the rest of your life!
"Fang Qing, the autumn hunt doesn't end in one day. Isn't this a bit too hasty?"
Fang Zhengyi said solemnly: "It is indeed a bit rushed, but I promise that everyone will be satisfied and have an eye-opener!"
Seeing his firm attitude, Emperor Jing said, "Okay! Since you are in charge of everything today, I won't say any more. I want to see what you are up to after you keep keeping me in suspense!"
As he spoke, he took out his pocket watch again, glanced at it and said, "My dear ministers, you may be a little tired after just arriving. Just relax today and don't be restrained. The scenery around here is nice. If you want to rest, you can rest. Let's go."
The ministers nodded in agreement and slowly dispersed. Emperor Jing waved to Fang Zheng.
When Fang Zheng approached, he asked, "What preparations have been made in the hunting garden?"
......
