In the blink of an eye, the thirty or so meritorious officials and generals who had committed the crime had all finished riding and shooting.
Less than twenty people passed.
There were less than seven excellent people.
All the officials, nobles, and relatives felt ashamed when they saw this scene.
And this was in front of tens of thousands of soldiers in the western camp.
The ancestors of these people had once swept across the battlefield. Whether it was martial arts or the ability to unite, they were the top batch in Great Ming.
How many years had passed?
The second and third generations of Jingnan had already fallen to the point where they couldn't even pass the riding and archery test.
As such, there was no need to mention his military strategy.
These nobles had long been corrupted by gold, silver, beauties, wine, and delicacies.
After a short period of embarrassment, these dignitaries began to get excited again.
Although it was extremely embarrassing for the high-ranking general who had committed the crime to show off his riding and archery skills, it should be better than the new emperor, right?
This way, the lives of the criminals would be preserved.
At this moment, the arrogant Jing Yuan Zhang Yi raised his head and looked at Zhu Qiyu.
"Your Majesty, it's your turn."
"I hope you keep your word.”
His rude attitude made the commander of the Brocade Guard, Tang Jian, draw the Embroidered Spring Knife at his waist.
"Haha, Tang Jian, back off."
Zhu Qiyu raised his hand and dismissed Tang Jian.
Then, he swept his gaze across the officials and the royal family.
"Although I have been weak and sickly since I was young, I have never forgotten Emperor Yong Le's teachings: The descendants of the Zhu family should be able to stabilize the world with a horse and stabilize the country with a pen.”
"I also believe that your ancestors left behind similar teachings. Do you still remember?"
After he finished speaking, he sneered and jumped onto his warhorse.
Even though he was wearing a heavy golden armor and helmet, he was still very strong.
Just this display alone had already made all the dignitaries dumbstruck.
Many civil and military officials saw that the Emperor was really going to compete with the nobles.
Many people stepped forward to dissuade him.
"Emperor Taizu, Emperor Yongle, and Emperor Xuanzong are all capable of going into battle to kill the enemy. Although I am not talented, I am willing to imitate my ancestors.”
After he finished speaking, he rode his horse away.
At this moment, be it the civil and military officials, the royal family, or the tens of thousands of soldiers, they all clearly heard the new emperor's shout.
For some reason, they felt a sense of pride.
"Sick."
Zhu Qiyu drew the bow in his hand and shot an arrow at the target like lightning.
"Bingo, heart."
The young eunuch Wang Cheng had sharp eyes and immediately jumped up in excitement.
At this moment, all of his previous grievances and worries were released.
"Swoosh!"
Before the tens of thousands of people could react, the new emperor shot out his second arrow.
"Another…bullseye."
At this moment, not only did Eunuch Wang Cheng cry out in shock, many civil and military officials also cried out in shock.
"Plop!"
A few criminals had already collapsed to the ground.
The Emperor had already hit the bullseye with two arrows. They had lost.
The other nobles were not any better.
Because the Emperor had hit both arrows, that meant…
"Another hit."
This time, the thousands of soldiers sighed.
"Another hit."
Exclamations, cheers, and waves of cheers grew louder and louder.
When the new emperor's fifth arrow hit the bullseye, even the beards of the elders began to tremble.
"The sixth arrow hit."
"The seventh arrow hit."
"The eighth arrow hit."
At this moment, the entire drill ground became silent.
It was as if a pin drop could be heard.
"The ninth arrow hit the bullseye again."
Following a sharp scream.
The tens of thousands of soldiers on the Drill Ground once again shouted loudly.
"Hooray."
"Hooray."
"Hooray."
If their cheers were due to gratitude before, they would have been able to say that they were grateful.
The cheers today were due to admiration and worship.
Such superb archery skills were definitely among the best among all the emperors in history.
Just as they were looking forward to the new emperor hitting ten out of ten arrows…
However, he shot the last arrow into the air.
Then, the Ferghana Horse stopped in front of everyone.
Zhu Qiyu, who was wearing golden armor and helmet, jumped down from his horse with a calm expression.
"Emperor Yongle hit the bull's eye nine out of ten times. This one's aptitude is shallow, how can I surpass my ancestor?”
When they heard his words, all the officials were shocked.
Nine shots all hit and the last arrow was an empty arrow to show his respect towards Emperor Yong Le.
After the civil and military officials reacted, they all cried bitterly and were extremely excited.
"Your Majesty is truly a benevolent and filial ruler."
"The heavens have eyes. My Great Ming is going to give birth to another generation of sage kings who rule the world.”
"I, Da Ming, can finally restore my former glory.”
"Hooray."
"Hooray."
"Long live you."
Tens of thousands of soldiers cheered again.
No one was unwilling to see a wise emperor ruling the world.
The faces of the nobles were all pale.
Today, the blow that this new emperor had given them was too great.
In their impression, the image of this new emperor was still the timid and cowardly King Hun from a few days ago.
Even if he became the emperor and became the ruler.
However, the impression he had left over the past ten or twenty years was too deep-rooted.
How could he change it in such a short time?
But now, they knew how foolish their thoughts were.
This was an emperor who was comparable to Emperor Yongle in terms of both civil administration and martial arts.
He was a son of heaven full of blood and wisdom.
He was a decisive emperor.
The offending generals had already collapsed to the ground.
Even Zhang Yi, the Earl of Jingyuan, who had always been eccentric, had a pale face as he knelt on the ground in a daze.
Not to mention the other even more incompetent nobles.
Zhu Qiyu was terrified as he looked at the generals.
"You guys have lost the riding and archery competition."
As soon as he finished speaking, many of the generals on the ground were so scared that they peed and shit.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life."
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. On account of the fact that my father died in battle for Great Ming, please spare my lowly life.”
"Your Majesty, I don't want to die. I won't dare to do it again.”
These people were the second and third generations of Jingnan. They had all grown up in a honey pot.
In the past, they could ignore the deaths and pleas of others.
However, when it was their turn, they finally realized how terrifying death was.
Unfortunately, no matter how much they begged, Zhu Qiyu no longer looked at them.
"I said it before the competition. I am the Son of Heaven of Ming Dynasty. I will never go back on my word. So…you guys should go.”
A group of Jinyiwei who were like wolves and tigers received Commander Tang Jian's expression.
He pulled out the Embroidered Spring Saber and in front of the civil and military officials, as well as the other royal relatives.
He chopped off the heads of these sinners.
