Chapter 236 Hunting
During this trip, the prefect of Jinan also considered whether the emperor was in good health. After all, he had said he was tired the day before, and today's activities were all about relaxation and sightseeing.
When the arrangement was told to the Emperor, he was displeased.
"What's so fun about this? Tell me something interesting..."
The prefect of Jinan noticed that the emperor looked to be in good health and full of energy.
Thinking it best to go up the mountain for sightseeing, the Emperor waved his hand and said:
"Alright, pass it on. We're going hunting today. After being out for so long, our bodies are getting stiff. Let's get some exercise."
The prefect almost knelt down. What was the Emperor doing? He was exhausted the day before yesterday and had rested for a whole day. He was terrified at the time.
Why the sudden decision to go hunting today? What if something happens to me? How can I afford to take responsibility?
But the emperor had already spoken, so how could he dare to object! He could only sweat profusely and anxiously go out to prepare.
The notice was issued first, instructing all ministers to prepare.
Prime Minister Ji declined, saying he was too old to go out himself, but suggested his grandson accompany him to broaden his horizons. The Emperor offered some words of comfort and did not insist.
When Jia Daishan and Jia Daihua received the news, they were quite helpless. Why was the Emperor making such a fuss about going hunting again?
So suddenly, Jia Daihua hurriedly went out to make preparations.
Jia Hu and Jia Zhen had just arrived and wanted to ask if their grandfathers were going out again today. Were they going with the Emperor, or were they going with them?
Upon arrival, they saw their great-uncle rushing out without even a greeting. The two entered the house, puzzled. Jia Hu asked:
"Grandfather, why is Grandfather in such a hurry to go out? Is something the matter?"
Jia Daishan relayed the Emperor's decree, leaving Jia Hu utterly bewildered.
Is there something wrong with my adoptive grandfather?
As an emperor of such advanced age, shouldn't he be paying more attention to his health? Why does he act on a whim and suddenly go hunting?
At her age, what if something happens to her?
Just yesterday she said she was tired and needed a day off, and today she's like this again!
Jia Daishan wanted to say to himself that he had no idea what the emperor was up to.
Since leaving the capital, the Emperor's behavior has become increasingly different from usual, even resembling that of his youth. Could this be...?
For a moment, Jia Daishan couldn't think of any words to describe it.
Then he heard his grandson continue speaking in his mind.
Is this a case of "If you don't go crazy now, you'll be too old"? But that doesn't make sense, he's already old. Is this some kind of last-ditch effort before he dies?
Jia Daishan listened to his grandson's treasonous remarks and found them surprisingly appropriate; they could even be applied to the emperor.
The emperor's decree kept the officials in a very busy state, as well as the servants from each household, in addition to those responsible for patrolling and guarding the area.
The men below were kept very busy preparing the clothes and supplies for hunting, and they managed to get everything sorted out within an hour.
The Emperor thoroughly enjoyed the hunt, and even Jia Hu was envious.
Especially when the Emperor returned with his two grandfathers, bringing the spoils of war, Jia Hu and Jia Zhen couldn't help but cheer. So cool! So incredibly cool! He's still got it!
Given the opportunity to showcase their talents, the princes shone brightly, deserving of praise as young geniuses!
In order to impress the emperor, the ministers used all sorts of tricks and skills!
