Only after the Emperor of Xiyun and Su Chengyu had left Fenghua Palace did An Jing ask Xiao Changyi, "My lord, don’t you find teaching people bothersome? Why did you agree to instruct Chengyu in horseback archery tomorrow?"
Xiao Changyi said indifferently, "Life is unpredictable. Who knows, if one day he inherits the throne, he might need to lead the army himself, just like the old man did. I do not expect him to kill the enemy, one soldier at a time; I simply hope he can protect himself and not burden others." He paused. "When the old man went to war in person, it indeed boosted the morale, but it also brought considerable trouble to the troops."
An Jing: "..." Is it really okay for you to talk about an Emperor like that?

The next morning, Prime Minister Li reported the matter of military boxing to the Emperor of Xiyun during the early court session and had two young soldiers demonstrate it.
The three sets of military boxing dazzled the military officers, and the civil officials also held them in high regard. The Emperor of Xiyun praised it three times, credited the King of Eternal Victory for his achievement, and then issued a decree to promote military boxing within the army.
Right after the court session, Su Chengyu hurried back to the East Palace, changed into clothes suitable for horseback archery, and arrived at the northern archery grounds of the Imperial Palace.
