The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 86 Shame and Coincidence

"Hey, that's right!" Cheng Yaojin showed his back molars with a smile, loosened the horse's hooves, and said carelessly, no matter how far the horse was scared by him, "this time it's time to go!" My old Cheng family got rich!"

"Get rich? Dad, what are you getting rich for?" Cheng Chumo asked, rubbing his head in confusion.

"Go, go, what do children know, just go away and play." Lao Cheng kicked Cheng Chu silently with a feudal patriarchal kick.

As a veteran of many battles, Cheng Yaojin and Qin's second brother immediately understood the purpose of the iron plate after seeing the horseshoe nailed to the horse's hoof, and Cheng Chumo didn't need to explain it.

As for the stirrups, those things were of no use to Lao Cheng, so he didn't care.

……

As the saying goes, it is better to act than to be moved, and to do what you think is Lao Cheng's unique style.

After discovering the function of the four iron plates, Lao Cheng didn't care about his second elder brother Qin, he didn't even ask Cheng Chumo about buying wine, and rode out of the house on the horse-shoeed horse and went straight to the emperor's house. city.

That look of excitement, no matter how you look at it, is gleeful.

……

It was night, in the bedroom, Empress Changsun looked worriedly at His Majesty Li Er, who was full of worries, laughed and sighed for a while, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

"Hey..., I'm really ashamed this time!" It's not known how many times Li Shimin sighed this night.

Empress Changsun's expression changed slightly: "What happened? Can you tell me?"

"It's really nothing to say, I don't know if Guanyin's maidservant still remembers those four iron pieces?"

"Your Majesty, you mean the four that your father sent back to you?"

Of course Empress Changsun remembered the four iron plates that were three flat and four not round, after all, the husband and wife spent half the night thinking about those four iron plates.

"Today I finally know what that is for." Li Shimin smiled wryly again.

"What is it for?" Empress Changsun was also very curious.

"That thing is actually called a horseshoe, also called a horseshoe. The real purpose is to nail it on the horse's hoof to prevent the horse's hoof from cracking during running."

"What? Used, used on horseshoes?" After hearing the function of the four iron plates, Empress Changsun also felt a little surprised.

But soon there was a strange expression on the pretty face, looking at Li Shimin's 'hangchihangchi' face, which seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

"Laugh if you want, I'm mentally prepared. It's a pity that the old man Cheng Yaojin told me about it. With this old man's big mouth, I'm afraid it won't take tomorrow, and it will spread all over Chang'an City. !" Li Shimin's expression was complicated, with joy, frustration, and excitement.

Fortunately, it was because at the very beginning, he almost put on the four iron pieces and hung them on his body. If that happened, this f*cking face would be thrown outside Yazhou.

I said I was annoyed, because the old man was too deceitful to his son. No matter how I wrote the word "horseshoe", I could understand what this thing was for, but in the end the old man insisted on not writing it (of course, this is Li Second, I misunderstood Li Yuan, in fact Li Yuan didn't know about Li Muyun offering him a horseshoe.).

As for the last excitement, needless to say, in the afternoon, I saw that old man Cheng Yaojin galloping on the gravel road in the Imperial Garden. Although countless exotic flowers and plants were crushed, Li Shimin couldn't care less about them. Because he knew that the Tang cavalry would be able to cross this continent in the near future, unstoppable.

But..., but even if, it's still so embarrassing!Thinking of Cheng Yaojin's broken mouth, Li Er was depressed again.

……

In the twinkling of an eye, two days later, General Zuojian was ordered to build horseshoe horses with all his strength, and redress the whole army.

At this time, Li Er received another gift from Shanyin County.

But this time, just to be on the safe side, so as to avoid the embarrassment of being bored last time, Li Er was careful, looked at Chen Tu who put a large bundle of bamboo tubes on the ground, and asked: "What are the names of these things that Li Muyun offered?" ?”

"Return to Your Majesty, this thing is called Er Tijiao." The third child of the Chen family replied.

Hearing this name, Li Shimin began to give up any hope for his newly appointed Xiaoyaohou. Ganqingya is an ignorant bastard, so the name is useless.

"Er, what is Er kick?" Empress Changsun, who was playing with Li Shimin in the imperial garden, saw that Li Er was silent, so she took over the conversation and asked.

"Hui Niangniang, Xiaoyaohou said, this is a kind of firework, it needs to be set off in a place with few people, and the people watching need to stand a hundred steps away."

"Well, that kid has a bit of conscience this time, and he knows to explain in advance." Li Er also came back to his senses at this time, nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Xiaoyaohou also said that it is better to light this thing at night, and the effect is not very good during the day. Also, he said that if the Empress likes it, he will offer some more when the Empress is over her birthday. "

After listening to Chen Tu's report, His Majesty Li Er snorted: "If you don't have anything to show courteousness, it's either rape or robbery. Tell me, does he have any other requests?"

"Your Majesty, Xiaoyaohou said, if Your Majesty thinks this item is good, I hope you can give me some food. He said that the tenants under his rule will soon be unable to survive." Chen Tu conveyed Li Muyun's request in every detail.

But in his opinion, this request doesn't seem too much, and Li Shimin should be able to agree.

Sure enough, the facts proved that his guess was right, and after hearing Li Shimin hum, he said lightly: "There is no problem with this. If the queen really likes this thing, it's nothing to reward him with some food."

"Here!" Chen Tu agreed, and after waiting for a while, seeing that Li Er and the eldest grandson had nothing to say, he retreated.

And Li Er also felt that since Li Muyun emphasized that this thing is only interesting to watch at night, he ordered someone to take it down and put it in the Wude Hall not far from the Liangyi Hall.

I think that Wude Hall was actually Li Yuanji's residence at the beginning, but after the change of Xuanwu Gate, it became vacant. After a long time, Li Er felt that it was not a problem that it was always vacant, so he temporarily regarded it as his own. storehouse.

But Li Er didn't know that it was precisely because of his decision that a disaster that should not have happened was caused.

……

That night, in the Hall of Wude.

A civet cat dexterously climbed onto the candlestick in the corner of the hall, its eyes gleaming coldly staring at a gray mouse looking around on the ground.

In a moment, at the moment when the mouse turned its head to look to the other side, the civet cat jumped off the candlestick...  

The civet cat's movements were as fast as lightning, but it didn't notice that when it jumped out, the candle that was burning on the candlestick was shaken by it, and then fell down with its head upside down. The one placed under the candlestick was the second kicker that Li Muyun sent into the palace!
