Wentang

Chapter 10

While Yue Shan was cultivating his relationship with his younger sister, something closely related to him was happening in the Prince Qin's Mansion in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Emperor.

"How can it be reasonable? How can it be reasonable? The crown prince secretly recruited two thousand armored soldiers and passed away like this? You can't ignore it, my lord. The two thousand Changlin soldiers are not far from the Tiance Mansion. If they are uneasy and kind, we will You can only stretch your neck and let others kill you." A strong man with a black face and beard who was seven feet tall shouted.

"Yeah, we have to respond to the king's matter." Another strong man with the same black face followed suit.

Although the people around did not speak, the expressions on their faces told everyone that they thought the same.

If someone comes over, they will find that this room is full of future great gods.Needless to say, everyone is familiar with the two black-faced generals, they are Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong, the two door gods.

Along with them are Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Yuwen Shiji, Qin Qiong, etc., who are all confidantes of the Qin Palace, and are also the core officials of Emperor Taizong's governance of the world in the future.

At this time, the people didn't have the spirit of being an important minister in the world, one or two were a little downcast because of Prince Li Jiancheng's pressing every step of the way.

Li Shimin, who sat at the top, was calm on the surface, but in fact he was very mournful deep down.His brother's step by step approaching his father's direction made him feel anxious.But he can't show it. If he, the leader, panics, it will be even more difficult for others to deal with themselves.

"The prince has his own reasons for doing this. You don't need to think too much." Li Shimin calmed down in a gentle voice, and then changed the subject: "Father is getting older and sleeps up and down to deal with state affairs. It is inevitable that there will be omissions. We These courtiers will fill in the gaps for him."

"Today I passed Xuanwu Gate and found that the guards there were not well trained. How can I entrust the safety of the imperial city to them?"

"Your Majesty is very worried. Someone thinks that a loyal and prudent general should be promoted to this important position." Fang Xuanling echoed with a calm expression.

"If this person is recommended by the king, it will inevitably lead to opposition from the crown prince and the king of Qi. I secretly think that this person should be selected from the generals of the crown prince's line." Du Ruhui immediately added from the side.

"Leave this matter to me, and the king will not be disappointed." Changsun Wuji volunteered.

Li Shimin nodded slightly, indicating that the matter had been decided in this way.

Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, Qin Qiong and others looked at each other, unable to understand what these people were talking about.Just now we talked about the Prince's private establishment of Changlin Bing, but in a blink of an eye, we talked about the guard of Xuanwu Gate.

If you change the guard, you can change it. If you don't change your own people, you will push the prince... A few people immediately shut their mouths and pretended they didn't hear anything.

Although they don't understand what these old foxes want to do, past experience tells them that these people must have no good ideas.Since you don't understand, it's best to pretend you don't know anything.

Only Yuwen Shi and a few people seemed to have thought of something, showing thoughtful expressions.

At this moment, an eunuch asked for an audience, saying that the iron hoof of the horse had been built, and asked the king of Qin to take a look.

Hearing the news, Li Shimin was overjoyed, stood up abruptly and said, "Recently I got a fetish, and it has just been built, are you interested in watching it with me?"

The big boss has already spoken, and the subordinates will naturally not be ignorant.Besides, they were also very curious about what kind of thing could be called a fetish by the King of Qin, and they left so many business affairs and ran over to check it out.

Li Shimin brought a group of confidants to the small school yard in the mansion, where several pastors and officials who will be in charge were already waiting for them.

"It's done, the king is done. This horseshoe is really a miracle." An official danced excitedly.

"Oh, show me quickly." Li Shimin cheered up and said impatiently.

The official led Li Shimin and others to a shelf where a tall horse was tied.

"Look, Your Majesty, this is a horseshoe." The official pointed to a horseshoe that was raised and fixed on a shelf.Everyone looked around, and they saw a semicircular iron bar staring at the horse's hoof.

"Nailing iron on the horse's hoof, who came up with such a bad idea, wouldn't it ruin the horse? If anyone in my family dares to do such a stupid thing, I hope I won't beat him to death with a whip." Cheng Yaojin squeezed hard Going to the front, seeing the iron plate on the horse's hoof, he muttered with displeasure.

Li Shimin clenched his fists. If it wasn't for maintaining his image, he would kill this tired slob right now.Changsun Wuji and others ignored him and continued to look at the horseshoe.

The corner of the official's mouth twitched, but it was Cheng Yaojin who was cursing, and he couldn't afford to offend him, so he could only swallow it forcefully.

"My lord, yesterday we were ordered to study overnight, and finally lived up to our high expectations and found a mature method. The size and thickness of the horseshoe, the thickness and length of the nail, and the cleaning of the horseshoe..."

The official was both introducing the situation and showing merit.But listening to his slightly wordy introduction, Li Shimin listened intently without any impatience, and would ask questions again and again when he encountered something he didn't understand.

The officials felt that they were valued, and they introduced them in more detail as if they had been given blood.

Through his introduction, Changsun Wuji and others also understood what the horseshoe was for.One and two eyes seem to have turned into a [-]-watt light bulb, emitting a frightening light.

Anxious Cheng Yaojin stood up again: "Why are you talking so much nonsense, hurry up and pull it out for a run."

He was really in a hurry. As a general, he knew the function of the horseshoe too well.Can't wait to see it in action.

Li Shimin also complied with people's wishes and asked people to let go of the horse, and actually walked around a few times.

"I'll do it." Cheng Yaojin pushed away the official who was testing the horse, and jumped on the horse himself.

Pulling the reins, the horse started to run in small steps on the small school field, "Da da da... da da da..." The clear and crisp sound of horse hoofs sounded different from the past.It sounds like the most beautiful concerto to everyone's ears.

After trotting around, he started to speed up, the horse ran faster and faster, and the sound of hooves became more and more intense.

"Haha...Okay, okay, with this horse...Iron lump, the horse can run more briskly than before." Cheng Yaojin's rough laughter came from the horse's back.

That rampant look made everyone want to beat him.

Yu Chigong's eyes rolled wildly in the crowd, but when he saw the weapons on the weapon rack next to the school field, his eyes lit up.He ran over quickly, grabbed those weapons and threw them on the school field.Long ones and short ones, swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, axes, hooks and forks, you can grab them and throw them over.

The others were shocked when they saw it. Although everyone wanted to smoke this lazy guy, it was just a joke.How come you, a guy whose reputation is not much better than his, is so serious.

Li Shimin's expression also changed drastically, and he was about to step forward and stop him.Instead, it was Qin Qiong, with a look of sudden realization, who said something to Li Shimin with his ear.

Li Shimin frowned first, then suddenly, and finally hesitated before nodding.

With his permission, Qin Qiong shouted loudly: "Yizhen uses horses to step on weapons, be careful and safe."

Yizhen is Cheng Yaojin's word, and it is also what everyone calls him in public.As for Cheng Yaojin and Cheng Zhijie, they are only used in private or in paperwork.

Cheng Yaojin didn't hesitate at all. Hearing Qin Qiong's words, he steered the horse and ran directly towards the weapons.It can be seen that he trusts Qin Qiong.

The sound of "哗啦啦" sounded, and everyone's hearts tightened, staring at Cheng Yaojin.It wasn't until the war horse passed smoothly that everyone let out a sigh of relief.

Then, there was a more enthusiastic applause.

Anyway, Cheng Yaojin is a lazy slob, he thought that if everyone applauded him, it would be a pride.While making the sound of howling ghosts and howling wolves, the horse stepped on the weapon again.

If Li Shimin hadn't called him to stop, he might have gone crazy for some time.

After fixing the horseshoe again, everyone gathered around to have a look, only to see that the horseshoe was covered with scratches, but the horseshoe was not damaged at all.
