Abandoned Wife and Marry Only: Daughter of Houmen

Chapter 491

Princess Anning's words immediately made the field even more dead silent, the cup in the Queen's hand almost fell from his hand, and Emperor Xiankang stared at Princess Duanning with anger.

That Princess An Ning seemed ignorant, but Hui An raised her lips.Guan Yuanhe's study would send some letters every five days, which covered the major events that happened every day in the mansions of officials above the second rank of Dahui, from the small enough that the adult took another concubine. Unhappy things and people happened, such as which empress in the palace was rewarded by the emperor, etc. Hui'an looked at these things interestingly, and occasionally flipped through them. Naturally, she also knew that the birth mother of Princess Anning, Wang Jieyu, was going to die soon. She was previously blamed by Queen Cui for colliding with the queen.

Princess Anning is avenging her mother this time!
There was a moment of silence on the field, everyone's eyes fell on the side of the female relatives, sweeping back and forth between Huian and Princess Duanning, Emperor Xiankang remained silent for a while with a sullen face, and waved to Princess Anning again after a while, Princess Anning He hurriedly got up and went to the main viewing platform, and leaned next to Emperor Xiankang.

"Does Xing'er feel that your imperial sister is right? Does Xing'er also think those horse doctors are low?"

Princess Anning thought for a while after hearing the words, and then smiled and said: "Xing'er doesn't know, but Xing'er thinks that if there is no horse doctor who tastes the horse manure hard, the horse will not be able to be cured well if it is sick. Isn’t it about to die? The little rabbit sent by the emperor to Xing’er was sick and was healed by Master Niu Jianzheng of Taipu Temple. Xing’er thanked him, he is a good person! Xing’er also knew that if the horse got sick, no one would heal him , the horse is about to die, mother and concubine said that Dahui is the most short of horses, and my father is anxious about horses day and night, if there are many, many horses, I Dahui will be able to win the battle, so Xing'er thought, if there are many, many horses If the horse doctor can save a lot of horses, my father will be less worried, if the horse doctor can make my father happy, Xing'er will feel that they are good people!"

Emperor Xiankang laughed unknowingly when he heard the words, but the queen's complexion turned ugly. Princess An Ning giggled when she saw Emperor Xiankang smile, but Princess Duanning was sweating on her forehead and didn't dare to vent her anger.

Emperor Xiankang laughed for a while, then looked at Hui An, and asked, "The horse doctor is low? What does Madam Dongtinghou think?"

Hui An raised her head when she heard this, and said calmly with a smile on her face: "Can the emperor allow his wife to ask Princess Duanning a few questions?"

Hearing what she said, Emperor Xiankang raised his eyebrows and said, "Quite!"

Then Hui An blessed his body, looked at Princess Duanning, and asked: "Princess, do you know how many cavalry I have in Dahui? And how many cavalry do Beihu have?"

Princess Duanning's face turned ugly when she heard the words, and said: "These are issues that the court ministers are concerned about, how could this palace know."

But Hui An nodded and smiled, and said: "Princess doesn't know, then I will tell the princess that I, Dahui, only have [-] cavalry, but the number of cavalry in Beihu is more than four times that of my Dahui."

After she finished speaking, Princess Duanning snorted coldly: "So what!"

Hui'an shook his head and smiled, and said: "Princess must also know that infantry and cavalry are like hitting a stone with an egg. My Dahui has a vast territory, and the population is twenty times that of Beihu, but the number of cavalry is far less than that of Beihu. With the grasslands, there are plenty of war horses, but I, Dahui, have a shortage of war horses, and every horse is precious. Just imagine, if I, Dahui, can also have the same number of war horses, and can form a large number of cavalry, why not worry about it? Is the North Hu not broken?"

After she finished speaking, seeing everyone's gazes on her, she asked again: "Princess, do you know how many war horses I, Dahui, lose because of illnesses and injuries every year?"

Princess Duanning would never know this question, Hui An asked without waiting for her to open her mouth, and said: "Princess doesn't know, but my wife has heard about it, my Dahui loses as many as [-] war horses every year for some reason. Among them, apart from the horses lost on the battlefield, tens of thousands of horses were abandoned and died due to various diseases and battle injuries.”

After she finished speaking, her voice paused, and she asked again: "Does the princess know how much silver it costs to raise a war horse?"

Princess Duanning's complexion changed drastically after being asked several times by her, and she could only stare at Hui'an with a pair of sinister eyes. How could Hui'an be afraid of her, still smiling lightly, and said: "The princess may not know, my wife But it is clear. It takes at least two years to raise a war horse from its birth to its entry into the battlefield. In these two years, it will cost at least a dozen taels of silver to raise the court. And the service age of a war horse should be between three and 20 years old. Wait, at least it can be used for twelve or three years. However, my Dahui horses are extremely worn out, and the age of the horses is less than five years!"

Hui An paused again as he spoke, his eyes seemed to look around the audience intentionally or unintentionally, and then he stared sharply at Princess Duanning again, and said again: "A war horse consumes tens of taels of silver, and nearly ten thousand war horses die due to injuries. Loss, how much money will the court spend in vain, I am afraid that Her Royal Highness can figure it out clearly without the minister's wife talking too much? This is only the cost of raising war horses. If you buy war horses from outside, one horse will cost at least 30 taels Yinzi, this war horse has just been bought and put into the battlefield, but it is abandoned due to injury, or dies due to illness. This will bring a great burden to the court. Let alone the courtiers, the princess Bingxue is smart, can I think of it? Dahui's war horses can reduce casualties, save these unnecessary money, and how much tax I will be able to exempt the people from, the princess will be able to figure it out."

After Hui An finished speaking, he looked at Emperor Xiankang again, and said: "If there are good horse doctors, if all horse doctors can uphold the spirit of treating patients by tasting horse dung, I think my wife can save a lot of expenses for the court. I will definitely add more cavalry for my great glory. With a strong cavalry, why not worry about the Beihu? The emperor and his wife admire the horse doctor who tasted horse dung to treat horse diseases. Although the wife is a woman, the emperor values ​​it I also wish to do my best to cultivate more excellent war horses for the imperial court, and do my best to heal sick horses."

As Hui An spoke, she bowed respectfully, and there was no sound at all on the court, and everyone's eyes were focused on her elegant figure.

Seeing Hui An respectfully bowing down to Emperor Xiankang solemnly and dignifiedly, it seemed that the wind on the racecourse had stopped for a while, and everyone's expressions and eyes were different, but their hearts were slightly moved by her words.
