I'm so hard

Chapter 155 The Gift of Beimeng

The special envoy of Northern Mongolia this time, named Axig, is a middle-aged man who has studied the culture of the Great Zhou very deeply.

The other party came with a gift, and claimed that Ergu, the commander of the Northern Mongolia Army, missed the Princess of Northern Mongolia, and also had a gift to present to Lu Nianwei, so Zhao Yan naturally wanted to meet him.

However, this person's official rank was average, and it was not worthy for Zhao Yan to receive him in the Daqing Palace, so he chose the Chuigong Palace.

On the side, there were Literary Minister Xiao Jingye, Forbidden Army Commander Shen Tuyi, and Gift Minister Cai You as companions. This kind of specification is already considered good.

"Northern Monte made Ashig pay homage to His Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor!" A tall, thin middle-aged man bowed and saluted.

Zhao Yanxu raised his arm and said, "Excuse me!"

"I heard that your military commander not only has gifts for me, but also for his aunt!" Zhao Yan said with a smile.

Hearing this, the three of Xiao Jingye on the lower side almost couldn't hold back their laughter.

As soon as Zhao Yan opened his mouth, he began to take advantage of Bei Meng.

But the fact is that, according to seniority, Zhao Yan is Ergu's uncle.

Ashig curled his lips helplessly, cupped his hands and said: "My military commander sent a painting to His Majesty, and a good horse for my Princess Beimeng. The good horse is outside the gate of the palace, and Your Majesty can see it for a while." one look."

After finishing speaking, Ashig took out the painting scroll that he had been carrying on his back.

Hearing that another painting was sent, Zhao Yan laughed immediately.

This Ergu is really a wonderful person, if he is not a military commander, maybe he can really form a genre of his own in abstract painting!

Zhao Yan beckoned to Xizi who was beside him, and the latter immediately walked up to Ashig and took the scroll.

Whoa!

The painting scroll unfolded, and a faint fragrance of ink came. Zhao Yan looked down and saw the name on the far right, and couldn't help being happy.

Map of Northern Mongolia.

Inside the painting scroll is a vast land, and the territory that originally belonged to Dazhou, Heihan, Goryeo and other countries is completely within the territory of Northern Mongolia.

And on the land, every country is occupied by a maroon horse, and the word "Northern Mongolia" is also written on the horse.

Standing below, Axig secretly watched Zhao Yan's expression.

He knew exactly what was on the painting.

Even now, Zhao Yan is furious and wants to pull him out and cut him, he will not feel any surprise.

Ergu drew this painting because of his character, and Ashig couldn't stop him, and he was willing to die for Beimeng.

After Zhao Yan saw this painting, he didn't get angry at all, but felt that Ergu was cute.

After the big defeat, he still has this kind of courage to look down on the world, this kind of self-confidence that swallows mountains and rivers, apart from Ergu, he really can't find anyone else in the world.

Zhao Yan looked at Ashig and said with a smile: "Go back and tell my nephew that I like his paintings very much, let him work hard!"

Zhao Yan's tone was like a 20-year-old young man who had just won the first prize in high school, comforting an old man who had just passed the entrance examination at the age of 60, consoling him, if you work hard, you can also be admitted to the scholar.

"Ashig will definitely convey His Majesty's words verbatim." Ashig said with his hands clasped.

After Zhao Yan ordered Xizi to take back the painting, he asked again, "I wonder what gift Beimeng gave Concubine Yun?"

Hearing this, Ashig's eyes suddenly brightened.

"The princess loved fierce horses when she was in Northern Mongolia. Now I have bred a unique warhorse named Polu in Northern Mongolia. This horse has slender limbs, thin skin and fine hair. Its speed and endurance are all higher than my Northern Mongolian warhorses. This horse is Outside the main hall, I wonder if His Majesty will take a look?"

Mentioning this kind of horse, Ashig's expression was full of pride and arrogance.

Obviously, he has enough confidence in this kind of horse.

Zhao Yan stood up from the dragon chair and said: "Concubine Yun lives in the harem, according to my old customs, it is not suitable to receive foreign envoys, let me come and have a look!"

Immediately, Zhao Yan, Xiao Jingye, Cai You, and Shen Tuyi walked out of the hall and came to an open space in front of the side hall.

hiss!
After a while, a horse chant sounded.

A man from Northern Mongolia came galloping on a big maroon horse.

"Your Majesty, can I show you the characteristics of this horse now?" Ashig asked.

Zhao Yan nodded slightly.

Axig immediately waved his hand, and the Northern Mongolian man began to show his equestrian skills.

"What a horse!" Shen Tuyi couldn't help sighing in his heart just as the Polo horse approached.

As the commander of the Forbidden Army, Shen Tuyi's research on horses is far better than many experts.

He could tell at a glance that this horse was different from ordinary people.

Under the control of the Northern Mongolian man, the Paleo horse kept jumping, galloping, and even roaring to the sky, making movements that many war horses could not do.

The Great Zhou Imperial Guards standing guard not far away were all stunned.

Anyone who loves horses will definitely be attracted by this horse. With this horse, the combat effectiveness of ordinary cavalry can be at least doubled.

Ashig said proudly: "This Polo horse was cultivated by my military commander himself. It cannot be raised because it is not in Northern Mongolia. In the next year, we will be able to breed [-] Polo horses in Northern Mongolia!"

When talking about "[-] horses", Ashig deliberately bit the word heavily.

If it was two years ago, the people of Da Zhou would definitely be terrified when they heard this, and they might not have a good time this year.

Facing such cavalry, Da Zhou could only keep safe by handing in old coins.

But now, it's completely different.

No matter how strong your horse is, no matter how fast it is, can it be as powerful as a firearm?
At this time, Zhao Yan and others also understood the reason why Beimeng sent envoys.

show off!

Ergu is here to show off his horse!
Ashig waited for the surprised and fearful expressions of the princes and ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty to appear.

But after waiting for a long time, he observed Zhao Yan and Shen Tuyi, who must know horses, and found that there were only two words to describe their expressions: That's it?

At this moment, what Zhao Yan and Shen Tuyi were thinking about was whether it would be too cruel to kill such a good horse with a firearm at once.

Zhao Yan was silent for a moment, then said to Ashig: "This gift is not bad, Concubine Yun should like it, if you can cultivate tens of thousands of such horses in Beimeng, if you fight again, you should not lose So miserable!"

The implication is that no matter how strong your horse is, it is still a loser.

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yan turned his face and left, and the courtiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty also left, without even looking back.

Cai You, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, didn't know much about horses, but he knew how to read words and expressions. Seeing that Zhao Yan's reaction was average, he looked down on this gift. He wondered in his heart whether he could just find a few pieces of porcelain or tea to prevaricate when he returned the gift.

After thinking about it, he patted Ashig on the shoulder and said, "Special Envoy Ashig, you Beimeng are not very generous!"

After all, he left too.

Ashig looked depressed, it was completely different from what he had imagined!

Where did Da Zhou get his courage? He is not even afraid of such a good horse.
