Chapter Eighty-Five: Little Things
In the capital, a heavy snowfall at the end of the first month brings the joy of Ruixue Mega Year.
In the early morning, the snow on the street had been cleared by the manpower of the Yamen organization, and it was even cleaner in front of the imperial city.
In the main hall, Yushi was already standing in front of his seat, and the courtiers were all standing still, but the emperor still did not appear.
Someone over there couldn't help but talk in a low voice, and the corner of the hall immediately sounded the scolding of the imperial history.
After waiting for a while, I finally heard the music singing, accompanied by the attendants and eunuchs, the emperor also came out, the ministers knelt down, and this month's court meeting began.
Chen Shao looked in the queue and frowned slightly, the emperor's description was even thinner, and he used to be able to cheer up and participate in the court meeting, but recently it seems that he is even lazy to pretend to be energetic.
The court meeting quickly dispersed, and the ministers of the two systems, including the Prime Minister and the three envoys, were summoned into the council.
When they came, a big eunuch was talking to the emperor, and there was a faint cry from the emperor with a little annoyance.
"....The two princes are wandering outside, what kind of system."
"Your Highness said that you want to look for a good doctor again..."
Although there are only these two sentences, but listening to the three words of His Royal Highness, Doctor, and outside, Chen Shao and other ministers immediately understood in their hearts that this was the king of Jin'an who took King Qing out to seek medical treatment.
I heard that I didn't come back for the New Year, and it seems that I won't be able to come back for a while and a half.
The door was pushed open, everyone was busy with their expressions, the chamberlain bowed down to make an invitation, the emperor sat on the throne and his expression had returned to calm, and he could not see his joy or anger, and the adults began to report on the affairs of the court. Because it involves the Northwest military. The atmosphere in the hall soon became unpleasant.
“… Zhong Chengbu was crazy. Relying on his family background and discord with the lieutenant generals, he should indeed be transferred. ”
“…… Lord Guo, this Jiang Wenyuan's words alone should not be believed, but the envoy of Zhou praised Zhong Chengbu for his sharp and prosperous position, and he has already made military achievements in the past few months when he was transferred to the northwest. ”
The battle between the generals on the Northwest Road continued, and the emperor reached out and pressed his forehead.
"We'll talk about that later." He interrupted their argument and looked at them. "Next."
The three ministers made the financial officials stand up.
"....Feng Lin reported the supervision of the Taicang Road Transfer Division...."
Listening to the number of people who were short and greedy for ink, the emperor's brow furrowed even deeper.
"Investigate, investigate, investigate, all of them, let the Yushitai, the Trial Academy, and the Dali Temple all go, all go, and no one is allowed to be spared." He shouted.
This case is going to be dealt with bigger.
Chen Shao and others naturally have no opinion on this point. And those who have opinions will not pick up the emperor at this time, and the hall is silent except for the response.
Nothing is satisfactory. The Emperor exhaled and swept his gaze over the important ministers in the palace.
"What else?" He asked, a little depressed.
Before the palace could reply, an attendant walked in and asked Gao Tong to see him, in view of his official position and the fact that he had not yet obtained the title of Zhizhi Xuan, Gao Daren did not have the qualifications to discuss matters without waiting for summons like Chen Shao and others.
If it is left at another time, Gao Tongshi can only wait, but at this time, the emperor feels a little bored, so he lets it come in, maybe there will be some less depressing news.
When the voice of the chamberlain came out, one of the chamberlain was whispering to Gao Tongshi.
“… That's it," the chamberlain whispered, taking a few steps back, "Your Excellency considers. ”
Gao Tongshi nodded, looked at the fold in his hand, and hesitated to put it away, now at this time, I am afraid that it is inappropriate to talk about this matter, so what should I say to make Your Majesty happy?
The key is that there is really no joy in the recent big things....big things don't happen, small things....
The tall man frowned as he walked, and he looked overjoyed at the thought of something.
Yes, there is really a happy event in small things, and at this time, Your Majesty can not care about any big or small things, as long as it is a good thing.
He took a deep breath and put on a look of joy.
"Your Majesty... Good news..."
This voice sounded in the main hall, making Chen Shao and the others frown, but the emperor on the dragon chair looked relaxed.
"....Good news for the herds."
When Gao Tongshi said this, everyone present laughed a little.
"Has the herd priest's horse manure been sold for a lot of money this year?" Someone whispered to Chen Shao, with a little ridicule.
Chen Shao didn't speak, he didn't pay attention to what Gao Tongshi said, but noticed that the emperor actually let Gao Tongshi come in to discuss the matter, in other words, he would not let him in before, at most after they finished discussing the court.
It seems that Qualcomm will soon be able to seal the knowledge system as he wishes.
This is not a good thing, this kind of relatives should be released, and letting them stay in the capital is already the beginning of the disaster, and they must be able to participate in the court affairs in the name of Shun, is Your Majesty going to be confused now?
Chen Shao pulled his face, and Gao Tongshi's words came into his ears intermittently.
“…… The losses of military horses in the northwest have decreased somewhat..."
Charger? Chen Shao was immediately clever.
A few?
"What a joy this is." The Emperor shook his head and said, but his expression was still a little more relaxed.
"Your Majesty, although some are insignificant, but this shows that the new method they adopted has been verified, the original pastoral supervisor can only supply three hundred war horses a year, because the supply is too large when the supply exceeds demand, if the loss is really reduced, then the number of our war horse supply remains the same, but the total number is equivalent to an increase, Your Majesty, our cavalry in the northwest can also be increased..."
Cavalry!
For the army, cavalry has always been the heart of the generals, why is this so, because they can fight but rare, and rare things are expensive, and this is no exception.
Why are the cavalry of the Western Thieves powerful, because they have horses, and one cavalry can match three horses, while one of them can only have one horse, if there are enough horses, what else can the Western Thieves be proud of!
Found a way to avoid excessive attrition of military horses! This is indeed a great joy,
The emperor sat up straight, and Chen Shao and the others also straightened their expressions.
"What's this thing called?" The Emperor asked.
Qualcomm stumbled.
"It's also a random idea, there is no serious name, the herd priest asks His Majesty to give the name." He laughed.
As soon as these words came out, the hearts of those present were all groaning.
Nothing has a serious name. You don't even remember. Suddenly everyone understood in their hearts. This Gao Tongshi was definitely not going to talk about this matter, because Tong Bing later learned that the emperor was in a bad mood, so he temporarily changed what he wanted to say, and he may have heard others mention this matter, but he didn't take it seriously.
"Since it is a horse's hooves with iron, let's call it a horseshoe." The Emperor laughed.
Because of this little matter of the horse's hooves, the council ended in pleasure, looking at the triumphant Gao Tong who was surrounded by several officials. Chen Shao stopped the three envoys.
"How come you three divisions don't know about the affairs of the herd division? Let this villain take the lead. He said with a heavy face.
Who would have thought that the herd division could do anything else besides selling horse manure, the third secretary said in his heart.
"I'll check it out." He said.
It's not too late to know now, and let Gao Tong take the lead, so he can't take any other credit.
The horseshoes given by the emperor have not yet spread in the court, and the horseshoe in the northwest has become familiar to everyone.
The castle damaged by the war of Ryugu Castle has been almost restored, and the decorations made for the New Year have not been removed, and it looks very happy in the desolate winter.
The narrow streets of the city galloped with people and horses, and the dust was flying, and the crisp sound of horseshoe palms echoed in the streets. attracted passers-by to look over, and they couldn't help but be startled when they saw a few human heads hanging on the horses.
The men and horses entered a fort and did not slow down. Let the horses in the huge wooden fence here stir up.
"Fourth brother, fourth brother!"
A rough voice sounded.
A man in the stable, who was busy with several veterinarians, stood up and smiled and shook his head when he saw the man coming from the horse.
"Be quiet, don't startle the horse." He said
"This war horse is easily frightened, so you don't need to be carefully served by the fourth brother here, and send it directly to be a pack." Xu Bang laughed and beckoned, "Fourth brother, fourth brother, come here." ”
Xu Sigen reluctantly got up and walked out of it.
"What are you doing again?" He asked.
Xu Bang mallet triumphantly did not get off the horse, but urged the horse to turn around a few times, so that Xu Sigen could see the head of the horse clearly.
How could Xu Sigen not see such a hideous head hanging on the horse, he couldn't help but shake his head.
"You kid, how many more this time?" He asked.
Xu Bangmao smiled and stretched out his big hand.
"Ten!" He laughed.
"Okay, this time there are a lot of rewards." Xu Sigen said with a smile.
To be mixed in the army is to rely on military exploits, and with military merits, cloth clothes can become officials, small colonels can be promoted, and soldiers can be reluctant.
"Our courage has been restored." Xu Bang said proudly.
While they were talking, a group of people hurried up.
"Xu Sigen!" The man at the head shouted.
The voice was extremely unkind, Xu Bangmao frowned, and Xu Sigen hurriedly took it.
"Song Dianzhi," he said.
Before the words fell, Song Dianzhi smashed the object in his hand hard.
The military general is tall and muscular, even in winter, he can't hide his majesty, this fierce hand smashed something into Xu Sigen's arm, and Xu Sigen, who was caught off guard, covered his arm and fell to the ground with a snort, but he couldn't get up.
The smashed thing rolled to the side, and it turned out to be a horseshoe.
"Boy!" Xu Bangmao was startled and angry, jumped off the horse and rushed over.
The people around the general were not to be outdone, and immediately protected and reprimanded each other.
"What? Do you want to commit the following crimes. ”
It is a great sin to commit a crime in the army.
Xu Sigen struggled to hold Xu Bang's mallet's leg to stop him from rushing over.
"Why are you beating people! Why do you hit someone! Xu Bangmao shouted, his red eyes almost eating people.
The general ignored him and looked at Xu Sigen, who was lying on the ground, and sneered.
"Is it your credit to be strong?" He said, "How dare you say that." ”
Xu Sigen shook his head.
"Dianzhi, the little one has never said that." He said.
The general snorted.
"Isn't it just to put a horseshoe on the horse, and the credit for our hard work will be yours!" He roared, stretched out his hand and pointed at Xu Sigen, "There was no such thing before, our Han family men defeated the Huns, what is it that the horse stepped on Qilian Mountain?" Is it bullshit? Without you, are the heroes of your ancestors gone? ”
