Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Harness and the Heavenly Machine
Chang'an, Qingong Horse Farm
"Father, why is my horse so small, and my sons also want to ride a high-headed horse." Hu Hai touched his fruit and dismounted.
Qin Zheng smiled and said: "Adults naturally ride big horses, Hu Hai is a child, of course he wants to ride a small horse." ”
Hu Hai pouted after hearing this, obviously dissatisfied with this answer, and then his eyes rolled: "Erchen heard that children on the grassland can ride sheep at the age of five or six, ride horses at the age of ten, and can go into battle to kill the enemy at the age of fifteen.
Hu Hai is the son of his father, and he is noble, how can he not even be as good as a child herding sheep on the grassland? Isn't this a detriment to the prestige of the Father? ”
Qin Zheng was angry and funny when he heard it, obviously he was afraid that the horse would be disobedient, and the docile pony he gave him now thinks that the horse is too small and not majestic, and it is really a child.
Qin Zheng pulled his own BMW and said to Hu Hai: "Since you want to ride your father, I won't stop you, but if you can get on the horse yourself, I will allow you a BMW like this."
If you can't get up, then you can only ride this fruit to get off the horse, when can you get on it yourself, and you can only pick a good horse in general, how about it? ”
Hu Hai was worried when he heard it, this BMW was made in the Hexi region of the horse king, it was paid tribute by the monarch of Di Dao back then, the shoulder height is 140 centimeters, his current height is not so tall, how to get up?
Qin Zheng looked at Hu Hai's helpless appearance of scratching his ears and cheeks, and secretly laughed in his heart, and then waved his hand at Zheng Lingyi, only to see that the latter understood and turned around to get something important from Qin Zheng.
"Bang-" Zheng Ling put things on the ground, startling Hu Hai, who was still distressed next to him.
Hu Hai walked in, looked at the pile of strange things, and asked curiously, "What is this, father?" ”
Qin Zheng proudly picked up one of the semi-circular hollow items and said: "This is a horse shoe, the high saddle on the ground, and the rope that holds them in place, and the last four are horse shoes, these are all equipment designed for horses." ”
After hearing this, Hu Hai became even more curious, and hurriedly asked, "What do they do?" ”
Qin Zheng continued to explain: "The horse pedal can be stepped on, so that the horse does not have to be clamped the horse's belly all the time to pull the reins, which is more stable and can attack with free hands."
A high saddle is also a type of saddle, but compared to a low saddle made of leather fabric, a high saddle is more stable and does not stain the clothes.
Finally, there is the horseshoe, that is, the horseshoe, which is equivalent to the horse's boots, and nailing it to the horse's foot to drive can reduce wear and tear, and it will naturally run more stable. ”
"Father said so much, didn't he just want to say that it was all used to stabilize horses?" Hu Hai grabbed the point and rushed to complain.
Qin Zheng listened to it, and the child was indeed right, although these things have different uses, the most important thing is that the shock absorption is stable, and Hu Hai can see it more thoroughly than him.
Qin Zheng waved his hand directly, and Zheng Ling and several internal officials stepped forward to load a few items on the horse except for the horseshoe.
It may be the first time that the horse has been served by so many people, and there are so many things on it, and it is a little uncomfortable for a while, Qin Zheng was afraid that it would hurt Hu Hai, so he rushed forward to appease it.
Finally, with the full cooperation of Qin Zheng, Zheng Ling and others, Ma Er temporarily accepted these "decorations" and began to wait for the movement as usual.
However, Qin Zheng did not immediately get on the horse, but said to Hu Hai: "You still want to ride a big horse?" ”
Hu Hai hesitated, but nodded honestly.
Qin Zheng stepped forward with a smile, picked up Hu Hai, and placed him in front of the saddle, while he supported him with one hand, grabbed the reins with the other, stepped on the horse's pedals, turned over and got on the horse.
Hu Hai hadn't reacted yet, and asked a little nervously: "Father, what are you ......?"
Qin Zheng looked at Hu Hai dotingly and explained, "Hahaha, aren't you going to ride a big horse?" Father is with you, and with your father's protection, you will be safe. ”
Hu Hai raised his head backwards, looked at his father's beard, turned around and sat forward again, and responded with a happy crisp voice: "Hmm! ”
Qin Zheng's heart was also warm when he listened to his son's answer, how much he longed for this kind of warmth in his previous life, and how happy he is now.
"Sit tight! Father is about to begin! Qin Zheng clenched the reins and reminded.
It's just that before Hu Hai could respond, Zheng Ling next to him suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, the time has come, and Zhang Yushi's class is about to start......"
When Qin Zheng and Hu Hai heard this, their faces changed greatly, and they couldn't wait to immediately urge the horse to pedal Zheng Ling, they hadn't been riding for so long, and it was over?
"Father, if I don't go, I can't do it!" Hu Hai's little face frowned, and his eyebrows drooped.
At that time, Qin Zheng wanted to say, don't talk about you, my father doesn't want to go, but as a father and a monarch, he really can't say this......
When Qin Zheng was hesitating, Zheng Ling reminded stubbornly: "Your Majesty, the law you have made yourself, the list you wrote, and the people on the list must go to the side hall to study when they have no important official duties, and the offender will be 30 rods!" ”
Qin Zheng then remembered that Zhang Cang asked him for management punishment yesterday, and he set the punishment at 30 sticks in line with the idea of promoting the development of ideology and building Great Qin......
Qin Zheng sighed helplessly, and said to Hu Hai: "Wang'er, if you don't listen to the class, you will be stupider than others, let's go to the class, and then ride back after listening, okay?" ”
"Alas..."Hu Hai also sighed as Qin Zheng learned: "It can only be like this, but my father promised his sons to make a set of saddles for Guoxia's horse or something." ”
Qin Zheng touched Hu Hai's head and promised, "Okay, we'll do it when we come back." ”
"Uh-huh!" Hu Hai also nodded heavily.
Then the two reluctantly got off the horse, changed their clothes and went out of the side hall......
In the side hall, Zhang Cang's class has been in class for a while, and he mainly teaches officials and children through some storytelling books (Ming villain books).
These books are mainly paintings, but there are not many words, so it is not difficult for Zhang Cang to teach, of course, for young and curious children, and their parents and even grandparents have long been angry......
At this time, a small figure tried to sneak away from behind to a desk where no one was around, but Zhang Cang, who was reading with his eyes closed, still spotted him at once.
Zhang Cang deliberately shouted loudly: "Minister, Zhang Cang in the imperial history greets Prince Huhai!" ”
It didn't matter what his voice was, the dozing ministers were startled, quickly wiped their saliva, pretended to be focused, and shouted loudly:
"The Huns, the ...... of the Grassland Bow Clan"
Hu Hai's face was embarrassed and red, and he was a little at a loss, at this time Qin Zheng immediately entered the house, and everyone saw Qin Zheng coming, so they naturally got up one after another: "Meet Your Majesty, Your Majesty for ten thousand years!" ”
Qin Zheng hurriedly raised his hand and said, "No courtesy, all the Qing family have worked hard." ”
"It's not hard." "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern."
"Serve Your Majesty, serve Great Qin."
Everyone responded that Hu Hai's late arrival was selectively ignored.
Zhang Cang stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, today's minister is teaching the rise of the Xiongnu, but everyone is mainly learning words." ”
Qin Zheng didn't know how to weave, and he could understand traditional characters, so he just nodded slightly:
"Zhang Yushi continued, I also listened, I am also curious, this book belongs to the previous dynasty?"
Zhang Cang responded with some hesitation: "The picture book is the romance of the former Ming Dynasty, but the story is happening before and after the unification of my Great Qin. ”
Qin Zheng understood as soon as he heard it, Zhang Cang had seen the records of later generations about the late Qin and early Han dynasties, and he told this story today just to take the opportunity to ask Qin Zheng what to do with such records.
You must know that in these records, Zhao Gaoli Si helped Hu Hai usurp the throne, killed Su Mengtian, and finally finished playing Daqin, which is a heavenly opportunity for them!
As soon as Qin Zheng's face changed, Zhang Cang hurriedly added: "The story is mainly about the experience of the Xiongnu who seized the throne and defeated Donghu and went south to besiege the monarch of a country in the Central Plains. ”
Qin Zheng was silent for a while, and said with a serious face: "Next time, I will add a horse harness use class to match the story of the rise of the Xiongnu." Come over tonight, I'll teach you first! ”
Zhang Cang shook his fat when he heard this, and the cold sweat on his forehead was about to flow down, so he quickly agreed: "Hey! ”
