Chapter 69: Borrowing a Donkey on the Slope
The rhythm of Wei Qing's words became faster and faster, and his expression became more and more excited, and he couldn't wait to immediately lead the Han cavalry to gallop on the northern grassland to share the victory with the Huns.
"Tell me why you have become so skilled in riding in such a short period of time, this horse is not a good horse."
Liu Che's vision has long been raised, and the worst horse in his stable is much better than Wei Qing's.
"Back to Your Majesty, this horse is already a good horse in the army, and the reason for the great increase in the minister's riding skills is not on the horse, but on the stirrups."
Wei Qing replied truthfully, as soon as he said this, hundreds of officials in the hall looked at the stirrups of the war horse with their necks in unison.
Ji Di walked out at that time, walked around the war horse a few times, and finally took off the stirrup and looked at it a few times.
"Your Majesty, Jianzhang Jian Wei Qing is a bully, there is nothing special about this stirrup.
If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can take it and see it, or you can ask the palace sergeant to compare the stirrups on the rest of the horses. ”
The words are not shocking, and Ji Di is relying on this ability to mix, and no one in the court is good friends with him.
Now that Ji Di is taking the lead, those officials who are unhappy with Wei Qing did not say that they came out to say that they were not the ones who came out to talk about Wei Qing together.
There are still too many people offended by Ji Di, and in comparison, Wei Qing is much more humble.
Liu Che nodded, and Wang then went down to take the stirrup in Ji Di's hand and handed it to Liu Che.
Liu Che is a horse lover, and he can naturally see the difference between stirrups at a glance.
Soon his expression became a little wrong, and his brow began to furrow.
It's not that Wei Qing doesn't want to explain, he just knows that after a person's emotions have a gap, he will pay more attention to this thing.
Besides, with so many ministers present and such an emperor, who would admit that their intelligence is not enough, and they can't even see through such a small thing.
"Wei Qing, you are so bold, what the lord and captain said is good, do you know that this is a bully?"
Even if Liu Che was angry, he wanted to give Wei Qing a chance to explain, but others were afraid that they would be dragged down if they couldn't see this opportunity to explain.
Wei Qing smiled indifferently, walked to the side of the war horse, and took off the stirrup, the more he behaved, the more he gave others an unfathomable feeling.
With so many officials present, they all felt that they had seen a fake Wei Qing today, and their personalities had completely changed after a few days.
"Your Majesty, there is also a stirrup here, how can you say that the minister is bullying the king if you haven't seen it."
Ji Di stepped forward, picked up the stirrup in Wei Qing's hand and looked at it again, and found that it was no different from the previous one, and he was about to have another attack on the spot.
"Wei Qing, you dare to rely on Your Majesty's grace to play with Your Majesty like this, do you know what kind of sin this is?
Aren't you worried about implicating the nobles in the palace and your brothers and sisters? ”
Wei Qing used to be respectful to Ji Di, and took Ji Di as a person, and also felt that it was a good thing for Liu Che to have such a wise and outspoken person in the court.
Now at this time, it seems that Ji Di is really stupid, such a character Liu Che can tolerate it, but he can't tolerate his brother.
Liu Che didn't speak, but quietly waited for Wei Qing's explanation.
Tian Wei also chose to watch from the wall at this moment, not that he could tolerate Wei Qing, but he was not happy to look at Ji Di.
And Tian Wei knew that the relationship between Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan was not simple, and it was very likely that Zhang Yuan's head was buried in it, so it was better not to touch his head.
"Returning to His Royal Highness, the minister did not deceive the king, and what the lord and the captain said was obviously splashing the minister's dirty water.
This stirrup is indeed no different from other stirrups, but Your Majesty, think about it, how many stirrups are there for other war horses?
If you think about it, you will know that the minister is not playing with you, the lord and the captain have been slandering the minister, and the minister does not know what his intentions are. ”
Ji Huang gave away his head like this, of course Wei Qing would not let go of such an opportunity, and then Ji Di's name will make today's court meeting widely spread among the nobles, and it will be much easier to promote bilateral stirrups in the army in the future.
This thing is something that Ji Di opposes, since Ji Huang is annoying, then what he doesn't like, others will naturally vigorously promote it, so that Ji Huang feels uncomfortable in his heart, and every time Ji Huang sees the stirrups on the war horse in the future, it will be like revealing his scars.
Liu Che thought about it briefly and immediately figured it out, and some of the generals in the palace figured it out, but none of Wenchen figured out the key.
"Wei Qing, you were on the war horse just now, and you hooked the two stirrups with your two feet, and then your feet were like the ground, and you could use the force.
So even if you volley in the air, or the whole person falls to one side, as long as the war horse does not fall, you can use the force to drag yourself back on the horse? ”
Liu Che directly pointed out the key point, and the ministers present more or less understood, and Ji Di also figured it out, and his face turned white when he brushed it.
Without waiting for Wei Qing to confirm what he had just said to Liu Che, Ji Di immediately threw himself on the ground.
"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty."
Liu Che frowned, he didn't want to see this Ji Di now.
"What are you guilty of, Lord Lieutenant? Everything you think in your heart is for me, and I can understand it.
I just wronged Wei Qing, and I think Wei Qing can forgive you if you come here, but remember not to talk about the people in my palace in the future. ”
Ji Di mentioned Wei Zifu just now, either intentionally or unintentionally, which made Liu Che very dissatisfied.
Even if Wei Qing is guilty, whether he is implicated or not, it is he Liu Che who has the final say, and he doesn't care about what you do.
"The minister is guilty, and he will never talk about the nobles in the palace again in the future."
This is the first time that Ji Di has bowed his head in front of Liu Che, showing such a low profile in front of so many officials, but there is no way to do it.
Now the Han Dynasty is like an ocean, everyone else is a drop of water, Liu Che is a giant ship, but Ji Di doesn't want to be a drop of water, just wants to be a piece of driftwood.
"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't blame the lord and the captain, it's better to talk about this stirrup today.
Your Majesty, the reason why the Hun cavalry has been crushing our Han cavalry is that they have many cavalry, and there are wild horses in the grassland to supply the Huns.
My great man has been losing his horses, and now he has horseshoes to curb the loss of horses, and he has bilateral stirrups to improve the cavalry's riding skills.
The quantity and quality of the Han cavalry have been greatly improved, do we still need to be afraid of those Huns whose tactical combat power is no different from a hundred years ago? ”
What Wei Qing said made Liu Che very satisfied, at least according to the situation he imagined in his heart.
