Chapter 35 The Monarch and the Ministers Play the Right Match
The next day, after Qin Qiong came back from the early dynasty, he found Qin Huaidao waiting for him in the study. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info was about to have a good chat with Qin Huaidao, but who knew that Qin Huaidao didn't say anything, and directly pulled Qin Qiong outside, and said to Qin Qiong as he walked: "Father, take me to see the emperor!" ”
Qin Qiong saw Qin Huaidao hurriedly pulling herself out in such a hurry, and hurriedly asked, "What?" Horses do you have a solution? ”
"Don't ask, father, the child will surprise you." Qin Huaidao said mysteriously.
"Your Majesty, Duke Yiguo and his son Qin Huaidao are out asking to see you!" Li Shimin and Wei Zheng were arguing about something in the Taiji Hall, but it seemed that no one could persuade anyone, and they had been in a stalemate. At this time, I heard the waiter say that Qin Qiong was asking to see him outside, and he also brought his son, think about it, since the welcome building, he has never seen this little demon, and he and Wei Zheng are grinding here, and they can't grind anything, fortunately, they still see what they are doing here, so he said to the waiter: "Xuan!" ”
"Xuanyi Guogong Qin Qiong and his son Qin Huaidao are here!" The chamberlain stood in the doorway and shouted to the outside of the temple. The one outside heard it, shouted outside, passed it down one by one, and only when it was the third one that they led Qin Huaidao and them in.
This is Qin Huaidao's first time in the palace, and I heard that if he enters the palace, misbehaving, it is also a big crime, so Qin Huaidao didn't look around, and followed the chamberlain in front of him and his father all the way forward!
"Wechen knocks to see Your Majesty." Qin Huaidao himself has an official position, although it is only a fictitious position, but there is no problem in calling himself a micro-minister.
"Get up! It's just a little more time in the morning, huh? Something must be there, right? Go ahead! Li Shimin said unhappily above, and the anger in his heart and Wei Zheng had not yet dissipated.
Qin Huaidao saw that Li Shimin was not speaking very politely, so he looked up and found that Wei Zheng was also puffing up, how could he not understand. Qin Qiong said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, we have been discussing the matter of horses for the past two days, your guard officer Qin Huaidao has thoughts about this, but after all, he is only a false position, so he entrusted Weichen to ask to see the emperor instead of him!" ”
This is the art of speaking, why Qin Qiong only said that Qin Huaidao was the emperor's guard officer at this time, why didn't he say his own child, in fact, it was also to reveal a message to Li Shimin, although Qin Huaidao was his own child, but before this identity, he was a courtier of your Li family, and in front of official affairs, all private feelings were not allowed to interfere.
Sure enough, hearing Qin Qiong say this, Li Shimin's tone softened a lot, of course, it was not because of language arts, if he could make Li Shimin happy just by a few words, why did he be the first emperor of the ages. He was happy that Qin Qiong said that Qin Huaidao could solve the problem of horses, and he and Wei Zheng were fighting until now because of the problem of horses, Li Shimin thought that now was the best time to get rid of the Turks, so he had to finish his work in a battle, and draw a large number of cavalry to fight with the Turks, and in order to prevent excessive loss of horses, it was necessary to requisition civilian horses, and Wei Zheng thought that although this could speed up the progress of the war, if it was forcibly requisitioned, it would make people complain, and it would take a steady and steady way, and it didn't matter if it took a long time, It will not make the people resentful. Neither of the two could convince anyone, at this time Qin Huaidao suddenly said that he could solve the problem of horses, how to make him unhappy, and Qin Qiong also came to introduce him to explain that this method must have its feasibility. Then he said to Qin Huaidao: "Oh? Then let's talk about it! ”
"Yes, Weichen has a piece of paper here, dare to look at His Majesty!" Qin Huaidao took out a piece of paper in his arms, and Wang De next to him took the paper and handed it to Li Shimin. Seeing that Li Shimin began to open it, Qin Huaidao continued: "Weichen can't increase the number of horses in my Tang Dynasty, but it can slow down their attrition. The reason why horses will wear out too much, as long as it is its structural principle, the bottom of the horse's paw is a layer of hard cuticle, similar to our nails, Your Majesty should know that the nails are soaked in water for a long time, or receive a blow from external forces, they will become more fragile and this section, and the same is true for horseshoe, its cuticle has been affected by rain, wind and frost for a long time, and the strain caused by long-term running, which will accelerate the loss of the horse's hooves, and once the horse's hooves are lost, the horses can not be used. It is also divided into two layers, and a penetrating nail hole is punched out from one side. The edges of the horseshoe often have a wavy profile, and the unfixed ends are bent into a non-slip spur. Together with the nail head, it is first burned and cast, and then padded at the horse's feet, and then used a hammer and nails to nail this thick iron into the sole of the horse's feet, and used the barb of the iron nail to fix it on the horse's ankle bone, so that the horse's hooves can be effectively protected, greatly reducing the loss of the horse's hooves, even if it is the loss of the horseshoes, we only need to build a pair, and the Turkic roads are not very easy to walk, we can also add nails to its point to increase its grip. This not only reduces the wear and tear of the horse, but also the horse's ability and stability to sprint. It can also be improved."
Li Shimin watched Qin Huaidao's confident speech above, and at the same time considered the feasibility of this thing, thought about it for a long time, and didn't know if it was true without trying it, so he took the drawings to Wang De next to him, motioned for him to show Wei Zheng, and said to Qin Huaidao: "A few days ago, I heard that you are sick, and it is very serious? ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister is happy and worried!" Qin Huaidao said.
"Hehe, my crown prince, I appreciate it very much, and it can be said that I admire your talent very much, and I want you to be the companion of the East Palace, what do you want?"
"Wechen can't be ashamed!" Qin Huaidao said.
"Why?"
"Dare to ask Your Majesty, are there more and more scholars who are ready to participate in the imperial examination?" Qin Huaidao asked back.
"What do you mean?"
"Weichen knows that His Majesty has always wanted to recruit talents from all over the world, but there are too many poisons left by the former Sui, so that the scholars do not have much confidence in the imperial examinations of the imperial court. That's why Wechen made so many persuasive poems, hoping to break down one or two for His Majesty! ”
"What does this have to do with your role as a companion in the East Palace?"
"Your Majesty, if Weichen is a companion in the East Palace, he has a real job, how can he communicate sincerely with many civilian scholars?" Qin Huaidao asked rhetorically again.
"I'm very curious, you don't want to be an official, but you always solve the problem of serving the court for the court, what do you want?" Li Shimin's eyes have narrowed, there is no free lunch in this world, is it?
"Your Majesty, do you know the big man? When Weichen was guarding the tomb, what he read the most was the biography of the Han Dynasty, when the world was not yet settled. Weichen looked at the heyday of the Han Dynasty, thinking of my mother's teachings, I thought that one day, if I could do that Han Xin and build the immortal territory of the Tang Dynasty for me, this life would be enough! Qin Huaidao said emotionally.
"Hehehehe, do you know what happened to Han Xin?" Li Shimin asked gloomily.
"I naturally know that I just have no regrets, I will only have no complaints!" Qin Huaidao replied firmly.
"What the hell are you trying to say?"
"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations. Weichen knows that he has learned literary and martial arts, and the goods are with the emperor's family, but at this time, I am still a white body. ”
Li Shimin stood up, "Show me your back!" In fact, he believed that Qin Huaidao was an upright person, and when he came to borrow Wei Zheng's mouth, he already knew some things about Qin Huaidao. Second, Qin Huaidao's poems are too righteous and incredible, and those who are secretive can't write them at all.
"This, Wechen, so many people, Wechen is not too embarrassed." Qin Huaidao said shyly.
"I'm just looking."
Qin Huaidao exposed his back, Li Shimin looked at the four words behind Qin Huaidao, and said slowly: "If you are the second Han Xin, I will never be the second Liu Bang!" What is it? After saying that, he saw a piece of paper on the ground and asked. Qin Huaidao was also relieved to see that Li Shimin had temporarily put aside the doubts in his heart.
"Send your second career, you choose one of the two, I recommend you choose the second one! More in line with your identity. ”
When Qin Huaidao came out of the Taiji Palace, he remembered what Wei Zheng said before leaving, and shook his head with a wry smile. "Your Majesty, you are really disgraced today, you are arguing with Weichen, why do you want to vent your anger on others?"
"I'm uncomfortable, can't I vent it?"
"Yes, you can do things, you can't do things, and you're a hero, and Weichen thinks that this thing can be tried!"
