Chapter 21: Excited Li Er

Seeing the emperor walking outside the palace in a hurry, a group of eunuchs hurriedly picked up the lanterns and followed out. It's pitch black outside, and if the emperor bumps into something, it's not enough for them eunuchs to die ten thousand times.

The eunuchs led the way for the emperor in front with lanterns, and Wei Chigong had to walk up quickly, following the emperor closely, and thinking about what the emperor said just now while walking.

If the emperor is not satisfied with this for a while, their father and son will definitely become the laughing stock of Chang'an City. Hu Guogong and his father and son were punished by the emperor to go to the clean room to brush horses! It's a shame to think about! Leaving others aside, just that sworn enemy Cheng Biting Jin didn't know how to arrange himself at that time. Now when Wei Chigong thinks of Cheng Biting Jin's face at that time, he feels uncomfortable.

Is the clean room a place where people stay? It's a place where the horses (toilets) are stored, and the clean ones are stacked together, not to mention washing, it's shameful to just stay there, not to mention cleaning the things yourself.

Wei Chigong followed closely behind the emperor with a heavy heart, and soon came to the horse that had nailed the horse.

Wei Chi Gong came to his horse like a treasure, raised a horse's foot with both hands, and presented a horse's show in front of the emperor.

Because it was just made and because the horseshoe rubbed against the ground, the horseshoe looked even more shiny and dazzling under the light of the lamp.

I saw a ring-shaped metal sheet tightly wrapped under the horse's hooves, and the metal pieces were firmly nailed to the horse's hooves with six iron nails.

"Such a good idea, why didn't I think of it before, everyone knows that they are afraid of foot injury and wear shoes, why didn't they think of putting shoes on horses before, such a simple truth, how can no one in the world think of it, only this kid called Cheng Wu can think of it, it seems that this person is definitely not a simple character." After the emperor looked at the horseshoe carefully, he excitedly spun back and forth in place, clasped his hands tightly, and muttered in his heart.

The people around him have never seen the emperor so nervous, and before the Xuanwumen Incident, they have never seen the emperor so nervous, especially the eunuchs around the emperor, who were so nervous that they didn't dare to take a breath, and stood firmly aside with lanterns.

Looking at the emperor's nervous expression, Wei Chigong knew that now their father and son didn't have to go to the clean room to sweep the horses. But this is a good idea, next time if Cheng Blind makes a mistake in front of the emperor again, you can remind the emperor when the time comes, and let the emperor punish him to brush horses there.

Wow haha...... that's great. Yu Chigong was happy that he thought of such a way to torture Cheng Biting Jin.

People are like this, before their own risk has passed, the expression is like a dead father, but if you know that the risk has passed, the next second you will think of how to transfer this damaging method to your sworn enemy. The current Wei Chigong is such an example. Of course, Wei Chigong and Cheng Yanjin are not rivals in the real sense, it's just that in order to have some fun in their lives now, these two people are thinking of a way to damage each other everywhere, no matter how powerful and how to damage, but if the two of them really go to the battlefield, they are two comrades-in-arms and brothers who have lived in friendship, and the relationship is iron. Yu Chigong, Cheng Biting Jin and Qin Shubao are known as the iron triangle of the Tang Dynasty. The relationship between these three people is a friendship that has been fought on countless battlefields, and it can't be more iron.

The emperor turned around, turned around and asked the father and son beside him, and said, "This iron nail is pierced like this, has it hurt the horse?" ”

Yu Chi Gong didn't know how to answer, so he turned his face and looked at his son Yu Chi Baolin.

Yu Chi Baolin also asked Cheng Wu this way at the beginning, and he already had the answer in his heart, so he replied, "Back to the emperor, this emperor can rest assured, the nail is only a part of the horse's hoof, just like a human nail, people don't feel pain when they cut their nails, this nail is also, the nail is only the part of the horse's hoof that does not penetrate deep into the meat, so the horse definitely does not feel the slightest pain, and it will not be damaged." ”

After Wei Chi Wei Chi finished speaking, sweat came out, and he was so nervous that he was going to die, this was the first time he had answered in front of the emperor, and he was so close to the emperor. Yu Chi Baolin, who used to be very stupid, didn't know how to say so much tonight, and tonight was also extraordinary.

"Well, that makes sense." After listening to Yu Chi Baolin's words, the emperor nodded in approval. Looking back, he asked Yu Chi Gong in surprise: "How did I hear that in the past, Yu Chi Baolin was a guy who was not good at words, and Yu Chi Baolin didn't speak like this before, how can he speak so reasoned and well-founded now, it seems that the rumors are not credible." The emperor said with a smile, and in the end, it really tasted like a father-in-law looking at his son-in-law.

Wei Chigong immediately patted his ass and said: "Thanks to the emperor"

After speaking, the emperor changed the topic and said: "The method of making salt, put aside it now, this horseshoe alone is now a major good thing for our Datang, this matter is too important, you are all soldiers, you know the role of this horseshoe for us, our cavalry has always been few, plus the source of horses and the training of cavalry, plus the annual war horses due to the damage of horse hooves, every year the horses that can really fight on the battlefield are declining rapidly, plus Turkic, Tibetan, Tuyuhun deliberately embargoed horses to my Datang, our cavalry can be said to be pitiful, even if we buy a little bit through traders in private, but this is far from the number of injured horses, now we have this thing, if it is popularized in the whole army, there will be fewer and fewer damaged war horses in the future, which is a good thing for us. "People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and the emperor's face is now as if he has drunk nectar, and his smile is so sweet.

"Now pass on my will, I order you father and son, rush to Xiaoyang Village overnight to bring the young man named Cheng Wu back to Chang'an, I want to see him" After speaking, he turned back to the hall to draft the holy decree. The eunuch hurriedly walked in front of the emperor to hold the lamp for him.

The emperor, who was in good spirits, finished writing the holy decree like a cloud, personally handed it to Wei Chi's hand, took out the tiger talisman he carried with him, handed it to the other party's hand, and said: "You lead 200 imperial forest troops to go out of the city overnight with my tiger talisman, no matter what means you use, you have to bring Cheng Wu to me to meet me, if anyone dares to stop it, you can shoot it anywhere." After speaking, he felt that there was nothing left to explain, thought about it, and added: "The blacksmith father and son from Xiaoyang Village will also bring it back together, even if it is a member of the craftsman supervisor" After speaking, he did not forget to pick up the small bag of snow salt wrapped in silk presented by Yu Chigong on the case, and walked towards the harem without looking back.

Not long after the emperor returned to the harem, a pair of about 200 people went out of the city overnight with the emperor's will and tiger talismans, and quickly went in the direction of Xiaoyang Village.

The emperor happily returned to the Qingning Palace, where the queen lived, and wanted to continue the work that had not been "done" just now. Holding the bag of snow salt given by Yu Chigong in his hand, he walked towards the bedroom of Empress Changsun with a smile on his face.

Empress Changsun saw the emperor returning in the shape of a dragon, and saw that the emperor's smiling expression tonight was in stark contrast to the depressed expression when he left just now.

"Guanyin, haven't you slept yet?" Entering the house, Li Er saw that Empress Eldest Sun had not slept yet, and asked with concern.

"It's rare that the emperor is so happy tonight, is there really any great joy for Hu Guogong to report to the emperor?"

"Hehe, that's of course, otherwise I would have to let his father and son go to the clean room to sweep the horses," the emperor said with a smile, sat on the ground, and then took a sip of the water poured by the queen on the table. Then he told Empress Changsun about the horseshoe and snow salt that Yu Chigong said, and after speaking, he put the packet of iodized salt presented by Yu Chigong on the table and opened it.
