Cao Shi's heart was really unhappy.
Lao Tzu was born and died to offend so many people for the Han family, so that you will fight the Huns in the future, toss the country less, and maintain the luck of the strong Han Empire.
That's how you treat my best assistant?
For the sake of a horse, I have to fight and kill, and one day I become prime minister, it is not a minute to be cut off and kicked as a ball.
If you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates.
"This kid is really not on the road, I will offer you stirrups, you don't understand it, just scare at your face at every turn, let's not talk about anything in the future, you play your dream of the Spring and Autumn Empire, I'll be my Taiping Liehou, so as not to be killed by you in three centimeters." Cao Shi's temperament in his heart has not disappeared, and he pretended to be sincerely afraid to avoid the prince's apology, but in fact, he still secretly felt worthless in his heart.
It's really blind and wishful thinking to help this bastard, this is just a horse to shake his face, to change to a beautiful woman, I don't dare to say that my head is moved, at least my career is not guaranteed, and I even go to prison.
Is this something that people can do? Can this also be called a person? It's not as good as the little red horse that is happy and has a lot of humanity.
The young prince was desperately blaming himself and apologizing. Covering his head and regretting his eyes, there is nothing wrong with Liu Che being very smart, but he is still just a child with shallow personal life experience. It is not easy to give up the dignity of the high and take the initiative to apologize, and it is the infinite glory of the courtiers to make the prince sincerely apologize and admit his mistakes for his mistakes.
The imperial power has always occupied a strong initiative, and the ministers must be convincing people in a roundabout way in the face of the imperial power, and persuade the wayward prince to know that he is making a mistake, and there are only a handful of people who can do this. Today, Cao Shi also has to convince the crown prince Liu Che.
Cao Shi felt that this was a good opportunity, and immediately said: "Your Highness should know that Zhou Cheng Wang Tongye is the marquis. Duke Zhou left an allusion to the king's jokes, you are the prince of the country of ten thousand times, your words and deeds are as noble as the Son of Heaven, and every word and every statement of His Royal Highness must be as cautious as King Zhou Cheng. You don't trust the hundreds of officials in the court, nor do you believe in the talents of the ministers, you are only willing to reuse the favored ministers, and you may be safe and sound in the short term if you govern the country like this, but your Royal Highness cannot reach the height of Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Taizong Wen in this life. ”
Liu Che's face is sometimes blue and sometimes white, and he has been cultivated as the direction of the future Mingjun since he was a child, and everyone will praise the prince for his intelligence wherever he goes. has the demeanor of the ancient Ming Jun, and grew up in such public opinion, the Ming Jun Xian King has long become Liu Che's greatest ambition in his life. Cao Shi saw this weakness and poked it fiercely, like a knife poking the central room, and it hurt his heart.
What does it feel like to be bitten by tens of thousands of ants? Liu Che felt like this at the moment.
Shang King Wu Ding, King Zhou Cheng, Duke Qi Huan, Duke Wen of Jin, King Chu Zhuang, and King Qin Hui represent the lord of Zhongxing and the ruler of the world, Liu Che is very envious of their past achievements, and his ideal goal is also such a great king, but the impulse that should not be there just now almost ruined a qiē. Selfish and arrogant prejudice and inexplicable jealousy made him almost single-handedly ruin the hard-earned relationship between the monarch and the minister.
The prince reflected silently in his heart. It must be admitted that he subconsciously did not fully trust Cao Shi, if there is no jealousy and jealousy psychology affects his judgment, as the emperor is most afraid of Jin Jin skills and small belly chicken intestines, there must be a lofty goal, the Xiongnu in the north, the Zhuyue in the south, the countries in the Western Regions, and the Wei Dynasty in the northeast are all his enemies, for a horse almost ruined everything the foundation, Liu Che regretted it very much.
"Your Highness is the prince of the country, and you will be able to do it yourself in the future, your is to conquer the barbarians, lay down the largest territory in history, and establish the eternal glory of the Han Empire, anything else is secondary, Your Highness should restrain arbitrarily control and return to reason, it doesn't matter if you have a horse or a few lucky ministers, as long as you achieve the highest ambition of Your Highness's life, these are not a problem."
Liu Che's face was shocked and ashamed, and he was stunned and remorseful, he felt remorse for the impact on his dream of Mingjun.
The fourteen-year-old crown prince was born with a heart of great ambition, and he wanted to surpass the Qin Shi Huang, who unified the six kingdoms, and become the greatest emperor of all time.
The three emperors of Degao and the five emperors of Gonggai.
The cruel reality hit his confidence, and the dream of the emperor of the ages was about to collapse, and Liu Chexin couldn't accept it at all.
His eyelids were lowered and he didn't even dare to look at Cao, wishing that there was a crack in the ground for him to get into, and hating that he was completely carried away by anger.
Self-blame and guilt are not in line with his character, Liu Che's personality is proud and self-contained, and he can't get into his eyes when he waits for idlers, but he is also a very tenacious person, in order to take over the throne and accept ten years of training by the prince, the boring etiquette training did not make him retreat, and the difficulties of the officials and ministers did not make him retreat.
Getting rid of the indelible selfishness and ruthlessness in his heart, Liu Che met the basic requirements of the British lord Mingjun, and his tenacity, patience and strong will were not lacking at all, and his intelligence and ability to recognize and employ people were not bad at all.
The crown prince faintly realized the shackles that hindered him, the road to the emperor of the ages was bumpy, and selfish desire and ruthlessness were the biggest stumbling blocks on this road, and kicking it away was only a stone's throw away from becoming a Ming monarch.
"I can't admit defeat, a small blow can't destroy me, get up from where I fall!"
Liu Che gritted his teeth and put down his face, sincerely apologized to Cao Shi, he cared more about his inner firmness and peace than meaningless face and vanity, and the great emperor's heart must be very strong.
The heat is about the same.
Cao Shi raised his hand and pointed at the little red horse that was happy, and said lightly: "Your Highness, go down and look at your red clouds." See if the leg of the horse nailed down a horseshoe is lame or not, lest the minister be wrongfully killed and don't know what he died! ”
It was only after he reminded him that he remembered the main contradiction of the conflict, the red cloud that obediently occupied the spot and snorted. It didn't seem to hear a painful hiss for a long time, but shook his head and seemed to be very happy.
The prince guard led the soldiers to lead Chiyun to walk, and was surprised to see that one foot hit the iron nail had no effect at all, and the horse's tail flicked back and forth to show that it was in a very happy mood.
"What's going on?" Liu Che was dumbfounded, Chiyun's horse's hooves had a few terrible big nails nailed without any problems, could it be that he was dazzled or confused.
The soldier hurriedly lifted the horse's hooves and looked over, and sure enough, two iron ingots were embedded with a U-shaped iron piece and smashed into the horse's hooves. If you look closely, you can see that there are two nails that have not been patched, which shows that the work of striking the nails was not completed when the craftsman was caught.
Liu Che looked dazed: "Brother-in-law." Am I dazzled? ”
"Brother-in-law, whoever is your brother-in-law is unlucky, I will have eight lifetimes of blood mold!" Cao Shi stretched his face and was unwilling to deal with Liu Che.
He can see it, and he can't treat Liu Che completely sincerely. Otherwise, you will really dare to kick your nose in the face, and you can do something like riding on your head and pulling a bubble of hot flight.
"I'm sorry brother-in-law, I just fainted and said hurtful things, it really wasn't intentional, I feel that I have something unclean in my heart, and I need to go to the Taiyi Temple to pray to the Taiyi God and the Black Emperor!" Liu Che couldn't help but apologize to him with a bitter face.
Black Emperor Liu Bang, the patron saint of the Liu family, Liu Che was ruthless to change his mind and get rid of the evil demons in his heart. For this reason, he did not hesitate to put down his head and apologize to Cao Shi.
As the pride of the sky, he has been held by a group of people since he was a child, and the first time he apologized to his ministers in his life showed that he made an exception, and it was even rarer to apologize two or three times in a row.
Someone else gets along in a different place. It's really not necessarily possible to pull down the neck and keep apologizing, that is the prince above hundreds of millions of people under one person, not an ordinary hippie smiling person.
People are not saints and sages, who can be without fault, and can change after passing, and the good is great.
The heat is about the same. Cao Shidun repeatedly said that he did not dare to let the prince condescend to apologize, and slowly explained the principle of the horseshoe.
Horseshoe is like a human fingernail that grows outward. Different wear and tear will cause the horse's hooves to be too long or locally strict zhòng deformation, it is very dangerous to use this kind of horse's hooves as an unhealthy mount as a war horse, so the craftsman should use large scissors or a file to clean up the uneven horse's hooves, and then fix an iron sheet called horseshoes with iron nails to protect the horse's hooves and reduce wear and tear, and enhance the safety of the horse's large-scale load-bearing activities.
"It turns out that the horse's hooves are still so exquisite, I'm sorry to misunderstand my brother-in-law's kindness."
Liu Che ordered the three craftsmen to be released and let them continue to nail the horseshoe for Chiyun, and the three of them worked tremblingly, like frightened rabbits shaking their hands, and cowering with empty eyes, for fear that the prince would be unhappy and slaughter them all.
The craftsmen were frightened, and the prince's heart was also very uncomfortable, Cao Shi's planned gift was almost ruined by his momentary distrust and anger, and he hated the demonic cold thought in his heart, just like the suppression of the evil demon in Taiyi's demon chapter that could not be seen and heard but hidden in people's hearts, he suddenly felt that he needed to go to the temple more to seek the blessing of Taiyi God.
In ancient times, sacrifices and beliefs involved major issues of right and wrong, and even more important than personal life and death, honor and disgrace, which is also directly related to the good ghosts and good witches in ancient times, even if he was smart and wise like the prince Liu Che, he could not escape the influence of secular customs, and gradually he began to believe in the reasons made up by Cao Shi, "Tai Yijing" may really be hidden in the classical books and have not been revealed fragments.
The four horseshoes were nailed into the horseshoe, Chiyun shook his head angrily and kept snorting, like a proud warrior showing off his strength, let go of the reins and let Chiyun walk around on the trail, the pace was steady, there was no sign of lameness or discomfort of the war horse, several prince guards led the soldiers were stunned, if they hadn't seen the whole process of nailing with their own eyes, they couldn't believe that the war horse could bear such a big nail.
Waving his hand to let the soldiers retreat, Liu Che said with a look of shame: "It was wrong for me to be angry just now, brother-in-law, don't take it to heart, let's continue to be virtuous and famous ministers like Duke Qi Huan and Guan Zhong, okay?" ”
"The minister has always been the secretary of His Royal Highness, and he has never regretted being the secretary of His Royal Highness, I hope that the minister and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can compose a good story of the history of the monarch and the minister." Cao Shi had a solemn expression and said very sensual words without any psychological burden, since the Great Xia Dynasty, the concept of loyalty has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It would seem natural to say this, after all, it is a virtue that has been passed down from generation to generation since Yi Yin.
Liu Che calmed down and laughed and said, "Yes, it will!" I want to be the emperor of the ages. You are my name through the ages. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled.
At least, that's what Liu Che thinks.
He felt that his salvation was effective, and he couldn't even imagine the help of leaving Cao Shi, just with a bunch of "crooked melons and cracked dates" in the court, how to realize his dream of an eternal emperor, Cao Shi was an important executor of his dream, the core power source of the imperial chariot, and the importance was far from being comparable to that of a horse or a few favored ministers.
Cao Shi saw that the prince's love had turned for the better. The spoiled interest seems to be back, and I will introduce a few other parts of the harness set. The leather high-bridge saddle and the small metal rings on the left and right sides are eye-catching.
No matter how good it is, it is better to sit on it and try it, the prince stepped on the stirrup and turned over on the horse, feeling that it was quite comfortable to sit on the saddle of the high bridge, and the body balance was more stable with both feet stepping on the stirrup. Riding the red clouds around a few laps left and right, the interest was great, and he rode his horse and ran in circles.
This time the running is very different, Liu Che rode on the horse and swayed his body from side to side, his two legs stepped on the stirrups to always maintain his balance, and he held the horsewhip left and right as if he was holding a sharp blade in his hand, and it was a group of hateful Hun cavalry who slashed and chopped.
The prince was very happy, and after running the horse for more than a dozen laps without noticing half a minute of fatigue, he was tired and out of breath after running for more than a dozen laps an hour ago, and he did not need to struggle to clamp the horse's belly to keep his mind balanced at all times, and the consumption of body and energy was greatly reduced. Horseback riders naturally become more energetic.
"Good stuff! What a great thing! Our Han cavalry has always been inferior to the Huns on the grassland, and the next time you encounter the Huns, let them eat ashes! Liu Che laughed excitedly, as if the east wind was blowing and the dark clouds in the sky were removed. The depression and discomfort just now were suddenly swept away like a wind and clouds.
Cao Shi's mount Zi Qi also sharpened the horse's hooves and nailed the hooves on the spot, saddled the horse with the stirrup, followed the pace of the prince in the small horse farm a few times, sent the reins and held the archery posture with both hands, and compared the standard Hun riding and archery movements, he had been taught by Gan's father with all his might, and he had the Huns' riding and archery skills to conquer the desert.
Even the Hundred Arrows Secret Technique is in his hands, but his strength, physical fitness, explosive power, and archery accuracy are not strong enough. Barely even a dozen arrows fell sharply, and the skills of twenty-five arrows could not be maintained. Not to mention the deep question of how far and accurately an arrow can be fired, he is only sixteen years old this year, and he still has time to improve his physical limit.
Liu Che's eyes lit up when he saw his movements, the Huns' riding and archery skills have long been famous in the Han Dynasty, when King Wuling of Zhao learned not very authentic riding and archery skills through various means, and then combined with Zhao Di's archery skills to open his own simplified version of riding and archery skills, the requirements for the degree and timing of the arrow are not as strict as the Huns, in exchange for sacrificing power and hits, it is easy to learn at the beginning, quick to achieve, easy to install cavalry on a large scale, and more suitable for large-scale wars.
"Quick! Take a strong bow, erect an arrow target, I want to see Shaofu perform the art of riding and archery. ”
The crown prince ordered, the palace guards immediately took action, the palace equipment of a stone war bow and a pot of light arrows handed over, fifty steps away (about 35 meters) erected a meadow made of arrow targets, the diameter of the red heart is the size of a fist, fifty steps apart only a needle-sized target, very test the shooter's sense of distance and accuracy.
Cao Shi picked up a stone bow and pulled the bowstring a few times, it takes a process to get familiar with other people's war bows, it usually takes ten days and half a month to find out the complete performance, it is obvious that for the prince who can only play six or seven hunting bows, the use of war bows and other skills belong to the professional category that does not need to be learned, he will not and cannot touch this kind of strong bow that is easy to hurt the body, for him archery is to take a bow and release arrows, he did this by shooting hares and wild deer in Shanglin.
"Your Highness, I need to test the accuracy and performance of this skill."
"You can use it."
Take out the light arrow and bend the bow like a full moon, aim at the arrow target and shoot it steadily, one arrow, two arrows, three arrows, and keep keeping the rate of two breaths and one arrow for a moment, until a pot of forty military arrows is shot into the air, and then slowly breathe a sigh of relief.
The soldiers led by the prince guard were stupid, two breaths and one arrow were about equal to the rate of one arrow in 6 seconds, and forty arrows were released without interruption, even if the bow was not opened like a full moon, even if the range was only a short 35 meters, it was unimaginable. What is even more surprising is that all the arrows are on target, although only seven or eight arrows are in and around the circle of hearts, but this rate and hit rate is already very amazing. Most of the arrows that the soldiers thought were shot out of a pot of arrows were not accurate.
Liu Che's archery inherited the mediocre talent of his ancestors, and occasionally took dozens of people to hunt some small animals in the forest and thought that he was a master of archery, but in fact, a large group of people went to hunt and drove the prey into a narrow encirclement, as long as the luck was not particularly bad, they could shoot a few prey, and the hunting was not directly related to the level of archery.
The prince couldn't see the power of Cao Shi's archery, and urged him to quickly perform the Hun cavalry archery, but Cao Shi was very helpless. The bow is not my own, and it is not easy to use, but I have to make do with it.
Brewing love, xù adjust the direction and slowly add. Galloping along a straight line, the arrow flew out at the moment when the four hooves took off, and landed on the red heart of the target almost in the blink of an eye.
"Good!" Liu Che applauded and cheered.
Hit the horse and turned back, and turned back along the straight line for another round of galloping. This time, the luck is more average, the arrow deviates three fingers and falls on the left side of the heart, and the riding shot has a strong judgment on the sense of space, the timing of the shot, the movement of the mount, and the direction and degree of the wind, and the slight mistake will be off the bull's-eye.
The next few rounds of school shooting are all missed near the edge of the red heart, every shot misses will cause a sigh, Liu Che stared at the arrow target and looked forward to it for a moment, the hard work paid off, and finally hit the red heart again in the seventh arrow, Cao Shi kept turning the horse's head to adjust the distance. Silently calculate the travel distance of the purple horse in your heart, and you must pinch the position of the bullseye exactly at the moment when the four hooves of the purple horse are temporarily empty, otherwise a slight deviation of even two or three feet will affect the angle of the arrow.
Find the right trip, and the next hit rate is getting higher and higher. From three arrows with one arrow hitting the heart and the other two arrows grazing the edge of the heart, to three arrows with two arrows hitting the heart and only one arrow outside the heart, I gradually regained a little sense of rhythm of bending the bow and shooting.
The palace guards watched their every move with wide eyes, knowing that they couldn't learn any skills in a short time. Still unwilling to give up a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
When the last round of cavalry was over, forty arrows filled the four circles of hearts. Count carefully, there are twenty arrows that fall on the red heart, especially in the last round of three arrows, the red heart is full of applause.
Liu Che was overjoyed: "Good archery, good harness, put the harness into the cavalry of the Han army, every cavalry can practice such archery in less than two years, why should the Huns not be destroyed?" ”
"The archery of the minister has been learned by a famous teacher since he was a child, and he has never left it over the years except for the mourning system, and ordinary knights want to learn this hand archery without three or five years of training, which is difficult to do." Cao Shi smiled bitterly, the prince really doesn't treat him as a marksman, and it is difficult for an ordinary marksman to achieve such a result as he does with other people's war bows, today he feels good and quickly finds a rhythm, and when he feels ordinary, he is only afraid of the red heart of the arrow target, and he is afraid that it is difficult to have even ten arrows.
Next, Cao Shi performed another set of shooting skills taught by Gan's father, ten human-shaped arrow targets were fixed thirty steps away, and there was only one person between the two arrow targets, and the soldiers led by the prince were very curious, how to shoot the targets at such a close distance, even if the war horse was just moving slowly, it would take at least one or two breaths to shoot the first arrow and bend the bow and shoot again, and the first two or three arrows could still keep up with the rhythm.
Cao Shi rode a war horse, holding the bow arm with his left hand, holding ten feather arrows with his right hand, slowly moving the horse to the edge, standing in place to adjust the position of the mount, constantly taking deep breaths to adjust the rhythm of the breath, riding and archery in addition to the high requirements for riding and archery, the correct bow force skills and the technique of throwing arrows, as well as a good breathing rhythm are also very important.
There is no good force skills and scattering techniques, novices who do not know archery skills rely on brute force to pull the bow and shoot a few arrows, there will be a sore arm and weak wrists, and bad luck will strain muscles and even hurt bones, higher level skills are to have the correct breath rhythm, force skills with the correct breath adjustment force is always at the peak, the moment of the force shakes the least and shoots the most stable, which will naturally improve the hit rate and lethality.
"Huh? What does it mean to have ten arrows in your hand? There was a question mark on the prince's head.
Cao Shi's war horse moved, the degree of the war horse was not at all the imaginary turtle forward, but the fast horse whipped like a black shadow galloped out, the soldiers led by the prince guard were stunned to watch a gust of wind blowing, the arrow target was snatched and snatched in the middle of the arrow, and the war horse left the track to fight and turn around in a few breaths.
Looking at each of the ten humanoid arrow targets, a black arrow was inserted into each of the ten humanoid arrow targets, and in just a few breaths, Cao Shi completed the rapid shooting of ten arrows, which was incredibly fast.
Liu Che's eyes almost popped out, he had seen an archery cow go to the sky, but he had never seen such a cow, Cao Shi's archery skills were simply amazing! (To be continued)
