"This ...... Ma ......" Xiao Meimei paid attention to what she said when she said this, she was already raising her hand to caress the Iberian horse beside her husband. Such a handsome horse has never been seen before, and in terms of pure height, the horse is much larger than the Iberian horse in front of me. The sheer size of the horse is not enough to be called a divine horse, and that kind of docile and sharp reaction is really heartfelt.

Zhao Qian said with a smile: "I'm going north soon, just to see if this horse can travel thousands of miles a day and eight hundred nights as the official family said." ”

"What are you going north for?" Xiao Meimei asked puzzled.

"I have to go and comfort the railroad workers along the way, they are working so hard. On such a cold day, he is still fighting on the front line. ”

"You...... Go early and come back early. Xiao Meimei knew that her husband would be going out for a while this time, and she couldn't help it if she was unhappy.

Zhao Qian also knew that he would go out for a while, so he comforted his wife softly, "There are some things at this pass, and you have to persist until you break through the pass." ”

"I think this kind of thing is still up to the people. If you go, it's not good to be taken as a surveillance. Xiao Meimei expressed her opinion.

Zhao Qian was shocked, how could his wife's words sound the same as what the old lady said.

At this time, Qin Yuzhen was also saying to Zhao Jiaren: "I don't think Da Lang should be involved in this matter so deeply, it's not good for Da Lang." ”

"Why?" Zhao Jiaren asked.

"This is the prime minister's business, and Da Lang is not the prime minister. San Lang, if Da Lang is too involved in this matter, he will inevitably be held responsible. If something goes wrong with the railway, Dalang's reputation will be damaged. You and I will soon be 60 years old, and Dalang's reputation cannot be damaged. ”

Zhao Jiaren did not speak, and fell into deep thought. As a mother, Qin Yuzhen couldn't pretend that she hadn't seen it, she simply made her words clear, "San Lang, you can be proud of your talents, but Da Lang can't." There must be an accident on the railway, and if something happens, someone will push it on Da Lang, saying that he is not a good son. What to do when the time comes. Neither you nor Da Lang have a mastermind by their side! ”

"Well said!" Zhao Jiaren's eyes lit up, "Mastermind!" Hehe, I actually understand what you said. ”

Alas, Qin Yuzhen sighed ......, and Zhao Jiaren noticed that his son needed a mastermind and did not make Qin Yuzhen happy. It is the monarch who makes the decisions, and it is the mastermind who understands the reactions of others during the execution process and adjusts the execution process accordingly. Zhao Jiaren is wonderful, he has taken on the two tasks of monarch and mastermind by himself, and there are not only solutions to anything to him, but also steps to solve them. Qin Yuzhen was very impressed by this. But the stronger the light, the greater the shadows. Zhao Jiaren is strong enough to be free from any negative influence, and someone must be forced to bear a huge shadow.

Xiao Meimei saw that Zhao Qian did not plan to cancel the trip, and was very anxious. Her mother-in-law Qin Yuzhen said that she was worried the day before yesterday, and Xiao Meimei finally figured out a few basic points after careful consideration, and she felt that she had to explain it clearly to her husband Zhao Qian at this time. There are countless ways to make women happy, take children, give gifts, and say thoughtful words to solve the problems they are facing. It only takes one to make men happy, and let them do whatever they like. So that's why men are useless. They either hit their heads, bleed, noses, bruised and swollen faces and do not repent, or they do not do anything perfunctory and do not do any superficial work, leaving things there for women to clean up the mess. Xiao Meimei couldn't accept that her husband did the same.

"Da Lang, a moat like the Yangtze River and the Yellow River is just a small ditch that can be walked through in a few steps in the eyes of the strong, but how many such strong people are there in the world? Most people can only be at a loss in the face of such a moat, and slowly move forward on the road that the strong have walked step by step. Xiao Meimei tried to tell her husband in a gentle way.

Zhao Qian felt that this was a good word, and couldn't help but nod slightly. This reaction was in Xiao Meimei's eyes, she understood that her husband didn't understand what this meant at all, she could only increase the intensity of the situation, "Where there is progress, there must be reaction, and the railway is something that changes the times." The official family has a big step, and one step is ten steps against others. What about the others? They take half a step, half a step, a third step, a quarter of a step. They saw the official family striding meteors, and some people could follow behind, what did they think in their hearts. It must be unhappy, what will you do if you are unhappy, you must blame others, say that others are slow, and say that others are wrong. Who do you think this accusation will be? ”

At this point, Zhao Qian finally understood, and his heart became unhappy. My wife is right, this kind of unhappy person who walks behind is always full of complaints. But do these people really dare to take Zhao Qian as an attacker? Zhao Qian always felt that even if those people had this heart, they might not have the courage.

"Da Lang, if a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, I think you should get out. So many people want to take advantage of the railroad, so don't get involved with them at this time. What you are asking for is different from theirs, and you should catch up with your fellow travelers. And not as a victim. ”

"That's a bit of an exaggeration." Zhao Qian said very unhappily.

Seeing that Zhao Qian actually responded to his concern like this, the grievances immediately surged into Xiao Meimei's heart. She also knew that if she said it at this time, she was afraid that she would hear Zhao Qian say something that had nothing to do with the matter in front of her, so she turned around and left. Xiao Meimei explained herself in her heart while walking, she never lived with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, these two are smart people who know their bottom line and ability to bear, everyone has their own families, and they abide by each other's duty of not interfering with each other, Xiao Meimei likes to be with them very much.

From the emperor's point of view, Xiao Meimei and the other two respect the Zhao official family from the heart. Even from the perspective and level of Qin Shi Huang, a reformer who compares himself to the Zhao official family, the ability and merit of the Zhao official family are comparable to Zu Long. Like Zu Long, he also promoted reforms from the roots, bringing Chinese politics into a new era. Things from the old times are outdated in the new era! Admitting it or not admitting it is all true.

From a woman's point of view, the Zhao Guanjia may not meet all the standards of an ideal man. Xiao Meimei's mother-in-law, Qin Yuzhen, used the 'barrel theory' that Zhao Guanjia said to measure it, and Zhao Guanjia has every board, and it is also constantly improving. That's all. Xiao Meimei thinks that her mother-in-law Qin Yuzhen is a wise woman, and the fact that the Zhao official family can get such an evaluation from Qin Yuzhen shows that he is already very good. Mother-in-law Qin Yuzhen's evaluation of Zhao Qian is 'It will not be wrong in the general direction, but it is difficult to say in implementation.' ’

The greatest wisdom is found in a thorough understanding of the value of things, and wisdom is not exhausted when the ability to understand is acquired. Mother-in-law Qin Yuzhen is a person who can understand others, and after marrying the Zhao Guanjia who can change the world and even create a new world, her mother-in-law Qin Yuzhen also understands the wider world through the Zhao Guanjia. Her judgment of Zhao Qian was extremely accurate in Xiao Meimei's opinion. When wisdom collides with wisdom, countless sparks burst out. Xiao Meimei also learned a lot from it.

When she walked into the house, Xiao Meimei had already gotten rid of her unhappiness. Zhao Qian is not a bad person and is loyal to his family. What Xiao Meimei has to do is to help Zhao Qian, since she decided to marry the eldest son of the Zhao official family, she has already understood that she has to bear a much heavier responsibility in this marriage than other marriages. In this case, Xiao Meimei has to fulfill her obligations. If she can't do it, Xiao Meimei will be disappointed in herself.

Zhao Qian didn't follow his wife home, he felt that he felt a lot of things from his wife's words. But I can't grasp and understand it clearly. After thinking for a while, Zhao Qian simply rode on an Iberian horse and headed west of the city. Along the way, the Iberian horse attracted the attention of countless people, and some people even applauded Zhao Qian loudly from afar, "Where did you buy such a handsome horse!" ”

With the protection of guards, Zhao Qian is not worried about being harassed. It didn't take long for the group to arrive near a large building. The people who entered and exited the building all had horses, and Zhao Qian's mount became excited when he saw so many of his kind, and the other horses also reacted. Entering one of them, a rumbling sound echoed through the huge field. Zhao Qian reined in the horse, but the Iberian horse couldn't help but gently plow the ground with its front hooves.

Kaifeng in the Northern Song Dynasty liked horse racing, gambling was strictly prohibited in the Northern Song Dynasty, and those who were caught in serious circumstances would even be beheaded. However, on New Year's Day and other occasions, scaping and horse racing are openly allowed during the specified time. From the princes and nobles to the common people who could afford to buy horses, they all participated in horse racing at this time. Horses and riders leaping on the field, and the spectators shouted like a tsunami from the mountains. It is recorded through the pen of the people of that era in "Tokyo Menghualu".

When Kaifeng returned to the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, the Zhao family not only rebuilt the racecourse, but also expanded its scale many times. In the field where Zhao Qian entered, there were already more than a dozen horses galloping on the track. The guards ran Zhao Qian's runway, and Zhao Qian first gently stroked the horses, feeling the emotions of the Iberian horses, which was one of the training of the cavalry.

The horses also felt Zhao Qian's intention to gallop on horseback, and they were even more excited. Only then did Zhao Qian turn over and get on his own runway. After slowly slipping around twice, and after both the man and the horse warmed up, Zhao Qian shook the reins vigorously, clamped the saddle with his legs, and the Iberian horse immediately galloped away.

Zhao Qian's Iberian horse did not overtrim his hair, because it was so fast that the hair fluttered in the air almost horizontally towards the rear. This horse farm is the horse farm of the royal family, and the other riders have already arrived at this time. Everyone could see that Zhao Qian's horses were different, and when they saw the horses so miraculous, they couldn't help but applaud.

As a rider, Zhao Qian clearly felt the extraordinaryness of this horse. Starting, accelerating, powering, steering, Iberian Horse shows incredible power and precise control of this incredible power. Zhao Qian didn't seem to be riding on a horse, but like riding on a flowing cloud. A small part of the power was used to control the horses, and most of the power was used to keep Zhao Qian as close as possible to the frequency of movement of this flowing cloud. After running down one trip, Zhao Qian only felt in a good mood, and continued to run the second trip, Zhao Qian only felt relaxed and happy.

After two runs, Zhao Qian stopped the horse, but saw that the Iberian horse was breathing more vigorously, but it was far from the point of panting. Let the horses walk quickly, and they heard the man who had been training before shouting, "Prince, let us run with you." Please! ”

"Give me a chance, give me a chance!"

When it comes to such emotions, of course Zhao Qian will not refuse. It wasn't long before the rumbling echoes resounded in the racecourse. The horses that come here are all good horses, even if there are only ten horses running together, the momentum is no less than the movement of dozens of ordinary horses running together.

After running heartily, Zhao Qian took a shower in the shower room of the racecourse. As soon as I came out, I saw my father's secretary waiting outside, and the secretary said simply: "The official family invites the prince to come over." ”

When he arrived at his father's house, it was dark, Zhao Qian rubbed the meal first, and then the old lady talked to him first. Zhao Qian heard that the old lady's statement was similar to that of his wife, so he couldn't help but ask, "Mother, did you tell Meimei this first?" ”

Qin Yuzhen was stunned and asked, "What did she say?" ”

Zhao Qian told the old lady what Xiao Meimei would accuse Zhao Qian of those who couldn't keep up with the situation, and then saw that the old lady nodded with satisfaction, "Meimei is right." Do you think she's wrong? ”

Mom, you've said so, what are you going to let me say? Zhao Qian didn't know how to answer for a while. Then I heard the old lady say: "Do you remember that your father took you to find the nine-tailed fox?" ”

Zhao Qian was stunned, he had long forgotten about it. was mentioned again by the old lady, Zhao Qian only felt that it seemed to be a long time ago, and it was a little nostalgic for a long time.

"Your father never cared about life and death, and I put it bluntly. I don't want your reputation to suffer any damage until the day you take the throne. Someone as unsuperstitious as your father has to build momentum for you before you are officially called the crown prince, and increase the trust of others in you, and you yourself cannot destroy this. So you can't take care of the railroad anymore. ”

"Because I'm afraid someone will accuse me?" Zhao Qian couldn't quite accept this reason.

"You're almost forty, and you should be able to understand that the prince's reputation can't be damaged. It's not that you don't care about specific things, but how to end up after something happens. Who will be held responsible. Times have changed, but people's hearts have not changed. At that time, Zulong set the county system, which was indeed the law of eternity. But how long did it take for the county system to be fully established, and how long did it take for Wenjing Zhizhi to use cool officials to fight Haoqiang, and there would always be more than 100 years. In the past hundred years, many people have rebelled, is it because they are consumed by their interests and just want to be the emperor themselves? Most of them want to go back to the Seven Kingdoms era. If you want to inherit your father's path, then you can't be too detached from the current people's will. Your father is your father, you are you, it is not easy to fight the country, and it is even more difficult to defend the country. ”

The conservative tone of the old lady made Zhao Qian a little dumbfounded, and he wanted to refute it, but Zhao Qian also vaguely felt that some things were really as the old lady said. So Zhao Qian was silent for a while and listened to the old lady continue to criticize.
