Chapter 189: He Wants to Be King, I Will Give Way
Ying Zheng got up in shock, paced back and forth in the palace for more than ten steps, and suddenly turned to look at his biological mother Zhao Ji.
He was incredulous and skeptical:
"What Mother said is true? In March, the equestrian training can be compared to Li Mufei's soldiers, and it can be a siege weapon that can collapse the city wall. I don't believe it, where in the world is there such an artifact? ”
Zhao Ji recalled what she saw back then.
"If a horse runs thousands of miles, it hurts its hooves. Ying Cheng beetle a piece of iron on the horse's hooves and named it horseshoe. With the protection of iron weapons, the horse can travel thousands of miles, and the soles of the feet are not hindered. ”
Ying Zheng pondered the feasibility of the horseshoe, thought for a moment, and then shook his head.
"It's ridiculous, even if this method can be done, how difficult it is to nail iron in the horseshoe. If you want the horse to suffer pain and not kick people, you need to have the courage to hear that the three armies are in control of the horse, how can there be so many brave people in this world. ”
"The horse's hooves don't feel the pain."
"Grandma laughed again, the hooves are longer than the body, how can you not feel the pain?"
The First Emperor just shook his head.
Zhao Ji looked at the current appearance of the First Emperor, as if he saw himself at the beginning.
If she hadn't watched Ying Chengcheng nail a horseshoe to the horse's foot, she wouldn't have believed that the horse didn't feel pain in the horse's hooves.
"That shaft made the horseshoe ten years ago, and you're still doubting it. How can you stop it from rebelling? Give your hand to your mother. ”
Ying Zheng handed his hand to Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji pointed to the nails on Ying Zheng's hands and said, "Your nails also grow on Ling's body, will cutting your nails hurt you?" Horseshoe and nails also. ”
"Nails don't hurt?"
Ying Zheng pressed the top of his middle finger nail and muttered to himself.
Ying Zheng's nails are trimmed by a fixed palace maid, and usually Ying Zheng doesn't pay attention to such trivial things as nails, and takes it for granted that nails are painless.
I tried it today and found that it really didn't hurt.
I was a little surprised at this trivial thing that I was accustomed to.
Zhao Ji saw that the parents and children were doing childish acts there, and seemed to see Ying Zheng who ate his fingers twenty years ago, and couldn't help patting Ying Zheng's head to make Ying Zheng come back to his senses, and continued to explain to Ying Zheng.
"The horse's back is smooth, easy to fall and unstable, which is one of the main reasons for restricting the movement of cavalry. The shaft was made of a wooden frame covered with leather to make a seat, stuffed with soft objects, hip-shaped, and raised at the front and back, called a saddle, and placed on the horse's back for people to ride.
"The cavalry could easily crouch forward and backward on horseback, poke left and right, and do what only steppe cavalry could do before. The cavalry sat on horseback, their feet dangling in the air and nowhere to borrow strength.
"In order to sit on horseback, ordinary cavalrymen had to grasp the horse's mane with one hand, which was another major reason for restricting the movement of cavalry. The shaft was hung from the saddle with a special rope, and the head of the rope hung down was hung with a footrest, called a stirrup.
In this way, the cavalry sat on their horses and had their feet supported by something, as if they were stepping on the earth. When there are no stirrups, at least one of the horsemen's hands is tied, and archery is either to slow down the horse or to dismount, otherwise it is very easy to fall off the horse.
"With stirrups, hands are free, and cavalrymen can ride at high speeds, bending bows and arrows, and not falling off their horses. Those who can do this can be the vast grassland, and they can't pick out thousands of people.
"The siege object my mother has never seen, but the horseshoe, the saddle, and the stirrup are what my mother sees. Zhao Guohu cavalry shooting, cavalry dominates the world. With these three things, Zhao Guo's biggest advantage has become a disadvantage, and Zhao is dead, not wronged. ”
Ying Zheng grew up in Zhao when he was young, and he was no stranger to horses at all, and his riding skills could not be said to be superb, but at least he would not fall off his horse.
As Zhao Ji dictated, he conceived the saddle and stirrups in his mind, and found that it seemed completely feasible, and he was very surprised.
"This shaft has such treasures, why don't you take them out and give them to me? I can end the chaos in the Central Plains at least two years earlier! ”
As soon as he talked about state affairs, Yingzheng's self-proclaimed self-proclaimed involuntarily changed from "me" to "me".
"Because he has a heart for rebellion."
Zhao Ji interjected at the right time, and with a word, the First Emperor paused.
"If he doesn't tell you, he wants to make you unable to resist and crush you in one fell swoop when he rebels."
"I have no way of knowing these things, so how did my mother know about them?"
"When you first ascended the throne ten years ago, the military and political power were controlled by Lu Buwei, and what you know is not through your mother. Qi Nian Palace mutiny, and the people who knew the inside story were all dead except for the mother, Mengfu, and Wang Qi. The people who know about this are gone, how do you know? ”
The First Emperor nodded, and the originally shocked and inexplicable look on his face almost dissipated.
The First Emperor of the Ages resumed his expression management and said with a smile: "Based on my mother's dictation, I can conclude that these three artifacts are not difficult to make. I ordered the public to lose during the day, and the Mo family made horseshoes, saddles, and stirrups, and the Shaofu could send them to me without waiting for the evening.
"Although I have not been to Yongdi many times over the years, there are also many of them. I go there at least three or four times a year, and my mother doesn't tell me once. Could it be that my mother also has objections? ”
Zhao Ji was angry and was about to speak.
The First Emperor took Zhao Ji's hand and said with a smile: "It's all a joke, Mother Mo takes it to heart."
Zhao Ji shook the hand of the First Emperor, shook it twice and did not shake it off, and let the First Emperor hold it like this.
With a cold voice, he said, "That shaft won't let me talk to you,"
The First Emperor looked surprised and said with a smile: "This is strange. Mother has always wanted to kill Cheng Chan, why can she listen to Cheng Chan's words? Didn't you two set up another gambling contract? ”
Zhao Ji didn't have a smile on his face, and stared at the smile on the face of the First Emperor.
The First Emperor's smile stiffened and he retreated.
"I don't laugh."
"And he said, If I dare to say these things to thee, he will turn against him."
This...... It really seems like a frog can say it.
The First Emperor chuckled in his heart.
But Zhao Ji was afraid of laughing out and getting angry again, so she had to hide her true emotions.
Clenching Zhao Ji hard and starting to feel cold, the First Emperor also said with fear on his face: "Then why did Grandma tell me about this today?"
"Grandma is afraid that if you don't say it again, you won't have a chance to say it again, and grandma is afraid that your death will not be clear."
Zhao Ji looked at the First Emperor carefully, as if he wanted to keep the First Emperor firmly in his heart.
"The assassin of the Vertical Sect must have entered the Xianyang Palace at this moment. Yue Nu's sword can't kill him, so he's going to kill me. ”
"Adult toads don't do that."
The First Emperor was serious.
It's serious in my heart, and it's serious on my face.
He tried his best to let his biological mother know that his words were true and reliable.
"Mother often assassinates Cheng Chan, but Cheng Chan never assassinates Ah Mu one day."
"That's because he knows I can't kill him!"
Zhao Ji Huo Ran got up, and slashed the teapot, teacup, phoenix crown, and old sword on the table with both arms on the ground.
Cracking sound~
Dingwolf hammer~
Ceramic teapots, teacup fragments scattered and shattered.
The tortoiseshell, jadeite, and glass inlaid on the phoenix crown are scattered.
Only the old sword was not shattered, and the weather-beaten scabbard was just a few more dusty sheaths.
Zhao Ji's emotions suddenly lost control, without warning, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
"When the first king was there, he was protected by the first king. The first king was not there, and he was protected by the Empress Dowager Huayang. The Empress Dowager Huayang is not there, and he is protected by Lu Buwei. At that time, there was no one in the Qin State who did not protect him!
"How did I assassinate him? It's harder to assassinate him than to assassinate him! If I can kill him, why gamble with him? How can he allow me to live to this day? You really think he's looking at your Yingzheng's face!
"Joke! How can the royal family have love! He wanted to see what else I could do, just like he had been pretending to be a vertical boy for fun in the past ten years, and he was having fun with me! ”
With two elbows on the table, Zhao Ji held her head in her hands and buried her head between her arms.
"But this time it's different, this time it's Yue Nu who made a move, and he almost died. He won't let me live anymore, he'll definitely come and kill me.
"He's going to kill me! What a legend, what a sword that guards the Yue Nu, waste! It's rubbish! It's all rubbish! ”
The First Emperor silently hugged Zhao Ji's back.
"Mother, don't be afraid."
"If you want your mother to feel at ease, you will take all the soldiers and horses from Xianyang to Chang'an Jun's Mansion and bring the body of Yingcheng to your mother."
"I can't do it."
The First Emperor said softly.
"I can't do it."
Whether it is as a brother or as an emperor, Ying Zheng will not kill Ying Cheng.
"Then you will watch your mother die!"
Zhao Ji's voice burst out from between her arms, a little dull, a little hoarse.
"None of you will die."
The First Emperor straightened Zhao Ji's body, looked at Zhao Ji's pale face, and said, "Mother, this matter has passed, can you not assassinate Cheng Jihu?"
"I've told you so much! Why do you still trust that shaft so much! I'm your mother! I'm going to hurt you! I'll lie to you! ”
Zhao Ji shouted sharply in her voice.
"Mother!"
Ying Zheng grabbed Zhao Ji's arms on both sides, shook them vigorously, wanted to calm down his mother, and shouted loudly: "This matter has been revealed, will you assassinate Cheng Chan!"
Zhao Ji's face turned pale, but her words were still firm and powerful.
"Yes! Of course I would! As long as he doesn't die! When he wants to be king one day, he will cut you off the throne! ”
Ying Zheng was irritable and said urgently: "He is willing to be the king, and I will give way, so why do I need to fight each other......"
Syllable~
The slap was loud and crisp.
