When Huang Feihu and Bigan heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other and then laughed.
Horses are livestock, how can they wear shoes, let alone wear iron shoes. Such an absurd idea can only be thought of by this extravagant and stupid tyrant!
"What, can the Zuo Prime Minister and King Wu Cheng do not believe what I said? If you don't believe it, how about we make a bet?"
When Emperor Xin heard the sound, he looked at Bigan and Huang Feihu playfully, and said lightly.
"We are ministers, how dare we bet with the monarch? However, since the king has such a good mood, it is okay to bet. However, I don't know what kind of bet you want to make..."
Upon hearing this, Bigan looked at Huang Feihu, and found that his eyes were full of eagerness to try, and then quickly changed his mind and said.
"My thoughts are like the left prime minister. If the king has such a good mood, I am willing to take a gamble with the king."
When Huang Feihu heard the sound, he hurriedly replied.
He and Bigan suffered countless losses in the hands of Di Xin. They had long wanted to find an opportunity to win a game back. Now they finally got such an opportunity, so they naturally didn't want to miss it.
After all, wearing a pair of iron shoes on a horse can be better than a horse without iron shoes. This sounds so ridiculous.
No matter how you look at this kind of bet, it is definitely a sure win.
"The bet is very simple. If I lose, from now on, the left prime minister and King Wucheng will say whatever they say. Even if the army returns to the court now, even if they restore the sacrifice to the gods, or no longer restore the free body of the slaves..."
Emperor Xin looked at Bigan and Huang Feihu's expectant eyes and chuckled. After a faint sentence, he saw that their eyes became brighter and their breathing became rapid. Then he changed his tone and said, "However, if I win, you two will take out their respective fiefs and hand them over to me, and I will divide them. In addition, all the slaves saved in your mansion will be released to restore their freedom! How about it, I wonder if you dare to gamble?"
Bigan and Huang Feihu not only have a respectable status, but also the largest slaveholder and military farmer in Chaoge City. Whether it is Di Xin's abolition of slavery or the decisive land of Mei Bo, they all touched the fundamental interests of these two people. It would be difficult to carry out the matter without taking away the fields and slaves in the hands of these two people.
Therefore, he wanted to take advantage of this bet to take down the slave and field in Bigan and Huang Feihu's hands, so that these two guys will not only become the second five-child in the eyes of the conservatives, but also make them lose their strong financial and manpower and become the commander of the bare hands. From then on, they will either obey the order or withdraw from the stage of history.
As expected, after Emperor Xin released his bold statement, Bigan and Huang Feihu immediately hesitated.
The slaves in each family have tens of thousands of people. As for the fields, there are countless slaves. These slaves and fields worship not only their family, young and old, but also their tribe members. If they lose the bet, then it will not only be the conservatives who despise them, but the same tribes want their lives.
"What? Could it be that Zuo Prime Minister and King Wu Cheng dare not bet? Or, you think the bet is not enough. If this is the case, I am adding some bets. If I lose, I will double your land and slaves. Of course, the five-colored divine cows will also return the original items! How about it?!"
Di Xin looked at the hesitant look of the two of them, smiled loudly and said.
"Since the king is so generous, then I'll bet with the king!"
Bigan and Huang Feihu heard the sound and looked at each other. After a glorious and brilliant light appeared in the depths of their eyes. They gritted their teeth and said in a deep voice.
It has to be said that the conditions offered by Emperor Xin are really tempting. Once they win, the previous conservatives' rejection of them will no longer exist, and the benefits they can get are even more amazing.
Not to mention, there are the five-colored divine cows that Huang Feihu is thinking about.
Licking the Niu Warrior, in order to get Niu Niu back to his side, it is worth it no matter what he does!
Of course, the more important reason is that they determined that Di Xin would definitely lose this big bet.
How can a horse wearing iron shoes run faster than a normal horse?!
I'm afraid that only a foolish monarch like Di Xin who has no experience in the industry and is extravagant and stupid can have a whimful idea!
At this moment, both of them couldn't help but wonder whether the reason why Emperor Xin did this was that he could not beat Mei Bo and wanted to return to the court, but he was afraid that he would go back so shamelessly and had no face, so he lost to them by betting and asked them to propose it.
"Right Prime Minister, please hold the pen and write this bet. Then, I and the Left Prime Minister, King Wucheng, sign their own name again, so that some people will not admit their conscience if they lose, or some people say that this is forcing the Left Prime Minister and King Wucheng to make a bet!"
When Emperor Xin heard this answer, he was immediately overjoyed, then waved to Shang Rong and said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Shang Rong immediately wrote a contract letter, saying that it was Di Xin, Bi Gan and Huang Feihu who voluntarily started the bet without any coercion. He also wrote the bet on it, and finally handed it over to Di Xin, Bi Gan and Huang Feihu and signed his own name.
After writing his name on the bamboo slip, Di Xin looked at the undried ink traces and couldn't help but chuckled repeatedly, but he thought to himself, if he found a place to bury the bamboo slip, he would bet by someone several years later and see that he and Bi Gan and Huang Feihu were more likely to think that he was a fool, and that Bi Gan and Huang Feihu were just slanderous ministers?!
However, then again, it seems that it would be an interesting thing to transform Bigan and Huang Feihu from Erwuzai into a slander who obeys him, the so-called "tyrant".
Thinking of this, Di Xin's eyes when he looked at Bigan and Huang Feihu couldn't help but become playful.
The strange look made Bigan and Huang Feihu shudder. After trembling, they suddenly seemed to have a certain idea that they had signed a contract that was not a bet, but a contract to sell themselves to Di Xin.
Illusion, yes, this must be an illusion!
"The king wants to make a bet with King Wucheng to put on a pair of iron shoes for the horse and to run faster!"
"Wear a pair of iron shoes and you can run faster, so why not give us a pair too!"
"The king will win, let alone iron shoes, even gold shoes, I think the winner in the end must be the king!"
At the same time, when Xuanfeng Army heard that Emperor Xin and Bigan and Huang Feihu made a bet, they also became excited, and they were all clamoring and shouting endlessly.
Emperor Xin looked at the Xuanfeng Army and couldn't help but shake his head slightly. Although these soldiers aroused morale, they were still much worse than those soldiers in later generations. Not to mention resolutely obeying orders and obeying orders, it would be difficult for them to not speak nonsense.
It seems that if you have the chance, you have to practice these guys well, and you have to get them organized, including slogans and other slogans.
After all, invincible army, in addition to its super strong military power, discipline is the most important.
I don’t want to reach the steel army that overcomes all obstacles and walks out of blood and fire in the future, at least, it should be like that!
However, Di Xin also understood that although these guys were known as soldiers, they were actually just slaves and could not force too much at the moment. They could only make a long-term plan, so they simply stopped and took advantage of the opportunity to make a bet to rest for a while.
Not only these soldiers, Kong Xuan also looked at Di Xin with great interest, wanting to see if Di Xin could put this wonderful idea into practice.
Even the quasi-saint, he felt that it was a bit whimsical that Emperor Xin put on iron shoes on the horses and wanted them to run faster without cracking their feet.
"Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan, I have to ask you one or two to help me refine four pieces of iron and make it like this!"
At this time, Di Xin pulled a horse and printed footprints on the ground, then stuck to a grass stick and drew a horse's hoof print with a smile, which was crescent-shaped, with several sharp objects on it, and said to Kong.
Is this the iron shoes for horses?!
Kong Xuan looked at the strange figures of things on the ground and was a little confused, but he nodded and grabbed a piece of stubborn iron.
If someone from later generations saw this scene, he would definitely find that the horseshoe drawn by Emperor Xin was a horseshoe, that is, a horseshoe!
This directly changed the entire horse war pattern. In this way, it quietly appeared on the prehistoric land more than 1,500 years ahead of schedule!
