Chapter 405: Brother Auxiliary Machine, how do you think you should reward him?
The horse's hooves stepped on the bluestone in front of the hall, making a crisp sound.
Seeing the horse's brisk steps and no unusual reaction, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji couldn't help but look at each other and secretly clenched their fists.
This is related to the imperial court’s annual expenditure of more than 100,000 yuan!
The little eunuch pulled the horse over, and Li Shimin flew up.
After tentatively walking back and forth in front of the temple, and seeing that he didn't seem to feel anything unusual, he confidently urged the horses to gallop briskly in front of the temple.
The crisp sound of horse hoofbeats sounded to Li Shimin's ears as if he were hearing fairy sounds, and the joy on his face could no longer be concealed.
"Come here, scatter gravel——"
Li Shimin reined in the reins excitedly and looked back at Changsun Wuji who was standing aside, stroking his beard and beaming with joy.
"Send me my spear as well. I haven't practiced martial arts for a long time. Today I just take this opportunity to exercise my skills——"
"Your Majesty, we don't know yet how effective this horseshoe is. You can't put yourself at risk - come down quickly and let me come -"
As he said that, Changsun Wuji wanted to come over and snatch the horse.
Li Shimin couldn't help laughing.
"Brother Auxiliary Machine, please don't underestimate me. Although I haven't raised a gun and rushed into battle for a long time, I haven't put down much effort. Your skills - it's better to watch from the sidelines..."
Changsun Wuji:......
Are your skills amazing?
If he couldn't stop him, he wouldn't stop him. Changsun Wuji quickly ordered the guards on his left and right to be ready for rescue at any time.
After scattering the gravel, Li Shimin urged his horse and trotted briskly twice. Seeing nothing unusual, he opened his stance and quickly charged left and right.
Seeing the war horses galloping left and right on the gravel-strewn ground, all the guards could not help but secretly break into a cold sweat and tensed their nerves.
They are all elites selected from the army, so they naturally know the dangers involved.
But soon, they opened their mouths involuntarily.
If it had been an ordinary war horse, its hoof would have been injured by now.
This horse——
fine!
Is it possible that the hooves are made of iron?
Although Li Shimin thought he was very good when he first rode up and could fight for at least 300 rounds, it turned out that he was really not very good at it.
In less than a cup of tea, I was so tired that I was out of breath and my back ached.
He tightened the reins, and with the help of Changsun Wuji, he jumped off the horse, leaning on his spear, and panting——
Changsun Wuji:......
Ah, that's it?
"I haven't carried a gun for a long time. I didn't expect that my physical strength has declined so much——"
Li Shimin touched the sweat on his forehead, sighed, and then personally bent down and lifted up the hoofs of the war horse.
In perfect condition!
Li Shimin clenched his fists excitedly.
"Zi'an, this brat, is really my lucky general - come here, Duan Lun, the Minister of Recruitment, is here to meet -"
We must make horseshoes with all our strength immediately, and strive to equip all the war horses of Datang with suitable horseshoes in the shortest possible time.
From then on, the generals of the Tang Dynasty no longer had to worry about the old man under their crotch, who would stumble due to an injured horse's hoof while fighting. The generals of the Tang Dynasty no longer had to worry about the damage to the horses in their army, which would affect their combat effectiveness.
As a result, the imperial court will reduce its huge annual expenditure of more than 100,000 yuan.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin became more and more happy.
"Brother Auxiliary Machine, tell me, Zian has made such a great contribution this time, how should I reward him..."
Changsun Wuji suddenly didn't want to talk.
Fortunately, Li Shimin just asked casually and did not force him to answer.
"You said that we have just been granted the title of Marquis a few days ago. It is not appropriate to mention the title, nor is it appropriate to give him the title of his future heir. We are not married yet, and we have already promised the titles to our two sons. It would be a bit inappropriate to grant him the title again.
It’s unbelievable, but his future wife’s destiny has also been announced…”
Li Shimin was counting on his fingers and muttering quietly.
Changsun Wuji:......
Your Majesty, you are going too far——
But this piece of shit like Wang Zi'an has reached this point without even realizing it?
Although it seemed that he was just a marquis, he knew that this was just His Majesty's method. With this boy's favor and ability to trouble things, not to mention the Duke, I am afraid that the County King may not have no chance.
"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion -"
After thinking about it, Changsun Wuji coughed lightly and looked at Li Shimin.
"tell me the story--"
Li Shimin took the wet towel handed by the waiter next to him, wiped his face, and looked at Changsun Wuji with interest.
"As the saying goes, a tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. The Marquis of Chang'an has become too popular now, which is probably not a good thing. I think that for the long-term plan of the Marquis of Chang'an, it is not appropriate to have any big rewards in the short term..."
As Changsun Wuji spoke, he secretly looked at Li Shimin's expression. Seeing that Li Shimin was thoughtful, he knew that this was speaking to Li Shimin's heart and immediately smiled.
"But your Majesty is clear about rewards and punishments, and the Marquis of Chang'an must be rewarded for his merits. Since his future wife and son already have titles, why doesn't your Majesty posthumously title his parents..."
When Li Shimin heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.
"Brother Auxiliary Machine, this is indeed a good idea!"
It’s great to reward your parents!
Prince Anguang Zongyaozu has a good background, and he also has a good in-laws. From now on, his face will be better.
The key is to benefit but not—ahem, the key is to promote filial piety!
Yes, promote filial piety!
"Here comes a decree to appoint Prince An's father, the Marquis of Chang'an, as an admonishing official and Duke of Anle County, and to order the Ministry of Works to repair his tomb——"
…
At this time, Wang Zi'an did not know that his cheap father, whom he had never met, had transformed from an unknown small landowner in Wangwa Village, Wannian County, to an admonishing official of the Tang Dynasty and the Duke of Anle County.
At this time, he, Li Yuan, Pei Ji, Princess Changle and others had no home and went directly to the Western Market.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been to West Market.
Wang Zi'an looked around with interest.
Compared with the East Market, the West Market does not have so many row upon row of buildings, but it is more down-to-earth. There are three kinds of people, traffickers and pawns, people shouting and horses, all gathered together, it is really lively, which makes Wang Zi'an feel a little bit
The feeling of attending the New Year's Fair in my hometown when I was a child in my previous life.
There are vendors walking around the streets, craftsmen juggling in stalls, knights holding knives and swords and leading horses, and food stalls setting up stalls everywhere and shouting.
Unfortunately, most of the craftsmanship was not appreciated by Wang Zi'an, and he lost the desire to eat after just one look. On the contrary, Princess Changle and Li Yuan were quite vegetarian. The grandfather and grandson, one on the left and one on the right, ate
What a joy.
However, the two of them just wanted to keep it fresh. After taking a few bites and feeling that it didn't taste good, they handed it to beggars on the roadside or children passing by.
No one thinks it's dirty. In these days, if you have a stutter, thank God. There are so many bad things.
Take a look in the east, wander around in the west,
A few people were wandering aimlessly when Wang Zian, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and turned his attention to the street.
