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 still don't know how effective this horseshoe is. You can't put yourself in danger - come down quickly and let me come -"
Saying that, Changsun Wuji wanted to come over and grab the horse.
Li Shimin couldn't help laughing.
"Brother Auxiliary Machine, please don't underestimate me. Although I haven't raised my gun and charged into battle for a long time, I haven't put down much effort. With your skills - it's better to just 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 that there was 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 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!
Could it be 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.
Pulling the reins, with the support of Changsun Wuji, he jumped off the horse, holding the 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 and sighed, then he bent down and lifted up the horse's hooves.
In perfect condition!
Li Shimin clenched his fists excitedly.
"Zi'an, this stinky boy, is really my lucky general - come here, Duan Lun, the Minister of Recruitment, is here to meet -"
We must immediately make horseshoes with all our strength, and strive to have suitable horseshoes for all the war horses in Datang in the shortest possible time.
From then on, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty did not have to worry about the old man under their crotch, who would stumble due to an injured horse's hoof. The generals of the Tang Dynasty no longer had to worry about the damage to their horses, which would affect their combat effectiveness, and the court would also reduce its huge annual expenditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
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 unknowingly?
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 over by the waiter next to him, and while wiping his face, he 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 may not be 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 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.
I haven’t been to West Market for a long time.
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. People from all walks of life, traffickers and lackeys, people shouting and neighing, all gathered together. It was so lively that it made Wang Zianpo feel like he was attending the New Year's Fair in his hometown when he was a child in his 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.
It's a pity that most of the craftsmanship can't impress Wang Zi'an, and he loses the desire to eat after just one look. Princess Changle and Li Yuan, on the other hand, were quite vegetarian. The grandfather and grandson, one on the left and one on the right, ate happily.
However, the two of them just wanted to keep it fresh. After taking a few bites and feeling it didn't taste good, they handed it to beggars on the roadside or children passing by.
No one thinks it's dirty. In this day and age, those who stutter are thankful to God. There are so many bad things.
Take a look in the east, wander around in the west,
A few people were walking aimlessly when Wang Zi'an, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and looked towards the street.
