After Jia Quan finished speaking, Huang Qiong couldn't help but be stunned. After thinking about it for a while, I realized that what this guy said was not unreasonable. I have been staying quietly in the mansion these days. This is not like a person who has stayed in the cold palace for eighteen years. It can be said that he has been living in a small cold palace since he was born. They say that young people become mature, but no matter how you say it, you will never become this mature.
Especially now that he is in his "prime" age, it is a bit abnormal to stay in the house all day long. Although he was consciously showing weakness, in the eyes of his father, especially the prince, he might not necessarily think so. What Jia Quan said is right, what he did was indeed a bit too much.
Being young and mature refers to how one behaves and treats others. It does not mean that a young person really has no ideas and cannot do anything. During his eighteen years in the cold palace, he had indeed not been raised as an idiot. But a young man who had just left the palace and had never seen anything actually stayed at home so honestly. In the eyes of some people, there is indeed a perception that anything abnormal is a monster.
What's more, when I consciously show weakness, others don't really let me go, and there is no ambiguity when it's time to take action. He even used himself to show his self-protection attitude and wanted to turn himself into a pawn in the overt and covert fight between them and the prince. Others have already knocked on the door, so why should I continue to pretend?
Although it doesn't mean that he will fight back brazenly, there is no need to retreat like this. Just like what Jia Quan said, as long as he doesn't go to places like gambling houses and gourmet courtyards, he should behave more like the young people of this era who have no worries about food and clothing. It's impossible to become a playboy, but some things should change.
Just as Jia Quan said, just do whatever you want, blindly escaping will not solve any problem. I want to show others a harmless face, but some people just don't want to let me be in peace. On his first day out of the palace, he secretly started to punish himself. It can be seen that sometimes honest people are also a thorn in the eyes of some thoughtful people, or people who can be taken advantage of.
Thinking of this, Huang Qiong stood up and looked at Jia Quan in front of him, then turned to look at the maids and eunuchs outside the study. After pondering for a long time, he said: "Sir, what you said is not wrong. I did do this before." It's too much, and I know that I should do this in the future. This change will start from practicing horse riding as you said."
After saying that, Huang Qiong looked at Jia Quan, who looked happy after hearing his answer. After hesitating for a moment, he bowed deeply to Jia Quan and said, "Sir, you really have some unique insights when it comes to looking at some issues. Today's teachings from you can be said to be better than ten years of reading. I even feel enlightened. Mr. He is a man of great talent and can be said to be unparalleled in the country."
"For today's matter, I can be said to be lucky to have my husband help me. I feel like I am even more powerful than a tiger. Today, my husband treats me with sincerity. In the future, the king of Japan will treat me as a national scholar. In the future, I also hope that my husband will know everything about me." As long as you keep your words, this king will definitely accept your advice with an open mind."
Seeing Huang Qiong bowing deeply, Jia Quan, who just now felt a little proud that Huang Qiong accepted his advice, was shocked. Before he could stop him, Huang Qiong changed his name. He opened and closed his mouth as Mr., which made him even more flattered. He quickly stood up, saluted Huang Qiong and said: "Quan, how can you be so virtuous? How can you deserve it?" Is the prince such a great gift?"
"My lord, although you are young, you are far less domineering than other princes, and you are more willing to listen to these unfavorable words of advice. Before you met the prince, Quan was just a poor scholar. To be favored by the prince, Quan is already a great person. I am lucky in my three lives. Now I have to meet the Lord Ming again. Although Quan cannot say that he will die in the future, he will definitely devote himself to making suggestions for the prince."
Huang Qiong has been half-fighting and half-pulling these days, and taking advantage of today's discussion with Jia Quan to gain momentum, it can be said that he has gained Jia Quan's loyalty. But whether Jia Quan really gained Huang Qiong's trust is basically still in a state of ambiguity. It can't be said that he doesn't trust him, but he can say that he trusts him wholeheartedly. At least Jia Quan has not yet reached that level in Huang Qiong's heart.
It's not that Huang Qiong is too suspicious, it's that in his previous life, he was betrayed and even murdered by the people he loved and trusted the most except his parents and family. Now, except for his mother and Chen Yao in this life, he hardly dares to trust anyone easily. . Coupled with the current situation and the ancestral suspicion of the Huang family in his generation, Huang Qiong is still somewhat worried.
There was no complete trust, but Huang Qiong still admired Jia Quan's suggestions and ideas for solving the problem. As for how to talk to King Yong, he was not too anxious. Since Jia Quan believes that now is the last calm period before the storm, it is better not to break this final calm for the time being.
As for opportunities, Huang Qiong thinks there are plenty of them. At least until he found a safe and reliable place to talk, Huang Qiong didn't want to talk to King Yong about this matter for the time being. His own mansion is now a colander, and if this kind of thing happens in King Yong's place, it probably won't be much better than his own place.
Huang Qiong, who has been familiar with history books for both generations, knows these old sayings: "If you are not secretive to the king, you will lose your country; if you are not secretive to your ministers, you will lose your identity; if you are not secretive to a few things, you will be harmed." These old sayings are familiar and recited by heart. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong turned to Jia Quan and said, "Sir, since I have mentioned that in some matters, I have done too much and it is not enough."
"I think that what you said is reasonable. So how about we start correcting it from today? You must be exhausted from observing filial piety these days, so you can accompany me and go out for a walk today. The scenery of this capital. Sir, you are right. Although I have lived in this capital for eighteen years, I have never seen what the capital looks like."
When he heard that Huang Qiong wanted to go out for a walk with him, Jia Quan didn't react for a while. Weren't we just discussing how to solve the incident this time? Why did we suddenly switch to going shopping? This jump was too fast, catching Jia Quan somewhat off guard. But it was Jia Quan after all. Although he was caught off guard, he immediately realized what Huang Qiong meant and nodded with a smile.
In addition to a bodyguard, the two of them also brought a young servant that Chen Yao bought from Ren Yazi. This servant, who seemed to be gentle and gentle, but somehow ended up being sold into slavery, was recommended to Huang Qiong by Jia Quan. But after seeing this person, Huang Qiong laughed it off.
In Huang Qiong's opinion, Jia Quan must have seen his own shadow in this young man from the past few days. In addition, this young man seems to be a scholar, so he probably feels pity and just wants to recommend some to himself. Huang Qiong didn't care about Jia Quan's little thoughts.
After the group left the house, Huang Qiong did not go anywhere else. I just asked the guard next to me where the horse market in the capital was and then went all the way there. It's not that Huang Qiong wants to ride a horse now, but Jia Quan's words just reminded him of something. He had already negotiated with Chen Yao, and Chen Yao went to recruit people for him in the name of visiting relatives.
It’s a tiring journey, and having a good horse will definitely save a lot of energy. At critical moments, it might even save lives. Huang Qiong had heard about the famous horse savior in ancient times more than once. With Chen Yao's skills, it doesn't matter whether he can save his life or not. But having a good horse can really ease Chen Yao's fatigue on the road.
Although there are several royal horses in his house that were rewarded by his father, it is inconvenient for Chen Yao to ride one of these royal horses, and it is easy for someone to catch him. At one point, when those royal horses were brought back. Huang Qiong once heard some of his guards, who must have been cavalrymen, murmuring that these horses were good horses, serious party horses, but it was a pity that they had been raised to waste.
For this reason, Huang Qiong, who did not understand the characteristics of horses that day and had never ridden a horse, went to his study to inquire about this person. Only then did I realize that no matter how good the horse is, it is run out, not bred. Horses, like people, require long-term activity to maintain physical endurance.
If a horse is not allowed to run for a long time and is simply kept in one place, no matter how good the horse is, it will be useless. Although the royal horses in the palace are all good horses that receive tribute from all aspects, there is no room in the palace for these horses to run. Secondly, I am afraid that no one dares to let these royal horses maintain a certain wildness and fast running ability.
These masters in the palace are all pampered and have delicate skin and tender flesh. What if this horse runs around and falls? Especially the emperor, who dares to let the emperor fall off his horse? Who can guarantee that the emperor's riding skills are excellent, or that the horse will not buckle when he is having fun? If the emperor gets a scratch from this, or even if Long Yu is a guest, not only will he be unlucky, but the whole family will also lose their heads.
Precisely because the people who might ride these horses are all nobles with unusual status, who dares to keep these horses wild? Since these horses were brought into the palace, they have been trained to walk as smoothly as possible. As for other things like running and jumping, no one would dare or even think about training them.
Just look at the fat horses that were brought here and you will know that these horses cannot run at all now. However, if it is trotting or simply used as a means of transportation, it is much more stable than an ordinary horse. As for the nature of these horses, they have long been lost. Because of knowing this, Huang Qiong made up his mind to choose a good horse for Chen Yao before Chen Yao set off.
When we came to the horse market, Huang Qiong, who had been born for two generations and was well-informed, was seeing such a large livestock market for the first time. Instead, she looked around like a curious baby. He knew what a horse looked like, but Huang Qiong was confused as to what was a good horse and how to tell if a horse was a thousand-mile horse.
After all, horses are not the luxury cars he was used to seeing in his previous life, and they all have obvious signs. You can't tell whether a horse is good or bad by looking at its appearance. There is no doubt that most of the horses with short stature are drag horses. But it may look like a tall horse, but it may not be a good horse.
Because it has always controlled the Hexi Corridor, the best horse-producing areas in China throughout the ages, the surrounding areas of Qinghai Lake and Longyou, and the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun. Therefore, since the establishment of the Qi Dynasty, there has never been a shortage of horses. Whether it is civilian riding horses or military war horses, there are always enough, Huang Qiong knows this.
In particular, the quality of the Hexi horses produced in the Hexi Corridor and the Dangxiang horses produced in Longyou are even better than the Khitan horses used on a large scale in the Northern Liao Dynasty, which was always known for its cavalry, which are also the Mongolian horses of later generations. But it was the first time for Huang Qiong to see the horse market of this era, and she was still dazzled by the various and numerous horses in front of her. She felt like she had nowhere to start.
