"Your Majesty is wise, and I have no objections."
The speaker was Old General Fan. In his early years, he fought in all directions and suffered from many hidden diseases. Now that he is old, the emperor thought of his hard work and merit, so he called him back to Kyoto to retire.
General Fan can be said to be the leader of the military generals. Although he is over sixty years old and has many hidden diseases, he usually looks like a strong old man.
He had long disliked this group of civil servants. For them, the generals didn't need to learn how to ride this thing as if it was just for fun.
As soon as General Fan's words came out, he quickly aroused opposition from the civil officials, and the civil and military officials immediately got into a quarrel.
Of course, there are many civil servants who want to use the topic to make the emperor take back his life.
They wanted to come up with a better solution than Jiahe County Lord, but too many cars and horses in the city has always been an eternal problem, and they really didn't have any good solution.
But since the emperor mentioned it, he had no intention of taking it back.
"okay."
The emperor's words were neither serious nor serious, and the noisy civil and military officials immediately stopped talking. There were still examples of house confiscations in the past, and they did not have the courage to test the emperor's patience.
"After the court is over, each of you will study with the Imperial Guard in the palace. I will only give you three days. Those who have learned will come to court, and those who cannot learn will directly retire and return home.
But I heard that Prince Anping learned it after only two quarters of an hour. "
After the emperor said these words, he gave the courtiers a slightly meaningful look, and then withdrew from the court.
But the courtiers could understand the emperor's look just now. If they didn't learn it within two quarters of an hour, then it wouldn't mean that they were not as good as the Anping County Prince who was born with mud legs. How could this work?
Although most of the civil servants were unwilling to do so, but with the emperor's words there, they still had to go down to court and pick up a wooden horse or tricycle to learn the imperial military skills from before.
General Fan was not convinced at all. He didn't even look at the three-wheeled tricycle and took a two-wheeled wooden horse.
The little waiter who brought the people over was still advising him earnestly.
"Old General Fan, you should just take this three-wheeled one. It's not safe to ride here. You always have dizziness. If you get dizzy one day while riding, then it's okay. Three-wheeled one." Be safer….”
The little chamberlain said all kinds of good and bad things, but General Fan was a stubborn man and couldn't listen to a word he said.
"Okay, if I get dizzy at worst, I won't ride. I can't walk to court."
Old General Fan pushed the two-wheeled wooden horse away. He wanted to learn how to ride this thing.
The military attachés took them away quickly, while the civilian officials took their time, but in the end they all took them away.
When I went to the Royal Forest Army to learn, the advantages of generals became apparent. The generals were in good physical condition, and most of them were good at riding horses. Learning this thing was really like playing. I quickly learned to ride out of the palace. Mainly today The emperor didn't say you couldn't ride this thing out.
The military generals all rode second-wheelers, and no one held a third-wheeler. The most important thing was that Old General Fan rode a second-wheeler, and several of the veterans in their fifties were too shy to take three-wheelers.
Another thing is that they also think that the two-wheeled ones are exciting to ride. As for the three-wheeled ones, they look like they are prepared for civil servants.
Every time something happened in the court, the side of the civil servants usually had the upper hand. This was the first time that they were at a disadvantage behind the generals. Everyone worked hard to learn, and at least they all learned it in the end.
However, some of the civil servants rode out of the palace just like the generals, and some were pushed.
As soon as they left the palace gate, this thing was pushed away by the attendants waiting at the palace gate. They didn't want to take a second look.
But when I got back to my house, I had to practice more, otherwise I would be embarrassed on the way to court in three days.
Soon, what the emperor said to the officials in the court spread among the people of Kyoto City. The people even praised the Anping County Prince and his family for their great kindness and always thinking about the people.
Some people thought about waiting until three days later to stand guard near the palace gate and watch the officials riding up on wooden horses. They had never seen it before.
Most officials went to court in horse-drawn carriages, and it was rare for the common people to see anyone. Now that they had the emperor's decree, they would be able to open their eyes in three days.
Three days later, various ministers came out of their homes and rode on the so-called wooden horses. This was a hardship for the servants following behind them. In the past, they could sit on the edge of the carriage and follow their master to the palace gate.
But now the master was riding but they were not, so they had no choice but to run behind.
The bicycle Zhou Yu had someone make did have a seat for people at the back, but she didn't mention it when she was teaching, and no one noticed that it was just empty.
Some ministers blushed when riding this thing on the street. They felt that they had never been so embarrassed in their lives.
This scene is really good in the eyes of the people who are waiting specially. They are not interested in the ministers, but they are very interested in the wooden horse the minister is riding. They don't pay attention to which minister is riding.
Thinking that it would be great if they could be sold in the city, they also went to buy a riding horse.
There was still some distance from the palace gate, and it was time for morning court again. On the road, there were only courtiers riding wooden horses and a panting boy running behind him.
General Fan has been practicing this thing at home these past few days, and now he is very familiar with it. Look, he can still hold the faucet with one hand and the other behind his back, not to mention that leisurely look.
Soon, General Fan noticed Mr. Cao Ge who was riding a tricycle in front of him, so he speeded up and kept pace with Mr. Cao Ge.
"I said, Old Man Cao, your body is not strong enough. You can ride a three-wheeler and still be out of breath."
Mr. Cao Ge was used to being pampered, and he was not very physically fit. After riding a tricycle for two quarters of an hour at the gate of the palace, he was already out of breath from exhaustion.
He was holding his breath and planning to go to the palace gate in anger. He didn't even want to talk to General Fan. He just thought he was farting, knowing that there would be no good words coming out of his mouth.
Not only could Old General Fan hold the dragon's head with one hand, he could also circle around Mr. Cao Ge. He circled around a few times and made some sarcastic remarks. Later, when he saw Mr. Cao Ge, he still ignored him and felt that he was boring.
"You ride slowly from behind. I will take a step ahead and wait for you at the gate of the palace."
After leaving a sentence, he suddenly accelerated his speed and rushed out.
Seeing Cao Ge riding a tricycle behind him, his teeth were itching. Such a scene of military generals teasing civilian officials has happened countless times on the street today. Most of the civilian officials were very angry, but there was nothing they could do.
Their bodies are not as good as those of military generals, and they can usually win with their words, but today it seems that nothing they say is right.
