Chapter 14: Promote the Dou Xiaomin

The little beauty stood there gracefully, and under the gaze of everyone, she lowered her head slightly, and a faint smile hung on the corner of her mouth. She seemed respectful and generous. Although she stood there without saying anything, her temperament and gracefulness gave people a bright feeling that could not be ignored.

Wei Chi glanced at His Majesty Li Er. His Majesty Li Er's expression was as usual, without any emotion and thoughts leaking. He smiled and said with a faint smile: "Mei Niang, can you tame this horse?"

The little beauty named Mei Niang gave a little blessing and said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty, I have a way."

Everyone present looked at her with interest and talked a lot. They didn't understand what so many burly men could not do. What kind of girl could do, could she, a little woman, could tame the horse. His Majesty Li Er was also very curious and asked with a smile: "Oh, what's the trick of Mei Niang?"

The little beauty talked: "Your Majesty, I need three things. As long as I have these three things, I will definitely be able to tame the horse."

Everyone was surprised to hear it and looked at her. His Majesty Li Er asked, "What three things?"

Mei Niang said, "Your Majesty, Mei Niang needs iron whips, iron spoons, daggers."

Everyone was puzzled, and His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and asked, "I have never heard of these three things that require training horses, how can I solve them?"

Mei Niang said proudly: "First use a whip to beat it, if you don't accept it, use iron to hit the head, and then it won't work. Use a dagger to cut the throat and kill it." After saying that, a little proud look appeared on her beautiful little face.

His Majesty Li Er stared at her quietly, nodded slightly, and could not see any sadness and joy. There was a buzzing sound below. Wei Chi looked quietly. Now it was confirmed that this little beauty was the famous one. However, now it seems that she has not enough experience and cunning. If the little beauty now had the scheming and scheming that she would become the emperor in the future, she would understand what kind of woman His Majesty Li Er liked, and would understand that no matter how good this method was, she should not say it at this time. Even if she was anxious to stand up, she could not say it. At this moment, the little whip was held in Wei Chi's arms suddenly said, "Little horse is so pitiful. It hurts to be beaten by a whip, right? Can you not stop hitting it?"

It was quite quiet at this time. Although Yizi's voice was not loud, the child didn't know how to lower his voice, so he still heard it according to the usual volume. At this moment, Wei Chi had a cold sweat and it was too late to cover her mouth. By the way, offending Wu Meiniang is not a good thing.

"My rhino is so good! Come, come to my father!"

His Majesty Li Er laughed and took Wei Zi from Wei Chi's arms, and said with a smile: "I have been skilled in archery, horse riding and shooting. When I was young, I went out to fight with the Emperor. Back then, it was said that I had been with the horse for longer than my wife and children. On the battlefield, horses were the second life of soldiers! I like horses and like to raise horses. After ascending the throne, I raised many good horses in the Imperial Horse Supervisor. When I had time, I would take them out for a long walk."

Everyone did not understand why His Majesty Li Er suddenly said this, and they all looked at him together. His Majesty Li Er smiled slightly, with nostalgia, and looked softly in a certain direction, and then said, "One day, a horse died in my horse prison. That horse was my beloved thing. I loved it very much and died suddenly without illness. I was very angry and thought that the horse-raising palace servant did not take good care of my horse, and I wanted to kill him! The queen knew it and told me that Duke Jing of Qi killed someone with a horse. Yan Zi asked to count his crimes: "Your horse-raising death is one crime. If the people hear it, they will blame my king. You will be two crimes. The princes will hear it and will be underestimated by our country, and you will be three crimes." The Duke released his crime. Your Majesty once read this and saw this, how could he forget the evil? I heard it and realized my mistake and pardoned the people of the horse-raising palace servant."

The ministers nodded repeatedly and congratulated in unison: "Your Majesty is wise, and the Empress is wise."

His Majesty Li Er smiled and said to Yizi in his arms: "Yizi should remember what kind of person your mother is, and to become such a virtuous and virtuous woman in the future, do you know?"

Xuzi smiled innocently and said, "Xizi likes the queen of mother the most, and his father the most. Xuzi wants to be a person like the queen of mother."

Wu Meiniang's face turned pale, she lowered her head, bit her lip, and whispered: "What Your Majesty taught me is that I know my mistake."

His Majesty Li Er just glanced at her lightly and said, "Go down, this horse is given to you. I hope you can correct your mistakes and cultivate your mind and cultivate your virtue."

"Yes, your Majesty."

Wu Meiniang, who made a brilliant appearance, left the stage sadly with the accompaniment of sad music. Wei Chi took a closer look and her eyes looked red. Alas, she was still too young. She just wanted to make a name for herself to fight for power, but she just wanted to show off. She was suffering a loss? I wonder if His Majesty Li Er likes a woman who is both internal and external like Empress Changsun? Wei Chi is sympathetic to the bright little beauty in the future.

Thinking of the future toughness of the beautiful woman, Wei Chi subconsciously glanced at Li Zhi. This kid was fine. He actually stared at the red horse and became a great god. His mind obviously didn't pay attention to what had happened just now. He had hesitation in his eyes. It seemed that there was something undecided. Look at the horse and then look at Wu Meiniang. His eyes were certain, and he seemed to finally make up his mind to walk to Wu Meiniang, salute, and said, "Wu Cairen stayed."

Wu Meiniang stopped and turned back to greet her: "What are the instructions of His Highness King Jin?"

Li Zhi said: "Can you give the horse to me? I will talk about it when my father is there."

Wu Meiniang's smile seemed to be self-deprecating, and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty gave me a horse to me, so that Meiniang can reflect on her."

Li Zhi smiled embarrassedly and said, "I know, but, I think, if such a good horse is about a stable, wouldn't it be like driving a horse with a thousand-mile horse? A good horse should have a good horse's home. Such a fierce horse can only show its majesty if it gallops on the broad grassland."

The two of them were talking here without avoiding others, so everyone present heard their conversation. Some of them nodded and some shook their heads. His Majesty Li Er looked at Li Zhi, which was very complicated and indescribable. Wei Chi was very pleased. Li Zhi was born to be kind and filial, with a gentle and gentle personality. He could be a good son, but not a good emperor. This was good. At least, the situation of brothers fighting would not happen again.

Wu Meiniang agreed, and Li Zhi turned to beg his emperor's father. His Majesty Li Er couldn't bear to refute Li Zhi's kindness, so he agreed to give the red horse to Li Zhi. However, Li Zhi called the horse to take away, and stayed for a few days before releasing it to the wild.

After the horse training storm, hunting was back on the right path. A group of big men, hunting and having fun, were in high spirits anyway. Wei Chi's life was quite boring, but Li Zhi's life was very comfortable. For the sake of horses, he was praised by his empress. This brat grew up with Empress Changsun since childhood. He was closer to his mother than to his father. It seemed that his mother's praise was more pleasing than the praise of his emperor's father.

Sometimes Wei Chi would also think about how to maintain parent-child relationships under this polygamy system? People like His Majesty Li Er who are busy with government affairs cannot personally discipline their sons and daughters. In contrast, the children's mothers have more and more close contacts with the children, and relatively speaking, they have a greater impact on their children. Wherever they have the ability to distinguish, they only know how to rely on close relationships to accept the influence. No wonder His Majesty Li Er's huge children are mixed, and they are both good and bad. It is also difficult to be a father.

No matter how emotional he was, it was autumn in the wild, why were there mosquitoes? The tent was filled with the smell of cooling oil, and several bites were bitten on his arms and ankles. Not only him, many people were stared at. Fortunately, the effect of applying cooling oil was better than that of later generations, at least itchy. Wei Chi looked carefully and found that it was not a mosquito, but a black little black bug that was smaller than sesame seeds. This kind of bug hurts and itchy to bite people, so he could only find herbs to smoke it.

Wei Chi threw the sentence "I'll go out for a walk" and went to find herbs in the mountains. By the way, there were too many classes with students in the Department of Pharmacy, and they often went out to the wild to pick herbs and transplant them. Wei Chi now has a little skill in recognizing herbs. In addition, there are two young kids at home. In this era of no vaccination, I was afraid that mosquitoes would be infected with any disease. Wei Chi has always been very strict in preventing mosquitoes. He has a more thorough understanding of herbs that can smoke mosquitoes.

If you run to the mountain valley alone, of course, you have to take the guards to avoid encountering any wild beasts. Wei Chi considers himself a weak scholar with no power to tie a chicken. It is better to be low-key when you shouldn't show off.

I found a handful of herbs and thought about how to deliver them to Queen Changsun. After thinking about it, I would cut it finely first. It is more convenient to add it to the incense. After walking a few steps, I saw a man in yellow robe standing on a small pile of soil, pretending to be deep, Wei Chi looked embarrassed, and he could not avoid it: "See Your Majesty, Your Majesty is... watching the scenery? Uh... I won't bother you, I will take my leave first... Okay, I wonder if I am lucky to accompany Your Majesty to enjoy this beautiful autumn scenery?"

Wei Chi, who originally wanted to give up, looked at His Majesty Li Er, compromised with a backboneless attitude. He stood aside and accompanied him to blow the autumn wind and watch the autumn scenery. Who would have made him feel uncomfortable as the emperor of this country?

Wei Chi stood upright, lowered his head and held a handful of herbs in his hand. He wanted to imitate His Majesty Li Er to stand generously and heroically, but considering his current costume, he gave up. After standing for a while, His Majesty Li Er just stood quietly and looked into the distance. Wei Chi was not easy to speak, so he could only stand with punishment. After standing for a while, His Majesty Li Er suddenly said, "Wei Chi, in that distant overseas, the West, are there really the strange stories you have said?"

Wei Chi nodded quickly and said, "Your Majesty, of course there is one. This world is so big, and there are only a limited number of places we have been to. There are still many unknowns to explore and discover. I remember reading a sentence in the book before. I didn't think so before, but later I thought it made a lot of sense."

"What do you mean?"

"It's that sentence: the more you know, the more you feel that you are insignificant, the more you know, the more you don't know. Haha, I can't remember which philosopher said it."

Wei Chi scratched his head embarrassedly, laughed foolishly, and after laughing, he looked at His Majesty Li Er, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty is in a bad mood? Otherwise, at least we will go out for a walk? When we are in a bad mood, we may feel more comfortable riding a fast horse and blowing the air."

His Majesty Li Er smiled, frowned slightly, took out a splash from his sleeve, and signaled Wei Chi to look at it. Wei Chi hesitated for a moment and took it over. Sure enough, his eyes were full of classical Chinese. With his current level, it was not enough to understand the meaning and emotions contained in it. He had to say with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, what, I don't understand it very much!"

His Majesty Li Er was suffocated and looked at him in a tangled manner for a while, and could only curse: "I don't learn anything but my skills!"

Wei Chi laughed strangely and didn't refute it. He was indeed unlearning. This is a fact. Although it is cruel, what we learned is different from the ancients, so there is no need to be inferior. His Majesty Li Er sighed slightly and said, "This is a memorial sent by Wei Zheng to me."

Wei Chi read it carefully again. Although he didn't say that he understood everything, he understood it a little. He slapped his head and remembered it. Isn't this the famous "Ten Comments on Wei Zheng's Advice of Emperor Taizong"? Uh... It seems that he is reasonable and romance-rich. Why does His Majesty Li Er feel depressed?

Wei Chi looked at His Majesty Li Er with a question mark on his face, but he did not ask wisely. This guy knew in his heart that the reason why His Majesty Li Er talked to him was because he was not in the court and had friendly relations with all parties, but he did not involve powerful relations. In addition, he was not an ambitious person, so it was said that his Majesty Li Er would talk to him at all, otherwise it would be strange if people would pay attention to him. The emperor's mind was the same as that of a girl, and it would be best if we didn't guess, guess, or guess.

His Majesty Li Er raised his head and said generously: "Since ascending the throne, I have worked hard to govern, pacify all directions, and subjugate the barbarians. The people of the world live and work in peace and contentment, and have done things that many emperors have not done in ancient times! Wei Zheng was right, he was always sober than others, and he pointed out my complacency in one word. How big is the world, what I want to do is not enough!"

Wei Chi giggled, a little dumbfounded. It seemed that he had been fooling around and blew up the thoughts of His Majesty Li Er. This man who spent most of his life on the battlefield may have a stronger desire to conquer than an ordinary emperor. It is terrible. However, this is also good. Anyway, he has so many wise ministers and generals under him. If he runs too far, there will always be someone to brake him. Wei Chi decided to continue to be his promotional minority, occasionally making a fortune, and continue to live a happy and peaceful life. Wei Chi smiled, remembering Wei Zheng, and suddenly remembering something, and secretly decided to talk to Old Man Wei after returning to Beijing.
