Facing Zhao Ying's questioning, Zhao Wuxian couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, this Zhao Yingxian is really a hero, angry and the princes are afraid, not to mention his subordinates, only Dong Anyu and Yin Duo, the two old ministers, dare to touch his tiger beard.

Wuxi's performance was not bad, and his deputy Yu Yuxi and Mu Xia had already rolled off the saddle and dismounted, and their heads were on the ground.

Zhao Wuxian pondered his tone and said: "Father, Wuxian didn't have an order and couldn't be transferred to the chariot, so he made his own decisions and rode alone......

In the face of a strong Zhao Ying, it is not possible to hit hard, and it is absolutely right to lower your posture first.

Seeing that Zhao Wuxian bowed his head and admitted his mistake, his eldest son Bolu also took the opportunity to interject: "Wuxian is young and doesn't do anything, please don't punish him......"

Compared to Zhongxin and Shuqi, he is indeed a gentle and kind elder brother, and Zhao Wuxian can only remember it in his heart and be secretly grateful.

But the position of the prince who originally belonged to Beru will be taken over unceremoniously, and he will not give up half a point!

Zhao Ying refused to stop there: "Wait for silence and let him continue to speak by himself." ”

At this time, Zhao Wuxian was thinking about countermeasures quickly in his heart, and the stories about Zhao Ying in his previous life flashed in his mind one by one, and he felt that he seemed to have grasped a certain key point.

The suzerain of the Zhao family, who was later respected as "Zhao Jianzi", was not a conservative old nobleman.

On the contrary, Zhao Ying is very studious and truly shameless in asking questions. He was the first secretary of the Jin State to promulgate written laws within his territory; He was also a reformer in China who claimed that slaves could also be rewarded and granted fiefs for their military exploits.

Alas, now that the matter has come to this, there is only one gamble.

He sorted out his thoughts and explained: "Father, the boy is out of order and guilty, but Wuxian doesn't feel that riding a horse alone is lowly and useless. On the contrary, I think it is more suitable for hunting and combat than chariots. ”

One stone startled a thousand waves, and the scholars and doctors all looked at their magnificent chariots, and then at the three single-riders who looked a little weak, and it was unbelievable.

Zhao Ying was also a little skeptical, it was not that he was conservative, after all, it would take three hundred years for cavalry to replace chariots.

Zhao Wuxian pointed to the saddle on the horse's back and said: "Father, please see, when Wuxian was in the stable, he had a whim and made this object, called the saddle, so that the rider can be as stable as a rock on the horse, and he will not easily fall off the horse if he lets go of his hands." ”

The more the little conspirator Uncle Qi listened, the more he felt bad, and with Zhao Wuxian's whip, things began to fall out of his expectations. He was calculating whether he wanted to say something, but Zhongxin, the second eldest of the Zhao family, who had been instilled with the theory of chariot superiority by his tutor and master since he was a child, was the first to listen to it.

Zhongxin pointed indignantly at Wuxian and rebuked: "Ridiculous! Hunting operations, with a dignified and upright division to set up the formation, Yu Rong, more shooting, car right three people perform their duties. This is a tradition since ancient times, as a gentleman of the Qing clan, you don't do your job, but you go to study the single riding harness, what kind of system does it become? ”

Zhao Wuxian retorted without humility or arrogance: "Brother Zhong's words are wrong, if Wuxian really doesn't care about horses and horses, then he will forget his ancestors." ”

"What kind of fallacy is this?"

"Brother Zhong, don't forget! What did my Zhao ancestors, Boyi, Fei Chang, and Zaofu, do? ”

Zhao Zhongxin suddenly became dumbfounded.

Boyi is an ancient ancestor surnamed Ying, because he is good at raising horses and livestock, he was promoted by Emperor Shun, given the surname Ying, and granted a fief; Fei Chang was a warrior of Yin Shang, good at driving, and once carried Tang Wu to participate in the battle of Mingtiao to destroy Xia Wei; Zhao Zaofu is the doctor of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Mu Tianzi went west to Kunlun Mountain, and when he met the Queen Mother of the West, he used him as the royal Rong, and it is said that he can go back and forth 20,000 miles in three days and three nights.

It can be seen that the history of the Zhao family is closely related to horses, and even the old relatives of the Zhao family, Qin Guoren, their ancestors also relied on Qin Feizi to herd horses for King Zhou Xiao.

This heir of the Zhao family looks down on the ancestor's housekeeping skills, isn't it "forgetting the ancestors".

Zhao Zhongxin was also good at Zhao's allusions, and he was so disgraced by the shirtless robbery that he had always looked down on, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Wuxian is very clear, compared to Zhongxin, he has to pass today, but Zhao Ying's level. He simply turned over on his horse again, holding his bow and gesturing left and right, showing several difficult movements.

"Father, please see, if you have a cavalry in the hunt, you can ride your horse over the ravines, climb the hills, rush through the obstacles, cross the rivers, and chase the prey, why not?"

When he said this, Wuxian peeked at Zhao Ying's face, and found that his beautiful beard was not shaking, and it seemed that his anger had dissipated, and he was looking at the saddle and the shirtless on the horseback with interest.

In fact, at the beginning, Zhao Ying was ready to come over and teach this disorderly lowly son a good lesson, and even wanted to tear him off his horse and tie him to the chariot and drag him for a while.

However, the next thing that happened to the young Wuxian was a loud and bold statement. The people of the Spring and Autumn Period are good at words and ambitions, and when Zhao Wuxian compared himself with Jin Wengong and Zhao Xuanzi, Zhao Ying began to look at this "cheap concubine" with admiration.

He didn't pay any attention to Zhao Wuxian in the past, and even had some disgust and alienation. But at this moment, the sturdy young man who rode a single horse, although he still had a childish baby face, had a high-spirited spirit, and it could be seen that he would definitely be a good warrior in the future.

Isn't it a bit like yourself when you were younger?

It is also thanks to the fact that he has paid little attention to Zhao Wuxian in the past ten years, and he is not clear about his temperament and speech, otherwise he will definitely be suspicious of his son's personality before and after.

At this time, Zhao Ying's heart of love for talent suddenly rose, but he was still a little unsure of what Zhao Wuxian said, so he lowered his head and asked his Yu Rong: "Ziliang, what do you think of what my concubine said is the Tao?" With only one harness replaced, can you have such an effect by riding a horse alone? ”

Although the Zhao family has been good at horses for generations, after all, after being a pampered doctor for hundreds of years, the ancestral stunt is a little rusty.

But the doctor is a professional who plays horses, known as the reincarnation of Bole, and is more familiar with the temperamental use of horses than the wives and concubines on his own bed.

Post Wuzheng, who had a bearded face, had been squinting his eyes just now, and he commented: "Lord, the little gentleman is right, the slow movement of the car formation is a disadvantage, and the fast and agile riding alone is an advantage. I think it is possible to use the knight as the eye of a large army, to reconnoiter and guard, to track the target of pursuit, and to attack the scattered prey enemy. ”

Seeing that the expert who played with horses, Yu Wuzheng did not deny Zhao Wuxian, and Zhao Ying also made a decision.

"In that case, you have made this saddle, which can be regarded as a small credit, and I will temporarily spare you for the crime of disorder!"

This time, it was Zhao Zhongxin's turn and his Yu Rong Cheng to be dumbfounded, and the matter was just revealed?

Wuxian breathed a sigh of relief, and finally fooled the cheap dad.

But how could Zhao Zhongxin, who was not convinced, give up?

He immediately asked Zhao Ying for his life: "Father, there is no evidence, and the true chapter can be seen above the hunting ground!" Which is better or worse than a ride, can I compete with the shirtless test? ”

This suggestion is in Zhao Ying's arms, and he wants to compete, so his four sons must participate! He took the bronze axle in his hand and began to direct the convoy.

"Jia Sima, listen to my orders and re-array. Bolu, you are the middle army, Zhongxin and Shuqi are the right moment, and Wuxian is the left moment. ”

"Since you boast so well of riding alone, let Gu see how much prey you can get, and if it is less than your brothers, don't blame your father for punishing it. Don't be humble to all three of you, and give me all the best I can to hunt down, and if I lose to a twelve-year-old boy, I'll go home hungry today!" ”

Everyone awe-inspiring promised: "Only! ”

Only Zhao Wuxian secretly complained in his stomach: "Actually, I turned thirteen in August......"

……

Song Guoda Sicheng Le Qi watched this scene from afar, he turned his head and asked his car right, and Chen Yin, who was also an important minister: "Zihu, what do you think of the Zhao family's master?" ”

Chen Yin, who was a tiger, looked at the Zhao team, which had quickly changed from scattered to orderly, and replied: "The servant thinks that if Zhao Ying is here, or his minister Dong Anyu is here, the Zhao family's division is a tiger wolf. If Zhao Ying is not there, and there is no good sect master to lead, the Zhao family will be a plate of scattered sand! ”

"Therefore, although Fan Ying is greedy and despicable, if the lord wants to turn to the Zhao family, according to the servants, it is too early......"

Le Qi sighed, this time he was on an envoy, he knew that the Jin State was in many ways, and the office was weak, so he was bound to not be able to protect the Song envoy. Once you set foot on the territory of the Jin Kingdom, you will become the object of competition among the forces of the Liuqing, and you have to make a choice among them, which is like entering the forest of arrows and swords, and if you are not careful, you will never recover.

Therefore, after his staff Gu Bu Ziqing calculated a bad fortune for this trip, he resolutely appointed his eldest son as the heir of the family.

And another retainer, Chen Yin's suggestion, is that we should pinch our noses and choose one of the strongest among the six qing.

It's just that among the six Qings, who is the strongest? Fan is currently in power, but he is old and does not know how many years he has to live; And Zhao Yingnian is in the prime of life and has a tough style, which should not be underestimated, but even if Fan Ying's death tomorrow, the ruling state of Jin is also a Zhishi, and it will not be his turn. The rest of the Bank of China, Han, and Wei, none of them are easy to fool. The situation in the Jin Kingdom is so complicated that it is as if it has been cut off by a heavy curtain, and it is impossible to see its face.

What's more, the Song Kingdom is also the only surviving duke in the world after Weizi, and Zhou Tianzi still treats each other as a guest, but now it has fallen to the point of serving foreign ministers? Before coming, Le Qi still had a trace of luck in his heart, hoping to repair the alliance with the Marquis of Jin in a dignified manner, and then bring this alliance back to Shangqiu, the capital of the Song Dynasty.

Who would have thought that as soon as they arrived in the Jin Kingdom, the Fan family and the Zhao family fought openly and secretly in the court, implicating the Song envoys. After Fan Ying lost the right to diplomacy, he poured his anger on them, and was stunned to prevent the Marquis of Jin from receiving the Song envoy. At this point, in order to complete the mission and return to China smoothly, Le Qi had to rely on Zhao's help.

At this time, Zhao Ying's chariot had already turned back, and he apologized: "The children are messing around, let Lebo see the joke." ”

Le Qi shook his head slightly at Chen Yin, saying that he had no choice, he and Zhao Ying said a few more modest words, and the two scholars entered the hunting ground side by side.

Zhao Ying ordered the Yu people, who were in charge of the hunting grounds, to sacrifice the mountain gods and water lords of this place with cattle, sheep, and pigs, and then blow the deer flute and start hunting.

He also ordered people to go to the area around the tomb of Jie Zitui to see if there was any whereabouts of Gu Bu Ziqing, a staff member of Lebo, and if he was still there, he would invite him to come to the banquet.

Yu Ren agreed, and came to Zhao Ying's side and said: "The lord came up just in time, this autumn fat deer fat, recently the servant also saw a white elk into the hunting ground, but unfortunately it is extremely vigilant, and it has not been able to catch it several times. ”

White elk? Xiao is Zhao Ying and Le Qi are well-informed, and they can't help but be moved when they hear it, this is a rare beast in the world!
