Spring and Autumn I Am King

Facing Zhao Yang's questioning, Zhao Wuxi couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. This Zhao Yang is indeed a hero, and the princes are afraid when he is angry, not to mention his subordinates, only two old officials, Dong Anyu and Yin Duo. Dare to touch his beard.

Wu Xie's performance was not bad, but his deputy Erjixi and Mu Xia had already dismounted from the saddle and bowed their heads on the ground.

Zhao Wu Xie considered his tone and said, "Father, Wu Xie has no talisman and was unable to transfer to the chariot, so he made his own decisions and came alone..."

In the face of the powerful Zhao Yang, it is impossible to face it head-on, so it is absolutely right to lower your posture first.

Seeing Zhao Wu Xie bowing his head and admitting his mistake, his eldest son Bo Lu also took the opportunity to interject: "Wu Xie is young and not a bad thing, please don't punish him..."

Compared to Zhong Xin and Shu Qi, he is indeed a gentle and kind eldest brother. Zhao Wuxi can only remember it in his heart, and is secretly grateful.

But he would take the position of the prince that belonged to Berlu without hesitation, and would not give half a cent!

Zhao Yang, however, was unwilling to give up: "Wait a minute and let him go on."

At this time, Zhao Wuxi was thinking about countermeasures quickly in his heart. The stories about Zhao Yang from the 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 clan, who was later honored as "Zhao Jianzi", was not a conservative old nobleman.

On the contrary, Zhao Yang is very eager to learn, and he is not ashamed to ask questions. He was the first minister of Jin to promulgate written laws in the territory; he was also a reformer in China who claimed that slaves who had military merit could also be rewarded and obtained fiefs.

Alas, as of now, I can only gamble.

He sorted out his thoughts and explained: "Father, the boy is out of order and guilty, but Wu Xie doesn't think that riding a horse alone is cheap and useless. On the contrary, I think it is more suitable for hunting and fighting than a chariot."

A stone was shocked by a thousand waves, and the scholars and officials all looked at their magnificent military chariots, and at the three seemingly weak single riders, it was unbelievable.

Zhao Yang also had some doubts. It wasn't because he was old-fashioned. After all, the replacement of chariots by cavalry took a long journey of three hundred years.

Zhao Wu Xie pointed at the saddle on the horse's back and said, "Father, please see, when Wu Xie was in the stables, he had a whim and made this object, called a saddle, from now on, the rider can be as steady as a rock on the horse and let go. The hands will not fall off the horse easily."

The little conspirator, Uncle Qi, the more he listened, the more bad he felt. With Zhao Wuxi's whip, things began to deviate from his expectations. He was trying to figure out if he wanted to say something, but Zhong Xin, the second son of the Zhao family who had been instilled in the theory of the superiority of chariots by his tutor and tutor since childhood, was the first to stop listening.

Zhong Xinyi pointed at Wu Xie angrily and scolded: "Ridiculous! In hunting battles, you should set up a formation with upright divisions, and three people, Yurong, Duoshe, and Cheyou each perform their duties. This is a tradition since ancient times. You are a gentleman of the Qing family. , not doing a proper job, but studying single riding gear, what kind of etiquette is it?"

Zhao Wu Xie retorted, neither humble nor arrogant: "Brother Zhong's words are not good. If Wu Xie really doesn't care about horses and harnesses, 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 lost his temper.

Boyi is the ancient ancestor of the surname Ying. Because he was good at raising horses and livestock, he was promoted by Emperor Shun, bestowed the surname Ying, and granted him a fief; Fei Chang was a warrior of the Yin and Shang dynasties, good at driving, and once carried Tang Wu to participate in the extermination of Xia Jie's Ming Tiao. Zhan; Zhao Zaofu was a doctor in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Emperor Mu traveled westward to Kunlun Mountain. When he met the Queen Mother of the West, he used him as the imperial army. It is said that he can travel 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, the Qin people, their ancestors also relied on Qin Feizi to breed horses for King Xiao of Zhou.

Isn't this Zhao's descendant looking down on his ancestor's housekeeping skills?

Zhao Zhongxin was robbed of the Zhao family's allusions, which he was good at, and was robbed of his face by Wu Xie, whom he had always looked down on, and he was speechless for a while.

Wu Xie is very clear. Compared with Zhong Xin, what he has to pass today is Zhao Yang. He simply turned on his horse again, gestured left and right with a bow, and showed several difficult movements.

"Father, please see, if you can have a cavalry soldier in the hunt, you can ride your horses across the ravines, climb the hills, rush over the obstacles, cross the river, and chase the prey, why not do it?"

When he said this, Wu Xie peeked at Zhao Yang's face, and found that his beautiful beard was no longer shaking. It seemed that his anger had dissipated. He was looking at the saddle and Wu Xie on the horse's back with interest.

In fact, at the beginning, Zhao Yang was going to come over to teach this chaotic **** a lesson, and even wanted to pull him off his horse, tied him to the chariot and dragged him for a while.

But then, the young Wu Xie said some powerful rhetoric. People in the Spring and Autumn Period have good words and aspirations. When Zhao Wuxi compared himself to Duke Wen of Jin and Zhao Xuanzi, Zhao Yang began to look at this "cheap son" with admiration.

In the past, he didn't pay any attention to Zhao Wuxi, even a little disgusted and alienated. But at this moment, the sturdy young man riding a horse alone, although he still has a childish baby face, has a high-spirited and uplifting spirit, and it can be seen that he must be a good warrior in the future.

Is it a bit like the self when you were young?

Fortunately, he has paid little attention to Zhao Wuxi for more than ten years, and he does not know his temperament and speech, otherwise he will definitely be suspicious of his son's dramatic change in personality.

At this time, Zhao Yang's love for talent suddenly rose, but he was still a little unsure about what Zhao Wuxi said, so he lowered his head and asked his Yu Rong: "Ziliang, my son-in-law said the truth, what do you think? With a piece of horse equipment, can you have such an effect by riding a horse alone?"

Although the Zhao family has been good at horses from generation to generation, after being a pampered doctor for hundreds of years, the ancestral stunts are somewhat unfamiliar.

But the doctor's post is not right, but he is a professional horse playing horse, known as Reincarnation Bole, and he is more familiar with the temperament and use of horses than his wives and concubines on his own bed.

You Wuzheng with a bearded face had been squinting his eyes just now, and he commented: "My lord, the little gentleman is right, the slowness of the car formation is a disadvantage, and the speed and agility of riding alone is a disadvantage. It is an advantage. I think it can be used as the eyes of the large army to scout and alert, track and pursue targets, and attack scattered prey enemies."

Seeing that the horse-playing expert You Wuzheng did not deny Zhao Wuxi, Zhao Yang also made a decision.

"Since that's the case, you've made this saddle, and it's a small credit, so I'll spare you the crime of disorder for the time being!"

This time, it was Zhao Zhongxin and his Yu Rongcheng's turn to be dumbfounded, and the matter was revealed in one stroke?

Wu Xie breathed a sigh of relief, finally fooling the cheap dad.

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

He immediately asked Zhao Yang for orders: "Father, there is no evidence, the real stamp can be seen above the hunting ground! Which one is better than riding, can you let me compete with Wu Xie?"

This suggestion is right in Zhao Yang's arms, and to test, all four sons must participate in it! He held a bronze tomahawk and began to command the convoy.

"Family Sima, listen to my orders and form a new formation. Bo Lu, you are the central army, Zhongxin and Shuqi are the right side, and Wu Xie is the left side."

"Since you are so good at riding a horse alone, let Gu take a look at how many prey you can get. If it is less than your brothers, don't blame your father for punishment. The three of you should not be humiliated. I will try my best to hunt, and if I lose to a twelve-year-old child, I will go home hungry today!"

Everyone sternly agreed: "Wei!"

Only Zhao Wuxi complained in his stomach, "Actually, I turned thirteen in August..."

…

Song Guoda Sicheng Le Qi watched this scene from a distance. He turned his head and asked Chen Yin, the right of his car, who was also an important minister: "Zihu, what do you think of Zhao's teacher?"

Chen Yin, whose name is Zihu, looked at the Zhao family's motorcade, which had changed from chaos to order, and replied, "My servant thinks that if Zhao Yang is here, or if his minister Dong Anyu is there, then the Zhao family's teacher is Tiger Wolf. If Zhao Yang is not there and there is no good suzerain to lead it, the Zhao family will be a mess!"

"So, although Fan Yang is greedy and vulgar, if the Lord wants to turn to the Zhao family, it is too early in the eyes of the servants..."

Le Qi sighed. On this mission, he knew that Jin had a lot of political affairs, and the public office was weak, so he would not be able to protect Song and envoys. Once you set foot on the territory of Jin State, you will become the object of competition among the forces of the Liuqing, and you have to make a choice among them. This is like entering the forest of arrows and knives.

That's why he resolutely appointed his eldest son as the heir of the family after his aunt-in-law, Bu Ziqing, figured out a murderous plan for this trip. If there is anything wrong with him, at least someone in the family will take care of him.

And another retainer, Chen Yin, suggested that we should hold our noses and choose a strong one among the six ministers to cling to.

Just among the six masters, who is the strongest? Mr. Fan is currently in power, but he is very old, and he does not know how many years to live; and Zhao Yang is prosperous in his youth and has a strong style, which should not be underestimated, but even if Fan Yang dies tomorrow, Jin will be the ruling clan. Not his turn. The rest of the Bank of China, Han, and Wei are not easy to fool. The situation in Jin State was so complicated that it was as if it was blocked by a heavy curtain, and it was impossible to see its face.

What's more, the Song state is the only remaining duke state in the world after Weizi, and Zhou Tianzi treated each other with the courtesy of guests, but now he has been reduced to the point of serving foreign ministers and officials? Before coming, Le Qi still had a bit of luck in his heart, and hoped that he could build an alliance with the Marquis of Jin in an upright manner, and then bring this alliance book back to Shangqiu, the capital of Song, in an upright manner.

Who would have thought that as soon as they arrived in Jin, the Fan family and the Zhao family would fight openly and secretly in the courtroom, implicated Song Shi. After Fan Yang lost his diplomatic power, he took his anger on them, but was stunned that he would not allow the Marquis of Jin to receive the envoy of Song. At this point, in order to complete his mission and return to China smoothly, Le Qi had to rely on Zhao's help.

At this time, Zhao Yang's chariot had already turned back, and he apologized: "The children are fooling around and let Le Bo see a joke."

Le Qi shook his head slightly to Chen Yin, indicating that he had no choice. He and Zhao Yang said a few more words of modesty, and the two officials entered the hunting ground side by side.

Zhao Yang ordered the Yu people who were in charge of the hunting grounds to sacrifice cattle, sheep and pigs to the **** of mountains and water, and then played the deer flute to start hunting.

He also ordered people to go to the area of ​​Jie Zitui's tomb to see if there was any whereabouts of Bu Ziqing, Le Bo's staff aunt.

Yu Ren agreed to his promise, and went to Zhao Yang's side again and said, "The Lord just happened to come up, this autumn, the deer is fat, and recently the servant saw a white elk entering the hunting ground, but unfortunately it was very vigilant and chased it several times. Unable to capture."

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