Chapter 138

On the sixth day of August, the Tatar envoys who came to the Central Plains to present tribute horses arrived in Capital City.

The imperial court sent officials from the Ministry of Rites to entertain these envoys at the post house first, and when Emperor You of the Yuan Dynasty came to court in the first nine days, the Tatar envoys went to the palace to meet them again.

On the afternoon of the eighth day of the lunar new year, Hua Yang entered the palace.

Empress Dowager Qi: "You only enter the palace at the beginning of the month in June and July. Could it be that you are here to present horses to the Tatar envoys tomorrow?"

Hua Yang: "What's so good about hundreds of stinky horses? Just now when I was resting for a while, I dreamed about my queen mother, and I missed her so much when I woke up. That's why I came here."

Empress Dowager Qi: "Panpan misses Mother so much, Mother is really moved."

The way she looked at her daughter, she clearly guessed her daughter's little thoughts.

Hua Yang leaned over with a smile, and put his face on the empress's shoulder: "Mother, tomorrow the envoy will present a horse, do you want to watch the fun?"

Empress Dowager Qi: "That's all for the court meeting, I'll go over to the racecourse."

Hua Yang: "Then I will go with you."

Empress Dowager Qi: "Do you want to pick another horse for yourself?"

She remembered that her daughter was particularly fond of horses with snow-white hairs. The first emperor gave his daughter the most beautiful white horses on several occasions when Tatar presented horses while he was alive.

Even though Empress Dowager Qi looked down on many aspects of the first emperor, but every time she thought of the late emperor's love for the two children, Empress Dowager Qi felt a little sad.

Hua Yang: "I don't want it anymore. He is your good son-in-law. He has been riding an old horse given by his elder brother all these years. He doesn't think it's shabby and I don't. I just took this opportunity to ask my younger brother to reward him with one."

Empress Dowager Qi naturally looks forward to the love between her daughter and son-in-law. Her daughter is usually domineering, and it is rare for her to be nice to her son-in-law. Empress Dowager Qi is also happy to support her.

In the evening, the family of three shared dinner, and Hua Yang begged his younger brother for a horse in front of his mother.

Emperor Yuanyou played a play with his sister in a funny way.

The next day, Emperor Yuanyou went to court early.

The Tatars bowed their heads to the imperial court in recent years. If it was the first emperor sitting on the dragon chair at this time, even if the first emperor was known far and wide for his lust, the Tatar envoys would speak respectfully, regardless of the age of the first emperor..But the Emperor Yuanyou in front of him was only fourteen years old, and he was already thin and thin. With the wide dragon chair set off, he looked even more like a child with no hair.Sincere surrender?

Speaking of the tribute horses, the leading Tatar envoy said loudly and authentically: "Your Majesty, this year is the year of your founding Yuan Dynasty. In order to express our congratulations, our Khan, in addition to collecting 500 high-quality horses according to the agreement, will present them to you., He also sent over a peerless BMW that he found this year, which is rare in a thousand years, and you will find out later."

On the dragon chair, Emperor Yuanyou and Chen Tingjian looked at each other, and smiled faintly at the Tatar envoy: "Since it is a peerless BMW, how can I let the Khan give up his love?"

The Tatar envoy laughed even louder: "Your Majesty, you are welcome. If the horse is willing to listen to our Khan, the Khan should be reluctant to send you off. It's just that the horse's temper is too strong. Our Khan tried to surrender several times but failed.After failing, Khan said, this horse can only be subdued by the son of Tianlong in the Central Plains, so he asked us to bring it here and present it to you."

Emperor Yuanyou pursed the corners of his lips imperceptibly.

No matter how conceited he was, he knew that his fourteen-year-old body was far from being able to compare with the Tatar Khan. The Tatar envoy clearly wanted to see his jokes when he said this.

At this moment, Qi Jin came out, smiled and said to the Tatar envoy: "I wonder if Khan asked other grassland athletes to try to subdue that horse?"

Qi Jin's face was as white as jade, and even though he was wearing a military officer's official robe, the Tatar envoys didn't like this kind of pretty boy, and said contemptuously: "A peerless BMW, how can everyone get their hands on it?"

Qi Jin: "I'm afraid that the horse is just an ordinary good horse, but Zun Khan is old and unable to catch it."

With just one sentence, the six Tatar envoys were enraged, and they rolled up their sleeves in a row, and they were about to attack Qi Jin.

Emperor Yuanyou reprimanded Qi Jin and said, "Don't be rude to Khan."

Only then did Qi Jin salute and apologize to the Tatar envoys.

The good-looking man politely bowed his hands and made amends, becoming more and more personable.

The Tatar envoys knew the etiquette of the Central Plains, and even Qi Jin was like this, if they continued to make trouble, it would appear that they were rude and petty.

The Tatar envoy snorted heavily, raised his neck and said, "Whether it's a BMW or a horse, let's go to the racetrack and see."

Needless to say the rest, Emperor Yuanyou first sent people to greet the Queen Mother, and then led civil and military officials and Tatar envoys to the racetrack.

Empress Dowager Qi and Hua Yang arrived only a cup of tea later than them.

Emperor Yuanyou stepped forward to salute Empress Dowager Qi respectfully, and all civil and military officials also bowed their heads.

Although the Tatar envoys followed suit, they glanced disrespectfully at the faces of Empress Dowager Qi's mother and daughter. They looked down on all the pretty boys in the Central Plains, and looked at the pair of the most honorable mothers in the world.Female, but they all feel shocked to see heaven and man.

After saluting, the Hua Yang siblings stood by their mother's side, one on the left and the other on the right, and led the crowd to the high platform on the side of the racetrack. As for the six Tatar envoys, they could only follow Chen Tingjian and others aggrievedly.People walk behind.

Seats had already been set up on the high platform. The emperor's family of three sat in the middle, several court elders and six Tatar envoys sat on the left, right and bottom respectively, and other civil and military officials stood.

Emperor Yuanyou: "Let's offer a horse."

Cao Li immediately shouted "Horse offering", and other eunuchs passed on the emperor's oral instructions one by one.

After a while, the horse breeder of the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the horse breeder accompanying the Tatar came over leading 501 fine horses.

At first glance, the five hundred horses are all fat and healthy, but after careful identification, you will find that there are good and bad points among the five hundred horses, ten of them are the best, and the rest are the best.It is a relatively common Mongolian horse. Although it can be sold for hundreds of taels of silver in the Central Plains, it is not enough for dignitaries to find it rare.

In addition, there was another steed with burgundy hair, which was led out of the group of horses alone.

And this one, against the backdrop of five hundred horses, still stood out from the crowd, including Hua Yang, everyone's eyes immediately fell on the bay red horse.

The Tatar envoy touched his messy beard and said proudly: "This bay red horse is the peerless BMW dedicated to the emperor by our Khan."

The younger he was, the easier it was for him to be attracted by such chivalrous objects as BMW and swords. Emperor Yuanyou was no exception. He fell in love with that bay red horse at first sight.

Even though he knew that the Tatar envoys had bad intentions, Emperor Yuanyou still smiled and praised the red horse: "The rumored red rabbit of the Three Kingdoms is probably like this."

When Chen Jingzong heard the words, he cast his eyes on Hua Yang.

These two siblings, one loves Zhou Lang of the Three Kingdoms, and the other loves Chitu of the Three Kingdoms. They heard the stories of the Three Kingdoms together when they were young, right?

Hua Yang didn't notice Chen Jingzong's gaze, she was still looking at the bay red horse.

At this time in her previous life, although she had already taken off her clothes and did not have to mourn for Chen Jingzong, she was not in the mood to come to the palace to see the Tatars offering horses.

But she had the impression of this matter, but the news spread to the palace, Wu Run found out about it, and then reported it to her.

Since the horse was dedicated to the younger brother, of course the younger brother wanted to try riding it, but with such a fierce horse, how could the ministers dare to let the younger brother approach it rashly, but let the guards try it first.

The three imperial guards were thrown off by the fierce horse and suffered injuries of varying degrees.

Then, Marquis jingan, Nan Kang's father-in-law, asked to try it.

Jingnanhou is a general of this dynasty. He was left out in the cold for a year because of the rebellion of King Yu. He was holding his breath, but he was unlucky and was also thrown off by a fierce horse. He is an old man who is nearly sixty years old.After raising it for a long time, it regained its freedom of movement.

Marquis jingan's initiative to invite Ying failed, and none of the other military officers dared to act rashly.

At this time, Qi Jin introduced himself, saying that he was his younger brother's cousin, who often accompanied him, and that he had a little bit of his younger brother's aura of emperor, so maybe he could succeed.

Qi Jin is also really capable, and finally surrendered this fierce horse, but it is said that he also suffered three broken ribs during the surrender process, and almost lost his hands.

The subdued horse was also exhausted, and at the same time lost its pride. My brother tried to ride it again, but it went smoothly. It just happened that the Tatar envoy said that this horse would only obediently serve the emperor of the Central Plains.

Originally, Hua Yang didn't need to worry about this matter, but...

She quietly looked at Chen Jingzong.

She often praised Chen Jingzong's strength in front of her younger brother. In his previous life, Chen Jingzong passed away long ago. In this life, he stood here well. Will his younger brother ask Chen Jingzong to subdue this horse later?

Qi Jin broke a rib, so Hua Yang just listened to it, but Hua Yang couldn't bear it if it was Chen Jingzong, and he was even more afraid that Chen Jingzong broke more than just a rib.

The thought arose, and Hua Yang's palms also broke out in a thin layer of sweat.

Soon, the Tatar envoy personally brought the bay red horse over and asked Emperor Yuanyou to try riding it.

Emperor Yuanyou didn't show his timidity, he really wanted to try it, and then Chen Tingjian and other Inner Pavilion ministers came forward to dissuade him.Emperor You also saved Emperor Yuanyou's face. As for the Tatar envoys, they didn't understand what the old men were babbling at all. Anyway, they were just waiting to see the jokes of the Central Plains monarchs and ministers.

Next, if there is no accident, Emperor Yuanyou will arrange for the guards to try riding.

Hua Yang suddenly opened his mouth and asked the Tatar envoy, "How do you tame horses on your grassland?"

Everyone looked at Hua Yang.

The Tatar envoys liked the beauty of the long princess, and they were very polite in their answers. They told Hua Yang several ways of taming horses, among which the fierce horses captured from outside were usually subdued by force.

"I heard that the Central Plains people use iron whips to punish disobedient horses. We prairie men disdain this. Horses are spiritual and are our best partners. How can we treat them like ordinary animals?"

Hua Yang nodded and said: "The horse is indeed full of spirituality. Since this bay red horse is called a peerless horse by you, its spirituality may not be inferior to others."

The Tatar envoy smiled proudly: "It's so smart, it won't be soft and hard, but it won't let us Khan ride it."

Hua Yang: "It is willing to appear in front of Khan, which shows that it still wanted to work for Khan at first, but it found that Khan is not a wise king in the world, so it refused to bow its head."

The Tatar envoy's smile froze.

Hua Yang looked at his younger brother again: "It's rare to see a good BMW horse in a thousand years, just like a rare man who governs a country in a hundred years, and great sages throughout the ages all have their own tempers.The former master of the Shu Han Dynasty visited the thatched cottage three times before he asked Zhuge to use him. Your Majesty, this horse wanted to serve the wise king. It was as brave and strong as Khan, but it could not convince the horse.Renjun."

"The benevolent king and the virtuous corporal make the people from all over the world come to him, so I think that the emperor should also treat this horse with courtesy and kindness, take care of it personally from time to time, and influence it with your generosity and benevolence. Only in this way can we demonstrate the way of governing the country of our Mingjun."

Emperor Yuanyou: ...

He was still shocked by his sister's words, Chen Tingjian and other civil servants were the first to kneel down, shouting long princess wise.

The civil servant knelt down, and the military officer also knelt down with a clatter.

Empress Dowager Qi smiled, looked at her daughter approvingly, and said to Emperor Yuanyou: "Your sister's words are reasonable. How can the emperor treat this horse with brute force when it travels thousands of miles to our Central Plains? That's definitely not how I treat guests.The way to be talented."

Emperor Yuanyou liked that horse very much, so much that he didn't want others to help him tame it, and he knew very well that taming a fierce horse couldn't be done overnight, so give him time to get familiar with this horse slowly, and the horse trainer will help him tame it day by day.Reduce its wildness, maybe two or three months later, the horse will obey him obediently.

Emperor Yuanyou dismissed the Tatar envoys with the rhetoric of Renjun.

The Tatar envoys are aggrieved. When it comes to talking about major principles, their six mouths can't even talk about that dainty long princess!
