Liu Shanbao was very excited because he finally saw the palace.Although, at this time, he was only standing in front of the side gate of Taiji Palace, Changle Gate, and did not enter the palace at all.But for Liu Shanbao, who makes a living by driving passengers and pulling goods, if it weren't for a coincidence, let alone standing in front of the palace, it would be the imperial city of Chang'an City, and he would probably not have the opportunity to set foot in his life.Holding his horse with a horse's slap and standing in front of Changle Gate, Comrade Liu couldn't help but have a better vision in his heart.Your Majesty will not come out in a while, it should come out, if he heard those two young men talk about the horseshoe, he would definitely come out to take a look.Ah, if I really can meet Your Majesty, I will be lucky today.Even if I can't leave a name in the history books like that blacksmith, then I'm worth it If I see Your Majesty, what should I say?"
You're a coachman surnamed Liu," the sergeant asked Liu Shanbao."
It's me, it's me," Liu Shanbao replied busily.The sergeant stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the horse, Your Majesty wants to see it." ”"Eh" Liu Shanbao responded and handed the reins to the sergeant.The sergeant led the horse and was about to enter the palace."
What about me," Liu Shanbao hurriedly asked."
You wait here," the sergeant dropped a sentence and led his horse into the Changle Gate.Liu Shanbao was a little disappointed, it turned out that His Majesty would not come out.But it's okay, the provincial one doesn't know what to say when he sees His Majesty.I can see the palace, this trip is not in vain, and when we return to Jingyang City, we can blow it.Wude Hall is a separate palace in the Taiji Palace, located on the east side of the Taiji Palace, adjacent to the East Palace.In front of the Wude Palace, there is the Wude Gate and other buildings in the Taiji Palace.At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan gave Li Shimin to live in the Chengqian Hall and Li Yuanji to live in the Wude Palace.After the Xuanwumen Change, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were executed, and Li Yuan was forced by the situation to make Li Shimin the crown prince.Since then, Li Shimin has moved into the East Palace to live, and even after ascending the throne as the emperor, he still has not moved out of the East Palace.Because of its proximity to the East Palace, Wude Hall was also regarded by Li Shimin as a place to review and meet courtiers on weekdays.At this moment, Li Shimin, Yu Chi Baolin, Zhao Yunze, and Yan Liben were standing in front of the gate of the Wude Palace, looking forward to the location of the Wude Gate.Wei Chi Baolin and Zhao Yunze came here naturally to "offer treasure" to Li Shimin; And Yan Liben had already come to the Wude Hall before Yu Chi Baolin and Zhao Yunze entered the palace, and he had come to hand over to Li Shimin the architectural plan and project budget of the Arsenal Special Administration.Hearing that Zhao Yunze and Yu Chi Baolin talked about the "horseshoe", Li Shimin immediately sent a guard to Changle Gate to bring the horse in."
Here" As soon as the guard led the horse into the Wude Gate, Yu Chi Baolin reminded him."
Let me see" Li Shimin couldn't wait to walk towards the horse.This is a horse with a docile personality.The guard led the horse, and Yu Chi Baolin stepped forward, stroked the horse for a while, and then bent down and lifted one of the horse's front hooves.Li Shimin looked at the horse's hooves carefully, and asked curiously: "This iron ring is what you call a horseshoe" Zhao Yunze said: "Yes, this is the horseshoes, also called horseshoes." ”"Such a simple iron ring can protect the horse's hooves very well.This horse has been used for driving chariots and riding for people for nearly a thousand years, why hasn't anyone come up with this before?"
Li Shimin sighed.Zhao Yunze said in his heart: If someone came up with this thing before, then I will still mix a ball" Have you ever tried to let the horse run" Li Shimin asked again.Zhao Yunze said: "Your Majesty, this horse is a cart, and there is no saddle for riding, so I just nailed it a horseshoe, and I haven't done a running side test yet." ”Seeing that Li Shimin seemed to be a little uneasy, Zhao Yunze said again: "However, the minister can guarantee that the horseshoe is used for running, and there is no problem."
Barring no accidents, this pair of horseshoes is enough to wear out for a few months. ”Li Shimin nodded and said, "Since there is no problem for horses to walk, it is the same if they want to run." ”After speaking, he looked at Yan Liben again: "Have you ever remembered the appearance and usage of this horseshoe" Yan Liben arched his hand and said: "This thing has a simple structure, and the minister will remember it when he sees it." ”"Okay, later, you go to the Ordnance Supervisor with your will and teach them to build a hundred horseshoe pairs for trial first."
Li Shimin said to Yan Liben."
Haha, Baolin, your horse is so good, if it weren't for your horse injury, Zhao Yunze probably wouldn't have thought of this thing." ”Li Shimin was in a good mood and joked with Yu Chi Baolin.Although Yu Chi Baolin felt sorry for "Hong'er", he would not be stupid enough to brush Li Shimin's face at this time, and immediately said: "If I can let my Tang cavalry enhance its combat strength, what is the pity of a horse." ”"Haha, don't worry, I won't let you suffer, wait a while, I will order someone to take you to Taifu Temple to choose a good horse."
Li Shimin said to Yu Chi Baolin with a smile on his face."
Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift," Yu Chi Baolin's face suddenly blossomed.Taifu Temple is one of the nine temples of the Tang Dynasty, with jurisdiction over the four departments of Huang, Dianchang, Dianmu and Chefu, and the maintenance and selection of the Son of Heaven and the Wanggong Chariot and Horse.Li Shimin asked Yu Chi Baolin to go to Taifu Temple to choose horses, and the horses there were all good products, and Yu Chi Baolin was naturally happy.Zhao Yunze saw that Li Shimin was so generous to Yu Chi Baolin, and hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, the minister has also learned to ride a horse, do you also reward the minister with a horse" Li Shimin turned his face and pretended to be angry and reprimanded: "You still have the face to say, the dignified arsenal does not sign the order, and you are so frivolous, it is not bad if I don't punish you, and you still have the face to be rewarded" After speaking, Li Shimin put his hands behind his back and walked towards the Wude Palace.His back is so calm, without a trace of clouds.Uh, Zhao Yunze was speechless for a moment.Okay, Yu Chi Baolin is your dear Qing, and I am raised by my stepmother.Seeing that Zhao Yunze's face drooped, Yu Chi Baolin gloated and winked at Zhao Yunze.Zhao Yunze was so angry that he raised his foot and was about to kick Chi Baolin.But at this moment, Li Shimin turned around again, and when he saw Zhao Yunze's movements, his old man spoke again: "Why, you injured other people's Baolin's horses, and you have to kick others, is there anything more bastard in the world?"
”Zhao Yunze hurriedly swung his legs wildly."
Zhao Yunze, I will punish you for hiring the chariot driver, along with his horses and carriages, into your house to do things.Don't treat people badly, I want to inquire about this matter. ”Li Shimin suddenly said to Zhao Yunze.Ah, what kind of idea are you playing, Zhao Yunze was stunned for a moment.Li Shimin said to Yan Liben again: "As for the blacksmith who made the horseshoe, he will be temporarily included in the ordnance superintendent, and the salary will be paid according to the high-class craftsman of the ordnance superintendent."
Wait for the opening of the Arsenal Administration, and then transfer him to the Arsenal Administration. ”Zhao Yunze finally understood Li Shimin's intentions when he heard this, he was obviously for the purpose of secrecy.But your old man wants to keep it secret, why are you still pulling me in, when I am a local tyrant:
