Chapter 392 Your Highness, be careful
Early morning.
Qin Lang is grooming his beloved horse with Cheng Qian.
Leopard head enjoys the master's caress comfortably, but at the same time, it still flirts with each other, and from time to time rubs its head against Chengqian's mount Dabai next door.
As the crown prince, it is quite rare for Chengqian to wash the mount himself, and this is all thanks to Qin Lang's teaching. Qin Lang is not like Li Gang, Kong Yingda, Yu Zhining and other teachers, he will not teach Chengqian as a saint all day long, he hopes that the crown prince is a person, and then a king.
He must have flesh and blood, he can have emotions and desires, and he should also know the sufferings of the people.
How can a prince who opens his mouth and stretches out his hands when he eats food, how can he be a good emperor in the future?
Chengqian’s skill in shaming horses is good, and he also enjoys Dabai, but he hates hooligans with leopard heads.
"Teacher, why isn't this leopard head castrated?"
Chengqian didn't like leopard heads playing hooligans on his beloved horse, so he couldn't help asking.
Generally speaking, for war horses, one must choose a mare, or castrate a male horse. If a male horse is not castrated, the horse will be more restless, and if it becomes estrus, it will lose control. But military horses have extremely high requirements and have to go through a series of training. The most important thing is to be obedient and docile.
If the master wants to rush, then there will be mountains of swords and fire ahead, and if the master wants to stop, even the thunderbolt will have to stand still.
It is said that there have been generals riding a stallion in history, but the enemy will deliberately arrange a mare in heat, and then directly lure the enemy's mount and lead the general into the enemy camp to be captured, so under normal circumstances, it will not Male and female are used as war horses.
Qin Lang's leopard head was born of Qin Qiong's mount Hulei Leopard, a famous pure-blooded horse.
But never castrated.
"Anyway, I don't need to go to the battlefield. If I do go to the battlefield, I can also ride other horses. Let the leopard head retain his dignity!"
Qin Lang patted Leopard on the head, feeling very affectionate for this horse.
The reason why I crossed over here is because the original owner fell from it. Qin Lang has long had feelings for it, and now he treats it more as a pet and companion. This guy is too spiritual, so he just comes to wake him up every day. Qin Lang was reluctant to **** it.
"Leopard Head is a pure-blooded Chollima, so it's good to keep it for breeding. In fact, His Highness's white blood is also quite pure. If Leopard Head is allowed to breed, I believe that good offspring will be produced." Qin Lang took the initiative to help Leopard head proposes marriage.
Cheng Qian shook his head.
"My Dabai doesn't want a leopard head! This guy is too rascal! Just like a street rascal!"
"Your Highness, my horse is of pure blood and noble birth!"
The two of them were chatting while washing the horse, talking and laughing.
After riding and archery training, wash and wash your horse, and relax yourself by the way.
"Feng Zhidai has already passed Wuguan to Lantian, and will arrive in Chang'an soon. I heard that Feng An has also left Gaozhou and has now arrived in Guangzhou." Chengqian had to go to court every morning, and the emperor made some plans for him. Put it under the imperial case and ask Chengqian to learn government affairs.
Actually, this early court has nothing to do with government affairs at all, it is just a ceremony. Generally speaking, the most important thing in the morning court every day is that some officials who have been transferred to leave Beijing will say goodbye to the emperor face to face, and the emperor will give a few words of encouragement and so on.
In addition, some officials who came to Beijing came to see the emperor. They usually returned to Beijing on business trips, or returned to Beijing to wait for a new post after the expiration of their original service, and some came to Beijing to participate in the assessment and so on.
These officials who entered Beijing usually arranged for them to come to the morning court to make a face, and the emperor greeted them. In other words, allowing some mid-level and lower-level officials to have the opportunity to get in touch with the emperor would also allow the emperor to have a better understanding of these mid-level and lower-level officials.
Except for other things, basically the early court would not discuss any government affairs and state affairs. Those matters were discussed with the important ministers at the emperor's court meeting, and ordinary officials were not qualified.
Morning is too early, Cheng Qian has to get up early every day, so as not to miss the time, for the young Cheng Qian, this is actually very hard.
Qin Lang also made a suggestion to the emperor, saying that Chengqian was still young, and it was time to grow his body. Adequate sleep would be helpful for child development, and getting up early every day would affect development. In the end, Li Shimin said that it was not early in the morning, and he went to bed early at night, and three or four hours of sleep a day was enough.
He also said that the regular counselors of the Manchu Dynasty woke up early every day like this, and he didn't see anyone complaining.
Even almost asked Qin Lang to participate in the early court regular participation.
Qin Lang made all kinds of excuses, he wanted to preside over the repair of the Daming Palace, and he also wanted to preside over the affairs of the East Palace, etc., and managed to escape this catastrophe.
His participation in politics during the second visit to the prime minister, and now he often finds excuses not to participate in even the court meeting, so why would he want to go to the court early every morning?
He had to get up before dawn, and had to wait in line in front of the palace gate, tossing and tossing, and ended up dozing off on the Golden Palace, so he didn't want to go.
Chengqian did not escape, so he had to get up early every day, which was indeed very hard.
His position is under the eyes of the emperor, and he can't be lazy and doze off. Fortunately, although the morning court is boring, there are still some gains.
Of course, you can also hear more news.
For example, the Feng family's father and son entered Beijing. This news was heard in the early court.
Emperor had accepted Qin Lang's suggestion before, and he had just ordered Jianghuai soldiers to go south to Lingnan to suppress the rebellion. Although it was just a matter of sending troops, after all, the emperor had already issued such an edict before, and the scale of troops used in the edict was huge. The entire Jianghuai and Jingxiang soldiers were sent to Lingnan, which was as many as 100,000 people.
So although the edict was stopped, the emperor's minions had been shown quietly once, which shocked the local emperors in Lingnan.
It turns out that the emperor of Chang'an couldn't forget them.
After showing off his muscles and showing off his minions, the atmosphere in Lingnan also changed rapidly.
Tan Dian, Feng An and Feng Xuan, who were fiercely fighting each other before, also immediately ceased their troops and stopped fighting, for fear that they would really attract the Chang'an Tianzi soldiers.
Immediately afterwards, the governors and governors of these states, etc., presented their petitions to Chang'an, flattered the emperor, offered auspicious tribute and local products, etc., and also expressed their loyalty. Downgrading to a county, dividing Lingnan into three regions, and other arrangements, all expressed support.
Of course, the representatives of the Central Plains who were in the south of the Five Ridges during the previous dynasty, Qiu He, the Governor of Jiaozhou, and Li Xizhi, the Governor of Guizhou, all began to pack their bags without saying a word at this time, and immediately entered the court under the imperial edict.
And Ning Chun, Chen Longshu and others also sent their children to pay tribute to the imperial court. In fact, they sent protons to dispel the suspicion of the imperial court.
However, Feng An did a more thorough job. He directly dispatched his eldest son Feng Zhidai with a large amount of gold and silver property, saying that it was Gao Luo who waited for the taxes of the states under his rule last year, and escorted Chang'an. Then he followed suit!
Even Tan Dian, the chieftain, is said to have hastened to send his son to Chang'an with his belongings, for fear that Feng would sue him.
As for saying that the imperial court wants to merge provinces, prefectures and counties, no one dared to object to these local emperors. In the past, all of them were known as governors of several states, but now they are going to become governors of one state, and no one dares to say.
After seeing the imperial edict issued and withdrawn, no one dared to play with fire.
The Jieli Khan of the Turks in the north has all surrendered. Who dares to say that the local kings in Lingnan are stronger than the Turks? You know, these local emperors in the south of the Lingnan brought their children and tribal soldiers to the Central Plains to serve the Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty in the early years. Following Yang Guangdong's conquest of Goguryeo, under the city of Liaodong, the scene of millions of troops overwhelming the sky was extremely shocking.
Of course, in Yanmen City, he was surrounded by Turkic Shibi Khan with hundreds of thousands of wolf riders.
These people have seen the world outside of Lingnan, know how big the world is, and know that the group of people in Lingnan are actually weak, that is, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the Central Plains can't reach it.
But the emperor of the Central Plains was really in a hurry, and if they really wanted to beat them, how far could they be farther than Goguryeo in Liaodong? Can it be farther than the Turks in Mobei? Can it go farther than Tuyuhun in the northwest, or Yiwu Country in the Western Regions?
The Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty was able to send 300,000 troops to fight all the way from the Liaohe River to the city of Pyongyang on the Korean Peninsula. From Dengzhou, 80,000 troops could sail across the East China Sea by boat and fight across the sea to the royal city of Koguryo.
Even back then, the Sui Dynasty sent generals to lead troops directly to Linyi State in the south of Lingnan.
In the Southern Expedition that broke through the capital of Linyi, in fact, these local emperors in the south of the Lingnan marched with their children and tribes. They saw with their own eyes how vulnerable the soldiers of Linyi were.
The elephant soldiers that Linyi is proud of, and even the heat of the rainforest, are equally ineffective against the powerful Sui army. Linyi is definitely much stronger than these Lingnan soil kings.
So after Li Shimin, the emperor of Chang'an, sneezed, the local kings of Lingnan were all silent and afraid.
However, Qin Lang believes that these people will not give up the power in their hands easily. The Emperor of Earth is so relieved, who is willing to really hand over this power.
There must be struggles involved, the situation is not as simple as Cheng Qian thought.
"Teacher, I also heard a piece of news." Cheng Qian said with some worry.
"Your Majesty summoned Mr. Xiao and Mr. Chen to play against each other yesterday, and talked about the matter of entrustment."
Qin Lang looked at Cheng Qian in surprise, "Since only two old ministers were summoned to play the right match, how did His Highness know about this? He also knew the content of the right call?"
"A servant next to His Majesty told me."
Qin Lang was a little startled.
"Your Highness, be careful."
It is a felony to make friends with the emperor's close servants. It is also a felony to spy on the secret discussions between the emperor and important ministers through the close servants. Even if it is a prince, this kind of thing is beyond the limit. Once the emperor finds out, the consequences will be extremely serious.
"It was the man who took the initiative to tell me, and I didn't arrange to buy it."
"Then you have to be more careful."
Qin Lang even subconsciously wondered if Li Shimin was fishing on purpose.
"Your Highness, it's better to concentrate on studying now. Don't meddle in some things. In fact, His Highness is nothing more than worrying. My eldest grandson and I will protect His Highness. Next time, don't do such stupid things again. If there are servants who do this, His Highness should not pay any attention to them, it is best to confess to His Majesty, otherwise once the incident happens, it will be big or small, and the control will be completely out of our hands."
Chengqian was taken aback. Just now he felt a little complacent, thinking that he was amazing, but he didn't expect that the matter turned out to be so serious.
He lowered his head, "I know, I won't dare in the future, but teacher, do you think this assignment is good or bad?"
