Chapter 268(1/2)
A ball of hemp
Yu Yin felt a headache.
Judging from Zong Ze’s meaning inside and outside the words, what happened today does not seem to be as simple as it seems.
There is something strange here!
But what is strange? Yu Yin can't figure it out.
Others are not stupid, and they are reborn again and have experienced so many things. But the rich experience is rich, and this political mind is still lacking in a stubborn mind. He is born to be a political figure, so Yu Yin has always respected Xie Bumin for those conspiracies and plots. But now, he feels that he seems to have been involved in a conspiracy.
Who is going to assassinate Zhao Chen?
Or, who can get benefits if you kill Zhao Chen?
No matter how many people think about it, they will be the first to think of those brothers of Zhao Huan.
Zhao Huan only has Zhao Chen, the son. If Zhao Chen dies... it is not right! Zhao Huan is only twenty-six years old, who can guarantee that he will not add children in the future? So, there must be some other feelings in this matter, but for a moment, Yu Yin couldn't think of a clue. It was too complicated! It was too complicated! Yu Yin patted his forehead and smiled bitterly.
The Chinese people are so frightened by internal fighting...
In the face of this great enemy, the Jurchens were about to come to the city, but the Kaifeng Prefecture was still intrigue and plotting against each other.
How can the court defeat his opponent in this way?
The more Yu Yin thought about it, the more trouble he felt, so he simply fell on the bed and stopped thinking about these things.
I have to go to Moutuogang tomorrow morning, as for Zong Ze... After all, I think I can gain a foothold after tonight.
Well, this is an unexpected gain!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The next morning, before dawn, Yu Yin finished washing and put on armor.
Tied the Loulan sword under his ribs, and hung it on the saddle bridge. Yu Yin was energetic and walked out of the house.
Everyone knows that Yu Yin will encounter risks when he goes to Moutuogang at this time.
Yan Nu held her daughter in tears, and with the help of Yang Jinlian and Zhang Erjie, she sent Yu Yin to the entrance of Guanyin Lane.
The brothers Zong An Liu and Zong An Qi were already guarding outside the alley.
The two of them were also armed with helmets and armor, each holding a horse, showing their heroic spirit.
The horse is not big, compared with dark gold. Its limbs are much shorter and belongs to a ponies. Standing on the edge of dark gold, the two horses are inconspicuous, but Yu Yin couldn't help but take a few more glances. Zong Ze came back from Bazhou this time and brought dozens of Dian horses, which are the kind of dian horses in front of him. In Zong Ze's words, the Dian horse seems inconspicuous, but if compared with the good horses in the Western Regions, it is no match for them at all within the first 10 or 20 miles. But one advantage of the Dian horse is that it has strong endurance.
After running for thirty or forty miles, even the good horses in Dayuan will feel tired, but the Dian horse will become more and more energetic as they run...
On the other hand, Dian horses are easier to feed than Dayuan horses.
The annual cost of a Dayuan horse is more than the annual income of a family of three in Kaifeng.
But the cost of a Dian horse is only one-fifth of that of a Dayuan horse. In other words, Dian horses are easier to feed, and the market price is much cheaper than Dayuan horses.
Take Kaifeng as an example. A good horse is at least a thousand cents.
But Zong Ze’s Dian horse was only 100 trump cards when he bought it, and the price difference was huge...
More importantly, the adaptability of Dian horses is stronger than that of Dayuan horses. No matter what environment they are in, they can be cultivated and grown.
Zong Ze is in Bazhou and has some connections.
This time, he came to Kaifeng, and he had the intention of promoting Dian horses to make up for the lack of horses in the Central Plains after the self-imposed herd supervision system was abolished. For this reason, he brought dozens of Dian horses to Kaifeng, and he was responsible for the expenses along the way. So after he arrived in Kaifeng, he had no money to handle the work, and the family could only live in an inn in the slums in the East Second slum area.
"Is this what your father said about Bazhouma?"
Zong Anliu nodded quickly and replied, "Conductor Jade, don't underestimate it... It is inconspicuous, but has strong endurance. If you run for thirty or forty miles, you will become more and more energetic. Within a hundred miles, you can gain the upper hand, but if you have more than a hundred miles, 200 miles and 300 miles, this Bazhou horse can turn defeat into victory. My father has spent a lot of effort on it this time."
Yu Yin naturally knew the benefits of Dian horses. To put it bluntly, the characteristics of Dian horses are quite similar to those of later Mongolian horses.
In history, Genghis Khan galloped around the world and conquered the world, and he was rewarded with the Mongolian horse.
The unique riding and shooting tactics of the Mongolians were also designed based on the characteristics of Mongolian horses...
Yu Yin did not understand the Mongols' riding and shooting tactics, but he understood the benefits of Mongolian horses. Since the characteristics of Dian horses and Mongolian horses are the same, the Mongols can create new riding and shooting tactics, why can't the Song people break out with new riding and shooting tactics?
Since the Song Dynasty, there have been countless good generals!
Yu Yin didn't believe it, and couldn't find someone with ability.
"Old Huo!"
"Brother Xiao Yi ordered."
"When I go to pick up Mr. Zong's family later, I will buy these horses and temporarily store them in the slaughterhouse. I will be useful."
Huo Jian curled his lips and glanced at the two ponies. Although he felt a little disdainful, he still agreed on his mouth...
Zong Anliu and Zong Anqiu were overjoyed when they heard this.
Dozens of Dian horses have exhausted Zong Ze's savings... However, the Dian horse's image is too poor, and it is quite troublesome to give it to others. Zong Ze originally wanted to present the Dian horse to Zhao Huan, but Huang Qianshan immediately stopped his behavior after seeing it.
“There is no shortage of horses in the official stable.
If Zong Rulin and other horses were sent over, they could only be sent to the imperial kitchen.”
Since the Song Dynasty, killing cattle and horses has been illegal, but if the Emperor of the Song Dynasty killed a few horses, no one would have jumped out to say anything. Zong Ze brought these horses from afar not to satisfy the official's desire.
I wanted to give it to Huang Qianshan, but I was rejected by Huang Qianshan.
Even if Huang Qianshan said it nicely, Zong Ze knew that Huang Qianshan actually thought this Dianma was too ugly!
Now Yu Yin took it all without saying a word, which really solved Zong Ze’s urgent need.
After Yu Yin ordered Huo Jian, he pulled the saddle and picked the stirrups and sat on the back of the horse.
"Sister Jiuer, I'm very happy to take care of you at home. Remember to wait for me to take care of Miss Li in Guanyinyuan, so don't shorten her cost."
Yan Nu nodded vigorously with tears in her eyes.
The sixth brothers Zong An also got on the horse at this time. With Yu Yin's whistle, the three of them beat the horse and whipped it, disappearing into the vast night...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It's not dawn yet!
The imperial city of the Song Dynasty was in chaos.
First, a thief crossed the river, which scared the Zhao family's father and son, and then Zhao Chen was assassinated, which made Zhao Huan even more frightened.
Since the abdication of the throne, Emperor Huizong always felt unsafe to stay in Kaifeng and wanted to leave several times. Now he heard that the Jurchens had fought the Yellow River and were even more restless. It was just because Zhao Chen was assassinated, which made him difficult to speak.
"Mr. Dao, this is a good opportunity!"
"Good opportunity?"
Emperor Huizong looked at Tong Guan with a look of confusion.
Tong Guan was an eunuch, so he could naturally stay in the palace... In fact, since Qinzong ascended the throne, he felt something was wrong. He hid beside Emperor Huizong and did not dare to go out at all. What happened later also confirmed his guess. Li Yan was sentenced to death, and he and Zhu Xie were ordered to return to the land. Tong Guan believed that as long as he dared to go out, he would not escape Zhao Huan's vicious hands.
No wonder, when Emperor Huizong intended to depose the crown prince, Tong Guan strongly supported it.
Now that Zhao Huan has become the emperor, how can he have good fruits?
After following Emperor Huizong for many years, how could Tong Guan not understand Emperor Huizong’s thoughts?
"Now the prince was assassinated. He must have offended the immortal... Why didn't the Supreme Taoist Lord tell the official family that he went to Haozhou to burn incense and pray for the prince? I think the official family would not refuse the good intentions of the Taoist Lord. He is not talented and is willing to lead the victorious army and protect the emperor..."
Burning incense for the prince? That's nonsense!
To put it bluntly, Tong Guan’s meaning is to take this opportunity to leave Tokyo and flee to the southeast.
Didn’t Zhao Huan always refuse to let go? Now that you pray for your grandson, Zhao Huan has no excuse to refuse. As long as you arrive in Jinling, you will have a lot of opportunities.
Emperor Huizong couldn't help but lit up his eyes when he heard this.
"Yes, the guy was so frightened. If you don't pray for blessings, how can you suppress your shock?
But Dolfon, you won only three thousand Jet troops in your hands. Should you notify Gao Qiu again and ask him to lead the imperial guards to accompany you?"
Tong Guan glanced at the corner of his mouth, "I am just a villain in my second year of high school. Since the Taishang Taoist abdicated, how many times will he come to pay his respects?
I heard from someone that I have been to court every day recently and respectfully to the official family... I am afraid that the kindness of the Supreme Taoist Lord to him in the past has long been forgotten. If I brought him with me, I will be suspected by the official family. Although the Shengjie Army is only 3,000, it is indeed the elite brought by the old slave from the northwest, which is enough to protect the official family. In my opinion, it is better not to call him in the second year of high school."
Tong Guan never misses Gao Qiu.
No wonder he was born in the army, and had supervised the northwest and made many military achievements.
But what about Gao Qiu?
However, by kicking Haoju a few times, he got the position of Taiwei of the Palace. How could Tong Guan take him seriously? Moreover, the two of them have always had conflicts! After all, they had a big gap before, and the gap was very big, and they didn't like each other.
Emperor Huizong also felt polite after hearing Tong Guan's words.
The face darkened and he said softly: "Gao Qiu is the Grand Marshal in front of the palace. It is normal for him to serve the official family. Do not talk nonsense.
But it is true that you have three thousand victories in the army, and it is not very suitable to call Gao Qiu again.
Let's do this, Zhu Xie has been released into the fields now, and he has nothing to do at home, so he will ask him to accompany him."
Although Zhu Xie is a commoner now, he was in Suzhou and Hangzhou, but he had a deep foundation and had a close relationship in the southeast.
With Zhu Jie here, it can reduce a lot of trouble for Huizong.
To be continued...
