Straight man of steel

Chapter 166 Surveillance of the whole world

The clouds are bright and the wind is clear, and the spirit is refreshing.

Even in summer, riding horses in the wilderness, you won't feel the heat.

The farther you are from Chang'an, the more you can feel that many disturbing things are gradually moving away from you.

Between Chang'an City and Lantian County is Du County. After Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty built a mausoleum here, it would be called Du Ling.

After the opening of Shanglin Garden, this piece of Hongguyuan will become the favorite outing place for literati.

There was no one around, and Zhang Yuan's mood gradually changed from bored to cheerful. He rode his horse to the vicinity of Chanshui and looked in the direction of Chang'an.

After a while, he galloped again without the slightest nostalgia.

When Zhang Yuan returned to his home, an embroidered emissary also stood in front of Liu Che.

"Your Majesty, after leaving Jianzhang Palace yesterday, Tingwei Zuojian Zhang Yuan immediately went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to apologize to the Prime Minister.

At that time, the Prime Minister retreated, and no content of the conversation was heard. It was only said that the Prime Minister's angry roar occasionally came out.

Then Tingwei Zuojian and the prime minister's guest Jifu left the prime minister's mansion together, and spent the night at Jifu's home.

Ji Fu left his mansion early this morning and went to Ganquan Palace with the prime minister.

Zhang Yuan, the left supervisor of Tingwei, waited until the afternoon before coming out, and finally went to Dongshi to buy a horse and went back to the fief of Lantian.

The envoy who followed Zhang Yuan, the left supervisor of Tingwei, said that he seemed to be in a happier mood after leaving Chang'an, and the reason for this is unknown. "

The Embroidered Clothes Messenger is like this. He only reports on the process and never mixes his own feelings or subjective assumptions into what happened.

If they described the cause, process and result of the incident with their personal emotions, it would be a different scene in front of Liu Che.

"Is there nothing suspicious about it?"

The answer Liu Che heard was obviously not what he wanted to hear.

Jifu told Zhang Yuan so much at home, Liu Che had no way of knowing, because there were not many embroidered messengers, and no one could enter Jifu's home in an emergency.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is something suspicious. When Tingwei Zuojian left the Prime Minister's Mansion, he met His Royal Highness the King of Huainan."

"Liu Ling?"

"Yes."

"Why didn't you say it before?"

"Your Majesty, I believe that the affairs of our lord are beyond my scope.

This matter should be reported to His Majesty by the supervisor who supervises the Weng Lord.

Tingwei Zuojian Zhang Yuan met the princess accidentally, but the princess went to the Prime Minister's Mansion late at night intentionally. "

Liu Che didn't like to listen to useless nonsense, which caused these embroidered clothes emissaries to delete some irrelevant things when they told the story. Liu Ling's encounter with Zhang Yuan was an irrelevant matter to them.

"Okay, I get it.

In half a year, Zhang Yuan should not come to Chang'an.

He is afraid of me, so he wants to leave my sight. I don't worry about such people, because they have fear in their hearts.

From today on, you only need to send one person to monitor outside the Zhangyuan fiefdom, record the people coming and going, and report anything suspicious.

The rest of the idlers tried to infiltrate Jifu for me, and now I am more interested in the counselor next to the prime minister. "

The Embroidered Clothes Envoys were a little dazed. Since their establishment, they have never been ordered to monitor a commoner.

"But Your Majesty, this blessing is not an official, so it should not be harmful to the big man."

Liu Che's face turned cold, and he said sharply.

"I will do what I say, you know?"

The embroidered clothes envoy's complexion changed immediately, and he knelt down on the ground and promised repeatedly.

"Go down."

"Here."

A few days later, Wei Qing, who rode his horse and charged in the Shanglin Garden, could not suppress his smile after he stopped.

Liu Che entrusted Wei Qing to test the efficacy of the horseshoe, so that Wei Qing could also sneak in a month from his busy schedule.

In the past few days, he took two followers and hunted in Shanglin Garden all day long.

His own horse was shod, but the other two attendants were not.

At this moment, he stopped and looked at the changes in the horseshoes of the horses. He was delighted to find that the horseshoes of the horseshoeed horseshoes were hardly worn out.

When horses run with heavy loads for a long time, the wear and tear of the horse's hoofs cannot be balanced with their own growth, and the horses' hoofs will be quickly worn or even split. As a result, such war horses can no longer be ridden.

Although the reason for the small number of war horses in the Han Dynasty is due to the pastures, the most important thing is the loss of war horses.

Once there are horseshoes, everything will be different, the number of cavalry will increase, and the ability of cavalry to run long distances will also increase.

"Servant, this horseshoe is really effective."

The two attendants around seemed happier than Wei Qing. They were palace guards and belonged to the Southern Army. Naturally, they hoped that the horses would not be worn out.

Wei Qing's eyes also started to flash, and then he looked towards the east.

Get on the horse, then raise the whip and point to the east.

"Come on, let's go east."

"Here."

He came with two wild boars and three wild deer.

Wei Qing rushed for most of the day, and finally arrived at Zhang's mansion before sunset.

This is the first time Wei Qing has come to Zhang Yuan's home, and he has been surprised since entering Fengtian.

Zhang Yuan looked at the prey all over the place with joy.

In principle, all the wild beasts in Shanglin Garden belong to Liu Che, and Zhang Yuan does not have the guts to let his family members go hunting.

Only the wild boars that occasionally broke into the fields would be caught and slaughtered by the family members for a taste.

Looking at the two wild boars and the three wild deer, Zhang Yuan felt that he could live a comfortable life again in the next few days.

"Young brother, why are you free?"

Zhang Yuan patted Wei Qing's shoulder and said with a smile.

Wei Qing pointed to the horseshoe of the war horse.

Zhang Yuan knew what the horseshoe meant when he saw it, and immediately turned his head to Lao Zhao.

"Old Zhao, move these horses outside the house and build a temporary shed."

Old Zhao was very puzzled and asked Zhang Yuan.

"Patriarch, there is a stable in the house, why bother to spend more energy building another one."

Zhang Yuan said angrily.

"If you want to take a ride, you can take it. Look at you, you eat so much all day long, and the creases on your face are stretched out with so much flesh on your body."

Lao Zhao realized that he was asking for trouble, so he promised and got off the reins to handle the matter.

"Brother Yuan, is there someone watching you?"

Wei Qing asked Zhang Yuan in a low voice.

Zhang Yuan smiled wryly.

"Who can escape? As a courtier, you just need to be careful in everything. If you reveal everything to others, there will be less suspicion."

After saying this, Zhang Yuan smiled again.

"Let's go to the main building. Tonight, you have to taste the delicious food made by the chef in my house, as well as the homemade wine."

Wei Qing also laughed and walked towards the main building with Zhang Yuan. His two followers were introduced to the guest house by Li Jian and Zong Xing to entertain them.
