Straight man of steel

Chapter 171
The rhythm of Wei Qing's words became faster and faster, and his expression became more and more excited. He wished to lead the big Han cavalry to gallop on the northern grasslands to compete with the Huns immediately.

"Tell me, why did you become so proficient in riding in a short period of time, this horse is not a good horse."

Liu Che's vision has long been cultivated, and the worst horse in his stable is much better than Wei Qing's.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this horse is already regarded as a good horse in the army. The reason for your great riding skills is not on the horse, but on the stirrup."

Wei Qing replied truthfully. When he said this, hundreds of officials in the hall stretched their necks and looked at the stirrups of the horses.

Ji An walked out at that time, walked around the horse a few times, and finally took off the stirrup to look at it several times.

"Your Majesty, Jianzhang Supervisor Wei Qing is deceiving the emperor, I see that there is nothing special about this stirrup.

If your majesty doesn't believe it, you can take a look, or ask the sergeant in the palace to compare the stirrups of other horses. "

The words are not surprising, and Ji An is relying on this ability to get along, and no one in the court has made friends with him.

Now that Ji An is taking the lead, those officials who were unhappy with Wei Qing did not say that they came out to criticize Wei Qing together.

Ji An offended too many people, compared to Wei Qing, who is much more humble.

Liu Che nodded, and Wang Sui immediately went down and took out the stirrup from Ji An's hand and presented it to Liu Che.

Liu Che is a horse lover, so he can naturally see the difference between the stirrups at a glance.

Soon his expression became a little strange, and his brows began to frown.

It's not that Wei Qing doesn't want to explain, he just pays more attention to this matter when he knows that a person's mood has fallen.

Besides, with so many ministers present and such an emperor, who would admit that his intelligence is not enough, and he can't even see through such a small thing.

"Wei Qing, you are so courageous. What the lord and captain said is true. Do you know that this is deceiving the emperor?"

Even though Liu Che was angry, he still wanted to give Wei Qing a chance to explain, otherwise the others would be dragged down if they didn't see the chance to explain.

Wei Qing smiled calmly, walked to the side of the horse, and took off the stirrup. The calmer he behaved, the more inscrutable he gave others.

With so many officials present, each of them felt that he had seen a fake Wei Qing today, as if he had completely changed his personality after not seeing him for a few days.

"Your Majesty, there is still a stirrup here. How can you say that the minister deceives the emperor if you haven't seen it before."

Ji An walked forward, picked up the stirrup in Wei Qing's hand and looked at it again, and found that it was no different from the previous one, and he was about to explode again on the spot.

"Wei Qing, you dare to take advantage of His Majesty's favor and play tricks on His Majesty like this, do you know what kind of crime this is?
Don't you worry about implicating the nobles in the palace and your brothers and sisters? "

Wei Qing used to be respectful to Ji An and regarded Ji An as a person. He also felt that it was a good thing for Liu Che to have such a wise and courageous person in the court in front of Liu Che.

At this moment, it seems that Ji An is really extremely stupid. Liu Che can tolerate such a character, but he cannot tolerate his elder brother.

Liu Che did not speak, but quietly waited for Wei Qing's explanation.

Tian Fu also chose to sit on the sidelines at this moment, not because he could accommodate Wei Qing, but because he was not happy watching Ji An.

Moreover, Tian Fu knew that the relationship between Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan was not simple, and Zhang Yuan's head was very likely to be buried in a thunderbolt, so he had better not get into trouble.

"Reporting to Your Highness, I have not done anything to deceive the emperor, and what the lord and captain said is obviously throwing dirt on my minister.

This stirrup is indeed no different from other stirrups, but think about it, Your Majesty, how many stirrups are there for other war horses?
After thinking about this, I know that I am not playing tricks on you. The lord and captain have been slandering me all the time, and I don't know what his intentions are. "

Ji An gave away his head like this, of course Wei Qing would not let go of such an opportunity, and then Ji An's name will make today's court meeting widely spread among nobles, and it will be much easier to promote bilateral stirrups in the army.

This thing is something that Ji An is opposed to. Since Ji An is annoying, others will naturally vigorously promote the things he doesn't like, which will make Ji An feel uncomfortable. Like uncovering his scars.

Liu Che thought about it briefly, and immediately figured it out, but the officials in the hall, some generals figured it out, but none of the civil servants figured out the key point.

"Wei Qing, when you were on the horse just now, you hooked the two stirrups with your feet, and then your feet followed the ground, and you can use your upper strength.

In this way, even if you are volleying in the air, or if you fall to one side, as long as the horse does not fall, you can use your strength to drag yourself back on the horse's back? "

Liu Che directly pointed out the key points, and the ministers present more or less understood, and Ji An also wanted to understand, and his face immediately turned pale.

Before Wei Qing could confirm what he just said to Liu Che, Ji An immediately threw himself on the ground.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty."

Liu Che frowned, he didn't want to see Ji An now.

"What's your crime, Lord Commander? Your thoughts and thoughts are all for me, and I can understand.

You have wronged Wei Qing just now, if you think about it, Wei Qing can forgive you, but remember not to speak ill of people in my palace in the future. "

Ji An mentioned Wei Zifu either intentionally or unintentionally just now, which made Liu Che very dissatisfied.

Even if Wei Qing is guilty, whether he is implicated or not, that's up to him, Liu Che, and he doesn't care about your damn Ji An.

"Your minister is guilty, and I will never talk about the nobles in the palace again in the future."

This time was the first time that Ji An bowed his head in front of Liu Che, showing such a low profile in front of so many officials, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Now the Han court is like a vast ocean, everyone else is a drop of water, Liu Che is a giant ship, but Ji An doesn't want to be a drop of water, he just wants to be a piece of driftwood.

"Your Majesty, I don't want to blame the lord and captain, just discuss the two-sided stirrups for today's affairs.

You see, Your Majesty, the reason why the Xiongnu cavalry has been crushing our big Han cavalry is that they have a large number of cavalry, and there are wild horses in the grassland to supply the Xiongnu.

My big man has been wearing out his war horses all the time. Now we have horseshoes that can curb the loss of war horses, and double-sided stirrups can improve the cavalry's riding skills.

The quantity and quality of Han cavalry have been greatly improved. Do we still need to be afraid of those Huns whose tactical combat power is no different from that of 100 years ago? "

What Wei Qing said made Liu Che very satisfied, at least it was based on the fantasy in his heart.
