Horse riding is not allowed in Chang'an City or in the Nine Cities. Only the imperial guards have the authority to ride horses. In addition, they are allowed to ride horses under emergency military circumstances. If they ride horses in the city at will, they will be imprisoned for a few months. At worst, they will be tortured and abandoned with their hands and feet.

So, October took Liu Chu to the outside of the city to walk his horse.

"Why?"

The fat little boy Tong Botao was not idle either. He strongly asked to follow him and even asked for a horse. Otherwise, if there were any horses on both October and Liu Chu, he would not have one, which was obviously too boring.

But this horse doesn't look like a horse, but a donkey.

"Are you embarrassed? You ride a horse, I ride a donkey?" Tong Botao crossed his arms in front of his chest, glanced at the short guy beside him, expressing strong protest.

"Donkey? Who said yours is a donkey?" said October.

"Don't tell me this is a horse, I can still tell the difference between a donkey and a horse!" Tong Botao said angrily.

"This is a mule!" October shook his head. It was terrible that it was uneducated.

Tong Botao opened his mouth wide and completely petrified there.

Liu Chu almost burst into laughter.

"Good horse, let's go!" Liu Chu turned over the horse, raised the reins, and the red blood dragon horse suddenly rushed forward, almost throwing Liu Chu off the horse's back.

"I'll go, it's a bit fast!" Liu Chu was surprised. The red blood dragon foal was extremely fast. It was indeed not considered a horse, but a type of strange beast.

This speed is really no problem to travel thousands of miles a day!

You should know that the daily efficiency of a good horse is only between two or three hundred kilometers, and it is really amazing to travel thousands of miles a day.

Among the nine countries, the horses in Yan State are the best. They are located in the grassland area and are rich in good horses. The average daily travel of horses in Yan State can reach more than 400 kilometers.

The horses of the Great Wei were second, ranking second among the nine countries, and were the only one who could compete with Yan.

Liu Chuyi turned around and October was left far behind. As for the fat man Tong Botao, he could no longer see his shadow.

This horse is exciting!

The Great Wei was still in front of the Chen State, and the post station was set up every fifty miles. Now it has become a post station every thirty miles away. There is one thirty miles east of Xing'an City.

The bright red sunset shone on the eyes, and each person rode and showed up on the horizon with long tail shadows. When he arrived at the gate of the military post, the man flew down from the horse. The person flew down because the horse suddenly slowed down and the person was not stable. He lay on the ground and fell and ate his shit.

The officers and soldiers at the military post gate did not laugh when they saw this, but ran over with a serious look on their faces. Because the man was obviously exhausted, the officers and soldiers of the military post squatted down to check the man's physical condition, the horse next to them suddenly fell to the ground and foamed at the mouth.

How long has this been running day and night?

"From Bingzhou?" The military post officer recognized the mark on the horse's iron hooves and understood in an instant that the soldier must have arrived from Bingzhou. In order to convey the emergency military information, he did not have to change horses at each post station, but took the shortcut at the shortest distance. Otherwise, with the setting of the 30-mile post station in the Great Wei Dynasty, it would be impossible to run the horse like this.

The military posts are all set on flat official roads, which is destined to be a straight line, with many twists and turns, and the line segment between the two points is the shortest. This soldier from Bingzhou must have come over mountains and ridges.

What an urgent military situation is this?

"Brother, you have a good rest and leave it to me." The officers and soldiers of the military post received the information from the soldiers of Bingzhou, saluted a military salute, and immediately prepared horses to run to Chang'an Imperial City.

The Bingzhou soldiers seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, their slightly stiff body softened, and were carried to bed to rest, and the horses were well taken care of.

Liu Chu, who was riding a horse back and was about to look for the little fat man Tong Botao, suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind.

"Emergency military information, please avoid it! Emergency military information, please avoid it!"

A man behind him shouted, and Liu Chu immediately pulled the reins, letting the Red Blood Dragon Horse run aside and let the Lord out of the way.

“Emergency military information?”

Liu Chu frowned slightly. Since the incident 16 years ago, the nine countries have developed peacefully for 16 years. Of course, there is no war in these 16 years. However, it is just a small-scale friction. At most, both sides pull out the army, and then the two main generals will discuss with each other, and then withdraw their troops. To put it bluntly, it is "training and training."

This time, an emergency military situation appeared, which seemed to be sending some signal.

Emperor Wei was reviewing memorials at Jiuji Hall. Jiuji Hall was newly built 16 years ago. It was the most nine. The "Emperor" was the most human, which shows the ambition and courage of Emperor Wei.

Jiuji Palace is the private study room of Emperor Wei. Few people can come in here. Except for some close ministers, Wei Wuxian, the general manager who is responsible for taking care of Emperor Wei, can stay here all the time, but most of the time they are waiting outside the door.

Some people say that Emperor Wei’s illness was actually pretending, but Emperor Wei vomited blood in front of the court officials several times, so most people still believe that His Majesty was seriously ill.

Emperor Chen Fengxian of Wei looked at the memorial in his hand and felt very helpless. No one would have thought that one-third of the memorials were all nonsense.

For example, Ye Liang, the owner of the Rongzhi Mansion in Qingzhou, made the memorial on which he wrote was actually a short essay! It describes how beautiful the autumn scenery in the south is, how hard the farmers work in the busy autumn harvest season, and also asked His Majesty if he wanted to eat the rice he planted himself.

This is completely like chatting and arguing. Where is it like a memorial written by a mansion? In the eyes of ordinary people, memorials must be major events, such as where there is a natural disaster or where there is a plague.

For example, Xu Huaichen, the governor of Yangzhou Prefecture, only one sentence was on the memorial, which was a greeting, "Is my emperor in good health recently?"

Xu Huaichen is a genius, otherwise the Emperor of Wei would not have put him in an important position as a provincial governor. The provincial governor is equivalent to a great history of borders. The emperor is far away, so he is the boss.

In addition to his outstanding ability, Xu Huaichen has another point, that is, he is very good at flattering. The key is that he is not artificial at all. Flattery, such as the words he greets Emperor Wei now.

Almost everyone in the world knows that Emperor Wei is sick and his health has not been very good, so he has not recovered. At least to outsiders, this is the case, but Xu Huaichen still has to ask if he is healthy. Isn’t this a pain point?

But Emperor Wei was not angry at all because Xu Huaichen was a discerning person. With such a smart person to help him protect a state, Emperor Wei was happy from the bottom of his heart.

Emperor Wei is really seriously ill?

The answer is yes, but it is not as serious as the outside world thinks. It is just a stubborn disease that cannot be eliminated. Emperor Wei is too lazy to explain. If the outside world misunderstands, he can take advantage of this to get rid of some unstable factors and see if anyone will put his ideas on him, the "sick emperor".

The most serious illness that Emperor Wei suffered was heart disease. In the past sixteen years, the Great Wei has really withered talents. If this continues for no more than ten years, the talents of the other eight countries will surpass the Great Wei.

The future of a country is definitely in young people with ideals, ambitions and ability. Such young people are the strong foundation for a country's future.

It would be fine if there were no outstanding young generals in the military generals, but even in the civil officials, there were not many decent young people who could be promoted. This is really a tragic phenomenon.

The president of Aolu Academy is from Wei, but every time he presents awards to the top ten outstanding young people at the graduation ceremony, he is awarded to people from other countries, and there is not a single person from Wei. How frustrating is this? Emperor Wei also felt wronged. This is simply a joke, but he really has no choice but to hope to find good talents in the grass and wilderness.

Thinking of this, Emperor Wei picked up a pen and wrote a reply, "Everything is fine, it's hard to cure my heart."

After writing the reply, Emperor Wei frowned again, thought for a moment, picked up a piece of white paper, pondered for a while, and picked up a pen to write two words, which was the name of a person.

Mu Qing.

In addition to the heart disease of the withering of talents, Emperor Wei also had another heart disease, that is, Mu Qing. Emperor Wei believed that Mu Qing would not do anything to be sorry to the Wei State, but he also believed that Mu Qing would do something to be sorry to the royal family one day!

"Wei Wuxian." Emperor Wei shouted.

It was getting late at night, and Wei Wuxian at the door stood at the door for a whole day and felt a little tired. He unconsciously narrowed his eyes and started to doze. He had not had a good rest for nearly six years and was waiting at the gate of Jiuji Palace almost every day.

Since Emperor Wei was ill, he was supposed to have a good rest, but he hid in Jiuji Palace every day, as if he had no time to go, and he hoped to completely govern the country as soon as possible. Moreover, he heard that Emperor Wei was intending to let the eldest prince assist in the administration, but he didn't know whether it was true or false.

Hearing the shout of Emperor Wei, Wei Wuxian immediately returned to his soul and immediately pushed the door gently and walked in.

"The slave is here."

"Send this to Lu Zhengxuan."

"Slaves obey the order."

Wei Wuxian lowered his head and took the piece of paper rolled up to the size of his fingers, and gently retreated from Jiuji Palace.

He could have given his subordinates a job, but did not do this, but went to the prison in person.

After following Emperor Wei for so many years, if Wei Wuxian was not smart enough, he would have been unable to sit in the position of the general manager.

Emperor Wei said, "Take this" and hand it over to Lu Zhengxuan, instead of "ordering people" to hand it over to Lu Zhengxuan. The difference between the two words reveals too much.

If it is a "destined person", it means that Wei Wuxian just needs to send it to him, but the Emperor of Wei said it was "put this", which means that this thing is very important, and Wei Wuxian has to send it to him himself.

Being with the king is like being with a tiger. The emperor’s intentions are not so easy to guess. People who have no brains can’t sit steadily in this position.

The Criminal Prison is one of the six ministries, which is in charge of judicial trials and has the function of supervising officials. Therefore, the Criminal Prison is the least welcomed by all court officials. The people in the Criminal Prison are always lonely and have no friends.

After Lu Zhengxuan received the paper delivered by Wei Wuxian, he looked at the content on the paper and was stunned for a long time. Is this going to make a big move?

After watching Wei Wuxian leave, Lu Zhengxuan began to guess in his heart what our Majesty is going to do. Although there is only one name on the paper, he who knows Emperor Wei understands the complexity of the matter. Emperor Wei should not mean to investigate Mu Qing thoroughly, but to keep a close eye on him and the people around him.

"Your Majesty, I'm here." Wei Wuxian came back to report.

Emperor Wei nodded and waved his hand to signal Wei Wuxian to retreat. Wei Wuxian arched his body and retreated out, carefully closing the door.

"Huh?" Emperor Wei frowned slightly, and shouted again because Wei Wuxian had just left.

"Your Majesty, there is an emergency military situation."

"Bring people in." Emperor Wei ordered outside the door.

Wei Wuxian brought the military officers and soldiers in. When the officers and soldiers saw Emperor Wei, they kowtowed and bowed, then took out the letter paper on their bodies and handed it to Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian jogged forward and presented it to Emperor Wei.

Emperor Wei unfolded the letter paper, and the words were densely written on it. Emperor Wei read the content of the letter expressionlessly, and sat there with the letter blankly on his face.

A moment later, Emperor Wei sighed first, then laughed again, as cunning as a victorious old fox.

Emperor Wei put down the letter paper and whispered, "The wolf is here."
