Chapter 146 Li Zheng raising horses

"Your Highness Princess, can you put your sword down first?"

Li Lizhi still held her sword and posed it on Li Zheng's neck.

Li Zheng looked at Jianbian carefully and said, "Your Highness Princess, you may be a widow if you continue this sword."

"Would you marry me?"

Only then did Li Lizhi withdraw the sword in her hand, blushed and looked at the female guard beside her and shouted in a sweet voice: "What are you looking at!"

Wow!

More than a dozen female guards turned around neatly, like a human wall.

Li Zheng sighed, "Although he is not good-looking, he is still a talent."

"Bah! It's a bargain!" Li Lizhi said, turning around and leaving with a blushing face.

A group of female guards also escorted the satisfied Li Lizhi away.

Finally, it was safe. Li Zheng sat down with all his strength. The princess of the Tang Dynasty was indeed in danger. If he said something wrong just now, I am afraid that his life would be lost.

Sure enough, it is correct to be a little bit miserable.

When he returned home, Li Zheng said to Li Yifu: "If we continue to pass on the message, we will not take on the business of the five surnames from today."

Li Yifu said carefully: "But this is too offensive."

"Just say it was what Your Majesty said now."

"Your Majesty now? Could it be..."

Li Zheng said to him: "Don't worry, there are people behind us. Even if they want to deal with it, they have to consider their own weight."

"Understood."

Li Yi's mansion walked out of Li Zheng's house and thought to himself that General Li Jing was Li Zheng's teacher, and he was doing business with General Cheng Yaojin of Chang'an, and supported by His Majesty now, so he was overwhelmed.

The decree was soon received in the court, and the eunuch who announced the decree was an old acquaintance.

Li Zheng greeted politely: "This father-in-law, we are meeting again."

"The county marquis is not sick this time?"

Li Zheng said awkwardly: "It was originally an illness. This is not because His Highness of the King of Wei has paid back the money, and my illness has been cured."

The old eunuch nodded, "Then the old slave will announce the order?"

"No need, I'll see it myself." Li Zheng took the imperial edict and started to look at it.

When the old eunuch saw Li Zheng's actions, he looked at the two rows of guards behind him and said, "County Marquis, this is not suitable, so it's better to follow the rules."

After reading the order, Li Zheng asked: "What is the position of the commander of the Longwu Army's Flying Cavalry Camp."

The old eunuch explained: "It's a military post."

"Then my previous civil service?"

The old eunuch said again: "That's right. Pingzhangshi is also the official position of the county marquis, and the commander of the Longwu Army is also the official position of the county marquis."

Li Zheng glanced at the guard behind and whispered: "Do I have two salary?"

"right."

Li Zheng said again: "You said I have been doing Pingzhang for more than three months, and I haven't seen this salary for a penny."

The old eunuch smiled and said, "The county marquis didn't go on duty for a day. You said, "Your Majesty can give you a salary."

"It's right." Li Zheng asked again: "What does this Feiqi Camp Captain do?"

The old eunuch smiled and whistled, and the sound of a galloping horse came from afar.

Li Zhengxun looked at thousands of war horses coming towards Jingyang Village.

The eunuch said, "I am the one who raises horses."

" Raise horses?! You said your Majesty asked me to raise horses?" Li Zheng pointed to the imperial edict.

The old eunuch nodded.

"Then I don't have a horse farm."

The old eunuch smiled and said, "Princess Changle's fief is next door. I originally planned to build a horse farm, but now I can raise horses for the county marquis."

Li Zheng smiled bitterly, "So everything is ready for me, right?"

The old eunuch whispered again: "Your Majesty has already intended to marry the princess to the county marquis, but there has been no order yet. Sooner or later, the lands of the county marquis who marry the princess will be the princess."

"I have no experience in raising horses. What if I die?"

"If you can't raise it, you will have special soldiers to do your business, so don't worry, the county marquis."

Looking at the horses, Li Zheng was very confused.

You said, Li Er, why do you want me to raise horses?

If one day I can't help but want to chop the horse and eat it, what should I do?

Li Zheng asked in a low voice: "This father-in-law, I don't know if I should ask."

"Please speak with the county marquis?"

Li Zheng said: "Actually, I don't know some rules."

The old eunuch nodded pertinently. It seemed that the county marquis was quite modest and willing to ask questions, "Please speak."

Li Zheng asked with the imperial edict, "You said you should raise horses before becoming a prince consort? When did our Tang Dynasty have this rule?"

...

To be a prince consort, do you need to raise a horse first?

You said you, Li Er, aren’t this embarrassing?

I can't even ride a horse.

Several soldiers pulled all these horses to the princess fiefdom.

It is said that the princess' fiefdom has always been quite good, and there are so many paddy fields that are good for growing food.

Seeing a few soldiers trying to circle the place, Li Zheng hurriedly said, "What are you doing?"

The soldier bowed respectfully and said, "When you return to the lieutenant, you will easily run around if you don't wrap these horses."

"The horses need to run more, otherwise it will be easy to get rid of them." Li Zheng said to the soldier who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, "What's your name?"

"The humble position is Xu Dahu, deputy commander of the Longwu Guard Feiqi Camp."

The Longwu Army belonged to the Northern Imperial Army of the Tang Dynasty, belonged to the emperor's personal armed forces, and was also the emperor's direct troops.

The fact that the Xuanwu Gate on the north side of Chang'an City was related to the Longwu Army.

It is possible that this team is the most important soldier Li Shimin valued.

I heard from Dahu that these more than 3,000 war horses were brought back by General Li Jing when he went to fight against the Turks.

Li Zheng observed that some of the horses' hooves were worn out very much, "Can such a horse run fast?"

Dahu replied, "If the horse's hooves are gone, the horse will never be able to run."

"Don't you have horseshoes?"

“What is a horseshoe?”

Li Zheng sighed and said, "You ancients didn't care about horses, and they didn't even know about horses's hooves."

Chang'an

The fact that Your Majesty wants to marry the princess to Li Zheng spread like wildfire in Chang'an.

There was no order, but the Ministry of Rites was already choosing the day.

Openly and secretly, Li Zheng is now the qualifying prince-consort of the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, Empress Changsun has also visited Li Zheng in person.

The princess of the dynasty married a county marquis.

A marriage that is not right.

Although Li Zheng was talented but his background was too low, he was neither a big clan nor a powerful man, nor a minister of the country.

His Majesty's princess is of course the pearl in the entire Chang'an.

Li Shimin was very happy to see the memorials of harvest in various places. Finally, he could breathe a sigh of relief and the grain in various places began to harvest.

Empress Changsun gave birth to a little rhino, and Li Shimin almost always reviewed the memorials here these days.
