Chapter 1151 The Ai family really gave up their lives to accompany the official family... (first update)
Chapter 1160

"However, Ai's family also heard that the four-wheeled carriage seemed to make the courtiers feel restless. Is there such a thing as an official?" The Empress Dowager Gao Taotao walked out of the Spring and Autumn Palace slowly with the support of the emperor Zhao Xu , while asking the emperor Zhao Xu.

When the Emperor Zhao Xu heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Wang Yang subconsciously, but the problem was that Wang Yang's expression looked very confused at the moment.

As if he didn't understand what kind of disturbance his four-wheeled carriage had caused, Emperor Zhao Xu could only smile dryly.

"Grandmother, shouldn't there be? Grandson presided over the court meeting these days, everything is normal, oh, yes, I heard that these days, those courtiers who originally lived far away, because they changed to a four-wheeled carriage, On the contrary, they came earlier than those officials who were closer to Miyagi..."

While talking, a group of people came to the Yuehua Gate, and saw that the two carriages were still completely covered by the gray cloth, and only the position of the royal hand was exposed to the four-wheeled carriage outside.

"What's going on?" The Empress Dowager asked Wang Yang in a daze.At this time, it was Emperor Zhao Xu who gave the answer in advance.

"Wang Wushan meant to give me a surprise. He said that this four-wheeled carriage was the most stable and comfortable six-horse horse drawn by him, which took the longest time and cost the most money. The Son of Heaven's royal driver..."

"Six horses? The Ai family remembers that "Yi Li·Wang Du Ji" says: 'The emperor drives six horses, the princes drive four, the officials three, the scholars two, and the common people one'..." At this point, the Empress Dowager's eyes changed. Involuntarily falling on Wang Yang's face again, he said with a half-smile.

"However, the Ai family heard that all the ministers and workers of my Great Song Dynasty rode four-wheeled carriages driven by a single horse. Does this not conform to the "Zhou Rituals"?"

Hearing this, Wang Yang rolled his eyes helplessly. It seems that the Empress Dowager said it was a joke and didn't care about it, but in fact, a woman's heart, hehe...

"Your Majesty's words are very true. In fact, this minister has also had such considerations. It's just that I don't have many horses in the Song Dynasty. If many ministers say it is a horse, they may still be able to buy it. If there are too many, I'm afraid. yes……"

Emperor Zhao Xu agreed with Wang Yang's side. "That's right, Grandmother, although we have captured hundreds of thousands of war horses in the Song Dynasty, they are used for military supplies, and very few horses have flowed into the civilian population."

"A bad horse still needs a huge sum of money, and if it is a good horse, it will cost ten times more than this price. Although my Great Song Dynasty has always treated my ministers preferentially, but only relying on the salaries of the ministers and workers... "

"Okay, Aijia is just talking, but having said that, in the Song Dynasty, there was a shortage of horses in the past. As a result, in the fifth year of Yuanyou's investigation, the number of military horses was less than [-]. Repeat tens of thousands of people, speaking of it, this credit is still made by you Wang Wushan."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please come forward and unveil this Emperor's chariot..." Wang Yang chuckled, and then respectfully gestured to the Emperor.

At this time, the imperial squad had already gone straight to bring six excellent horses.But Wu Qilang, Wang Jing and others beside Wang Yang hurried forward to help, and quickly put the six horses into the carriage.

At this time, Emperor Zhao Xu stretched out his hand, grasped the long rope that Wang Yang had mentioned, and pulled it. Suddenly, the curtain that tightly covered the entire carriage slipped down.

In front of the emperor Zhao Xu and the empress dowager, the true face of the emperor's driving car was revealed, and the emperor and the empress dowager squinted their eyes involuntarily at the first glance.

Because it is so darn dazzling, every corner of the entire carriage is wrapped in brass, and the exquisite dragon patterns on the carriage are plated with a layer of blinding gold leaf.

There were even beautiful cloud patterns on the outlines of the four wheels of the carriage, and on the roof of the carriage, there was a golden bead the size of a fist shining brightly.

On the windows of the carriage, there are large transparent crystal pieces, making the entire Emperor's Royal Chariot appear more and more dazzling.

"This, is this really for me?" The Emperor squinted his eyes hard and looked at the golden and noble Emperor's chariot that looked so splendid under the sun.

This thing is really eye-catching. The exquisite sculptures, gorgeous decorations, and elegant shapes make the emperor Zhao Xu want to pounce on it and kiss it.

In the emperor's eyes, this emperor's chariot is really suitable for him.

"I'm afraid the cost of this thing is expensive. Just these carvers and these gold leaves, Wang Wushan, you really put your heart into it..." The Empress Dowager Gao Taotao walked down slowly and looked at it carefully With this exquisite and outrageously luxurious four-wheeled carriage, I really don't know how to exaggerate it.

Well, apart from being too extravagant, there seems to be nothing to fault.But the problem is that since this is the royal car of the emperor, it is normal for it to be more luxurious.

At least the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao is not the kind of unreasonable person. What's more, since he, Wang Wushan, has offered it, could it be possible that the emperor Zhao Xu, who is already stroking the carriage with excitement and smiling from ear to ear, can let him Can't take it back?

"Your Majesty, please get in the car, Wang Jing, you will be your Majesty's charioteer." Wang Yang said immediately when he saw the emperor's expression like that of an excited little kid who saw a very favorite toy.

"Grandmother, how about you boarding the car with your grandson for a test drive?" Emperor Zhao Xu just raised his front skirt, after thinking about it, he retreated to the side of the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao and begged.

"Isn't this thing bumpy?" The Queen Mother Gao Taotao was also very curious about this long-rumored four-wheeled carriage, but she was a little worried. After all, she was old and had brittle bones, so she really couldn't withstand too many bumps.

"Don't worry, Madam, I can guarantee that this thing is definitely more stable and comfortable than soft sedans and ox-carts, and it won't make people feel suffocated while sitting in it." Of course, Wang Yang wanted the Empress Dowager to come up and enjoy it. Enjoy it and stop worrying about finding fault with yourself.

"Forget it, that Aijia really gave up his life to accompany the official's family..." After hesitating for a while, he finally couldn't help being curious, and with the support of the emperor, he stepped on the crossbar and entered the carriage.

After entering, Taihuang Taihuang Gao Taotao couldn't help but be a little surprised. He didn't realize it when he was outside. After getting into the car, he felt that it was very spacious inside.

When she carefully sat on the cushion, she was amazed by the soft and comfortable cushion, and the elastic backrest that fit her waist very well.

But what surprised her the most was the huge piece of crystal on the door of the carriage, which was a foot square. It looked so pure and transparent and did not block her sight at all.

At this time, Emperor Zhao Xu couldn't wait to get in the carriage. This carriage was indeed more comfortable than the four-wheeled carriage he had tried before. Not only was the backrest more reasonable and close to the body, but it also had armrests for his hands to relax.
