Ancient promotion routine

Although King Jin had never commanded an army, he still knew the art of war. He knew that Wang Zhi also discovered the advantages of ordinary guards. He is famous for his quick response, so he wanted to take advantage of the fast speed of ordinary guards to attack the flanks of the Black Feather Army. Before the Black Feather Army could react, he quickly dispersed the Black Feather Army, and then defeated them one by one. this strategy.

As expected by him and Wang Zhi, under the galloping charge of the ordinary guards, the flanks of the Black Feather Army quickly collapsed, and the formation was soon disrupted by the ordinary guards.

After a while, the ordinary guards knocked off the elites of the Black Feather Army one by one, and retreated with gold.

"We actually won!" The team of ordinary guards couldn't believe it at first, but finally looked at each other excitedly and defeated the elite of the Black Feather Army, which was enough to make them brag for a long time after drinking.

The Black Feather Army had never lost so badly before, and they all looked at the horses of the ordinary guards aggrievedly, curious and unbearable.

The leader of the ordinary guards, Wang Zhi, got off his horse and came to the emperor. He knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists together and said, "Your Majesty, these stirrups and saddles are really a miracle! I just got on the horse, and I didn't need to use my legs to exert strength. You need to step on the stirrups with both feet, and you can sit on the horse and run steadily. When fighting, the minister does not need to worry about falling off the horse due to lack of strength, and can concentrate on fighting. If the entire army's war horses are equipped with stirrups and saddles, our army Your strength can be increased by more than three times!"

Wang Zhi's words were impassioned, and his words did not conceal the excitement and excitement in his heart.

The emperor looked at the horse with the saddle and stirrups and couldn't regain his senses for a long time. Hearing Wang Zhi's words, he couldn't help admiring: "God bless me, Wei, to have developed such a miracle!"

After letting Wang Zhi fall flat, the emperor still couldn't hold back his excitement, and waved his hands: "I didn't expect that the stirrup and saddle are so magical, go and bring me a war horse, I want to try it myself!"

King Jin hurriedly went to bring a war horse to the emperor himself, and checked that the stirrups and saddle were installed very firmly, and then handed the horse to the emperor.

After the emperor got on his horse, he waved his whip and galloped across the field.

Looking at the emperor's heroic appearance, Zhang Yanjin couldn't help being speechless. Today's emperor is capable of writing and martial arts, and he can be described as a gallant gallop.

After running several laps in a row, the emperor pulled the reins excitedly, and said condescendingly, "The stirrups and saddle are really amazing!"

"Father's figure is really vigorous, riding on a horse, like a real dragon hovering under the sky!" King Jin praised.

After the emperor dismounted from his horse, he handed the whip to the eunuch in charge and said to King Jin with a smile, "You are very good, King Jin."

King Jin laughed quickly and said: "This is what the minister should do. The minister is the son of the emperor, so he should share his worries for the emperor."

The emperor nodded, liking this smart and filial son more and more, then he glanced at Zhang Yanjin who had been standing silently by the side with his hands down.

Zhang Yanjin's heart tightened, knowing that it was his turn, she took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

Emperor Sheng Yuan said: "I heard King Jin say that you developed the stirrups and saddles, and that if these stirrups and saddles are used in the army, they will be of great use to the country and society?"

Zhang Yanjin made up her mind, and hurried forward and said: "These stirrups and saddles are indeed developed by the grass people, but the grass people only wanted to use the stirrups and saddles for polo games at first, and wanted to let themselves ride on horses. Caomin's uncle saw it and said that Caomin only eats, drinks and has fun. If the stirrups and saddles are used for cavalry war horses, it can make the Wei soldiers more brave, greatly enhance their combat effectiveness, and reduce casualties on the battlefield. Only then dared to propose to His Royal Highness King Jin!"

"Your uncle?" the emperor said thoughtfully, "Why didn't he speak directly to me?"

Zhang Yanjin scratched his head, as if he was very embarrassed, "Your Majesty, the grassroots dare not lie. At first, the stirrups and saddles were not what His Majesty saw now. At the beginning, the grassroots only thought they could be used for playing polo. That’s enough, so I only made a simple design. At that time, the stirrups and saddles could only last a polo match before being discarded. After my uncle thought that the stirrups and saddles could be used on the battlefield, Cao Min wanted to fight with horses on the battlefield. The game is incomparable, and the movement is all about the safety of the soldiers, so we carefully modified the stirrups and saddles, and this is how the stirrups and saddles look like now."

He glanced at the emperor quietly, and saw that the emperor was looking at him with great interest, so he continued to explain: "It just so happens that today's Caomin competition, His Royal Highness Prince Jin also cares about the court, and when he saw the stirrups and saddles, he wanted to give His Majesty some advice, Caomin That's why I have the courage to enter the palace with His Highness King Jin."

The emperor looked at Zhang Yanjin's bewildered look, pointed at Zhang Yanjin and said with a smile: "You kid, you are usually a fool, but you have done a good deed!"

Zhang Yanjin felt relieved when he heard the emperor's laughter. "It's all well taught by my uncle on weekdays." Zhang Yanjin lowered her head and said very modestly.

Seeing Zhang Yanjin like this, the emperor dealt with those old foxes all day long, met such an honest person, and found Zhang Yanjin pleasing to the eye, he waved his hand and said, "Get up!"

Then he said, "Your uncle fought with me in the north and south, and he has always cared about my Great Wei Sheji. As his nephew, you will learn more from him in the future!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yanjin breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor meant that he did not abandon his uncle at all?

Thinking of this, his mind became active again. In this way, wouldn't he feel guilty about making Zhang Zhongqian lose face because he robbed Li Rongniang by force, and he can continue to be his playboy?

At this moment, the emperor seemed to think of something again and said: "I asked your uncle to explain, why is there no movement yet?"

This made Zhang Yanjin almost break out in cold sweat again.Because his uncle asked him to marry Li Rongniang, he pretended to be sick, so his uncle stopped.

The emperor manages everything every day, but he still remembers this incident.

Zhang Yanjin's face suddenly collapsed, he knelt down again, pretended to be a fool again and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, Caomin was really absurd a few days ago, so he did something that insulted his family, but Caomin that day After listening to His Majesty's teachings, I have changed my past and changed my mind, but the grassroots feel that they are not yet capable of starting a family."

Although this was pretending, he really hoped in his heart that when the Emperor Longxin was happy, he refused to marry Li Rongniang, so that he could be a wealthy idler in the Zhang family with complete peace of mind.

"It's ridiculous!" The emperor interrupted him: "Zhang Zhongqian, a generation of Confucian generals and famous ministers, how can you have such a nephew who has no responsibility at all? You only think about eating, drinking and having fun. If this continues, you will be worthy of your uncle!"

Zhang Yanjin was startled, he didn't expect the emperor to talk to him so intimately, and from these words, it can be seen that his uncle's position in the emperor's heart, he immediately cupped his hands, showing some distaste on purpose while being respectful. Reluctantly, he said tentatively, "That is what the Holy One taught."

This is indeed Zhang Yanjin's previous virtue.

The emperor looked at Zhang Yanjin, and he was indeed favored by Duke Ning too much. Thinking of the relationship between Duke Ning and Zhang Yanjin's father, he couldn't help but admire Duke Ning's loyalty. .

Thinking of this, he said bluntly: "It seems that you can't be so absurd at home anymore. Since you don't want to start a family and start a business for the time being, then I will help your uncle to train you. Since you invented the stirrup and saddle, then I will help you. Let you be in charge of this matter, you go and get the supplies for the northern suburbs to join the army, and install saddles and stirrups for the soldiers."

Zhang Yanjin was sure.

Is this an official?

He gave the credit to his uncle, originally just to gain favor with his uncle, so as to make it easier for the Ningguo government to survive this crisis, but now the result is completely beyond his expectations.

The emperor still valued his uncle, and his uncle, Zhang Bowen and Zhang Xiuwu had misunderstood before.

The emperor looked like this, so he didn't care about them, he was simply watching the show from above, ready to come out to clean up the situation at any time.

Zhang Yanjin couldn't be more satisfied with this result, and immediately shouted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the grass people will definitely do a good job."

Seeing Zhang Yanjin's relieved expression, Emperor Sheng Yuan didn't bother to look at him anymore, and said, "As a man in Guanzhong, you should be responsible. Don't let me down."

Zhang Yanjin's expression suddenly became bitter, which clearly made him marry Li Rongniang.

Afterwards, his eyes lit up. Although he couldn't completely refuse to marry Li Rongniang, he was going to be an official. The emperor didn't mean to urge him. At least he could buy him some time for the time being. , he can slowly deal with it, he is not afraid that Li Rongniang will not be able to send away the "Tai Sui", isn't he?

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Yanjin said again.

King Jin saw that the emperor was in a happy mood, so he stayed with the emperor on the horse farm for a while, and then took Zhang Yanjin out of the palace.

Because Zhang Yanjin was held by Zhang Zhongqian in front of the emperor, he was already a celebrity in the palace. Before he left the palace today, it was rumored in the palace that he was brought by the king of Jin to meet the emperor. all over.

At the same time, the news that the ordinary guards on the racecourse easily defeated the elite of the Black Feather Army also spread like wildfire.
