Master Lin who was refuted was immediately speechless, silently shut up and stopped talking.

The ministers in the hall didn't dare to say any more, they all kept silent and tried to find a way.

Although they knew that the nomadic dynasty sent troops to harass Wanmen Pass, they just couldn't stop the harassment.

Because as long as they send troops to surround and attack, the cavalry of the nomadic dynasty will immediately turn around and flee.

If left alone, the cavalry of the nomadic dynasty would break through the city gate and break into Wanmen Pass, forcing General Mo and others to send troops to fight.

If you open the door to fight, if there are fewer soldiers, they will rush to massacre, if there are too many soldiers, they will turn around and run away, which is simply without military morality.

Send troops to chase, two legs can't beat other people's four legs.Don't chase, and our soldiers gritted their teeth with anger.

In just a few days, our army was exhausted.

If things go on like this, the morale of our soldiers will definitely plummet, and when all the cavalry of the nomadic dynasty attack, they will definitely be defeated.

Jun Yi can only pin his hopes on the saddle and stirrup that Ye Yang mentioned.

After the morning court, Lord Minister of the Ministry of Industry presented the saddle and stirrup that had been made overnight.

Jun Yi glanced at the strangely shaped saddle and stirrup, with a blank expression on his face, "What is this?"

"Back to the emperor, this is the blueprint sent by Concubine Ye yesterday. Concubine Ye said that this thing is very important, so I led the craftsmen to make it overnight."

As for what it is, he doesn't know either!

Jun Yi nodded, and said to Eunuch Yun, "Yun Xiang, go invite Concubine Ye."

"Here!" Eunuch Yun replied respectfully, then turned and walked towards Jinyang Hall.

Without keeping the two of them waiting for a long time, Ye Yang hurriedly followed behind Eunuch Yun.

"Concubine..." Ye Yanggang said, Jun Yi impatiently interrupted the palace etiquette, "There is no need to salute, Concubine Ye should hurry up and talk about the function of this saddle!"

This saddle is not only weird, but also gaudy, what is the use of it?

"It's done so quickly?" Ye Yang looked at Mr. Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and saw him holding a pair of saddles in his arms, feeling a little admiration in his heart.

He thought it would take a few days to make a saddle, but the people from the Ministry of Industry completed the saddle in half a day and one night.

He stepped forward and took a closer look at the saddle in front of him. It was exactly the same as the one he had drawn, nodded and praised, "That's right, it looks like this."

He picked up the girth of the saddle and pulled it hard a few times. It was very strong and he looked satisfied. He looked at the stirrup again. It was made of iron. Although its shape was simple, it was very practical.

Looking up, he saw that several people around him were staring at the saddle curiously. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go to the stable."

Several people came to the stables, and the eunuchs who took care of the horses stepped forward to salute, "See my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

"Get up!" Jun Yi looked at the horses in the stable and said, "Lead a horse out."

"Here!"

The chief eunuch hurriedly turned around and walked into the stable, leading out a fine pure white horse.

Ye Yang took the saddle from the arms of Master Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and Jun Yi came down to the side of the horse with a probing look on his face. He first spread the Han pad on the horse's back, and then put the saddle on the horse's back.

Suddenly there was something on its back, which made the horse a little uneasy, and its four hooves stomped back and forth on the spot.

Jun Yi looked at the saddle on the horse's back, and a flash of praise flashed in his eyes, as if he already knew the use of this saddle.

"Well, which of you is familiar with this horse?" Ye Yang asked the eunuch who was helping him.

"Mr. Ye Concubine, this is a horse taken care of by my servant, I am familiar with it." A little eunuch replied in a low voice.

"Then you will tie the horse's girth."

It's not that he doesn't know how to tie, but he knows that horses are wary of people they don't know well. If he helps the horse tie the girdle rashly, he will be easily attacked by the horse.

Only those who are familiar with the horse will cooperate with the girdle.

The eunuch who was named was very young, about sixteen or seventeen years old, fair-skinned, and handsome. He looked timidly at the chief eunuch in charge of the stables, not knowing what to do.

The chief eunuch glanced at the young eunuch who had been named, and seeing him standing there at a loss, he scolded in a low voice: "Do whatever Master Ye tells you to do."

Why are you standing there?Waiting to be punished?

Being scolded by the chief eunuch, the little eunuch trembled with fright and hurried forward, looking at the girth on both sides of the saddle at a loss.

Ye Yang saw him standing still, and explained carefully: "Wrap the long strap around the horse's stomach, and then tie it to the strap on the other side."

Holding the belt, the little eunuch looked like he was facing a formidable enemy. The surrounding area was obviously icy and snowy, but fine cold sweat was oozing from his forehead.

He had never seen a saddle before, and seeing Ye Yang dare not, he thought it was a very dangerous thing, so he was frightened and lost his mind, looking at the horse in front of him trembling slightly.

The eunuch in charge at the side saw that Xiaobaicao was stunned in place with fear, and stomped his feet secretly in anxiety. He didn't expect that Xiaobaicao would be stunned at a critical moment.

Ye Yang saw the little eunuch's fear, he patted the little eunuch's shoulder, and comforted him: "You don't have to be afraid, there is no danger, I don't dare to tie the girdle rashly because I am not familiar with this horse. But you and this horse The horse is familiar with it, if you help him tie the girth, it will not resist."

Hearing Ye Yang's gentle comforting voice, Xiaobaicao's nervous mood gradually calmed down, and a tinge of warmth rose in his heart. He never thought that the high-ranking Concubine Ye would be so approachable.

The nervous mood slowly relaxed, he took a deep breath, came to the side of the white horse, stroked the white horse's head lightly, then boldly picked up the girth, went around the horse's belly, and tied it on the other side.

Ye Yang walked to the other side and saw that the girdle was loose and covered with black lines, "Tighten it tight, or the saddle will fall off."

Xiaobaicao hurriedly pulled hard on the horse's girth, causing the white horse to snort uncomfortably and stamp its four hooves back and forth on the spot.

"Don't use too much force!" Ye Yang was convinced and asked him to fasten it, but he didn't let him strangle the horse!Fortunately, the horse was docile and did not resist.If it was a wild horse, maybe the horse would have gone on a rampage.

Knowing that she had done something wrong, Xiaobaicao hung her head, quickly loosened the rope a little, and then fastened the girdle according to the method Ye Yang said.

"That's right, there's also a girdle, fasten it as I said just now."

Ye Yang nodded in satisfaction, then went to Jun Yi's side, and explained with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is the saddle I'm talking about. As long as a person sits on the saddle, it is easy to master the balance, especially the stirrup under the saddle. On the pedals, it’s easier to balance.”

"I'll give it a try!"

Jun Yi couldn't hold back his inner curiosity. Seeing that Xiaobaicao had fastened another girth, he stepped forward to try the effect of this saddle.

"No, Your Majesty!" Eunuch Yun was terrified, what if the saddle is not strong and the Emperor falls down?

"Your Majesty, why don't you let me try it first!" The Minister of the Ministry of Industry did not dare to let Jun Yi try it first, in case something goes wrong later and the emperor falls, it will be their Ministry of Industry that is unlucky!

"What, do you think I'm so unbearable? You can't even ride a horse?" Jun Yi coldly glanced at the two who were dissuading, and quickly got on the horse.

After sitting on the horse, he was pleasantly surprised to find that sitting on the saddle is indeed more comfortable than sitting on the horseback, and the balance is easier to control than sitting on the horseback.

"Your Majesty, stepping on the stirrups with your toes is more conducive to your body's balance." Ye Yang reminded from the side.

Only then did Jun Yi think of the stirrup, he put his foot in the stirrup, and Ye Yang immediately corrected him, "Your Majesty, you can't step in with your whole foot. If there is an emergency, there is no time to pull your foot out. It is easy to cause accidents." .The correct way is to put your toes in the stirrups."

Jun Yi nodded and did as he did. He put his toes into the stirrups, feeling as if his feet were on the ground, and his legs became stronger, gripping the horse's belly tightly.

He pulled the reins, waved the long whip in his hand, and slapped the horse's butt with a whip.

The horse suffered from pain, neighed on the spot, and then rushed towards the racetrack like an arrow leaving the string.

Although the surrounding area was icy and snowy, there was no snow on the racecourse, only a patch of wet soil.

It seemed that the horse hadn't run so freely for a long time. It ran more and more happily, and soon ran around the racetrack.

Jun Yi, who was sitting on the horseback, found that it was easier to control the balance with the saddle. Gradually, he let go of the rein, which surprised the Minister of Industry and Eunuch Yun to shout: "No, Your Majesty!"

Seeing the worried faces of the two, Ye Yang said with a smile: "It's okay, the saddle is stable, it won't fall off."

The people around looked at Jun Yi nervously and anxiously, making sure that Jun Yi would not fall, and then let out a breath of foul air.

At this time, the white horse ran around the racetrack again, and Ye Yang shouted to Jun Yi at the top of his voice, "Your Majesty, do you want to try bow and arrow?"

Horseback riding and archery is an activity that many men yearn for, and it is also a skill that many men pretend to be. Anyway, Ye Yang likes this activity very much, but it is a pity that his archery skills are too poor, and every time he shoots the arrows, he misses the target.

"Woo!" Jun Yi pulled up the reins, forced the running white horse to stop, and looked down at Ye Yang condescendingly, with a smile in his eyes, "Concubine Ye really understands me, and I am pleased with you."

How can I understand you when I ride a horse?Do you understand men?

Ye Yang ignored the last four words, he pretended not to understand, and said to Eunuch Yun behind him: "Eunuch Yun, hurry up and get the bow and arrow."

When Eunuch Yun saw that the emperor was happy, he was also happy. He responded cheerfully, turned around and trotted away from the racetrack.

After a while, Eunuch Yun brought a high-quality bow and a bamboo tube arrow, and handed them to Jun Yi with both hands, "Your Majesty, the bow and arrow are here."

Jun Yi took the bow and arrow, hung the quiver beside the saddle, clamped his legs around the horse's belly, shouted "drive", and the white horse immediately galloped forward.

Although Jun Yi on the horseback did not pull the rein, he still rode steadily on the horseback.He drew a long arrow from his quiver, put it on his bow, and aimed it at the tree beside the racetrack.

Because there was no saddle before, and both hands could not leave the rein at the same time, no one had ever shot arrows on horseback. Naturally, there were no archery targets in the racecourse.
