My harem can't be this messy

"Eldest Princess, Princess Yuzhang, you are here. Dongmei has been looking for you for a long time."

As soon as the three of them sat down, a court lady ran into the gazebo, panting slightly, looking at the two princesses and His Royal Highness King Jin, bowing slightly.

Li Zhi looked at the court lady who claimed to be Dongmei. Sure enough, there was a palace maid named Dongmei next to her mother!When I first came to Datang, after hearing the names of Chuntao and Xiahe, I guessed that there was someone named Qiuju Dongmei beside my mother, and I guessed it right.

"Dongmei, what are you looking for with me and the imperial sister?"

"It was the empress who asked me to find the two highnesses. I ran away from Wanchun Palace just now, and the maid there said that His Highness accompanied King Jin out of Wanchun Palace, so I ran out to chase after him."

"Oh, the queen mother is looking for us."

"Sister Huang, let's go to the Lizheng Palace to meet the queen mother. Third brother, sister Huang can't accompany you anymore."

Princess Changle said a little disappointed.

"It's all right, Miss Huang hastened to see the queen mother, I'll hang around here for a while and then go back to Wanchun Hall."

Princess Changle nodded, and pulled Princess Yuzhang. The queen mother has an invitation, so naturally she can't neglect it.

The two princesses left the pavilion, and Dongmei hurried after them.

"Dongmei, I remember that your surname was Ma before you entered the palace, right?"

Dongmei quickly stopped, and turned to the direction of King Jin. If you go back to King Jin, you can't turn your back on it, it's impolite.

"Ah, Your Highness, my surname is not Ma, and I don't know what my surname is. Anyway, my name is Dongmei now."

"Oh! Go!"

Li Zhi waved his hand, and Dongmei quickly turned to chase the two princesses.

Li Zhi sat for a while, looking at the maids who occasionally passed by in the garden, all of them were slim and pretty.

Any woman in this court, even among the common people, is one of a kind in a hundred. Those who can enter here are the most ordinary court ladies, and they are also good-looking.

Li Zhi looked at the flowers, the scenery and the beauties, and the spring light hit his face, making him feel warm and comfortable.

After sitting for a while, he waved to the two court ladies, Chun Tao and Xia He hurried over.

"What orders does Your Highness have?"

"Pound the king's leg!"

The two maids quickly squatted down and beat King Jin's legs with their tender little hands. Li Zhi looked at the two court ladies who were serving him respectfully, and couldn't help stroking Xia He's delicate face with his hands, where his face was exposed. When the color was flushed red, I squeezed it lightly.

"By the way, Xia He, how long have you stayed in this palace?"

"Xia He stayed for seven years!"

"Your Highness, I have been here for five years."

Li Zhi gently raised his hand, and Chuntao knocked on the forehead, causing her brain to collapse.

"My king asked you!"

"Oh, Chuntao is talking too much."

Looking at Chun Tao, who was still pouted slightly, Li Zhi's head collapsed again, and the girl covered her head, crying out for pain.

This girl's temperament is much bolder than Xia He's, Xia He's temperament is cautious, Chuntao is a little careless.

Let the two girls beat their legs for a while, Li Zhi got up.

"Let's go, let me go for a ride with the king. I haven't been on the horse for a long time, and the king has forgotten what it feels like to be on the horse."

The two maids hurriedly followed Li Zhi who walked out of the pavilion, but Li Zhi stopped suddenly.

Sister, if you don't go ahead, I know where the royal stables are.

"Xia He, go ahead!"

"Your Highness, is this inappropriate?"

"This king thinks it's appropriate, so it's appropriate."

"Yes, slaves obey."

Xia He quickly obediently walked in front, right, otherwise, how could I go to the stables to choose horses, and race horses at the racecourse!

Li Zhi looked at Xia He who was walking in front of him, and couldn't bear to think about it again. This girl's back looks like a good-looking model, but from the back, she is no worse than his own Changle Huangjie. Do you want it? Have a son early?Broke this girl's body?

Thinking of this, Li Zhi felt that his blood was churning. Looking at Xia He walking step by step, her graceful body was swaying like a willow in the wind. live.

First ask for it from the queen mother, whether to break the body or not is a matter after arriving at the Prince Jin's mansion, you can't mess around in the palace, besides, your body is just recovering, so it's not suitable for messing around and hurting your body.

Qi and blood surged, and Li Zhi didn't dare to think about it anymore. At this time, he moved his eyes to look at the distant scenery, watching swallows flying across the lake, watching butterflies dancing, watching jade people lingering in flowers, watching willow branches gently blowing in the wind. dance.

Daughter's house is still rarely seen, it's so f*cking attractive.

Before he knew it, he had heard the neighing of horses, and Li Zhi knew that he was not far from the stable.

Datang is the world that fights immediately. Last year and the year before last, that is, the 14th year of Zhenguan and the 15th year of Zhenguan, Datang was still fighting with Turks and Tubo. Of course, in general, it was Datang who suppressed and fought These disobedient aliens.

In the history of China, there were not many dynasties that could fight against the alien races around them. After three generations of the Han Dynasty, they had to ease the conflicts with the alien races in the frontier through friendship and huge wealth.Although the royal family of the Ming Dynasty was tough and did not make peace or cut off the land, it did not dare to say that it could suppress the alien race.

Only Datang, since the founding of the country, has continued to conquer the surrounding alien races, and once fought and won once, the Xuanjia Army and the Modaowei were existences that frightened the surrounding alien races.

When the Tang Dynasty conquered the surrounding foreign races, it was like Lao Tzu teaching his sons. The surrounding states could only obediently bow their heads and profess their vassals, paying tribute to the court every year.

In the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, all nations came to court, and all directions came to pay homage, and they were all immediately defeated.If you don't bow your head, that's fine, then let's exterminate the clan!

Chapter 22 Choosing a Docile Filly

It was also the year before last that Tubo Zanpu Songtsen Gampo was completely terrified. Faced with the situation that the main force of the Tang army led by Hou Junji hadn't made a move yet, several Tang vanguard troops beat the Tubo army to the point of crying. Fleeing, not daring to fight.

Songtsen Gampo was frightened, so he hurriedly wrote to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, and sent envoys to Chang'an with a large amount of gold and silver treasures to ask for a marriage.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the 15th year of Zhenguan, Princess Wencheng set off from Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty to marry Tubo.Princess Wencheng is not Taizong's daughter or sister, but the daughter of a distant relative of the clan.

It can be said that it is just a daughter of the same clan. Using the standard of later generations, both of them have the surname Li, and the blood relationship is extremely weak, but it can barely be proved through the genealogy that one of them is the aunt of a relative of a relative of the other.

Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, and Tubo no longer dared to mess around on the plateau.

It is naturally impossible to contain Tubo just by making peace, and there is really no peace in the border between the two countries because of peace in history.

In the final analysis, it was still relying on force. Tubo Zanpu was afraid of the military power of the Tang Dynasty, so he really didn't dare to fight anymore, and if he fought again, he would be beaten out of the sky.And Datang didn't have much ambition to annex high-altitude areas. It was desolate and barren, sparsely populated, and there was nothing that Datang valued, so it was peaceful.

The Tang Dynasty was the world that fought immediately, and from the founding of the country to the present, it has always attached great importance to force. For the army at this time, war horses are naturally an extremely important measure of force.

Not only horses are raised in the palace, but many are raised.

Hearing the neighing of the horse at this moment, Li Zhi quickened his pace, and Xia He and Chun Tao naturally also quickened their pace.

After a while, the stables were already in sight, and the stables stretched across a stretch. You could see a large number of palace servants raising horses here. After seeing King Jin, several servants rushed to pay a visit.

"His Royal Highness, are you here to choose horses?"

"Well, let those of you who know horses the most come here to meet me!"

"Yes, Your Highness, wait a moment, I'll look for it right away."

The servant quickly trotted to find someone, and Li Zhi wandered around the stable.

The horses raised in the palace have three main purposes, the most important being used by the imperial guards in the palace. At this time, the palace guards of the Tang Dynasty mainly consist of three parts, the guards on the left and right, the guards on the left and right, and the guards on the left and right. , Qianniuwei is his father's personal guard.

There is also the Beiya Forbidden Army stationed outside the Xuanwu Gate. These troops stationed will use war horses, which is the main purpose of feeding war horses in the palace.At this time, the father also set up flying cavalry, which was first set up in the 12th year of Zhenguan, so naturally war horses were also used.

The second is that the father likes polo. Because the father takes the lead in the palace, let alone the princes, most of the concubines and maids in the palace are good at riding horses, and their ball skills are amazing.

Polo naturally uses horses, which is the second use of horses.

The third is collection. My father loves horses, so he naturally raised many good horses selected from various places in the palace. Over the years, foreign countries have paid tribute, and they also prefer high-quality horses to pay tribute.

For example, in the Western Regions, the Hetian horses and Dawan horses there are famous all over the world, and naturally the father and emperor have treasures.

These horses are generally not allowed to be used by the army. They are carefully fed on weekdays and are used by the royal family.

Li Zhi wandered around the stables at random, and saw a lot of fat and tall war horses. He was already pinching his jaw and thinking about whether he would accidentally fall and become paralyzed while riding these horses to learn riding skills.

But if you don't learn, you can't!As the first prince of the Tang Dynasty, Jin Wang Li Zhi can't ride a horse, that's not a joke, and the most important thing is that he directly revealed his secrets, which can't be covered.

Li Zhi turned around for a while, and the servant had already led a veteran in Qianniuwei armor over.

"Chen Cheng met His Royal Highness King Jin!"

"Well, you don't need to be polite when you get up, you are the person who is most familiar with horses here."

"My subordinates know a little bit more. I don't know what kind of horse His Royal Highness Jin wants to choose. Here are some ordinary horses, and the good horses are still behind."

Li Zhi jumped a few times at the temples. Here is the most common horse, which is already so tall and mighty. How dare those excellent kings behind him learn how to ride on it!

"Hey, I didn't come here to pick some famous horses and BMWs. Doctor Zhang told me before I came that this king is only suitable for riding docile and well-behaved fillies at this time. Are there any here? By the way, the best ones are from Longxi. Filly."

Li Zhi doesn't know how to show off at this time, he is a beginner, and he wants a good Dawan horse, isn't that just looking for excitement.

After hearing King Jin's words, Chen Cheng's eyes also changed a few times.

"Your Highness, of course there are horses born in Longxi, I will take His Highness down to pick them."

Chen Cheng led the way, and Li Zhi had a taste of the grandeur of the royal horse breeding place at this time. It was indeed worthy of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The horse breeding place alone was comparable to a large park in later generations. how many horses.

After a while, Chen Cheng stopped in front of a stable, and Chen Cheng pointed to several stables in front of him.

"Your Highness, here are Longxi horses, which horse does His Highness like? This subordinate has someone prepare a saddle for His Highness."

"I asked you to come, just to let you choose. Remember, you must be docile. This king has just recovered, but he can't deal with a fierce horse."

"Yes, this subordinate will do it!"

Let Li Zhi choose by himself. Where did he choose? He can recognize the male and the female by looking at the horses. It still depends on the big stallion owning a...cough, what, everyone knows it, so they can tell the difference.

As for the horse's appearance and temperament, Li Zhi didn't know anything about it.

Forcibly pretending to be coercive will only increase the jokes of others. Besides, learning riding skills is no more dangerous than others.

After a while, Chen Cheng brought a bay red filly over.

"Your Highness, this is a five-year-old mare with the most docile temperament. It has never been irritable when it is fed here."

Li Zhi stretched out his hand to caress the young mare's back, turned around deliberately, and then lay down to look at the horse's belly, confirming that it was a mare.

"Are you sure this horse is docile?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, Longxi horses are inherently docile, and this horse is the most docile among these Longxi horses."

"Okay, saddle up!"

Chen Cheng asked someone to prepare the saddle, Li Zhi asked Xia He to lead the horse, and the three of them came to a racecourse, which was surrounded by a fence. In the racecourse, there were a few courtiers training the horses. At the palace man's place, an old servant next to him was teaching him how to ride a horse.

Seeing King Jin, the old servant who taught riding quickly stopped and greeted King Jin.

"Okay, don't be too polite, you can continue to work on your work, this king is just looking at it casually!"

Li Zhi stood aside, naturally he did not leave.Sister, I am going to steal my teacher here, and rely on my own groping when I leave, isn't that just looking for a fall!

Seeing that King Jin was at the side, the servant showed his intentions at this time, and explained in more detail. He also demonstrated several times in person, how to mount a horse, how to control it, and what to pay attention to. He spared no effort in teaching him.

Chapter 23

Oops, next to him is the King of Jin, the third son of the Tang Dynasty, the favorite youngest son of the empress. If the King of Jin sees that he is still lazy in teaching people, if he doesn't teach carefully and thoroughly, he probably won't be able to do this job.

If King Jin said something casually, he would lose his job.How did he know that Li Zhi, the king of Jin at this time, was a complete layman in riding a horse, and he had already mastered the seven orifices.

Personal thoughts, personal understanding.Li Zhi looked at it carefully, and silently recorded everything about the old house attendant, and watched the scene of him getting on the horse, Li Zhi went through it carefully several times in his mind.Li Zhi is more serious about how to raise his legs and turn over than he was when he was reviewing for the senior high school entrance examination.

After a while, the novice was able to get on the horse and run around, and Li Zhi left.

After waving to Xia He, the three of them went to a secluded place in the racecourse. There was no one there, so Li Zhicai looked at his two maids.Li Zhi doesn't want to go to places with many people!When you meet a master, you can see that you are a novice.

If people in the palace talk about it behind their backs, that's fine too!

"Xia He, Chun Tao, can you two ride a horse?"

"Your Highness, we naturally know how to ride, but our riding skills are average."

"Oh, my king has just recovered, and I won't be on horseback for a long time. You must take good care of me in a while."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The two maids quickly calmed down and cheered up.

His Royal Highness King Jin was recovering from his illness in the Wanchun Palace, and he was neglected on horseback. At this moment, they dared not be careless. If something happened to His Highness, they would not be able to bear it.

Li Zhi also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, trying to keep his mind as calm as possible. Isn't it difficult to learn how to ride a horse?If you can't learn it at this time, the dumpling skin will be broken and the stuffing will be exposed.
