There is a shortage of good horses in the Central Plains, but the good horses in the grassland are strictly controlled. Brother Xu's plan not only allowed the Chu State to get good horses, but also got a large sum of money.
The Wanyan tribe had just unified the grassland, and there were many tribes who were dissatisfied with the Wanyan tribe. Once Xu Qing's plan came out, the grassland would not only give the war horses to the Chu State, but also control the war horses of each tribe.
By then, even if these tribes wanted to rebel, they would not have the strength to do so.
In this way, when he led the Chu army to attack the grassland, he faced a group of grassland troops who had no horses to charge and only fought on foot...
What are the characteristics of grassland?
The land is vast, flat and open.
In this kind of terrain, it would be difficult to pull Zhentian Lei up and not win!
However, there is still one variable. Xiao Ye looked at Xu Qing and said: "Brother Xu, are you so sure that Wanyan Khan on the grassland will agree to your terms? What if they notice..."
Xu Qing said: "Don't worry, Agula won't even notice it, Wanyan Khan will be even more in trouble."
Xiao Ye was surprised and said, "Brother Xiao knows Wanyan Khan so well? Could it be that you have met him?"
Xu Qing shook his head and said, "No, but I have met his son."
Unless Wanyan Khan is cheated, or the second prince is so stupid, Wanyan Khan himself is probably not much better, so Xu Qing doesn't need to worry at all.
Five hundred thousand taels...
Beautiful.
The two of them walked out of the quiet room and returned to the lobby. Xiao Ye suddenly sighed again.
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ye and asked, "Brother Xiao, why are you sighing?"
Xiao Ye said: "I think of my two daughters."
Xu Qing comforted her and said, "My daughter is very good. She is so cute. Gee, Brother Xiao will be blessed in the future."
Xiao Ye continued to sigh and said: "No matter how good a daughter is, what's the use? After all, she is still not as good as a son!"
Xu Qing patted Xiao Ye on the shoulder: "Brother Xiao, you are patriarchal."
Xiao Ye gritted his teeth and said, "I prefer boys over girls! I just want a son!"
At this moment, Xuan'er ran over and said anxiously: "Uncle...Uncle, the housekeeper of Prince Xian's Mansion is here. He said..."
Xiao Ye asked; "What did he say?"
Xuan'er said: "He said that the two young highnesses in the mansion have been crying for a long time, and no matter how much the Crown Princess coaxes them, it's no use."
Xiao Ye stood up suddenly and walked out: "Brother Xu, Brother Xu! Hurry and prepare a fast horse for me!"
Xu Qing quickly stood up and said, "Brother Xiao, you are going in the wrong direction, the stable is on the other side!"
…
the next day
Xu Qing, who never goes to court as usual, received news today that Xiao Ye will be grounded at home for half a month.
I heard from Xue'er that he was punished by King Xian to kneel down for half the night last night...
In the end, my legs were weak, so I was helped in by the Crown Princess.
Because he is riding a horse in the capital.
There is only one kind of person who can travel quickly on horseback after entering the capital, and that is the eight-hundred-mile express.
Let alone entering the capital, no one would stop him. Even if he entered the imperial city, no one would dare to stop him.
But Xiao Ye is obviously not among this privilege.
The wise king was so ruthless that his own son had to kneel outside for half the night.
The imperial concubine was also very considerate. She stayed up until midnight and finally helped Xiao Ye in.
When Xu Qing walked into Nuan Pavilion, he saw Su Qian leaning on the bed with a depressed look.
Xu Qing sat by the bed and asked, "What's wrong, madam?"
Su Qian leaned closer to Xu Qing and murmured: "Why aren't you giving birth yet?"
Xu Qing put her arms around Su Qian's shoulders and said, "Madam, don't worry, it's not expected to happen at any time during this period."
Xu Qing hugged Su Qian a little tighter. She is such a big woman, and she has to worry about the time of giving birth. A woman who is due to give birth...
Su Qian pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "But...it's been half a month since sister Wan'er was born, and this little guy still doesn't want to come out."
As she spoke, Su Qian stretched out her finger and gently poked her belly under her white skirt.
Then the little guy actually responded in the same way.
Su Qian was a little surprised that this little guy actually provoked her!
Puff your mouth.
Poke again!
Xu Qing couldn't help but feel a little amused when he saw Su Qian, who was leaning in his arms, having fun with the little guy.
Since having children, my wife has become even more adorable, and now she is too cute.
Su Qian was dissatisfied with the smile on Xu Qing's face, and snorted: "Are you still laughing? Why don't you come over and help me!"
…
While the big baby in Xu Qing's arms and the little baby in the big baby's belly were fighting a battle of wits, there was a different scene in Prince Xian's palace.
Zheng Waner was rubbing Xiao Ye's legs and knees, while Xiao Ye was having fun playing with his two daughters.
Sometimes I hug this person, sometimes I hug that person.
The two little guys didn't know what was going on. They started crying even after they couldn't see Xiao Ye for an hour. They couldn't stop crying, and they cried heartbreakingly.
Xiao Ye put the two infant babies on the bed and said, "Wan'er, my legs are fine. You can rest for a while."
Zheng Waner shook her head, but her hands became softer and she said, "My husband was on his knees for half the night last night."
Speaking of which, last night was also very thrilling. Yesterday, King Xian heard that Xiao Ye was riding a horse in the capital and was supposed to be punished by kneeling for a night. Zheng Waner's pleas were in vain, so he had no choice but to go to Princess Xian to plead.
But if Princess Xian can refute King Xian's failure to give orders, then once King Xian orders something, Princess Xian will have to give King Xian face.
So Princess Xian told her daughter-in-law a way, which was to wake up her two sleeping granddaughters.
As a result, when the two granddaughters woke up and couldn't see their father, they began to cry loudly. It was useless for anyone to coax them. In the end, the Xian Wang could only ask Xiao Ye to go back and coax the granddaughters to sleep.
The original penalty of kneeling for one night and being grounded for half a month became the penalty of kneeling for half a night and being grounded for half a month.
Sometimes ginger is still too spicy.
Xiao Ye put the two babies on the bed, patted them gently, and then pulled Wan'er, who was squatting on the ground to rub his legs, into his arms and said, "My husband is very skilled in martial arts, but my legs are a little sore after kneeling for half the night."
, it’s nothing.”
Zheng Waner said: "Sister Su is about to give birth. The mother-in-law said that she is counting the days. It could happen at any time in the next half month. She also makes the midwife in the Anding Marquis Mansion worry about her."
Xiao Ye nodded, then sighed and said: "I wanted a son, but I gave birth to a daughter. Brother Xu has always wanted a daughter, so he will give birth to a son, right?"
Zheng Waner rubbed her head against Xiao Ye's chest and said with a smile, "It's not that Sister Su's husband wants a daughter, it's clearly that the husband himself wants a son, so he hopes that Sister Su can give birth to a daughter."
Speaking of this, Zheng Waner's mood suddenly dropped: "It's Waner who is useless because she didn't give birth to a son for her husband."
When Xiao Ye heard this, he quickly shook his head and said: "What are Wan'er saying? My husband thinks my daughter is very good, or two daughters... What more son do you need if you have two daughters?"
Wan'er raised her head when she heard Xiao Ye's words and asked, "Really?"
Xiao Ye immediately nodded and said: "Of course it's true."
