Chapter 210 Kneeling

Just when everyone was about to watch a joke, Mu Xiyao raised her neck, her expression was very solemn, she bent down and kowtowed so abruptly, pleading solemnly to Emperor Yuan Cheng.

"Your Majesty, the slaves and maidservants were once in the library and had the honor to read "Famous Capitals" written by Da Sima when he was Emperor Cheng. The article mentioned that polo originated in the east of the Great Wei Dynasty, and the Wuzhaoda nomadic tribe. At that time, both men and women were good at riding, brave and good at fighting, and their soldiers were strong and their horses were strong. It was later passed on inland, and it was loved by the Wei family. All the noble ladies of the family admired and sought after, and they all worshiped teachers to practice."

"However, times have changed. Women's polo has survived in name only, and today it has been replaced by frolic. Although the slaves are not good at polo, they are also deeply saddened. Think of my great Wei horses with countless heroes on their backs. How magnificent. Now Mobei The barbarians invaded the country year after year, and the people of the three prefectures were prepared for hardships. My son from the Great Wei Dynasty was able to defend his family and the country, and killed the enemy in front of the battle. The slaves and maidservants were just women, and they were not as passionate and brave as the men in the army. But since childhood Brother admonishes me, dare not forget the merits of my ancestors."

"Now the holy majesty has ordered the three armies to stand guard and prepare for the war. The servants are daring and want to take this opportunity to congratulate our Wei frontier army with a horse race and capture the flag. I wish my imperial flag a victory and establish a great achievement for the future. It will last forever!"

Looking at the woman bent over to worship, Emperor Yuan Cheng's eyes were cold and sharp, and he spoke suddenly.

"In the 435th year of the Great Wei Dynasty, who was the leader of the Lingnan Pass?"

"Emperor Wu personally appointed the second-rank hussar general, Huo Huairen."

"In the Battle of Huaiyuan in Yuzhou, how many days did the generals of Wei defend the city and wait for reinforcements?"

"Forty-three days. There was no food or water. General Xiao Fuyong died in battle. There were only seventy-six defenders left, and they did not retreat a single step."

"During the reign of Chongzheng, the vassal kings rebelled. In the end, who will come to the imperial court to invite Ying Ying, and the three battles will be settled?"

"The thirteen sons of Emperor Zhou, His Highness King Cheng."

After some questions and answers, everyone around couldn't react in time.

"Okay, very good! I'm not a person who talks nonsense and exaggerates his achievements. Mrs. Mu, who is your brother? Where is he now?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the elder brother of the servant girl is on guard under the command of the Sixth Prince's Martial Construction Department, and Madam Mu respectfully."

"Careful, cautious. Be kind, generous and virtuous. Gu Changde, draw up the decree. Promote the military construction department to guard the Mu family, and be the four-rank governor. From now on, the salary and silver are doubled, so that Jiayong will continue to advance, and he must not slack off. "

"You two, brother and sister, live up to the Mu family's education. It's great. I will grant what you asked for today. The rest of the girls, who are not good at riding horses, will retire on their own."

Emperor Yuan Cheng's decree came one after another, which shocked everyone present.

Helian Weirui clenched her fingers into fists with a livid face. How could this be so? Not only was Mu's not afraid, but he also took the initiative to ask the imperial horse to capture the flag? In a few words, he asked for a reward for Mu Jinzhi. How did this matter get out of her control and completely changed?

Zong Zhengming looked away from Mu Xiyao who got up to leave, his expression slightly dazed. Today, Mu Xiyao is very much like the person who was in the center of the hall before, who was awe-inspiring and inviolable. I thought it was rare to see such a short-lived brilliance and courage, but I didn't expect to see such a formidable and sharp side of her again after only a few months.

The others were shocked and resentful, only Zong Zhenglin was full of anger, and his face was covered with frost.

very good. She doesn't like donkeys, how dare she ask for orders to race horses to capture the flag without telling him! The previous warning in the curtain was never heard!

Horses are raised in the palace, and it is rare to see a thousand-mile horse. Most of them are war horses, and they have seen bloody blood. They are stained with strong spirits and are not easy to tame. When Mu Xiyao said this, how could Zong Zhenglin feel at ease.

While the deacon eunuch was leading the horse into the stable, Mu Xiyao chose the whip, turned around and returned to the crowd.

The racecourse that was bustling before, now only half of the people are still in the arena. Apart from Princess Chaoyang, who had spoken out badly before, Wan Shiyu also stayed. What made Mu Xiyao extremely disdainful was that the person who yelled the loudest at the beginning was actually shrinking back silently, hesitating and not even having the guts to try.

"Your Highness the Fourth Princess, there is a very interesting sentence between the noble daughters of Dongwu Zhaoda. Drink the strongest wine, ride the strongest horse, and marry the strongest man. The Wuzhaoda tribe is just a vassal of the Great Wei, a tiny place Even a woman has such guts. Horse racing is just a formality, but the meaning is particularly profound. The soldiers of the Great Wei fought bloody battles, so why don't we have a bold race. What do you think, Your Royal Highness?"

Block people with words? She will too. Zong Zhengying was comprehensive and well-intentioned before. Now that the feng shui is changing, let her have a taste of it. Most of the women left here were born in Jiangmen, even if they are not good at riding, they will not be ashamed. How the Wan family stayed, Mu Xiyao was curious.

Wan Jingwen's face was calm, but in her heart she almost vomited blood with hatred.

Helian Minmin left the stage by herself, and before leaving, he told her coldly, "The Sixth Prince's Mansion cannot leave the side concubine alone." The implication is that no matter whether she can do it or not, she must persevere today and not let her concubine be present alone. Mu Xiyao stands alone.

"Your Highness." Helian Weirui approached Zong Zhenghan with a sullen face, "I have something to ask."

After Zong Zhenghan heard her words, his dark brown eyes narrowed slightly. "The most poisonous woman's heart, it is true."

"If it weren't for this, if Mu Shi escaped today, it would be even more difficult to find an opportunity to deal with her." Helian Weirui was also full of anger, so it was so difficult to take down Mu Xiyao.

"Do you think Zong Zhenglin is easy to dismiss? At this time, the price is far beyond your imagination."

"If you find someone to replace..."

"who?"

"How about Princess Chaoyang?"

"Why, she and you are not together? Aren't you afraid that she will be charged with crimes and confess that you have evil intentions?"

"Your Highness, Chaoyang is a reckless person, and his mind is very confused. With a lot of strength, he can confront Mu Shi with a few words of teasing. Such a person is useless, how can I sincerely make friends with her. "

Zong Zhenghan laughed lightly, held her palm and rubbed it repeatedly. "Wei Rui has considered it properly, so that's fine."

Mu Xiyao was waiting in the racecourse, she would rather stand with her back straight than sit down and rest her feet. Just looking at Zong Zhenglin's dark face, he knew that going out would be bad.

Forced to feel uneasy by Zong Zhenglin's gloomy gaze, Mu Xiyao quietly turned her head away, pretending to straighten her riding clothes, and when she raised her head again, she had already changed her direction, resolutely not to meet the gaze of His Highness the Sixth Highness.

Wei Zhen shrank back into the corner tremblingly. His Highness's body was so cold that he almost froze him. Master Yao is so blatantly turning a blind eye, that inadvertent move is well done, but I can't stand your guilty look and eager to avoid it. How could His Highness fail to notice your omissions in such a way?

Zong Zhenglin looked deeply at the figure facing him, suppressed the anger in his chest, and ordered people to check the racecourse carefully. Since she can't stop her from going her own way, she will always try to protect her comprehensively.

Zong Zhengying got a secret message from Helian Weirui, and suddenly gained confidence. He took the whip and strode towards the middle of the field with his head held high.
