Chapter 50
Li Chengqian turned around and continued to look for his father, His Majesty Li Er. As for the matter of Xinxing Princess, it was just a small episode, and he didn't need to care too much at all.

Princess Xinxing will soon marry Sun Xi, the elder brother of the eldest grandson Wuji.

In terms of seniority, this elder Sun Xi, Li Chengqian still calls him uncle.

Li Chengqian came to the Qianqiu Hall, a side hall of the Liangyi Hall, and waited for the servant to report to His Majesty Li Er before entering the Qianqiu Hall under the guidance of the servant.

"I will see my father!" Li Chengqian saluted His Majesty Li Er.

His Majesty Li Er was tired from dealing with military and state affairs in Liangyi Hall, so he would go to the side hall to take a rest. As soon as His Majesty Li Er arrived at Qianqiu Hall, Li Chengqian asked to see him outside the hall.

"Da Lang! Why are you here! What's the matter?" His Majesty Li Er asked.

"Father! My son has something to offer to Father." Li Chengqian directly stated his purpose.

At this time, Li Chengqian seemed to have acquired some new toy, and he tried his best to let his parents know.

"Oh!" Li Er was also very curious, Li Er wanted to see what treasure his crown prince had to present to his father, and said with a smile: "I don't know what treasure it is, but I have to trouble my crown prince to send it to me personally. "

"This is it!" After Li Chengqian said, he took out a U-shaped iron piece from the silk bag on his waist, and placed it in front of His Majesty Li Er.

His Majesty Li Er picked up the iron sheet in front of him and turned it over and over again. Except that he knew it was a strangely shaped iron sheet, he didn't see any tricks.

Li Er, the head of imperialism, couldn't help frowning. Now the prince is getting more and more outrageous, and he actually took a few scraps of copper and iron as treasures and offered them to him.

It seems that he has been idle recently, so he has nothing to do, so that Wanwu is so depressed that he dares to use a piece of iron to fool Lao Tzu.

You said that it is better for you to plan for the great cause of having a baby in the East Palace than to play with things and lose your mind. You should really find something for him to do.

Seeing Li Er frowning tightly, Li Chengqian knew that Comrade Li must have misunderstood him.

Horseshoes are one of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. During the Later Jin Dynasty, Gao Juhui, the judge of Zhangwu Jiedu, was sent to Khotan as an envoy. Because the road was difficult, the Uighurs passed on the technique of nailing horseshoes to Gao Juhui, and then the horseshoes were introduced from the Uighurs to the Central Plains.

There is no such thing as horseshoes in the current Tang Dynasty, let alone horseshoes. It is not unusual for Li Er not to know them.

Li Er's face became more and more ugly. Seeing that Comrade Li was about to lose his temper, Li Chengqian spoke up when he was educating his son on the spot.

"Father! Don't get angry. It's not too late to listen to what your son has said before you get angry! This thing is called a horseshoe! Does Father know what this thing is for?"

This sentence caught Li Er's attention, but Li Er thought about it carefully, although he didn't know what the palm was used for, since he mentioned the horseshoe, it must have something to do with the horseshoe.

It’s just that what is the specific connection, Comrade Li couldn’t figure it out even if he wanted to break his head, so he couldn’t help but said angrily: “Then tell me, what is the use of this horseshoe?”

"The function of the horseshoe is the iron piece nailed to the horse's hoof. The horseshoe is also called the horseshoe, which is the iron lump in front of you, Father."

"While the horse is running, it can prevent the horse's hooves from cracking, and it can also gallop on sandy rocks and rough mountain roads." Li Chengqian explained.

Li Chengqian thought that next year, Li Er would go to the east again. With the horseshoes, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry would be enhanced, so the expedition to Liaodong might be smoother.

Originally, Li Chengqian wanted to make stirrups and horseshoes together as a gift to Li Er. He found that stirrups had appeared as early as the end of the Western Han Dynasty, but they were not used in military affairs. Stirrups were widely used in the army in the Tang Dynasty, and they were not used at all. He came to invent.

When Li Chengqian said that a horseshoe is a horseshoe, His Majesty Li Er already understood the function of this iron thing.

His Majesty Li Er's eyes shone brightly, as if he saw in the horseshoes in front of him the hope of the Tang cavalry to sweep across the continent in the future, and even expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty many times.

"Good! Good! Good! Chengqian, you have made a great contribution this time! I will reward you heavily." Li Er immediately clapped his hands and laughed, and said three good words in a row, which is enough to prove how happy Li Er is at the moment pleasure.

Now that he has this horseshoe, he wants to see who is Datang's opponent. Xue Yantuo, Gao Gouli and others are Datang's opponents.

"Share the father's worries! It is the duty of the son-in-law, and the son-in-law does not want any rewards." Li Chengqian said.

Now he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the future emperor, and his father issued an edict a few years ago to allow him to use the things in the treasury without restraint. He doesn't need any rewards now.

"Since I said I would reward you, I can't break my word. It's just a joke! Let me think about it, what should I reward you?" After Li Er finished speaking, he immediately fell into deep thought.

Li Chengqian was not at all curious about what Li Er would reward him, it was nothing more than some playthings like pearls and agates.

"Let's do this! I will reward you with some beauties so that your East Palace will not lack vitality." Li Er said.

"Thank you, father!" Li Chengqian almost spat out old blood after hearing this, and wanted to refuse, but meeting Li Er's eyes, Li Chengqian finally swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

"Okay! If you have nothing else to do, go back first!" Li Erdao, he who was still in high spirits just now seemed to be a different person.

Li Chengqian saw that there was a trace of worry between Li Er's eyebrows, and asked: "What's wrong with the father? I don't know why you are worried! Why don't you talk to the son, maybe the son can relieve the father's worries!"

"It's not because of Xin'er's marriage. I just received a report from the border. Xue Yantuo's Zhenzhu Khan Yinan personally escorted 10,000+ animals and is on the way to Lingzhou."

"I originally thought that Yinan would be afraid to come because I asked him to go to Lingzhou in person. I took the opportunity to resign the engagement, but who knew he would actually come! Now I don't know what to do!" Li Er said .

Li Er didn't intend to marry Xue Yantuo in the first place, but now that he has the horseshoe presented to him by Li Chengqian, Li Er's mind has become more active, but there is no valid reason, and he can't do anything to Xue Yantuo who is attached to the Tang Dynasty, otherwise Everyone in other vassal states is still in danger!

This is not conducive to the other ethnic groups around the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also not conducive to the future development of the Tang Dynasty, and it is even more inconsistent with Confucianism.

Li Chengqian thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be such a small matter. To Li Chengqian, it was a small matter, but to Li Er, it was a big deal. If there is no legitimate reason, it is not acceptable to just divorce like this, even if he is the emperor. face and credibility of the country.

As the king of a country, how could he easily renege on his promise and become fat.
