Chapter 761: The Great Tang Warhorse Mission!

Chapter 761

"Hehe, how could it be! Didn't I prepare a gift for you?"

Wang Chong smiled, and opened his palms, revealing a pair of teardrop-shaped, extremely delicate agate earrings inlaid with gold.

This is a pair of high-quality agate earrings that Yang Hongchang presented to Wang Chong not long ago. Wang Chong found the best craftsman in the Western Regions to make a pair of earrings. At this time, it happened to be given to Huang Qian'er.

Sure enough, Huang Qian'er's cold eyes could kill people, but when she saw this pair of delicate and beautiful agate earrings inlaid with gold, her expression immediately became much better.

With a cold snort, he glanced fiercely at Wang Chong, but accepted the pair of agate inlaid gold earrings.

"I've already brought the white-hoofed crow to you, and I'll leave the rest to you."

Huang Qian'er got off the horse and handed the reins to Wang Chong.

"Come here, take Miss Qian'er inside to rest, and find a few maidservants to take good care of her."

Wang Chong took the reins and gave instructions behind him.

Wushang was a long way from the capital, and it was quite difficult to eat and sleep all the way. Huang Qian'er, a girl, was willing to come here from the capital for herself. Although she didn't say anything, how could Wang Chong not understand.

After sending someone to make arrangements for Huang Qian'er, Wang Chong led the White-hoofed Crow and left quickly.

...

When Wang Chong welcomed Huang Qian'er and his white-hoofed crow in the city of steel, in the distant capital, an extremely fierce debate was going on in the court.

"Ten million taels of gold? Are you kidding me? Where did the court get so much gold and silver to squander? And who knows if those people can be trusted."

"That's right, the money of the imperial court is spent like running water every year. There are 600,000 to 700,000 troops, people eat horses, and officials in various places. Which place does not need money? If there is a drought or flood What, don't you need to prepare some silver in advance?"

"All the money is spent on the military, what about other places?"

"Besides, ten million taels of gold is not a small amount. Are we going to set aside ten million taels if anyone talks about it in the future? This is gold, gold! It's not silver, and it's not ten million copper coins!"

...

The debate in the court was extremely fierce,

Yu Shi, Shi Lang, all the officials of the six departments, including those princes and princes in the court, all joined in.

Everyone quarreled in a pile.

"You bastard! What do you mean by randomly allocating 10 million taels? This is a war horse, the most scarce war horse in the imperial court! This is something that even money can't buy."

"Under the overturned nest, there are eggs, and the skin is gone. These war horses are used to defend the home and the country. If they can't even defend the home and country, is there any point in talking about everything else? There are priorities, If you are not willing to spend money on such an important thing, what is worth spending money on!"

"That's right! The young man is a prince handpicked by His Majesty, and the Son of Heaven bestowed his words on him. If you can't even believe what he said, how can you believe it? You don't even believe His Majesty's eyes!"

"The imperial court has no pastures and cannot raise a large number of war horses. This is an opportunity to send it up. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you want to buy it later, it will be too late to regret it. No matter how expensive ten million taels of gold is, can it be more valuable than a big horse?" Is Tang's safety more important?"

...

The imperial court was clearly divided into two factions, each of which refused to give in. There are 300,000 war horses, and they are also the best war horses of the Turkic people. This is something that was unthinkable before. Almost all military generals are involved, and everyone knows how big an opportunity there is.

"You are militaristic, you are militaristic! As long as I, Wen Gu, have breath, I will never allow you to do this."

His Majesty, beside the vermilion lacquered Panlong Pillar, the Minister of Rites, Wen Fugui, looked excited, and his voice was extremely high-pitched:

"Anyone who wants to pass this approval must step over my gentle corpse."

As a figure of Confucianism in the imperial court, Wen Gu has always been extremely disgusted with war, and he would never agree to the matter of tens of millions of taels of gold.

In the court controversy these days, Wen Gu is also one of the extreme opponents.

"Wen Fu, you bastard!"

Hearing Wen Gu's words, the lungs of the military were about to explode.

"hey-hey."

No one saw that under the other Beaulieu Pillar, King Qi was wearing a python robe and sneered. He doesn't need to come forward in this court battle, a gentle and old man is enough for them to be busy.

"Wen Fufu, do you want to die? I'll make it happen for you! This is the iron coupon of the alchemy book bestowed by the former emperor. Take it and commit suicide by swallowing the iron!"

Suddenly, a furious voice sounded like thunder in the hall. This voice came suddenly, and the extreme anger shocked everyone. For a split second, there was no sound in the hall, and even Wen Gushu trembled and turned his head abruptly.

Outside the main hall, I saw a figure striding over, and the pair of extremely angry, fire-breathing eyes made people tremble incomparably.

"The soldiers of the imperial court fought bloody battles at the border. Because of the bones of countless soldiers, you can talk here without any scruples. Drought, floods, salaries, and what else are you talking about? What are you talking about? The world of Tang Dynasty is empty talk Can you get it? Are the Northern Sai and the Western Regions just a matter of talk?"

"The literati misjudged the country, Wen Fu, you are a corrupt and sour Confucian who misjudged the country and the people. The death of your life is a small matter, but the state is a big one. Don't you want to die? I will fulfill you today."

King Song was furious, he slammed his right hand hard, and with a bang, he slammed an iron coupon on the ground, in front of Wen Fu.

In the court for so long, it was the first time that everyone saw King Song get so angry. His eyes were as cold as winter, and those sword-like eyes seemed to be able to pierce people fiercely.

There were so many people in the hall, but no one dared to meet his eyes directly. At this time, not to mention other people, even King Qi who was hiding under the Beaulieu Pillar was taken aback.

"Song..."

King Qi's mind moved, and just as he was about to come out, King Song glared at him. His eyes were so fierce, it seemed as if he was going to die with him and die together. Given King Qi's surly behavior, he couldn't help but feel a shudder in his heart, and stopped in his tracks, startled.

"This lunatic, what does he want to do? It's only tens of millions of taels of gold, and it's not his own. Why is he fighting so hard?"

King Qi was frightened by King Song for a while.

It's only tens of millions of taels of gold, and the money is also from the imperial court, so it has nothing to do with him. King Qi also opposed it just for the sake of opposition, Guan didn't really care about this matter. He still had to deal with this matter, and he was far from having that much determination in his heart, let alone that much persistence.

For such a matter, it is too unworthy to start the fish and the net, and hurt both sides.

"This bastard, for the sake of a young son of the royal family, as for?"

King Qi gritted his teeth, secretly hating him. But seeing Song Wang's fierce eyes, he really couldn't make up his mind to fight him on this matter for a while.

"Say it! Who else?"

Song Wangdao was so angry that he rushed to the crown. This matter has been dragged on for nearly a month, and his patience has almost been worn out. A once-in-a-lifetime event that benefits the country and the people has abruptly brought about the current situation, and his anger All ticked off.

"Wen Fufu, you sinner, marching and fighting, you don't understand military essentials at all. If something happens in the frontier, there is not enough horses, it will affect the military situation, cause the people in the frontier to die, and the people will slaughter poison. This king is the only one who asks. A monument should be erected to write your shame on the country and stand in front of your grave."

The last sentence made King Song furious.

Even Wen Fu, the Duke of the Manchu Dynasty, was not afraid. When he heard King Song's words, he couldn't help being suffocated and speechless. Literati are not afraid of life and death, they are only afraid of integrity and reputation. With Song Wang's usual reputation, it is obviously extremely angry to say such words. And, in his style, he always said what he said.

Wen Fu believed that he really didn't know anything about military affairs. If something went wrong and he erected such a monument in front of the grave, it would be more unacceptable than death.

Wen Gu stared at King Song, his lips parted several times, but he was completely speechless.

He had to admit that he was indeed intimidated by King Song like this.

Even Wen Fugu, the biggest opponent, was suppressed by King Song, and King Qi remained silent there. For a moment, there was a dead silence in the hall.

The fierce court dispute instantly quieted down.

After nearly a month of intense debate over the horse purchase case, a consensus was finally reached after several hours. When it was dark, a homing pigeon with black feathers and golden pupils soared into the sky from the capital, quickly crossed the capital, flew across thousands of mountains and rivers, and flew all the way to the distant Wushang.

"Clatter!"

A few days later, when the sun was shining, the homing pigeon passed through the window and landed in front of the window lattice.

"Hehe, it worked."

Wang Chong put down the letter sent by King Song, glanced at the carrier pigeon on the window lattice, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The appropriation for the purchase of horses finally came down. Although King Song said it lightly in the letter, Wang Chong knew very well that with King Qi playing tricks in the court, how could this approval be easily allocated.

As for Song Li's faint apology, revealing that the early payment was only 10 million taels of gold, Wang Chong didn't really care much about it. Once there is the first time, there will be the second time. The most important thing is that the imperial court opened the door for this purchase. Moreover, as long as the imperial court and the military see the first batch of excellent Turkic war horses they sent, they will naturally take the initiative to mention the purchase of the second and third batches.

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Wang Chong quickly heard a familiar voice in his mind:

"Congratulations to the host, start the mission 'Da Tang's War Horse', and reward 400 Destiny Energy Points."

"Additionally, there is no time limit for this task. The more horses the host buys, the more rewards will be awarded. For every 10,000 horses, 100 destiny energy points will be rewarded. The host has obtained 11,000 horses, and an additional 110 points will be rewarded."

...

"Huh? There is still such a task?!"

Hearing this voice, Wang Chong was greatly surprised. This was the first time he had received such a task without a time limit. Moreover, what is surprising is that I have been in contact with Huluyege for a while, but when the deal was first concluded, there was no such prompt. On the contrary, Wang Chong was quite surprised when he heard the reminder when King Song sent a letter and the court approved the purchase money.
