"Jiancheng, Shimin, I'm not seeing things, am I? The horse that the Marquis Champion made is a wooden horse?”
Li Yuan rubbed his eyes and pointed at Li Zhao, who was galloping towards him. He couldn't believe his eyes.
Li Shi Min was the first to realize and quickly said,""Did Imperial Father forget? In the Zhuzi Village, the Champion Marquis once made wooden oxen to plow the fields. The wooden oxen can be compared to the flowing horses. Since he can make wooden oxen, he can definitely make flowing horses.”
Li Yuan suddenly understood. He remembered that when he went to the Village of Zhuzi, he indeed seemed to have seen many strange oxen plowing the fields.
It was just that he had been so focused on inviting Li Zhao out of the mountain that he didn't pay much attention to it. Now that Li Shimin reminded him, he remembered.
"Your Majesty, I've just tested this horse. It moves like the wind, not inferior to the best Turkic horses.”
"And the Marquis Champion said that this horse doesn't need to eat grass and won't get tired even if it travels ten thousand miles!”
"If we can make tens of thousands of these horses and lead the army out to destroy the Turks, it will be just a matter of time!”
Li Jing couldn't hide his excitement. He excitedly told them about the advantages of the horses and outlined the blueprint for the northern expedition.
Li Yuan was overjoyed, and his old face was filled with unprecedented excitement.
When the world was in chaos, the Turks took advantage of the situation to go south, forcing the vassals of the Central Plains to submit to them. Li Yuan was also forced by the situation to endure humiliation.
As the founding emperor, Li Yuan knew that this was a disgrace that would be recorded in the history books in the future and become a stain on his life.
Thus, all he thought about day and night was how he could destroy the Turks, wash away his humiliation, and restore the Great Tang to its glorious glory.
Li Zhao's appearance gave him hope.
Today, when he saw the divine weapon Li Zhao created, he was even more convinced that his judgment was right.
"I didn't think that the hope of the Turks would be on a young hero. Could it be that the younger generation is really pushing on the older generation…?"
Li Shi Min looked at the heroic young Marquis Champion who was riding the horse and sighed with mixed emotions.
On the one hand, Li Zhao had contributed to the Great Tang's prosperity, giving the Great Tang hope of wiping out the Turks and restoring the mighty Han.
This was Li Shi Min's ultimate goal. He was naturally happy and even grateful.
On the other hand, Li Zhao's creation of the Flowing Horse was equivalent to another peerless feat that could shake the world. The prestige of the court would definitely increase greatly, and the strength of the General of the Divine Regime would also greatly increase, squeezing the power share of King Qin's residence.
Li Shimin was feeling both admiration and fear for the country.
Needless to say, Li Jiancheng probably had no admiration for Li Zhao, only deep fear.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Just as the monarch and his subjects were sighing in amazement, Li Zhao reined in his horse and jumped down.
Li Yuan quickly held him up and patted his shoulder."Ah Zhao, Your Majesty has seen your surprise. With such a divine horse in our Great Tang, why should we worry about not being able to destroy the Turks? Your Majesty will heavily reward you.”
"It is our unshirkable duty to expel the Hu and defend the country. I only raised my hand. Your Majesty's reward should be used to compensate those soldiers who died on the battlefield.”
Li Zhao's tone was calm, without any pretentious impassioned emotion. He very indifferently rejected Li Yuan's reward.
He grew up among the people and knew that when foreign enemies invaded, the ones who suffered the most were the commoners.
Now that he had left the mountain to become an official in the imperial court, on the one hand, he pitied his grandfather Li Yuan's misery and helplessness. He suppressed the killing of his two uncles and prevented the Li Clan from walking down the path of no return.
On the other hand, Li Zhao naturally wanted to do his best to let the people of the world eat and wear warm clothes, so that they would no longer be destroyed by the invasion of foreign enemies.
Only when the Tang army was strong could they protect the people. Li Zhao had invented this horse to make the Tang army stronger.
"Good, good, good. Ah Zhao, you have the world in your heart. Your sincerity really makes some people blush. I really didn't misjudge you…"
Li Yuan caressed Li Zhao's shoulder and praised him.
These words of his were both praising Li Zhao, and at the same time, it was also said for his two sons to hear.
"The empire of the Great Tang belongs to my Li Clan. I, Li Shiming, am not as magnanimous as a Humble Class youth. I am ashamed, truly ashamed…"
Li Shi Min sighed in his heart and lowered his head slightly, not daring to look at Li Zhao.
Li Jiancheng secretly clenched his fists, and a trace of unnoticeable anger flashed across his brows. He looked at Li Zhao with a sharp gaze that was difficult to hide.
Li Zhao looked straight into Li Jiancheng's fearful eyes. The righteousness of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy seemed to envelop him.
Li Jiancheng shivered at the sight of that pair of domineering and cold eyes. He felt fear in his heart and could not help but turn his head to the side, not daring to look at Li Zhao again.
