"Your Majesty, the second round of the test is to test the running speed. Do we need to compare it with a warhorse?”
Duan Lun asked.
After all, the low status of an ostrich was beyond imagination.
If he were to race with a warhorse, he would probably be tortured to a miserable state.
At that time, where would Li Shiming's dignity as an emperor go?
"Uh, I think it's better to forget it." Li Shi Min said.
The ostrich's name had the word 'bird' in it, which meant that it was best at flying.
In the end, he was worse than a chicken.
Now, he was still competing with the warhorses in speed. Wasn't he looking for trouble?
Li Shimin was terrified, but Wei Zheng was amused.
"Your Majesty, without a warhorse as a reference, how can you show the speed of this strange bird?”
Thud!
Li Shiming's heart skipped a beat.
Wei Zheng, this old man.
He knew that he had lost a lot of face today, but he still made such a request.
It was clearly adding fuel to the fire!
Wei Zheng's words immediately won the support of a general in the crowd.
"I think Minister Wei is right. Without a warhorse to compare, how can we test the speed of this strange bird?”
Pa, pa, pa!
Li Shiming's face was swollen.
Turning back to look, he saw Yuchi Gong, this silly fellow, laughing foolishly.
This idiot thought that he had made a very good suggestion.
In fact, Li Shiming was already embarrassed.
"Minister Duan, didn't you hear what Minister Wei said?”
Li Shi Min said angrily.
So be it!
At most, he would go to Reliance Village another day and borrow Han Qiu's mechanical leopard.
At that time, let's see who will be the one to lose face!
"Yes, sir!"
Duan Lun walked to the edge of the city tower and shouted to the drill ground below,""His Majesty has decreed to release the warhorses!"
After a while.
A dozen warhorses roared as they charged out from the city gates.
These warhorses were like raging flames, running wildly on the training ground. No one could stop them.
The officials on the city gate tower were also interested.
"Heh, isn't this the White-hoofed Shadow of our Great Tang?”
"That's right. I heard that this horse can travel a thousand miles in a day and eight hundred miles in a night!”
"That ostrich, compared to these horses, wouldn't it be like a tortoise and a hare racing?!”
For a time, the laughter on the city gate tower continued.
This made Li Shimin furious.
Today was clearly the best time for him to show off.
How did it become a lambasting session?!
Moreover, the one being ridiculed was him.
Who could withstand this!
"Your Majesty, you can ask your precious ostrich to move.”Wei Zheng sneered.
"Minister Wei, you don't need to remind me, I know!”
Li Shiming snorted and gave Duan Lun a look.
The latter understood and immediately ordered his subordinates to control the ostriches to run.
"Cough cough, the scorching sun burns my eyes.”
Li Shiming closed his eyes and pretended to rub his hands.
He did not dare to face the tragedy that was about to happen.
One could imagine the comical scene of an ostrich being thrown eight streets away by a warhorse during a race.
The officials couldn't help but mock him again.
Wei Zheng, that old man, naturally had to take advantage of him.
What a sin!
"Hmph, if I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it!”
Wei Zheng smiled smugly.
To be honest, today was the best time he had ever had to fight Li Shiming.
Later on, when the mechanical ostrich was thrown out of the way, he would have to give Li Shiming another beating!
Tsk tsk!
In the blink of an eye, the five ostrich traps dashed out with their strong legs.
then
" What?!"
" How is this possible?!"
"Am I seeing things or what?”
All the officials on the city gate tower exclaimed in surprise.
His expression instantly froze, and his eyes stared straight at the drill ground.
Only Li Shimin sat in the main seat, not daring to look at the situation below.
Until Wei Zheng looked up at the sky and sighed." Your Majesty, I lost. I was blind and failed to recognize such a strange object. I am willing to accept my punishment."”
Li Shi Min: "????"
Hearing Wei Zheng's words, it seemed that the situation below was not as bad as he had imagined.
Li Shi Min opened his eyes, stood up, and looked down.
He saw five ostriches running on the training ground at an extraordinary speed!
It was so fast that it almost transformed into a black shadow!
As for the White-hoofed Shadow, it had already been left behind.
"Strange! It's really strange!" Li Shi Min was so excited that his face turned red,"This two-legged beast can actually outrun the White-hoofed Shadow?!”
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed it.
This four-legged horse could not outrun a two-legged mechanical ostrich!
"Did you see that? What did I say? This is the Mohist machine-operated beast, a divine weapon that can change the fate of the Great Tang!”
Li Shi Min shouted.
He put back all the forks that he had not put in earlier.
The civil and military officials were not stupid. They quickly bowed and said,
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! This is the blessing of our Great Tang!"
Seeing the ministers congratulating him, and even Wei Zheng lowering his head, Li Shiming felt as if he was bathed in a spring breeze.
"Everyone, please rise."
After getting the officials to stand up, Li Shimin turned around and said to Wei Zheng,""Minister Wei, is the promise just now counted?”
"Yes, of course it counts. A gentleman's word carries nine tripods. This subject will never say a word of no to Your Majesty again.”
Wei Zheng lowered his head.
Seeing this, the surrounding officials broke out in a cold sweat.
Was this the number one troll of the Great Tang? Now that Li Shiming had taught him a lesson, he was so obedient that it was terrifying.
It seemed that he would have to avoid Li Shiming in the future.
"This Han Qiu is indeed a young genius. A mere mechanical beast was able to subdue all the officials. It seems that I have to go to Reliance Village more often in the future.”
Li Shimin was counting his chickens before they hatched.
He trusted Han Qiu even more.
It would be a pity for this kid to stay in the small village.
Why don't we promote him and make him an official or something?
