Chapter 468: Secret Visit to Newly Established Counties
Among the people who followed were generals, guards and secret guards. These people had been dealing with horses for many years and could naturally tell whether a horse was good or bad.
Seeing that the emperor chose a BMW, I was already itching to have one.
The other civil officials could not tell whether the horse was good or bad.
But can a horse that stands out from a group of horses be a bad horse?
Even though they couldn't tell the difference, they knew what was good and what was bad.
Although these horses scared them when they first appeared, they can understand human language, which makes them priceless treasures!
Everyone was shouting in their hearts, wanting to pick one.
After the emperor had chosen, Song Renjing picked one for himself and his sister Fu'er.
Then he let Grandpa Gu and his group choose first. Grandpa Gu knew that this was just a temporary ride for them, so he pointed to one at random.
The other members of the Gu family also picked a horse at random like him.
Then came the military generals, civil officials, guards, secret guards, eunuchs, etc. who followed.
After Mr. Gu picked the horse, he began to observe Song Renjing secretly.
I have a hunch that something is wrong with this kid!
Under normal circumstances, since Fu'er was alone and far away from the main group, he would have to show his concern and go along with them.
But not only did he not show concern, he even stopped the secret guards sent by the emperor to protect him.
Could it be that his feelings for Fu'er were all fake?
But when I saw him choosing horses, he was able to keep one that suited his granddaughter according to Gu Fu's preferences, and it didn't seem like he was pretending.
There's something wrong with this guy! Very wrong!
Old Master Gu thought about it secretly, but he had no clue and could only put aside his suspicion.
He didn't notice at all that Song Renjing's forehead was wet as he was looking at him vaguely.
Song Renjing was already a martial arts expert, and he was even more sensitive to these inquiries.
Song Renjing had already noticed Mr. Gu's scrutinizing gaze. He was in the probation period and was afraid that he might do something wrong and affect his wedding date, so he was really nervous.
Just as the ministers were happily choosing their horses, Gu Fu came back driving a simple carriage.
"Where did Miss Gu find this carriage?" the ministers asked curiously.
Old Master Gu quickly recounted Song Renjing's previous remarks, and everyone suddenly understood.
Then there was a lot of praise.
"Miss Gu is worthy of being the daughter of the Duke of the Guardian. She is truly far-sighted!"
"Miss, you really live up to your reputation of being smart!"
"The Duke of Protectorate is blessed!"
……
Old Master Gu nodded repeatedly with a smile, but he kept saying, "No! No! I don't deserve it! I don't deserve it!"
But everyone could see that Mr. Gu was happy.
Gu Fu drove closer and said to everyone, "Your Majesty, Brother Jing, and all the adults, you can come and choose the saddle."
Gu Fu said as he stopped the carriage near the crowd, untied the reins, and let everyone choose a suitable saddle on the carriage.
The guards around the emperor also came forward to select suitable saddles for His Majesty and put them on the horses His Majesty chose. The horses were obedient and allowed everyone to do whatever they wanted.
Seeing Gu Fu approaching, the emperor nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Not bad, Fu'er. Thanks to the saddles you hid, I can realize my wish of riding a horse on the grassland. Tell me, I can give you anything you want."
"Fu'er thanks your majesty, but Fu'er has only done what he can do. I don't deserve your majesty's reward." Gu Fu refused with a smile.
"How can that be possible? Without you, how can we stay on the horse? Besides, I have already said it, how can I take it back? Don't worry, if you want anything, just say it boldly."
Gu Fu thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Fu'er doesn't want anything for now. Why don't we wait until Fu'er has accumulated more merits in the future and then ask His Majesty to give us a big reward together?"
"Hahaha! Well, you are quite clever. I'll do as you say."
While Gu Fu was talking to the emperor, everyone had already gotten ready because they had chosen their own horses and saddles.
Mu Zhen, Tian Hao and the others also selected a horse each. Gu Fu then asked Zhi Bao to drive the carriage into the woods and pretend to hide the carriage.
After packing, everyone's luggage was still placed on the helicopter, which was carried by the pilot and flew near the group.
Except for the driver, the rest of the people got on their horses and experienced the thrill of galloping on the vast grassland.
On this day, both the emperor and his civil and military officials were very happy.
The beauty of the grassland, which is different from that of Daxia, left a deep impression on everyone.
The communication between Daxia and the steppes had not yet been fully established, so King Muzhen and the officials he sent were unaware of the emperor's visit.
Muzhen Tianhao wanted to send someone back to report the news, but he was worried that it would affect His Majesty's plan, so he could only suppress his anxiety, lead the way for everyone, and introduce the customs of the grassland to everyone.
The group flew and rode horses for half a month before they reached the Muzhen tribe's camp.
Whenever he encountered a county or town, he would fly to a high altitude to observe it, and at the same time send guards into the city to investigate.
Fortunately, these officials were either the emperor's trusted ministers, or ambitious people who had just entered the officialdom and wanted to make a difference.
All counties and prefectures were developed in accordance with the emperor's policies, and the people, who were originally from the grassland tribes, also adapted well.
The only drawback is that everyone still lives in tents.
"I'm sorry to have wronged you! Since you have submitted to our Great Xia, we should have built a grassland just like we built Dragon City.
However, I and the officials of the court are not clear about the habits of the grasslands. Secondly, it is not easy to publicize this matter for the time being, so as to prevent the rebel army and neighboring countries from harassing you.
I'm sorry to have to inconvenience you for now.
When the rebellion is completely resolved in the future, I will send people to build the grassland properly." The emperor explained to Muzhen Tianhao.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! But Your Majesty's words are too polite. We have to migrate frequently, so it doesn't matter if we don't have a fixed residence." Mu Zhen Tianhao said gratefully.
He felt that they had made the right choice in choosing the right person, as they had met such a kind and trusting monarch.
The emperor patted his shoulder and said, "I have discussed the future planning of the grassland with the emperor's grandson and Gu Ji. The grassland will definitely be completely renewed in the future."
"I believe in Your Majesty! It will happen." Mu Zhentianhao said firmly.
After a brief investigation of each county, everyone stopped riding their horses.
Several guards followed behind with horses.
They flew a helicopter towards the grassland king's residence.
The appointment of the grassland king and other officials had been announced as early as when the officials from Daxia arrived.
Also sent were various scholars, officials from the Ministry of Rites, eunuchs, and a whole host of other standard princely staff.
Over the past year or so, the Muzhen tribe has absorbed knowledge like a sponge.
