Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 277: Cen Jiang, Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War

The hands of the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, Cen Jiang, could not help but tremble under his wide sleeves.

Soon, soon.

The hereditary title, the princess to marry, countless gold, silver and treasures... As long as Emperor Xuan gets on the horse, all these will be in his hands immediately.

Ren Changfeng did not disappoint him. As long as these horses were delivered to the emperor, his plan would be half successful.

The Royal Stables,

When the civil and military officials saw the three horses, they could not help but open their mouths wide. Even most of the officials had only heard of the beauty of the Ferghana horses but had never seen one with their own eyes.

When seeing these three metallic horses, everyone's first reaction was to be amazed.

"This is the Ferghana horse. It is so handsome."

"It is indeed a Ferghana horse, it is so beautiful. No wonder the people of Wu State hide the Ferghana horses so well. It is not easy for other countries to take a look at them. If I had such a horse, I would not be willing to show it to others. It is too beautiful."

"More than beautiful, this horse is exactly my dream horse."

·······

The Minister of War came to Emperor Xuan excitedly and said, "Your Majesty, how about letting me try this horse? It's a Ferghana horse!"

Jiang Hai, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, was no less excited than his own Shangshu. He pushed the Shangshu aside with his shoulder and said, "Your Majesty, the Shangshu is old. How can he bear the bumps on the horse? Let me try!"

Although he was in his sixties, his eyes were as bright as a puppy's, which made Emperor Xuan unable to help but slap him.

After being slapped, Jiang Hai retreated dejectedly. The Minister of War who had just been pushed aside rushed up again and held his well-shaped belly: "Your Majesty, let me try. I have tamed a fierce horse in the past. A Ferghana horse is nothing. I will definitely..."

Before he could finish his words, he was pulled to the back by several hands. “It’s still the same old days. Look at your belly now. It’s still a question whether you can get on a horse. Be careful not to crush the horse.”

"That's right, with such a big belly, be careful and vomit if you get on it."

How could the Minister of War be defeated by a few words?

"What stomach? This is a good thing. I remember that this stomach saved my life. I cut it with a knife and it only bled a little. It was fine. My stomach is a life-saving magic weapon. Besides, when it comes to riding horses, our military department is more skilled. Don't you think so, Lord Cen?"

Jiang Hai has already betrayed, and the Minister of War is asking for support.

Cen Jiang smiled and nodded. The ones who could get involved with the Minister of War were all bigwigs from various departments. As a vice minister, he should not get involved.

Emperor Xuan smiled as he watched his officials vying to be the first to ride a horse.

But my heart was extremely cold.

Cen Jiang was really a good subject of his. He wanted him dead. If he hadn't accidentally sent Xu Jinyu out of the capital to be with Ren Changfeng, he might have really been killed this time.

The Ferghana horses, these ministers really understand themselves and know what they love most in their hearts.

but······

Thanks to Xu Jinyu, my life was saved.

"Lord Cen, what do you think of me being the first person to ride a horse?"

Cen Jiang's heart skipped a beat, and he tried hard to suppress the word "yes" that was about to come out of his mouth. He clasped his fists and bowed: "Your Majesty, as the ruler of the world, of course you can do whatever you want."

Is this something you don't intend to get involved in at all?

Emperor Xuan snorted in his heart, being cautious enough.

At this time, the left prime minister said to Emperor Xuan with a serious face: "Your Majesty, your dragon body concerns the people of the world, you can't take risks."

"Your Majesty, the Ferghana horse has a fierce temperament. Please take care of your health for the sake of the people of the world." The Minister of Rites followed.

"But...if you want to see the heroic figure of the Ferghana horse, I can do it for you. Although I am a scholar, I have practiced the six arts of a gentleman."

"laugh!"

The Minister of Revenue sneered.

"The six arts of a gentleman, your six arts are a joke, you miss the target when shooting arrows, you never dare to speed up when riding a horse, and you even have someone holding you down. The six arts of a gentleman, it's so funny, your majesty, just let me take on this important task!"

The Minister of Revenue was full of confidence: "I went to the border in the past and rode at full speed. I will definitely let Your Majesty see the heroic appearance of the Ferghana horses."

The Minister of Works pushed aside the Minister of Revenue and rushed to Emperor Xuan, giving him a provocative look: "Your Majesty, the Minister of Revenue only knows how to ride a horse. I was a famous general in Kyoto. I have more than one fierce horse in my mansion. Let me do the riding! Otherwise, I am worried that the Minister of Revenue is not experienced and will be thrown off the horse's back."

The Minister of Revenue was so angry that his eyes almost bulged out. He could not compare with the Minister of Works, but at least he had been riding a horse for decades.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty..."

The left prime minister also squeezed in: "Your Majesty, I..."

Each minister wanted to raise his fist and knock his competitor unconscious.

Emperor Xuan watched his ministers scramble for it with a smile on his face.

He still has loyal ministers. As for Cen Jiang, the bastard who wanted to send him to death...

"Hmph! Stop arguing. Let Cen Jiang handle this matter. I know that Lord Cen once ran a hundred miles in one night."

Cen Jiang!

All the officials surrounding Emperor Xuan cast resentful glances at Cen Jiang.

When did this Cen Jiang win the favor of His Majesty so that His Majesty would entrust such an important matter to Cen Jiang?

The eyes of the civil and military officials were red with jealousy.

Facing so many officials, Cen Jiang broke out in sweat, not because of nervousness but because of fear.

I know the details of those horses very well, and riding any of them will not guarantee my life.

"Your Majesty, my body..."

"Hmph! Are you going to refuse, Lord Cen?" Emperor Xuan snorted coldly. The imperial aura made the air at the scene freeze.

Cen Jiang shuddered: "Your Majesty... obeys your command."

At worst, you can just ride the smallest one, which doesn’t do much damage.

Cen Jiang changed into tight clothes at the stable and walked towards the silver horse.

At this time, a young eunuch came running and whispered to Cen Jiang, "His Majesty has ordered that Lord Cen ride the golden horse. His Majesty wants to see if the golden horse will turn into a streak of flowing gold when running fast."

Cen Jiang's face turned pale in an instant. Why did His Majesty choose the horse with the greatest killing power among all the horses? Was it because this horse looked the most beautiful? Was it chosen unintentionally? Or...

I am not a favored minister in the court of Daqian. I am just an unknown person on weekdays. Why did His Majesty choose me to ride a horse?

Could it be that it was exposed?

impossible!

These horses were delivered by someone else. How could a horse dealer from the north not be able to contact me? Your Majesty would never suspect me.

Could it be that His Majesty went to show off to Lord Xu, and Lord Xu found out what he was going to do? But if that was discovered, shouldn't His Majesty arrest him immediately?

What made your majesty hesitate?

Seeing Cen Jiang's pale face and motionless face, the young eunuch began to urge him: "Master Cen, start quickly, everyone is watching!"

Cen Jiang took a deep breath and looked up at the people with burning eyes.

No matter what, I have to ride it. I have been a general and it is just a matter of taming a wild horse. There is nothing impossible about it. If others can be thrown off this horse, it means they are incompetent. There will be no problem for me.

Yes! No problem!

After figuring it out, Cen Jiang acted decisively. He grabbed the reins of the golden horse and jumped on it.

Someone was riding on him again. Ma Ge snorted unhappily and moved his four hooves, trying to throw the two-legged beast on his back off. But no matter how he struggled, the two-legged beast on his back held tightly to the horse's belly and sat firmly on the horse.

Ma Ge rolled his eyes and suddenly stood up.

"Herod!"

The horse's front hooves were lifted into the air, neighing at the sky; the rider on the horse held the reins and sat firmly on the horse's back.

"Good! Great riding!"

The officials present couldn't help but cheer.

Cheers rang out, and Ma Ge let out a roar and rushed forward.
