The sun is blazing, and the dignitaries at this time have not received any preferential treatment. Some of them are obese, sweaty, and they look like they were fished out of the oil tank.

Today, he didn't have to wear a heavy and complicated prince's robe, coupled with the exercise on weekdays, Li Chengqian didn't feel too tired.

In the middle of the day, the royal family and nobles, who had worked all morning, got a moment of rest.

"Prince, bring anything delicious! I don't have any privileges today. ”

The plough is a hard job, and the sweaty old god Li Shimin sat down in front of Li Chengqian and asked for food directly.

During the ploughing ceremony, as a rule, you can only eat ordinary millet rice and drink white water. Even the emperors are included, not to mention the nobles. However, there are always loopholes in the seemingly strict system, for example, the prince is not an adult, so he can bring something delicious.

Li Chengqian had already guessed the current situation, so he asked the chef of the East Palace to prepare a lot of good things early in the morning.

Large pieces of air-dried beef, which do not need to be cooked, are a high-class delicacy in themselves.

As soon as the beef was taken out, it fell into the hands of Li Shimin, and under the command of the emperor, the guards used knives to break down the beef into many small pieces, and gave some to each of the courtiers who participated in the ceremony.

Li Chengqian didn't think that there was anything to eat about the beef that was not enough to stuff his teeth, but when he saw the grateful looks of those courtiers, he knew that he still had a lot of room for improvement on the road of "winning people's hearts".

Although a lot of it was divided, there was still a surplus of beef.

kicked away the eunuch who was about to try it, Li Shimin chewed it, nodded with satisfaction, and a fist-sized piece entered his stomach in a few bites. After eating too much and being a little salty, he drank a few sips of the wine sent by Li Chengqian, and he was surprised to find that his stomach, which was still rumbling just now, already had a hint of satisfaction.

"This jerky is a bit of a doorway, I've eaten jerky before, but it's the first time I've encountered it like this. We, Datang, may be able to use this thing as military rations. ”

Li Chengqian took out another cage of steamed buns, handed it to the eldest grandson, who was also sweaty, and replied: "Back to my father, this kind of air-dried beef is actually a common method used by grassland people to preserve ingredients. Unlike their simple air-drying, when Erchen learned about it, he added a lot of salt to it. In fact, the feeling that you are full now is an illusion, and after a while you will be hungry again. ”

"And that said?"

Seeing that a few more baskets of steamed buns were placed in front of him, he was not angry, Li Shimin picked out a cage and ate it directly.

The courtiers who were eating chaff were angry when they smelled this untimely fragrance, but when they saw that it was the emperor who was eating the food, they immediately lowered their heads.

The only people who are qualified to bring their own food in the entire ceremony are Li Chengqian and Li Tai, but it is really difficult for him to expect Li Tai to bring food.

The cook was very hard working and prepared a lot of food.

After asking the emperor's father, Li Chengqian sent a cage of steamed buns to the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Jing, Niu Jinda and Yu Shinan.

Respect for elders and respect for teachers, even if everyone sees it, no one is qualified to blame.

The eldest grandson liked the mushroom-stuffed buns very much, but after eating, he didn't forget to order Li Chengqian's brain: "You, you eat so luxuriously, beware of impeachment by the official." ”

Li Tai said on the side: "Queen Mother, whoever dares to impeach, the sons will feel him in the face." The money in the East Palace was all earned by the imperial brother himself, so why can't he spend it? ”

"Bastard boy, are you afraid that your brother will be impeached, and you won't be able to eat good things anymore!"

Li Chengqian, who was eating steamed buns, did not hesitate to pierce Li Tai's little handle.

Li Tai, who was exposed, suddenly made a big red face, and hid behind the eldest grandson in a flash.

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Although he can be cruel to his brother, he never wants his children to be like this.

Now it seems that Cheng Qian and Qingque are very brothers, friends and brothers. As long as this development continues, who says that their brothers will definitely turn against each other?

Since ancient times, those who become princes, without exception, will do their best to suppress other brothers. However, Cheng Qian was born smart, but his intelligence was not used in his brothers. The teachings of the great Confucian Li Gang, he knows to share with his brothers, and he will also bring his brothers with him the teachings of Li Jing and Niu Jinda. Not to mention that in such a trivial matter as borrowing money, the prince also deliberately taught Li Ke the preciousness of self-reliance.

What's not to be satisfied with?

The lunch break was short, and after voraciously enjoying the shade of the pergola for a while, the officials had to go on with a wry smile. Although the pro-cultivator was very guilty, no one complained. They all wish they could plant that large field by themselves, and the more tired the better.

Pointless farming continued until the evening.

After packing up and preparing to go back, when the carriage passed through a ravine, Li Chengqian finally understood why the imperial court was putting on a show.

Although the guards surrounded the area and no flies were allowed to enter, there were still many people in the distance who couldn't help but peek curiously. On weekdays, when the emperor goes out on patrol, there will be a lot of guys on both sides of the road who rush over to kowtow, not to mention such a thing as pro-farming.

Just looking at the way the people praised each other, Li Chengqian knew that the effect of this show had been achieved.

The emperor only needs to let the people know that they are worried about farming, and as for whether it is millet or weeds that are grown, who will pay attention to this!

Closing the curtain of the carriage, Li Chengqian lay down weakly in the carriage.

When he found that the people of the Tang Dynasty paid attention to honesty to the point of pathology, he thought that he had come to a pure land. As a result, there is no difference between ancient and modern feelings in terms of show!

....

Dinner, I ate with Li Gang and Li Tai.

Li Tai had worked all day today, and he felt that he was in a panic, so he insisted on staying in the East Palace and wanted to stay overnight.

Li Chengqian didn't care much about his younger brother's wayward moves.

It's just that when the old gentleman asked him about his opinion on the court's pro-farming, he didn't know how to answer.

Under the temptation of Li Chengqian, the old gentleman also abandoned the ancient adage of "eating without saying a word", and after completely indulging it, he felt that his food volume had increased.

Chewing rice in his mouth, Li Chengqian made up words for a long time, but he still felt that it was not good to lie to the old man, so he could only say helplessly: "You are embarrassed to be a disciple, the son does not say anything about the father, so the disciple will not say anything." ”

Li Gang laughed and quickly tilted his head to the side, because the rice grains in his mouth were laughing.

He knew that Li Chengqian, who had a particularly clear view of right and wrong, must have had an unsatisfactory life today. Obviously, Li Chengqian felt that this was inappropriate, but it was the emperor who guided all this, and the son did not say anything about the father, so he could only use this sentence to express his meaning.

Finally stopped laughing, Li Gang said earnestly: "The old man knows that you will feel inappropriate, so ah, I will ask this question." However, you have to remember that this kind of thing is ploughing, even if you don't have the heart to do it, it is effective. The important thing is not how well it is done, but whether it is done. Pro-ploughing seems to be a performance, but this is what the imperial court is actually doing. In the past, even if it was acting, I am afraid that no emperor and the court were willing to act! ”

After listening to the old man's words, Li Chengqian nodded unconsciously. Indeed, many things should not be focused on how well they are doing, but whether they are done.

When the things in the heart are relaxed, people will be light. After a tiring day, even Li Chengqian had a great appetite and ate two bowls of rice. When I went to bed at night, as soon as I lay down in bed, I fell asleep. Walking with a cow seems to have no technical content, but this kind of work is also very tiring.

Early the next morning, after getting up, Li Chengqian walked to the front of Mingde Gate and waited for the gathering of the students of the Chongwen Hall.

It's all about practicing martial arts, and it's really annoying to keep exercising, but if you put it aside for a while, the regression is not smaller than the improvement of training.

After this period of getting along, the guards led by the prince have let down their guard against them, at least there will not be a row of people in front of the prince, or a dozen crossbows facing people.

The morning exercise in the morning is completely spontaneous, and if you get up early, you can practice martial arts in front of Mingde Gate, and by the way, you can have a breakfast at Chongwen Hall. If you don't think about it too early, no one will force you, you can arrive at Chongwen Hall before class. Except for relatives and real good friends, no one will persuade a certain person to be motivated.

Although there are no hard and fast rules, every day before dawn, the students of Chongwen Hall get up, and then gather in Mingdemen for morning exercises.

Changsun Chong and others who have been trained in the military camp are naturally good hands, but Fang Yiai and others are not vegetarians.

In the court of the Tang Dynasty, the dividing line between civil and military affairs is not so obvious, and there may be a few rough generals in generals, but there are few Wenchen who are really powerless. Even Du Ruhui, who was sick and crooked, rode a horse and ran overnight, and he would not fall behind.

The small armor that will be the prison has been successfully made, and although it is a little bulky to wear such a full-body armor, it will not be a big problem to compete with the sword of honor.

After each put on their armor, Changsun Chong and Li Chengqian stood still at a distance amid the various ghost cries of the students.

After exchanging salutes, Li Chengqian pulled out his sword and said seriously: "Cousin, don't deliberately let me!" ”

The eldest grandson nodded, for Li Chengqian, who exercised seriously and never stopped all day, he didn't dare to release the water.

Because it was a competition, the two people did not step forward immediately, but looked at each other and thought about how to start.

The weight of Datang's chain mail still has a great impact on Li Chengqian. Accustomed to the practice of light clothes and thin belts, I felt a little strenuous to put on the armor today.

Looking at the prince's constantly moving limbs, Eldest Sun Chong immediately understood that he was used to the feeling of wearing armor. If you don't take advantage of this time, when will you wait?

The long sword pointed forward, and Changsun Chong took the lead without hesitation.

The armor that made Li Chengqian feel burdened was the same as a regular suit on Changsun Chong's body, and he ran without a little weight.

Seeing that the speed was completely crushed, Li Chengqian had no choice but to brake quietly and wait for the eldest grandson to rush close.

Bite!

The swords intersected, and a crisp sound sounded.

The next moment, the two long swords came and went, and the collision of attack and parry began.

After more than twenty collisions, Changsun Chong grabbed a gap and poked a sword into Li Chengqian's heart guard.

With a sword with all his strength, even if it was Li Chengqian's next game, he couldn't bear it, and he was stabbed and retreated.

"My cousin is amazing, I admit defeat."

Standing still, Li Chengqian generously admitted defeat.

If it continues, it is also an offensive and defensive pattern, and he will lose if he defends for a long time, and he can only defend passively, and there is no probability of victory at all.

The eldest grandson smiled at him, and after arching his hand, he hooked his finger towards the field and called Chai Zhewei up.

After taking off his armor, Li Chengqian sat on a chair and acted as a referee.

Chai Zhewei and Changsun Chong are of the same age, and the two have dealings with each other, and the fight is particularly exciting and intense.

The two of them who looked at the big battle moved to the students who were howling wantonly under the field, and then moved to a new face on the periphery.

Li Chengqian looked left and right, stretched out his hand and poked Fang Sheng, who was standing on his right, with a weapon posture ready to fly out of the field at any time.

"Fang Sheng, who is this person? These people who went to school in Chongwen Pavilion almost recognized all of them, and this face was the first time I saw it. ”

Fang Sheng stretched his neck to take a look, and after thinking about it, he suddenly realized: "Back to Your Highness, this person's name is Feng Zhidai, and he is the second son of Feng An, the governor of Gaozhou and the Duke of Geng Guo. In the first year of Zhenguan, officials in various state capitals on the periphery of Lingnan all said that Feng Ang was opposed. His Majesty was furious and wanted to send troops, but was blocked by Zheng Gong Wei's expedition. In October, in order to show his intentions, Feng Ang sent his son Feng Zhi to serve the monarch in the court, and he was it.

However, the old slave heard that he had been guarded in Taipingfang, and for some reason, he actually came to the East Palace. ”

Feng Zhidai....

Li Chengqian touched his chin.

Feng Zhidai doesn't understand this person, so he doesn't understand, but his cow 13 coaxed father Feng Ang, it would be too much if he didn't know. Fastest update... / .. /

Feng An, the governor of Gaozhou, the grandson of Madame Xian, is the emperor of Lingnan. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Lingnan also fell into war, and Feng Ang used the strength of the Feng family to settle down most of Lingnan.

As a place of exile for officials, Lingnan is a nightmare place in the eyes of the people of the Central Plains. The streams, swamps, mountains and forests in the south have become the most solid barriers, so that the Central Plains' control of Lingnan has always been intermittent.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, someone advised Feng Ang to learn from Zhao Tuo in the Han Dynasty, support the army and respect himself, divide one side, and establish himself as the king, but Feng Ang said: "My family has lived in the land of Baiyue for five generations, and I am the only one in the land under the jurisdiction of the governor of the state and county, and I already have a child jade silk, and there are few riches in the world like me." I am often afraid that I will not be able to bear the burden and bring shame to my ancestors, how can I dare to follow Zhao Tuo's example and claim the king's side? ”

After rejecting the people who entered the language, Feng Ang had been stabilizing Lingnan until Wude returned to Shun in the fifth year and was named the governor of Gaozhou and the Duke of Geng Guo.

In Li Chengqian's view, a hero who refuses the temptation of being crowned king and makes every effort to maintain the integrity of the Tang Dynasty's territorial lord (river crab) cannot be overpraised.
