Chapter 124: The Wanderers in the Mountains

Fang Sheng also knew how much impact Li Gang's serious illness would have, so he hurriedly agreed, turned around and went to the Imperial Doctor's Department to find the imperial doctor.

Touching the old gentleman's pale face, Li Chengqian sighed.

Perhaps, even if he stepped forward to stop him last night, the old gentleman would not listen to his persuasion. It is glorious to live to be in the eighties, at a time when life is generally short. However, for the old gentleman, it was not a kind of torture.

Watching people of the same generation die one by one, and even his wife and son leaving before him, for those who survived, how sour it is, probably only the old gentleman himself knows.

It didn't take long for the imperial doctor to arrive at the East Palace, and after looking at it, the imperial doctor put down Li Gang's hand with a solemn expression.

What I am most afraid of is the doctor's solemn expression, which is the same in ancient and modern times.

Nervously pulling the imperial doctor's sleeve, Li Chengqian asked, "How is it?" It's going to be fine! ”

The Imperial Physician nodded, but shook his head again.

While coming to class normally, Li Tai, who bumped into the incident, said impatiently: "Bastard, whether it's good or bad, you are talking!" If you hang people's appetites again, this king will kill you! ”

No one can ignore the threat of a prince, the imperial doctor thought for a while before saying: "With all due respect, in the short term, there will be no problem with Taishi Li, a hangover is nothing for Qingzhuang, but for an old man like Taishi Li, it really hurts the body." But even if this is the case, he will wake up tomorrow at the latest.

It's just that, from a long-term point of view, this drunkenness has greatly damaged Taishi Li's vitality, and now it is autumn, and in the middle of winter, even normal people are prone to illness, let alone an old man like Taishi Li. What's more, this time the vitality is seriously injured, and it is difficult to recuperate, even if the old man from the Tai Medical Department makes a move, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed for a while. ”

Li Tai said disdainfully: "What about returning the imperial doctor, but as a result, you can't even make up for what kind of qi you have, what is the use of this king asking you imperial doctors?" ”

Reaching out to hold down Li Tai, who was about to go crazy, Li Chengqian hurriedly asked: "Imperial Doctor, since the old man of the Imperial Doctor's Department can't succeed, what about the people?" Lone believes that there will be masters among the people. ”

The imperial doctor smiled: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really smart, that's right, no one in the Imperial Doctor's Department has this ability, but the people do." As far as Weichen knows, there are two. One is the bitter bamboo master of Buddhism, and the other is Sun Simiao, the Taoist of Taoism. These two are unmatched in terms of medical attainments, and Buddhism often compares these two, but which is stronger and which is weaker, it cannot be compared. If you want to regulate the old gentleman's body, probably only these two can do it. ”

It's Sun Simiao again.

To tell the truth, Li Chengqian is also very interested in Sun Simiao, one of the well-known figures of this era. It's just that this one rarely appears on the bright side, and it's usually a walking wilderness, and it's really a bit difficult to find out.

Arching his hand, Li Chengqian said: "In this case, then please ask the imperial doctor to prescribe some medicines to replenish vitality first, and find a way to find Daoist Sun Simiao." ”

For doctors, whether ancient or modern, they should be respected.

The imperial doctor returned the courtesy and said that he didn't dare to do it, so he picked up the medicine box and left.

Looking at the back of the imperial doctor leaving, Li Tai muttered: "Brother Huang, in my opinion, this guy is obviously incompetent, and the imperial doctor who treated you last year also pushed it to this meow person." The imperial doctors are all the same, and they are all stupid! ”

Helplessly, he slapped the "medical troublemaker", and Li Chengqian said helplessly: "As long as you talk a lot, okay, since Master Li is not in good health, you can go back first." ”

Li Tai refused: "How can this be done, the master is sick, and the disciple should always be at the bedside of the sick." Brother Huang, don't drive me away, I'm going to stay here and take care of Master Li. ”

Seeing Li Tai's serious appearance, whether he acted it or was sincere, it was enough to have this heart.

If you can't drive away, you just don't rush away, and when he walked out of Li Gang's bedroom, Li Chengqian walked to the study and wrote a private letter to the emperor's father.

If you want to find someone in the land of the Tang Dynasty, the power of the imperial court is the most powerful, not to mention, there is also a magical hundred horsemen. There is no way to do it if you don't ask for help now, although there is an alliance of lowly people under him, but when he encounters things outside the palace, Li Chengqian finds that his strength is still a little insufficient.

There is no need to follow the path of the alliance of the lowly, the prince wrote a private letter to his father, so there is no need to hide it so much.

The letters sent out in the morning were not returned to the East Palace until the evening.

Li Shimin was very curious about the prince's letter to him, so he actually corrected it with a red pen.

"The father and the emperor are like meeting: the son of the minister nodded in the East Palace, because Master Li did not wake up, and ....."

Under this paragraph, it is written: "The family letter between father and son, there is no need to be so formal, it is good to add a pause or something, it is so serious, it makes people laugh after reading it, just say hello normally." ”

In addition, many mistakes in the wording and arrangement have been corrected, and even the words that are not written beautifully are annotated next to them.

Looking at this letter, which looked like a test paper more than a letter, Li Chengqian couldn't cry or laugh.

It seems that although he handed over the responsibility of teaching to Li Gang, the emperor's father still cares about himself.

Fortunately, the emperor's father agreed to find Sun Simiao, and he was not held accountable for Master Li's drunkenness.

Unfortunately, by means of the Epistle, not a single command is given directly in the Epistle without conveying the will.

"The prince and his relatives will go to Qinling again to protect the autumn harvest of the civilians."

In this way, although no official decree has been promulgated, the matter of departure is already a certainty.

Since discovering the convenience of the prince's personal rate, or the money in the East Palace, those iron roosters in the court have not been ashamed of using the East Palace to save money.

Even if the construction of the Chongwen Pavilion is over, after discovering that it is easier to give an order to the prince than to give an order to the government soldiers, the military department should also hand over the task of autumn hunting to the East Palace.

Needless to say, the Ministry of War has made up its mind that it will not pay any ordnance and food. Because the day after the emperor's reply arrived in the East Palace, an official document from the Ministry of War was also sent to the East Palace, legalizing the dispatch of troops led by the prince himself.

"Bear with me, since the Wude period, the imperial court has reduced the people's taxes every year, and the annual income is very small. But these courtiers were able to support the court with their meager income, and even fought several tough battles one after another, which shows their ability. There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as you let go of your skin, you can't do anything. ”

Li Gang, who had already woken up, learned the reason for Li Chengqian's indignation, and could only comfort him.

Li Chengqian sighed, and together with Li Tai and Li Ke, he helped the old gentleman up and put a backrest behind him.

A drunkenness had left the old man so hard that he didn't even have the strength to get out of bed. But fortunately, people are still in good spirits, but they are not allowed to go out of the house, and they need to stay in the bedroom all the time.

Patting Li Tai and Li Ke on the shoulders, Li Chengqian said seriously: "I am going to lead the prince into Qinling, during this time, you two will take care of Master Li, if something goes wrong, you two will wait!" ”

Li Tai and Li Ke naturally promised again and again that they would take good care of the old gentleman.

The next day, under the escort of 500 guards and the generals of the Weiguo Mansion and the Langya County Mansion, Li Chengqian left Chang'an by car.

On both sides of the carriage were Li Jing and Niu Jinda, father and son, who were riding horses.

In the absence of war on the frontier, these veterans are very leisurely on weekdays. Due to the excessive cost of autumn hunting, the emperor ordered the temporary abolition of autumn hunting activities. Li Jing and Niu Jinda, who didn't even have the last fun, naturally won't let go of this good opportunity.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Wechen's archery skills are also not bad, this hunt, and let Wechen shoot a tiger and leopard for you, in case of reconstruction."

The ox on the horse was in high spirits, and when he first came out of the house, he still looked skinny, but after just a few months, the person blew like a blow. The porcelain muscles really live up to his surname.

"Tigers and leopards or something, let's go out to hunt this time, the main target is wild boars, deer, badgers and other beasts that plague crops."

Lifting the curtain, Li Chengqian was envious of Niu Jianhu on horseback.

He had long dreamed of riding a horse and galloping, but because of the accident of falling off the horse before the crossing, he was not allowed to ride a horse from top to bottom.

The Weishui military camp soon arrived, and after entering the barracks, Li Chengqian first praised Liu Mang.

In the dragon boat race during the Dragon Boat Festival, Liu Mang and they won the third place very competitively. Although they have already been rewarded, Li Chengqian does not know that only by praising them again in the barracks can they get greater satisfaction.

After the assembly was completed, it was already the second day, and early the next morning, the team led by the prince himself entered the Qinling Mountains from the direction of Weishui.

The Qinling Mountains are still so wild, although the dynasty has changed to the Tang Dynasty, but the human creature has not yet reached the level of complete occupation of this land.

Pheasants and hares will also be driven away, and when they encounter a big one, someone will shoot and kill.

Changsun Chong's archery skills are very good, and he can still shoot the running rabbit from a distance of 100 steps.

After another arrow hit the prey, the eldest grandson Chong smiled and said, "This is the hunting dog that didn't bring with me, otherwise, none of these rabbits can escape." If you shoot your prey, you can't let people pick it up. ”

took Changsun Chong's hunting bow and tried it, but Li Chengqian reluctantly gave up.

Although his self-conceit was more than twice as strong as that of a normal child, he was still powerless with such a strong bow.

Seeing that the prince was a little depressed, Chai Zhewei comforted: "Cheng Qian, you are still young, and when you are a teenager, you can use this bow like us." I heard that your swordsmanship and boxing skills have been passed down by the two generals, which is really enviable. ”

Niu Jinda walked over and knocked on it: "The prince's achievements are the result of his own efforts, and they have nothing to do with Lao Tzu." If you want to play, you have to hurry, and when the Chongwen Pavilion is built, you all have to go in and learn! ”

As soon as I heard that I was going to study, Cheng Chusi and others complained bitterly.

At present, although they are literate, they do not have much in-depth learning of knowledge. Before that, they were more learning about homeschooling. Each family has its own way of doing things, and this way of doing things needs to be carefully studied by the son-in-law.

The team marched through two hills and finally met the big guy.

A wild boar, covered in dirt, sprang out of the grass.

Finally seeing the big guy, Changsun Chong and the others were extremely excited.

Whoosh

One arrow came from Changsun Chong, and the other arrow came from Niu Jianhu.

Since he was able to walk, Niu Jianhu has completely come to life, not only making up for the loss of his body, but also honing his skills.

The bow is like a full moon, the string is like thunder, and the arrow is like lightning.

Can....

The arrow hit the boar, but it only bounced and failed to get in.

Niu Jinda explained on the side: "Your Highness, don't look at the wild boar, this thing is stronger than the domestic pig, if you really want to deal with it, one or two people will definitely not work." In the middle of summer and autumn, when wild boars want to leave their territory in search of food, they will roll their whole bodies with pine oil and cover them with a layer of dirt, which cannot be broken by arrows or the like for a short time. ”

Li Chengqian nodded, stretched out the red order flag in front of him, and waved it down three times in a row.

In this sortie, Li Jing handed over the command to him, wanting to see his ability to mobilize troops.

In this era when communications were basically based on words, Li Chengqian simply compiled a set of flag languages to facilitate command.

Seeing the signal, Liu Mang, who had long been impatient, rushed out with the members of his attack team howling.

The character of the captain determines the character of the team members, the members of the attack team are all muscular men, each brave and abnormal, obviously the armor is still the old tattered armor, and they can't prevent the collision of wild boars at all, but they still pick up a stone and rush up.

The wild boar is not brainless, and when he saw such a large group of people rushing over, he ran without hesitation.

Liu Mang and the others were not afraid of the influence of the terrain at all, and ran and jumped in pursuit.

After a while, the people who had disappeared from sight returned with the boar.

The big guy of three or four hundred pounds, his fangs were broken, and his head was even more bloody and blurry. And none of the people in the attacking team looked injured.

When Wei Chi Gong's eldest son, Wei Chi Baolin, saw this scene, clenched his fists excitedly, walked to Li Chengqian's side and begged: "Your Highness, if you encounter wild boars again, can you let me go with them?" ”

"Not good!"

Li Chengqian did not hesitate to refuse his request, ordinary soldiers were injured, it was easy to deal with anything, if the sons-in-law of these national families were seriously injured, it would be troublesome.

When Liu Mang led the team back, he asked the team members to return to their positions, and he entered the center of the team all the way and ran in front of Li Chengqian.

"Report to the prince, when I was chasing wild boars, I found a camp in the dense forest, and there was cooking smoke coming out of it, which should be inhabited."

"Is there anyone else in this Qinling Mountains?"

Li Chengqian was taken aback, what a fierce person must be to settle down in this place, Robinson doesn't have the courage to do so.

Unlike the last hunt on the perimeter, this time they really went deeper into the Qinling Mountains. Judging from the last experience, there is no shortage of fierce beasts such as tigers, leopards and bears in the Qinling Mountains, what is the difference between living here and dancing on the tip of a knife?

Li Jing sighed and said, "It should be the exiles at the end of the Sui Dynasty, in fact, there are indeed many exiles in the depths of the Qinling Mountains. In order to escape the war, they had to seek refuge in the mountains. There are many displaced people in the Tang Dynasty, not to mention the Qinling Mountains, almost everywhere they go, there are people living in seclusion in the wilderness. ”

"Refugees fleeing war."

Li Chengqian remembered the record in "Stony Creek Miscellaneous". Compared with the war, the fierce beasts in the depths of the Qinling Mountains are indeed nothing. These people were also farmers in Anfen, but they were forced to leave the land on which they depended for their livelihood and seek a way to survive in the deep mountains.

Didn't experience it, so didn't feel it. But judging from the choices of the homeless, you can know how terrible the war is.
