The willows of the river bridge are thin, the grass is smoked and the wind is warm, and the warbler is crying! Early in the morning, Qi Liang took Gui Ming, Chen Zhengcheng, Liu Shengming and others to gallop in the suburbs of Kunming.

Qi Liang's riding skills are becoming more and more exquisite, and he is at the forefront first. Everyone knows that the prince likes to exercise, and today I saw that he was in high spirits, and everyone was happy to accompany him. Ten miles to the southwest, all the way is full of rhododendrons, there are steep mountains, secluded gorges, forest seas in front, you can also hear the sound of gurgling water, Qi Liang beats horses and gallops up a mountain, as far as the eye can see, here is lush and green, a small river winds around the mountain. "What is this place?" Facing the cool morning breeze, he pointed to the valley with a horsewhip and asked.

No one could answer, Gui Ming's ethereal eyes looked at the small river channel heading south: "Ten thousand mountains are stacked and green, the mountains are still and the water is secluded, and the small river looks like a snake wriggling from a distance!" ”

There are mountains and waters, and hundreds of birds contend, which is poetic and picturesque! Qi Liang's ethereal eyes were extremely blind, and he nodded: "That little river does look like a wriggling snake, but it is too feminine to name it 'snake', so let's call it Panlong Valley!" ”

Everyone looked at Qi Liang in surprise, today's prince is so interested, he actually named these mountains and rivers! "The name of the prince is good, and it is appropriate!" Liu Shengming said.

Qi Liang glanced at Liu Shengming strangely, Liu Shengming, who was originally rectum, was flushed, and he couldn't learn the kind of sycophant kung fu that didn't change his face.

"Plan this place, level the land in front as a training ground, and build a barracks in the back part of the mountain, and bring the 1,000 new soldiers recruited and the 500 guards I brought back here for training, and Gui Ming is responsible for this matter." Qi Liang's eyes were deep, like the misty morning mist in the valley.

It turned out that the prince didn't come out early in the morning to walk the horse, and he was reused as soon as he returned, and Gui Ming's blood was surging, Qi Liang looked forward to it and said: "Gui Ming has to continue to recruit some new soldiers, until the number is enough for five thousand!" ”

Gui Ming nodded excitedly: "The slave obeys!" "His true dream is to lead his troops into battle.

"Recruit training is important, but the ideological education of recruits is even more important!" Qi Liangyi pointed out, "Gui Ming just returned, you have to communicate with Zhengcheng in this regard!" ”

Chen Zhengcheng smiled knowingly: "Don't worry! On the way back to Kunming, we have already talked about many things! ”

Qi Liang admired Chen Zhengcheng the most, and then ordered in a deep voice: "With the order of Tianshuo Mansion, the five miles around the barracks are listed as a forbidden area, and no one is allowed to enter and exit at will, Tianshuo Mansion will build smelters, foundries, arsenals, etc. in it, and move the manufacturing yard here, and Zhengcheng will be responsible for this matter!" ”

This is a big deal, everyone was moved, Gui Ming praised: "Training recruits and protecting the forbidden area together, it can be described as killing two birds with one stone, very wonderful!" At this time, Qi Liang was quite heroic in guiding the country, but Gui Ming was no longer shocked by the amazing actions of the prince, and the endless new things of the prince had numbed him!

Qi Liang turned the horse's head, folded the horsewhip, and said solemnly: "We still lack a large number of various types of talents, and Zhengcheng still needs to work hard to recruit!" ”

Chen Zhengcheng turned the horse's head around, and his heart fluctuated: "The slave understands!" He felt that the son was conceiving a grand blueprint, and he was implementing it one stroke at a time.

Qi Liang hit his horse down the mountain, running faster and faster, and a sentence penetrated everyone's ears like the wind: "Build a wide road from Kunming to Panlong Valley as soon as possible!" Chen Zhengcheng knew that this sentence was for him.

Later, Xiao Liuzi caught up and asked, "Master!" Where do we go now? ”

"Go meet someone!" Qi Liang didn't stop for a moment.

See a person? Everyone is confused, who is worthy of the prince to visit in person?

When he returned to the city, Qi Liang did not immediately go to visit the man, but first went back to the Pingxi Palace, finished bathing, and after dressing properly, he sat in a sedan chair and then went to visit him. Gui Ming and the others accompanied them, they rarely saw the prince so solemn, and they were full of curiosity about the person who was about to visit.

"Master! Who the hell is that man? Xiao Liuzi couldn't help but ask again, and everyone looked at Qi Liang.

Qi Liang pursed his lips and smiled, and said with fascination: "You will know when the time comes!" "Lift your feet and get on the sedan chair.

Starting from Pingxi Wangfu, he turned two streets and entered a deep alley, "Shizi! This is it! A servant in the Pingxi Palace, he was called by Qi Liang to lead the way.

Qi Liang walked out of the sedan chair, and the waiter immediately went to knock on the door, and the knocking sound was like knocking on everyone's hearts, and the mystery was about to be revealed.

Two four-foot-wide doors opened, and a pair of elven eyes inside were overshadowed by the huge formation outside, and timidly poked out their little heads and asked vigilantly, "You-who are you looking for?" ”

"Xiaotun! Who's out there? There was a murky alto.

"Excuse me! Is Lord Liu at home? Qi Liang said in a loud voice, and the sound was transmitted next door.

The door opened completely "squeak", and inside stood a middle-aged scribe with a white face, a simple appearance, a calm expression, and a slender figure. "You are ——?"

The chamberlain shouted in a shrill voice: "The prince of the world, don't you kneel down to greet you?" ”

At this time, everyone knew who the person the prince had met so solemnly, it was actually Lord Liu Xuanchu, who was known as the first strategist of the Pingxi Palace, and many of the guards around Qi Liang who were born in the Pingxi Palace had seen him.

Liu Xuanchu was stunned, and hurriedly knelt down: "The arrival of the prince is far away, and he should be damned for his humble position!" "On that day, when Qi Liang returned, he did not go out of the city to greet him, although he didn't know the prince, but he still knew this high-spirited chamberlain of the Pingxi Palace.

Qi Liangji took a step forward and stretched out his hand to help: "Lord Liu doesn't need to be polite, but Xiao Wang took the liberty to visit and disturbed Lord Liu's Qing Xiu!" ”

"Shizi! Inside please! Liu Xuanchu stepped aside, the other party came suddenly and strangely early in the morning, and he couldn't figure out the other party's intention in his heart, wouldn't it be to ask for the guilt?

Qi Liang paced in, and saw that there was only a tree planted in the middle of the small courtyard inside, but the yard was clean. "Xiao Wang hasn't eaten breakfast yet, I wonder if I can get a bowl of porridge to drink from Lord Liu?" Qi Liang finished the courtyard in a few steps.

Just here for breakfast? Liu Xuanchu followed Qi Liang suspiciously, followed by a long line of guards, and after a while, the small courtyard was filled. How can so many people be arranged? He's in a big way!

Qi Liang glanced at it and said with a smile: "Lord Liu doesn't have to worry about them, you can solve one of me!" Then he turned around and said, "You all go out and wait, and find a way to solve the breakfast yourself!" "But Gui Ming and Xiao Liuzi will not leave Qi Liang's side, Chen Zhengcheng has a different identity now, and he also followed Qi Liang after arranging it to Liu Shengming and others.

Liu Xuanchu was grateful for Qi Liang's understanding, but he said in fear: "The slave only prepared rice porridge and pancakes, and I am afraid that the prince of the world will ......" The things can't be handled, and he still feels embarrassed.

Qi Liang waved his hand and cut off: "Just eat it, serve it." ”

The scholar Xiaotun served a bowl of rice porridge to each person, and Xiao Liuzi took a sip and put it down, it was difficult to swallow without sugar or salt. And Qi Liang drank happily, and Gui Ming and Chen Zhengcheng also drank happily without pickiness.

Liu Xuanchu is much calmer now, the prince is so pretentious, he knows that the other party must have come with something, and he doesn't speak, waiting to speak.

"I heard that Lord Liu has not been out for many days, and he has ignored the court for a long time, I don't know why?" Qi Liang suddenly spoke, his head still buried in the porridge bowl with blue and white flowers.

Liu Xuanchu said unhurriedly: "The slave is stubbornly ill, weak and weak, and he is powerless for the government!" ”

Qi Liang stood up, Xiao Liuzi immediately handed over the white and clean towel, Qi Liang wiped his mouth gently, and then looked at a calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall, the font on it was heroic and upright, strong and powerful, and read aloud: "Wang Shibei set the Central Plains Day, and the family taboo did not forget to tell Naiweng!" The Southern Song Dynasty poet Lu You's patriotic enthusiasm jumped on the paper, thinking of the current situation Qi Liang was infected by this noble patriotic sentiment, stared at it for a long time, and turned around and said: "Lord Liu's heart is even more stubborn!" ”

Liu Xuanchu was stunned, and looked at Qi Liang complicatedly, people said that the son of the world was honest and stupid, prodigal and extravagant; Some people say that the son of the world is majestic and strategic, and the sky is full of talent, if the sky will descend to earth; There are also people who say that the prince of the world is generous, kind, approachable, and righteous, which is true? But today, the prince comes to visit in full costume and eats thin porridge together, which is not like prodigal luxury; Another sentence breaks through the mystery, and it doesn't seem to be straightforward and dull!

Qi Liang sat down again and looked at Liu Xuanchu who was stunned with a smile: "Xiao Wang will give Lord Liu a dose of a good cure for your heart disease!" ”

Liu Xuanchu was calm, disapproving on the surface, but in his heart he was actually looking forward to it.

"Expelle the Tatars and restore China!" Qi Liang exuded a strong air flow from his heart, word by word.

Liu Xuanchu's spirits were lifted, and his essence was shining, and he was instantly gloomy. Qi Liang understood Liu Xuanchu's changes in his chest, and said: "Poor thousands of miles of Pingrong Zhi, pay for Xiaoxiao in the twilight rain!" This is also Lu You's verse.

Liu Xuanchu gave advice to people all his life, from being a guest of Liu Wenxiu, the king of Shu, to being invited to be the strategist of Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, and the strategies were written countless times, and how many of them were adopted? is valued but not reused, a sentence "Poor thousands of miles of Pingrongzhi, pay for Xiaoxiao in the twilight rain!" "The end of his life of depression.

After a pause, Qi Liang looked at Liu Xuanchu sincerely: "Lord Liu! If you don't give in, I will recommend you to my father as the governor of Tianshuo Mansion! ”

The long history of the Ming Dynasty was the largest subordinate official of each royal palace, and there were left and right, which were generally designated by the emperor himself, and were not allowed to be recruited privately.

Liu Xuanchu was moved, but thinking that King Zhou was still there, what would a small Tianshuo Mansion do? Although the prince will always have a day to ascend to the throne, can Wu Jun hold out until that day? Can your body wait for that day? I couldn't help but be disheartened and bored, and politely refused: "It is an honor for the son of the world to love the slave, but the slave is weak and sick and has ignored the affairs of the court for many days, and I am afraid that he will have the trust of the son!" ”
