Chapter 41: Drills, or Drills (I)
On February 18 of the second year of Lin De, the emperor list has been released, take seven Jinshi, more than 30 Ming Jing, although Luo Bingwang, who is famous all over the world, is also among them, but ranked first from the bottom, the list is released, the Beijing teacher is in an uproar, and there are not a few people who question the fairness of the scholars, however, Luo Bingwang himself is calm, but there are questions, all of them are pretending to play poorly, and the matter is peaceful, and immediately, Luo Bingwang went to the Ministry of Officials to test as the seventh Jinshi, and was awarded the position of Fenglilang of the Ministry of Rites, and the official rank was nine.
On February 20 of the second year of Lin De, the inner court issued an edict, and Li Xian, the king of Lu, took the domain of Qizhou, which opened a precedent for the establishment of the Tang Dynasty without fault for the son-in-law, especially when Li Xiangang became famous in the edict case, as the sun was in the middle of the day, as soon as the edict came out, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned, however, the matter involved the heavenly family, although the ministers had doubts, but no one dared to say anything about it, and for a time the rumors of Li Xian's fall from grace were very loud.
Obviously, for Li Xian, who is trying to participate in the overall situation of the court as soon as possible, this edict can be described as a slap in the face, and it is never an exaggeration to say that it is a slap in the face.
On February 22 of the second year of Lin De, perhaps because he was afraid of seeing Li Xian's resignation, or maybe he was tired of staying in Chang'an City, Gaozong suddenly issued an edict, ordering the east to hunt Luoyang, leaving the prince Li Hong in Beijing to supervise the country, and immediately, he did not wait for Li Xian to go to Qizhou to take up the domain, and took the Empress Wu and Princess Taiping, who had just completed two months, and his party rode the eastern tour in a mighty manner, the momentum was magnificent, but the hurry of action could not help but be suspected of dodging, at least in Li Xian's opinion.
It's good to be gone, save the noise! Although Li Xian's "be" was unwilling to be a vassal of Li Xian, but there was no way, he could only "send" a journey, as for the departure of Gaozong and Empress Wu, Li Xian's heart was not even a little bit of attachment, of course, the kung fu on the surface was fully done, but his heart was full of pleasure/feeling of relief - Gaozong didn't know if he really forgot it before leaving, or did it intentionally, he didn't make any arrangements for Li Xian, let alone explain that he assisted the prince in governing the government, so Li Xian has really become an idle prince, if he is replaced by Li Xian and other people with great ambitions, then he will definitely feel deeply aggrieved, but Li Xian is different, he does not plan to make trouble with the prince, nor does he plan to participate in the affairs of the court indiscriminately under the condition of an unstable foundation, can get this leisure, you can take advantage of the situation to sort out the future calculation, and you don't have to be careful to beware of the means of the martial arts, Li Xian has no reason to be dissatisfied, of course, what is even more satisfying to Li Xian is that the "Two Saints Pilgrimage" that should have happened in the previous life did not appear, obviously, The butterfly wings encouraged by Li Xian have initially changed the trend of history, which can be regarded as a good start for the future, and has given Li Xian the confidence and courage to change his own destiny.
Confidence and courage are of course good things, but after all, that thing can't be eaten, the road is still long, and it still needs to be walked in one step to get past is the right way, this truth Li Xian knows very well in his heart, no, as soon as Li Xian is sent away, a long-delayed thing has to be put on the agenda - martial arts!
The reason why Li Xian plans to practice martial arts really doesn't think much about how to gallop across the field in the future, just because he intends to use it as a coat to avoid suspicion, of course, if he can practice his skills, even if it doesn't work, but if he can get the "Weigong Art of War", Li Xian can also be satisfied, but unfortunately Li Boyao is obviously reluctant to cooperate with Li Xian's thoughts, and the excuses are one after another, which has been delayed for more than half a month, and he has not seen Li Boyao come to teach. It can only be resigned, as soon as Gaozong leaves, Li Xianke doesn't want to drag it out so endlessly, as soon as he sends Li Xian away, Li Xian turned around and sent Gao Miao to kill the dignitaries of the Weiguo Gongfu with gifts, this time Li Boyao didn't find those salty excuses, but simply agreed to come to the door for guidance, but Li Xian was excited, no, he got up before dawn, and he washed up casually, and he didn't even care about breakfast, so he hurriedly changed into a martial arts outfit.
"How? Isn't it like a general? ”
Li Xian was wearing a bright silver soft armor, covered with a snow-white cloak, white fox fur combat boots, wearing a hero's crown, two long pheasant tails were inserted left and right, and he shook out a majestic gust of wind when he turned around, not to mention, it was really a bit of a white-robed young general's posture, of course, he seemed to be a little shorter, and his face was immature, and the military general was a military general, but it was just on the stage.
"Like, really like, if Your Highness takes another silver spear, it will be even better."
A group of little maids saw Li Xian being self-absorbed there, and they were all amused, and when Li Xian asked, Cuiliu, who had the fastest mouth, couldn't hold back his words and answered, and then immediately laughed so much that his waist couldn't stand up, and the rest of the maids saw this, first stunned, and then they all leaned forward and leaned back with laughter.
Silver guns? I'll take it, this damn girl, wait, the master will take you the first to open meat! Li Xian was looking proud, and when he heard Cuiliu's words, he didn't taste right, but he pondered, and immediately woke up, daring to love this girl is saying that he Li Xian is silver-like wax spear head, his eyes widened, and he took out the posture of the prince, and he was ready to go crazy, but unexpectedly, this posture was swinging, and the maids laughed even harder, making Li Xian lose his temper, who let him spoil these maids in the past, when he really wanted to put up a shelf, obviously no one was birding him, helpless, so he had to scratch his head with a wry smile, and simply laughed loudly, For a while, the room was filled with laughter.
"Your Highness, General Li has arrived."
Just when the room was full of people laughing happily, Gao Miao trotted all the way into the door, and didn't care how the maids made a fuss, he came to Li Xian, bowed, and hurried to make a report.
"Oh? Okay, quick, I'm going to meet it. ”
Hearing that Li Boyao was really here, Li Xian couldn't help but fight with the maids anymore, so he waved his hand and ordered to go to the front yard.
"Your Highness, General Li has already arrived at the small schoolyard, but he just sent someone to come to the court, saying that he asked His Highness to move." Seeing that Li Xian was leaving, Gao Miao hurriedly explained.
"Huh?"
But all the prince's mansion, according to the pattern, there is a small school field, its role in addition to the palace guard exercises, there is another role, that is, used to play polo, Li Xian's Zhou Wangfu is no exception, but Li Xian has always been interested in polo, and equestrian has not yet begun to practice, so he has not been to that area at all, but I don't know that the small school field is located on the west side of the palace, as for the things that are too thin, Li Xian has no concept at all, and even how to go to the small school field Li Xian is not too clear, I couldn't understand how Li Boyao could go to the small school without entering the palace, but he was stunned for a moment and didn't react.
"Your Highness, General Li has been here for a long time, look ......"
Gao Miao saw that Li Xian didn't react for a long time, so he had to remind him again.
"Let's go, go to the elementary school!"
Although he was a little dissatisfied with Li Boyao's behavior of not entering the mansion, Li Xian didn't say anything about it, just waved his hand, motioned Gao Miao to lead the way, and led a group of guards and maids to the small school.
The small school field is actually not small, nearly 30 acres in a square area, its specifications are only slightly smaller than the south school field used by the South Yamen, one end is connected to the west wall of the palace, there is a small door to communicate, as for the north and south There is also a door each, when Li Xian arrived, there were already a lot of palace guards in the small school field, and Xiao Yanzheng, the royal army, was accompanying Li Boyao, and seemed to be discussing something.
"See Your Highness!"
As soon as the generals of the guards saw Li Xian leading people out of the west gate, they all rushed up to greet them, and they all saluted and greeted each other, but Li Boyao stood still.
"Excuse me, excuse me."
Li Xian raised his hand with a smile, signaled to the generals to excuse him, and then strode in front of Li Boyao, bowed, and said very politely: "Xiao Wang has seen General Li. ”
"Don't dare, does Your Highness want to go on stage?" Li Boyao returned the salute with a solemn face, but the words he answered made Li Xian frown when he heard it.
"This ...... Hehe, General Li said with a smile, Xiao Wang came to ask General Li to teach. Hearing Li Boyao's harsh words, Li Xian couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, but he didn't bring it to his face, but explained with a smile.
"Since His Royal Highness wants to practice martial arts, the last general will not dare not teach, but there is one thing I ask Your Highness to forgive, the last general is strict by nature, if His Royal Highness can't bear it, then please forgive the last general for not daring to teach." Li Boyao didn't pretend to be a little embarrassed by Li Xian's smiling face, nodded indifferently, and said without being arrogant or humble.
Yes, you know it's not so bento, and it's done, you can just let the horse come over! Li Xianzi had long known that Li Boyao didn't want to teach himself, and he would definitely find something difficult to let himself know the difficulties and retreat, at this time, seeing Li Boyao say this, he didn't mind too much, and said with a slight smile: "General Li rest assured, since Xiao Wang has decided to practice martial arts to strengthen his body, he has listened to the general's teachings, what advice does the general have, and please speak bluntly, Xiao Wang should be right." ”
"Okay, please ask Your Highness to shed this glamorous outfit first, and then come back after a short fight." Li Xian expressed his position simply, Li Boyao replied even more simply, and he heard the black lines in Li Xian's head wildly.
Glossy? I'll take it, Cheng, don't you just change your clothes, let's go, see what else you can make difficult! Li Xian kept babbling in his stomach, but he still had a bright smile on his face, nodded and said, "The general has learned a lesson, and let Xiao Wang go to change his clothes, and ask the general to wait." ”
"Hmm." Li Boyao said noncommittally, although the expression on his face was still cold, there was a hint of different emotions in his eyes.
"The general is invited, Xiao Wang will go back when he goes."
Li Xian is best at observing words and colors, although the trace of strangeness in Li Boyao's eyes flashed quickly, but he couldn't hide it from Li Xian, and he immediately had a bottom in his heart, but he didn't say anything, just greeted with a smile, and led a group of maids back to the room to change clothes without mentioning it.
