Chapter 35: Stalking (II)

"The Art of War" is a good thing, Li Xian naturally doesn't want to let it go, even if he can't practice it himself, it's not bad to keep ** subordinates, maybe by chance, concocted a bunch of little Wei Gong, that's not a big deal, but it's a pity that this thing is obviously not easy to get - when Li Jing wrote the book, he offered a whole set to the palace, unfortunately that set was taken to Zhaoling by Taizong as a funeral, and now in addition to Li Boyao's hand, there is no second set in this world. Even his father Li Deqian didn't have it, obviously, if the Li family's father and son were not settled, Li Xian's wish would not be realized.

Twisted melons aren't sweet? Maybe, but there can still be melons to eat, right? It's better than a void with nothing, besides, as long as the melon vine can be reversed, Li Xian doesn't believe that the melon is enough to fat, how bad the melon can really be, of course, the premise is not to twist the melon vine to death, otherwise, it is really possible to end up inside and outside is not a person, this, it requires skill and patience, obviously, Li Xian is not lacking in both, he can afford to wait, this wait is enough for nearly half a month, until the spring boudoir has passed, Li Xian finally waited for the holy decree he needed to enter the door.

"The Holy Son of Heaven has an edict saying: Li Jing, the first guard prince, has made great contributions to the country, the first emperor is in Japan, and he has been praised many times...... Yin Yizi, with seniority, admire this! ”

Waiting requires patience, but the shot must be decisive, Li Xian is a deep rhyme, this from his father got the required holy decree, immediately led several small eunuchs, lined up the prince's ceremonial drive, put on a full posture and went straight to the Wei Gong Mansion, of course, with the holy decree in hand, the door of the Wei Gong Mansion is extremely convenient, not only that, the Wei Gong Mansion also has to rush to pick up the car, there are many old and young, kneeling on the ground, listening to Li Xian read the holy precepts, don't say, don't look at Li Xian is small, The voice is not small at all, and when the holy decree is announced, there is a kind of majesty and solemnity, and the bearing is higher than that of the old eunuchs who are usually responsible for announcing the decree.

"Ministers thank the Holy Grace, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Wei Gongfu has been the second generation, decades of endless rewards, it seems that this kind of scene has been seen for a long time, since there can be no risk of losing the manners, when Li Xian's voice just fell, a group of people have followed the old routine, the mountain shouted thank you, decent, it is impeccable, of course, Li Xian this time is to ask for someone to come, even if there is something wrong, it is a blind eye.

"Wei Gong, congratulations."

Li Xian handed over the rolled holy decree in his hand to Li Deqian, and said with a smile, the smile is as kind as it is, but in Li Deqian's opinion, this smile is really hard to bear, without him, just because the human favor is not in vain - Li Xian's request for a reward is not a confidential matter, Li Deqian has also heard the rumors, there is no doubt that Li Deqian does not want such a purely icing on the cake in his heart, the problem is that he can't have much say in this matter, and now the holy decree has been issued, How dare he not accept it, this time, wouldn't he owe Li Xian a favor, as for what to do, it will make Li Deqian difficult, and Li Deqian is not a hypocrite, how can he be depressed by the grievances in his heart.

"His Royal Highness Lao, he has received the grace of the saint, and the lower officials are grateful."

No matter what he thought in his heart, he couldn't help but say what he should say, Li Deqian hurriedly bowed down, took the holy decree with both hands, and said it dryly, and then he didn't say anything, so he seemed to have intentionally and unintentionally forgotten to invite Li Xian to the hall to talk.

"Gong Wei is polite, Xiao Wang, cough, cough, cough, cough......"

Li Deqian can forget the invitation, but Li Xian will never leave so knowingly, otherwise, wouldn't that reward be in vain? No, seeing that Li Deqian was going to pretend to be confused, Li Xian was full of slander in his stomach, but he didn't bring it to his face, but after smiling politely, he immediately faked a cough.

"Your Highness, what are you ......" Li Deqian saw that Li Xian was coughing uncomfortably, and he didn't dare to pretend to be confused anymore, so he hurriedly asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay, Xiao Wang's first summoning, he was angry for a while, and it will be fine for a while." Li Xian's fake cough was originally to lure Li Deqian to speak, but when he saw that Li Deqian really took the bait, Li Xian immediately unceremoniously hit the snake with the stick.

"Ah, the lower officials are patronizing and happy, snubbing His Highness, Haihan, Haihan, please invite Your Highness to come in for tea and rest, okay?"

Seeing that Li Xiandu had already said something to such a point, even if he was reluctant in his heart, Li Deqian didn't dare not say anything about the invitation, after all, Li Xian is the prince today, if he really offends him ruthlessly, if something happens in his life, the Wei Mansion may not know how many small shoes to wear, helplessly, Li Deqian can only smile and accompany the crime, and welcome Li Xian into the second hall, each of them sat down, and a group of people hurriedly served the freshly brewed fragrant tea.

"Gong Wei, this tea is good, it's good to use it alone, good!" Although he was not thirsty, Li Xian still picked up the tea bowl in a fake manner, took a big sip, and praised it with a smile, his face was full of intoxication, as if he really liked this tea.

"Your Highness is polite, this tea is produced in the farm at the south end of the Yangtze River of Xiaguan, if Your Highness thinks it is good, there are many places in Xiaguan, Your Highness may wish to take more when you turn around." Li Deqian had something in his heart, and when he saw Li Xian mentioning tea at this time, he didn't think much about it, and responded casually.

"Okay, Xiao Wang has heard of Wei Gong's generosity for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was really so, Xiao Wang was born, hehe, okay, Wei Gong Guo has the legacy of Lord Lingzun, thinking about the past, Lord Lingzun galloped across the field, bravely broke through the Kou, majestic and invincible! Xiao Wang can't be born a few years early, so I can appreciate the demeanor of my big ** god, it's a pity, it's a pity. Li Xian was a person who could climb up with a pole, and as soon as the bend was turned, he immediately went around Li Jing's body, and his words were full of emotion.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, it's really difficult for the lower officials to be as good as the father's case, and get the wrong award from His Royal Highness, and the lower officials are panicked and frightened."

Li Xian said it generously, but Li Deqian listened to it in his ears, but his heart sank, what he was afraid of was that Li Xian said about martial arts, the problem was that Li Xian praised his own father, and he Li Deqian couldn't help it, so he could only thank him honestly.

"Wei Gong is too modest, alas, don't hide from Wei Gong, Xiao Wang is annoyed, seeing that my Tang Dynasty is not quiet, the war is endless, worried, and see the generals of the Manchu Dynasty are white-headed, how can Xiao Wang sit and watch, now Xiao Wang is in line with the heart of Zhenwu at the will of his father, it is true that Xiao Wang's posture of Pu Liu is really difficult to become a big weapon, but it can be an example for the world, if it can help his father to stabilize the world, it is Xiao Wang's luck, and I hope that Wei Gong can see Xiao Wang's hard work, and fulfill Xiao Wang's filial piety, lonely and grateful." Li Xian's eloquence was mixed up in the officialdom of later generations, and he was a good man, and he said that he would come down as soon as he said it, which can be described as full of emotion, laying out facts, reasoning, and by the way, he also pulled out the banner of Gaozong as a tiger skin, which made Li Deqian break out in a cold sweat.

"Ah, this, this, this ......"

In terms of eloquence, ten Li Deqian combined, is not Li Xian's opponent, was Li Xian said so and so, Li Deqian didn't know how to answer - to put it all right, Li Deqian did not want to have anything to do with the children of the heavenly family, this is the rule handed down by Li Jing, the first guard prince, but do you want to refuse on the spot, first, it is difficult to get over the face, after all, Li Xian has given enough benefits here, and secondly, openly rejecting Li Xian's words, doesn't it mean that Gaozong's will is inappropriate, and there is inevitably a suspicion of resisting the will, poor Li Deqian is so anxious that he sweats like a spring, I couldn't say why, and I was so embarrassed for a while that I didn't know what to do.

"Does Duke Wei dislike Xiao Wang's incompetence?"

Li Deqian was embarrassed enough, but Li Xian didn't intend to expose it, his little face was solemn, and he said in a cold voice as if he was quite dissatisfied.

"Don't dare, don't dare, the lower officials, how dare the lower officials, this, this ......"

Seeing that Li Xian's face changed, Li Deqian immediately panicked, stood up in a hurry, bowed down and apologized, and the stammering appearance was as pitiful as it was.

"Oh, that's Xiao Wang's misunderstanding, Duke Wei, please take a seat." Seeing that Li Deqian was completely panicked, Li Xian's face immediately turned a little pale, smiled faintly, flicked his sleeves, and motioned for Li Deqian to take a seat.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your forgiveness." Li Deqian had been rubbed by Li Xian and was a little out of proportion, for fear of saying too much and making too many mistakes, so he hurriedly thanked him and sat back in his place.

"So that Wei Gong learned that Li Chunfeng and Li Taishi had spoken to Xiao Wang before returning to seclusion, saying that Xiao Wang's teacher should be in Zuo Xiaowei, Xiao Wang originally didn't believe it, that is, he tried it in vain, but he didn't expect to see Li Sijie below, he knew that what Li Taishi said was true, and he was really fascinated, if he could get Wei Gong's permission, Xu Xiao Wang would learn some skills with Li Sijie, and Xiao Wang's honor was also, Xiao Wang did not expect to be able to go into battle to make meritorious contributions, but to be able to strengthen his body, to persuade the world to set an example, his heart is really enough, if Wei Gong can allow it, Xiao Wang came to your mansion to apprentice on an auspicious day, so can it be done? After Li Deqian took a seat, Li Xian spoke sincerely, and his tone was very sincere, but the undoubted meaning inside was so strong that it was choking.

"To be valued by His Royal Highness, the luck of the dog, but the dog has no talent and no virtue, if he misses the major event of His Highness, the sin of the real official, I hope His Royal Highness can sympathize with the first or second official." Li Deqian has been forced into a corner by Li Xian, and there is no room for turn, but after thinking about the ancestral training, Li Deqian still did not dare to disobey easily, and after pondering for a while, he still politely rejected Li Xian's request.

"Wei Gong's words are bad, Li Sijie's ability is that General Su is also full of praise, Xiao Wang can worship him as a teacher, it is really high, of course, Li Sijie has an official position, Xiao Wang does not dare to abolish the public for personal reasons, just ask Li Sijie to go to Xiao Wang's mansion on the third or fifth day, point out Xiao Wang, and teach some sword and horse kung fu is enough, when it will not cause Li Sijie to miss the main business, so it should be okay?" Hearing Li Deqian's refusal, Li Xian was willing to give up, his face was cold at first, as if he wanted to be angry, and then his skin twitched a few times, and he spoke again, but there was a bit of resentment in his tone, it seemed that he was on the verge of going crazy, and Li Deqian couldn't help but feel a little frightened......
