"Mother, are you using your daughter as a tool?" It was a good thing, but Sun Mei sounded bad from her mother's mouth.

"What do you mean by using you as a tool?" Mrs. Song looked at her daughter dissatisfied, "Don't you like King Shou?" ”

"Where is the daughter?" Sun Mei didn't admit it.

"Don't admit it yet, do you, do you want to find out the words in your luggage?" Mrs. Song said with a calm face, "Instead of thinking about it every day, why not be bold and fight for it." Weiniang has already won you a chance, and when Concubine Zhang Shu summons you later, you will dress up better, and maybe you will be selected.

At that time, our Sun family can be regarded as having a backer, the family can also raise their eyebrows, and you can also get your wish, the best of both worlds, are you still not happy? ”

"Mother!" was exposed to the little secret, Sun Mei was a little shy, and a blush also climbed up her cheeks.

"Okay, what are you afraid of admitting in front of your mother? You have to take this opportunity and don't cry yourself. ”

"Hmm."

。。。。。。

The Great Tent of the Emperor.

"See the royal brother, see the lady concubine."

"King Shou, there is no need to pay attention to such etiquette outside, our two brothers can be regarded as sharing hardships, even if there are other people in the palace, there is no need here." Seeing Li Ye's matter-of-fact salute, Li Yi's face pretended to be unhappy, and he criticized Li Ye seriously.

"What the royal brother taught is that the younger brother will pay attention in the future."

When Li Ye raised his head, he found that Li Yi was receiving a massage from a beautiful woman at this time, and he looked like he was enjoying it. For this woman, Li Ye also knows, Chen Jingxuan doesn't know where to find it, she is indeed very beautiful, but the charm between her demeanor is undoubtedly revealed, so she was soon loved by Li Yi, and was named a talented person, because her surname is Meng, so she is called 'Meng Cairen'.

And the concubine next to Li Yi with a hint of resentment and even jealousy in her eyes is Zhang Shufei, Zhang Shufei is the previous Zhang Zhaoyi, because she was found to be pregnant last month, she was named Shufei. Li Yi's harem did not have a queen, to be precise, the Tang Dynasty since the queen of Tang Dezong, the later emperors did not have a queen to Li Yi.

Of course, Concubine Shu's status is not low, second only to the queen, so the current Concubine Zhang Shu can also be regarded as the master of Li Yi's harem. However, the strange expression in his eyes was noticed by Li Ye, but after looking at Li Yi's performance at this time, he also roughly understood the reason. Although Zhang Junning was named a concubine, with Li Yi's habit of forgetting the old when there are newcomers, I am afraid that the life of this imperial sister-in-law will not be easy in the future. Of course, if he had given birth to a dragon son, that might have changed.

"King Shou, I told Concubine Shu just now. In the past few days, you will accompany me to hunt hard, and Concubine Shu will help you pay attention to the school-age women of the minister's family, and then select a batch of qualified women, and then let you choose. So you don't have to worry, the royal brother will definitely find you a good princess when the time comes. Li Yi didn't care that Concubine Zhang Shufei and Li Ye were next to him, and one hand sat directly on Meng Cairen beside him and made small movements.

"Thank you, Brother Huang!"

"By the way, you don't have a long history in the palace now, do you? It seems that there is not even Sima. Li Yi thought for a while and said.

In fact, Li Ye's prince's mansion lacks many people, according to the routine regulations of the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the prince and his children and concubines, there is also a Fu (that is, a teacher), from the three grades; A long history of one person, from the four grades; Sima is one person, from the fourth grade; Consult one person who participates in the military, and is on the fifth grade; One friend, from the fifth grade; two literaries, from the six grades; Peng one person and so on.

Anyway, there are more than 30 civilian officials in total, and this is not counting the royal soldiers. According to the ancestral system, the guards under the prince's palace of the Tang Dynasty were divided into the tent house and the family office, and the establishment in the early Tang Dynasty was 1,029 people, and the scale in the later period was around 2,000 people, depending on the situation. And Li Ye's current pro-soldiers have actually been dissatisfied with the formation, according to the regulations, he can be expanded, but Li Ye feels that with the Tiance Army, there is no need to expand the pro-soldiers, otherwise the pro-soldiers and the Tiance Army will add up to 7 or 8,000 people, this number is a bit scary.

Of course, this is just the treatment of the prince's palace, the heir king (that is, the prince who inherits the prince, just like the Fu king belongs to the heir king, the status is lower than the prince, but higher than the county king) and the county king do not have such a good treatment, otherwise it is strange that the emperor can sleep well.

This is also the case, so there have been many coups d'état by the prince in the Tang Dynasty, and the successful ones are like Li Shimin and Li Longji, and a lot of the unsuccessful ones are because of this system, so that the prince has thousands of troops in his hands. This force naturally can't make any big waves in the local area, but in Jingshi, it is possible to subvert the emperor's rule. Therefore, Li Ye also knows how to be proportionate, and only maintains a range of a few hundred for his own soldiers, and the Tiance Army is also stationed outside the city.

On the side of the civilian officials, in fact, it was full of staff during the Chang'an period, but when Li Ye fled with Li Yi, only Pei Rong followed, and the fate of the others can be imagined. Of course, a small number of people fled from Chang'an to Chengdu, and Li Ye also reinstated these old officials, but most of them were lower-level officials. In addition, Pei Rong was transferred to the Tiance Army as the marching Sima, and Changshi became vacant again.

Li Ke bent down and saluted, and said in a calm tone, "If these positions are suitable, it is up to the imperial brother to decide." ”

"Brother Huang has written down this matter, and I will ask my father and the royal servant to help you pay attention to it later, and see if there is a suitable person."

In fact, Li Yi has a few candidates in his heart, but even if he is the Fu of the Prince's Mansion, he is only a third-grade minister, and the candidates in his heart are all ministers of the central government of the third grade, and he will definitely not be willing, so forget it. As for the other ministers, he was not very familiar with them, so he could only ask Tian Lingzi and others for their opinions.

Although some of Tian Lingzi's practices made him dissatisfied before, Tian Lingzi has also done a lot of things that satisfied him in the past month, so he regained his trust in Tian Lingzi.

。。。。。。

The next day, outside the camp, the horn of the assembly sounded.

"King Shou, King Fu, King Ze, King Ji, let's see who has the most abundant harvest today, and the worst has a punishment." After speaking, Li Yi said to Tian Lingzi and the others beside him, "Father, let's go!" ”

Looking at the emperor and his entourage who took the lead in heading towards the mountains and forests under the protection of hundreds of forbidden troops, several other princes and ministers also set off. Looking at Li Bao, the king of Ji who had not acted, Li Ye said hello, "Sixth Emperor Brother, I can go first." ”

After speaking, Li Ye waved his horsewhip and galloped towards the mountains and forests, and Princess Anhua and others next to him also followed after saying hello to King Ji, and finally came out to play once, so naturally they would not miss this opportunity.

After Li Yi, Li Ye and others set off one after another, a general beside King Ji couldn't help asking, "Your Highness, are we leaving?" ”

King Ji looked at the people who had left, especially King Shou, who had just left, and then instructed the people around him, "Let's go, let's go and have a look, I hope we will gain something today." ”

Saying that, King Ji and his party moved, but they walked quickly with the others, and King Ji and his party moved a little slowly. And looking at King Ji like this, he obviously knows how to ride a horse, but why he would rather take a carriage on the way than ride a horse with Li Yi and others, only he knows.

。。。。。。

This mountain is not big, it is not small, but there are a lot of animals in it, and as soon as he entered the woods, Li Ye found traces of several hares. He also wanted to try his riding and archery skills, so he immediately took out his bow, then took out a feather arrow, and then shot an arrow.

However, Li Ye's archery level was still a little worse, and he shot five arrows before he could shoot a hare, which made him embarrassed and a little frustrated.

"Your Highness doesn't need to be frustrated, after all, Your Highness is not very old and lacks strength, so the strength of the arrow is insufficient. The reason why His Highness seemed to work well in training was because it was a fixed target, but when hunting, the animals moved, and His Highness was a little uncomfortable at first. ”

It was Li Hong who spoke, although Li Hong was Li Ye's subordinate, but in archery and martial arts, he was equivalent to Li Ye's master.

Li Hong was responsible for protecting Li Ye this time, and Liu Qi, who was also another lieutenant general, also participated in this spring hunt, but he was responsible for leading the 1,000 Tiance Army soldiers to be responsible for keeping guard in Fendong Mountain, and Pei Rong was staying in the barracks.

"There is no need to flatter this king, there is still some psychological preparation for this." Li Ye humbly accepted Li Hong's guidance, although he didn't have to go into battle to kill the enemy in person, but at this time there were not so many ways to entertain, learn archery well, not only can he protect himself at a critical moment, but also find something to do, he naturally learned more seriously.

"Your Highness, it looks like someone is coming."

Just as Li Ye was about to continue into the woods, the alert Li Hong heard the neighing of horses in the woods on the right, so he reminded Li Ye. The pro-soldiers below are also secretly on guard, although the person who guessed should be a certain team participating in the hunt, but as a pro-soldier, his duty is to protect Li Ye's safety, and before the safety is determined, it is natural to remain vigilant.

And hearing Li Hong's reminder, Li Ye also raised his head curiously, who will he meet? It shouldn't be Li Yi, nor is it the other princes, because before, he avoided these teams, so as not to compete with each other and not be able to hunt prey.
