Chapter 41: Asking the Guilt
After the matter was properly arranged, Li Chengji returned to the small courtyard where he lived.
But I didn't want to, and I saw Zhuqing standing outside the courtyard from a distance.
After seeing Li Chengji, he instantly rushed over.
"Young Master! Xiao-Xiao-Xiao is here. Zhu Qing pointed in the direction of the study, a little ashamed.
Because Li Chengji had instructed him, no one was allowed to enter the study without his permission. So after Xiao Chongde entered, Zhu Qing felt that he was very derelict in his duties.
After hearing this, Li Chengji only waved his hand and didn't say much.
After all, no one in the Li Mansion dared to disrespect Xiao Chongde. Even his cheap father, Li Shichang, also respects Xiao Chongde and Uncle Xiao.
These subordinates dare not disobey Xiao Chongde's intentions.
Lee Seung-ji also understands! I quickened my pace and hurried to the study.
As soon as he entered, he found that Xiao Chongde was sitting on his improved Taishi chair for a long time. In front of the table, there is still his unfinished "The Art of War". A small pile of rice paper used to take notes was quietly set aside.
It seems that reading books is too fascinating! So much so that he stood on the edge of the threshold for a long time, and Xiao Chongde didn't react at all.
This made Li Chengji hesitate whether to remind him.
At that moment, a slightly stern question sounded in his ears.
Just listened: "Yizhi, a few days ago, you contradicted your mother?" ”。
When Li Chengji heard this, he immediately understood that Xiao Chongde was invited by Li Xiao's family. Otherwise, how could Xiao Chongde know about his dispute with Li Xiao.
He honestly responded: "Yes!" ”。
Seeing that Xiao Chongde didn't even raise his head, Li Chengji's heart suddenly tightened. It was also when I learned martial arts with Xiao Chongde before, I deeply realized Xiao Chongde's power. It's strict, it's like the king of Yama who is black at the bottom of a pot. Let him think about it, and he will be afraid for a while.
Just when his heart was weak, a long sigh sounded in his ears again. Listening to Xiao Chongde, he said with some seriousness: "The Book of Filial Piety" Ji Xiaoxing, have you ever remembered? ”。
Li Chengji knew what Xiao Chongde meant, so he asked Xiaozi to quickly find out for himself. At the same time frowning, pretending to remember.
When the relevant words appeared in front of him, he immediately said aloud: "The son said: 'The matter of filial piety is also close to the family, the residence is to pay respect, the raising is to be happy, the illness is to cause his sorrow, the mourning is to his mourning, and the sacrifice is to be strict. The five are prepared, and then they can be pro. Those who are close to each other are not arrogant, they are not chaotic for the bottom, and they are not arguable in ugliness. If you are arrogant at the top, you will die, if you are chaotic at the bottom, you will be punished, and if you are ugly, you will be killed. The three are not removed, although they are raised with three animals every day, they are still unfilial. ’”。
Seeing that Li Chengji memorized it so skillfully, the anger in Xiao Chongde's heart disappeared a little. He looked up and said, "Yes! Well memorized. It's just that this deep meaning, can you still know? ”。
"The kid naturally knows!" , Li Chengji said, and read out the explanation given by Xiaozi according to the script.
After hearing this, Xiao Chongde's face was much more relaxed. He stroked his gray beard and said suspiciously: "Since you know everything, why do you knowingly commit it?" ”。
Li Chengji immediately said sincerely that he was just hot-headed for a while, not intentionally. And in retrospect, I feel how wrong I was. I thought selfishly, and I would find Li Xiao's tea later to admit my mistake.
Xiao Chongde is very satisfied with such an attitude of admitting mistakes. The original interrogation words were all useless.
Seeing this, Li Chengji hurriedly said his grievances again.
When it came to Mladili and others, they were severely taught by their brothers. Xiao Chongde slapped the table and said proudly: "Good job!" Those barbarian cubs are the ones who should be taught and taught our Liao people's sons. ”。
Although the Great Liao had moved westward, the tribes under its jurisdiction also included various ethnic groups such as the Huihe, the Qarakhans, and the Persians. But in the eyes of Xiao Chongde and other older generations, only ethnic groups such as Khitans and Han people with Oriental facial characteristics can be regarded as real Liao people. Those Huihe, Persians, and Qarakhans with high noses and deep eyes can only be regarded as barbarians who are not of my race.
In addition, he was very dissatisfied with the current situation in the Great Liao Dynasty and the Hui Sect flooding the North Courtyard.
Therefore, in my heart, I don't want to see these Huihe people, Persians, and Qarakhans who are very different in appearance.
Li Chengji looked at it, and hurriedly added fuel and vinegar to say how Mla Dili and others deceived people too much. And how did he, Wang Mingyan and a group of brothers use force to teach Mladili and others a lesson.
Xiao Chongde listened, and suddenly felt that Li Chengji performed well.
So in the end, he also swore that he would find Li Xiao to talk about it. Let him not be too broad about Li Chengji.
This result made Li Chengji overjoyed.
It was also when he was handling cases in the past that he learned a set of systematic conversation skills. It is often used when questioning criminal suspects. Today, Xiao Chongde, who faced the Xingshi questioning, took retreat as advance and came in handy again. In the end, Xiao Chongde was convinced.
There is no way, at this stage, the only one who can persuade Li Xiao's is Xiao Chongde.
Because after the war between the Great Liao and the Gur Kingdom ended, Khorezm cut off the tribute to the Great Liao. Therefore, a few days ago, his father was ordered to go to Yulong Jiechi (now Old Urgench, Uzbekistan), the capital of Khorezm, together with the privy envoy of the Northern Court, Mahmut Tebai, to ask for guilt.
This round trip takes at least ten days and half a month.
If Li Xiao is allowed to take care of himself in such a way, then he will have little control over what he does.
Therefore, after the anger came up that day, he couldn't help but argue with Li Xiao.
But the effect seems to have backfired.
was having a headache for this, so Xiao Chongde came to the door by himself.
Li Chengji naturally pushed the boat along the river and asked Xiao Chongde to persuade Li Xiao for himself. Judging from his highly respected seniority, he is the only one who has this qualification.
However, although Xiao Chongde agreed, he still reminded Li Chengji in words. Let it be filial piety first at all times. In the face of Li Xiao's discipline, he can't disobey. In the end, the other party is his mother-in-law. Whatever you do, it's for his good.
It is also mentioned that in order for him to have a strong physique. From now on, the teaching of martial arts to him will resume.
Since he got sick, Li Chengji hasn't practiced for a long time.
I didn't think about it, but I have to recover again today. A face, also bitter haha.
Because Xiao Chongde taught too harshly! Like in the first few days, his legs and stomach were smashed by the stones shot by Xiao Chongde.
So he still thought about letting Li Xiao change his master.
But looking at the current situation, it seems that there is no room for manoeuvre.
Distressed like this, Xiao Chongde suddenly asked, "Yizhi, have you been studying the art of war recently?" ”。
"The boy has His Majesty to hang the curtain, and he is fortunate to be the head of a hundred households. I thought selfishly, read more military books, and expand the territory for Daliao as soon as possible. Li Chengji's face was not red, and his heart was not beating and he was telling righteous and awe-inspiring lies.
