Chapter 138: Li Chengdao

---- in the palace of Wan Guifei

Zhao Gong went to find a eunuch who had a good relationship, but who knew that Wan Guifei knew about it, so he was arrested and questioned.

"Zhao Gong, this palace asked you to follow Lord Xu before and after the saddle, why did you run back again, why, do you still want to serve this palace?" After Wan Guifei finished speaking, she took a sip of the tea bowl, enjoying the aroma of the tea, and the charm was long. In the entire palace, the only people who can drink this tea are her and the old man Li Yuan.

Zhao Gong hurriedly said: "Forehead, no, no, the small one is under the order of Lord Xu......"

But at this time, Wan Guifei's face changed and said, "Oh? Listening to your tone, that means that this palace is not worthy of your service? ”

Zhao Gong said straight in his heart, how can I go out for a day and forget about the temperament of this concubine, this is obviously a question with no answer. At that moment, he knelt and kowtowed: "Niangniang, a small capital crime." ”

Wan Guifei laughed: "You are now Lord Xu's follower, and this palace can't kill you......"

Zhao Gong still said: "The little one is not only Lord Xu's follower, but also Niangniang's minion, as long as Niangniang says a word, the small one will go to the knife mountain ......"

"Okay, okay......" Concubine Wan interrupted Zhao Gong's words, took another sip of tea and said: "You came to find the people from the palace this time, what did you do, what did Lord Xu order?" ”

Zhao Gong said truthfully: "Niangniang, Lord Xu said, let me go to the prison to find some oil paper, and then find some medicinal jade, what to do, the little one dare not ask, I don't know." Zhao Gong still left a trace of the situation, that is, he knew that Xu Qing was doing the thing he clamped today, but he didn't know what that thing was called.

Concubine Wan didn't ask in detail, but said, "These things are not all over the street, why does Lord Xu have to find someone who will be a prisoner?" ”

Zhao Gong replied: "Lord Xu thinks that the things that will be the prisoner are better than the ones outside, and Lord Xu's position is more critical, so he sent the villain to find the prisoner." ”

Concubine Wan thought it was reasonable, so she said to a eunuch beside her: "If you go to the prison and take a trip, you will say that it is the meaning of the palace, and let them send ten catties of the best oil paper and one hundred catties of excellent medicinal jade to Xuanwumen." ”

After speaking, Concubine Wan asked Zhao Gong again: "Zhao Gong, how are you doing with Lord Xu?" ”

Zhao Gong replied: "Xie Niangniang is worried, Lord Xu is very good to me, don't call me as a person, and also, Lord Xu cooks a good dish......"

Wan Guifei giggled: "You villain, you have such a good master, but ah, you have to rest assured that the master, otherwise your creation will be in vain." ”

"Respect the life of the mother."

"Okay, you sit here, wait for the eunuch to come, you can ask him for something......" Wan Guifei commanded, got up and left, at this time, a person came in outside, and Lao Yuan shouted: "Aunt Wan, Chengdao came to see you!" ”

"Oh, Chengdao is coming? Hey, let Wan Da Niang hug her...... "Wan Guifei hugged the person who came in.

It turned out that person was Li Chengdao, the second son of His Royal Highness the Prince, because the eldest son of the prince died early, this Li Chengdao was the eldest son of the prince, the grandson of the emperor. The children of the royal family, including Li Yuan's own son, this Li Chengdao is one of the most favored among them.

Li Chengdao called Wan Guifei "eldest mother", which is the meaning of his grandmother, just because Li Jiancheng was not born to Wan Guifei, and Wan Guifei failed to become the queen. But Li Chengdao, the third generation of the emperor, only Wan Guifei has been in contact with the grandmother level, and Wan Guifei has a very high status in the harem, so she serves as a grandmother, but the name is not changed.

Li Chengdao is gentle and elegant at this time, he is already twelve or thirteen years old, and he is placed in the royal family, which is the age to start cultivating and handling government affairs. For example, when Li Shimin's son Li Chengqian was 10 years old, Li Shimin let him learn how to handle government affairs. It's just that I don't know if he can listen to politics after having Xu Qing's outlier.

At this time, Concubine Wan Guifei asked the palace maids and eunuchs to step back and play with Li Chengdao for a while, but she didn't let Zhao Gong leave.

---- Xuanwu Gate

Xu Qinggan waited for a while, but didn't see Zhao Gong come back, so he put on his official robe and went to inspect the inner and outer gates.

Out of the official residence, one step to the left, is Zhuge Yan's official office. Zhuge Yan is just a door supervisor, so naturally he can't be like Xu Qing, who has an official residence and an official office, and his food, accommodation and office are all in the same room. However, Zhuge Yan does not cook by herself, and usually eats in the self-canteen below.

Xu Qing pushed the door in, only to see that Zhuge Yan's desktop computer was a blank desktop, oh no, no, no, I saw that Zhuge Yan's desktop was paper and pen, Xu Qing couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Zhuge Yan was still a Confucian general?

When Zhuge Yan saw Xu Qing coming, he saluted: "The last general will see the general,"

Xu Qing waved his hand, signaling that there was no need to be polite, and then asked: "General Zhuge is still practicing calligraphy, is it really both civil and military?" ”

When Zhuge Yan heard this, his face turned red, and he said embarrassedly: "Don't dare to hide the general, the last general is actually learning to read and write, alas, I can't read the documents that day when I don't know how to read." ”

Xu Qing smiled and said, "Haha, General Zhuge said that he was laughing, why don't you invite a gentleman or directly recruit a master?" ”

Zhuge Yan was even more embarrassed, scratched his head and said: "Find Mr., I can't stand the scolding, the literati scolded, I can't understand it." Looking for the master, he can't stand my scolding, hehe, I, Zhuge Yan, scolding people are ancestors. ”

Seeing that Zhuge Yan had lost his former seriousness, Xu Qing was also dumbfounded, thought for a while and asked, "General Zhuge and I have a patrol, can you?" ”

Zhuge Yan was also bored with writing and reading, and as soon as he threw his pen, he put on his sword and armor and went on patrol with Xu Qing.

During this period, Zhuge Yan and Xu Qing explained in detail some of the mechanisms for guarding the Xuanwu Gate, as well as some key places and methods for defending against the enemy, which made Xu Qing learn a lot. Then, Xu Qing inquired about the formation of the soldiers and horses of the first battalion of the Xuanwu Gate, and what characteristics they had.

Zhuge Yan is a general who has been here for a long time, and he must have his own views on people, Xu Qing also trusts Zhuge Yan and can be said objectively. Even if Zhuge Yan is not objective here, Xu Qing is not in a hurry, Li Yuan has already asked him to preside over the martial arts, and select some talents to enrich the cadres of this Xuanwu Sect. It seems that Li Yuan has plans to build this battalion of soldiers and horses into Xu Qing's headquarters.

Zhuge Yan said the character of each team one by one, it was okay, at least there was no bastard like He Chang. and the person who was beaten with a military stick by Xu Qing that day has long been replaced, and as he spoke, Zhuge Yan talked about the quality of the defenders. He said that these Xuanwumen soldiers were originally veterans from Taiyuan, but because the veterans were injured and died, there were many sons of veterans. Needless to say, their loyalty, but the courage or something, the ability to fight or something, is still far from enough.

Xu Qing listened and felt that this matter had to be taken seriously, so he made an appointment with him, saying that he and the six teams were meeting separately another day and were going to start training.
