Chapter 246: Accompany the King of Chu to inspect the military posture

Li Mi saw the sharp eyes of King Chu Ding, but his heart calmed down, because he had seen too many such eyes, and everyone who wanted to see through him would eventually be seen through by him.

After all, Li Mi has the superiority of a traveler, so even in the face of a high-ranking and powerful vassal king like King Chuding, he can be neither humble nor arrogant, which is very rare in the eyes of the ancients.

Because scholars often refer to this trait as integrity.

He is just a consolation and pacification governor, a petty official of the ninth grade, and he is not a permanent official position, and he has no actual deeds, and he is not a literati, but a martial artist, and King Chuding is also very curious about where his confidence comes from.

King Chu Ding knows the entire Wuchang City well, but the level is high, and the horizon is naturally high, he may know about those pickled things in the palace, but he will not understand the life of a lowly commoner.

This is also because neither Zhu Wanrao, the lord of Guining County, nor King Chuding at this time, pay much attention to Li Mi, and Li Mi's attraction to them is not even comparable to Suo Changsheng, who is on the sidelines.

It is precisely because of this that Li Mi's temperament is even more strange, and King Chu Ding wants to look at it twice.

But in the end, it was just a matter of looking at it twice, although the old lady deliberately emphasized Li Mi's role in this matter, but in the eyes of King Chu Ding, this was just an excuse for the old lady.

The old lady is the backbone of the Kang family, isn't it as good as a foreign kid who knows the Kang family better?

So just a short gaze, King Chu Ding took his eyes away from Li Mi, and didn't care much about the three of Li Mi.

"Since the old lady can afford it, let's go and open your eyes together."

Li Mi also breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked the prince: "Thank you, the prince, for lifting up." ”

King Chu Ding didn't bother to wave his hand, turned back to the old lady and said, "Old lady, let's go, shall we?" ”

The old lady walked forward with his grandson Kang Chunxia and walked out with King Chuding, and Li Mi and the three of them followed behind.

Li Mi couldn't help but lower his voice and reminded Suo Changsheng: "Changsheng, you can keep a low profile for a while, just mess around, don't be strong in everything, do you know?" ”

Suo Changsheng thought that he had done Li Mi a great favor and successfully attracted the attention of King Chuding for Li Mi, but at this time, when he heard Li Mi's warning, he was inevitably a little confused.

How many martial artists sharpened their heads and wanted to enter the palace, how could Li Mi let go of such an opportunity in vain? According to Li Mi's cleverness, it shouldn't be impossible to see how much of an opportunity this trip is, right?

"Brother Li, why is this?"

Li Mi thought about it, he couldn't tell Suo Changsheng about being a famous commander, and this time he came to investigate the matter of King Chu Ding and told Suo Changsheng, so he thought of an excuse.

"Do you remember that Zheng Duofu beside the Lord of Guining that night?"

Suo Changsheng remembered that it was this Zheng Duofu who gave advice to the Lord of Guining County, and Li Mi was able to investigate the matter of Kang Chunxia's Gu.

"Do you have a grudge against her or a relationship?" Suo Changsheng is also a smart person, and he doesn't need Li Mi to explain more, but he couldn't help but ask after all, because he clearly saw Zheng Duofu's extremely infatuated eyes on Zhang Huangting, which showed that Li Mi and Zheng Duofu were by no means lovers.

But he really didn't understand, why Zheng Duofu hated Li Mi so much, could it be that Li Mi ate both men and women, and Zheng Duofu ate Li Mi's dry vinegar because of Zhang Huangting?

Li Mi did not answer directly, but said to Suo Changsheng: "Whether there is affection or hatred, she is a high-ranking relative of the emperor, and she talks with the lord of Guining and others, but she is not the same kind of person as me, snakes have snake roads and ants have ant roads, so why bother to be bored?" ”

Although Li Mi's explanation was a bit far-fetched, Suo Changsheng understood Li Mi's intentions in the end, so he said to Li Mi.

"Master, I am a person who is not even afraid of the prince of Chu, and other people don't pay attention to it, if you don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, let's see how they are."

When Li Mi heard this, he also smiled helplessly, and didn't say anything more.

As I said earlier, this royal city occupies most of Wuchang City, in addition to the mansions of many county kings and generals, there are also many scenic spots such as the Iron Buddha Temple, plus yamen and public offices at all levels, it can be said that the nobles are everywhere.

In addition, there are places such as Lake Gedi, which were dug and drained or built for the pleasures of the royal family.

Among them, there is naturally a large school field specializing in martial arts and reviewing the guards, because the palace of the king of Chu is responsible for guarding Jinling, so the military training has never dared to be relaxed, and the people of Wu and Chu are still martial, so it is also very lively.

Wu Chu is the location of the ancient country, and he has always been an unyielding character, and there are examples of how the king of Wu Chu was unwilling to surrender in the early Song Dynasty.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, the Mongols fought to Huguanglai, and were also resisted by Xiangyang City for several years and could not continue to go south.

When King Chu Ding came to the school field, the school field was already in full swing, the people and horses were clean, the cloth was stubborn, the bearing was soaring, the wind was fierce, the sonorous and powerful sound of the friction of the armor piece, all of which made people feel excited!

However, Li Mi's attention was not focused on this, next to the school field, the county lord of Guining and Zheng Duofu and others were waiting in the pergola early.

After all, it was night, and I couldn't see it very clearly, but now it was a blue sky and white day, and Li Mi realized what a beautiful person this Guining County Lord was.

She is the * of King Chu Gong, the sister of King Chu Ding, although she is in her twenties, but she is still not married, it is said that her vision is quite high, and many nobles want their children and grandchildren to become the guests of honor in the palace of Chu Wang, but after all, no one has this beautiful blessing.

This Yibin is also the Yibin of Zongren's Mansion, which is the title of the husband of the noble women such as the county lord and the county lord of the Ming Dynasty, which is equivalent to the princess's husband is a concubine.

Li Mi has never been very interested in military affairs, even this time he took the martial arts test, and it was just for a step.

However, he also had to admit that the scene on the campus field was still exciting.

Although he had also seen the military parade in later generations, in Li Mi's view, the motherland's military parade was more majestic and powerful than other countries, and it was more shocking, so he was not too interested in King Chuding's review drill before.

But at this time, he discovered that the era of cold weapons also has the charm of the era of cold weapons, and the kind of heroic martial arts full of armor and bows and swords is really heartbreaking.

When King Chuding arrived at the platform, the lord of Guining and others came up to greet him, and everyone watched, and Li Mi was not good at catching up with Zhang Huangting, so he just stayed behind and watched.

He saw King Chu Ding and Zheng Duofu greeting each other, greeting the Zheng family, and also saw Zheng Duofu deliberately taking Zhang Huangting with him, which was quite show-off, and also saw King Chu Ding ask Zhang Huangting some words.

In short, he and Xiong Tingbi Suo are as low-key as they can be, and as inconspicuous as they can be.

After all, it was only a regular inspection, not a large-scale inspection, and there was no need to make a big move, and after a demonstration, a few sergeants stayed, and the others dispersed.

The old lady is a heroic character, seeing these sergeants, the mood is also a lot better, Xu is recalling the glory of the Kang family in the past, and now all hopes are pinned on Kang Chunxia, the grandson, and he is even more flattering to King Chuding, so he said to King Chuding.

"The prince's guards are becoming more and more majestic and majestic, and it is also thanks to the prince's familiarity with military books, Wen Taowu's strategy, although the old body is a woman, but he has seen a lot of troops, but after all, he can't compare to the prince's heroic division."

King Chuding was also very happy, after he inherited the prince, it was Zhu Xianhuai, his uncle, King Wugang, who came to act on behalf of the palace for more than two years, and he was not allowed to govern himself.

On the grounds that Zhu Huakui was not born to King Chu Gong, Zhu Xianhuai controlled the affairs of the feudal state, restricted Zongyi, exploited the palace family's bedroom, persecuted the concubine, killed people and set fires, and looted all the treasures of the kings of Chu in the past dynasties.

And the reason why Zhu Xianhuai is so fearless is that it is said that he has the evidence that Zhu Huakui and Zhu Huabi are not born to King Chu Gong.

The clansmen of the Chu King Sect's Mansion felt that if this matter was leaked out, it would definitely bring a catastrophe to the Chu King's Mansion, so they could only let Zhu Xianhuai threaten him, so that this person could do anything wrong.

At that time, Zhu Huakui, the king of Chuding, was still young, but he was relatively early and wise, so he asked Zhao Xian, the governor of Huguang, to secretly invite him in, accusing Zhu Xianhuai of bullying him at a young age, seizing power by force, and confusing the clan, and asking Zhao Xian to bring soldiers and horses to kill Zhu Xianhuai.

Zhao Xian is the governor, and he has the duty of patrolling the world on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and the chaos in the clan is naturally his top priority, but he just asked him to bring officers and soldiers to do it, and he didn't have the courage to do it.

So Zhao Xian thought about informing the emperor first and letting the emperor come up with ideas.

But Zhu Huakui knows very well that if the emperor knows, what happened will inevitably be exposed, although whether he and his younger brother Zhu Huabi are the biological sons of King Chu Gong is still two words, but once it reaches the ears of the emperor, even if he is biological, he will be suspicious, and it is unlikely that he wants to inherit the prince.

So he persuaded Zhao Xian, took a step back, and conspired with Zhao Xian to scare Zhu Xianhuai, who was still afraid after all, and happily handed over the royal power.

Zhu Huakui knew that he would not give up, and he was not in a hurry to inherit the throne, but asked Zhu Xianqi, the king of Anton, who believed that he was from an innocent background, to be the head of the sect, and it was not until he was older that he began to take charge of the feudal state.

At that time, he was able to successfully take over the great authority of the king of Chu, and it was precisely because he successfully controlled this escort army and had the army as a force that he successfully inherited the throne.

So even though he is now firmly on the throne, he has a lot of affection for this army, and he treats the soldiers in the army even more preferentially, and the soldiers are also dead set on the new prince.

It is precisely because of this that after hearing the old lady's praise, King Chu Ding was also very happy, after all, the old lady is an expert in knowing goods, and if she says it is good, it is naturally good.

So King Chuding said to Lao Jun: "The old lady has praised it, but this king has indeed collected a few good seedlings, thinking that this time I will accompany a few princes and grandsons who have not become successful to participate in the martial arts examination, how about the old lady help me check the gates?" ”

The old lady was worried that he didn't have a chance to promote his grandson, but he didn't expect King Chu Ding to take the initiative to mention it, and he was very happy in his heart.

On that day, Kang Chunxia and others gathered in the hall in order to pass the selection of the palace and participate in the martial arts exercises of the palace.

But because he was in a coma in Gu, and then went through so many things, in the end, he missed this assessment, and now everyone has been selected, but Kang Chunxia, Li Mi, Xiong Tingbi and others have missed it.

So the old lady took the opportunity to say: "Then the old body will try hard, but Chunxia and Li Mi are also preparing to participate in the selection of the prince that day, but the first mess in the family is missed, this day is not as good as hitting the day, horizontal and vertical is a coincidence, today it is better to let them try, if they get into the eyes of the prince, it will also give them the opportunity to ask the prince for a lesson or two, which is also their blessing, what does the prince think?" ”

When King Chu Ding heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Li Mi and the others.
