"The Taoist chief doesn't have to worry about this matter, this king will naturally report it to his father. After all, according to his father's explanation, this king has already found a famous teacher. Naturally, I want to report the good news to my father. Li Ke said to Yuan Tiangang with a smile.

The meaning of Li Ke's words is that he worships Yuan Tiangang as his teacher, which is Li Shimin's explanation. This made Yuan Tiangang no longer able to shirk.

So Yuan Tiangang could only speak: "Since this is the case, then the poor road will no longer shirk." The apprentice of the prince accepted it. ”

Hearing that Yuan Tiangang accepted Li Ke as an apprentice, this couldn't help but make Xue Rengui even more shocked. Because in this way, Li Ke and Xue Rengui became apprentices.

Even according to the order of apprenticeship, Li Ke still called Xue Rengui a senior brother. This is something that Xue Rengui didn't dare to agree to no matter what.

So Xue Rengui hurriedly said: "Congratulations to the prince for worshipping the famous teacher, since the prince and the end will become the apprentices of the same master, they can be regarded as the same family." From then on, the prince will be the senior brother of the last general. ”

"You were a few years older than this king before you were apprenticed. There is no status in the division, and some are just getting started sooner or later. So from now on, you will be the king's senior brother. Li Ke said after waving his hand.

This couldn't help but make Xue Rengui not know what to do, but Yuan Tiangang nodded with satisfaction. I think Li Ke is a manufacturable material.

A person who does not claim to be noble as himself must have a heart to recruit talents. Such a person's achievements must be extraordinary.

This also made Yuan Tiangang finally understand why Li Shimin would send him to Qizhou. It seems that Li Shimin may also have some intention in doing this.

Even Yuan Tiangang felt that one day, Li Shimin might abolish Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince and replace Li Ke as the crown prince of the dynasty.

So he felt even more that he should accept Li Ke as an apprentice, after all, Yuan Tiangang was not a person who was indifferent to fame. Otherwise, Li Shimin would not have been allowed to go to Qizhou.

And Yuan Tiangang in history was recruited into Chang'an City by Li Shimin. Li Shimin once asked Yuan Tiangang, "In ancient times, there was Junping (Yan Junping of the Han Dynasty, a master of mathematics), and now I am Deqing, how does he compare with you?" ”

And Yuan Tiangang's answer to Li Shimin was, "Yan Junping was born at the wrong time, and the minister is much stronger than him!" It can be seen from this sentence that Yuan Tiangang has a career in mind. Otherwise, he would not have stayed by Li Shimin's side in the end and acted as the chief think tank.

And if Li Ke becomes the crown prince of the dynasty one day, he will naturally become the monarch of the Tang Dynasty in the end. And Yuan Tiangang is Li Ke's teacher, and his future status is naturally extraordinary.

So Yuan Tiangang opened his mouth and said, "Rengui doesn't have to care about this. Although you are the prince's senior brother in the division, you are also the prince's subordinate. ”

……

Li Ke informed his subordinates that a day later they would perform a ceremony of apprenticeship in the palace. Let all the people in Qizhou attend the ceremony.

In the end, Li Ke and Xue Rengui presented tea to Yuan Tiangang under the witness of everyone and completed the apprenticeship ceremony.

Later, Li Ke paid a greeting to Xue Rengui to meet his senior brother, which scared Xue Rengui a lot. hurriedly flashed his figure, and did not feel Li Ke's gift.

Then he said with trepidation: "Although I first worship the master as a teacher, I am a subordinate of the prince after all." How can you afford the gift of the prince. ”

Yuan Tiangang on the side also spoke: "Rengui is right, the prince is the son of the current emperor, how noble his identity is. Even if you are a teacher in the future, you don't have to salute. ”

"The difference between the teacher's words, Xunzi once said, heaven and earth, the foundation of life; The ancestors are the foundation of the kind; The master is also the root of the rule. There is no evil life in heaven and earth, no ancestors are evil, there is no evil rule by the monarch and teacher, and if the three are separated, there will be no peace. Therefore, the ceremony, the heavens, the earth, the ancestors and the king, are the three books of the ceremony. ”

Therefore, it is a matter of course for the master to be worshiped by his disciples. How can an apprentice forget the gift of his master and apprentice because of his own king? Li Ke waved his hand and said to Yuan Tiangang.

Li Ke's words made Yuan Tiangang speechless, and he could only shake his head helplessly. Because Yuan Tiangang knows, no matter how he says it. I'm afraid that Li Ke will not disrespect the gift of master and apprentice.

So Yuan Tiangang didn't say anything more, but a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He was naturally very happy that he could accept Li Ke as an apprentice.

Later, Li Ke ordered people to prepare a banquet and entertain everyone to dine in the palace. It was not until late evening that the feast was dispersed.

……

"Your Majesty, this is a memorabilia sent by His Royal Highness King Qi." Wei Zheng sent the folds sent by Li Ke to Li Shimin respectfully.

(The fold should have appeared in the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, and it should have been called table, form, note, enlightenment, speech, and 牒 in the Tang Dynasty.) In order to popularize the dragon soul, everyone doesn't like it, don't spray. ）

Li Shimin took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile on his face. It turned out that it was Li Ke who reported to Li Shimin that he had worshiped Yuan Tiangang as a teacher.

At the same time that Li Ke worshiped Yuan Tiangang as his teacher, he wrote down his own hand and ordered people to send them to Chang'an City. It was transferred by Wei Zheng to Li Shimin.

After Li Shimin saw it, he said with a smile: "This kid is really a needle, even if this king wants to bring Yuan Tiangang back, I'm afraid he is still in Cao Ying's heart in Han." ”

"I don't know why the emperor said this, could it be that His Royal Highness King Qi has done something intriguing?" Wei Zheng asked Li Shimin puzzled.

The fold that Li Ke gave to Li Shimin was not something that Wei Zheng dared to open casually. So naturally I don't know what Li Ke wrote in the memorabilia.

"This kid actually worships Yuan Tiangang as a teacher." Li Shimin said with a helpless expression on his face, handing over the fold in his hand to Wei Zheng.

After Wei Zheng opened the fold and browsed it, he said to Li Shimin with a smile: "It is also a happy event that His Royal Highness the King of Qi can worship Yuan Tiangang as a teacher. ”

"Yuan Tiangang's talent should be known by the emperor, and he will personally teach His Royal Highness the King of Qi. The emperor no longer has to worry about the words and deeds of His Royal Highness King Qi. Wei Zheng said with a smile.

At this time, Wang De, who was standing beside Li Shimin, opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the slave estimates that Yuan Tiangang should have peerless martial arts. And I'm afraid even the minions are no match for him. ”

Wang De is Li Shimin's personal bodyguard, and this matter is not a secret to the high-level. So naturally there is no need to hide it in front of Wei Zheng.

When Li Shimin heard Wang De's words, he couldn't help but feel extremely shocked. Because Li Shimin is very aware of Wang De's martial arts, it is an existence that even Wei Chi Gong and Qin Qiong and others dare not despise.

But Wang De actually said that Yuan Tiangang's martial arts were above him. This had to shock Li Shimin. Even Wei Zheng on the side was surprised.

"It seems that I still underestimated Yuan Tiangang. But with him by Ke'er's side, I have nothing to worry about. Li Shimin nodded with a smile on his face and said.
