Chapter 1185: Collapse

"Can you still fight?"

Cheng Qian's right foot picked up the wooden knife that Li Jing had been knocked down. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Looking at Li Jing, Cheng Qian seemed to see himself six years ago. The current Li Jing brothers are as young and energetic as themselves six years ago.

"Of course!" Li Jing's chest rose and fell, his body was covered with sweat, although his whole body was in pain, he knew that there must be several bruises on his body, but it didn't make him flinch.

"Don't underestimate me, we all have a kind of sons and daughters of the Li family." Li Jing took the wooden knife thrown by Cheng Qian, and played a knife flower, his eyes were full of the strength of a little tiger, "Father told us a long time ago that if you can fight, you can still be beaten." Just a few times, it's nothing. ”

Cheng Qian laughed, he liked his brother-in-law and brother-in-law very much.

He has the same energy in him as he does.

This momentum was taught to them by Taishi, who was a student of Taishi, and Li Jing was the son of Taishi.

"I'm not going to release water, come on!"

Cheng Qian laughed and swung his knife and pounced, and the two fought again.

Under the corridor next to the martial arts arena, Li Chao leaned on the back of his chair and watched their passionate competition.

Youthful flying.

"My eldest grandson Wuji only serves you alone in this life, really." The eldest grandson Wuji next to him slowly sipped the wine in the glass, the sweetened wine was really sweet.

What the eldest grandson Wuji admires most about Li Chao is not Li Chao's resourcefulness, nor his ability to make money, but Li Chao's ability to teach people the most. The crown prince can be said to have been taught by Li Chao, and the eldest grandson Wuji can say that since the Wei and Jin dynasties, there has never been a prince who is more mature and rational than the young Chengqian.

Even he was thinking that if the crown prince succeeded to the throne at this time, he would be able to sit in that seat as well.

Look at these sons of the Li family, not to mention the twelve-year-old Li Jing, even those children who are only five or six years old are also full of intelligence.

There is something awe-inspiring about the children of the Li family.

The family rules of the eldest grandson's family are also strict, but their own children are missing these things from the children of the Li family.

"The Li family can't get out of the way, and I don't allow the Li family to be in the way." Li Chao smiled and said to the eldest grandson Wuji.

"My eldest grandson's family also has very strict family rules." The eldest grandson Wuji said.

"Strict family rules are only one thing, the key is to train them to be independent."

"How?" The eldest grandson Wuji turned his head and asked very seriously.

Li Chao smiled slightly.

There are some things that are not very magical to say, but even if they are said, drawing a gourd in the same way may not be successful. Li Chao has absolutely the final say on the education of the Li family's children.

He never thought of spoiling children.

There is a gorilla in the American zoo who licks the head of the baby orangutan every day and licks the baby orangutan into a bald man. Pampering is actually an instinct.

It is often said that there are no more than three generations of wealth, and this is exactly the case. Especially for people who are suddenly rich and rich, they spoil their children too much, and the result is that they have raised gentlemen, and one generation is not as good as the next.

Cui Yingying is still quite supportive of Li Chao's education methods, she is also from a famous Cui family, the Cui family is a thousand-year-old scholar, and the family rules are extremely strict, so Cui Yingying knows these well.

"The children of the Li family can cook, and the dishes are not bad, will the Wei Guild let the children of the eldest grandson family learn to cook?" Li Chao looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and asked with a smile.

Eldest Sun Wuji shook his head.

The eldest grandson's family is also a famous family, and it was also the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty back then, and the eldest grandson's family is still a relative, and it is also a top minister in the court, why should he let his son learn to cook?

"The children of our Bashang Li family not only know how to cook, but also children over the age of ten, even if they throw him into the Qinling Mountains and are alone, they will be able to survive for a week. They know how to survive, where to find food, how to camp in the open, how to hunt and fish, how to avoid snakes and beasts, how to find herbs, how to give first aid, and how to find directions·······"

Eldest Sun Wuji shook his head again.

"I give them armor and weapons, but they have to take care of themselves. I gave them horses, and they had to slay their own horses every week. I even let them go to harvest wheat and rice every year when the farm is busy. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji asked, "Are these necessary?" ”

"It's necessary, it's very necessary, if you just let them start learning literature and martial arts when they are young, even if such a child reads a lot and is good at martial arts, he can't become an excellent child. To educate children, the most important thing is to develop their character, knowledge and talents are only secondary. ”

Chang Wusun Ji couldn't help laughing.

"You always do things in one way, but the results are always unexpected. I regret that I didn't send my child to your home sooner to teach. ”

Li Chao shook his head, "My son teaches himself." ”

"But the prince was taught by you." The eldest grandson Wuji said.

Li Chao ignored him.

The autumn breeze is cool.

The courtyard is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers.

"Your Majesty is very satisfied with your knowledge and the overall situation." The eldest grandson Wuji changed the subject.

"So did Your Majesty agree to my offer?"

"This needs to be reconsidered."

Li Shimin's Liaodong change of title made many lords a little dissatisfied.

However, the current emperor is at the peak of his voice, and everyone is a little dissatisfied, and not many people say it.

However, Li Chao knows that this kind of dissatisfaction will also accumulate slowly, and when it reaches its peak, it will be different.

"Wei Guogong, don't you think it's unrealistic to want the horses to run and the horses not to eat grass?"

The eldest grandson Wuji said seriously, "But when it comes to soldiers and horses, it is always the top priority, and we must be cautious and cautious." ”

Li Chao said very politely, "But the imperial court divides the heroes into the frontier, what kind of place is that?" In the land of barbarians, there are more people in the Fan than in the Han people, and the situation is complicated. Whether it is the Western Regions or the Saiwai, or the northern Liaobei and the southern barbarians. ”

"But the Tang Dynasty soldiers are in the world, which one dares to attack?" The eldest grandson Wuji said.

"Wei Guogong, can you believe this yourself? Even if the Tang Dynasty is now destroying the Turks in the north and Goguryeo in Dongping, is there still Tuyuhun committing crimes? Barbarians are barbarians, that is, they often don't even have their own leaders, and there are no rules for them to behave. In a catastrophe, they may come and plunder the criminals. ”

"The vassals of the Tang Dynasty have all made contributions to the Tang Dynasty and have made great contributions immediately. Now the feudal frontier is a vassal for the imperial court, it can be said that the vassals have paid a lot for the fiefdom, and although the imperial court is strong now, it is impossible to garrison troops and horses in the land of the frontier vassals. The security of the vassals' territory cannot only be pinned on the fact that the Tibetan people will not attack, nor can they count on the little guards in the current fiefdom. ”

"For the security of the fiefdom and the security of the frontier of the Tang Dynasty, it is necessary to increase the number of troops for the vassals."

"King Zhao, what you said makes sense, but it is very dangerous to increase the troops of the vassals. This precedent is not easy to open, and the court is afraid that it will not be able to control it in the future. ”

Li Chao just smiled.

"What's out of control? Vassals' soldiers cannot leave the fiefdom, and even if they increase, they are limited in number. And my proposal does not increase the number of troops much. ”

"But you asked the court to give the command and transfer of the militia to the vassal lord."

"But vassal lords are also under the command of the imperial court." Li Chaodao.

The eldest grandson Wuji was silent.

"Wei Guogong, what I mentioned was not mentioned from the perspective of being a vassal, but from the perspective of the Tang Dynasty and the imperial court. What is the purpose of the fiefdom? Don't forget our original intention, which is to screen the Tang Dynasty. If you don't even have some force, how can you suppress the Tang Dynasty? Could it be that the imperial court wants to send the vassals to the frontier to die? In order to let the vassals be slaughtered by the Tibetan people one day? ”

"Increase the number of troops in the fiefdom, give the command of the territorial militia to the lord, and even the garrison of the imperial court in the fief should also be under the command of the lord. At the same time, I hope that the imperial court can give half of the tax revenue of the domain to the vassals. ”

"What King Zhao said, I will report to Your Majesty when I return to Luoyang."

Li Chao smiled, "Isn't Your Majesty coming back now?" ”

"I'll be back a year ago."

·······

"Your Highness, I will definitely be able to defeat you next time."

On the martial arts field, Li Jing, who had a blue nose and swollen face, said to Cheng Qian very unconvinced.

Cheng Qian's face was also swollen, but he didn't care, but felt hearty.

"Haha, I'll wait."

After the meal, the eldest grandson Wuji and Cheng Qian left the Zhao Wangfu together.

"Your Highness, the fight you just had was too dangerous."

"It's just a competition."

"Your face is swollen."

"It's okay, it's nothing." Cheng Qian was unimpressed.

The eldest grandson Wuji sighed, "Your Highness, clean up after returning to the palace, and we will go to Luoyang early tomorrow morning." ”

"What are you going to do in Luoyang?"

"This time, I came back on the orders of His Majesty, and I took you to Luoyang."

"The queen is dying."

Cheng Qian turned his head in shock, "What? ”

"Your Majesty set off from Dengzhou to return to Beijing, and when it was feasible to go to Bianzhou, the queen fell ill, and His Majesty had to temporarily move to Luoyang in the name of inspecting Luoyang to treat the queen. However, the situation is very bad. ”

The queen has always had a qi disease, but this time it was quite serious, almost as ferocious as a landslide. Now the queen is all relying on Lao Ginseng Lingzhi and others to hang her life, and her health is getting worse day by day.

Cheng Qian clenched his teeth and widened his eyes.

"It can't be."

When the queen left Beijing four years ago, the scene of the farewell of mother and son was still vivid, and the queen was still so young, only in her thirties.

"It may have something to do with the fact that the queen gave birth to the princess of Xincheng this year."

The queen has three sons and four daughters, and in the three and a half years in Dengzhou, the queen gave birth to two more daughters, Princess Jinyang and Princess Xincheng, plus Princess Changle and Princess Chengyang who were born in her early years, as well as three brothers of Chengqian, and the queen has three sons and four daughters.

"Then please ask the teacher to go to Luoyang, the teacher must have a way." Cheng Qian's urgent road.

The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head.

"We found the medicine king Sun Silu, but the queen's illness has no cure, and she has no power to return to heaven. King Zhao, he is not a doctor. Go back and pack up, and rush to Luoyang to see the queen for the last time. ”

"No, turn around and go back, I want to pick up King Zhao, and I will go to Luoyang to save my mother now." Cheng Qian's stubborn way.
