Chapter Twenty-Four: The Little Fox Fights the Old Fox

The crown prince spoke on behalf of Li Zhi and Empress Wu, of course Li Ji couldn't refuse, so he had to agree at the moment, but his gaze at Li Xian was a little strange. Knowing that Li Xian, who had succeeded in a big event, would still be an eyesore in front of Li Ji, he hurriedly took the opportunity to propose that everyone go horseback riding together, but before he took two steps, he heard a voice from behind.

"His Royal Highness King Pei, since you want to learn the art of war, then you can be regarded as my true disciple. Come with me to the study, I have something to say. Wu Sheng, take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Helan to the racecourse! ”

Seeing a tall and sturdy man coming up next to him and inviting Li Hong and Helan Yan away without saying anything, Li Xian couldn't help but cry out in his heart, but when he turned around, he was full of smiles: "The master has a teaching, so I will naturally listen to it." ”

"Follow me!"

Li Ji didn't say a word of nonsense, he raised his feet and entered the study, Li Xian had to follow, and he had the intention to leave the door open for a while, but when he saw Li Ji's face, he still closed the door.

This study is very large, except for the side by the door, there are bookshelves on three sides, some of which are stacked with paper books, some are stacked with bamboo slips, and most of the books look a little old. Li Xian only glanced at it before withdrawing his gaze, and then sat down opposite Li Ji.

"His Royal Highness King Pei, I still want to ask a question, now that the northwest has been pacified, and my foreign enemies in the Tang Dynasty are scattered and unable to support the threat, why do you have to learn the art of war?"

Seeing that Li Ji smashed over such a problem again, Li Xian knew that this was a threshold that must be crossed. The problem was that a positive answer would inevitably lead to more difficult questions, so he threw out the rhetorical question that he had already prepared in his mind.

"Dare to ask the master, now that you are over seventy years old, how long can you fight on the battlefield?" Seeing that Li Ji's expression was somewhat relaxed, he immediately hit the railway while it was hot, "Now my Datang Dynasty is indeed famous for the coming of the great countries, but does the master see that those generals who used to be horizontal and immediate, are all old?" Master, the famous generals of your generation have basically died, and those who sue the old are old, and Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui are also old, and the rest of the people are all green and yellow! You say now that Datang has no external troubles, but who can say for sure in the future? ”

Seeing that Li Ji's eyes were shining, he immediately glared back unconvincedly. After staring at him for a while, he finally saw the one opposite and sighed.

"His Royal Highness King Pei said such a thing, usually those children's tricks are probably done for others to see, right?"

Hearing this, Li Xian immediately understood that he had just gone too far. And Li Ji is notoriously cautious, he won't really be self-defeating, right? He waited there for a long time, but he waited for a digression.

"His Royal Highness King Pei and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have always had a good relationship?"

"Of course, he's my fifth brother!"

Well, after tossing for so long, it turns out that Li Ji is still worried that he will threaten Li Hong's crown prince! It wasn't enough to intimidate once last time, this time it's a roundabout inquiry. The horizontal and vertical words had already been clicked through, and he simply stopped being verbose, and stood there straight waiting for Li Ji's final decision.

I don't know how long it took, Li Jihuo stood up, took a deep breath and said, "Okay, Your Highness is ambitious, I will accept you as a disciple!" If I go to the battlefield in the future, I will also make it clear to Your Majesty that Your Highness will accompany you to watch the battle! ”

After just a while, Li Ji's attitude suddenly took such a 360-degree turn, and Li Xian suddenly couldn't react. When he figured out the meaning of these words, he almost wanted to look up to the sky and laugh happily, but he still endured it, and then bowed to Li Ji respectfully: "Thank you, master, for making it complete!" ”

Li Ji didn't say a word, he casually took out a few thin booklets from the shelf and handed them to Li Xian, and instructed in a deep voice: "According to folk rumors, if you learn a military book, you can become a military advisor, and you can be considered undefeated, but in fact, it is all absurd. I was born in a rich family, when I just entered the green forest, I only knew how to fight, and the so-called art of war was also accumulated a little bit by myself when I was fighting. ”

The master gave the secret book of the military book, and of course Li Xian carefully accepted it, and was about to ask for a piece of furoshi to wrap these books, but a sentence floated in his ears.

"I heard that yesterday you said at the banquet of the queen mother that a certain prime minister was greedy for beauty and released the prisoner privately?"

Li Ji actually knew about it! Li Xian's eyes rolled, and he smiled: "That's because I learned about the original case from the eldest brother Jingye, and I borrowed the wine to say it, who knew that I was reprimanded by my mother." Master, if I'm not mistaken, when the queen mother hosted a banquet for the courtiers' wives yesterday, it seems that the master was not there, right? ”

As soon as this sentence came out, he saw Li Ji's face change to the ground, and he was secretly happy in his heart. It was easy to get back a city, and he was willing to stop there, and added with a smile: "What the eldest brother Jingye said yesterday was probably what the master told him?" I was quite strange at the time, no matter how rich Hu Gong of Ankang Lou is, he is just a businessman, how can the eldest brother know that this matter can still involve Li Yifu. ”

Ahh

Seeing Li Ji coughing again and again there, he didn't say any more, just stood there and waited for Li Ji's next words. This was a full cup of tea, and he was almost impatient, and Li Jicai finally spoke again.

"It's not impossible for you to use palace maids to train soldiers, so you can avoid outsiders from making irresponsible remarks. It's just that Sun Wu's methods back then were definitely inferior to you, even me. It's just that others only know that ordering and prohibiting is the way of a general, but they don't know that ordering and prohibiting is only the simplest. It is easy to suppress the above, but convincing people is not something that can be done well by just using authoritarian and military pressure. It's still two words, proportion, these experiences are all left by predecessors when they were governing the army, it depends on how much you can experience. If you don't have this talent, it won't be beneficial for me to teach more. ”

It's really an old fox, and he can leave everything out in a few words, what kind of master is this! People are all apprentices who meet the kind of famous teachers who are eager to teach each other, how can I just run into such a person as Li Ji who doesn't hum or ha!

Li Xian pricked up his ears and wrote them down one by one, and while he was slandering in his heart, he was still thinking about the affairs of Li Yifu. He has heard the word Li Mao mentioned many times in the past, and since the nickname is cat, it is conceivable that Li Yifu is not a little bit good at camping. Yesterday, he had already re-mentioned the case in front of Mrs. Li Yifu, and it was estimated that Li Yifu would not react at all.

Li Yifu recruited his parents to like it, but what his father was thinking about was that Li Yifu helped abolish the queen, and he also got rid of the eldest grandson Wuji, and his gratitude was far less than that of his mother Wuhou. Now that his mother's idea can't be beaten, then he should use his brains with his father, after all, his father Li Zhi is the real emperor!

The worries of his parents first, and the happiness of his parents later, this is the biggest criterion for his current behavior, and it is unacceptable to favor one over the other.
