Chapter 27: The Contest (1)
At the entrance of the medical school, there is a lot of traffic.
"What kind of person, such a big pomp, even wants the dean to greet him personally?"
"Who knows? Although the dean is friendly, his status should not be underestimated, and the one who can greet the dean in person is definitely not the powerful of the dynasty, they do not have this qualification, only young talents have a trace of possibility......"
"Then it should be the princess standing in the dean or something, I don't know who it is?"
The medical students looked at the Emperor Taishang and Princess Changle, who were surrounded by palace guards, and immediately stopped to watch, and there were many discussions, and in less than a moment, a large group of people were already surrounded.
"Grandpa Huang, it seems that you get along well with the students here." Li Lizhi heard the discussion of the medical students and smiled lightly.
"Of course, the imperial grandfather is now old, and he doesn't want to move his arms and legs, so he can only teach and teach his students these things, otherwise wouldn't it be boring to sit alone in the deep palace?
It's a misfortune that you're here, and there is a student from the Japanese Kingdom, that person's name is Huiri, and you ...... Lizhi."
Li Yuan looked at Li Lizhen's height, about one meter four or five, and he teased: "The people of the Wa Kingdom are generally short, and Huiri and Lizhi are about the same height, or even shorter. ”
"Really? Is there such a person in the world? Li Lizhen was surprised.
"Wait a minute, Ke'er is here." Li Yuan looked at the street in the distance, and the carriage that marked King Wu's mansion drove slowly until it stopped at the entrance of the medical school.
Three people got off the carriage, Ma Zhou, Li Ke and a young man.
"Ke'er see the emperor's grandfather."
"Ma Zhou visits the dean."
The two people who were familiar with the Emperor gave gifts one after another, Li Ke was the grandson of the Emperor, and his luggage was quite dignified and solemn. Ma Zhou is a former lecturer at the Taishang Emperor Medical College, and prefers to use the word dean to indicate the closeness between the two.
"Brother Xue, the one in front of you is the imperial grandfather of Ke, my emperor of the Tang Dynasty." Li Ke pulled Xue Rengui to introduce to the Emperor, and after finishing speaking, he smiled at Xue Rengui and said: "Brother Xue, Ke can find you and make friends with you, thanks to the recommendation of the emperor's grandfather, otherwise even if there is a pearl and jade, it will be difficult to show it in the sand." ”
Xue Rengui was dressed quite plainly, and his washed white clothes looked shabby, he hugged his fists and saluted the Emperor Taishang respectfully, and then sighed: "Xue Li has also heard of the reputation of the Emperor Taishang in Longmen County, if it weren't for the burden of the old family, he would have gone to Chang'an a long time ago...... I was admitted to medical school. ”
One of the benefits of medical school is that it provides free room and board for poor students. For a poor family like Xue Rengui, it was a naked temptation.
After that, Xue Rengui bowed sincerely to Li Ke and said gratefully: "Thanks to His Royal Highness King Wu's appreciation, otherwise my mother might still have to live in the cold kiln, worrying about what she eats......"
Since the early death of his father Xue Liang, the former Jiangmen family has declined rapidly, and when he came here, the once wealthy mansion was also replaced by a dilapidated thatched house, and Xue's mother also had eye disease, and his movement has always been inconvenient, so he can only go up the mountain to collect firewood to subsidize the family.
Fortunately, Li Ke found him in advance, and then befriended him, bought a house in the county seat of Longmen County, arranged Xue's mother to move in, and there were two or three maids.
If you think about it, this is prolonging Xue Mu's life!
"Brother Xue, don't talk about those who don't have it, Lone said that there is a lonely day, there is a day for you Xue Li. You and I are both husbands, why bother twisting and pinching, your aunt is your mother's relative, that is, Lone's relative, let your aunt live happily, and Lonely's heart also feels happy. ”
Li Ke was very chic, quickly interrupted Xue Rengui's gratitude, and then pointed at Li Lizhi and said, "This is Lone's younger sister, Princess Changle, whom my father has always loved." ”
"Hello Princess." Xue Rengui took a closer look at Li Liqing, and then quickly lowered his head.
Li Li frowned, Xue Rengui and Changsun Chong in front of her were of the same age, but they were the same as Mu Ne, she couldn't help but doubt the judgment of the Emperor Taishang, and she was inevitably a little curious, so she said: "I heard the emperor's grandfather say, you are a young and handsome man, I don't believe it, you tell me, what are you good at?" ”
Xue Rengui was stunned for a moment, and when he was about to say something, Li Ke replied in advance: "Brother Xue can use all kinds of weapons, but if you talk about the most dazzling thing is his archery skills, there is no false hair, comparable to the Chu State God Shooting Yang Youji, and Li Guang at the time of the Han Dynasty is no more than that." ”
"Oh? Is it? Li Lizhi obviously doesn't believe it, archery has always been respected by the Guanlong aristocracy, it can be said that none of the civil and military officials of the dynasty are not skilled in archery.
She pointed to the Emperor Taishang and said: "Third brother, Li Zhen heard from her father that the archery skills of the emperor's grandfather are unique in the world, and when she married the imperial grandmother in Chang'an City, two arrows hit the peacock screen. The young man in front of him didn't know if he could be better than the imperial grandfather. ”
In order to marry Queen Dou, Li Yuan, the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, shot two arrows into the eyes of the peacock on the screen, which has always been cited as the story of the marksman who shot the tiger with Li Guang.
"Grandpa Huang, you said yes?" Li Lizhi blinked her eyes with a look of adoration.
"Uh...... Sort of. Li Yuan's face darkened, he had never touched the bow since he crossed over, how could he know his true archery level.
And thinking of Xue Rengui's archery level, the three arrows during the Liao expedition to Tianshan Mountain, etc., he felt empty-hearted.
But the loser does not lose the battle, the Emperor Taishang humbly waved his hand and sighed: "There are talented people in the country, and they have led the way for hundreds of years. The emperor's grandfather is old and can't pull the bowstring, but if you shoot arrows, your third brother is also one of the best, so he will come out and compete with Xue Li, if anyone wins, so-and-so will ......"
He groped around for a long time, found a piece of jade pendant, and said: "Whoever wins, this piece of Lantian jade will be rewarded to whomever he wants, and there are ten jars of spirits there, and they will also be rewarded to him." ”
In ancient times, productivity was low, and brewing wine was an act of depleting national strength, not to mention high-purity liquor. Therefore, the Emperor Taishang has always only sold perfumes, which consume less alcohol and are expensive, which is worth making a wave of money. Therefore, the spirits have always been cherished by him privately, and occasionally have a drink.
The third son of the emperor, Li Ke, was a frequent visitor to the emperor's place, and of course he knew the value of spirits, so he laughed and said, "Is the emperor's grandfather serious? Although Ke knows that Brother Xue's archery skills are amazing, he has no leisure time to compete on the road, so today I want to see if Brother Xue is powerful or lonely. ”
There was a twinkle in his eyes.
In the end, is the "cause and effect me" Wu Wang Li Ke archery powerful? Or is Xue Rengui of the Three Arrows Dingtian Mountain powerful?
Li Ke's archery skills are not false, he has received the most sophisticated education of the royal family, and he can shoot wild deer as a gift to the emperor when he is young, and he has been praised by Li Shimin.
This is like, if you talk about fighting, is it Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, who is powerful, or Li Shimin, the first emperor of the ages?
Who knows the outcome?
