Chapter 44: The Prince's New Hobby
Since being examined and warned by Emperor Laozi, Li Chengqian has really been much more honest, and he has not tossed for a long time, and even Chinese New Year's Eve and Shangyuan have been very honest.
There was no nonsense, there was no blockbuster, the 'Lanruo Temple' was a quiet mess, and the eldest grandson queen once thought that Li Chengqian was sick, and sent the imperial doctor to diagnose him from time to time.
The days passed quietly, and just when everyone thought that the crown prince had finally stopped, His Royal Highness the prince had already turned his interest in another direction.
"Lao Wang! What about people? Why haven't you come yet? Li Chengqian, who is already 9 years old, stood at the gate of Xichi Courtyard, glancing into the distance from time to time, as if waiting for someone.
At this time, it was the first year of Zhenguan, and Chang'an, which had just spent a cold winter, also woke up from its slumber.
It's just that these have nothing to do with Li Chengqian, because as the cold winter passes, his 'Lanruo Temple' has also returned to the state of grass growing and warblers flying, and pheasants and hares hare haunt the weeds from time to time.
"Your Highness, people are still outside the palace, and the living people need to be checked and understood before they can be released." Wang Chenghu worked as a contractor for a winter, and was not released until the weather warmed up.
In the distance, a young man in cloth could already be seen walking towards Xichi Courtyard under the leadership of the guards, but looking at the thin figure, Li Chengqian asked a little uneasily: "Lao Wang, are you sure that the person was found from Xiu Village, Longmen County, Jiangzhou?" ”
"Yes, Your Highness, it's true." Wang Chenghu bowed and replied.
"That's good." Seeing that the young man was about to come to the door of Xichi Courtyard, Li Chengqian put away the distracting thoughts in his heart and walked towards the young man.
"Grass people Xue Li, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." Facing the gorgeously dressed Li Chengqian, the tall and thin boy had a hint of restraint in his inferiority.
Looking at the restrained young man in front of him, Li Chengqian forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said slowly: "Xue Li, Xue Rengui, born in the ninth year of Sui Daye, a member of the Xue clan in Hedong, grandfather Xue Yan, a doctor in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, father Xue Rail, and a ...... of Zanzhi in Xiangcheng County of the Sui Dynasty. Am I right? ”
At this time, not only Xue Li, but even Wang Chengwu was a little dumbfounded, where did His Highness get these materials? The soldiers sent to Longmen County to investigate for nearly half a month did not have such detailed information.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, you ......." Xue Li was already shocked and couldn't say everything, he was originally brought out of the village by the soldiers, saying that he was summoned by the prince, which made him a little surprised, and at this time, he was even more dead, thinking that Li Chengqian wanted to track down the old things and ask him for the crime.
The famous generals of the Tang Dynasty who can be as famous as Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao in the future are colorless, and Li Chengqian's bad taste is extremely satisfied, and he asked after a while: "Do you want to join the army?" ”
"In the army?" Xue Li had long had no expectations for his own life, but he was unprepared for Li Chengqian's loss of such a question, which made him unable to react for a long time.
Thinking of Xue Li wearing a white robe in the future, 'Three Arrows to Set the Heavenly Mountain' and 'Bravely Break Goguryeo', Li Chengqian couldn't help but say with a wave of enthusiasm in his tone: "When a man is alive, he should draw a halberd in his hand, bend a bow at his waist, and capture the flag on the battlefield, create immortal feats, and comfort the spirit of the ancestors in the sky, does Brother Rengui think so?" ”
The Guanzhong men in the land of Sanqin have been proud since ancient times, Xue Rengui's father died early, and his family was in the middle of the road, and he has always been worried about restoring the glory of his ancestors, how can he stand Li Chengqian's bewitchment at this time, his eyes are bloodshot, and the boss with a pair of eyes is staring, and he said excitedly: "So, so, can you really be in the army?" ”
It's done, it's the first one. The corners of Li Chengqian's mouth were slightly raised, and he couldn't help but drink softly in his heart.
Since beating him Lao Tzu and not letting him continue to toss, Li Chengqian, who is extremely bored, has given birth to new tricks, not tossing tools, but tossing famous generals.
Xue Rengui, Xi Junmai, Pei Xingjian and other famous generals must all be collected, and when the time comes, they will build their own escort team into a concentration camp for famous generals.
Thinking that his men are full of brave and good fighters, he turned the old rugby team on his back. Li Chengqian would wake up laughing when he dreamed, and Chunxiao was always startled, thinking that he had committed hysteria.
But now is not the time for hysteria, so I have to arrange the Xue Rengui in front of me.
"I invited Brother Rengui out of the countryside, naturally I want my brother to join our army." In order to win over the future generals, Li Chengqian also fought hard, and did not hesitate to call Xue Rengui his brother with the respect of the prince.
"Rengui deserves to be called so by the prince, however, His Royal Highness the prince sees a certain person, and a certain person is naturally willing to join the army." Xue Rengui is not a fool, at this time, Li Chengqian exalted him and asked him to join the army, if he dared to say half a word, I am afraid that the consequences will be unpredictable.
But this is also what Xue Rengui thinks a little more, you must know that Li Chengqian has been beaten since he arrived in Datang, no matter what the people around him have done, at most they will be sprayed, and they will not even be beaten.
"In this case, Brother Rengui will first report to the army with Lao Wang, and enter my six rates, and when the time is ripe in the future, Cheng Qian will recommend talents to his father." Li Chengqian's heart was about to explode now, and he tried his best to hide the joy on his face, and said to Xue Rengui calmly.
"Oh, so-and-so." Since he decided to join the army, Xue Rengui no longer performed the civilian salute, and after a military salute directly, he left behind Wang Chengwu, who had been prepared a long time ago.
"Your Highness, is this what you mean by the future famous general? It doesn't look good. Chunxiao had been by Li Chengqian's side, watching the whole process of the matter, and when Xue Rengui left, he pouted and said.
"Oh? You can see that? ”
"Of course, Your Highness, look at his appearance, when the wind blows, he walks and sways, and he can't stand steadily, how can he be a famous general?" Li Chengqian has a peaceful temperament and is not arrogant to the people around him, so Chunxiao and other people who have been in contact with him for a long time generally have something to say.
Even if there are one or two excessive sentences, it doesn't matter, who let Li Chengqian come from the next generation and don't care about these.
"You're wrong, he's hungry, it's not that he can't stand on his feet." Regarding Chunxiao's complaints, Li Chengqian replied with a smile, it is recorded in the history books that Xue Rengui had never eaten enough before joining the army, and he often walked hungry and swayed.
"The servant doesn't believe it, he came with the forbidden army, how can he not have enough to eat, Brother Wang, they won't abuse him."
"I don't believe you can prepare more food tomorrow for him to eat. Remember, prepare 20 servings. "Actually, Li Chengqian didn't believe that Xue Rengui could eat a meal for twenty people, but since the book said so, it would be better to believe it.
"20 servings? Isn't that a bucket of rice? How is it possible for a person to eat so much? Won't your stomach burst? The little girl of Chunxiao covered her mouth lightly and said in surprise, wondering in her heart whether His Highness wanted to support this young man who walked straight.
