Chapter 244: The old man gives the whip

That night, Qin Feng asked Li Shimin to find him, and as soon as they met, Li Shimin gave Qin Feng a box, and said extremely obscenely: "For the sake of your kid for the Tang Dynasty, I decided to give you the same good baby?" ā€

"What good baby?" Qin Feng asked curiously. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Li Shimin said seriously: "Tiger whip! ā€

One sentence almost made Qin Feng laugh and get angry, this is an old and disrespectful old man! I don't know the real situation, I actually sent this kind of thing rashly, once I ate it, Changle couldn't let him be half dead?

He hugged his stomach and squatted on the ground, his body shaking incessantly, and he couldn't get up with a smile.

Li Shimin's face had nothing to do with it, and he gave Qin Feng a violent shudder on the spot, and shouted: "Bastard boy, what kind of nerves!" This is the White Tiger's, don't regret it. ā€

"Yes, why not." The tiger thing has that kind of effect, and it has extremely high medicinal value, don't be in vain.

"Father-in-law, it would be fun if this thing was given to the Heavenly Pillar King of Tuyuhun." Qin Feng stood up with a smile in his face, his face shaking as if he had twitched.

"How's that guy?" Li Shimin's face twitched, Qin Feng's kick kicked everyone away, and it hurt to look at it if it was a man.

"Hey, hey!" Qin Feng attached his ear to Li Shimin and told him what he had done in the Imperial Medical Department.

Swish!

Li Shimin's face was purple, this was not angry, but suffocated.

He wanted to laugh, but because of his identity, he forced himself not to laugh, and it turned out to be like this.

Qin Feng had supreme respect in his heart, he could endure it to this extent, worthy of his father-in-law, Emperor Li Shimin, when he saw him stretching out his hand to call him, he fled with a bone.

In the distance, Qin Feng only heard Li Shimin laughing loudly. He pursed his lips and whispered, "Hypocrisy! ā€

Early the next morning, Qin Feng went to the Imperial Doctor's Office to visit Achilles.

I learned about the situation from Yue Lun and was also relieved. As long as there is no danger to his life, everything is easy to say, he was very curious about the origin of Achilles, and seeing that he was in good spirits, he chatted with him.

With this chat, Qin Feng suddenly sensed a new world.

It turned out that Achilles came from the far west Byzantine Empire, which was a large country in the west that split off from Rome from the Eastern Roman Empire. They have preserved the traditions of ancient Rome. Take pleasure in fighting beasts. Achilles was a slave in the Roman gladiatorial arena, pleasing the Byzantine aristocracy by fighting fierce beasts such as lions, tigers, bears, and leopards.

However, with the rise of the Arab Empire, many parts of the Byzantine Empire were invaded, and slaves had to use the extremely brave gladiatorial arena to fight. It was only when the slaves hated the Byzantines that the fools were willing to die for them, so they fled together.

Achilles was discovered as a child and was taken to Byzantium, where he grew up not knowing the way home, but knowing that his home was in the east where the sun rose. Therefore, when he fled, he went all the way east, through Arabia and to the Western Regions.

The hard life in the Colosseum honed Achilles' iron will and incomparably tenacious survival ability, and he survived after walking so many distances.

Until the vicinity of Tuyuhun, he and the caravan encountered horse thieves.

The people of the caravan were almost all dead, and Achilles was outnumbered and on the verge of death. At this time, the King of Tianzhu led his troops to save him in disguise.

The king of Tianzhu saw that Achilles was brave and strong, so he was deceived and frightened him, and Achilles stayed in Tuyuhun and became a slave of the king of Tianzhu

Qin Feng listened to the reason and looked at Achilles sympathetically, this guy was abducted to Byzantium at the age of five, and then trained to be with wild beasts day and night. He never thinks, and he never takes the initiative to do anything, the eldest is alone, but his IQ is no different from that of a child. for he remembered that his home was in the east, where the sun rose, and he went east; Because he was hungry, the King of Tianzhu could give him enough food every day, so he was a slave to the King of Tianzhu in a down-to-earth manner......

Really......

Qin Feng didn't know what words to use to describe it.

However, hearing this, Qin Feng also understood why the Heavenly Pillar King was so confident that he could defeat Achilles.

Achilles' martial arts come from fighting with wild beasts, and there is no room for any move at all, either the enemy dies or dies. He regards the Tianzhu King as his master, so naturally he will not kill the Tianzhu King. If the two want to compete, Achilles's skills are half played, and he is still tied to his hands and feet, so it is a matter of course to lose to the Tianzhu King.

Achilles already knew that he had let the Heavenly Pillar King give it to the seemingly unstrong but extremely brave young general in front of him. He had no objections to this, and his growth was different, rising from the smallest place, starting to make a name for himself in the small local Colosseum, and finally selling it to the largest nobles of Byzantium to enter the famous Colosseum.

In Byzantium, there was a custom that gladiators were not fed in order to keep them hungry, and they could only enjoy the food after they had knocked down and killed their opponents in the Colosseum. Therefore, in the eyes of the black slaves, King Tianzhu gave him a full meal, which was already the greatest gift, so he also tried his best to serve King Tianzhu.

Now there is another master, who did not hesitate to take risks, rescued him from the tiger's mouth, and arranged for a doctor to treat him carefully. Such treatment was something he had never enjoyed before, and he cherished it very much.

"Achilles, you take care of your wounds, and when you are well, you will go to my army to be a general." Qin Feng admired Achilles' bravery and courage, and did not regard him as a slave, this guy tore the tiger and leopard alive, he was simply a humanoid beast, and it would be fun to put him in the army.

Qin Feng confessed, asked him to fully cooperate with the doctor's treatment, and left the Imperial Medical Department.

This returned to the Horse Mansion, and Changle came up and said, "Lang Jun, mother-in-law asked us to get together, do you want to bring a gift?" ā€

Qin Feng said with a smile: "No, no, what gifts do you bring when you go to your mother's house for dinner this time?" Gift-giving is rusty, just open your mouth. ā€

Changle smiled slightly, handed a red booklet in his hand to Qin Fengdao: "Here is the gift sent to the Chinese Wu today. Lang Jun glanced at it. ā€

Qin Feng's status is different from the past, he is a general of Huben, and he actually exercises the power of a general, plus he is the eldest princess and a concubine, which is indispensable for this kind of etiquette during the New Year's holidays, and he took over the red booklet.

Turning the first page, it turned out to be a New Year's gift from His Majesty Li Shimin, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty: a complete white tiger skin, a pair of jade Ruyi, pearl agate, various treasures and fruits and other valuables, but compared with the gifts after, these are not anything at all, Qin Feng, the old man, is really generous enough, and even sent 5,000 books, Qin Feng was suddenly moved, you must know that before the improvement of papermaking, when movable type printing had not yet appeared, books were more expensive than gold. Why? If you want to read, you have to have a book to read. Why is there a steady stream of talents in the family, because they control the world's books and education, Li Shimin sent 5,000 books at one time, which is definitely an invisible treasure!

After the opening of the library of Zhonghua Building, there are a large number of Hanmen scholars copying books in it every day, although each book has to be copied in two copies, but the Hanmen scholars are still tireless, full of vigor in copying and writing, the weather is cold, some people are shivering in the ice and snow in single clothes, but the high-spirited and agitated Zheng Zheng iron bones dare not be humiliated. Qin Feng has been there a few times, and he has also seen the scholars of the Han Sect flipping through the books, and every time they turn the page, they are with a pious spirit, careful for fear of being damaged. Qin Feng knew how important books were to ordinary people, how rare and precious, and through these students, he saw that a great empire was coming. Since then, Qin Feng asked Zheng Liwan to prepare a stove and hot broth for the scribe regardless of gains and losses, and it is precisely because of Qin Feng's dedication that Zhonghua Building has become a paradise praised by people.

A few years ago, Qin Feng took Kong Yingda to a trip, when Kong Yingda saw a group of ragged Han scholars reading and copying books in the ice and snow, he was deeply shocked by the invisible momentum, at that moment, he seemed to see the scene of the ancestor teaching his disciples, and from that day on, every few days, he took time to teach, explain, and solve doubts. Also because of Kong Yingda's leading role, so that more talented and conscientious literati volunteered to go to the Zhonghua Building to teach, so down, the reputation of the Zhonghua Building is also like a snowball bigger and bigger, that is, Li Shimin, who is deep in the palace, is also alarmed, when he heard that many ministers of the DPRK and China took advantage of the vacation to go to the Zhonghua Building to teach for free, he was moved, and personally inscribed the three words "Zhonghua Building", so that the craftsman made a door plaque and hung it on the main entrance.

"Lang Jun, Lang Jun!" Changle saw that Qin Feng was stunned for a while, and couldn't help but push him.

Qin Feng woke up like a dream, met Changle's worried beautiful eyes, gently flicked the snowflakes on her hair, and said with a smile: "I was thinking, these five thousand books should play a greater role in them. Madam, I would like to pick out a part of it and give it to Zhonghua Building, so that people who love and understand books in the world can broaden their horizons. Wait for them to make a copy and ask for it back. What do you think? ā€

Changle looked at his lover in shock and pride, at this moment he felt that Qin Feng was unprecedentedly tall, and said excitedly: "Lang Jun has the world in his mind, how can he not obey the concubine?" The meaning of the existence of books is to educate the people, and those who are willing to copy books to learn must be students who love to learn, and give them such an opportunity. It is equivalent to creating a diligent and studious talent for my Datang. ā€

"That's what I thought too! To be honest, books don't mean much to people like us, because we don't need to work hard to enjoy glory that no one else can have. For Hanshi, a casual book is priceless. These books can only reflect the value of existence in them, and it is too wasteful to hide them at home. ā€

After the discussion, Qin Feng turned to the second page, which was a gift from Li Chengqian, "Sun Tzu", "Wu Zi", "Sima Fa", "Liutao", "Wei Yizi", "Three Strategies" and other ancient military books.

Seeing this, Qin Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly: "My father-in-law and my eldest brother really have a good heart, and they have such a tacit understanding to send something." Is it possible for me to become a civil official? ā€

Changle also smiled.

The two continued to flip down, some names were familiar and some were unfamiliar, but they all had a few faces.

"Lang Jun, as an official of the same dynasty, they specially sent a New Year's gift, which can be regarded as a piece of heart, and we should also give a gift in return." Changle knew that Qin Feng didn't attach much importance to this understanding, so he specially prompted.

Qin Feng nodded and said, "Let Xiong Ye handle this matter, and send it over as a return gift of the same value according to the gift list." ā€

Changle continued: "Since you want to return the gift, just give it to a few ministers and generals as well." As officials in the same dynasty, there may be times when they help each other. ā€

Qin Feng was a little big-headed, and said, "Then it's up to Madame, anyway, there is no shortage of these belongings in the house." Qin Feng's heart was very dark, and he also kept an eye on it, the treasures dug up from the ground, he had secretly swallowed eight large boxes of rare treasures, so he was not worried about not finding a suitable gift to give back.
