His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is soliciting himself. Yao Chong knew the meaning of Li Hong's words, but he didn't immediately agree. It's not that he doesn't feel that Li Hong's qualifications are not enough to recruit him and not enough for him to serve, but he is doubting his ability. Before he met Li Hong, he was very sure of his ability, and felt that he could break out of the world, but when he met Li Hong, after confirming that the legends about Li Hong in the market were true, he retreated a little, he was younger than him, his talent was higher than him, and His Royal Highness the Prince, who was stronger than him, has now achieved such an achievement, and he is a few years older than His Royal Highness the Prince, how can he compare with him? If you can't compare to him, how can you work for him and do something big by his side?

Thinking like this in his heart, Yao Chong denied himself more and more, and he didn't dare to agree to Li Hong.

Yao Di on the side saw what his brother was thinking, and secretly worried about Yao Chong.

Yao Di, who was a little anxious, couldn't help but whisper, "Big brother, the prince is asking you." ”

"This, His Royal Highness the Prince, can you let me think about it?" Yao Chong opened his mouth and said, this is the best excuse he can think of now, but he knows that such a excuse is not the way, because his face is still a little ugly.

"Today, the wealthy control the door to the advancement of officials, the powerful control the road to the promotion of officials, there are few scholars and children of poor families in the world who enter the court as officials, and there are even fewer people in high positions." Li Hong said with emotion, "So Lone Cai invented movable type printing in another way, which reduced the price of books, so that children from poor families can have books to read, and they also have the door to advance their careers." However, this road is very difficult, and it cannot be completed alone, and it needs everyone's strength to do it. There is no shortage of talented people around me, and there is no shortage of small talents, but there are too many things to do, and these people are still not enough. Yao Yuanchong, if you feel that you are still a little talented and want to do something big, come to Lone, if you don't believe in yourself and feel that you can't do anything big, don't come, Lone doesn't need someone who doesn't even believe in you. ”

"By the way, if you come to find Gu, change your name, Yao Yuanchong shouted unpleasantly, call Yao Chong!" Li Hong said.

Yao Chong heard Li Hong's words and fell into deep thought.

Indeed, what Li Hong said is true, the wealthy control the door to the advancement of officials, and the powerful control the road to the promotion of officials. This is the current situation of Datang's officialdom, and if you want to let talented people from poor families enter the official career and work for Datang, you really need to go a long way.

Yao Chong felt that this road was very difficult, but as long as the prince was willing, he was willing to accompany the prince to the end.

Therefore, after pondering for a while, he spoke, "Your Highness's words Yao Chong has a few times, and when you visit Luoyang, the minister will go to Chang'an to find His Highness." ”

Yao Chong still agreed to Li Hong, because Li Hong's words made Yao Chong regain his confidence. What else can you expect from a person who doesn't even believe in himself? Obviously, he Yao Chong is not such a person, he wants to make a big career.

"Great, big brother, so we can go to Luoyang with His Royal Highness the Prince?" Yao Di said excitedly.

Yao Chong's face darkened, and he apologized to Li Hong, "Your Highness, as for the time to go to Luoyang, Yao Chong has not yet decided, so he is not ready to go with His Highness." ”

"Big brother, you ——!" Yao Di was a little unhappy, thinking that she couldn't go to Luoyang with Li Hong, she felt very lost, empty feeling, she didn't know why she felt like this, could it be because the prince saved him twice today?

"Little sister, don't say more, it's not early, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs to rest, let's go, don't bother him anymore." Yao Chong was afraid that his sister would have another incident, so he hurriedly got up and said goodbye to Li Hong.

Outside the account, the sky was already dark, and it was about thirty miles away from the county seat, and unless you found someone nearby to stay, you would have to walk for several hours to return to the city. Li Hong looked at the sky outside and said to Yao Chong, "You see it's getting late, it's too dangerous for your brothers and sisters to go home in the middle of the night, and you don't have to worry about it, stay here tonight, and send someone to send you home tomorrow." ”

"Great, thank you, Your Highness the Prince!" Yao Chong was about to refuse, but Yao Di preemptively said.

Yao Chong's face was a little ugly, but he didn't dare to show it in front of Li Hong, so he could only say to Li Hong, "Then thank you Your Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Li Hong was secretly amused, the current Yao Chong is still very young, and he is still too strong. If it takes a few more years and goes through a few more ups and downs in officialdom, it will probably be a little more mature by then, right?

The reason why Li Hong is sure that Yao Chong will mature and stabilize after experiencing several ups and downs in officialdom is because he knows that Yao Chong was honored and favored in his later years, and he is not like ordinary celebrities who do not die well.

At that time, Yao Chong did not have a residence in Chang'an City, lived in the Gangji Temple, and was bedridden due to malaria. Tang Xuanzong sent dozens of envoys every day to visit the sick, and whenever he encountered a major military matter, he ordered the Huangmen Supervisor Yuan Qianyao to ask for his opinion. Later, Tang Xuanzong adopted Yuan Qianyao's suggestion, ordered Yao Chong to move into the Sifang Pavilion, and allowed his family to serve the sick. Yao Chong believed that the Sifang Pavilion had official documents, not a place where patients lived, so he tried his best to refuse. Tang Xuanzong said, "The establishment of the Sifang Pavilion is to serve the officials, and I arranged for you to live in it for the sake of the country." If possible, I would like to let you live in the palace, don't shirk!"

Although Yao Chong is a generation of virtuous ministers, he has no way to teach his children. His sons Yao Yi and Yao Yi made friends with guests, recruited power and bribes, and were criticized by public opinion. Zhao Xu, the main secretary of the Chinese book, accepted bribes from Hu Ren, and was condemned to death by Tang Xuanzong because the matter was exposed, and Yao Chong also tried his best to rescue him. Xuanzong was very displeased with this, and when he pardoned the prisoners in the capital, he deliberately noted in the edict that Zhao Zhi would be exiled to Lingnan. Yao Chong was so worried about this that he resigned several times and recommended Song Jing, the governor of Guangzhou, to succeed him as prime minister. Soon, Yao Chong was removed from the post of prime minister and reappointed as the third secretary of Kaifu Yitong. Although Tang Xuanzong dismissed Yao Chong as prime minister, he still respected him very much, let him go to the court once on five days, and consulted him specifically when he encountered major political affairs. In 720 (the eighth year of Kaiyuan), Tang Xuanzong named Yao Chong as the crown prince Shaobao, but he did not accept it due to illness. Yao Chong died of illness in the ninth year of Kaiyuan at the age of seventy-two, and was posthumously presented to the Governor of Yangzhou, nicknamed the literature. In 729 (the seventeenth year of Kaiyuan), Tang Xuanzong posthumously presented Yao Chong as the crown prince.

Therefore, Li Hong believes that Yao Chong is a person who knows how to change himself and how to adapt to officialdom.

At this time, Chen Gong walked in and reported to Li Hong that he had come back from hunting a lot of prey with the guards and had already roasted outside.

Li Hong nodded slightly, very satisfied with Chen Gong's efficiency.

"Your Highness, we found two tiger cubs while hunting nearby, I wonder if they are the cubs of the tiger you shot and killed?" Chen Gong said, "Please take a look at Your Highness." ”

After speaking, Chen Gong asked the guards around him to hug the two tiger cubs in front of Li Hong.

"So coincidentally?" Li Hong was also a little surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward to check the tiger cub in the guard's arms, and found that it was the size of the tiger cub he took out of the tiger's den, and it was obviously the cub of the tiger he shot to death. When Li Hong found that there was only one cub left in the tiger's den just now, he knew that the tigress had hidden the other cubs, but he didn't look for it because he didn't want to be satisfied, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Chen Gong and them after all.

"Yes, it's the cub of this tigress." Li Hong laughed and said, "It's really hard to find a place to step on iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!" Chen Gong, put them together with the cubs brought by Lone, and Lone wants to raise them and raise three tiger cubs. ”

"No!" Chen Gong was also very excited, and left in a hurry after receiving the order.

When Chen Gong left, Yao Di stopped talking.

"Yao Di, what do you want to say?" Li Hong was in a happy mood, so he asked.

"Your Highness, can you, can you give me a cub?" Yao Di asked cautiously.

When Yao Chong heard his sister's words, he couldn't help himself with a trembling liver, daring to ask His Royal Highness the Prince for a tiger cub, and it was something that the prince liked, and his sister's courage was too big, right?

"Your Royal Highness, the younger sister is young and ignorant, and she doesn't know how to count..."Yao Chong hurriedly apologized to Li Hong for Yao Di, but when his words were normal, he was stopped by Li Hong, "Yao Chong, it's okay, I don't want the kind of person you think." Yao Di, the cub can be sent to you, but I'm afraid that you won't be able to support it, or be hurt by it. Unlike cats, rabbits, dogs, etc., tiger cubs are carnivores and are very aggressive. ”

"I know that, but I'm sure I'll take care of it." Yao Di said stubbornly, "I just like its cute appearance, it's so cute!" ”

Li Hong smiled.

Dare to say that the tiger is so cute, Yao Di is still the first person.

But now the tiger cub he found is indeed cute and cute.

"Your Highness, can you give me one?" Yao Di asked expectantly.

"Okay, I'll give you one, and when you leave tomorrow morning, I'll ask Chen Gong to give you one." Li Hong said, "Mother." ”

"Uh-" Yao Di was a little overwhelmed, "Thank you, Your Highness the Prince." ”

"Chen Gong, you send someone to build two more tents for the two of them." Li Hong said to Chen Gong.

Chen Gong took the order and waited for Yao Chong and Yao Di to leave.

"Your Highness, why do you value Yao Chong so much?" I don't know when, Xue Rengui stood beside Li Hong and asked, he wondered why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would love Yao Di so much and tolerate Yao Chong so much.

"Xue Li, Lone told you that Lone understands the face-to-face technique, and can see Yao Chong's future achievements, will you believe it?" Li Hong asked rhetorically.

Xue Rengui was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Li Hong to answer like this, and only said in a half-loud voice, "The last general will believe." ”

"That's right." Li Hongdao, "If you believe it, you will know that Lone will not let go of a talented person." ”

Li Hong's words were a pun, and Xue Rengui stirred up a ripple in his heart after hearing it.

……

Dinner was plentiful.

There's wine, there's meat, there's fruit.

The wine is the wine that you bring with you, the meat is the prey, and the fruit is picked from the nearby mountains and forests.

Everyone was very satisfied with this meal, especially Yao Di, who was used to eating exquisite meals on weekdays, but today she suddenly ate this kind of rough barbecue, and she still ate it with her hands, and the meal was very wild, which made her both excited and happy.

And after this meal, Yao Di felt even better about Li Hong.

The little girl is not young, and she has reached Sichun's age. Now that there is a man she admires, who is strong in martial arts, has huge power, and knows how to pamper him, has appeared in her field of vision, how can she not be tempted?

People say that men and women in love are fools, only sensual and not rational.

The current Yao Di is like this, he peeks at Li Hong like a nymphomaniac, and his inner thoughts are just to be with Li Hong, and he simply forgets the identity gap between them, as well as many political factors.

Li Hong turned a blind eye to Yao Di's gaze, he just ate attentively, and he enjoyed the satisfaction that food brought him.

But Xue Rengui and Yao Chong, who were sitting next to Li Hong, couldn't stand it, one was the general next to Li Hong, who was delicate, he found Yao Di's thoughts, and couldn't help but worry about His Royal Highness the Prince, don't do anything ridiculous here tonight, otherwise when you arrive in Luoyang, it will be troublesome if you are impeached by the imperial history. Yao Chong is Yao Di's brother, seeing that his sister is so idiotic that he dares to have a crush on the prince, he is afraid and angry, what kind of person is the prince, is it something that you little girl dares to worry about?

Therefore, although the dinner was very rich, except for Li Hong, the rest of the people ate very uncomfortable.

Who called Yao Di such a nymphomaniac by the side.

After eating, Li Hong began to feed the tiger cubs, and the milk was squeezed from the doe that Xue Rengui sent someone to catch.

Yao Di also knelt beside Li Hong to serve him, poured a small jar of dew milk into a bowl and handed it to Li Hong. There are three tiger cubs in front of Li Hong, all of whom are very cute. Because the three little ones were full of food and slept warmly, they didn't apply because of the death of the tigress at all, and when they lay in Li Hong's arms, they regarded Li Hong as their mother.

Three tiger cubs, two females and one male.

Li Hong said that he wanted to give Yao Di a female tiger cub, so he wanted Yao Di to choose one of the two tiger cubs.

Yao Di stared at the tiger cub in front of her and hesitated, because the two tiger cubs were exactly the same, so similar, she didn't know which one to choose.

Li Hong didn't force her, just waited for her to choose quietly, Yao Di's seriousness proved her love for tiger cubs, this is a good thing, why did Li Hong force her?

In the middle of the sound, Yao Di finally chose one of the weaker tiger cubs.

Li Hong asked, "This tiger cub is relatively weak and difficult to feed, why did you choose it?" ”

"It's challenging because it's hard to feed!" Yao Di replied.

Li Hong smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's more than that, right?" ”

Guo Xiang said, "I still can't hide it from Your Highness." Because His Highness is very busy every day, he has little time to take care of the tiger cubs, and they are left to his subordinates to take care of them, and they may not take care of them like His Highness, so the weak tiger cubs are easy to die. I'm different, I have time to serve it every day, so it's easier for me to choose a weak tiger cub than for His Highness to raise it. ”

"I didn't expect you to be so caring!" Li Hong said with a smile.

"Uh-" Yao Di didn't know what to say, just blushed vigorously, and lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Li Hong again. It's not that she's caring, it's that she's only caring for the people she likes. But will she tell him this?

"Let's go, let's go out for a walk, the weather is good outside, we can look at the stars." After Li Hong finished feeding the tiger cubs, he said to Yao Di.

Yao Di nodded slightly, and followed Li Hong out of the big tent.

Li Hong and Yao Di walked forward, Chen Gong and twenty guards followed behind them from a distance, and the group slowly walked out of the camp.

At the gates of the two tents not far away, there were two people watching this scene, they were Xue Rengui and Yao Chong. Xue Rengui has always wondered why the prince is so good to Yao Chong and loves Yao Di so much, it is said that with Yao Chong and Yao Di's family background, it has not yet reached the point where the prince wants to envelop them! Moreover, Yao Chong did not show his extraordinary talent, and Xue Rengui couldn't figure out why the prince was so optimistic about Yao Chong.

Yao Chong has always been worried that his sister will cause trouble for himself and his family, because it is the prince who is with her, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty. But he didn't know how to dissuade his sister, because his sister was with the prince, and he was embarrassed to talk about his sister in front of the prince.

So he was worried...

The two saw Li Hong, Yao Di, Chen Gong and his party disappearing at the gate of the camp, and when they turned around, they found each other and smiled at each other.

"Yao Langjun, why don't you come and sit in General Ben's tent?" Xue Rengui said.

Yao Chong hesitated, but still didn't refuse Xue Rengui, "Okay, then disturb General Xue." ”

"Where's the word, please!" Xue Rengui said politely.

Yao Chong walked out of his big tent and walked into Xue Rengui's big tent next to him.

……

In the woods at night, silkworms are chirping, frogs are singing, the air is fresh, and the scenery is very beautiful.

Li Hong and Yao Di came to a rock and sat down, staring at the night ahead and being silent.

Halfway through, Yao Di suddenly spoke, "Your Highness, are you thinking about something?" ”。

Li Hong was silent for a moment before replying, "Yes! ”

"Are you thinking about your sweetheart?" Yao Di continued to ask.

Li Hong was surprised, "How do you know?" ”

Yao Di felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and Li Hong's answer stung her, but she didn't show it on her face, but continued to ask, "Your Highness likes her very much, right?" ”

"Yes. Lone likes her very much. Li Hong said, Zhou Juan's shadow came to his heart, the first time they met, then they got acquainted, then they fell in love, and then they knew each other, he and Zhou Juan didn't know each other for a long time, but they experienced a lot.

Suddenly, Li Hong thought of a song from his previous life, called "The Night I Miss You": I miss your night, I hope you can be by my side, I don't know if you can change for me in your heart. Oh! I miss you night, please let me love you again, let love return to the original point.

Before, when he first crossed over to the Tang Dynasty, he didn't want to think of his previous life at all, except for the knowledge of history he wanted to know, because he didn't dare to face his current self, because he was afraid of death, and he was afraid that he would still be killed and die if he crossed over to Li Hong.

Now, he has changed a lot of things, and he has also changed his destiny, and he dares to face the past and the present, because he is not afraid, he is not afraid of anything, because he can change.

"Your Highness, can you tell me how you feel now?" Yao Di asked suddenly, she wanted to know what the prince was thinking at this moment.

Li Hong sighed and said, "The most powerless thing for a man is that at the most incapable age, he meets the girl who wants to take care of him for the rest of his life." Therefore, I only hope that men and women who have true love in the world and cannot be together must work hard. ”

"Uh-" Yao Di didn't understand Li Hong at all.
