Chapter 216: The Prince's Dream
The school is near a small river, but it has now become an open-air swimming pool. At first, except for the soldiers, the scholars were not willing to come here to bathe. Bathing bare-chested in the open air is simply humiliating and corrupting the saint's style. What's more, it's still this kind of group of people, taking a bath together, it's simply shameless, such an unseemly thing, you can't do it anyway.
It's a pity, this is the beginning of summer, the weather is already a little hot, plus every day training, a stinky sweat, covered in dust, no bath, who can stand it. Besides, even if you can stand it, it will ruin others. That would be even more humiliating.
There is no way, these people can only be like a little girl who goes to the men's bathhouse to take a bath. Cautiously, twisting and pinching, he didn't even dare to take off his clothes and pants, so he went to the river to wash casually. After washing, it was as if he had done something unseemly, wearing wet clothes and running away. Then I found a place where there was no one around, secretly changed my clothes, and then, by the small river in the past, I washed my clothes.
For this reason, let those soldiers endure not laughing, and endure until their stomachs hurt.
However, everything is difficult at the beginning, and many things, with the first time, are simple. Slowly, these scholars were no longer shy, and in the end, they were even more bold to strip naked and soak in the river. In their words, it's comfortable. Even Li Ke and Li Chengqian are no exception.
"Third brother, Brother Huaiyu, it's still comfortable to bathe in this small river. Compared to the big wooden barrel in the palace, it is much more comfortable. It's a pity that I'm going to go back soon, back to Chang'an City, but I don't have such a pleasure anymore."
Li Chengqian soaked his entire body in the river water. Just showed his head, looked up at the sky in the distance, and said, his tone was full of a sense of comfort and reluctance.
In fact, he didn't have any friendship with him before, whether it was He Li Ke or Qin Huaiyu. After encountering it, the most it is to say hello is at most. Actually, not only Qin Huaiyu, but also Li Ke. He's the same as everyone else. I have nothing to say, and I always put on a stinky face.
It's just that after coming to this craftsman village, his temperament seems to have become much more cheerful. And apart from Li Ke and Qin Huaiyu, he couldn't find anyone else to talk to. Therefore, during this period of time, Ji Shang has stayed with Li Ke and Qin Huaiyu.
"Hehe, looking at your tone, big brother, it seems that you are very reluctant to leave here. But also, here, although he is cleaned up by the fourth uncle every day. I'm tired and falling apart, and the conditions are very difficult, but other than that, there are no worries. I have a solid heart. ”
Looking at the so-called eldest brother in front of him, Li Ke's mood became very complicated. All along, he was a little jealous of this prince, who was slightly older than him. Mediocrity and incompetence, eccentric temper. The heart is arrogant, just like that. was able to become the crown prince, to be honest, he thought it was unfair and unwilling.
However, after getting along for a period of time, he found that Li Chengqian was not as useless as he thought, not to mention anything else, just because he suffered from a leg disease, he was able to insist on completing training with them, which was not something ordinary people could do. He had to endure much more than all the people present.
What's more, this eldest brother of the crown prince is not as difficult to get along with as he thinks. On the contrary, Li Ke found that Li Chengqian was quite easy to get along with. At least, compared to Li Tai, the king of Yue, and Li Youlai, the king of Yan, Li Ke is more willing to get along with people like Li Chengqian, and even be real brothers.
It's a pity that he was born in the royal family and is also a prince, and his brothers are often enemies, not to mention that the other party is still the prince.
"By the way, third brother, speaking of the fourth uncle, did you already know, I said that you are really not kind, and you didn't tell me earlier. As a result, I was thrown directly into the mud by the fourth uncle that day, and I was embarrassed. Moreover, he was the first to be confined, and that confinement was terrifying."
Hearing Li Ke mention Li Feng, Li Chengqian immediately said depressedly. He knew that Li Ke must have known about this fourth uncle for a long time, otherwise, how could he be so well-behaved.
"Hehe, I said big brother, you can't blame me for this. Actually, not only I know, but my father and queen mother all know, and Brother Huaiyu, he also came to drink the wedding wine of the fourth uncle and four aunts. And the seventeenth sister and her son-in-law came to the fourth uncle's house and lived for a while. ”
As soon as Li Ke heard Li Chengqian's words, he was speechless, this prince simply didn't care about anything, and he was really convinced.
"Hehe, where would I care about this. If I had known that the fourth uncle was here, I would have come a long time ago, you don't know, since I was a child, the person I admired the most was the fourth uncle. When I was a child, I lived with my grandmother for a while, and she liked to tell me the story of my fourth uncle the most, and I liked to listen to it the most. I always think that one day, I can gallop on the battlefield like the fourth uncle and make all the enemies fearful, how good it would be......"
As he spoke, Li Chengqian showed a look of infinite longing and yearning. It made Li Ke and Qin Huaiyu's faces strange for a while. They could see that the prince's expression could not be faked. However, he, a prince, actually wants to gallop on the battlefield, what kind of thing is this.
However, Li Ke immediately looked thoughtful and somewhat understood. No wonder this prince is so useless, it turns out that the roots of the family are not here. Otherwise, he wouldn't even know that Li Feng appeared and Li You was broken leg. Of course, this is Li Feng's matter, and the emperor deliberately kept it secret, but the most important thing is that the prince does not have this heart.
Thinking of this, Li Ke was immediately pleasantly surprised. If that's the case, then the strategy will have to change and things will be less difficult.
"Well, that's right, the fourth uncle is a great talent. For example, the military training we have been conducting recently. It seemed mundane and boring, but I found that things were not so simple. After this short period of training, although he did not carry out those combat training, he had no combat experience at all. However, if you want to talk about style, when it comes to morale, I dare say that it is no worse than the regular army. And those forbidden soldiers exuded a formidable momentum. ”
"And marching to war, although not talented. However, it is also a little bit that the momentum of the army plays a crucial role. The momentum is like a rainbow, and it can often make the enemy intimidating. If you are afraid in your heart, it will be difficult to give full play to your combat power. Moreover, once something happens, it often collapses. Brother Huaiyu is a real expert in this regard, I don't know what to think."
As he spoke, Li Ke immediately talked about this military training. Let's be honest. He didn't expect that after such a simple and short training, he would be able to have such a surprising effect.
"The King of Shu is right, the instructor's ability is really extraordinary. In the past, I only heard that the instructor's force was shocking, but as I got along with the instructor. It was discovered that he was much more than that. The song that the instructor taught us yesterday should still be remembered by the prince and the king of Shu. ”
Hearing Li Ke ask about himself, Qin Huaiyu immediately said with emotion. However, he did not directly say things such as military training queues, but mentioned another matter.
"How can you not remember, as soon as this song is sung, it immediately makes people feel like their blood is boiling, and they can't wait to rush to the battlefield immediately. Especially yesterday. When we sang together, the loud singing voice was mixed with unparalleled momentum, as if it was about to break through the clouds. It's those weak scholars. Singing this song, his body also exudes an indomitable momentum. Looking at their red eyes, I'm sure they were on the battlefield. They can rush forward without hesitation. ”
mentioned the song that Li Feng taught them to sing yesterday, and Li Chengqian immediately became a little excited. I began to recall yesterday's scene and said it endlessly.
"What the eldest brother said is not wrong at all, if my Tang Dynasty soldiers can sing this song loudly when they go out on the battlefield or on the battlefield, just that earth-shattering singing and momentum can make the enemy afraid of three points. On the contrary, my Datang side is like a rainbow, and the benefits of one and the other are needless to say. Unexpectedly, the fourth uncle could not only make a poignant song like the white fox, but also make such a magnificent and stirring song. Loyal to the country, it's really good, and the name is good."
Li Ke was on the side, and he commented on the song to the extreme. I admired Li Feng even more in my heart.
Actually, speaking of this song, it was indeed Li Feng who taught them yesterday. This military training, how can it be without military songs. However, Li Feng picked and chose among the military songs he was once familiar with, but he didn't find a military song that matched the atmosphere of this era. But fortunately, after some screening, he finally found a suitable song.
This is the one, loyal to the country. Magnificent enough, imposing enough, and most importantly, it is in line with the atmosphere of this era. So, Li Feng did not hesitate to teach this song to these people as the military song of this military training.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Shu, from this the last general has a bold idea. If I implement some subjects of this military training, as well as that military song, in my Tang army, what effect do you think it will have? ”
At this time, Qin Huaiyu's expression became very serious, but there was an excitement in his eyes, and then he said what he thought in his heart to Li Chengqian and Li Ke.
In fact, since he participated in this military training on the first day, he knew that this matter was not simple, and such an idea germinated in his heart. As the military training lasted longer and longer, he became more and more determined in this idea. Knowing that Li Feng taught them to sing the song of loyalty to the country yesterday made him a little difficult to suppress.
Come, he went back to tell Qin Shubao about this matter first, but after thinking about it, it was better to talk to the prince and the king of Shu. Because, once it comes to the army, it is no trivial matter, and the emperor is the most sensitive. More importantly, this matter involves Li Feng, and to put it mildly, it is their royal family's own business.
In this way, it is more appropriate to report directly to the emperor by Li Chengqian or Li Ke.
"yes, I didn't think of that. That's right, when we return to the palace tomorrow, the three of us will immediately go to tell my father about it, and I think my father will definitely agree. ”
When Li Chengqian heard this, he immediately became happy.
"Prince, in my opinion, I won't go to this matter, the stakes are very high, and it is not something that a small captain of mine can participate in, thank you for the prince's love."
"Yes, eldest brother, this matter is very important, and it should be up to you, the prince, to report to your father, and my brother also thank you for your kindness."
Li Chengqian's words, Qin Huaiyu and Li Ke both understood, he was pulling everyone to share the credit. However, out of other considerations, Qin Huaiyu and Li Ke both politely refused.
"I said you, forget it, forget it, I'll go, I'll go. But don't worry, I know what to tell my father."
Seeing Qin Huaiyu and Li Ke shirking, Li Chengqian was depressed for a while. However, he also has his thoughts in his heart, so let them be.
That's right, Li Chengqian does have his thoughts, otherwise, he would not be so enthusiastic about this matter. He was very tired of staying in the East Palace since he came, and he didn't like to do those things. As he said before, he wanted to be able to gallop into battle and strike fear into the hearts of all his enemies.
And this matter is already obvious, it is absolutely beneficial to the Tang army, and the emperor has no reason to disagree. However, things seem simple, but they are not simple. Because this matter involves Li Feng's side. This makes things difficult, and ordinary people can't take over this job.
The only way is to find a royal person who is skilled with Li Feng to handle this matter, which is the most suitable. And this matter was reported by Li Chengqian, how can it be said that Li Chengqian has also been under Li Feng for a period of time, he is the crown prince, and he is the most suitable for him.
In this way, isn't it just what Li Chengqian wanted? Messing with Li Feng, that's something he is quite happy to do. Wanting to go to the battlefield to play, he knew that it was impossible on the base. Even if he can't go to the battlefield in person, he is willing to do something related to the army.
The reason why Qin Huaiyu rejected Li Chengqian's kindness was because the threshold was too high and his position was too low. It's not his turn to worry about such a thing, and it's not beautiful to go. But, to be honest, he really wanted to be involved in this time.
However, this is nothing, as long as Li Chengqian wins this matter, when the time comes, he wants to help, isn't it a simple matter.
If this is done, there is no doubt that it will be a great achievement. If it was in the past, Li Ke would have to fight no matter what. But at this moment, he chose not to fight. All of this stems from Li Chengqian's previous words, he wants to be a general who gallops on the battlefield.
Then let him be a good one, it's better if he can be a general, and if he becomes a general, then he doesn't have to be an emperor. Then he Li Ke has a great chance. Therefore, this matter, not to mention that it is more appropriate for Li Chengqian to do it, or it is not appropriate, Li Ke has to find ways to promote this matter.
It is best to let Li Chengqian get off to a good start, so that his heart to be a general is firmer and more inflated, and that is the best.
It stands to reason that no matter what happens to the prince, he can't help it. After all, the emperor, the empress, and most importantly his uncle, the eldest grandson Wuji, would not agree. No matter how stubborn Li Chengqian is, he is powerless in the face of these pressures.
However, now there is a variable, if these four uncles support the prince, it will be difficult to say.
"Big brother, since you don't want to be the emperor, then I'll help you. I hope that in the future, we will each take what we need. It's better than when the time comes, fratricide. ”
Seeing Li Chengqian, who was obviously very excited, Li Ke couldn't help but think of it in his heart.
