Chapter 43: The Temple

Before leaving, Li Ru made a special trip to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Industry to visit his father-in-law.

Pei Jiye led all the family members to greet Li Ru at the door.

In the cold wind, counting from Pei Jiye, the tips of each nose were red from the cold.

Seeing this, Li Ru hurriedly stepped over in three steps and two steps, helped up the old man who had just done half of the salute, and said with concern: "Master Pei doesn't need to be polite." ”

As he spoke, he smirked and said, "After all, we can be regarded as a family." ”

"Ahem......" When Pei Jiye heard this, his old face turned red, and he coughed a few times but didn't refute it.

Although mentioning what happened to his two daughters, Old Man Pei was still angry.

But after all, Li Ru is the crown prince, and the two daughters marrying into the East Palace can be regarded as Gao Pan, and Li Ru is a bastard, but he can be regarded as respectful.

Thinking like this, Old Man Pei looked away.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to travel, why did he suddenly think of coming to Lao Chen?"

"Hehe......" Li Ru laughed when he heard this, then put his arm around the old man's shoulder, and asked while walking inside: "I'm not missing a patrol general who travels to the town, and the son-in-law has been thinking hard for a few days and can't do it, and ......this matter has to rely on your father-in-law."

When Pei Jiye heard this, he didn't say anything, but he was beautiful in his heart.

You kid, you know what the old man is capable of.

When I entered the house, I made a pot of fragrant tea, and the tea tasted five flavors, but there was a lot of gossip, but the main topic was not mentioned.

Li Ru was anxious in his heart, and Pei Jiye really pointed out a person to Li Ru, whose name was Jiang Hua.

"Jiang Hua, General Jiang, although this person is still a mere fifth-grade general, but you don't have to underestimate this person, when he was the champion of martial arts before, he was the best ......"

Li Ru heard what his father-in-law said, frowned, and searched carefully.

But Rao is he thought out of his brain, and he didn't remember that there was a martial artist surnamed Jiang in the Dalong Dynasty.

Pei Jiye seemed to see Li Ru's doubts, sighed lightly, and explained: "This person comes from a humble background, although he has learned a good martial arts, he has never been able to reuse it, especially when he was clearly the first person in martial arts, but he was robbed of his name by a child of a family. It's a pity, it's a pity......"

Li Ru heard him say this and understood.

This is a matter of finding a stand-in and grabbing credit, but it has existed since ancient times, and it is not uncommon to be given a place by a child of a family.

However, this person Li Ru has it in mind, if he is really a talented person, then he will naturally be recruited under his command.

Now is the time when there is a shortage of people, and as the crown prince, there are not many people available in the court.

Although he formed his own guard, and there was a group of second ancestors to follow him, after all, there was no real talent and learning subordinate in the officialdom, so there were many constraints.

Li Ru entered the palace, found Emperor Shilong, and knocked on the side openly and secretly.

Emperor Shilong waved his hand and said casually: "If you want to pick a general who will accompany you, it's not a big deal, you can do it yourself......

When Li Ru heard this, his heart blossomed, "This is what your father said, no matter who your son picks, he will give it to me?"

"That's right!" Shi Long glanced at Li Ru with a smile, thinking that he could still open his mouth and ask for a hussar general.

Unexpectedly, Li Ru opened his mouth and named someone he had never heard of.

"The son already has a favorite candidate, and that person's name is Jiang Hua, but he asks his father to fulfill it. ”

"Ginger?"

Li Ru's appearance made Shilong confused.

Emperor Shilong went through his generals in his mind, and he didn't think that there was any other surname Jiang.

So, he could only raise his hand to summon the chief eunuch and ask, "Is there a person named Jiang Hua in this palace?"

The chief eunuch pondered for a while, and saluted: "Back to Your Majesty, there is such a person, but ......"

Li Ru heard the affirmative reply, and hurriedly interrupted the eunuch's speech excitedly, shouting: "Then it's him, father, and the son wants him to travel with the son to relieve the disaster." ”

Shilong had eaten a few years longer than him, and was relatively calm, and continued to ask, "Who is Jiang Hua?"

"This ......," said the chief eunuch, with a sad face, "that man was just a little five-grade official, and he made a mistake some time ago and was punished to feed the horses." ”

"!" Li Ru can't bear it, such a talent, you let him feed the horses?

His grandmother has a leg, no wonder there are few available talents in the Da Long Dynasty.

None of the really talented people in their feelings have been reused.

After hearing this, Shilong was a little concerned, "Why don't you change to a high-grade general to accompany you?"

After all, it is his own son, not to mention the first time to do this kind of thing out of Beijing for disaster relief, Shilong said that he was not worried that it was fake, so he also hoped to install a few capable generals to accompany him, so that he could protect Li Ruquan.

Today, even if Li Ru didn't ask for the people who accompanied him, Emperor Shilong would have appointed him.

Unexpectedly, Li Ru shook his head and seemed to have a rattle, and even claimed: "Father, the son doesn't want anyone else, so he wants this surname Jiang...... That's right, Erchen doesn't need anyone else except Jiang Hua. ”

Shilong stroked his forehead helplessly.

Seeing that he was so determined, he had no choice but to say: "That's okay, I'll give an order, let Jiang Hua report to your East Palace immediately, and then return to your escort team together......"

Speaking of this, Shilong thought for a while, and then said, "In addition, I will give you two more generals to travel together." ”

Li Ru pondered, that's okay.

Anyway, give a few more, and you won't suffer a loss.

"Then the minister thanked your father and emperor in advance for your reward. Hey. ”

After Li Ru finished speaking, he returned to the East Palace with the holy decree.

At dusk, Jiang Hua really came to report.

I saw that he had a dark complexion, looked tall and big, and had a bit of Li Kui's taste.

What's even more coincidental is that this Jiang Hua really made two Xuanhua board axes, and Li Ru looked at it, so he asked him to play two majestic performances for himself on the martial arts training platform in the East Palace.

Let's say that the martial arts training platform in the East Palace has not been used for many years, and even the dust has fallen into a thick layer.

"Huh...... Roar!"

This Jiang Hua didn't care much, holding the axe in both hands, turning over to the stage, and his posture was vigorous.

A set of actions down, flowing smoothly.

Li Ru's eyes lit up, and he slapped his hands and praised: "General Jiang is very capable!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince praised ......"

After Jiang Hua accepted the guy, he knelt in front of Li Ru, and said bravely: "I think that Jiang Hua is just a small general, but today I can enter the eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince, and I will definitely be born and die in the future to repay His Royal Highness the Prince's kindness." ”

Li Ru helped him up, patted his big hand on his sturdy tendon meat, and said with a smile: "You have tendon meat, it's a pity not to farm, don't worry, follow me, I will reward you with thousands of acres of land in the future, let you plant enough!"

When Jiang Hua heard this, his expression was stunned, he scratched his head, and saw that Li Ru was serious, and his heart was even more weird.

Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appreciate me, or do you despise me?

After being entangled for a long time, he was about to ask a question, but when he looked up, he could see that there was still Li Ru's figure.
