Chapter 40: Teacher Shangguan

"Perhaps, father, I can be the guest of the Tang Dynasty, like a Turkic official, alas, I only hope that I can really do something for the well-being of the people of the two countries, and I hope that there will never be a war between the two countries!" Xiao Han sighed, he finally wanted to accept the official position.

"Okay, Han'er, this is the best, none of us wants a war between the two countries; you don't know how much it costs to get down a big war? Also, the deaths and injuries of soldiers and civilians are more than 100,000 people, alas, war is the most cruel thing, it is the most dangerous game, and if you lose, there will be nothing!" said Gaozong meaningfully.

Gaozong Li Zhi is really like an emperor at this time, perhaps, this is his essence: is this what Taizong likes him?

"Father, why did Taizong pass the throne to you in the first place, but not to Prince Chengqian?

This is Zhou Changfeng's problem, Xiao Han never forgot Zhou Changfeng's gaze, especially, his hateful gaze!

"It's not that the crown prince is not impossible, it's just that he is a fierce man, has a violent temperament, and is eager for quick success and quick profit in everything, so it is inevitable that there will be some mistakes in handling things, so Taizong tried several times and decided to abolish him; and when the prince heard the news, he knew that he had lost the emperor's favor, so he took risks, and finally, once took advantage of Taizong's expedition to try to usurp the throne; Taizong was finally forced to abolish the crown prince and imprisoned him for life, and the prince later committed suicide!" Gaozong Li Zhi said.

"Then, why did Taizong choose you? Could it be that you are the best of all the princes?" Xiao Han asked.

"No, the third brother, the fifth brother, and the seventh brother are all stronger than me, maybe, because I am more tranquil by nature and don't like to scramble, so, Taizong finally chose me, maybe this is the so-called stupid people have stupid blessings, haha!"

He is the final victor, he is qualified to be proud, perhaps, it is really called: not to fight is to fight!

"I see, alas, Master, you can look at it, the crown prince Chengqian was indeed wrong back then, but no, no!" Xiao Han sighed unconsciously.

"What kind of fool has stupid blessings? I think, it is Taizong who thinks you are the most reliable and safe, isn't it, father?" Princess Taiping smiled and deliberately curryed favor with Gaozong.

Sure enough, Gaozong Longyan Dayue said: "Taiping is still the most sensible, haha, maybe, Taizong thought like this at the time, Datang doesn't need to toss, just needs to be stable, like now!"

A gust of wind blew, and the plum fragrance in the courtyard came again, attracting Xiao Han's mind.

Unconsciously he walked into the courtyard, took a deep breath, and pulled out the black snow.

Its light gathered again, as if the sun at this moment had drawn out its strong fighting spirit, and it kept shaking, and it was clear that it wanted to move.

Xiao Han let out a long roar, and then danced, and played out the plum blossom sword technique.

At this time, there was no hatred in his chest, but instead, the chic, cold, and arrogant meaning of the plum blossom was swayed out at will, and it seemed that at this time he really understood the plum blossom: her nobility, elegance and calmness!

Snow is just her best foil, it seems that Heixue also understands the plum blossoms, and it keeps pouring towards the plum blossoms, but it is extremely controllable, because Xiao Han is manipulating it!

"Good swordsmanship, Brother Han, your swordsmanship has improved a lot, haha, Brother Han, these last three styles seem to be newly created by you, can you teach me immediately?" Princess Taiping immediately requested.

"Okay, Taiping, come, I'll teach you sword intent and sword moves right away, haha, this is exactly what was created for you, of course she belongs to you!" After speaking, Xiao Han immediately explained the sword style and sword intent to her.

Sure enough, Princess Taiping immediately took over the black snow from Xiao Han's hand and played out the last three styles of the plum blossom swordsmanship; with Xiao Han's personal guidance, she learned very quickly, and in less than half an hour, she had already mastered the essence.

"Practice hard, Taiping, the mood is the most important, the essence of plum blossom swordsmanship lies in calmness and calmness, this is the most noble temperament of your Tang princess, Taiping, Brother Han will always love you!" Xiao Han kissed her beautiful and flawless face before letting go.

Princess Taiping's face turned red again, and her eyes were full of moving charm: she liked Xiao Han more and more, even though he was her own brother!

At this time, Yu'er and Wu Meiniang came and said, "Your Majesty, it's time for us to go to luncheon, hehe, for so many days, it's the quietest today, it's just the five of us, haha, do you like it?"

"I like it, thank you, Queen Mother!" Xiao Han said naturally.

"Ah, Brother Xiaohan, why do you call the queen mother like that?" Yu'er didn't understand and opened her eyes wide.

"Just today, tomorrow, I'm the Turkic Lord Keqing!Yu'er, today, you also call them father and queen, okay?" Xiao Han said happily.

"Yes, Brother Xiaohan, Yu'er meets her father and mother!" Yu'er hurriedly did as he wanted.

Princess Taiping was even happier, her face was like a blooming plum blossom, her eyes were beating with joy and sweetness, and then she said: "It's also our Datang Datang Lord Keqing, haha, Queen Mother, Brother Han has agreed to be our Datang official, and he is also a Hakqing!"

"Ah? That's great, haha, finally, we have Xiao Han, the best talent, Your Majesty, we have to celebrate and celebrate in a while, it's so worth celebrating, the border of Datang can be stable!" Wu Meiniang smiled again.

Those eyes were moving again, and it seemed that a new plan was brewing in her heart again!

Sure enough, early the next morning, Princess Taiping came and said that she wanted to invite Xiaohan and Yu'er to meet the teacher.

When Prince Mo heard this, he was unconsciously moved in his heart, and said: "Princess Taiping, since Lord Xiaohan is going to study, this prince has long admired Chinese culture, I don't know, can this prince go to study with them?"

"Haha, Prince, I can't be the master of this, that's Teacher Shangguan's business, you have to go, follow us, go, Brother Han, Sister-in-law Yu'er, let's set off, go to Teacher Shangguan's house, and it's also Wan'er's house!" Princess Taiping immediately pulled them up and left, without even looking at Prince Mo.

Prince Moang was not discouraged, so he said, "Iron guard, then you can rest in the post house, and I will also go to worship the teacher!" After speaking, he drove the carriage and followed.

When I came to Teacher Shangguan's house, I didn't expect that Wan'er was already waiting for them in front of the door, and as soon as they met, she smiled and said: "Taiping, Brother Han, sister-in-law Yu'er, you are here, please, grandfather is waiting for your master!"

Immediately, when he saw Prince Mo, he said, "Oh, it turns out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also here?"

Shangguan Yi did not wear an official uniform, just an ordinary Tang Dynasty regular clothes, I saw that he was upright, his eyes were bright, his body was standing straight, his face was calm and quiet, it seemed that nothing could interfere with his state of mind.

Seeing Shangguan Yi, Xiao Han suddenly felt envious, and couldn't help but say: "This must be Teacher Shangguan, please accept Xiao Han and Yu'er!" After speaking, he really knelt on the ground.

He knows the rite of apprenticeship, although he has already passed the age of enlightenment, but at this moment, he has to sincerely apprentice, this is one of the most solemn etiquettes in the Central Plains, hurry up and pull Yu'er, she also knelt down.

When they were about to kowtow, Shangguan Yi had already pulled him up and said: "Lord Keqing, there is no need to be polite, the emperor and queen have already explained and ordered, Lord Keqing does not need to be polite;

Wan'er on the side had already pulled Yu'er up.

"Thank you, teacher, Xiao Han must be taught with an open mind!" Xiao Han hurriedly promised.

"Prince Mo, what are you doing, do you also want to apprentice?" Shangguan Wan'er said.

"That's right, I heard that our Lord Keqing wants to learn the culture of the Central Plains, of course Prince Ben doesn't want to miss this opportunity to learn, I wonder if Teacher Shangguan is willing to accept me as a student?" Prince Mo's eyes flashed.

"Hmph, you are a Turkic prince, what etiquette do you know, why don't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go back to the Turks to ride horses and shoot arrows earlier? Of course, you can also herd sheep and horses, haha!" Princess Taiping burst out laughing.

"The princess is wrong, since the Turkic prince has the desire to learn, I am also happy to accept one more apprentice; as the saying goes, all brothers are brothers in the four seas, besides, Confucius also said that there is no class in teaching, so, His Royal Highness the Prince, as long as you are willing, I will also accept you, hehe!" Shangguan Yi stroked his beard unconsciously.

Wouldn't it be nice if the culture of the Central Plains could be transmitted to the Turks? At least, the conflict between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks would be smaller! Thinking of this, Shangguan Yi's face suddenly emitted a red light.

"Then, Prince Mo, don't you kneel down to worship the teacher? This is the etiquette of our Central Plains, and we can't save it, so you have to kowtow to the teacher at least three times!" Princess Taiping did not let go of Prince Mo.

"Haha, as long as the teacher is willing to accept it, Mo Yu will be the apprentice!" After speaking, he really knelt down and respectfully kowtowed to Shangguan Yi three times.

"Okay, good, good, the prince, please get up, the prince invites up, the old man is really happy today, okay, I hope you can bring the culture of our Central Plains back to the Turks, and I hope that the two countries will live in peace from now on, and there will never be a war, haha!" he smiled happily.

"Wan'er, from today on, you will first write for the two of them, Taiping, you mainly teach Yu'er, I hope you can all calm down in the morning and dusk, gather your minds, and start with our Confucianism University Dao;

"Yes, grandfather, Brother Han, Prince Mo, Sister-in-law Yu'er, Taiping, you can come with you!" After speaking, he took them to the study.

Shangguan Yi's study is very large, with a lot of books and four long tables, and it seems that he often teaches students at home, and the four treasures of the study room are readily available.

"Brother Han, let's start with the most basic handwriting today, the best calligrapher in our Tang Dynasty is Ouyang Xun, so let's write his style;

Xiao Han has never practiced calligraphy seriously, his living habits have never had anything to do with calligraphy, and everything is really starting from scratch at this time, and Mo Yu is no exception.

It took nearly half an hour for the two of them to swing the brush around, and it seemed that the pen was heavier than the scimitar of the long sword at their waists.

Both of them shook their heads unconsciously, unable to speak, and at this moment, obviously, they felt that the word "stupid" was written like this: this word was written on their faces!
