Don't be a prince

"The disciples saw the inferiority of this nation, so they obstructed them in every possible way from learning the technology of the Tang Dynasty. Such a nation that has no respect for heaven and earth, and no mercy for human life, once it develops, it will definitely become a devil."

Li Gang nodded, then waved to Yu Tai in boredom.

Yu Tai agreed, saluted and walked out.

"Next time, don't do the murder in the college. This is a place for teaching and educating people. What's the matter with always being bloody? Don't try to show it to the old man and others. Don't look at Yao Silian and the others. They are very disgusted." , but they have always supported the decision you made."

Li Chengqian smiled and said nothing more.

In fact, the reason why he clearly told the Waguo Artificial Academy where it was, and gave them strict orders not to approach it, was to ask them to peep.Only when thieves really do what thieves do, will people recognize their identities as thieves.

But his arrangement is doomed to be useless, because the old gentlemen don't care whether the Japanese are thieves or not. As long as Li Chengqian doesn't like them, they will naturally not show a good face.

Not far from the college, the emperor's palace has already been built. Although it doesn't look like the architectural style of the palace, you can only know how comfortable it is after entering.Coal stoves are no longer a rare thing, but charcoal basins are still used in the palace, because the Ministry of Rites believes that digging holes in the palace is against the ancestral system.

As far as the ancestral system is concerned, not to mention the coal stove, even the windows cannot be changed randomly.Everyone knows that glass panels and cement can effectively prevent wind and cold, but it cannot be changed in the palace.

The new palace is not as elegant as that, there is no space for the coal stove, and no animal skins where the glass should be.Even the overall material is cement, and at most a layer of wood is installed outside.As for the interior, there are lime walls, dazzling white, plus sofa bookshelves and other decorations, and glazed chandeliers, which means that the houses of later generations can be believed.

Li Shimin was very satisfied with his new palace, and his conscience found that the inner government usually sent [-] guan to the East Palace.

Although the construction cost of the palace did not reach [-] guan, Li Chengqian was still very happy to accept it.

"Father, what are you doing with so many troops? Could it be that some general is going to go out? Even if Duke Wei is going out, you don't need to send him off."

Around the college, this time there are more than 4 troops stationed, and they are all the elite of the government soldiers.Even the Xuanjia Army, two thousand appeared, looking murderous.

"Didn't I still have an agreement with you? I just took advantage of this autumn hunting opportunity to compete. This year, envoys from various countries are here, so the court easily passed the proposal of autumn hunting. Boy, when the envoys are present Don't shoot arrows casually, once you shoot it crookedly, it will embarrass Datang! If you really can't bear it, remove the marks on your arrows."

Li Chengqian nodded naturally. It seems that this year's autumn hunting is also a stage to show the Tang Dynasty's military equipment to foreigners.The destruction of the Eastern Turks shocked them all night. The envoys came to Datang not only to express friendship, but also to estimate the real combat power of Datang.So since the border gate, the officials of Honglu Temple have intentionally or unintentionally let them see the military appearance of the Tang army.

Now that the envoys from various parties are gathering in Chang'an, it is natural to use the pretext of autumn hunting to open their eyes!

"Since you want the Xuanjia Army to compete with the Crown Prince, I will go back and mobilize the troops. However, in the grassland party, the Crown Prince's army was severely injured, and the number of personnel was reduced by nearly [-]%. The new soldiers are still in training. So, how about your Xuanjia Army paying [-]?"

Li Shimin nodded naturally, and he didn't even care about asking the Xuanjia Army to pay a thousand.Although the military merits obtained by the prince personally leading the grassland and his party are impressive, and the generals from all walks of life said convincingly that the prince personally led the first contribution, but he still thinks that these generals are turning a corner to repay the prince for supporting the wounded barracks kindness.

The station led by the crown prince was not far from the college. When Li Chengqian returned to the barracks and told them that the original agreement was about to be fulfilled, the soldiers led by the prince couldn't help howling!

Sky-Changing Monkey couldn't help jumping up, and before his feet hit the ground, he said, "Your Highness, what are we going to compete with? If it's a jungle battle, I guarantee that my subordinates won't lose more than [-]%!"

Liu Mang also clenched his fists tightly: "Your Highness, if there is a struggle, the humble can deal with both of them!"

Yu Tai yelled loudly, and the excited soldiers fell silent.

Clapping his hands, Li Chengqian said in a loud voice: "At the beginning, Gu told you that if you win the Xuanjia Army, you will be rewarded with many rewards. Now I will tell you all about it. As long as you win, Gu will give you a letter of recommendation. Let you go to the sixteen guards to practice. With your qualifications, it is not impossible to become a marquis immediately in the future!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chengqian found that there were no cheers as he had imagined, and the sergeants all lowered their heads, as if they were very unwilling.

"What's going on, you don't want to? You must know that you are under the command of the prince, and you have the highest official position, that is, the school lieutenant. It is impossible for you to enter the fifth rank or above and become a general."

Fang Shuo looked around and saw that no one dared to speak out, so he gritted his teeth and replied, "Your Highness, I am not willing to leave the crown prince to lead. Although there is a chance to make further progress after leaving, I am a grass-roots revolutionary. Thanks to His Highness, the family has enough food and clothing, no worries about farming, no worries about no meat to eat, already very content. A captain is just a captain, it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t become a general!”

Li Chengqian couldn't help but laugh. It's because they are content and they don't want to make progress. It's clear that they have already developed feelings for the crown prince.As young people, they basically did not experience troubled times, and as ordinary people, they did not have the ambition of the children of aristocratic families to pursue perfection.

It seems that this reward is not suitable...

Yu Tai was about to use his big feet to teach these unmotivated team leaders a lesson, but was stopped by Li Chengqian.

Clapping his hands again, Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Since you don't want to leave, forget it, I will give you another reward, if you win, I will prepare a good horse for each of you, how about it?"

Now, everyone is excited.

Things like horses are not something they can afford. Although the grasslands are rich in rewards, buying a horse is not a big deal, but they are all from poor families. Faced with such expenses, they are still reluctant.Well now, as long as you win, the crown prince will reward you with horses. How can such a good thing not be exciting?

Seeing that the atmosphere was finally mobilized, Li Chengqian handed over the task of leading the army to Yu Tai.

Now that the army selected by the sixteen guards has assembled, as long as the civil and military ministers temporarily finish the work at hand, the autumn hunt will officially begin.

Hunting by the imperial court has existed since the Zhou Dynasty, but in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, because of the chaos in the world, no hunting activities were carried out no matter it was spring, summer, autumn and winter.Now that the autumn hunting has begun, Li Chengqian knows why when the emperor wanted the autumn hunting two years ago, the courtiers would rather try their best to admonish it than stop it.

It's so expensive!

During the autumn hunt, there were [-] troops guarding the periphery alone, not counting those who followed the emperor's team.

Although the emperor abolished those red tapes when he traveled, the food and grass expenses of the army were enough to support a small war.

It was Li Chengqian's first time riding a horse since crossing. If he wanted to ride a car in the mountains, he was just joking.The flatter road is better. If you encounter mountains and forests, even the emperor has to get off his horse to avoid hurting the horse.

Zhang Yun was sent by the emperor to lead the prince's horse, and the incident of falling off the horse made him afraid for a while.

Yawning boredly, Li Chengqian looked at the cliff where he and others were, and asked Zhang Yun: "Why are we standing here stupidly? Isn't autumn hunting just hunting? How can we find prey if we don't move around?"

Zhang Yun smiled, pointed to the bottom of the cliff at his feet and said, "Your Highness, you don't know that individual hunting and army hunting are two different things. Orion hunting naturally has to search everywhere, even in the Qinling Mountains. But the army For hunting, it is not troublesome enough to disperse the lineup. So, there will be a special army beating gongs and drums in an enveloping shape to threaten the wild animals to run. The reason why this area is listed as a royal hunting ground is because of the aisle under our feet, and the back A small pocket-shaped plain. When the beast flees, it will definitely pass through here, and then..."

There is no need for Zhang Yun to explain, the sound of beating gongs and drums can not be heard, but countless smoke and dust can be seen, appearing from the forest in the distance. All kinds of wild beasts running around.

Finally, the wild beasts under the cover of the treetops appeared under the blue sky and broad daylight. It was clearly the Qinling Mountains in the Central Plains, and those wild beasts suddenly ran out of the migration of African animals.

"Prepare!"

Cheng Yaojin, who was temporarily appointed as the so-called "Qinling Road Marching Chief", immediately took out his command flag and sent a signal to the soldiers on both sides.

This side is full of bows and arrows, but on the other side of the cliff are soldiers carrying big stones.

Li Chengqian finally understood what Zhang Yun meant. At this moment, even throwing a few stones at random would kill the prey.

Taking out his bow and arrows, Li Chengqian didn't know how to shoot arrows for a while, facing the dazzling variety of prey under the cliff.

Seeing that the tail of the beast team had appeared, everyone couldn't help but gear up.

If a wild beast starts attacking as it passes by, the last thing left must be a broken body.With such a large-scale trampling, it is estimated that even the skin will not be left.

The first one to shoot an arrow was naturally the emperor, and saw his black wooden bow humming, and a goat that jumped up the cliff fell down on the small platform below.The arrow hit the goat in the eye.

Seeing that the emperor succeeded with one arrow, the rest of the people began to shoot.

Although the envoys from all parties were very close to the emperor, there was an eunuch with a sword drawn behind them. As long as they made any changes, their heads would be separated immediately.

Aiming at a big black bear, Li Chengqian decisively let go of the bowstring.But whether the arrow hits or not, there is no way to see it.Now that the arrows are raining, who can tell which one is their own?

Soon, the beast tide passed, and a large group of soldiers began to block the gap with bags of sandbags.

Although the pocket-like plains that Zhang Yun mentioned are not in a desperate situation, they can still trap so many prey for a period of time.Next, it's hunting on horseback!

He put away his bow and arrow without hesitation. Li Chengqian, who knew nothing about horseback riding, didn't want to fall again.first launch.. ..

Seeing that everyone except him started to get on their horses and shoot, Li Chengqian led his horse back to the camp.

Such a lively autumn hunting, how can there be no barbecue?With the speed of the general supervisor, it is estimated that the barbecue grills are ready.

Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at the camp, he saw the convoy led by Li Dahai, which had already started to unload.

Seeing the prince, Li Dahai grinned and was about to come over to salute.

Pressing Li Dahai's shoulder, Li Chengqian said with a smile: "I can't accept your gratitude for the face you earned yourself. How about it, are your relatives crazy?"

Li Dahai laughed loudly: "Your Highness, I don't know. Ever since His Majesty's praise and your prince's education came down, the elders of our family traveled all the way to Chang'an. They are all elders, but they nodded and bowed to me, a junior. In order to let My Hui tribe, even the position of the patriarch, they have cleared up."

Li Chengqian nodded: "It's okay, at least I have an attitude. How about it, do you want to go home? If you want, I will remove you from your post."

Li Dahai's eyes turned red, and he bowed and said, "Your Highness, my old Li is not a person who doesn't know what to do. Now that the people of their own clan are so humble, it is the face that the prince bestowed on this old slave. Except for the third son who was sent back to the clan by the old man. , the old slave and the other sons will stay in Chang'an for His Highness to send!"

Patting Li Dahai on the shoulder, Li Chengqian also breathed a sigh of relief.

Recognizing one's ancestors is a tradition in this land. Even the royal family has to assign their surnames to Lao Tzu, let alone other families.

Today, the property outside the East Palace can be said to be supported by Li Dahai. The passage of time has proved that he is indeed a qualified shopkeeper.During the grassland war, their family bravely sent supplies without fear of death. On weekdays, there is no one penny mistake in the account books.Such a good man, it's a pity to leave.

After ordering the cook in the imperial dining room to prepare a fire, Li Chengqian returned to the hunting ground only after making sure that the charcoal fire on the seasoning grill was ready.

The initial kills are over, and the rest is left to chance.

Many small animals like pheasants and hares are difficult to identify once they hide in a pile of grass, and the only way to do it is to keep searching.

As soon as the horse passed by a bush, a hare came out.

He wanted to get the bow, but he didn't take it out immediately. Seeing that the hare was about to run away, Li Chengqian hurriedly whistled.

The next moment, Heitantou, who was listlessly following behind the horse's butt, immediately rushed out like a black shadow.

The hare escaped the arrow, but failed to escape Heitantou's pursuit.

After a while, Heitantou ran over with the hare in his mouth, wagging his tail.

Several war horses roared past, and they turned out to be the emperor, Li Jing and others.

Just passing by but stopped again, driving the horse back, Li Jing glanced at Heitan's head and laughed loudly: "Your Highness's ability to train dogs is almost as good as Orion's."

After a compliment, he untied a rabbit tied to his saddle and threw it out.

The rabbit was injured by an arrow in its hind leg, so it couldn't run very fast.After throwing out the rabbit, Li Jing really wanted to see how the hounds chased it.

no response....

Heitantou squatted in front of the horse, tilting his head to look at Li Jing as if he were looking at a fool.

Li Shimin laughed loudly: "Li Jing, you may not know that this black dog won't move unless the crown prince gives orders. Not to mention a rabbit, even if you put meat by its mouth, it won't eat it."

Li Jing smiled helplessly, and when he looked at the rabbit again, he found that he couldn't find it anymore.

In order to avoid Li Jing's embarrassment, Li Chengqian could only whistle once.

The next moment, he was squatting in front of the horse and tilting his head to look at Li Jing's Heitan head, then rushed out again, and came back with the rabbit with the injured leg in its mouth after a while.

"It is said that dogs understand human nature, but today I have seen it."

After letting out a sigh of emotion, Li Jing didn't know what he thought of, and with a sad face, he drove the horse away.

But Yu Chigong and Zhang Gongjin, seeing that Li Jing was leaving in a dingy manner, immediately reacted and drove the horse away.

Immediately, only the emperor's crown prince Zhang Yun and a few eunuchs who guarded the emperor were left here.

Jumping off the horse, Li Shimin sighed and said, "Chengqian, I never thought that you could train this black dog like this. However, it's about time. I found this dog for you in the first place to teach you a lesson." , a lesson that the men in our family must take."

Jump off the horse, look at the expression of the emperor's father, and then look at Heitantou, who is holding a rabbit in his mouth and wagging his tail to ask for credit.

An ominous premonition appeared in Li Chengqian's heart.

"Father wants, wants... son to kill it?"

Chapter 212 Protecting a Dog's Life

It was hard to imagine that the emperor would give the prince a dog when he was free. Li Chengqian had a lot of speculations about this dog before.It's just that this answer is so cruel that he doesn't want to, or dare not think about it.

After pondering for a while, Li Shimin nodded: "That's right, Chengqian, this is a hurdle you must go through. Those who want to achieve great things must be ruthless. You are just a hunting dog. You have to know, What I killed back then was a war horse that I had raised for many years!"

It seems that this one should not be a compulsory course for the royal family, but a compulsory course for the old Li family!

Looking down at the foolish Heitantou, and then at the eunuchs who had dismounted from their horses, Li Chengqian sighed, turned around and took off the sheathed sword from the horse.

It seems that if he doesn't make a decision today, these eunuchs will help him make a decision.

With the long sword out of its sheath, Li Chengqian deliberately walked in front of Heitantou, blocking its dog's head with his body.

He took off his coat, unsheathed the long sword, and slashed across the dog's neck. Heitantou wailed, then fell down, and his lower body twitched a few times.

The coat he just took off happened to cover Heitantou, and Li Chengqian just sat there without saying a word.

Seeing blood oozing from the bottom of the white silk, Li Shimin sighed, turned around and left with the eunuch.Originally, according to the rules, this animal that grew up together was going to be chopped up with knives, but he had already experienced it once, so he understood his son's feelings very well.

It wasn't until the emperor left that Zhang Yun approached him. Seeing Li Chengqian bursting into tears, he said, "Your Highness, I know that you are very sad, but this is a hurdle that the heirs of the empire must go through. There is no record in the history books, but we eunuchs talk to each other. It has been passed down from generation to generation, and there are always many strange rules of the royal family. In some dynasties, they even killed the prince's wet nurse, so that the prince would become hard-hearted." Remember on the mobile phone in a second→.B\\.\For you to provide wonderful Fiction reading.

Li Chengqian doesn't know if his heart can become hard, he only knows that he cut himself, so it hurts so much!

Seeing that all the soldiers around him were soldiers led by the prince himself except Zhang Yun, Li Chengqian sighed and rolled up his coat.

The coat was rolled up, and the dog who just fell to the ground and twitched a few times stood up unscathed, still wagging its tail!

What's going on here?

Zhang Yun narrowed his eyes, and saw a wound on the prince's hand.Looking back at the series of actions the prince made just now, it seems that the speed is fast and dazzling, but if he really managed to do it, how could it be so clean and neat?Moreover, who would have thought that a hound would learn the skill of pretending to be dead and be so proficient.

Rubbing the dog's head, Li Chengqian turned his head and said to Zhang Yun: "Zhang Yun, you owe my life to Gu. Although Gu has never told you, but now I have to ask you for this favor. Of course, if you don't want to , Gu will not say anything to you."

With a sigh, Zhang Yun cupped his hands and said, "It's hard to be small between the two. The servants know that they owe His Highness their lives, so they are naturally willing to obey His Highness's orders in case of repayment. Your Highness can rest assured that since Zhang Yun can follow His Majesty, there is still some trouble." Those who work hard will not lose their lives because of this."

Seeing his affirmation, Li Chengqian also breathed a sigh of relief, and began to treat his wound.

There is no way, asking him to give Gouzi a sword is better than giving himself a sword.The career of the dog-headed military doctor in the grassland is still fruitful, at least he has a thorough research on some blood vessels on the human body surface.Just like the sword just now, the wound was not deep, but many blood vessels were severed. Although the blood flowed profusely, it could recover quickly.

Only now did he dare to believe that the incident of the nurse who stabbed her boyfriend for an unknown number of times and avoided the vitals was indeed not a hype.

The sun already has the meaning of westward, and the sweep of small prey is almost done, and then it is time for carnival.
