Don't be a prince

After all, it is a bear from Lingnan, who has never seen the world. Perhaps in its eyes, the army of the brigade is the same thing as monkeys or goats walking on two feet?

Just as he was about to ask Zhang Yun to bring the bow and arrow, he saw the guards guarding the carriage with knives.These excellent soldiers who are strictly selected from the personal leadership, when they are leading the action, their only mission is to protect the safety of the prince, and they will never compromise on this aspect.

"Zhang Yun, where did you die, hurry up and get the lonely bow and arrow!"

Zhang Yun got out from behind the carriage like a ghost, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, it's better for you to stay here, the distance is so far, the power of bows and arrows is limited, and they can't break through the bear's fur at all, as for approaching, you better forget it. Although this is just an immature bear, if you go crazy, the servants and others may not be able to protect you [-]%."

Li Tai also climbed onto the carriage at some point, stood on the door panel, reached up and grabbed Li Chengqian's feet, and said, "Brother Emperor, you'd better be honest, this thing can be dealt with by bows and arrows? almost."

Gently kicking Li Tai's hand away, Li Chengqian sat on the roof of the carriage depressed, finally met someone who wanted to die but couldn't do anything, it was really depressing.In the past two years in Lingnan, he has almost exhausted Feng An's skills. With the bow and arrow, he might be able to overwhelm the emperor's father. He finally met the opportunity, but he didn't have the opportunity to show it. Even if you get a scholarship, you can only pay the tuition fee.

However, although there is no way to participate in it, it is still no problem to watch the show.Li Xiaogong sailed away, only taking away [-] Xuanjia troops, and insisted on leaving [-] for him.The four thousand Xuanjia troops are well equipped, and even have shield troops.Now, in front of the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army who were holding shields and simply defending, the bears would throw down one or two at most.

After tossing and tossing for a long time but without any achievements, Gou Xiong finally lost his patience and became timid.

However, it is easy to come, but not so easy to leave.

After finally exhausting its strength, Liu Mang put on his helmet and knuckles in the team leading the team, laughed and got into the center from the shield team.

Li Tai originally wanted to get on the roof of the car, but he couldn't, so he could only step on the bench and watch. Seeing that Liu Mang was going to fight the bear one-on-one, he couldn't help cursing: "This guy is stupid. dealt with?"

Li Chengqian chuckled, patted Li Tai on the head and said, "You can watch it, today I will show you what a humanoid beast looks like."

As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, Liu Mang rushed towards the bear.Even though he is not an adult, the bear still stands 1.8 meters tall, the same height as Liu Mang, with its big paw scratching on the iron armor, and can even tear off two armor leaves easily.You know, what Liu Mang wears is an improved Mingguang armor, which is different from the mortise and tenon technique. His armor is riveted on. Although it looks ugly, its sturdiness has been improved by more than one grade, and it cannot be cut by ordinary machetes.

The defense was broken, but Liu Mang didn't seem to feel it at all, he just hugged the bear like that, hid his head and neck in one of the bear's armpits, wore a knuckle fist, and beat the bear's waist desperately.

Under the pain of the bear, the big mouth bit Liu Mang's back without hesitation.But it failed, because Liu Mang realized that the bear's back was really strong, he let go of his hand without hesitation, hugged the bear tightly, and replaced it with a knee strike.

Just one click made the bear scream.Liu Mang's armor is not a standard armor, and all parts of his body have been DIY. The knee pads on his knees are not smooth at all, but bulges like triangular cones. Although the tip looks smooth and not sharp, it is like this With such a structure, under his full blow, the destructive power can be imagined.It is no exaggeration to say that this push against a person can push out a deep hole in the enemy's chest.

The abdomen is one of the bear's weaknesses. After Liu Mang's top, his combat strength was reduced by half.

A successful hit is three consecutive hits.

After four knee bumps, Liu Mang let out a roar, and pushed the bear to the ground, turned over, rode on the bear, and threw out both fists, punching the bear's head one by one. .

He was skeptical before, but after seeing Liu Mang, Li Chengqian completely believed in Wu Song's fight against the tiger.If a person really wants to be reckless, even if he doesn't use a sword, it will be astonishing.Of course, as for a sliding shovel or something, forget it. Putting the tiger skin on the chopping board and cutting it is extremely laborious, let alone cutting a line with an axe.Perhaps, what the old man was holding was a sky-opening axe?

Under Liu Mang's stormy punches, Gou Xiong was able to struggle at first, trying to throw him off, but after seven or eight punches, he lost his strength, and after twenty or thirty punches, he became motionless.

Realizing that the bear was not pretending to be dead or fainting, but really finished, Liu Mang stood up and roared loudly.Immediately, the soldiers in the army formations on both sides struck their shields or breastplates with horizontal knives, shouting loudly: "Wind, strong wind!"

This is an army tradition that has been handed down from the Warring States period. When you fight hard and die, you call it out to increase your momentum, and when you call out for one person, it is the supreme glory in the army.Even Li Chengqian had never enjoyed such an honor when he went to the battlefield in person and returned with blood.

Standing on the bear's corpse, Liu Mang couldn't help beating his chest and roaring.

Feng An was also beside the carriage. After watching the whole battle, he couldn't help admiring: "His Royal Highness has a fierce general. To be honest, I have experienced countless battlefields in my life, but I have never seen such a character. It is Duke E and his like." , I'm afraid I don't have such courage!"

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "No one has said it, but it doesn't mean that there is none. To be honest, if you can say that E Guogong and others have no outstanding achievements, I just don't believe it. Yes. Gu has always been full of admiration for the ancestors, because their glory did not come for no reason, even you, don't you have the heroic deeds of three arrows to settle in Lingnan!"

Feng An raised his head involuntarily, as if recalling the high-spirited era, but immediately sighed, waved his hands and left.Anyway, he is old and his body is in decline, who knows if he can leave behind his name?

Seeing Feng Ang's lonely look, Li Chengqian did not try to persuade him.A general with gray hair and a beauty who is old in age cannot be persuaded by a word or two.In his opinion, Feng An's life has been wonderful enough.To look up to the ancestors, to be ashamed to the people of Lingnan, to be loyal to the king, and to have faith in the tribe, what else?

Just after jumping off the carriage with the help of Li Tai, a bloody smell came over.Liu Mang smiled cheaply and asked his brothers to bring the bear over, as if waiting for praise.

Li Chengqian glanced at the bear speechlessly, and said: "Okay, I know you are fierce, so don't use the bear skin to flatter Gu, just keep it for yourself. If you want a reward, I really want to kick you alone. Bear Ah, what if your armor isn't strong enough? Just do such stupid things."

His passion was extinguished, but Liu Mang was not unhappy at all, he knew that the crown prince said this because he cared about him.Scratching your head right now, promise not to do such a stupid thing next time.

Dinner is very simple, just rice noodles soaked in hot water and fried, sticky like pig food.The bear meat was also divided, but everyone said that it had no special taste.As for the bear's paw, Li Chengqian didn't want it either.In fact, many top-notch dishes are not because they taste so good, but because they have a sense of satisfaction when eating, they feel great.Compared with bear's paw, Li Chengqian still thinks that dried beef tastes better.

After dinner, under Ashina Xue's puzzled eyes, Xiuxiu dragged her away with a blushing face, and lived in the tent next door.What surprised her the most was that today's camp had a large area dedicated to the prince's tent. On weekdays, the guards led by Zhang Yun and his relatives wanted to squeeze together with the prince's tent, but today they were evenly distributed in the outer circle No, not even a guard to guard the gate.

Soon, she knew why, through the tent, she could still hear Su Yuan's faint groans on the other side, as well as the heavy breathing of the prince's husband.No matter how stupid she is at this time, she also knows what happened. When she thinks that the same thing will happen to her soon, she can't help but blush like blood, and ruthlessly thrust her head into Xiuxiu's chest.

Knowing the taste by eating the marrow is talking about the present.It’s okay if you haven’t experienced it, but if you experience it, it’s absolutely addictive.Li Chengqian originally thought that he was quite dignified, but whenever he saw Su Yuan, especially when they were lying together, he still couldn't guard him.

Chapter 4 Chapter Three

To Li Chengqian's surprise, Su Yuan never objected, even though she was surrounded by the army at this time, even though she was ashamed to death, she did not refuse.

At this time, Li Chengqian realized that Datang was so beautiful.

But no matter how ridiculous it is, it can't be ridiculous all day long. Basically, Li Chengqian will only ask for it once every three to five days.As for Ashina Xue and Xiuxiu, it wasn't that Li Chengqian didn't want to, but that all court ladies and eunuchs including Zhang Yun were forbidden.Orthodoxy is very important. Before the prince gave birth to a son with the princess, the son born to the side concubine was most likely to be suppressed or even obliterated.

With this indulgence every three to five days, Li Chengqian felt that the boring journey was not so boring.People are like this, they can always replace the pressure of ten with ten ones to bear.

Although it is not too far from Gaozhou to Shaoguan, it is extremely difficult to travel because there is no road in Lingnan.

During this long and boring journey, the first one who couldn't bear it was Yan Wan.

After setting up camp at night, Yan Wan who came out of the carriage was pale, as if she had suffered a serious illness.

Seeing Yan Wan like this.Su Yuan was startled, and hurried over to replace Li Tai to hold her, and asked, "What's the matter, it hasn't been like this a few days ago."

It was getting dark at this time, and there was still a cool breeze blowing, but Yan Wan didn't feel better for a long time, and then she turned her head and retched again, so anxious that Su Yuan and Xiuxiu could only help her on the back.

Li Tai was jumping anxiously, but there was nothing he could do. The only imperial doctor in the army suffered from heatstroke during the day, and now it was difficult for him to walk. Others were helpless.

Concerned about chaos, Li Chengqian had no choice but to comfort Li Tai and said, "It's okay, let's slow down our schedule these few days, isn't it that we haven't arrived in the Central Plains yet, and the south of Jingzhou belongs to the Central Plains, but there are very few residents. Don't be afraid." If my wife shows up in public, I will bring her here on a horse and wheel."

Li Tai said anxiously: "It's not that I didn't take her to ride a horse when I was in Chang'an before. It's just that she never got dizzy in a car before. She had a slight reaction two days ago, but it wasn't serious. Why is the reaction so violent today?"

"What's going on? Isn't it a day?"

Looking at Li Tai who was anxious, and Yan Wan who was still retching, a possibility suddenly appeared in Li Chengqian's mind.

At the moment, he couldn't help but slapped Li Tai on the shoulder: "You bastard, confess to brother, you two, don't you..."

Li Tai's face turned red, his eldest brother is like a father, but he was a little embarrassed to mention this topic.

"You... said earlier!"

Glancing at the pale Yan Wan, Li Chengqian immediately ordered the army to station and rest for two days.Then he dragged Feng An to see the imperial doctor.It's ridiculous to say that if you want to see an imperial doctor, you have to see an imperial doctor first.

As a native of Lingnan, Feng An naturally knew how to deal with heatstroke, so he directed a sergeant to give the imperial doctor a fierce scraping. Obviously, the scraping seemed to have no scientific basis, but the effect was surprisingly good.In the early morning of the next day, the imperial doctor actually improved a lot. Although walking was still very difficult, the pulse diagnosis was still no problem.

Sitting outside the tent, Li Chengqian looked at Li Tai who was walking back and forth in front of him, and couldn't help being agitated. He couldn't help scolding: "Be quiet, what if the imperial doctor's diagnosis is wrong because of your influence?"

Hearing the scolding, Li Tai stopped, but the anxiety still couldn't be concealed.

Feng An was sitting beside Li Chengqian, glanced at Zhang Yun who was not about to leave behind the crown prince, his throat slipped, and finally said softly: "His Royal Highness, if the king of Wei gets a son before you..."

He didn't say what he said next, but no matter who heard it, he understood what it meant.What the royal family pays most attention to is blood inheritance, which can be seen from the emperor's Sangong Sixth Courtyard.But the eldest grandson is not born of the eldest son. To be honest, it is quite tricky.At least from the current situation, King Wu is an exception. Even if he has ten sons, he is not destined to aspire to the supreme position.But Li Tai is different, he is also born of the eldest grandson empress, and the emperor and empress love him even without exception, which shows how much he is loved by the emperor and empress.

In this situation....

Glancing at the anxious Li Tai, Li Chengqian also lowered his voice and said to Feng An: "I don't need Feng Gong to worry about this issue. I never thought that Qing Que was an opponent. This is not contempt, but trust. It is said that the royal family has nothing to do with it." Family affection, but Gu doesn’t see it that way. It’s all rolled out of a mother’s belly, as long as there is a sincere friendship, how can a chair surpass this brotherhood?”

Feng An opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything after all.He really wanted to say that the prince was naive, but he couldn't find any real evidence.You know, the shipyard completed more than half of the tasks of the court. When he asked for credit for the prince, King Wei, and the shipyard, the prince did agree, but when he went to the king of Wei, he stubbornly crossed out his name.

The entire territory of the Tang Dynasty was armed, and the Lingnan Shipyard took the lead. It completed the emperor's order brilliantly, which is undoubtedly a great contribution, but Wei Wang didn't seem to be interested in it at all.

Now it seems that the relationship between King Wei and the prince is indeed greater than the imperial power, but in the future... who can say for sure!

Time passed very slowly, and even Li Chengqian, who was always calm, felt that the imperial doctor was a little smudged.Just when he couldn't help letting Li Tai in to have a look, the old bastard came out instead.

It can be clearly seen that the imperial doctor's hands are trembling, and there is even a feeling of winning the lottery.

Seeing the imperial doctor come out, Li Tai didn't care that he would get better from heatstroke, so he rushed up and grabbed his neck and shook him: "How is it? Tell me, tell me!!"

Li Chengqian didn't stop Li Tai, because he knew that if it was him, he might have the same reaction.

Li Tai's strength is not small, the imperial doctor was almost fainted by the shaking, and he couldn't do the salute, so he could only say loudly: "His Royal Highness Wei Wang, the diagnosis of this minister will not be wrong, Wei Wangfei must be happy , It's just that she was just pregnant, and such a bumpy journey was not something she could bear, that's why she vomited so violently."

Are you really happy?

The color of surprise replaced anxiety almost in an instant. With a desperate tug, Li Tai pulled the jade pendant off his waist, even breaking the belt. He threw the jade pendant and the money bag on the belt to the imperial doctor, and He laughed and rushed into the tent.

"Are you sure you can't make a mistake?"

Li Chengqian had no doubts about the pulse diagnosis of traditional Chinese medicine, but he still felt unwilling to trust him if he was replaced by a doctor other than Sun Simiao.After all, he knew very well that the older these bastards in the imperial medical department were, the more they liked "health care"."Health care" for headaches and "health care" for backaches, anyway, there are few real prescriptions for the symptoms.

After all, medicine is three-point poison.

The imperial doctor didn't expect the crown prince to ask a question, and he felt a little bit in his heart, but he still said: "There is nothing wrong with it. Back then, Concubine Yin was happy, and it was my minister who made the diagnosis!"

To the surprise of the imperial doctor, the prince did not get angry when he heard this sentence, but followed Li Tai's example and rewarded him with the jade pendant and money bag on his body.There may be some jealousy, but no resentment at all.

Soon, Li Tai walked out of the tent with Yan Wan.After confirming that she was pregnant with the child, Yan Wan's whole body was about to glow, and Li Tai was even more attentive like a court lady, personally holding Yan Wan's arm.

Walking in front of Li Chengqian, Li Tai smiled and said, "Brother Huang, I'm going to write a book and send it to Chang'an. Let's slow down a bit. It's better to slow down to the extreme than to let Wan'er have an accident. I heard that , just pregnant, is the most difficult time for a woman to keep a child."

Li Chengqian nodded: "That's natural, but to be on the safe side, we can still go by land when we arrive in Jingzhou. When we arrive in Jingzhou, it's best to turn to the waterway and return to Chang'an along the Han River. Before that, I will give you the right to deploy the army to advance and stop." Already!"

Li Tai nodded, Yan Wan also squatted down to salute, but Li Tai complained for a while: "I'm pregnant with a child, so don't salute, Brother Huang is not a polite person."

Seeing Li Tai surrounded by Yan Wan, wanting to put his tail in his ears and stick his tongue out, Li Chengqian was suddenly very envious.

Being a parent, I didn't dare to think about it before, and I even resisted it a little bit, but after all, it has to be experienced.

Su Yuan was accompanying Yan Wan in the tent just now, and now she also came out, looking at Li Chengqian's appearance, she felt a little resentful.

Li Chengqian scratched his head helplessly. This kind of thing also depends on the probability, and he has to admit that this thing has something to do with being black and white.It's not that I didn't work hard, it's because I was too tanned in Lingnan during this time.

The next journey was even slower. The army arrived in Shaoguan, and after replenishing food and grass, they continued to go north, while Feng An completed his mission and led the team back to Gaozhou.Before leaving, he talked with Prince Bingzhu all night. No one knew what they said, but when Feng An left, he was obviously much more energetic.

Li Tai, who had adjusted the advance of the army, determined the marching speed completely according to Yan Wan's reaction. Although the stop and go was extremely frustrating, no one in the entire army complained.One hundred guan, the King of Wei said that rewards will be distributed after returning to Chang'an.But thinking about it, it's the first time to have offspring, and everyone jumps up excitedly.

On the contrary, Li Tai enjoyed the addiction of being a commander-in-chief, and also enjoyed the feeling of being a father, but Li Chengqian was out of luck.

Because of Yan Wan's stimulation, Su Yuan seemed to be a different person. When Li Chengqian proposed it before, she had to hold back for a long time before agreeing, but now she doesn't need to ask Li Chengqian, she makes the arrangement herself, and waits for him naked at night up.

It's good to sing and sing every night, but Li Chengqian doubts whether he can carry it to Chang'an.It is really....

My back hurts!Not to mention riding a horse during the day.But it's not safe to run on the carriage, obviously he has adapted to the status of the prince of the Tang Dynasty.However.....

The idea of ​​car shock surged up, but it was not so easy to eliminate.

In the end, reason prevailed, and the absurd days lasted for less than a month. When he entered Binzhou, Li Chengqian had already gathered up his scattered desires.

Binzhou is the dividing line between Lingnan and the Central Plains. Only when you pass through Binzhou can you officially enter the scope of the Central Plains.

Going further north is Mount Heng.What made Li Chengqian speechless was that Su Yuan actually proposed to go to Hengshan Shaolin Temple to worship and offer incense.I thought that Su Yuan would be more rational under his influence, but I didn't expect that when it comes to conceiving children, women are crazy no matter what era they are.But at any rate, Su Yuan hasn't reached the point where she can worship whatever she sees.

Li Tai's letter was sent to Chang'an, which naturally shocked the empress. The emperor issued more than [-] decrees to the state capitals that might pass through on the return journey, requiring the governors of each state capital to be responsible for their own locations and not to make mistakes.

This is already chaos, but no one in the court dared to refute the emperor.Not to mention that after the emperor enshrined in Zen, his imperial prestige became more and more prosperous, even if it involved the succession of the family, they couldn't say anything.In the final analysis, although the emperor has a lot of blood, the most important ones are the two princes, King Wei.It is a good thing that the royal family has a fourth generation of blood. Although they don't want to admit it, it does have a positive effect on Datang Sheji.

As a result, the governor of Hengzhou learned that the prince was about to enter his territory, so he ran to the junction of Binzhou without hesitation, and even paid out of his own tears to let the people along the road repair the road.This is also something that can't be helped. As a remote state capital, they were the easiest to earn "official money", but the revision of the Tang law, coupled with the tax reform, made their lives uncomfortable.

The law passed by Wei Zheng can be said to be extremely harsh on one aspect of officials, and it even triggered a collective rebound from the nobles.However, these resistances were all suppressed by the emperor himself.In his opinion, Duke Wei Zheng was selfless and at the same time helped him achieve the idea of ​​checking and balancing the nobles, so it was naturally his support.

As for taxation, now even Hengzhou has a household bank. All taxation is handled by the bank, and local officials no longer take it over. It seems that there is no change, but in fact it has changed a lot.

Fortunately, the salaries and benefits of officials have been improved a lot, otherwise this official would not be able to do so.

After entering Hengzhou, he saw the governor of Hengzhou, but Li Chengqian was not surprised. He didn't exchange greetings and let him ride to his side.

"Weichen Liu Chengjiang, Inspector of Hengzhou, pay homage to His Royal Highness, Hengshan Shaolin Temple, I have already arranged for you, do you want to go directly?"

Li Chengqian looked at him in surprise and said: "How do you know that Gu wants to go to Shaolin Temple? It seems that Gu didn't send someone to inform you."

Liu Chengjiang smiled wryly and said, "For a place as big as Hengzhou, I'm afraid the Hengshan Shaolin Temple is more famous. Otherwise, why does His Highness not rest in Hengyang, but continue to go north?"

Looking back at the Hengzhou state capital that had already passed, Li Chengqian couldn't help but give the local officials a high look.

This guy is clearly prepared, if he stays in Hengyang, wouldn't it be different?

"How's the situation in Hengshan Shaolin Temple? Tell Gu about it."

What about Chapter 4 and Four?

Liu Chengjiang naturally knew that the crown prince was not asking about the scenery, so he thought for a while before saying: "To tell you the truth, the most famous thing in Hengzhou today is the Shaolin Temple. It took only two years to develop slightly. But even so, the most prosperous place in Hengzhou is still not the wharf, but Mount Heng.

Hengshan has been called Nanyue since ancient times, and since the monks built the temple, it has been continuously incensed.Not only Hengzhou, but even people from Huainan came to worship.To be honest, looking at their ever-increasing property, Wei Chen felt extremely heartbroken! "

Li Chengqian glanced at Liu Chengjiang, and saw genuine jealousy in his eyes.The majestic governor of a state is also a person with a bit of vision, so he still can't hide his envy and jealousy towards the monk.

He couldn't help being envious, and Li Chengqian was also very envious when he asked himself.Even if all the industries in the Eastern Palace are regarded as profitable industries, and there are industries with huge profits, they all need to be managed.Although temples also need to be operated, people are sitting on the ground and waiting for benefits, and there is no need to run back and forth.Of course, the most important point is that both Taoist priests and monks do not pay taxes.

Because of the particularity of temples and Taoism, even when the world is in chaos, few people are interested in temples and Taoism.Cao Cao is shameful enough, but he would rather make a fortune than do it.One is to be scolded on a large scale, and the other is to be resisted on a large scale.

It is precisely because of uninterrupted accumulation that the wealth of temples and Taoist temples has been continuously accumulated.Yuan Tiangang's small coffers are scary enough, right?This is just one on the bright side.Why can monks build houses endlessly in the three mountains and five mountains while cultivating hard?The money was not given to him by the Buddha.

"Maybe this is the case now, but when Lingnan develops, Hengzhou is waiting to make a fortune. As the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an is destined to become the center. The status of the Heluo area has not been completely suppressed by Chang'an so far. It is still the capital of the Great Tang. The focus of commercial exchanges in Tang Dynasty. If Lingnan goods want to be distributed throughout the Tang Dynasty, these two places are the first choice. It is better to go by sea, but the distance is far away. So, in the future, Lingnan will go to Chang'an and Heluo area, and it will be fast. Develop river transport and even land transport.

Hengyang is close to the Xiangjiang River, and the water transportation alone is enough to support him to stand out in the border of the Central Plains.Liu Chengjiang, if Hengzhou can develop in your hands, your official career will not stop there! "
