Don't be a prince

Li Gang clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, your remarks are enough to be written. It's just Chengqian, the old man heard that when King Wei fell into the water, you first guarded him and jumped into the water to save him. What kind of bravery do you think? ?”

Li Chengqian smiled, sat next to the old man, poured a cup of tea for the old man, and said: "My disciple thinks this is a kind of bravery. For Xiaoyong, it means that the blood is on the top. When you see your brother falling into the water, you don't care and jump down. But Knowing how much you weigh, and jumping down when you are sure that both of you can be rescued, is brave! Also called, courageous and resourceful?"

Li Gang laughed loudly, and reached out to pat Li Chengqian on the shoulder.

Li Chengqian knew that this was a concern of the old man.When he heard the news, he probably thought that he was just in a moment of anxiety, and jumped down to save people foolishly.For this reason, "What is courage" is used as the beginning of the reunion of master and apprentice after a long absence.

"You can dive into the water to save people knowing that you know, the old man can rest assured. By the way, the old man heard that Wang Jian was exiled and died. He probably has something to do with Li Ke, the king of Shu. Boy, have you seen the battle of the crown prince?

Li Ke is the child of Concubine Yang, with the blood of the Sui and Tang dynasties, those veteran officials at the end of the Sui Dynasty were born to be close to him.Although Concubine Yang had no intention of seizing the reserve and had rebuked Sui officials many times, even if she and Li Ke had no intentions, the people below would do it if they wanted to.This time it's King Wei Li Tai, next time it might be you, the prince! "

Li Chengqian smiled awkwardly, unable to refute.

Just like Zhao Kuangyin was criticized for the yellow robe, in many cases, the actions of the superiors are not completely controlled by themselves.As long as there is interest, the red-eyed careerist doesn't mind being inferior to others.There are long-term and huge benefits, and they don't mind betting their lives and taking risks.Remember in one second on the mobile phone → .B\\.\ provides you with wonderful novels to read.

Numerous historical examples have shown that the throne, like a flame, is always full of temptation, and can always attract a large number of moths scrambling to rush over, even if they die without complaint.

After drinking the tea, the old gentleman took out a piece of black stuff, handed it to Li Chengqian, and said with a smile: "The rice dumplings you send to my husband's house are not as delicious as those made by my grandson's daughter-in-law at 01:30. Coincidentally, the old man also prepared a return gift for you, this piece of good ink was won by the old man in a bet, so I will give it to you."

Bestowed by the elders, dare not resign.What's more, the elders will not be rewarded by the younger generation. Li Chengqian knew that the old man was looking for an excuse to give him something.

Just when he was about to practice calligraphy, Li Chengqian took this piece of ink and practiced calligraphy directly.

He has almost copied the old man's handwriting.It's just that when he imitated [-]% to [-]% of the time, the old man stopped writing copybooks for him, but let him practice by himself.

Practicing handwriting, blindly imitating is just counterproductive. If you want to write good handwriting, you must form a unique style.

I have to say that the ink that the old man sent was really good, and the written characters were pitch black and shiny, without the slightest hint of seeing through the paper.

At noon, the desire to have dinner with the old man was in vain.

Following Ziyan, Li Chengqian entered the harem with a face of reluctance.

Although nothing happened to Li Tai who fell into the water, he was the one who proposed the idea of ​​playing the boat.In any case, at least a scolding will not escape.

The Hall of Liangyi still looked the same, but Li Chengqian, who was in a nervous mood, only felt that the tall hall door was like a gluttonous mouth, and wanted to swallow him in.

There is no way not to be nervous!

He is a human being in two lifetimes, but this is the first time he will face scolding from his parents. It would be a lie to say that he is not nervous.

As soon as he entered the Hall of Liangyi, a chubby figure rushed over from the side and hugged his arm.

This tonnage is undoubtedly Li Tai.

"The blue sparrow..."

Just as Li Chengqian was about to say something, he heard Li Tai whispering: "Don't worry, the emperor helped you to bear the responsibility of the crime, how about it, is it enough loyalty?"

Chapter 113 Xiaocheng

Seeing Li Tai's complacent look, Li Chengqian was worried.This kid thinks he can fool anything.

However, with him around, he was no longer so nervous.

When the two brothers entered the main hall, they didn't dare to lift their eyes too high.

Finally seeing a pair of shoes and skirts, Li Chengqian knelt down helplessly, and said, "Father, Queen Mother, and my ministers came to plead guilty. Yesterday's Xianchi boat race was actually planned by my ministers, and has nothing to do with Qingque."

"No, no, it's the child who pestered the emperor to play with the boat. Father and mother, the fault is Qing Que! Don't blame the emperor, okay?"

As soon as Li Chengqian admitted it, Li Tai immediately became anxious. He had already compiled it before, so why did the prince and emperor still admit it!

After slapping Li Tai, Li Chengqian said helplessly, "Okay, Qingque, you can't take the blame just because Brother Huang saved you, idiot."

Li Tai: "What nonsense are you talking about, Brother Huang, you forgot that I'm bullying you..."

...

"Pfft..."×2

Looking at the two sons who excused each other and pleaded guilty, the originally stern-faced Li Shimin and Empress Changsun couldn't help laughing.

Standing up to help his son, the eldest grandson said with a smile: "Okay, the queen mother and your father didn't plan to punish you. Chengqian, the queen mother is very happy. Although the news of you falling into the water shocked us, but I heard that you ignored the danger. Diving into the water to save Qingque, do you know how happy the queen mother is?"

Li Shimin also stood up and walked in front of his two sons, each of them gave a dragon claw: "Don't mess around like this next time!"

Li Chengqian and Li Tai quickly agreed.

I thought I was going to be dealt with, but I didn't expect that it was just a slap for one person, and it didn't hurt or itch.

Under the guidance of the eldest grandson, the two brothers sat down.

Li Shimin did not return to the first place, but walked slowly in front of Li Chengqian, and asked: "Chengqian, I have found out that the person who pushed the blue bird into the water was someone from Concubine Yang's palace, the official who ordered this matter behind the scenes, I have already dealt with it. Now, tell me how to deal with Concubine Yang and Li Ke? As far as I know, if you were in that position yesterday, she would have pushed you."

The cup I picked up almost fell to the ground.

Holding the tea, Li Chengqian did not expect that the emperor's father would come to ask him.

The eyes of the emperor's father in front of him were so scorching that Li Chengqian didn't dare to look at him.

How to deal with it?How else to deal with it?From the point of view of the prince, it should be eliminated quickly, but from the point of view of the brothers...

Putting the teacup back on the table, Li Chengqian took a deep breath, raised his head to meet Li Shimin's scorching gaze, and said firmly: "Although this matter is related to them, they are not the ones who gave the order. Speaking of this matter, Concubine Yang and Li Ke were also victims. Although Qingque and Hai'er were in danger, they were not injured. If they are convicted because of this, it will be difficult to convince the public." First release.....

Li Shimin didn't look away, but kept staring into his son's eyes.

Li Chengqian didn't retreat either, and looked at Li Shimin frankly.

After a long time, Li Shimin nodded and smiled: "Sure enough, it is the choice you will make. If this is the case, I will not punish Concubine Yang and Li Ke. It's just Chengqian. If you are in the future because of today's kindness, What should I do if I regret it?"

Li Chengqian naturally knew what this meant: "If you regret it, just take that regret and make up your mind!"

Nodding in satisfaction, although he didn't hear any murderous intent from this sentence, but at least now, Li Shimin knows that his prince's son is not simply soft-hearted.

Patting the shoulders of the two brothers, Li Shimin said: "In that case, you should go to Li Ke. I heard that Master Li has returned to the East Palace. Your studies can't be wasted because of this."

Hearing that his father said that he could go to Li Ke, Li Tai immediately smiled, and pulled Li Chengqian away from the Hall of Liangyi.

Looking at the backs of the two children bouncing away, Li Shimin sighed: "Zhen, why don't there be such brothers!"

Whether it was Li Jiancheng or Li Yuanji, Li Shimin didn't feel like a brother or brother from them.Among all the brothers and sisters, only Princess Pingyang Zhao is truly congenial with him.

However, the Sri Lankan has passed away, and even some warm memories have become memories, which are slowly fading away.

The eldest grandson took Li Shimin's hand from the side: "The past is over, don't you look at Chengqian and Qingque, isn't it great? Whether Chengqian is diving or confessing just now, he always looks like an elder brother. Like Wang, brother Jingye, although we have experienced it, as long as our children can do well, there is no need to be sad."

Holding the eldest grandson's hand behind his back, a smile finally appeared on Li Shimin's face.The similar early experience is also one of the reasons why he has always been in love with his eldest grandson.

Although the eldest grandson is no longer as youthful and beautiful as before, Li Shimin just likes the warmth when they are together.

Feeling the warmth of his big hand, the eldest grandson chuckled: "You can't stay here tonight. Concubine Yang might be worried if something like this happened. It's better to go to her to deal with the memorial and stay here .You too, spend half of a month here, as the master of the harem, how can you dote on my concubine alone! "

Li Shimin smiled slightly, let go of his grandson's hand, ordered the accompanying eunuchs to carry the memorial, and walked towards Concubine Yang.

Early morning of the next day—in front of Mingde Gate of Donggong Palace

Belonging to the prince's sword training device, there was already an identical set.Li Chengqian was not the only one who practiced sword, Li Ke was also there.

In terms of persistence, Li Ke is not inferior to Li Chengqian at all. The wooden stake with thick arms has been cut by him with a half-deep sword mark during this period of time.

A sword was inserted into the stake, Li Chengqian heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at Li Jing on the other side.

During this time, under his constant thrusts, a quarter of the stake had been removed.

With the improvement of his accuracy, perhaps within a few months, the broken stake will be cut to half the length Li Jing requested.

Li Jing nodded in satisfaction. Although he already had an impression when he was practicing the horizontal cut, seeing that the crown prince never slacked off from the beginning to the end, he was still moved by his persistence.

Sometimes, if the sword was too slow or not strong enough, Li Chengqian simply withdrew the sword and stabbed again when the posture was standard next time.As for the other wooden stake for practicing chopping, four or five of them have already been replaced.

Work hard and you will achieve your goal.The more you work hard, the faster you will reach your goal.

Li Chengqian explained this truth well with his own actions.

"Your Highness, you've already mastered the art of swordsmanship. What's left is nothing more than practice and actual combat. The sword is like this, swinging, stabbing, slashing, slashing, and blocking. Even if you are a minister, there is nothing you can do. I got the pointer. When our agreement is reached, what will the prince plan to practice next?"

What are you practicing?Then there is no need to think about it?

"Naturally it's fighting, no, it's naturally boxing!"

Chapter 114

Swordsmanship and so on are secondary. People sleep with their swords in their arms when they can't sleep, don't they?

The thing that can improve combat ability the most is fist and kick kung fu.

Li Jing seemed to know that his answer would be this, so he said without even thinking: "Since Your Highness wants to practice boxing and kicking kung fu, although I can teach you, but I can't teach it to the extreme. I suggest that Your Highness should go to Lu Guogong or E Duke Guo, the boxing skills of the two of them are the best in Tang Dynasty.

Right now, His Highness's swordsmanship has almost the basics that can be laid, what is lacking is only vigor.And these need His Highness to grow up slowly.This is the case with swordsmanship. If you have a good foundation, you can achieve a small success. If you want to achieve great success, you need to have the opponent to constantly hone it. "

"Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong?"

Li Chengqian did not expect that Li Jing actually recommended these two people. According to him, there is no way to make progress in sword practice, and he should use this time to learn other aspects.

Do you still want to be a teacher?

Li Jing smiled slightly and said, "Even if Your Highness goes to His Majesty, His Majesty will give you the same answer. Although I don't dare to claim to be the number one swordsman in the Tang Dynasty, there are few people who can compare with my hands and feet. Kungfu, whether it is Lu Guogong or E Guogong, are top-notch, and there is only one Langya County bull Jinda who can compare with them."

Niu Jinda?

After thinking for a while, Li Chengqian remembered who this was.Cheng Yaojin's iron buddy, the prototype character of "You Junda" in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.Although he failed to become the Duke of the State like Cheng Yaojin, his status as the Duke of the Founding County is not weak.

Compared with Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong, Niu Jinda is much more low-key. If he is his teacher, it should be much better.

Cheng Yaojin's character, if he becomes the master of the prince, he will probably become even more arrogant in the court.Although Yu Chigong is not bad, but this guy is his father's loyal pawn, so it's not appropriate for him to try to win him over as a teacher.

Just Niu Jinda!

"Wei Gong, I think General Niu is more suitable, can you introduce me?"

Li Jing smiled slightly: "Niu Jinda? I didn't expect the crown prince to choose him instead, but whatever, after tomorrow's morning exercise, the old man will take His Royal Highness to visit the Niu Mansion."

Watching Li Jing leave, Li Chengqian put the sword back into the scabbard and stretched his body for a while.

When exercising, I always feel that Li Ke is watching me.

Knowing that this guy had something to say, Li Chengqian walked towards Li Ke while stretching.

After stretching, Li Chengqian took the towel handed over by Li Ke, and said with a smile: "Speak up if you have something to say, what's wrong with Brother Huang?"

Li Ke lowered his head, thought for a long time, and then said with difficulty: "Brother Emperor, can you lend me some money, it will be Mother's birthday in a few days. Although I want to buy a gift for Mother, those of us The number of cases is really a bit small. Among us brothers, you have the most money."

After finishing speaking, Li Ke raised his head and looked at Li Chengqian nervously.

It took him enough courage to say such a thing.

Wiping off his sweat and throwing the towel to Fang Sheng, Li Chengqian smiled: "I thought it was something, borrowing money, easy to say. But, Li Ke, you should know that there is no free lunch in this world , If you want to borrow money, Brother Huang can lend it to you, but how are you going to repay the money?"

Li Ke said without hesitation: "From now on, I will hand over all my monthly allowances to Brother Huang. Although the repayment will be slow, I can always pay it off!"

"Oh, it looks like you're going to borrow a lot of money!"

Li Chengqian actually supported Li Ke's opening to borrow money.It's a big improvement to be able to speak to my brother bravely.If it was the former Li Ke, he would not have spoken to him even if he was starved to death.

Brothers are like this. When you need help, it is only natural to speak up.Mobile terminal../

Li Ke became anxious immediately. He knew that in his own case, it would indeed take a lot of time to pay back the money.However, right now, he has no other choice but to borrow money from the prince and brother.

No longer teasing this nervous kid, Li Chengqian stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, okay, Brother Huang is teasing you. How about this, starting tomorrow, after class, you can work with the servants of the Eastern Palace. Every day Count your two pennies, how about it?"

Work with servants?

Li Ke thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, in this case, I would like to borrow two hundred guan, brother emperor, is it possible?"

Pointing to Fang Sheng, Li Chengqian said: "In the afternoon, Fang Sheng will prepare two hundred guan for you, and you can ask him directly. But, Li Ke, have you really thought about it? You are a prince , Your majesty! Don't you think I'm insulting you?"

Li Ke cupped his hands and said calmly: "If you didn't say two pennies a day, I really thought you were insulting me. However, two pennies, such a price, is really too high. Although I don't know Brother Huang, why did you arrange it like this, but you must not be insulting me!"

Patting Li Ke on the shoulder again, Li Chengqian left Mingdemen with a smile.

Both agreed to borrow money and asked him to earn money through labor, to let him know that there is no free lunch in this world.

What people want is more meaningful only if they get it with their own hands.

Early the next morning.

After the morning exercise, Li Chengqian got into Li Jing's carriage.

Five hundred guards guarded the carriage, and the front end left the East Palace in the prince's guard of honor.Because it is an official visit, guards of honor are essential.
