Don't be a prince

The general's small armor has been successfully produced. Although wearing such a full-body armor is a bit bulky, there will not be any major problems in fighting with the Sword of Ritual.

After putting on their armors, Changsun Chong and Li Chengqian stood still at a distance amidst the students' screams.

After exchanging salutes, Li Chengqian pulled out his Yi sword and said seriously: "Cousin, don't let me go on purpose!"

Changsun Chong nodded. He didn't dare to let go of Li Chengqian, who worked hard all day long.

Because it was a competition, the two didn't step forward immediately, but looked at each other, thinking about how to do it.

The weight of Tang's chain mail is still very influential to Li Chengqian.I am used to practicing with light clothes and thin belts, but today I felt a bit strenuous to put on the armor.

Looking at the prince's constantly moving limbs, Chang Sun Chong immediately understood that he was getting used to the feeling of wearing armor.If you don't take advantage of it now, when will you wait?

Pointing forward with the long sword, Chang Sun Chong moved first without hesitation.

The armor that made Li Chengqian feel burdened was the same as ordinary clothes on Chang Sun Chong's body, and he ran without any appearance of being burdened.

Seeing that he was completely crushed in terms of speed, Li Chengqian had no choice but to brake silently, waiting for Changsun Chong to get close.

Ding!

When the Yi swords intersected, there was a crisp sound.

The next moment, the two long swords were coming and going, and the collision of attack and block began.

After more than [-] collisions, Changsun Chong seized a gap and stabbed Li Chengqian's breastplate with a sword.

Even Li Chengqian couldn't hold back the sword with all his strength, and retreated repeatedly after being stabbed.

"My cousin is amazing, I admit defeat."

Standing still, Li Chengqian generously admitted defeat.

Continuing on, it is also a pattern of offense and defense. If you defend for a long time, you will lose. He who can only defend passively has no probability of victory at all.

Chang Sunchong smiled, and after cupping his hands, he moved his fingers off the field and called Chai Zhewei up.

After taking off his armor, Li Chengqian sat on a chair and acted as a referee.

Chai Zhewei and Zhang Sunchong are about the same age, and the two have contacts with each other, and the fighting is extraordinarily exciting and intense.

His gaze shifted from the two people fighting to the students howling wantonly off the field, and then to a new face outside.

Li Chengqian looked left and right, and poked Fang Sheng standing on his right, who was ready to fly out of the field with a weapon at any time.

"Fang Sheng, who is this person? I have almost recognized all the people who studied in Chongwen Museum, but this is the first time I have seen this face."

Fang Sheng craned his neck to take a look, thought for a while before he suddenly realized, and reported: "His Royal Highness, this man is Feng Zhidai, the second son of Gaozhou Governor and Geng Guogong Feng An. The officials of the government all reported that Feng An was rebellious. His Majesty was furious and wanted to send troops, which was blocked by Zheng Gong and Wei Zheng. In October, Feng An sent his son Feng Zhidai to serve the emperor in order to show his heart. up.

However, the old slave heard that he had been guarded in Taipingfang, and for some reason, he actually came to the East Palace. "

Feng Zhidai...

Li Chengqian touched his chin.

If Feng Zhidai doesn't understand, he doesn't understand, but his bully father Feng An, it's too much not to know.Fastest update../ ../

Feng An, the governor of Gaozhou, the grandson of Mrs. Xian, the Tu Emperor of Lingnan.At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Lingnan also fell into war. Feng An used all the power of the Feng family to stabilize most of Lingnan.

As a place of exile for officials, Lingnan is a nightmare place in the eyes of the Central Plains people.The streams, swamps, and forests in the south have become the most solid barrier, so that the Central Plains' control of Lingnan has always been intermittent.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, someone persuaded Feng An to learn from Zhao Tuo in the Han Dynasty, support his own troops, separate himself from one side, and establish himself as king. As a result, Feng An said: "My family has lived in Baiyue for five generations, and the land under the jurisdiction of the prefects and counties is only mine. I have the same surname, I have children and treasures, and there are few people like me who are rich in the world. I am often afraid that I will not be able to bear the heavy burden and make the ancestors suffer humiliation. How dare I follow Zhao Tuo's example and become king?"

After repelling those who made suggestions, Feng An continued to stabilize Lingnan until he returned to Wude in five years, and was named the governor of Gaozhou and Duke Geng.

From Li Chengqian's point of view, a hero who refuses the temptation to become a king and spares no effort to maintain the integrity of the Tang's territorial lord (river crab) cannot be praised too much.

1Chapter 16 The Thing That Jumps Around

Noticing the prince's gaze, Feng Zhidai straightened his clothes before walking over.

Bending down to salute, Feng Zhidai's voice with a local accent sounded: "Feng Zhidai, a man from the mountains, has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Chengqian scratched his head helplessly: "Feng Zhidai, a man from the mountains, what is this title? I know you, Mrs. Xian's great-grandson. Just based on this identity, you call yourself, it is very wrong. Knowing that you are taking the initiative Lower your status to avoid being attacked in Chang'an. However, you don't have to, the misunderstanding between Guochao and Lingnan is a joke. When this joke is over, you can go back to Lingnan."

Feng Zhidai didn't expect the prince's first words to be so profound.Moreover, he also showed enough respect to his great-grandmother.

You know, since he arrived in Chang'an, he has never been looked down upon.People in the Central Plains all thought that the Lingnan people were barren land on earth, and the people who lived there must also be wild people in the mountains.Intentionally or not, he could always hear some low-level officials talking about him.

Before the Shangyuan Festival, he had been guarded in a mansion in Taipingfang.Although food, clothing and housing are not treated harshly, the range of walking is limited to this mansion.It wasn't until yesterday that the emperor issued an imperial decree. In addition to lifting his walking restrictions, he was also allowed to study in Chongwen Hall.

Although he is already the father of two children, Feng Zhidai is still obsessed with the culture of the Central Plains, especially learning.

Originally, when he entered the East Palace today, he was already prepared to be ridiculed.As a result, unexpectedly, he got a very fair evaluation the moment he met the prince.This was rarely seen in the past.

The great-grandmother Mrs. Xian is indeed a spiritual leader in Lingnan, but in the Central Plains, not many people respect her.

With a respectful salute reaching the ground, Feng Zhidai didn't say anything, but Li Chengqian saw a smile in his eyes.

Cheng Chusi and others were still fighting there, so Li Chengqian invited Feng Zhidai to visit the Chongwen Museum first.

Li Chengqian was not surprised that people in their 30s came to school with a group of young people and young children.When I heard it in the morning, I could die in the evening.Even in later generations, there are still some nouveau riche who entered some universities to re-study, not to mention the Tang Dynasty, where knowledge is priceless.

The crazy students don't need to worry about it. They put more emphasis on eating than studying in the East Palace, and it is absolutely impossible for them to forget the breakfast time.

After visiting the classroom lounge and office, Li Chengqian took Feng Zhidai into the cafeteria.

There are already two Li Gang and Yu Shinan eating in the cafeteria.

Although the two are 20 years apart in age, it does not prevent them from establishing friendship with each other.

Seeing Li Chengqian walking in with a guy with a fluttering beard behind him, Li Gang couldn't help asking: "Chengqian, is this your majesty's new commander?"

Li Chengqian shook his head, and introduced: "Two gentlemen, this is Feng Zhidai, the son of Feng An from Lingnan, who came to Chang'an last year, and his father ordered him to study in Chongwen Hall."

"Feng Zhidai, these two are our gentlemen, Li Gang, the prince and grand teacher, and Yu Shinan, the secretary and young supervisor."

Feng Zhidai hurriedly saluted on the spot, terrified.

"Feng Zhidai from Lingnan, I have met the two gentlemen. People from the wilderness, who have been studying for three years, I hope the two gentlemen will not make jokes."

Although I don't know much about these two, just looking at their official positions, they must be well-educated.

Surprisingly, Yu Shinan put down his chopsticks and stood up, helping Feng Zhidai himself.

After Feng Zhidai got up, Yu Shinan said solemnly: "Forget about the title of Man of the Wilderness, no matter your great-grandmother, Mrs. Xian, or your father, Feng An, their contributions to the Tang Dynasty are beyond the ordinary. Yes. The communication between Lingnan and the Central Plains has been blocked since ancient times. Although some criminals were exiled there, it is still not enough to pass on the knowledge of the Central Plains. And what about studying in Li Zhinian, as you are, I definitely welcome you, and you dare not hide your secrets! "

Li Gang smiled and said to Feng Zhidai: "You, you, what's wrong with being from Lingnan, you don't need to be so cautious. Your great-grandmother is Mrs. Xian, and your father is Feng An. You can stand proudly on the street Shout out from above. Some humble people don't know the contribution your Feng family has made to Lingnan, but learned people are very clear.

Don't pay attention to the theory of protons, the Feng family rebelled?The old man would rather believe that the sun comes out from the west.The old man didn't ask where you were before, but since you have come to the East Palace, the crown prince and the old man will help you.Don't be cautious, just treat this place as your home. "

Looking at the serious and kind old gentleman, Feng Zhidai was pleasantly surprised.

Since arriving in Chang'an, he has never been treated like this, except for the official named Tang Jian from Honglu Temple.

After glancing at Feng Zhidai, Li Chengqian smiled wryly.

Nowadays, people in Tang Dynasty generally perceive Lingnan as a barren land, so it is reasonable to put the mark of "barbarism" on the people there.Poor Feng Zhidai couldn't get decent treatment in Chang'an.

There is actually a legitimate reason for Feng An's refusal to come to court.

Around the first year of Zhenguan, it was the time when Feng An and Tan Dian were in the dark, and the battle situation was critical, so naturally they couldn't separate themselves.However, the emperor's father actually believed the local officials' memorial and wanted to send troops to Lingnan...Recommended reading../../

Mostly because they thought that Feng An couldn't come here, and it was because he felt that his position was not right.

Although the matter of Xuanwu Sect actually happened, what happened during that period of time also became the emperor's rebellion, and he was angry immediately.

Today's breakfast in the cafeteria is millet porridge and egg-filled biscuits.

After inviting Feng Zhidai to his seat, Li Chengqian helped him fetch a breakfast.

Sometimes, a thing is called taboo because not enough people do it.

Li Gang was taught by Li Chengqian to chat while eating, while Yu Shinan, who was serious and upright, was taught by the old man to break away from the ancient teachings.

Older people have a rich past, so after meeting Feng Zhidai, the two always asked Zhang Sanla and Li Sila how they were doing in Lingnan.

As the place where the Central Plains exiled criminal officials, Lingnan did not know how many people from the Central Plains were sent there.Everyone thought that Lingnan was a place of smog, and they would die if they went there, but in fact, there were still a few hard-fated people who survived.

As long as the criminals in the Central Plains are not killed by the climate and mosquitoes, they can easily become the seats of various families in Lingnan, including the Feng family.

After learning that a friend of his who was exiled to Lingnan because of his blunt speeches in the previous dynasty is still alive and well, Yu Shinan happily drank a big mouthful of porridge as a celebration.

Li Chengqian was very interested in such a conversation, but due to his lack of historical knowledge, he had no idea which name the two old gentlemen were reading.

After barely finishing breakfast, seeing that Qin Huaidao and others had finished their morning exercises and came over to eat after washing, Li Chengqian was about to leave.

These bastards, sweating profusely after morning exercise, didn't go to wash, just came over with grunts, the strong smell of sweat can make people stumble.

Seeing the bastards entering the arena, Li Gang and Yu Shinan hurriedly finished their meal and fled.

After leaving the cafeteria, Li Gang turned the wheelchair around twice, caught up with Li Chengqian, and said, "The old man asked you for leave. You don't have to attend classes in Chongwen Hall for a while. As for what you want to do, you can do it yourself." Should be clear."

Yu Shinan followed and gave Li Chengqian a firm look.If the prince is not good at learning, he will definitely not agree to let the prince do his own thing.What made him change his mind was the reading notes that Li Gang showed him.

Some of the impressions written down by the prince after reading the book seem to be unconstrained, but in fact they are very reasonable after careful study.Right now the progress of the Chongwen Museum is very slow, continuing to attend classes is wasting the prince's time.

Li Chengqian gave the old gentleman a grateful look, and walked out of the Chongwen Museum with brisk steps after bowing his hands and saluting.

Now is the season when the grass grows and the warblers fly. What is speechless is that from the New Year until now, there is still no snow. The apricot blossom rain that should be annoying is just turning around in Guanzhong. , and left quietly.

This year's locust plague is unavoidable.

When the imperial court held a grand ceremony for farming, many grain merchants gathered together to drink, and even drunk one or two to death in excitement.They silently watched the people farming happily, but they were thinking about the cruelest thing in their hearts.

Since doing business is to humiliate their ancestors, they simply put aside their pretense and returned to the essence of cold-blooded businessmen.

The letter sent to the palace received a reply.

The emperor's father allowed him to go out of the palace, but in addition to having more than five hundred bodyguards with him, he also had to bring Wei Zheng.

When he was exercising in the morning, he learned what Wei Zheng had done during this period of time from Li Jing.

Above the court, Wei Zheng openly accused some high-ranking officials and big families of hoarding food, intending to hoard the goods for nothing.But fortunately, he still knew the pros and cons, and didn't directly say anything about the locust plague.After all, there are still a few people who have predictions now.

It is really the emperor's helpless move to send Wei Zheng away from the court.Although what happened to the locust plague was already certain, he would rather face it when it really happened than announce it in advance and cause panic.Wei Zheng, who was always jumping up and down in the hall, was like an unstable fuse.Instead of letting him cause trouble, it's better to give him a job out of Beijing and drive him away from afar.

It is not difficult to find Wei Zheng's house, as long as he knows that it is in Xinghuafang.

As long as you find the "Wei Mansion" in front of the door, and it looks a bit dilapidated compared with the surrounding area.

Wei Zheng is a person who looks the same on the outside, what he is in the court is what he is in real life.Unlike some officials, when they went to court, they wore mended patches, and when they entered the mansion, especially after entering the backyard, they resumed their rich and noble life with big bowls of wine and big mouthfuls of meat.

The dilapidated mansion gate, even some of the copper nails on it fell off.The two stone lions at the door are not lions, and there is only one body with four claws left. Can it be called a lion?

Entering with the prince's greeting card, when entering the side door, the side door moved a little, and Yu Tai just pushed it with his hand, and there was a tooth-piercing creaking sound.It's not that there are no servants in Wei Zheng's house, it's just that he didn't deliberately arrange a doorman.

As a character hated by the emperor, guarded by all officials, and scattered by evil spirits, Wei Zheng didn't think that there would be a few people visiting his home anyway.

When the crown prince visits, even Wei Zheng must follow the etiquette, bring a guard of honor, and open the front door to greet him.

After not seeing him for a while, Wei Zheng lost some weight again, and his faint dark circles showed that he didn't sleep very well in the past few nights.

"His Royal Highness, I don't know why you came to Weichen's mansion?"

Li Chengqian stepped out of the carriage and did not get down, directly inviting him: "Gu is going to take a stroll outside the city, which coincides with Dr. Wei's mission, so I specially invite you to go with me."

Wei Zheng was relieved that the prince did not enter the mansion.Because today's Wei Mansion is not so much a residence as a granary.

Over the years, although they have been helping the common people, some rewards cannot be sold at will.Therefore, Wei Zheng will not end up poor.

This year is different. Ever since he heard the news of the locust plague, Wei Zheng decisively took out all the royal rewards, sold them at a high price, and then robbed the grain with the grain merchants.If you enter the Wei Mansion at this time, you can see that all the buildings in the front yard have been demolished and converted into granaries.

Without changing his clothes, Wei Zheng got into the carriage in his ordinary clothes.

It is better to keep a low profile when patrolling the countryside.Although the crown prince's robes are handsome, they are also the best attractor of artillery fire.

Five hundred guards led by the crown prince changed their armor and bought several carts.The sacks on the car are filled with dry branches, which are not heavy and can also be used to hide horizontal knives.The style of the horizontal knife is no different from that of a wooden staff. Only when the spring is pressed and pulled out, will it evolve into a murderous weapon.

More than 500 people who forcibly disguised themselves as a caravan left Chang'an and entered Wanmin County.

Different from the desolation in the past, since all the refugees came out of the mountains and became naturalized, the land around Chang'an has been well distributed.If it wasn't for the locust plague, the instruction to gather the refugees at this time should have been issued to all the land in Datang.

The carriage drove past a wheat field, and Li Chengqian and Wei Zheng lifted the curtain on one side and looked at the people working in the field.

Simple farmers with smiles on their faces, farming with sweat.This was originally a good picture scroll, but because of the inevitable locust plague, this picture scroll seems a bit cruel.

Stopping at an uncultivated land, Li Chengqian jumped out of the carriage, pulled out the branches from the guards' carriage, and pulled the haystack.

The next moment, there was a large group of small things jumping around in the grass, which was extraordinarily cheerful.

Watching the locust nymphs flee with a gloomy face, Wei Zheng seemed to be able to squeeze water out of his face.

There are so many grasses in any place, and it is estimated that there will not be much difference in other places.
