Tang Dynasty Never Night

Li Xian ran back to the palace angrily. He returned to the palace with his front foot, and Zheng Qi leisurely came over with his back foot, bringing a bow along the way.

"What are you running for? Isn't it just for you to exercise? After all, you are also the governor of Yangzhou, so you are too poor at it. How about you?"

Li Xian squinted at him: "I'm very sorry, I just need to sit in command and not go all out."

Zheng Qi was annoyed and amused by his bullshit: "I think your skin is really itchy."

Li Xian snorted very boldly, turned his head and walked away with great backbone, Zheng Qi didn't care about him and just followed behind him, and then... saw Li Xian took out a very special bow.

In fact, this bow is no different from ordinary bows. They are all small bows for hunting. The difference is that there is an extra thing on the top of the bow, which is a wooden stick at a ninety-degree angle to the entire bow body. A hollow circular wooden circle, it is not accurate to say that it is a wooden circle, because there is still a gap at the top of the wooden circle.

"What is this?" Zheng Qi walked over and touched that thing lightly.

"Aimer."

Zheng Qi didn't use Li Xian's explanation that he understood the purpose of this thing when he heard the name. Zheng Qi took this bow and tried it out. To be honest, this slightly bow is not suitable for him - the power is too small. He can easily pull to the full moon.

Zheng Qi experimented and found that this thing is still very useful. Although there is a little error due to the position, it is already very good.

"Is this the way you came up with?" Zheng Qi put down the bow in his hand and returned it to Li Xian.

Li Xian nodded honestly. His aim is too bad. It is impossible not to cheat. To be honest, he wanted to get a sight or something, but the glass workshop has been confiscated. He probably can't get it if he wants to. Come out, can only give up with regret.

After hearing Li Xian finished speaking, Zheng Qi just asked: "If it's made of glass... where do you want to put it?"

After Li Xian heard this, he was stunned for a moment, yes, if he really got out the sight, even if it wasn't an infrared one, the size would not be small, there is no room for a bow to put this thing.It will definitely be inconvenient if you really let it go, and you have to be careful not to damage it.

But, the bow, no, what about the crossbow?Li Xian recalled that he still wanted to improve the crossbow. The crossbow was relatively large, and it was not impossible to add a device. The only thing he needed to worry about was where to add it and how to add it.

Li Xian thought about it and mentioned it to Zheng Qi, and after Zheng Qi heard it, he just said: "You can talk to the saint lady after your idea is more complete."

Li Xian didn't quite understand what Li Xian said in many places. Zheng Qi knew that Li Xian remembered it suddenly, so he asked Li Xian to improve it.

As a result, after he finished speaking, he saw Li Xian's already long face wrinkled into a bun again: "General, please forgive me, I'm already very busy, and I really don't have the energy to do this again."

Tax reform, shipbuilding, he has already opened enough dungeons. Although it is not a single game, he does not have so much energy to do so many copies at the same time.

"Just know what you have in mind." Zheng Qi didn't mean to force Li Xian. After all, Datang is now a little more stable, except that the remnants of Goguryeo have not been cleaned up safely, and the relationship with Silla is slightly tense. It's all good, there is no need to worry about transforming weapons.

Then... Zheng Qi used this day to conduct special training for Li Xian. From the fixed target to the moving target, Li Xian's results were horrible from the beginning to the later...still horrible. I feel that Zheng Qi himself has to give up on Li Xian. of training.

Li Xian squeezed his sore arm, and couldn't help but feel a little frustrated seeing Zheng Qi's helpless face. Zheng Qi saw Li Xian's dejected look, and couldn't help but walked over and pinched his ear and said, "Forget it." , you're doing pretty well."

? ? ?Li Xian looked up at him blankly.

"When you can't hunt, then don't go, just relax with the saint lady." Not all princes have high military strength, Li Xian is also very good, Zheng Qi has been keenly aware of Li Honghe Li Xian taught all kinds of subtleties to his family's gods, and it is also good for Li Xian's low force value.

Li Xian felt that Zheng Qi was obviously trying to comfort him, but... since Zheng Qi said that it was all right, he could just have fun and forget about everything else, and just waited to set off.

As a result, it took three days for the departure. For a large-scale event such as winter hunting, the relevant departments have to prepare early, and the places passing by along the way must be arranged. The hunting grounds in Ye County must also be arranged, as well as the guard of honor for the saint and lady. Crown Princess, Pei Wang, and Princess Pei, this series of ceremonial guards for dignitaries is very troublesome.

Since being tired of being with Li Xian that day, he didn't have much time to meet Zheng Qi in the next few days. Zheng Qi is the commander of the guards. Although he is only responsible for protecting the royal family, various things come one after another. , not even much time to rest.

Li Xian: Then how did he find Zheng Qi so easily on the day he came back?

It’s not that Zheng Yan knew you well, so he ran to the duty room early to wait. Li Xian didn't dare to relax at all, what's even worse was that he couldn't see Zheng Qi at all!That's right, he couldn't see each other when he was in Yangzhou, but the feeling of not being able to meet people when they are close at hand is different from the feeling of being unable to see each other thousands of miles away.

Li Xian originally thought that he would be so bored before he arrived in Ye County, and when he was thinking about whether to go and play with Li Lun and the little princess, the crown prince and King Pei didn't know what was going on, so they invited him over at the same time Talk about life.

The two came here together, Li Xian looked at the two servants who basically wanted to die, he would rather stay by himself than this.

However, they were all waiting for his reply. He couldn't continue pretending to be dead, so he could only refuse Li Xian's invitation to go to Li Hong's. ... No matter how stupid Li Xian is, he would never do such an obvious off-putting thing.

It's just...it's such a coincidence that he can't help but want to doubt it, but...the prince and King Pei probably don't have such a free time, so they decided to tease him?

The Crown Prince’s frame is much better than that of the Prince’s, and it’s very spacious. When Li Xian passed by, he had prepared snacks and tea there. Oh, the Prince’s side has tea, and Li Xian’s side has prepared it for him very thoughtfully. White water.

Li Xian always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.Prince Li Hong's attitude today is very kind, from poetry to philosophy of life, but... this kind of conversation is too painful, he does not have such a high literary quality, he has been influenced by him for more than [-] years since he was a child, He... is incomparable.

Li Hong was not stupid either. Seeing that his younger brother was just nodding his head eagerly and didn't appear to be talking and laughing, he decisively changed the topic, and then shifted to the tax system.

Li Hong's fundamental goal is also here. He was raised as a future emperor. Naturally, his vision is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Almost as soon as Li Xian wrote the letter, he was full of praise. Reforming the tax system is a big deal. Li Hong Knowing whether to change it or how to change it depends on the discussion of the three provinces in the end, it is not something his father can change just by saying it.

Later, most of the people in the three provinces and six ministries agreed to change the tax system, and Li Hong was eager to participate. Now he needs credit to increase his bargaining chips, not to mention what if he doesn't want Li Xian to participate?It's just that he didn't expect that the last matter would fall into Li Xian's hands.

It's neither surprising nor surprising, after all, it was Li Xian who proposed to change the tax system from the very beginning.Before Li Hong stayed put, he also consulted with his own think tank, oh, it was the officials of Zhan Shifu who discussed it. This discussion was mainly a simulation. If it was them, how to implement this tax reform and how to customize it.

Li Hong held a whole set of plans in his hand, but kept on holding back. He was waiting for Li Xian to make a mistake. Once Li Xian made a mistake, he would put forward his own opinion according to the degree of Li Xian's mistake. He was not targeting Li Xian, but I just don't want to let go of such a good opportunity.

It's just that I never expected it... Li Xian had a bigger brain than he did. After the invoices appeared, Li Hong knew that he probably had no chance to take out those things.

Li Hong didn't want to admit that there were so many people in his Zhan Shifu that he couldn't compare to Li Xian, so there was only one possibility, Li Xian had capable people around him!

It's just that Li Xian's social circle is too narrow, so narrow that apart from his family members, the rest of the people who have a good relationship with him can be counted on the palm of one hand.

But what if that person is not in Chang'an but in Yangzhou?Thinking that Li Xian wrote a letter to reform the tax system after he arrived in Yangzhou, Li Hong felt that he must have touched the truth.

Such a capable person actually chose to assist Li Xian?why?What does Li Xian have?Even Li Xian is more competitive than him. From the perspective of tax reform, it can be seen that the other party is unwilling to be lonely. Otherwise, how could such a big deal be made?

It's not that Li Hong is narcissistic. He thinks that he is more valuable as an assistant than Li Xian. It's just that he doesn't know who that person is, or whether it's a person or a team. Before that, he needs to find out.

It's a pity that Yangzhou is too far away from Chang'an. If those people only existed as Li Xian's staff, Li Hong's hand would not be able to reach there no matter how long it was.

So what he has to do now is to find out the bottom line, but after the conversation, he found that Li Xian looked innocent, but he was extremely smooth. No matter how he guided him, the other party didn't reveal any news. In the end, he could only smile. Send Li Xian away.

Li Hong was a little suspicious. Could it be that Li Xian didn't have any capable people around him?But it's impossible, how could he not know what Li Xian looks like?He doesn't even have a high level of literary literacy, and I don't see him being particularly smart. How could he think of reforming the tax system?Even if you think about what you want to do without leaking, it is not easy to try it out for two months without making any mistakes.

There must be expert guidance. Of course, Li Hong did not doubt Zheng Qi. Although Zheng Qi is close to Li Xian, he is also in the court. If he has an idea, he can come up with it himself. , unless he wants something from the dragon, but at present, Li Xian basically doesn't think about it.

Li Hong was thinking here. In fact, Li Xian had the same thoughts as him, and he also felt that Li Xian must have someone behind him.So as soon as Li Xian returned to his carriage, before he could sit still, Li Xian sent someone over there to ask him to try his snacks.

After Li Xian passed by, he found that Li Xian was obviously more meticulous than Li Hong. Li Hong noticed that Li Xian didn't like drinking tea very much, but Li Xian even noticed Li Xian's taste. It has something to do with going to Li Xian's for dinner.

Li Xian's snacks are carefully prepared, Li Xian likes to eat, I don't know why Li Xian feels more relaxed at Li Xian's than at Prince's.

"You just came back from the prince?" Li Xian asked without going straight to the point.

Li Xian took a sip of water, squeezed a mille-feuille cake and bit it down forcefully, and said vaguely, "Don't mention it, you're telling me I'm hungry."

"What did you say?" Li Xian and Li Hong have never been in the same way. Li Hong likes all kinds of detours, and Li Xian will be straightforward with you when necessary. Of course, it depends on the person. Li Xian is such a brain In the circuit, Li Xian felt that even if he made a detour, the other party might not understand it.

Of course, Li Xian is not like Li Hong, he doesn't think Li Xian is stupid, can a really stupid person use a telescope?Stupid people can toss out explosives?What about teasing him?

"It's not those poems and songs, you know I'm not very good at these." Li Xian didn't say that Li Hong asked about the tax system, and he wasn't sure what the two men were up to.

As a result, he didn't say that people would ask, Li Xian snorted and said with a smile: "I don't believe he didn't ask you about tax reform."

Li Xian was full and full of blood and blue, and finally had the energy to deal with Li Xian: "I asked, so what?"

After hearing this, Li Xian didn't know where to laugh, and smiled like a deep well: "Yeah, so what? He wants to get involved. It's a pity..."

Li Xian watched him drink water silently and did not speak, Li Xian smiled for a while, stopped and came over and said, "Speaking of which, I... know him better than you, and he is staring at you like this probably because he thinks there is someone behind you." .”

"Where?" Li Xian heard someone behind him decisively holding down the hilt of the dagger at his waist and looking back.

The corner of Li Xian's mouth twitched, he pinched Li Xian's chin and turned his head, then said: "Didn't you hear what I said earlier?"

Li Xian held Li Xian's wrist and pushed him away, asking in disbelief, "Who is it? Aren't there only a few people around me? There are no one else."

Li Xian shrugged: "Who knows what he thinks? He is very stubborn, anyway, you should be careful."

Li Xian looked at Li Xian and suddenly a sentence flashed in his mind: The one who understands you best is always your enemy.

He thinks... It is estimated that Li Xian doesn't even know Princess Pei that well.Li Xian sighed: "It's up to him. If he insists on believing that there are experts around me, he might not believe me if I say so."

"I want you to be careful that he will be on guard against you, thinking that you are eyeing his position too." Li Xian's temptation came in an aboveboard manner.

Li Xian said decisively: "I have a problem. What's so good about that seat? Look, I can still go out and wander around now. Your Highness the Crown Prince has been going back and forth in Daming Palace Jiucheng Palace and Hebi Palace all these years, right? Lian Dong Have probably never been there? It’s boring.”

There was a little smile in Li Xian's eyes: "I know you can't settle down, it's okay, don't stop stuffing, if you like to eat, someone will bring you back, Fang Zi can't give it to you, this is your sister-in-law The recipe of my mother's family is not passed on."

"Hey, I said why the taste is different, so I'll take some back." Li Xian walked away while talking, holding the food box next to him. The pastries, I think Li Xian had someone prepare them a long time ago.

When Li Xian returned to the carriage, he lost his appetite. He choked on the pastry just now, but he ate it resolutely to stop his mouth. Not to mention the taste was good, but when he thought about the two conversations just now, he felt dull smelly.

At night, Li Xian stared at the lanterns in his room, playing and reading books... The idle books of this era seem very tiring, even with punctuation marks, words and sentences are not the vernacular he is used to, let's play... It's okay Games can be played, but he is not good at things like Go.

Bored, Li Xian wanted to make playing cards. There are no playing cards in this year. When Li Xian was thinking about how to make a harder cardboard case, there was a knock on the door. Zheng Qi outside the door.

The insurer knew the relationship between Zheng Qi and his own king, and when he saw Zheng Qi coming in, he quickly gave way and then formed a group with Li Nu to get out of the way.

Li Xian looked at Zheng Qi in a daze: "Why are you here?"

"Why can't I come over? Bored?"

"No, you just came here like this?" Li Xian leaned out of the window to look, and found that there was no one else except the patrolling guards and the regular maids.

"Why can't you come here like this? I'm on an inspection duty, and I just came here from Prince Pei, what's the problem?" Zheng Qi looked at Li Xian with a smile.

The corner of Li Xian's mouth twitched, "Okay, okay, no problem, you have such an upright look, even if you stay in my room overnight, no one will think there is a problem!"

But... It can be regarded as seeing relatives, Li Xian quickly complained, and by the way, he gave Zheng Qi a taste of the cakes he brought from Li Xian.

Zheng Qi tasted a piece while listening to Li Xian's complaints, and then commented after Li Xian finished complaining: "The taste is average, not as good as your dim sum."

Li Xian stared helplessly at Zheng Qi, and said after a while: "Next time you want to eat, I will tell them to prepare all kinds of pastries in advance if General Zheng comes to the door. What do you think?"

Zheng Qi stretched out his hand to shun Li Xian's hair, dumbfounded: "Okay, don't worry, your answer is not inappropriate. Let the crown prince and King Pei do whatever they want, and just do your own thing well. "

After Zheng Qi said this, Li Xian instantly felt at ease. Although what Zheng Qi just said was justified, he couldn't stay here for too long. Others wouldn't think there was anything wrong with it, but the lady of the sage would definitely have something to think about.

After Zheng Qi left, Li Xian went to bed resolutely. Although he couldn't do much work this day, he felt extremely tired even if he just rode in a carriage.Three days later, their hula-la team arrived at the hunting ground.

There is also an opening ceremony for the winter hunting. First, the supreme leader Li Zhi announced the speech, and then... there is no more. After the signal to start the winter hunting is sent, the princes of the aristocratic families who are riding horses and carrying bows and arrows will immediately disperse. opened.

Yes, the main job of the soldiers and guards who came along was to guard, and the protagonists of the hunt were actually the nobles of these families—even in Qianniuwei, most of them were nobles of noble families, let alone others.

Li Xian was very excited to see those people's aggressive and high-spirited looks, and then ran out to play, but on the first day, no one dared to run too far. Li Xian's riding skills were not good, and he followed the big Behind the troops, well, even if he is the prince, none of those bastards want to let him go!

So Li Xian's harvest on the first day: zero, it was really sad for those who heard it and tears for those who saw it.Li Hong was quite depressed at first. As the crown prince, he couldn't participate in the hunting—if he didn't participate, he had to pay attention to keeping warm and cold to avoid problems. If he participated, he might hang up here.

Especially Li Xian hunted a lot of prey on the first day, even two sparrowhawks.Li Hong is envious of Li Xian, envious of his health and vitality.

Of course, the existence of Li Xian made Li Hong feel a lot of comfort. At least there is another brother who is as healthy as him but has not found anything. If it is him, he must be better than Li Xian!

After counting the results of the first day, Li Zhi looked at the dejected Li Xian and said with a smile: "Qi Lang, don't be unhappy, Ba Lang didn't catch it either, come, come, send this roast leg of lamb to Qi Lang. "

Hachiro... Hachiro is Li Lun, he is just nine years old this year, okay? !Dad, you are your own father, can't you find an example that can make him feel a little bit more comforted?

In fact, it's not that Li Zhi doesn't look for it, it's that he can't find it, even if Li Lun is just nine years old, he just didn't let him off today, and when he's off tomorrow... maybe he's a bit better than Li Xian.

Li Xian has completely given up on treatment, so he will be here for a winter outing, just eat and drink, and leave the limelight to the brothers.

It's just that sometimes when luck strikes you, you can't even hide. On the second day, Li Xian did not catch any prey, but...he brought back a series of living creatures, and they all followed him. come over!By the way, he also caught a little white tiger.
