Li Shimin

Chapter 498

South of Chang'an City, Li Family Village!

On the first floor of the main house of Jinwang Bieyuan, Li Zheng was sitting on the sofa, quietly looking at the awkward young man in front of him.

"If you are sent as an envoy to a certain vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and on the way, another vassal state dares to be rude to the embassy and lead troops to snatch the goods you are carrying, what should you do?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others who were sitting aside and looking at Wang Xuance curiously all the time couldn't help being taken aback.

Immediately, his eyes were full of smirks!
As for Wang Xuance, he was a little confused.

I went to school at home in a good manner, but was called from a long distance by His Royal Highness to come to Chang'an City.

However, after coming here, he met His Royal Highness King Jin. When His Highness King Jin saw him, he didn't say much. First, he looked at himself inexplicably, and then asked this kind of question directly?

However, having learned etiquette from elementary school, Wang Xuance didn't ask too many questions, but after thinking for a while, he bowed his hands.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, how many soldiers are there in the mission?"

"Because it is a mission, there should be two hundred soldiers!"

Li Xuan was overjoyed and replied slowly.

"How far is the mission led by the boy from the border town of Tang Dynasty?"

Wang Xuance asked again.

"It should be hundreds of miles away, and we have to climb over the mountains!" Li Xuan said.

Hearing this, Wang Xuance frowned slightly, and asked again: "Dare to ask your majesty, are there any Tang troops around the mission?"

"It will take at least half a month for our army of the Tang Dynasty to reach the place where you are! But even if our army of the Tang Dynasty arrives, it will still be exhausted and exhausted!"

Li Xuan said.

"Then I will take the two hundred generals and chase after them, attack their army at night, fight to the death, and snatch all the goods back!" Wang Xuance said firmly.

"The bandit country has a lot of troops, your going here is like hitting a stone with an egg, there is no chance of winning!" Li Xuan shook his head again.

"This……"

Wang Xuance looked distressed, looking at His Highness Prince Jin who was smiling lightly in front of him, he had some doubts, whether His Highness Prince Jin was deliberately embarrassing him!
Not only did Wang Xuance think so, but even Li Chongyi, Cheng Chusi and others beside him were somewhat skeptical.

What Li Xuan said was a desperate situation without any solution.

However, Aye's wink at the side made Wang Xuance think again, and then asked again: "Dare to ask your majesty, are there other countries around that are hostile to that traitor's vassal state!"

"Of course there are!"

Li Xuan nodded in response.

"In this way, the boy will hold my Tang Jingjie and borrow troops from those vassal states, waiting for an opportunity to destroy that traitor's vassal state and get back the goods!" Wang Xuance said angrily.

"good!"

Li Xuan was overjoyed, this son must be that Wang Xuance!

Hearing this, Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others on the side were also startled.

Immediately, when they looked at Wang Xuance's expression, they all agreed with him.

Based on these words alone, it is not in vain for them to find this kid all the way and bring him to the Master.

"His Royal Highness, do you know my son?"

On the side, Wang Shiqing breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly looked at Li Xuan.

"As expected of my son from the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Xuan chuckled, he understood Wang Shiqing's thoughts, every parent would be very nervous to see their son being tested by the teacher.

"Thank you, Your Highness King Jin!"

Wang Shiqing was overjoyed.

"I don't know if you are willing to study in Lijiazhuang like these bastards?"

Li Xuan asked Wang Xuance.

"May I ask His Royal Highness King Jin, who is the great Confucian teacher?"

Wang Xuance was overjoyed, he stared and asked curiously.

"Evil thing, why do you need to pick this matter?"

Wang Shiqing was furious immediately.

Regarding Wang Xuance's question, Li Xuan didn't show any displeasure, but said calmly.

"There isn't any great Confucianism. My master can teach you arithmetic in person. However, there is an official in my palace named Chu Suiliang, who is knowledgeable and proficient in literature and history. He has managed the daily affairs of the Hongwen Museum before. If you want him to Teach you, this king can give you some recommendations!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Wang Xuance saluted respectfully again, and then asked again: "Dare to ask Your Highness Prince Jin, who do the crown prince and these gentlemen learn from?"

"I have studied number arithmetic with this king for a year, and I am extremely stupid. I have learned so-so, and now I can only calculate accounts. As for the Four Books and Five Classics, they all have their own teachers at home!"

Li Xuan replied again.

Hearing this, Wang Xuance's eyes lit up.

Immediately, under the intense expression of his own Aye, he finally said: "So, the boy is willing to study with His Highness the Crown Prince and others in Lijiazhuang!"

"good!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly, then looked at Wang Shiqing who was at the side.

"I don't know Patriarch Wang's intention?"

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, King Jin. It is my wish for my son to be favored by King Jin!"

Wang Shiqing was in tears. His family was implicated in a serious case, and the whole family could only be relegated to Rongzhou, a place of bitter cold and insects. He was worried that he would not be able to return to the Central Plains.

Unexpectedly, my child somehow got the favor of His Royal Highness Prince Jin, and was left in Lijiazhuang by His Royal Highness Jin Wang, and then went to study with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and became the Prince's companion in one fell swoop, so God bless the royal family!

"So, Wang Xuance stayed in Lijiazhuang, just like these bastards, learning arithmetic, learning to ride and shoot! As for the Confucian classics, this king is not responsible! If you need to learn, you have to go to the school to find those masters!"

Li Xuan nodded slowly and said.

"School?"

Both Wang Shiqing and Wang Xuance were startled.

"My king built a school for the peasants in the village, and invited a few masters to teach the youngsters of the peasants, as well as the peasants and servants who are willing to read, to learn literacy, numbers and arithmetic!" Li Xuan explained.

"I see!"

Hearing this, Wang Shiqing and Wang Xuance nodded slowly. These schools are usually found in big families, so they didn't take them seriously.

Afterwards, Wang Shiqing accompanied Wang Xuance in the villa, and lived there for a few days.

Wang Shiqing headed for Rongzhou with a full load of items in shock.

His family's evil son, being able to be favored by His Royal Highness King Jin, really smoked from the grave of the Wang family's ancestors!When you go back, you must go to the ancestral hall and offer incense to all the ancestors one by one!

……

Five days after Wang Shiqing left.

On a small hill near Lijiazhuang, Xue Rengui led a group of personal guards to surround the entire hill.

Li Xuan took Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and other bastards, together with Yue Tai and Ji Wen, who ruled ink, and hid far away.

Especially Li Xuan, who directly hid his whole body behind a big tree.

And at a distance of six or seven zhang from several people, there was a big rock, and Cheng Chusi dug a small hole in the rock.

Inside the small hole is a small iron ball the size of a fist.

At the same time, a slender rope made of bamboo paper, gunpowder, and rice paste protruded from the small iron ball, extending directly to Li Xuan's feet.

Cheng Chusi, who was hiding behind Li Xuan, saw Li Xuan being so cautious, and asked subconsciously.

"Master, it's just such a small pinch of gunpowder, do we really need to be so far away?"

"Well, if you think it's far away, you can stand beside that boulder, my master will never stop you!"

Li Xuan glared at Cheng Chusi, and said with a cold snort.

Hearing this, Cheng Chusi couldn't help shrinking his neck, he just asked casually, wanting Li Xuan to explain again.

Since the master is unwilling, then he will be honest.

He dare not take lightly on the little iron ball that the master should take seriously.

At the end of the few people, the newly joined Wang Xuance looked at the situation in front of him, still bewildered.
