Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 454 Xue Rengui's Apprenticeship

When Gao Ming and Xue Rengui were talking, Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji and others were also there.

So, after hearing Gao Ming's words, they immediately cast their eyes on Xue Rengui together, with a hint of envy and curiosity in their eyes.

Looking at the eyes of everyone, Gao Ming also guessed what they were thinking, and immediately laughed.

"Xue Rengui is the person I like. Although he is very young now, I believe he can take on the future of Datang. So if there is a chance, I hope that the generals can help him and let him grow up as soon as possible. This is not an order. , but a request."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, all the generals present were moved.

"It seems that His Royal Highness really values ​​Xue Rengui very much!"

Thinking of this, Li Jing was the first to stand up.

"His Royal Highness looks at people with confidence. If Mr. Xue doesn't dislike him, he can go to the Bi Mansion when he returns to Tang Dynasty."

Li Jing's words were basically tantamount to recognizing Xue Rengui, and everyone present could hear his words.

Of course Xue Rengui also understood, but facing the olive branch suddenly thrown by Li Jing, he didn't react immediately, and immediately froze in place.

"This……"

Seeing Xue Rengui in a daze, Gao Ming immediately kicked him lightly, then picked up the teacup on the table and handed it to him.

"Didn't you hear what Duke Wei said? Why don't you kneel down and worship your teacher?"

Gao Ming's kick woke Xue Rengui up immediately, and he knelt down towards Li Jing with a "plop", and then raised the teacup above his head.

"Student Xue Li, whose name is Rengui, met the teacher!"

Seeing this scene, Li Jing was stunned.

"This……"

Originally, Li Jing just said it casually, as a favor of Gao Ming, even if Xue Rengui came to the door in the future, he would be able to give a few pointers, but he didn't expect that Gao Ming's skill in climbing the pole is so good, that Xue Rengui would serve tea as an apprentice .

Li Jing looked at Gao Ming's half-smile face, then at the teacup in Xue Rengui's hand, smiled wryly and shook his head.

"The old minister is old..."

Seeing that Li Jing wanted to decline, Gao Ming immediately clapped his hands.

"I understand the meaning of Wei Guogong. Wei Guogong said that although he is old, he is an old man with a long-term ambition. This kind of spirit is really admirable!"

Speaking of this, Gao Ming immediately took the teacup from Xue Rengui's hand, and then kicked him again.

"Stop talking nonsense, kowtow, nine kowtows!"

"..."

Seeing this scene, everyone present was speechless.

At this time, everyone knew very well that Li Jing had been targeted by Gao Ming, and Xue Rengui had to be accepted as an apprentice, and he had to be accepted if he didn't.

However, no one was surprised that Gao Ming had such thoughts. After all, among the people present, when it came to fighting, no one could compare with Li Jing. Even Li Ji, a victorious general, often asked Li Jing for advice on strategy.

It's a pity that Li Jing is now over 70 years old, and it is impossible to fight in the battlefield, and Gao Ming also knows that if the historical records are correct, Li Jing will die in a few years.

Therefore, it is necessary to pass on his abilities while his body is still strong.

Xue Rengui also knew that Gao Ming was helping him, so without saying a word, he kowtowed nine times to Li Jing.

Seeing this scene, Li Jing suddenly showed a wry smile.

"Your Highness, why bother?"

"whee……"

Gao Ming didn't answer his question, but just smiled and handed the tea cup he took from Xue Rengui to Li Jing, and raised his eyebrows at him.

"Congratulations to Wei Guogong for accepting a good student, let's drink tea!"

Li Jing still has a good impression of Gao Ming, especially because Gao Ming cherishes the lives of soldiers, so even if Li Jing doesn't give other people face, he still gives Gao Ming face.

What's more, he didn't have a bad impression of Xue Rengui, so when he took the teacup from Gao Ming, he immediately picked it up and took a sip.

Seeing this scene, everyone present also reacted, and rushed to congratulate Li Jing.

"Congratulations to Lord Wei for accepting a good student!"

"Congratulations bro!"

"congratulations……"

Faced with the congratulations of the crowd, Li Jing could only smile wryly and bow one by one in return, and finally nodded towards Xue Rengui who was kneeling on the ground.

"Get up, you must be diligent and not slack off as an official in the future, do you understand?"

Facing Li Jing's admonition, Xue Rengui nodded quickly.

"Yes, thank you teacher for your teaching, the students understand!"

Seeing that the situation was developing in the direction he wanted, Gao Ming immediately grinned.

"Haha, today is a happy day, let's go, I invite you adults to eat beef!"

In the Tang Dynasty, cattle were not allowed to be slaughtered, so even if Gao Ming was the prince of the Tang Dynasty, there were not many opportunities to eat beef.

However, since he came to Goguryeo, he no longer has this concern. He has a lot of beef every day, which can be said to be a feast for the taste.

Even Gao Ming is like this, and other ministers are naturally the same, so everyone present laughed when they heard that he invited him to eat beef.

"Haha, I, Old Cheng, have gotten my brother's favor this time!"

"Zhijie, you should say that you have been honored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"No, no, no, it should be said that they are in the light of the two of them, hahahaha..."

Seeing everyone's joy, Li Jing couldn't help but twirled his beard and laughed.

"The old minister may not have eaten beef for a long time, and he should eat more while taking the opportunity, otherwise he will regret it after returning to Datang."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Hearing Li Jing's joke, everyone laughed again.

But at this time, a messenger ran in quickly, and after coming to Gao Ming, he knelt down on his knees.

"Report to His Royal Highness, Chang'an urgent document!"

After speaking, he took out a document from his arms and handed it to Gao Ming with both hands.

After Gao Ming took the letter containing the official document from his hand, he first checked the wax seal on the letter mouth, and found that the imprint on it was intact, then he opened the envelope and took out the letter inside to read.

Seeing this scene, everyone present did not make a sound, they just quietly waited for Gao Ming to read the letter.

After Gao Ming read the letter, a sneer appeared on his face.

"Hmph... Generals, I don't think you need to worry about not having any beef to eat in the future. Come on, Duke Wei, take a look too!"

After speaking, Gao Ming handed the letter in his hand to Li Jing.

Looking at the letter Gao Ming handed over, Li Jing bowed to him first, and then took the letter with both hands.

After Li Jing read the letter, his face immediately sank.

"This letter said that Xue Yantuo's Bazhuo took advantage of our attack on Datang and brought troops to invade, and now he has arrived in Shuofang County, Henan Province. It is really deceiving!"
