bastard seizes tang

Chapter 79
From Chang'an to Yudujun Mountain, the distance between the two places is thousands of miles, and it takes several months to go back and forth. It was already the beginning of autumn and July when Li Ke learned about it through the emissary who sent the letter from the south.

As the so-called "Hu Tian is snowing in August", the snow in Mobei comes much earlier than in Guanzhong, but this year the snow in Mobei is much earlier than in previous years.

It was only July, and Li Ke, who was in Turkic, had already seen snow.

Turkic people are more nomadic than farming. In Turkic, there is no such saying that auspicious snow heralds a good year. In the cold and ruthless Mobei, heavy snow means frozen cattle and sheep, war horses without sufficient fodder, and Herdsmen who are too late to migrate.

Sometimes in Mobei, a single snow can even destroy an already weak tribe.

Of course, in the eyes of the Turkic people, this sudden heavy snowfall was a nightmare, but in the eyes of Li Ke, this heavy snowfall seemed not so terrible.

"This Mobei is really strange. This is July, and it's early autumn in the Tang Dynasty. How come there is such a big snowstorm here?"

Early in the morning, when Li Kechen was reading, but when Li Ke was holding the book and reading silently, a strong wind blew open the door of Li Ke's tent and poured the wind and snow in. Li Ke's maid, Dan'er, looked outside the door. heavy snow, complained softly.

"The heavy snow here in the north comes much earlier than in Guanzhong, so you can get used to it." Li Ke couldn't help laughing at Dan'er's angry look.

At this time, Wang Xuance, who was teaching Li Ke at the side, heard the words, frowned and said: "It is true that the heavy snow in the north comes much earlier than in Guanzhong, but it is too early, the weather is really weird. sharp."

Dan'er at the side saw that Wang Xuance actually agreed with his words, and hurriedly responded: "What you said is exactly what the master said, this northern land will not necessarily go to our Guanzhong, it is only July this year, if it really hits the middle of winter, no one will be frozen to death. "

The more Dan'er talked, the colder it felt outside. Looking at the loose door bolt, he muttered: "I have to find someone to repair this door bolt today. It's not the way to always do this. , can’t freeze His Highness.”

Hearing Dan'er's muttering in his ears, Li Ke said with a smile: "You, it's just that you are in a bad mood. Look, sir, even though the tent door is open, it is still as stable as Mount Tai."

After listening to Li Ke's words, Dan'er replied: "The servant girl only wants to serve His Highness for the rest of her life, and the husband will be a general in the future, so how can the maidservant compare. But His Highness keeps saying that the maidservant is in a bad mood. What did His Highness see?"

Li Ke has a very good temper, and never scolds his subordinates easily. Dan'er has been with Li Ke for a long time, and his words are not as cautious as they were at the beginning. Instead, he is much more courageous, and dares to joke with Li Ke .

"That's natural."

Li Ke heard the words, smiled, stood up, walked to the tent door with the scroll in his hand, looked at the flying snow outside the tent, and said softly: "Flying snow is coming from Tianshan Mountain, floating outside the rope lattice. The clouds are dark and ninefold , the north wind blows all the sounds. There is a booklet for wine invitations, thoughts and Qingyan meetings. The bear mat is safe for you, but the lamb fur is not for me. If the son does not hang down, who will pity Xiao Ai."

Dan'er looked at Li Ke's young and mature appearance, and was stunned for a while.

Although Dan'er was born in a peasant family, she has always been smart. She learned a lot of characters in the palace earlier. Recently, she has been following Li Ke's side, and naturally she has grown a lot under the influence of her ears and eyes. The poems in Li Ke's mouth, Dan'er also heard.

The poem Li Ke recited was "Poems in Reply to the Prince's Son" written by Xie Tiao in the Southern Dynasty. Xie Tiao was very famous, and Dan'er knew about it, but she only had a half-knowledge of the meaning of this poem.

Just when Dan'er didn't know how to reply, Wang Xuance, who was sitting quietly beside him, suddenly spoke.

Wang Xuance asked in confusion: "His Highness likes to read Xie Xuanhui?"

Li Ke thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Although the words in Xie Xuanhui's poems are clear and delicate, they mostly imitate his ancestor Xie Lingyun, and instead lose the flavor he should have. What I like is that this poem is comparable to the current situation. That's all."

In the contemporary world, Xie Tiao's fame was great, but in Li Ke's eyes, Xie Tiao's achievements in the poetry world were far from being comparable to those famous masters in the Tang Dynasty.However, at present, the poetry world in the Tang Dynasty is not flourishing, and the giants in the poetry world in Li Ke's heart are still unknown, so Li Ke made this statement.

Wang Xuance said: "Xie Xuanhui's background is not bad, but it's a pity that his hometown is earlier. If he had accumulated more taste in later years, his name might not be under Xie Lingyun. It's just that although this Xie Tiao is rich, he has not been reused in his life. His official career has been wasted, how could he be remembered as His Highness?"

Xie Tiao was born in the Xie family of Chenjun, which is also known as the Wang family of Langya. He has no worries about wealth and honor throughout his life, but his official career has been bumpy and he cannot be reused. Therefore, there are many lines of resentment in his poems.

The "Response to the Prince's Poem" recited by Li Ke just now was written by Xie Tiao who went to meet the prince of Yuzhang Wang Xiaoyi Xiao Zilian, but in Wang Xuance's eyes, Li Ke's identity is more like the high-ranking prince of Yuzhang Instead of Xie Tiao, who is seeking an official.

Li Ke said: "Xie Xuanhui is a son of a noble family, but he wants to be an official, but he can't get it. Although this king is a prince, his situation is very similar to his. It's just that Xie Tiao can go to worship that prince's son, where is my prince's son?" "

Xie Tiao is the son of a family, what he wants is an official, and Li Ke is the prince, what Li Ke wants, although he didn't say it clearly, it is not difficult for Wang Xuance to guess.

With Li Ke's current status, apart from the dragon chair in Chang'an, what else can he ask for.

Seeing Li Ke's expression seemed sad, Wang Xuance comforted him and said, "Your Highness is a man of heaven and earth, how can you be a scumbag, and your Highness's ability cannot be compared with Xie Xuanhui's. The road that Your Highness is going to take, Xie Xuanhui was originally a hundred times more brilliant , why should His Highness feel pity for others?"

Li Ke looked at Wang Xuance's solemn expression, and was quite moved in his heart.He originally just said something in response to the situation, half complaining and half joking, but Wang Xuance paid so much attention to it.

Li Ke said with a smile: "Sir, don't worry, my king's temperament is not so bad, besides, for Xie Xuanhui, the heavy snowfall is a disaster that hinders his return journey, but for this king, it may not be an east wind to help him return to the south as soon as possible. "

Wang Xuance is so smart, as soon as Li Ke's words came out, Wang Xuance immediately understood what Li Ke meant.

The heavy snow fell suddenly, and the Turks were not prepared at all. In just a few days, countless cattle and sheep were frozen to death, and many herdsmen were also displaced. If this continues, it will be a huge natural disaster. Even The strength of the entire Turks will be greatly reduced.

At that time, how could the Turks, who couldn't even feed their war horses and their soldiers enough to eat, be the opponent of Datang?
And at this moment, as if to confirm the meaning of Li Ke's words, a Turkic waiter suddenly walked in outside the door.

"Report to the third prince, the Khan heard it, please hurry to the third prince!"
