The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 115

"Is anyone there?" Jiang Chengzu slapped on the courtyard door and shouted loudly into the courtyard.

But no matter how much Jiang Chengzu slapped and shouted, the courtyard was still completely silent.There was no one to argue with, and no one came to open the door.

This made Zhao Tingxuan feel strange, so he asked Longmen County Magistrate Shi: "Didn't you say that this old craftsman asked the prince to come to see him? Now that the prince has condescended to come, why is there no sign of him?"

"This lower official is really not very clear. Maybe he has something to go out." Longmen County Magistrate Shi said with a troubled expression on his face.

"Don't embarrass him. It seems that the sincerity of the king is not enough, so he is not willing to open the door for us." Li Chengqian said to Zhao Tingxuan.

At the same time, he walked towards the courtyard door, and then patted it lightly twice.And said: "The old man can stay at home, Xiao Wang Li Chengqian asks to see him."

As soon as Li Chengqian said this, everyone present was surprised.That an old craftsman can command Li Chengqian's respect so much is beyond everyone's imagination.

But only Zhang Yajiu had a calm face, as if there was nothing wrong with Li Chengqian's doing so.

Li Chengqian yelled three times, and then heard the sound of the door being opened in the courtyard.Then came the sound of footsteps.

Soon the courtyard door was opened, and a young man in his 20s appeared in front of Li Chengqian.And not the gray-haired old man.

Li Chengqian said to the young man with a smile: "I, Li Chengqian, I don't know if the old man who made this harness is at home now?"

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness Xianwang. Grandpa is waiting for His Royal Highness Xianwang in the room. However, Grandpa said that if His Highness Xianwang wants to see him, he must answer three questions."

"If His Royal Highness the Xian Wang is unwilling to answer, or the answer makes Grandpa dissatisfied, then you can only ask His Highness the Xian Wang to go back. These six sets of harnesses are considered to be an apology from Grandpa to His Highness the Xian Wang." The young man said to Li Chengqian .

"Arrogance, Your Highness the Xianwang condescended to come here in person. Not only did your grandfather not go out to meet him in person, but he even made things difficult for His Highness the Xianwang. I think you really don't know how to live or die." The county magistrate of Longmen County said angrily.

Li Chengqian waved his hand to the county magistrate of Longmen County, and then said to the young man: "I don't know if there is any problem with the old man, so I ask this little brother to explain it."

"My grandpa's first question is why did His Royal Highness come here?" the young man asked Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian nodded after hearing this, and pointed to the horses behind him.But he didn't say anything.

The young man nodded instead, and then asked: "Then I don't know the purpose of His Royal Highness's trip, and what is it for?"

"Please." Li Chengqian blurted out without hesitation.

The young man nodded again, and then continued to speak: "Back then Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times to invite Zhuge Liang in order to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty. I don't know why His Royal Highness invited the virtuous today?"

Li Chengqian smiled and did not speak, but pulled the young man's hand over.Write a word on the palm of his hand.

After Li Chengqian finished writing, the young man immediately became very respectful.After making a gesture of invitation to Li Chengqian, he said, "His Royal Highness, please follow the grass people."

Li Chengqian nodded, and then followed the young man into the courtyard.This could not help but make everyone present puzzled.

Even Xue Rengui, who will lead the three armed forces in the future, now has a confused expression on his face.

"Uncle Zhang, I don't think you are surprised. Do you know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the prince?" Xue Rengui asked Zhang Yajiu.

Zhang Yajiu smiled and said to Xue Rengui: "Our lord is a man who is thirsty for talents, and he can make him respect the virtuous and corporal without hesitating to condescend. Do you think this person will be an ordinary person?"

As Zhang Yajiu said, he pointed to the ancient seal characters on the saddle.

Everyone looked in the direction Zhang Yajiu pointed.After reading it, I still have a puzzled look on my face. After all, it is just a word in ink, so what can it explain.

"Jianai, Feigong, Shangxian, Shangtong, Tianzhi, Minggui, Feiming, Feile, Jieyong, Jiebu." Zhang Yajiu said these words.

When Xue Rengui heard these words, he couldn't help being surprised.He opened his mouth and asked Zhang Yajiu: "Uncle Zhang, don't tell me that the old man living in this room is the successor of the Mohist family."

"The person who can make such exquisite harness has left an ink letter on the saddle. Do you think who else would dare to do this except the Mo family?" Zhang Yajiu said with a smile.

"No wonder the prince condescends so much." Xue Rengui nodded and said.

……

"You are His Royal Highness King Xian. Presumably you should know the identity of this old man?" The white-haired old man asked Li Chengqian.

Seeing the old man who was still sitting there with his eyes slightly closed, Li Chengqian didn't feel unhappy because of his rudeness.

Instead, he nodded and said, "Although I don't know the old man's name, I think the old man must be from the Mo family."

"Then how much does His Royal Highness know about the Mo family?" the old man asked Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Jianai, Feigong, Shangxian, Shangtong, Tianzhi, Minggui, Feiming, Feile, Frugal Use, Festive Burial..."

Afterwards, Li Chengqian recited a piece of Mozi from the beginning.Of course, it is better to say that Li Chengqian memorized it than read it.It's just that others can't see where his books are placed.

Afterwards, Li Chengqian described the three branches of Mohism in detail.This could not help but make the old man nod frequently.

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, the old man stood up, bowed respectfully to Li Chengqian and said: "Nowadays, there are not many people who can understand the Mohism so thoroughly."

"Qin Mo's giant, Xiang Libo, visited His Highness the Xian Wang. Please don't blame the Xian Wang for being rude to His Highness just now."

Li Chengqian hurried forward and stretched out his hands to help Xiang Libo up.And said: "I didn't expect the old man to be the giant of Qin Mo. This king is rude."

"Today, the king came here to invite the old man to come out of the mountain. I wonder if the old man thinks that the king is so blessed?"

"When the old man took out the six sets of harnesses, he was ready to follow His Royal Highness. It's just that he didn't know His Highness well, so he tested His Highness."

"Although His Royal Highness the Xian Wang is indeed a corporal who respects the virtuous and virtuous, it is just that for Qin Mo to serve His Highness the Xian Wang, His Highness the Xian Wang needs to agree to the old man." Xiang Libo said to Li Chengqian.

"I don't know what the giant wants me to do? As long as I can do it, I will go all out and never refuse." Li Chengqian said.

"I don't know if His Highness the Xianwang has heard of the Yinling Secret Mansion?" Xiang Libo asked Li Chengqian.
