Man Tanghong

Chapter 233
Di Zhixun's status was considered precious in the eyes of the people in Chang'an City.

But in the eyes of people in Prince Qi's Mansion, they are nothing.

Because anyone randomly drawn out by Qi Wangfu might be an official of the ninth rank, far above Di Zhixun, and Di Zhixun could surpass them only if he passed the examination of Mingjing.

But in Prince Qi's Mansion, it was just a random person who rose to the level of the gatekeeper.

After all, there are two officials from the seventh rank standing guard at the gate of Prince Qi's mansion.

Therefore, Li Yuanji had no way to bring Di Zhixun into the mansion, so he could only reluctantly attack his father.

Li Yuanji didn't deliberately go to find Di Xiaoxu, because Li Yuanji preferred generals over civil servants.

Among the people under Li Yuanji's command, among the civil servants, except for Ling Jing, who was excavated by Li Yuanji painstakingly, the rest were either sent to the door on their own initiative, or picked up halfway.

Anyway, Li Yuanji didn't deliberately dig out civil servants.

But for generals, Li Yuanji has deliberately dug a lot.

The reason why Li Yuanji pretended to be Di Xiaoxu was also related to Wang Ruan's cousin.

Wang Ruan's cousin was discriminated against by the students in the imperial school because he was too young and entered the imperial school through the back door.

At the beginning, it was just cynicism, because the students in the Taixue knew that Wang Ruan's cousin entered the Taixue through the way of Prince Qi's residence, so they restrained themselves.

But after a long time, I found that Wang Ruan's cousin didn't seem to have much communication with the Qi Palace, and it seemed that he bought the quota from someone who bought the Qi Palace with money.

So they bullied Wang Ruan's cousin one after another.

Wang Ruan's cousin is also a ruthless person. After being bullied, he did not complain to Wang Ruan. The fight with the four students eventually even turned into a big fight with hundreds of people.

Although no one was killed in the end, more than a dozen people were killed and disabled.

After Dou Dan knew about this, he ordered the officials of Taixue to investigate.

In the end Di Xiaoxu tracked down Wang Ruan's cousin.

Dou Dan is going to kill him.

An imperial student who had befriended Wang Ruan's cousin risked his life to break into a separate courtyard of Prince Qi's mansion, and indirectly passed the news to Wang Ruan's ears.

Wang Ruan is not qualified to go to Taixue to show off his prestige, let alone ask Dou Dan to intercede, so he can only ask Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji took a pen and wrote "Brother-in-law, spare your life" and sent someone to send it to Dou Dan.

Dou Dan was so amused by Li Yuanji's witty words that he lost all anger.

Not only released him, but also praised Wang Ruan's cousin in public.

It is said that his work is beautiful, courageous and resourceful, and he is a talent.

He also reprimanded the other students who participated in the chaos.

He said bluntly, "You are not as skilled as others, and you lost to a doll who was a round younger than you, and you still have the nerve to sue, shameless."

The students are suffering.

They didn't file a complaint either? !

After Dou Dan reprimanded the students of Taixue and other schools, he also asked Li Yuanji to come and go frequently.

Li Yuanji asked Yang Miaoyan to go out and accompany Xiangyang to enjoy the flowers once.

Di Xiaoxu's name was also told by Xiangyang to Yang Miaoyan.

What Xiangyang meant was that if Li Yuanji wanted to take advantage of Di Xiaoxu and avenge his concubine brother, she could sell Li Yuanji a favor.

Li Yuanji also learned that Di Xiaoxu was in Taixue.

As for Di Xiaoxu was not wrong, why should he be manipulated.

Li Yuanji didn't care.

Because Di Xiaoxu has no backer, in Xiangyang's eyes, he is an insignificant person.

It would be very cost-effective to exchange him for a favor from Li Yuanji.

……

Yang Miaoyan moved very quickly, and in the evening, he brought Di Xiaoxu to Jiulongtan Mountain, and urged Di Xiaoxu to start teaching Li Xu and Li Ling.

Di Xiaoxu bluntly said that when he arrived at the place where His Highness King Qi was staying, he must pay a visit.

Yang Miaoyan refused.

Di Xiaoxu insisted on asking to see him.

An official of Prince Qi's mansion, whose official position and status are several times higher than Di Xiaoxu's, passed in front of him leading Qi King's horse, and he never asked to see King Qi again.

From his point of view, this was a blow to him by the people of Prince Qi's Mansion.

He was ridiculing that his official was not as good as a groom, and he was embarrassed to see His Royal Highness King Qi.

He felt a deep humiliation, but he didn't touch his head to show King Qi where he was staying.

He has a strong heart, but after all, he can't let go of the whole family.

King Qi almost wiped out a state's family, and his small business is not enough.

……

Li Yuanji was lying under a tree with his eyes closed to enjoy the cool air. Luo Shixin appeared in front of Li Yuanji leading a precious horse.

"Your Highness..."

"Um……"

Li Yuanji opened his eyes and saw Luo Shixin and the horse beside Luo Shixin.

Li Yuanji updated his equipment, and the war horse under his crotch had to be updated accordingly.

The experience of horse hunting left to him by his predecessor can at most allow him to distinguish what is a good horse and what is a bad horse.

He couldn't say exactly where it was good and where it was bad.

So he can only hand over the important task of selecting Baoju for him to his subordinates.

After Luo Shixin learned of this, he offered to help Li Yuanji look after the horse.

After wandering around in the horse pile in Li Yuanji's mansion, he finally found a horse that could carry Li Yuanji in full armor.

"Is this the horse you were looking for?"

Li Yuanji carefully looked at the horse that Luo Shixin had chosen.

I didn't see anything special, nor did I have the characteristics of those horses recorded in the history books.

For example, the whole body is snow-white, and the four hooves are dyed with four clusters of flame-colored fur.

Another example is a strong physique, tall and brave at a glance.

Another example is proficiency in human nature.

Looking left and right, Li Yuanji saw that it was an ordinary black horse with nothing special about it except that it had no stray hair.

Luo Shixin stroked the mane on the horse's neck, and said confidently, "It can cover at least thirty stones."

Li Yuanji's pupils shrank slightly.

A stone is sixty catties.

Thirty stones, that is over [-] catties.

The most heavy load Li Yuanji has seen so far is a Texas horse, which can lift [-] catties.

This horse is more than [-], a bit perverted.

"Take my clothes!"

Li Yuanji ordered loudly.

He has to give it a try.

The guards quickly carried Li Yuanji's armor under the big tree.

After Li Yuanji was fully dressed, he immediately took the reins from Luo Shixin and got on the horse's back.

The horse just shook its head and spit out some saliva, and there was no other abnormality.

Li Yuanji ordered someone to fetch a stone lock of the same weight and held it in his hand.

The horse moved a few steps, but there was still no other abnormal reaction.

Li Yuanji immediately rushed out on his horse.

After rushing for a full hour, the horse showed signs of fatigue.

Li Yuanji dropped the stone lock, rode back under the big tree, and said with a satisfied smile: "Shi Xin, you really picked a wonderful horse."

It can carry him, his cloak, and a stone lock as heavy as the cloak for an hour.

That means that if he puts his horse in full armor and charges into battle, he can run thirty miles in an hour.

The distance of thirty miles, with his perverted degree, is enough to cut through any army formation.

"As long as His Highness is satisfied."

There was also a smile on Luo Shixin's face.

He is a pure person, warlike and friendly, and he doesn't think too much about other things.

So after he followed Li Yuanji, he thought of Li Yuanji wholeheartedly.

Li Yuanji would be able to get a horse to help him, and his strength would increase a lot. It would be easier for Li Yuanji to charge into battle or stand out from the encirclement on the battlefield.

So he was happy for Li Yuanji.

"Stay here tonight and have a few more drinks with me to celebrate."

Li Yuanji invited with a smile.

Luo Shixin nodded without hesitation.

Li Yuanji immediately ordered people to put away the cloak and took away the war horses so that they could be taken care of. He also ordered people to prepare wine and vegetables and drink them immediately.

While drinking, Luo Shixin told Li Yuanji that when he was leading the horse passing by the place where Li Yuanji lived, he met a scribe and looked at him with strange eyes, as if he had suffered a great humiliation.

Li Yuanji just twitched the corner of his mouth, but didn't say much.

That scribe was undoubtedly Di Xiaoxu.

The reason why he showed a look of great humiliation was because he regarded Luo Shixin as a groom.

The reason why Yang Miaoyan prevented Di Xiaoxu from seeing Li Yuanji was not Yang Miaoyan's intention, but Li Yuanji's intention.

Although Taixue, Guozijian, Simenxue and many other schools in the Tang Dynasty were all under the control of Dou Dan.

But most of the officials inside are princelings.

Li Yuanji would be okay if he saw Guozi offering wine, but if he saw a small official like Guozijian Siye, he would easily be regarded as a virtuous corporal and wanted to recruit him into the mansion.

From Li Jiancheng's private land, recruit Li Jiancheng's people, Li Jiancheng should be in a hurry with you?
Li Yuanji now needs Li Jiancheng to pinch Li Shimin, not him.

So there is no need to stimulate Li Jiancheng at this time.

In case Li Jiancheng has trained his soldiers well, he should try him first to see if the sword is not good, and then deal with Li Shimin. If he accidentally kills Li Jiancheng, then he will have to face Li Shimin alone.

Li Yuanji drank all night with Luo Shixin.

The next day, brothers Xue Wanshu, Xue Wanjun, and Xue Wanche were also called to Jiulongtan Mountain to continue drinking.

Some days later.

Li Yuanji was either getting used to his new horse, or was drinking with Luo Shixin and others all night long.

It's completely a posture of wanting to be a drunkard.

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin looked at Li Yuanji as if he didn't care about anything and didn't participate in anything.

A fierce battle began in the open and in the dark.

Today Li Jiancheng impeaches Li Shimin's people, and tomorrow Li Shimin impeaches Li Jiancheng's people.

Within a few days, three big officials and a dozen or so small officials were sacked.

It wasn't until Li Xiaogong returned to Beijing, Li Yuanji's coronation day came, Xie Shufang's wedding day approached, and Li Yuanji was reluctantly invited out of Jiulongtan Mountain that Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin restrained themselves.

It's not that Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin are afraid of Li Yuanji.

But Li Yuanji was about to hold a coronation ceremony, and Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin had to give Li Yuanji more or less face.

After all, a coronation gift is no less than a wedding ceremony.

Disturbing someone's coronation ceremony is like disturbing someone's wedding ceremony.

If Li Yuanji was careful, he would be a deadly enemy.
