Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

Li Ke looked at the figures of the two leaving, and the excitement in his heart was beyond words. He finally pulled the two famous generals to his side.

At this time, an old man in his fifties walked into the main hall, saw Li Ke sitting in the main hall, and hurriedly saluted: "Old slave, Yang En, I greet Your Highness."

Yang En?Li Ke looked at the old man in Tsing Yi, and told him intuitively that this old man, like Liu Wen, was obviously not an ordinary person.

The old man was also watching Li Ke when Li Ke was watching him. When he saw Li Ke was calm and calm, he knew that Li Ke had practiced internal exercises.And as far as he knew, Liu Wen was the only one who could have such kung fu by Yang Fei's side.Therefore, he concluded that Li Ke must have learned from Liu Wen, and looking at the calluses on Li Ke's hands, he knew that he was practicing swords with Liu Wen.Seeing Li Ke so hardworking and studious, he felt slightly relieved.

Seeing that Yang En was also looking at him, Li Ke felt excited, and tentatively asked, "Li Ke is still sitting here today, is it because Mr. Yang desperately rescued him?"

Yang En respectfully said: "It's the old slave, Concubine Yang asked the old slave to win His Highness back safely, it was the old slave who let the empress down and hurt His Highness."

After confirming Yang En's identity, Li Ke got up immediately, and said to Yang En, "Ke, I met Mr. Yang, thank you Mr. Yang for saving your life."

Yang En didn't expect Li Ke to be so courteous to him, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness kills the old slave, the old slave doesn't dare to be a slave, and His Highness can just call the old slave by his name from now on."

Li Ke knew that Yang En was not an idle person, so how could he do what he wanted, and insisted on refusing to do so. In the end, Yang En had no choice but to stop insisting, but he admired Li Ke in his heart.

Seeing an old man decades older than him standing in front of him, Li Ke couldn't bear it, so he quickly asked Yang En to sit down.After Yang En took his seat, he didn't talk about how he rescued Li Ke, but first introduced the current situation of Qin Palace to Li Ke.

Since Li Shimin ascended the throne as emperor and lived in the palace, he only took away a few confidantes and servant girls who were trusted by the ladies, and everyone else in the palace was sent home.Fortunately, Yang En and his servants were left by Li Shimin and Concubine Yang to take care of the palace and clean the garden.In addition, apart from the cleaning up of some documents and the removal of the money in the treasury, the books in the study, the weapons in the armor storehouse, and the flattery in the stables were all left in the mansion.

Li Ke was quite happy after listening, and couldn't hide his excitement.He didn't expect Li Shimin to be so generous, not only gave him such a big mansion, but also gave him the books in the mansion, the weapons he had collected for many years, and the most important horse.

In fact, it's no wonder Li Ke values ​​these things.In the Tang Dynasty, movable type printing and distribution had not yet been invented, and the cost of printing and distributing books was very high.Therefore, except for some classic books of various schools of thought, which are published in a relatively large number and have a large number of books, there are very few other books in existence.Li Shimin loves reading, which Li Ke knows.

Therefore, the books in his study must be all rare and rare folk books, except for the classics of various schools of thought and famous masters.In addition, Li Shimin has outstanding martial arts all his life, loves to collect magical weapons all his life, and also has a deep love for good horses and famous horses.The weapons and horses in the stables that he left in the Armor Storehouse of Prince Qin's Mansion must not be comparable to ordinary weapons and horses, they are all things that cannot be bought with money.

After Yang En introduced the situation of the palace, seeing Li Ke's excited look, he knew that he valued these things very much, so he whispered: "Your Highness, should we go to the study, the stable or the armor warehouse now?" He said this to let Li Ke Check out what Li Shimin left behind in advance, knowing what to expect.After all, in the future, when all the officials of the palace are here, there are many things that he can't even take care of.

Li Ke immediately understood, and said along the way: "Then go to the armor storehouse to have a look!" He really wanted to see what kind of magical weapons Li Shimin had collected in the armor storehouse, and he was about to choose one or two weapons that were convenient for him.Following Yang En's guidance, after a while, Li Ke came to the armor warehouse of the palace, where weapons and armor were stored.The warehouse door was opened, but there was no light in the warehouse. Li Ke who walked into the treasury saw rows of weapon racks in front of his eyes, like a team of armored warriors. murderous.Looking at the dizzying number of weapons in front of him, Li Ke didn't know which one he should choose for a moment.

At this moment, an inconspicuous long sword resting in a corner caught Li Ke's attention.He walked over in a few steps, the sword was not out of its sheath, but bursts of chill had already emanated from the scabbard, Li Ke couldn't help shivering.He gently wiped off the dust that fell on the scabbard with his hands, picked up the long sword, held the hilt with his right hand, and with a clear whistle, he pulled out the long sword.Holding the long sword in his hand, a trace of cold air seeped into his right arm. For a while, Li Ke couldn't adapt to the cold air emanating from the sword.Immediately, he took a breath, and the breathing method taught by Liu Wen naturally flowed under his guidance. After a while, the chill of the long sword disappeared, replaced by a burst of comfort throughout the body.Looking closely at the long sword again, the thin blade is luminescent like snow reflecting the moon. The length of the sword is 111 cm, the length of the blade is 80.5 cm, the length of the handle is 16.5 cm, and the width of the sword is 4.2 cm.

Li Ke knew it was a precious sword, so he put the long sword into its sheath and said in a low voice: "From now on, I will be your master, you will no longer be buried in this unknown corner, you will follow me Be famous all over the world." The long sword seemed to be a little bit satisfactory, and it made a faint contention.

After getting a sword, Li Ke was satisfied, and then he chose a long spear among many long weapons, and then he left the armor library.Seeing that Li Ke was holding a long spear and a long sword, Yang En didn't pay attention at first. When Li Ke walked up to him and saw the long sword in Li Ke's hand, his expression was shocked.

Li Ke saw Yang En's expression, then looked at the long sword in his hand, and guessed that Yang En must know the origin of this sword, so he raised the long sword in front of Yang En and asked, "Why does Mr. Yang show his face when he sees this long sword?" Surprised look?"

Yang En said to Li Ke: "I will explain this to His Highness in detail later. Where is Your Highness going now? This old slave will guide you."

Li Ke saw that it was getting late, so he said to Yang En, "Go to the study!"

When he came to Li Shimin's former study, Li Ke pushed the door open and entered, and immediately felt the smell of books. The study is very large, and there is a mahogany table by the window. In addition to pens, ink, paper and inkstones, there are also some antiques on the table. A mahogany chair, it is not difficult to see that the owner who used to sit here and read a book has a noble status.About ten feet away from the desk table, there are rows of antique nanmu carved bookshelves, and the bookshelves are full of various schools of thought, classics and history collections.He sat down on the chair and said to Yang En: "Old Yang, now we can tell you about the origin of this sword."

Yang En knew that a person driven by curiosity would not give up without asking, so he said to Li Ke: "It is said that this sword is called Yuan Hong, and its predecessor was Can Hong. After Jing Ke failed to assassinate Qin, Can Hong became the sword of Qin It was obtained by the emperor. Yuanhong was re-forged on top of the remnant rainbow by the best swordsmith in Qin State by combining hardware, which increased its power and eliminated its murderous aura. After that, Yuanhong was obtained by Gai Nie. It has become a well-known and feared weapon in the rivers and lakes."

Li Ke sighed in his heart.Busily picking up the Yuanhong sword and stroking it, he said to himself: "Thinking of the origin of this Yuanhong sword, it's no wonder it's cold and murderous. It turns out it's really a treasure."

Seeing that Li Ke was concentrating on Yuan Hong, Yang En bowed and retreated lightly.

Li Ke admired Yuanhong for a while, carefully placed it on the table on the wall of the study, and then flipped through the ancient books left by Li Shimin in the study.The study is very spacious, and the collection of books covers a wide range of subjects. Before checking the entire collection of books in the study, I heard Yang En's voice outside the door: "Your Highness, dinner is ready, Your Highness is welcome to eat."

Li Ke put down the book in his hand, walked out of the study, and came to the front hall of Juyi Hall. Lan Er and all the maids had already put the food on the table.Seeing the table full of delicacies from mountains and seas, Li Ke was shocked.He didn't expect that becoming a prince would not only increase his official rank and salary, but also increase the standard of food.

It's no wonder that many people thought of becoming a prince after becoming a county king, and wanting to be an emperor after becoming a prince. It turns out there is such a meaning.Seeing that there was so much food on the table that he couldn't finish it all by himself, Li Ke ordered his servants to call Liu Rengui and Su Dingfang in.

Seeing Li Ke looking for him during the meal time, the two murmured in their hearts, not knowing what he was going to do.When Li Ke asked the two to eat together, they were obviously taken aback, and quickly declined.Li Ke had no choice but to put on the airs of a prince and shock the two of them to eat with him.

During the banquet, Li Ke was friendly and casual, and the two gradually lost their worries. The three of them had a great meal, and the relationship between the three of them also increased a lot.Even when Li Ke began to mature, Su Dingfang was Dingfang and Liu Rengui was regular, both of them agreed with smiles.

After dinner, watching Liu Rengui and Su Dingfang leave, Li Ke said to Lan'er solemnly: "In the future, there is no need to compensate for the waste of dinner, and reduce it if it should be reduced. Don't buy it according to the specifications."

Lan'er knew that Li Ke didn't like to waste more than Zhang and was frugal by nature, so she agreed one by one.Afterwards, after taking a bath under the service of Lan Er, Li Ke came to his bedroom and meditated with luck.It's just that what puzzles me is that I haven't seen his teacher Liu Wen all day today, which makes him miss him a little. I don't know where he is today?Li Ke has always maintained a curiosity about this teacher.
