Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 35

"The Art of Wei Gong" is a good thing, Li Xian naturally doesn't want to let it go, even if he can't practice it himself, it's not bad to keep it to train his subordinates, maybe by chance, a bunch of little Wei Gongs are concocted, that's not bad It’s a big deal, but it’s a pity that this thing is obviously not easy to get. When Li Jing wrote the book, he presented a whole set to the palace. Unfortunately, that set was taken by Emperor Taizong to be buried in Zhaoling. Now apart from what Li Boyao owns, there is no second set in this world, not even his father Li Deqian. Obviously, if the Li family father and son are not settled, Li Xian's wish will not come true. possible.

Twisted melon is not sweet?Maybe, but at least there are melons to eat, right?It's better than nothing at all. Besides, as long as the melon and vine can be reversed, Li Xian doesn't believe that the melon can be really bad if the water is enough and the fat is enough. Of course, the prerequisite is that you don't Twist the melon vine to death, otherwise, it is really possible to end up as a man inside and out. This requires skill and patience. Obviously, Li Xian does not lack both, and he can afford to wait. After waiting for nearly half a month, Li Xian finally got the edict to enter the door that he needed.

"The Holy Son of Heaven issued an edict saying: Li Jing, the Duke of the First Wei, made great contributions to the country. The late Emperor was in Japan, and he was praised many times. Every time I think about it, I feel grateful. The special reward is 50 taels, and two hundred pieces of silk...Yin Yizi , Encouraged by your resources, I admire this!"

Waiting requires patience, but taking action requires decisiveness. Li Xian has three flavors in his deep charm. After getting the required imperial decree from his father, he immediately led a few eunuchs to line up the prince's ceremonies. , put on a full posture and went straight to Duke Wei's mansion. Of course, with the imperial decree in hand, the gate of Duke Wei's mansion is very convenient to enter. Not only that, everyone in Duke Wei's mansion has to rush forward There were quite a few people, old and young, who came to pick them up, kneeling all over the ground, listening to Li Xian read out the hadith, not to mention, despite his small stature, Li Xian's voice was not small at all, and he proclaimed the imperial decree, quite kind Majestic and solemn, compared with the old eunuchs who are usually in charge of proclaiming the decree, they are a bit higher than the boss.

"I thank you for your grace, my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

The Duke of Wei's mansion has been in the second generation, and it has been rewarding endlessly for decades. It seems that such scenes have not been seen for a long time, and there is no possibility of any serious loss of decorum. Following the usual practice, thank you so much for your kindness. It's quite satisfactory, and there's nothing wrong with it. Of course, Li Xian came here to ask for something. Even if he finds something wrong, he will definitely ignore it. .

"Mr. Wei, congratulations."

Li Xian handed the rolled-up imperial decree to Li Deqian, and said with a smile. The smile was as kind as it could be, but in Li Deqian's view, this smile was really hard to bear. Human favors are not in vain—the matter of Li Xian's request for the imperial decree of reward is not a secret matter, and Li Deqian has heard the rumors before. There is no doubt that Li Deqian actually does not want such an imperial edict that is purely icing on the cake. The problem is that he can't have any say in this matter. Now that the imperial decree has been issued, how dare he not accept it? After accepting it, wouldn't he owe Li Xian a favor? As for what to do, that's okay This made Li Deqian into trouble, and Li Deqian was not a hypocrite, so the aggrieved heart was so depressing.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I am grateful for the great grace of the sage."

Regardless of what was in his heart, he had to say what should be said at the scene, so Li Deqian hurriedly bowed down, took the imperial decree with both hands, and said something dryly, then there was no more to say, just like that Seemingly intentional or unintentional, he forgot to invite Li Xian to talk in the hall.

"Wei Gong is too polite, Xiao Wang, cough, cough, cough..."

Li Deqian could forget the invitation, but Li Xian would definitely not just leave so wisely. If not, wouldn't the edict of reward be for nothing?No, seeing that Li Deqian was going to pretend to be confused, Li Xian was full of slander in his stomach, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he smiled politely and immediately faked coughing.

"Your Highness, what are you..." Seeing that Li Xian was coughing in pain, Li Deqian didn't dare to pretend to be confused anymore, and hurriedly asked in a concerned manner.

"It's okay, it's okay, Xiao Wang's first summoning, he got angry for a while, but he will be fine in a while." Li Xian's fake cough was originally to lure Li Deqian to speak. Seeing that Li Deqian really took the bait, Li Xian immediately called The snake is attached to the stick.

"Ah, the official was too happy to neglect His Royal Highness, Hai Han, Hai Han, and invited His Highness to come in for tea, how about taking a rest?"

Seeing that Li Xian had already spoken to such an extent, even though he was reluctant in his heart, Li Deqian did not dare to invite him. After all, Li Xian is the current prince, and if he is really offended, what if something happens to him? When the incident happened, the Duke of Wei's mansion couldn't tell how many small shoes they had to wear. In desperation, Li Deqian could only forcefully smile to accompany him, and welcomed Li Xian into the hall of the second hall. A group of servants rushed to serve the freshly brewed fragrant tea.

"Wei Gong, this tea is not bad, just use Shun, good!" Even though he was not thirsty, Li Xian still pretended to pick up the tea bowl, took a big sip, praised with a smile, his face was full Intoxicated, it seems that I really like this tea.

"Your Highness, you are welcome. This tea is produced in the farm on the south side of Xiaguan. If Your Highness thinks it is good, there are many places in Xiaguan. Your Highness may as well take some with you when you turn around." Li Deqian had something in mind, and seeing When Li Xian mentioned that tea is good, he didn't think too much about it, so he responded casually.

"Okay, Xiao Wang has heard about Wei Gong's generosity for a long time. I saw it today, and it is true. Xiao Wang has accepted it. Hehe, okay, Wei Gongguo has the legacy of your lord. I think back in the past, your lord galloped on the battlefield, bravely defeated the bandits, and was majestic." Eight sides, invincible! Xiao Wang wished he could have been born a few years earlier, so that he could appreciate the demeanor of my Tang army god, what a pity, what a pity." Li Xian was originally a person who could climb up as soon as he got a pole. When it came to Li Jing's body, his words were full of emotion.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, it's really hard to be an official, like my late father, if I get a wrong award from His Highness, I'm terrified, terrified."

Li Xian said it generously, but Li Deqian listened to it, but his heart sank. What he was afraid of was Li Xian's talk about martial arts. The problem was that Li Xian was praising his father, and Li Deqian couldn't help it. Should stop, it can only be sincerely thanked.

"Wei Gong is too modest, ah, let's not hide it from Wei Gong, Xiao Wang is upset. Seeing the unrest around my Tang Dynasty, the wars continue, and I feel worried. Let's see how the generals of the Manchu dynasty will die, what will happen to Xiao Wang?" I can just sit back and watch, Xiao Wang is following his father's will to learn martial arts with a teacher, it is based on the heart of Zhenwu. It is true that Xiao Wang's willow posture is really difficult to become a great weapon, but it can be a role model for the world. If it can help father It is Xiao Wang's luck that the emperor stabilizes the world, and I hope that Duke Wei can take advantage of Xiao Wang's painstaking efforts and fulfill Xiao Wang's filial piety. , Naturally, it is very good, the whole story will come down, it can be said to be full of emotion, presenting the facts, reasoning, and by the way, he also pulled out the big banner of Gaozong and used it as a tiger skin, which made Li Deqian break out in cold sweat.

"Ah, this, this, this..."

In terms of eloquence, the ten Li Deqian combined are not Li Xian's opponent. When Li Xian said this, Li Deqian didn't know how to answer—is it all right? Relationship, this is the rule passed down by the first Wei Gong Li Jing, should I refuse on the spot, firstly, it will be embarrassing, after all, Li Xian has given enough benefits by coming here, and secondly, wouldn't it be okay to blatantly reject Li Xian's words? To say that Gaozong's edict was inappropriate would be suspected of resisting the edict. Poor Li Deqian was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, but he couldn't explain why. He was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do.

"Does Duke Wei dislike Xiao Wang's incompetence?"

Li Deqian was already embarrassed enough, but Li Xian didn't intend to expose it, his face was serious, and he pressed a cold voice with a dissatisfaction.

"Don't dare, don't dare, I'm an official, I dare not, this, this..."

Seeing Li Xian's change of face, Li Deqian immediately panicked, stood up hastily, bowed and apologized, his stammering appearance was as pitiful as it could be.

"Oh, that's Xiao Wang's misunderstanding. Mr. Wei, please take a seat." Seeing Li Deqian completely panicked, Li Xian's expression turned pale immediately, he smiled lightly, brushed off his sleeves, and signaled Li Deqian to take his seat.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your forgiveness." Li Deqian had been rubbed a little out of control by Li Xian, and was afraid of making too many mistakes, so he hastily thanked him and sat back to his original seat.

"So that Duke Wei could know that before Li Chunfeng and Li Taishi returned to hermitage, they had told Xiaowang that Xiaowang's teacher should be Zuo Xiaowei. Xiaowang didn't believe it at first, so he just tried it out, but he saw it unexpectedly. Under Li Sijie, I know that what Li Taishi said is true, and I am really fascinated by it. If Duke Wei allows me to allow Xiaowang to learn some skills from Li Sijie, it will be my honor. I don't expect to be able to perform meritorious service in the battle, but I want to be able to strengthen my body and set an example for the world to persuade the martial arts. If Wei Gong can allow it, Xiao Wang will come to your mansion to learn from him on an auspicious day, so it will be successful. ?” After Li Deqian took his seat, Li Xian spoke with great sincerity, his tone was sincere, but the undeniable meaning inside was choking.

"It's really lucky to be valued by His Highness. It's just that the dog has no talent or virtue. If he misses His Highness's important event, it will be the crime of the lower official. I hope His Highness will be sympathetic to the first and second lower officials." Li Deqian has been forced by Li Xian. On the corner of the wall, there was no room for maneuver, but Li Deqian still didn't dare to disobey easily after thinking about the precepts of his ancestors. After pondering for a while, he still tactfully rejected Li Xian's request.

"Mr. Wei's words are wrong. Li Sijie's ability is full of praise even the old general Su. Xiao Wang can worship him as his teacher, which is really high. Of course, Li Sijie has an official position. Xiao Wang does not dare to abolish the government because of personal interests, so he only asks Li Sijie to come to Xiaowang's mansion in three or five days, give Xiao Wang some advice, and teach him some sword and horse skills. It will not cause Li Sijie to miss Is it okay to do this?" Hearing Li Deqian's polite refusal, Li Xian was not willing to let it go, his face froze at first, as if he was about to get angry, then his back twitched a few times, and he spoke again, It's just that there was a bit of resentment in the tone, and it seemed that he was on the verge of going crazy, and Li Deqian couldn't help feeling a little terrified when he saw it.
