Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 42 Drilling, or Drilling (2)

After the Qingming Festival, the sky is getting hotter. Although it is not yet hot, the thicker robes can no longer be worn. After a lot of exercise, the whole body will be covered with stinky sweat immediately. Everyone in the palace Hastily changed into a light summer dress, of course, not without exception, Prince Li Hong has been physically weak since he was a child, lacking in energy and blood, but he is afraid of the cold rather than the heat, even if the maids waiting beside him are already wearing He wore a graceful summer skirt, but Li Hong was still dressed very neatly, and the figure sitting behind a few children seemed a little bloated because of it.

"Your Highness."

Just as Li Hong was immersed in reading the memorial, a young eunuch hurried in from outside the hall, approached the sons cautiously, and called out in a low voice.

"Ah."

Li Hong raised his head, glanced at the little eunuch, frowned inadvertently, but didn't say much, just let out a noncommittal.

"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness King Zhou has been practicing martial arts with Li Boyao and Li Sijie in the mansion during this period, and has not made any other moves."

Although Li Hong didn't ask any questions, the little eunuch obviously knew what Li Hong was going to ask, so he didn't dare to be negligent, and rushed to report.

"Oh?" Li Hong nodded thoughtfully, but he didn't speak in a hurry. Instead, after pondering for a moment, he suddenly laughed and said, "Gu, the seventh brother, has always been lazy. Unexpectedly, he knows how to work hard now, but It’s also a good thing, um, I just don’t know how it’s been practiced?”

"Returning to His Highness, according to the information, His Royal Highness Zhou Wang has only practiced two exercises in the past two months, one is running circles, and the other is lifting stone locks, and the other ones have never seen His Royal Highness Zhou practice." Hearing Li Hong asked, A mocking smile appeared on the face of the little eunuch immediately, he pursed his lips, and replied with some disdain.

"Hmm, what happened? What's the reason?"

When Li Hong heard that Li Xian's martial arts practice was like this, he was taken aback immediately, and then questioned in disbelief.

"This matter is definitely not false, and the specific reason is not known to the slaves, but according to the informant, the aptitude of the King of Zhou is too poor, and Li Sijie is unwilling to teach him. He deliberately made it difficult for His Highness the King of Zhou, as if he wanted him to know the difficulty and retreat." The little eunuch bowed and replied with a smile.

"I see, poor seventh brother." Upon hearing such a reason, Li Hong couldn't help laughing, flicked his fingers on the table a few times unconsciously, raised his brows, and casually picked up the share in front of him. The playbook was slipped in his hand, and after playing with it for a while, he raised his hand and threw the playbook into the arms of the little eunuch, and ordered lightly: "Go, send this copybook to Zhou Prince's Mansion, let His Royal Highness King Zhou take a good look at it, let's go."

"Ah, yes."

The little eunuch took the memorial, glanced at it, his face changed instantly, but he didn't dare to ask more details, after a respectful reply, he left the hall, and went to Zhou Palace to deliver the memorial without mentioning it.

"Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, what on earth do you want to do?"

After the little eunuch left, Li Hong sat blankly for a while, murmured in a low voice, shook his head with a wry smile, and then continued to bury his head in the notebook.

for what?Not only Li Hong wants to know this question, but Li Xian himself also wants to know. It has been more than two months, and I have not seen Li Boyao teach any kung fu. Apart from running circles every day, he lifts the stone lock, or runs circles with the stone lock on his back. Tired as a dead dog, but he didn't learn anything, not to mention "The Art of Defense of the Duke of Wei", even equestrian skills, sword skills, spear skills and so on. Li Xian No matter how good your temper is, you can endure it to the limit.

A tall building begins with its foundation, and only when the foundation is solid can the building rise higher. It is impossible for Li Xian to understand this truth. Therefore, from the very beginning, Li Xian did not resist Li Boyao's arrangement to practice the foundation desperately. For more than a month, I have really obeyed Li Boyao's teaching completely, not to mention being lazy, and I have never complained. This move, Li Xian couldn't help it anymore, yes, it is necessary to lay the foundation, but it can't be done in this way, besides, even if you want to lay the foundation, then why should he Li Boyao come to teach you, there are so many warriors in the palace It's like rice, which one is not practiced from the basics. If Li Xian really wants to lay the foundation, he can just ask the guards in the mansion to point it out. Li Boyao's unclear way of doing things is obviously just a waste of money. Although Li Xian doesn't expect it You can become a peerless general, but you don't want Li Boyao to play around, do you?In addition to being annoyed, Li Xian did not intend to remain obedient any longer, and arrived at the small school early this morning, preparing for a final showdown with Li Boyao.

"At the end, I will see Your Highness."

Li Boyao's dedication to work may be questionable, but he is impeccable in terms of punctuality and etiquette. Regardless of whether Li Xian came early or late, Li Boyao always waited early in the small school grounds, and today is certainly the case. No exception, when seeing Li Xian leading the crowd, Li Boyao immediately greeted him with big strides, saluted meticulously and greeted him.

"General Li doesn't have to be like this, just excuse me, Xiao Wang has practiced a lot today, so I just ask General Li to show me."

Today, Li Xian made up his mind to have a showdown with Li Boyao, but he didn't intend to turn his back on him as soon as he came up, and still asked for instructions very politely.

"Please run five laps first, Your Highness, and then discuss the rest."

After Li Boyao saluted, he stood up straight and spoke in a leisurely manner.

lap?Another lap!I'll fuck it!Hearing that today is still running laps, Li Xian's heart became very angry. He glared at Li Boyao and wanted to turn his back on him. He turned around and ran away around the small school grounds. Not to mention, Li Xian has been tossing non-stop for the past two months. Although he hasn't learned a little bit of martial arts, his body is obviously stronger than before. Now, for Li Xian, the milky running laps are as smooth as drinking boiled water. After five laps, his muscles and bones are active, but he doesn't breathe very much, and his complexion is not as blue-gray as it used to be.

"General Li, Xiao Wang has completed five laps, how dare you ask the general what he will practice next?"

Although Li Xian didn't breathe very much, his breath was no longer as easy-going as in the past, and the word "仁" carried a strong sense of irony. It was obvious that Li Xian's patience had been exhausted.

"Lifting the stone lock, twelve groups, twelve strokes in each group."

Li Boyao replied calmly as if he didn't see Li Xian's face about to go mad.

What?It's okay, come on, there's no end to it!No matter how good-natured Li Xian is, when he heard it sounded the same old way, the anger in his heart could no longer be contained, he gritted his teeth, and said coldly: "Is there anything else, eh?"

"Your Highness doesn't have to do it, if so, the last general doesn't have to teach himself."

Li Boyao was not at all moved by Li Xian's sarcastic remarks, and replied calmly.

"Good, very good!"

Li Xian was going to get mad, but when he heard what Li Boyao said, he changed his mind, nodded with a livid face, and stopped talking nonsense, turned around and walked to the place where the stone locks were placed, picked up a pair of thirty-jin heavy locks Shi Suo started to practice without saying a word. Maybe it was the habit of practicing in the past, or maybe it was the result of being angry. It took Li Xian more than half an hour to complete the work that originally required more than an hour of practice. It's just that his breath was a little messed up, and he was panting a little more quickly, but Li Xian didn't plan to take a rest at all. He walked up to Li Boyao with a red face, shook his head, and shook off the beads of sweat all over his head and face. He drove away, looked at Li Boyao provocatively and said, "General Li, Xiao Wang wants to know what to do next?"

"That's it for today." Li Boyao glanced at Li Xian, with the same extremely calm expression, and even the tone of his voice didn't change a bit.

"Is that so? That's it?"

This time, Li Xian couldn't hold back anymore. He rolled his eyes fiercely, clenched his teeth, and said something eerie from the gap between his teeth.

"That's right, that's it." Li Boyao ignored Li Xian's white eyes, left without even looking at Li Xian, turned around and left.

You bastard, playing with me, courting death!Li Xian was furious, and was about to order a group of guards to stop Li Boyao, but before he could speak, Li Boyao uttered the last sentence without looking back: "From tomorrow, practice the sword!"

What?Have you practiced your sword?Ha, I finally made some progress, haha, this time I don’t need to run laps anymore, cool!Hehe, the sword is good, maybe we can really become a swordsman or something, enough strength!As soon as Li Xian heard that he was going to start practicing swords tomorrow, he was so happy that he couldn't help thinking about it. He finally came to his senses, and when he wanted to ask Li Boyao what happened, he suddenly found that he had left long ago. .

Eh, what are you doing walking so fast, really, I don't know what kind of knife you are practicing in vain, it's boring!Seeing that Li Boyao was gone, most of Li Xian's enthusiasm immediately dissipated, but there was nothing wrong with it, so he could only resist the turmoil in his heart, reached out to take the wet towel that Yan Hong handed over, and turned around while wiping it. Going to the mansion, I planned to go back and freshen up first, but unexpectedly, as soon as he lifted his foot, he saw Gao Miao hurriedly running from the gate of the western wall courtyard accompanied by a famous eunuch, Li Xian immediately said reservedly. Stand still.

"His Royal Highness, this is Wang Dequan, the deputy head of the Xiande Hall of the Eastern Palace. He came here at the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

When Gao Miao saw Li Xian standing there, he didn't dare to neglect, he trotted all the way to the front, hurriedly bowed, and introduced the little eunuch who was following him to Li Xian.

"My servant has seen His Royal Highness King Zhou."

Although Wang Dequan's rank was not high, he was the most useful person around the prince, and he had his own reserve. Even if he was presenting a gift to a prince like Li Xian, although the etiquette was correct, there was a hint of arrogance in his tone.

"Oh, it turns out that the prince is here, please excuse me, I don't know why the prince is here..."

Having had the experience of the previous life, Li Xian naturally knew what kind of person this little eunuch in front of him was, and he would not have the same knowledge as him, so he smiled and raised his hands, signaling Wang Dequan to be exempt, and asked kindly road.

"So that Your Highness can know that this servant is here to send a copybook to His Highness under the order of His Highness the Crown Prince, and please His Highness have a look at it." Wang Dequan took out a copybook from his wide sleeve while speaking, and held it with both hands. He held it and handed it to Li Xian.

"Oh?" Li Xian has been keeping a low profile these past few months, not to mention participating in government affairs, even his own family seldom goes out. It's really amazing to hear the crown prince rushing to send a copy. Some words were inexplicable, but I didn't think much about it, I reached out and took the booklet, and I was dumbfounded just by looking at it.
