Chapter 0259 Its hard to guess Li Xiaogongs thoughts
Li Xiaogong sat firmly on the couch in the thatched cottage. He waited until Li Yuanji poured him a cup of red dates and barley tea again, then he picked up the cup and said unsatisfied: "I haven't practiced for half a month, and my hands are raw."
, otherwise I will have to beat him a few more times."
Although Li Yuanji didn't understand what it had to do with not practicing for half a month and whether he could get a few more hits, he still agreed: "It's already pretty good. If it were me, I could only hit him once."
After one blow, the bamboo stick was either split or cracked, making it impossible to hit him again.
Li Xiaogong couldn't hear the deep meaning in Li Yuanji's words, thinking that Li Yuanji was flattering him, and hummed with satisfaction while holding the tea cup.
Yu Wenbao looked aggrieved and moved to the edge of the thatched cottage, staring straight at Li Yuanji, hoping that Li Yuanji would give him an order to fight back.
So that he can regain his place.
"What's the matter, you're still not convinced?"
Li Xiaogong saw Yu Wenbao's thoughts, knocked the tea cup on the low table, stared and asked.
Yu Wenbao ignored Li Xiaogong, but stared at Li Yuanji, waiting for Li Yuanji to give orders.
Of course he was not convinced.
No one will be convinced if they are beaten for no reason.
Li Yuanji glanced at Yu Wenbao and said in a neutral tone: "Okay, stop looking at me. I won't order you to fight back."
Yu Wenbao stared with confusion on his face.
When did our Prince Qi’s family suffer such bullying?
Li Yuanji looked at Yu Wenbao and said, "He beat you just to vent his anger. In return, he will help you get promoted."
Before Yu Wenbao could speak, Li Xiaogong suddenly became anxious and said, "Don't talk too much. I only agreed to give him a try, but I didn't promise that I would definitely help him get promoted."
When Yu Wenbao heard this, his temper also rose, "It's enough for me to have the support of His Highness, I don't need you."
Li Xiaogong immediately became happy, pointed at Yu Wenbao and said to Li Yuanji: "You heard it, he said this himself."
Li Yuanji's face turned dark immediately, he glared at Yu Wenbao and shouted, "Get out of here."
You are really a person who succeeds only when you fail. I have worked so hard to help you build a platform. Is it easy for me?
As soon as you came up, you dismantled the table.
Yu Wenbao reluctantly stepped aside.
Li Yuanji looked at Li Xiaogong and said, "Cousin, don't listen to his nonsense. I'll leave his affairs to my cousin. From now on, when he works under my cousin, please ask my cousin to teach him more."
Li Xiaogong said reluctantly: "I may not be able to teach him."
Yu Wenbao's eyes widened when he heard Li Yuanji's words, "Your Highness, you don't want to be a minister anymore?"
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes at Yu Wenbao, "I didn't say I didn't want you, I just asked you to work in Zuojianmen Mansion to help you save some qualifications."
Yu Wenbao hurriedly said: "If I don't go to Zuojianmen Mansion, I will follow His Highness all the time."
Li Yuanji was too lazy to explain his thoughts and thoughts to Yu Wenbao, and he couldn't explain it. He said directly and arrogantly: "Go if you are told. This is an order. Don't give me nonsense."
Yu Wenbao opened his mouth, eager to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
When the master and the servant were talking, Li Xiaogong's eyes kept lingering on the master and the servant. When the master and the servant stopped talking, he slowly spoke, "This idiot is not really worthless. He still has some merits.
of."
When Li Yuanji saw Li Xiaogong looking at Yu Wenbao with a hint of appreciation, he knew that Li Xiaogong was telling the truth.
Li Yuanji also guessed what Li Xiaogong admired about Yu Wenbao.
That is loyalty.
Li Yuanji smiled calmly and said: "There is only one redeeming feature, not worth mentioning."
Li Xiaogong suddenly said with a melancholy look on his face: "It's already very rare and valuable."
Li Yuanji smiled and nodded, roughly guessing what Li Xiaogong was melancholy about.
Before Li Xiaogong resigned as the general manager of Jingzhou, the civil and military personnel under his command were no less than those in Li Shimin's house.
If everyone was as loyal as Yu Wenbao, Li Yuan would not be able to summon Li Xiaogong back to the capital casually, let alone ignore Li Xiaogong casually.
After all, although the power controlled by Li Yuan is powerful, the power controlled by Li Xiaogong is also not small.
After Li Xiaogong fell into melancholy, the conversation became less interesting.
After chatting with Li Yuanji wordlessly for a while, he took the initiative to leave.
After Li Xiaogong left, Li Yuanji drove Yu Wenbao away arbitrarily and sat alone in the thatched cottage, lost in thought.
He didn't understand why Li Xiaogong suddenly instigated him to fight for that position today and even offered to help.
Is Li Xiaogong testing him, or does he really want to help him fight for that position, or does he have ulterior motives?
He couldn't see clearly for a moment.
His understanding of Li Xiaogong was limited to the period after Li Xiaogong returned to Beijing.
After Li Xiaogong returned to Beijing, apart from having close contact with him, he did not have much contact with anyone else.
So it’s really hard to guess what Li Xiaogong is thinking.
Li Yuanji kept thinking about the sunset, but he couldn't think of a clue. He could only keep the matter in his heart for the time being, and ordered the guards at the house to pack their things and return home.
When we descended from Jiulongtan Mountain, it was already dark.
Li Yuanji returned to the Jingshe courtyard by the moonlight and the candlelight coming from the Jingshe courtyard.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Yang Miaoyan leading a group of maids and maids, coming out of one of the side rooms and walking into the other side room.
The people living in the side room were the royal family members who were beaten so hard that they couldn't get out of bed.
Yang Miaoyan would take people to see them in the morning, noon and evening, asking them how well their bodies were and what they needed.
He fully demonstrated his kindness to them.
Li Yuanji felt that Yang Miaoyan was doing useless work, but he did not interfere too much.
Li Yuanji knew very well that the reason why these young men were arrogant and domineering was because they were spoiled by their family members. The favor they had experienced was far beyond what Yang Miaoyan could compare with a few words of greetings.
Therefore, no matter how much Yang Miaoyan cared about them, he could not move them.
On the contrary, long whips, broad boards, and sharp knives moved them more.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When Yang Miaoyan came out of the penultimate side room, there were three more little tails behind him.
After seeing Li Yuanji's figure, his body suddenly froze.
Yang Miaoyan also saw Li Yuanji and the reaction of the three and a half young men, and said somewhat funny: "Don't be afraid, I will support you."
The courage of the three and a half young men was suddenly full, but after seeing Li Yuanji's half-smiling expression, his courage suddenly disappeared and his head drooped.
"Aunt, it's getting late. It's time for my nephew to go back to the house and have a good rest."
Chai Lingwu didn't dare to raise his head, dropped a word, and quickly ran back into the house.
"Your Majesty, the same goes for my nephew."
"Fourth sister-in-law, I'm sleepy too."
"..."
Li Chongyi and Li Xiaotong said nothing before running back into the house.
"Hey, what are you afraid of?"
Yang Miaoyan waved her hand to say hello, but no one answered her.
I could only tell the maids to go down first, then walked up to Li Yuanji and gave Li Yuanji a dumbfounded look, "Look, you scared the children."
Li Yuanji spread his hands and said innocently: "I didn't do anything, and I didn't say anything."
Yang Miaoyan said angrily: "It's even scarier if you don't say anything."
Li Yuanji said funnyly: "Then what should I say?"
Yang Miaoyan smiled bitterly and said, "Let's forget it. They tremble when they hear you speak now."
Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment and said suspiciously: "Really or not?"
Yang Miaoyan nodded slightly, "It's more real than real gold."
Li Yuanji said doubtfully: "Why don't I believe it?"
Can a group of dandies be whipped into obedient children with just one whip?
how can that be possible?
"How about I go try?"
Li Yuanji stepped towards the side room, ready to confirm Yang Miaoyan's words.
Yang Miaoyan grabbed Li Yuanji's sleeve and said angrily and funny: "You'd better not go, otherwise they won't be able to sleep well tonight."
Li Yuanji glanced into the side room unwillingly, and was dragged back to the main room of the jingshe by Yang Miaoyan.
Under Yang Miaoyan's care, he took off his boots and washed his feet, "How are their injuries?"
Yang Miaoyan washed Li Yuanji's feet while saying, "Lingwu, Chongyi, and Xiaotong's injuries are almost healed in the future, and they can already get out of bed. It will take more than half a month for the others to recover."
Li Yuanji nodded.
The three of them, Chai Lingwu and Chai Lingwu, received less whipping and were punished quickly, which is reasonable.
Others received more whips, and he also strictly ordered the officers and soldiers of the Tongjun Mansion to be beaten to the point where they could not get out of bed for a month. It is reasonable to take it slower.
"Since Lingwu and the other three are able to move, let them first practice their martial arts with Shixin."
Li Yuanji thought for a while and said.
Yang Miaoyan was stunned for a moment and said, "Aren't you going to let them worship at the gate of Duke Yan?"
Li Yuanji shook his head slightly, "They are different from Wang Xuance and Yu Wenbao. If they want to become Shixin's sect, their elders have to go to Shixin to make a proposal."
The four of them, Wang Xuance, don't have any military strategies or martial arts worthy of being passed down in their families.
They became a disciple of Luo Shixin and felt no pressure.
Luo Shixin accepted them without any pressure.
Chai Lingwu, Li Chongyi, and Li Xiaotong are different. Their families have military strategies and martial arts worthy of being passed down from generation to generation.
Their fathers' achievements on the battlefield are currently much higher than Luo Shixin's.
Therefore, if they want to worship Luo Shixin, it depends on whether the elders in the family are willing.
Whether Luo Shixin is willing to accept them depends on whether Luo Shixin has enough confidence to teach them to become talents.
After all, the achievements of his father's generation are much higher than Luo Shixin's.
If someone is confident that he can teach his son well, there is no need to trouble Luo Shixin.
If Luo Shixin didn't have enough confidence to teach them well, he wouldn't be able to teach them well.
Yang Miaoyan said thoughtfully: "Then let them work hard with Duke Yan first."
Li Yuanji nodded.
After washing my feet, I changed my clothes, and went to sleep accompanied by the roars of apes and beasts coming from the depths of Jiulongtan Mountain.
