Looking at the single direct lineage, the Li family can definitely be regarded as a huge clan with many descendants.
Not only did Li Yuan's generation have many brothers and sisters, but Li Yuanji's generation also had many brothers and sisters, and there were even more people from Li Chengqian's generation that could not be counted.
Li Yuanji had never even heard of or seen some of them.
But he is indeed a descendant of the Li family, and his name is recorded on the clan's jade plate.
It is precisely because of this that if someone needs to set an example for his younger brothers, and if someone needs to teach his younger brothers by words and deeds, Li Yuanji only needs to use the authority of his direct lineage to grab a lot of them.
However, just to educate Li Chengye, Li Chengqian is enough, and there is no need for so many people.
Li Yuanji did not want his Jiudao Palace to become a nursery.
After educating Li Chengqian and Li Chengye, and handing over the education work of Li Chengye to Li Chengqian, Li Yuanji became the shopkeeper.
Sitting there, he watched with great interest as Li Chengqian used his waxy voice and serious expression to tell Li Chengye some of the great truths his mother and concubine had said.
The tendency to be a teacher is a common problem shared by many descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties.
I don’t know if I can gain some sense of superiority through this, gain others’ praise, or be self-satisfied. Anyway, the descendants of Yan and Huang are active and enthusiastic when it comes to educating people.
It seems like everyone wants to talk to anyone they catch.
It is precisely because of this that Li Chengqian spoke to Li Chengye very seriously and energetically.
He didn't stop until Li Chengye fell asleep.
Perhaps it was his first time as a teacher and he had fresh energy, so after Li Chengye fell asleep, Li Chengqian carried Li Chengye to bed on his back no matter what, and was ready to tell Li Chengye the big story that he had not finished talking about as soon as Li Chengye woke up.
reason.
Li Yuanji felt relieved when he saw that Li Chengqian was so energetic, Li Chengqian's great cause of education, and Li Chengye's great cause of being educated.
After the two little guys lay on the bed and fell asleep in various directions, they left the dormitory with their hands behind their backs and rushed to the side hall.
As soon as I arrived at the side hall, Li Jiancheng's reply arrived.
The person who came to deliver the message was a man Li Yuanji had never seen before, and he had a strong Youzhou aura about him.
The reason why Li Yuanji could tell that the aura of the person who was delivering the message, which was different from that of Chang'an, was that of Youzhou, was because he had seen this aura at Weize Pass before.
Xue Wanshu and others carried this kind of aura when they first came out of Youzhou.
Tough, reckless, straightforward, with two blushes on his cheeks from the cold weather in winter, he looked like he came from a place colder than Chang'an, and he seemed to have been in the military for a long time.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Chengyong, comes to see you."
A burly man named Zhao Chengyong with a strong air about him, after entering the side hall, he cupped his fists and saluted.
It can't be said to be respectful, nor can it be said to be unwilling.
It's the kind of simple attitude a subordinate in the military would have when meeting a superior.
Simple and neat.
"Zhao Chengyong...why haven't I seen you before?"
Li Yuanji looked Zhao Chengyong up and down and felt that Zhao Chengyong's figure was somewhat similar to Kan Leng, but not as tall as Kan Leng.
After all, Kan Leng has gone beyond the category of normal people and belongs to the ranks of giants. Otherwise, he would not be able to wield a ten-foot-long clapping knife...
But even so, Zhao Chengyong is still half a head taller than a normal person. Coupled with his large frame and black armor and stomach, he gives people the feeling of a warrior.
Li Yuanji can be sure that this feeling is definitely not just a feeling, but a real thing.
This is a warrior.
A warrior with a high status among the Youyun Cavalry under Li Yi.
Otherwise, he would not have ridden out of Youyun and been directly driven by Li Jiancheng.
Zhao Chengyong heard Li Yuanji's words and replied straightforwardly: "I just arrived in Chang'an!"
There was no hiding it at all, it seemed that there was nothing shameful about his identity.
Li Yuanji guessed at the same time
Guessing Li Jiancheng's intention in sending this person here, he continued to ask: "Is he from Youzhou?"
Zhao Chengyong nodded without hesitation and said: "Yes, I am indeed from Youzhou. I previously served as a cavalryman for a state under the command of His Highness King Yan."
Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect this guy named Zhao Chengyong to be so straightforward. He could almost answer all questions without any taboo or concealment.
This made Li Yuanji, who was accustomed to hearing all kinds of covert lies, a little uncomfortable for a while.
"So, you are still a general?"
Li Yuanji complimented casually.
Although the Yizhou charioteer is just a moderate official in the city of Chang'an, he is not as good as the superiors but more than the inferiors.
In Prince Qi's palace, he was a middle-to-lower official, which is where Kan Leng is now.
But in Youzhou, especially under Li Yi, he is a high official, and he is a capable high official.
After all, Li Yi's territory is only that big, and the people he can appoint as a state rider are either people he trusts, or people who are capable or have meritorious services.
He can be regarded as a general under his command.
The best among them have all experienced harsh battles and have stood out in bloody battles again and again.
The reason why there are no higher achievements is not that they are not capable enough, but that Li Yi's pond is too small. They can only grow them into fat fish, but not big fish.
As long as they leave Li Yi's pond and completely fall into the pond of Tang Dynasty, when the opportunity comes, they will quickly transform into big fish and achieve the achievement that many people are striving to achieve: immediately becoming a marquis or becoming a duke. .
Just like the Xue brothers, after they left the small pond of Li Yi and moved to the big pond of the Tang Dynasty, their official rank, salary and other aspects have been linearly improved.
If Zhao Chengyong had a certain chance, it would be no problem to be granted the title of Marquis.
As for being granted a public title?
It is unlikely in the short term because there is no such opportunity.
The enemies within the Tang Dynasty have been basically cleaned up. There is no chance for a big battle, and there is no chance to capture or kill the leader of the thief alive.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If you want to become a prince again, you can only win it from the power of Conglong and the war against the Turks after the Tang Dynasty.
But if you want to obtain the power of Conglong, there are considerable risks.
Judging from the people who follow Zhao Chengyong, Zhao Chengyong's hope of obtaining the power of Conglong is slim.
The Tang Dynasty would not start a war against the Turks within three to five years.
Because the Tang Dynasty had just experienced the unification war, and now it was deeply involved in the turmoil of seizing the direct descendants. Whether it was to recuperate and gather strength, or to prevent the Turks from taking advantage of the trouble caused by the seizure of the direct descendants, the Tang Dynasty would not be able to do so in a short time.
Attacking the Turks...
Therefore, it is very slim for Zhao Chengyong to seek meritorious service by conquering the Turkic wars.
"I'm just a tough guy, not a general."
After Zhao Chengyong heard Li Yuanji's words, he said with a simple smile.
Li Yuanji slowly came back to his senses and smiled to himself.
He was laughing at himself.
I laughed at myself to see if there was something wrong with my brain. I actually cared about the future of an outsider and thought about it carefully.
Immediately, Li Yuanji retracted his mind and said with a smile: "It's already great to be able to withstand the beating. For example, some of the people under my second brother are already Dukes and Marquises, but they still can't withstand the beating.
After beating."
Zhao Chengyong had just arrived in Chang'an City. He didn't know the stakes in these words. Those who had been beaten were afraid of losing face and would not publicize this. So when he heard this, he said cheerfully: "I can definitely do it."
He who can withstand a beating can also withstand a beating."
Li Yuanji was stunned and asked with a bright smile: "How about we have a fight sometime?"
Zhao Chengyong entered Chang'an City for the first time. He didn't know how powerful the gangsters in Chang'an City were, so he immediately nodded in agreement. However, as soon as he lowered his head a little, he thought that he came here for business.
Immediately, he said with a half-hearted smile: "I almost forgot
Okay, I have some business to discuss with His Highness when I come here this time. After I finish discussing the business with His Highness, I wonder what your Highness would like to talk about the business."
Li Yuanji was just having a bad taste for a moment, and did not intend to actually fight with Zhao Chengyong and bully others, so he nodded and said: "Then let's talk about business first."
[Recommended, @@ Zhuishu is really useful, everyone should try it soon.]
Zhao Chengyong looked serious and said seriously: "I came here this time under the order of my Highness to reply to the conditions put forward by His Highness. My Highness said so and he agreed to the conditions put forward by His Highness.
It's just that the time has to be pushed back, and His Highness's conditions cannot be met now.
Because the few people His Highness wants are still useful to my Highness.
Finally, my Highness hopes that His Highness will keep his promise and keep his mouth shut."
Li Yuanji responded casually, "This is natural. A gentleman's words are hard to catch up with."
As for whether you really want to keep your promise, that depends on the situation.
After all, Li Jiancheng hasn't paid yet, and he hasn't given a deposit, so there's no reason why he has to keep his promise to Li Jiancheng.
"Even so, I will go back and resume my duties first."
Zhao Chengyong said with a smile.
Just as Li Yuanji was about to nod, he heard Zhao Chengyong say again: "But before going back, I can tell His Highness what I have done."
Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "Are you serious? It seems that you are a guy who likes to be brave and aggressive."
Zhao Chengyong chuckled and said: "I don't like to be brave and fierce, I just like to hone my skills with the help of people with strong martial arts skills."
Li Yuanji nodded and said: "He is a person who knows how to make progress, not bad. But let's forget about the things that happened with me. Otherwise, if you suffer a loss and spread the word, others will say that I deliberately picked on you and bullied you."
The smile on Zhao Chengyong's face froze, and he became anxious and shouted: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will definitely use my ability to compete with Your Highness, and I will never show mercy just because of Your Highness's distinguished status.
"
Li Yuanji opened his mouth, dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.
This is really a heartless person who dares to say anything without fear of offending others.
This kind of person is actually quite good.
As long as you conquer his heart, he will follow you loyally for the rest of his life.
It's a pity that I followed the wrong person.
Destined to become a victim.
Li Yuanji was now very curious as to how Li Yi thought of giving such a person to Li Jiancheng so that Li Jiancheng could use it for palace affairs and assassinations.
This person is obviously not suitable for doing this kind of thing.
He is more suitable to command troops and fight...
