Seeing that Li Yuanji looked dumbfounded but did not speak, Zhao Chengyong thought that Li Yuanji was afraid of losing, so he quickly added, "If your highness is afraid that if the news spreads about losing, it will damage your reputation, I can keep your mouth shut."
Li Yuanji really lost his temper with this straight-faced guy, and immediately said in a state of laughter and tears: "I'm not afraid of losing, I'm just afraid that if you lose, if the news spreads, others will say that I bully others."
Zhao Chengyong stared and shouted: "How could it be?!"
Li Yuanji smiled and asked, "Why not?"
Without waiting for Zhao Chengyong to speak, Li Yuanji smiled and said: "Okay, if you really want to fight with me, then go to Chang'an City and find out who I have fought with in the past, and then make a decision."
Zhao Chengyong stared anxiously and wanted to speak, but Li Yuanji waved his hand and said: "If you have finished asking and know who I have crossed paths with in the past, and you decide to cross paths with me, then just come to me, I will never
I won’t refuse again.”
Zhao Chengyong saw that Li Yuanji had made up his mind and seemed to say that he would never fight with him. He was unwilling to do so, but he was not qualified to force him. He could only cup his hands and say: "In that case, I will go and ask about it. I will wait for you to ask."
When it’s over, I’ll come to the door again. I hope His Highness won’t thank you behind closed doors.”
Li Yuanji said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will not turn away anyone who comes to compete with me."
Zhao Chengyong nodded stiffly and stopped talking.
Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, then thought about it again, and said with a smile: "You don't still want me to create a letter for you, do you?"
Zhao Chengyong said with an honest smile: "Things written in black and white cannot be denied."
Li Yuanji pointed at the door of the palace, smiled and cursed: "No matter what, I am still a prince. Even if I spit out a spit, I can still make a hole. How can I go back on my word?"
Get out of here right away!"
Zhao Chengyong quickly straightened his expression, bowed and walked out of the palace. However, when he reached the entrance of the palace, he paused, turned around and cupped his hands and said, "I take what His Highness said seriously. If His Highness,
If you don't keep your word, don't blame me for speaking out."
Li Yuanji cursed angrily: "Get out of here!"
Zhao Chengyong smiled honestly, bowed again, and completely disappeared at the entrance of the palace.
Li Yuanji looked at the place where Zhao Chengyong disappeared, shook his head in confusion and said: "It's still a little smooth, not so angular or rigid..."
It should be regarded as an enhanced version of Yu Wenbao and Kan Leng.
There is Yu Wenbao's tact and loyalty, and Kan Leng's honesty and loyalty.
Obviously, smoothness and straightforwardness are two completely different personalities, but they happened to come from him alone, and he blended them just right.
He is extremely honest when he should be honest, and he is not dull when he should be tactful.
This reminded Li Yuanji of Yuchi Gong.
Yuchi Gong is such a person.
When it's time to be honest, he is so honest that no one can stop him except Li Shimin.
When it's time to be tactful, he's not stiff at all. If you want to find a way to deal with him, you won't be able to find one.
This kind of person is very suitable whether he stays as a guard commander or is released as a vanguard general.
It's a pity that there is already a master, and the ending seems to be doomed.
Otherwise, Li Yuanji wouldn't mind recruiting one or two.
"Otherwise... send someone to talk to Li Yi and ask Li Yi to find someone else to help Li Jiancheng?"
Li Yuanji had such an idea in his mind for no reason, but it didn't last long before he rejected it.
What Li Jiancheng is doing now is a major matter of seizing the throne, and he is at a critical moment. How can he change the people around him at will?
Even if Li Yi is persuaded, Li Yi may not be able to get the person back.
Just like the Xue brothers, since they have arrived at Prince Qi's Mansion, they are from Prince Qi's Mansion. It is simply impossible for Li Yi to go back.
"Since I can't change it, and I won't come back, then forget it."
Li Yuanji slightly leaned back on the sofa
On my last trip, I sighed sincerely.
There were many famous generals in the early Tang Dynasty, and there were even more capable ones. Those worthy of recruiting were like carps crossing the river, but not everyone could be recruited, and not everyone could be recruited.
Looking at someone, loving someone, and recruiting someone are not good habits.
The words about all the talents in the world coming into my possession are just a joke and cannot be taken seriously.
In this era where strange people like to live in seclusion, there are countless sages in the countryside.
There are many people who are unwilling to serve the Tang Dynasty and are unwilling to pursue fame and fortune.
It is impossible to recruit them all, and it is impossible to include them all.
So you have to adapt to the regret of not being able to meet talented people.
With this regret, Li Yuanji observed Li Chengqian teaching Li Chengye in Jiudao Palace for three days.
During these three days, Li Chengye almost spared no effort in teaching Li Chengye.
When eating and drinking, teach Li Chengye the rules for eating and drinking. When walking, sitting and lying down, teach Li Chengye the rules for walking, sitting and lying down.
When he encounters something or discovers something, he will also teach Li Chengye the truth behind it.
Li Yuanji could see that Li Chengqian wanted to teach Li Chengye what he did and what he seemed to understand.
Most of these things he learned from his mother's eldest grandson.
It was also through these things that Li Yuanji learned that the eldest grandson was really harsh in educating his son.
The rules are almost so detailed that you are not allowed to make too much noise when coughing, and you are not allowed to make the slightest noise when eating.
The principles have also been instilled to the point where only ten-year-old children need to learn and understand them.
The education of the royal family, especially a royal family whose entire family is full of perverts, is terrifying.
Li Yuanji didn't know how the late Empress Taimu taught her children. If the late Empress Taimu taught her children in this way, then he had to be happy for his predecessor. Fortunately, he was not taken seriously by Empress Taimu and was not ignored.
Queen Taimu's horrific education ruined her childhood.
In order to give Li Chengqian a bit of childhood, in order to allow Li Chengqian to get along with his brothers and sisters like a child in an ordinary family when he grows up.
Li Yuanji had to instill in Li Chengqian some of his attitudes and views on rules, as well as some of the principles he had learned when Li Chengqian was teaching Li Chengye.
But Li Chengqian didn't like to listen very much, and he couldn't really listen to it.
Just like his student Li Chengye, he didn't like to hear him talk about rules and principles, and he didn't really listen to the rules and principles he taught.
Instead, Li Chengqian was more interested in Xue Wanbei's unique armor.
Xue Wanbei came the day after Xue Wanshu returned home. He brought his armor, weapons, and books that he usually liked to read, and quietly arrived at Jiudao Palace.
He didn't need anyone to take care of him or ask questions, so he just looked for a place in the weakest defense area of Jiudao Palace and built a secluded grass nest to live in.
The armor I carry with me is an old armor from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. It should be a family heirloom. Its shape is different from Sui armor and Tang armor.
Li Chengqian has never seen it, so he hopes to see it, touch it, and preferably try it on his body again.
Xue Wanbei was not as spineless as his brother. He decisively refused Li Chengqian's rude request.
Then Li Chengqian approached Li Yuanji, hoping that Li Yuanji would tell Xue Wanbei and let him try on the armor passed down from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.
Faced with Li Chengqian's somewhat rude request, Li Yuanji decisively refused, and gave the reason, "Since it was passed down from the previous dynasty, it should be the treasure armor heirloomed by the Xue family, enshrined in the Ancestral Temple with your grandfather.
Just like the one inside, it has been soaked in the blood and sweat of our ancestors and cannot be easily worn by outsiders."
Li Chengqian raised his head slightly and said seriously: "But what should I do if I really want to try it?"
Li Yuanji put down the document he was reading, stared at Li Chengqian, and said equally seriously: "Then let your father
You can help me find one for you, or ask your father to ask the person who will be the supervisor to help you build one according to the pattern.
Don't ever think about using your power to bully others or take advantage of others.
I don’t allow it.”
Li Chengqian stared at Li Yuanji blankly.
Although Li Yuanji's words were spoken softly, Li Chengqian still heard it without a doubt.
Especially the last sentence "I don't allow it" sounded irresistible to him.
"Okay, let's go down and find Chengye. If your father doesn't help you find it, or doesn't let the person who will be the supervisor help you build one, you can tell me and I will order the person who will be the supervisor to help you build one.
.
Anyway, the young prisoner who will be the prisoner is now in Jiulongtan Mountain."
Li Yuanji waved his hand to Li Chengqian and said casually, indicating that Li Chengqian could go down.
Although Li Chengqian was unwilling to do so, Li Yuanji's attitude was clear. He could not continue to stalk Li Yuanji in front of him, so he immediately bowed politely and exited the pavilion.
As soon as Li Chengqian left, Li Xiaogong stepped on the wooden boards in the corridor and appeared with a creaking sound.
As soon as they met, without waiting for Li Yuanji to speak, he picked up the teapot on the low table and took a sip.
Li Yuanji waved his hand to the maid, indicating that the maid could pack the teapot and give it to Li Xiaogong to take away.
Li Xiaogong poured a pot of tea, took a deep breath, and began to complain with a satisfied look on his face, "Tell me, you, instead of living in such a convenient place as the Shanxia Jingshe, came to live here, and it hurt us.
To find you, we have to climb half a mountain, which is very inconvenient."
Li Yuanji pretended not to hear what Li Xiaogong said. After ordering someone to prepare a couch for Li Xiaogong and serving tea, he slowly said: "You worked so hard to climb half the mountain and come to me.
, you’re not just here to complain to me, are you?”
"of course not!"
Li Xiaogong shouted, and unceremoniously stepped back as the master, and then continued: "A fool came down from the mountain and said he wanted to spar with you. Because he was wearing armor, he was stopped by Zuo Wuwei's people.
Got off.
That fool said that you agreed to spar with him and welcomed him anytime, anywhere, so I came to help Zuo Wuwei's people to ask if it was indeed true and should I let him go?"
