After all, that was Li Jing, a first-grade general. Even if he was semi-retired, he was still a founding hero!
Of course, Muchuan concealed his utilitarian thinking in front of Temujin, and instead acted aloof and said: "What I like is your people. As long as you are willing to do things for me, it doesn't matter where you are."
Origin.
The so-called heroes don’t ask where they come from.”
"Master Mu...Thank you, Master Mu, for the compliment!"
"Haha, you're welcome."
Muchuan and Temujin had a great conversation. After such a long conversation, he gained an understanding of the burly man in front of him.
Afterwards, Muchuan waved his hand and asked Temujin to go back to the kitchen and continue working hard. After all, it was almost lunch time, and he could look forward to the dishes cooked by Temujin.
However, Temujin Dali did not leave. Suddenly he came to Muchuan, bowed heavily at 90 degrees, and asked seriously: "I dare to ask your lord something... I wonder if your lord is satisfied with the sweet-scented osmanthus cake cooked by this villain?"
“Satisfied, satisfied!”
It is incredible to say that Muchuan obtained the recipe of Osmanthus Cake from the system, and then wrote out the recipe and told Temujin to give it a rough copy, and he was able to copy it immediately, which was amazing and amazing.
This also deepened Muchuan's thinking that he had really found a treasure!
Temujin Dali heard that Muchuan was satisfied with the cakes, so he said: "Since the Lord is satisfied, I dare to make a request to the Lord."
"oh?"
In ancient society, if a person of lower class took the initiative to make a request, it was often regarded as rude.
It can range from a fight to a serious blow, to beheading.
From this point of view, Temujin was really brave and courageous, and he was not afraid of bumping into Muchuan.
Now Muchuan was also curious, what kind of request would Temujin Dali make?
Lots of money?
Or is it a part-time job?
"Dali, tell me what kind of request you have?
If it is within my ability, I will try my best to fulfill it.”
"The villain is incompetent and wants to compete with the adults!"
A jousting contest?
Damn it, why is it a martial arts competition again? Do you think these ancient people only know how to fight and kill? Muchuan thought in horror.
No wonder Muchuan thought so, after all, Qin Qiong had a fight with him not long ago.
However, Muchuan's least favorite thing is fighting. Isn't it the behavior of a barbarian to move around all day long?
As a modern civilized person, he doesn't want to do that kind of thing.
After taking a deep breath, Muchuan asked kindly: "Dali...why does this good Duanduan want to compete with me?
You also know that I am a civil servant and am not good at martial arts competitions."
"Master Mu, even if you want to hide it, it's useless, I already know it!"
"what do you know?"
"Master Mu has unparalleled martial arts skills and is invincible in any battle!"
Later, I heard Temujin speak in detail and learned that he heard it from Li Jing, and Li Jing heard it from Cheng Yaojin.
This is probably how rumors are formed, spreading from one to two, and then to four.
Muchuan could not help but be so cruel to Cheng Yaojin that he could not help but be so cruel to Cheng Yaojin. How could this old man still love gossip at this age and talk about Muchuan's affairs everywhere?
In desperation, Muchuan could only say: "There is some misunderstanding about this matter. I am not familiar with martial arts..."
"Master Mu, please obey me!"
Temujin said in a sonorous voice, and then expressed a wish in his heart.
In fact, Temujin Dali was not willing to enter the minister's mansion and become a cook. Being a cook was not what he wanted.
The main reason why he came to the Minister's Mansion was that Temujin strongly hoped to use Muchuan's power to get promoted and learn martial arts to improve his strength so that he could make contributions to the Tang Dynasty and serve the country in the future.
"Please forgive me, Lord Mu...forgive me for being so greedy and dirty."
Muchuan was obviously greatly moved by Temujin. He did not expect that the other party would be so honest, so he directly revealed his true purpose and thoughts.
If he were a real villain, he would not tell his purpose so easily, but Temujin was so powerful and did not have so many taboos. He said whatever came to his mind. This is not stupidity, but a kind of frankness, which is what a gentleman does.
Muchuan immediately had a high opinion of Temujin and felt that Temujin was a talent that could be created.
"I understand, so you want to challenge me?
If I am better than you, will you learn from me?"
"Yes."
"Then what if I lose?
My martial arts skills are not higher than yours, so what do you think of Dali?"
"This..." Temujin was at a loss for words. Apparently he had never thought that Muchuan would lose to him. After all, Li Jing described Muchuan as being miraculous, as if he had the power of a god.
Seeing Temujin like this, Muchuan didn't want to embarrass him, so he laughed and said, "I understand, let's compete first! Follow me!"
At the same time, the palace of Chang'an City and the back hall.
The sun was shining brightly in spring, and in the pavilion at the four corners of the apse courtyard, there was a young woman.
The woman wears a light green lotus dress and has a jade hairpin on her head. She stands tall and graceful. This person is Princess Gaoyang.
Every noon she would enjoy the scenery in the garden in front of the pavilion, looking at the colorful flowers and plants around her, and she couldn't help but feel cheerful.
"Princess, the news about Lord Muchuan has been received."
Next to the princess is a long-haired palace maid.
"oh?
Did Muchuan cause any trouble in Chang'an City recently?
tell me the story."
"There are two things."
At that moment, the long-haired palace maid shared the story of Qin Qiong's defeat in the martial arts competition with Muchuan, and the fact that Muchuan was about to participate in the "Poetry and Literature Conference" held by the Qin Palace.
After Princess Gao Yang learned about it, she couldn't help but smile brightly: "This Muchuan is really interesting. I am worthy of my princess' love for him. He is really talented in both civil and military skills. If he gets it in another ten years, he will become a great person... His achievements
His great achievements may not be lost to those of his eldest grandson."
Speaking of the most meritorious hero in the Tang Dynasty, Changsun Wuji will definitely come to mind.
Changsun Wuji, the leader of the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, was granted the title of General, Prime Minister, and Prince. He was the biological brother of Queen Changsun. He held military power and was powerful.
Originally, Changsun Wuji was the prime minister next to Li Shimin, that is, a high position "under one person and above ten thousand people". However, because he had too much power and was the uncle of several princes, Changsun Wuji took the initiative to prevent others from criticizing him.
Resign from the position of prime minister and reduce his power.
This can also be regarded as Changsun Wuji's strategy. The so-called high place is too cold, and if the power is too great, it will only arouse the suspicion of the royal family.
Despite this, even today, even if Changsun Wuji does not have an important position in the court, everyone in the court will respect him with respect.
In the heart of Princess Gaoyang, Changsun Wuji is the one who is above the rest. However, in comparison, although Muchuan is just a minister of household affairs, his growth potential is far higher than that of others.
