One by one, wild animals were picked up by the imperial army and hung on the victory hook of Baigui's saddle.
"teacher……"
"I didn't expect the teacher's shooting skills to be so good."
Li Tai, who was riding on the horse, showed a hint of joy in his eyes. He clamped the horse's belly and came close to Bai Gui, with a smile on his face.
Although the scribes understood the art of archery, it was one of the six arts of Confucianism after all. However, in the archery garden located in Xuepan, most of the practice was foot archery. The archery art Bai Gui showed off at this moment was horse archery.
Although there seems to be a word difference between the two, they have different meanings.
He has learned horse shooting and is so proficient in it, which shows that he has an absolute understanding of martial arts. Talents with both civil and military skills will be looked down upon wherever they go.
Li Tai was also surprised that Bai Gui was so proficient in archery, but he thought of Bai Gui's master Zheng Taoist who could pray for rain, so he was not surprised by this. Taoism, as it sounds, is just
It's better than martial arts. Having a master who knows Taoism and some martial arts is not a big surprise.
"Gui grew up in Liangzhou. There were many military affairs in Liangzhou, so he practiced horse archery a lot."
Bai Gui rode his horse and explained smoothly.
In this life, he grew up in Wuwei City, Liangzhou. Liangzhou has always been a borderland. Wuwei is actually Wuwei County. In order to commemorate the Hussars General Huo Qubing, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went on an expedition to Hexi, defeated the Xiongnu, and was also the founder of the Han Empire.
It was strong and prosperous, so Wuwei City was named Wuwei, which means "martial power and military power".
In the border areas, slightly richer families would let their children practice riding and shooting.
The people who were accompanying King Li Tai of Wei heard this and immediately understood.
There were many people with versatile civil and military talents in the Tang Dynasty. In the Weishui Alliance a few years ago, Li Shimin led six cavalry out of Chang'an to make an alliance with Jieli Khan. These six cavalry included Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian and other civil servants.
It is not inconceivable that another one will happen now.
The Forbidden Garden is located in the north of Chang'an and contains a small hunting ground. It is not very large, and is just a place where emperors and some nobles come to hunt occasionally. The real large hunting ground is not here.
Therefore, the group did not stay in the hunting ground for a long time.
After everyone had harvested something, they left the hunting ground.
Li Shimin and all the nobles also returned home with great joy, and their saddles were loaded with deer, hares, swans and other prey.
Because Bai Gui had captured a lot of prey, and although he was not ranked high among the many nobles, he was considered high among the civil servants, so the emperor Li Shimin took this opportunity to reward him with a bolt of silk and two jars of wine.
The reward is not generous. This hunting is just a game to enhance the relationship between the monarch and his ministers.
In the camp, the royal chef cooked these prey and made plates of delicacies.
Everyone was eating and drinking.
I saw Queen Changsun at the top suddenly panting and covering her mouth and nose with her wide sleeves.
The air was quiet for a while.
No one dared to eat anymore, nor did they dare to raise their heads to see the emperor and empress.
All the officials in the court knew that Empress Changsun was suffering from qi disease. Anyone who cared about this scene would know that Empress Changsun accidentally suffered from qi disease again.
The palace maid helped Empress Changsun to go to the other camp for medical treatment.
The imperial doctor accompanied the camp.
After a while.
Li Shimin's voice was low, "My dear friends, although I have vast territory and control over nine states, I am helpless to deal with the Queen's qi disease. I am ashamed to be a human husband."
There was a trace of frustration on his face.
After calming down, he continued: "My dear friends, I wonder if there is any way to alleviate and cure the queen's qi disease. If it can be done, I will not hesitate to reward you with a title and a gift of ten thousand gold."
Although the royal family is ruthless, he is sincere to his wife, Queen Changsun. Ever since Queen Changsun married into the Li family at the age of thirteen, they have been with him for so many years. The relationship between the two is deeper than anyone else. Even Aiwujiwu, others
The prince's treatment was obviously not as good as that of the Empress Changsun's own children.
After speaking, he looked at the ministers present and stayed on Bai Gui for a while.
Qi disease, also known as asthma in later generations.
Empress Changsun suffered from asthma and was famous in history.
Bai Gui can cure this disease.
Satomi Naoko's tuberculosis could be cured even by a non-immortal, not to mention a mere asthma.
Many successful monks can also treat it.
But Bai Gui was unwilling to come forward.
First, he is hiding his cultivation and is not able to speak out. Second, Empress Changsun is the empress, and the law does not include nobles. Treating Empress Changsun's asthma requires far more effort than treating ordinary people's asthma. Thirdly,
, the monk is not a mortal, and is not interested in Li Shimin's reward.
A title, a title, a million gold, are nothing more than worldly things.
In the big tent that had been silent for a long time, someone finally spoke.
"Your Majesty, the Queen's illness is difficult to cure with medicine and stone because it is difficult to see the Queen's illness... I have a method that may solve this problem."
In the camp, a crimson-robed civil servant came out and said, cupping his hands.
"What method?"
Li Shimin's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and he hurriedly said.
He just told this matter as a matter of routine. Empress Changsun's qi disease didn't just happen for a moment. She had already asked about her illness to the world. But he didn't expect that someone would give him good news today.
"I heard that in the past, the Yellow Emperor cast fifteen mirrors. The first mirror had a horizontal diameter of one foot and five inches, which was equal to the number of full moons. They were listed in order according to the difference of one inch between each mirror."
"For thousands of years, these fifteen precious mirrors have been hard to find. However, during the Daye period, the censor Wang Du once obtained the eighth mirror. This mirror is eight inches in diameter. Its nose is shaped like a crouching unicorn, with turtles arranged in all directions around its nose.
The dragons, phoenixes and tigers are arranged according to the directions. Outside the four directions are the eight trigrams, and outside the hexagrams are the twelve celestial figures, each of which is engraved with auspicious animals."
"It is said that this mirror can be used in several ways, one of which is to apply a gold paste on it and rub it with pearl powder, which can illuminate people's heart and soul."
"When you look in this mirror, the disease will be found. Your Majesty can send the imperial doctor to remove the disease, and the queen can also use this to recover. Moreover, the light of this mirror also has the effect of resolving the disease."
The crimson-robed civil servant said slowly.
"Wang Du?"
Li Shimin frowned and pondered for a while, "Wang Du, I have met this person before. However, this person died of illness in the thirteenth year of Daye. The person who gathered his bones was the Jinyang Wang family, and he was also a member of the Jinyang Wang family...
"
Before the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Li Tang had constant marriages with the Wang family of Jinyang. For example, the only biological sister of Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty, Princess Tong An Tejin, married Wang Renyou of the Wang family of Taiyuan. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty,
, Li Shimin’s third daughter, Princess Nanping, was promised to Wang Jingzhi of the Wang family...
Later, the earliest wife of Jin Wang Li Zhi was the legitimate daughter of Jin Wang's family as the crown princess.
Compared with other prominent families, the royal family of Li and Tang Dynasties has the closest relationship with the Wang family of Jinyang.
Otherwise, Li Tang would not have started his career in Jin.
"What I know is limited to this. Your Majesty can send someone to ask the Wang family of Jinyang..."
The crimson-robed civil servant cupped his hands and replied.
Li Shimin nodded, rewarded the crimson-robed civil servant, and then ordered Tai Le Cheng Wang Ji to go out.
Wang Ji is known as Dong Gaozi, and he and Wang Du are brothers in the same room. They are both younger brothers of Wen Zhongzi Wang Tong, and now serve as Tai Lecheng of the Tang Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, my brother's coffin was placed in my funeral casket. Although I heard that my brother owned this precious mirror, the mirror disappeared from the mirror box one month before my brother's death."
Wang Ji smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Ai Qing, do you really mean what you said?"
Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and said suspiciously.
He thought that if he got this precious mirror, he would definitely keep it secret and not let anyone know about it. Now that Wang Ji is like this, in his opinion, it is very likely that he is deliberately deceiving the king.
"If the Wang family has this mirror, thirty-four of my Wang family members have died of illness in recent years, many of whom are highly respected elders. If your majesty doesn't believe it, you can go and see my Wang family's genealogy in person."
Wang Ji sighed and said sincerely.
He did not say whether he had this precious mirror, but only said that if he had this precious mirror, then it would be impossible for the Wang family to have so many people die of illness in recent years. It would be just ordinary Wang family children, but not only those who died of illness
Ordinary tribesmen, and some prestigious elders.
"Wang Aiqing, please step aside for now."
Li Shimin nodded slightly, as if he believed what Wang Ji said.
The Jinyang Wang family is not from a small clan, not to mention the relationship with the Li and Tang royal family. The Jinyang Wang family's family background alone does not allow him to ransack the house in search of this precious mirror. Because of a "nothing" incident, he imposed tyranny.
It is also inconsistent with his status as a benevolent monarch.
This matter can only be investigated secretly.
However, he mostly believed Wang Ji's words in his heart. If there really was this precious mirror, no matter how hard the Wang family of Jinyang defended it, there would be no chance that no news would come out.
Bai Gui, who was sitting down, was also confused.
It is impossible to say that he has no greed for this precious mirror. The iron weapon used by Dayu to control the floods has become the wish-fulfilling golden cudgel in the hands of Sun Wukong. So the precious mirror created by the Yellow Emperor, even if the rank
It's not as good as the Dinghai Divine Needle, but it's certainly not far behind. It's a first-class treasure.
"It's a pity that I only heard its name, but never saw...its trace..."
