Li Dingguo came to the palace calmly, looking particularly calm for the grand palace.
After going around in a long circle, I finally saw the emperor in a black uniform at a school ground.
The young emperor's hair is tied up with a jade belt, his sleeves are close to his body, and his body is slightly stronger than that of ordinary people. He bends the bow with half a step and pulls the bow string.
"Snapped--"
An arrow shot out of the air and headed straight for the grass target.
Unfortunately, there is still one finger away from the red heart.
Although the body is upright, the strength is not good. It is just a five-bow bow, and the accuracy is not good. I guess it is because I don't practice it often...
He observed silently, with his head lowered, appearing normal and reserved.
Suddenly, the eunuch came to report, but the emperor just lowered his head, unable to see his expression clearly, and continued to bend his bow and shoot arrows.
After shooting five shots in a row, the emperor was already tired, so he gave up his bow and arrows and sat aside, watching the guards fight one on one.
Perhaps because he knew the emperor's assessment, he used wooden swords and spears one after another very fast, and the moves were back and forth, which was extremely fierce.
There was no sign of impatience on Li Dingguo's face, he just stood there and looked at it from the corner of his eye.
It seemed that half an hour passed before the emperor handed out the reward.
Immediately, the emperor mounted his horse again and went for a walk in the distance.
Li Dingguo continues to stand by.
I don't know how long it took, but the cold wind howled, and the cold sweat on his back was blown away, making him shiver.
winter is here.
"Your Majesty, see you!" A eunuch ran over and whispered.
Li Dingguo also followed closely, and finally saw the emperor who had just finished bathing in a greenhouse.
The young emperor has clear facial features. Compared with the thinness two years ago, he now looks much healthier, with a slightly bulging belly.
His handsome face seemed more gentle and not as aggressive as before.
Perhaps it was because he had been in power for many years or because he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. The emperor had a calm and graceful temperament. Although he maintained a light smile on his face, it was hard to fathom.
But at this time, the emperor was looking at him.
In front of him, Li Dingguo's breath calmed down, and a strong sense of stability came over his face, as if he was no longer facing a military commander, but a scholar.
You must know that Li Dingguo was known as "Little Yuchi" and "the enemy of ten thousand people". A few dozen people dared to raid Xiangyang City, and even pretended to be Ming troops to explore the reality of other troops.
Such a person, two years ago, was so arrogant that as the second child, he even looked up to the eldest son, Sun Kewang.
He only listened to Zhang Xianzhong's words.
Now, Zhu Yixi's temper has changed, which surprised Zhu Yixi.
However, he believed that a country is easy to change, but a character is hard to change. If Li Dingguo changed so easily, he would not be Li Dingguo.
"I heard you are studying?"
the emperor asked gently.
"I have benefited a lot from Zhu Xi's annotations on Mencius, The Analects of Confucius, Daxue, and Doctrine of the Mean."
Li Dingguo handed over his hand and said neither humble nor arrogantly.
"In other words, you will no longer practice martial arts?"
"Purely practicing martial arts is just a fool's errand. Being versatile in both civil and martial arts is a long-term solution."
Li Dingguo was calm and collected.
For a moment, the atmosphere became a little awkward.
Unfortunately, no one can guess the emperor's thoughts.
"By the way, Zhang Xianzhong is dead."
Suddenly, the emperor's eyes flickered on his face and he spoke without any emotion.
Sure enough, Li Dingguo's expression changed drastically, his pupils shrank sharply, his hands were clenched, and his facial features were somewhat distorted.
In his eyes, Zhu Yixi saw anger, hatred, and murderous intent.
Humph! Fight with me.
Zhu Yixi continued:
"He died in Jianchang Health, Sichuan, not me."
Li Dingguo's eyes changed, his lips trembled slightly, and finally two words came out: "Who is it?"
"who is it?"
The emperor suddenly smiled: "He died of natural illness."
"He became emperor in Jianchang for two years. Although he was entertaining himself, he lived a good life. He had dozens of people in his harem and more than a dozen heirs..."
Only then did Li Dingguo change from his anger, and a strong look of sadness condensed on his face.
"Snapped--"
He knelt down directly, held his head and cried silently.
The emperor was not impatient at all and just waited.
After a long time, Li Dingguo stood up, his face expressionless again.
Zhu Yixi shook her head: "It seems that reading so many books is not without benefits. At least the city will support you."
"Let me tell you, Sun Kewang became the King of Dian in Yunnan, and now he seems to be thinking about the throne of Emperor Daxi and is coveting it!"
"It's a pity that the heir Zhang Xianzhong tried his best to give birth to is probably in danger."
"Impossible!" Li Dingguo gritted his teeth and said, "Although my eldest brother is very ambitious, he is not such a heartless person."
"For the sake of power, aren't there many such things?"
Zhu Yixi disagreed, and immediately leaned out again: "Perhaps Sun Kewang is very kind, but can Yunnan resist my 300,000-strong army?"
"No!" Li Dingguo sighed: "We couldn't defeat a hundred thousand troops in the past, let alone now."
Having said this, Li Dingguo raised his head and looked directly at the emperor with bright eyes:
"If you have any requests, just ask!"
"happy!"
When the emperor is satisfied, just talk about anything you can.
"You have to know that in fact we all have a common enemy of life and death, which is the Manchu slaves."
"You have read so many books, so you should know the difference between Huayi and Huayi. If you don't want the land to be filled with smell, you must go to the north and recover thousands of miles of land."
"Kill the Jiannu?" Li Dingguo breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry, I won't let you fight against the Western Army."
"I just hope that your Majesty will conquer Daxi in the future and spare my brothers."
"I've always been generous."
The emperor said bluntly.
Li Dingguo went out in the morning and didn't come back until dusk.
Gao Yigong frowned, always feeling that there must be something fishy.
In particular, Li Dingguo's dramatic change in temperament and the emergence of a fierce military commander are impressive.
He couldn't help but ask: "Brother Zhang, what happened? But is Emperor Zhu making it difficult for you?"
"For the sake of power, aren't there many such things?"
Zhu Yixi disagreed, and immediately leaned out again: "Perhaps Sun Kewang is very kind, but can Yunnan resist my 300,000-strong army?"
"No!" Li Dingguo sighed: "We couldn't defeat a hundred thousand troops in the past, let alone now."
Having said this, Li Dingguo raised his head and looked directly at the emperor with bright eyes:
