Chapter 28: Competition (2)
"Then Xue Li is more respectful than obedient and offend His Highness the King of Wu." Xue Rengui smiled confidently.
Learn civil and military skills, goods and imperial families.
Xue Rengui knew very well that his future fate was closely linked to King Li Ke of Wu. King Li Ke of Wu was pleased to respond to the competition proposed by the Supreme Emperor, not only to satisfy Princess Changle's interests, but also to try his true abilities. He understood that this world is cold and no one will choose to help others without a reason.
If there is, then it will be broken and transparent, or the good will be white.
"Then Ke'er, you and Xue Li go to a certain residence together, change into military uniforms, and go to the school to compete together." Li Yuan said with a smile.
The two of them are now wearing regular clothes and wide-sleeved robes, which is a bit inconvenient for archery shooting.
"Ke'er thanked the emperor's grandfather." Li Ke smiled slightly, walked over and talked with the emperor naturally, and Xue Rengui was also taken by Mingyan to Lengzhu Pavilion to change his clothes.
When he reached the corner of the corridor of Nongzhu Pavilion, the Supreme Emperor asked the accompanying palace servants to stay away for dozens of steps, and asked Li Lizhi to leave first, and went to Huaping to ask her to watch with her.
In the end, only Li Ke and the Supreme Emperor were left.
"Ke'er, tomorrow will be the ceremony of Turkic prisoners and sacrifices to heaven. Some days ago, your father had persuaded him, otherwise Ma Zhou, who was known as the "Eight Dolls" in the capital, would not be your chief minister, and you would not be able to go to Longmen County, Jiangzhou to find Xue Li, the helper." Li Yuan walked a few steps and said slowly.
Li Ke's lips curled up slightly, he smiled knowingly, and said respectfully to the Supreme Emperor: "Ke'er, thank you for your kindness in helping you. Grandpa, but you have given me instructions, Ke... will definitely obey you to death."
"Swear to death?" Li Yuan looked at the eagle in front of him in surprise. Although he was still a young man, after returning to Chang'an, he was less innocent and more false.
And he also understood more.
He smiled slightly, looked at Li Ke's eyes and was silent for a while before he spoke: "Xue Li and Ma Zhou, you should take them all down as your orders, one will hold the teacher's rites, and the other will choose to recognize you as your brother. Although you did a good job, you are too impatient. However, this is a common problem for young people, and you cannot blame you.
Tomorrow's ceremony for heaven is your only chance to lead troops out. At that time, someone will propose to release the kings to guard the border."
"Let the kings go out of here? That means you will not be able to get the throne from now on. Grandpa Huang means that on this condition, Ke'er will leave the capital to guard the border, and finally..." Li Ke tightened his brows, feeling very unwilling.
When you put it outside the kings, it sounds like a good thing to the prince, but in fact it is a bee sting hidden under the honey. It tastes delicious but...stinging.
When the prince went out to take the vassal state, the political signal that he sent was from now on...is isolated from the throne.
Of course, King Li Ke of Wu was unwilling to accept it.
In history, during the Zhenguan period, court officials repeatedly proposed to go out to take advantage of the prince, but Li Shimin felt sorry for his son. Today, he either caught a cold or had a stomachache. Anyway, he was reluctant to leave Chang'an City. If he stayed in Chang'an City, he had hope of getting involved in the throne, and when he went out, there was really nothing left.
"No!" Li Yuan smiled deeply. He leaned on the carved red railing, and casually folded a white rose, and said lightly: "Tomorrow, you can't just mention the thought of going out to Chang'an to become a vassal, but you want to cry, and you will be thrilling to cry. You will never give up until you stay by your father's side."
"Why... is this?" Li Ke's face froze. He took the snow-white rose handed over by the Supreme Emperor, and his heart was immediately confused.
"When tomorrow you will naturally understand. This person, if you want to accomplish something, it is useless to fight and coward. Sometimes you need to take a step back...
And sometimes, the more you retreat... some people will push you forward." Li Yuan said.
"Is this a court game?" Li Ke frowned.
"No, this is art!" Li Yuan stood up and patted the dust on his butt. He took the hand of King Li Ke of Wu, walked to the corner of the corridor, called the palace servants over, and said with a smile: "Ke'er, if you want to be this eagle soaring in the sky, it is far from enough to have hard wings, and there must be a gully in the eagle's belly!"
"Ke'er... understand." Li Ke said in a low voice as if he was thinking.
Speaking of this, the Supreme Emperor changed the topic and talked about what Li Ke did to Longmen County, Jiangzhou for more than half a month, and how he met Xue Rengui. The Supreme Emperor had just briefly learned about the two of them being sworn brothers at the entrance of the medical school, but he never knew the process of the incident.
After the Supreme Emperor left, Li Ke looked at the northwest palace with a ridiculous look, and there was an answer in his heart. He looked at the back of the Supreme Emperor and said deeply: "Grandpa of the Emperor only knows that he is young and overestimates himself, but he does not know that he is arrogant. This arrogance is something that Brother Xue is spoiled by small profits, not receiving the beauty of his clothes, and still insists on communion with common people...
This arrogance means that the Lonely is unwilling to surrender to others anymore. Lonely is the most noble bloodline in the world."
He touched his angular face and smiled softly, "Grandpa Emperor, are you... still old?"
The Supreme Emperor is old. He was the one who was selected by the Chou Screen and was selected from thousands of times, but as time passed, Baogong had not been picked up for many years.
A snow-white rose withered out of thin air, crushed into mud and turned back into the soil...
.........
The scorching sun hangs high.
The hot sun hangs in the sky where there is no cloud in sight, and the air is dry and does not seem to contain any moisture.
However, the audience who stopped at the medical school were not at all discomfort. Instead, they stared at the two heroic young men riding horses in the middle of the school.
"Change the straw target, the distance of a hundred steps is too short. It is impossible to distinguish the winner. It takes two hundred steps alone!" Li Ke tightened the reins, grabbed the horse and ran back a few times, shouting with his left hand holding the zhemu bow.
Xunzi said: Without accumulating small steps, you can't reach a thousand miles.
A single step is half a step, while a step is about 1.3 meters. A two hundred steps is about 200 meters. This distance is no longer the effective range of a bow and arrow, and can only be hit by the bull's eye by experience.
Normally, a qualified military shooter requires seventy steps to hit the bull's eye, while the requirements for generals are even more harsh, and his courage cannot be shown by a hundred steps.
A hundred steps to penetrate the Yang is the greatest praise for Sagittarius.
"The King of Wu is still too anxious. Can he, a dignified His Highness, be incompatible with Xue Li?"
In the stands on the high altitude, Huaping shook his head and said with a smile.
Nongzhu Pavilion is just a different courtyard for the Emperor of the Supreme Emperor. They have not lived here for a long time. If they are in a few days, they will return to Cuihua Mountain. After all, the Emperor of the Supreme Emperor is not a teacher at all.
As he was talking, Huiri brought a group of Japanese people to bow carefully to the Supreme Emperor and said, "Teacher, Huiri heard that someone was competing for martial arts here, so he came over to take a look, but he didn't expect to meet the teacher."
But before he finished speaking, he walked past Tubo's foreign minister Xiangnang and Tuyuhun's envoys from various foreign countries. They each stepped forward to salute the emperor.
Hui Ri quietly walked to the Supreme Emperor and whispered: "Teacher, I heard that the Tang Dynasty held a ceremony for the Turkic prisoners and sacrifices to heaven. People from the Honglu Temple could not sit still, thinking that the Tang Dynasty's move was to shock the frontier.
They want to do something bad in secret. My country of Japan has always been loyal to the Tang Dynasty and will never be in vain with them."
