Datang's journey to death

Chapter 54

Li Ke is between satisfaction and dissatisfaction with Pei Xuan leaving Beijing to become an official. He is satisfied because he and Li Chengqian will probably not be so clingy when Pei Xuan leaves Beijing. But you leave Beijing as soon as you leave Beijing. Why do you have to go to Yanzhou where to go?

Li Yin also thought so, and he said directly: "Third brother, Pei Xuanjue has an ambiguous attitude towards you, why don't you go and tell Dad to move him away?"

Originally, he was rather dissatisfied with Li Ke going out to be an official and staying in Chang'an, but now that Pei Xuan also wants to go with him, isn't this disgusting him?Li Yin will definitely push Li Ke to find a way to transfer Pei Xuan away.

But Li Ke has already figured it out, he shook his head and said: "How can something that Dad has decided be so easy to change? What's more, where will you go if you don't let him go to Sanchuan? He has a title on him, and he is A thousand cows are prepared."

Li Yin puffed up his bun face and was really unhappy, and he also knew that Li Ke was right.In the current situation of Tang Dynasty, the grades of county magistrates are not the same, just like the difference between governors and governors. In the current situation, Pei Xuan can only be the county magistrate of the upper county. If it is a middle or lower county, it is insult.

Moreover, Li Ke felt that there was nothing wrong with Pei Xuan following him. In Chang'an City, he didn't want to touch Pei Xuan. After all, the three gods were watching from above, and there was Li Chengqian protecting him. It was hard for Li Ke to do anything. , if it is in Fuzhou, it is his territory, he is higher than the county magistrate by many levels, it is not easy to clean up Pei Xuan?

And maybe on the way... Li Ke touched his chin, and finally decided not to struggle.But before he left, Li Shimin had to crown him.

After all, Li Ke went out to be an official. If there is no crown ceremony and no words, it is easy to be looked down upon by others, so what if he is a prince?These days, there are many aristocratic families that are not royal.

Li Ke also felt that it would be better to add the characters first and then leave. He was still wondering what characters Li Shimin would give him.Li Shimin naturally chose characters for him in the last life, but being favored and not being favored is different. Will this time be the last time that word Li Ke himself can't say well, if it is still that word, then Li Ke Ke has been in vain all these years.

Last time, Li Shimin chose the word Gongjin for Li Ke, which happened to correspond to the word Ke for his name, in order to warn him to be honest and not to mess around with his brain, but this time he never showed anything, probably he would not receive such a response. One word?

However, Li Ke guessed the beginning but not the end. On the day of the coronation ceremony, the ceremony was considered grand. Of course, it cannot be compared with Li Chengqian. However, the utensils used in the ceremony happened to be a little lower than Li Chengqian. As for the guests, they were naturally celebrities. Gathering, almost all the famous and respectable people in the capital arrived, and even some low-level people didn't even get tickets.

Li Shimin was relieved to see Li Ke's majestic appearance in a luxurious attire, and then gave Li Ke the word: Yuyi on the spot.

Li Ke:? ? ? ? ?

Seeing this newly released word, Li Ke felt a little bad all over. He seemed to think of Pei Xuan calling him a bathrobe or a raincoat in the future!

However, the implication of this word is indeed very good. It means that he occupies a high position and is talented and virtuous. My son is very satisfied, I let him go out to be an official to train him, you all keep your eyes open!

So even if he was complaining madly in his heart, Li Ke would thank Li Shimin with a happy face and accept the word.In fact, it's not just him. Li Shimin didn't choose this word at first. He originally wanted to give Li Ke the word Hongjian, but Wei Zheng stopped him.

The meaning of the word Hongjian really makes people think about it. The word itself means that Honghu flies from low to high. In view of the ancient people's various loves for Honghu, it later became a metaphor for career promotion. Yes, but when it comes to Li Ke, this word is too meaningful.

Li Ke is already the prince, and he is the leader. He has the most closed households and real seals among the brothers. What else can he be promoted to be promoted besides the prince?Of course, he can also be promoted to a saint, but before that, he must be a prince first!Although one word does not mean anything, it is also not conducive to the stability of the ruling and opposition parties.

Li Shimin was right when he heard it, so he had to give up the word with regret. He originally thought that Li Ke was really just like his name, which was too respectful. It’s not good to think too much at a young age. Li Ke is not incapable. He hopes that his son can show his talents, so he wants to encourage his son with a word that is opposite to the meaning of Ke, but now it seems... let's change it.

So Li Ke added the word Yuyi, and then prepared to go on the road, oh, to leave Beijing.It's just that when he left, he couldn't help but sit in the car and began to think seriously, who is going to supervise the military?

Why is the civil servant outside riding a horse, and he, the military officer, is riding a car?Of course, he wanted to ride a horse, but he was persuaded to come back, so he looked at Pei Xuan who was riding a horse leisurely outside, and couldn't help pinching the ear of the red fox beside him.

The red fox is not young now, whenever Pei Xuan does something that challenges his nerves, he can't help but want to skin the fox and make it into a collar.But after thinking about it, he felt inappropriate, after all, this fox had nothing to do with Pei Xuan, he was obviously venting his anger on innocent people.

The red fox's ears were sensitive, and the pinched eyes were full of tears, but he didn't dare to do anything. He just looked at Li Ke eagerly, but Li Ke had no choice but to hug it and feed it some fruit snacks.

Pei Xuan, who was riding a horse outside, turned around and saw Li Ke patiently feeding the red fox. Logically speaking, he should not be happy. After all, Li Ke never fed him so patiently back then, but when he thought of that The red fox was given by him, and he felt a little happy again.

However, he was unhappy after seeing Li Ke feeding the red fox small dried fish. He hadn't eaten the small dried fish from Li Ke for a long time, and he didn't know why. After the little white cat was given away, Li Ke never looked for the little white cat again, which made Pei Xuan wonder if Li Ke had given up looking for him.

Without the little white cat Pei Xuan, he couldn't rub the dried fish, and now he still has to smell the dried fish outside, and watch the red fox nibbling the dried fish, but the red fox still looks disgusted!Don't ask him why he knows, the red fox just took a bite of the small dried fish and refused to eat any more!

Pei Xuan was envious and jealous. Li Ke probably sensed his gaze. As soon as he looked up, he saw Pei Xuan looking at him unkindly, with a faint... murderous look in his eyes?Li Ke tightened his hands immediately, and dragged the red fox into his arms. After cursing his lips at Pei Xuan with a sly smile, he turned his head and began to think whether Pei Xuan had also been ordered by Li Chengqian. Get rid of him.

If this is the case, then it can only be said that... the heroes see the same thing.Well, we must be careful in the future.But Li Ke can't let others monitor Pei Xuan. Only they know about the conflict between him, Pei Xuan and Li Chengqian. Do not deal with.

Of course, Anping and Luyang were really loyal to him last time, but people in different periods are different, and Li Ke doesn't want to test their loyalty now.

So in the following days, whenever Pei Xuan paid attention to Li Ke, he would find that Li Ke was also looking at him as if there was nothing, which made Pei Xuan feel a little puzzled—even when Li Ke was in Chang'an, the target They also went after Li Chengqian, rarely took him as a target, what happened now?Is it because Li Chengqian is gone that Li Ke started to pay attention to him?

Pei Xuan had a faint idea that if he knew, he would come out sooner, and he felt that he had such an idea that he was simply baffled.It's just that along the way, Pei Xuan secretly discovered that Li Ke was indeed paying more and more attention to him. Pei Xuan felt more and more that Li Ke must be planning something, but he couldn't figure out what Li Ke was going to do.

With the doubts along the way, the two arrived at Sanchuan County of Fuzhou. Sanchuan County is a high-class county, because it is not far from Chang'an, and the construction is not bad, at least the construction of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is good.

The governor of Fuzhou brought the officials of the state government to greet him in person. Speaking of which, the governor of Fuzhou was very heartbroken. Judging from the fact that Li Shimin made his son the governor of Fuzhou, everyone should know that Fuzhou was the upper state in the Tang Dynasty. , the governor of Shangzhou came from the third grade, as a person from a middle-class family, Yuan Qing has achieved this level at the age of 40, but just when he was living smoothly, Bang Dang... a big governor came down from above.

Chief Governor, from the second rank, of course, Yuan Qing saw not only this official position, but also Li Ke's own identity.Now only one of the saint's sons has come out to be an official. If it was in the past, everyone might think that this one is not favored-all the favored ones stay in Chang'an.

But judging from his official position, Yuan Qing felt that it was nonsense to say that he was not favored. Maybe this little prince just came out to relax after being bored in Beijing?After all, in addition to Fuzhou, he also supervised the military affairs of Xia, Sheng, Beifu, Beining, and Beikai. This is such a big area, it is equivalent to giving the military power to King Wu.

Yuan Qing decided to provide for this prince no matter what. Of course, the other one who came with the prince must be careful not to offend. This is Jane in the heart of the emperor. Even if it is a county magistrate, Yuan Qing also understands that the other party is coming. It's a cutscene.

Yuan Qing made up his mind, so the banquet to cleanse the dust was also held in the most high-end restaurant in the state capital.Because he wanted to meet the state officials, Li Ke rarely looked at Pei Xuan, and Yuan Qing became more determined when he saw Li Ke getting off the prince's carriage with a red fox with smooth fur beside him. Thoughts - this guy is probably here to play.

After Li Ke saw Yuan Qing, he didn't do anything close to the people. He just stood there reservedly and greeted each other with the officials around him, with a faint smile on his face, neither impolite nor too kind.

Pei Xuan raised his eyes and saw that Li Ke was pretending to be a high-altitude flower, so he couldn't help but take a second look. He still remembered that the last time Li Ke took a different route, when he saw people talking about others. The skill points of talking nonsense are almost full. No matter who knows him within three days, he will definitely follow him because of his confidant within three days, and after a month, he will follow him to the death. Li Chengqian who helped?

Oh, in fact, Li Ke still has this skill now, but he doesn't know why he doesn't want to use it anymore, so how can he deal with Li Chengqian?

When Pei Xuan realized his thoughts, he felt a little bad. Nima, if people who don't know know his thoughts, they will definitely think that he is Li Ke's person. Well, let me just say that I am worried about Li Chengqian. , then he...it seems that he should pay more attention to Li Ke.

However, although their two offices are very close, they are not together. One is in the county government and the other is training in either the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion or the Tongjun Mansion - the Tongjun Mansion is the later Zhechong Mansion.

Of course, Li Ke didn't train soldiers often. Although he was mainly in charge of supervising the military, he was the most senior official in Yanzhou. Even if Yuan Qing had handled all the government affairs, he had to let him take a look at them first.

Yuan Qing secretly had the idea of ​​ostracizing Li Ke, since Li Ke came here to play anyway, as long as Li Ke is the main one in everything he behaves, as long as he is the one who makes the decisions, no matter the credit Will be separated, and the saint will not lose sight of his efforts. What's more, the saint will probably pay more attention to this place when King Wu is here.

As for Pei Xuan, since he came here to practice, he could give some advice and make a good relationship.It's just that he never expected that none of the plans he had planned were successfully implemented.

The first is Pei Xuan. Originally, according to everyone's thinking, Pei Xuan grew up in the Duke's Mansion...even if he was a family boy, he didn't necessarily care about the common affairs. Later, he inherited the title and grew up next to the Supreme Emperor. The county magistrate is definitely a bit difficult.As a result, Pei Xuan was really shocking. After arriving in Sanchuan County, he took over the county affairs of the county and got it done in two days. Later, he spent half a month sorting out all kinds of archives, and then the general affairs of the archives were done. His speech was clear and refreshing, and the verdict was very fair and smooth. In less than a month, everyone in the county government was convinced of him.

Of course, the most important thing is that when Pei Xuan came, their wages rose a little bit, and then the vacation time increased. Pei Xuan himself has a title and a real seal, and his annual food city is much higher than his salary. Naturally, he will not be short of money. Withholding the wages of the people below, as for the vacations...he directly regulated all the regulations and assigned them to take charge of them. Even if there were not many people who crossed borders, there would be extra vacations in addition to public holidays, so naturally there would be more vacation time.

After Pei Xuan's combination of punches, even Yuan Qing didn't dare to underestimate him, and Pei Xuan finally freed his hands and began to pay attention to Li Ke's movements.

If Pei Xuan just made Yuan Qing dare not underestimate it, then Li Ke really made Yuan Qing honest. Yuan Qing, a general secretary of the state, already had a solution as soon as he reported to the other side, and it was not that kind. It sounded like the way of the Arabian Nights. Li Ke could explain to him why he did it from various aspects every time. In the end, Yuan Qing had to admit that His Highness King Wu was capable.

Looking at these two old cucumbers with tender skins, Yuan Qing was startled for a moment, and began to reflect, could it be that the teenagers in the capital are all so powerful?You put a lot of pressure on me like this. As the governor of a state, Yuan Qing didn't think about trying to get into the center, but now these two teenagers beat him up as soon as they came.

Of course, the reason for Yuan Qing’s honesty is that Li Ke’s fists are too big. Originally, the Tang Dynasty was a military system. Even if Li Ke first arrived here, it would be impossible for the governor to let those soldiers and horses command them like arms, so he just wandered around a few days ago to understand. Check out the situation here.

The highest leader of the Tongjun Mansion is the Tongjun Mansion, followed by other generals. The Tongjun Mansion in Yanzhou is regarded as the upper mansion, so the Tongjun Mansion also has a relatively right to speak. The most important thing is that this person also rushed out with Li Shimin. His surname is Chen and his name is Shaoan.

Chen Shao'an still respects Li Ke, he is Li Shimin's diehard loyalist, otherwise Li Shimin would not have given him the military power of the Fuzhou Commander's Mansion, which is so close to Chang'an, but this kind of respect comes from his status, not from Li Shimin. Ke himself.

To be honest, Li Ke himself looks a little thinner in literature and art, and coupled with his exquisite appearance, Chen Shaoan, a rough man, can't help but speak softly in front of Li Ke, and his tone is much gentler, so that the people around him don't want to be Sima Yan. I'm not used to it, but looking at Li Ke again...he thinks it's normal for the commanding army to have such an attitude.

Li Ke didn't take it too seriously, and didn't mind being underestimated, but said: "In that case, I'll come back to practice archery some other day."

Chen Shao'an sent Li Ke away again in a soft voice, and after seeing Li Ke got on the frame, he wiped the sweat off his brow, turned his head and looked at Sima Yan who looked like a ghost and raised his hand towards him The back of his head twitched, and at the same time he shouted: "What are you looking at, why don't you hurry up and practice, if I lose face in front of His Highness in the future, I will strip you alive one by one!"

Sima Yan covered his head and turned his head and ran to deal with the little soldiers. On the third day, Li Ke came over to watch them practice archery. There was nothing else but archery, and his aura changed when he watched it.

Chen Shao'an's heart skipped a beat. Although he is a martial artist, he is also a smart person, with fine details. Otherwise, how could he be in his current position because of his status and background?

Although Li Ke still had that indifferent look on his face, Chen Shaoan had an intuition that Li Ke was probably unhappy.But... why?In his practice of archery this time, he asked the people below to pick out some top soldiers, all of them are very good.

Although Li Ke's aura changed, he didn't speak. Chen Shao'an was uneasy and didn't dare to open his mouth. After the big soldiers finished shooting their arrows, Li Ke stood up slowly and said: "In the past, eighteen saints raised troops to help the Supreme Emperor to pacify the world. Riding and archery is the most important thing, the sage did not relax after he became a great treasure, and even taught his children Yu Xianting, I only thought the sage was too strict back then, but now it seems that he is not strict enough."

Speaking of this, Li Ke's face darkened and his eyes stared at Chen Shao'an well, saying: "Chen Tongjun has been following the saint for a long time, and he understands the saint's temper best. He handed over the Qizhou Commander's Mansion to you. This is how you help the saint train soldiers ?"

Chen Shao'an was quite dissatisfied, thinking that the prince was probably looking for something to do, so he poked his neck and said, "Your Highness, do you think something is wrong?"

After hearing this, a smile suddenly appeared on Li Ke's face. To be honest, Li Ke's smile is really beautiful like a spring flower blooming, but at this time, even his smile is cold, and the cold sweat on Chen Shao'an's back is about to fall. , thinking that he is indeed the son of a sage, although the appearance is not very similar, but the expression is really similar.

No, if Li Shimin was really angry back then, he would not yell and lose his temper like ordinary people. He would just sneer and turn around to find a chance to kill the person who made him angry. It can be said that Li Shimin is much better now , or maybe it's because you can't be so wanton when you become an emperor.

Li Ke sneered but didn't say anything. He just turned his head and took Anping to the school field, and then asked Anping to bring a bow and arrow. All the soldiers on the school field heard Li Ke's words just now. His voice was not loud but he could guarantee Everyone heard it, and naturally they were quite unconvinced. It was a little strange to see Li Ke's behavior at this moment.

However, Chen Shao'an seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but his legs went limp—Wu Wang's behavior was so much like a saint. You must know that Li Shimin's ability to gain so many followers back then was not because of what he said, but because he followed his words. !

But now Li Ke is standing still in the school grounds, bowing his bow and nodding his arrows. His relaxed and freehand look makes the people around him stunned for a while, and they always feel that it doesn't match his weak appearance.

Then everyone saw that Li Ke shot ten arrows in a row smoothly, hitting ten out of ten arrows, and hitting the red heart.There was a sudden silence on the field, and no one dared to speak anymore, but looked at Li Ke in awe.

Chen Shaoan thought about Li Ke's performance just now and then thought about the performance of these soldiers before, and he had to admit that it was no wonder Li Ke was unhappy.Li Ke casually threw the bow and arrow to Anping, then walked up to Chen Shaoan and asked, "How?"

Chen Shaoan was forced to bow his head by the pressure in his eyes and said, "It's the fault of the lower officials."

Li Ke sighed: "It's indeed your fault. You just love them too much. These soldiers are all working for the court. How can I not feel sorry for them? However, excessive doting will only bring more serious consequences. Sure, but Turkic Tuyuhun is still watching, so how can we relax? Even my dudes are working hard, and they have no reason to be lazy."

After hearing this, Chen Shao'an was very moved. Although he said that he was wrong, Li Ke's statement made him feel more comforted. After all, he said that he felt sorry for the soldiers, which would only make the soldiers more moved.

Chen Shaoan bowed to the ground: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I know what to do."

"Father has taught me a lot, and I will have to discuss it with the commanding army in the future. Everyone is tired today, let's go." Li Ke saw that his goal was achieved, and he was ready to leave.

He wants to take the military power from Chen Shaoan, and he has nothing to hide in doing so, but how to take it is learned, and Li Ke doesn't want to be a poor commander, so naturally he has to find a way to get Chen Shaoan to cooperate with him, and he doesn't even think about it. After subduing Chen Shaoan and following Li Shimin to fight the world all the way to now, how many good things can there be?It would be great to get a little right to speak from him. As for later, he will always have a way to get the military power of the entire Fuzhou from Chen Shao'an.

While his plan was going smoothly, Li Ke thought of Pei Xuan again, wondering what was going on with Pei Xuan?

And Pei Xuan, who was missed by him, was staring at his chat panel in a daze.

There is only one sentence on the chat panel: "Brother, according to what you said, your master has fallen in love with you."

Pei Xuan:? ? ? ? ?
