The sixth prince was raised by Qi Guijun's side for less than a month, and his sallow skin turned into a healthy wheat color. He used to stand with the fifth prince of the same age, and he was a head shorter than him, but now it has grown to his ears. In a month or two, it will be able to match or even catch up.
His spirit has also changed. In the past, he always shrank his neck and lowered his head. No matter how timid he looked, he now had bright eyes, raised his head and raised his chest.
Li Jintian paid more attention to the princes, and he visited the imperial study several times to examine the princes' homework. What surprised everyone was that the talent of the sixth prince was not inferior to that of the fifth prince, who was praised as a prodigy since childhood. No matter which classics Li Jintian randomly checked, he could recite it by heart and talk about it eloquently. Those sharp points of view often made Li Jintian and Mr.
"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince is indeed a man to be built." Walking outside the hall, the gentleman said with relief.
Li Jintian nodded and smiled, "It's still Qi Guijun's good teaching, he has always been very good at raising children."
Qi Guijun has no children, where did the emperor's words come from? The gentleman glanced at the emperor a little strangely.
It was only then that Li Jintian realized that it was a matter of his previous life. He waved his hand and walked away with heavy steps, thinking of the exceptionally outstanding Twelve Princes raised by Qi Xiujie in his previous life, and another sharp sting in his heart. Able to prop up a crumbling empire in the storm, the talent of the Twelve Princes is probably not inferior to that of the Fifth Prince and the Sixth Prince.
If only he could survive...
Li Jintian wiped his face, his bloodshot eyes filled with regret.
Gao Min was furious when he learned that the sixth prince had overpowered the fifth prince in the imperial study. Even though he was busy rectifying the army, he still took time to come back and personally teach the afternoon riding and archery class.
"The arms are straight, the thumbs are clasped together, and the distance between the feet should not be so narrow, it is not conducive to the stability of the lower plate." He adjusted the posture of the sixth prince one by one, pointing to the arrow target 100 meters away, and said, "Shoot."
The sixth prince was obviously stunned by his stern attitude, his head was covered in cold sweat, his fingers were shaking slightly, the bowstring was loosened, and the arrow only flew a few dozen meters before sticking diagonally into the mud, not even the target. bump into.
Someone snickered next to him, making the sixth prince flush with shame, and lowered his head, not daring to look at Gao Min's expression.
Gao Min sneered, and then paced away, an inaudible "but that's it" penetrated into the eardrum of the sixth prince. The sixth prince didn't feel more ashamed, instead, his lips were hooked, and there was a murderous look in his eyes. Go crazy, sooner or later, I will slash you alive with one knife at a time, in order to avenge the bloody revenge that killed your father by poisoning him that day!
After the riding and archery class was over, the fifth prince regained his self-confidence. Seeing that the sixth prince was sluggish, he even ran over to comfort him, saying that he could ask his father for additional guidance and let him play in Tianchen Palace from time to time. One of the father and son pretended to be a white face and the other was a red face. They beat a stick and then gave a red date. They were very skilled at winning people over.
The sixth prince gratefully sent the fifth prince to the gate of the school grounds. After turning back to the path leading to Zichen Palace, his face became gloomy. Although Jun's father told him not to hide his clumsiness, he knew that if he was too good, he would definitely cause a lot of trouble for Jun's father, which was definitely not what he wanted. He didn't want to be protected only by his father, but wanted to become stronger as soon as possible and become his pillar. He is still very weak now, but sooner or later, he will be stronger than anyone, including the man on the throne. He is not qualified to have a king.
Zhou Yun Sheng heard the brisk footsteps of the wolf cub, his originally laid-back expression became serious, he put down the scroll and asked in a deep voice, "I heard that you made a big fool in front of Gao Min today?"
Li Xudong nodded with flushed cheeks.
"You can't even hit a bull's-eye at a distance of 100 meters after practicing for more than half a month. You eat so much food every day that you end up eating a dog's belly?" Zhou Yun Sheng walked over to grab his son's ear.
Li Xudong's face showed pain, but he really enjoyed it. He likes the rebuke of Jun's father to him, and even misses the pain and warm fingertips when he tugs at his ears. As the so-called love is deeply responsible, the father will scold him and punish him, which means that the father loves him and values him. He was very satisfied with it.
Zhou Yun Sheng didn't know that he had taught his son to be a twitchy M. He let go of his ears and said, "Go to the martial arts field, and I'll teach you archery."
Li Xudong hurriedly followed.
"Conscientiously try to figure out my posture." Zhou Yun Sheng picked out a ten-stone bow and pulled it to full length with ease. Converting ten stones to jin liang, it takes at least five or six hundred jin to pull the bowstring fully. This was not the first time that Qi Guijun had personally taught the sixth prince, but the guards standing beside the martial arts field were still stunned. They couldn't imagine what kind of terrifying power was in Qi Guijun's seemingly weak body.
However, they had long been subdued by Qi Guijun, and did not dare to go to the emperor to report.
Li Xudong stared at the heroic and dashing father with scorching eyes. He only thought he was very charming, and he felt dizzy just by looking at him.
Zhou Yun Sheng loosened the bowstring, the arrow cut through the air and made a sharp whistle, then pierced through the bullseye, leaving only an inch of tail feathers.
Jun father probably only showed three points of strength, his appearance is too light. In Li Xudong's dark thoughts, Zhou Yun Sheng drew his bow again and shot an arrow. The latter arrow was pinned to the center of the former arrow, splitting it into several strands. With such superb archery skills, it is not an exaggeration to say that he can pierce Yang with a hundred steps.
The guards were horrified. Some people had seen Gao Guijun's archery skills, and the five bodies they admired at the time were nothing compared to Qi Guijun. Qi Guijun is simply unfathomable.
"Father Jun is amazing!" Li Xudong ran over and put his arm around him, with a flattering smile on his face.
"Don't patronize the flattery, take your bow and shoot it for me." Zhou Yun Sheng flicked the wolf cub's forehead in disgust.
Li Xudong complied with his promise, picked the most common horn bow, and put the arrow on the string.
"Stance is wrong!"
Zhou Yun Sheng stepped forward to correct it, but after correcting it several times in succession, when he stepped back, Li Xudong would unknowingly make a wrong move. Zhou Yun Sheng had no choice but to surround him from behind and teach him hand in hand.
The bodies of the two were tightly pressed together, and the thin fabrics conducted each other's body temperature. Li Xudong's whole body started to get hot, and even the blood in his body was boiling. He liked this kind of contact without distance so much that he even wanted to rub Jun Father into his blood.
"Don't be nervous, the more nervous you are, the more you can't aim. Relax and follow me to adjust your breathing." The man's warm breath slapped on his earlobe and neck, making Li Xudong unbearable. He tried to adjust his heavy breathing, but his heart beat faster and faster.
In a trance, the arrow shot out, barely sticking to the edge of the target. Zhou Yun Sheng was very dissatisfied, but he also knew that he couldn't eat a big fat man in one breath. He stepped back a few steps and patted his son's head, and said with all his strength, "Yes, it's a bit of progress. Do you remember the posture just now? Give it to me if you remember it. Practice, you are not allowed to rest until you shoot all four white arrows, and if you miss an arrow, you will add ten more arrows, and you are responsible for supervising."
He turned to look at several guards and ordered.
The guards agreed.
Zhou Yun Sheng then walked away.
Losing his father's warm embrace, Li Xudong's soft eyebrows instantly became sharp. He picked up the ten-stone big bow that Jun's father had used, raised his hand and pulled the bowstring and shot it towards the bull's-eye. This arrow shattered the previous arrow with an unstoppable force and shattered it into powder. Such precise and ferocious archery is probably not inferior to his father.
Several guards have long since seen it, and bowed their heads in deference. Don't look at this master's obedient like a son of a bitch in front of Qi Guijun, but he is very bloodthirsty in private, angering him and he doesn't even know how he died. Moreover, he was only thirteen years old this year, and he was able to draw a ten-stone bow and hide in front of his father, who were not ordinary people. With the existence of these two people, I don't know how long the glory of Gao Guijun and the fifth prince will last
Thinking of this, the guards who had been subdued became more and more afraid to betray.
Gao Min went on the expedition as he wished, and when he was leaving, Li Jintian personally sent him to the Shili Pavilion outside the city gate before returning to the palace reluctantly.
Just a few days after Gao Min arrived at the border, he won a battle of winning more with less, and the news of the victory was returned to the capital, which made all the courtiers very excited, and even said that the emperor was wise and decisive and had a unique vision.
With the help of Li Jintian, Gao Min was already famous and famous, but at this time his prestige was even higher, and he had a tendency to be on par with the emperor. Li Jintian smiled kindly, but when he turned back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he couldn't help being angry, panicking, and restless.
Another year and a half have passed, Gao Min has penetrated deep into the interior of Xiyi, and is in a state of destroying the imperial court of Xiyi. The army is under his control and is indestructible, making his prestige reach an unprecedented height. On the frontier, the people only knew that Dayan had General Gao, but they did not know that there was an emperor. In addition, General Gao was favored by him, and several frontier officials surrendered to him, expressing their full support for the fifth prince.
Li Jintian still loves Gao Min, but can no longer trust him. On the contrary, he could no longer love Qi Xiujie, but he trusted each other more than anyone else.
What is the difference between love and trust? Zhou Yun Sheng will tell you with facts that trust is far more important than love. The maintenance of a relationship does not depend on how strong love is, but how solid trust. Trust that will never be shaken by outside interference is the most powerful support for sticking to a relationship.
The original Gao Min was able to share the world with Li Jintian with such trust, but now, it has been completely destroyed by Zhou Yunsheng.
Li Jintian was afraid that Gao Min would shake his throne after he made a great contribution, so he secretly contacted his confidant in the army and asked him to delay the delivery of food and grass. If the food and grass can't keep up, this battle will be defeated. Only by letting Gao Min taste the bitter fruit of defeat can he know how safe and comfortable it is to be by his side.
Zhou Yun Sheng smiled contemptuously when he heard the news, secretly thinking that Jun Jun is really a Jun Jun, even if he lost his country once, he still regarded his own selfish desires as more important than society, and would rather sacrifice hundreds of thousands of troops to break Gao Min's wings. Should I praise him for loving the country more than the beauty
But Li Jintian miscalculated, because behind Gao Min not only the support of the Gao family, but also a deep and unrepentant Li Wang secretly helped.
Most of the food and forage were intercepted by the Xiyi army sneak attack, and the rest was burned to ashes. In order to sweep the tail, Li Jintian even removed his own confidants, so that Gao Min could not suspect him at all.
When Gao Min left the palace, he thought that Xiyi would never return to the court without destroying it. Now that he has completed the ninety-nine steps, the last step left is a failure. How could he be willing to return to Beijing as a loser and accept the accusations of courtiers and forgiveness from Li Jintian
So he wrote two letters, one to his elder brother and one to the most trusted King Li.
After meeting with Gao Lang, King Li and Gao Lang secretly left Beijing one after another, raising food and grass along the way to send to the border. Because of their high status and authority, the government offices where they passed were all green lights. Even if the local granary was emptied, not a single official dared to report. But they didn't report it, and the spies sent by Li Jintian to monitor Gao Lang and King Li secretly submitted the matter to the imperial front.
Li Jintian was trembling all over after reading the secret report. When Gao Min was in trouble, the first person that came to his mind was not him, but King Li, and King Li was able to go to the border for him regardless of life and death, which shows that he has deep affection.
He could no longer deceive himself that the two had nothing to do with each other. No relationship will be willing to live and die together? It doesn't matter, you will risk the crime of leaving Beijing without authorization to go to the rescue? That's all, what shocked him even more was the energy of Gao Lang and King Li. They went all the way to the west like a parade of emperors, and no official dared to disobey their orders, giving food and grass if they wanted, and soldiers if they wanted soldiers. Where did these people put him? If Gao Lang and King Li wanted to rebel, they would probably submit on the spot.
Li Jintian was outraged, but he was very calm in the courtroom. He knew that at this time, the more he could not show the slightest abnormality, which would wake up the Gao family and King Li.
With the help of his brother and King Li, Gao Min finally leveled Xiyi, and the class teacher returned to the dynasty. At this time, his prestige in Dayan has risen to an unprecedented height. Whether it is a dignitary, a noble person or a commoner, when they talk about General Gao, they are all highly praised.
It turns out that my Dayan's peaceful and prosperous world was all based on Gao Min? Li Jintian stood at the top of the tower, bowed his head slightly, and used the twelve o'clock on his crown to cover the cold smile on the corner of his mouth.
The army with no end in sight came in a mighty manner, raising the sky full of sand and dust. Gao Min sat on the steed, his armor exuding a cold light. He raised his head to look up at the tower, first looked at his son who had grown a little taller, smiled sassily at him, and then looked at the emperor.
Li Jintian beckoned, the tenderness in his eyes was the same as always. Gao Min suddenly felt at ease, and it was rare that his expression softened.
Within a few days, a whirlwind urging the emperor to establish the queen and the prince was set off in the courtroom. There is no need to think about the candidates for the queen and the prince, it is undoubtedly Gao Min and the fifth prince.
The chief eunuch helped Li Jintian sort out piles of memorials, each of which praised Gao Min and the fifth prince to the sky. It seems that these two people are gods and Buddhas who came to the world specially to save Dayan Chaogang. It is a fluke for the emperor to have the assistance of these two people.
"Okay, okay, even the throne of Zhen was obtained because of taking Gao Min. Very good!" Li Jintian threw the memorial out, his eyes red.
The chief eunuch lowered his head, not even daring to breathe.
Li Jintian's chest heaved violently for a moment, but he calmed down strangely. He picked up the memorial and patted it clean, and said slowly, "Forget it, since it's what everyone expects, then let Gao Guijun be the queen, and let the Tiantian Supervisor pick a good day." As for the establishment of the reserve, how long can it be delayed? It's true that he likes the fifth prince very much, but as long as he thinks of the Gao family standing behind the fifth prince, he feels disgusted.
The head of the eunuch agreed to the promise and went to the Qin Tianjian holding the hand letter he had written in a sloppy hand.
In the imperial study, Li Xuyan became the object of everyone's rush to please. His companion was Gao Lang's second son, Gao Nian, who was also held up to heaven at this moment.
"My uncle is the No. 1 general in Dayan. Without him, the people at the border would not be able to live a stable life now. Uncle has made great achievements, so he should enjoy the supreme honor. How did he live at the border? You can't imagine the hard life, unlike some remnants of traitors who have no benefit to the country or the family, yet live so comfortably. If I say, he should have been beheaded long ago, so as not to waste food."
"Who do you mean by the remnants of the rebellion?" A cold voice suddenly came from the door. Before Gao Nian could turn his head, someone grabbed his hair and slammed it against the table dozens of times. Seven orifices bleeding, unconscious.
Only then did the fifth prince react, and he hurriedly asked people to come forward to stop him, and the imperial study suddenly became a mess.
In the end, Gao Nian was severely injured and asked the servants of the Gao family to carry it back with a wooden board. Gao Lang's Zhengjun ran to the Tianchen Palace to complain and insisted on seeking justice for his son.
Because Li Jintian treated Zichen Palace very favorably, Gao Min didn't dare to specialize in it, and with a little smear to suppress Qi Xiujie and the sixth prince, he hurried to the Hall of Mental Cultivation for an interview.
The position of the sixth prince was second only to the fifth prince, and the guards of the forbidden palace did not dare to take him, so they simply sent Ren Haosheng back to the Zichen Palace, and let the masters above compete.
Li Jintian learned about this from Gao Min, and summoned the imperial physician to inquire about Gao Nian's injury. When he learned that it was very serious, he immediately drove to Zichen Palace. He hadn't been here for a long time, and he was a little timid when he walked in front of the palace gate. He has lived two lifetimes, and the person who is most sorry is not Gao Min, but Qi Xiujie, but he paid his sincerity by mistake and can never get it back.
So he dared to face anyone, except Qi Xiujie.
He waved his hand to signal to the palace people not to pass the message. He walked slowly and hesitantly. Finally, he stopped at the door and did not take a step.
The sixth prince's aggrieved voice came from the house, "Father, the boy knows he's wrong, but he can't help it. The father and the emperor have forgiven you for your death penalty, so why would you want to behead you if you keep your mouth shut? "
Qi Xiujie's tone was as flat as ever, as if nothing in the world could move him, "Why? Naturally, his surname is Gao."
"What about the surname Gao? My surname is Li." The sixth prince became more and more aggrieved.
Qi Xiujie smiled lightly and sighed, "Silly boy, do you think your surname is very noble? That was in the past, not now. Not to mention that you can't move the Gao family, even your father can't move."
"Even the father can't move? How can it be?" The sixth prince obviously didn't believe it.
Qi Xiujie explained patiently, "Gao Lang controls the government, Gao Guijun controls the army, and both inside and outside the palace are under the control of the Gao family. If you want us to live, you will live, if you want us to die, you will die, and you can die quietly. The voice is unclear, or who do you think is the cause of my broken body that has not lived for a few years? Gao Nian has no royal blood, but his surname is Gao, and this alone can overwhelm you."
The sixth prince seemed to be frightened, and after being silent for a while, he continued to ask, "Father, is this Dayan still the Dayan of my Li family?"
"It is now, who knows in the future?" Qi Xiujie sighed and urged, "In this case, don't say it again in the future. Later, you will take the initiative to kneel in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation to apologize, and don't make your father embarrassed."
The sixth prince reluctantly agreed and muttered, "I don't know what the father is thinking."
Hearing this, Li Jintian fled in embarrassment. It turned out that the precarious situation he was in had reached the point where even Qi Xiujie, who lived in the deep palace and did not ask about the world, could see it clearly. What did the courtiers think
Li Jintian recalled a series of memorials urging him to stand up and save, and his heart tightened. The courtiers are naturally biased towards Gao Min and his son, how can they remember that they are the real masters of Dayan! A sullen aura emanated from his deep eyes, making his footsteps more hurried.
After the others walked away, Qi Xiujie patted the wolf cub's head and praised with a smile, "It's a good fight, but the means are a bit simple and rude. The highest realm of killing is not the flying of flesh and blood, but the shadowless sword. There are thousands of ways to kill His inconspicuous method, why bother to get your hands dirty."
Li Xudong put his arms around Jun's father's thin waist and said ruthlessly, "But the child can't tolerate anyone being disrespectful to you, and he must be personally terminated before he can be reconciled."
"Good." Zhou Yun Sheng laughed loudly, and immediately asked the attendant to find a bundle of thorns, and let the wolf cub carry it on his back with great distress.
The sixth prince knelt in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation and pleaded guilty. Not only did Gao Min ignore him, but he also put a bundle of thorns under his knees and ordered him to kneel until noon the next day. Seeing that the sixth prince's kneecap had been abolished, Gao Min then asked him to go back. Fortunately, Gao Nian's life was very big, and he actually woke up. Except for dizziness and vomiting, he had no other symptoms, so the Gao family gave up. Otherwise, even if the sixth prince is the nobleman of Tianhuang, he must pay for his life.
Li Jintian called the sixth prince into the imperial study and scolded him severely, and also fined him an additional half-year ban. In fact, there was no anger in his heart at all, but he was very distressed. Originally, he loved the fifth and sixth princes equally, and even loved the fifth prince more, but after this incident, the sixth prince's status in his heart far surpassed that of the fifth prince.
The sixth prince does not have a strong mother family. He is very humble, courteous and filial. More importantly, his talent is slightly better than that of the fifth prince. No matter how you look at it, he is more suitable for inheriting the throne of Dayan. The question now is how badly his kneecap is injured. If Gao Min is made a crippled man, who can Dayan count on? The twelfth prince died because of the Gao family and his son, the sixth prince was dismissed because of the Gao family and his son, and the rest of the princes did not have the bearing of Tianhuang nobles because of their neglect of discipline, and could not support a country. Do I, Dayan, really want to change my surname Gao in the future
Do not! Never let this happen!
With a decision in his heart, he postponed the matter of establishing the Chu Chu, and his speech to Gao Min was that he was afraid of putting the fifth prince on the cusp.
Gao Min was moved by Li Jintian's boundless connivance, and completely let go of his guard. He didn't suspect him, and advised his brother not to incite courtiers to come forward. The noisy courtroom finally quieted down, which also made Li Jintian's dissatisfaction with the Gao family reach the limit.
Just as Li Xudong was carried to the gate of the palace by the attendant, he saw Jun's father standing under the corridor with his hands behind his back, his handsome face shrouded in a sharp killing intent.
Carrying the wolf cub back to the inner hall with his own hands, he took out the top-notch wound medicine he had prepared, and gently smeared it on his bloody knees. The month can be all right. I didn't intend to interfere too much and let them play by themselves, but they just wanted to bully my son. Anyway, Jun father ruined Gao Min and Li Xuyan to vent their anger for my son. Do you know what is the most despairing thing in the world? It's not that the family is destroyed, it's not that people are betraying their relatives, it's that I thought I was standing on the top of the world, but suddenly I was pushed into the abyss. The father must let the father and son enjoy it. The taste of being shattered."
My father is worried about me. Your father wants to avenge me. Such a gentle person, Jun father, was really angry because of me. One after another, incomparably happy thoughts occupied Li Xudong's mind, making him unable to make any other response except for his promise.
As for how the father and son of the Gao family were going to be destroyed, he didn't care in the slightest, nor would he doubt the ability of the father.
The author has something to say: I found that there is a lot of controversy about the attack and the plot, and I will explain what I think here.
My point of view is that there are no absolute good people and bad people in the world. There are bright spots in the bad people, and there are small shadows in the hearts of the good people, and there is no absolute justice and fairness in the world. When you read the text, you feel that the villain is not too bad, and the protagonist is not too good. That is not your illusion, but the projection of my ideas in the text.
I said in the copy that the protagonist is not a good person, and of course he is not a bad person. What he does is for his own interests and to survive. From his point of view, you will think that he is doing nothing wrong, but from the perspective of the supporting role, you will come to the opposite conclusion. This is probably because the characters I write have never been absolutely bad and bad people who take black water.
When I arrange the plot, I always base it on the character's character, background and era, and I won't smear anyone for the protagonist. I myself think that the actions of all the characters are reasonable and reasonable from their standpoint, which is why everyone is controversial. From this person's standpoint, he doesn't seem to have done anything wrong, from that person's standpoint, he doesn't seem to have done anything wrong, and so on.
However, this article of mine is about Zhou Yunsheng as the protagonist, his story, not the story of a supporting role, so it is impossible for me to cover everything. There will inevitably be supporting roles in every story, such as cannon fodder, their treatment is indeed very unfair, but who makes them the characters who take advantage of it.
In the final analysis, my article itself is not an article about justice defeating evil and good people defeating bad people. Zhou Yun Sheng himself is not a good person. In order to survive, this animal can do anything. Don't hold too much hope for his three views. And writing here, in fact, not every story is related to face slaps. I personally feel that this article would be more appropriate if it was called "Little White Expert". But changing the name is very troublesome, and you are used to it, so just keep the status quo.
