Views:

Outside the door of his daughter's boudoir, he actually made himself stand for a long time before he finally calmed down! Open it slowly!

"Your Highness..." Pei Xingjian looked at Li Hong who opened the door, was stunned for a moment and then saluted.

"Let's go, let's go." Li Hong tried to pull Pei Wanying's hand behind him and walk with him, but Pei Wanying blushed and stayed away.

The scene just now embarrassed her to death, and her heart was still beating wildly at this moment. If you, a bad person, held hands in front of her father again, wouldn't she be embarrassed to face her father

The charming Pei Wanying lowered her head, not daring to look at Pei Xingjian. She just saluted hurriedly, then followed Li Hong closely to the front hall with small steps. As for the fact that her father was still behind, I can't control it anymore, as long as my dad doesn't notice anything strange, I was really scared to death just now!

You can't give this bad guy a chance to be alone like this in the future... No, you can't let his temper come to you, otherwise, sooner or later, you will either be scared to death or embarrassed to death together with him.

Pei Xingjian looked at His Highness the Crown Prince, who was confident and natural, with a meaningless and shameless expression, and then looked at his daughter with her head lowered, her expression panicked, and she looked like a husband and a wife.

"well… ."

The helpless Pei Xingjian can only silently ask the sky, that's it!

But something happened next that still stunned Pei Xingjian. He originally thought that His Highness the Crown Prince and Pei Wanying would have no other topics of conversation except the love affair between the women.

But obviously his judgment was wrong. After the meal, while sitting in the front hall drinking hot tea, His Highness the Crown Prince obviously had nothing to say to him. Instead, he kept discussing with his daughter Pei Wanying about Dr. Sun's hospital in Lantian. The so-called medical school thing.

What surprised him even more was that even his wife could occasionally interrupt to say a few words. However, the prince and Pei Wanying did not feel inappropriate because their wife interrupted, and even nodded in agreement.

Such a scene made Pei Xingjian, who was drinking tea with His Highness the Crown Prince, feel like he was just a guest, like those young ladies in Pingkangfang, who were just sitting there as a foil!

"Are you stupid?" Li Hong looked at Pei Wanying, who pouted her mouth angrily, her cheeks bulged, and her dimples disappeared, and said, "Since plain clothes can't make the people adapt, why don't you consider adding some beautiful colors? What? Does it have to be in white?"

Pei Wanying tilted her head, with a look of confusion on her face: "Didn't you design this all in the first place? It was you who told us to wear white clothes. If there are some dirty things, we can detect them immediately, but if they are dark, it will be very dirty. It’s hard to find out, this is for the patients, for the overall quality of the doctor, for…”

"Then don't you know that sometimes you need to make changes based on the situation? Who told you that everything is static? What is your purpose? Treating diseases and saving people, right? Since your current clothes cannot effectively allow you to exercise your purpose, Then you must know how to adapt and change. Are you stupidly waiting for the people to change in order to actively cater to your goals? There are many roads on the road. You don’t have to go to the dark side and find another road. For example, if you want to go to Dongshi today, there will be a road construction or a wall in front of you, so you don’t know how to turn. "Detour, are you thinking of climbing over the wall or breaking through the wall?" Li Hong said earnestly, looking at Pei Wanying who was always angry.

Pei Wanying, who was listening to Li Hong's lecture angrily, suddenly lost her expression when she heard the last metaphor from Li Hong's mouth, and burst out laughing, forgetting that her father and mother were beside her. Coquettishly said: "I hate it, how can there be such a metaphor? Besides, this is what you decided at the beginning, who dares to change it?"

"Wanying is right. You are His Highness the Crown Prince. They should abide by the rules you have set, even if they are Old Miracle Doctor Sun. So we cannot blame Wanying and the others. Wanying also said yesterday that she plans to After that, try to tie a red ribbon on everyone's arm as you did when you were fighting the plague in Lantian. Maybe this will allow people to go to Lantian to see a doctor. Otherwise, I won't get sick. You can also help Wanying..." Mrs. Pei carried forward her fearless spirit and planned to lead by example.

"Mom, what are you talking about? Why are you still expecting to be sick? Don't worry. Since he said that the clothes can be changed, then of course other places can be changed as well. Wait until the first day of the year to change again. Say If not, there will be a lot of people coming, and now there are more people than before. Although it is still very few, there has been progress," Pei Wanying said while holding her mother's arm.

Pei Xingjian felt gloomy in his heart, but as a passerby, he always had a smile on his face, and from time to time he would nod in agreement with the conversation between the three of them.

In one's own home, inviting His Royal Highness to have a meal is an extremely tiring and energy-consuming task. It is usually not a big deal. No minister is willing to invite relatives of the Emperor to his home as guests. The entire mansion is going to be rebuilt soon.

Although he, Pei Xingjian, did not need to renovate to welcome the prince, but... he had a daughter!

As the sweethearts of the old couple, they naturally rejected Li Hong's opinion unanimously, that is, Pei Wanying would never be allowed to accompany His Royal Highness the Crown Prince south. Even if you remove me from my position as right servant, Pei Wanying cannot be allowed to follow you south. .

If Pei Wanying follows you southward, how many people in the court and among the people will poke holes in the backbones of me, Pei Xingjian, and your Royal Highness? Did the Tang Dynasty still have etiquette

The position of the right servant, Pei Xingjian, is a bit strange. Although there are already such rumors in the court, it is because of my daughter that I, Pei Xingjian, was appreciated by His Highness the Crown Prince and sat on the right servant. The position of the servant.

But now His Highness the Crown Prince wants to take Pei Wanying south, which is absolutely impossible. Doesn't this confirm that Pei Xingjian relied on the favor of his daughter, His Highness the Crown Prince, to sit in the position of right servant

Pei Xingjian could not tolerate his achievements in Anxi and Tubo being ignored by some colleagues in the court who had different political views.

Pei Wanying naturally looked shy, but she was very angry at Li Hong's bold proposal. Why do you dare to say anything? If this happens, my reputation and my father's reputation will be ruined. You are ruined.

Since all three members of the family are opposed to this proposal, and I feel very guilty about this proposal. I have already stolen the girl's heart without knowing it. Are we going to start stealing the girl's body openly

In the end, the matter was naturally dropped. There was no embarrassment of being rejected on someone's face. He continued chatting and laughing as usual until late at night. He sent his daughter into the boudoir and stayed there for several more pillars of incense. Just when Pei Xingjian was about to slash in with his knife, someone arranged his clothes and walked out of his daughter's boudoir with a smile and a satisfied look.

As for the beauty in the boudoir, someone calmly said to the beauty's father: "Wanying is sleeping, so don't disturb her. Go back to sleep. I'm going back too."

Pei Xingjian continued to ask the sky silently, watching the carriage slowly leave. The four words that lingered in his mind, unknowingly turned into a sheep entering the tiger's mouth, lingering in his mind. He didn't sleep well all night. I have been thinking about whether to report the prince to His Majesty, the Queen.

But after tossing and turning, I thought about how the Crown Prince has not been thoroughly disciplined by His Majesty and the Queen since he was a child. This is now serious, and I am afraid that if His Majesty and the Queen want to discipline him now, they will be powerless.

The matter of the martial arts examination was proposed to Pei Xingjian by Li Hong. After Li Hong discussed with Wu Mei, he abandoned Wu Mei's suggestion of referring to the imperial examination system and changed it to holding the military examination in the army in order to attract the people. The purpose of recruiting troops.

Since the Yuan Dynasty, Pei Xingjian's busiest activity has been running around in various barracks outside Chang'an City, accompanied by Ren Yaxiang, the Minister of War. As a first-year martial arts test, it is naturally taken very seriously.

The first inventor and creator of martial arts in history was Li Hong’s Long Ma Wu Mei, and the most famous people in the Tang Dynasty who achieved high rankings by martial arts were the Duke of Dai and the Prince of Fenyang who were later named kings with different surnames. Guo Ziyi.

Now, the martial arts examination submitted by Li Hong to Pei Xingjian was naturally proposed by Wu Mei first, and then after a discussion with Li Zhi and Li Hong, after being approved by Zhongshu Sheng and Menxia Sheng, Li Zhi finally approved it , was issued to the implementer: Shangshu Province.

Before this first martial arts examination, both the late emperors Li Shimin and Li Zhi had summoned people from the world who were good at fighting, but they were not institutionalized like the imperial examination.

Horse shooting, infantry shooting, flat shooting, carbine shooting, weight-bearing, wrestling and military strategy, etc. On this basis, some training subjects of the Futu Camp were also added.

In Li Hong's view, the several types originally proposed by the Ministry of War were enough to meet the current needs of the Tang Dynasty for war training, and there was no need to rush for success, plus the training subjects of the Futu Camp.

With different times, everything is naturally different. Obviously, among the subjects proposed by the Ministry of War, the skills on horseback are still the skills that the Tang Dynasty attaches great importance to, and this is the reason why the Tang Dynasty can conquer all directions and fight hundreds of battles. The basics of yum.

Therefore, Li Hong, in addition to handing over the matter of the military examination to Pei Xingjian to show his importance to the Ministry of War and this military examination, he also transferred the soldiers from Futu Camp and used them as the benchmark for this military examination. Of course, if anyone If you are willing to participate in martial arts competitions, of course you can.

After all, the status of those who passed the imperial examination was the same as that of those who passed the imperial examination, and they were of the same rank as those who passed the imperial examination. They were all official positions of the sixth rank appointed by the imperial court.
