Don't be a prince

Now the old man likes fishing as a pastime, and he doesn’t fish too much. He brings back at most one fish a day, either steamed or braised.

Both the master and the apprentice wore bamboo hats on their faces, spending the afternoon in the cool breeze by the river.

Being slapped in a daze, I became angry, who dares to slap the prince on the head?

Just as he was about to get angry when he got up, seeing Changsun Wuji's angry face, Li Chengqian shrank back obediently.

Today he didn't wear the prince's suit, and the eldest grandson Wuji didn't wear the official uniform. After meeting, he would become a "nephew". If he resisted, he would probably be beaten.

The ancients were like this. A person always has multiple identities, and what identities are used to treat any person is different.

Sitting on the chair given by Li Chengqian, seeing that Li Gang hadn't woken up, Changsun Wuji lowered his voice and said, "It's not proper for a good young man to insist on fishing and sleeping here. Fang Xiaoquan, a great Confucian, taught you to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, isn't it? you forgot?"

Li Chengqian hurriedly bowed and said, "I dare not forget, it's just that Master Li has been exhausted recently, so he can only serve the left and right."

After finishing speaking, as soon as he raised his waist, he saw two more people getting in, one was Wei Zheng and the other was Tang Jian.Then look at the Japanese people surrounded by soldiers led by the prince himself in the distance, nodding and bowing their heads, and immediately figured it out.

Damn Tang Jian was definitely afraid that he alone would not be enough, so he pulled these two people over as a shield.

He wanted to get angry but couldn't get it started, and seeing Changsun Wuji take out his folding fan and start fanning, he felt even more aggrieved.

Ink painting has not yet risen. I studied and studied it myself, and I managed to paint a little charm. When the fan was completed, it was appreciated by the academics in the academy. gone.

But there is no way, who let me snatch his diamonds back then, now I can only swallow this bitter fruit.

Among the three, only Tang Jian was wearing an official uniform, so Changsun Wuji got up, gave Tang Jian the chair, and leaned against the pillar of the shed with Wei Zheng.

Behind this kind of behavior, there is also a messy deep meaning, and I don't bother to tell people.

Glancing at those Japanese people, Li Chengqian frowned, and said to Tang Jian: "Mr. Ju is so scheming, he even called uncle and doctor Wei. Could it be that they are not here, so Gu won't allow them to enter the academy?"

Tang Jian wiped off his cold sweat, and said helplessly, "Your Majesty invited Mr. Zhao Gong and Mr. Zheng to go with you. It's not because His Highness won't let them go to school, but because you might kill them all in a fit of anger! Your Highness, let's have a good talk. How about asking your men to put away the crossbow?"

Helpless, Li Chengqian could only wave his hand and ask the archery team on the river bank to put away the crossbow.

Don't look at him now outside the academy, seemingly leisurely, there are still more than 500 guards around him, all of whom are elite soldiers led by the prince himself.It's just that unlike the ostentatious imperial guards, as long as the prince's personal guards are hidden, it is difficult for ordinary people to find out.Only when the unknown team is approaching like now, will they appear as if teleported, and be ready to persuade the enemy.

Changsun Wuji closed the folding fan, tapped the palm of his hand and said: "Ju Guogong invited the two of us to come and talk, so I don't need to press you as an uncle. Chengqian, tell me, why are you so wary of the Wa people? Although Their attitude towards Shangguo is a bit harsh, but it doesn’t make you hate them so much!”

He poured two cups of tea from the small table between the lounge chairs and handed them to Wei Zheng and Changsun Wuji, then took out a spare cup from the drawer, and poured a cup for Tang Jian and himself.

After taking a sip of tea, Li Chengqian said: "Mr. Yao Silian, a great Confucian in the college, likes to collect history books and various bells and tripods to trace history. From a record handed down from the Han Dynasty, we can know that as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty Emperor Guangwu built the In the second year of Wu Zhongyuan, the Japanese envoys came to Han to worship, and Emperor Guangwu gave the envoys a golden seal and a purple gift. In the tenth year of Sui Daye, that dog or something was appointed as the envoy of the Sui Dynasty, because "the country of sunrise leads to the country of sunset 'The statement made Emperor Yang furious, and he was expelled back to the country the next year."

Changsun Wuji nodded: "You are right. Although I have never heard of the events of Emperor Guangwu's reign, the name of Wa Kingdom has a long history, so I can believe it."

Being erudite is a necessary skill, not only Changsun Wuji knew about it, but Wei Zheng and Tang Jian also nodded.

Chapter 2 One Personnel, Many Affairs

Although they didn't know about Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, they still remembered or heard about what happened in the Sui Dynasty.

"What I want to talk about is not the relationship between the Wa Kingdom and the Central Plains, but about their attitude. Judging from their performance after entering Chang'an, they still know what humility and respect are. But why their credentials After being reprimanded by Emperor Yangdi, did you still insist on this beginning? I heard the envoys of the Sui Dynasty say that the king of Japan regards the sky as his elder brother and the sun as his younger brother. Such a rampant race, after visiting our Tang Dynasty, should not know that our Central Plains emperor is the son of heaven. But they still insist, which shows that they still stubbornly think that they are our uncles.

This is strange, since Datang is clearly regarded as the suzerain state, but in the name of the ruler, he refuses to budge.What does it mean?It can only be said that this is an ambitious country, and now we are respectful to our Tang Dynasty in preparation for the future rampant.It's not that we are boasting, my Central Plains is extremely advanced in the whole world, whether it is iron smelting or agricultural industry.They are a small island where savages live in the Wa Kingdom, and they are so respectful to us, isn't it because they have the intention of stealing from the teacher to learn the art and then killing the teacher?

My Tang Dynasty has the heart to accept all rivers and rivers, but that is only for the obedient people within the scope of my own land.For a despicable small country like the Wa Kingdom, excessive gifts will only encourage their ambition and inertia of getting something for nothing!Uncle, Zheng Gong, Ju Gong, after hearing these words, do you still think that the Japanese envoys can be taught? "

Tang Jian lowered his head, not knowing what to say for a while.He felt that what the prince said was very reasonable, but he always felt that something was wrong.This also, with the heart of a prince, save the belly of the Japanese country!

Wei Zheng stroked his beard, nodded, and said, "I think the crown prince's remarks are good. The Japanese country is indeed a wolf with ambitions. In other words, people who are not of our race must have different hearts. As long as they come out of the Tang Dynasty, no matter which country is worthy of trust. Yes. The Eastern Turks have repeatedly broken the covenant, burned, killed and looted at the border, is it because they are not educated? I don’t think so!”

Tang Jian looked back at Wei Zheng, and was immediately annoyed. Why did he forget that Wei Zheng, an old man, didn't show any kindness to foreigners, so asking him to say it was like shooting himself in the foot!

Can't help looking at Changsun Wuji, this is his last reliance.

Changsun Wuji saw Tang Jian's eyes asking for help, and was about to say something when he heard Li Gang, who was still snoring just now, speak.

"Stop arguing, I understand Tang Jian's meaning. Since we are a kingdom of heaven, we should not treat small countries too harshly. Since the Japanese envoys want to study in our academy, it is a good thing."

A look of joy appeared on Tang Jian's face just now, but he heard Li Gang say again: "However, what to teach them is not up to you, but to the crown prince, do you understand?" Remember it in a second on the mobile phone→. B\\.\ provides you with wonderful novels to read.

Now that Li Gang has spoken, not to mention these few people, the emperor will probably consider accepting this suggestion.

Li Chengqian smiled and cupped his hands. Now it is indeed the general trend to accept Japanese envoys. Even if Tang Jian goes back, he probably will come again next time.Instead of accepting it later and having to teach it, it is better to talk about it now. It is okay to teach, but we have the final say on what to teach!

Tang Jian cupped his hands and said, "Since Taishi Li has spoken, Wansheng will naturally obey."

After finishing speaking, Tang Jian looked at Li Chengqian with a wry smile: "His Royal Highness, please control your subordinates a little bit, and don't do anything about the grassland. Unlike the envoys on the grassland, these envoys came across the ocean from the East China Sea , carrying a large number of gifts. Apart from the tribute to His Majesty, there are also quite a few for studying!"

For sensible people, Li Chengqian naturally likes them.So I didn't bother the old gentleman anymore, and several people walked out of the arbor together to meet the envoys in front of the academy.

In this short period of time, the Japanese people have almost been stripped naked.Not to mention weapons, even the armor made of bamboo was confiscated.One by one, they were wearing loincloths, standing there extremely wretched.

Obscenity is obscenity, but the envoy's head dog Shang Mitian spade and the deputy pharmacist Hui Ri are still very discerning. Seeing Li Chengqian standing in the middle, they immediately imitated the Tang people and saluted: "The envoy to the country, I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Shangguo!" !"

Li Chengqian went to stand outside the circle of guards, frowned and said: "If I remember correctly, you Japan kneels and worships. When ordinary officials see the emperor, they even put their faces on the ground to avoid disrespect. Tang, are you so unruly? Could it be that the identity of the lonely prince is not as good as your emperor?"

Faced with this sharp question, the samurai were just about to get angry when they were stared at by Inugami Mida's sharp eyes.

Obediently kneeling down on the ground, Inugami Mita said respectfully: "There is a saying in the country of Tang that you do as the Romans do, so the villain is rude. Xia Guo has long been envious of the scriptures and classics of the country of Shang. My emperor ordered us to show respect. Come, I wish to obtain the classics of the upper kingdom, so that we and other uncivilized pariahs can be enlightened, and I hope Your Highness will help me!"

After speaking, a dozen or so warriors stepped aside and opened the box they had brought. Under the sunlight, the silver that was full inside gleamed attractively.

Seeing these silver coins, Li Chengqian remembered that Wa country is not that bad, even though it is just an island country, it is rich in mineral resources.Especially silver, that sees silver mines, when the output is at its peak, it can even hold up one-third of the world's silver output.You must know that no matter what is linked to the world, as long as it is not modern, it is synonymous with Niu 13.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian's tense face immediately relaxed.The guards still stubbornly drove away the Japanese warriors, and only allowed the prince to approach after checking the box.The Wa people were not surprised by how they were treated. They believed that it was already a kind of courtesy not to have to answer with a knife in front of the prince of a country.

Looking at the silver in the box, the fineness is good, but the smelting is backward, and there are many impurities in it, but just like this, the combined value of these silvers is more than 20 guan.

Nodding in satisfaction, Li Chengqian turned his head and took a few steps forward, approached Inugami Mitian, and said: "It's okay, it seems that you still know the value of knowledge. However, since you want to study in the academy, you must memorize the rules of the academy. If you break the law, you will be punished twice, okay?"

Seeing that the matter finally took shape, Inugami Mitasho was overjoyed: "Don't worry, Your Highness, don't say double, if anyone breaks the rules of the court, I will take his life!"

Li Chengqian nodded, and then said: "Since you want to learn the culture of the Tang Dynasty, you should actually enter the Academy of History. Our culture in the Central Plains has a long history, and it can even be traced back thousands of years ago. Recently, Mr. Yao from the Academy of History found There are a large number of tortoise shells. I think the symbols on them are the characters of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. An old man will be tired if he always lifts heavy things. After you go, you should be more respectful, understand?"

Pharmacist Hui Ri grinned, and said in a weird official way: "Don't worry, Your Highness, respect the old and love the young, we still know. We will treat the old man as a father and take care of him like a father!"

Seeing that the crown prince sent Japanese envoys to the History Academy, Tang Jian was a little puzzled, but Yao Silian was indeed a great Confucian. If the academy really sent Yao Silian to teach these Japanese students, it would not be regarded as a scam, but a compliment!

Seeing that the Japanese envoys were brought into the academy by the crown prince, Tang Jian thought for a long time before sending two followers to accompany the Japanese envoys.He was really afraid that the prince would let these people die for no apparent reason.

Now that envoys from all over the world are gathering in Chang'an, if the Japanese envoys are completely wiped out at this juncture, it will have a bad impact on Honglu Temple and even the entire Tang Dynasty.

Leading Inugami, Mitian, and others into the college, the group of local dogs were amazed at the college's buildings, flowers, and stone carvings along the way.It's just an academy, even more magnificent and luxurious than their palace.Especially when they saw the windows made of colored glaze, their admiration became more and more obvious.

Shangguo is Shangguo, even compared with Sui Dynasty, Tang Dynasty was more powerful.

Leading them all the way, they entered the small courtyard of the Academy of History, pointed to the open space opposite the warehouse, and Li Chengqian said: "Someone will send you tents later, and it's not that they are just deliberately treating you harshly, it is because the academy has just completed enrollment. , the dormitory is full. Besides, you are not from the Tang Dynasty. To avoid conflicts with my Tang students, you should live here. Opposite is the library of the History Academy, so it’s wonderful to be able to study when you go out!"

Looking at the first few rooms full of books, Inugami Mida's saliva was about to flow out.Arching his hands: "The envoy to the country thanked His Highness for his kindness. Don't worry, Your Highness. If there is any conflict between your subordinates and the students of the Tang Dynasty, you don't need to deal with it. The villain will chop off his head to make amends!"

Li Chengqian nodded, seeing that his relatives and soldiers had brought the tent over, he asked them to prepare their luggage first, and then he went back to the river to push the old man.

This requires a meeting. Although these jackals have to be welcomed into the academy, a meeting is still needed to explain.Especially the branch of artisans must be listed as a forbidden area, and Japanese people who enter without authorization will be beheaded!

The old gentlemen had so many students to teach that the meeting was not called until the afternoon break.

When he learned that he was assigned to teach the students of the Japanese country, Yao Silian was furious: "Damn it, I still have to compile and usurp the books of Liang and sort out the cultural relics of Yin and Shang. How can I have time to teach those savages! If you want to teach the prince, you can teach yourself, don't Push it on the old man!"

This one can be said to be a loner, and he is wholeheartedly waiting for the main school district to train him with suitable students.Except for helping to teach for a few days when there was a shortage of manpower, he just plunged into his own branch and didn't care about world affairs.Although capricious, the old man said that no matter what information he sorted out, it was owned by the academy, which is considered generous.

Li Chengqian got up and poured a cup of tea for Yao Silian himself, patted him on the back and said, "Calm down, let the boy tell you the reason for this. The boy always thought that the Wa Kingdom was not a good thing, but refused them to enter the academy. I can’t save face, and it’s not good to spread the word, so I welcomed them in. You don’t know, the teacher’s apprentice ceremony sent by the envoy of the Japanese country is more than 20 guan! I decide, half of it will go to the public account, and the other half will be given to the public. How is your history school?"

Yao Silian snorted coldly: "I am ashamed to talk about money!"

Even so, the old man stopped panting.

"Look, you are looking for the relics of Yin Shang. Tortoise shells are easy to find, and you can always find them in medicine stores, but in Yin Ruins and other places, you can't always cheat those Mojin school captains that Lao Jin knew. How good it is to let these Japanese people take risks."

Yao Silian gave Li Chengqian a strange look: "How did the old man find that you don't treat Japanese people as human beings?"

"Hehe, Lao Yao, you don't know that he killed the Japanese envoys on the grassland. I don't know why this kid dislikes the Japanese people so much, but I trust his judgment."

Li Gang is like this, at most a word or two of persuasion, but when Li Chengqian makes up his mind, he will become a supporter.

Fang Xiaoquan has become more and more energetic since he lived in the academy, and his white beard looks very imposing when stroked.

"Boy, make it clear. Since the rules of our academy are one person's affairs and everyone's affairs, it's okay for you to be unclear."

Li Chengqian returned to his seat, took a sip of tea, and said: "Although the Japanese envoys seem to be sincerely apprentices, they are actually here for the various crafts of our Tang Dynasty. Folk craftsmen, they don't have any knowledge. When I had the opportunity to visit, the government was there, and folk craftsmen did not dare to teach them. So they used the excuse of learning classics, but they actually set their sights on our craftsman academy. What do they want for the Four Books and Five Classics? Go back and develop Confucianism in the island country? So, ah, Since they don't tell the truth, let's believe their nonsense and educate them!

Of course, this knowledge is not taught casually. Mr. Yao, you are sorting out the things of the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Why don't you teach them the division of feudal lords, and tell them the story of Cao Mengde by the way. I think it will definitely suit their appetite!Besides, Japanese people are all cheap, once they recognize you as their husband, even if you want to kill one of them, they will wash their necks and kneel down for you to chop.On weekdays, they are moving things, transporting tripods and other things, they are definitely better than handymen! "

"Why do you teach them these things! Could it be..."

Guessing a possibility, Yao Silian had no choice but to shut up.

"Hey, I heard that they are arguing endlessly over the position of the crown prince, and there is such a thing as Su Wo's family who has monopolized power. How can we not tell them the story of Cao Mengde!"

Yang Du smiled: "Boy, look at your bad stomach, the old man is ashamed to be with you! Remember to tell them that Mr. Yang is also proficient in the affairs of the Three Kingdoms, and occasionally comes to help the old man clean up the house!"

Having said that, there is no need to continue the discussion.Several irrelevant old gentlemen started to leave to prepare for their next class.

The rule at the beginning of the establishment of the academy was that all matters should be discussed by everyone, so as not to make mistakes.It is not a big deal for Japanese envoys to study in the academy, but the details must be explained clearly to these old gentlemen.

Li Chengqian went out to see the Japanese envoys after seeing off several old gentlemen, especially after making old Mr. Yao smile again.

The tent has been set up. Although it is a tent in the army and the conditions are simple, it is more comfortable than their original residence.

They couldn't enter the cafeteria either, so the food was delivered by the cook himself.

The meals are the same as those of the students of the Tang Dynasty, with vegetables and meat, and there is no skipping.The cook even gave them a live fish for them to eat by themselves.

They were flattered by the food of Shangguo in the Tang Dynasty, and the appearance of live fish made them thank the cook for their courtesy.

Seeing the prince coming from a distance under the escort of the sergeant, Inugami Mitian quickly stuck the knife used for the sliced ​​fish in the tree, and then ordered his subordinates to disperse and let the guards check.

Li Chengqian didn't ask the guards to search him again, but walked up to Inugami Mitian Shovel with a smile, and asked, "How is it, Mr. Inu, can I still get used to the food of Datang?"

Inugami Mitian spade fell to the ground, and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness, the envoys of the next country have never eaten such delicious food. Thank you for giving me raw fish according to our folk customs. Zhenguan College is like our It’s like a second home, it’s heartwarming! But Your Highness, just like Ouyang Dugu in the Central Plains, the villain’s surname is Gou Shang, not Gou...."

After speaking, he carefully watched the prince's reaction.

Li Chengqian nodded, and said: "Since you don't think the college is treating you badly, then prepare for class tomorrow. Mr. Yao is one of the most moral scholars in Chang'an. If you let Gu know that you are disrespectful to him, hehe..."

Inugami Mitian quickly swore that he would never let the old man down.

After coming out of the History Institute, we made a detour to arrive at the Engineering Institute.Now Yan Liben is the branch dean of the engineering college. When he saw the prince coming, he came to greet him with a smile.

"Yan Liben, Gu entrusted you with fifty elite soldiers to guard against the Japanese envoys. The reason why there is a courtyard between the engineering college and the main teaching area is to kill people. No matter what the reason is, as long as they cross the border and enter the courtyard , then it will be regarded as a crime of spying on the Engineering Academy, and beheaded directly!"

Seeing the seriousness of the prince's words, Yan Liben immediately put away his smile and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I must remember the humble position!"

After leaving fifty soldiers for Yan Liben, Li Chengqian was ready to go back to Li Gang's small courtyard to rest.

After enjoying the biggest fish caught today with the old man, Li Chengqian returned to his room to rest.

It is said that when accepting foreign cultures, we should take the essence and discard the dross.So if it is exported to the outside world, it must give away its dross and hide my essence.

The enfeoffment of the princes in the Zhou Dynasty is very suitable for the current Wa country.Cao Cao was awarded Jiuxi by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and later coerced the emperor to command the princes. I believe that the Su Wo prawn in the Wa country is still something, and he should have such a heart!

In the second year of Zhenguan, Emperor Tuigu, the first female emperor in the history of the island nation, died. Because she did not make a clear will, the one with the right to inherit broke her head.In the end, that prawn or something supported the new emperor, who succeeded last year if I remember correctly.

The Suwo family has the heart to steal the throne. Although the records are incomplete, it should be all right.

Lying on the bed, Li Chengqian couldn't help but miss his mobile phone. When he was free, searching for something would always lead to more search desires one after another.

Originally, I was just curious about how the royal family of the island country was passed down from generation to generation, but after searching and searching, I found the head of Emperor Tuigu, and learned about the situation of the island country during the Tang Dynasty.

Now that you have some impression, then seize this impression and hurry up to encourage their Suwo family.How boring it is to be a submissive citizen, if you have the ability to do something big like our Cao Mengde!

With the best wishes for the Suwo family, Li Chengqian fell into a dreamland...

Chapter 211 Autumn Hunting

Living in the academy is much more interesting than living in the East Palace. In the East Palace, you are the prince, and in the academy, you are the vice president. These two identities are very different.At least, when he was in the East Palace, even if the eldest grandson dared to do so, he wouldn't dare to steal the folding fan.

It is obviously the age of the students, but because of Li Chengqian's status as the "deputy dean", he has become a person of two classes with the students.Apart from showing up occasionally to check the dormitories suddenly to see if their quilts are folded into squares, there are very few lectures.

In this way, Li Chengqian lived in the academy until autumn.

"Your Highness, among those Japanese people, there are two skilled men who wanted to spy on the Craftsmanship Academy, but when my subordinates brought people to question the crimes, Inugami Mida had already chopped off the heads of those two people and knelt on the ground begging for punishment. .”

The deputy dean's office is the only one, and it is not next to the offices of the great Confucians, so Yu Tai can say these words directly.

"Hehe, Gu knows that a thief's heart will not die. If you don't believe me, just look at it. Inugami Mitian will send at least three or four people to test it out. If something goes wrong, he will kill his subordinates and act like he will be beaten or punished. "

"It seems that what you said is right. These Japanese people are indeed stubborn. Just by taking the lives of their subordinates to steal secrets without any scruples, you can see the insensitivity of their rulers."

What Li Chengqian wanted to do was not hidden from Li Gang. Although he was the deputy dean and the emperor was the principal dean, the real talker in the academy was the old man.
