Don't be a prince

"Don't say it, it's not so much the Orion's house, it's better to say it's a homeless person. That stupid Orion, at most used a rope to tie one or two pheasants. There was not enough food in the house. Later, I learned how to find rabbits, so I did it a few times. A rabbit..."

As soon as he met his peers, Chang Sun Chong started talking.

None of the eldest sons can fool around. As the eldest son of the eldest grandson's family, he has been studying since he was five years old, and now he even goes to Orion's house to experience the life of a savage. He is in dire straits.

Hearing Chang Sun Chong's complaints, Li Chengqian realized that his resistance was just the result of being pampered by later generations.

Compared with Changsun Chong's situation, he is not too happy as a prince.

At least, he won't starve if he can't hunt the prey.

Chapter 71 Li Yuanchang

Seeing the heated conversation between Changsun Chong and the prince, Changsun Wuji smiled slightly and chatted with Gao Shilian on the right.

The emperor hadn't appeared yet, so even if there were food and wine on the table, he couldn't move his chopsticks, otherwise it would be disrespectful.

I don't know how long it took before the golden bell rang, and Li Chengqian and Changsun Chong hurriedly separated, straightened their upper bodies, and looked seriously at the direction of true north.

Not long after, the two emperors came out and sat down on their seats, one on the left and the other on the right.

That's right, two!

Looking at Li Yuan, whose temples were even more graying, Li Chengqian knew that the Xuanwumen incident was still a knot in his heart that he couldn't solve.Occupying the Tai Chi Hall and refusing to give up, may have been his last stubbornness.

This time Li Shimin showed his father a lot of face and sat on the right hand side.He also consciously picked up the wine glass and let the old man speak first.

Li Yuan knew that his son was giving way to him, so he didn't shirk it. He picked up the wine glass and scanned the audience, saying: "It's New Year's Eve, and all the gentlemen gather here. Don't be cautious. It's better to enjoy alone than to enjoy together. Whenever there is any program, gentlemen, Donate them all!"

Li Chengqian, who had learned etiquette, picked up the wine glass naturally, and shouted loudly with everyone in the hall: "No!"

Then....

Take a sip.

For things like alcohol, drinking less can relax the tendons and activate blood circulation, but drinking too much can damage the liver.The wine in his glass is pure wine, although the alcohol content is not too high, but for a seven-year-old body, it is better to drink less.

Anyway, no one will come to see how much the prince has drunk, right?

Li Yuan had already spoken, so Li Shimin didn't say anything more. When he waved his hands, there was music playing, and a group of beauties in long-sleeved dance skirts entered the venue to dance.

Now you can move your chopsticks, Li Chengqian is not interested in the light dance in front of him, avoids the plate of scum boiled hairtail, and tastes the river fish first.

Although not too much seasoning is used, the umami taste of river fish without any pollution in this era is a kind of delicacy.

As for other dishes, he was really not interested.The terrible cooking skills of the Tang Dynasty, even if it was produced by the Imperial Dining Room, could not arouse his appetite.

For the New Year's banquet, you can't always eat Hesse nonsense.

Just when Li Chengqian killed a quarter of the fish, Hejian King Li Xiaogong stepped forward.

He waved the dancer away to stop the music, Li Xiaogong first saluted Li Yuan and Li Shimin, and then said: "Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor, I would like to dance the lance to cheer you up. taste."

Li Yuan's complexion was a bit ugly, but Li Shimin smiled and nodded in acquiescence.

Immediately, a guard in front of the hall entered the arena and brought a horse spear.

To put it bluntly, the horse lance is a long piece of wood plus a sword body. Compared with ordinary guns and spears, its blade is longer.

Although the horse lance brought up by the guards didn't attack, it was still a big killer.In the palace, especially in front of the emperor, ordinary people would not have the guts to use such a weapon.

There is no music, but the whirring sound when the horse is waving is itself a kind of impassioned music.

At the beginning, Li Xiaogong was just playing tricks and tricks, but when he really got serious, the long-stalked horse seemed to be a phantom in his hands, especially when turning around, it was really like a Like a disc.

Cheng Yaojin and other military commanders immediately applauded loudly, even the two emperors were also very satisfied.

Seeing Li Xiaogong waving the puck, Li Chengqian immediately believed in the plot of the generals blocking arrows in TV dramas.

With Ma Leng dancing like this, the emperor's uncle looked not flushed or out of breath, and seemed to be able to do a job with ease.Such a method may really be able to resist the rain of arrows.

The scene of Ma Yang getting out of his hand did not appear. When he felt his palms sweat a little, Li Xiaogong stopped and handed Ma Yang over to the guards.

Li Yuan did not express that just now Li Xiaogong called His Majesty first and then the Supreme Emperor, which made him very upset.

Li Shimin was more straightforward, took the wine glass and handed it to the waiter, told him to serve it to Li Xiaogong, laughed and said: "King Hejian's martial arts are still the same as before. It is a blessing for the Tang Dynasty to have a general like Qing in the Tang Dynasty, and Have a drink!"

It is a great honor for the emperor to give wine, especially for the emperor to give away his own wine glasses.Because after drinking, the recipient of the wine can take away the emperor's cup as a "trophy".

Li Xiaogong laughed and drank the wine, holding the cup and returning to his seat.

Just when Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong were eager to have a try, a voice that was a bit immature but slightly arrogant sounded.

"Father, Prince Hejian's horse lance dance is wonderful, and my son is willing to make a fool of himself."

Li Chengqian followed his reputation, and among the group of people who had been marked by Changsun Wuji as "don't need to remember" before, a child about his age walked out.

"Who is this?"

If you don't know him, you have to ask someone, so Li Chengqian simply pushed Changsun Chong away and asked Changsun Wuji for questions.

Although that was what he said before the banquet started, Changsun Wuji's intelligence work was quite sufficient.

After just one glance, he replied: "Li Yuanchang, I remember that his biological mother is Concubine Sun."

"Li Yuanchang? Lying... This is the first time I've seen you."

Swallowing the word "groove" fiercely, Li Chengqian couldn't help but put on colored glasses for this one.

In history, the guy who sent a ladyboy to Li Chengqian and then participated in the rebellion!Definitely not a good bird!

Li Yuanchang's "Father Emperor" can be said to regard Li Shimin as nothing.Now that the two emperors are here, even Li Xiaogong has to be called His Majesty first, and then the Supreme Emperor.Even if they were arranged first and last, at least the greetings were reached.

But this guy obviously came out to provoke.

Li Shimin still has a little impression of his young brother.

After looking at each other with his father, Li Shimin smiled and said: "It's Yuanchang, I didn't expect it to be so big. Since you want to dance swords, Brother Huang agrees."

After a while, a guard in front of the hall went to the hall and brought the Yijian.

The so-called ceremonial sword is a sword without a sharp edge. It is usually worn by generals to represent their status, or worn by ceremonial guards in some ceremonies.

After receiving the Yi sword, Li Yuanchang didn't salute, just drew the sword out of its sheath, and started dancing.

Watching Li Yuanchang's movements, Li Chengqian suddenly had a very strong sense of sight.

This guy's movements are inexplicably similar to those of the old men and women who exercised in the park and practiced Tai Chi sword in later generations.

It's a bit too soft!

Li Chengqian was not the only one who saw this, Chang Sun Chong's face was so paralyzed in front of his father that he almost failed, so he could only cover his stomach with one hand to ease the convulsions of his abdominal muscles.

This is too funny!

Although there is a word "Wu" in front of Wujian, but it really looks like dancing, which is shameful!

Chapter 72 One Hit Kill

Finally, maybe because he used the wrong force when swinging, the Yi sword in Li Yuanchang's hand flew out, and it hit the case of Princess Fangling impartially.

The pot of boiled octopus was thrown up by Yijian, splashing Princess Fangling's head and face.

Princess Fangling who was under attack immediately screamed and frantically wiped her face with her sleeve.

She had to be thankful that the fish wasn't so hot after it was brought into the palace from the imperial dining room, otherwise her ugly face would have been disfigured.

The sudden change made Li Yuanchang a little dumbfounded. He hurriedly wanted to help the emperor wipe it, but was pushed away by the mad Princess Fangling.

Looking at the bewildered Li Yuanchang, Li Shimin said: "Yuanchang, you can let go of the sword as soon as you let it go. If you don't hurt your sister, you will be fine. But your swordsmanship needs to be practiced more!"

As soon as these words came out, not only Li Yuanchang blushed like blood, but even Li Yuan's expression became unnatural.

Because, Li Yuanchang's sword dance was taught by him.

Li Yuanchang, who was so ashamed that he couldn't bear to feel ashamed, could only say stiffly: "Brother Huang, I usually practice swords with wooden swords. Please give me the wooden sword, Brother Huang. I want to do it again! And, this time I want to challenge the prince!"

"What?"

Li Chengqian, who was on the sidelines wholeheartedly in front of the melon-eating audience, did not expect Li Yuanchang to be involved in him.

No, you are flying with swords yourself, why are you challenging me?

I'm here to eat and drink honestly, don't bother you!

The embarrassing Li Yuan was about to drink away the stupid son, but was preempted.

Li Yuanchang turned his head and found Li Chengqian, who was the first on the left, and said bitterly: "I heard that the crown prince studied under Duke Wei Li Jing, do you want to back down?"

have to.

Putting down the cup, Li Chengqian stood up.

It's okay not to mention Li Jing, but if it is mentioned, he can't avoid the battle no matter what.To avoid the battle would be to embarrass Li Jing.

Although Li Jing is only Wei Guogong, he is a member of the courtiers.But Li Chengqian knew that this guy, like the old gentleman, really taught him wholeheartedly.During the period when he swung his sword to chop the stakes, although Li Jing didn't talk much, he was able to correct one of his bad habits every time.

If he avoids fighting, Li Chengqian will laugh at himself if others don't laugh at him.

"Hehe, challenge Gu? Little Huangshu, have you really decided?"

Looking at Li Chengqian's calm expression, Li Yuanchang was a little flustered, but the embarrassing scene just now gave him the motivation to make things right.

Nodding his head resolutely, Li Yuanchang cupped his hands to Li Shimin and said, "Brother, please help me!"

Before Li Shimin could speak, Li Yuan stood up first: "Nonsense! You can challenge the crown prince too? Isn't that embarrassing enough? Go back!"

But Li Shimin also stood up with a smile, and pulled Li Yuan to sit down: "Father, don't be angry, today is New Year's Eve, how can you be angry? Since Yuanchang wants to try with Chengqian, let them try." He is only one year old, so there is no big difference."

The East Palace has more than one eyeliner for him. As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, it is impossible for him to not even know what is going on under his nose.He is very clear about Li Chengqian's hard work every day.He didn't believe that Li Chengqian like this couldn't beat Li Yuanchang who was trapped in the Tai Chi Hall.

The guards in front of the temple still had sharp legs and feet, and it didn't take long before they brought wooden swords for practice.

From the moment the wooden sword was brought into the hall, neither Li Yuanchang nor Li Chengqian could go back on their word.

Seeing that the guards were about to take away the Yijian dipped in fish soup, Li Chengqian yelled to stop and took the Yijian.

Pulling out the sword, Li Chengqian pointed at Li Yuanchang with the tip of the sword, and said with a sneer, "I usually practice wooden swords, so that's the reason? You just look at it."

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian swung his sword with one arm and slashed at the guards in front of the palace with all his strength.

These guys really deserved to be my father's mysterious family background. Seeing Li Chengqian slash with his sword, the guards also drew their swords, but instead of fighting back, they stood in front of them to block.

when!

Clearly identifiable collision sound!

Although he retreated a little, the sword was still firmly in Li Chengqian's hand, and there was no sign of it flying away.

Clearly feeling the power contained in this sword, Li Xiaogong and others couldn't help nodding their heads in praise.

Although it was just a child's full-strength blow, no matter from the strength, the smoothness of swinging the sword, and the relief of the counter-shock force, it can be seen that the prince practiced diligently on weekdays.

This is a really solid practice result, and it is not comparable to Li Yuanchang's ostentation!

After cutting out with one sword, Li Chengqian cut out two more swords. The guard felt the power of the previous sword and added some strength.However, no matter how strong the shock force was, the sword in Li Chengqian's hand had no intention of flying away.

After the three swords were over, Li Chengqian calmly put the sword back into its sheath and threw it to the guard.

"how?"

Looking back, although Li Chengqian was a little shorter than Li Yuanchang, his words were full of condescension.

Taking the wooden sword from the guard's hand, Li Yuanchang gritted his teeth and said, "It's just three swords! What's the point?"

Li Chengqian could only sigh and shook his head looking at this melon boy who would not die until the Yellow River.

After receiving the wooden sword, unlike Li Yuanchang who held the sword with both hands, Li Chengqian still used the sword with one hand.

He was used to the weight of the real sword, and now that the wooden sword was in his hand, he felt as if it was nothing.

Shocked by Li Chengqian's three swords before, Li Yuan knew that Li Yuanchang had no chance of winning, so he could only anxiously say: "Chengqian, this is a contest, don't hurt anyone! If Yuanchang is safe and sound, I can promise you one thing!"

Li Yuan couldn't think of anything suitable at the moment, so Li Yuan could only promise one thing.

Hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes brightened for a moment, but quickly dimmed again.

Li Yuanchang turned his head stiffly, he didn't understand, why didn't his father stand by his side today?

Gritting his teeth, he put aside his shame, facing Li Chengqian's casual look, Li Yuanchang rushed over directly.
