Not long after, Lao Wang, the chamberlain who was serving Lao Li Yuan, came in a hurry and said, "Sir, several generals are coming towards Xiaojiazhuang with their sons."
Li Daozong asked in confusion: "What? Didn't you say that no one comes to Xiaojiazhuang in normal times? Why is it so lively today? If I don't come, they won't come either?"
Old Li Yuan chuckled and said, "Yes, if you didn't come, they wouldn't dare to come in such a large group."
"Moreover, they have calculated the time, and when you finish doing things, they will come in just in time."
Li Daozong was not a reckless man, but a well-known wise general. At this time, he also realized the problem. He suddenly stood up and said in surprise: "Third uncle, are you saying that they all bring their children to be apprentices?"
Old Li Yuan nodded, "Yes, everyone knows that Xiao Rui is the best person in the world, both civil and military. Those who follow Xiao Rui are all among the best, so now some people say that he is the best master in the world."
"Is this why you're here?"
Li Daozong nodded.
"Chengfan, do you know why Xiao Rui never accepts disciples?"
Li Daozong shook his head, "Is it because he is too young?"
Old Li Yuan rolled his eyes and pointed out: "Since Xiao Rui became famous, there is only one student who has been truly recognized by him."
who? Li Daozong didn't seem to remember.
Old Li Yuan didn't answer.
After thinking for a moment, Li Daozong suddenly realized, "Is it His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince once studied in Xiaojiazhuang, but because he disliked the teachings of the Marquis, he ran away from home and went on a study tour. In the end, the Turks fought to save the Prince."
"Understood?" Old Li Yuan nodded.
Li Daozong wondered: "Third uncle..."
Li Yuan waved his hand and said: "You don't know something. The last time Cheng Qian ran away from home and traveled thousands of miles, it was all secretly promoted by Xiao Rui. He said this was the most suitable education method for the prince. The prince is not a bird in a cage. It is necessary to know the secrets of the court and the sufferings of the people."
"But Cheng Qian was raised in the palace since he was a child. He has a dandy attitude. Ordinary preaching is useless, so Xiao Rui secretly promoted this situation. Although he was captured by the Turks and narrowly escaped death, you also saw that Cheng Qian was reborn."
Li Daozong admired him and said: "Master Hou is really the best teacher in the world."
Um?
Old Li Yuan said displeasedly: "Chengfan, after talking so much, don't you still understand?"
Li Daozong saluted respectfully, "Third uncle, Daozong understands. The Marquis will only accept one disciple in this life, and that is His Royal Highness."
"Now that you understand, let's go and don't take the lead in making noise." Old Li Yuan waved his hand.
Li Daozong did not leave, however, and he was confirmed to be the number one teacher in the world. Who wouldn't want his son to achieve great results after him?
"Third uncle, can you make an exception? Instead of becoming a disciple, you can leave Jingren in Xiaojiazhuang as a guard or a book boy. As you know, Jingren is too incompetent. If he doesn't discipline him, he will be useless... "
Playing the emotional card?
Old Li Yuan was silent for a moment, then turned to the chamberlain Old Wang and asked, "Let's see where the next few people went?"
Lao Wang went to ask the patrols along the way and reported back: "Sir, we'll be there in about half an hour."
Old Li Yuan nodded and motioned for Li Daozong to sit down, "Chengfan, Jingren is one of our own, and as an uncle, I can't ignore it. But the matter between Xiao Rui and the prince is a matter of rules, and it involves a lot. You have to know the importance."
When Li Daozong heard this, he thought there was a way? He quickly stood up and nodded in response, "Yes, it's all up to your arrangement, Third Uncle."
Not long after, Li Daozong left on horseback.
Xiao Rui also finished cleaning up and went out to call for dinner in person, "What? Where is Uncle Daozong?"
Old Li Yuan laughed and stood up, "Is the meal ready? We are going to have a sumptuous feast today."
"No, where are the guests?"
"You kid, coming here uninvited is a bad visitor! I have already sent him away and asked him to help you solve a problem. If you have an opportunity in the future, you can give some guidance to his useless little son." Old Li Yuan explained.
"What does this mean? Are you saying that Uncle Daozong is not an outsider..."
Old Li Yuan told what happened and the pros and cons. Xiao Rui was confused and couldn't help but cursed: "Which bastard is behind this? It's too vicious."
Wang Jishan, who was hiding deep in his house in Chang'an City, sneezed several times and wiped his nose angrily.
Old Li Yuan laughed loudly: "I don't know who made you evil, but I helped you solve the problem. Is it nothing if you cook a few dishes as a reward?"
Xiao Rui hurriedly caught up and laughed, "Of course it's nothing. You can tell me what you want to eat at any time. Isn't it right to be filial to you? If there is an elder in the family, it is like having a treasure. Today, the boy has learned a lot."
…
Not far after Li Daozong walked out of Xiaojiazhuang, he ran into Yu Chigong and others.
"Hey, King Rencheng, what are you doing? Are you coming to see the Marquis today too?"
Li Daozong's face was full of anger, and he cupped his hands hastily, "Humph, the title of champion is too great for Li Daozong to reach. I just came to visit my third uncle."
Um?
What's happening here? Everyone started muttering.
Li Daozong asked: "Generals, what is this? Why are you still bringing your children?"
Everyone, you look at me and I look at you, but you are too embarrassed to say it. It was the emperor who sent us to beg Xiao Rui ourselves. He thought that when you succeed in becoming the king of the city, we will have a ready meal and the champion will not be able to reject us. But now it seems that you and the champion are not in harmony. .
Yuchi Gong said: "Hey, it's nothing. My boy is not good at writing, and he doesn't have enough strength to learn the double whip taught in my family. I want to take him to the Marquis to practice martial arts."
"Oh, they are similar. They all want to teach their children to the champion for a few days."
Li Daozong looked sarcastic and raised his hand: "It's a good thing, then I wish you all success. I have other things to do, so I won't be with you anymore."
That's not right...
Yuchi Gong hurriedly stopped and asked, "Your Majesty, didn't you say that you also want to teach your children to the Marquis?"
Li Daozong's expression was extremely ugly, and he said in a cold voice: "He is too arrogant. Li Daozong has no face at all in front of the champion. I can't ask for this master-disciple relationship."
"Of course, there are several differences. Based on your friendship with the champion, it shouldn't be a big problem."
"Farewell!"
After saying that, he hit the horse and galloped away with full of resentment.
For the remaining people, you look at me and I look at you.
"Everyone, are you still going?"
"Go, why don't you go? We'll be there soon. King Ren Cheng is right, we have been with the Marquis through life and death, and based on our friendship..." Yu Chigong was the most confident.
But soon he was slapped in the face by Niu Jinda, "General Yuchi, don't forget, King Rencheng is the cousin of Princess Xiangcheng. The prince must have had an affair with the Supreme Emperor just now. With such a relationship, the champion prince has no face at all. If you don’t give it, you will fall out directly... us people?"
Yuchi Gong:......
"How about we go back first? Find a suitable candidate some other time and test the Marquis' tone?"
"Well, that's a good idea! If you go rashly with your child like this, if you are rejected, you will have no chance at all. Let's go, go back, and come back another day!"
