What if the eldest brother's son is allowed to join the new students? He can study systematically and then be sent to the army for some experience.
The members of the new students are extremely complex, ranging from ordinary people to the children of princes. Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and it is natural for these people to gather together. If it were not for the strict management of the students, they would have made trouble long ago.
Zhang Zhongjian looks like a pirate leader now, and his son's education problems can be heard from the conversation. If such a stupid young man really gets into the students and injures or kills anyone, Zhang Zhongjian's school will be in trouble.
The Holy Emperor Mingzun is not the Supreme Emperor, and he is extremely strict in enforcing the law. The academy has rules and regulations, and the Tang Dynasty has laws. These are no joke.
"Whether you join the army or not, at least I won't cause cholera in Chang'an City if I follow you." Hongfunu gave up her initial idea and felt that it was better to let Zhang Zhongjian take his son to the battlefield.
Seeing that Hong Fu Nu's words were slightly different from before, Zhang Zhongjian curiously asked Hong Fu Nu, "Hong Fu, you seemed to have something to say just now."
"At first, I wanted to let my nephews go to Xinxue Academy to study. Considering their personalities, I thought it would be better to follow you. If not, it would be better to leave them in South Asia halfway and leave them to Li Moyun. ."
The general is outside, supporting his troops and respecting himself. If the heirs are together, the emperor lacks the means of containment. Only a few people who are trusted by the emperor have the possibility of father and son being in the unified army together. Zhang Zhongjian surrendered from outside, and he has not yet reached this level.
"But, would it be appropriate for someone like me to go out to fight with soldiers and leave no heirs?"
Hongfu Nu thought for a while and nodded, "Your Majesty is open-minded and doesn't care about these small things. Your Majesty has many generals in his hands, and I haven't seen your Majesty say anything." These are all the truth.
"Let's talk about this later. I'll wait until the pharmacist comes back and ask him if I can go back. I'm worried that I'll go back too late. If my subordinates conflict with the Tang fleet, it will be too late to say anything. "
What Zhang Zhongjian said was indeed true. If the two sides fought before he went back, many people would die. Let alone Zhao'an, it may be a fight to the death situation.
"OK"
Hongfu agreed, comforted Zhang Zhongjian to rest in the pavilion, and ordered the housekeeper to prepare some money and clothes, as well as some members of the Li family's family, so that they could be ready to escort Zhang Zhongjian to take office at any time.
Zhang Zhongjian did not shirk the arrangements for Hong Fu Nu. At this time, he really needed some manpower.
Hongfu Nu was a quick and capable person, and she used to take care of Duke Wei's mansion. In the absence of Li Jing's participation, the mansions of several princes were well managed.
night
Li Jing came back in a hurry, and Hongfu Nu told him that Zhang Zhongjian wanted to leave. Li Jing pondered for a moment and nodded and said, "Well, my eldest brother is right. I go to the palace every day to write a letter of approval for my eldest brother, and I can leave the day after tomorrow. It's a pity that we haven't seen him for so many years. I really want to keep him for a few more days." Military strategist Li Jing I knew this was impossible, but for the sake of the future of Zhang Zhongjian's family, I had better put this matter aside.
After all, Zhang Zhongjian was not too young, and he would not be able to lead troops for many years. Li Jing calculated that it would only take about three to five years for him to return.
Speaking of age, Gan Ning and Lu Meng in Li Mingda's hands looked like they were only in their 20s. There was still plenty of time in the future, and Li Jing once thought about why he should use Zhang Zhongjian instead of continuing to let people like Gan Ning and Lu Meng carry diseases to harass the enemy.
After much thought, Li Jing could not get an answer that could completely convince him. It can only be said that His Majesty Mingzun gave the eldest brother some compensation for his strong support to the Li family back then.
"Pharmacist, all good things come to an end. Besides, my eldest brother is going to join the army and may return to Chang'an City to retire in a few years. We can still see each other then. We might as well buy him a house nearby so that we can all live closer. The eldest brother is on an expedition, and his sister-in-law and young children at home cannot follow him, so it would be better to bring them to Chang'an City so that they can be taken care of." Li Jing, the Duke of Wei, used to live a low-key life. Li Mingda asked her to join the cabinet. She wanted to keep a low profile, but she couldn't. Go there.
The people living in the Duke's mansion on Zhuque Street in Chang'an City are die-hard confidants of the Li family, and those of the younger generation have been their playmates since childhood. When the eldest brother's family came to Chang'an City, as long as they didn't offend Murong Xue, everything would be easy.
"I'll leave this matter to you."
"good"
The couple reached a consensus with a few simple sentences and looked at the getting late outside. Hong Fu blinked at Li Jing and said, "Pharmacist, it's getting late. Let's rest."
Li Jing subconsciously touched his waist, and felt a thump in his heart. His body couldn't keep up with his age. After the elixir given by Li Mingda, my body has improved a lot, and I can still work harder.
"Well, it's getting late." Li Jing reached out and took Hong Fu's wrist.
"Oops" Hongfu frowned and exclaimed.
You don’t use any strength yourself?
Li Jing stretched out his hand and pulled open Hong Fu's sleeve, and there was a streak of dirt on it. Li Jing hurriedly asked Hong Fu, "Hong Fu, what are you doing?"
"I injured my wrist when I was practicing martial arts. It's because of my age. I can't accept my old age anymore. Some of my moves are no longer so smooth." Hong Fu explained his injury with a smile.
Li Jing nodded, "Yes, so do I. Your wrist is injured. Doesn't it hinder you?"
Hongfu shook his head, his face slightly red, "Medicine Master, take a rest."
The next day, Li Jing got up and went to the imperial study room, hurriedly wrote the approval document for Zhang Zhongjian, stamped it with the seal, and obtained the imperial approval from Li Mingda. After completing some procedures, Zhang Zhongjian first sent someone to inform Zhang Zhongjian to complete some procedures. He also asked Hongfu Nu to prepare wine for Zhang Zhongjian.
That afternoon, Li Jing took leave and returned home early to his mansion. He took out the drunken dream and hundred brews given by Li Mingda from the warehouse and put them into practice for his eldest brother.
sumptuous dishes
Delicious food and wine
Li Jing lived a frugal life. Although there were musicians and dancers in Duke Wei's mansion, they were not many in number. In terms of quality, it is still high-end under the control of Hong Fu Nu.
The musicians played this lively tune, and the dancer danced in the center.
After being rigorously trained by Hong Fu Nu, their dancing skills definitely belong to the upper class.
Li Jing and Zhang Zhongjian did not follow complicated etiquette. They used a larger dining table and sat together to exchange cups and cups intimately.
This was a farewell banquet. Both parties knew that the farewell would take several years. If Zhang Zhongjian had an accident at sea, the farewell would be permanent.
Both of them drank from large cups
Seeing the happy expressions of Li Jing and Zhang Zhongjian, a smile appeared on the lips of Hong Funu beside her. She stretched out her hand and rubbed her wrist. The slight pain made her frown slightly.
