Autumn is high and the horses are fat, and the grass is green and yellow; in the wilderness, flags are like forests, and horses are galloping; groups of hawks and dogs are chasing each other, flying up and down, hiding those animals that are fat and strong in preparation for the winter. They were disturbed and driven out everywhere; and they fell under the sound of arrows.

The courtiers in crimson robes, the guards in half armor and bean hats, the internal officials in brown robes and gauze hats, as well as the female officials and wives dressed in men's clothing, all rode horses draped in brocade with great interest, cheering in front of and behind them. Amid the whistling sound, they galloped and shot, the groups of wild animals that were deliberately driven in front of them.

On the periphery, a large number of soldiers were used to surround them on foot, holding snares and horns and drums that could make loud noises; shouting and screaming to drive away and surround the fleeing birds and beasts. No matter whether it is young chickens, wild geese, wild ducks, deer, wild deer, or wild boars, they cannot escape the danger;

Then, the final ownership is determined based on the arrow feathers with personal markings on the fallen prey. However, the most eye-catching ones are the various cats released from the saddles of horses and the cages of carriages; obviously domesticated cheetahs, caracals, lynxes, etc.

With beautifully woven silk ribbons and gold and silver bells, they rush into the thick grass and shrubs with a splash, and fly out of the half-dead prey. All of this is like a long historical picture scroll, with various lifelike characters and moods condensed in it.

The girl in an accompanying carriage had never seen such a lively scene in her life; her heart was filled with excitement, and she was shouting and screaming along with the roar of the crowd; her little face was full of excitement and joy , I can’t wait to lean half of my body out of the car window.

So much so that the combed sideburns and bun were all messy and loosened by the rushing air and the rushing air. He screamed at the top of his lungs and his voice became hoarse, but he didn't even notice it. Although Mrs. Zheng tried to stop her several times, she was stopped by Jiang Tian.

After all, she had been in the palace of yin and yang for a long time, and it was a rare opportunity for her to come out and witness such a passionate and hormonal scene; she had never shown such a happy, cheerful and relaxed side; there was no need to interfere and suppress it. The girl was in high spirits.

However, the girl's excitement about new things did not last long; she sat back a little exhausted, looked at Jiang Bin with a helpless expression and said: "Mr. Li Nu, can you..." Jiang Bin Without hesitation: "No, don't even think about it."

"Wan'er!" Madam Zheng also said in a calm tone: "Thanks to Mr. Li, you and I rarely go out once and forget about it?" "Auntie is right." The girl's little face suddenly changed. Pulled down: "Daughters should not have to look to Shu and forget their own responsibilities."

"It's not that I'm afraid of trouble." Jiang Tian touched her head with his paw and comforted her: "As my disciple, you can learn whatever you want, it's just a matter of perseverance. If you are interested in learning riding or hunting, There will still be opportunities in the future, but it’s just not worth it now;”

"You come out now and first learn to observe and identify various people and things. Use this to analyze and infer their temperaments, preferences, and various daily habits, and record them. This is also one of the things I have assigned to you. Homework, if you do it well, there will be rewards.”

"Yes, sir." After hearing this, the girl became cheerful again and secretly stuck out her tongue to her mother: "Wan'er must have taken notes." While speaking, there were several short shouts approaching. , but it was an unknown animal that hurried out of the grass in the distance.

And in the sound of rustling, he flew past not far away from the carriage. Then came several snarling, thin-mouthed dogs with long legs and drooping manes; and an extraordinarily strong short-tailed flying-eared caracal, which instantly rushed under the belly of the grazing horse and was startled. It has to raise its forelimbs.

He also suddenly pulled the mother and daughter who were caught off guard and fell into the carriage, rolling into a ball. The frightened and neighing packhorse was about to drag the carriage out. In an instant, a small black shadow flew out and landed on the horse's head. With a little force, it collapsed.

Although he struggled and rolled in the dust, he could no longer stand up; naturally, the carriage stopped in place. At the same time, the short-tailed caracal cat that was chasing away in the grass suddenly rolled over and screamed, as if it had been attacked by some terrible attack.

Immediately afterwards, several riders chasing after them were also frightened by the frightened caracal cat that ran away and zigzagged. Their mounts were frightened, and they hissed and raised their hooves. Some people were unable to control the rope for a moment. He immediately fell off his horse; for a moment, the scene became chaotic.

Jiang Tian had already shaken off the bloody fur on his paws, returned to the carriage, and curled up in the girl's arms. At the same time, he whispered to Madam Zheng how to respond to the internal officials who came to inquire. Therefore, a short time later, Mrs. Zheng and her daughter were summoned by the Crown Princess to express their condolences.

Jiang Tian took the opportunity to come to the gorgeous palace tent on a movable cart pulled by several white oxen, and then came by the familiar route, leaning next to the prince Li Hong on a rope bed. I saw him wearing a tight-fitting brocade robe with sleeves and a long flat scarf on his head. He looked quite dignified.

But it was somewhat inconsistent with his pale and thin face, as well as his slightly haggard and sunken eyes with faint bloodshot eyes. Jiang Tian couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, have you stayed up late and worked hard again? This is not conducive to warmth and nourishment! Didn't you agree that you should take care of yourself and be useful in the future?"

"Actually, it only happens once or twice, but it's not a serious problem for the patient." Prince Li Hong waved his hand and said: "I have taken the medicine according to the doctor's instructions; I am just a little happy. I have been seeing patients in succession in the past few days. Having met so many talented people, I can’t help but want to talk happily all night long.”

"Let's take a look, Lisheng. That is Lu Zhaolin from Fanyang, Youzhou (now Zhuozhou, Hebei)." Li Hong pointed to the colorful shed set up on one side under the carriage, and a figure who was writing quickly said: "Deng The contemporary Sima Xiangru in the king’s mouth is said to be a great scholar and writer.”

"Before, he served as the Dianxuan of Prince Deng and the Xindu County Lieutenant of Yizhou. After he was dismissed from office for offending Wu Sansi, he has been recuperating in a cottage in Taibai Mountain. He once followed Sun (Si Miao) to live in seclusion in the mountains and take medicine, but Fei Fei After a lot of twists and turns, we found out where he lives in seclusion."

"This is his old friend Meng Shen, the 31st grandson of Ya Sheng Mencius, and a closed disciple of Sun Zhenren in his later years." Then he pointed to another middle-aged man who looked rich and dignified: "Therefore, he is also a contemporary medical master, known for his best dietary therapy."

"It was also because of the special entrustment that Sun Zhenren, who was living in seclusion, was invited to recuperate the body of the orphan. He was appointed as the minister of Shang Pharmacy. Now, the orphan is swallowing the tea soup and bait according to the "Nourishment Recipe" he presented. The orphan has agreed to take care of his body. He published "Bixiao Fang" and funded the compilation of "Dietotherapeutic Materia Medica"."

"The famous general Bian he was talking to was Song Lingwen, a native of Hongnong, Guozhou (today's Lingbao, Henan Province). He was also one of Sun Zhenren's old friends in his hometown. He originally taught the heroic general Bian to enrich his literary skills and craftsmanship. He is a man of extraordinary strength, and is known as one of the three most powerful men in the world. In his early years, when he was a student of the Imperial Academy, he also had the ability to raise an ox and lift a pillar."

"Now I have been invited to serve as the general of the Younei government to rectify the internal affairs. The young boy with a beard beside the general of the Song Dynasty is the eldest son Song Zhiwen. He is also a talented man in the country with quick thinking and eloquent words. He is also his younger brother Song Zhiti. He also had courage, and Song Zhixun was even better at calligraphy, but he had not yet mastered the ceremony."

"The eldest official was Yang Jiong, a native of Huayin, Huazhou (today's Huayin City, Shaanxi Province). He was known as Lingming and was known for his intelligence, erudition and outstanding literary talent. Therefore, in the fourth year of Xianqing (659) , was selected as a child prodigy in the world when he was promoted to a disciple, and was awarded the Hongwen Museum at the age of eleven and has been in the system ever since; "

"At the beginning, when Gu collaborated with other ministers to compile "Yaoshan Jade Color", I had met this person several times. Therefore, this time Gu made a special trip to summon him, and he won my heart with just a few words; he immediately Please be recruited as a bachelor of Chongwen Hall, and he is also one of the directors of the compilation bureau appointed by Gu Nei."

"Another young man with whom he was friendly was Shen Quan, whose courtesy name was Yunqing. He was a native of Neihuang, Xiangzhou (now Huang County, Anyang City). He was a literary scholar in Guxinzheng, famous for his rich diction and clear pronunciation. He was Du Shen next to him. Yan (about 645-708), whose courtesy name was Bi Jian, was from Xiangyang, Xiangzhou (now Xiangyang, Hubei)."

"He is a branch of the Du family in Jingzhao. He was a Jinshi in the first year of Xianheng. He was appointed as Xicheng Wei and was recruited as a student assistant..." Hearing this name, Jiang Tiancai nodded slightly. Isn't this Du Fu's grandfather? Li Hong didn't realize it and said again: "Fu Jiamo was also recruited next."

"A man from Yongzhou Wugong (Shaanxi Wugong), he was a Jinshi in the first year of Xianheng Dynasty, but he has never been released from official position. Instead, he studied and studied at home. He once wrote "Lise Fu with Songs" and is also a contemporary prose master. I plan to teach him to compile and compile Bureau Assistant , to take charge of the compilation of manuscripts for "Ancient News and Modern Essentials"."

"Among all the people, the only one in white is Chen Zi'ang, a native of Shehong, Zizhou (now part of Sichuan), whose courtesy name is Boyu. According to Li Sheng's mention of the visit, he was still studying in his hometown in preparation for a few years. Later, he took the scientific examination; so it took a lot of effort to persuade him to enter the Eastern Palace?"

"It seems that His Highness was also very touched by the song "Dengyouzhou Taige" written by later generations." Jiang Tian took advantage of the situation and asked with a smile: "Do you want to go to his hometown specifically?"

"It's much more than that?" Prince Li Hong, who has always been gentle and humble, rarely showed his face. However, he pointed to a few unfamiliar faces among the attendants on the left side of the stage and said, "Didn't Li Sheng say that he was the Four Heroes of the Early Tang Dynasty?" Is that the reason? Besides Lu Zhaolin and Yang Jiong from before, guess who else is here?"

He was a middle-aged scribe who was over thirty years old. He was described as handsome and handsome, but his face showed the vicissitudes of life. Jiang Tian thought for a while and asked, "Could he be King Luo Bin?" "Yes," Prince Li Hong said immediately. : "He is the Yonghui child prodigy who came from a humble background and was able to write poems at the age of seven."

"It is said that he is especially good at seven-character songs. He wrote a long masterpiece "Emperor Capital Chapter" when he was young. He thought it was his last song at that time; I also heard about it at that time. In his early years, he was a member of the Taoist palace and worshiped Lilang, a bachelor of Dongtai Xiangzheng. Because of his affairs. He was banished and joined the army in the Western Regions, and now he is serving under the general manager of Yaozhou Daodao."

"When he was an official in Shu, he had close contact with his friend Lu Zhaolin; therefore, he was recruited to join him. However, his early experiences seemed to have made him quite reclusive; when he was invited again by Guren, he showed his identity. It was the song "Cicada in Prison" that made him change his mind."

"After that, when I saw him alone, I found out that he was really talented in making grand speeches. He was worthy of being the one who would write "An Advocate for Xu Jingye" in the future, which also made the queen mother exclaim: "Does the prime minister want to lose this person? "A figure of the generation. Therefore, Gu has recruited him to Zuochunfang, where he is in charge of Si Yilang, who serves as an attendant and admonisher."

"So, your highness will not let Wang Bo, the last of the Four Heroes of the Early Tang Dynasty, let go?" Jiang Tian also grasped the key point again, and looked at the obviously more young faces among the officials in the East Palace below the stage. Said: "I don't know, which one is it in front of me?"

"Right now, he is not here yet." Prince Li Hong shook his head slightly and smiled: "This Prince An (characterized by Wang Bo) is very familiar to me. He passed the Yingyousu Examination at the age of sixteen and was awarded the title. Chao Sanlang. He was kicked out of Prince Pei's Mansion for doing "Cock Fighting", but it caused a sensation."

"At the beginning, he was imprisoned for joining the army in Guozhou and killing hidden official slaves without permission. Not long ago, he was released due to amnesty and was recuperating behind closed doors at home. Therefore, even if he came to recruit troops, he would not be able to avoid being rejected. He was still a solitary letter and was transferred. Father Wang Fuchou's internal decree to return to Luo made him change his mind."

"Therefore, it will still take some time for him to come from Jiangzhou Longmen (today's Hejin, Shanxi) to take up the post at this time? After all, it is thought that such a person would actually fall into the sea next year and die on the way to visit relatives in Jiaozhi. , can’t help but make Gu Yin sigh, but also feel the same sympathy?”

However, Jiang Tian was somewhat speechless and sighed. I have mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally. The contemporary heroes and celebrities from the early Tang Dynasty were all collected by this sick prince without making a move. You are playing with rare talents' stamp cards. !

However, if you think about it carefully, this is also very consistent with the current personality of the prince Li Hong, as well as the follow-up route secretly planned for him; after all, if the East Palace reorganizes and expands the ten guards when there is nothing, it is suspected of a coup. But it is perfectly normal to like to recruit talents and accept young talents.

"Li Sheng, do you know who this is?" However, Prince Li Hong seemed to be unwilling to give up, and pointed at a purple-robed and half-armored man with thick eyebrows and thick beard. A small circle of elderly ministers gathered together. He said: "He is the contemporary British Duke, Li Jingye, Shaoqing of Taipu Temple."

"Fuck..." Jiang Tian realized at once. Isn't this the last representative of the Zhenguan Patriarchs, the only remaining hero of Lingyan Pavilion, the grandson of the British Duke Li Ji, and Xu Jingye who would later rebel against the Zhou Dynasty in Yangzhou? Is this going to turn the East Palace into a base camp to resist future Wu Zhou?

"Your Highness, the fate of Li Jingye in the future will not be very good." Despite this, Jiang Tian still reminded vaguely: "Although he claims to have gathered a hundred thousand people, he has no intention of going north to help. Instead, he is entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River. , but as a result, the imperial army was defeated and died as soon as it arrived!"

"I should know better." Prince Li Hong said with an understatement: "But after all, he is the British princess of Yuansu in the two dynasties, and he is also the representative of Zhenguan's old ancestors; and in the future, the world will change surnames and there will be no news at home, only With him resolutely raising an army in Yangzhou, how could I not use him?"

"I also plan to use this as an opportunity to continue to gather like-minded people outside the court just in case!" Hearing this, Jiang Tian licked his paws again and said: "Since His Highness has this determination, then just in case The current Donggong Palace is not enough to support it, so we must generate additional income from sources.”

Just as Jiang Tian began to search through his memory, there were all kinds of quick-effective ways to make money among the time travellers. At this time, a voice came from the audience outside the tent: "Your Majesty, Master Wanhui wants to see you." (End of Chapter)
