At least, in Li Xian's own opinion, the issuance of this order will more or less cause resistance among some people. The good intentions of those in power are often treated as shit by the people at the bottom.
but....
What he didn't expect was that after listening to his words, several old farmers who were enjoying the shade stood up in succession. As for the old man who looked the oldest, he tried twice before he stood up.
Pointing at Li Xian's nose, the old man said angrily: "After all, he is a lowly businessman. He can't even speak properly. What does it mean to be reasonable? What does it mean to be excessive? Boy, understand it. Although the imperial court only provided relief to the elderly, weak, women, children, orphans and widows, However, the food provided by the relief is enough to fill their bellies. As for the young and strong, they all have hands and feet to work for the court. If the food prescribed by the court is not fake, then they can not only feed themselves, but also Bring some food home."
"In times of calamity, not dying of hunger is a good thing that God has mercy on. Having bark, grass and roots to eat is thanks to Grandma Houtu's kindness. As for being able to eat enough food, we have to be grateful for the kindness of the Queen and the imperial court. "
"Besides, although I am an old farmer, I can also settle accounts. When the prince does this, he has to pay more food than usual for disaster relief. Isn't this a favor? You are still a businessman's son, so there is no such thing as an account. Can do the math!"
The first time someone pointed his nose at him and scolded him, he was asking for it. Li Xian suddenly smiled bitterly.
Seeing that His Highness the Crown Prince was insulted, Li Yun grabbed the dagger in his sleeve. As for the guards, they all clenched their fists. As long as His Highness the Crown Prince gives an order, they don't care who these people are and will definitely beat them to death.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, all the guards of this businessman boy came over. There were a few young men behind him who also picked up their poles, as if they were going to start a fight if they disagreed.
Fight with the people?
Li Xian was sure that if such a thing really happened, he would probably be overwhelmed by the impeachment memorial the next day. He would also lead ridiculous disaster relief and try to cleanse himself of the stains, which would be a problem.
After waving his hand to stop Li Yun who was about to explode, Li Xian led the team and left the shaded place in despair.
It wasn't until he avoided the farmers that Li Yun asked: "Your Highness, those untouchables have insulted you so much, why don't you let your slaves beat them up?"
Li Xian said helplessly: "Why are you beating him? Even if he insults the prince himself, we still have to endure it. Who said we are testing others? Besides, it is wrong to use status to oppress others. Emperor Taizong once said "The king is a boat and the people are water. When have you ever seen a boat sailing on a waterless channel?"
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
The sound of applause came, and Li Yun looked warily in the direction of the sound, and saw the elegant Ming Chongyan, dressed in white, exposed under a tree.
"His Royal Highness is indeed worthy of the name of kindness. Even if he is insulted by the people, he can still endure it."
Seeing that Ming Chongyan wanted to come over, Li Yun waved his hand and asked a few guards to protect the prince. With a gloomy face, Li Yun walked over with the two guards.
Seeing the change in Li Yun's expression with his own eyes, Li Xian couldn't help but secretly smile bitterly.
Li Yun is already a master of martial arts, but judging from Ming Chongyan's ability to avoid his detection and approach easily, this guy is also a master!
Faced with Li Yun's approach and request for a body search, Ming Chongyan did not refuse, but accepted it calmly. Even if his crotch was checked, he could pretend it was nothing.
After carefully checking to make sure there were no weapons, Li Yun allowed Ming Chongyan to approach. However, because of what he had just experienced, he did not dare to relax his vigilance against Ming Chongyan.
"Ming Changshi turns out to be a master of martial arts. If he touches Gu's vicinity, if he doesn't make a sound, I'm afraid he won't be exposed."
"It's just a little trick to hide your presence. If Your Highness the Crown Prince is interested, I can teach you."
"Oh? Ming Chang Shi Kenjiao, Gu will definitely be prepared to satisfy you."
"This... Shu Xiu is not necessary. Your Highness is willing to learn. It is already an honor for me."
After saying that, Ming Chongyan couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.
He was just being polite, being polite!
Who knew that the prince would agree directly.
Li Xian naturally saw the change in Ming Chongyan's expression and couldn't help but snicker.
A magician like him still needs some real skills if he wants to deceive people. The means of concealment are actually not linked to force, and if he could deceive Li Yun by simply concealing himself, it was not as simple as a small trick.
Although I can't think of any use for a prince to learn such a method, there is nothing wrong with learning it. Traveling through the Tang Dynasty, there was no golden finger by his side, no system to accompany him, and no grandfather to protect him. Li Xian didn't mind learning more skills. Who knows when stealth might come in handy?
As a prince, leaving the palace is a luxury, let alone leaving Chang'an City with a small number of guards.
Therefore, Li Xian only came out for a casual look and had to return to the East Palace.
Rather than just wandering around, Ming Chongyan came out specifically to find the prince.
Because, right in front of Mingde Gate, Li Dan had been waiting for a long time. It was obviously the hottest time of the day at noon, but this fool was still standing in front of Mingde Gate. Although he was in the shade, his clothes had been soaked with sweat, and he looked like he had been fished out of the water. Same.
"I would like to advise His Royal Highness King Ji, since His Highness the Crown Prince is not in the East Palace, just come back another day. Who knows, His Highness King Ji will have to wait for your return at the door."
After listening to Ming Chongyan's words, although Li Xian was very moved on the surface, he actually extended his middle finger to Ming Chongyan in his heart.
People are often pretentious, and some people are so obviously pretentious that they are just disgusting. Only if it is artificial enough to confuse it with reality will it not make people vomit.
Li Dan didn't have the basic conditions to do this kind of thing, so forcing him to do it would only look artificial.
Needless to say, the person who arranged this matter must be Ming Chongyan. With such a thing going on, Li Xian felt that he really couldn't refuse to let Li Dan enter the East Palace.
Waving his hand, he asked the chariot already prepared by Mingdemen to come over and give one to Li Dan. Li Xian said politely: "Eighth brother, just like Ming Changshi said, you can come back another day, why bother?" Waiting here?"
Li Dan's eyes obviously moved to the upper left, and after a long time he said: "My brother came to the East Palace without sending an invitation. It is already rude. How dare I be rude again? Waiting for your return at the door is the etiquette that my brother should follow." "
Li Xian smiled, stopped talking to Li Dan, and ordered the chariot to go directly to Chongjiao Hall.
The six old men of the fifth surname did not stay to eat, and the exquisite dishes were given to Zhang Daan and others to improve their meals. It is already afternoon. Needless to say, Li Dan has not eaten. Although there is no exquisite banquet, this little guy has never enjoyed the fun of cold noodles. A portion of cold noodles is really suitable. .
Thanks to the fact that Donggong's finances are now much better and they don't have to rely on the so-called living people, Li Xian can be more generous in terms of living expenses.
For example...send eunuchs to go as far as Lingnan to buy some things.
There was a time in his previous life when he liked green plum green tea, so in the Tang Dynasty, an era when there were not many palatable dishes, he had no choice but to explore it on his own. Although the green plum-flavored cold noodles feel a bit nondescript, the taste is unexpectedly satisfying.
Li Dan had never eaten such a meal before. Just after taking the first bite, he felt it was particularly smooth. The sour, sweet and especially cold feeling made the accumulated anger in his body disappear in an instant.
He ate the noodles in the bowl in just a few mouthfuls, making people wonder if he didn't chew them at all.
Seeing Li Dan eating greedily, Ming Chongyan couldn't help but sigh: "The cold noodles made by the East Palace Kitchen today have a taste that I can't taste at all. The freshness of the taste makes people feel relieved from the heat. No wonder Ji Your Highness, you will like it so much that you will not care about your image."
Seeing Ming Chongyan slowly enjoying the cold noodles without even being surprised at all, Li Xian couldn't help but wonder if this guy had adjusted his manners to the full level. Whether it was cold noodles in soup or spicy cabbage, it was always so light and indifferent when he ate it in his mouth.
After finishing two bowls of cold noodles, Li Dan wiped his mouth and said sheepishly: "Brother Six, I wonder if you can ask the cook in the East Palace to teach this cooking method to my younger brother's cook? I know, it’s so hot this year, my brother doesn’t know how to eat, and he hasn’t eaten so happily for a long time.”
Judging from his expression, this time, it seemed that Ming Chongyan did not instruct him to do this.
Li Xian is quite supportive of Li Dan taking the initiative to do something.
"Of course, it's just a kind of food. The eighth brother will call the cook tomorrow and let him learn in the East Palace kitchen for a while."
Seeing that the emperor agreed, Li Dan stood up excitedly and saluted: "Thank you, emperor!"
Li Xian smiled and nodded. When he looked at Ming Chongyan again, he couldn't help but feel a headache.
As he wished, Li Dan came to the East Palace, but how to place it was still a problem.
Li Xian is now being "tortured" by Mr. Xiao Jue, who requires him to at least read some popular books. Moreover, judging from his age, Li Xian poses a higher threat than Li Dan.
However, taking into account Ming Chongyan's factors and extending the time, it is really impossible to say for sure.
While Li Xian was comparing the threat levels of Li Xian and Li Dan, Ming Chongyan also finished eating the cold noodles.
After taking a long breath, Ming Chongyan's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands and said: "I'm afraid it will take a few days to prepare for the disaster relief before it can officially start. Since His Highness the Crown Prince has time, why not follow Wei Chen and learn Tibetan medicine?" How about the art of invisibility? As for His Royal Highness King Ji...His Royal Highness King Ying is in the East Palace, just let them study together, what do you think?"
Learning to hide?
Li Xian immediately became interested. Although he had seen people playing this trick on special ice in TV series, it was two different things to watch it. Now that there was a master teaching him, there was no reason not to learn.
Besides....
Li Xian knew very well that this guy's teaching to him was probably just a cover. As for the purpose of this cover, it was still unclear.
However, so what if you just don’t know?
This is the East Palace! No matter how Ming Chongyan plays his tricks, in the pond in the East Palace, the bait will be exhausted but not a single fish will be caught.
If Ming Chongyan could break through the iron wall of the East Palace further based on the foundation laid by Tai Zihong, unless the sun comes out from the west!
Nodding, Li Xian decisively agreed: "In that case, the eighth brother will go and play with the seventh brother. As for Gu... After taking a nap, how about studying with Ming Changshi?"
To Li Xian's surprise, Ming Chongyan shook his head and said: "Your Highness, noon today is the most suitable time to learn to hide. It would be a waste if you take a nap. However, if you start studying in the afternoon, it will be It’s nothing, of course it’s you who has the final say.”
Start at noon?
Although surprised, Li Xian agreed.
Everyone stood up and divided into two groups. Accompanied by several personal guards, Li Dan headed towards the Yichun Palace.
Li Xian was not surprised that he insisted on using his own bodyguards. When a prince went to the prince's east palace, even if he forced a smile on his face, he would definitely still have fear in his heart.
in addition....
Since Ming Chongyan chose to hide from the professor, most of the time, even if he made any moves, it would be on Li Dan's body. Forcibly calling for guards might disrupt his movements, so Li Xian simply didn't send any guards.
He brought Ming Chongyan to the martial arts arena and cleared out the guards, leaving only Li Yun. Li Xian smiled and waited for him to start explaining.
Standing on the martial arts field, he looked up at the linen cloth above the martial arts field. Ming Chongyan frowned and cupped his hands and said: "His Royal Highness, hiding is actually very simple. The difficult part lies in the first lesson."
"The so-called concealment means that you must first keep your mind like still water and your body like a rock. No matter what kind of environment you are in, you must maintain your body shape. Your Highness, the sun is strong today. My suggestion is that you should stand in the scorching sun. Underneath, stand firm and remain still to exercise your persistence."
After listening to Ming Chongyan's words, Li Yun frowned and said: "Standing under such a scorching sun, motionless? I'm even dizzy from the sun. What's Ming Changshi's intention?"
But Li Xian smiled and waved his hand to signal Li Yong to shut up, and walked to a straight ladder pillar exposed to the sun. He leaned against the pillar and basked in the sun motionlessly.
I think back then, I had even experienced standing in a military posture under the scorching sun for two hours, and I didn't think it was anything scary. Nowadays, Ming Chongyan's request is no different from standing in a military posture.
With someone to lean on, you won’t feel too tired standing, and you won’t feel too boring if you have something to think about. As for skin color....
Li Xian snickered when he saw Ming Chongyan also walking aside and enjoying the sun with him.
This guy doesn’t know how to take care of himself. Even though it’s midsummer, his face is still white, tender and dewy.
I am different, because I have to practice martial arts every day, and I have long been tanned.
It was obvious that this guy had plans to take the opportunity to embarrass himself. However, since he chose to accept it, he must follow him.
Let’s see who can’t help it first!
After taking a look at the bright sun, Li Xian closed his eyes and began to recall some movies he had watched.
