Seeing that the master of the family had fainted, the children of the Zheng family all ran over in a hurry, pinching some of them, and some carrying cold water basins ready to splash water.
Everyone is busy saving people, but...
No one stood up to refute Wang Qiong.
As children of aristocratic families, they all knew that what Wang Qiong said was not wrong at all. In fact, the things Zheng Wen did in Chang'an have caused quite a stir after being spread back to the clan area.
At least, judging from these things, Zheng Wen is really not worthy of being the head of the Zheng family.
Although the head of the family can rely on the strength of the family to prosper his own small family, correspondingly, whatever he does must be based on the prosperity of the entire family. Now that things have come to this, I'm afraid that Zheng Wen's position as head of the family will no longer be guaranteed.
Thinking of this, an elite member of the Zheng family who was pinching someone hesitated for a long time before continuing.
In his opinion, the head of the family might as well just die. Although the head of the family is the representative of the family, he cannot truly represent the entire family. In the history of the family, there are not only one or two people who have been pushed out as scapegoats out of necessity.
Rather than being held accountable or punished by the family while alive, it would be better to die.
Although the Zheng family was in chaos, the remaining six families didn't pay any attention to it.
In their opinion, whether the Zheng family's reputation will be hit is not within the scope of their worries. If faced with the coercion of the imperial power, the five surnames would naturally unite and deal with the outside world together. But now that Zheng Wen is committing suicide, who can blame him?
So...
The banquet that night ended with the Zheng family leaving early. It's no good if he doesn't leave. Simply pinching someone won't wake Zheng Wen up. If he doesn't call the doctor quickly, I'm afraid his fate will really end here.
Early the next morning, the heads of the six families visited the East Palace again and brought a large number of gifts. In their opinion, this time, although the prince had made many restrictions on the six families, he was still very sincere. At least, the fame gained by the six families this time cannot be measured by money.
After the heads of the six families left, Ming Chongyan, who was waiting outside the Mingde Hall, walked in and saluted: "Who would have thought that the heads of the five surnames and six families would have to obey the arrangements of His Highness the Crown Prince, and they are even more satisfied. Etiquette, come to the East Palace for pilgrimage. To be honest, even today's saints have never experienced this."
Facing Ming Chongyan's rainbow fart, Li Xian just smiled, which was considered a response.
He knew exactly what was going on. It's time for the Huali clan of the Mei clan to use the Gaotong chip again, let alone the five surnames and the royal family.
After all, the Five Surnames are almost like a group. There are many similarities between running a family and doing business. Even if they had a rough time with the royal family before, when it was time to cooperate, they would still adopt a suitable attitude and achieve cooperation. And if the royal family threatens their interests, they will tear off their smiling faces at any time and use whatever means necessary.
but....
After glancing at Ming Chongyan, Li Xian tried hard to control himself not to laugh.
Ming Chongyan is indeed a pretty boy, the kind who can easily debut in a training class for later generations.
But Ming Chongyan was so handsome, and his face looked like it was sewn together with rags.
Yesterday, the sun was so hot on him, tsk tsk.
Seeing the prince looking at his face with interest, Ming Chongyan couldn't help but feel angry.
However, he still did not dare to show it, so he could only raise his hands and say: "Why didn't His Highness say a word and only looked at Wei Chen's face?"
Li Xian put away the smile in his heart and tried his best to control himself and said expressionlessly: "I kept my eyes closed yesterday and never paid attention to Ming Changshi's situation. I never thought that I would get you sunburned. I really shouldn't have. . But Ming Changshi, since you can resist the sun alone, can we start the next stage of training?"
Seeing that the prince didn't seem to be in trouble at all, Ming Chongyan felt depressed. Exposure to the sun is actually just a branch of the first stage, and the first stage trains people's ability to remain calm and motionless in various environments.
The best situation is, of course, to practice all of these. However, Ming Chongyan knew that many of them were much more dangerous than basking in the sun. If he wanted to teach the prince, the people around him would probably Neither will agree.
As for...well, the above are all excuses. Ming Chongyan knew very well that even if he had to teach the prince, he still had to hold back. Including the experience of hiding, it is best to discount it when teaching it to the prince.
After thinking about this, Ming Chongyan smiled and said: "His Royal Highness, you have passed the test, and you can naturally start the next stage. In this second stage, what you need to learn is to adapt to local conditions. The knowledge of concealment, There is a great demand for cleverness. As the saying goes, it is better to hear a hundred times than to see it once. How about hiding the secret minister in the Mingde Palace, and His Highness the Crown Prince will come to look for the secret minister later? "
Does this mean that the professor has adapted measures to local conditions?
Li Xian was stunned for a moment, then agreed and left Mingde Palace with Li Yong.
As soon as he walked out of the palace door, Li Yun frowned and said: "Your Highness, the art of concealment has also been learned by slaves. It may not be as advanced as Taoism, but it is the same, and it will definitely remain the same. Hidden form It's okay for Ying to practice endurance first, but after that, he will train the art of climbing over walls and ridges. After all, some places can't be climbed, let alone hidden."
After listening to Li Yun's words, Li Xian immediately smiled, patted Li Yun's shoulder and said, "You all thought that the Taoist's art of concealment might be more advanced. At this time, the various sects' learning and teaching methods, Aren’t they all particular about not spreading the word to outsiders? Do you think Ming Chongyan will really teach Gu?”
Li Yun asked doubtfully: "Since Your Highness knows that he is not sincere, why do you still want to study with him? From my perspective, you might as well study with me."
"Why? Because I think it's fun, haha."
After laughing, feeling that the time was almost up, Li Xian opened the palace door and walked in.
Myeongdejeon is a mock government hall of the East Palace. Although it is not as big as the formal government hall, it is still small but has all the internal organs. In addition to the main hall where meetings are held, there are many rooms.
The so-called hiding, in Li Xian's opinion, is like a more advanced form of peek-a-boo. Although Ming Chongyan has two brushes, he will definitely show weakness this time and will not really hide them so that no one can find them.
After a normal person enters the main hall, he will definitely go straight to the few places in the back hall where people can hide. But Li Xian was different. After entering the palace gate, he began to look around.
Under normal circumstances, no one would be hiding in the empty main hall. but...
As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. The possibility that Ming Chongyan is in the main hall is a bit high.
In Li Xian's opinion, if it were him, he would definitely do the opposite. When the person who was looking for someone went into the back hall and searched all the hiding places, and when he got discouraged, he appeared in the main hall again and sat there openly and openly, showing his strength at once.
Behind the pillar, no. There is no need to look at the bottom of the case. If he is really hiding here, he will not learn to hide his presence. It is better to ask for advice on the Six Meridians Divine Sword.
The case in front is tall, and the bottom is the most suitable place for hiding people, but there is no need to look at it. Ming Chongyan will never have the courage to hide there.
leftover....
Looking at the incense burner in the corner, and thinking about Ming Chongyan's size, Li Xian was almost certain that this guy was behind the incense burner.
Originally, this incense burner should be placed in the center of the main hall, because he didn't like incense very much, and there were no officials or other officials in Mingde Hall to come and play, so he simply ordered it to be moved to the side, almost leaning against the wall.
The incense burner is not particularly big, but Ming Chongyan is thin and sitting against the wall with his knees in his arms, so he can still use it to cover his figure.
The most important thing is that the position of the incense burner looks like it is close to the wall. If I hadn't witnessed the eunuch carrying the incense burner with my own eyes, I might not have paid attention to it.
With strong self-confidence, Li Xian walked towards the incense burner.
With a joking smile on his face, he walked to the side of the incense burner, but...
No!
This shouldn't be the case!
He was full of confidence but failed, which shocked Li Xian very much. What made him most speechless was that he clearly heard the sound of teapots and teacups clashing in the main hall. Without turning around, he knew that Ming Chongyan must be sitting behind his little case at this time, giving a very elegant look. Pour yourself some tea.
He breathed a long sigh of relief, turned around, and with the last glimmer of hope, Li Xian asked: "Ming Changshi, if Gu guessed correctly, you were actually hiding behind the pillar, and when Gu checked on one side, you turned around. Hiding on the other side, right?”
Just this sentence made Ming Chongyan's pretentious temperament instantly shattered. He looked at Li Xian in surprise and asked doubtfully: "How did His Highness the Crown Prince guess it?"
Sighing, Li Xian said helplessly: "Actually, Gu also knows this. It's just that your actions are a bit too complicated. Presumably, this is what Ming Changshi wants to teach Gu to adapt to local conditions."
There is no way to say that if someone wins using the most common trick used by children to play hide-and-seek, there is no need to feel sorry or be harsh or anything like that, just admit defeat.
Li Xian casually handed over his hand and said: "Gu lost. It seems that Gu is still self-righteous. I hope Ming Changshi will not hesitate to teach me."
Ming Chongyan didn't expect the prince to admit defeat so simply and even saluted.
Although the prince's hand was just a casual one, he couldn't do it casually. He quickly stood up and said, "Don't worry, your highness, I will definitely know everything."
As soon as he said these words, Ming Chongyan regretted them.
Know everything? So what's the point of keeping it to yourself?
If he hadn't said this, he would still have reservations, but now that he has said these words, if he still retains them, once exposed, his face will be lost!
Although he was upset, he still chose to be honest: "Your Highness, in fact, Weichen has hidden it from you..."
Listening to Ming Chongyan's apology, Li Xian secretly laughed to death.
He just saluted deliberately, and what he wanted was to fish out the words. Although Li Yun knew it, but since even he knew that Taoists had two brushes for concealment, he must learn from the best.
After coughing lightly, Li Xian said with a smile: "Ming Changshi, you don't have to blame yourself. After all, you are alone in exploring your abilities, so you should hide something. However, since you said there is still one thing missing, why don't we start learning now?" ,how?"
Seeing that the prince didn't look angry at all, although Ming Chongyan was helpless, he still agreed.
Therefore, Li Xian added another aspect of hiding in his martial arts practice every morning.
If you only understand it from a literal perspective, hiding and hiding is no different from peek-a-boo. However, even later generations of special ice will have to study this subject. How can it be that simple?
Although it is still only the Tang Dynasty, over thousands of years, more than tens of thousands of scouts have died on the battlefield, so they have naturally accumulated enough experience.
Yes, the art of concealment is the method of hiding a scout from the battlefield. As a profession with an army mortality rate no less than that of organizations such as storm battalions and death squads, if a scout wants to survive, he needs to put enough effort into hiding. The knowledge involved is far beyond what can be summarized in one or two sentences.
Li Xian's life is still very busy, practicing martial arts in the morning, arranging disaster relief matters in the afternoon, spending time with his wife in the evening, and occasionally getting up early to attend court meetings.
However, compared with the busy Li Xian, Zheng Wen is much more leisurely.
After the gathering of the five surnames and Qi Wang, he collapsed on the bed because of his rage. However, just the next day, the three elders of the Zheng family rushed to Chang'an and stood in front of his bed with expressionless expressions on their faces. He announced the Zheng Family Council's decision with an expression on his face.
"From now on, Zheng Wen will be removed from his position as clan leader and head of the clan. Because of his quarrel with the prince, which resulted in the successive losses of the family's power, he will be specially punished to receive the first-class family law for thirty years and return to the clan's territory to live in isolation for three years!"
"From now on, the responsibilities of the clan leader and head of the family will be taken over by Zheng Shuo!"
First-class family law?
Zheng Wen's eldest son Zheng Hao, who was staying in front of the hospital bed to show his filial piety, knelt down on the ground and cried bitterly: "Elder of the clan, my father is seriously ill now. Even if he wants to receive the family law, should he wait until he gets better?" Wait until the family law turns 30? Even the juniors can’t afford it!”
The family law of ordinary people is just something like a jujube stick, but the Zheng family is different. In addition to the family law on the surface, there are also higher-level family laws hidden.
As for the first-class family method, to put it bluntly, it is no different from an iron rod. Moreover, as long as it is a family law, the person who carries out the execution is required to use all his strength. Being hit with an iron rod thirty times is no different from being executed.
The new head of the family, Zheng Shuo, walked out expressionlessly, glanced at Zheng Hao who was crying bitterly, and sighed: "It's okay, considering that Zheng Wen has been in office for many years, it's just that he is not safe in the late festival, and you are so filial. Come on, let’s wait until he recovers from his illness before practicing family law.”
After recovering from the disease, even if he accepted the thirty-first-class family law, he would still be almost dead or disabled.
Thinking that he had worked hard for decades, only to end up like this, Zheng Wen on the hospital bed didn't know where he got the strength to straighten his upper body without using his hands to support him.
Pointing at the sighing Zheng Shuo, Zheng Wen laughed loudly and said: "Zheng Shuo, I don't need your fake mercy, it's just thirty family laws, that's all. I'll take it now, come on! Come on! Come on!!! "
There were three sounds in a row, each one louder than the last. After the third sound, Zheng Wen's eyes were about to burst, blood was bleeding from the corners of his mouth, and he became motionless.
Seeing Zheng Wen looking like a glaring King Kong, Zheng Shuo didn't know what to do for a while.
However, as time passed by, Zheng Wen remained the same. Zheng Hao tentatively touched his father, only to find that his father had no reaction at all.
it turns out....
That’s it!
