As Pei Xingjian thanked him, the jealous glances directed at him began to dissipate and turned into congratulatory voices.
Although they were jealous, everyone knew that Pei Xingjian deserved this.
Only Cheng Wuting was helpless.
If he could capture the white tiger alive, he would definitely kill Pei Xingjian.
Just thinking about the injured general made him no longer envious. Although the white tiger can get a heavier reward, compared to the life of the general, the general is more important. When you are the head of a family, you must never let those who follow you feel that your master is a cold-blooded person.
As Pei Xingjian retreated, Ashina Tag finally got the chance and stood up.
"Dear Majesty the Heavenly Khan, I, Ashina Tag, offer you five leopards with intact fur."
As he finished speaking, a large cart rolled over. On the cart were five leopards with intact fur and arrows in their eyes.
If there were not the prince's bear, Cheng Wuting's white tiger, and Pei Xingjian's white deer, Li Zhi might have been surprised.
But compared to the above three, these five leopards are just that.
Nodding indifferently, Li Zhi said: "I know the envoy's intention. Come, convey my will and give the envoy fifty pieces of brocade!"
After receiving the reward, Ashinatag withdrew with a smile.
He knew deeply that it was impossible for him to stand out in front of the people of Tang Dynasty, but he had to stand out among the envoys no matter what. Especially the Tubo people....
For this country that relied on the Tang Dynasty to develop and has now become another overlord, Ashina Tag really has no good impressions.
After Ashenatage retreated, Su Qingjie, who had been one step ahead, stood up and offered the three leopards he had hunted.
After all, the prairie people relied on riding and shooting to make a living. Except for Pei Xingjian and Cheng Wuting who found other ways to defeat them, only Li Xian truly defeated them.
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the hunting results achieved by the generals of the Tang Dynasty this time can be said to have retreated a lot.
There was nothing interesting to watch in the gift-giving scene that followed. Apart from the mechanical announcement of rewards, Li Zhi found it very boring.
Then he announced the opening of rewards. He turned slightly and said to Li Xian: "Prince, my subordinates are not all mediocre. However, this time they were almost surpassed by outsiders. Guess why?"
Li Xian replied without thinking: "Although I did not watch the whole process, according to my speculation, they must have chosen the most difficult target in order to hunt better prey. Just look at the injured generals. From their appearance, it can be seen that they have worked hard. The current result was not what they wanted."
Li Zhi nodded and said with a smile: "It's good that you think so. This is exactly what I want to tell you..."
"Publish my decree and reward thirty pieces of brocade."
After announcing the reward, Li Zhicai continued: "No matter what you do, you should be down-to-earth and not rush for success. Maybe sometimes we need to make a desperate move, but more often, we have to accumulate bit by bit, and we can't just get less. As for abandonment, only when the foundation is stable can we move towards higher goals. I have said this, and you should understand the truth."
Li Xian nodded, pretending to be thoughtful.
Li Zhi's truth is actually not difficult to understand, but regardless of whether it is a big or small truth, the most taboo thing for educated people is to show an expression of "this is too simple".
People like to be teachers. When you see your students listening obediently, your brain will secrete dopamine.
Sure enough, Li Zhi was very satisfied with Li Xian's willingness to listen carefully and understand carefully. Announcement of reward time. Just look back and you will smile.
This time for the autumn hunt, the Tang army could be said to have gone out in full force. Although most people can't match Ashina Tag's performance, it would be no problem to surpass Tubo and Ashina Buzhen.
While pretending to understand the truth, Li Xian also secretly paid attention to Ashina Buzhen's achievements.
How should I put it, although it is better than the one in Tubo, it is still at a miserable level.
Although he, like the generals of the Tang Dynasty, was obsessed with large prey, with his team having more people than Ashinatag, there was no reason for such poor results.
can only say....
This guy is so good at being a human being.
This time he placed his position so low that it could be said that he pleased all the generals of the Tang Dynasty.
For such behavior....
Li Xian couldn't help but put an emphasis on him.
Prairie people are unruly by nature, but he can be so cowardly, so we have to guard against him.
You know, the man named An who abruptly turned the Tang Dynasty's national power from prosperity to decline also had the same character in the early stage.
After the gift was over, Li Zhi, who did not participate in the hunt, got all the good things from today's hunt.
As for those who cannot make it to the stage, they will naturally be used by the person who made the gift.
The royal hunting ground has been abandoned for many years, and now hunting has resumed. The number of prey hunted is not what can be seen now. Even the sergeants on the periphery are allowed to hunt.
Although there are tens of thousands of troops, it is still no problem for everyone to eat meat from today's hunting results.
After instructing Jiang Hao to take in all the prey, dead or alive, Li Zhi stood up, turned around and asked, "I heard that you gave the imperial chef an order to prepare charcoal fire. What, are you planning to barbecue tonight?"
Hearing the saint's words, Zhou Ke, who was conducting the ceremony, couldn't help but come over. Without waiting for Li Xian's answer, he raised his hand and asked: "Your Highness, the barbecue is too simple. It should be done according to etiquette..."
Being interrupted, Li Xian was still a little unhappy. When he heard what Zhou Ke said, he said without hesitation: "Shang Shu Zhou, the so-called autumn hunting is not only a test of the sergeant's ability, but also a tribute to the ancient sages. . When our ancestors drank hair and drank blood, they were not so particular about it. Now, isn’t it a tribute to the ancestors that we are waiting for barbecue? Moreover, the method of barbecue prepared by Gu is also very different from simple fire roasting. "
Du Zhouke's words, he was naturally ready early in the morning.
These guys in the Etiquette Department are the most particular about rules. When it comes to formulating etiquette, they especially like to dig into piles of old papers and always use words like "pay tribute" as explanations.
After hearing the prince's words, Zhou Ke's originally organized words suddenly had no use. He could only cup his hands and say: "I see, I am a humble minister, Meng Lang. I will step down now."
After seeing Zhou Ke get out in despair, Li Xiancai waved to the back.
Suddenly, a large car drove over carrying iron boxes one after another.
When it comes to the most suitable food for hunting, there is no doubt that it is barbecue.
If you are just grilling meat around a fire, it will not be easy to control the heat, and it will not look good.
Therefore, before the autumn hunting, Li Xian had already prepared the barbecue grill he would use today.
