Chapter 048 Reading Seeds
Xu Fengyen originally wanted to leave, bypassing the Huanghua Pass into Liangzhou, but Li Maozhen where willing to let him go, stalking to turn into the guerrilla general’s mansion, even Liu Gongren a few did not escape, the mansion feast, Li Maozhen shouted on the first eldest son Li Houshi, the old lieutenant did not dare to how to drink the new king of Liangzhou, but Liu Gongren on the nonchalant, coupled with the Li Maozhen this kind of official soaked in wine tanks out of the old drunkenness, drink, persuade and avoid wine are pure and simple. persuade to drink to avoid wine are pure fire, tundansi several young junyan at first also want to try to stay sober in front of the young king, the result is very quickly drink down, Liu Gongren drunk after hitting the bowl and sing, is Yu Luan knife of the “Liangzhou horse”, a wine banquet as much as a happy ending. Xu Fenian sincerely praised that Li Jingfu could be considered a rare scholarly seed in Northern Liang.
Li Houshi looks like his father Li Maozhen, but the official look is not heavy, in the dusk, this according to the water room secret file records as a full eight years of locking the yin flint flint captain of the Huanghuaguan cavalry lieutenant, and Xu Fenian together in the cold street, the two figures gradually lengthened. The young man Li Jingfu saw that the king of Beiliang and his father did not mean to reprimand him for not knowing the rules, so he tiptoed behind the four, looking enviously at the sword-carrying Lu Yunchang and the box-carrying Wang Sheng. Li Houshi hesitated for a moment and said softly, “Your Highness, my father does have a selfish intention, thinking of letting me take over Huanghuaguan, and my father has always said that even if I can inherit that guerrilla general’s honorary position, it’s not much fun. I hope Your Highness will not mind.”
Speaking here, the inarticulate Li Houshi blushed and smiled, supposedly not knowing how to proceed with the following.
Xu Fengnian smiled blandly, “Your father’s official addiction is not small, this banquet is also paving the way for you, so that you can leave an impression on the Qingliangshan Royal House side, and it will always be easier for you to get promoted in the future, but you are still underestimating your father too much. Your father before entering the city, and I made a bet, if I have seen you, think you can take up the responsibility of guarding the Huanghua Pass, then you have to allow him to go to the vanguard of the two battalions in any one of the old pawns. To put it this way, your future Weak Water Colonel is something your father traded his life for today.”
Li Houshi reddened his face, after holding back for half a day he finally stifled a sentence, “Your Highness, don’t listen to my father, the old man is old, riding a horse in ordinary civilian clothes is not bad, if he is wearing armor and holding a spear, he can’t even hold out for an incense burner.”
Xu Fengnian nodded.
Li Houshi continued, “Your Highness, our Li family is still quite strong, I also have two younger brothers who are in the military, the family business of Huanghuaguan, there is no shortage of people to inherit, my father’s wish, it should have been me to this firstborn son to help him fulfill.”
Xu Fengyen did not comment, turned his head, saw Lu Yunchang is hugging the shoulder of that Confucian shirt teenager whispering, most likely Lu Yunchang this little slick is there again to show off his old worldly feelings. Li Jingfu managed to wait for that feudal king to turn his head, his body was short, broke away from Lu Yunchang’s hooked shoulders, and boldly walked up a few steps, was about to open his mouth to speak when he was glared at by Li Houshi, “Don’t get carried away, go back to reading your books.”
The teenager’s voice trembled slightly, said aloud: “My generation of readers, rather than the text of history, not as good as the head of the country’s door!”
When he said this, the already cold street became more and more silent, Li Houshi was a big old man who was used to touching the bow and spear but seldom touched the pencil, Wang Sheng and Lu Yunchang were even more unhelpful, they only felt that this peer was talking in vain.
Xu Fengyen raised his hand, signaling Li Houshi to keep quiet, and said with a smile, “Kid is not very old, but his mouth is not small, I once met Huang Longshi, Cao Changqing and Xuanyuan Jingcheng, these three are all Confucian saints in the Land Immortals.”
Hearing this, in just one sentence, three thunderous names appeared, the teenager Li Jingfu’s pair of eyes glittered, gazing at the great hero of his heart who was close at hand, thinking that he was worthy of being the king of Beilang who had traveled 10,000 miles and had seen more of the world than anyone else!
Xu Fengyen continued, “But none of them are like you who wants to swallow mountains and rivers with a single mouthful.”
Li Houshi couldn’t help but laugh softly, but when he saw his youngest son’s pale face, he sighed quietly again.
Xu Fengyen seemed to be muttering to himself, “The literati’s fame goes down in history, the military minister’s head hangs over the country’s door, there’s no delay in each other, if the former can write more good words about the latter when he closes his door and writes a brocade article, it would be very good.”
Xu Fengnian looked at Li Jingfu and said, “I’m not laughing at your lack of self-importance, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, I was practicing my sword back then, and I also harbored a big ambition, and no one looked at me favorably at that moment. If you move your mind and start thinking, then your intention will be born. The reason why I told you this is that I think you are still too young, even if you join the army, to go to the sands of the border is just a drag on others. Besides, Beiliang has 300,000 iron cavalry, where is your turn as a young scholar to lose your head, read your books well.”
After saying that, Xu Fengyen asked Li Houshi not to send him off again, and led his two disciples straight out of Huanghua Pass.
Li Jingfu came back to his senses after a long time, pinched his cheek hard and giggled, “The cool king talked to me?”
With this young son always feel that the older the child is, the less he can talk, Li Houshi laughed in a low voice: “Silly boy.”
Li Jingfu happily walked towards the guerrilla general’s mansion, Li Houshi silently followed behind, looking at his son’s still slightly slender frame with some pride.
Li Jingfu suddenly turned his head and asked, “Father, do you want to go to the Jade Bird Restaurant for a drink?”
Li Houshi froze and said, “Drinking is still a catty or two.”
Li Jingfu grinned, “Then I’ll treat you to a drink.”
Li Houshi was confused.
Li Jingfu blinked, walked to Li Houshi’s side, and quietly said, “When I went out of the city to walk in the spring this year, I met a girl whose father is the manager of the Jade Bird Restaurant. Every time I am tired of reading, I will go there just to look at her a few times, not wanting to think of anything else, I feel refreshed.”
Li Houshi laughed out loud.
The corners of Li Jingfu’s mouth curled up slightly, and he deliberately said bitterly, “But that girl is in love with a city ranger who is not in Guannei nowadays.”
Li Houshi touched his young son’s head, not knowing how to persuade and comfort him.
Li Jingfu raised his head and smiled, “Father, I want to learn from Zhao Changling and Li Yishan, the two former military advisors of Northern Liang, and when I am successful, I will give the King of Liang advice and strategize thousands of miles away.”
Li Houshi gave a hmmm.
Together, father and son walked towards the restaurant two streets away, Li Houshi said softly, “Since you have a favorite girl in your heart and an ambition, your grandfather won’t let you drink, father allows you to drink.”
One hour later, Huanghua Pass lieutenant Li Houshi carried his drunken young son out of the restaurant, and the rough man’s face was full of warmth.
Walking, the lieutenant’s eyes gradually resolute up, reading seeds should read, but there is one thing that the feudal king said to his heart, Beiliang 300,000 iron cavalry, only even he Li Houshi, including everyone’s head off, before the turn of the people.
You are not the North Mang claimed a million control of the string of the soldiers?
Even if you take down Beiliang, how many tens of thousands will be left?
Back on the back of the teenager drunken words murmured: “Father, I want to be very attentive to study, read a Confucian saint, not afraid of their own goat path, but for the world to pave a sunny road.”
Li Houshi laughed and said cheerfully, “Saying drunken words also this kind of axiomatic, is indeed stronger than father.”
