Chapter Seventy-Nine
Later, the emperor's younger brother Li Mingcong and King Xiang, who was Li Juan's biological father, heard about this and hurried back to the palace and went to the Holy One in person. The next day, the Holy One invited the wandering immortal to the palace, and the Emperor again
Fifty thousand troops were allocated to the Li family.
From then on, the 50,000-strong army was owned by the Li family alone, with absolute control rights, and the money was provided by the national treasury.
This is undoubtedly another manifestation of His Majesty's love for his nephew.
Generally speaking, princes, grandsons, and nobles can maintain several hundred to several thousand domestic slaves or bodyguards, even though there are explicit provisions.
Excessive presence is tantamount to rebellion, but no one is allowed to privately own his own army.
As for His Royal Highness, if the Emperor does not grant military power, His Highness will not have an army of his own. Only the Imperial Guards dispatched by the Emperor to the East Palace can be dispatched by the Prince, but they are ultimately subordinate to the imperial court.
Like the Qin family, Qin Fengxi has his own secret guards. Although each secret guard can fight one against a hundred, the number will never exceed two thousand.
That's the rule.
As for Li Juan, there are no rules at all. He can have his own army, which he usually uses for searching for medicine. He is rarely used at other times. He is not needed for border defense, and no one dares to provoke him in the whole Jinkang.
.
He can take bribes, and even buy and sell official positions if he is willing. As long as someone pays and he is willing, officials below the sixth rank can buy and sell at will with the approval of the Holy Spirit. The so-called rules do not exist here at all.
Some people say that the king of Shengqian was so rich that he could rival the country. He had countless gold mountains and jewels that were inexhaustible. No one knows how.
Therefore, the Li family can be regarded as a truly powerful and unscrupulous nobleman of Tianhuang. The most important thing is that the emperor never scolded him. Regardless of whether the Li family is justified or not, as long as the Taoist saint says that the Li family is justified.
When I was young, there were still some princes who dared to conflict with the Li family members. If the Holy One found out about it, no matter who they were, they would be punished and reprimanded, whether they were right or wrong.
Over time, everyone knew that any prince or grandson could be offended, and even the crown prince could be offended, but only King Shengqian could not do anything about it.
His Royal Highness Taisun is sitting in the pavilion, and everything is going well. The entire pavilion is said to be for painting, but currently only Qin Shouqing's look looks different.
Cheng Nuobai, Pei Kai, and Tang Xingzhou are the leaders of the younger generation. After one activity, they managed to produce a few works without making a joke, so Taisun organized everyone to start painting again.
Naturally, the three mentioned above cannot be absent. Now there are three parties in the Four Parties. Everyone is recommending who should be the fourth party.
Of course, Li Zhen recommended Lu Citron first. After all, he is the protagonist, and everyone is just a companion.
"I have long heard that the sixth prince, Musa Geler, is both civilized and military. Although he is from the Udi country, he has a profound study of Han culture and is good at poetry, calligraphy and painting. I wonder if the sixth prince is interested in leaving a calligraphy treasure today?"
However, Lu Citron glanced over here and glanced at Jiang Wu from the corner of his eyes. She didn't even look at him. She was looking at Cheng Nuobai from beginning to end.
He poured himself a glass and drank it.
"I, Wu Di, are both horsemen. I only know how to wield swords and spears, and mount horses to kill enemies. I am not good at writing or writing."
Li Zhen only thought he was being humble.
However, the Wudi people and the Central Plains people are indeed different.
The Wudi people are a nomadic people on the grasslands, they are strong and strong, most people only know how to herd horses and sheep, and few people like the culture of the Central Plains.
They are bold, rough, and fierce. They think that a horse is a hero if it can run fast; if an arrow can shoot far and accurately, and it can hunt, it is a hero; prairie people like knives. In addition to cutting meat for eating, the biggest function of knives is to
When it comes to killing an enemy, being able to kill with one strike means being strong. What matters is absolute strength.
People from the Central Plains, on the other hand, like swords and pay attention to the beauty of postures. They pay attention to the harmony of essence and energy, to be in harmony with the gods, to be in harmony with the Tao, and to cultivate themselves and their families. Literary families pay more attention to the six arts of the gentleman and the education of social ethics.
, advocating the beauty of harmony, being subtle and elegant, advocating elegance, uprightness, and paying attention to character and mind.
Wu Diguo really didn't like the so-called etiquette and upbringing of the Central Plains people, and he was not good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
But Lu Xiangton was different. Because his mother was from the Central Plains, he knew everything about the Central Plains. Even these things were once made fun of and insulted by everyone in the Wudi Kingdom.
No one knows under what circumstances and circumstances he learned this.
He grinned contemptuously, then turned his head to look at the lake, just drinking his own wine without asking anything about it.
If Lu Citron doesn't want to, Li Zhen will naturally not force it. Now that the two countries have good relations, how can Li Zhen care about these small things?
Several young men wanted to paint, so Li Zhen asked the girls to eat some fruits at the table next to them so that they could enjoy the paintings later.
Li Zhen didn't take Lu Citron's rejection seriously, but girls were different and naturally loved to talk.
Feng Xiangyuan murmured in a low voice: "I didn't expect that this sixth prince would be so arrogant and rude, and he would not even give His Highness the face of the great grandson. He is just a ruthless grassland man who doesn't understand etiquette."
Feng Xiangyuan had long respected his Taisun in everything and favored him in everything, and now he was even more grievances for his Taisun.
Another girl answered bluntly: "What do you know, I think this sixth prince is very charming and has a unique personality. You didn't see it just now, but that smile made me drunk. People from Wu Di country are free and straightforward.
It is not surprising that he has a bold personality and is not particular about it. The most important thing is that his face has sharp angles. It is a bit tougher than us Central Plains people, but a bit more elegant and handsome than the pure Wudi people. This is perfect.
Together, we are also a prince, so you should not be more arrogant when meeting anyone, but you only have His Highness in your eyes, and others are nothing."
Feng Xiang saw that it was Zhuge Yingying who was quarreling with her, and immediately lost his temper. He said angrily, not bothering to argue with Lu Fu, and walked towards the table of His Highness Taisun and the others.
As expected, she is a delicate girl who bullies the weak and fears the strong.
Jiang Wen looked at this girl. She was knowledgeable and she was too bold to speak out. She didn't dare to spit out these words in her mouth.
Feng Xiangyuan is indeed suspected of flattering His Royal Highness, no, now he is showing courtesy in front of Li Zhen again.
Listening to the discussion in her ears, Jiang Wu glanced at him. Although she could only see the back of his head, was she the only one who felt the loneliness, bitterness and loneliness in his eyes just now?
Feng Xiangyuan didn't want to argue with this girl, but Jiang Wen liked her very much.
It turns out that she is Zhuge Yingying, the granddaughter of Zhuge Tong of Tongtian Camp, one of Qin Fengxi's three camps.
It is said that this girl was born with supernatural powers. She was extremely powerful and daring enough to break a wall into a skull with one punch.
It is rumored that this girl is now sixteen, but no man from her family dares to come to propose marriage. General Zhuge even coerced and lured his subordinates, hoping that someone would marry his granddaughter.
Zhuge Yingying's skin is a little darker, but her eyes are bright, moist and bright. Her figure is slightly stronger than that of an ordinary girl, and you can tell at a glance that she is the result of long-term exercise.
As for today's aesthetics, most people prefer those with a slender waist and slim body. In addition, Zhuge Yingying was born with supernatural power, and ordinary men may not be able to enjoy it, so no one cares about Zhuge Yingying.
