At the end of the day, Li Chengqian and the other two were still children. They felt that the Headmaster had been bullied and came out to fight for the Headmaster.
But they had never thought about why Duan Peng's words respected these generals.
But it didn't matter. Now, Duan Peng made up for this lesson for them.
"For a dynasty to be strong, not only do civil officials need to manage government affairs well, but they also need generals to be safe.”Duan Peng smiled and said," It's just like how you know how to cook the best delicacies in the world, but every time after you cook them, they are snatched away and enjoyed by others. Presumably, with the three princes 'intelligence, they are definitely unwilling." Therefore, if you want to protect your delicacies, you need to have enough strength. It's the same for the dynasty. What do the three of you think?”
Different from the way of governing the world and helping the country that Kong Yingda and the other great Confucians of the present age talked about, Duan Peng's metaphor was a little vulgar, but it was the most direct. The three princes also kept nodding their heads. Even the King of Wei, Li Tai, who hated Duan Peng the most, had no choice but to agree with Duan Peng's point of view.
"As for the misunderstanding between me and Lord Kong, we have already cleared it up. The Crown Prince and the two princes don't need to worry about it.”Duan Peng suddenly lowered his voice and said to the three princes in a low voice,""And I don't believe that you didn't feel a chill in your hearts when you heard Old Man Kong being insulted.”
Hearing Duan Peng's words, the three princes all smiled embarrassedly. Telling the truth felt very good.
After all, that old fellow who had always regarded himself as a Confucian grandmaster and liked to criticize others for hitting their palms was really unlikeable.
"I won't hide it from General Duan. Actually, we just wanted to come out to play and find an excuse.”Li Ke pointed at Li Tai and said with a smile," It was all this fatty's idea. He said that you were a great hero and wanted to meet you to see if you had three heads and six arms. Otherwise, how could you have such a powerful battle record? Even Father praised you when he mentioned you."”
The King of Wei, Li Tai, blushed and glared at Li Ke with dissatisfaction. He liked Duan Peng very much, and the reason why he questioned him was to see Duan Peng's reaction.
Duan Peng was also a little surprised, but he immediately understood. In terms of intelligence, Li Tai was definitely the highest among Li Shiming's sons. He studied hard and was willing to use his brain. He was smart and knowledgeable. This was also why Li Shiming liked Li Tai so much later. He even thought of making Li Tai the crown prince.
"Alright, since we've already spoken, there's no need to hide anything.”Li Chengqian looked at his two younger brothers and said with a smile,"The three of us brothers will try out the training setup of the Embroidered Guard Camp today and see if we can do it.”
The guards behind him were so scared that they almost vomited blood. They were responsible for the safety of the three nobles. If the three ancestors were hurt, they would die a hundred times.
However, these three princes were steeled and wouldn't listen to anyone. Duan Peng could only agree and vacate a set of settings for the three of them to use.
Li Chengqian immediately had a slim figure. Although there were occasional bumps, he still passed.
Poor Li Tai. He had fallen seven or eight times on the balance beam and couldn't even walk three steps. He was covered in mud and blood.
Duan Peng had no choice but to persuade Li Tai to give up. Li Tai himself knew that he wasn't good at this, so he honestly agreed. He sat beside Duan Peng and watched Li Chengqian and Li Ke continue training.
Although Li Chengqian and Li Ke were princes, Li Shimin was the emperor. He encouraged his children to practice martial arts and build up their bodies, except for Li Tai, who was born with poor health.
Therefore, the two of them had a good foundation. However, they had never seen such a training setting before. It was still difficult for them to use it for the first time and they suffered a lot of injuries. However, their two small faces were unwilling to admit defeat. They tried it again and again, but they did not seem to give up at all.
"Tai really envies them for being able to move freely like this, but I…" Li Tai said in disappointment.
"There's nothing in this world that can't be done.”" You can't do it because you gave up before you succeeded," Duan Peng said coolly." Of course you can't see success." Your Highness, everything depends on you.”
Li Tai's body trembled. He looked at Duan Peng with anger and unwillingness in his eyes, but in the end, he still obediently lowered his head.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about.”Duan Peng looked at Li Tai and said with a smile," People can only improve better if they know their own shortcomings. This is also the reason why His Majesty wants Wei Zheng to stay." I won't interfere with your decision. After all, you're smart enough to know what to do.”
Li Tai didn't speak from the beginning to the end, but his eyes became firm. Duan Peng knew that his words had worked, so he didn't say anything more.
After struggling for two hours, Li Chengqian and Li Ke still couldn't figure it out. Later, it was Li Chengqian's eldest cousin, Zhangsun Chong, who demonstrated and explained the essentials of the movements. Only then did the two gradually become smooth.
"Cousin, you're really amazing, you actually know so much.”Li Chengqian was a child after all. Looking at Zhangsun Chong's suave and vigorous figure, he immediately admired him and asked,"Did General Duan come up with all this?”
"Of course." Zhangsun Chong said with a tinge of pride,"Our boss is the commander of the Embroidered Guard Camp. The fierceness of the Embroidered Guard Camp is all thanks to our boss.”
Li Chengqian and Li Ke looked at Duan Peng, who was chatting with Li Tai on the sidelines, with admiration in their eyes.
When the sky was about to turn dark, Li Chengqian brought his two younger brothers back to the palace.
Although they were dirty and had many small injuries, Li Chengqian and Li Ke were both more excited than the other. They agreed to come to the Embroidered Guard Camp again next time.
However, Li Tai didn't say a word. He was very depressed along the way, completely different from his usual show-off personality.
Li Chengqian and Li Ke asked several times, but Li Tai remained silent. The two of them had no choice.
After Li Tai returned to the palace, he went straight to Li Shiming and said something. Li Shiming smiled and nodded in agreement. Li Tai then moved his fat and comical body and left.
The next day, not long after the sun rose, the Embroidered Guard Battalion began their training. The orderly slogans and the arduous but unstoppable training became the eternal melody of the defense headquarters.
Suddenly, at the entrance of the Embroidered Guard Camp, a fat child in a security uniform shouted at the entrance of the Embroidered Guard Camp with a solemn expression,"Embroidered Guard Camp recruit Li Tai reporting!”
