"This lowly one is under the orders of the Great General to invite Lieutenant Xue to the residence.”
In the right military camp, the steward of the general's manor took out Li Jing's handwritten letter and handed it to Cheng Yaojin.
"Report, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace has sent someone to see the General.”
Cheng Yaojin frowned and looked up at the sky."No wonder the magpies have been chirping in the sky above my Right Guard camp. The Right Guards are really lively today.”
"Invite the Crown Prince's men into the camp."
The East Palace steward entered and handed a letter to Cheng Yaojin.""General Cheng, the Crown Prince has invited General Xue to the Eastern Palace.”
Cheng Yaojin glanced at Xue Rengui, who was standing at the side, not knowing what to do.
He was well aware of the motives of Li Jing and the Crown Prince in the Eastern Palace.
"It's all allowed." Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and threw the letter to Xue Rengui.""As for where to go, Xue Rengui, it's up to you. This general still has matters to attend to, so I won't accompany you.”
Xue Rengui held the two letters in his hands. He was confused for a moment, but he also felt that it was a hot potato.
Li Jinggui was the general and the leader of the army. He had to go when the general invited him.
It was even more so for the Crown Prince, who was the future Crown Prince.
"Two stewards, this general still has some matters to explain to the Great General.”Xue Rengui asked seriously.
"Of course not," said the steward with a faint smile.”
Although the Eastern Palace steward looked impatient, he still nodded. He knew very well that his master valued this young lieutenant very much.
Xue Rengui entered, saluted, and bowed."Please enlighten me, General. Why do the Great General and the Crown Prince want to see me?”
Pa!
Cheng Yaojin threw down the book in his hand. Anyway, he was just pretending to read.
"You were also personally promoted by this general, so you can be considered to have a relationship with him. This general will give you some advice.”
"You are very outstanding. The Great General probably wants to take you as his disciple. As the Great General's disciple, if you want to rise quickly in the army or even the entire Imperial Court, don't even think about it. The Great General will firmly suppress you, just like Su Dingfang.”
"According to Su Dingfang's contribution, he is more than enough to be a general. He is still a lieutenant like you.”
"Liu Rengui of the Left Military Guard also had another chance to become the Great General's disciple, but he gave it up. I don't want to know the exact reason.”
"The benefits of joining the Crown Prince are obvious. You will be rewarded for your meritorious service and promoted very quickly. When the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, you will be a subordinate of the Dragon, the type of confidant in the Crown Prince's army.”
"This general can only give you these hints. As for how you choose, it's up to you.”
"Thank you for your advice, General." Xue Rengui bowed in gratitude.
……
At the railing of the right military camp.
Cheng Chumo and the others climbed up and looked in the direction of the commander's tent.
"Your Highness is stepping on dog poop. The King of Wei and the Crown Prince have to come over and taste it.”
"Isn't that so? I heard that His Majesty originally planned to give full authority to Your Highness in the matter of training troops.”
"Do you think Xue Rengui will go to the General's Mansion or the Crown Prince's Mansion?”
……
While everyone was discussing, Xue Rengui walked out of the commander's tent.
Xue Rengui bowed to the steward of the Eastern Palace and said apologetically,"Steward, please tell the Crown Prince that as a lieutenant in the army, the Great General has ordered me to report to the General's Estate first.”
Humph!
"You reckless thing! Xue Rengui, you will regret this!" The Eastern Palace steward angrily left behind a vicious sentence and turned to leave.
After Xue Rengui left with the manager of the Li Residence.
Cheng Yaojin walked out of the tent and said to himself,""You're still a little smart. The Dragon's Merit isn't so easy to obtain. In the future, anything can happen. Instead of trying to gain benefits, it's better to learn true skills.”
"No matter which side sings or steps onto the stage, it's still necessary to use people with true ability. The thousand-li horse promoted by Left Martial Guard Hou Junji clearly doesn't understand this…"
"Father, in a few days, your Right Guard soldiers will be trained by your son. Father doesn't want to say a few words?”Cheng Yaojin's proud sigh was suddenly interrupted by Cheng Chuliang, who was in the middle of his voice changing period.
Cheng Yaojin looked at the group of unlucky children who were climbing on the railing to watch the show. He laughed and scolded,""Get lost! Get lost, get lost! There's no Kansai girl here that you little bastards like to see.”
As he spoke, Cheng Yaojin made a gesture as if he was about to rush over and hit someone.
Cheng Chumo and the others immediately jumped off the railing and ran away, leaving behind a string of proud laughter.
"A bunch of unlucky kids…"
"What?! Xue Rengui rejected this prince?" After Li Chengqian heard the manager's report, his expression immediately became very ugly.
Then, he waved his hand and drove the steward away in frustration. He clenched his hands and said with a gloomy gaze,"I gave you face but you didn't want it. I gave you glory and wealth, but you couldn't even accept it. This kind of person isn't worthy of being loyal to me!”
"Forget it. Since you are the Great General's disciple, it's better not to have any filthy children. It's not good for you to make too many enemies now.”Zhangsun Wuji comforted him." As the Crown Prince, you have many talents that you can use. So what if Xue Rengui is talented? He's the icing on the cake. It's not a big deal without him."”
"Yes." Li Chengqian was only angry because Xue Rengui, a mere lieutenant, had rejected his good intentions.
Xue Rengui was not the only one.
Xue Rengui didn't have that kind of power.
General Manor.
"Disciple Xue Rengui greets teacher.”
"Get up."
After a simple bow, Li Jing pointed at the books beside him."These are some of my experiences in leading troops that I've written behind closed doors all these years.”
"During this period of time, you should still go to the right military guard to be on duty and learn the new training method from His Highness Ke.”
Xue Rengui hesitated for a moment and probed,""Teacher, do you have to go to His Highness Ke's training camp?”
"What, you don't want to go?"
"No, it's just that I didn't like that His Highness before and was very rude. That His Highness sent someone to pass on the message that he remembered me.”
Haha...
"Very good, very good, this is very good!" Li Jing stroked his beard and laughed heartily.
He was worried that Li Ke wouldn't notice Xue Rengui, but he was relieved.
Xue Rengui was stunned.
* Cough cough *
Perhaps he felt that he had lost his composure, Li Jing coughed a few times and said with a serious face,"It's fine. His Highness Ke is not a petty person.”
Teacher, is it really good for you to say this time and time again?
Have you touched your conscience?
Xue Rengui couldn't help but curse.
"Actually, it's very easy to build a good relationship with His Highness Ke. You just have to follow his lead. If he wants to read these books, you can let him read them.”
"I understand."
……
The teacher and students chatted for a long time. After Xue Rengui left, Li Jing's eldest disciple, Su Ding, said,""Teacher entrusted this matter to Junior Brother, but I can't accept it. Junior Brother is too kind and isn't suitable for this kind of thing.”
Li Jing's goal was very simple. He wanted to pass on his knowledge of militarism to Li Ke through Xue Rengui.
" Just try your best. If only he wasn't a prince. None of you can compare to his agility. What a pity…" Li Jing was helpless.
