In late spring and early summer, many of the flowers have gone, but the leaves have become greener, and the mountains and fields are full of refreshing greenery, making people feel relaxed and happy at a glance.

Li Xiu and Li Shimin are wearing hunting clothes, carrying bows and arrows while walking and chatting, this is Pei Lian's courtyard in Nanshan, when Pei Lin left Beijing to return to his hometown to retire, he entrusted this courtyard to Li Xiu to take care of, usually when Li Xiu is free, he will also bring his family here to hunt, but sometimes he also thinks of Pei Lian, I don't know what happened after he went to the Americas?

"The scenery of the Pei family's courtyard is still the same, and I remember the last time I was here, the three of us met a tiger!" Li Shimin looked at the surrounding scenery as he walked, and then said to Li Xiu with a smile.

"Ahem, it was really too dangerous last time, so this time Your Majesty must not let the guards stay too far away from us!" Hearing Li Shimin mention the past, Li Xiu coughed a little weakly, because that time Li Shimin suddenly came here, it was the time when Li Xiu and Pei Lin went to see Li Yuan who escaped from the palace by fraud, at that time he almost thought that Li Shimin knew something, but he was also worried for a long time.

"Hehe, I have been fighting horses for half my life before, what kind of dangers have been encountered, the most dangerous of them is the battle of the Tiger Prison, when I met Dou Jiande's 100,000 army with 3,500 people, almost with the idea of death, one day I and Wei Chi Gong observed the enemy situation, but was discovered by Dou Jiande, sent five or six thousand people to pursue, and as a result, the two of us killed 100 people in a row, and finally led the other party into the ambush I set up in advance, and destroyed thousands of people on the other side in one fell swoop, in comparison, the danger encountered later is nothing at all." Li Shimin smiled at this time, and said that he didn't seem to take the encounter with the tiger to heart at all.

However, Li Xiu secretly pouted when he heard Li Shimin's words, Li Shimin and Wei Chigong knew about the distress in the Tiger Prison Pass, but it was not as exaggerated as Li Shimin said, they first met Dou Jiande's rangers, and they killed dozens of people, and then Dou Jiande sent thousands of troops to pursue, only then did he encounter Li Shimin's ambush, and as far as he knew, Li Shimin fled extremely embarrassed that time, not only was he injured, but Wei Chigong was also not lightly injured, and it took a long time to recover.

"Huh? There are deer! At this moment, I suddenly heard Li Shimin's shout of surprise, and then he opened his bow and shot with an arrow, and the guards behind him were also very excited, and they were even ready to run to pick up prey, after all, Li Shimin has always been good at shooting, especially when he was young, there was a two-meter-long giant sky bow in his weapons at any time, and his archery skills were outstanding, and he could almost be called an arrow.

However, it is a pity that Li Shimin may have not shot an arrow for too long, which made the archery a lot rusty, but the arrow was missed, and the frightened deer jumped up a few feet in fright, then turned around and fled, and disappeared into the dense forest in the blink of an eye, which made Li Shimin also very embarrassed.

"Ahem, everything multiplies in spring, and this doe is already pregnant with cubs, so it's really not suitable to shoot it, so I missed the arrow a few points at the last moment!" I saw that Li Shimin coughed dryly at this time, and then deliberately made a benevolent expression, and the guards behind him also showed their original expressions.

"Your Majesty is merciful, now is indeed not the time for hunting, let's climb to the top of this mountain, and we can see the academy that Cui Gan is building!" Li Xiu pouted again at this time and said, although the deer is going to change its horns in the spring, the antlers on the head of the deer just now are already quite majestic, and at a glance you know that it is a male deer, but it is said by Li Shimin that it is a doe, and ordinary people really don't have this cheek.

Hearing that Li Xiu changed the topic to the main purpose of coming here today, Li Shimin was also relieved, and hurriedly quickened his pace and said: "In that case, let's hurry up, I really want to see what the academy that the family wants to build is like!" ”

Last time, Li Xiu guessed that Cui Gan was likely to build a academy in order to compete with the imperial court for talents, and Li Shimin also attached great importance to this matter, and immediately sent someone to investigate, and the results quickly confirmed Li Xiu's conjecture, Cui Gan was indeed secretly preparing a academy, and what he built in Nanshan was not a residence at all, but a academy in preparation.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the construction of the academy this time is not Cui Gan's idea alone, but all the great families have participated, so during this time, there are many erudite scholars from the family who came to Chang'an, and there are also many children of the family, and when the construction of the academy is completed, these people are the first batch of teachers and students of the academy.

After determining that the family was going to build a academy, Li Shimin was also very interested in this matter, it happened that the place where Cui Gan built the academy and Pei Lian's courtyard were also next to each other, and from a hill on the edge of Pei Lian's courtyard, you could even see the layout of the entire academy, so Li Shimin deliberately took a day to take a look at this academy in person, and secondly, he could also come out to relax, after all, since the death of Empress Changsun, his mood has been very depressed.

The peaks of Nanshan are generally not very high, but they are very beautiful, and the mountain roads are not rugged, but they cannot be ridden, so Li Xiu and Li Shimin also walk on foot, and occasionally they can see some prey that does not have long eyes.

However, after the mistake just now, Li Shimin also became a lot more cautious, and only when he encountered a particularly sure prey would he shoot, which made Li Xiu sigh, Li Shimin was still old after all, especially after the death of Empress Changsun, his whole person became much older all of a sudden, the white hair on his temples was also clearly visible, and he looked at least fifty years old, but in fact, he was only forty years old this year, and many years of complicated government affairs have also seriously damaged Li Shimin's health.

When it was almost noon, Li Xiu and Li Shimin finally climbed to the top of the mountain, looking far away, surrounded by mountains, and in the east of this peak, there was also a mountain that was a little shorter than them, but the top of this mountain peak was relatively flat, and the area was not small, and now on the top of this mountain, there was a large-scale building under construction.

"Your Majesty, please see, there is the academy built by Cui Gan, the whole is almost completed, and now there are only some less important places under construction, it can be said that they can move in at any time, but I estimate that they are likely to build momentum for the academy first, and then recruit outstanding students from Chang'an!" Li Xiu pointed to the mountain peak in the east at this time.

"Cui Gan will choose a place, here is beautiful mountains and rivers, surrounded by mountains, it is indeed a good place to study." Li Shimin squinted his eyes and looked at the academy not far away, and only after a moment did he nod and said, but there was no worry in his words, because Li Xiu had already had a way to deal with it.
