Chapter 442: Tang Chenggong Gives Horses and Horses
Huang didn't speak, but Lu Di thought about it with a look on his face when he heard this, could it be that the famous virtuous gentleman of Chu State really had such a simple mind and took revenge?
Wrong!
There must be Xiong Zhen who discovered that the future war is a war of mutual annexation between major powers rather than a war for hegemony, so it will be a disaster to leave these small countries sooner or later, so it is better to wait until the right time to clear them, only in this way can the strength of the Chu State be clenched into a fist and attack at any time.

When Lu Di thought of this, his mood became heavier and heavier, the times were different, and he almost fell into the thinking of fighting for hegemony.
Seeing that his son-in-law seemed to understand what he meant, he stopped saying anything, and continued to drink and eat food slowly.
Not to mention, Tang Guozi's chef did a good job of bamboo bucket rice!
Provoke the yellow bar, chirp and chirp, and said secretly in his heart.
For the Tang State is about to be destroyed, with the current power of Lu Di, he can't intervene to save the Tang State at all, he can only comfort Tang Guozi with his life, and said that if he doesn't want to stay in Chu State, he can go to Qi State, and Qi State will give him a place to live.
When Tang Guozi heard this, he ran to the inner hall, holding the tablet of his ancestor's mansion, crying even more hysterically.
Lu Di didn't say anything, he and Zhen Huang glanced at each other, then stood up, bowed to Tang Guozi, and withdrew.
Walking outside the adobe city wall, the howl of Tang Guozi in the bamboo and wooden house shook the four fields.
Lu Di sighed and turned to leave.
The next day, the morning sun was like a basin.
Tang Guozi gave Lu Di many gifts, as the cost of the fare, Lu Di resolutely did not accept, Tang Guozi knew that Lu Di was worried that he would use a lot of money in the next place, so he did not accept it, he was extremely moved in his heart, so he chose two of the most valuable gifts, one was the jade of Jingshan and gave it to Gongsun Qu.
Lu Qu was young and saw that someone gave him a beautiful thing, of course he was happy, and when Lu Di reacted, Lu Qu was already hanging around his neck.
The other was, oh, a horse to be exact, and I heard only the hoofs of the horses waving and neighing, and a horse six feet high, with blue eyes and green manes, and red hair, and four hooves standing, like a big horse stepping on old snow.
Lu Di was taken aback, and said secretly: Good horse!
Everyone's eyes were straight when they looked at the horse, and Lu Qu shouted even more when he saw it.
Tang Guozi saw Lu Di, who had read countless horses, his eyes were full of fire, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, how about Qin Guo, who was good at raising horses, and what about Yiqu, who made a living from herding?
They can't raise a good horse like a widow!
Tang Guozi stepped forward and said: "Childe, this horse is called Qiangqi, it is the widow's most beloved thing, it was..." Speaking of this, Tang Guozi paused, and then said: "Since Childe doesn't want money, then please accept this horse, and the widow's heart is better." β
At this time, Lu Di woke up from the shock of being a good horse, and when he heard Tang Guozi actually say that the horse was named Qiqi, his eyes opened, and he finally knew the identity recorded in the historical documents of Tang Guozi.
He is the Tang Chenggong, the son of the Tang Kingdom who was said to have two peerless horses and a cloud of good horses in "Zuo Biography"!
And Tang Guozi was about to say something, presumably he originally planned to use these two peerless horses to dedicate to King Chu Zhao in exchange for the continued existence of the Tang Kingdom, but Tang Guozi would never have thought that he would be imprisoned for three years when he went to Yingdu, and it was not as good as death, and in the end, the Tang Kingdom was destroyed.
Lu Di remembered about such a thing in later literature, he didn't want such a good horse to be ridden by King Chu Zhao, not to mention that Tang Guozi also kept one for King Chu Zhao.
"The kindness given by the prince today, Tu Di can't repay it, if there is an order in the future, Lu Di will definitely do his best to help" If Lu Di twisted it, he seemed to be hypocritical, so he accepted it sincerely with his obedience.
Tang Guozi was overjoyed when he heard this, what he wanted was Lu Di's words.
Lu Di took the reins of the horse from the groom, and then jumped on the horse's back, and the horse neighed on the spot and jumped up with its forelimbs, like Guan Yunchang's red rabbit horse with a rapid horizontal knife, and the momentum was like anger.
When Lu Qu saw his father's appearance, he stared at the boss with small eyes, and then jumped and cheered: "Father, domineering, mighty!" β
Lu Di heard his son boasting about himself, and he rode on the horse for a while on the spot, and after jumping off the horse, he was very excited, what a thousand miles away!
Tang Guozi was extremely proud, as if a child heard the praise of his elders.
"Meng Tan, bring pen and ink" Lu Di suddenly felt something.
Tang Guozi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he secretly said in his heart, when Gongzi was in Qiguo, he wrote for Gongzi Cheng of Qiguo: A century-old peerless son, he is unparalleled. The country has a national weapon, the sycamore, how can it not attract the phoenix?
Only these short twenty-five words have made Gongzi famous all over the world, and many virtuous people have traveled thousands of miles to visit.
If Gongzi Tu also wrote a few words to himself now, no matter whether the Tang Kingdom was destroyed or not in the future, his reputation would be rumored all over the world, and he could even make the King of Chu jealous of him.
Thinking of this, Tang Guozi looked at Lu Di expectantly.
At this time, Lu Di picked up the brush and walked to the gate of the city, splashing ink.
The people of Tang Guoshi gathered around one after another, including Tang Guozi, only to see that what was written on it turned out to be the text of Chu State, which made them surprised that they could stuff an egg in their mouths.
Obviously, they didn't expect that the prince of Qi would actually understand the script of Chu State.
The Chu script is the earliest foreign script that LΓΌ Tuxue learned.
I still remember that it was during the first battle of Chu, in order to write a love letter to Yayu, the lord of Xiaoyi State, Lu Di temporarily followed Wu Zixu to learn, although the Chu script written that time was crooked and very ugly.
The Chu script is difficult to learn and write, because its strokes are a bit like insects and birds, and when a word is written, it looks like a paper-cut painting from a distance.
However, Lu Di has not given up insisting on learning Chu script for so many years, especially after the famous scholar of Chu followed him.
Therefore, his current Chu script is very beautiful and skillful.
At that moment, some Tang Guoshi looked at what Lu Di wrote and read word by word: "The descendants of Shu Yu, the younger brother of Jin Hou." Virtuous and virtuous, scholars love. If you are like this, the world will appreciate it".
After Lu Di finished writing, she put her own stamp on the door.
Although these sentences are sycophant, they are not too hypocritical, like the first two sentences, a question about the origin of Tang Chenggong (Tang Guozi), Lu Di is not exaggerated; Although the second sentence in the literature does not evaluate Tang Chenggong's coffin as virtuous, it is not bad, not to mention that the scholars of the Tang Kingdom really like their lord.
As for the last sentence, the reason why Lu Di said this is because Lu Di wanted to save Tang Guozi's life at a critical time.
Tang Guozi naturally understood Lu Di's intentions, and bowed to Lu Di without saying a word.
Lu Di returned the salute, and then took Lu Qu into the military vehicle and left.
