"Li Gang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has always cherished talents. I am glad to hear that Guo Yenian, the cavalry captain, is not as weak as the crown, but he is the brave champion of Xichuan, and at the age of seventeen, he commands three thousand Xichuan tigers, and sits at the gateway of Xichuan in the Tang Dynasty, which is really a rare general. Mr. Li Gang loves talents very much, and sincerely invites Guo Xiaodu to escort him to Chang'an and enter the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Officials. The old man is a veteran of the two dynasties, and the emperor of Montai values it, and his majesty has to rely on it today, if the old man is willing to give Guo Xiaodu's passport a blow or two, it is really a promising future! ”

Guo Ye originally recited Dong Shun's words word for word, carefully recalling the mystery in these words.

If you want to say that Li Gang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Guo Ye is no stranger, and he knows some of his information in the historical books of later generations.

Li Gang is most famous not for how powerful he is, nor how knowledgeable and knowledgeable he is.

is his other identity, Prince Zhan Shi.

What did Prince Zhan do to make it? His main duty is to guide the prince to study hard and make progress every day; Teach the prince to be courteous, righteous and honest, govern the country with benevolence, and be filial piety, teach the prince to be a good man, and strive to be a good prince praised by everyone.

To put it bluntly, he is the prince's teacher.

If the crown prince ascends the throne and becomes the emperor in the future, then he will be the emperor's teacher.

In fact, this identity is enough to make Li Gang famous through the ages, and what really makes him famous is that this bad old man has been the teacher of the three princes, that is to say, the teacher of the three princes.

He once served as the crown prince Zhan Shi of the former Sui prince Yang Yong, and he was the real prince brother who was knocked out by his younger brother Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of Sui.

He once served as Li Yuan's eldest son, the former prince Li Jiancheng's crown prince Zhan Shi, but Li Jiancheng had bad luck and died in the hands of his younger brother, the little wolf dog Li Shimin, in the Xuanwumen Incident.

Now he is making a comeback for the third time, and he continues to serve as the crown prince Zhan Shi in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. This time, he served as Li Shimin's eldest son, the crown prince Zhan Shi of the crown prince Li Chengqian.

Perhaps, Li Gang, the unlucky Confucian, is a curse, and which prince makes him a teacher is definitely a bad luck for eight lifetimes.

Su Dingfang doesn't know the future of the current crown prince Li Chengqian, how can Guo Ye, a descendant, not understand?

Li Chengqian, the eldest son of Taizong, was canonized as the crown prince in the first year of Zhenguan, the year of Taizong's accession to the throne, and became the crown prince.

However, Li Chengqian still couldn't escape the spell brought by Li Gang, and was always calculated by his cunning and cunning younger brother Li Tai, the king of Wei, and competed with him for the throne.

In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, seeing that Li Tai was more and more favored by his father, His Majesty Li Er, Li Chengqian, this kid was so bold that he directly hooked up with his henchmen to rebel.

As a result, it can be imagined that he was ruthlessly suppressed by His Majesty Li Er, the father of his Heavenly Khan.

first deprived the crown prince of the throne, and then confined, and two years later, the crown prince Li Chengqian, who was supposed to inherit the great treasure, died of depression. After his death, not to mention the funeral of the crown prince, even a prince-level funeral was wooden, and he was buried with a national ceremony.

All in all, Li Chengqian also died indirectly at the hands of his younger brother.

Judging from the life trajectory and fate of the above three princes......

The three princes all worshiped Li Gang as the crown prince Zhan Shi and were introduced as the prince's teacher, and in the end, the three princes were all blessed people, who were always one step away from the imperial throne, and died directly or indirectly at the hands of their brothers.

Guo Ye thought about this kind of strange and clever things, and couldn't help sighing, this old Li Tou, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, is not an ordinary mourning star, he is simply a new generation of "prince killers"!

However, Su Dingfang's attitude just now was obviously that he did not support himself in accepting the invitation of this mourning star Lao Shangshu.

But Guo Ye is not superstitious, if it is just because of what happened to these three princes, and he misses out with this big man who is one of the six Shangshu, isn't it a pity?

Su Dingfang saw that Guo Ye didn't speak for a long time, so he had to remind and ask: "Do you really think that Li Shangshu invited you to Chang'an, just because you are talented, and he wants to invite you to drink wine and eat meat, and you will be in the snow?" ”

Guo Ye thinks about it, he knows how it can be so simple, he has gone through the Sui and Tang dynasties, and he is a well-known and knowledgeable contemporary Confucian, a dignified court official of the second grade of the Ministry of Rites, one of the six bigwigs, and the entire school affairs and imperial examinations of the Tang Dynasty and the dealings between the vassal and foreign countries are all in his charge.

Even the court etiquette, the palace etiquette, and the king's ethics can be mixed up.

In later generations, this old Li Tou is a figure like the Minister of Education.

Such a big guy would condescend to himself and invite himself to Chang'an just because of a brave Xichuan and a rare reason for talents, and invite himself to drink and eat?

Don't talk nonsense, Guo Ye is strong in his heart, but he is by no means arrogant.

And he somewhat guessed the intention of this unknown scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and tried to ask: "In the next one, I am not a scholar, and the second is not a military general, shouldn't it be worthy of Li Shangshu to be so enthusiastic and take me under the door?" ”

"Haha......"

Su Dingfang said with a smile: "You kid is still sober and knows his own catties, but Li Shangshu really wants to take you under his command, to be exact, he wants to win you over." ”

"Huh? As for it? At best, I am a six-rank Xiao cavalry captain, although it is a martial artist, but in Chang'an City, it is not a great official position, why should he be so ......"

"Wrong!"

Su Dingfang shook his hand and said, "Don't say that you are a six-rank martial arts captain, what about a light car captain?" This old Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites values your position as a small protector of Xichuan, commanding 3,000 troops, sitting in one place, although the number of soldiers and jurisdictions under his command is pitiful, but with him taking care of you, it is not impossible to command tens of thousands of troops in the future and guard one side. ”

Guo Ye exclaimed: "Huh? I see! ”

And the back said with a smug expression: "What's wrong with that?" Grass, I was almost scared to death by you, and I thought that Boss Li Gang was secretly trying to make something and pull me into the pit together. We're different from you, you're at least in the emperor's heart, we don't even have a backer, and now there's a six-part boss who is willing to cover me, what else am I not satisfied with? ”

"Hey......

Su Dingfang suddenly sneered and said softly, "Do you really think it's that simple? Do you really think that Li Gang simply cherishes talents, values your potential, and wants to take you under his disciples and cultivate you well? ”

Paralyzed, Su Dingfang began to sell Guanzi again, he really didn't know as much about the thoughts of those upper-level bigwigs in Chang'an City as Su Dingfang.

Then he held back the dissatisfaction in his heart and shook his head blankly to indicate that he didn't know.

Su Dingfang reminded again: "Think about it again, what identity does Li Gang have besides the position of secretary of the Ministry of Rites?" ”

This was difficult for Guo Ye, and replied directly: "Prince Zhan Shibei!" ”

Su Dingfang knew that Guo Ye's kid had a lot of gossip, and it was not surprising that this kid knew the identity of Li Gang's prince Zhan Shi.

Instead, he continued to smile and asked, "What is Prince Zhan Shi doing?" Think about it again, why Li Gang spared no effort to win over you, a little six-pin Xichuan Xiaoduhu. The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, capable of producing many people, famous ministers and fierce generals, as many as carp crossing the river, why do people just want to win over you, a little horseman? ”

Guo Ye listened to the chisel of Su Ding's dialect, although he smiled, he didn't seem to be joking casually.

Immediately, there was silence.

Prince Zhan Shi, the prince's teacher.

didn't win over the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, but Wang Ba looked at the mung beans and fell in love with him, a small six-pin Xichuan Xiaodu Protector.

Su Dingfang is reasonable, what people value is their own 3,000 Xichuan army, as well as the small territory of Xichuan within a radius of several hundred miles that they independently control.

Li Gang is old, the loess is almost up to his neck, how many years can he live? Is it useful for him to win over his henchmen?

And Lao Li Tou is still a minister of education, and he is 108,000 miles away from soldiers and horses, so if he wants to win over himself, he shouldn't be wooed by someone like him?

Could it be that this is not Li Gang's own intention? But someone else?

Who could send Li Gang to come forward to engage in such a thankless and condescending thing?

Su Dingfang vigorously emphasized in his ear that Li Gang's other layer of identity.

suddenly

Guo Ye's face changed suddenly, he looked at Su Dingfang with incredible eyes, and shouted in panic: "I'm a mother, Lao Su, don't tell me, there is someone else behind this Li Gang who instructed this matter?" And this man is ......"
