XLI. The blade of the sword is stained with blood

At this time, the request was obviously expected by Li Erbixia, Li Erbixia naturally raised his hand, and the eunuch stopped reading the holy decree, and then Li Erbixia said with a pleasant face: "What does Aiqing want, although it is said that Aiqing regained the jade seal of the country for my Tang Dynasty, such a great merit, if there is any request, I will definitely agree." ”

Su Dingfang bowed: "Xie Bixia!" The minister's request is to hope that Bixia will take back the Chang'an mansion given to the minister. ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Li Erbixia felt strange, but the ministers also felt strange, don't want a mansion, where do you live in Chang'an? And, why not a mansion?

Li Erbixia asked strangely, "Why doesn't Aiqing want a mansion?" ”

Su Dingfang said: "Bixia, there are only four people left in the minister's family after the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, they are the minister's mother, the minister's second aunt, the minister's younger sister, and the minister's brother, Suning, the son of Sanyuan County; The two families look forward to the Tang Dynasty from the suffering, they have already become a family, if they live separately, the minister is a person in the army, and lives in the army, so that there is only one old mother in the family, the minister is really not at ease, if he lives with the second brother, the family also has a care for each other, and the minister can rest assured that he will be loyal to the country, so, the minister is brave, please bixia agree to the minister's request! ”

Suning found out for the first time that Su Dingfang was also very good at talking, looking forward to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, this sentence invisibly raised Li Erbixia to the status of the savior, which made Li Erbixia feel very cool, and took out family affection and filial piety as a must-kill, without mentioning the rules and regulations of the imperial court, taking filial piety as a reason, even the most pedantic old Confucian, there is no way to refute it, who dares to say that filial piety is wrong?

Suning noticed that although many ministers frowned, they couldn't speak, and they didn't seem to be going to speak, but Su Dingfang's words pushed Suning out......

It feels very uncomfortable to be watched by many people......

Li Erbixia also frowned at first, but then thought about it and relaxed again, although the two brothers in the family should go out and set up another door to show their self-reliance whether they are officials or not, and there are some elements of avoiding suspicion in being officials, but Su Dingfang's reason is not good to refuse, refusing Su Dingfang's filial piety for his mother? Then Li Erbixia will be scolded, they have bad intentions? Okay, who's going to believe it? Didn't you see that even those most active officials didn't come out?

So Li Erbixia smiled slightly, and said: "Well, Su Aiqing is very pleased with her filial piety for her mother, then, I agree to your request, you can live in a mansion with Sanyuan County, to show the foundation of the Tang Dynasty to establish the country with benevolence and filial piety, and the mansion originally given to you, I still give it to you to commend your filial piety." ”

Su Dingfang was overjoyed and thanked: "Thank you, thank you!" Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

Under the excitement, Su Dingfang was full of gratitude to Li Erbixia, and the excitement was beyond words, Li Erbixia naturally had great joy in his heart, and daxiao three times.

The eunuch saw that the matter was over, so he prepared to continue to read the holy decree: "Suning, the son of Sanyuan County, ......" "Slow! ”

As soon as the eunuch read the beginning, Li Erbixia interrupted, this sudden change surprised the whole court, and also made Suning a little surprised, I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Li Erbixia's gourd.

I saw Li Erbixia slowly open his mouth and said, "Where is Suning, the son of Sanyuan County?" As soon as Suning heard Li Erbixia call him, he immediately stood up, came to the center of the hall with some trepidation, and lowered his head, this is etiquette, you can't look directly at the emperor; looked down at the wooden plank on the ground and said, "Chen Suning, here." ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Erbixia's mouth, and he said, "Raise your head and look at me." Suning raised his head and looked at Li Erbixia, Li Erbixia also stared at Suning carefully, he didn't look carefully, not really, at this time Li Erbixia could be regarded as seeing the whole picture of Suning clearly, yes, handsome, neither humble nor arrogant, no flattery, and Su Dingfang is really seven points similar, it should be a brother.

Suning also stared at Li Erbixia, only to feel that Li Erbixia had a noble temperament and a domineering spirit, and then there was handsomeness, and he looked at it again, Li Erbixia's eyes were the most brilliant place on his whole face, a pair of starry eyes were bright, and extremely sharp, such sharp eyes made Suning feel that he was about to be looked at, and he felt that the whole person was in broad daylight, and he couldn't hide any secrets......

Sure enough, it's the emperor, and there can only be one character out of tens of millions of people, where is it so easy to deal with? Where is it so easy to calculate? Suning suddenly felt a little frustrated, fighting with Li Erbixia, it was simply looking for death, sure enough, if you want to do what you want to do, you must keep the same pace with Li Erbixia, no matter what, you can't fight against Li Erbixia, this is the way of survival of Zhenguan Dynasty.

"You're Suning?" Suning guessed wrong, he overestimated Li Erbixia's ability to recognize people, Li Erbixia was still a person after all, he didn't get anything from Suning's eyes, so he could only ask slowly; The sword-sharp gaze softened a lot, and Suning also felt a lot more relaxed, and with a sigh of relief, Suning replied, "The minister is Suning." ”

Li Erbixia nodded and continued to ask, "You are fourteen years old this year, are you?" ”

Suning replied, "Yes, Chen is fourteen years old this year. ”

Li Erbixia then asked: "At such a young age, it is rare not to be cowardly in the face of the battlefield, why do you dare to attack 30,000 Turkic elite soldiers with 500 cavalry?" Even if it is a fire attack, it also requires a lot of courage, and everything else can be learned through reading, such as the Art of War, I don't think it's strange, you have a teacher to teach, and you want to learn very well, which is normal, but courage is not something that can be read by reading.

I am also more than ten years old in the army to fight, the first time on the battlefield is also uneasy, I am very curious, you are also the first to go to the battlefield, a battle of Dingxiang, a hundred elite soldiers open the city gate, capture Dingxiang; World War II Yinshan, burning the Turkic army, breaking it in one fell swoop, this is definitely not something that a normal teenager can do, I am very curious, where did your courage come from? How did your teacher teach you? Naturally, it is inconvenient for me to ask more, but you have been born, and as an official of the Tang Dynasty, there are some things that you should tell me. ”

Suning admired in his heart, worthy of being an emperor through the ages, asking questions is so profound, and he smelled the most fundamental place at once, yes, the knowledge of the art of war and strategy can be read through reading, but the real generals are all equipped with the skills and courage of commanding the army, and the courage is closely related to the battlefield experience, and the first time on the battlefield can make such a huge contribution, anyone will be puzzled.

Li Erbixia's question got to the point, that's right, the master's stunt is not passed on, everyone knows it in their hearts, and it is inconvenient to ask more, but these things, as an official of the Tang Dynasty, should indeed be said, otherwise, the emperor and his subordinates will still have some doubts, and if they have doubts, it is definitely not a good thing for themselves.

The eldest grandson Wuji, Li Jing, Li Shiji, and Tang Jian, as well as a number of officials, all have a strong interest, and Suning must give an explanation to this problem.

However, this is also expected by Suning, Suning has long been prepared to be carefully interrogated by Li Erbixia, so as to reassure Li Erbixia, Suning wants to tell Li Erbixia through this question that he is absolutely loyal to Datang, and he is beneficial and harmless to Datang.

"Naturally, the minister will not hide this; It is indeed the first time he has seen the battlefield, but it is not the first time he has seen blood. Suning decided to tell the truth, the old man's practices were indeed the main reason for shaping his character; As soon as the words fell, the court remembered the sound of whispering, and many officials began to exchange ears.

Li Jing remembered that moment of lightning and flint, and instantly understood, it turned out that the reason why this kid reacted so quickly was not the first time he had seen blood!

Li Erbixia was shocked in his heart, and his tone became serious: "Oh, you have killed someone? Where was it killed? Who was killed? Weishenme killing? ”

Four questions in a row made Suning a little stunned, smiled, and Suning said: "It's not a human who kills, it's a wolf." ”

The noise in the court is getting louder, wolf? This kid has killed wolves? The wolf is a terrible beast, and it wants to eat people! This kid has killed wolves? Li Erbixia was obviously getting more and more interested, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Let's be honest. Suning said honestly: "This is because of Shizun's words, Shizun said to the minister, ten years of hard work on paper, it is better to have a sword blade stained with blood, some things, no blood, will not understand." These are the old man's original words, and he has not changed a word.

Li Erbixia's eyes froze, and he became more and more surprised in his heart, he worked paper for ten years, it is better to stain the blade with blood once he is, what kind of master can comprehend the truth? Li Erbixia deeply realized this, if you don't see blood, you can't do big things, you must see blood, so you can give up some things ruthlessly, if you don't give up some things, you won't get what you want!

"So when the minister was ten years old, the master gave the minister a dagger, and left the minister alone on the mountain road, it was night, there was only one minister around, and the minister did not know martial arts, and the minister met two mountain wolves, and wanted to eat the minister, and the minister was bitten by them, of course, they were eventually killed by the minister, and the minister lived until dawn, and the master came and took the minister away, and from that time on, the minister understood a lot of things." Suning said honestly.

Ten years old, a man with a dagger, at night, on the mountain road where there was no one, two mountain wolves, this kid survived, killed one, bit one to death, what a situation it was!

Li Erbixia Rao is a person who has seen a big scene, and he was also shocked by this way of teaching: "This, this is too cruel, right?" If one is not good, then there will be a worry about life! ”

Li Erbixia was born in a noble family, and he has been clothed and fed since he was a child, where has he experienced such a feeling? Even if he learned to endure hardships during the battlefield battle, but when he was ten years old, Li Erbixia felt that he did not have the ability to fight against two mountain wolves, but Suning did it, it seems that he has such a decisive heart, it is not a strange thing, that master, is really a real master!

Li Shiji looked at Suning, at this time he could only see a back, but in a trance, he suddenly saw this back figure sitting on a horse, holding a steel gun, the pennant fluttering behind him, and the 100,000 army standing behind him, he raised the steel gun in his hand high, and suddenly the war drums were monstrous, the roar shook the sky, Li Shiji hit a spirit, everything in front of him returned to normal, this is not a battlefield, it is a court!

Changsun Chong looked at Suning, shocked in his heart, it turned out that he had gone through all this to be so decisive in killing, and the decisiveness in killing cultivated since childhood was not comparable to himself, a person who had only participated in a battle; Thinking of the strange cloth with temperature, Changsun Chong's gaze at Suning was full of trust and warmth......

Suning said: "If you want to get something, you have to pay the price, there is no such thing as not getting something for nothing, so the minister naturally can't get it for nothing, the master always has to leave the minister, the old man can protect the minister when he is there, but once he is gone?" The minister is alone, only to protect himself, if he wants to live, he can only do that. ”

"I see, I understand, it's because I'm lonely and unheard, I heard that you were rescued and raised by your master in the chaos of the army, and now it seems that although you have been separated from your relatives at home for 14 years, you are not a blessing in disguise, the reason for the blessing and the misfortune, the reason for the misfortune and the blessing, I can understand all this, treat the Turks so ruthlessly, and burn down the Yin Mountain, but also to avenge the relatives and villagers, right?" Li Erbixia asked slowly.
