Chapter 5?(1/2)

Li Yuanchang, who was beaten away, drove away the shameless Du He, and finally calmed down the imperial study room.

Li Shimin suddenly let out a leisurely sigh and said to Changsun Wuji: "Wuji, you and I have been together for many years. Are you sure I am the kind of person who can hide all the birds and bows?"

Changsun Wuji smiled: "Your Majesty is too worried. This is all nonsense for the Du boy, so why should you take it to your heart?"

"It is better to guard against the people than to guard against the rivers." Li Shimin looked into the distance with deep eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, and suddenly shook his head: "Forget it, I don't think about this for the time being. Anyway, you will naturally know what kind of person I am after a long time. By the way, Du He is quite interesting, bold and meticulous, and will definitely retaliate. He is no worse than him at all."

"Haha... what Your Majesty said is that Keming suffered a little grievance back then..." Changsun Wuji's voice gradually became weaker, and he muttered to Li Er and talked about the secrets of that year.

Outside the Tai Chi Palace Chengtian Gate.

As soon as Du He came out, he saw Du Gou, who was spinning like a donkey pulling a mill, and Fang Qiao and Fang Xuanling, who looked kind like the uncle next door.

While Du He thanked his ex for leaving his memories, he was more moved. He really didn't expect that his cheap brother could bring Fang Xuanling.

That is a veritable prime minister. It is not so easy to invite a premier.

With such a touch, Du He made up his mind to make Du Gou this point, so he could not really become a disabled person. He would let him give up the idea of ​​going to Dengzhou no matter what he said.

"Brother, Uncle Fang, why are you all here? It's just a small matter. Why is it that uncle personally traveling?"

"Second brother, are you really okay?" Seeing Du He return safely, Du Gou was a little excited and pulled him up and down for a long time until he was sure that he was fine.

Fang Xuanling was always calm and said with a smile: "I have always told your elder brother that since Your Majesty sent Su Dingfang to arrest you, he didn't really plan to do anything to you. It's just that Du Gou is concerned about it and can't listen."

Du Gou was embarrassed: "Uncle Fang was a clever plan, Du Gou was ashamed."

Du He nodded: "My brother has always been like this. He has been irritable since he was a child, which has made Uncle Fang worry."

Du Gou:...

I am your brother, or you are my brother. I believe it or not, I will beat you up.

"Hahahaha..." Fang Xuanling saw Du He's interesting words and yelled: "You kid, you are choreographing your elder brother like this, be careful that he will wear small shoes for you when he goes back."

Du He smiled and said, "How can I do it? My brother loves me the most, but I can't bear to punish me."

Well, this kid finally said something human. Du Gou rolled his eyes and pulled Du He over and asked, "What did the Majesty say to you this time when he entered the palace? I honestly say that you are not allowed to add fuel to the fire."

For a moment, Fang Xuanling and the old servant behind him all pricked up their ears.

They were calm before, and they didn't wait for what Du He had experienced in the palace.

Du He touched his nose with an innocent look on his face: "I didn't say anything, I just asked about the situation at home. Seeing that our family is very pitiful, I asked me to study hard. For this reason, I specially gave me a qualification to go to Hongwenguan to study. I also said I would find a good teacher for me, as if my surname was...Lu."

"Teacher named Lu... but Lu Yuanlang, a famous scholar of the Confucian scholar?" Fang Xuanling was shocked and almost pulled down his beard.

Although Du He said it in a very untrue way, Fang Xuanling knew that he would not lie on this issue. After all, such things will be easily known in the future, and there is no need to lie.

Du He smiled embarrassedly: "It seems that he was too nervous at that time and didn't hear it clearly."

"Oh, good luck boy, I really don't know what to say to you." Fang Xuanling shook his head and sighed. With his heart as prime minister, he was a little jealous at this time.

Du Gou's eyes were faint and angry. I had never been to Hongwenguan. Why did this kid be so useless, but he had the chance to go in and even became such a good teacher. As long as nothing unexpected happens in the future, he can get a good position in the court.

Damn, Lu Yuanlang is the prince’s junior teacher!

Taking him as his teacher is equivalent to becoming the prince's brother. If there is such a relationship, I will ask if you are afraid.

Du He was staring at the two of them and said quietly: "Why do you think of me? This is just the meaning of Your Majesty. It may not be certain whether Teacher Lu will accept me."

You guy is a little self-aware, Du Gou rolled his eyes and said, "Since it's nothing, then you can go back soon. Be prepared. It's a rare opportunity. Don't miss it."

"Oh." Du He agreed, but wanted to leave but found that Du Gou had not moved: "Brother, aren't you going back?"

"I have something to do, so I won't go back first." Du Gou said as he thanked Fang Xuanling again, and then ignored Du He and left with the butler Shi Shiran.

It was so cool, Du He smiled bitterly, looked at Fang Xuanling, and felt aroused in his heart: "Uncle Fang is going to go later, I don't know if he has time to talk."

"What do you guy want to talk about? I'm going to go to the West Market to do some research later. If you have anything to say, just go with me." Fang Xuanling was considering it for some reason, but he agreed to Du He's request and took him onto the carriage with him.

Looking at Fang Xuanling wearing casual clothes, Du He curled his lips and said that he was just fishing during work hours.

However, at this time, I had something to ask for, so I could only pretend to be without knowing anything. I got on the carriage and looked for an opportunity to speak: "Uncle Fang actually has something to ask for today. I hope I can think about it carefully later."

"What's the matter? Tell me." In Fang Xuanling's eyes, Du He was just a little kid who had not grown up, and he was very similar to his second-child love. What he wanted was nothing more than a little bit of shit.

However, when Du He spoke, the old house was stunned.

"Uncle Fang, my brother is now going to Dengzhou with all his heart. Can you find a way to transfer him to another place?"

"You transferred your brother? Is this your idea or your brother's idea?"

"Of course it's my idea. My brother is still dreaming of glorifying his ancestors. He doesn't think about where Dengzhou is. With his personality, what else can he do besides causing trouble." Du He told the truth, without any concealment.

In fact, he doesn't have to hide anything. Du Gou's ability is there. As long as he is an individual, he knows that he is not the material. Going to Dengzhou is just jumping into a fire pit.

Fang Xuanling was a little hesitant and was not sure whether he should agree to Du He. After all, Du Gou was in power. It was obviously unwise to offend a head of the family for a less important second son.

Du He didn't force it. Seeing Fang Xuanling hesitated, he smiled and asked some things to pay attention to when going to Hongwenguan. The time was not long, so the carriage stopped and the west market arrived.

After getting off the carriage, Du He was attracted by the livestock market full of cattle and horses. He used to live in the city and had no chance to get in touch with these big animals so close. Now that he saw it, he immediately came over with curiosity, driving him to the scene, and ignored the strange smell.

"Boss, what's the price of this cow?" Walking in along the fence, Du He took a look at a strong scalper that he first saw. He went up and looked at it, and started chatting with the boss next to him.

The boss who sold animals saw Du He wearing white clothes and was extremely dignified. He looked at Fang Xuanling, who was following behind without anger, thought he was asking for his elders again, and quickly stood up and answered, "This little noble man, this old man is a good cow. He is just three years old this year. If you like him, give this number." As he said that, he compared four fingers.

"Six silos?" Du He's eyes widened: "So expensive?"

"Uh..., noble man, this cow is so awesome, the price is not high at all."

"Forget it, I'd better take a look." Du He shook his head. The purchasing power of a penny in Tang Chu was equivalent to about five yuan in later generations, and four guan was 20,000 yuan.

I bought a cow for 20,000 yuan and went back to see it. It would be easy to say that my family would have money in the future. Now... forget it, Du Gou will go crazy.

Fang Xuanling smiled, as if he couldn't smell the mess of animals around him. Seeing Du He's confused look on his face, he explained to him: "Actually, he said it right just now. That four-guan of cow is really not expensive. This is a big animal. If you buy one, you can at least 100 acres of land."

"Then I can't afford it." Du He took out his body, took out a handful of copper plates and counted it, spreading it in his palm: "Uncle Fang, you have seen it too, there are only about twenty copper plates on me."

"Hahahaha..." Fang Xuanling laughed loudly, pointed at Du He and cursed: "You kid, crying poorly in front of me, and I have no money."

Du He silently put away the copper coins and shook his head with deep feelings: "Oh, it turns out that the horse is thin, long and drooping, and the poor people are not good at speaking!"

Fang Xuanling staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Damn, didn’t I just say that I had no money? How could you, a little kid, have so many insights? I was like an iron rooster who was unkind.

At this time, Fang Xuanling was seriously suspicious that if Du Ruhui didn't do it well, he would be angry to death.

I was moved all the way and walked around. Before I knew it, I came to the horse market. I saw horses everywhere, with the fur brushes shiny. Several foreigners wearing Tang people's clothes shouting to attract customers.

However, Du He did not ask again this time. Horses in the Tang Dynasty were much more expensive than cows. All cows were four stakes, so don’t say anything about the horses. If you don’t have money in your pocket, you will ask in vain if you ask them.

Just as Du He was planning to leave with Fang Xuanling, a big bearded businessman rushed out, whispering a crappy plastic official speech, and said mysteriously: "This young man, is he buying a horse? The villain has a good war horse here. Do you want to take a look?"

"War Horse?" Du He was a little surprised and looked back at Fang Xuanling.

In the Tang Dynasty, war horses were prohibited from being bought and sold by private horses. They could be raised, but they could only be sold to the government and could not be traded privately. Otherwise, both buyers and sellers would be held accountable, with light beating and heavy beating.

Fang Xuanling was much calmer than Du He and looked around calmly: "Where is the horse? If what you said is true, money is not a problem."

It's amazing, the presiding assistant can also fish and enforce the law.

Du He couldn't help but admire Fang Xuanling's professional qualities. Could it be that this is the legendary lion fights with all his strength?

The bearded businessman didn't know that there was a fake, so he just thought that the two were big dogs who were here to select livestock. While leading the two to walk to the same corner, he boasted without knowing how to do it: "The two nobles are not villains, but our horses are definitely the most top war horses. If you buy them, you can match the identities of both of them, whether you pull a cart or ride a ride."

Du He was too lazy to talk to a short-lived monster, and said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, where is the horse?"

"Then, that's there." The bearded merchant raised his hand and pointed in one direction: "Please look at it, it's that white horse."

Following the direction of the businessman's finger, Du He saw a handsome horse with a grayish-white color, with a tall head, a narrow chest, a long back, a thin head and a high neck, but the fur color was not very good and a little dull. At first glance, he had not received good care.

Du He frowned, not because he was overwhelmed with sympathy, but because the white horse looked familiar and had a very familiar body characteristic, much like the sweat-blooded BMW recorded in the data.

"How much does this horse cost?" With such suspicion, Du He walked towards the horse, intending to take a closer look.

The bearded businessman stretched out two fingers and compared them in front of Du He.

"Hmm? Two hundred cents?" Du He stopped, and if it was so expensive, he wouldn't be able to buy it.

The bearded man's expression was a little distorted, and he said embarrassedly: "Don't joke, little boy, twenty knots."

"How many?" Du He's chin almost hit his feet.

Twenty stakes?

This price made him doubt his previous judgment. If this is really a sweat-blooded BMW, even if it is sold for 200 coins, it will be higher than this price.

The bearded man was a little shy and said after a while: "Who, I was originally planning to sell for fifty taels, but this horse hurt his feet a few days ago, so..."

Du He didn't want to hear the bearded man's moji, he just wanted to see if the horse was the legendary sweat-blooded BMW. This thing can only be known by looking at it with your own eyes. As for the injury to the feet, if it is really a sweat-blooded BMW, it would be impossible to cure it.

After coming to the horse without saying a word, Fang Xuanling only took a look from afar, then shook his head and said, "This horse is definitely not worth twenty cents."

Twenty knots are not worth it? Du He was a little stunned now.

But how is it possible? Du He is almost 100% sure of such a close distance. This is the sweat-blooded BMW recorded in the data, that is, the Akhaltekin Horse, which originates near the Caspian Sea. There are also records in "Records of the Grand Historian" that are produced in the Kingdom of Dayuan.

However, when he looked at the horse's hooves carefully, he found that the horse's right front hooves had actually cracked a big hole, and blood was constantly flowing out.

But the white horse seemed to feel no pain, and still stood stubbornly, with a faint sadness of a hero's twilight age.

Du He looked at it and a strange color flashed in his eyes. There was no horse's hooves on the horse's hooves.
