Chapter 74 The King of Qi fights Wei Chi Gong
At first, Yuan Jisheng and Empress Taimu hated her appearance and refused to show off. She said that she was kind-hearted and breastfeeded her.
The above paragraph is from "New Book of Tang, Volume 79, Biography 4, and the Sons of Emperor Gaozu", which means that when Li Yuanji was first born, his mother, Empress Dou, despised him for being ugly and did not want him. It is even said that she wanted someone to throw him away. However, a maid named Chen Shanyi secretly took Li Yuanji back to raise him.
This passage is really unconvincing. First of all, the newborn children are almost ugly than the other, all of whom are red and wrinkled, and they look like an alien. Queen Dou had given birth to four children before giving birth to Li Yuanji, so it is impossible not to know this.
In addition, as a mother and a very wise queen in history, it is impossible for her child to be ugly because she is ugly. This is not in line with human nature at all. So the only explanation is that after Li Shimin ascended the throne, in order to vilify his brother, he did not hesitate to lower his mother's emotional intelligence to the negative level in order to vilify his brother.
Finally, I would like to add that the maid Chen Shanyi, who left her name in the history book, appeared again in the history book later. The book said that she angered Li Yuanji for some reason, but Li Yuanji ordered several strong men to grab her limbs and pull her to death.
In addition, historical books also record many of Li Yuanji's cruel and evil deeds, such as asking his concubines to take off all their clothes and fight, the wife and daughter of his subordinates, and the escape at the battle. Anyway, from these things alone, Li Yuanji is simply a scumbag that is rare in a thousand years. However, Li Shimin forgot the truth that everything will turn out to the opposite. He criticized Li Yuanji to the end, which always made people feel a little unreal.
When Li Xiu saw Li Yuanji, a handsome guy with a handsome man in his youth, he knew that he had been deceived by the history books again. His appearance alone was not comparable to the history books, and there was no need to ask about other aspects. I guess many records were unreliable. In fact, it was not only Yuanji, but also the records of Li Jiancheng were not credible, so he might have to re-know these brothers next.
Li Yuanji replaced Xue Wanche to challenge Li Shimin. Looking at Li Yuanji who was so energetic on the school field, Li Shimin wanted to come out and teach his younger brother a lesson, but he was self-aware. Although he was extremely brave, among all the brothers, Li Yuanji was the most brave. He could not beat him a few years ago. Now, as Li Yuanji grew older, his force was stronger than the past, so he would not end up looking for abuse.
"It's rare that the fourth brother has such interest. I, the elder brother, can't help you. Which general is willing to fight against King Qi?" Li Shimin immediately said in a deep voice. He was very dissatisfied with Li Yuanji's loyal support for his elder brother Li Jiancheng, which also led to their brothers having little contact.
However, as soon as Li Shimin said, the generals on his side had a brief recession. Li Yuanji and others also heard about it. Those with lower force did not dare to embarrass themselves, and those with higher force were worried that if they hurt Li Yuanji, they might cause trouble for themselves, so many people were hesitant.
"I wish to go!" However, a thunderous voice came from Li Shimin soon. Then the black iron-like man standing with Qin Qiong strode towards the school ground. Li Xiu had noticed this person just now, and he was probably the legendary Yuchi Gong.
"There is a good show now. This person's name is Yuchi Gong. Although he has not surrendered for a long time, he has made many outstanding achievements and is very good at seizing the horse spear with empty hands. As soon as the King of Qi is a famous horse spear master. It's interesting to fight these two!" Ma Master thought that Li Xiu didn't know about Yuchi Gong, so he smiled and introduced that in fact, Yuchi Gong surrendered to the Tang Dynasty for less than three years. Although he made a lot of contributions, he was not as famous as he later. However, he was extremely trusted by Li Shimin and his status in the Tiance Mansion is not lower than that of Qin Qiong.
Not only did Ma Ye know that Yuchi Gong was good at snatching horse spears with empty hands, but almost everyone around him also knew his unique skills. Now he faced the King of Qi who was good at using horse spears, so he immediately caused a sensation in the entire school field. Everyone wanted to see who these two people were stronger and who were weak?
"Uncle Ma, although the King of Qi is brave, he seems to be a little younger. I bet General Yuchi will win!" Li Xiu suddenly tempted with a smirk. He had known the result of this battle, and there were records in history that Yuchi Gong had three times taken Li Yuanji's horse spear. Although he knew that many things recorded in historical books were unreliable, Li Xiu felt that with the courage of Yuchi Gong, there should be no problem in defeating Li Yuanji.
"Hey, what you mean by your boy, is you want to bet with me?" Ma Ye turned his head and looked at Li Xiu and said.
"Hehe, just bet, I just don't know if Uncle Ma, do you dare?" Li Xiu said in arousing Ma Master again.
"Okay, what do you want to bet? Don't think that you could beat me if you won the King of Qin last time!" Mr. Ma said very dissatisfied at the moment. As long as he was a general, there was no one who was not easy to bet, and Mr. Ma was no exception.
"I bet that General Yuchi won this game. If I win, Uncle Ma, please give me your jade-inlaid fishing rod!" Li Xiu said at this time. When he saw Mr. Ma for the first time, the other party used a gold-inlaid fishing rod to fish. Li Xiu was very envious at that time. Unfortunately, when Mr. Ma was angry, he broke the fishing rod. However, the princess later asked the skilled craftsman in the palace to create a jade-inlaid fishing rod for him. It was more beautiful and luxurious than the original one. Li Xiu thought about it once after seeing him.
"Good boy, it turns out that you have been thinking about my fishing rod. That was given to me by the princess. You kid really dare to ask for it!" Master Ma immediately understood Li Xiu's ambition when he heard this, and couldn't help but laugh and scold.
"What, Uncle Ma, don't you bear to bear it?" Li Xiu said excitedly again.
"You don't have to provoke me, isn't it just a fishing rod? I bet with you, but if you lose, you have to cook for me for a month." Uncle Ma said generously. When he got to his identity, he actually didn't care about winning or losing, and he was just a heartbeat.
Just when Li Xiu and Ma Ye were betting, Yuchi Gong had already ridden a war horse to the school ground. He was in the crowd just now, and Li Xiu didn't see it very clearly. He was close at this time. Only then did he realize that Yuchi Gong was indeed as black and strong as the legendary one, and he could play in the NBA in later generations. He rode a black cone horse under his foot, standing on the court one by one, looking like an iron tower. Even when facing the torrent of thousands of troops, it seemed that he could not make him take a step back!
Coincidentally, Li Yuanji was riding a white horse in a white robe, and his face was as white as jade. He stood with Yuchi Gong, who had gone from head to toe, and immediately formed a sharp contrast.
"It turns out to be General Yuchi. I have heard that the general is extremely brave and likes to seize the spear on the battlefield. I wonder if you can take away the spear in my hand?" Li Yuanji glanced at Yuchi Gong and spoke with a full of gunpowder.
"I'm a rough man and can't speak. Please do it, King Qi!" Yuchi Gong is a real person and knows his shortcomings, so he didn't accept Li Yuanji's words and asked him to do it directly, meaning that he should not say so much nonsense, just do it directly.
It was the first time that Li Yuanji encountered such an opponent. He laughed and took off his horse spear, slapped his horse and rushed towards Yuchi Gong. Yuchi Gong didn't dare to be careless, and he also took off his horse spear, but his horse spear was made of fine steel, which was longer and heavier than ordinary horse spears, and ordinary people couldn't use it at all.
At that moment, Yuchi Gong also roared and rushed towards Li Yuanji. As soon as the two met, their spears stabbed out like dragons. However, both of them were skilled in martial arts. The first round was just a test, so the weapons of both sides hit a few times and made a sound of metal and iron fighting. Then the two separated again, and each had a little understanding of each other's strength.
After the test, Li Yuanji and Yuchi Gong turned around and killed again at almost the same time. This time, the two of them showed no mercy. They fought hard in the school field. Although Li Xiu did not understand this kind of cold weapon competition, he was sweating. In his eyes, each spear of Yuchi Gong was powerful and seemed to be able to break mountains and rocks. However, Li Yuanji was skilled in martial arts, and his horse spear often stabbed out in incredible places to resolve Yuchi Gong's attack.
The soldiers around the captain were also flirting with glee. Whether it was the Prince's East Palace Liuru or the Qin King's Tiance General, they were all so excited that they could not suppress themselves. The cheers were louder and louder, and the whole scene became boiling. Even Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin could not sit still in the end. They walked to the edge of the war drum and began to cheer for their side. This also made Yuchi Gong and Li Yuanji become more and more brave, and sparks even appeared when the weapons collided.
Li Xiu next to him was shocked to see that Li Yuanji could fight with Yuchi Gong for so long without losing. It seemed that he underestimated Li Yuanji. If this guy was not a prince and died too early, he would probably be a brave general in the early Tang Dynasty. And if he remembered correctly, Li Yuanji is only twenty years old now and his physical strength has not reached the peak of a man. In comparison, Yuchi Gong, who is in his thirties, has taken a certain advantage.
But at this moment, Mr. Ma next to him suddenly shook his head and said, "Boy, you want to win. King Qi is indeed too young and has some lack of practical experience. If it is a life-and-death battle on the battlefield, I'm afraid Yuchi Gong has killed him three times, and Yuchi Gong's trick has not been used yet!"
When Li Xiu heard Ma Ye's words, he looked at him with a confused look on his face. This is the difference between an expert and an outsider. He only saw that Li Yuanji was hard to solve, but he did not see that Yuchi Gong did not do his best. However, it was very rare for Li Yuanji to hold on in front of Yuchi Gong for so long.
Just as Ma Ye finished speaking, the situation of the captain changed suddenly. When Yuchi Gong was charging, he suddenly put the horse spear back in his hand and hooked up, and then rushed towards Li Yuanji with empty hands. As a result, this made the entire school ground silent immediately. Everyone was looking forward to Yuchi Gong's snatching the spear with empty hands.
Li Yuanji, on the opposite side, saw Yuchi Gong rushing towards him empty-handedly, and he gritted his teeth. He just knew that Yuchi Gong was merciful, but this aroused his competitive spirit, so he also secretly swore that he would not let Yuchi Gong take away his weapons with empty-handedly no matter what!
