Chapter 940 News from the Wu Family
"I...I want to go to the military academy!" Under Li Xiu's instructions, Li Jin finally expressed his thoughts. In fact, sometimes Li Xiu also felt that Princess Pingyang was too strict with Li Jin, which led to Li Jin not daring to express his true thoughts in front of Princess Pingyang. This is not a good thing, so he was encouraged to tell the truth.
Unexpectedly, Princess Pingyang was not angry when she heard Li Jin's words. Instead, she looked at him calmly, and then said again: "Do you know what the military academy does?"
"Of course I know that the military academy was established by my father, which was to train future generals for our Tang Dynasty. Huaidao and others also went to the military academy and could lead troops to fight like Uncle Qin and others in the future!" Li Jin saw that his mother did not object immediately, and he couldn't help but feel energetic and replied.
"Haha, children always think that fighting is a very powerful and fun thing, but do you know that fighting will kill people. Even generals cannot guarantee their safety sometimes. Moreover, on the battlefield, you must know how to make choices, and even send your relatives and friends to the battlefield to die. Can you bear all these?" But then Princess Pingyang's face changed and her expression became very cold and asked.
"I...I..." Although Li Jin was young, he could also feel the sadness in his mother's words, which made him not know how to answer for a while. However, he was stubborn by nature but refused to retreat. At this time, he raised his little face with a dissatisfied expression. He probably thought that others could do it, and of course he could do it.
"Xiu Ning, is it too early to talk to the child about this?" Seeing this, Li Xiu hurriedly handed Li Luo in his hand to the wet nurse beside him, and then stepped forward and persuaded him. After all, Li Jin is still young, so letting him accept the cruelty on the battlefield will probably leave a shadow on his heart.
"Since he wants to go to the military academy, he must understand the cruelty of the battlefield sooner or later. It is better to know earlier than to know later. And if he can't even afford this, I think he should stay at home honestly!" Princess Pingyang said mercilessly again. She has always been tougher than Li Xiu when it comes to educating her son.
"Of course I know the matter of dying on the battlefield. And mother, you can command thousands of troops as a woman, so naturally you can't lose to you if you are a son!" Li Jin finally broke out at this time and replied loudly, his little face also turned red. This was the first time he had dared to talk to his mother like this when he grew up so old.
However, when Princess Pingyang heard these words from her son, she smiled faintly, and after a while, she slowly said: "It's good to have this ambition, but you must also remember what you said today. When you go to the military academy in the future, don't retreat because you don't have to endure hardship!"
As soon as Princess Pingyang said, Li Jin was stunned for a moment. After a while, he realized and shouted ecstaticly: "Mother, you agree, can I go to the military academy?"
Seeing his son's happy look, Princess Pingyang nodded with a smile, which made Li Jin jump up even more with a laugh, and then ran to share the good news with others. As a result, in a short while, the whole family knew that he was going to the military academy.
"Xiu Ning, do you really plan to let your son become a military general in the future?" Li Xiu finally reacted at this time and asked Princess Pingyang in a low voice. Although he did not object to Li Jin's visit to the military academy, Princess Pingyang's transformation was too great, which made him a little unacceptable for a while.
"There are many types of military generals. The ones who fight in battle are also military generals, and the ones who guard the Mingde Gate are also military generals. Husband, which kind of military general do you think Jin'er will be in the future?" Princess Pingyang said at the end, but she rarely showed a naughty expression.
"Uh? This..." Li Xiu couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Princess Pingyang's appearance. He didn't expect Princess Pingyang to be so mean in this matter. Poor Li Jin was just happy, but he didn't know that even if he went to the military academy, it would be difficult for him to have the chance to go to the battlefield in the future.
Princess Pingyang saw Li Xiu's speechless look, and now smiled proudly, then turned her head and hugged Li Luo and left. Li Xiu turned her head to look at Li Jin who was sharing happiness with others, but couldn't help but smile a little bitterly. Sometimes it's not a good thing to have a strong mother, and as a father, she can only try her best to reconcile it.
However, Li Xiu soon thought that although Princess Pingyang had already set a path for Li Jin's future development, she forgot one thing, that is, everything is changing, and the plan to catch up with changes is the truth that no one can be sure of what will happen in the future. What's more, Li Jin's personality is very similar to Princess Pingyang. As he grows up, he may not be willing to accept his mother's arrangements.
Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but shook his head with a headache. It seemed that this family would not be able to find peace in the future.
"Father, why are you shaking your head? Aren't you happy for me?" But at this moment, Li Jin suddenly ran to Li Xiu again and asked excitedly.
"Of course I am happy for your father. I just thought of other things. Why didn't you play with them?" Li Xiu hurriedly said at this time. He didn't dare to tell Li Jin about Princess Pingyang's real idea, so as not to make him discouraged. In addition, he felt that Li Jin had some benefits to going to the military academy, such as the strict management of the military academy could help him restrain his temperament, so as not to become a playboy in the future.
"I forgot to ask you something just now. Didn't Mingkong return to Bingzhou? It's been so long, why haven't you come back yet? And she hasn't replied to the letter I wrote to her?" Li Jin frowned and asked. Although he and Wu Mingkong often had a fight, their relationship was the best. Last year, the warrior died. Wu Mingkong and his mother Yang and others returned to Bingzhou to bury the warrior. Now they have been away for several months and have not come back, so he was very worried.
"Calculate the time, Mingkong and the others should indeed come back, but the mountains and roads in Bingzhou are high and the road is very difficult to walk on the road, and your letter may not be able to be delivered. Even if Mingkong receives the letter to you, the letter may still be on the way, so don't worry, I'll ask for information in the past two days!" Li Xiu heard his son ask about Wu Mingkong's situation, and then pondered for a moment and replied.
"Okay, unfortunately Mingkong is not here, so he can't let her know about my going to the military academy!" Li Jin said disappointed when he heard Li Xiu's words. After saying that, he inquired about the situation of the military academy with Li Xiu, and then he ran to play happily.
After seeing his son leave, Li Xiu's face gradually became solemn. In fact, since the Chinese New Year, Li Xiu thought of Wu Mingkong. After all, they have been there for half a year, and there are Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang brothers. These two are not good people. In history, the Wu family mother and daughter were driven out of the house directly, otherwise Wu Mingkong would not have entered the palace to be a small talent.
Of course, the situation is a little different now. Wu Mingkong is his own student. When he was in Chang'an, the Wu brothers did not dare to bully her too much. However, now that they have gone to Bingzhou, it is hard to say. Moreover, although Wu Mingkong is smart, he is an unemployed child after all, and he may not have any help to his two rogue brothers.
It is precisely because of this that Li Xiu asked someone to inquire about the news from Bingzhou some time ago, and even wanted to send someone directly to Bingzhou. However, considering that the mountains are high and the waters are far away, it is better to ask about it from the people from Bingzhou. After all, the Wu family is also the most important noble in Bingzhou, and someone should know some news.
However, what disappointed Li Xiu was that although he had heard of some news about the Wu family during this period, it was all very common, such as how luxurious the funeral of the Warrior was, how luxurious the cemetery was built, etc. As for the news about Wu Mingkong and his daughter, he had not found it at all, but it was normal to think about it. After all, ordinary people could not see Wu Mingkong and his daughter.
Although he did not find out about Wu Mingkong, Li Xiu learned some news about the Wu brothers. After all, they were men, and they had always been on the funeral of Wu Shitao, so many people had seen them. Moreover, these two people often went out after the funeral and came into contact with more people.
Speaking of which, after the Wu brothers returned to Bingzhou, they were still very peaceful at the beginning, mainly dealing with their father's funeral. However, after the burial of the warrior, the two of them gradually became familiar with Bingzhou, and soon they were revealed. They were domineering and doing a lot of evil things in Bingzhou. The Bingzhou assassination officials dared not take care of it. As a result, their reputation spread throughout Bingzhou and became a local domineering.
When Li Xiu learned that the Wu brothers were doing something wrong in Bingzhou, he was also very annoyed, because the reason why the two of them dared to do this was nothing more than relying on the blessing left by the warrior. Originally, this blessing was to give them a higher starting point and serve the court, but now they use this blessing to satisfy their own personal interests. Sooner or later, it will ruin the reputation of the warrior and consume all the blessings, and then Wu Mingkong will be implicated.
What's more, Wu Shi Ting was half of Li Xiu's friend during his lifetime, so he was even more annoyed by the actions of the Wu brothers. However, the Wu brothers were already adults, and they were even a few years younger than Li Xiu. Their personality had already taken shape and could not change at all. Li Xiu wanted to help him.
Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel that it was worthless for the warrior. He worked hard all his life. He finally turned from a merchant to a founding hero of the Tang Dynasty. However, he didn't expect to meet two sons of a prodigal son, which ruined his reputation for life. Fortunately, Wu Mingkong, the daughter, became an emperor in the original history, which revived the Wu family. However, in this life, with the arrival of Li Xiu, could Wu Mingkong be an emperor like in history? 21019
