0014 A litter of chicks
Li Tong was awakened while sleeping, his mind was dizzy. When he opened his eyes, he saw a large-faced plate covered with sweat stains leaning against his head, and subconsciously raised his legs and kicked him.
"Good boy, how dare you plot against brother! If you don't count this time, let's compete with each other! If you win, I will be your brother in the future!"
Li Shouli was caught off guard and was kicked out of bed. However, after rolling through the road, a string of stains suddenly left on the newly-paid floor mat.
The boy's sweat was covered in dust and sweat, and he was rubbing against the mat. He didn't feel embarrassed, and he jumped up, and there was even mud and sand under his boots.
Li Tong woke up now. When he saw this scene, he felt his head hurt. Although he had no obsession with cleanliness, he saw that the brand new room was ruined by this mud monkey, and he was pitiful to this kid's life experience. He only felt that if he was Wu Zetian, he would definitely beat him every day!
Li Shouli didn't know Li Tong's thoughts. He said a few provocations that he had no reaction when he saw Li Tong's reaction, but just stared at him, feeling boring. He sat cross-legged on the ground, with mud on his boots directly smeared on his trouser legs and didn't care. It seemed that he was running over with mud.
"Haha, brother, I know that your serious illness has been cured and I will not bully you. I will fight after you have recovered from your health!"
Li Shouli obviously has not yet entered a state of being imprisoned, which shows that his nerves are quite large. It must be noted that their family has been taken back since Li Xian's death. More than three years have passed since now, and they still look carefree.
He came forward with a smile and pulled Li Tong and said, "I went to the Empress's House to find you, but I was scolded. The Empress also told me not to come and ask you. Brother, you are not ignorant of your personality. Xunnu, you don't know the inside story. How can I sleep? Tell me boldly, if you anger the Empress, Brother, will be beaten on your behalf!"
Hearing this, Li Tong couldn't help but guess that this kid would be beaten into a barometer of the human body in the future. In addition to the cruel officials, Fang's family law punishment also accounted for a large proportion.
He could not be familiar with this brother who was related to blood, but when he saw the other party trampling his bedroom so dirty, he couldn't help but open his mouth and said, "Li Jizi, if you dare to rush into my bedroom and paint it in the future, I will never say anything more to you!"
Li Tong's nickname is Xunnu, Ji Zi is Li Shouli's nickname, and their elder brother Li Guangshun's nickname is A Dai. This is something Li Tong remembered when he first met his family. He didn't know what the relationship between these nicknames was, but after a moment of slept, he became clearer and suddenly realized that these three nicknames were all related to cockfighting!
Li Guangshun’s nickname is called Dariru Muji, and the person who trained this Dariru Chicken was called Ji Qizi. As for Li Tong’s nickname, Xunnu, Xunyu is a chicken. Simply put, in the eyes of their son Li Xian, there are three brothers, two little chickens, and one trains the chicken.
The Tang people were competitive and fond of fighting, and fighting cocks was a popular entertainment activity. Therefore, the prince Li Xian was a heavy enthusiast. How much did he love? Let’s put it this way, because Li Xian loved fighting cocks, it may indirectly affect the opening of the golden age of Tang poetry for decades later!
Wang Bo, among the four sons of the early Tang Dynasty, was conquered and demoted by Li Xian's hobby. Wang Bo became famous when he was young, and was later summoned to the mansion by Li Xian, who was named King Pei at that time, to serve as a minister. He wrote "The Edict of the King of Ying" by King of Ying. King of Ying was the third son of Wu Zetian, Li Xian, who angered Emperor Gaozong and demoted him. Wang Bo's manifesto may be called the two major traffic manifesto in the Tang Dynasty, along with Luo Binwang, another son of the fourth son of the early Tang Dynasty, Luo Binwang.
Li Xian not only harmed Wang Bo, but also continued this evil taste to his children.
Li Tong has no way to change what has happened, but the only thing he is angry about is why he and Li Guangshun are both chickens while Li Shouli is scolding chickens?
Seeing this kid so nervous, he would probably bring all his brothers into the ditch if he trained. It can be seen that Li Xianzhi was not aware of people. In Li Tong's opinion, Li Guangshun's nickname Ah Dai was the only one who arranged Li Shouli's name as his name.
"Ah, ha? How dare you talk to brother like this? You are afraid that you have forgotten that my divine fist is strong!"
When Li Shouli heard this, he immediately hummed and jumped up again, waving his fists as a threat.
Li Tong rolled his eyes and said, "Aren't you curious about what I said to the Empress? Then I will tell you that I was sick and left my soul the night before, and was attracted by Aye, and taught me a lot. Aye also told me that Jizi was very stupid and asked me to discipline me well. Do you listen to Aye's words?"
"I, I...you are a lie, so I won't believe it!"
After hearing this, Li Shouli was stunned for a moment, then waved and shouted.
Li Tong was a little surprised when he heard this. His words scared many people, especially his mother Fang, who believed it. Unexpectedly, Li Shouli was not effective. Could it be that this kid just looked rough on the surface, but in fact he was very wise and stupid inside?
"Unless you tell me, why did Aye call me Kiko!"
Li Shouli shouted with his neck stammering again.
Damn, it's too early to praise it!
If it were just now, Li Tong would have to think about it, and he would just say it out loud.
After hearing this, Li Shouli suddenly realized: "So that's it! No wonder Brother called Ah Dai. If Ah Ye hadn't told you, who would have thought of it?"
When Li Tong heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched. Who would have thought of except you? How ignorant is he who can express such soulful feelings? No wonder Fang said before that he was ashamed that he was not well educated for their brothers. Now it seems that this shame is really not humility.
However, before he finished his feelings, Li Shouli was already sad and covered his face and cried: "Aye, Aye... Why are you willing to see Xunnu and not want to see me? I am just a little naughty, not as good as a brother... You told me to protect my empress and brothers at a young age, and I remember it all in my heart..."
Li Tong was startled by howling, and heard footsteps at the door of the room. It seemed that the busy palace maid in the yard was also alarmed. He hurriedly stepped forward to cover Li Shouli's mouth and scolded: "Don't cry anymore. Aye's advice should not be told to outsiders! The forbidden area is full of bad eyes and ears, and he will harm my family. You have to listen to me for what you say or do in the future. This is Aye's advice!"
"Um...I, I listen, listen to you, I listen to Aye..."
Li Shouli stammered and struggled. Only after hearing this Aye's advice, he nodded obediently, wiped the tears in his eyes, sobbed for a while, staring at Li Tong with his eyes full of pursuit and nostalgia. It can be seen that this boy was not heartless, and his true admiration for his father was pitiful.
However, Li Tong soon realized that any conclusion about this boy was too early. After sobbing for a while, Li Shouli wanted to speak but stopped, but he couldn't help it. He leaned over to Li Tong and whispered: "Xunnu, have you heard Aye talk about the old things? Earlier in Bazhong, Aye promised to give me two armors. Did he talk about where to collect them?"
Li Tong patted the big baby's shoulder speechlessly, feeling grateful to his deceased father, Li Xian, who was really well-educated. Why didn't he slap this kid to death at that time? He grew a head and looked tall. Don't you think about why they were so heartless and gave you two armors?
After fully realizing the nature of Li Shouli, Li Tong said unwillingly: "Aye's advice, I don't know how much you can follow, so I will try you now. From now on, if you change your small characters, you will be called Xunnu."
He didn't think that the nickname of Kiko was nice, but he simply didn't want to be a little boy trained by Li Shouli.
After hearing this, Li Shouli lowered his head and pondered. After a while, he looked embarrassed: "This is not possible. The small words are made by Aye. If they were replaced, he would not know. This time he saw you, it is hard to guarantee that he would not look for me in the future. When he came to attract the soul, he called Jizi and Jizi in his mouth, you were called again..."
Ahhhh!
Children's words are ruthless!
Li Tong was really convinced by this guy and waved his hand and said, "Forget it, pretend I haven't said it."
"I'm not a deaf person, so how can you hear what you say! I, I'm not not listening to Aye's advice, but you can change it. If you ask me to dance, I can turn it forward, backward, and sideways!"
Rejecting this request, Li Shouli looked shy and turned and slapped his chest and made a promise.
Li Tong had no interest in playing with monkeys with chicken feathers, and now he was completely sleepy: "Forget it, let's go back in the future. If you really turn it over, I don't know what you're smearing my room."
While speaking, he stood up and walked out of the room. Seeing this, Li Shouli hurriedly followed behind and even stood on tiptoe so as not to add more stains. It can be seen that he really remembered the previous guarantee in his heart.
In the courtyard, Zheng Jin was still busy directing the palace maids to clean up. Li Tong waved his hand and called a palace maid with green skirts and buns in the corridor, and ordered the other party to clean the room.
Li Shouli stood behind him and said with a solemn look on his face: "Sweep cleaner, don't leave dirt to disturb my third brother!" Hearing the tone, the dirt in the room had nothing to do with him.
At this moment, another person came to the small bridge on the east side, and their elder brother Li Guangshun. Seeing Li Tong and Li Shouli standing together in the corridor, Li Guangshun nodded from afar and accelerated his foot.
Li Xian had three sons and one daughter, the eldest son Li Guangshun was born in the Xianheng period, around 673 AD. Li Shouli and Li Tong were born in the same year, both in the second year of Shangyuan. Li Shouli was born at the beginning of the year, and Li Shouyi was born in May of the recent year, which was also the former crown prince. The year when Emperor Xiaojing Li Hong died, shortly after Li Shouyi was born, Li Xian became the new crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.
After becoming the prince, he probably had too much energy and had no new children. It was not until he was detained that he had another young daughter in Chang'an residence.
In short, Li Guangshun was only less than two years older than Li Tong and the others, but as Li Tong saw, the calmness and rituals shown by this elder brother were much more mature than the successor Li Shouli.
The filial piety emperor Li Hong had no children. Li Guangshun can be said to be the eldest grandson of Li Zhi and Wu Zetian. Although he was only a concubine, why did he show that he was so unattended? Not only could he not succeed him, but he was even beaten to death by cruel officials afterwards?
