Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

After Hu Dahai passed away, Li Ling gave him three feet of imperial land in the southwest corner of the imperial mausoleum and buried him with his late wife.

Jingshu brought the children into the palace. Mrs. Hu gave birth to a total of six sons for Hu Dahai. The eldest son was seventeen, the second son was fifteen years old, the third son was ten years old, the fourth son was seven years old and Ji'er was the same age, and the fifth son was fourteen years old. Years old, and one day old that is less than half a year old.

On the day when the children entered the palace, Li Ling left Qinzheng Hall early for the first time. When he returned to Jiaofang Hall, Jing Shu was talking to several children.

These children lost their mother and father. These children are really pitiful. But fortunately, the temperament of these children all followed their father's. They are carefree and cheerful. Although they are sad and sad, they are not like other children who cry with self-pity. .

 The condition of the children was beyond Li Ling's expectation. Seeing that they were all well, Li Ling's originally worried heart was relieved.

Jing Shu had a kind face, and the children were in a relaxed state when they talked to her just now. After seeing Li Ling come in, they all closed their mouths and their expressions became tense. The husband of the Hu family took the lead and turned towards Li Ling. After giving the gift, the younger brothers followed suit.

Li Ling helped several children up. The children lined up in front of Li Ling. Li Ling looked at the brothers carefully. Seeing that the children were all born exactly like Hu Dahai, Li Ling couldn't help but miss his old friend. .

He was sad in his heart, but it didn't show on his face at all. He first asked Hu Dalang: "Wenxuan, what books have you read?"

 When mentioning this, Hu Wenxuan immediately lowered his head and replied like a mosquito: "Since the year before last, my father has not allowed me to study."

Although Hu Dahai is a rough man, he has always hoped that his sons can study well.

Li Ling was surprised when he heard this and said, "Why doesn't your father allow you to study?"

Hu Dalang's face turned red. He wanted to tell a lie, but seeing the majesty of the emperor, he immediately suppressed the thought and said truthfully: "I don't like reading. The teacher in the school has to force me to recite, but I can't recite it." He wanted to hit me on the palm of my hand, so I hit the husband on impulse." As he said that, he glanced at Li Ling's face and muttered in a low voice: "I was young and not very sensible at that time."

Li Ling asked again: "What books did you read when you were in private school?"

Dalang lowered his head and replied like a mosquito: "After reading "Three Hundred Thousands", Mr. asked me to read something like "On the Rain", but it was just like that. I didn't understand a word of it, so I just learned it." From the beginning, I won’t learn anymore.”

Li Ling sighed in his heart, but his face remained as usual, and asked Dalang again: "How about martial arts? What have you learned?"

When Dalang heard Li Ling mention martial arts, he immediately became energetic, his eyes were shining brightly, and his voice suddenly became louder when he spoke. He replied eloquently: "Father hired a martial arts master for me. I am now ten years old." I am proficient in all kinds of weapons. My father also teaches me swordsmanship whenever he is at home. My swordsmanship is now not inferior to that of my father. Uncle Liang started teaching me swordsmanship twice a month last year, and I can learn it now. Okay." He looked proud and said to Li Ling: "I learned two tricks from Uncle Liang when he took me into the palace just now. I will go to the yard to show off to Your Majesty."

With that said, he strode out quickly. Li Ling called him back and said, "I will see your martial arts another day."

Dalang is about to reach adulthood and his temperament and hobbies have been finalized. At this time, it is impossible to force him to study and learn. Rather than forcing him to do what he wants, it is better to give full play to his expertise.

Li Ling looked at Dalang and said, "Since you like to practice martial arts, I will assign you to the city inspection department."

As soon as Li Ling finished speaking, Da Lang said excitedly: "Is your Majesty telling the truth?"

Li Ling's face darkened and he replied: "I haven't finished speaking yet, so don't make any random decisions."

Dalang nodded in agreement hurriedly, staring at Li Ling with expectant eyes. Li Ling glanced at him, and then said: "The current commander of the City Patrol Division, General Zhou Jin, is one of the best in Daqi in terms of martial arts. He He will teach you the Zhou family's marksmanship, which is a martial art passed down by the Zhou family alone, so you must not let him down."

Dalang felt happy and nodded in agreement.

Although this child's etiquette is poor, it is important to listen to instruction. Just now Li Ling warned him not to talk casually, so he took it to heart. Li Ling was satisfied, and his tone of voice softened, and he added: "Your father and I used to be on duty in the City Patrol Division. The City Patrol Division was the elite of the Qi Dynasty and was the last line of defense to guard the imperial city. The officers and soldiers serving there are all top-notch people. Your father is brave and has always enjoyed a good reputation in the city patrol department. Wherever you go, you must listen to General Zhou and don't disgrace your father's reputation. Do you understand?"

Dalang nodded hurriedly again, and Li Ling suppressed a smile and said, "I have finished speaking, you can speak now."

Dalang hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will definitely learn martial arts well when I get there. I will go into battle to kill the enemy in the future and my reputation will spread far and wide."

Li Ling smiled and nodded, then patted his shoulder and said: "Your father entrusted your brothers to me, and I will recognize you as my adopted sons. From now on, like the prince, princess and King Qin, you will call me your father." Your Majesty, please call the Queen your mother."

Dalang felt a little embarrassed for a moment, and his face was as red as a monkey's butt.

Li Ling frowned and asked: "Your father has already agreed to something, so what? You are still unwilling?"

Jingshu smiled and said to Li Ling: "The children have just entered the palace. Your Majesty, don't be anxious. Let them get used to it for a while."

Dalang smiled kindly at Jingshu, then looked at Li Ling and replied: "My father often praised Your Majesty in front of my brother and me when he was alive. My father said that Your Majesty is an unparalleled hero and the most powerful person in the world. people."

Li Ling smiled and joked: "I guess your father is discerning."

Dalang smiled naively, and then said: "Since my father asked us to recognize your majesty as our adoptive father, then we should just obey our father's orders."

Li Ling burst out laughing, hit Dalang on the shoulder gently but not hard, and scolded him with a smile: "You brat, you are still reluctant to let me be your foster father."

 “That’s not true.” Dalang scratched his head naively.

Li Ling said with a smile: "Although you will be in the City Patrol Department from now on, you will have to return to the palace every ten days. I will personally test what you have learned." As he said that, Li Ling looked at the few young ones aside and asked Said: "What about you? Are you willing to be my adopted son?"

Sanlang, Shilang and Wulang were still young. Seeing that their eldest brother agreed, they all nodded and said they were willing. Only Erlang had a stern face.

Li Ling looked at Erlang and asked, "Wen Zhong, are you unwilling?"

Erlang replied sharply: "If your Majesty allows me not to study, but also sends me to the City Patrol Department, and lets General Zhou teach me marksmanship, and General Liang teaches me swordsmanship, then I will be willing to recognize you as my godfather."

Jing Shu and Zi Yun were so teased by Erlang that they couldn't help laughing, but Li Ling's face darkened and he simply refused: "I can't promise you. From tomorrow on, you have to go to the study for me." Go study."

Erlang raised his head and said, "Then I won't recognize you."

Li Ling laughed angrily, and he said angrily to Erlang: "Your father promised to give you to me as my adopted son, and I also agreed to adopt you as my son. You have to be willing if you want, and you have to be willing if you don't. From tomorrow on, you will I have to behave myself and go to the study to study."

As he said that, Li Ling looked at Sanlang and Shilang again: "You also have to go to school and study hard. If anyone dares to be naughty, I will beat them up."

He only touched Kogoro's head and said gently: "You are still young, but you can still play for a few more years."
