Joy of Life: Rebirth of the Second Prince, Inviting Emperor Qing to Die

Chapter 417: Suitable Candidates for the "Marshal" Expedition

A little before.

Li Chengru was in the yard, waving his fists constantly, practicing the "Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand" he had practiced.

Some time ago, after taking the medicine that Li Chengze helped to prepare, his illnesses were completely cured.

Not only that, but even his strength in walking and practicing martial arts has increased a lot.

What made Li Chengru most excited was the "Tianshan Plum Blossom Hands" that the second brother had given him before.

This martial art may seem simple, but it contains great power, which amazed him.

Although he has not yet mastered his cultivation, his strength has already improved significantly.

I really don't know where the second brother got this martial arts secret book from.

The more Li Chengru watched, the happier he felt, and he was very excited when practicing.

Moreover, in his heart at this moment, he still felt very lucky for his previous choice.

If he had not stood by the second brother at that time, there would probably not be the result today.

Not to mention, he is about to be crowned king.

This is a much more carefree and happy life than when the late emperor was alive.

at this time.

Li Chengping and Li Hongcheng walked in from outside the yard.

"Big brother!"

Li Chengping was the first to say hello.

"Brother." Li Hongcheng also nodded to him.

When Li Chengru heard the conversation between the two, he immediately stopped what he was doing, nodded to them, and said, "You are here."

After Li Chengping walked into the yard, he said, "Brother, you haven't gone out these past few days. You always stay in the yard and don't come out."

"You are not thinking of secretly practicing martial arts so that you can participate in the competition, are you?"

Some time ago, the new emperor issued an edict to hold a martial arts competition in Kyoto.

Regardless of one's status, as long as one is not a perpetrator of a heinous crime and is capable, one can participate.

If you win the first dish, you will have a chance to rise to the top and become a general who kills the enemy in battle.

Therefore, the city of Kyoto now seems very lively, with pedestrians passing everywhere on the streets.

Seeing that the boss had not spoken in recent days, Li Chengping naturally thought of this reason.

As a result, Li Chengru did not quibble and admitted it directly.

"Yes, I do have this idea."

After Li Chengru stretched his body a few times, he immediately took a standard horse stance and said:
"As a man, who doesn't want a chance to fight in battle?"

"Even if I die on the battlefield, I will not hesitate."

"Brother, that being said." Li Chengping nodded and said, "If you want to lead troops to fight, why don't you just talk to my second brother?"

“By then, even though I won’t be able to become a marshal or a general, being named a general of the left or right wing should be more than enough.”

Li Chengru shook his head and said, "I just don't want to do this, so I'm participating in this martial arts competition."

“If a person wants to get something, it only makes sense if he fights hard for it.”

"Otherwise, life would be so boring."

However, Li Chengping sat lazily under the eaves, shook his head, and looked at Li Hongcheng beside him, asking him whether he understood.

Li Hongcheng also shook his head, indicating that he didn't know what it meant.

"I really don't understand what the boss is thinking." Li Chengping sighed helplessly, "There is a shortcut, but he chose to take the long way around."

Li Chengru disagreed and continued to practice "Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand".

As his palm strikes became faster and faster, his moves became more and more brilliant, dazzling the onlookers.

Li Chengping, who was originally looking a little bored, and Li Hongcheng next to him were both stunned. Such a fast and beautiful palm technique.

Even though neither of them was proficient in martial arts, they could still feel the powerful deterrent force in the scene just now.

Even the maids and palace maids nearby came over and looked at the scene before them.

After a while.

After finishing this set of boxing, Li Chengru started to rest directly.

At this time, Li Chengping, Li Hongcheng, as well as the palace maids and eunuchs, all clapped and cheered excitedly.

"Brother, that's great!"

"That move you just made was really powerful. We didn't see it clearly."

"That's right, let's do it again so that we can enjoy the sight."

"Okay." Li Chengru nodded and prepared to continue.

Anyway, I have nothing to do now, so I might as well play a few more sets.

However, just as Li Chengru raised his hand to start, he saw Li Chengze walking towards him from outside the yard.

He quickly put away his posture, bowed and said to Li Chengze: "Your Majesty, I greet you."

Li Chengping, who was originally sitting lazily under the eaves, suddenly changed his expression, and hurriedly stood up from the ground, bowed and said.

"Your Majesty, I greet you."

"Your Majesty, I greet you."

The palace maids and eunuchs nearby also quickly knelt on the ground and bowed:

"This servant greets your majesty."

Li Chengze, wearing a large golden dragon robe and with his hands behind his back, walked in front of the crowd.

Then he nodded and said, "No need to be polite, everyone is up."

"Yes." Everyone began to respond.

The eunuchs and palace maids who crawled up from the ground left in a hurry, not daring to stay here any longer.

At this time, Li Chengru asked, "Your Majesty, why did you come here in person? If there is anything, just send someone over to give instructions."

Li Chengping, who was standing by, also nodded and agreed, "Big brother is right. Second brother, you are the emperor now. You can't be like before. Time is precious."

However, Li Chengze waved his hands and laughed, "Stop talking nonsense. We are not in court now, so what is the position?"

"I've said it before, we are king and subject on the surface, but we are still brothers in private."

"Why are you putting on airs when you're with your own brothers?"

After Li Chengze finished speaking, the four of them smiled at each other.

At this time, Li Hongcheng said, "Second brother, you came to see eldest brother today, isn't it because he wants to participate in the martial arts competition?"

"What?" Li Chengze asked in confusion, "Boss is going to participate in the martial arts competition?"

"What are you doing at the tournament?"

Li Chengze came to see Li Chengru this time because there was indeed something important.

When the army sets out next month, generals and vanguard officers can be directly elected from the martial arts competition.

But the position of marshal who commands the three armies cannot be so careless.

This is in charge of the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and the outcome of the war, so it must be handed over to the person you trust the most.

So, after much thought, Li Chengze decided that only the eldest brother Li Chengru was the most suitable for the position of marshal.

First of all, Li Chengru used to guard the border often and made many military achievements. He was very good at leading troops to fight, so his ability was naturally not a problem.

This time, he was the emperor's elder brother and a legitimate royal family member. Even if he stood inside the military camp, no one dared to say anything.
