Chapter 69: The Reward of the Empress Xiao
After the sun set and the reading was over, the soldiers of the left guard of Chongwen Pavilion left happily from the school field.
Under Li Shimin, everyone in Zuowei passed the assessment easily. After all, they were all elites selected by the Son of Heaven from the Zhuwei Mansion a few years ago, and they were not yet at the age of weakness and weakness, and these soldiers of the forbidden army were still very reliable in terms of personal combat skills.
As the only one of the 12th brigades that was selected to complete all the battle formations, Empress Xiao even awarded a heavy reward after Xiao Yue. Each of the more than 220 people of the left guard received 50 pieces of silver.
Li Shimin, as the left guard of Chongwen Pavilion, won five thousand guan alone, and the second order of merit. The weight of the reward is appalling. The former is just that, this little reward is not enough for him to buy a few parts. However, the latter caused the eyes of countless colleagues around him, which meant that he only needed to obtain a second-order meritorious service now, and he could be awarded a thousand cattle to prepare himself, or to be released, and he would be awarded the rank of general of the county eagle.
Even if he has no meritorious service in the future, he only needs to wait for four years if he just transfers normally with seniority. At that time, he was only eighteen years old.
Li Shimin himself was quite surprised, he was ordered by his father to enter the palace to take up a post, originally with the intention of making a mess. But now, it seems that his future in the forbidden army seems to be bright.
However, just as they walked out of the forbidden, Fan Shixing suddenly walked a few steps and came to Li Shimin to bow.
"The subordinates are brave, I would like to ask Yu to wait and accept the subordinates as a subordinate!"
When the soldiers of the left guard of Chongwen Pavilion heard this, they all looked back in surprise. Especially Zhang Buzhou and Yuwen Chengguang, who are also team leaders, were both surprised and surprised, but then there was admiration in the eyes of the two of them.
Li Shimin was also slightly stunned, and his eyes were stunned: "Do you want to be my part?" Why do you have such thoughts when Team Fan leads. ”
It is necessary to know that the generals of the world valve seem to be majestic, and they are not treated low, but their essence is still a house slave. How can he get the current Fan Shixing, as a forbidden army rate, with a bright future?
Especially after today's school reading, Fan Shixing also recounted the first order. At this time, it only takes a little promotion from a competent person to be promoted to a lieutenant in the foreign army.
"My subordinates have been good at martial arts since childhood, but they have not yet won a famous teacher. This martial arts are all learned from martial arts halls all over Luoyang, and in the eyes of real masters, they are vulnerable. The subordinates are always annoyed and regretted about this, and they have no way out. ”
Fan Shixing explained without thinking about it, and dissected his mind: "The previous prince Kai, although his subordinates hated him to the bone, but in fact, in his heart, he also regarded him as an example. Born in a poor family, but being able to set foot in the fourth grade before the age of twenty-five is something that many families can't do. But today, he competed with Yu Hou, but he only lost three times. ”
When Li Shimin heard this, he already understood a little: "What do you mean, do you want me to teach you martial arts?"
"Exactly!"
Fan Shixing's spirits perked up, he bowed his body, and bowed heavily in front of Li Shimin: "The subordinates know the rules, and the law of the clan cannot be lightly granted." Therefore, his subordinates also have the plan to be a general. It's just that the master is hard to find, and although his subordinates admire martial arts, they don't want to entrust this good body to the incompetent. Only Yu Hou can make his subordinates feel broken. ”
Li Shimin hesitated for a while, he could see that this guy was indeed sincere. It is also known that this Fan Shixing's roots and bones are excellent, and he is not even inferior to his younger brothers Li Xuanba and Li Daoxuan, but it is a pity that this person has not obtained a superior inheritance, which delays the best time to practice martial arts.
But even with Fan Shixing's basic qualifications, it is very good. As long as you find a suitable exercise for him, and then ask a Master to give him a little more*, this person will still have great hope in the future, advance to the king level, and even hit the super grade.
The problem is that he has no plans to recruit a trilogy master now. When he was transferred to the border army on another day and went out to fight on the side, he would have to be eighteen years old and grow in strength. It seems too early to recruit the trilogy now.
But Li Shimin loves this Fan Shixing very much, this level of qualification is the backbone, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to meet in the future. The latter's earnest tone, almost pleading, also made him unable to refuse.
It's just that he has a precocious and calm temperament, and he doesn't want to agree so hastily.
"Arise, let me think about it. In short, I will give you an answer within three days. ”

In the evening of the same day, Yu Shinan, the resident of the living room, handed over the living record he recorded to the History Museum, and then walked out of the palace, rode his handsome and unusually handsome blood dragon horse, and went home gracefully.
At this time, the soldiers of the forbidden army who passed by around all looked at the mount under him with hot eyes. Especially Dong Chun and Pei Renji, there was almost a flame in their eyes, so hot that it seemed to melt this person one by one.
The Blood Dragon Horse is an exotic horseback riding, which was originally introduced by the Han envoy Zhang Qian when he went to the Western Regions, and within a few years, it became famous in the Central Plains. At this moment, not only can you travel thousands of miles a day, but you can also carry thousands of pounds of heavy objects on the battlefield, galloping for half an hour without worrying about exhaustion.
It's a pity that in the Central Plains, the stallion that has not been able to get the blood dragon foal has made the general of the court want one but cannot get one.
Therefore, these generals of the forbidden army are all envious, like a god horse such as a blood dragon horse, but they are ridden under the crotch of a civilian official who has no power to fight a chicken, which is simply a tyrannical thing.
But helplessly, this brother Yu Shiji is the servant of the internal history, and he is also the head of the five nobles of the dynasty. Now it is full of momentum, directly chasing Yang Su, the Duke of Chu in the past.
If it were someone else, they would have already tried their best to take it by force. can be replaced by this one, even if everyone's eyes are hot, there is nothing they can do.
Yu Shinan didn't care about the gaze of these people. He passed by the shops on Xishi Street along the way, bought a few scallion oil sesame cakes, first ate one for himself, and put the remaining three in his bag, ready to take them back to his wife.
At this time, his brother Yu Shiji, although he was in power, Yu Shinan still lived in Dunhoufang on the edge of Beishi, and was content with poverty.
And when he returned to the mansion and was about to take out the scallion oil sesame cake that his wife loved to eat, he found that his wife was sitting behind the desk, listlessly sewing clothes, especially the delicate little face that was about to wrinkle into a lump and looked uncertain.
"Asu, what happened, why are you so sad?"
Yu Shinan couldn't help frowning slightly, hurriedly handed over the schoolbag he was carrying to the servant, and sat down next to the girl.
This is his current wife, Xue Su, the granddaughter of Sili Doctor Xue Daoheng.
He lost his wife in middle age and married Xue Su as a continuation. Because he missed his wife like a flower and followed him, a half-hundred-year-old man, Yu Shinan loved this newlywed wife very much.
In addition, the two of them have not been married long ago, and it is like glue.
"Lang Jun is back?"
When Xue Su saw her husband returning, she immediately put down the needle and thread in her hand, took the cloth towel handed by the maid, wiped her hands for Yu Shinan, and then poured him a cup of tea with her sleeves, and then barely squeezed out a smile, "It's not a big deal, it's just a little leisure for my best Guanyin." ”
"Guanyin's niece?" Yu Shinan's eyes showed a look of surprise: "It's for marriage, right?"
"Isn't it?" Xue Su sighed: "Her father ordered her a family business since she was a child, but she just looked away. This person is a young man, and he has been praised by the late Duke of Chu. But when he grows up, he is a prodigal who does not learn and has no skills, with a corrupt character and a bad reputation. I heard today that the gentleman seems to be in trouble again, and he is hated by others. I heard that there are several noble sons in the palace today, and they want to join forces to deal with this person, but I don't know what is going on with this guy now. ”
Yu Shinan raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing this, and he already had some strange premonitions in his heart: "Do you also know that Xiaoyue in the palace today?
Xue Su glanced at him with a slight disdain, and said with sorrow: "You don't know, this person is Li Shimin, the second son of the Tang family's second son. ”
As soon as her words fell, Yu Shinan couldn't help but squirt out a sip of tea.
Xue Su was stunned, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his cuffs to wipe it for her husband: "What's wrong with you? ”
Yu Shinan took a lot of effort to recover his strength, and wiped his mouth with a smile and said, "It's okay, it's okay, you say that this Li Shimin doesn't learn and has no skills, and his reputation is notorious?"
"I've inquired carefully, and that's what the world says. ”
Xue Su didn't pay attention to her husband's expression: "There are even rumors that this person was jealous of his younger brother's talent and intelligence when he was a child, and pushed his third brother into the river. ”
"The old man finally knows what it means to be a tiger in three people, hearsay. ”
Yu Shinan shook his head slightly: "Don't worry about your sister's affairs, Su'er won't care, it may not be her blessing." ”
"Why?" Xue Su glanced at Yu Shinan in astonishment, "What are you talking nonsense?"
Yu Shinan sighed slightly: "Li Erlang is ruthless, and it may be possible to push his younger brother into the river." But he is not what you say, nor is he unlearned. is obviously a deeply hidden, longzhang phoenix talent, how can you say that it is so unbearable?"
Xue Su's eyes widened slightly when he heard this, and his eyes were full of disbelief: "Husband, you are not the same person as me, right? I heard that this Li Shimin has been disgusted by Tang Guogong since he was a child, and his martial arts have also taken a crooked path, and he has been abandoning himself for a long time, what else can such a person do?"
"Why isn't it a person? Li Jiaerlang, nicknamed Vilu Sha, isn't it? Asu, since this is a rumor, you can't believe it. I think it's quite suspicious that Li Erlang has such a reputation at a young age. Most of the time he was young and didn't know how to restrain, and he was hated by others. ”
Yu Shinan disagreed, and shook his head for a while: "You don't know, today he was reading in the palace, not only in the military drill, but also in the military drill. Today, he is even more powerful against the four products, and he wins with three combinations, and his skills are astonishing! Not to mention that those soldiers admire him so much that they throw themselves to the ground, even the nobles of the DPRK and the Central People... Even the queen and the emperor and grandson are full of praise for him!"
"Is that so?"
Xue Su looked suspicious, and looked suspicious: "Is this really the case?"
