Chapter 64: Ear Mention Face
At the end of the hour, Li Shimin walked out of the palace with all 225 people from the left guard. As for the guard of Chongwen Pavilion, it was temporarily handed over to the right guard of the eldest grandson Wuji.
It is impossible for everyone in the palace to participate in the forbidden military school review. If you really want to do this, the defense of the palace will be useless.
Therefore, the big and small readings in the palace over the years are held in several days, and the proofreading is carried out in turn. The right guard of the eldest grandson Wuji was arranged to be held the next day.
Therefore, his future brother-in-law will not be able to come to see his heroic defeat of Prince Kai today.
But it is obvious that Li Shimin's comrades don't see it that way, even including Li Shimin's subordinates. These people have heard about yesterday. The gaze that looked at his boss also became strange.
However, although these people have been tossed by his fierce training in the past two months, because of Li Shimin's generosity, most of the money rewarded by Empress Xiao was distributed by him to his subordinates. Therefore, even if Fan Shixing is like Fan Shixing, a person who has suffered a big loss in the hands of Li Shimin, he does not have any intention of gloating, but is mostly worried.
"Yu Hou doesn't know, Wang Zikai is really powerful. ”
When Fan Shixing said this, he seemed to have palpitations on his shoulder: "I have also been injured in his hands before." ”
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked over with interest: "You still fought with him, when did it happen?"
"It was about two years ago. ”
Fan Shixing recalled: "At that time, I had a brother who had a lifelong relationship and offended Wang Zikai. Later, he was single-handedly blocked by this person in the gambling house, and as a result, our group of seven people worked together, but none of them were his opponents, and he was injured one by one. ”
Speaking of this, a hint of hatred appeared in Fan Shixing's eyes: "That person really has no scruples, among the seven of us, six of us were broken on the spot and were directly crippled, and I was the only one who was lucky enough to survive until Zuo Houwei's people arrived." ”
Left and right Hou Wei, originally left and right Wu Hou Wei, after the Son of Heaven ascended the throne changed to the current name, in charge of the palace, the capital patrol police, Feng Hou, roads, water and grass appropriate, the power and responsibility is about the same as the Han Dynasty Zhi Jinwu (lieutenant).
Li Shimin couldn't help but be taken aback: "All six people are disabled, so no one cares?"
"This prince Kai was extremely careful, not only covered his face, but also used a weapon that he was not accustomed to. We only guess by its body shape and martial arts style, and there is no empirical evidence. ”
Fan Shixing smiled bitterly: "The key is that this guy still has a testimony, saying that he was eating and drinking with people that night and didn't go out." ”
Li Shimin was silent when he heard this, and he had a new understanding of this prince Kai. At this moment, he saw two people standing quietly beside the royal road in front of him.
That was Su Yi and Yang Jishan, at this time the former was triumphant, and the latter had a calm face and a dull look.
Although Li Shimin didn't intend to pay attention to these two annoying flies, these two people were obviously coming for him.
"Li Er, don't say I didn't give you a chance. ”
Su Yi's expression was arrogant, and after Li Shimin approached along the royal road, he rode on his horse and looked down, his eyes full of banter: "As long as you are willing to kowtow today, admit your mistake, beg for mercy, and shout grandpa three times, today's matter can be stopped." ”
Li Shimin couldn't help twitching the corners of his lips, he really didn't bother to talk to this idiot. Not to mention that Prince Kai, he didn't have the ability to force him to the point of kneeling and begging for mercy, even if he had, he wouldn't dare.
If he really dared to do this, his father Li Yuan would have to break his leg first. Recently, although he took the route of turning from martial arts to literature, he is still a martial artist in his bones, and he has the blood of Kansai Jiangmen.
And his clansmen will also be surging and fire him, a guy who has insulted the reputation of his ancestors. Since the generation of Xiliang Taizu, there has never been a precedent for the martial arts Li clan to surrender on the battlefield.
In comparison, the consequences are undoubtedly much more serious.
Su Yi saw that Li Shimin completely regarded him as air, turned a blind eye, and did not feel annoyed, but sneered: "You are hard, I don't know if you can still have such hard bones in the ring." But it doesn't matter, I said it earlier, sooner or later it will make you Li Erlang regret it, and I will also taste what it was like for me to be beaten by you at the beginning. ”
After he finished speaking, he rode away directly. Yang Jishan stayed, looking at Li Shimin thoughtfully: "Weird, I guessed that you wouldn't dare to come today." ”
This sentence had a slight meaning, and Li Shimin finally turned his head and asked with a smile: "Why don't you come?"
"I know that you have asked for the details of this prince Kai, Yuwenshi and Chai Shao, and the eldest grandson Wuji, all of whom are well-informed. ”
Yang Jishan still pondered: "Wang Zikai seems to be arrogant and ruthless, without scruples, but he is actually very treacherous. He went to look for you alone, just to force you to retreat today, he actually didn't want to offend the martial arts Li family. ”
Li Shimin laughed, and his judgment was the same as Yang Jishan's. It seems that the guy in front of him is not too stupid.
"But you're here anyway. ”
When Yang Jishan received this, he had already squinted slightly, and his eyes were full of solemnity: "Do you really have the certainty that the prince of war will win?"
"Who knows, maybe I'm too conceited. ”
Li Shimin said casually: "But one thing can be confirmed, you two, you really provoked me this time." ”
He never takes the initiative to cause trouble, but he just adheres to the principle that people don't offend me, and I don't offend people. But if someone provokes him, he will definitely return the color.
Yang Jishan was taken aback, and looked at Li Shimin in disbelief, thinking to himself, what is the plan of this guy?
But after thinking about it for a while, he calmed down and snorted softly: "Why didn't Erlang talk about killing my family in the imperial camp before? Besides, what kind of thing is you Li Erlang? What can you do if you offend you?"
With that, he rode away. I thought that this guy was only a fifth grade at most, how could he be Wang Zikai's opponent? And his own arrangement was also seamless.
And Li Shimin is just a reserve now, and his father has just entered the capital, even if he is dissatisfied and hateful, he is bound to be helpless against him, why should he scruple?
But in the depths of Yang Jishan's heart, there is a trace of remorse, which breeds in secret. In order to marry Su Yi, he offended this Li Shimin, in the current view, it is certainly beneficial, but in the future, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse-

When Li Shimin took a group of subordinates to the Daxiao field on the left side of the palace, he saw that it was already crowded with people. The number of soldiers left behind in Luoyang by the left and right reserve mansions totaled 18,000 people. Today, 9,000 people will gather here to participate in the review.
And his left guard, which was arranged by the right Beishen Mansion Beishen Zhizhai Dugucheng, was located on the left rear side of the school field. At this time, this one also frowned and said: "I have also heard about Wang Zikai's matter, you really shouldn't come today." Do you know that yesterday, the prince Kai was demoted to a reserve position because of a drunken accident? That guy is coming at you. ”
Li Shimin was also relieved, he had always been very curious before, how could Wang Zikai bully the small with the big and fight him?
The positions of the two are different, and there is no possibility of meeting during the martial arts competition, and the above will not allow it. But if the other party takes the initiative to demote, then it is over.
I don't know what kind of price Yang Jishan and Su Yi paid to make this prince Kai accept this matter?
At the same time, Li Shimin also keenly noticed that this person said that he should not come, but not that he could help or something. But if this person has this sentence, it is enough.
After all, Su Wei, the father of Su Yi, has served as a 'Nayan' for many years. And this position is actually the 'servant' of the previous dynasty and the Wei and Jin dynasties, and he is the chief official of the province under the door. In the case that the Son of Heaven does not set up Shangshu to shoot left and right, this position of 'accepting words' is the substantive prime minister.
As for Yang Jishan's father, Yang Su, it was even more powerful. Even today, the son has successfully ascended the throne with his help.
If these two people want to do anything during the school review, Dugu Cheng can't stop it.
Therefore, Li Shimin's reaction was extremely calm: "Lord Zhizhai doesn't need to worry about me, it's just a prince Kai, and I can't help my younger brother." ”
Li Shimin was a little helpless, since he entered the palace, he has been cared for more than a dozen times, and the same words have been explained to people more than a dozen times.
This is because the Li family has a deep foundation in martial arts, and its relationships in the army are intricate, and there are countless relatives and friends. Even he, a person who had never been to the Eastern Capital in the past few years, could still recognize more than a dozen familiar faces in the left and right mansions.
Dugu Cheng obviously didn't believe his words, and after hearing this, the melancholy in his eyes became even stronger: "You may have some courage, but Wang Zikai is not an ordinary four-grade person, and you must not underestimate him——"
When he said this, he sighed softly: "That's it, you have already come now, and it is useless to say this." Fortunately, your brother-in-law Chai Shao has come forward to ask Pei Xingyan. His father, Pei Renji, the general of Zuo Wuwei, had been appointed by Empress Xiao the day before yesterday to take charge of the referee of the Xiaoyue Exam in the Reserve Mansion today, and he should be able to protect you from harm. ”
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and then chuckled. Although this was completely unnecessary, he still had more good feelings for Chai Shao.
At two o'clock, the 9,400 soldiers of the left and right reserve mansions had all gathered here, and on the school grounds, a large phalanx was listed.
And Nayan Suwei, who was responsible for supervising this small reading, Yu Shiji, the internal history squire, and Xiao Yu, who was also the internal history squire, Dong Chun, the general of the left guard, and Pei Renji, the general of the left military guard, etc., were late. These important ministers of the country, at this time, have no martial arts, they are all dressed in heavy armor, majestic, and calm.
And the last one to come was Empress Xiao, who was in charge of the country on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and the nominal Eastern Capital was left behind, and the second grandson of the emperor, Yang Tong.
