Chapter 126: The princess asks for advice
After Li Xuanba finished speaking, he followed Li Shimin's line of sight again, and the ridicule on his face was even stronger: "These guys, they can only bully Jiangnan clans like Wuxing Chen, you let them provoke our martial arts Li clan to try? It's you, second brother, aren't they also avoiding it now and don't dare to make a mistake?"
After the fall of the Chen Dynasty, Chen Shuming's Wuxing Chen clan was still active in the court of the Great Sui as a great clan in the south of the Yangtze River.
However, in order to prevent the suspicion of the Son of Heaven, few people in the Wuxing Chen clan have contact with military power, and the private soldiers and generals in the clan are also the smallest number in the Jiangnan clan. Unlike their Tang State Mansion, at this time, there were more than 800 people just pro-soldier generals.
And the worship masters who have cultivated to the second grade have as many as seven people. There are also five people in the clan who have cultivated to the first grade!
As for his second brother, he has been safe and sound lately, and he hasn't met a single assassin. Obviously, it was the battle of Longmen Bridge that had made the people of the 'Nine Prisons' retreat.
But after Li Shimin heard this, he glanced at his third brother with the eyes of an idiot, and then shook his head: "After returning home, I will ask my father for instructions, and ask you to copy the grandson, Sun Bin, Wu Zi, Liu Tao, Wei Yizi, and Sima Fa ten times, and I will personally supervise them! Third brother, since you want to join the army, you must not be so-so in military affairs." ”
Li Xuanba was confused, his eyes full of grievances. Fan Shixing, who was still on the side, couldn't stand it, and reminded in a low voice: "I think the lord, maybe you are worried that someone in the court wants to take advantage of the rebellion in the capital and plan something, right? The surprise attack of the White Horse Temple, as well as the turmoil in the city now, is not like a force in the rivers and lakes can do it." It is said that at that time, there were seven people in this sect who were superb, Shi Tanluan, Shi Dao Xuan, and the two masters and apprentices were all supreme masters. But even with such a force, when they were ordered to purge by the first emperor, they failed to set off any storms in the capital. ”
Li Shimin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, glanced at Fan Shixing with deep meaning in his eyes, and thought to himself that this guy is indeed worthwhile, not only is he talented in martial arts, but his mind is not simple.
Li Xuanba is also not a fool, but he has never thought about it. He first paused in place, stared at his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, and then gasped: "Could it be Kansai Jiangmen? These guys are so bold!"
He didn't think about it before, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel frightened, which was far more profound than Fan Shixing's thoughts.
Li Xuanba thought to himself that this was clearly someone who wanted to take advantage of the turmoil in the capital to interfere in the war situation in Liaodong!
He thought that if he were the Son of Heaven, what kind of judgment would he make after hearing about the turmoil in Beijing and the situation was dangerous?
There were only two possibilities, one was to end the Goguryeo war as soon as possible, and the other was to return to the division from the early war.
It is clear that there are people in the DPRK who do not want to see the Son of Heaven and win a great victory in Liaodong.
Speaking of which, he had thought it strange before, no matter how strong the strength of the 'Nine Prisons' was, how could they be so presumptuous in this eastern capital?
I'm afraid that this is not only the power of the 'Nine Prisons', but also the secret help of the family's lords. And the Kansai generals, who are intertwined with forces in the army, undoubtedly have the biggest suspicion.
Then Li Xuanba looked suspicious again, wondering if he was also involved?
Speaking of the Heavenly Family, their martial arts Li clan is also quite resentful.
"My father is calm and reasonable, and this matter must have nothing to do with our family, but—"
Li Shimin glanced at the many nobles around him lightly: "But the rest, it's hard to say." ”
Kanto has the Dugu clan, the Yuan clan, the Tuoba clan, the Hongnong Yang clan, the Dou clan, the Yuwen clan, etc., who knows how many are involved?
Since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, the Kansai Jiangmen has been repeatedly suppressed by the two emperors of the Sui Dynasty. After His Majesty ascended the throne today, he even did not hesitate to move the capital of the Great Sui Emperor to Luoyang in disguise, just to get rid of the constraints of the Guanxi Generals, especially the Eight Pillars and the Twelve Great Generals.
In addition, those Kanto gate valves are not impossible.
The purpose of today's imperial examination system is well known to passers-by.
This made Li Shimin feel extremely disgusted by the perception of the so-called world-lord wealthy families in the DPRK and China.
It is normal for these families to want to fight for power and profit, and they want to inherit their family lineage, so that their descendants can enjoy glory and wealth from generation to generation.
But what they did for this was to lose the bottom line they should have.
As far as Li Shimin knows, today's battle in Liaodong is far from being as easy as outsiders imagine.
In the battle of forcibly crossing the Liao River alone, there was the right guard general Mai Tiecane, and Wu Benlang killed Qian Shixiong and Meng Jincha.
The former is a high-level super-grade and has been a king-level warrior of Megatron for nearly 20 years, while the latter two are also second-grade martial artists, with strong strength and brilliant achievements. And the soldiers under their jurisdiction are the elite of the Yulin Army, and their combat power is the best among all armies. But this time, on the east bank of the Liao River, the whole army was annihilated.
From this, it can be seen that the Goguryeo army is also a strong army, and it is by no means a weak army.
It is also conceivable that once there is any accident in this battle of Liaodong, I don't know how many people of the Great Sui will die in a foreign land.
For the sake of their own power and wealth, these people can treat hundreds of thousands of lives as if they were nothing!
After that, the two brothers were silent all the way, speechless all the way. It wasn't until he returned to the door of the Tang State Mansion that Li Xuanba asked again: "I heard that the little princess has been going to Chongwen Pavilion to look for you every day and let you teach you your homework?"
Hearing Li Xuanba mention this matter, Li Shimin couldn't help but smile with a complicated expression. This is another trouble he is facing in the palace now.
——Since being lifted by Her Royal Highness the Queen half a month ago, the little princess has been like a bird that has been released.
However, this one may be aware of the danger outside the palace, and now he no longer thinks about leaving the palace, but instead targets him. took the homework as an excuse, and came to Chongwen Pavilion every other day.
But this little girl, who is less than ten years old, what homework can she ask him?
Literate and hyphenated, Yang Ying has his own famous teacher to guide him, and the female red needlework is not his strength. Li Shimin is good at nothing more than military strategy, martial arts, and armor-making skills, as for literature, he can only be regarded as a little hunting, far inferior to his brother Li Jiancheng. However, in calligraphy, he has some attainments.
Li Shimin has liked Wang Youjun's calligraphy since he was a child, and often copied it, and even integrated it into his own style on the skeleton of Wang's font. He was once praised by Dou Wei himself, saying that his pen is strong and strong, and he is bold and bold.
As far as calligraphy is concerned, this is a very good evaluation, especially when it was Dou Wei, who was hidden as the leader of the Chinese world, who said this, and it was even more golden.
And Yang Ying asked him for advice, which was the three things of military strategy, martial arts and calligraphy.
Li Shimin really didn't want to have anything to do with this wayward little princess, but after 'consulting' with Yu Wenshi, he had to be patient and began to take on the role of 'teacher'.
According to the decree conveyed by his friend Her Royal Highness the Empress, it is better to let her learn something quietly than to let Yang Ying mess around in the palace every day, or plan to leave the palace.
Since Yang Ying is willing to learn from Li Shimin, then he will try his best to teach well.
However, he really didn't understand what Yang Ying wanted to do to learn military strategy, so he didn't bother to deal with it at all in this regard. However, in martial arts and calligraphy, Li Shimin is quite dedicated.
Yang Ying is a weak woman and a nobleman from a heavenly family, so it is unnecessary to learn martial arts. But the folk customs of the Great Sui Dynasty inherited the Wei and Zhou dynasties, and they all inherited the Xianbei legacy, and there were many noble women who were skilled in bows and horses, and their achievements in martial arts were not inferior to men.
And the ancestor of the Heavenly Family, although it is a branch of the Hongnong Yang family, was also the top Jiangmen in Kansai. It's still okay to learn some martial arts to defend yourself.
The excuse of this little princess is that when she is in danger again in the future, she will not be defenseless.
However, the main reason why Li Shimin will do his best is that Yang Ying has successively brought him the practice cheats, as well as many practice notes of his predecessors, with a total number of hundreds of books.
——These are all from the inner courtyard of Chongwen Pavilion, the top martial arts secrets. Even if it is placed in the martial arts Li family, it must be regarded as a secret book of family heirlooms.
But this little princess didn't take it seriously at all, and casually threw it in front of Li Shimin's eyes and asked him to help explain.
After all, these martial arts secret books are too advanced for her, and Yang Ying doesn't know which of these advanced martial arts exercises are
Li Shimin is happy to be like this, he has peace of mind and takes these as one of his rewards.
At this time, the body of his major has been decided, and he can't change it. But just the cultivation methods of these top-level exercises can benefit him a lot and open his eyes.
What's more, in addition to this, there are hundreds of practice notes. Among them, there are even handwritten quotations of twelve great masters since the Eastern Han Dynasty.
- A character of this level, even if he only leaves a few words, will make the later people take many detours on the road of martial arts.
Their value, in the eyes of some people, is even higher than those top-level exercises.
Li Shimin is by no means a conformist character, a long time ago, he had thought of using the stones of his mountain to attack his own jade. Use the method of learning from others to perfect your own incomplete 'Five Rounds of Divine Qi'.
But the martial arts secret books of the Li clan were not enough to support his vision. And although the collection of books in the east and west courtyards of Chongwen Pavilion is as vast as the sea, it is too low-end.
At this time, the little princess's actions can be said to be falling into his hands. This number of hundreds of secret books can help him gain insight into the flaws of the Five Wheels of Divine Qi. There are also enough secret methods in it to help him perfect the Five Rounds of Divine Qi.
As for calligraphy, Li Shimin looked at the little princess and took out many copies of calligraphers of the previous generation. Especially the preface to the Lan Pavilion of the King Monk and the Monk, he couldn't put it down, and he couldn't help it.
However, his own calligraphy is too unrestrained and unrestrained, and it is by no means suitable for women. I could only choose Mrs. Wei's hairpin flower Xiaokai and let the little princess copy it.
It's a pity that the latter has a poor understanding, and after studying with him for more than ten days, the words he writes are still unbearable.
