Chapter 50: Menacing

What makes Li Shimin strange is that at this time, there is still more than a month before the Guozi Temple selects students for the Guozi Examination.

In addition, this kind of trivial matter does not need to be done by the Ministry of Rites by himself, right? In previous years, if a member of the Ministry of Rites was present, it would be regarded as attaching great importance to the study of the Li clan.

As for the other soldier Hu Sizheng, it is even more inexplicable.

However, he knew that he couldn't figure out these questions, and it probably didn't have much to do with him, so he didn't need to bother.

When Li Shimin hurried to the Weishan Hall of Clan Studies, he came directly to the door with Li Xiaoji, the clan uncle, to greet him. And behind him, there are Li Xuanba and Li Yuanji. They have different identities, they are the second sons of Tang Guogong, and the martial arts Li family and the Hongnong Yang family are world friends, and they are qualified to show their faces in front of Yang Xuangan, and they must be so, so as not to be rude.

At this time, those students who did not live in the clan school also arrived one after another. Some of the students of Class A and Class B of the Martial Arts Academy, after seeing them, in addition to saluting Li Xiaoji, the mountain chief, also greeted Li Shimin respectfully.

This made Li Yuanji strange, and looked at Li Shimin in astonishment: "Second brother, what did you pour into them?"

He knew that most of these students in Class A and Class B were unruly. Especially Li Daozong and Li Daoxuan, all have eyes on the top of their heads, and they never look at people properly. But at this time, these people were all respectful and obedient to Li Shimin.

This made Li Yuanji suspicious, he had previously asked Li Xiaoji for leave under the pretext of cultivating the Flying Star Method outside the sky and needing to retreat, so he had not gone to the clan for more than ten days. Could it be that during this time, I missed something?

Li Shimin smiled silently, and Li Xuanba said: "The second brother has always been to convince people with virtue, what's so strange about this?"

As far as he knew, in the past 20 days, Li Shimin was blocked every time he went home. Then soon after, the second brother always walked out of the alley refreshed. Wait until the next day, and there will always be people in the family who will not take leave.

This is not because Li Shimin is ruthless, but because these people themselves can't stand the toss, and their muscles and bones are almost scattered.

His second brother directly regarded these people as sparring partners and targets that could move, and his lance sword skills actually made a lot of progress. When they practiced two days ago, he suffered a lot.

However, in the next few days, Li Daozong and Li Daoxuan took turns to fight. The bones of these two cousins are quite hard, and they have searched for Li Shimin more than once, and the result is naturally miserable one time after another.

However, he saw that he had found Li Shimin's classmates these days, and he had recently improved more or less in martial arts. Especially Li Daozong and Li Daoxuan, it seems that they are not far from breaking through the five grades and cultivating the true yuan, and it is estimated that it will be in the next few days.

This shows that Li Shimin's 'guidance' is still somewhat beneficial.

And after such an experience, how can these self-conceited people in Class A and Class B be disrespectful to Li Shimin?

"Convince people with virtue?"

Li Yuanji squinted at Li Shimin, and his eyes flashed with doubt. He knew that Li Xuanba was ridiculing himself, but Li Daozong and these people would not be without reason for being so respectful of Li Shimin.

However, he soon pondered the details without flaw, and only in the distance was a group of knights, riding horses. The person who is the leader is sturdy, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a square face, full of beards, and looks like a lion.

And their father, Li Yuan, and another middle-aged man about forty years old, wearing a three-grade court uniform and a dignified appearance, accompanied Yang Xuangan - not surprisingly, this person is Hu Sizheng, the squire of the military department.

Within a few moments, the knights were in front of them. Next, before Li Shimin and them saluted and greeted, Yang Xuangan chuckled: "Tang Guogong, presumably these three Qilin'er are the three sons of your mansion." It seems that they are all very good, they are all full of spirit and heroic, worthy of being an eight-pillar country, the world's top generals, and the tiger father has no dogs. ”

"Chu Guogong is really too famous! It's just three hairy boys, where can they be called a unicorn?"

Li Yuan shook his head slightly, with a few wry smiles on his face: "It is the sons of your family who are really outstanding, so there are successors to the Duke of Chu." ”

"My brothers?"

Yang Xuan sighed lightly, as if he didn't want to talk more, and then looked at Li Xiaoji with a smile: "This is Brother Xiaoji, right? I haven't seen you for many years, but my demeanor is still the same." I heard that Brother Xiaoji resigned from the army for some reason a few years ago and could not continue to serve in the army, and I also sighed for Brother Xiaoji. ”

Before his words fell, Li Xiaoji's eyes closed slightly, and his expression was indifferent: "I, Li Xiaoji, can't stay in the army, so there's nothing to pity." ”

"But a talent like Brother Xiaoji is left behind, isn't it a loss for the court?"

Yang Xuan seemed to want to continue to say something, but he stopped, and said with a smile: "I heard that after Brother Xiaoji took over the Li clan study in recent years, this Weishan Hall has become more and more prosperous, and there are as many as fourteen people who were promoted to Tai Scholar last year. I hope that in the national test after January, my father can also get his wish, and he will be able to pull out some more useful materials with the state in the Weishan Hall of your mansion. The students taught by Brother Xiaoji, my father is looking forward to it. ”

After this one finished speaking, he should ride in first.

And Li Shimin looked at this figure thoughtfully. I thought that this was really worthy of Yang Xuangan, just this demeanor and bearing, it was far stronger than his younger brother Yang Jishan, no wonder he could return to the heart of famous people from all over the world, which made Jingzhong Xungui's heart broken.

Then his heart moved slightly, and he looked at the person behind Yang Xuangan. It was a young man in his thirties, looking at their brother with a strange look in his eyes. When he found Li Shimin's attention, the kind-looking man smiled and withdrew his gaze.

Seeing this, Li Xuanba couldn't help but ask curiously: "Who is this person?

"It should be Li Mi, the prince of Pushan County. ”

Li Shimin replied lightly: "You should have heard of him." ”

"It turned out to be this!" Li Yuanji's eyes suddenly changed: "Is that the guy who was kicked out of the palace by the Son of Heaven?"

This Li Mi's great-grandfather Li Bi, and their great-ancestor Li Hu, were in the Western Wei Dynasty and were the Shangzhu Kingdom. On that day, Li Mi was forced by Yuwenshu to resign as the governor of the Zuo Qinwei Mansion and the Qianniu of the East Palace, which was well known to everyone in the capital.

When Li Shimin heard this, he glared at Li Yuanji coldly: "Don't be so unreasonable!"

Although this Li Mi is now down-and-out, this person's talent and strategy have won the appreciation of the late Chu Guogong, and he is also a friend of Yang Xuangan, and often praises his staff members, and he is not a person who can be easily offended.

And if he is not mistaken, this person's cultivation should be unfathomable, at least not much inferior to his father.

Originally, Li Shimin was somewhat sympathetic to this person's situation, and they were both the families of the Eight Pillars Kingdom, so it was inevitable that the rabbit would die and the fox would be sad. But after meeting today, I realized that any sympathy and pity from outsiders is only humiliating and superfluous for this person.

The descendants of tigers and leopards, no matter how dangerous the situation is, still have the power to storm and devour people.

Li Yuanji was obviously unconvinced, he subconsciously wanted to talk back, but at this time, Li Xiaoji's cold gaze had also swept over. Li Yuanji's expression was slightly abrupt, and he immediately shut up.

The three of them also came to the school field of Weishan Hall. At this time, all the disciples of the martial arts academy were gathered here by Li Xiaoji, and they stood solemnly and meticulously.

And the atmosphere here is also extremely solemn, and there is a trace of doubt in the eyes of all the students. They also don't know what the purpose of the Ministry of Rites is here.

However, some people are still looking forward to the visit of Yang Xuangan and Hu Sizheng. After all, in the Eastern Capital, these two are undoubtedly the top magnates. With just one green eye, they can soar and embark on the road to green clouds.

What made Li Shimin wonder again was that these two distinguished guests and his father Li Yuan had disappeared since they came to Weishan Hall, and they had not appeared for a long time.

※ ※ ※ ※

At the same time, in a quiet room on the second floor of Weishan Hall, Li Mi was standing by the window, bored looking at the students of Weishan Hall standing under the sun. Not far behind him, Li Yuan, Yang Xuangan, and Hu Sizheng sat cross-legged face to face.

"Speaking of which, I'm also strange, what does Brother Yang and Hu Shilang mean by this suddenly?"

Li Yuan's face was pale, and his eyes showed a bit of vigilance that was difficult for others to find: "The so-called Three Treasures Hall for nothing, will the two of you come to my family to learn here to see the scenery?"

- As for the three hundred ethnic students in the school field, they were directly excluded by Li Yuan.

Although the person in front of him is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he is the great uncle of the dynasty. The reason for coming here is also to review the newly opened genealogy of the Li family. But Yang Xuan feels that there are many opportunities, how can the world ever see this, who has studied privately for any in Beijing, so bothered?

If Jingzhong talks about private learning, it is headed by the clans of Jingzhao Wei, Hedong Xue, Hedong Pei, and Hedong Liu in Luoyang. Their martial arts Li clan is not ranked yet. Even the Jing Zhao Du clan is now a cut stronger than them.

This is also a helpless thing, the family of the family is in the army, and the civil rule is neglected. Guozi Temple, on the other hand, is dominated by literature.

Yang Xuan felt what he said, but he smiled and didn't answer, still unhurried, holding the teacup in his hand and tasting tea. However, Hu Sizheng next to him bowed his head to Li Yuan.

"Actually, this time, it was because Hu had a certain matter, and he asked Guogong! ”

"Something?"

Li Yuan's heart was shocked, his eyes were even more puzzled, and his words were more cautious: "I don't know what Shilang Hu, what is the request for me, this little guard Shaoqing?

Hu Sizheng frowned, glanced at Yang Xuangan, and then sent a piece of white rice paper to Li Yuan's eyes.
