Li Shimin didn't know that after he left the Tang State Mansion, the crisis that happened in the mansion related to the survival of the martial arts Li family, and he didn't know that the Dou family and Li Yuan had already talked about his marriage. After he rushed to the palace in a hurry, he still kept his temper and handled all the official duties of the left guard.

In fact, there is no official business, it is nothing more than a daily inspection, and then it is to arrange the training of the left guard of Chongwen Pavilion.

It may be because of the simultaneous dismissal of more than 20 people this time, which is too shocking, or it may be because of Li Shimin's promotion bait, which is really touching. In short, on this day, the remaining 153 people of the left guard of Chongwen Pavilion were all assembled. There are more than a dozen other people, because they were expelled from the palace, they can only stay outside the palace temporarily, and ask their colleagues to complain to Li Shimin and beg for mercy.

In short, these guards, who were still unruly yesterday and disobeyed Li Shimin's words, have bowed down in front of him.

Li Shimin was quite proud of his record of initially surrendering the left guard of Chongwen Pavilion within two or three days.

Soon after, however, he began to feel a headache again. The problem is the affairs of Chongwen Pavilion, and it is pitiful that there are few commissions. There is nothing to do except inspect the pavilions in the East Courtyard and pay attention to fire prevention and theft.

But Li Shimin knows the art of war very well and knows the truth that he must not let his subordinates be too leisurely. This one is easy to breed arrogance and laziness, and the second is that most of the subordinates are forgetful, and once they are idle, they are easy to breed trouble.

So next, after Li Shimin roughly divided these people into three classes, he arranged some drill training tasks - including the drill of the formation queue, the martial arts practice of each person, the operation of the ink armor, and so on.

The former, in particular, is a top priority. These guards can be selected to the palace, their personal strength, is still very good, before the six left guard team of 180 people, only the first division there are 60, including the captain level of seven people, this proportion is far better than the border army.

However, because there was no one to control them in peacetime and they were scattered for too long, many people in this left guard had forgotten how to line up, how to march, and how to meet the enemy.

And the task assigned by Li Shimin to each team is to let them recall these previous training contents.

Anyway, this Chongwen Pavilion East Courtyard is vast enough, and these people also have a lot of leisure time.

Li Shimin did not do this matter himself, but handed it over to Fan Shixing and Zhang Buzhou, as well as Yuwen Chengguang, who was temporarily promoted by him and temporarily took over the position of the former team leader.

This is because Li Shimin himself can't spare much time, the second is that he wants to investigate and see the specific abilities of his subordinates, and the third is because he is lazy.

In the final analysis, Li Shimin is actually not enthusiastic about military exploits, and naturally he is not enthusiastic about the miscellaneous affairs in the army. At this time, the reason why the military discipline of the left guard of Chongwen Pavilion was to be rectified was only out of a sense of responsibility.

This position of Zuo Wei Yu Hou, he either doesn't do it, and since he does, he will definitely fulfill his duties. Therefore, Li Yuan said that he only needed to enter the palace for five days a month, which really looked down on him.

But Li Shimin can only do his duty at most, and it will be really difficult for him to continue to work hard and strive for perfection on this basis.

When everything was arranged, Li Shimin walked into the Wenqing Building in the East Courtyard. Yesterday he found another treasure in this library. In the corner of the second floor of this tower, there are nearly 100 ink armor design drawings, from the beginning of the Han Dynasty to the present, almost all the sergeant, lieutenant and general-level armor that have appeared, are readily available, everything. There are even some remnants left from the pre-Qin and Warring States periods.

Although only the ink armor below the handsome level was recorded on these drawings, this still shocked him and opened his eyes. These drawings not only show the style and ingenuity of the designers in front of him, but also help him lay a solid foundation and gain insight into the origin and evolution of today's ink armor skills.

Li Shimin had a hunch, and when he had seen all these ink armor structure diagrams, he remembered them in his heart. Then his armor-making skills are likely to rise to the next level on the basis of the present.

But on this day, it may have been too engrossed, and by the time Li Shimin was relieved that he had taken out the seventh picture scroll, the sun had set outside the building. But at this time, he was still unsatisfied, and directly picked up the eighth picture scroll.

But at this moment, Li Shimin's expression suddenly moved, and he looked at the corner next to him. And just behind the bookshelf he was looking at, a girl of eight or nine years old walked out.

This girl has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, like a pink carving, and she is wearing a palace maid's robe that does not fit well, which looks quite cute.

However, after discovering Li Shimin, the girl was also startled: "Who are you and why are you here?"

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows slightly, and then seemed to smile: "I also want to ask about this sentence, but this is Chongwen Pavilion-"

In this Chongwen Pavilion, there is no palace maid. However, the girl's voice is as crisp as a bell, quite good, and the momentum is like a little tiger, which makes people can't help but want to pinch her little face.

The little palace maid suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then she turned her eyes slightly, still aggressive: "I am on the order of the queen mother, and I came here to pick up books for the mother! But you, what kind of identity is it? I don't know the classics of the Chongwen Pavilion here, can't you touch them indiscriminately? If there is any damage, can you afford it?"

"This will be the left guard of Chongwen Pavilion, and he is the chief officer of the East Courtyard of Chongwen Pavilion, responsible for fire prevention and theft prevention here. It is the duty of the General to check whether the books have been stolen, replaced, or lost or damaged. ”

Li Shimin's answer was straightforward, and he didn't have a weak heart at all. He was not frightened by this little palace maid, but looked out the window curiously: "Since you said that you were on the order of the queen's mother, why didn't anyone give me anything?"

He expected that the palace maid was lying, and at this time he was only curious about how this little girl came in. Could it be that the guards of the East Courtyard of their Chongwen Pavilion had slackened to this point?

But as far as he could see, the Left Guard Squadron, which was on duty at night today, was divided into several teams, each in good spirits. The guards standing guard at the gate were also holding their heads high and full of energy, and there was nothing unusual about them.

That Fan Shixing stood in the atrium with wide eyes and looked in all directions.

Li Shimin thought to himself that this was right, how long had he been beaten by the left guard soldiers under his command? Even if he wanted to relax, it should not be now.

So Li Shimin looked at the back window thoughtfully. This Wenqing Building is only separated by a wall from the Yuming Courtyard next to it. It was originally the residence of some palace maids, but today, when the son traveled north to conquer Liao, he took away half of the palace maids. At this time, the Yuming Temple was in a state of idleness.

"You sneaked here from Yuming Courtyard? I'm afraid you're not a palace maid, are you? Your hands are so delicate, your grandmother is really good to you. ”

Before Li Shimin said this, he saw a trace of panic flashing on the little palace maid's face. He suddenly understood in his heart, poked his head out of the window again, and asked in a loud voice: "Team Fan, what happened in the palace today?"

Fan Shixing blinked, a little puzzled, but still replied respectfully: "Back to Yu Hou, someone notified me not long ago that it was a little princess who was lost in the palace, and she was the second daughter of Queen Xiao. So tonight, the whole palace is banned, and no one is allowed to go out. The man also made us pay close attention. But anyone who finds clues about the little princess's traces, the queen will be rewarded. ”

"I see!"

Li Shimin turned his head and looked at the 'little palace maid' in front of him. At this time, the little girl had already seen despair, but she still maintained her composure, and then her expression was solemn, showing an extraordinary demeanor: "Are you the left guard of the Chongwen Pavilion? If you can escort me out of the palace this time, then this palace will definitely protect you with a three-grade future in the future!"

Li Shimin was happy when he heard this, and finally couldn't help it, and reached out and pinched the little palace maid's face: "How old are you? You dare to say that you want me to have a three-grade future? But I'm sorry, in the eyes of this general, it is still the queen's mother's heavy reward, which is even more expected——"

But before he could finish speaking, he let out a miserable 'ahh It was the little palace maid who took a bite and bit Li Shimin's arm, and the silver tooth was full of strength, as if it was like a jaw. Those big eyes were round and angry, as if they wanted to remember Li Shimin's appearance deeply.

※ ※ ※ ※

Only two moments later, a chariot in front of Chongwen Pavilion had already slowly left with the little princess who had changed into a red palace dress.

But after leaving, the little princess opened the window again, and continued to glare angrily at Li Shimin, who was sending him off at the door: "You bastard, remember it for me! From now on, I, Yang Ying, will never die with you! Let you betray me-"

Before her voice fell, a beautiful girl in the car, who was about twenty-seven years old, suddenly hit the top of the little Yang Ying's head mercilessly.

The latter screamed, then held his head in his hands, and looked back behind him very dissatisfied: "Stinky Nanyang, why did you beat me?"

This beautiful girl's face suddenly showed a layer of greenness, and then she directly pinched the girl's ears and raised violently: "You have to call me sister or sister, and that Yu Hou is not a bastard." He is the second son of Tang Guofu and your cousin. As for why I beat you, sister, do you know how worried the queen mother is about this nonsense?"

Xiao Yang Ying's face suddenly looked like a bitter gourd, and she hurriedly begged for mercy. After a while, when Princess Nanyang finally let go, she rubbed her ears with her hands and asked suspiciously, "That person, is it our cousin?"

"This grandmother, along with our imperial grandmother and Empress Mingjing of the previous dynasty, are sisters-in-law. ”

Princess Nanyang explained: "In addition, I have also heard of this person, according to him, this person is a rare talent in the world, Yunwen Yunwu, has the ability to control the sea and the sky, and will definitely be the pillar of my Great Sui in the future." ”

"Yu Wenshiji, do you really believe his words?"

Yang Ying sneered, but then saw Nanyang's faint eyes sweeping over. She immediately stopped speaking, and just sat quietly on the couch, her eyes flashing with inspiration, as if she was thinking about something.
