Chapter 124: Secret Gains
Because he was very satisfied with Fan Shixing's attitude, Li Shimin rarely went down in person that day and instructed the captain of the pro-soldier to practice.
However, he had only taught Fan Shixing for a moment, and he saw the dumb servant who had been following Dou's side appear aside.
This made Li Shimin stunned, and after hurriedly teaching Fan Shixing some key points, he let him practice on his own. He himself walked to the dumb servant's side: "Luo Lao is interested in this guy?"
Luo Lao is a special title for their brothers, and the dumb servant is a special title to show respect. As for the name of this person, Li Shimin has no way of knowing.
In fact, he and Li Xuanba were very curious about the identity of this old man before, and they had also made some guesses. Both of them think that this must be a strong man with his own story, and a few decades ago, he was probably still a popular figure, but for some reason, he had to be incognito in the Guogong Mansion.
Li Shimin even thought about a possibility, could this be related to the imperial family of the former Zhou Dynasty? Or could it be the remnant of Chi Yuan, the former governor of Xiangzhou of the Zhou Dynasty?
The first emperor Yang Jian used to be in charge of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, monopolized the world's military affairs, and continuously booby-trapped the Northern Five Kings led by Zhao Wang Yu Wenzhao, so Wei Chi, who was the governor of Xiangzhou at the time, was angry and raised troops, sending 700,000 troops and 150,000 ink armor to crusade against Yang Jian. It's a pity that this one was finally defeated by Wei Xiaokuan, the god of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and was defeated in the first battle of Qinshui.
After that, although Wei Chi Zhen was defeated, many clansmen and his comrades escaped, and since then they have been in the world, and the court has not been able to punish them so far.
And the reason why Li Shimin thinks that this Luo Lao is from the former Zhou royal family, or the Wei Chi family, is because of his mother's special identity and the strange ambition of the Dou family.
That one is iron-hearted, and he must destroy the Great Sui and avenge his uncle's family-
But although Li Shimin speculated like this, he didn't have any evidence, and he didn't plan to dig deep into this person, no matter what the truth was, it would be something that was not good for him.
When the dumb servant heard this, he bowed slightly, and he used his fingers to slightly touch his feet. There was a breeze that swept away the dust below.
Li Shimin glanced at it, and saw that a few lines of handwriting suddenly appeared on the ground--very interested! This son is very talented, and he is almost not under the Xuanba. It's a pity that the practice of martial arts is not lawful, and he is old, and he is afraid that his future achievements will only be difficult to reach the peak.
He couldn't help but have a slight light in his eyes, and immediately said without thinking: "This guy is indeed a pity! But if he can be careful* from now on, supplemented by the right exercises, he may not be able to reach the super level in the future." Since Luo Lao dares to be interested in him, why don't you also help me give me some advice?"
In the last sentence, he made no secret of his expectations and temptations.
You need to know that in front of him, it is a genuine super product! The strength is in no way inferior to the existence of embroidered clothes and Tang Yuanhua.
With this instructor Fan Shixing, he is stronger than him and a half-witted person like Shakshasa, and he doesn't know where to go. 1
However, Li Shimin does not have much hope for this. It's just because this dumb old man, although he often follows his mother, rarely participates in the affairs of the house.
As far as he knew, this person had only appeared to make a move when Li Yuan had been assassinated twice before and his life was in danger. At that time, it was like shooting a watermelon, and the heads of two first-class masters were smashed into pieces!
That's why Li Shimin's brothers have so much respect for this old Luo. This can kill the same king-level martial artist so easily, which shows that his strength is by no means limited by supergrades.
And such a strong existence, if placed in troubled times, no matter where it is, it can be a hegemon!
When the dumb servant heard this, he really frowned slightly, revealing a look of embarrassment and hesitation. The man stood in place, thinking for a long time, before new handwriting appeared under his feet.
"It's okay to point! But the old man is usually riddled with everything, and he rarely has leisure. It's only the next month, a little time. Can you hand him over to the old man and let him come back in a month?"
After Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but slander in his heart. This dumb servant is by Dou's side every day, and he doesn't need to deal with any affairs in the house, where is there anything to do?
But when he heard the latter sentence, he looked slightly happy again: "Then please Luo Lao!"
It's just that after saying this, Li Shimin felt that something was wrong.
This dumb servant seemed to be coming to Fan Shixing, and his previous embarrassment and hesitation were completely pretending, and it happened to be at this point in time when he came to the door of his small courtyard.
I knew it was like this-
Li Shimin then shook his head, thinking to himself that even if this old man Luo used some scheming, what would it be? In the end, it was himself who benefited, and there was no need for him to get cheap and sell well.
Li Shimin was only a little envious, you need to know that this dumb servant had never instructed the four brothers in the past, even if Li Yuan asked for it in person, it was useless.
Fan Shixing, this guy, is really blessed-

When Li Shimin went to Miyagi again that day, he finally had a smooth journey and there were no accidents.
And after Li Xuanba, who was a 'new official', entered the palace, everything went smoothly. Not only was he taken care of by the newly appointed Right Reserve Zhizhai and arranged to serve in the left guard of Fang Tingyuan, the lightest province, those colleagues looked at Li Shimin's face and were also enthusiastic about him.
The previous rebellion near the White Horse Temple not only killed Dugu Cheng in battle, but also made the preparation of the right body preparation and the preparation of Qianniu nearly twenty percent vacant. And the vast majority of the remaining generals of the Right Reserve Government are very grateful for Li Shimin's 'life-saving grace'.
If it weren't for this one to save the defeat, even if they were lucky enough to escape and survive the pursuit of those traitors, they would face the responsibility of the Sui family, and the end would not be much better.
What's more, in addition to this kindness, Li Shimin himself is already a celebrity in front of Her Royal Highness, and the Tang Guofu and the martial arts Li family are behemoths in the eyes of many noble families. Therefore, the environment that Li Xuanba faced when he took office was much better than the period when Li Shimin entered the palace. In addition, this one has a cheerful temperament and a bold atmosphere, but in just a few days, he has already mingled with his colleagues. In this palace, it is like a fish in water, and there is no need for Li Shimin to care about it.
In the past few days, Li Shimin has spent his time sorting out and familiarizing himself with his subordinates, inspecting the territory under his jurisdiction.
He is now the capital of Chongwen Pavilion, leading a battalion of soldiers and horses. In addition to the left and right guards of Chongwen Pavilion, the left and right guards of Fengxian Hall next to him were also allocated to him by the right side of the body, and the number of subordinates increased to 1,000.
Naturally, the safety of this Fengxian Hall will also be responsible for him. But that is where the sages are enshrined in the palace, not to mention the palace concubines, even if the emperor does not hesitate, he may not be able to come once in a year.
Therefore, it is more relaxed than Chongwen Pavilion.
The problem is that in the rebellion ten days ago, the casualties of Chongwen Pavilion were as high as 20 percent, and then nearly 30 percent of the soldiers were promoted to the right in the last few days;
Therefore, when Li Shimin entered the palace again, most of the four guards and horses had changed into new faces.
Fortunately, he now has military exploits in his hands, and his majesty has been established. In addition to the recent supplements, they are all elites selected from the Outer Sixth Army and the Inner Fifth Army. Therefore, it didn't take much time for Li Shimin to complete the rectification of the four guards and horses. Even afterwards, he felt that his newly subordinated subordinates were better used than the old ones before him.
These so-called 'recruits', at least in the battle formation, are stronger than the previous Chongwen Pavilion left and right guards. In addition, he is in awe of the palace, and when he usually patrols, he is also extremely attentive and does not dare to slack off.
So Li Shimin comprehended a truth in the military book, and wondered why those famous generals and soldiers in the past preferred to use the new army that had been trained well. This is because those veterans are oily, and they really can't be loved.
When Li Shimin handled the affairs of the four guards of this battalion, they were almost disposed of. Only then did he enter the Chongwen Pavilion again, and looked through the various classics inside hungrily. Even for several days, I stayed in the palace and read at night.
The eldest grandson Wuji was worried about his move: "How can I rest assured that you are like this? When I first met him a year ago, I didn't expect that you were still a bookworm." It's good to love to read, but like you, it's too much. ”
He can't help but worry a little now, will his stupid sister marry in the future, will he stay alone?
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Brother Wuji, you can't help but be too lenient, right?"
Then he sighed again and looked at the book in his hand called "Mechanical Essentials": "Brother Wuji thinks, how long can I stay in this palace? If I don't work hard at this time, will I have to wait for old age to be sad?"
"Forget you!"
The eldest grandson Wuji chuckled lightly and said thoughtfully: "So, Her Royal Highness the Queen is still very considerate to you. In the past, in this palace, only Fengxian Hall was waiting, but there was nothing to do in Chongwen Pavilion. His Royal Highness deliberately changed the name of this official position, which was clearly intended to be fulfilled, knowing that your interest is in these books in the Chongwen Pavilion. ”
At this time, he looked solemn again: "What happened to the Dou Mansion banquet that day?"
At this time, Luoyang City was not only the assassination of Li Shimin, which caused an uproar. The storm caused by the incident in the East Courtyard of Dou Mansion that day was also getting more and more intense.
Now in the eastern capital, there have been countless rumors, some people say that it is His Royal Highness the King of Han, eyeing the eldest grandson of the martial arts Su family, so he set up a bureau in the Dou Mansion and wants to 'kiss Fangze';
However, more people believe that this is the result of the two 'happy love'.
This made Her Royal Highness the Queen furious, and on the day after the incident, she ordered King Han to be imprisoned, and ordered the embroidered clothes guard to investigate strictly.
- If it's just that, it's okay, the eldest grandson Wuji will take these as jokes at most. But recently, the people of the embroidered clothes guard have come to the door three times in succession to inquire about the eldest grandson. At this time, no matter how stupid the eldest grandson Wuji is, he knows that the turmoil in Dou Mansion is not simple.
