Chapter 39 The Beginning of Prestige
"Fan Shixing?"
The eldest grandson Wuji was a little surprised, and then asked Li Shimin curiously: "When did you offend this person?"
Li Shimin also noticed the man who was striding over, and he couldn't care if he didn't care. Just because this person has a pair of bronze big eyes, he is glaring at him with anger, and the momentum seems to be about to devour him alive.
And the guards around who witnessed this scene all showed gloating, and they swept their eyes towards him intentionally or unintentionally.
"This person is Fan Shixing?"
Li Shimin shook his head slightly, his eyes puzzled: "I haven't met this person before. But I heard Dugu Cheng say that this guy is the thorn in the head of this guard under my command. I don't know what this person's strength is, is it very strong?"
"It's already on the sixth grade, and it's about to enter the general level, so this Fan Shixing is usually quite brave and conceited. He is indeed very remarkable, you need to know that this person has no inheritance, and there is no teacher to teach, but he has practiced blindly to this point. It is said that this guy is not even eighteen now, which shows that his talent is excellent, which is simply a fight with the general of the right tunwei. ”
Li Shimin knew this, and he was talking about the wheat iron staff of the then general of the Right Tunwei.
This wheat iron rod is a strange person, born in the South Chen Han family, once ganged up with people as a thief, was captured by the Guangzhou Assassin at that time, punished as a slave of the government, and held the umbrella for the emperor. But this one thought that the salary paid by the Southern Dynasty was not enough, so he ran hundreds of miles away at night to rob and kill, and then ran back in the early morning.
And now this is one of the few king-level generals in the army. It has won the trust of Yang Guang and is the dry city of the country.
The eldest grandson Wuji compared this Fan Shixing with the wheat iron rod, which is a high evaluation
"Since we haven't met, it's Virusha, what have you done to offend this person. ”
When the eldest grandson Wuji said this, his expression moved slightly: "I heard that you just gave a lecture over there, but what did you say during the period?"
When Li Shimin heard this, he was even more confused: "I didn't say anything? Since he became a janissary and took the reward of the Great Sui, he should follow the rules and prohibit it. ”
"That's it. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji sighed with emotion and shook his head slightly: "This is exactly what I want to tell you." Most of the guards here have a variety of livelihoods outside the palace. If you let them stay here on time every day and stay here honestly, wouldn't it cost him his life?"
"And such a thing?"
Li Shimin was relieved at first, and then asked puzzledly: "Is the money and food issued by the palace not enough for them to live, or is someone deducting their money and food?"
"That's not true, my Great Sui Mansion is rich. The palace guards, and no one has the guts to deduct them. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said earnestly: "It can cut off people's financial paths, which is equivalent to killing parents." But the atmosphere here is so heavy that it is difficult to return and difficult to correct. If you are too strict with them, you will inevitably attract backlash. There are still many ways for these guys to make trouble for you. ”
Just as the two were talking, that Fan Shixing had already walked within twenty steps of them. This glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, with a slight fear in his eyes, but finally ignored it and continued to walk there.
Only then did Li Shimin move his eyes and look at this person: "Brother Wuji means that I should turn a blind eye to them and be appeased, right?"
Just as his words fell, Fan Shixing was already holding a big knife in his hand, pointing at Li Shimin, with a fierce expression: "You guy, where did you come from?
The expression is quite contemptuous, and the tone is extremely arrogant.
Li Shimin's face was slightly cold when he heard this, and he pursed the corners of his lips, secretly thinking that this person was too arrogant, and he didn't give him a lesson, how to serve the public in the future, so he didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, but then the figure suddenly flashed out, bullied Fan Shixing's body with lightning speed, and suddenly punched Fan Shixing's waist.
The latter couldn't react at all, and then he fell to his knees. I felt that the five were like turning over the river and the sea, and he couldn't stop vomiting in his mouth, as if he wanted to vomit out his bitter gall water as well.
And this scene was not only the surprise of the surrounding guards. Even the eldest grandson Wuji also opened his mouth wide, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a while. He expected that this Fan Shixing would have no choice but to Li Shimin. But the way the latter solves the trouble is inevitably too neat.
After Li Shimin collected his fist, he asked lightly: "I don't know the rate of Team Fan, what else do you want to say to me?"
The position held by Fan Shixing is the position of team leader, commanding the army of the second army. But at this time, he couldn't speak to Ben, so he could only vomit while pointing at Li Shimin to express his resentment.
Li Shimin didn't care at all: "Don't you have anything to say? Then it's time for me to say, today is your day of duty." But you, Fan Shixing, as a team officer, are openly absent from work, and the days are not coming. According to military law, it is not too much to behead you now. But my predecessor himself was not upright and misbehaved, and you will inevitably go up and down. So today, the official is only a slight punishment, so that you can take it as a warning. If there is a next time, it will be severely punished!
Fan Shixing coughed violently when he heard this, as if he was heartbreaking.
Li Shimin faintly listened to this person, as if he was saying the words 'you will regret', but he didn't plan to pay attention to it anymore, and instead said to the eldest grandson Wuji: "I know that Brother Wuji is out of good intentions, but I can't agree with Brother Wuji's words. Since these guys have chosen to be soldiers and eat food, they should have the appearance of being soldiers, and loyalty to their duties is the basic, otherwise what is the use of me hiring them in the Great Sui? If they want to make a living, wouldn't it be nice for them to quit the guards and do what they want to do?"
When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he frowned again. In fact, he very much agrees with Li Shimin's words, and he is not used to the atmosphere here. But—
"Virusha, you have never understood the methods of these bastards, and I will tell you the truth, I also thought about rectifying the military discipline of the right guard under my command in the past, but in the end, I was frustrated, and I was reprimanded by my boss several times, and finally I had to give up. ”
"Really?"
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows slightly, but there was a bit of expectation in his eyes: "Then I want to see what kind of means they have to deal with me." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head disappreciatively, but did not persuade again. He actually understands Li Shimin, this guy is just the age when the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and he would rather take everything straight than seek it.
Even his eldest grandson, Wuji, would not compromise easily if he hadn't encountered a series of setbacks.
So he simply changed the subject: "By the way, what did Ling Tang tell you after you returned to the house this time?"
"My mother?"
Li Shimin's heart was clear, knowing that this person was inquiring about the news, but he was straightforward and neat, without concealment: "Mother said that I had a marriage contract with Guanyin when I was a child, so I don't know if Brother Wuji's family still remembers?"
The eldest grandson Wuji almost suffocated in his chest in one breath, unable to breathe. I thought that this is a major event in your marriage after all, so you can't be a little more reserved?
He hesitated for a moment before he replied vaguely, "I once heard my uncle and my mother discuss this matter by chance, but I don't know the details. ”
In fact, he participated in the whole process, but he was afraid of Li Shimin, so he directly asked him, does your family intend to renew this marriage contract? At that time, he couldn't answer well, and it wasn't okay if he didn't answer, which was really embarrassing.
"I see. ”
Li Shimin bowed slightly, and then said with a smile: "I told my mother at the time that Guanyin is an excellent woman, I like it very much, if I can marry her, it is really a blessing for three lives." ”
Before he finished speaking, he saw the eldest grandson Wuji puffing out his eyes and staring at him fixedly, Li Shimin couldn't help but touch his skin in astonishment: "Brother Wuji, what's wrong with my face?"
"I'm wondering, why is your skin so thick?"
The eldest grandson Wuji's tone was incredible: "It's as thick as a city wall, no, it should be said that even the city wall is not as thick as yours!"
When Li Shimin heard this, he burst into laughter: "The so-called fair lady, a gentleman." I like Guanyin very much, if I miss it because I am too shy to speak out, I will definitely regret it. Don't forget your Henan Changsun clan, two hundred years ago, but in front of the woman in your heart, you courted face-to-face. ”
The eldest grandson is from the Tuoba clan, from the eldest son of the Northern Wei royal family Tuoba Jue, Sha Moxiong, and is a branch of the Sinicized Xianbei.
When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, his mood was extremely complicated. He said those things just now, on the one hand, he wanted to know if the Tang Guogong Mansion still remembered this marriage contract, and on the other hand, he planned to test Li Shimin and whether he had a heart for his little sister.
But at this time, he was both happy and annoyed, and the joy was that Li Shimin had a clear mind and did not avoid it, and what annoyed him was Li Shimin's straightforwardness and no tactfulness.
"If you want, my little sister may not be willing to marry. ”
The two of them walked forward as they spoke. But at this time, Li Shimin's footsteps suddenly stopped. The eldest grandson Wuji also stopped and looked to the opposite side, and then only two young men wearing the same clothes as them also walked over from the opposite side.
That's Yang Jishan and Su Yi————
As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji saw these two people, he knew the reason: "I remember that a few days ago, you killed three bandits in a row on the side of the imperial camp, and beat them severely. ”
"Yes, the news spread really fast. But I only beat Su Yi, Yang Jishan didn't. ”
Li Shimin shook his head slightly: "It's just to kill one of his subordinates." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji thought that this would be troublesome, with the temperament of these two second ancestors, they must have trouble with Vilucha. The two of them lost such a big face, how could there be no reason not to retaliate.
No, it's not going to stop anymore. He and Li Shimin are the left and right people in charge of Chongwen Pavilion. And Su Yi and Yang Jishan are waiting for the chariot warehouse on the opposite side. The royal chariots stored there were, in short, a lighter position than they do now.
Unfortunately, between these two places, the distance between them is less than fifty zhang, and there is a small half of the forest garden.
What can make the eldest grandson Wuji strange is that he is kind to Su Yi and Yang Jishan, although he also discovered Li Shimin, he is indeed an enemy who is very angry when he sees each other. But these two people did not intend to provoke trouble. Instead, he took the initiative to make a left turn and avoided them.
