Because it is a temporary assessment, there is no new venue, and the form of the assessment is also very simple, that is, 20 arrows per person, riding a free shooting target, and then calculating the target rate.

After the early dynasty, Zuo Qianniuwei basically didn't have any specific tasks, so at this time, all the officials and assistants from Changshi Xu Jing also came here to help prepare utensils and record everything.

Li Tong sat outside the shooting range, holding a list of names and calling for names, and he was also carefully observing the performance of these spare men. The assessment is divided into two sessions, mainly for the purpose of recovering horsepower.

After more than 200 people completed the assessment, the time was already in the afternoon. Changshi Xu Jing handed over the assessment results, Li Tong didn't read them, he saw the end from the beginning, and he already had a general understanding in his heart.

Although he already had a spectrum in his heart before the assessment, when the results were presented in front of him, Li Tong's mood was still quite complicated.

It's not that the results of the assessment are unbearable, on the contrary, they are beyond his expectations, especially the performance of the main battles, which can be said to be a surprise. One of them, Zhao Changxing's main battle, hit twenty arrows in a row, none of them missed the target, and the skills of the bow and horse were so skillful that they were even much better than the daring warriors under him.

Looking through the book, Li Tong found that Zhao Changxing, including several other outstanding main battles, were all recommended by Wang Xiaojie at the beginning of the year. They were rewarded in Anxi, and they were recruited into Qianniuwei to serve as the main battle.

Moreover, this Zhao Changxing is actually a descendant of Zhao Gui, one of the Eight Pillars of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. However, it is obvious that his family is in the middle of the road, and he has to make contributions in the Western Regions before he can return to the capital.

Another horse archery is named Yang Fang, a son of the Yang family of Hongnong, a son of the Yang Zhirou clan, and now serves as a Qianniu guard.

On the contrary to these people, the thousands of oxen were prepared and prepared, and some of these people did not hit an arrow, and some of them did not even finish the arrow and returned with their strength. Even if there are targets, there are only a few.

Seeing this result, Li Tong secretly felt that today's assessment was indeed a bit rash, and everyone should not be allowed to compete in the same field, but should be conducted separately.

Such a stark contrast will make those who are prepared and the main soldiers feel that the court is unfair, and they are secretly angry in their hearts. The second will also make those thousands of cattle prepare to blame others under their shame, and may use their connections to suppress those who show off their strength.

If Li Tong has the absolute right to speak, he naturally doesn't have to worry about these, the brave are rewarded, and the weak are admonished. But now, he can't even praise those who have performed well with a clear attitude, otherwise it will be easy for others to participate in the selfish kindness.

Although he secretly regretted it in his heart, he still summoned Zhao Changxing, Yang Fang and several others to praise them. As for a few clumsy Qianniu preparations, they did not let go, including Pei Guangting, who led to today's incident.

A few thousand cattle were recruited to the front of the seat, and their expressions were naturally not good-looking, Li Tong looked at them, and just said: "Shame is brave, you wait for this body to receive it, it is not obtained out of thin air, the fathers have accumulated merit, loyalty and diligence for the country, and they have passed it on to this point, don't be cut in this world because of their own slackness." Bow and horse weapons are used, and the guards are all permanent, but they are willing to be a little diligent, so as not to expose the ugliness at this time. ”

When a few people heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned, they thought that His Royal Highness the Acting King would take advantage of this to make a big play and beat them hard, but they didn't expect it to be just a few bitter words. After being stunned, they were busy and confessed their crimes, saying that they must practice diligently in the future.

Waving his hand and letting go of a few people, Li Tong left Pei Guangting alone, motioned for him to sit in the side seat, and asked, "Is there any big problem with the shoulder and back fall?" ”

Pei Guangting was fifteen years old, he was thin and tall, and he fell off the horse directly on the shooting range, and he was covered in dust at this time, and his eyes were still red, and after hearing the words, he lowered his head and said: "When I was in court, I was kind and loving, I only learned poetry and books, and I didn't have to ride and shoot, and today I saw the humiliation of the shooting range, and I knew that I was ugly ......."

"In that case, why force yourself?"

Seeing that this kid is still a little self-aware, Li Tong's tone softened slightly.

"I beg the general not to be humiliated!"

When Pei Guangting heard this, his shoulders trembled suddenly, and he hurriedly knelt up from the seat: "Kindness is forbidden to enter the matter, and it is difficult to see it for a long time, only when you enter the arch, you can hurriedly glance at it......"

When Li Tong heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, he didn't expect that this kid was still a mother's treasure, and he served as a Qianniu reserve just so that he could enter the palace from time to time to see his mother.

But I have to say that this Pei family is really wide, I don't know how many powerful children want to prepare for Qianniu but can't, Pei Guangting can actually get one for such a reason. Such a cow, even Li Tong didn't dare to blow it.

However, Li Tong also understands that his father Pei Xingjian alone still can't do this step, Pei Guangting can serve as a Qianniu backup, mainly because of his mother's Di clan.

There are many female officials in the forbidden middle, and as early as a few years ago, the Di clan was the highest-level imperial official. Li Tong's family's former residence in Renzhi Yuan also received some care. In the future, the reason why Wu Sansi chose Pei Guangting as his son-in-law must be mostly due to this aspect.

But Li Tong also has to admit that this kid is really useless except for his good development, and he is not even proficient in basic equestrian skills.

Although Li Tong doesn't know Pei Xingjian, it is no exaggeration to say that if he doesn't count those old ministers whose fame was already in the Zhenguan period, Pei Xingjian can be said to be the first minister of the Gaozong Dynasty.

Although Li Tong also had to take care of the face of the Di family, he didn't think it was a good choice to keep Pei Guangting in Qianniuwei. Qianniu is already very bad, Pei Guangting is still a rat in it, it can be seen that this little mom treasure is a waste of hard power.

Of course, there are many kinds of human talents, and if you can't bow a horse, you won't be useless. At least in the future, Pei Guangting served as the prime minister in the Kaiyuan period, and Li Tong appreciated the qualifications for reforming the selection. No matter how many disadvantages this method has, it can greatly offset the gray operation space selected by Quan, so that the power belongs to the center, and it has positive value.

After a little silence, Li Tong said again: "If it's just like this, it's not that there is no other convenience to follow. It's not that I dislike Pei Lang, but the endowments of the living are different, and to force them to stay in this is only to waste your own talents and tarnish the reputation of your elders. ”

"The general is strict in the army, and he knows that he is unbearable, but, but it is really ......"

When Pei Guangting heard this, tears actually filled his eyes.

When Li Tong saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel even more headache, this kid estimated that his father died of illness before he was weaned, and it was all taken care of by his mother, and it was reasonable for him to grow into a mother. As a result, within a few years, his mother was also summoned to the forbidden place to be controlled, although the court was noble, but he was almost completely intimidated, and he really became introverted and sensitive, compared with his eldest brother Li Guangshun.

"Get up, my old residence is forbidden, and Mrs. Huayang will take care of me. Now that she has grown into trouble, she can't completely ignore the old favor and harm her calf-licking feelings. You stay in the Guard's Mansion, concentrate on the exercises, don't sneak up on the mess, even if you don't look at the bow and horse, you can also strengthen your body by practicing this skill often. ”

Li Tong raised his hand again and said, "Later, I will help you plan and arrange a more suitable ministry for you." ”

The body is so poor, don't keep thinking about marrying a daughter-in-law, you can learn well with good people, and you must not only learn bad from bad people, but also have a little green hat to wear.

After hearing this, Pei Guangting thanked him again and again, and then got up to leave.

Although Li Tong did not give any more orders, after a small test, many preparers still stayed between the shooting hall and the school field and began to practice various military skills.

Seeing this scene, Li Tong also nodded with satisfaction, you just have to practice, if you don't practice, how can the weapon be damaged, if it is not damaged and replaced, how can I steal it out and arm the warriors?

After returning to the yatang, he thought about it for a while, and arranged for Lego to go to Sigongtai to ask for instructions that he wanted to go to Ouchi's grandmother tonight to eat. After Wei Tuan'er left the palace, he had no channel to directly deliver his words in front of his grandmother.

But fortunately, his grandmother still has him in her heart, and after sealing the government in the evening, his own palace officials came to guide, and Li Tong rushed into the palace with a meal. After entering the palace, he saw that his aunt, Princess Taiping, was also in the banquet.

"Caution, the higher your power, the more arrogant you are, I told you a few days ago that your cousin and his young lady were discussing marriage, what did you say? As a result, I have been staying in the government since then, and I can't find it at all! ”

When Princess Taiping saw Li Tong entering, she was a little displeased.

After Li Tong heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "My aunt really misunderstood me, how dare I forget the advice of my elders?" In fact, no one in the yatang can do the work, and for the sake of official business, they can only postpone the family affairs first. ”

At this time, Wu Zetian in the palace also smiled and said: "Sitting down to eat, she is an outsider, can she know how hard it is for those who use things?" When children talk about marriage, they have their own relatives to preside, so why do you need to work for my general? ”

"There is a huge Zuo Qianniuwei, and no one can do it?"

When Princess Taiping heard this, she was a little suspicious: "The imperial court is already so short of scholars? I'm afraid that your ancestors and grandchildren are deceiving me and ignorance? ”

Li Tong sat down at the table, glanced at his grandmother, and then carefully explained the reason, and when he saw his aunt's eyes flickering slightly, he already knew in his heart that he had taken a fancy to his Qianniuwei position, so he grasped this topic.

"Now that I'm gossiping in court, I would like to ask my aunt if she has any talent? Although I don't dare to talk about my hard work, I have forgotten the customs of my home, and I am really thoughtful. ”

For his aunt's intentions, Li Tong is also supportive, he is stuck in this Zuo Qianniu guard and can't leave for a while, and he is hoping that someone will come in to relieve his embarrassment.

"What is this mean? It's just a night at the moment, if it's on the side, I don't know how many complaints there are, and I still can't bear to use you? ”

Wu Zetian scolded with a smile after hearing this, and his demeanor and tone were very relaxed.

When Princess Taiping saw this, she was encouraged: "Don't say that, prudence is obvious to all, but there is also no shortage of talents to be used in the wild." My nephew is bothered and sued me, and of course I can't ignore it. If it's someone else, you have to weigh it carefully. But if you stop there, open your mouth and come! ”

When Wu Zetian heard this, his face showed a little curiosity: "Oh? Let's listen to it, I also want to know that you are really a good girl? ”
