For officials? Outward?

The first half of the sentence is nothing unusual, but what does the second half of the sentence mean by being released? I only heard that the officials in the court were demoted or released as officials because of the imperial examination, and the officials of the internal affairs government could also be released from the outside? Where to put it?

Changsun Chong stood in the crowd, his heart itching like a cat scratching, he wanted to know very much, but he didn't dare to ask. I just happened to see a person standing next to him, somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. Just when he was also a gentleman in Chang'an City, he raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, Changsun Chong was originally a bull-eared person in the circle of Chang'an City, and he never remembered his name for the second-class gentleman.

"Hey!" The eldest grandson Chong saw this person turn around, and then he could see it clearly, looking at this person's face, he didn't look like a person in the circle, but like a teacher, but he didn't care, looking at these three hundred applicants, who could be higher than him?

The eldest grandson Chong asked unceremoniously, "You know me, right?" ”

This person glanced at the eldest grandson Chong, and Shi Li said, "I have seen the prince of Zhao Guogong." ”

"You do me a favor and ask Zhulu Hou, what does it mean that the officials of the Internal Affairs Department are released?" The eldest grandson Chong gave orders directly, without even asking what the people's names were.

The man hesitated, nodded, turned to look at Li Mu on the steps, and said loudly: "Zhulu Hou, the student has a doubt, and I hope that the Hou Ye will answer it." ”

"Huh?"

Li Mu heard the voice and looked over, only to see that this was a young man who was about the same age as him in his previous life, about twenty-seven or eighteen and less than thirty, with a short beard on his chin, and the temperament of the whole person was like a teacher. At his age, in the social environment of Datang, he is no longer young, but he calls himself a 'student', which is a bit intriguing.

Li Mu raised his hand and pointed at this person, and said, "If you have any doubts, come forward and answer." ”

Everyone's eyes converged on the past, and this person was not timid, he came out of the crowd, came to the front of everyone, looked up at Li Mu, and said: "Student Ma Zhou, a person from Qinghe, once worked as a teaching assistant in Bozhou, and is now a guest at General Chang He's mansion for General Chang He, handling some official documents and other miscellaneous matters for General Chang He. General Chang He appreciated it and invested 100 yuan to register for the students. ”

After briefly introducing himself, Ma Zhou stopped talking nonsense, went straight to the topic, and said: "The student has two doubts in his heart, and I hope the Hou Ye will answer them." First, why don't you get the money back if you don't choose? Second, how can officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs be released? Will there be a local government of internal affairs in the future? ”

Li Mu condensed his eyebrows and looked at Ma Zhou, after coming to Datang, he rarely saw a person who spoke so crisply, to the point, concise and to the point, clear logic, and no nonsense. Moreover, he noticed Ma Zhou's eyes. Calm and clear, he only cared about the outcome of the problem, without the slightest sense of fear.

Like a talent!

This is Ma Zhou's first impression of Li Mu.

But this does not mean that Li Mu will give him a good look. What's wrong with talent? When you get to Ben Hou's subordinates, is the dragon or the tiger lying down, ask and ask a fart, Ben Hou is so free to serve you?

"First, why don't you refund the money? Because Benhou is willing. Second, how to release it externally, and whether to set up an internal affairs office in the local area, is it something you should ask? ”

Li Mu walked down the steps, pointed at Ma Zhou's chest, and said, "You are not qualified yet, when you are finally selected, you will know what you should know." What you shouldn't know, you shouldn't ask, it's called proportion. Got it? ”

Ma Zhou's body stiffened, probably because his self-esteem was a little frustrated, he bowed down, didn't say anything, and retreated into the crowd.

Li Mu looked at everyone and said, "Gather here tomorrow, and those who are late will be regarded as eliminated." From now on, Ben Hou doesn't need you to have any doubts, you just have to remember, do what Ben Hou says, and the last fifty people can be officials in the Internal Affairs Office. Just remember this one-" After saying that, Li Mu waved his hand: "Scatter!" ”

Everyone looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, they are helpless, they have to go home!

……

The next day.

Li Mu came early, except for his right-hand man, Hum Ha Second General, Li Chongyi and Dugu Jiu. Changsun Chong, Wang Pu, and Tang Guan were also beside him, Li Mu was expressionless, watching yesterday's applicants come one by one, watching the sundial pass the hour, he asked Li Chongyi next to him, and said, "How many people came?" ”

Li Chongyi was tall and saw far away, counted it, and said, "Big brother, eighteen are missing." ”

"Pass my word, these eighteen people, eliminated!"

At this moment, several carriages came in a hurry, and several people got out of the carriages and ran to this end. Li Mu glanced at it, Li Chongyi raised his hand and pointed, and immediately a few freshly dressed and angry Jinyi guards went over and stopped people. Some people were not convinced, and Jinyiwei was not polite, so he was directly knocked out and dragged away.

Everyone was related, and they were secretly glad that they were not late, at least they didn't have to understand the fist of the strong man in the brocade clothes.

Li Mu took the 'megaphone' he had made overnight yesterday from Dugu Jiu's hand, put it in front of his mouth, and said loudly: "I'm glad to tell you that you have passed the first test, and as an official of the Internal Affairs Office, punctuality is something that must be done." Any success starts with punctuality. I hope that in the future, you will also take punctuality as a rule of life, be strict with yourself, and abide by the rules. ”

"Next, I'm going to announce the next arrangement."

"Do you know why I am strict about young people under the age of thirty? Now let me tell you the reason, as an official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you can't do it without good physical strength. The body is the capital to do anything, and I don't want the officials of the Internal Affairs Office to be like those moths in the Imperial Tower, who eat vegetarian meals in the corpse position, and do nothing but find fault with others all day long! So, next, I'm going to test your stamina! ”

As soon as Li Mu raised his hand, Li Chongyi and Dugu Jiu pulled out a silk cloth, and on the silk cloth was a map. Li Mu pointed to the location of the five-pointed star drawn on the map, and said, "Go out from the city gate and arrive at this valley, no more, no less, twenty miles!" Now, everyone runs, and if they arrive in the valley before noon, they will be considered qualified. I have arranged for the cook to prepare the roast meat and wine in the valley, and eat it whenever you want, if you can't. I'm sorry, but I don't have wine and meat, I deserve to starve to death, and at the same time, I have to be eliminated! ”

Li Mu pointed at Li Chongyi and Jinyiwei, and said, "My brother will take Jinyiwei to supervise you, and they will run with you." There are people from Jinyiwei along the road, so you don't have to bother to make a bad idea, it is impossible to succeed. Give me an honest run, remember, before noon. ”

After speaking, Li Mu took the order flag handed by Dugu Jiu and waved it. Then he turned around and got into the carriage, and Changsun Chong and Tang Guan were about to follow, but they were kicked down by Li Mu.

"How many of you fart? Run, go home! ”

Dropping these words, Dugu Jiu threw down his whip, and the carriage walked up gracefully. Everyone looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, and there is a meaning in their eyes: to run or not to run?

When everyone hesitated, Ma Zhou was the first to lift up his robe and tie it around his waist, and strode away. Immediately, one of the brocade guards left the team and followed, and when the others saw this, some of them also ran after their fate. There were also some hesitants, seeing that more and more people were running, and they reluctantly followed. It is not for nothing that people give up, but there are very few, less than ten. The brocade guards did not stop them, and appointed them to leave.

Everyone left, Li Chongyi looked at Changsun Chong, Tang Guan and Wang Pu, and asked hard, "Do you want to run?" If you want to run, you will be eliminated. ”

The eldest grandson Chong looked up at Li Chongyi and said, "Big man, we are also acquaintances." Can you discuss, do you look at my physique, like a person who can run twenty miles? You see what you need, and you say, as long as I can do it, I will be satisfied. Can you secretly lend me a horse and let me ride it? ”

Wang Pu didn't say anything, just nodded. Tang Guan and Li Chongyi were a little more familiar, and said with a hippie smile: "Chongyi, my brother is your eldest brother, he is still my brother, and we are also brothers." Brother and brother, can you bear to let me run twenty miles? ”

Li Chongyi was unmoved at all and said, "Big brother said, twenty miles." It's okay if you don't run, eliminate. ”

The three of them suddenly frowned and pleaded. Li Chongyi's face was expressionless, and there was no trace of reaction. At this time, a brocade guard next to him spoke up: "I said you people, aren't you twenty miles?" It's only an hour, and there's still two hours left. Even if you can't run, you can walk. If you delay any longer, there is really no hope. If you want me to say, let's hurry up. Grinding or not grinding! ”

The eldest grandson rushed to the past and glared angrily, and said, "You have the right to speak-" Halfway through his words, he suddenly recognized that this Jinyiwei turned out to be Li Xiaogong's son Li Chongyi, and the second half of the sentence suddenly choked back, and said with an embarrassed smile: "It turned out to be Wang Shizi, you, why are you ......?"

Li Chongyi's face was full of pride, and he said, "The eldest brother has already told my father to allow me to join Jinyiwei." Start from the lowest lieutenant and be promoted. Yesterday, I have passed all the assessments of Jinyiwei, and you will be stunned for twenty miles? Yesterday I ran 20 miles round trip, a total of 40 miles! He said a little impatiently, and said, "Do you want to run or not?" If we don't run, we'll go, and I'll want to eat meat!" ”

The eldest grandson Chong looked desperate and said angrily: "It's not that you can't run...... But why is we the only ones running, why doesn't he run? It's not fair, twenty miles, to put it lightly, why doesn't he try what it's like?! ”

"You dare to call me big brother?" Li Chongyi stared at the beads of his eyes, Li Mu helped him get the matter of participating in the Jinyi Guard, in his eyes, he was like a fairy, and it was not allowed to be blasphemed. Others are afraid of Changsun Chong, but he is not afraid, so he wants to fight Changsun Chong.

Li Chongyi stretched out his hand to stop him, glanced at the eldest grandson, and said, "The prince doesn't need to complain, the choice is in your hands, you can just eliminate it without running." But there is one thing to tell you, my eldest brother has not run, and part of the training regulations of Jinyiwei were formulated by the eldest brother. He has made demonstrations of the projects he has developed. Jin Yiwei usually trains, that is, twenty miles round trip. ”

After saying this, Li Chongyi didn't care about the three of them anymore, and gave an order, and the rest of the brocade guards lined up in two columns and ran in unison.

Wang Pu watched Jinyiwei run farther and farther, stomped his feet, and ran along.

Tang Guan saw that it was inevitable, and he followed with a helpless face.

Only the eldest grandson Chong was left with a big fat man, and his tears were about to fall. He is now very sure that Li Mu just wants to fix him, otherwise why would he be running! He looked down at his belly, and scolded in his heart, let a fat man of more than 200 pounds run twenty miles, you can be a person, okay!

It was really no problem, the eldest grandson Chong gritted his teeth, and followed behind with a snort.

……

The carriage was not fast, and it was not bumpy at all. Li Mu was lying on the bed, but he didn't sleep, he was practicing.

Skills.

After studying the "Taixuan Sutra" given by Sun Simiao and the "Sunflower Treasure Book" created by Gao Gonggong, Li Mu already has a preliminary understanding of what internal strength is.

Internal power is the method of controlling the 'qi' in the body. The process of letting the 'qi' pass through the acupuncture points around the body in a certain order, and finally converging into the sea of dantian qi is the practice. And this order, some of which are very efficient, and some of which are very inefficient. Recording the rules of efficient operation is a so-called "secret book".

Understanding this truth, Li Mu can start to 'customize' his own internal strength.

He found Liu Shenwei and asked for a copy of "Acupuncture and Moxibustion A and B Sutra", a medical book written by the Jin Dynasty physician Huangfu Mi, which lists in detail the major acupuncture points around the human body.

The human body has 14 meridians, 12 meridians and 2 Ren and Du meridians, and 409 acupuncture points, including 361 acupuncture points on 14 meridians and 48 extrameridian acupoints. To put it simply, to create an internal skill is to arrange and combine these acupuncture points.

This is a bit like the work that Li Mu did in his previous life, as a game data balance designer, he is no stranger to this kind of work.

Moreover, through the study of "Taixuan Sutra" and "Sunflower Treasure Book", Li Mu also came to an experience.

"Taixuan Sutra" and "Sunflower Treasure Book" can be said to be two representative exercises in the internal strength, "Taixuan Sutra" is the Taoist internal strength, follow the rules, one board and one eye, the effect is slow, but solid, there are almost no hidden dangers.

The "Sunflower Treasure Book" emphasizes quick success, the sword goes sideways, and the effect is fast, but the foundation is not strong, and once there is a deviation, it may die at any time.

Li Mu analyzed the acupuncture points and meridians used in the two books, as well as the trajectory of qi, and found that the movement of qi in the Taixuan Sutra mostly occurred in the twelve canons, while the Sunflower Treasure Book mostly occurred in the two veins of Ren and Du.

Combined with the setting that in his previous life, he saw that the skill of opening the second vein of Ren Du in martial arts would increase greatly, Li Mu boldly guessed that the reason for the quick effect of "Sunflower Treasure Book" must be the use of unique means, such as cutting off Ding Ding, opening up one of the two veins of Ren Du, and then starting luck from the meridians of this vein, it can be a thousand miles a day. In other words, Rendu's second pulse is like a high-speed train, starting at 300 per hour. The advantage of this method is that it gathers limited resources in one place, twists them into a rope, and makes efforts in one place, and the results are naturally fast.

The Twelve Righteous Classics are like ordinary railways, they can transport materials, that is, 'qi' to all parts of the body, but because they are dispersed to the whole body, the density of the qi decreases, and the efficiency also decreases. But this is like 'hiding the wealth from the people', accumulating to a certain extent, the effect will also be revealed.
