Chapter 314: Gao Yang
Chapter 338: Gao Yang
August 21 of the tenth year of the Tang Dynasty. On this day, the sun was like fire, the hot wind overflowed, and the clouds gathered and dispersed. The residents of Chang'an City looked up at the sky and saw the clouds rushing and mighty, as if something big was about to happen.
At the court meeting, a major event did happen. When Li Shimin once again came up with a military reform plan, many ministers spoke out against it. However, this time Li Shimin seems to be iron-hearted, and he must change. No matter how those ministers persuaded and stated the evils, Li Shimin was always unmoved.
Whenever an official talked about a malaise, a group of ministers such as the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling came out, either refuting them or proposing solutions, which made these ministers speechless for a while.
In the end, this matter of reforming the military system was finally passed in Menxia Province. Of course, this edict had to be redrafted. Stamped with the seal of the province and the emperor, it was handed over to the Shangshu Province for execution.
Seeing that the big seal fell, Zhang Yunwen's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In this military reform plan, from Chang'an to the prefectures and counties, from Guanzhong to the four borders, from the 12 guards to every military government in the locality, there was a big vibration. The border army, recruitment, Long March athletes, the southern and northern ya, and a military police, all of which were suppressed, made those elite government soldiers scratch their heads, how to change this military reform?
Therefore, at the beginning, there were not many government soldiers who signed up to join the recruitment. The military governments everywhere are not very active, and those government soldiers who are dragging their families are all watching.
The east side is not bright, and the west side is bright. There are not many people who have signed up to join the recruitment, but groups of young people who are about seventeen or eighteen years old have enthusiastically joined the recruitment team.
For this situation, Li Shimin and the ministers were helpless. Truth be told, they want the battle-hardened veterans more than the recruits who spend a lot of time training.
However, the addition of these teenagers has made the entire Tang army full of vitality and set an example for recruitment. When the soldiers saw that the government had truthfully divided the fields or arranged housing for them in the prefecture and county, these soldiers finally began to act and joined the long queue.
The expansion of the reconnaissance battalion in October, coupled with the reform of the military system, mixed all things together, really kept Zhang Yunwen busy. When he returned home slightly tired, he found that the house was already in a mess, but it was the two little ones who had a conflict, from the beginning of the quarrel to the later hands-on, and even a fight.
Li Yu asked them to pull them away, and just as they were about to reprimand, Zhang Yunwen came back.
"What's going on?" Zhang Yunwen's heart couldn't help but fire slightly. I was so busy outside that my feet didn't touch the ground, and when I returned home, I wanted to have a good rest, but two guys came to add to the blockage, which suddenly made Zhang Yunwen a little angry.
As soon as Li Yu saw Zhang Yunwen coming back, he was immediately overjoyed, and pointed to Princess Gaoyang and Li Shen and said, "The concubine doesn't know what's going on, but when I came, I saw the seventeenth sister and the tenth brother fighting!" ”
Zhang Yunwen looked at the two of them, only to see Li Shen's body shrink and subconsciously hide behind a tree, while Princess Gaoyang looked at Zhang Yunwen with a stubborn face, and her big dark eyes were full of injustice.
Looking at the performance of these two people, Zhang Yunwen suddenly had a number in his heart. Although Li Shen reads poetry and books to the fullest, he is also full of nerds, but he is much worse at receiving people and things. Although the current Princess Gaoyang is only six or seven years old, she is stubborn and competitive, and she loves to turn the horns, and I don't know how this character is developed. When the two had a conflict, it must have been Li Shen who offended Princess Gaoyang somewhere and provoked this stubborn and competitive princess.
At that moment, the pear-shaped crypt asked solemnly: "What is going on with the two of you, come and tell me in detail!" ”
Li Shen glanced at Princess Gaoyang, only to see the latter hanging his head and not knowing what he was thinking.
Glancing at the maids and servants who were watching from all sides, Zhang Yunwen said sharply with a hideous face: "If anyone tells this today, don't blame the master for being ruthless, he will definitely be killed!" ”
Where have these maids and servants seen Zhang Yunwen's expression like this, they suddenly nodded like pounding garlic, and then quickly scattered.
In an instant, only Zhang Yunwen and his wife and a half-grown prince and princess were left in the entire courtyard.
Zhang Yunwen put away his expression and said to Li Shen seriously: "Li Shen, you first tell me what's going on!" “
Li Shenyu hesitated to glance at Zhang Yunwen, then at Princess Gaoyang, and suddenly said in a lamented voice: "Second, second brother-in-law, yes, it was the seventeenth sister who did it first!" ”
Zhang Yunwen looked at Li Shen's body, which was covered with dust, and his eyes were slightly red, obviously taking a pink punch from Princess Gaoyang. And Princess Gaoyang is also covered in dust.
"Then why did she do it first?"
"Because, because ......" Li Shen lowered his head and said with a sigh in his mouth.
"Hmph, manly husband, you have to be a mother-in-law and mother when you say anything, since you say something, you must have the courage to admit it! Look at what you look like now, what do you like! Looking at Li Shen's cowardly appearance, Zhang Yunwen couldn't help but say slightly angrily.
"Because I said that the seventeenth sister is a girl without a mother!" Li Shen listened to Zhang Yunwen's words and finally said it.
When Zhang Yunwen heard this, his heart suddenly softened.
At this time, Princess Gaoyang suddenly separated the crowd and ran out.
Seeing this, Zhang Yunwen glanced at Li Shen fiercely: "Look at the good things you kid has done!" He's your sister, how can you say that! Don't chase it with me! ”
Gaoyang princess Li Shu, whose mother is unknown, is estimated to have passed away when she was very young. Therefore, Li Shimin is also very fond of him, only worse than Princess Jinyang and Princess Changle born to Empress Changsun. The word mother is probably a pain in her heart!
After chasing for a short distance in the direction that Princess Gao Yang ran out, I saw Princess Gao Yang wearing some dark green palace clothes squatting under a big locust tree, her head buried in the crook of her arm, and her arms twitching slightly, as if she was sobbing softly.
Zhang Yunwen motioned for Li Shen to wait here, and slowly walked to Princess Gaoyang's side, and called softly: "Princess Gaoyang? ”
Princess Gao Yang raised her head and saw that there were tears flashing in her eyes. Seeing that it was Zhang Yunwen, she wiped her eyes lightly and said in a low voice: "Second brother-in-law!" ”
Zhang Yunwen smiled: "Gao Yang, how did you run out?" People are worried about you! ”
Gao Yang glanced around, and when he saw Li Shen not far away, he immediately snorted angrily.
Seeing her like this, Zhang Yunwen chuckled, but explained: "Gao Yang, do you know that the second brother-in-law has forgotten what his mother looks like, and even his father has a very faint impression!" ”
Hearing Zhang Yunwen say this, Princess Gaoyang suddenly looked at him, looking forward to Zhang Yunwen's next words.
Zhang Yunwen continued: "When I was very young, probably only one or two years old, my mother passed away. My father raised me until I was 12 years old and died in the war. A twelve-year-old child of mine followed a family surnamed Liu and recognized two children of the Liu family as his elder brother. Until I was fifteen years old, when your father led an army to attack Luoyang, I went out of the city at night and surrendered to Your Majesty......"
"Okay, second brother-in-law, you've talked about it later!" At this time, Princess Gaoyang's face had calmed down, and a pair of eyes looked at Zhang Yunwen, "I understand what the second brother-in-law means!" The second brother-in-law wants me to cherish my father and my younger brothers and sisters, right? ”
Zhang Yunwen couldn't help but secretly praise the ice and snow intelligence of this Princess Gaoyang, and said: "Well, it's so! I'm afraid that even if your mother looks at you from the sky, she will be sad to see you so sad! So, Gao Yang, you can reminisce, but don't get stuck in the past! ”
Princess Gao Yang was stunned for a moment, and then Zhanyan smiled slightly: "Okay, I listen to the second brother-in-law!" ”
Zhang Yunwen nodded: "Okay, since that's the case, then let's go back first!" ”
Gao Yang nodded vigorously.
When he walked to Li Shen's side, Li Shen looked at Princess Gaoyang, who had a calm face, and whispered, "Seventeenth sister, I was wrong just now!" ”
Before she finished speaking, Princess Gao Yang waved her hand and said, "Don't say it, Brother Ten, let's go over the past!" ”
Li Shen was stunned for a moment, but Zhang Yunwen smiled slightly, and gently patted Li Shen on the shoulder: "Xiao Shen, this is right, you have to take responsibility for doing things with the courage of a man!" ”
When Li Shen heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and walked behind Zhang Yunwen.
However, this matter did not end there, when Zhang Yunwen accompanied these children back to the palace that night and told Li Shimin about these things, Li Shimin was first furious, and then after hearing Zhang Yunwen's solution, he bowed slightly.
"Regardless of who is right and who is wrong, it is not right for brothers and sisters to do it! Thanks to Yunwen's persuasion! Zhang Yunwen, who had experienced the Xuanwumen Incident, had some understanding of Li Shimin's attitude. Although Li Shimin is against his brothers, he will never want to see his children like his own generation, killing each other and boiling beans.
At this time, the eldest grandson who was sitting on the side suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I have seen that these days, whether it is a child or a child such as Gao Yang, his body has become much stronger and his temperament is much more cheerful, thanks to Yunwen's training!" In recent days, the official affairs of the DPRK and China have been heavy, so why not let the children stop training first, and then continue training when the days are free, what do you think, Your Majesty? ”
When Li Shimin heard this, he glanced at Zhang Yunwen, pondered for a moment, and said to Zhang Yunwen: "Yunwen, this time is indeed very busy, the reconnaissance battalion is going to be expanded, the military system is going to be changed, and there are still a lot of official duties to do, so it's better to stop first!" ”
Zhang Yunwen suddenly said: "It's all up to Your Majesty's orders!" Now the princes and princesses have mastered the basic movements of exercise, as long as they can persist in doing it every day, they will be able to be as strong as an ox! ”
Hearing Zhang Yunwen say this, Li Shimin smiled embarrassedly: "Hehe, if it weren't for the busy business, even I would have gone to Yunwen to have a good look, what did you do to make my child so strong!" ”
Zhang Yunwen smiled faintly and stopped talking, but his heart was slightly relieved, and now he finally threw away these burdens! But thinking that I can't continue to communicate with Li Zhi anymore, I can't help but feel a little regretful!
