Chapter Twenty-Six: I Don't Love Red Makeup, I Love Arms
Of course, Li Hong was not happy to eat a steak outside for no reason, so as soon as he learned what Li Yifu had done from Li Xian's mouth, he was immediately angry, and he almost went back to the palace to find Li Zhi to complain. Where could Li Xian let this prince brother come so nonsense, and dragged him to death.
"That case was closed by my father, and if you go and say it now, if your father asks you where you heard all this nonsense, what should you say? When the time comes, Li Yifu will sue you for partiality and belief, and there is no need to say anything about the father, and you can afford the blame of the queen mother? For this matter, I have already been taught a lesson from the queen mother, and I have no reason to bring you to ask for it! ”
"Is that all?" Li Hong was really angry with Li Yifu's arrogant face today, and stomped his feet fiercely and said, "He actually spoke like that, who did he think he was!" ”
It was the first time for Li Xian to see such a big fire as Li Hongfa, and no matter how good his heart was, a person with a good temperament would also have fire. After a few easy words, he patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, this matter is on me!" He Li Yifu is not a decent person with two sleeves, and he can't grasp the handle at all, so many handles are ready-made, are you still afraid that he will run away? Fifth brother, you must remember that these things must be hidden in your heart, don't tell anyone! ”
Li Hong is used to obeying Li Xianyan, so naturally he has no second words. After returning to the palace, the two brothers parted ways as if nothing happened, and Li Xian, who had one more heart, understood that sooner or later the matter would reach the ears of Empress Wu, this time it would not work for a good person to sue first, so he went to Empress Wu by himself to reveal the words, and then pitifully pretended to be a good person, and vigorously reviewed his own fault. This trick really worked, and Empress Wu's brows relaxed, and she taught two sentences innocentially.
"That's it, you are also wholeheartedly taking care of your fifth brother's body, and besides, it is all unintentional, who knows that the proprietor of Ankang Building actually fornicated with Goryeo? Since Li Yifu blamed you, and you took the matter down on behalf of Hong'er and confessed your mistake to me, I don't blame you. The prime minister is the prime minister, don't make fun of the prime minister in the future, you know! ”
After listening to the words, Li Xian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt a hand rubbing on his head, knowing that it was the Empress Wu who had not finished speaking, and suddenly acted silently as a good son.
"You can speak at the age of half a year, you are a little person and well-behaved and clever, whether it is me or your father, I have always liked you as much as I liked Hong'er. Your brothers are harmonious, and I, as a mother, am naturally happy, so I have always been up to you, but there is one thing, state affairs are state affairs, if you have a conflict with the prime minister, I will never favor my son! Li Yifu is the prime minister, and there will inevitably be nonsense and slander outside, if you hear it in the future, tell me one by one, and I will send someone to deal with it! ”
After a slight pause, the stern voice gradually softened again: "The British Duke is willing to teach you wholeheartedly, and you will study hard." As for the incident mentioned earlier, I told your father that the palace maids in the palace are up to you, but there is one thing, this is not nonsense, if it is not in a proper manner, your father and I will definitely punish you! ”
Gentle-stern-gentle voice again, soft-heavy-gentle movements again, Li Xian keenly felt the emotional changes of Empress Wu, and finally nodded in compliance. If he runs here today to complain because of Li Yifu's arrogance, he will really hit the muzzle.
Three days later, when Li Xian stood on the steps in front of the Feixiang Hall and looked down at the black pressure below, he really gasped. Well, this is only Luoyang Palace, not Chang'an, and only a small part of it has been recruited, and there are almost hundreds of people below. It seems that people say that there are 3,000 fans in the harem, which is really true.
However, there are indeed a lot of itchy eyes, and there are also many miserable ones. He swept the faces of anticipation, but his heart was lamenting. Of course, the palace doesn't accept ugly women, the problem is that even if you are born beautiful, if you overdo it, it will still be ugly. It's a pity that the truth of being too late is not the standard of the times, and there are very few people who are lightly swept and their eyebrows are facing the sky.
Ever since he boasted about Haikou in front of Empress Wu, the matter of the drill spread quickly. At this time, he could even see a lot of women in female official costumes watching the excitement. If it weren't for the fact that there are few concubines in the palace now, and the princess is not born to the Empress Wu and can't run around, I'm afraid there will be more onlookers. However, from Li Zhi and Empress Wu, down to these people, it is estimated that most of them think that he is messing around. In a few days, Pei Wang's lustful reputation will only spread widely, of course, this will not do him much harm.
The criteria for selecting people are actually very simple: the palace maid around the age of fifteen selects forty-nine people, and the palace maid around the age of ten selects forty-nine people, requiring a well-proportioned figure, as for the appearance, it doesn't matter, just be beautiful. Therefore, he glanced at Helan Yan, who was majestic and dressed in tight men's clothes next to him, and motioned for her to choose the palace maids, and he gave a few instructions to Ah Luo beside him, telling her to choose those girls with good physique.
Li Xian had already made a wishful calculation, a woman's body was originally inferior to a man's, so no matter how much the older palace maid practiced, she would not form a combat power. As for girls, they have a certain degree of plasticity, and with a little training, they can do some other things. When the time comes, let the two go through the queue once, and it is estimated that the effect will be sensational. And he only needs to play a little trick and think of a way, and these other uses can be brought into play.
It wasn't for King Pei to come down to pick people personally, and many palace maids who had been dressed up for a long time were a little disappointed, but they still puffed up their chests one by one and waited for screening, and there were not a few who scratched their heads and made postures.
Helan Yan was holding a horsewhip in his hand, and he was still interested at the beginning and looked at it carefully, but the more he looked at it, the worse his face became, and in the end, he barely snorted coldly. Obviously, she was choosing someone, but the eyes of these palace maids were all looking at Li Xian above, as if a fly was biting an egg. Now that's it, she won't be trampled on by them in the future, how can she pay it back!
In a fit of rage, she suddenly stopped, and the whip in her hand swung violently into the air, and immediately let out a sharp sound of breaking the air, successfully pulling most people's attention back.
As soon as Li Xian saw that Helan Yan seemed to be going crazy, he immediately nodded to a chamberlain next to him. The chamberlain took a step forward in understanding, and shouted in a sharp voice: "His Royal Highness King Pei is ordered by His Majesty and Niangniang to select palace people to practice. Whoever chooses will be given a bronze waist card, two sets of new clothes, and then gather to participate in the drill every day, and hereby announce the ten articles of military law! ”
"Those who are late to the drill will be dismissed, and the palace departments will never be hired!"
"Those who make any noise during the drill will be dismissed, and the palace officials will never be hired!"
"Those who do not obey the military orders during the drill will be dismissed, and the palace departments will never be hired!"
……
The following is the order of gratitude. After March, the two sides will be drilled, and a total of 10 people will be rewarded with 100 yuan, a brocade robe, a silver medal, and each will be given the number of red cavalry captain and green cavalry captain, and then the food will be ...... seven products."
Seeing the pairs of frightened eyes mixed with surprise below, Li Xian couldn't help but smile proudly. He didn't want to do the bloody act of killing, and for these palace maids who wanted to climb the high branches, retiring and never hiring were probably more terrible than death. There are penalties and no rewards, of course, it can't inspire people's fighting spirit, and now he is gracious and powerful to conduct a three-month drill and make a women's army full of scenes, and there is probably no problem.
