Time is like an arrow, and it has come to the end of the year!

These days, Luo Tong is so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, he has a full schedule every day, in the morning, as always, practicing martial arts, and then going to school, after school, in the palace martial arts arena with Li Shimin to learn archery and practice archery. After dinner, Li Shimin was twisted to the study to learn the art of war for half an hour. This treatment can arouse the envy and jealousy of many people. In fact, in addition to his name, Luo Tong is a protégé of the Son of Heaven!

Every day, Li Shimin is half dead!

Luo Tong's qualifications are against the sky, which did make Li Shimin move the idea of accepting apprentices, if it weren't for the emperor's identity, he would have included Luo Tong in his disciples.

Although he has no name, Luo Tong's education is a real and strict teacher's demeanor, except for martial arts, he grasps everything and everything tightly! Every day, Luo Tong had to be assigned a lot of homework, both military and daily political affairs, which made Luo Tong miserable and tired like a dead dog.

However, the hard work has paid off a huge reward. Especially in archery, it is simply advancing by leaps and bounds!

Not only did he learn Li Shimin's stunts such as opening the bow left and right, playing in the water with double dragons, and the nine-star chain, but he also learned the "Imperial Bow Technique" passed on by Li Guang, which was the first person after Li Guang, and the great achievements and the speed of progress were shocking.

The final result was to alarm the emperor Li Yuan, who was in charge of creating people in the palace, and after some chatting, he was introduced by Li Yuan as a confidant, and almost cut off the head of the chicken to burn yellow paper and tie the knot Jinlan. It's just that the way these two people become confidants is really unbearable, what is the fire across the mountain, the old man's cart, a dragon and two phoenixes, Guanyin lotus, Yuzhu flounder, jade, jade tree back garden flower...... Li Shimin blushed and spurned, and tried it on Empress Changsun indignantly! Even, every time the old and the young create a stunt, no matter how hard and tired they are, they have to be the only loyal listeners, and the result of this listening directly leads to the eldest grandson queen becoming pregnant.

Today's school has changed from the dullness of the past, and is filled with a different kind of happy atmosphere.

For no other reason, today is the last day of this semester, just like the summer vacation in the afterlife, but the months are different.

As the highest university in the Tang Dynasty, Hongwen Hall naturally has its own rules.

Students who enter the school have one day off every ten days, and there are three long holidays every year, and the period of May is called "field vacation" (farming); In September, there is a "clothing leave" (changing winter clothes), and finally the Spring Festival holiday.

Tomorrow is the 25th day of the lunar month, and the purpose of their coming to school today is not to attend classes, but to wait for fate to come.

As in later generations, there is a big test before each long vacation, and then it is graded according to the answers.

There is no presidential score here, just that you are asked to dictate an explanation of 100 verses, with 80 percent of the answers getting it right, 60 percent getting it in the middle, and 50 percent of it getting worse. The end of this poor person is tragic. It means that you have to say goodbye to the long holiday, and you will face mandatory make-up classes. So some people are happy and some are sad, but most people are still optimistic.

After all, this is the highest university in the Tang Dynasty, and the students are not the children of high-ranking cadres who were born into famous families, and their families are rich, and it is really difficult to stump them with some explanations of ancient meanings.

Luo Tong is the same, but when other students are still junior high school students and high school students, he is already a master's level top student, and he is still focusing on liberal arts, and those famous sentences and famous sayings in "The Book of Songs", "Book of Rites", and "Analects" are really difficult to pose a threat to him.

As he expected, Luo Tong's score was at the top of the list, and Sister Changle at the same table was the eye of the list, and Cheng Lingsu became the eye of the list; Qin Huaiyu and the Four Immortals also made a lot of progress, and they narrowly passed the passing line.

There is progress, and naturally there is a decline.

Unexpectedly, the eldest grandson of the "Little Poetry Saint" only got one in this test.

It must be known that the eldest grandson Chong was originally at an age when he should have finished his studies and entered the court as an official. But the eldest grandson Chong is still studying in Hongwen, the purpose is obviously to get the moon near the water, just for Princess Changle.

He had been in Hongwen Hall for five or six years, and during those four years, he had always failed in his tests. But now he has got one, which is really eye-catching.

Even Luo Tong was surprised.

Since he smashed Changsun Chong's aura that time, Changsun Chong has been glaring at himself, thinking that Changsun Chong will come to find him, but he has not moved. Especially recently, he seems to have changed as a different person, and he is a little confused, and I don't know what happened to him.

If Luo Tong and Princess Changle are high-ranking scholars, Fang Yiai and Du He, who are sitting behind them, are the scum of the eighteenth layer of hell, and the youngest ten-year-old dolls in Hongwen have all passed the exam, and these two brothers are not even ten ten, this result can't be easy with scum! In this era when children have no human rights and sticks are filial sons, the two famous dishes of "stewed meat with bamboo shoots" and "firewood turkey" are probably waiting for them to go home and enjoy.

In the early stage of this holiday, Kong Yingda, the owner of Hongwen Hall, began to instill ideological education in everyone again. said a lot of ancient celebrities, what Zu Di's smell of chickens and dances, and Su Qin's hanging beam thorns, it is nothing more than to plan for them not to waste the precious time of the holiday, but to use their best efforts on studying.

is worthy of being a great Confucian, Kong Yingda spoke, it was really quoting scriptures, ten thousand ghosts retreating, and a set of esoteric and incomprehensible tirades were enough to speak for nearly an hour, and then stopped! Then the contemporary Confucian Xu Wenyuan, a god-shattering deism of ghosts and gods, directly pushed everyone into the arms of the daughter of the Zhou family.

Finally!

The students who have been released cheered and celebrated one by one!

Luo Tong, Qin Huaiyu, and the five immortals of Peach Valley celebrated by making an appointment with the Taogen Immortal "Cheng Chumo", who had become an official, and then went to Luo Tong's house to eat, and then fists and feet each other.

Bidding farewell to Princess Changle, a group of seven people stepped out of the door!

Luo Tong suddenly felt something, and looked back along the feeling, but saw the lonely Fang Yiai and Du He looking at his group with envious eyes.

"Beloved, Qinglian! Together, right? Luo Tong thought for a moment, then smiled and invited!

Hongwenguan is a small imperial court, just like the court, it is divided into three and distinct. One faction is the children of civil officials, the other is the children of military generals, and the other is the children of the royal family!

Of course, everything can't be said in one word, like Chai Lingwu, the second son of Chai Shao, who was born noble, fell to the children of civil officials, he is the son of a military general of the scholar clan, and he looks down on Luo Tong, Qin Huaiyu, and the six immortals of the Cheng family who are the children of grassroots-born military generals! And Fang Yiai and Du He are different, they have their own series, and they obviously got the warning of Fang Du Erxiang!

Luo Tong found that Xiao Fang Du wanted to fit in with them, but he couldn't find a reason! After these days of observation, he found that the two of them were full of evil deeds, but their conduct was not bad, and they were the kind of upright people who could stick a knife in the ribs for their friends, and they were still worth befriending. Seeing the lonely envious appearance of the two, he invited Fang Duer when he thought of Fang Duer's guidance to him.

The handsome Fang Yiai ran over with Wenxiu's Du He, and said with a smile: "How embarrassing is this!" ”

"When was Fang Junfang's bereaved love, Duhe Du Qinglian embarrassed?" Cheng Chuliang said disdainfully.

Fang Yiai and Du He laughed and said, "Then our brother is welcome." ”

Qin Huaiyu smiled and stretched out his hand to them, "Welcome to join us!" ”

Luo Tong and them, except for Cheng Chumo, are seventeen-year-old Qin Huaiyu. However, Luo Tong is the boss of this small group, although Qin Huaiyu doesn't know why Luo Tong invited these two gentlemen, but with his trust in his brothers, he did not hesitate to extend a hand of friendship to Fang Yiai!

"Smack!" Fang Yiai's hand was held with Qin Huaiyu, and he also put away the look on his face, and said very seriously: "We are friends?" ”

"Now friends!" Luo Tong said with a smile.

Du He was stunned and said, "Now? ”

Cheng Chuzheng said with a big grin: "Our boss Luo said that friends are used to sell, and brothers are used to block knives!" ”

Du He's eyes sparkled, and he said, "My beloved and I also want to be your brothers." ”

Fang Yiai asked, "How can I be your brother?" ”

Luo Tong said indifferently: "Just use your heart!" ”

Fang Yiai and Du He glanced at each other, nodded heavily, and said, "Let's fight!" ”

Luo Tong smiled: "Today is the first test!" ”

Du He asked curiously, "How to test?" ”

Cheng Lingsu smiled "poof": "Drink!" ”

"Huh?" Fang Yiai, Du He was stunned!

"Ahhhh To go or not to go? ”

"Go, bastard."

…………………………………………

In the Luofu Plum Garden, a group of teenagers gathered on the Huxin Pavilion to drink happily, so happy.

"I'm late! Admit a penalty. ”

Halfway through the wine, a heroic voice came from afar, and everyone looked back to see that a person was walking briskly here, carrying a big axe on his shoulder, his appearance was eight points similar to Cheng Yanjin, eight feet tall, and the leopard's head and eyes were a little fierce.

The person who came was the boss of the Cheng family, Taogen Immortal "Cheng Chumo"! Cheng Biting Jin is a beast, and at the age of fifteen, he killed his ex-wife, the fourteen-year-old Sun, the daughter of the local county magistrate, and gave birth to Cheng Chumo.

In other words, Cheng Chumo is a lot older than them, and he can be the youngest Cheng Chuli's father! Although his biological mother died early, he was very lucky to meet a virtuous and generous stepmother, Cheng Yanjin's second wife from the Qinghe Cui family with five surnames and seven wangs, Mrs. Cui not only regarded him as herself, but also officially gave him the identity of the eldest son who inherited Cheng Bitingjin's title, instead of his own Cheng Chuliang, which was a very rare thing in ancient times.

Cheng Chumo was very dissatisfied with this goods, and protested to Cui's more than once, saying that he would give the inheritance to the second Cheng Chuliang, but Cheng Chuliang didn't do it because of this.

The reason why the brothers regarded their eldest son as a snake and scorpion was because according to the custom, the eldest son was not allowed to go to war unless he had to inherit the family business. But these brothers are all belligerent factors, and they have a sincere heart to serve the country, and they are not the ones who keep to themselves. Because of this, the title of the eldest son, who competed endlessly in other people's homes, became a feared poison to the old Cheng brothers. The two brothers pushed back and forth, making a lot of jokes, and in the end, Cheng Chumo succumbed to the elder rather than the young!

From this incident, it can also be seen that for these rich second generations, the predecessors still pay great attention to training, at least the group of people Luo Tong has befriended, all of them have a fiery heart to serve the country.

Compared with them, Luo Tong is not good.

Their mother and son mixed well in Chang'an, and that was because Li Shimin cared about the old relationship and often took care of them. But although Luo Shixin obeyed Li Shimin's orders, he was Li Yuan's minister, and he died for a long time, and died young, and his meritorious deeds were naturally far less than those like Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin, let alone Du Ruhui, Li Shimin's right-hand man.

Cheng Chuliang, Fang Yiai, and Du He gave a crown salute, and the imperial court would immediately arrange a suitable position for them to serve the country. Luo Tong does not have this treatment, if he wants to join the army, he can only go to the government to report to the army, or ask Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, these veterans who miss the old days, to arrange a position for him.

Of course, he chose the third way: to become famous in the world, to enter the sight of Li Shimin, who loves talent as much as his life.

With a "bang", Luo Tong put a jar of wine in front of Cheng Chumo and said with a smile: "it!" ”

Cheng Chubi muttered: "If I knew this was the case, I would have been late!" I want that kind of punishment too. ”

The crowd couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Waiting for Cheng Chu to drink a small jar of wine, Qin Huaiyu asked, "Boss Cheng, why are you here so late today?" ”

Cheng Chumo wiped the wine stains from his mouth, and scolded and said: "All countries have sent envoys to meet the court, these bastards are not at all restless, they cause trouble every day, and they are busy to death." I'm going to patrol the streets later! I really want to slaughter those bastards. ”

The Tang Dynasty's domination of the world is now unstoppable, and the rising trend is also in the eyes of the surrounding alien races, and the surrounding alien races have sent envoys to meet each other! In addition to the Turks, countries such as Tuyuhun, Gochang, Qiuzi, Yanqi, Silla, Baekje, and Zhangzhung sent envoys to meet them, and the pomp was unprecedented.

It's just that whether it is the envoys of Tuyuhun, Gochang, and Yanqi, or Zhangxiong, Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje, they are all regarded as local hegemons, and some countries still have the name of "feud" with each other.

In order to ensure that Chang'an is not chaotic and the people are not disturbed, Datang, as the host, has made corresponding security measures according to the situation. Men were transferred from the sixteen guards to strengthen the guards of the various squares in Chang'an, as well as the guards who acted as envoys to various countries.

Cheng Chumo is a lieutenant in Jin Wuwei, and he also has his own defense area, and there are many conflicts he deals with every day, so it's no wonder he is so annoyed! The imperial court attached great importance to this matter, and Cheng Chumo didn't dare to drink more no matter how bold he was, so after he toasted with everyone, he hurried away.

"I really want to see the grand occasion of the Yuan-Japan Dynasty Meeting! It's a pity that we don't have enough identity! Looking at the back of Cheng Chumo, who was hurrying away, Qin Huaiyu was fascinated leisurely!

Luo Tong's heart moved, and he said uncertainly: "I'll go to Your Majesty to fight for it and see if I can appear as Your Majesty's guard." ”

Qin Huaiyu's eyes lit up and said, "It must work!" ”

Cheng Chuliang also said excitedly: "The boss is a protégé of the Son of Heaven, Your Majesty will definitely agree." ”

The palace is the most secret place in the world, and the news that Luo Tong learned the art of war from Li Shimin has long been gone, and it is not a secret to the Tang officialdom.

As close brothers, this group also knows a lot.

What else can Luo Tong say, he can only acquiesce.

Protégé of the Son of Heaven? That's a fool, Li Shimin clings to it every day, just trying to hollow him out.
