Time flies by in the busyness, and winter is coming in a blink of an eye.

This was the first winter that Xue Shao spent after crossing over. He found that the weather in the Guannai during the Tang Dynasty was not as cold as the north in the 21st century, there was not much snowfall and it was not particularly dry, and the coldest time was only minus three or four degrees, which was a bit like the climate of modern Jiangnan.

This is very conducive to the conduct of winter training.

All the armies of Datang are going to conduct winter training. The main reason is that there is no farming in winter.

The Beiya Lecture on Martial Arts is close at hand, and the Thousand Cavalry and the Yulin Army have all exerted their strength in the hard training, hoping to achieve remarkable results in the first Beiya Martial Arts Conference. Soldiers are competitive, and victory and honor are too attractive to them. Moreover, Beiya's emphasis on martial arts is not just a simple martial arts competition, it is also related to the performance evaluation of military generals by the officials. Even if he is the most ordinary soldier, if he can make a splash at the Beiya martial arts conference, it is very likely that he will be promoted to a general.

The two saints paid direct attention to the Beiya's martial arts, and gave some of the low-level generals of the martial arts academy the right to promote. Although this indicator is not much, and the highest level can only mention the brigade commander, for ordinary non-commissioned officers, "from soldier to officer" is a barrier that they may not be able to overcome in their lifetime in the army. A top-notch bull like Xue Chuyu joined the army in the Western Regions back then, and after five years of fighting and making great achievements, he joined the Yulin Army, and he just became a team leader!

The Northern Ya talked about martial arts, which made the other soldiers of the Twelve Guards of the Southern Ya so red that they wanted to kill. Because at present, this military event stipulates that only the Beiya Forbidden Army is eligible to participate. This also means that the little military merit that all the soldiers of the Southern Ya managed to save with their heads on the battlefield was not as good as the Northern Ya Forbidden Army winning a place in the martial arts conference.

Is it fair?

This is certainly not fair!

However, who called the Beiya Forbidden Army the Son of Heaven pro-army?!

Of course, the soldiers of the Southern Yafu did not dare to point the finger at His Majesty the Emperor, so Xue Shao, who presided over this grand event, became the "target of the public".

However, they didn't have the slightest way to take Xue Shao!

is also a person, why can Xue Shao have such a creativity? was also an ordinary general who led the government soldiers before, why could Xue Shao be able to mix in front of the Son of Heaven to command the forbidden army? is also reincarnated, why did Xue Shao cast into the family of the emperor's relatives? is also a man, why did Xue Shao marry a princess?

Whether it was envy, jealousy or hatred, the controversy against Xue Shao once again permeated the court and beyond. Xue Shao, a popular man in front of the emperor, became popular again in this winter because of "Beiya's martial arts".

Seeing that the "Beiya Lectures on Martial Arts" had not yet been officially held and had such a violent repercussion in the army, Xue Shao found Cen Changqian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and asked him if it was possible to issue a notice in the name of the Ministry of War, saying that at present, the Beiya Lecture on Martial Arts was only "trial" in the Beiya Forbidden Army. Once this plan is perfected, it will be popularized throughout the army. At that time, all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will have the opportunity to participate in the "Beiya Martial Arts" - of course, only the elites selected by each guard and each government will come to participate!

Cen Changqian has been in charge of the work of the military department for many years, and with his rich work experience, he feels that Xue Shao's idea is absolutely feasible. At present, all the military offices in the country are in short supply, and the soldiers who have barely joined the army also lack a passion for striving for progress. If there is a Beiya martial arts as a bait, I believe it will have an extremely positive supervision and stimulation effect on the army, and it will make the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty actively participate in training when there is no war, in order to look forward to winning the championship in the Beiya martial arts with excellent military technology, so as to complete a "imperial examination and first" like a carp jumping over the dragon gate!

So, Cen Changqian very decisively agreed to Xue Shao's proposal and reported to the imperial court. The imperial court also immediately made a decision and allowed the execution. In this way, Xue Shao's name and this imperial edict spread to every corner of the Tang army. It can be said that now wherever there are Tang Guards, there are definitely people who know the name of "Xue Shao"!

In fact, when Xue Shao told Cen Changqian about this proposal, he already had the idea of "creating martial arts" in his heart. The proposal itself also has the rudiments of using guò martial arts to select talents. However, Xue Shao also knew that the current environment and conditions for the creation of martial arts were still very immature, and it was definitely a good idea to first talk about martial arts in the whole army and the whole country. Once the soldiers and people of Datang have enthusiasm and expectation for practicing martial arts and improving military skills, and form a mature selection mechanism and operation mode, then the formal opening of martial arts is a natural way!

At this time, Xue Shao's brain from the 21st century played a huge role beyond the times. He remembered that the imperial examinations in Chinese history were roughly formed in the Sui Dynasty, but the Wuju was founded in the Tang Dynasty. Coincidentally, it was Xue Shao's mother-in-law and the famous empress Wu Zetian who started martial arts in history!

From the beginning of Wu Zetian, Wuju was preserved in the same line in Chinese history until the end of the Qing Dynasty.

Xue Shao's thought in his heart was, since I single-handedly founded the "Martial Arts Academy" and was determined to build it into the first regular military academy in Chinese history, how could I let Wu Zetian do such a thing as "founding martial arts"?

First of all, the "martial arts" was used to extensively select talents from the broad masses of the people and all corners of the army, and then the elite of them were selected to study in the Lecture Martial Arts Academy, and then the Lecture Martial Arts Academy sent all kinds of military talents to the army -- such a complete set of military talent training concepts beyond the times had gradually taken shape in Xue Shao's mind.

If this idea can become a reality, Xue Shao knows that it won't take many years for him to really become a veritable "Martial Sect of the World".

The ideal is ambitious, but things must be done one by one. At present, Xue Shao has put all his energy into this Beiya's martial arts. As the date of the conference approached day by day, Xue Shao became more and more busy, and it became common for him not to return at night.

With the previous quarrels and cold wars, Princess Taiping is now more sensible and understands Xue Shao better.

This time, Xue Shao didn't go home for three days and three nights, and Princess Taiping actually brought the simmered tonic soup to Beiya to visit Xue Shao. She was neither noisy nor noisy, nor did she look a little annoyed, but she was very stubborn and personally fed Xue Shao one bite at a time, and "forced" to drink up the whole pot of soup.

Then, Princess Taiping obediently returned home by herself.

Xue Shao was undoubtedly very moved, and everyone around him unanimously persuaded Xue Shao to go back to his house tonight. They said that no matter how busy the martial arts academy is, we still have to support it, and the general must not snub such a gentle and considerate wife as Princess Taiping!

Xue Shao was no longer hypocritical, and after explaining the important things to his subordinates, he rode on the Weilong Treasure Horse and went straight to Taipingfang.

In the middle of the street in Lifang, not far from Princess Taiping's Mansion, Xue Shao saw a familiar carriage specially designed for Princess Taiping's Mansion driving from the opposite street. A large area of land around here is full of the Taiping Princess's Mansion, and it is obvious that the carriage has just come out of the Taiping Princess's Mansion.

Xue Shao was about to ask who was the carriage and horse, but the carriage consciously stopped. A man got out of the car, dressed in a simple and simple skirt, wearing a black gauze hat that reached to her feet, and fell down on the side of the street.

"The concubine meets her husband!" It's Chen Xian'er.

Xue Shao couldn't help but be a little curious, this kind of foot-length hats that were popular in the Wude period have long been outdated, and the hats worn by the current noble ladies of the Tang Dynasty only cover the waist at most, and most of them are caressed on the chest to show off their sexiness. Chen Xian'er's dress looks extremely conservative, and it can even be said to be old-fashioned.

"No courtesy." Xue Shao asked, "It's getting late, where are you going to dress like this?" ”

"Back to the husband's words, the concubine is ...... This is ......" Chen Xian'er hung her head, a little slurred.

Xue Shao frowned, "How do you look like a thief?" Could it be that you have nothing to see? ”

Chen Xian'er immediately panicked, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Husband Mingjian, the concubine will never dare to cross the thunder pool by half a step!" ”

Xue Shao couldn't help grinning, "Get up and talk, what are you kneeling on the street." If you have something to do, go and do it. I just casually asked out of curiosity. ”

As she was talking, Princess Taiping walked out of the mansion when she heard the voice, "Hey, the husband is back?" Xian'er, didn't you go to see your mother-in-law, why are you kneeling here again? ”

Xue Shao was slightly stunned, "Her uncle? ”

Chen Xian'er said: "Yes, my uncle just arrived in Chang'an and lives in General Guo Yuanzhen's house. My cousin, Mrs. Guo, sent someone to invite me to come and see my uncle. ”

Xue Shao blinked, "Uncle Yue is here, but he hasn't even heard Guo Yuanzhen talk about it." ”

"You two big men have thrown the whole person into Beiya, how can you still know about the affairs of the family?" Princess Taiping counted down a sentence, and said, "Xian'er, go quickly!" It's getting late, so go and get back quickly. ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

Chen Xian'er was just about to leave, Xue Shao said, "Xian'er, tell your uncle." Tomorrow you might as well come to the house. ”

"Thank you, husband, I will definitely tell my uncle to know!"

Chen Xian'er boarded the carriage again and left, and Princess Taiping stepped forward overjoyed, "Husband, are you finally willing to come back?!" ”

Xue Shao smiled, "You have personally gone to Beiya to look for someone, where do I dare not come back?" ”

"Nonsense, how can I go looking for someone? I'm just going to deliver the soup, hehe! Princess Taiping smiled sheepishly, happily grabbed Xue Shao's arm and pulled him into the mansion together.

Xue Shao suddenly felt Wan'er, not to mention, some of the things Princess Taiping did were sometimes quite cute. If she went to Beiya aggressively to ask for someone, Xue Shao might also come back, but the scene after returning home would definitely not be as warm as it is now. But she just ran to deliver a bowl of soup without mentioning the matter of Xue Shao going home, which not only saved Xue Shao enough face in front of her colleagues, but also achieved the goal of "looking for a husband and returning home".

is a small trick, but it contains the "great wisdom" of the way to be a wife. Xue Shao felt more and more that Princess Taiping was really ice and snow smart, and she was extraordinary!
