Qin Qiong likes Li Jin very much, in his words, Li Jin was born a good seedling to practice martial arts, and he is more talented than his sons, so he has always wanted to accept him as a disciple, but Princess Pingyang disagreed, mainly because Qin Qiong was too strict with his students, for example, those just now were all his students, but they were all really picked, and they were all bruised all over the day.

"Haha, it's about the same, Jin'er wants to go to the military academy to study, won't he be your student in the future?" Li Xiu laughed at this time and said, he also knew that Qin Qiong liked Jin'er, but just now he saw the miserable situation of Qin Huaidao and several other children, which made him a little worried, would his son also suffer like this after he went to the military academy?

"Jin'er is going to the military academy?" Qin Qiong's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this, and then he glanced up and down at Li Jin next to him a few times, and then he spoke again, "Not bad, Jin'er is not only suitable for martial arts, but also extremely smart, Huaidao's stinky boys are all older than him, but they are usually willing to listen to him, which shows that he is born with the potential to be a commander!" ”

"Hehe, it doesn't matter if he can be a commander or not, the key is that this kid is too skinny, and if he is placed at home, he will cause trouble everywhere, so it is better to put it in the military academy and let him collect his temperament." Regarding Qin Qiong's praise, Li Xiu smiled indifferently and said, if Qin Qiong knew that Princess Pingyang only planned to make Li Jin a general who would not go to the battlefield in the future, I don't know how she would feel?

"No problem, the military academy is about to start recruiting students, Huaidao and Chu Liang have also signed up, although Jin'er is a little younger, but it doesn't matter, the military academy has opened a new young military class this year, specifically recruiting some children from powerful families, they usually not only learn the art of war, but also learn some ordinary courses, all taught by some erudite Confucians, even if they don't join the army in the future, maybe they can take the Jinshi exam!" Qin Qiong smiled again at the moment.

"I've also heard about this young military class, last time I recommended the Persian king Yi Si Qi, is studying in this young military class, and even His Majesty wants to let a few princes go, but I think the prince's usual education is very heavy, I'm afraid it will be difficult to go to the military school." Li Xiu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

However, Li Xiu didn't tell the truth about something, because the matter of the prince going to the military academy was originally set by Li Shimin, but it was unanimously opposed by several ministers, although they put forward many reasons, but the core reason is only one, that is, the prince does not need to know how to lead troops at all, so as not to follow Li Shimin's old path again in the future, and in the end Li Shimin can't stand so many people, so he has to compromise.

Qin Qiong also knew the inside story of why the prince couldn't go to the military academy to study, and he laughed at the moment, but both of them knew that they didn't find fault with this matter, after all, although everyone knew about some things, they must not be discussed in the open.

At this time, it was almost noon, Qin Qiong asked people to set up a banquet in the mansion, Li Xiu was not polite, Li Jin and Qin Huaidao and others had not seen each other for a long time, after all, Qin Huaidao and they were all locked up during this time, at most, they came to Qin Qiong to practice martial arts, and there was no way to go out at all, so at this time, they also sat together and chatted while eating.

"By the way, I heard that Su Dingfang sent someone from Liaodong last winter, but he left again soon, is there something going on in Liaodong?" Qin Qiong suddenly asked at this time, his face was also full of concern, he was very concerned about the war in Liaodong, after all, he only had one wish left to destroy Goguryeo.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that Su Dingfang asked him to send the loot captured in Liaodong to Chang'an to the bank, after all, the bank's bid is fairer, as for the Liaodong side, it is estimated that he will definitely send another army this spring, but there is no news back yet." Li Xiu explained with a smile at this time.

However, when he said this, Li Xiu suddenly found that Qin Qiong in front of him was indeed old, not only was his hair more white and less black, but there were also a lot of fine lines on his forehead and eyes, and even his eyes were no longer as bright as they were at the beginning, which made Li Xiu's heart can't help but swelled up, "Since ancient times, beauties sigh for twilight, and heroes are not allowed to see white heads."

"It's good that there are no accidents, as long as Su Dingfang can hold out for a few years, he will definitely consume a lot of Goguryeo's national strength, and then His Majesty will send troops again, and there will be no one in the court to oppose it!" Qin Qiong heard Li Xiu's answer, and said with a faint smile at the moment, he was very much in favor of the practice of consuming Goguryeo's national strength, although he was getting older and older, and every year he had less hope of leading troops, he was still unwilling to take risks with the Tang Dynasty's army.

"It's still General Qin, you understand, Uncle Ma's side can't wait to raise troops to destroy Goguryeo immediately." Li Xiu saw Qin Qiong's old state, and he was also a little emotional at the moment, so he immediately changed the topic.

"Hehe, I understand Brother Ma's mood, after all, we are getting older and older, we sleep tonight, I don't know if we can wake up tomorrow morning, and Brother Ma has always wanted to collect the bones for the brothers who died in Liaodong, if he waits a few more years, he may be worried that he won't have the strength to do this by then!" What Li Xiu didn't expect was that Qin Qiong heard him mention Ma Ye, but he sighed again.

"Father, why are you talking about this, you and Uncle Ma are so strong, better than us young people, I think you and Uncle Ma will live for a few more decades!" As soon as Qin Qiong's words fell, he saw Qin Huaidao interrupt him at this time, although these juniors were lively, they had also been listening to the conversation between Li Xiu and Qin Qiong.

"That's right, or Huaidao can speak, you and Uncle Ma have broken through the sword mountains and fires, ice and snow, and now our Datang is so strong, and there is no need to worry about eating and drinking, such good conditions, if you don't live him for a hundred years, wouldn't it be too much of a loss?" Li Xiu also agreed with the market when he heard this.

Hearing the words of her son and Li Xiu, Qin Qiong couldn't help laughing, Li Jin and the others were also very clever, and they also said some witty things at this time, which finally made Qin Qiong's mood slowly cheerful, and even laughed with a few children.

"By the way, in addition to Jin'er, I also want to recommend two people to enter the military academy!" But at this moment, I suddenly saw Li Xiu speak again, and his words also made Li Jin, who was sitting below, stunned, because Li Xiu hadn't said anything about it before they came.

"Oh? Which two people are they? Qin Qiong didn't care too much and asked, after all, as Li Xiu, it was normal to recommend a few students to the military academy every year.

"The two sons of the late Ying Guogong, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang!" Li Xiu said almost without hesitation, as if the names of these two people had already been on his lips.

"Father, what do you mean ......" Li Jin below heard Li Xiu's words, and immediately jumped up with excitement, and even interjected regardless of etiquette, but halfway through speaking, he closed his mouth and didn't say any more.

Qin Qiong also turned his head to look at Li Jin a little strangely at this time, and then asked Li Xiu: "Wu Shi Tong is indeed a talent, but I heard that his two sons are very unsuccessful and have not inherited half of his talents at all, why would the concubine suddenly recommend the two of them to go to the military academy?" ”

Li Xiu knew that Qin Qiong would ask this, so he sighed and said: "Last year, Ying Guogong Wushi Tong died, before he died, he asked me to take care of his family, because he was buried in Bingzhou, so last year his family members also went to Bingzhou, and I didn't have a chance to take care of it, but yesterday Mrs. Wu came back from Bingzhou, and also brought back some things about the Wu brothers, they ......."

When he said this, he saw Li Xiu deliberately pause, and then shook his head again and sighed: "I still said clearly that the Wu brothers were rampant and domineering in Bingzhou, causing a lot of right and wrong, and the magistrates didn't dare to care about them, causing the Wu family to be angry and resentful in Bingzhou, and even they drove Mrs. Wu and her two daughters out of the mansion, which can be said to be shameless!" ”

"Since their character is so unbearable, why do you recommend them to the military academy?" Qin Qiong couldn't help but ask even more strangely when she heard this, after all, not everyone can enter the military academy, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of the military academy by arranging for the two scum of the martial arts family to enter?

"General Qin, think about it carefully, now the Wu brothers rely on the blessings left by Ying Guogong, so they can do nonsense in the local area, and the local people dare not care, it is the local people who suffer, and the blessings left by Ying Guogong will be used up sooner or later, and they will definitely be severely punished at that time, although this is their sin and deserves, but after all, they are the sons of Ying Guogong, and I feel unbearable."

When he said this, he saw Li Xiu pause for a moment and then said: "It is precisely because of the above reasons that I want them to enter the military academy, so that they will not be able to do anything wrong in the local area, and the military academy has strict rules, they can study in it for a few years, even if they can't lead soldiers, at least they can change their bad habits, so as not to ruin the reputation of Ying Guogong outside." ”

Hearing Li Xiu's above words, Qin Qiong couldn't help but nod approvingly, he himself is a very righteous person, Li Xiu promised Wu Shi Tong to take care of his family, and now he can also fulfill his promise, which also makes him very respectful, so after thinking about it for a while, he quickly nodded and said: "Okay, since it is a piece of hard work of the horse, then I will agree to come down, but their conduct is not good, so I may arrange them to a few strict instructors!" ”

"No problem, the more severe the better, if they dare to disobey, they will be beaten, I will bear the consequences, I will be the one who will educate his son for the deceased Ying Guogong!" Li Xiu heard Qin Qiong's words and immediately patted his chest and reassured.

Li Xiu was talking to Qin Qiong above, but Li Jin below was smiling, especially after seeing Qin Qiong agree to accept the Wu brothers, it made him laugh very insidiously, if the Wu brothers came to the military academy, they would have time to settle accounts with them slowly! 10 (To be continued)
