This order made the ministers stunned, and no matter how many general titles were given to this guy, no one objected, but this military academy was also fully responsible for the preparation of the Tang Military Academy, which made everyone a little confused.

These people are waiting for the big people in front of them to come out to oppose it, but Cheng Zhijie all kowtowed to thank him, and the Shangshu, servants, and imperial historians in front of them looked at their noses, noses, mouths, and mouths, and didn't say a word.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Yushi Liufan stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that General Cheng is rare in the world in terms of martial arts, but he is slightly inferior to his literary talent; It is not appropriate to let him serve as a military school sacrificial wine. Please also think twice, Your Majesty. ”

Li Shimin said "um" and said: "What Liu Aiqing said has a certain truth, reward a piece of brocade." If there's nothing more to say, stand down. ”

Wang Wenxiu, the imperial historian, understood the wrong meaning and also came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister impeached Cheng Zhijie, the king of the Great Demon County, Li Jing, Li Shiji, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Qin Qiong and other Shandong generals formed a friend party, they fought for power and excluded dissidents; To the national community to ignore it, its heart should be punished! ”

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone in the Taiji Hall changed color, and Li Shimin's face turned blue; Wang Wenxiu thought that his words were in the emperor's heart, and it was better to raise his head proudly.

"Smack!" Li Shimin slapped the table and said: "The bold Wang Wenxiu, without evidence, dared to discuss the ministers of the imperial court; Disturb the order of the country, and his heart should be punished! Come on, take down his official hat and demote him to the common people, and never hire him! ”

Wang Wenxiu's face suddenly turned pale and terrifying. Wei Zheng took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty is angry!" The duty of the imperial history is to supervise, that is, to supervise the dereliction of duty and illegal acts of the court and the princes and officials, how can they be convicted for their words?

Even if Wang Yushi's words are inappropriate, but his duty is where he is, he should not be convicted for this. Your Majesty, please be clear! ”

Li Shimin snorted coldly and said, "What? He is talking nonsense like this, is there any merit? These family members obstruct the implementation of laws and regulations in every possible way when the state needs to implement them; But he likes to attack people who really do things to show his existence. It's really useless. ”

Wei Zheng was unmoved and said, "Your Majesty, his duty is to supervise, not to execute. The royal history may be lacking in other aspects, but as the imperial history, this is his duty.

The ministers are all from Shandong, and they are all in high positions, so it is inevitable that they will have more contacts, or they may be biased. This is not conducive to the balance of the court, and there is a spur and reminder of the king's imperial history as a minister, so that the ministers can better put the position of the ministers.

Zeng Zi said: If there is one, it will be changed, and if there is none, it will be encouraged! Wang Yushi is short of us, reflect, we should reflect on it. ”

Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng with glittering eyes, and when he saw the righteousness he said, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "The Great Demon King said to me that Wei Zheng and Wei Xuancheng are bright and upright, and they are the good faces of the country. When I saw it today, it was true. Come on, put Wang Wenxiu back. ”

After Wang Wenxiu came back, he lay on the ground and kept thanking him, Li Shimin snorted coldly, asked him to thank Wei Zheng, and then returned to his position.

Cheng Zhijie is not Wei Zheng, he stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Yushi has done a good job in supervision, but he has been in the post of Yushi for a long time, which is not conducive to his own growth. The minister believes that Wang Yushi should be allowed to take charge of the party and return to Jiangzhou, Shanxi Province to serve as the assassin, which can not only allow him to make up for his shortcomings, but also benefit Sangzi. ”

Everyone was stunned, and there was a chill in their hearts; This is to force Wang Wenxiu and the Wang family to do it against each other! Li Shimin slapped the table and said: "What Cheng Aiqing said is very true! Wang Wenxiu, I will appoint you as the assassin of Jiangzhou, and send someone to evaluate your merits next year, and then decide how to deal with it then. Remember the 100-year plan, education-oriented, and you must not let me down! ”

Wang Wenxiu's body was so weak that he almost didn't collapse to the ground, so he had no choice but to lie on the ground and kowtow to thank him.

This time, no one objected to Cheng Zhijie's appointment, and Li Shimin asked him to read the edict and give him a seal. After the next dynasty, Lao Cheng took people out of the east gate without saying a word, and carved out a vacant land of 5,000 acres.

Li Jing frowned slightly and said, "Zhijie, is this campus too big?" We only have two months, so we can't finish it, even if we build it? ”

Cheng Zhijie said with a smile: "Third brother, we have to take a long-term view, this time there are only 1,000 people, and in the future, this will be a military talent training base, and thousands of people will come here to study." I'm still too small for these 5,000 acres. If I can double the size, I'm satisfied.

As for construction, it will be easier to do, let's plan it first, and then divide a priority, build it first if you are not allowed to build it in a hurry, and let it go if you are not in a hurry, and we will build while training. ”

Li Jing nodded when he heard this, and agreed with his plan. Then Cheng Zhijie asked people to take out the holy decree, and then sent people to read it out to various prefectures, capitals and counties, and publicized to everyone that men over the age of 15 would be recruited into military academies.

After studying in the military academy for 5 years, you can join the army as a grassroots officer after graduation, and those who excel in their studies can also get different degrees of promotion.

This announcement quickly spread in Datang, and some people were eager to apply for military schools. There are also people who don't know what this military school is and want to see the situation.

As the saying goes, if you learn literature and martial arts, you sell them to the emperor's family; People from all over the country who felt that they had two subordinates began to gather in Chang'an; For a time, Chang'an City was overcrowded.

This matter soon spread to Shanxi, where there was a family in Longmen County, Jiangzhou, whose surname was Xue; It was originally Hedong, and the Xue family was also a relatively large family, and the ancestor was once a general of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Later, the family fell into the middle of the road, and now there is only one son named Xue Li, whose father died early, and only a widowed mother barely survives with Xue Li. This Xue Li has been married to the girl of the Liu family, a big family in this county, since he was a child, and now the Liu family has regretted the marriage when they see that their family is poor.

"Mother, I want to go to Chang'an to take the military academy." Xue Li helped others work in the county, and said to his mother excitedly when he came back.

Xue Shi asked what his son's military academy was, sighed and said, "Li'er, your grade is still young, you are not 15 years old at all, they won't want you." ”

Xue Li said: "Mother, the opportunity is rare, I don't know if there is anything after I miss it." Although I am young, I have a lot of strength, and I am sure they will want me. ”

Xue felt that what his son said was also reasonable, so he took out all the savings of the family, sewed and mended his son's clothes, washed them, and then asked him to go to Chang'an to take the exam.

Such a situation is happening in and in the right place, in Bohai County, Shandong, there is a Gao Kan who also said goodbye to his family and rode a high-headed horse to Chang'an.

There is also a small village on the border of Baekje, and there is a son of Orion named Hei Zhi Changyuki, although this Black Tooth Changzhi is relatively thin, but he is very strong, and although he is only 15 years old, many adults are not his opponents.

Heizhi Changzhi heard the news from the Han teacher, and ran home quickly; He told his father the good news, and his father was overjoyed and gave his son a mule to ride to Chang'an.

People from outside the city converged on Chang'an, and of course the people of Chang'an could not be left behind, especially several apprentices of Cheng Zhijie, Wu Deng, Wang Xuance, Shang Shan, and Qin Huaiyu all wanted to join the military academy with all their strength.

During this period of time, Cheng Zhijie invited almost all the craftsmen in Chang'an, plus the help of the mobilized army, and soon enclosed the 5,000 acres of land, and then it was busy building houses day and night, leveling and compacting the land to build school grounds and martial arts training grounds.

Luo Song, Zeng Long, Li Jun, Zheng Po, and Dou Meng also arrived, and several people were very excited to return to Cheng Zhijie's men, vowing to train these little rabbit cubs well.

With the construction of the military academy, more and more people began to pay attention to this new thing, and even Li Shimin inquired several times a day.

Those people from the major families are also very concerned, this person's military academy selection is equivalent to a rehearsal for popularizing scientific examinations, if he succeeds, then His Majesty the Emperor will definitely implement this model, and the foundation of the family will be eroded a little bit. So they also sent a large number of family elites to apply for the military academy, wanting to find out his flaws and stink it in one fell swoop. Let the world lose hope in this way of material selection.

Seeing that the midsummer has passed, the weather has begun to cool, and the registration for military schools has also begun. There are 10 registration points in front of the military school, and several soldiers are responsible for registering and distributing exam tokens at each registration point.

"Everyone! It's good that you need this exam token, but if you don't have this, you won't be able to take the exam at that time. ”

The soldiers at the registration point took the trouble to explain the function of this registration card to each applicant.

"I'm sorry, your age is not up to standard, you can't apply for military school, please come back next year!"

When Xue Li heard that he had been beaten on the head, he hurriedly rolled up his sleeves and said, "Master Jun, you see how strong I am, I can lift very heavy things, and even adults in our family don't have as much strength as I do; Please let me sign up! ”

"Sign him up!" Some people in the crowd yelled, and some were about to find loopholes in this admission, which would also be a crime if they enrolled a child under this age.

"I'm sorry, we really can't sign you up. You'd better come back next year! No matter what Xue Li said, the people who signed up just didn't agree.

The people behind Xue Li were already waiting impatiently, they coaxed loudly, and the signing officer said, "This brother, please let me go, don't hinder others from signing up." ”

Xue Li left the registration office and returned to Chang'an in despair; Although he was frugal and only ate 30% full every day, he ran out of entanglements.

When he returned to Chang'an, he had no place to live, so he had to find a corner and squat and secretly think, how could he sign up successfully? I really don't have the face to go home to see my mother.
