On the second day of the court meeting between Li Shimin and the ministers, he officially promulgated the summons of the prince, and established Li Zhi, the king of Jin, as the crown prince and entered the East Palace. As soon as this news was paid, although many people were a little disappointed, if you look at it from the point of view of the concubines, it is reasonable, so it did not cause much opposition.

However, at the same time as the promulgation of the crown prince's summons, Li Shimin issued a holy decree, ordering the Chongwen Hall of the East Palace to cooperate with the military academy to set up a military academy junior class, which recruits some teenagers from the Xungui family, and they will study together with Li Zhi, Li Zhen and other princes, and the course arrangement is also very simple, in the morning in the Chongwen Hall to learn literature, in the afternoon to the military academy to learn martial arts.

However, as soon as the news of this military academy junior class came out, it was immediately opposed by some great Confucians such as Kong Yingda and Yu Zhining, because in their opinion, the prince was responsible for the heavy responsibility of the country, and naturally he had to be taught by the saint since he was a child, and there was no need to go to the military academy to learn those martial arts skills.

As soon as Kong Yingda's words came out, they naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of Li Jing and other generals, and they quarreled with each other. Although the generals generally do not express their opinions in the court, it does not mean that their words have no weight, which is essentially different from the later Song and Ming dynasties.

Li Shimin is naturally dismissive of the words of Confucian people like Kong Yingda, in essence, he is also a military general, and as an emperor, if he does not know soldiers, then he is definitely not a qualified emperor. It is precisely because of this that Li Shimin did not pay attention to the words of his opponents at all, but said that 'the prince is young and frail. If you go to a military academy for training, you can at least strengthen your physique'. Forced the matter to be settled.

Regarding the matter of letting Li Zhi go to the military academy, it was from Li Su's hand. However, he only briefly mentioned it in the letter, hoping that Li Shimin could let Li Zhi go to the military academy to experience it, after all, the army is the place where people are most trained, and if Li Zhi can live there for a while, he should be able to strengthen his will and change some cowardly character.

Li Shimin came out of the army, and naturally knew that although life in the army was hard, it was also the most tempering person, so he suggested to Li Su. Naturally, he agreed very much, but he took into account the special status of Li Zhi, and the general classes in the military academy were not suitable for Li Zhi, so he finally thought of a way to set up a separate juvenile class and select some aristocratic teenagers to study with the prince, so that Li Zhi was surrounded by peers and could study better, and if these aristocratic teenagers could succeed in learning. In the future, it will also become a big help for Li Zhi after he ascends the throne.

In Li Zhi's dormitory in the East Palace, Li Zhi was wearing a cadet uniform sent by the military academy, and Li Su also participated in the design of this uniform, which was roughly the kind of military training uniform divided into tops and pants in later generations. It's just that some Tang Dynasty costumes are added to it, although it looks a little weird, but the cadets in the military academy are crawling all day long. Wearing such clothes is not only convenient, but also extremely heroic.

Li Zhi stood in front of the mirror and twisted to look. Although his body is thin, this set of student uniforms is designed to fit perfectly. This made his whole person look a little less immature, and a little more heroic and upright.

"Starling, do you think I look a few years older when I wear this dress?" Li Zhi asked Li Zhen who was drinking tea and eating snacks next to him with great interest. In fact, in addition to Li Zhen, Li Shen, who is a little younger than Li Zhi, is also there, and the two of them are also wearing the uniforms of cadets in the military academy, and they will enter the military academy with Li Zhi in the future.

Li Zhen glared at Li Zhi who was stinky and beautiful angrily, and said in an unkind tone: "No matter how old you are, what can you do, anyway, you have to stay in Chang'an for the rest of your life, speaking of which, the seventh brother is lucky, he actually went to Quanzhou in advance to be his assassin, but he doesn't need to go to any Lao Shizi's military academy, I already knew that I was also an official in other places." ”

Li Zhen's complaint naturally has his reason, originally he is 14 years old this year, and he will be able to become an official in a foreign country for a year next year. And Li Zhen has always admired Li Su the most, and has long wanted to govern a prosperous and prosperous place like Li Su in Dengzhou, but now that Li Zhi is the prince, he has no opinion, after all, no matter how he calculates, the prince will not fall on his head, but it is a pity that his father Li Shimin wants to set up a military academy junior class, and he is ordered to go in to study, and now he doesn't know how long he will study, and his desire to go to the field to do a big job is naturally frustrated.

As soon as Li Zhen's words fell, Li Shen, who was also sorting out his clothes, laughed and said: "Starling, I am afraid that the purpose of thinking of foreign officials is not so simple, I heard that there is a third lady from Yingguo's family living in your house, and her appearance is national and fragrant, and she is in love with you Starling, and now you are waiting to get married. ”

Although Li Shen is not very old, he is very precocious, and what he said is to the point, although Li Zhen is an official who goes out with the purpose of showing his ambitions, but he and Wu Meiniang have long been in love, and even Mrs. Yang does not object to their marriage, but Li Zhen does not want them to marry so early, saying that it is not good for health. This made Li Zhen very helpless. In his opinion, the beautiful girls are already thirteen years old, and they are about to be fifteen, and there are many people like them who are getting married, and it is not early at all, but it is a pity that Li Su persuaded Wu Meiniang, and both of them opposed together, which made Li Zhen very helpless.

However, Li Zhen is not stupid, he quickly thought of a solution, that is, what Li Shen just said, if he is an official in a foreign country, then according to the rules, he must get married first, there is this legitimate reason, presumably there is no reason for the sixth brother to object,

Li Zhen was broken by Li Shen's words, her face turned red at the moment, and she went up and knocked on Li Shen's little head and said angrily: "What do children know, I and Meiniang are friends of the general horn, we have known each other for so many years, we should have gotten married a long time ago, if it weren't for the sixth brother......"

When he said this, Li Zhen suddenly shut up, the reason why Li Su was able to meddle in his marriage was mainly because Wu Meiniang was there, but Wu Meiniang's identity was not visible, although Li Su was his brother, but there was no reason to interfere in his marriage, it was because of this that he suddenly stopped.

However, Li Zhi's ears were extremely pointed, and after hearing it, he dropped the mirror and asked with a smile: "Starling, why did you get married and get involved with the sixth brother again, is it possible that the sixth brother can still prevent you from getting married?" ”

If it weren't for the sixth brother to stop me, maybe I would have a child by now.

Li Zhen muttered in his heart, but he didn't dare to say so, he just prevaricated: "How can it have nothing to do with the sixth brother, he suggested to my father that my father and emperor should let my Tang Dynasty princess be eighteen years old before he can leave the cabinet, plus the newspaper advertises the disadvantages of marrying too early, as a result, whether it is in the folk or aristocratic circles, the atmosphere has changed greatly, and ordinary women have to wait at least sixteen to get out of the cabinet, and Meiniang is only thirteen years old now, it is estimated that I will have to wait for another three years!" ”

When Li Zhen spoke, she also showed a wry smile on her face with half-truths and half-truths, which made Li Shen sympathize. But after all, he is still young and doesn't know much about the relationship between men and women, so he doesn't have any special feelings. However, Li Zhen also sighed in her heart after hearing this, and she also remembered Cai'er who had been separated for more than half a year, and she didn't know how he was doing with the sixth brother? Have you grown taller again? However, I heard that the sun on the beach is very poisonous, so don't tan your skin.

"The queen has arrived!" Just as Li Zhi was thinking about his thoughts, suddenly the eunuch outside shouted, followed by two small yellow doors, followed by two rows of palace maids, and finally a middle-aged lady in palace clothes came in, who was the eldest grandson queen of the world.

Although Empress Eldest Sun came out dressed up, her face could not hide a haggard look, and even in the jet-black hair, a trace of silver hair could be faintly seen. The eldest grandson queen is the mother of a country, usually very well maintained, although she is in her forties, but she usually looks only thirty, but in the past two months, she has aged very fast, not only the skin has lost its former luster, but even the white hair has begun to appear.

Seeing Empress Changsun come in, Li Zhi and the others hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Sons and daughters see the queen mother!" ”

Empress Changsun was not surprised to see Li Zhen and Li Shen also here, when Li Zhi was not the prince in the past, the relationship between the three brothers was very good, so they often moved around, and Empress Changsun also agreed with this, and now seeing Li Zhen and the two, it was also expected.

"Get up, Zhen'er and Shen'er, you also have to go to the military academy to study, but I heard that there is a lot of training there but it is very difficult, you three brothers must help each other then, don't lose our royal face!" Empress Eldest Sun smiled and helped the three of them up.

"Don't worry, the queen mother, I am their elder brother, if anyone dares to bully the two younger brothers, I must break his legs!" I saw Li Zhen standing up with a smile and saying. However, the eldest grandson queen couldn't cry or laugh after hearing this, and what she told meant was that the three brothers should support each other when they trained, and they couldn't fall behind, but Li Zhen, an aggressive boy, understood the deviation and listened to him, as if he went to the military academy to fight with others.

As the mother of all princes, Empress Changsun naturally had to teach a few lessons when she saw Li Zhen looking so shapeless. Although Li Zhen was bold, she didn't dare to be disrespectful to the eldest grandson, so she had to pretend to be submissive, saying that after she entered the military academy, she would never take the initiative to find someone to fight. The implication is that if someone provokes him, he can only fight. However, seeing Li Zhen being trained, Li Zhi and Li Shen both had gloating expressions, and they almost laughed out loud.

After Empress Changsun reprimanded Li Zhen for a few words, she praised Li Shen's book for reading well, and he was better than several brothers at a young age, which caused Li Zhen and Li Zhi to look at Li Shen angrily. But at the end, Empress Changsun suddenly changed her words and said: "Zhen'er, Shen'er, you guys avoid it first, I have something to say to the pheasant slave!" (To be continued.) )
