Chapter Seventy-Five: On Martial Arts

Gaozong was stunned, why is this, Liu Renliang is a minister, how can he be a minister at this time? So he asked, "Liu Aiqing, why is this?" ”

Liu Renliang said sadly: "It's not that Weichen is unwilling to serve His Majesty, but that Weichen is old and sick, and he is not suitable to be in charge of the center. ”

When Gaozong heard Liu Renliang say this, he turned his head to Empress Wu, and when he saw Empress Wu nodding, he said: "Since Aiqing is not in good health, then for the time being, Aiqing will be allowed to put down the center and go home to recuperate. Then give you a hundred horses of brocade, so that you can live and raise. ”

Liu Renliang knelt down and bowed his head to thank him.

At this time, the young master of the crown prince, Xu Jingzong, also came out of the class and said: "Start your majesty, today the old minister is also here to beg for bones, and I hope that your majesty will be favorable." ”

"Ahh Gaozong almost shouted in surprise, what the hell is going on today, how can these two ministers be on the same day. The Empress Wu is also quite strange, Xu Jingzong was pulled up by himself, and he has to tell himself if he wants to be a scholar.

Gaozong looked at Empress Wu, and Empress Wu said softly: "Xu Jingzong is already old, Your Majesty should be considerate of the old minister, so let him be a minister." ”

Gaozong looked at Xu Jingzong and said: "Aiqing has worked hard for the country, and now Zhishi, how can I bear it in my heart, but Aiqing, as the minister of the country, has worked hard for the country for many years, and it is time to pay tribute, so I will appoint Xu Aiqing as a special advance, and I will continue to do the same, and I will allow Zhishi!" ”

Xu Jingzong can say that he was promoted as the prime minister by the Empress Wu, and he once made great contributions to Wu Meiniang with Li Yifu and others, and also established outstanding feats for the Empress Wu to eradicate the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang and other old ministers, and the Empress Wu reused the two and let them sit in the position of prime minister. But Xu Jingzong's reputation is not good, he once abandoned his children and daughters, and he was extremely **, he once repaired history for Emperor Taizong, and he was bent to welcome, and there were many untrue records. He is now a scholar, and he can be regarded as a successful retirement, and he is old and in poor physical condition, so it is time for him to be a scholar.

At this time, the court was a little depressed because of the two ministers at the same time.

Pei Xingjian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was listed, and Gaozong thought that his idol Pei Xingjian also wanted to be a scholar, so he hurriedly asked: "Pei Aiqing won't also be a scholar, right?" ”

Pei Xingjian smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, the head of Fenghaidao, Su Haizheng, reported that Tubo has gathered 200,000 troops near Gongyue City, and please ask Your Majesty to judge!" ”

"Huh? If it is freezing today, how can Tubo gather so many troops? Gaozong said, and glanced at Empress Wu, but Empress Wu only specialized in internal affairs, and how did she know about military affairs.

Pei Xingjian said: "Tubo has had a lot of heavy snowfall in the past year, and countless cattle and sheep have been frozen to death. ”

Gaozong suddenly became nervous, Tubo is an enemy who can't even be sent to his father, although he has forced Tubo to be a vassal in recent years, but their military strength should not be underestimated, so he asked: "What should I do, who can I send to levy?" ”

Although Pei Xingjian is the secretary of the Ministry of War, he is still a lot worse than Li Jike, and Pei Xingjian is one of the founders of the bolt election officer, so there are really not many capable people under him.

At this time, Empress Wu remembered the general of Youweiwei who was far away in the hometown of Goryeo, the inspector of Andong Duhu, and Xue Rengui, the prince of Pingyang County. So he reminded Gaozong and said: "Now that Andong is stable, I can order Xue Rengui to enter Beijing to meet him." ”

Gaozong was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Xue Rengui, the general of the Right Weiwei, is strict in governing the army, and he has a good way to pass through Andong, and he sent a decree to order him to enter the Hajj. ”

The early dynasty proceeded like this without slowness or hurry.

Wu Qing had no official or position, and practiced gunnery in the courtyard, and when the first type of "iron lock Hengjiang" was finished, a voice suddenly came from the room.

"Although Childe's marksmanship is good, his body is slightly weaker, and he can't use the momentum of marksmanship."

It was the renamed Wu Yidao.

Wu Qing sighed, but after seeing Wu Yidao leave the room, he bowed, and then said, "What is the purpose of Gongzi practicing martial arts?" If you want your son to be prosperous and rich, do you still use such hard work to practice martial arts? ”

Wu Qing also didn't understand in his heart, he was not lacking in glory and wealth, why did he practice martial arts? This answer bothered him until Wu Minzhi's dagger woke him up, so he said: "For the people I should protect!" ”

Wu Yidao obviously didn't believe it, but he still said: "Childe's strength is a little weaker, if you strengthen your cultivation in strength, you may be able to show a different spear skill soon!" ”

Wu Qing only learned about martial arts from Qingfeng Zhenren, so naturally he couldn't compare to the former Green Forest Scoop Ziwu. Now that you have this martial arts, you can't use it well?

"Oh, uncle, how should I cultivate? Please don't hesitate to give me advice. ”

Wu Yidao's body is very good, and he can move around flexibly after three days of cultivation, and Wu Yidao is now considered Wuqing's guard slave, so he doesn't need to hide his secrets, so he said: "Childe is polite." The ancients once said that one force will drop ten. In the end, martial arts is not a skill, but the use of strength, no matter how delicate and complicated the moves, I can break them with just one sword. ”

Although Wu Qing had read a lot of fantasy martial arts novels in his previous life, he couldn't help but be a little excited when he really heard such remarks, that's right, one force will drop ten times, concentrate on one shot, there is no unbreakable move in the world.

At the beginning, Yuwen Chengdu was so powerful, but in the end, he couldn't even stop Li Yuanba's hammer, this is a force to ten meetings.

Wu Qing asked excitedly, "Then how can you cultivate your strength?" ”

Wu Yidao said with a smile: "Childe, don't worry, the cultivation of strength needs to be combined with a certain mental method, and if you cultivate it gradually, it will naturally be cultivated." Of course, you can borrow external forces, such as Gongzi's daily practice of gunnery is to increase his strength, but slowly. If you want to make great progress in strength, you have to really try the hard test and cultivate from the field of life and death, which is the fastest. But this is not realistic, if Gongzi can dive and float, he can practice in the Yangtze River. If Childe can't, then he can only chop wood and carry boulders every day. ”

Wu Qing suddenly brightened up, and sure enough, these simple cultivation methods can enhance his strength the most, but if he insists on it every day, Wu Qing can't help but be a little discouraged. Now that he has no official position or position, he really has nothing to do except study, if he cultivates martial arts, he can use it in the future, and it is better than asking someone to protect him.

So, Wu Qing made a big plan for cultivation.

At this time, Wu hurriedly walked into the courtyard, only to see the sadness on her face, Wu Qing was surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Mother, why is this?" What happened? ”

Wu Shi hugged Wu Qing and said, "Your grandmother died of a cold last night!" ”

With a sigh, Wu Qing didn't think of Mrs. Rongguo dead, but the cruel Wu Minzhi, how could this be, although the Yang family was not in good health, he didn't have to die so soon. Wu Qing hurriedly comforted: "Grandmother is over ninety years old, she is dying, my mother should be happy, but she left Chang'an for less than half a month, and suddenly heard bad news, which makes people feel so sad." ”

Wu cried: "My son, let's leave for Chang'an immediately and hold a funeral for your grandmother." ”

Wu Qing knows that at this time, he must be filial, which is not only for filial piety, but also an obligation, and everyone in the world pays attention to this filial piety. The imperial examination "Book of Filial Piety" is listed as a compulsory examination, which shows the importance of filial piety.

The news was naturally ordered by Empress Wu, and Empress Wu asked Gaozong to allocate money and materials in the treasury of Daming Palace, and asked Wu Minzhi to build a Buddha statue for Mrs. Rongguo's Yang family.
