Zhu Youzhen chatted with the teenagers for a few words, asked them to train on their own, and then summoned Li Dingguo and Zhang Huangyan to the front.

"Your Majesty." Li Dingguo was a little twisted, and he was no longer arrogant after stealing the peach just now, and it seemed that he also realized that his behavior was not very good.

Zhu Youzhen glared at this guy, looked at Zhang Huangyan, and said warmly: "You have no problem, do you want the imperial doctor to take a look?" ”

Zhang Huangyan's legs finally stopped trembling, and his face was a little pale and said: "Meet Your Majesty, thank you Your Majesty, no need, it doesn't matter." ”

Then he couldn't help but look at Li Dingguo: "A competition is a competition, your methods are too inferior." ”

Li Dingguo said disapprerovingly: "When the two armies are facing each other, they will naturally do everything they can't do, and they can afford to lose!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, it's not a battle between the two armies now, it's your comrades who are doing it, and you are not allowed to use this method after the competition!" Zhu Youzhen reprimanded.

"Got it, not anymore." Li Dingguo replied hurriedly, behaving very well in front of Zhu Youzhen.

"You catch it, what if it breaks? Can you afford it? Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but smile.

Li Dingguo bared his teeth, and also felt a little embarrassed, turned his head to Zhang Huang and said, "That, I'm sorry, I didn't stop for a while." ”

Li Dingguo has always been brave and ruthless, but he has always dared to act, since he admitted his mistake to Zhang Huangyan, that is, he really realized that he was wrong, and Zhu Youzhen waved his hand to let him get out.

"I heard that your father is in the Criminal Department? You are the son of an official eunuch, why don't you study to gain fame, but choose to enter martial arts? Zhu Youzhen asked with a smile.

"Back to Your Majesty, my father's surname is Zhang Guizhang, and he is a member of the Criminal Department, at the beginning, I was very angry with me to enter martial arts, and my mother was also sad and wept, but I persuaded them." Zhang Huangyan replied respectfully.

"Then how did you convince Ling Zun Lingtang?" Zhu Youzhen asked with interest.

"I said to my father, there are too many Jinshi in this world, and there are not too many Jinshi officers who can herd, not a single Zhang Huangyan. For more than 10 years, Jiannu has repeatedly attacked the Ming Dynasty, and the border army is weak, and the soldiers have been lost one after another, and the entire territory of Liaodong has been occupied by Jiannu. In order to deal with the threat of slave construction, the imperial court spent millions of taels of silver every year, and the treasury revenue was insufficient, so it could only levy additional taxes, so that the people were not able to make a living, and the people were in turmoil.

If the threat of slave construction can be solved, at least millions of taels of silver will be left every year, so much silver can be used to comfort the people, can be used for disaster relief, and the life of my Ming people will be much better than now.

I told my father that if I relied on the imperial examination, I would not be able to pass the examination without 20 years of work, and maybe I would not be able to achieve anything if I was more than half a hundred years old. And joining the martial arts is different, now into the martial arts, in the future into His Majesty's Praetorian Guard, it will not take a few years to be able to fight with Jiannu on the battlefield, strategize, seal the wolf Juxu, this is what a man should do, it is much more meaningful than spending most of his life on the pile of old papers. My father was persuaded by me to agree to join the martial arts. ”

Zhang Huang spoke eloquently, showing maturity and insight far beyond his age, which made Zhu Youzhen amazed.

"Ling Zun is also an enlightened person." Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but praise. In this era, it is not easy to make a son give up his fame and choose the path of martial arts, and this Guizhang is not simple.

Zhang Huang said: "In fact, although my father is a civil official, he is also an impassioned person, and the most admired is the champion Hou, is Ban Dingyuan, it is often said that the scholars of the Han and Tang dynasties are real Confucian scholars, and now the civil officials can't ride horses and can't lift swords, far less than the Han and Tang dynasties." So when I became sensible, my father asked a famous teacher to teach me martial arts. ”

"Great goodness!" Zhu Youzhen praised, the more he looked at it, the more he liked Zhang Huangyan. Zhang Huangyan is handsome and extraordinary, Yunwen Yunwu, and has the potential of a famous general!

This is just a child from such a family, who already has a basic world view and is deeply influenced by the literati and gentry, and only by reforming his thoughts can he become "his own person" like Li Dingguo.

"Although the methods used by Li Dingguo in the martial arts competition just now are a little inappropriate, he himself is good, jealous and hateful, and has a straightforward personality, you can have more contact with him in the future." Zhu Youzhen said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Huangyan agreed, but his expression was a little disapproving.

"I know that you are from a good background and have read books, but Li Dingguo is from a poor family, if he hadn't met me at the beginning, his whole family would have almost starved to death, and he himself would probably join the rebel army." Zhu Youzhen continued, "In the world of life, there is no distinction between high and low, but some people have a good background, they have no worries about food and clothing since they were young, and with a little effort, they can become officials and become masters. But some people come from poor backgrounds and have no opportunity to study, no matter how smart and hard they are, they can only struggle in the dirt!

The purpose of the Praetorian Guard is not only to eliminate the Jiannu, but also to promote the Ming Dynasty, what is Zhongxing? Everybody has clothes to wear, everybody to eat? No, it's not enough, everyone has to have the opportunity to improve. As long as you are smart enough, as long as you work hard enough, you will have a chance to become a master. That's what I'm going to do! It is also the purpose of running a school in martial arts, and it is also the goal that the Praetorian Guard strives for. Zhang Huangyan, since you have chosen to join the martial arts, you must take this goal as your goal, establish the ideal of opening peace for all generations, and have the people of the world in mind!

In martial arts, most of the teenagers were born in poor families, and most of the soldiers in the Praetorian Guard were also from poor backgrounds. Zhang Huangyan, since you want to abandon your pen and make some achievements, they are your future comrades-in-arms, and your comrades who fight side by side on the battlefield, you have to give up the identity of the family, make friends with them, and completely integrate into them, so that you can gain a foothold in martial arts and truly establish a meritorious career! ”

Zhu Youzhen was kind and seductive, trying to instill his own ideas in Zhang Huangyan's brain.

Zhang Huangyan was only a teenager in the end, and he was soon enthusiastically boiled by Zhu Youzhen's words, and nodded heavily: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I understand and know how to do it!" ”

Everyone has food to eat, everyone has clothes to wear, even the lowest common people have the opportunity to improve, Your Majesty said it is really good! If this can really be done, the Ming Dynasty will go far to the Han and Tang Dynasties! Zhang Huangyan's blood boiled, and secretly said I am really not wrong, Your Majesty is really eloquent!

"Your Majesty, Gong Yonggu, the commander of the horses, is here." At this moment, Liu Wenbing came to Zhu Youzhen's side and reminded gently.

Zhu Youzhen nodded, comforted Zhang Huangyan a few more words, and then asked him to train.

"Let the colt come over." Zhu Youzhen commanded.
