Chapter 54: Madame's Worries
Changsun Sheng asked: What is the most important thing in archery?
Li Shimin thought that since Changsun Sheng raised this question, the answer would definitely not be as simple as it seemed.
The eldest grandson gradually replied, "The most important thing is to aim."
Eldest Sun Sheng smiled and shook his head, "That's not right."
Li Shimin thought for a while and replied, "It should be strength."
"If the strength is not enough, the arrow cannot shoot far, nor can it hurt anyone."
Eldest Sun Sheng nodded and said, "Yes, the most important thing is strength."
The eldest grandson Zhan wondered, "Since strength is important, should we grow up and practice this archery?"
After speaking, he seemed to be a little deflated.
Changsun Sheng smiled, "Don't be discouraged first, you can also practice strength."
"The most important thing to practice archery is to practice strength."
"During this time, I'm going to get you all together. While practicing the basics of archery, I will teach you how to build your strength."
Li Shimin said, "Uncle Eldest Sun, how to practice this power?"
Changsun Sheng replied and pointed to the inside of the Thunderbolt Hall and asked:
"Do you see the stone locks in the house? That's what strength training is for."
"From today onwards, I will teach you to practice the Stone Lock Gong."
------
After that, the eldest grandson Sheng ordered the servants to move a few stone locks from the Perak Hall.
This stone lock is made of bluestone, the small one is twenty catties, and the large one is seventy catties.
Changsun Sheng said to a few children, "Look at it, I'll demonstrate it first."
He took the smallest one in his hand, spread his feet apart, and began to dance.
I saw the stone lock flying over his head, at his sides, behind his back, and from side to side.
It's as light as throwing a stone seed, and it's dazzling.
After dancing for a while, Changsun Sheng stopped and said to a few people:
"To practice stone locks, you must first use small ones to move your muscles and bones, otherwise you will hurt your body if you suddenly use a large one."
"I'll use another seventy pounds for you to see."
------
He walked over to a seventy-pound stone lock.
Bending down to lift it up, then spinning and throwing it in the air, the stone lock spun three times in the air.
When the lock handle turned to Changsun Sheng, he stretched out his right hand and grasped the lock handle firmly.
After doing this, Changsun Sheng walked to the center of the square with the stone lock.
Stand with your feet apart and do the action you just did with the small lock twice.
It's just that the speed of this dance is obviously slower.
------
After the two sets of exercises were completed, Changsun Sheng stopped his body and put the stone lock on the ground.
Then, standing intently, his face was not red or panting, but his forehead was slightly oozing with sweat.
Changsun Sheng clapped his hands, looked at Li Shimin and the others with a smile and said:
"Which of you is here to try?"
Several people came forward and stepped forward in turn, carrying the seventy-pound stone lock.
Among the five, only the eldest grandson Hong and Li Shimin can lift the stone lock to their chests with both hands.
The eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest grandson Zhan, and the eldest grandson gradually could only barely lift the stone lock off the ground with both hands.
Thinking that Changsun Sheng could easily play with such a heavy stone lock in the palm of his hand, Li Shimin both admired and envied.
He looked at Changsun Sheng expectantly and asked:
"Uncle, how long does it take for us to develop divine powers like yours?"
Changsun Sheng did not answer immediately, but walked over to several cases and sat down.
Picked up Guanyin and held her in his arms
Li Shimin and others sat on the ground opposite several cases.
------
By this time, it was getting dark.
The eldest grandson asked the servants to hang lanterns around the square, and the front of the Perak Hall suddenly became as bright as day.
Changsun Sheng looked at a few people with a smile and said:
"Just now, did Shimin ask how long it takes to practice such strength?"
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Well, that's what Shimin asked."
Changsun Sheng made a mysterious authentic way:
"For ordinary people, they can't practice in a lifetime."
"If everyone can practice, won't my Great Sui be as fierce as a cloud?"
Li Shimin hurriedly said, "Uncle, how are we doing?"
Changsun Sheng said, "I just said that the practice of archery depends on hard practice, and the second depends on physical endowment."
"During this time, I have grasped your bones and muscles, and in terms of martial arts, the people of the world have the best endowment; Ah Zhan and Ah gradually followed; Mowgli, Ah Hong again."
Eldest Sun Wuji and Eldest Sun Hong were very disappointed when they heard that they had the worst endowment for martial arts, and their faces showed unhappy expressions.
Li Shimin, the eldest grandson Zhan, and the eldest grandson gradually had a happy face.
Changsun Sheng looked at the expressions of several people in his eyes, and said softly:
"You are all my dearest children, so I will tell you the truth."
"Don't be happy with the good endowment, and don't be discouraged if the endowment is bad."
"What I'm saying is that hard work is the key. More importantly, I have a way to change my qualifications and endowments."
"If you don't practice hard, Wuji and Ah Hong can also train to the strength of one arm and one hundred catties, and they are already one in a thousand compared to ordinary people."
Listening to Changsun Sheng, after training, he has a hundred catties of strength in one arm, and Changsun Wuji and Changsun Hong have regained their confidence.
How many people are curious about what is the method of changing qualifications and endowments?
Changsun Sheng smiled slightly, "I'll talk about this later."
He went on to say, "To practice strength, you have to do it gradually, not in a hurry."
"Ah Hong is the oldest, his flesh and bones are gradually formed, his speed can be faster, the heaviest can practice forty catties of stone locks, and he can succeed at the age of twenty. After training, one arm can have the strength of 100 catties."
"Mowgli can practice forty catties of stone locks at the most, and he can succeed at the age of eighteen. After training, one arm can have the strength of 100 catties."
"Ah Zhan and Ah Yan can practice sixty catties of stone locks at the heaviest, and they can succeed at the age of eighteen. After training, one arm can have the strength of 200 catties."
"The heaviest people in the world can practice seventy pounds of stone locks, and at the age of sixteen, they can achieve success. After training, one arm can have the strength of 300 catties."
--------
After talking about everyone's qualifications and endowments, Changsun Sheng began to explain in detail the method of practicing "Stone Lock Gong".
Changsun Sheng demanded that everyone should start with twenty catties of stone locks first.
First, practice the lift, hold the lock handle with one hand, lift it to the chest, turn the wrist up, and repeat the exercise.
Then practice lifting in front of you and at your sides until it is shoulder level.
Once you have a certain foundation, start practicing flipping.
Throw the stone lock violently upwards to flip it in the air.
Depending on the strength, you can make the stone lock turn one or two or three times, and wait for the lock handle to turn in front of you to take advantage of the momentum.
After becoming proficient, then gradually practice the methods of side turnover, top lock, back flower, and waist crossing.
------
After practicing all of the above methods, you can change to heavier locks like the Dharma.
And so step by step, increasing the weight.
From 20 catties, add in turn, until you can use 70 catties of stone locks.
When it is easy and effortless, one arm has at least two or three hundred catties of strength.
Changsun Sheng demonstrated while talking.
Li Shimin and the others listened carefully to his explanation, and before they knew it, the time had passed.
Seeing that it was not too early, Changsun Sheng said, "That's it for today, tomorrow you will start practicing Tito from the twenty-pound stone lock, and at the same time practicing shooting fixed targets. And don't be rash, for rushing for success will only do you harm."
------
Changsun Sheng left Perak Hall and returned to the upper room.
Gao Qiuniang let Shuxiang and Mozhu wait for Changsun Sheng to bathe and change clothes.
After Changsun Sheng finished bathing, it was already late at night.
Gao Qiuniang had already gone to bed in advance, leaning on the pillow and reading a book.
Changsun Sheng walked to the bed and also took a pillow and put it down.
Gao Qiuniang seemed to be very focused, her eyes really didn't take her eyes off the book in her hand, and she didn't talk to Changsun Sheng.
Changsun Sheng lifted the thin quilt, leaned on the head of the bed next to Gao Qiuniang, put his right hand around her shoulder, and took the book in Gao Qiuniang's hand with his left hand.
He said, "What book are you reading, so serious?"
Gao Qiuniang let go of her hand, and Ren Changsun Sheng took the book and said:
"The Book of the Later Han Dynasty, I'm reading the Book of Emperor Guangwu and the Book of the Empress."
Changsun Sheng put the book aside and said, "What attracted you to the book?"
Gao Qiuniang seemed to be thoughtful, and said with some emotion:
"I think it's not easy for Emperor Guangwu and Empress Yin."
"Actually, the Emperor's House is not necessarily happier than ordinary people."
"Why are there so many people who are desperate for their lives to chase the supreme power?"
Changsun Sheng sighed: "Sometimes I am forced to go down and have to go down."
"Take Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu as an example, since the day of the incident with his brother, there has been no turning back."
"Once you turn back, the families involved in it will face the fate of annihilation."
"After his brother was killed, he had to take on these responsibilities."
"The fate of several families depends on their success or failure. Countless soldiers and subordinates rely on him to win wealth and glory."
"If he doesn't chase the supreme power, there is only one way out, and that is death."
Gao Qiuniang thought about it carefully, it was really the reason that Changsun Sheng said.
Just like today's government and the opposition, they all say that Yang Guang is brutal and slaughters his brothers and sisters.
On the other hand, if it was Yang Guang's other brothers who ascended the throne, would he let Yang Guang go?
------
Should the Changsun General's Mansion be tied to the future and fate of the Tang State Mansion?
It is a problem that has been plaguing Gao Qiuniang in recent days.
She turned her face to look at the chief Sun Sheng, and said softly:
"Husband, you say, is this family we set for Ah Wan right or wrong, a blessing or a curse?"
Changsun Sheng put one hand around his wife's shoulders and held her delicate hand with the other, and said:
"Can the lady know the weight of the word "faithfulness"?"
"Once it is disobeyed, how can it stand between heaven and earth?"
"There is no possibility of changing the marriage between the maid and the people."
"Since we can't change it, we have to work together with the Tang State Mansion to get the best results."
He was afraid that his wife was still uneasy in his heart, so he hugged Gao Qiuniang into his arms and said:
"I've already thought of a way to deal with it, and I'll discuss it with the Princess, so I can keep my progress safe."
Gao Qiuniang turned around, wrapped her arms around Changsun Sheng, raised her face and asked:
"How can I advance and retreat?"
Changsun Sheng said: "Wait for the time to move, don't start first, don't change your banner first."
"In this way, even if the big thing fails, you can take charge of one side of the power and join the new dynasty to become the founding hero."
Gao Qiuniang said: "The husband's strategy is very good, the concubine looks at the history books, the late Qin and the late Han Dynasty rose together, and the first people who started the incident were eventually destroyed, which is really a lesson from the past."
------
Seeing that Mrs. was a little settled in her heart, Changsun Sheng said:
"I still have something to discuss with my lady."
Gao Qiu Niang said coquettishly:
"If you have something to say, just say it, what else do you want to discuss?"
Eldest Sun Sheng leaned back.
Gao Qiuniang was lying on her side, her head pressed against his chest.
Changsun Sheng stroked his wife's hair with his right hand and said slowly:
"I don't think we can rush the teachings of the maid and the people. At present, we should focus on laying the foundation, otherwise we will pull out the seedlings and encourage them to grow."
Gao Qiuniang seemed to be sleepy, and didn't seem to care much about what Changsun Sheng was saying.
She moved her head to the middle of Changsun Sheng's chest, and said in a voice that was so low that it was almost difficult to hear:
"The concubine is all at the mercy of her husband's arrangement."
Changsun Sheng didn't care whether his wife was listening or not, so he talked about his thoughts to himself.
-------
Changsun Sheng felt that Ah Wan and Shimin were still too young, and they had to finish reading all the books they should read.
As for the art of war and strategy, it is still necessary to put it back.
When they get older and have a rough understanding of scripture and history, they will learn the art of war and strategy, so that they will understand more profoundly.
For Guanyin, it is best to let her complete the enlightenment with Ding Niangzi in Hanmo Zhai.
Let Li Shimin study with Wuji in Xiushui Pavilion.
Changsun Sheng planned to give him a book list, first read "Erya", "University", "Zhongyong", "Shangshu", "Chinese" and other books, and then pass on his art of war and strategy according to the situation.
------
Changsun Sheng said, seeing that his wife was silent, he thought that Gao Qiuniang had fallen asleep.
He turned around and put his hands on her shoulders, trying to put her on the pillow.
Gao Qiuniang hugged Changsun Sheng tighter, and said with a smile: "I'm listening."
Changsun Sheng eased his hand, patted Gao Qiuniang lightly on the back, and said jokingly:
"You heartless, I thought you were asleep."
