palace...
East Palace...
Li Chengqian was sitting on a rocking chair, boredly looking at the globe, studying the route of the Maritime Silk Road.
The colonies of the Empire on which the sun never sets will eventually become the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
"Brother Emperor, Brother Emperor..."
Two slightly anxious, yet unconcealed excited voices came from outside the door.
Li Chengqian sat up from the rocking chair, froze for a moment, thinking he was hallucinating.
Since he came to Datang, no prince has ever approached him.
Immediately afterwards, Ling'er ran in and said softly: "His Royal Highness, the King of Wu is here. Ling'er seems very anxious when he looks at him."
"Li Ke?" Li Chengqian asked suspiciously: "What kind of wind is this, it blows him to the East Palace."
"Let's go out with Bengong to have a look."
As Li Chengqian said, he walked out, and as soon as he reached the door, Li Ke came to meet him.
Seeing Li Chengqian, Li Ke's face immediately showed joy, "Brother Emperor, it's great that you are in the East Palace, I thought you were out of the palace."
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.
Li Chengqian looked him up and down, and said in a low voice, "What are you asking me for?"
"Hehe..." Li Tai said with a light smile, "Don't blame the emperor, it's the younger brother who is being rude."
"My brother heard that the emperor's brother is going to resume martial arts. If he performs well, he can even join the military academy prepared by the emperor's brother?"
Li Chengqian nodded: "It is true."
Li Ke replied: "That's really great, but I want to participate in martial arts, but my father won't let me."
Li Chengqian frowned slightly, "As a prince, it's really inappropriate for you to take part in the martial arts exam, and besides, you care about this false name?"
Li Ke hastily explained: "I want to attend the military academy, I don't care if I am a famous martial artist, but I really want to go to this military academy."
"I don't know if the emperor can give the younger brother a place."
"That's it?" Li Chengqian asked doubtfully.
He didn't expect Li Ke to come to him in person for such a trivial matter.
Li Ke learned about this from Li Shimin, but Li Shimin didn't make the decision.
It can be seen that Li Shimin attached great importance to this matter, so much so that he did not open the back door to his son.
"That's it." Li Ke couldn't stop nodding.
Li Chengqian said in a low voice: "Okay, I promise you, I will give you a place in the Military Academy, but you have to agree to one condition."
"Brother Huang, it's okay to say, I will do my best." Li Ke patted his chest and promised.
Li Chengqian said in a deep voice: "You went to the Military Academy, the palace needs you to maintain the atmosphere, don't engage in privileges in everything."
This is what Li Chengqian cares most about, and it is also what he deliberately maintains.
If Li Ke joined the military academy, he would undoubtedly be the student with the highest status and background in the academy.
As long as he leads by example and does not engage in privileges, then everyone in the academy will have to be honest.
Li Ke said firmly: "That's it? Don't worry, Brother Huang, as long as the younger brother arrives at the military academy, he will definitely lead by example, and he will never engage in any privileges just because he is the prince."
At this time, Li Ke has also opened his heart and let go of the position of prince. How can Yinghuo compete with Haoyue?
Judging from Li Chengqian's strength, he was completely free and had no chance.
Li Ke still has this self-knowledge.
Besides, as a prince, he has no worries about food and clothing, and no one in Tang Dynasty dares to bully him.
After figuring it out, Li Ke felt relieved and put all his energy into studying at the Military Academy.
This will be his pursuit in the years to come.
Li Chengqian nodded, "Well, after the military academy is formally established, you can report directly."
Li Ke cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Brother Huang, for fulfilling your wish, and I will retire."
After the words fell, Li Kefei ran out of the East Palace like flying.
Looking at Li Ke's disappearing figure, Li Chengqian's eyes became more kind.
Li Chengqian didn't have much feeling for these princes at first, after all, these people were enemies who were supposed to compete with him for the throne.
The reason why they didn't dare to have unreasonable thoughts about the throne anymore was because of Li Chengqian's overwhelming strength.
But Li Chengqian is not a big evil person, since they didn't compete with him for the throne, there is no need for him to embarrass them.
The next morning.
Qianniuwei with a knife posted the imperial list under the city wall.
The crowds around Huangbang were crowded and crowded.
The reopening of the martial arts examination in the Tang Dynasty, like a gust of wind, quickly swept through Chang'an City and even the Tang Dynasty.
They have been waiting for this imperial list for an unknown amount of time.
"Great, I finally waited until this day. I don't know what kind of title my Duan family's unique skills can make me win in this martial arts test."
"Your Majesty's grace is great, and the martial arts test is re-opened. This is an opportunity for those of us in white with good martial arts skills to honor our ancestors."
"This matter is not as simple as you imagined. Those princely children have already known the news, and they have already made full preparations for the martial arts test."
"So what? The martial arts test is based on strength, not on someone's background. We, the humble family, have the same chance to defeat the prince's children in the martial arts field."
The melon-eating crowd watching around looked at the posted imperial list and talked a lot.
But most of them are spectators.
After all, the martial arts test is not only about martial arts, but also strategy and art of war.
Ordinary white clothes don't have extra money to buy the art of war.
But even so, there are many children from poor families.
Due to the fact that there are too many people applying for martial arts exams from all over the Tang Dynasty this year, before the martial arts exams started, most of them were screened out according to their background status and some orientation tests.
Only a very small number of people can be shortlisted for the martial arts test.
Chang'an City...
Ganlu Hall...
Li Shimin sat at the top of the table.
Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, handed over the roster of this year's martial arts exam to Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, these are the candidates for the martial arts examination this year. There are a total of 300 people. Their backgrounds and identities will be checked for the second time at the end, and they can stand consideration."
The martial arts examination resumed, besides Li Shimin, the happiest person is Li Jing.
What he cares most about now is the military development of the Tang Dynasty, the resumption of martial arts examinations, and Li Chengqian's preparations for the establishment of a military academy.
This is another milestone step for Datang's military development.
In particular, Li Chengqian's idea of establishing a military academy has completely overturned his understanding of the training of military generals.
Originally, he thought that all excellent generals were born on the battlefield, and they could only grow up if they were constantly baptized by the flames of war.
As for the art of war and the art of war, it all depends on self-consciousness.
Li Chengqian's military academy broke this tradition. He systematized military learning and edited military affairs into various courses.
It allows the selected talents to carry out systematic military learning, which is easier to understand and absorb, and the generals grow faster.
This kind of batch training of outstanding generals allowed Li Jing to see the unlimited potential of Datang's military development.
Chapter 504 Anxious Li Jing
Thousands of troops are easy to get, but one general is hard to find. This is an eternal truth.
Li Shimin's face was stern, and he looked through the roster of martial arts exams carefully, without anger or prestige. He attached great importance to this matter.
"This martial arts exam, how many people are there from the poor family?"
Li Shimin closed the roster and looked at Li Jing in the hall.
Li Jing stepped forward and saluted, and responded: "Return to Your Majesty, among the 100 students who participated in the martial arts examination this year, [-] of them were born in white clothes."
"100 people?" Li Shimin said in astonishment, "Why are there so many?"
All the princes in the palace were also very surprised.
According to the past, among the 50 students who participated in the martial arts examination, [-] of them were born in white clothes, that would be quite remarkable.
After all, the background of aristocrats and aristocratic families is not easy to measure.
Learning martial arts from famous teachers since childhood, studying the art of war, and being instructed by famous generals, this is their natural advantage.
But this year the number of white clothes has doubled, how can it not be surprising.
"Your Majesty, you don't know that these people are all influenced by His Highness the Crown Prince. In the military field, His Highness the Crown Prince's achievements have already surpassed those of the veterans."
"Moreover, the three armies under the command of His Royal Highness are the existences that the world admires, and His Highness is the God of War in their hearts."
"Nowadays, these little gentlemen who practice martial arts, their admiration for His Royal Highness is like a sea of rivers."
Li Jing said, his words were a little excited.
But this is a fact, a fact that even Li Shimin has to admit.
Li Chengqian's talent has never been shown on his lips.
Li Jing once played a military game with Li Chengqian in private, but he found that even under the premise of Li Chengqian's deliberate release of water, he was still defeated.
At the beginning, Li Jing still had some grievances in his heart. After all, he was the military god of the Tang Dynasty, and he was a famous figure who rolled over from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. How could he be defeated so easily?
Later, he also figured it out, if you can't treat Li Chengqian as a human being, you can't compare with him.
"Okay, very good..." Li Shimin stroked the dragon's beard, feeling very good.
At this time, Li Shimin's mentality had already changed, and he had already adapted to Li Chengqian's behavior style.
If it doesn't make a sound, it's a blockbuster.
If it were placed on the emperors of all dynasties, Li Chengqian would have been charged with the crime of great achievements.
After all, this kind of thing is not something that any emperor can bear, because of the great achievements, there are too many loyal and good people who have been killed in this world.
But under the subtle influence of Li Chengqian, instead of having such thoughts, Li Shimin was happy that his son had such outstanding achievements.
After all, he, Li Shimin, will always be Li Chengqian's father, and if his son is awesome, he is naturally his father.
Moreover, Li Chengqian has never had the slightest interest in his position as emperor.
The ministers of the court, including Changsun Wuji, Li Chengqian has never deliberately wooed anyone.
I have never deliberately sold the face of any minister.
Sometimes, even Li Shimin doesn't know what he thinks, the position of emperor is like a hot potato to him, let him avoid it.
Li Shimin continued to ask: "Have the subjects of the martial arts exam been finalized?"
Li Jing shook his head, "Not yet, I will not dare to make decisions on this matter privately. Your Majesty will have to consider the subject of the exam yourself."
Li Jing could tell how much Li Shimin attached importance to the martial arts test.
Li Shimin turned to the old eunuch Chen Lin and said, "Chen Lin, go and call Cheng Qian to me. I also want to hear his opinion on this matter."
"It's Your Majesty, I'll go right now."
Chen Lin responded, and left the Ganlu Hall to the East Palace to invite Li Chengqian to discuss matters.
Li Jing wasn't too surprised, Li Shimin had already taken it for granted that he had to consult with Li Chengqian about everything.
a little while...
Li Chengqian came from the East Palace, entered the Ganlu Hall, and bowed in front of him, "I will see my father."
Looking at Li Chengqian, Li Shimin's face overflowed with a smile. When Li Chengqian greeted him, he was the happiest. "Chengqian, how are you preparing for the Military Academy?"
