Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the second day of the meeting between Li Shimin and the ministers, he officially issued a summons to establish the crown prince, appointing King Li Zhi of the Jin Dynasty as the crown prince and taking charge of the East Palace.  Although this news disappointed many people, it was reasonable from the perspective of concubine and concubine, so it did not cause much opposition.

    However, at the same time as the call for the crown prince was promulgated, Li Shimin issued another imperial edict, ordering the Chongwen Hall in the East Palace to cooperate with the military academy to establish a military academy youth class. This military academy class recruited some teenage boys from noble families.  Jiang, together with Li Zhi, Li Zhen and other princes, studied together in the military school class. The course arrangement was also very simple. He studied literature at Chongwen Hall in the morning and went to the military school to study martial arts in the afternoon.

    However, as soon as the news of this young class of the military academy came out, it was immediately opposed by Kong Yingda, Yu Zhining and other great scholars, because in their view, the prince has the important responsibility of the country, the country, and the country, and he will naturally have to be influenced by the saints from an early age.  Teaching, there is no need to go to military academy to learn those martial arts skills.

    As soon as the words of Kong Yingda and other great scholars came out, they naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of Li Jing and other generals, and they started to quarrel with each other one after another.  Today's Tang Dynasty still attaches equal importance to civility and military affairs. Although generals generally do not express their opinions in court, it does not mean that their words have no weight. This is essentially different from the later Song and Ming Dynasties, which emphasized civility and neglected military affairs.

    Li Shimin naturally dismissed the words of Confucian people like Kong Yingda. In essence, he was also a military commander, and as an emperor, if he did not know how to fight, he was definitely not a qualified emperor.  It is precisely because of this that Li Shimin ignored the opponents at all, but said, "The prince is young and weak."  Go to the military academy and get some training, at least you can strengthen your body.¡±  Forcibly settled the matter.

    The matter of letting Li Zhi go to the military academy was exactly done by Li Min.  However, he just briefly mentioned it in the letter, hoping that Li Shimin could let Li Zhi go to the military academy for some training. After all, the army is the most training place. If Li Zhi can live there for a while, he should be able to strengthen his will.  Get rid of some cowardly character.

    Li Shimin came from the army. Naturally, he knew that although life in the army was difficult, it was also the most challenging, so he gave Li Min's advice.  Naturally, he agreed very much, but he took into account Li Zhi's special status, 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 youth class and select some noble youths to study with the prince.  Come, Li Zhi will be able to study better if he is surrounded by peers, and if these aristocratic young men can succeed in their studies.  In the future, it will also become a major help for Li Zhi after he ascends the throne.

    In Li Zhi¡¯s bedroom in the East Palace, Li Zhi was wearing a cadet uniform sent by the military academy. Li Min was also involved in the design of this uniform. It was roughly the kind of military training uniform that was divided into tops and trousers in later generations.  It just adds some characteristics of Tang Dynasty costumes. Although it looks a bit weird, the students in the military academy are struggling all day long.  Wearing such clothes is not only convenient, but also extremely heroic.

    Li Zhi stood in front of the mirror and looked around.  Although his body is thin, this student uniform is designed to fit perfectly.  This made him look a little less immature, and a little more heroic and upright.

    "Bago, do you think I look older in this outfit?" Li Zhi asked excitedly to Li Zhen, who was drinking tea and snacks next to him.  In fact, in addition to Li Zhen, Li Shen, who is slightly younger than Li Zhi, is also there. The two of them are also wearing the uniforms of military academy cadets. They will enter the military academy together with Li Zhi in the future.

    Li Zhen glared at Li Zhi who was looking bad and said in a bad tone: "No matter how old you are, what can you do? You have to stay in Chang'an for the rest of your life. Speaking of which, seventh brother is lucky enough to go to Quanzhou in advance to be a bachelor."  His governor is gone, so he doesn't need to go to any military academy in Laoshizi. If he had known, I would also be serving as an official in another place."

    Li Zhen¡¯s complaint naturally has its own reasons. Originally, he was fourteen years old this year and could serve as an official in another place for one year next year.  And Li Zhen has always admired Li Min the most, and had long imagined that Li Min could govern a prosperous place like Li Min did in Dengzhou. But now that Li Zhi has become the prince, he doesn't have any objections. After all, no matter how he calculates, the prince will never fall behind.  It was a pity that his father Li Shimin wanted to set up a junior class of the military academy and ordered him to study there. He didn't know how long it would take to study. Naturally, his wish to go to other places to do something big came to nothing.

    As soon as Li Zhen finished speaking, Li Shen, who was also arranging his clothes, laughed and said, "Brother Bage, I'm afraid your purpose of thinking about officials from other places is not that simple. I heard that a member of the Yingguo family lives in your house."  Third young lady, you have a beautiful appearance, and you are in love with me, my Eighth Brother. Now you are waiting to get married. If you go to an official position in another place, I¡¯m afraid my brothers will have to drink your wedding wine first, right?"

    Although Li Shen is not very old, he is very precocious and what he says gets to the point immediately. Although Li Zhen is an official away from home,It was for the purpose of expressing his ambition, but he and Wu Meiniang had already been in love with each other for a long time, and even Mrs. Yang did not object to their marriage. However, Li Min did not want them to get married so early, saying that it was not good for their health.  This made Li Zhen very helpless.  In his opinion, Meiniang was already thirteen years old, and he was about to turn fifteen. There were so many people getting married at their age, so it was not too early at all. Unfortunately, Li Min persuaded Wu Meiniang, and both of them  They objected together, which made Li Zhen very helpless.

    But Li Zhen is not stupid either. He quickly thought of a way, which is what Li Shen just said. If he goes to work in another place, then according to the rules, he must get married first. For this valid reason, Sixth Brother must have  There is no reason to object.

    Li Zhen's face turned red when Li Shen revealed her feelings. She went up and knocked on Li Shen's little head and said: "What do children know? Meiniang and I are close friends. We have known each other for so many years. We have known each other for so many years."  It's time to get married, if it weren't for Sixth Brother"

    When he said this, Li Zhen suddenly shut up. The reason why Li Min was able to interfere in his marriage was mainly because Wu Meiniang was there, but Wu Meiniang's identity was not visible to the public. Although Li Min was his elder brother, he did not interfere in his marriage.  The reason was precisely because he thought of this, so he suddenly stopped.

    However, Li Zhi had very sharp ears. After hearing this, he dropped the mirror and asked with a smile: "Brother Bage, why did you get involved with Brother Six when you got married? Is it possible that Brother Six can still stop you from getting married?"

    If Brother Six hadn¡¯t stopped me, I might even have a child now.

    Li Zhen muttered in his heart, but he did not dare to say so. He just started to prevaricate: "How come it has nothing to do with Sixth Brother? At the beginning, he suggested to my father that the princess of the Tang Dynasty should not leave the cabinet until she is eighteen years old. In addition, the newspaper  The newspaper also publicized the disadvantages of getting married too early. As a result, the trend has changed dramatically both among the people and the aristocracy. Generally, women have to wait until they are at least sixteen before leaving the court, but Meiniang is only thirteen now. I guess I will have to do it again.  Wait three years!¡±

    When Li Zhen spoke, she smiled half-heartedly, which made Li Shen feel sympathetic.  But after all, he was still young and didn't know much about the relationship between men and women, so he didn't have any special feelings.  Li Zhen, on the other hand, sighed in her heart after hearing this. She also thought of Cai'er, who had been separated for more than half a year, and wondered how he was doing at Sixth Brother's place.  Have you grown taller again?  But I heard that the sun at the beach is very poisonous, so be sure not to tan your skin.

    "The Queen has arrived!" While Li Zhi was thinking about something, 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  , it is the eldest grandson queen of the mother-in-law world.

    Although Empress Changsun came out dressed up, she could not hide a haggard look on her face, and even a hint of silver hair could be seen among her jet-black hair.  The Empress Changsun is the mother of a country, and she usually takes excellent care of herself. Although she is already over forty years old, she usually looks like she is only in her thirties. However, in the past two months, she has aged very fast. Not only has her skin lost  Even the white hair has begun to show its former luster.

    Seeing Empress Changsun coming in, Li Zhi and the others hurriedly stood up and saluted: "My sons, please see your mother!"

    Queen Changsun was not surprised to see Li Zhen and Li Shen here. In the past, when Li Zhi was not the prince, the three brothers had a very good relationship, so they often moved around. Queen Changsun also agreed with this very much. Now seeing Li Zhi  Zhen and the two were 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 and don't lose the face of our royal family!  "Empress Changsun helped the three of them up with a smile and said.

    "Don't worry, mother, I am their elder brother. If anyone dares to bully the two younger brothers, I will break his legs!" Li Zhen stood up and said with a smile.  However, Queen Changsun couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this. Her instructions meant that the three brothers should support each other during training and not fall behind others. However, Li Zhen, an aggressive boy, understood the deviation and listened to what he meant.  It's like going to military school just to fight with others.

    As the aunt of all the princes, Empress Changsun naturally had to give her a lesson when she saw Li Zhen acting so dishonestly.  Although Li Zhen was bold, she did not dare to disrespect Empress Changsun, so she had to pretend to be submissive, saying that after entering the military academy, she would never take the initiative to find anyone to fight.  The implication is that if someone offends him, he will have no choice but to be beaten.  However, seeing Li Zhen being scolded, Li Zhi and Li Shen both looked gloating and almost laughed out loud.

    After Queen Changsun reprimanded Li Zhen a few words, she praised Li Shen for being good at reading books and being better than her brothers at a young age. As a result, both Li Zhen and Li Zhi looked at Li Shen angrily.  But at the end, Empress Changsun suddenly changed the subject and said: "Zhen'er, Shen'er, please stay away for a moment. I have some trouble with Pheasant Nu.?Say something!  "(To be continued.)
