Chapter 894 Breaking the barriers
The flags were roaring, and Li Shimin was in a particularly good mood today. He said many words, and every sentence revealed the same information. I will use you, and your future is infinitely bright. Even with Li Mu present, these young lieutenants were unable to be excited. It is said that learning literature and martial arts and selling goods to the imperial family. In such an era, being recognized by the emperor is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of them.
Li Shimin was tired of speaking, and looked at Li Mu with unfulfilled feelings and said, "Li Mu, what else is there to do? You can continue."
Li Mu thought for a while and said, "The next thing is to distribute uniforms and wear epaulettes. If your Majesty is interested, he can wear them for the lieutenants himself. This will be their supreme glory."
Li Shimin was stunned, personally...
He looked at the people in the audience and his face looked a little ugly. If he had worn them one by one, he would not have finished it in a whole morning. Just as he was about to speak, a cheer suddenly sounded: "Long live your Majesty!"
The emperor personally wore a slap. Such an honor was never seen before. The captains were slightly stunned and then reacted, and then burst into cheers.
Seeing this scene, Li Shimin laughed again and said with great interest: "Okay, let me and the Marquis of Luoyang wear it for everyone."
Li Shimin thought to himself, let you dig a hole for me, so come together!
Such glory, even the generals watching the ceremony became popular, and they only regretted that they could not be born decades later and stood in the queue.
Immediately, Li Mu asked someone to bring a roster and began to read out the name of the lieutenant. The lieutenant who was called immediately got his crown and walked up to the platform step by step with heavy breathing, standing in front of Li Shimin and Li Mu. Li Mu was responsible for distributing the uniform, while Li Shimin picked up the lightweight ones and handed them over to the epaulette.
After taking these two things, the captain raised his hand and bowed loudly, "Long live Your Majesty! Ten thousand years of the Tang Dynasty!"
The voice was deafening, and Li Shimin had a new appreciation of the vitality of young people. Li Shimin couldn't help but think that these people's voices seemed to be rented, and they were really shouting like they were dead. I don't know how many days they could survive, so don't be hoarse.
The lieutenants left the line and returned to the team like a lantern, but the speed was not slow. Li Mu also explained to Li Shimin that the lieutenant who accepted the epaulette could be called "soldiers" in the future. Adding the word "soldiers" to the front of the soldiers was the first to be found in the early Tang Dynasty. In the past ideology, the sergeants and soldiers were of high class, and the soldiers had low status, and even worse than farmers.
Don’t underestimate this small change. This means that the warrior who had a low status in the past also had the opportunity to improve his status. Although it was only a small number of people, if you opened this hole, the future will be easier. When the barriers to class are broken, neutralization and assimilation will be a matter of time.
It took more than an hour to finish the ceremony of the seal. Li Shimin waved his hand tiredly: "It's all gone."
The lieutenants shouted, "Affect the order." But they still stood still.
Li Shimin smiled at them and said, "It's getting late, I'm going back to the palace. You guys are very busy training. Don't be lazy and delay. I have time to visit you again." After saying that, he walked off the platform, Li Mu immediately followed him and sent him to the door. Li Shimin turned around and smiled at Li Mu and said, "Good job!"
Li Mu said seriously: "I just didn't think it well, but I didn't expect that I had used it for so long. I'm tired of your Majesty..."
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "I've been delayed for a while. I'm not old enough to lift my arms. I know that you are trying to cultivate the loyalty of the lieutenants to me, and I understand your good intentions?"
Li Muxin said that he really didn't think so. It was time to send a uniform and just say it out loud. But if Li Shimin thought so, what could he say? He nodded with a smile and said, "Your Majesty can understand me, and everything I have done is worth it."
Li Shimin got on the carriage, lifted the curtain and said to Li Mu: "Li Mu, you train them well. If you have any needs, even if you speak to me, I will agree to everything you can. One day, I will ask them to make merits, and the future of the Tang Dynasty will be in the hands of these people."
Li Mu said solemnly: "I must do my best to live up to your entrustedness!"
"Okay!" Li Shimin said a good word, put down the curtain, raised his hand, and Eunuch Gao drove away.
Li Mu watched the car go away before turning around. At this point, he didn't know whether he was loyal to Li Shimin or not. He still had to do what he should do. As for the final result, he would just wait and see.
...
After working hard for a day, he finally arranged the martial arts lecture hall almost exactly. Li Mu dragged his tired body and moved to the carriage step by step. The carriage squeaked, crossed the river and reached the other side, and pulled Li Mu back to his own courtyard.
All three children were asleep. Li Zhien, wearing fox fur, was waiting for him at the door. Flying snowflakes were scattered, making him look even more furry and cute.
A crescent moon in the sky cannot cover up the glory of the stars.
The stars of this era are extremely dazzling because the air has not been polluted and there is no smog day.
Hanging in the sky, it seems to be within reach.
Li Mu sat next to Li Zhien, waved his hand, and signaled the coachman to leave quietly.
He gently approached Li Zhien, trying to gently embrace her in his arms. But unexpectedly, the movement was a bit large. Li Zhien opened his eyes and saw that it was Li Mu, so he closed his eyes again.
Li Mu couldn't help laughing and said, "Are you awake or pretending to be asleep?"
Li Zhien leaned into Li Mu's arms, arched like a kitten, and said, "Husband, I'm waiting for you to fall asleep."
"Not this is allowed in the future." Li Mu gently put his shoulder on her and said, "Although the temperature in the valley is slightly higher than that outside, it is also a time for freezing ice. If you get infected with wind and cold and get sick, it will be difficult to deal with."
"Well," Li Zhien agreed obediently, and as Li Mu looked at the stars in the sky, he suddenly said for no reason: "Husband, I don't want you to avenge me."
"Hmm?" Li Mu looked at Li Zhien blankly and frowned and said, "When did I say I want to avenge you? Besides, why not take revenge?"
"I can guess some of my husband's thoughts." Li Zhien looked at Li Mu and said, "My husband must have felt that I escaped from Silla, and my heart must be full of hatred. I thought so at the beginning, but after returning to Chang'an, I thought about it carefully and actually didn't seem to have any hatred. On the contrary, I was actually happy."
