"People are in high spirits during happy events, so they should drink a few more drinks." Yang Ming held a banquet in Cheng'en Hall of the East Palace to entertain everyone.
Jiancheng will be leaving soon. He is the host and guest minister of the Ministry of Etiquette. It would be the same with or without him.
It stands to reason that this official position is not small, but the Sui Dynasty was like this. With Comrade Yang Guang traveling abroad all the year round, there were not many people in the imperial city's yamen. There was either a shortage of people or a shortage of people, so that there were many people.
On weekdays, I have to wear multiple hats, which is quite confusing.
Jiancheng smiled and said: "The people of the world are what they are today, thanks to His Highness's support. If he dares to forget his roots in the future, I will be the first to deal with him."
Can you deal with this? Looking at your kindness, Yang Ming smiled and said:
"Shimin is almost an adult. You may not be able to manage them in the future."
"Impossible," Jiancheng, who was already drunk, said with a smile, "I am the elder brother, and I am ten years older than Shimin, but he is still afraid of me."
Hopefully, in Yang Ming's heart, he is actually closer to Jiancheng. His personality is that of a trustworthy person with not much scheming. He and he have known each other since they were young, so their relationship is very good.
As for Shimin, he was not born to be inferior to others. Yang Ming even considered that before he died, he must kill Shimin to prevent him from being disadvantageous to Yang Rui.
In the whole world, no one understands Li Shimin's abilities better than himself.
Su Lie and the others are also ready. For this year's martial arts competition, seventeen people will follow Su Lie. In addition to those familiar figures in history, there are also some people who are going. Due to various reasons, they are in history.
Not famous, but not necessarily worse than those people.
One of them, Wang Jing, a young man from a branch of the Langya Wang family, was extraordinary. He was not only good at fighting, but also very resourceful. He was originally assigned to the Youwu Guard, and was spotted by Li Jing. He mentioned it to Yang Ming many times in private.
This person.
"Taking the scientific examination to become an official is just the beginning. Now that the country is using troops, it is a good opportunity for you to make contributions and make achievements," Yang Ming raised his glass and said to the crowd:
"The food must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step. You are all selected by Gu, and you have gone to work under Mai Tiezhang. Don't embarrass Gu, lest others say that the candidates selected by the prince this year are not useful."
Cheng Yaojin raised his glass and stood up and said: "Prince, don't worry, I will fight to the death and will never retreat."
Others also agreed.
If they go down, they won't be given any military positions. Yang Ming has already written to Mai Tiezhang in advance, letting him arrange it. This is to train talents for the country, not Yang Ming's intention to train confidants, so Mai Tiezhang will be appointed according to the situation.
If you really can't use it, just throw it aside.
After all, it is about physical strength, and the test is about martial arts, not the art of war. Among these people, those who have read military books are very rare.
However, as long as they can perform meritorious service, they will have the opportunity to study military science in the future, because the Sui Dynasty military also has a place for generals to study, the Ministry of War.
In the Ministry of War's Staff Department, this department is in charge of maps, city gods, towns, forts, beacons, and all matters related to conquest and defense. Generals with potential will be selected and trained.
What does this potential mean? It has strong technical skills and a strong backend.
If you want to study without a background, it's impossible.
However, since the training department of the Staff Division was established, not a single famous general has been trained here.
Real combat experience is gained from battle after battle, and those who have experience will not teach it easily.
If Li Jing wasn't Yang Su's disciple and Han Qinhu's nephew, he wouldn't know how to fight. Learning from these two people would be much better than going to the Ministry of War for training.
And these famous historical generals sitting in front of Yang Ming now all have experience in fighting one game after another. When they were just starting out, they were also little ones.
At the banquet, Yuchi Jingde felt a little unconvinced. Although his current official position was relatively high, he had not made a name for himself during the scientific examination and was far inferior to Shan Xiongxin, who had the highest qualifications.
Among them, whoever is the most famous will have a better future. This is for sure. After all, everyone has similar backgrounds.
He has a relative named Yang Yichen, and Shan Xiongxin also has a benefactor named Zhang Xutuo.
As a martial artist, he was vulgar. He directly asked Yang Ming at the banquet to allow him to have a game with Shan Xiongzhi.
What a coincidence, Yang Ming also wants to know who is more powerful among these two.
So a banquet competition began.
Shan Xiongxin held on for a long time, but was still defeated. On the contrary, Cheng Yaojin, who ended up with itchy hands, had a deadlock with Yuchi Jingde.
Yang Yuanqing, who was standing behind Yang Ming, was also itching and begging Yang Ming to let him go.
"You three come together," Yuan Qing was so domineering.
Yuchi Jingde couldn't stand the insult, so he just stood up and stabbed him.
Warriors like to compete for the first place. If Yang Yinjiang hadn't stopped him, Yang Yuanqing would have wanted to unseat his uncle Xuanting to prove that he was the best in the capital.
In the end, the three of them definitely didn't go up together. After all, everyone wanted to lose face, so they lost to Yang Yuanqing one by one.
Han Shi'er and Li Mi had been cheering for Yuan Qing, and after they won, they even praised Yuan Qing to the sky, which made the other people quite embarrassed.
This kid is really tough. What did he eat when he grew up?
Pei Xingyan couldn't hold it any longer and ended up having sex with Yuan Qing. On the contrary, Su Lie didn't have the urge. He knew that he couldn't do these two with force alone. After all, he didn't eat well when he was a child and his physical foundation was weak.
.
I'm a vegetarian who eats glutinous rice, but it's not as good as other people's soup made with bones and big fish and meat.
As expected, Pei Xingyan was also defeated. He sat down and cursed, muttering that he had lacked exercise recently and was out of shape.
"I have specially selected the best armors and weapons for you from my own treasury. Come, bring them up." Yang Ming raised his arm, and a group of guards brought up a pair of lacquered armors and weapons.
.
First of all, this is a batch of armor with the best craftsmanship in the Hedong refinery. Furthermore, it is also painted for you.
However, most of them are bronze in color, and the painted parts are different, so each pair of armor looks very different.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Shan Xiongxin and others, how have they ever seen this before? Everyone’s eyes were straightened.
Military generals? There is no war horse, armor or weapons that they covet the most. If there is, it can only be a woman.
The next step is to try them on. The armors are all of a unified standard, but there are gaps for modification at the joints. The fit can be modified according to each person's body shape.
In the hall, everyone's faces were filled with happy smiles, and they commented on each other's armors as if they were receiving year-end awards.
During this period, Yang Ming hooked his fingers at one of them, who hurriedly ran forward and squatted in front of Yang Ming.
"What's your relationship with Xuanzhang?" Yang Ming asked in a low voice.
It was obviously a whisper, so the officials in the East Palace did not dare to listen. Instead, they raised their voices and talked with others to cover up the prince's voice.
Zhu Can quickly replied: "I dare not hide it from Your Highness. I bought my official position in Qiao County from the Duke of Qinghe County."
This is not unusual. As for an official, you don't have to spend money to choose one from the local powerful families. In fact, it is similar to the policy of restraining the local people in Lingnan, which is to use local people to rule local people.
Qiaojun is located in Bozhou, Anhui Province, bordering Shangqiu City, Henan Province.
This man is honest, and he doesn’t look like a man-eating demon king at all. Yang Ming smiled and said:
"Lead your troops well and don't let me down."
After saying that, Yang Ming waved his hand, and the latter quickly retreated.
So if any of these people in front of me makes a mistake in the future, Yang Ming will raise his hand if he can, but Zhu Can can't. If this person dares to mess around, he will be killed directly.
After the banquet, Yang Ming went directly to Gao Yue.
Lying in the other person's soft embrace, Yang Ming felt his whole body and mind relax all of a sudden, letting Gao Yue's palms caress his face and neck back and forth.
Yang Ming has no idea how this change in Lingnan will develop. After all, there has been no rebellion in Lingnan in history.
I am not a god, and I cannot understand everything.
"The state affairs are heavy. Now that Your Highness is here, please stop thinking about those things." Gao Yue lowered her head and looked down at Yang Ming, who was frowning, and felt heartbroken. Her only relative now was Yang Ming.
Yang Ming sighed, his eyebrows gradually stretched, he opened his eyes and said:
"It makes me sad to think that you and I will eventually be separated."
Gao Yue smiled and stroked Yang Ming's forehead: "I can at least stay with His Highness for another ten years. After ten years, I will be an old woman. Your Highness wants to see me then, and I don't want to see Your Highness either."
"Appearance ages easily and youth fades away easily. This is the way of nature. I will not dislike you," Yang Ming said.
Gao Yue smiled and said: "I despise myself. When the flowers fade away, I can dedicate my remaining beauty to His Highness. Gao Yue has no regrets in this life."
Yang Ming raised his hand and touched the frown at the corner of the other person's eyes, and said: "Flowers will bloom again, and people will never be young again. We meet each other in a drunken atmosphere, so why should we have fresh flowers? You can't leave. You are my comfort medicine."
Gao Yue cried, and tears fell on Yang Ming's face drop by drop.
She is forty-three years old this year. Next, she will gradually age, her skin will become loose and wrinkled, and her appearance will no longer be the same as before. She wants to stay with Yang Ming for a longer time, but she does not want to face him with gray hair and gray hair.
Yang Ming.
"The poem you just made is so good. Can you write another one for me?" Gao Yue choked with sobs.
Without thinking, Yang Ming said calmly: "You gave birth to me before you were born, and I gave birth to you when you were old. You hated that I was born late, and I hate that you were born early."
Gao Yue was shocked and completely collapsed.
That night, Yang Ming's body was covered in bruises and bruises, and there were a lot of tooth marks, but he told Gao Yue to keep it a secret and not to spread these two poems. Gao Yue grumbled and agreed.
