Chapter 29

At dawn, the sky was still dark. Qin mubai woke up and was about to get out of bed when the door was knocked. It's Qin Shubao who opens the door to welcome people.

"Physical strength is very important for today's big test. You need to take a rest in the morning instead of doing morning exercises." Qin Shubao came into the room and naturally sat down on Qin mubai's bed. However, he found that his son was looking at him with surprise and surprise. He could not help frowning: "liang'er, why do you look at him like this

"No What Qin Mu Bai breathed a sigh and showed his face with a smile. "I'm happy to see that my father's look is better every day."

It seems that the death of Qin Shubao, which yuan Tiangang had decided for him, was completely gone - great!

"Well." Qin Shubao nodded, stroked his long beard and said thoughtfully, "today is a big test for selecting officers for Baiqi. I want to tell you something."

"Father, please."

Qin Shubao frowned and said, "yesterday, uncle Cheng went to Xuanwu Gate and came back. He told me that there were a lot of people who participated in the Baiqi election. Among the children of the officers in the election, there are many nephews of the dignitaries of the current Dynasty. Such as Chang sun Huan, the third son of Chang sun Wuji, Wei Chi Baoyun, the third son of Yuchi Jingde, and Cheng huaibi, the third son of Uncle Cheng. "

"They're all three young masters." Qin Mu Bai couldn't help laughing, "the eldest son is xijue, and the second son is Shangzhu. The eldest son and the second son of these dignified ministers are either the future heirs of the Duke of the country, or they have married the princess as their son-in-law. There are only three sons left, just like a child, who want to compete for the hundred horsemen envoy and be a servant at the emperor's side. "

"Well said." Qin Shubao gently twisted his brow, "but do you know why your second brother didn't marry the princess?"

"Isn't the second brother married too early?"

"Of course not!"

Qin mubai was slightly surprised: "why is that?"

"Among the old officials of the Qin palace and the founding officials of the Zhenguan Dynasty, only father and uncle Cheng's son didn't marry a princess." Qin Shubao stopped for a moment, stroked his long beard, and said, "over the years, the two of us have been alienated by the emperor and almost retired as father. Cheng zhijieyuan, as a state official in the imperial court, is basically a person walking for tea. All this is because of an old story a few years ago... "

"What is it?" Qin mubai asked.

"A few years ago, Li Xiaochang, the governor of Lizhou, King Yi'an, and Liu Deyu, the general of youwuwei, conspired against each other Qin Shubao said, "at that time, they didn't make much noise, and they didn't make it. However, Liu Deyu was promoted by his father at that time, and he was recommended to Cheng Zhijie's youwuwei. Because of this, uncle Cheng and I have a stain. Although emperor Shengming didn't involve us in the end, some people in the court didn't think so. So the two of us had to take the initiative to keep a low profile. Therefore, in the past few years, being a father has been nothing more than thanking guests behind closed doors. Cheng Zhijie was a state official for several years, and he didn't return to Chang'an once because of the aftereffects of this incident. "

"I see. It is mediocre not to be envied. My father and uncle Cheng have such an unwarranted stain, so some people in the court have used it to make articles to exclude you, right? " Qin mubai said.

"Not bad."

"Who is that?"

Qin Shubao frowned slightly, stopped for a moment, and said, "that's why I want to talk to you today. Not surprisingly, with your current martial arts skills, even if you can't get a hundred riding envoys, at least you can get the position of deputy envoys. As a result, you will have to work with some people in the same Dynasty. Some things must be in your heart. "

"In fact, no matter which dynasty or generation, it is common for courtiers to fight and generals to run." Qin Shubao said, "our generals are divided by the front and back of Xuanwu Gate. Before the change of Xuanwumen, uncle Cheng and I were powerful generals and confidants under the command of the king of Qin. During the Xuanwumen incident, Cheng Zhijie and I stood firmly in the camp of the king of Qin, but we were transferred to prepare for the northern expedition by Yuan Ji, king of Qi. Although we came back at the time of the incident, they had made plans. Instead of holding an important position, we were sent to command the Imperial City Yulin army, so we did not directly participate in the incident. But Yuchi Jingde and other generals made great contributions to that important political incident. "

"After that, Yuchi Jingde soared to the sky and became the most trusted General of the emperor. Cheng Zhijie and I were compared by him. When the emperor ascended the throne and enfeoffed, Yuchi Jingde and Chang sun Wuji and others had almost twice as many cities as Uncle Cheng and me. " Qin Shubao said, "Uncle Cheng and I have been fighting with the king of Qin for more than ten years, and we have made countless outstanding achievements. In the end, we are not as good as Yuchi Jingde who cut his head in a political incident Therefore, the old generals of the Qin government and Yuchi Jingde and others began to fight and oppose each other. The result is that Yuchi Jingde is increasingly valued, and we have to retreat because of the involvement of that conspiracy case. "

"I see. As the saying goes, "if a Taoist strives for breath and a Buddha for incense, his father and uncle Cheng don't agree. It's also human nature." Qin Mu nodded and said, "it seems that the court is not as calm as it seems. There are competitions and runs among the officials and generals. My father told me this because he wanted me to get along with the descendants of Chang sun Wuji and Yuchi Jingde and get along with them? ""Not bad." Qin Shubao nodded and said with a smile, "my son is gifted and intelligent. I don't worry about you losing to them. These things you have the bottom of the mind on the line, do not have to publicize. You only need to remember that everything above the court hall is under the control of the emperor. It doesn't matter who you ignore, but think of the emperor in everything. "

"My child, listen to me!"

There are many soldiers in Xuanwumen, a school of kongfu. Under the umbrella of Huangluo and the flying dragon flag, Li Shimin, who is usually crowned with dragon robes, is wearing a golden and white Hu suit, and wearing Yuanyou's head to win the title. His face is full of smiles. He looks at the 40 officers who are running for the election, riding into a square array.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Around Wenwu, Jiashi Jianer together mountain call ginseng ceremony.

"All of you are flat!" Li Shimin stepped out of the canopy, turned over and rode on a majestic purple blue horse. He took two rows of armored guards to Qin mubai and others. His eyes swept over the athletes, and a smile appeared on his face.

"I joined the army at the age of 16 and have been fighting for more than ten years. Since then, I have never forgotten my martial arts. I'm glad to see you today. You are the best young people in the Tang Dynasty and the pillars of the army in the future. " As far as Li Shimin and Lang Lang are concerned, all the athletes are excited.

"Today, I personally preside over the selection of Baiqi officers." Li Shimin said, "Baiqi is my personal guard. He is not controlled by any provincial and Taiwan military government. He is only under my command. Therefore, my first requirement for Baiqi officers is absolute loyalty to me! I have absolute confidence in you. "

"Emperor Shengming!" All the athletes join hands to pay homage.

Qin mubai said in his heart: Li Shimin is really good at dealing with people. He shows his openness and trust first The people of Zhenguan Datang attach the most importance to honesty. It is true that the personality charm of a king determines the weather of a dynasty.

"As for the way of competition, I have been thinking about it for days and have come up with many ideas. In the end, they were all overthrown one by one - because I thought that "returning to nature" was the best way Li Shimin laughed and said, "today, you forty athletes are going to go back to the battlefield. You are all the descendants who grew up in the peaceful times. Maybe you don't know what a real battlefield is? Well, I'll tell you today! "

What does the emperor want to do?

"As a general, fighting in the battlefield is his destiny. A general who can't go to the battlefield or take part in actual combat is a defeated general! " Li Shimin said, "the way I have come up with for selecting officers is to let you rush into the battle line and take the head of the enemy's general from the army! The winner is selected and the loser is eliminated! "

"Ah? Do you really kill people? " Everyone exclaimed, Qin mubai could not help frowning: how does the emperor want to play?

"Of course, it's impossible for you to really kill people in the solemn place of the imperial city. But there are definitely risks. " Having said that, Li Shimin waved his hand, and a group of armored soldiers who had been ready behind him ran out neatly. A round military array similar to the eight trigrams array of Taiji was formed on the field of senior high school. In the center of the army, a red flag was set up high, flying high in the face of the fierce east wind in early spring.

"Did you see it all?" Li Shimin pointed to the flag and said, "that's the flag I chose for Baiqi. It's printed with my special five clawed golden dragon! Who can rush into the three thousand armored formation and grab the Dragon flag is the hundred horse envoy I want! "

"Ah -" the audience was full of exclamations, and the athletes began to talk about it. Even the civil and military officials who came to watch the war could not help but exclaim.

"The rules are simple." Li Shimin began to speak again, and the whole room was silent. "I don't care if you are alone or in groups, but only one hundred cavalry envoy is recognized. As for the three deputy envoys of Baiqi and other officers, I personally selected them after watching the competition. Now, you can start to plan and collect weapons! "

"Yes

Li Shimin rode back under the umbrella with a long smile, picked up a bowl of tea, and began to watch with great interest.

Like other athletes, Qin mubai got off the horse and went to the Ordnance Department to get the equipment. A tense atmosphere began to spread among the athletes.

As the emperor said, few of these "rich second generation" children, even though they were generals, had ever been on the battlefield. But now I have to face the real fight, I feel a little nervous and nervous. Moreover, it is quite difficult for 40 people to fight for a dragon flag in the face of 3000 armor.

All the weapons that can be collected are processed. The gun has no spear head, the arrow has no cluster of arrows, and the knife has no blade, obviously in order to avoid causing death. However, even the unarmed fighting will inevitably lead to casualties, not to mention the big scuffle with horses and guys. For every athlete, as long as they rush into the armored formation, everyone in it may be their own opponent!

This is the most lethal!

"You have to have help!" Almost at the same time, Qin mubai and other athletes have the same idea. Unfortunately, he didn't know almost any of them. Many people get together in twos and threes to discuss, just like playing online games, are busy forming teams.Just then, a young man came to Qin mubai and patted him heavily on the shoulder: "third brother Qin!"

Qin mubai suddenly looked back, and his eyes suddenly brightened: this guy must be Cheng huaibi, Cheng Zhijie's third son. How much he looks like him!

"Cheng huaibi, is that you?" Qin mubai made a bold guess, and the other party immediately grinned, "ha ha, I haven't seen you for many years. Do you remember me? It seems that we played together in childhood, right? Yesterday, I heard from my father that you came to run for the election, so I'm looking for you in the crowd today - hehe, it's really easy to find. You look like the second uncle Qin, but every family can see his portrait! "

"Ha ha, I'm looking for you, too!" Qin mubai said with a smile, "how about we form a team?"

"That's not to say!" Cheng huaibi laughed heartily, then frowned at Qin mubai and whispered, "in fact, I paid attention to you in the primary election yesterday. I know in my heart that I'm not as good as you in terms of martial arts. My father also told me that with you, Baiqi made me forget about it. Let's talk about it first. I'll help you win the Dragon flag. The hundred riding envoys are yours. I only need a deputy envoys at most. Third brother, what do you think? "

"Hey, hey! I haven't succeeded yet, so I want to share the spoils with you? " Qin mubai couldn't help laughing. He looked around and said, "it's really hard to succeed by one person. You see, these people have formed teams in twos and threes, and some of them have seven or eight together. Their strength must be very strong. Let's be careful. "

"Third brother, don't worry, I'll listen to you!"

They picked out a seven foot long gun, the head of which was covered with cloth and covered with lime. Go back on the horse and ride together.

Half an hour later, the golden horn on the field of the senior high school rings. Forty athletes form their own teams and are eager to have a try. As soon as the cannon rings, a fierce battle for the Dragon flag will begin.

Cheng huaibi glanced at the side and said in a low voice, "third brother, look over there - there are so many people in the team of Chang sun Huan and Wei Chi Baoyun. We have to be careful!"

Qin mubai looked back and saw seven or eight riders gathered on the right side, all of them were young men with bright robes. The first two people, one is a handsome white faced young man, the other is a black faced big man, who must be Chang sun Huan and Wei Chi Baoyun!
