The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1645 Military Academy

Not long after the school day, there are still a lot of people outside the academy. Usually, the academy does not allow outsiders to come in and out at will, but people outside can't stop being curious about the academy, and there are some parents of students, whose children enter the academy. After entering the academy, I was afraid that my child would be short of one or the other just after entering the academy, so I came from home to deliver some things to the child, and waited outside the academy or on Zhuangzi in advance, either waiting for the academy child to finish class in the evening, or to wait for the rest. Holiday.

Therefore, starting from the archway, the academy has the same appearance inside and the same appearance outside.

Xuan Shijing rode a horse directly from the archway into the range of the academy. He came back today and came to this academy mainly because he wanted to visit the Military Academy.

There are many places where the Datang Navy can be used in the future. It is precisely because of the emphasis that Xuan Shijing has also spent a lot of thought on this aspect.

It was already past noon when Xuan Shijing returned to Zhuangzi, and when he arrived at the academy in the afternoon, it was also the time when the students said that there were more students in the latest batch of the Military Academy than in the previous batch There are a lot of students. Firstly, the admissions of the Faculty of Arts are very strict. Of the 200 students who can be admitted, there are almost only 30 or so. It was the engineering college in Chang'an City who made the choice and decided which college to study.

However, at the Military Academy, it’s not that you can study if you want to, and you have to pass the exam before you can enter the Military Academy. It’s just that compared with the Literary Academy, the Military Academy pays more attention to the military strategy and physical fitness of students. It's not good, the military academy still doesn't accept it.

The Military Academy is a place to train middle-level talents for the Tang army. As for ordinary soldiers, as long as they have a clean background, they can join the army directly, and they don't even need to go through the academy.

And one of the conditions for entering the Military Academy is to have a clean background, and students whose parents or grandparents belonged to the military households of the Tang Dynasty are preferred.

As for students who are the only child in the family, they need the consent of their parents to enter the military academy. Although it is a peaceful time, it is not 100% free from wars. Nowadays, being a soldier is also a high-risk and high-risk industry. From the academy to the military camp , It's not that I went to live a stable life, but I have to think clearly.

So far, no student in the military academy has said that he is the only child in the family.

There are three kinds of unfilial piety, no offspring is the greatest, and Datang has not yet had the turn of the only son in the family to serve as a soldier on the battlefield.

Riding a horse to the gate of the military academy, Xuan Shijing got off the horse, and a one-armed old man at the gate greeted him, and took the reins from Xuan Shijing's hand.

Xuan Shijing nodded, and then entered the Military Academy.

Nowadays, most of the servants in the military academy have white beard and hair, some have broken arms, and some are lame. They usually do some cleaning work in the academy, but no one in the academy dares to Look down on these old people, they were all killed on the battlefield back then.

If these people are placed elsewhere, they may be regarded as a burden, but this is the Military Academy, and these old men are all veterans who guarded the Niangziguan back then.

These veterans joined the army when they were young, and the Central Plains was in chaos for more than ten years. After the war was over, they were too old to marry and have children. Later, their coach died of illness and they have been guarding Niangziguan. It is the homeland, there are too many things there.

They came to Dongshan County after a decree from His Majesty Li Er. With so many veterans, it was not suitable for them to stay in the army any longer. The court had to give them an explanation. The imperial court couldn't let them go. Let them go to Zhuangzi in Dongshan County in the early years, which can be regarded as finding a stable place for them to retire.

But after fighting for most of their lives, they couldn't be idle, and they didn't want to be raised by the Xuan family. They always wanted to do something. A few years ago, their bodies were fine, and they could do some slightly tiring jobs. Now they can't. Therefore, Xuan Shijing arranged them all in the Military Academy.

Here, it is most suitable for them.

Xuan Shijing walked all the way into the academy, and met veterans who were doing chores in the academy. After seeing Xuan Shijing, they all stopped to say hello.

"My lord."

"See my lord."

Xuan Shijing also nodded in response.

When I came to the study of the gentlemen of the academy, Li Xiaogong was the only one in the study.

"What kind of wind is this, it brought you here, ah, I haven't seen anyone since the academy started." Li Xiaogong laughed.

"I'm also following the old road of the prince. The court affairs, the prince should know how troublesome it is." Xuan Shijing smiled helplessly, and then sat opposite Li Xiaogong.

"It's predictable, the scene is different now, so trouble is inevitable." Li Xiaogong laughed.

Li Xiaogong is also a person who came from that era, and he can see every bit of change in the Tang Dynasty. After all, this Tang Dynasty, this country, and the battles between the north and the south, he also played a part in it, so how could he not understand.

"It's not easy for Datang to get to where it is today." Xuan Shijing smiled and said, "Although I was just a newborn baby in the early years of Zhenguan, after returning from the Western Regions, until now, Da Tang Tang’s changes are not small, either.”

"Why, come here today, and feel sorry for me here?" Li Xiaogong teased.

Xuan Shijing shook his head: "Not really, I just want to see the Military Academy, His Highness Jiang Wang is teaching students here, is he used to it, and wants to see the situation here."

"Oh, by the way, you are thinking about King Jiang." Li Xiaogong smiled: "Don't worry, to be honest, even I admired him, this kid used to be in a fiefdom, it seems that he is completely pretending ah."

"It's not forced by the situation, he just worried too much." Xuan Shijing explained a few words to Li Yuanxiang in front of Li Xiaogong.

Hearing this, Li Xiaogong smiled and waved his hands: "Don't worry, this king knows that this king is not a narrow-minded person. Moreover, it was normal for him to do this at that time. It was probably when he was in Yong'an Palace. Mother told him so."

Li Yuanxiang's mother, Yang Bin, is a person who has experienced things. Although she has been serving the late emperor in Yong'an Palace, she is also a person with a lively mind. With a son like Li Yuanxiang, Yang Bin naturally tries to protect her son. The late emperor is not in good health. Well, Concubine Yang knew what her fate was. Once the late emperor passed away, it was very likely that her concubine would be buried. If she was lucky enough not to be on the list of funerals, she would either become a monk or go to fiefdom with her son.
