First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 8

As soon as Fang came to the backyard, a white-haired old lady rushed out to greet him, "Oh, my grandson, come quickly, let me see if the injury is serious?"

As soon as Gao Chong saw the old lady, he immediately felt cordial, and quickly went up to support her, "Grandma, please slow down, don't worry, grandson is fine, and he is in good health."

This old lady is Gao Chong's grandmother, Lu Shi. Hearing Gao Chong's words, the old lady Lu couldn't help but angrily said: "I will teach your father a lesson later, and I even hurt you by taking you on an errand."

At this time, a woman behind also hurried out, and at the same time there was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, who looked extraordinarily agile in a light yellow skirt. When she saw Gao Chong, she excitedly shouted: "Ah!" Brother, brother, are you all right, you are back, I heard that you were injured, my grandma has been worried for a long time."

"My son has met A Niang, I have taught A Niang to worry, and the baby is fine." Gao Chong hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

The elegant woman in front of him is Gao Chong's mother, Xue Shi, and the smart girl is his sister Gao Bing.

"It's fine." Seeing that Gao Chong was fine, Mrs. Xue breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to support Mrs. Lu, "It's windy outside, mother-in-law, let's go back to the house and talk."

After being able to go back to the house, the family members were worried. Gao Chong also deliberately did not bring up the matter of envoy Turks, and only talked about interesting anecdotes.

After these two days, Gao Chong has completely merged, including his feelings for his family and his cognition of this era. No one in his family has noticed anything unusual about Gao Chong, and at this time, Gao Chong is not alone. I don't know whether it is Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly or a butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou, and I don't know whether Gao Chong has the memory of the later life or Gao Chong of the later life accepted the memory of this life.

The next day, the east was bright white, and Gao Chong woke up. After a simple wash, he picked up the double mace hanging by the bed.

This pair of four-legged iron maces was inherited from Duke Gao Jiong of the State of Qi. The maces are about two inches thick and three and a half feet long. I have been strong since I practiced martial arts since I was a child. After the fusion of the two lives, I feel that my arms seem to have inexhaustible strength.

Gao Chong came to the martial arts field in the side courtyard, put the mace into his wrist with the beef tendon string swallowed at the end, held the mace in his hand, with a serious face, and immediately waved it, performing 24 high-level moves such as mid-section, straight split, side lift, and twisting. The home mace method is used one by one, and multiple changes such as jumping, smashing, rolling, picking, poking, and racking are integrated into it.

After stopping, Gao Chong suddenly felt refreshed, and cheers sounded from the side, "Brother, this mace technique has made it even more powerful."

Gao Chong looked, Gao Bing was standing aside with his father, Gao Chong stepped forward to salute, but Gao Junya frowned slightly, "Are you confused?"

Gao Chong hesitated, Gao Junya said: "You have practiced this set of mace skills since you were a child, you have already memorized it by heart, and you can use it freely, but when I saw you practicing just now, you seemed to be quite impatient and even a bit murderous. meaning".

Hearing this, Gao Chong said with a smile: "On the one hand, practicing martial arts is to strengthen the body, but on the other hand, isn't it just to kill people?"

After hearing this, Gao Junya glared, "If you want to pursue bloodthirsty killing, wouldn't the horse lance have more murderous intent? You must know that mace has been a miscellaneous soldier since ancient times, and it is far less popular than swords, guns and swords. On the one hand, maces are difficult to practice and have high requirements for users; on the other hand, maces are actually good weapons.”

Gao Chong was a little confused, but he understood from the front that maces, whips and hammers are heavy weapons that require a lot of strength from the user, but how to explain good weapons?
"The mace doesn't kill with a sharp blade, it can only hit the enemy hard. Therefore, the mace kills without blood, and more is to deter the enemy with the power of a blow, so as to control its heart and control its body. Only with the heart and justice, with the heart Only when righteous people use maces can they have a deterrent effect, and only then can they fight against the changes, retreat and scatter all evil, and rectify themselves.

Therefore, there are often gods in Taoist Buddhist temples who use maces to drive away evil spirits and suppress evil, and your uncle was an upright man all his life, and in the end he was killed unjustly because of this.” Gao Junya’s strict education is straightforward. , in his view, since it is a weapon, it is used to kill people in self-defense, but he did not dare to refute it, so he responded immediately.

Seeing this, Gao Junya frowned, knowing that Gao Chong hadn't listened, and immediately ordered: "From today on, take "Mencius" with you, and carefully understand "Cultivating awe-inspiring righteousness, and a grand view of the world", the sage Those words are enough for us to use for a lifetime."

Gao Chong looked bitter and scratched his head, "Aye, do you understand?".

Gao Junya faltered when she heard the words, "Get lost".

Gao Chong hurriedly resigned, looked left and right, it turned out that his sister had already disappeared, it seemed that he had expected it.

It was not long after breakfast, Li Shimin sent people to report, and hurried to gather, there was no time to say goodbye, Gao Chong hurriedly dressed and went straight to the city gate.

Jinyang ordered Liu Wenjing to collect five carts full of gold and jewelry shells, full of them, but Gao Chong knew that in the Jinyang Palace, Yang Guang collected a huge amount of supplies. The reason why Li Yuan had the capital to revolt was A large part of his confidence comes from the savings in the Jinyang Palace treasury. These five treasures are not worth mentioning.

When he came to the gate of the city, Li Shimin was already waiting here. When he saw Gao Chong leading his entourage on horseback, his eyes lit up.

I saw the person with long eyebrows and bright eyes, his face shining like an ancient moon, wearing a three-pronged crown with hair tied on his head, a silk luan belt tied around his waist, wearing a chain mail with wild goose feathers, and a pair of four-lensed iron maces on his back. When the horse comes, it really has a thousand layers of murderous aura on its head, and a hundred steps in front of it.

"Yuzhi, you are really majestic in this outfit." Li Shimin laughed loudly when he came close.

Gao Chong looked at his clothes and found that there was nothing wrong with it, so he immediately smiled and said, "I can't help it, I'm born heroic and I can't give up on myself."

Hearing this, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed out loud, pointing to Gao Chong and said to the left and right: "This Gao Youzhi is not only good at civil and martial arts, but also good at face. ".

"Little boy", at this time, a young general next to Li Shimin sneered and said disdainfully.

Although the voice was soft, but so close, several people could hear it clearly, Gao Chong narrowed his eyes, Li Shimin hurriedly smoothed things over and said: "Brother Jiang can't speak, don't take it seriously."

"Surnamed Jiang? Are you that Jiang Baoyi? The descendant of Jiang Wei, the great general of the Shu Han?" Gao Chong said coldly, only to see that Jiang Baoyi was carrying a spear. He was tall, with a bronze complexion, cold complexion, and sharp features. People who are not easy to deal with.

"Your father Xiao Zhou Lang is quite a character." Jiang Baoyi looked at Gao Chong, "I just don't know how much you have learned."

"You'll know how good you are if you try it." Gao Chong chuckled lightly. He felt that Jiang Baoyi had no malicious intentions, but simply looked down on him. This kind of person may be called a straight man of steel in later generations That kind of person can piss off a person with his words, and this kind of steel tough guy naturally dislikes a little boy like Gao Chong the most.
