Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 270 Choice

Chen Qingsi had some impression of Han Sizhong.

The main reason is that this person is one of the few famous generals in the Wuzhou Dynasty.

In history, because Wu Zetian usurped the Tang Dynasty, in order to secure the throne, he liquidated the generals who held military power in all directions and made the enemies frightened one by one, resulting in a mess in the foreign war.

However, China's military heritage still existed, and some generals who were barely capable of fighting emerged in the Wu Zhou Dynasty.

Among them, Han Sizhong was one of them. He defeated Shi Zhihan in the Western Regions, annihilated Huluwu Palace, captured Tubo Ni Shumu Si City, defeated Tubo Wan Ni Xun in Wu Tuo City, and stabilized the four towns of Anxi.

Although Han Sizhong was defeated by the Later Turks and died on the battlefield in the end, Han Sizhong was already regarded as a rare general in the Wuzhou period when martial virtue was not very abundant.

This is also the reason why Chen Qingsi remembers this person. On the one hand, his name is too similar to that of Pohan Wuhan Shizhong, and on the other hand, he is one of the few cards he can use.

"There is such a wonderful man, but I wonder if I will be lucky enough to meet him and see how majestic he is on the court!"

Chen Qingsi pretended to be interested.

Helan Minzhi was happy to express himself in front of his idol and said without hesitation: "What's so difficult about this? Just call him here..."

He waved for a soldier.

Chen Qingsi frowned slightly and asked, "His Royal Highness, may I be summoned?"

Helan Minzhi stopped talking after hearing this.

Li Hong was still very talkative: "Mr. Chen wants to see you, just ask him to come."

He continued to look at the court, not caring about He Lan Minzhi's prestige.

Not long after, a young principal strode over.

He is very young, he looks to be in his early twenties, wearing cyan armor, and is actually a four-color officer.

The so-called four-color officers refer to the ones who are in charge of the rank, the middle marquis, the chief minister, and the halberd-bearing officer. To put it bluntly, they are the ones who stand guard.

"I have met His Royal Highness, Mr. Helan!"

Han Sizhong bowed and saluted.

Li Hong did not dislike Han Sizhong's identity, and also responded with a salute: "Han Sige, no courtesy. This is the newly appointed crown prince Yude, just call him Mr. Chen!"

Han Sizhong said: "Hello, Mr. Chen!"

Chen Qingsi responded with a hint of surprise in his eyes. The four-color officials were also divided into different levels.

Si rank, Zhonghou, Si Ge, and Zhiji respectively correspond to the four official ranks from the sixth rank up, down from the seventh rank, down from the eighth rank, and down from the ninth rank.

Among them, Si Jie is the guard on guard in the main hall of the East Palace, Zhonghou is the guard of Zhan Shifu, Menxiafang, and Dian Shufang. Si Ge and Zhiji are the lowest, and the guards of the palace gate.

He thought that the most powerful Han Sizhong would be someone above the level of joining the army, but he didn't expect that it would be Si Ge...

So, are you still in a state of underappreciating your talents?

Chen Qingsi was a little moved.

Helan Minzhi said: "Han Sige, Mr. Chen also loves polo. I heard that your skills are unparalleled. Why don't you show it off? If Mr. Chen praises you, I will give you a big reward."

Han Sizhong pursed his lips and said, "Yes!"

Chen Qingsi heard the hint of helplessness and humiliation in his words, and said: "Han Sige is not in a hurry..."

He said to Li Hong: "Your Highness, your Majesty, I watched the football match earlier and didn't understand something. You might as well ask Han Sige to stay and clarify your doubts. As for appreciating Han Sige's skills, there will be a great opportunity in the future, so don't rush for a while. Besides, The strong men on the field were having a great time, so substituting them was unnecessary."

Li Hong couldn't help but nodded and said, "Mr. Chen is very considerate, so just listen to Mr. Chen's advice." Li Hong, as always, followed the good deeds.

Han Sizhong was a little complicated for a moment, compared to other soldiers who were only seeking wealth.

Because of his outstanding ability and ambition, Han Sizhong was unwilling to become a chess toy in the games of a noble young man like He Lan Minzhi, but He Lan Minzhi gave him too much, and he was a little reluctant to part with it.

I was on duty today and was called here to perform for Mr. Chen who appeared out of nowhere. I felt humiliated.

But when Mr. Chen saved his own face with his words, he felt a little hurt.

Chen Qingsi didn't really know much about polo, so there was a master beside him who asked some questions.

Han Sizhong answered one by one.

Chen Qingsi knew only a little about polo, but at this time he gained a comprehensive understanding.

Chen Qingsi was very talkative. At first she was talking about polo, but soon she talked about things other than polo.

For example, where did Han Sizhong learn polo skills? He also wants to learn.

Han Sizhong was a rough guy and didn't have much thought. He answered 1511: "I don't have any apprenticeship. I just raised horses for nobles at the racecourse and learned riding skills. He joined the army through Zhechong Mansion. Because of his performance With outstanding performance, he was incorporated into the Ten-rate Mansion and became a soldier of the Mansion."

He originally wanted to fight for fame on the battlefield, but unexpectedly entered the Shili Mansion. Although he made a lot of money, his future was bleak, and there was inevitably a trace of sadness in his words.

Chen Qingsi nodded silently, thinking that she could give him a hand when the relationship got better.

Han Sizhong also knew from his words that the "Mr. Chen" in front of him turned out to be the famous Chen Qingsi. A trace of desire flashed in his eyes, and there was a hint of flattery in his tone.

This is the benefit that the trip to Mobei brought to Chen Qingsi.

Although Chen Qingsi did not serve in the military, he already had military merit.

People with military merit were very popular in the martial Tang Dynasty.

He might have been sent out to fight at any time. Han Sizhong was from a bad background and could not enter the general's eyes. Chen Qingsi's unexpected appearance was of course like a life-saving straw.

Chen Qingsi did not stay at the Zuigeng Temple for long. After watching the football match in front of him, he met with the officials from the left and right guards, the left and right Siyu, the left and right Qingdao, the left and right gates, and the left and right Nei. , deputy leader, urged Li Hong to go to school to study.

He Lanmin, one of the students who went to the school, resisted instinctively and said: "Mr. Chen, you might as well watch another football match and gather all the good players from the East Palace together to make it more exciting than this one."

Chen Qingsi paused and looked at He Lan Minzhi quietly.

Helan Minzhi lowered his head with some guilt.

Chen Qingsi said: "Changzhu, if you call me sir, I will rely on you for once. When the prince is young, it is the time to absorb knowledge. Don't be too tight, let alone loose. When you should study, study, when you should play, I don't Will interfere. If you think it is reasonable, you should accompany the prince to study hard. If you can't even do this, I will propose to your majesty to change the prince to a reading companion."

He Lan Minzhi's handsome face lost all color in an instant.

Li Hong was very anxious when he heard this and said: "Mr. Chen, Min's brother has not delayed Gu's studies."

Chen Qingsi said: "But a permanent resident is not a qualified reading companion, right?"

Li Hong didn't know how to answer, but he was so anxious that tears rolled down his face.

Chen Qingsi looked at He Lan Minzhi, who had tears in his eyes and was about to cry, and said, "It is not an easy thing to be my student."
