Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 433 Martial Arts (1)

In the sauna room, Li Yuan was sitting, and Xu Qing started to practice the set of health-preserving exercises that Feng Li had given him. Li Yuan suddenly said something was wrong, but Xu Qing didn't stop.Li Yuan didn't care about it and said to himself: "A few days ago, the martial arts agreed by the imperial court was reported from all over the country, and the preparations were good. Some nearby places have already selected tributes to Beijing."

Xu Qing's health-preserving exercises were performed very slowly, but seeing the horse stance, it was much more stable than the days when he first learned it.I saw Xu Qing hesitating, changing his body shape, coupled with the high temperature in the sauna room, he was sweating profusely after a while.Seeing that he didn't answer, Li Yuan said, "As one of the chief examiners, don't you have any ideas?"

Xu Qing let out a long breath and said, "Your Majesty, I want to hear what other people think."

"You have too many things to do," Li Yuan scolded with a smile, "I haven't asked anyone else about this matter, so you can tell me what you think first."

Xu Qing worked hard, thought for a while and said: "As the saying goes, it is easy to get a thousand soldiers, but it is hard to find a general. This martial arts should focus on martial arts, not martial arts. Of course, martial arts are also important. You can't select a bunch of people who will only talk about it on paper. You are a boastful person. Your Majesty, what is lacking in today's court is not being able to lead cavalry, so martial arts should focus on horses and bows. Others can be selected appropriately. The generals selected should also be based on their virtues. Try to do as much as possible Both ability and integrity."

Speaking of this, Xu Qing sighed and said: "It's a pity, this Xue Rengui is still too young. If this martial arts event is held in 20 years, he will definitely win the championship."

Li Yuan is also a talented person. Hearing that Xu Qing praised him so much, he couldn't help asking: "The Xue Rengui you are talking about is the young gang leader you brought with you when you went to Yingzhou?"

Xu Qing nodded and said: "That young man will at least be a figure like Huo Qubing in the future. His ancestor was the King of Hedong in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and it was only in his generation that he fell into obscurity."

Li Yuan said regretfully: "It's a pity, ah, Xu Qing, someday you will show him to me, so I will pay attention to this late general."

"Huh..." Xu Qing finished a whole set of health-preserving skills, and said to Li Yuan with a long breath: "When I came back from Yingzhou, I had already sent him to General Li Jing, this piece of rough jade can only be polished by General Li it is good."

Li Yuan's eyes flashed, he sized up Xu Qing and said, "I never thought that you can still have this ability. It's not bad. I didn't miss you when I chose you as the chief examiner. I understand what you just said, but the details The way of doing it is another set of things, you can talk about it later.”

"呲呲..."

A mist rose, it was Xu Qing pouring some water on the stone.Xu Qing replied: "It depends on the selected person, how does the emperor plan to use it?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Naturally, he should be appointed as an official of the team leader, let him accumulate merits step by step, and gradually become a general. Or, send him to the general's side as a bodyguard, and then be promoted to the gatekeeper, partial Will, rise step by step."

Xu Qing nodded and said, "That's right, that's what I think. Since that's the case, when the emperor selects talents, he needs to consider their overall quality."

"What is comprehensive quality?"

"For a good general to grow, he must have enough military life. If he wants to live, doesn't he have to have life? The comprehensive quality I said is to ensure the growth of soldiers, such as combat ability, latent ability, etc., only these abilities Only a small leader can lead his soldiers well, build meritorious service, and grow himself up." Xu Qing talked eloquently: "Your Majesty, I suggest that the selection of generals this time does not necessarily have to be from the common people. The selection can also be directly selected among the ranks. In this way, soldiers who have undergone training and the test of blood and fire have a better chance of becoming generals. In short, I think that it is necessary to consider that a person's various abilities should not be too weak, and that You can’t seek balance in everything, but it leads to the selection of mediocre people.”

Li Yuan thought for a while, but stopped talking.Seeing him now, the clothes on his back are all wet, so he said to Xu Qing: "Well, I can rest assured that you are in good health. Tomorrow, you will get the value of Xuanwu, and your wives will be here Find a house in the city."

Seeing that Li Yuan was leaving, Xu Qing immediately knelt down and said, "I thank the emperor Long En, but I and my wife and children are used to living here, anyway, it's not far from Chang'an City, so it's troublesome to move around. Don't go to Chang'an City."

"It's okay, it's okay, just do as you like."

"I respectfully send you off to the emperor!"

Li Yuan led a group of cavalrymen who were full of vigor and vigor, and disappeared without a trace in a cloud of flying dust.After a while, Huang Shimei and the others came back with them, and Xu Qing went to make dinner.Xiaoyue drank a bowl of medicine, couldn't eat, and went to bed early, but she looked much better.

Early the next morning, Xu Qing saw that Xiaoyue's health had really improved a lot, so she felt relieved to return to Chang'an City.

It is impossible to arrive on time for work, and it is impossible to arrive on time in this life.Anyway, old man Li Yuan didn't say clearly what time he was going to be on duty today, the young master was shopping in Chang'an City, and he didn't go to that place where the birds don't shit.

After staying in Shantianzhuang for a long time, when he suddenly walked to the bustling streets of Chang'an, Xu Qing also felt a new level of comfort.Look here, walk there, eat some bad snacks, buy some very ordinary items, turn around the corner, and give it to that random person.

If there were any disputes among the people, whether it was someone bullying the weak or officials Wuhou oppressing the people, Xu Qing didn't care and walked around the road.Of course Fangzheng came to visit these matters, Fangzheng couldn't take care of them, and there was Sifang Captain above, and Chang'an Mansion took care of them.Furthermore, poor people must have something to hate, and all walks of life have their own rules, regardless of whether they are bad rules or not, in short, wherever he is, if he regulates that industry, his existence is reasonable.Xu Qing acted rashly, not only not necessarily to uphold justice, but also to offend a group of people and break the rules of an industry.The loss outweighs the gains for B, Xu Qing does not pretend.

Before he knew it, Xu Qing walked to a workshop with many inns. If there were many inns, there must be many outsiders. The Marquis Wu who was patrolling the streets in this place was actually a soldier in solid clothes.Xu Qing is surprised, do you need to be so nervous?

Randomly looking for a restaurant with luxurious decoration, Xu Qing chose a good seat, sat down with peace of mind, and watched people come and go.In fact, the Fuli Building in Xu Qing's family is a pure restaurant. Other restaurants are basically similar to inns. The restaurant provides ordinary inns, and other simple inns only provide white boiled noodles.

"Ahem, this store is not bad, shall we stay here?"

"Here, it looks expensive here, why don't we go somewhere else?"

"It's cheap, this place can cook, live in those small inns, I didn't save a few before meals, and I still have to go out to eat. Besides, this martial arts is about to be held, and if we get fame, we will be rich and prosperous, I didn’t get fame, and I didn’t have the ability to go back, so why save money?”
