The old kiln head went to buy sand on the kiln near Chang'an, Xia Hongsheng went back to Jingyang's house for a turn, and the steward Tian told Xia Hongsheng about the things at home in the past few days, Xia Hongsheng didn't stay long, and hurried back to Chang'an in the afternoon.

went back to prepare some things, ran to Liu Renshi's house the next day, visited Liu Hongji, and then told Liu Renshi about finding someone, but did not tell Liu Renshi what he was going to do. It is difficult to find people who understand blowing techniques, and Liu Renshi does not dare to guarantee that he can find them, so he only says that he will try his best.

Xia Hongsheng also knows that there are indeed not many people who know how to blow, and they may even be Hu people. So I can only let Liu Renshi try his best.

I was idle for several days in a row, and as long as I didn't have a court meeting, that day was leisurely. Get up one day and go around the barracks to see the training of those special team members, and show your sense of existence as a lieutenant of the folding.

Looking at the trained special forces, and the banner in front of them waving in the wind and writing the four heroic characters of the Datang blade, it was inscribed by Li Laoer himself, as the name of this special forces, to inspire these special combat members.

From afar, seeing Xia Hongsheng coming, Duan Zan greeted him, although now the two of them are at the same level, both of them are the captains, but Duan Zan is still Xia Hongsheng's deputy, and he also sincerely admires Xia Hongsheng, so he still welcomes him from afar.

"Brother Duan, how are those thirty people now as instructors?" Xia Hongsheng asked.

"It's good, after all, they have experienced it first-hand and have achieved so much success, which is more convincing for those new players. In addition, the name of Datang Blade has been created, many people want to come in, and those who are finally selected, everyone cherishes this opportunity, trains very hard, and studies very hard. Duan Zan nodded, showing a very relieved face, and said to Xia Hongsheng: "All this." I couldn't dream of my brother before, but now that my brother is at home, I have the confidence to speak, and my father has a lot of appreciation for Zhan. Get outside. Speaking of Datang Blade, even if it is a level, it is respectful in front of you, just like treating Shangguan, hahahaha%......"

Xia Hongsheng also smiled. quipped: "Brother Duan is the son of General Duan, doesn't he have the confidence to go anywhere?" Who can not treat Shangguan the same as if he saw it! ”

Duan Zan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Don't make it up as a brother, don't you know, that's someone else's face looking at his father, and it has something to do with Zhan?" But this time it's different, this time this face is earned by Zhan himself, this is the confidence! Hongsheng, thanks to you! ”

"You and my brother, why do you need to do this?" Xia Hongsheng waved his hand: "By the way, some time ago." Are the people I asked to find all the people I was looking for? Did the one hundred and eight soldiers start? ”

"This ......" Hearing Xia Hongsheng ask, Duan Zhan's face showed a touch of shame, sighed, and said: "I looked for several gentlemen, and I heard that I was asked to teach in the barracks, so I refused. I said that I didn't need to teach the scriptures, just let people learn to read, but no one wanted to come, and said that it was useless for soldiers to be literate. No way. I had no choice but to go to Shizun, but I was scolded by Shizun, saying that it was insulting Sven, alas, ......"

Insulting Sven?

Xia Hongsheng's brows furrowed.

What does it mean to be insulting? Full of sages. But they do despicable things, they are of no use to the country and the people, they will only chirp around and criticize the people and things that are beneficial to the country and the people. These soldiers defended their families and the country, maintained the safety of the Tang Dynasty, and taught them to read a few words. What's so insulting to Sven?! Those who say these words should throw them all in front of the battle at the next Turkic knock and see how they sven!

Xia Hongsheng snorted coldly and said, "Not coming?" Let them come because I can afford them, if I didn't think that there are many people, how could I have needed their little impractical sour knowledge! If you don't come, sooner or later, I'll make them regret it. It's just teaching, the last thing I'm afraid of in the whole world is this business, if they don't come, I'll teach it myself! ”

"Teach it yourself?!" Duan Zan was taken aback.

"Not bad." Xia Hongsheng nodded: "And ask me to go back and prepare a set of teaching materials, come up with an outline and submit it, I not only want to teach them to read, but also teach them what war is, how to war, why war, I want to teach them to become a new generation of Tang soldiers!" A real soldier, not a soldier with a scornful name! ”

Duan Zan looked at Xia Hongsheng, and saw that Xia Hongsheng's eyes were full of determination, although he didn't know what Xia Hongsheng was going to do, but he was infected by Xia Hongsheng, and nodded vigorously, and said: "Yes, they don't teach, let's teach ourselves!" I'm here to teach them to read! ”

After Xia Hongsheng left the barracks, he didn't go anywhere, so he walked straight to the palace.

During Li Xiaochang's rebellion, Li Shimin gave Xia Hongsheng the right to enter the palace directly without notification, and now although Li Xiaochang has been pacified, this right has not been taken back. Xia Hongsheng entered the imperial city, and when he arrived outside the Taiji Palace, an attendant greeted him and told him that Li Shimin was in the main hall of the East Palace, and then took Xia Hongsheng to the main hall of the East Palace. When he arrived outside the door of the Lizheng Palace, he went in from the inner servant to make a report, but when he came out, he said that Xia Hongsheng should wait for a while.

After waiting for a cup of tea, he saw Li Lao Er coming out of the Lizheng Hall by himself, Xia Hongsheng was stunned for a moment, and hurried over to pay a visit.

"No courtesy. Follow me to the study. Li Shimin came out and said a word to Xia Hongsheng, looking at Li Shimin's face, Xia Hongsheng secretly said that it was not the right time to come, Li Lao Er seemed to be in a bad mood at this time.

Xia Hongsheng followed Li Lao Er to the imperial study, and after Li Shimin sat down, he snorted coldly and asked Xia Hongsheng: "Xia Qing came at the right time." I ask you, the eldest grandson Anye wants to rebel and deserves it, but now someone is pleading for me on his behalf! Tell me, what kind of system is this! ”

As he spoke, he said "Smack!" on the table. "A hard beat.

Xia Hongsheng was stunned for a moment, and pleaded for the eldest grandson Anye? Who is so lacking in heart!

But then there was a sudden movement in my heart, there are not many people in this court who have anything to do with the eldest grandson Anye, and the ones who can speak in front of the emperor are the eldest grandson Empress and the eldest grandson Wuji. The eldest grandson Anye treated them like that before, and with the eldest grandson Wuji, he categorically wished that he could be cut off. Then the only person who pleads for mercy is the eldest grandson queen.

Hey, that's a ...... After the eldest grandson Anye inherited the family business, he drove the younger eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson queen out of the house, thanks to Gao Shilian's upbringing, the two did not live on the streets. Now that the eldest grandson queen is still pleading for the eldest grandson Anye?

"This ...... On the one hand, the eldest grandson Anye's attempt to rebel is clear and clear, this is a fact, it is a certainty, and it should be cut according to the law! Xia Hongsheng thought for a while and said: "On the other hand, the eldest grandson Anye has no ink on his chest, he only knows how to drink, he must have been instigated by others, so he remembered that this one is being used by others, not the mastermind, and this situation also exists." However, what to do in the end depends on Your Majesty. However, Weichen thinks that the law is the law, and breaking the law is breaking the law. ”

"Alas! That eldest grandson Anye treats you like this, but you are still so ......" Li Lao Er lowered his head and sighed faintly, and said half a sentence, when his eyes suddenly narrowed, he raised his head suddenly, and a pair of eagle eyes skimmed towards Xia Hongsheng.

"Uh, Your Majesty forgives me, just now Weichen thought about things and got distracted, what did you just say?" Xia Hongsheng hurriedly pretended not to hear and bowed down and asked.

"Count you as acquaintances!" Li Shimin didn't understand what Xia Hongsheng meant, snorted coldly, and said, "Say, what are you doing again?" If you don't come to me, I'll be looking for you in a few days! ”

"Huh?!" Xia Hongsheng was taken aback, please, where did I provoke you again?!

Li Shimin squinted his eyes and glanced at Xia Hongsheng, and said in a sour tone: "I heard Wang De say that when he went to pick up the painting that I had framed, he saw that Princess Changle also went to frame it. That painting, but it's the same as your Xia Hongsheng's painting technique? ”

"Well, this ......" The sweat on Xia Hongsheng's head suddenly fell: "This, ah, that day Brother Qixian went to Weichen with his sister, and Weichen drew a picture for them." You also know that the best thing about Her Royal Highness the Princess in the Hongwen Pavilion is that Xu Hui, Xu Hui showed it to Her Royal Highness the Princess, and Her Royal Highness the Princess was more curious about that technique, so she came to the minister, and the minister demonstrated it to Her Royal Highness......"

But seeing Li Shimin's eyebrows, a smile appeared on his face, but how he looked at it was dangerous, he whispered to Xia Hongsheng: "Oh? What's the matter, there is still a Xu Hui? By the way, I heard that in Luoyang, Xia Qing had an affair with an Oiran, what is it called? Moon Immortal? Oh, I can't imagine that Xia Qing is young, but she is also a celebrity and a meritorious? ”

Xia Hongsheng almost burst out with a foul language, can you consider the words? What do you mean by "having an affair"?! What did I dye?! - But on the surface, he didn't dare to show anything, so he hurriedly flattered and said: "Wechen doesn't dare, Wechen is still young......"

"Don't mess with me here! I warn you that my daughter is still young, and no one should think of anything wrong with my daughter! Li Lao Er was like a tiger about to open its fangs, staring at Xia Hongsheng tightly with his eyes, and said word by word.

"Well, Wechen didn't ......" Xia Hongsheng hurriedly replied: "Yes, Wechen knows!" ”

Li Shimin nodded, leaned back, and in a blink of an eye, the clouds were light, and he asked softly, "Okay, what are you doing today?" ”

Xia Hongsheng sighed in his heart: "Wei Chen came here this time because he wanted to ask His Majesty for two things!" ”

"What's the matter? Speak. Li Lao Er nodded and said.

"First, Weichen has a business here, and I want to ask His Majesty to do it together. Second, the minister is the commander of the Chong Commander, with 800 soldiers under his command, and the minister wants to ask His Majesty to give the minister full authority and implement officer education for him. Xia Hongsheng took a deep breath and said.

Li Shimin didn't reply for a long time, and after a long time, he said expressionlessly: "Give me an explanation that satisfies me, otherwise, with these two sentences, I can reduce you to a lower official and a commoner!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xia Hongsheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "Weichen will explain the intention for His Majesty." (To be continued.) )
