The general trend has gone, and Li Jiancheng and the leaders of the party in various parts of the country have all been captured, except for those who resisted and were killed. Several palace maids and eunuchs in the palace hanged themselves, and several courtiers in the court also hanged themselves at home.

In the suppression of the chaotic party, all those who contributed to it were rewarded or rewarded by Li Shimin, and it can be regarded as a situation of more than a year of hard work in vain.

"Hehe, congratulations Xiahou!"

"Congratulations Xiahou!"

The court meeting dispersed, and after walking outside the Taiji Palace, the courtiers came to say hello to Xia Hongsheng. Xia Hongsheng also knew that he couldn't lose his politeness by smiling and bowing his hand back.

The title has not changed, but he has rewarded a lot of land wealth, and at the same time, Xia Hongsheng's position in the army has also been promoted.

didn't take many steps away, Wang De chased after him from behind, stopped Xia Hongsheng, and asked him to go to Hanyuan Palace.

When he got there, Li Shimin was the only one, Xia Hongsheng went over to meet him, and then stood down.

"Are you satisfied with the reward I gave you today?" Li Shimin smiled and put down the music in his hand and asked.

"Your Majesty's grace, Weichen is grateful!" Xia Hongsheng bowed and replied.

But Li Shimin opened his mouth and sighed: "Jingshi, with the merits you have made, the merits you have made, and even the things you have taught to the military aircraft workshop, it is enough to get a much higher reward than now." It's just that I'm worried that you're not old after all, so I don't dare to reward you with a big reward. Even so. Now you are being talked about a lot. I want you to know. I'm not the one you treat like an ordinary courtier. Instead, look at you as the offspring of a nephew. After that, I have already planned for you, and I will definitely not treat you badly, and you will know when the time comes. Now it seems that the reward I have given you is not as good as the credit you have brought to the court, it is not that I am stingy, but even if I know your ability and the minister knows your ability, there are still more people who don't know. The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, you must know that the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, what you owe today, I will make up for you in the future. ”

"Where did Your Majesty speak!" Xia Hongsheng gave a long salute and said: "Since Hongsheng walked into the court, His Majesty has full trust in the ministers, and sometimes even Weichen himself is surprised, surprised why His Majesty would trust a young man who is full of nonsense, general words, and paper talk in the eyes of others. His Majesty trusts Weichen so much, and Weichen naturally has to be worthy of this trust. Your Majesty treats me like a national soldier. Naturally, I should repay him with a national soldier. Your Majesty, at the beginning, Weichen was held hostage by the leader of the chaotic party and thieves to Qizhou. The thief wanted Weichen to do things for him, and Weichen said a word, saying that the so-called gentleman's friendship is as light as water, and the villain's friendship is as sweet as honey. One is a gentleman, the other is a villain, when a gentleman sees me, he naturally sees it as a gentleman, and when a villain sees me, he naturally sees it as a villain. Confucius once said that he repaid virtue with virtue and repaid grievances with straightforwardness. Hehe, it is said that the ministers are a little arrogant, and between His Majesty and the ministers, they privately think that they are gentlemen's friends. Your Majesty has a lot of responsibility for me, so I have to be worthy of this trust, which has nothing to do with fame and fortune or rewards. Besides, if these things done by the minister can make Datang better, the minister will feel happy in his heart, and this happy mood is the harvest that the minister wants, and it has nothing to do with fame and fortune or rewards. Besides, Weichen usually makes some small mistakes because he doesn't understand the rules, and there are many people who impeach Weichen, His Majesty always turns a blind eye and lets go of Weichen, these Weichen know, where do you dare to think that Your Majesty's last time was less! Your Majesty, this is for the good of Weichen, and Weichen won't even be unable to understand this. ”

Li Shimin nodded, and then asked, "A few days ago, I heard from Cheng Qian that you made something that can burn in water, but what kind of Greek fire did you tell me about at the beginning?" ”

"At that time, Wechen said that Greek fire was just a simple and crude use of that kind of thing, and what Wechen made was more powerful than Greek fire." Xia Hongsheng nodded and said: "At the beginning, because I wanted to hide the chaos of the party, I couldn't show up, so I only did an experiment in secret, and now that the chaos of the party is over, you can hand over this method to the military aircraft workshop to make, Your Majesty can choose a day to see it in person, and Weichen will demonstrate this thing for Your Majesty." ”

"Good!" Li Shimin nodded and said with a smile: "I also want to see what kind of fire it is, it is not afraid of water, but it can still be boiled in water." ”

"Yes, then Weichen will hurry up and make some more." Xia Hongsheng bowed and said.

Li Shimin nodded, and said: "Now that the chaos of the party is basically over, it only needs to be destroyed in various places immediately. Next, it's Turkic. Let the spies turn their focus to the Turks, and pay more attention to the thief leader in the Turks, so that she can escape. ”

After Xia Hongsheng received the order, he retired.

Leaving the palace, he came out to the Suzaku Gate, and saw his own carriage parked there waiting, Qi Yong, who came back from Xu's house, drove the carriage, picked up Xia Hongsheng, and went straight to the outside of Chang'an City under the instruction of Xia Hongsheng.

I didn't go out for two months by pretending to be dead at home, the enrollment work of the military school has long been over, calculate the time, now is the time for recruit training, and there is still a month to go, and the recruit training will be over.

At the beginning of the middle, Ma Zhou came a few times, but later in order to pretend to be like, he didn't let Ma Zhou come again. Although he knew that the military academy had already been well prepared, and Ma Zhou and the others were already experienced, they would definitely be able to manage the operation of the military academy, but in the end, they were still worried and eager to go over and see for themselves.

In the past few days, he has been dealing with the aftermath of the chaotic party, and today's court meeting Li Shimin's punishment and reward have been completed, for Xia Hongsheng, the chaotic party has been completely over, so as soon as he left the palace, he immediately rushed to the military academy.

When he arrived at the military academy, Xia Hongsheng got out of the carriage in front of the door, and saw the people standing guard on both sides of the military academy gate, and was about to go in, but was stopped by those two people, and said to Xia Hongsheng: "This son, the military academy is an important place, and non-military academy personnel are not allowed to enter at will, so please go." ”

As soon as I heard this, I knew that these two people were new students. It appears that the proposal to involve new trainees in some simple school administration tasks has been adopted. This is good, so that the cadets can increase their sense of ownership and identification with the military school.

"And if I want to go in, what should I do?" Xia Hongsheng asked with a smile.

"If the prince has a decree from His Majesty or the lords of the military academy, he can enter." The two students patiently explained, resolutely not letting Xia Hongsheng enter, but did not drive him away rudely.

"Lady Yuansho!" At this time, a person passed by from behind, saw Xia Hongsheng, immediately shouted, hurriedly ran over, and said to the two students: "Why did you stop Master Yuanzheng!" ”

The two students were dumbfounded and looked at Xia Hongsheng in a daze.

"Don't apologize to Master Yuanzheng yet!" The old student was dumbfounded when he saw the two new students, so he quickly dragged them and said.

Xia Hongsheng shook his head, stopped the two people who were about to apologize, and said, "No, you did a very good job." You are new students, and you should not know me. As for the military academy, no outsiders are allowed to enter the military academy without a warrant from His Majesty or a few stewards. You're doing the right thing! ”

Xia Hongsheng asked the two to continue, and he took Qi Yong into the military academy together, first went over to meet Li Jing and Niu Jinda, and then went out to Ma Zhou's office to find Ma Zhou.

"Two days ago, I heard that the rebellious party was suppressed, and Zhou knew that Brother Xia was about to return. Why, everything about the chaos of the party has been dealt with? After the two sat down, Ma Zhou asked with a smile.

Xia Hongsheng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Don't mention it, I've been suffocating at home for two months, and I'm about to suffocate people." ”

"Don't worry, there are three people in the military academy, including General Li, General Niu and General Duan, and even if some of those students are unwilling to follow the rules at the beginning, they can't jump. Don't you know, at the beginning, after those new students learned the school rules, after learning that the school did not do violent corporal punishment, it was like turning the sky upside down, and there were no people in the confinement room in those days, and some of the sons and daughters of the nobles formed gangs and fights, and they were also mercilessly thrown into the confinement room by General Duan. After three days of confinement, it is called a mourning test! Hahahaha...... In less than a month, it's all honest. Ma Zhou laughed as he spoke, remembering how those unruly people had just come out of the confinement room after being locked up for a few days.

The confinement room in the military academy is a small black room, the area is very small, standing up and standing up straight, lying down and stretching legs, no one speaks all day long, even if the food is delivered, the door is not opened, only open the square hole in the door and leave inside. Inside the little dark room, there was a small candle the length of a little finger. After a few days, the taste was definitely unpleasant.

Xia Hongsheng nodded with a smile, and asked again, "How is the recruit training going?" ”

"During the three months of recruit training, physical training is carried out during the day, and at night they are learning literacy, as well as ideological and political classes, and other courses have not been opened. Ma Zhou said to Xia Hongsheng: "Don't worry, the generals didn't embarrass us, everything went according to our original plan." ”

"How many people do you have to eliminate after the recruit training?" Xia Hongsheng asked again: "Did you tell them beforehand?" ”

Ma Zhou replied: "According to our current number, we have to eliminate a hundred recruits after training. It was already stated before the start of the training that after March, there would be a test for new trainees, and the last 100 would be eliminated and would have to wait until next year's enrollment to take the test. ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded, everything in the military academy was regular, which made Xia Hongsheng finally feel relieved. (To be continued.) )
