Chapter 836: Martial Arts Selection
The Qingcicada Martial Academy, led by the emperor, naturally didn't care about the powerful position of other people. Because the empire wants to raise an army, to fight, and to settle the exiles......
Li Chengyu, who uses money everywhere, naturally does not have much money allocated to the Martial Academy, so for the Martial Academy, the most important thing is who the Martial Academy's funds fall on.
Not that anyone can use it as a fund for the Martial Academy as long as they have money, as a training place for the imperial soldiers, the Martial Academy is naturally the object of attention of the emperor's huge monitoring system, and if you want to invest money in the Martial Academy, layers of censorship are naturally indispensable.
Marquis Wei, who was rich enough to rival the country and was deeply trusted by the emperor, was naturally an important source of funding for the martial arts academy and the academy, as was the Pin Tingju of Li Yuehua, the king of Yun.
In addition to these two places, the Wu family, the Sun family and other big families in Jiangnan, Zhang Ruoshui in Chudi, that is, Zhang Guifei's elder brother, are also the money bags of the martial arts academy and the academy.
The recruitment of apprentices of the Qingcicada Martial Academy is not the first year, this year is the third year of Tianhe, and the recruitment of the Qingcicada Martial Academy has already been held for three sessions.
It's just that Wei Youqing knows that Li Taoyao doesn't like to watch it because the Qingcian Martial Academy is an important reform of Li Chengyu's dynasty, so he has never met him.
Li Taoyao naturally knew what Wei Youqing meant, and never said it, but now seeing that Wei Youqing took the initiative to mention this matter, he knew that it was not as simple as letting himself be distracted, so he asked suspiciously: "Is there any special person in it?" ”
Wei Youqing smiled and said, "Where are there any special people?" It's just that His Majesty specifically mentioned this year's selection of martial artists, and the chief of the Qingcicada Martial Academy also asked me to take a look. Come with me, I've heard that a lot of ladies will go, so you can help me deal with it." ”
When Li Taoyao heard the word "noblewoman", she couldn't help but sneer in her heart. The eldest princesses of the royal family naturally didn't want to join in the fun.
The Zhao family has been wiped out, and most of the former big clans and high-ranking officials in Beijing are pro-Zhao. Now that the killed are killed, the degraded are degraded, where are there any noblewomen in the capital? The left is just a nouveau riche who followed Li Chengyu's new promotion in Jiangnan and Chu.
It's just that Li Taoyao understands that he can't say this to Wei Youqing, otherwise things will hurt him, and Wei Youqing will definitely label himself as "eating inside and out".
Li Taoyao patted Wei Youqing's face with a smile and teased: "Lady! The husband is so heroic and chic, it's just right to deal with it. On a hot day, I won't get out of the way, so that they don't look at me well. ”
Wei Youqing saw Li Taoyao smiling happily, and laughed with himself like this, his mood was also relaxed, and he raised his eyebrows and laughed with the same frivolous eyebrows: "Then do you know why those noble ladies go to see the selection of martial artists that they don't understand at all?" ”
Li Taoyao didn't know why Wei Youqing asked such a boring question so seriously, and dealt absentmindedly: "What can they do?" Go show off your clothes and have fun. I'm too lazy to do these things. ”
Wei Youqing smiled slowly: "Yes, of course they have to dress up beautifully...... The people who came to participate in the selection of martial artists were all young people who were green and onion-like, and they were comfortable to look at. Madame doesn't want to go and see it? ”
Li Taoyao pursed her lips with a sneer, knowing that the person in front of her deliberately said this, but she just wanted to hear herself say something he liked to hear, such as just looking at him alone. She didn't want him to get his wish, so she deliberately made a curious and yearning look, and said:
"What you're saying is, why didn't I think of it before? Martial arts academy recruits, did I miss a lot of lively watching? ”
Wei Youqing was stunned for a moment, and there was a slight displeasure in his heart. He glanced at Li Taoyao, but unexpectedly met Li Taoyao's smiling face.
Wei Youqing was happy in her heart, knowing that Li Taoyao was deliberately teasing herself, she pretended not to see it, and said seriously: "What Madam said is that of course there is a lot of excitement to see in the recruitment of apprentices in the martial arts academy. This is a major matter that Your Majesty cares about, and if Madame does not accompany me, I am afraid that I will be gossiped about. ”
Li Taoyao found a reason why she had to go, and she really dressed up seriously as Wei Youqing said. She changed into a light blue gauze skirt, draped in a transparent gauze of the same color, wore her hair in a simple bun, and inserted a blue hairpin at random.
Li Taoyao shook her body in front of the mirror, the two orchids on her ears shook playfully, her lips were red and her teeth were white, her eyes seemed to be full of brilliance, her cheeks were slightly pear-ed, her complexion was crystal clear, and her eyebrows were full of nobility and pride.
Li Taoyao was very satisfied with her dress, and she winked at herself proudly. Wei Youqing hadn't seen Li Taoyao so bright and moving for a long time, thinking that Li Taoyao was dressed up like this to watch the competition of the Qingcia Martial Arts Academy, and there was a slight sour feeling in his heart.
Wei Youqing walked in front of Li Taoyao and blocked the beauty in the mirror. His lips were imprinted on Li Taoyao's lips, and he felt that the appearance of the flowers in his mind seemed to be blurred a little, even if the shadow that still existed, it seemed to be like yesterday's yellow flower, and it could no longer make ripples.
Wei Youqing took Li Taoyao's hand, and the two of them, surrounded by many heroic guards and beautiful girls, got into the carriage together and came to the Qingcian Martial Arts Academy.
In the center of the inner city in the Qingcia Martial Arts Courtyard, a platform has been set up for this year's lively martial arts selection, and above the slope of the platform are gorgeous tents separated one by one.
The curtain of the tent in the center hangs low, and through the curtain, you can vaguely see the golden splendor of the coiling dragon seat. This tent is empty, and His Majesty the Emperor will not appear in the competition ground. He will only meet these martial artists in Da'an Palace after the top three are selected.
Probably because the hour was still early, although it was already the last day of the martial arts competition, not many people from the royal family came. Many of those ornate tents are empty, and only a few tents are sitting in a few quiet or looking left and right royal relatives, among which the princess of Fenxi and the prince of Assise are the most eye-catching.
As a representative of the army, Prince Asise's martial arts competition is naturally of particular concern to him. At this time, he was looking around, looking at the young talents from all over the world who came to take the exam, and from time to time he nodded or shook his head to say something to Princess Fenxi beside him.
There were a lot of young teenagers in strong suits gathered in the square, and these teenagers chatted with the people around them while looking at the VIP area here.
The arrival of Li Taoyao and Wei Youqing added a lot to this event. The teenagers who were originally a little disappointed by the withering of the VIP area showed different expressions after Wei Youqing arrived.
This mysterious Jiangnan Hou brings people too much reverie, some people say that he is an immortal, looking at his eyes are naturally full of worship and yearning, some people say that he is a demon, and his expression is naturally full of fear.
But most people know that today's Pearl Island is a rich paradise, coupled with the fact that this rich Jiangnan Hou is kind and charitable, anxious for justice and righteousness, and it is rumored that this Hou Ye is almost a Cihang master-like existence.
