Li Shimin's will: Li Zhi, the throne belongs to your brother

"Who can read?"

"I, let me see!" A man with the appearance of a Confucian scholar squeezed to the front of the crowd, glanced at it, and began to read.

[There are barbarians in the north, named Goguryeo, wolves are ambitious, extremely rampant, disrespecting the Tang Dynasty, disrespecting the emperor, their hearts can be punished, and their crimes should be punished.

It is not human, abused Han prisoners, heard this sad, listened to tears, reunited for relatives, for family reunion, for saving friendly state Silla...

The hatred in the past and the humiliation today should be liquidated and returned together.

Therefore, His Majesty personally conquered and wanted to take Pyongyang, destroy Goguryeo, accept its territory as Tang soil, and name its country Koryo.

Now recruit three thousand brave men who are brave and good at fighting, and will accompany His Majesty to personally conquer Goguryeo...

】

"It's been 20 years, 20 years, and this day is finally here." A white-haired old Ou said.

"Recruiting brave men who are brave and good at fighting with one enemy, isn't it just me!" A burly man said while stroking his stubble.

"Quick, I'll get the registration as soon as possible, there are only [-] warriors, don't miss this great opportunity!!"

"Mother, this trip will definitely bring father back!!"

"Pyongyang? That's the capital of Goguryeo!!"

With the announcement and newspapers, the news quickly spread throughout Chang'an and continued to spread to other regions.

at the same time.

In the cemetery, a tall, majestic man was looking at the tombstone in front of him with a sad face.

I saw him with straight nose and square mouth, red lips and white teeth, majestic brows and eyes, and he looked handsome and compelling.

But at this time, he frowned, and sighed: "Hey, my son is not filial, and he has no money to relocate his grave..."

At this moment, a woman appeared in front of him and said to him, "Master, are you worrying about moving the grave again?"

"Hey, my family is poor and my career is not successful. My seven-foot son is wasted. I don't even have money to move the grave."

As he said that, he looked ashamed and turned his head to the woman and said, "I have to make my wife suffer together!"

"Husband, why bother, I heard that His Majesty personally conquered Goguryeo and recruited brave and skilled fighters.

Husband has a great talent and superb martial arts. Given this opportunity, why not serve His Majesty?

It's not too late to relocate and bury him when he is famous and rich.

When Xue Rengui heard that he went forward and held Liu Jinyin's hands, he was overjoyed and said, "Your Majesty really conquered Goguryeo and recruited three thousand warriors?"

"That's right~ Now that it's been passed down from mouth to mouth at the mouth of the river east, and a book to inform the world has also been written. I'm afraid that after the spring plowing, they will attack Goguryeo."

"It's a god-sent opportunity!!" After confirming the news, Xue Rengui swept away the previous depression, and then turned to look at Liu Jinyin.

"If I leave, leaving only your orphan and widow... this...?"

"Hey~" Liu Jinyin turned his head away when he heard that, and persuaded with some disappointment: "The ambition of a hero should be in the four directions, make contributions and be famous all over the world, how can you miss the gentle hometown."

With that said, he withdrew his hand.

"Okay!" Xue Rengui not only didn't get angry, but felt that the still silent ambition suddenly burst out, and said in a high voice: "A good man has ambitions everywhere!!"

As he spoke, he stepped forward and hugged Liu Jinyin tightly in his arms.

"It's my good fortune to have such a good wife. You should take good care of the family affairs at home. When I go to gain some fame, you will surely shine on the lintel of the family and return home rich and honored."

"This is the person I, Liu Jinyin, is looking for~" Liu Jinyin couldn't help but show a peach blossom when he heard this, and he was filled with joy.

"Ok!"

With Liu Jinyin's praise, Xue Rengui couldn't help but raise his head proudly, and let Liu Jinyin go.

Then he kneeled neatly in front of the tomb, bowing respectfully.

"The ancestors are above, the younger generations are unfilial and have no money to relocate, please forgive me.

When I join the army, make great achievements, become famous all over the world, and return to my hometown rich and honored, I will definitely let my ancestors be relocated with glory.

Hope ancestor bless! ! "

Let's talk, Xue Rengui got up immediately, turned to Liu Shi and said, "Go back and pack your bags."

Early the next morning.

Xue Rengui's father, Xue Gui, was full of admiration and led Xue Rengui to the room, opened the dusty box, took out a piece of armor from it, and said: "You must take care of yourself when you are going to war."

"Father, I will take care of myself!"

"This is handed down from the ancestors, silver fine scale armor, put it on!!" Xue Gui dusted off the dust and said to Xue Rengui.

"My son, thank you father!!" Xue Rengui was surprised at first, and then overjoyed. He had been envious of the armor for a long time.

It used to be a reward from the emperor, but it was a pity that the family was in decline. Although it had been a long time, it was already shining with silver light.

With the help of Xue Gui, Xue Rengui quickly put on the fine scale armor and held Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand.

In an instant, the armor was shining with silver light, and the whole person looked heroic, majestic, and extremely mighty.

Xue Gui nodded appreciatively and said, "Okay, anyone who looks at it looks like an extraordinary general."

"Father is absurd!"

"Hey~ No need to say much, let's go quickly, don't delay the time." Xue Gui waved his hand, signaling him to leave quickly.

"Father, mother, the child is going now!!" After speaking, Xue Rengui kowtowed three times in front of his parents.

"Well, let's go!!"

"Be careful!!"

"The child understands!!"

Let's talk, Xue Rengui turned and left full of ambition to serve the country.

This scene was staged in various places in the Tang Dynasty, some were full of ambition to serve the country, some were to find their relatives, and some were to thank Li Shimin.

Chapter 157 Xue Rengui is really brave

Countless people, full of hope and ambition to serve the country, gathered in Chang'an one after another with their bags on their backs.

At this time, Chang'an was very lively, because the selection of brave and skilled warriors was regarded as an event for people to watch. On the one hand, it could boost morale, and on the other hand, it could show their strength.

It's okay to be idle in winter, and there are a lot of people gathered here to watch.

The Ministry of War built a simple venue as a martial arts arena.

The south of the martial arts arena is the high platform where the referee sits. From the high platform, you can see the bottom at a glance. Sometimes Li Shimin and Li Tai will come to watch the progress of the selection from time to time.

In the north, there are some facilities, such as barbells made of iron, such as archery targets, weapon racks and so on.

The selection process is relatively simple.

The first item is to lift a two-hundred-jin barbell, the second is to ride and shoot, and the last is to show one's martial arts.

As long as two of the three items are passed.

Today, Li Shimin took Li Tai to the martial arts field to watch the selection again.

Looking at the countless people who signed up, Li Shimin smiled and was full of joy.

"If I recruit ten people, I will get a hundred people, and if I recruit a thousand people, I will get ten thousand people. It can be seen that the hearts of the people are gathered together."

"drink!!"

I saw a strong man below shouted loudly, holding the barbell tightly with both hands, with a sudden force, his feet trembling, he lifted it above his head.

"It's a Lux again!!"

"It's amazing to be able to lift two hundred catties with ease!!"

"Amazing!! This is a warrior!!"

His performance won applause and applause.

At this moment, the crisp sound of horseshoes of 'Dede' reached the ears of countless people.

The onlookers looked back.

Walking out from a distance, one person leads a white horse.

The horse was as white as snow, full of spirituality, and the man was dressed in a white robe, handsome and unparalleled.

When the man got closer, he was wearing a fine-scale armor covered with dense fish scales, and everyone who was shining under the sun could not open their eyes. The iron helmet on his head was fluttering with red tassels, and the cloak fluttered on his shoulders. .

When he approached steadily and walked in front of the crowd, they could see his face clearly.

He has a handsome face, bright eyes, and heroic brows. He is carrying Fang Tian's painted halberd in one hand and a white horse in the other, exuding a menacing aura all over his body.

Wherever he went, no one dared to look at him.

The onlookers involuntarily stepped aside, their eyes stayed on his face, and he said in a low voice.

"It's really majestic, with the burden, is it also here to join the army?"

"I don't see it!"

"Why?"

Someone told the truth: "Look at him wearing a white robe, holding a Fang Tian painted halberd, and leading a white horse. Is this something that ordinary people can have?"

"Indeed, where do ordinary people have such weapons?"

"Then who do you think he looks like?"

"It doesn't look like a soldier, but a general!!"

"General?"

While everyone was discussing, Xue Rengui glanced at the recruiter and asked politely.

"My lord, Xue Rengui, may I ask, is Your Majesty recruiting warriors here?"

"Yes!!" The recorder took a look, and was about to pay his respects, but stopped immediately after hearing these words, and replied with a surprised expression.

"Please sign up for me!!"

"It's easy to say! Dare to ask the hero's birthplace and name!"

"Hedong, Longmen County, Xue Rengui!"

"Hedong, Longmen, Xue Rengui." After the recorder finished writing, he turned his head and pointed to the rules next to him and said to Xue Rengui.

"The rules of this recruitment are here. If you don't understand anything, you can ask?"

Xue Rengui glanced at him, saluted and asked, "As long as you pass two items, you can join the army, so where should I wait?"

The person who recorded said: "There is no need to be too polite, the hero can wait at the side after the name is registered, and the hero's name will be called later, and you can enter the assessment."

"Thank you." Xue Rengui saluted and led the horse to the side, but he was as out of place with the surrounding people as if he stood out from the crowd.

"Unexpectedly, he really joined the army!"

"Yeah, I saw that he was so heroic and so cool, I thought he was already a general."

"Me too!"

Conscripts in this era usually have to bring their own dry food, and even their own weapons and armor.

But there are very few people who can afford armor weapons, so most of the people on the side are wearing sackcloth or leather armor, holding guns, and some are simply wooden sticks.

Therefore, Xue Rengui, who is holding a white horse and wearing iron armor, is extremely eye-catching, and it is not uncommon to be mistaken for a general.

It didn't take long.

The recorder at the side shouted to the crowd: "The next one is Donglongmen, Xue Rengui!"

Hearing his name being called, Xue Rengui immediately stood up and responded loudly: "Xue Rengui is here!!"

"Hurry up, come on stage, it's your turn!!" The recorder urged: "Bring your weapons and horses together!!"

"it is good!!"

When Li Tai on the high platform heard Xue Rengui's familiar three words, he cheered up immediately and looked at the entrance.

You must know that Xue Rengui's family is in decline now, and his father is a small official, but the poor family can't even move the ancestral grave.

However, Xue Rengui was recruited by Zhang Liang to become one of them, and since then he has started a life like cheating.
