"Target No. 1, all three arrows hit, but the strength is a little lacking. Gao Qiaoqi points you to be the third best shooter!" Someone immediately shouted Gao Lishi's evaluation, and it spread throughout the audience in an instant. "Target No. 1."
Archer, I saw the hussar general on stage."
Hearing that he only got third place, Yu Wenzhi could not help but feel depressed. When he heard the messenger ordering him to go to the stage to meet Gao Lishi, all the depression was immediately replaced by ecstasy. In order to escape from prison, he had not hesitated before.
He asked his good friend Wang Xun to threaten to disclose the secret account books he had recorded in private, forcing Yang Guozhong to rescue him. Now that he was out of the sea of misery, he urgently needed to find a strong backer to prevent Yang Guozhong's minions from seeking revenge. And Gao Lishi's position in the court
The influence is no less than that of Yang Guozhong. If you climb this high branch...
Before Yu Wenzhi could think about how he should behave in order to leave a deeper impression on General Gao, a low cough suddenly came from his ears. With the alertness he had developed in the past, he realized that he was in a daze.
He had already followed the footsteps of the messengers and came to the stand. He quickly raised his head and looked forward, standing with his fists clasped in awe, "Caomin Yu Wenzhi, thank you General Gao for your guidance. Thank you General Feng and all the generals for giving this opportunity to show your archery skills!
"
"Are you Yu Wenzhi?" Hearing this name, Gao Lishi immediately remembered what his adopted son had asked for a few days ago. He frowned and asked in a low voice.
Yu Wenzhi was stunned when he was asked. After thinking about it for a long time, he answered nonsense, "Yes, Yu Wenzhi is just a common man!"
Hearing the two people's nonsensical questions and answers, everyone in the stands was slightly startled. The smart ones immediately realized that Gao Lishi and the young man in front of him who was good at shooting might have had some relationship before. But the stupid ones realized
, then smiled and wondered whether the two of them were so excited today that they couldn't even speak.
As a close minister of His Majesty the Emperor, Gao Lishi's six senses are so keen. Without squinting, he could already feel the fluctuations in the surrounding atmosphere. He smiled and supplemented in a low voice: "Our family once heard someone mention it when we were chatting.
You, Yu Wende, a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs, are your brother, right? Your surname is related to the founder of the country, Duke Ying!"
The scribe of the Duke of Ying and the great-grandfather of Yu Wenzhi followed Emperor Taizong to ping Jingang of the Song Dynasty, defeated Dou Jiande, and destroyed Wang Shichong, and made great contributions. His reputation and status were both high during the Zhenguan period. But what Yu Wenzhi never forgets is how
To restore the family's former glory, when Gao Lishi mentioned it, he immediately bowed and replied loudly: "Returning to the words of General Hussar, I am the great-grandson of Duke Ying. It is really a disgrace to the name of our ancestors to have nothing to learn."
!”
"Yes, you are very good!" Gao Lishi shook his head, denying Yu Wenzhi's modest words, "Among the noble disciples, there are only a handful of people who can practice archery to your level. I remember that your grandfather was once sealed.
Are you the official of Xincheng County? Why did you just call yourself a grassroots citizen?"
"Junior..." Yu Wenzhi's face turned red and he explained with a smile, "Junior's father has many brothers, so he was unable to ascend the throne. As for the junior, he was born as a commoner, so he has no chance to serve the court!"
"That's right!" Gao Lishi frowned again and said softly. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the treatment enjoyed by the sons of concubines was indeed very different from that of legitimate sons. Someone in the court had already reminded the emperor that this
This inheritance method is very unfair, and it is easy to cultivate the inertia of the legitimate sons of the family. At the same time, it also prevents the descendants of common people from having the opportunity to show their talents. However, the power of tradition is unimaginable. Even if the emperor sees this unfair existence, he will not
Dare to make changes easily. Therefore, that memorial only caused a splash in the court, and then nothing happened.
"I, a man of the Tang Dynasty, have always been particular about 'getting fame on horseback'. It's not a bad thing that you didn't get the title by chance!" Seeing the thoughtful expression on Gao Lishi's face, Feng Changqing took it with a smile.
At the beginning of the conversation, "The general just said that your shooting skills are more than accurate but not powerful. But you can be called a piece of jade. I am short of a few good archers under my command. Would you like to join my personal brigade?"
Being able to become Feng Changqing's personal soldier, the chances of promotion are much greater than being a low-level officer in the Feilong Guards. Yu Wenzhi was overjoyed, and immediately straightened his chest and back, clasped his fists and saluted, "If you return to General Feng, the ordinary people can only ask for it!"
"Hahaha, hahahaha!" Feng Changqing laughed heartily at Yu Wenzhi's impatient look. He stroked his beard and turned his head to Gao Lishi, "Yuan Yigong, Feng Yue will do this for you.
How about the jade craftsman?”
"You know how to pick up the bargain!" Gao Lishi scolded with a smile, then looked at Yu Wenzhi and added with a smile: "Since you and I have promised before, we will select those who perform well in the competition as officers.
Don’t let him just be an ordinary soldier. With his shooting skills and family background, it’s not an exaggeration to be awarded an imperial martial arts school captain! Feng Jiedu, what do you think?”
Imperial Martial Arts School Lieutenant Yu Wenzhi immediately trembled in his heart, and all the blood in his body rushed into his eyes. That was an eighth-level military position. As long as General Feng nodded, he was hit by two great men at the same time.
The general's favor! From now on in Chang'an City, you basically don't have to worry about anyone's revenge!
In his eyes that were almost begging, Feng Changqing nodded slowly, "Haha, haha, since Yuan Yigong has a sharp eye and is ready to promote him beyond the level, how can Feng not obey the etiquette! Come here, get a set of imperial weapons.
Here comes the captain's military uniform and waist badges, put them on for Warrior Yuwen immediately!"
"Thank you, General Gao, thank you, General Feng! Such a great favor, I will never forget it, my junior!" Yu Wenzhi was so excited that he couldn't even speak. He bowed to Gao Lishi and Feng Changqing repeatedly. Gao Lishi was a little bit
I didn't like the ecstatic leftist like him. He frowned slightly and emphasized sternly: "Our family is just following your majesty's order to select talents for the country. You will work hard in the future and never forget your majesty's grace. That's it."
The best thanks to our family! Your Yuwen family has talents like Duke Ying, but it has also produced scum like Yuwen Wenji. I hope you will take good care of yourself in the future!"
"Yes, I will definitely keep the general's teachings today in mind!" From the peak of excitement to the bottom of humiliation, Yu Wenzhi's face suddenly turned red and green, he clasped his fists and responded in a low voice. At the same time,
There was a clearer voice saying in my heart, 'Old eunuch, how did I offend you? You actually use such words to bury people. Just wait, sooner or later, this humiliation will be repaid in full. Sooner or later!'
