Xin Qiji has had one regret since he was sensible, and that is why he could not have been born thirty years earlier and followed the current officials to chase the north, sweep away money and destroy Xia, and "win his reputation both before and after his death" like King Han and Qin did.
He must have been around ten years old. His words were heard by his father Xin Wenyu, who was serving in the imperial cavalry, and he laughed, "You are the only one? Can you compare with the princes of Han, Yue, Li and Wu? Then I have to go back to Zhangqiu."
Look, is there smoke coming out of our ancestral grave? No, is it a fire-breathing dragon?"
Xiao Xin, who was in adolescence, couldn't stand the ridicule, so he replied, "Didn't Weng Weng tell you earlier? He has a son who was kicked out of the royal class and sent to the imperial cavalry because he was unlucky at work. You can imagine that his ancestral grave
It’s just black smoke coming out of it.”
It is also conceivable that he was beaten badly by his father that time.
In fact, Xin Wenyu was really unjustly accused. That time when the Imperial Guard was stationed on the defensive, he did not have any deficiencies in defense. It was just because the official's eyesight and arm strength were so good that he shot an arrow several hundred meters away, which happened to scare Madam Xie and Yang.
The most intolerable thing for the county prince was for any problem with the official's guard, and he was immediately kicked away regardless of anyone's pleas.
Madam Xie later heard about his unfortunate deeds and felt that they had something to do with her, so she made a rare plea for mercy. Unexpectedly, Zhao Guanjia said: "Xin Wenyu is actually a good general. He has always been buried in the imperial court. It just so happens
If I go to other places to make achievements, it will not be in vain for me to compete with his emperor and his ministers."
Zhao Jiu thought he really meant well, but he didn't know that Xin Wenyu was almost kicked out of the house by his father because of this. Even his new boss Qu Duan felt that such a thing with poor protection was really a waste, and he was given it purely because of his outstanding performance in the Lishan Incident.
left.
However, Qu Duan is obviously more optimistic about the boy Xin Qiji. Frankly speaking, Xiao Xin's archery and horse skills are not top-notch, at least there is still a gap between Yue Yun and Wang Shixiong, but sometimes the natural bravery and
The general's talent is like a cone in a bag, unable to hide it at all.
Although he was very unhappy, Qu Dutong had to admit that his biological son and godson were not as talented and hard-working as others. Once, Qu Duan was talking to Xiao Xin, "Boy, what do you most want to do in the future?"
"
Xin Qiji responded with special respect, "Of course, like all the great kings, I will march forward for the king, kill the enemy chiefs under their horses, open up the territory, expand the territory, and protect the country and the people."
Qu Duan sneered: "You haven't fully grown your hair yet, what are you doing with me? What are you doing with me? Where are you going to find a fight when things are so bad in the country? You are a good young man, why are you so boastful at such a young age? Isn't it possible?
Did you learn this bad habit from Han Shizhong?"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Xin said seriously: "Prince Qujun, where are these words? What I said is true and sincere. The official family first restored the land of their ancestors, and then hated it for hundreds of years. Now it has restored the old territory of the Han and Tang Dynasties. As long as you study hard and work hard."
Lian, where is there no kingly affairs for me to be loyal to? Although Xiliao is considered an ally, its queen mother is unstable. Eastern and Western Mongolia each have their own ambitions. The southwest is not stable after the restoration of prefectures and counties. It is time for me to serve the country.
How can the prince say such exaggerated things about me?"
It was rare in Qu Duan's life that he was choked by a 14-year-old boy. But after looking carefully, he seemed to feel that such a confident child was the driving force for them to create a prosperous world. So he called Xin Wenyu, not for discussion at all but
He informed himself that he was going to recommend Xin Qiji to the Tokyo Martial Arts School for training.
Why is it Tokyo Martial Arts instead of Yanjing Martial Arts? Because after years of improvement, it is generally accepted that Yanjing Martial Arts is a place where martial arts exercises are directly performed, while Tokyo Martial Arts is more of a place for diligent study and hard training.
In Xiao Xin's opinion, the days in Tokyo were not difficult. Anyway, it was just classes, competitions, and military exercises. Occasionally, several retired senior officers would be invited to talk about their practical experience. But the only thing they were dissatisfied with was that they
There is no real opportunity to practice. At most, it is a practice for both sides.
Lu You, the right minister of the Ministry of War and a martial arts judge, once told them that blindly reading military books will only train themselves to be like Zhao Kuo. If you want to find opportunities for actual combat, you must seize every drill, and at the same time, you must remember that in real combat, you must seize every opportunity.
When you enter the battlefield, you will always be panicked and uncomfortable, but if you can survive this, you are a true hero.
But unfortunately, despite what Xin Qiji and Qu Duan said, the Song Dynasty was actually very stable. The only actual combat experience was probably when bandits broke out in the mountains of Zhengzhou. They were responsible for cooperating with the local government officials to suppress the bandits. But in total
There were more than thirty gangsters. It was actually a bit different from the war scene he imagined.
In this regard, his good friend Chen Liang comforted him and said, "The stability of the country is a blessing to the common people. We should congratulate the officials and their families. The Song Dynasty is so big, sooner or later there will be a place for you and me to contribute as warriors. Just like Tangyin County back then.
Wang Yue's consort, who would have known that he would just go on a mission to Dali and become famous all over the world."
Xin Qiji was inspired. He studied and practiced harder and harder, and finally passed all the martial arts examinations at the age of twenty. He was qualified to go to Yanjing and participated in the martial arts examination in the 33rd year of Jianyan.
As a result, his performance was so excellent that he ranked first from the first test to the second test, and was far ahead of the second place. When the last martial arts test came, King Qin, who came to accompany the official out of boredom, insisted on trying with him.
This made Xin Qiji very frightened, and Zhao Jiu was also very frightened.
This good minister, I know that you are an old man with great ambitions, but you have to think about it. You are 72 years old this year. Who is to blame if you fall while riding a horse?
However, Xiaoxin quickly adjusted his attitude and actually said to King Qin, "I have always respected King Qin in my life. If I can get your advice, I will be lucky. However, if I am lucky enough to win one or two moves, can I ask King Qin to agree to this, boy?"
a request?"
"What? It's not my mother-in-law's."
Xin Qiji said embarrassedly: "This boy came to Yanjing this time. His parents only gave him accommodation money. But he has been drinking a lot and making friends recently, and he is short of money. If I win, can King Qin help me settle the bill?"
Already?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Han Shizhong was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly. He patted his shoulder and said, "A member of my generation, don't worry, no matter you lose or win, you
The account is on me. But I didn’t seem to hear clearly just now, what is your name?”
"The boy's name is Xin Qiji. His ancestral home is Jinan Prefecture."
"Pfft" Something suddenly happened to Zhao Guan's family, and he vomited all the pomegranate juice from the Western Regions that Madam Xie had finally squeezed out for him.
He tried his best to comfort himself. Hey, in this life, you should not have to dream back to the Trumpet Camp or pat the railings all over, let alone die shouting "kill the thief". From this point of view, we don't owe you anything.
Your right.
As for "The Sapphire Case", we all admire Zong Zhongwu!
However, upon further understanding, he found out that this boy was actually the son of Xin Wenyu, the commander of the imperial camp who had been with him for many years and the current commander of the imperial cavalry. He not only lamented that God had played a trick on him.
But back to the current written test, it turned out that Han Shizhong really won. Without him, the final test was about the ability to annihilate enemies on the battlefield. Although they were all fake swords, Prince Han, who had experienced many battles, could deal with a newbie with just experience.
You can win beautifully.
Then, Han Shizhong kept his word and not only settled Xin Qiji's account, but also invited He He and Chen Liang to live in his home before conferring an official position. He spent the whole day discussing the art of war and imparting experience, and frankly said that he had discovered a great talent.
It was delayed by Qu Duan for so many years.
After going to Huolu, Princess Yiyou returned to the palace and complained to her father that her uncle had gone crazy and was about to marry this Xiao Xin Tanhua as a brother of the opposite sex. He also completely ignored his parents. He was preparing to marry her in Yanjing.
Time to choose a good wife for him.
Zhao Guanjia's mouth twitched, "I'll talk to him later. But Yiyou. Did Liangchen discuss poetry with him?"
The eldest prince concubine next to her (actually known to everyone as the prince concubine), Han, was surprised and said: "As expected, my father met Wanli Mingming. Ever since he met Xin Tanhua, my father felt that his poem Po Zhenzi was not good enough. I had to insist on it.
Let Xin Tanhua change it before I feel comfortable."
Zhao Guanjia felt a little uncomfortable and decided to find something for Xin Qiji to do quickly.
