In the valley, Li Shimin and his wife have a separate small courtyard. There is nothing surprising. It is an ordinary farmhouse built after Li Mu left. Li Shimin occasionally comes to stay for a few days, but most of the time Li Yuan is not invited to see him.
, but even if it is just a pretense, he must do this, because since ancient times, Mingjun has always ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety. To put it simply, this is a face-saving project.
The face-saving project also has benefits, at least now I have a place to live in the valley.
Li Shimin plays mahjong with Mrs. Lu and Li Yuan every day, and it's not in vain. He is observing, judging, and analyzing. He wants to know what Mrs. Lu is thinking in her heart. People's hearts are the most unpredictable. If he treats Lu
His wife's thoughts resulted in a misjudgment, and the loss was something he could not bear.
He put himself in danger, but he was not unprepared. In the valley, the only person who could pose a threat to his life was the Qiubeard Guest. And Li Shimin had Eunuch Gao beside him. Although he couldn't defeat the Qiubeard Guest, he could at least resist it.
For a while, the garrison guard was outside the valley and could rush in at any time. No matter how high the Qiu Beard's martial arts skills were, he was still no match for thousands of arrows. Not to mention, Li Jing had been staying in the valley in the name of reminiscing about the past. Qiu Bearded
Loyalty is the most important thing in Ke's life. With Li Jing here, it is impossible for him to take action against Li Shimin.
Li Jing was undoubtedly very conflicted, and the balance between loyalty and righteousness was always swinging in his heart. In the end, the reason why Li Jing chose loyalty was not that Li Shimin's status in his heart surpassed that of Qiu bearded guest, but more because he considered the dawn of the common people in the world.
. He is a person who has experienced the chaos of the late Sui Dynasty. He knows that in troubled times, people's lives are like grass, and he also knows how difficult it is to end troubled times. Everyone looks at things from a different perspective. From Li Jing's perspective, Li Shimin's ability to end troubled times is a great merit in itself.
He is worthy of the throne of the Dragon Throne, and Li Mu, maybe he is also worthy of it. But the world cannot be in chaos again. If there is chaos again, the people will suffer too much.
Therefore, Li Jing's presence in the valley every day was clearly a check and balance on the Qiu Bearded Guest. He used the word "righteousness", the Qiu Bearded Guest's biggest weakness, to check and balance him. The Qiu Bearded Guest knew this in his heart, but he did not reveal it. Li Jing was his sworn brother.
His status in his heart is beyond the comparison of ordinary people.
Although Li Shimin is not in the palace, there is nothing Li Mu has done these days that he does not know.
"Li Mu is willing to spend 100,000 yuan to build a military academy. What is his purpose?"
Li Shimin was thinking in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud because he didn't want Empress Changsun to think that he was plotting against Li Mu. On the surface, what happened back then and what happened this year are all in the past.
But in Li Shimin's heart, this matter is far from over. His suspicion of Li Mu has not decreased, but has become more. He is holding back now because the value of Li Mu's existence is much higher than the value of his disappearance. If the situation
On the contrary, things are not certain.
How can others be allowed to sleep soundly beside the couch? A country can only have one master. Even if Li Mu wants to be the 'Emperor of the Night', Li Shimin will never allow it.
"He should want to train the next generation, so that all the next generation of soldiers will be his people?" Li Shimin thought of this possibility, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it was. He couldn't help but wonder, if this idea is really Li Mu's idea,
Then the disaster is not in front of him, but will be a hundred years from now.
"Your Majesty, Li Mu has delivered a discount."
Eunuch Gao's voice interrupted Li Shimin's thoughts. He came back to his senses and said, "This guy has become more diligent. Let me see what he wrote."
Eunuch Gao handed the folded book to Li Shimin. Li Shimin opened it and looked at it. The ink was not dry yet. It was obvious that he had just finished writing it. Li Shimin's small courtyard was only a few hundred steps away from Li Mu's small courtyard. He brought it over as soon as he finished writing.
It is normal for the ink not to dry.
"Yo?" Li Shimin said "Yo" in surprise when he saw the font of Zhezi. It turned out to be Wang Xizhi's regular script. The charm was very similar, and he couldn't even tell it if he didn't distinguish it carefully. Li Shimin loved Wang Xizhi's calligraphy and once tried to practice it.
, but did not get the method. However, Li Mu was able to practice it in a short period of time. Li Shimin was puzzled and felt helpless.
Looking carefully at the contents of the memorial, Li Shimin's brows became more and more intense. It was not that there was anything wrong with Li Mu's memorial, but that there was nothing wrong with Li Mu's memorial. Not only did Li Mu consider that if a school was established in his name, it would arouse criticism from cronies.
The problem has not yet been prepared, and the solution to this problem is given. That is, the school does not have a principal, and the principal is the emperor himself. The people who come out of this school are all disciples of the emperor. In other words, if it is a crony, then this school
The students who came out were all the Emperor's cronies. They were loyal to the Tang Dynasty, to the Emperor, and not to any other force or person.
The answer given by Li Mu immediately made Li Shimin feel that he was judging a gentleman with a villain's heart, and the suspicion in his heart subsided a little, but there was still a bud that had not been completely eliminated. Li Shimin put Li Mu into
He collected the notes, put them aside, and said to Mr. Gao fairly: "Tell Li Mu that I can trust him. He can do whatever he wants without having to tell me everything in detail. He should do his best and get things done."
"
Eunuch Gao responded and went down to reply to Li Mu.
…
Li Mu got Li Shimin's order, so he was naturally not polite and went ahead with it.
The teaching academy needs talents. Li Mu does not choose people randomly, he has several strange and demanding requirements.
First of all, you must have experience in fighting on the battlefield. Those who have not been on the battlefield for four or five years and have not fought in several major cities in the world will not be considered at all. Now that there are still talents in the world who have experienced the chaos of the late Sui Dynasty, try to use them
Those who have been on the battlefield are much better than those who talk on paper.
Secondly, make them frustrated. People who are frustrated can put it bluntly, it is easy to use. If someone is prosperous and you try to kill them, they will definitely feel uncomfortable. It would be nice if they don’t make trouble anymore. How can they be willing to help you?
It's different for people who don't have ambitions to serve and teach here peacefully. Because they are in disgrace, their colleagues are ostracized, their bosses are dismissive of them, and they can't see their own future for a while, they will gradually become discouraged; at this time,
, Li Mu gave them a chance, how could they let it go? They were absolutely determined.
The last point is also the most important. These teachers must have some theoretical foundation, that is to say, they must have some culture, have clear and accurate judgments in their minds, know right from wrong, know good and evil, and have three correct views. Such people must come.
Teaching, otherwise if your intentions are not right, it is better to get out of the way.
Therefore, we carefully selected only about thirty people, most of whom were unknown.
Li Mu met with them. When these military attaches met Li Mu, they were all extremely respectful. This was not because Li Mu had any domineering air, but because they had all heard of his reputation. How could Chang'an not know about Li Mu's affairs?
Any child can tell his legendary stories for a whole day. Now that he is in the limelight, who dares to show off his power in front of him?
Li Mu only said a few words to them lightly, urging them to do their jobs well, and then waved his hand to ask them to stand by. At this time, he still had to show some dignity. Li Mu knew in his heart that the Qiu Ba he faced were all corpses.
You are an old man who has crawled out of the mountains and seas of blood. If you show a little weakness, whether you can suppress him or not will become a problem.
The military academy was not on track yet, so they gave temporary lectures and borrowed the space of Datang Technical School. Li Mu first gathered all the 'faculty and staff' together, looked at them with a serious face, took a slow sip of tea, and sat upright.
.
According to the current establishment of the school, there are a total of 30 military instructors, 20 doctors of literature, a number of Xuecheng, Xuezheng, Xuezheng, chief clerks, five subordinates, and fifty subordinates.
If you really want to calculate it, this establishment is by no means smaller than that of the Imperial College, and is much larger than that of the original Datang Technical School. Looking at the crowd of people in front of him, Li Mu cleared his throat and began to lecture: "From today on, the establishment of the Military Academy will
We have finally set up a relationship. School starts today. From now on, we will work together to cultivate talents and cultivate future generals. You will have glory in your face, and so will I. Your Majesty has always been generous with rewards. If you do well, you will deserve the credit.
"
The man below said loudly: "You dare not die."
Li Mu waved his hand: "Don't talk too much. You have all read the tutorials I have formulated. Who has any objections?"
Everyone was silent, and the shadow of the famous tree was unknown to the Marquis of Luoyang. Who dared to raise objections? So they all said: "Don't dare, don't dare..."
According to the establishment of the school, there are a total of thirty military instructors, twenty Confucian doctors, in addition there are Xuecheng, Xuezheng, Xuezheng, several chief clerks, five subordinates, and fifty subordinates.
If you really want to calculate it, the establishment of the Armed Forces Academy is by no means less than that of the Imperial Guard. Looking at the depressed people, Li Mu cleared his throat and began to lecture: "From today on, the Armed Academy is set up. School starts today.
, From now on we are in the same boat and raising up good people together. Master Jijiu will be proud of his face, and so will my job as a businessman. Your contribution is indispensable."
The man below said loudly: "You dare not die."
Everyone was silent, and the shadow of the famous tree was unknown to the Marquis of Luoyang. Who dared to raise objections? So they all said: "Don't dare, don't dare..."
However, there was a voice in the crowd saying: "Master Hou, I will be quite puzzled by this tutorial."
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and said in their hearts: "Who is so bold and dares to contradict the Marquis of Luoyang?" Li Mu was also curious, looked at it intently, was stunned for a moment, and said: "Su Lie? When did you return to Chang'an? You
Didn’t you go to Dingxiang?”
"Two months ago, I was transferred back to the garrison. I haven't had time to inform the Marquis yet."
It turned out to be an old acquaintance of the Marquis, and everyone was relieved. Does this make sense?
I saw Su Lie hugging his hands towards Li Mu and said: "Master Hou, it's okay to declare discipline, but it seems that there is something wrong with standing in line and walking training for a month in a row. Standing in line and walking are all flower stands. It's really a fight.
, but also rely on thrusting spears and drawing bows, is it appropriate to add some practical training?"
In Su Lie's view, for soldiers to survive on the battlefield, the most important thing is their skills. He thought that Li Mu didn't know how to train soldiers, so he couldn't help but want to remind him.
Li Mu had a straight face, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. Everyone looked at him cautiously. On the first day, someone challenged Mr. Hou’s authority. This was not bad. So did Su Lie, who had just been transferred back two months ago.
The little captain dared to contradict the Marquis. Even if he was an old acquaintance, he shouldn't be so presumptuous.
Su Lie was still interested and continued: "In addition, there is one more thing. Training during the day is already hard, but you still have to study after dinner. The general doesn't understand. Since you are joining the army, you only need to be literate. What's the point of studying?
Use? It’s not like we’re asking them to take the No. 1 exam, it’s better to take a rest and recharge their batteries.”
Li Mu was not the only one offended by this sentence. The doctors of literature all had serious faces, sneered and pinched their beards. All those who disobeyed the enlightenment were their enemies. Except for Li Mu, they did not dare to offend, and you, Su Lie,
What is it?
So he shot out a series of murderous gazes, wanting to eat Su Lie alive. This guy is so unethical, it is simply unreasonable!
Li Mu waited for a while, and when Su Lie stopped talking, he said calmly: "Are you done asking?"
Su Lie realized later and noticed Li Mu's displeasure, and quickly bowed and said: "This is all I can think of, it's over."
Li Mu stroked the case and said coldly: "Su Lie."
"The end will be here."
"Since you claim to be a general, you need to know that military orders are as high as mountains, and the regulations set by this prince are also what you can make irresponsible remarks on?"
Su Lie said solemnly: "Just now the Marquis asked, and the last general said——"
Li Mu said: "Are you still contradicting me? Now I demote you to a pawn and study and train with your classmates. This is a military order. Just do as I say. Do you understand?"
Su Lie murmured for a moment, and tried to argue a few words, but finally sighed, lowered his head and said, "I will understand."
The unnecessary quarrel was caused by Su Lie looking for trouble, but on the other hand, it also reflected the thoughts of many teachers. Although some people did not say it, most of them were dissatisfied with Li Mu's teaching methods. One
You little boy, do you know anything about the military? If these methods were proposed by Li Jing, I bet no one would raise any objections.
This is also a common thing. Anything that comes out is bound to be controversial. What's more, even he himself is not sure about the teaching method advocated by Li Mu. He just arranged it according to the military training he had experienced and doubled it. It's just that he
He also knew in his heart that with the methods of this era, the people he would teach must be the people of this era. This was not the new generation he wanted. What he wanted were soldiers who were loyal to this country, not to a certain person or a certain person.
The differences between the emperor's armies are not enough for outsiders to understand.
Su Lie raised objections, which was a blow to Li Mu's prestige, so Li Mu said coldly and taught him a lesson without giving him any face at all.
At this point, there was nothing more to say. Li Mu explained a few more words, and then assigned tasks. Before officially starting teaching, preparations must be done. These days before and after the New Year are prepared for them. Wait until after the New Year.
The admissions are all ready. When the military academy is officially operational, the first semester will basically be closed. Many problems will arise, and plans must be prepared.
