Zhao Yunze chatted with Yu Chi Baolin for some gossip, and waited for a long time before the Jiafu Gate of the East Palace was opened from the inside.When everyone outside the door saw it, they all stopped talking and looked at Jiafu Gate.A full-body military guard walked out of the Jiafu Gate and shouted solemnly: "By Your Majesty's order, all the generals will enter the palace in a queue" Wei Chi Baolin and other officers led by the guards hurriedly returned to their own formations, shouting trumpets to organize the formation.Cheng Chumo asked Zhao Yunze: "Master, where are we standing" Zhao Yunze said: "Let's keep a low profile, and when they all go in, let's go to the rear." ”As soon as the words fell, the guard suddenly asked in a loud voice, "Captain Zhao Yunze can be here?"
”Cheng Chumo hurriedly reminded Zhao Yunze.Zhao Yunze hurriedly turned around and replied to the guard: "A certain Zhao Yunze is here." ”The guard looked at Zhao Yunze and said, "Your Majesty has a will, if Zhao Yunze comes, he can lead the way." ”"Obey the order", now I want to be low-key.At this time, the guards had already rearranged their formations, and Zhao Yunze took Cheng Chumo to the front, and under the guidance of the guard, he walked into the East Palace.Enter the Jiafu Gate, wear the Chongming Gate and the Xiande Gate, and everyone will come to the square in front of the Xiande Palace.Zhao Yunze saw that Li Shimin was already standing on the front steps of the Xiande Palace.He wore a military uniform today, with a sword hanging from his waist, and he looked heroic.On both sides of Li Shimin, the important military attaches of the DPRK and China, the generals and generals of the various guards, all dressed in military uniforms, stood side by side.In front of the Hall of Virtue, there will be a star-studded gathering.Zhao Yunze suddenly thought maliciously at this time: If a bomb falls in front of the Xiande Hall at this time, it is estimated that Datang will be gaover.Thinking wildly in his heart, but he didn't dare to be careless in his actions, Zhao Yunze led hundreds of generals, and when he was still a few meters away from the shortest step in front of the Xiande Palace, he stopped and saluted Li Shimin."
Captain Zhao Yunze, and the generals of the guards, meet Your Majesty" Zhao Yunze knelt on one knee at this time, clasped his fists in front of his chest, and the performance was clearly a Tang military salute, not a court salute.As soon as he saw the posture of Li Shimin with those generals today, he knew that today's Xiande Hall only talks about things according to the rules of the army.Behind Zhao Yunze, Cheng Chumo and hundreds of generals also knelt on one knee together and paid homage to Li Shimin."
All the ministers are exempt," Li Shimin nodded to the generals."
Your Majesty" Zhao Yunze got up, and the generals behind him also got up.Li Shimin's eyes inspected the generals in the square from left to right, and said loudly: "My Tang Dynasty established the country with martial arts, and the soldiers of the three armies are all the pillars of my Tang Dynasty.However, it has been nine years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and there are evil neighbors who continue to make trouble outside, and there are still robbers running rampant inside.Martial arts are not prosperous, and the country is in trouble.I summoned you and others here today, and one tested your martial arts; The second is to tell you and others that I have the heart to rectify the military affairs and consolidate my Tang Zhuji.Since the beginning of your waiting, you should encourage yourself, practice martial arts diligently, and protect the peace of the people of the Tang Dynasty with your wishes. ”After speaking, Li Shimin walked down a few steps, raised his hand and pointed to the arrow targets that had been erected on the left and right sides of the square, and said: "All the generals, today I and all the generals, just watch the archery skills, and those who are successful in archery, I should not hesitate to reward." ”After a pause, Li Shimin said again: "If the archery skills are not proficient, there is no need to be discouraged, I am willing to personally guide you and other archery skills." ”As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, the faces of the generals standing in the square all showed excitement.What an honor it is to have the emperor personally guide him in archery.Some people are already wondering if their performance is a little more conservative when they are performing martial arts for a while, and it is good for His Majesty to personally give a few words.But what most people want is to play well for a while and strive for some reward.In fact, smart people can know when they think about it that Li Shimin's so-called personal guidance of archery is just a form used to motivate generals.There are so many people, it is impossible for Li Shimin to take care of them all one by one, and he will give him hand-in-hand guidance and archery.At most, it is a group to teach a few points of archery skills and experience.Since Li Shimin had already said yesterday in the early dynasty that it was up to the generals to practice archery today, then the people who could come to the Xiande Hall today were all archery masters selected by the guards.Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second, a group of strong people get together, and naturally they all want to compete.Therefore, at this time, the people who secretly cheered themselves up in their hearts still accounted for the majority.At this time, Li Shimin spoke again: "I joined the army at the age of sixteen, and for more than ten years, most of my time has been spent on horseback.Recently, I haven't moved my muscles and bones for a while, but I'm a little itchy.It's rare to have a lot of generals to accompany me to practice today, so let's let me demonstrate riding and archery first. ”After speaking, Li Shimin walked down the steps and shouted: "Malai" As soon as the words fell, a janissary rode a horse and walked to the bottom of the steps.Li Shimin walked down the steps, took the reins of the horse in the hands of the guards, moved the saddle, and stepped on the horse's back very neatly."
Bow and arrow" Li Shimin shouted again, and two more guards ran to the horse and handed Li Shimin a horn bow and a quiver respectively.Li Shimin carried the bow on his back and hung the quiver next to the saddle.Then he looked at the generals with blazing eyes and said, "All the generals and retreat to the side, and wait for me to shoot a few arrows myself." ”Zhao Yunze was very close to Li Shimin, and at this time he found that Li Shimin on a horse had a completely different temperament from what he saw on weekdays.At this time, Li Shimin was more like a calm and confident general, and the awe-inspiring murderous aura in his eyes seemed to be able to turn anyone who dared to stand in front of his horse turned into dust.At this time, the officers of the guards gave orders together, and those generals shouted the trumpet and retreated together, making way for Li Shimin to run horses.Zhao Yunze just wanted to retreat, but Li Shimin looked at Zhao Yunze immediately at this time, and said in a deep voice: "Peng Yu, take Chu Mo and stand behind Keming." ”Zhao Yunze took a closer look in front of the Xiande Palace, and saw that Du Ruhui was also wearing a military uniform, so he hugged his fist at Li Shimin and promised.Then, Zhao Yunze pulled Cheng Chumo, who was still in a daze, and walked up the steps in front of the Xiande Hall and stood straight behind Du Ruhui.Zhao Yunze was very puzzled at this time, whether Li Shimin asked him to lead the team into the palace, or let him stand in front of the door of the Xiande Hall at this moment, it seemed that he intended to highlight Zhao Yunze's difference in front of everyone.Moreover, Li Shimin's two arrangements were not notified to Zhao Yunze yesterday, which is even more strange.The more Li Shimin seemed to arrange it casually, the more everyone felt that Li Shimin was unusual to Zhao Yunze.Zhao Yunze felt that Li Shimin seemed to be deliberately roasting himself on the fire."
Lord Du, why did Your Majesty treat me like this today" Zhao Yunze stretched his neck and asked in a whisper close to Du Ruhui's shoulder."
Don't ask too much, Your Majesty's move has its own deep meaning, and you will naturally know it then."
Du Ruhui whispered.Zhao Yunze had no choice but to put aside the doubts in his heart and watched Li Shimin's riding and archery performance
