Chapter 329: Another Year Solstice


On the sixteenth day of the lunar month, the martial arts hall is on winter vacation.However, the trainees could not return home, but were disrupted and assigned to various military camps in Chang'an City for internships.It was not until the sixteenth day of the first month of the first month of next year that they returned to the lecture hall to study.The camp of the martial arts hall suddenly became a lot more deserted.Only the training camp, the garrison battalion, and the Secret Service remained.On the twenty-second day of the lunar month, Cheng Chumo got married, and the one who married was naturally Li Li.The marriage of these two can be regarded as the result of free love.It's also very natural.After Cheng Yanjin inquired about Li Li's situation with Zhao Yunze, he asked Cheng Chumo his opinion, so he asked Zhao Yunze to propose marriage to Li Li's brother Li Ren.The ancestor of Li Ren and Li Li was the male of Jurong County and the general of Yingyang in the Northern Wei Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.Later, through the Northern Qi and Sui dynasties, the Li family was defeated.The branches of the family were scattered.Li Ren's branch is not Li Wei's main house.At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Ren's parents died in the war.Li Ren took his sister Li Li to beg for a living.Later, they met Huo Tiankui, the fire elder of the Dragon Protector Society, and the brother and sister joined the Dragon Protector Society.And they all learned a skill.Cheng Yanjin did not dislike Li Li's background, and took the initiative to propose to Li Ren, and Li Ren naturally agreed.Li Li and Cheng Chumo have been in love for a long time, and they have no opinion on this family business.Zhao Yunze was bleeding heavily this time, and gave Cheng Chumo thirty percent of money.What made him quite distressed was that after Li Li got married, he could no longer show up in the martial arts hall to do things.She is not like Fang Ting, she and Huo Tiankui are people in the rivers and lakes, and they don't care about this.The daughter-in-law of the Guogong Mansion was bound by etiquette after all.Zhao Yunze lost his secretary, and in desperation, he got Qin An into the Secret Service and became his secretary with the title of a foreign clerk.In terms of martial arts, Qin An is not as good as his cousin Qin Ping.But compared to reading and writing, Qin Ping is slightly inferior to Qin An.When Zhao Yunze went out of Beijing to inspect in the first half of the year, he was used to getting along with Qin An, so he made this decision.Zhao Yunze's family already had too few male servants, and as soon as Qin An came out again, there was usually only one male servant left in the family.Zhao Yunze had no choice but to let Qin Ping go to the human market, and bought five boys around the age of thirteen or fourteen to enter the mansion and follow Qin Ping to do things.Originally, Zhao Yunze still wanted to go to the city to pick people in person, but Qin Ping persuaded him that Lang Jun was a soft-hearted person, and he was afraid that he would not be able to see those hard-working people in the city.Don't soften your heart at that time, buy back too many people, and open your home into a good hall.Zhao Yunze listened to Qin Ping's words, and only buried his head in the sand like an ostrich, and didn't look at the shadow behind the bustling Chang'an City.The country is not strong, the people are not safe, there are too many poor people in the world, and they really can't help themselves.It is better to do your duty and let Datang become strong as soon as possible, which is the foundation of helping the people.Of these five boys, Qin Mo'er named them Zhao Wen, Zhao Liang, Zhao Gong, Zhao Qian, and Zhao Rang.They will be the slaves of the Zhao family in the future.On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, the imperial court gave annual leave.The first year of Zhenguan is about to pass.This year, Datang can be described as a blessing and a curse.Guanzhong, Shandong, and Hebei were hit by waterlogging; Luo Yi rebelled, Li Youliang rebelled, Wang Junkuo rebelled, Li Xiaochang rebelled, Qingzhou and Luzhou ethnic minorities rebelled; The important minister Feng Deyi in June, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the eighty-year-old minister Pei Ju Layue, these are not blessings.However, because of the opening of the law proposed by Zhao Yunze, Changping and Yicang were established, and the people in Guanzhong, Shandong, and Hebei were not greatly damaged by the disaster; Rebellions everywhere were quickly put down; The establishment of the lecture hall, the reorganization of the Dragon Protector Association, the opening of Chinese law, movable type printing, glass and other measures and new things have amassed wealth for the court.Most of the officials in Datang are also conscientious and keep the administrative machinery running.These are all blessings.The most gratifying thing is that in the first year of Zhenguan, the foreign races outside the country also gave Li Shimin face and did not invade.This is a world away from previous years when wars were fought all year round.For Zhao Yunze himself, the first year of Zhenguan was a bumper year.Knighthood, promotion, relocation, and addition of children can be described as happy events.The New Year's bell of the second year of Zhenguan finally rang, and Datang ushered in a new year.At the first meeting of the new year on the sixth day of the first lunar month, Li Shimin issued a New Year's edict to adjust the ministry of officials as usual.This year's adjustment has been minimal, with few changes at the top of the hierarchy.However, the eldest grandson Wuji, who only succeeded Feng Deyi as the right servant of Shangshu in July last year, was dismissed from his post and adjusted to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and only received the vanity of Kaifeng Yi and the three divisions.Yu Wenshi and made up the title of the right servant of Shangshu.The demotion of the eldest grandson Wuji is not because he made a mistake.Instead, some people in the DPRK and China said that he had too much power.Empress Changsun also persuaded Changsun Wuji to take the initiative to resign as prime minister.The eldest grandson Wuji listened to his sister's advice and told Li Shimin about his feelings.Only then did Li Shimin grant his request and let him fill the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the old minister Pei Ju, who had just passed away a few years ago.In addition, the title of Ma Zhou of the Wutang was also adjusted by Li Shimin to Chaosanlang from the seventh grade.The speed of Ma Zhou's promotion, except for those noble children, is comparable to Zhao Yunze.On the sixteenth day of the first month, the Tang Lecture Hall opened.The trainees who were assigned to the various military camps in Chang'an City for internship a few years ago have all returned to the lecture hall.On the 18th day of the first lunar month, a notice was posted in the Shenming Pavilion of the Jiangwutang, saying: Jiangwutang intends to set up a special operations detachment and plans to recruit 100 trainees from among the trainees to join.There are only two conditions, one is not afraid of death, and the other is not afraid of death.Students who wish to join this special team should sign up at the head of their respective team.This announcement is the recruitment announcement of Zhao Yunze's intention to set up a special combat team.The announcement is very vague, but when the students look at those two conditions, they are actually one condition: "not afraid of death", and everyone knows the nature of this special detachment.This is to recruit death squads.The members of the special combat team are naturally not competent just by not being afraid of death.It also includes many conditions such as political examination and personal talents, skills, etc.But not being afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice is the most important condition.Zhao Yunze didn't want the trained special combat team members to be strained at a critical moment because they were afraid of death.As for the other conditions, the students of the Lecture Martial Arts Hall were recruited after layers of selection, but Zhao Yunze didn't care too much.Besides, special combat teams can only be entered after an assessment, and other conditions can be tested through an assessment.First of all, the article "not afraid of death" is directly proposed, which is also the most direct test.In the beginning, there were not many students who signed up.Although being a soldier means fighting, forgetting life and death when fighting on the battlefield is different from "letting people die" in peacetime.The notice directly stated that the condition for recruiting special combat personnel was "not afraid of death," which made many students hesitate.Soon, however, the students all signed up.Since there are people who are not afraid of death to sign up, then everyone is carrying a head on two shoulders, and no one wants to be scolded as a coward, even if they are hard-headed, they have to sign up.In the end, there was not a single student of 800 who did not sign up.Moreover, even the people of the garrison and the auxiliary soldiers of the logistics joined in the fun, and all of them signed up
