Chapter 42: Leaving Beijing to take office

Views:

Li Kuan calmly walked in front of fifty people and walked behind them again. He didn't say anything, only his eyes wandered constantly. He was observing the movements of everyone after they stretched out their hands and how martial arts are. And the reaction of various parts of the body can be seen roughly.

Then, Li Kuan stayed in front of everyone for a while, looking at their hands, and then at their eyes. Nothing made the rest of the people feel a little uncomfortable, as if they were admired like a monkey. Some people's eyes are full of impatience, and even impatience appears on the connection.

When they changed slightly, they were immediately pointed out by Li Kuan that they were eliminated. Such a selection method caught people by surprise, leaving only ten people. This time Li Kuan finally took action. He let ten people stand one arm away from each other, with their legs closed and standing straight, and no bending of their legs was allowed. If you can't hold it, just say it.

As the guards next to the emperor, each of them is a vying master. Right now, these ten people are just as if they are announcing something. Li Kuan asks them to do whatever they want, without blinking their eyes. Yes, without hesitation.

After Li Kuan asked them to stand in a military posture, they walked behind everyone, touching everyone's legs with his hands, and the unexpected external force caused their legs to bend instantly. Li Kuan didn't use too much strength, mainly because he had heavy objects on his body to make him unable to use his strength, but the weight also surprised them secretly.

Only one of the ten people was still standing like steel. Except for the body slightly forward, there was no bending in his legs. Li Kuan was shocked. He took the man out of the ten alone and let him stand behind him; The nine of them were again asked to reach out their hands, but they needed to clenched fists with both hands.

Li Kuan took a closer look, and then selected six people. The remaining three people stayed and asked about the names of the four people, in order of age: Zhang Chong, Liao Fan, Leng Feng, and Fei Lian.

Duan Zhixuan and Liu Hongji glanced at each other. They were both very surprised. You must know that these four people are not only not outstanding in the left and right Xiaowei Mansion, but can be said to be the bottom. I wanted to transfer them to another army, but they were surprised by Li. After Kuan came out, they really didn't know what Li Kuan was thinking.

"I want them for the four of them. Please take care of the next thing, the two generals!"

Li Kuan respectfully greeted Duan Zhixuan and Liu Hongji. He knew that these four people would be removed from the Forbidden Army and even their military status would be erased. From then on, these four people will follow him and become his own. Guard, he doesn't have to come forward for the next thing, just leave it to them.

Duke Wu is not clear about the matters surrounding Xiaowei Mansion, and he immediately understood the surprise and puzzlement on the faces of the two of them. Since Li Kuan, the king of Chu, chose by himself, he, an outsider, wouldn't be able to interrupt and remind him that it would not be a bad thing for the four to leave.

The weather is difficult in the left and right Xiaowei Mansion, leaving the palace to go outside is more suitable for the four of them. Besides, Xiaowei Mansion is the imperial army next to the emperor. It is directly under the command of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, and is responsible for protecting the emperor's safety. It is better to let him leave instead of staying.

Duan Zhixuan and Liu Hongji were stunned for a moment and both nodded in acquiescence. They didn't mention a word about the situation of these four people, which coincided with what Wu Gonggong wanted. The four took off their leather armors, changed into uniforms, and followed Li Kuan to the palace to meet Tang Taizong Li Shimin. Although Li Shimin directly controlled the army of Xiaowei Mansion, he was not very clear about the personnel in the army.

Li Kuan made it clear that after the four people followed him to Jingzhou, Li Shimin did not object and readily agreed. Immediately afterwards, the four of them carried two wooden boxes and went out. Li Kuan also bowed and thanked him and turned to leave. Li Shimin suddenly said, "I have prepared a carriage for you at Zhuquemen. Go!" Fast computer terminal: https://

Li Kuan nodded and thanked him, and again turned and left without any hesitation. He didn't say a word of digression from beginning to end, except for business or business. When he turned to leave, Li Shimin put down the memorial in his hand and looked at Li Kuan's back, his eyes were a bit complicated, he opened his mouth to say something more as if he had thought of something, but did not say anything.

"What are the details of the four people selected by the king of Chu?" Wu Gonggong answered according to the facts. Li Shimin frowned and thought: "What does he think?" The full text of the article is the fastest んττρs:/м .χ八㈠zщ.còм/

Li Kuan had already left the imperial city and walked towards Zhuquemen. Not long after he left the imperial city, Liu Hongji and Duan Zhixuan hurriedly came. It was not that they came forward, but Li Shimin gave oral instructions to go to Ganlu Temple. There was a sigh of relief in my heart, anxiously coming.

"Your Majesty!" Liu Hongji and Duan Zhixuan bowed and saluteed in unison. Li Shimin nodded and motioned for them to sit down and reply. After they sat down, Li Shimin asked straightforwardly about the situation of the four people selected by the king of Chu Li Kuan. In fact, Li Shimin still felt a little bit in his heart. worried.

Duan Zhixuan and Liu Hongji, as if they had already expected it, respectfully presented to Li Shimin all the past of the four and the results of the military assessment. After reading the details of the four, Li Shimin was also full of doubts, bowed his head and muttered in contemplation. : "Could there be other reasons?"

The two looked at the silent Li Shimin with trepidation. They were indeed selfish in this matter. None of these four had a good grade. After Li Kuan was selected, they did not speak out, nor did they say a word. If Li Shimin blamed it, they would be punished.

"You two will tell you the details of the selection process of King Chu!" As if guessing something, Li Shimin suddenly ordered the two of you to clarify what happened, although Duke Wu said it again. , But the angle is different and there is no clue.

Duan Zhixuan and Liu Hongji, the two generals who have led the battle all year round, have different identities and experiences, and they have different perspectives on the problem. Therefore, Duan Zhixuan and Liu Hongji repeated the matter again, without any omissions.

Li Shimin compared what the two of them said with the details of the four people, and finally figured out why Li Kuan did this. Even his every step of the idea was guessed one or two, and he had to admire Li Kuan’s ingenuity, and suddenly remembered. What Li Kuan had said to himself, only then understood the meaning.

There is a difference of one word, but the meaning is completely different. The assessment results of these four people, including their family situation, are all in line with Li Kuan's selection criteria. If it is to select four excellent guards, they may not really serve Li Kuan. Such people can escort them, but they can't be used. On the contrary, they are unremarkable and even unsatisfactory. These four people are more suitable for training.

Li Shimin also learned from the archives the number of martial arts of the four, including weapons, fists, bows, and arrows. After figuring it out, he burst into laughter, and ordered the two to remove the four of them from the left and right Xiaowei Mansion. , Changed to the guard of the king of Chu.

At this time, Li Kuan left the imperial city and came to Zhuquemen, got on the carriage and brought his belongings, and the four guards got on their horses and headed straight for Jingzhou. (End of this chapter)
