Chapter 1171 Sanctification of the Flesh

"At the end of the Sui Dynasty, heroes fought in a melee. Du Fuwei and Chen Ling fought in Qizhou. A side general of Chen Ling shot Du Fuwei on the forehead. As a result, Du Fuwei shouted in anger, "I will never pull out the arrow if I don't kill the person who shot me." Then, he bravely entered the battlefield, captured the person who shot him alive, and asked the person to pull out the arrow for him. When the arrow was pulled out, he killed the man. Du Fuwei's army was very morale and Chen Ling was defeated!"

"Dad, is Du Fuwei still dead when he was shot in the forehead?" Li Cong asked suspiciously.

The eldest son Li Jing on the side said, "Du Fuwei must have practiced the iron-headed skills and his head is strong."

Erlang Li Hui sang the counter-arrangement with this brother who was only half an hour older than him, "If you really have a strong head, how can you shoot the arrow in?"

Li Chao couldn't help laughing as he heard the little guys arguing there.

"I'll tell you another story." Li Chao smiled and rubbed the head of the Eleven Lang Li Cong. Although this child is young, he is smart and weird.

"When your Majesty was fighting before speaking, whenever he came to the position, he felt uncomfortable when he saw brave soldiers coming in and out and showing off his troops. So every time he saw this situation, his Majesty would definitely order your Grandpa Qi County Prince to attack. When the Prince Qi was ordered, he would take the order to jump out of the horse and go away with a gun. When he came forward with a gun, he would stab him among the crowd, and his people and horses would fall."

"Later, your grandfather of the Prince of Qi was in poor health and often told people that when I was young, I started to live in military life. I experienced more than 200 battles and were seriously injured many times. I calculated that I had suffered several buckets of blood. How could I not be sick?"

"Is Grandpa Qin really that powerful? He took the head of the enemy general among all the troops. Isn't this Guan Er Master?" Li Cong said suspiciously again.

Li Jing corrected his eleventh brother again, "Grandpa Qin is the God of the Tang Dynasty, and Master Guan Er is just a marquis."

Li Shimin posthumously conferred Confucius as King Wenxuan and Daxing Confucian Temple. Subsequently, Li Shimin built another Wu Temple, with Jiang Taigong as the main god, and was named King Wucheng. He also enjoyed ten famous generals and set up four mates.

The four matches are: Sun Wu, Wu Qi, Zhang Liang, and Li Chao.

The ten philosophers are: Tian Rangju, the Grand Sima of Qi, Le Yi, the King of Yanchang, Bai Qi, Wu'an of Qin, Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin of Han, Zhuge Liang, the Marquis of Shu, Guan Yu, the Marquis of Shouting of Han, Li Jing, the Duke of Wei of Tang, Li Ji, the King of Dong County, Qin Qiong, and Yuchi Gong, the King of Wei County.

There are also 64 famous generals from ancient times to the present. These 64 people are Sun Bin, Li Guang, Huo Qubing, Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, etc., as well as Yang Su, He Ruobi, Han Qinhu, Wei Xiaokuan, Shi Wansui, and Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda, Su Dingfang of the previous dynasty.

The plan of the Wu Temple is imitated by the Confucian Temple, but among the four mates and ten philosophers and the sixty-four generals, all of the dynasties were still alive. In particular, Li Chao was actually included in the four mates, and was ranked alongside Sun Wu, Wu Qi and Zhang Liang.

The four generals Li Jing, Li Ji, Qin Qiong, and Yuchi Gong were also on par with Han Xin, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu and others.

Of course, Li Jing was right. Although Guan Yu was invited to the Wu Temple and included in the Ten Sages, he was still the Marquis of Han Shouting.

In history, Guan Yu became a saint after he obtained the Song Dynasty. He first became a duke, then the king, then the emperor, and then the emperor.

Therefore, there is no Guandi Temple now, let alone Guan Shengye.

However, Li Chao's Romance of the Three Kingdoms was published in the Times, but the book has been compiled. Li Chao's Romance of the Three Kingdoms was just renamed the Legend of the Three Kingdoms, but the content is still the same. This book is now even as popular as the Legend of the Tang Dynasty.

Storytellers even talked about this book in teahouses and restaurants at the first time.

Guan Yunchang took the general's head among all the troops, like taking objects from his pocket, which is known to everyone in his family.

Even when Li Cong heard that Qin Qiong was carrying a spear and stabbing the enemy among the troops, he thought it was Guan Erye’s ability.

Li Chao thought that the establishment of this martial temple was quite good. There were both the Confucian Temple and the Martial Temple, including both the Wenxuan King and the Wucheng King. The right way was to cultivate both civil and military affairs.

It was raining in spring and nothing happened, so Li Chao stayed at home, and a group of little guys came to pester him to tell stories. Li Chao didn't tell them any fairy tales.

"Let me tell you one more, tell me about your Grandpa Cheng and your Senior Brother Pei and his elder brother."

"Well, your Grandpa Cheng was still in Wagang at that time. At that time, your senior brother Pei Xingyan was also in Wagang. Pei Xingyan was quite famous at that time. He was known as the enemy of ten thousand people during the Sui Dynasty. He was very brave. Once, the Wagang army fought with Wang Shichong, and Pei Xingyan was a vanguard. As a result, he was ambushed and fell off his horse during the chaos."

"When Wang Shichong's subordinates were about to capture General Pei, at this time, your Grandpa Cheng jumped on a horse and rode his spear and rushed to the scene, killing several people in a row, and there was no one to stop him. Your Grandpa Cheng picked up General Pei and rode his horse back. Wang Shichong's cavalry chased him, and a general swung his spear and pierced his armor hole and penetrated your Grandpa Cheng's body. But your Grandpa Cheng roared, turned around and broke the extremely tough horse spear rod, and killed the man with a broken spear, and rushed out of the siege with blood."

Several boys' eyes shone as they listened.

They started practicing martial arts since they were young, and they liked the stories of generals and battlefields the most.

My little face turned red and my eyes shone.

However, the little girls obviously don’t like these stories of fighting and killing. They prefer to listen to stories such as princesses, princesses, Cinderellas, and clown ducks.

In the living room, women like Cui Yingying read newspapers and those who read books read books.

Du Shiniang was playing the piano. She had a good relationship with the two girls from Yaotai who had just started. Perhaps she had a common background experience. She was having a good chat with them, but now she was playing sings and singing together.

However, they are indeed strong in this regard. Cui Yingying can play the piano, but it is obviously at the amateur level, but Du Caiwei and the others are really powerful.

In this rainy spring, leaning against a recliner, listening to the band Du Caiwei and others playing, and telling stories with their children, I feel indescribable comfort and relaxation.

Perhaps it was because of spring, so I didn’t go out much, which made several more women in the family become pregnant.

Seeing more and more children, he even wondered whether he should have invented the sausage or something, otherwise he would have more children in the future. But think about it, let’s forget it. It’s better to have more children. The Li family is like a big business, and it’s lively to have more people.

In February, Li Shimin officially took all the officials out of the capital and went to Mount Tai.

The city of Hanjing was as lively as ever.

However, in the golden hall where the morning court is now sitting is the prince. On the round table of the imperial meeting, there are four main ones, Li Chao, Liu Hongji, Du Yan and Yang Gongren.

The twenty-seven prime ministers of the imperial court, except for the few military affairs who were not in Beijing, only three prime ministers of Liu Hongji were in Beijing, and the rest were all with him to Mount Tai.

Even the three provinces and six ministries and temples were transferred to the temples.

To put it bluntly, the emperor left and the court followed.

What Hanjing left was really just a left-behind court, with not many officials left.

Even the left-behind court had little to do, and important military and national affairs were sent directly to the emperor.

Li Chao, the left-behind minister, also felt comfortable.

He didn't feel bored at all, and he liked this feeling quite a bit.

In the Zhenguan Nine Years Examination Competition in February, Li Chao took the lead exam seriously. The exam went smoothly and there were no accidents. He admitted 500 Jinshis. Then, before Li Shimin left the capital, he held the palace examination in the Golden Palace again.

Finally, Li Shimin personally set the ranking.

Li Chao's four students who participated in the exam all passed the Jinshi, and Laiheng brothers and Pei Er also won the top three. Laiheng was the top scorer, Laiji was the Tanhua, and Pei Xingjian was the Tanhua. Even Song Qingshu was the 18th place in the second place.

Originally, Li Chao only ordered a few brothers from Lai's family to be outside the 100th place in the imperial examination.

But after the palace examination, Li Shimin insisted on choosing the three of them as the first class, and Li Chao also advised him. But Li Shimin said that choosing them is not based on your master-apprentice relationship, but the paper they answered is indeed satisfactory. Although the three are young, they have a solid foundation, and they also answer current affairs and are spiritual.

So, the list was released.

There was an uproar.

Although many people envy these three students, because this ranking was appointed by the emperor after the palace examination, and after the imperial examination, Li Chao did not choose his own disciple as a member, and the ranking was more than 100, so in the end, no one could blame Li Chao.

Especially after the emperor asked the newspaper to publish the papers answered by the three people in the Golden Palace, most of them were still very convinced. Of course, some people were not convinced, and there was no second in literature and no first in martial arts. Whoever could say was the best.

They believed that Pei and the other three could rank first because of the good teacher Li Chao.

Li Shimin left Beijing to go to Mount Tai after laughing at the clamor of the scholars all over the world.

Li Chao didn't care much, anyway, the three students did have real skills.

However, after this incident, it can be foreseen that the imperial examination in the ninth year of Zhenguan will inevitably be particularly famous.

Now these four new Jinshi have returned to their hometowns. This is also what Li Chao meant. Once he was on the list of gold, he had to return home in glory.

I worship my ancestors, go home to sweep the graves, and then I have to come back to the Imperial College for another year of training.

If you pass the Jinshi, you won’t be immediately appointed as an official.

You must first learn administrative knowledge from the Imperial College of Administration, and then participate in the selection of the Ministry of Personnel. The final measurement is used and you will be granted official positions.

There are 500 Jinshi a year, and it is impossible for everyone to have good officials.

It is also necessary to compete with the background and relationship. It is relatively fair to take the Jinshi exam, but the selection of the Ministry of Personnel is not so fair. Most new Jinshi students need to start from local prefectures and counties as officials. They are lucky and can be a vocational candidate.

Only a small number of people can stay in Beijing and start with officials in various departments.

There are even a few lucky people who can start with the county magistrate and chief clerk, while the county magistrate wants to reserve for those military officers.

Those who can become county magistrates directly can be said to be one in a hundred. There are not necessarily four or five people a year. As the top scorer in the first place, the second place, and Tanhua, they will not be county magistrates as usual. They are treated better and can directly enter the Hanlin Academy to start as editors.

The editor of the Hanlin Academy, the seventh rank, was only given to the first three Jinshi. Although he had no actual position, he would be a part of the job and talked about it again. It was not easy. At least he was a county magistrate.
