Chapter 594 The seeds of suspicion
Li Shimin saluted Li Chao and the others, waved his hand, "Flat."
"Wen Yuan, you have always had unique vision. If you meet these four people, I'm afraid they are not just arrows, right?" Li Shimin said with a smile.
Li Chao bowed, "When you go back to your Majesty, these four sons are all outstanding in their ambitions. Wang Xuance, the magistrate of Huangshui County, Liu Rengui, the magistrate of Chencang County, Gao Kan, and Fengqiu County. Shangguan Yi was originally a descendant of an official. He had shaved his hair and became a monk for some reason. Now he is a secular person and has the ambition to join the army. These four people all have the intention of guarding the border for the country."
"Good ambition."
Li Shimin couldn't help but give him a thumbs up after hearing this.
"Such aspiring young talents cannot let down their passion. Wenyuan, since they abandoned literature and martial arts, then you should accept them as your disciples and teach them personally. You must teach me four famous generals from the last court for me!"
"Your Majesty, it's the same for getting into the martial arts lecture hall." Li Chao said with a smile.
"How can it be the same? These four are good seedlings and have ambitions and cannot be disappointed. You teach yourself and teach according to your aptitude. You must polish them into the best!"
As he said that, Li Chao replied with a smile.
"What are you four still standing there? Li Xiangguo has promised to accept you as his personal disciples. This is a rare opportunity. Most people don't want to join his disciples."
As soon as Li Shimin said this, the two generals of Hou Junji and Zhang Liang on the other side felt their faces burning. The emperor was like this last time, and asked them to worship Li Chao as his teacher to learn military tactics. As a result, Li Chao didn't teach them, and in the end they even lost their faces, which became a big talk in Chang'an City.
But now, Li Chao happily accepted four young people as his disciples.
One county magistrate, two county magistrates, and one is a monk who has just returned to secular life.
Hou Junji was cursing in his heart.
Li Chao, isn't I better than a small county magistrate? I'm the general and the Duke of the State.
Wang Xuance and the four young men also felt happy and fainted. They had to see their idol Li Chao first, and now they were summoned by the emperor. What was even more incredible is that the emperor actually came forward for them personally and asked Li Xiangguo to accept them as disciples and teach them the art of war.
"Student Wang Xuance!"
"Student Liu Rengui!"
"Students talk loudly!"
"Student Shangguan Yi!"
"Meet the teacher!"
Four young men pushed the golden mountain and turned the jade pillar, knelt in front of Li Chao, and solemnly kowtowed to Li Chao to become a disciple.
When the first kowtow, the four of them were Li Chao's official disciples, which was different from the Li Chao students in the martial arts hall. These days, the master is like his father, and the master has great control over the disciples.
Of course, they kowtowed and worshiped their masters, and they would definitely learn more.
On the competition field.
Countless candidates looked here. Although they were too far away just now, they could not hear what the emperor, Li Xiangguo and the four lucky candidates were saying, but now they saw them kneeling down to Li Xiang, how could they not understand the truth about what happened?
What a lucky guy, he was favored by Li Xiangguo and became Li Xiang's disciple.
There seemed to be only seven military sects whom Li Xiang had collected before.
Princess Pingyang, Su Dingfang, Cheng Chumo, Niu Jianhu, Li Gan, Yuchi Baolin and Cui Yan, now four more were collected. The seven before, except for the eldest princess, were all very impressive.
Su Dingfang, now a senior general with a third rank, is the governor of Zhenbei, the governor of Lingzhou, and the title of Duke of County.
Cheng Niu, Li Cui Yuchi, all of them were actually awarded earls and fifth-rank generals.
Now these four lucky guys have been taken over as disciples of Li Xiangguo. It’s really a ancestral tomb!
Li Chao now has many disciples, some of whom are studying literature and some are studying martial arts. The one who learns martial arts is Su Ding Fang Cheng and the others. They are a little older and are now all in the court. Those who learn literature are much smaller.
For example, if Lai Heng Lai Ji Pei Xingjian, the prince and the Chai brothers, etc., if those little princes are included, Li Chao's subordinates will be very lively.
Wang Xuance and the others were extremely excited. Even though they could die, they had no regrets. The other candidates were full of envy. Before the exam was finished, these four guys had already entered Li Xiangguo directly with their excellent archery skills and were summoned by the emperor. What a great honor.
As far as you can reach the sky, you will go directly to heaven.
No matter how bad the other exams are, it doesn’t matter. They all become Li Xiang’s disciples and will never have any worries in their life. It will not be a problem to be granted a marquis and a duke in the future. Look at those Li Xiang’s disciples, they have already gone from Bai Ding to a real-time earl at the age of seventeen or eighteen.
That Su Dingfang used to be a rebel, but now he is actually a county duke, a magistrate of Zhenbei, a governor of Lingzhou, and a border general who holds real power.
"Since you have joined my disciples, you should remember that you must be loyal to the emperor and patriotism, guard the border and protect the people. This belief must be unswerving in this life!"
Accepting four disciples is not as simple as accepting four students. This is not the vague relationship between students and teachers in later generations. In this era, teachers and students are the relationship between father and son.
Heaven, Earth, Lord, Parents, Teachers, Heaven and Earth are at the forefront, then the monarch, then the father, and then the teacher. From the moment they become a relationship for life.
After the four of them, no matter where they go, they will carry the imprint of Li Chao's disciple, which will never be changed. If they go against Li Chao, they will even be labeled as the bad reputation of bullying their masters and destroying their ancestors.
"Go and have a rest, and then you will have an exam. Although you have already joined me, the exam must still be fair. If you do not take the other exams well, you should not be admitted to me in the end, let alone enter the martial arts lecture hall. Go and show your best condition. Don't let people say that I, Li Chao, took a look!"
The four young men were full of fighting spirit and were ready to go.
Li Shimin saw Hou Junji's face flushed and his eyes were blistering.
"Wen Yuan, why do you value these four young people so much? When I asked you to teach Hou Junji and Zhang Liang the military tactics, you seemed to be unhappy?"
Li Chao had also seen Hou Junji's constipated expression.
"Your Majesty, in addition to finding a talented person, you also have to look at the teacher's moral character. If you have both virtue and skills, you can be a teacher. Similarly, choosing disciples depends on their qualifications, but also on their character. If you have talent but have no character, then such a student cannot teach you. If a person has a bad character and teaches him the best military strategy, isn't this a behavior of being responsible to the king and the people?"
Seeing that Li Chao was so rude to Hou Junji in his words, Li Shimin smacked his lips and coughed twice, forcibly stopped the topic. He was worried that if Li Chao's mouth would continue to speak so harshly, Hou Junji rushed over from the side.
Where did Hou Junji offend Li Chao? It was impossible that Hou Junji was just because of the rude behavior of Hou Junji in the Li Mansion that day? A sudden light of inspiration flashed in Li Shimin's mind. He remembered that Li Chao would be angrily and look at his face. Li Chao once said that he would be the emperor and predicted that when Taibai met Qin, the King of Qin would have such a strange phenomenon and heavenly change.
He also said that Fang Xuanling would become the prime minister.
Could it be that Li Chao had already seen that there was something wrong with Hou Junji based on his look and face? Based on today's words, will Hou Junji rebel in the future?
Li Shimin lowered his face and slowly pondered about this matter in his heart.
