Chapter 428: Dead horses are treated as living horse doctors

For generals, military arts are equivalent to the martial arts secrets of martial arts masters. Except for their sons and a few personal disciples, they will not easily teach them to others, let alone make their own military arts public.

In fact, this situation not only occurs in military generals, but also in scholars, such as those so-called aristocratic families. Their families have rich books hidden in their families, which are only for the study of disciples in the family, while scholars from ordinary families do not have a few books at all. In this case, the children of aristocratic families are naturally more dominant, which also makes the aristocratic families almost monopolize ancient education. If scholars among ordinary people want to read more, they can only rely on aristocratic families. This also allows the aristocratic families to further control the group of scholars and then control the officials in the court.

It is precisely because of the above that Li Shimin was worried that the generals were unwilling to teach their military tactics, so it would be fine for others to do so. The key is Li Jing. Speaking of his attainments in military tactics, Li Shimin also felt inferior to Li Jing. However, Li Jing's character is well known to everyone. It is probably not easy to make him willingly teach his military tactics to others.

Li Xiu pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled cunningly, "Your Highness, my uncle, the bearded guest of mine is generous by nature, and there seems to be nothing to keep him in mind, but he has a big weakness, that is, a good name. For example, when he risked his life to the Americas and brought back sweet potatoes and corn, it was actually just a word "name". In addition, I also heard that someone once learned military tactics from my uncle when he was young, hehe..."

At the end of the day, Li Xiu didn't say anything, but Li Shimin had already understood what he meant, and couldn't help laughing and said, "I understand, but that's the military strategy of your Li family. Do you teach me how to take away the things, don't you feel sorry?"

"What's there to worry about? I definitely won't want it anyway. In addition, my mother's two sons are civil servants. As for the remaining people in the Li family, none of them have become good. Who do you think he taught his military skills? I think he won't have to force him in the end, and he may also take the initiative to write it down and pass it on to the future generations!" Li Xiu spread his hands at this time.

Apart from Li Xiu, only Li Jing's sons were only the two sons of Hong Fu Nu, and none of the other sons had a good reputation. As the saying goes, the son did not teach, but the father was the fault of Li Jing, so Li Jing, was indeed a failure. Moreover, in the original history, Li Jing took the initiative to write his military strategy into military books, such as "The Mirror of the Six Army", "Yin Fu Ji", etc. Unfortunately, most of these military books were lost later, leaving only one "Li Weigong's Question", but it may have been written by someone in later generations in stolen Li Jing's name, which is a pity.

"Okay, since you say that, I'm not polite. However, Brother Yao not only learned military tactics from Qiuyanke, but also learned a lot of military tactics from his uncle Han Qinhu. He gathered the leaders of the two families and combined with his own wisdom, he could definitely be called the first person in the Tang Dynasty in terms of military tactics." Li Shimin praised Li Jing again at this time.

However, although Li Jing's military strategy is powerful, he is more confident in himself. If the two of them meet on the battlefield, he will have absolute confidence to win, because he is the kind of natural commander. As long as he reaches the battlefield, he will never lose to anyone. This is also the confidence he has built up in years of wars.

Next, Li Xiu and Li Shimin talked about publicly teaching military arts. Finally, Li Shimin decided to establish a special academy in the court, called the Martial Arts Academy, and then select young people from the nobles or the army to study in the Martial Arts Academy. The best candidate in charge of the Martial Arts Academy is naturally Li Jing. As for how to convince Li Jing, it is Li Shimin's business. Anyway, Li Xiu has already pointed out a clear path for him.

After talking about the Martial Arts Academy, Li Xiu took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, and then he spoke again: "Crown Prince, I'm here to find you today. I wanted to recommend Su Dingfang to you, but I didn't expect that in the end, I would create such an important thing as the Martial Arts Academy. But besides this, I have another thing I want to ask you for help!"

"Oh? Just say anything, as long as I can agree, I will never refuse!" Li Shimin was in a good mood at this time and was particularly generous to Li Xiu. He would not make such a promise easily.

"Does the prince still remember the monk who presented diamonds to you last time as Buddha's teeth?" Li Xiu said with a faint smile at this time.

"Of course I remember that last time you went to the prison of Dali Temple with Xuanzang to visit him. Could it be that you want to save him?" Li Shimin also asked with his eyes narrowed at this time. Although he had not ascended the throne, the monk Bo Po still committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. Generally speaking, he was definitely a dead end.

"Yes, if possible, I hope the prince can let that monk go!" Li Xiu nodded seriously and said.

Hearing that Li Xiu really made this request, Li Shimin couldn't help but frown, then remained silent for a while, and finally said, "Okay, if someone else said that, I would definitely not agree. But since Li Xiu, you said it, it's nothing to let him have a way out for your sake."

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Xiu smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness is wrong. You are not for my sake, but for the beautiful face. This monk must be alive!"

"What! Is there a way to save Lizhi in this monk?" When Li Shimin heard Li Xiu's words, he stood up excitedly, his face full of excitement. He was also full of guilt towards Lizhi's daughter, because he thought that it was because he had committed too many sins that God punished his children.

"I don't know!" Li Xiu shook his head helplessly at this time.

"What do you don't know?" Li Shimin was very dissatisfied with Li Xiu's answer, and asked back impatiently.

"I really don't know, Prince, you should still remember the Tai Chi that I asked Master Sun to teach Lizhi before. Although this kind of health exercise cannot cure diseases, it can enhance Lizhi's physique and reduce the possibility of her illness. The monk Bo Po also has a strange kung fu called yoga. There are many ascetic monks in Tianzhu who practice yoga all year round and have many magical effects, so I want Lizhi to practice it, it is best to combine it with Tai Chi, which may be beneficial to her." Li Xiu said the truth. When he saw Bo Po's magical yoga before, this thought arose in his mind.

"Can it work?" Li Shimin finally calmed down at this time, but he still asked with concern. After all, Lizhi was his favorite daughter.

"I don't know this, but this yoga is indeed quite magical. Bopo's yoga can make the whole person soft and boneless. No matter what kind of cell, he can't lock him up. When he was in the prison of Dali Temple before, he almost ran away." Li Xiu persuaded again.

"That monk has such ability? Why didn't I listen to Wu Lei's report?" Li Shimin said in confusion when he heard this.

"Haha, the escape from the prison cell is not a glorious thing for Wu Lei, and it is not a particularly important matter. I can only say that this monk has some strange skills. It is normal for Wu Lei to not report it, unless Your Highness personally asks him about this matter." Li Xiu smiled faintly. Wu Lei is not a fool. If someone knows that Bo Po almost ran away on his territory, his Si Zhuo's face would be lost.

"But is this yoga really that magical?" Li Shimin still asked worriedly at this time.

"Yoga is indeed very magical. The effect should not be worse than Tai Chi. There is no other way to cure the situation of the beauty. Why not let her try to learn it? If it works, it may make the beauty marry and have children like an ordinary woman. Even if it doesn't work, it should not be harmful!" Li Xiu said again. He was thinking of treating the dead horse as a living horse. Anyway, there was no other way.

Hearing Li Xiu say this, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh. Although he knew that he was telling the truth, he still felt uncomfortable. However, in the end, reason overcame the grief. He nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case, let Lizhi give it a try, but I can't believe in that monk, so you have to find a way to ensure the safety of Lizhi."

"I actually can't believe in that monk. Moreover, the beauty is too young. It's a bit early to practice yoga, so my idea is to first let someone learn yoga from Bo Po, first to see the effect, second to have a deeper understanding of yoga, and then teach yoga to the beauty as appropriate. Moreover, I have already thought about the candidates. One is Master Sun Simiao and the other is Xuanzang!"

"This method is good. Master Sun is proficient in medical skills and Taoist sects. Although Xuanzang is young, he is a knowledgeable monk. They should be able to distinguish the pros and cons of yoga. It is not too late to pass it on to Li Zhi when they mastered the yoga!" Li Shimin nodded repeatedly when he heard Li Xiu's words. Li Xiu's considerations were indeed more careful than ordinary people.

Seeing Li Shimin agreeing to his thoughts, Li Xiu was relieved. Li Zhi lived in his house for a while, and Princess Pingyang had already regarded her as her daughter. Li Xiu also liked her very much, so for the little girl's illness, Li Xiu almost gave up his all. However, Li Zhi's illness could only do his best and leave her fate. Whether she could get rid of her fate of death early depends on her own?

After talking about beauty, Li Xiu's purpose today has achieved all the goals. He also stood up to say goodbye, but at this time Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Li Xiu, wait a moment, I have something I want to discuss with you!"
