The construction of the imperial tomb began. Li Hong wanted to send someone who was trustworthy and capable to preside over the presidency. He originally wanted Zhang Zong to go there. After all, building the imperial tomb was a great achievement. If it could be completed well, Zhang Zong would be able to go smoothly in his career in the future.

However, after Li Hong and Zhang Zong finally discussed, both of them felt that they could not let Zhang Zong go. First, Zhang Zong was too young and was a son-in-law. The construction of the emperor was usually handed over to old ministers who were respected and close to the royal family, so they were finally sent to Wei Yiji, the Minister of Personnel. He was the son-in-law of Jiangxia King Li Daozong and an important official in the court, which was very suitable for this position.

Li Hong's ascension to the throne was very smooth. In fact, as long as Wu Meiniang did not make trouble, nothing could happen. After all, Li Hong has been the crown prince for so many years and has been in power for many years before, and has long won a large number of people's hearts and people's expectations, so the transfer of imperial power this time also seemed very smooth.

Speaking of which, this is also the first time in the history of the Tang Dynasty. Looking at the father and son of Li Shimin and Li Zhi, there is no need to say that Li Shimin was originally ascending the throne on the rolling heads and even killed his brothers with his own hands.

Although Li Zhi was not as bloody as his father, none of his brothers were worry-free. There were several rebels alone. In the end, Li Chengqian and Li Tai fought too hard, so he got a bargain. Moreover, after Li Zhi ascended the throne, he also cleaned up many people openly and secretly, such as Li Ke, Changsun Wuji and others, all of whom were victims of Li Zhi's firm throne.

In contrast, Li Hong's transfer of imperial power this time was much calmer. He was the eldest son and was appointed as the crown prince since he was a child, so there was no dispute about his position as crown prince. The only one who threatened him was Wu Meiniang, but she was a woman after all, and she was not convenient to show up in the harem. So as long as Li Hong sealed the palace gate, Wu Meiniang had no choice.

Li Hong did not do too well with Wu Meiniang. After all, the other party was his biological mother. As the emperor, if someone knew that he forced his mother, it would affect his reputation. So on the surface, Li Hong respected Wu Meiniang very much, and even occasionally went to Wu Meiniang's palace to pay tribute. But only if Zhang Zong and other close people knew that even if Li Hong saw Wu Meiniang, he would often just look at each other silently, and the mother and son didn't even say a word.

However, after ascending the throne, Li Hong's government affairs became heavier again. Even though Zhang Zong advised him to rest several times, Li Hong had no choice. Because there were too many things that he needed to deal with and he had to worry about in all aspects, so even if he had to rest, his mind couldn't stop, which made Zhang Zong very worried.

That morning, Zhang Zong came to the martial arts school as usual. During this period, he was mainly responsible for the affairs of the martial arts school. After all, the martial arts school has a great relationship, so he could not leave when he opened like the medical school. In fact, Zhang Zong was also prepared to stay in the martial arts school for a long time. At least he had to wait until the first batch of students graduated and entered the army before he could let go of the martial arts school.

Zhang Zong came to the martial arts school, but as soon as he got off the carriage, he saw Pei Xingjian's carriage also coming. This made Zhang Zong also look surprised. He immediately stepped forward and helped Pei Xingjian get off the car. At the same time, he also asked with concern: "Shisattva Pei, weren't you sick two days ago? Why didn't you rest at home?"

Pei Xingjian was in poor health. He had returned from the Western Regions to recuperate. Moreover, Li Zhi died some time ago. Pei Xingjian was under great pressure as an important official of the court. As a result, he also fell ill a few days ago. He also asked for a while for leave. Now his face still has a bit of illness, and it is estimated that the disease has not been completely cured.

Pei Xingjian took Zhang Zong's arm and got out of the carriage, and then replied with a smile: "I am used to working hard. I will get sick after lying in bed every day. Moreover, my illness has almost cured, so I will come to the martial arts school today."

"You don't have to worry. You're watching here. If something goes wrong, I'll notify you immediately!" Zhang Zong smiled again, but after saying that, he also helped Pei Xingjian into the martial arts school. Anyway, he has nothing to do now, so why not accompany Pei Xingjian to the school for a walk.

In fact, when Pei Xingjian was sick a few days ago, Zhang Zong had also visited the other party. At that time, Pei Xingjian asked him about the situation in the martial arts school. Zhang Zong also advised him to take care of his illness, but he didn't expect that he was still worried.

It is time for breakfast. After morning exercises, the students were all hungry and put on their chests on their backs. However, no matter how hungry they were, they were all honestly queuing in class units and then going to the cafeteria to have dinner in turn.

Speaking of the matter of queuing for meals, the school has also spent a lot of effort, because no matter the young people from the army or the children of noble officials, they have no habit of queuing. Don’t be surprised, there is no queue for meals in the army. Zhang Zong has confirmed this point. It is said that foods in the army are snatched, and if they can’t grab them, they will have to go hungry.

It is precisely because of this that when the school started eating, it was in chaos. People in the army took the lead in grabbing food. Of course, the nobles were not willing to let it go. There were countless conflicts over this. In the end, Zhang Zong asked someone to take a whip, which allowed these people to learn to line up honestly. When they entered the army in the future, they should be able to bring this habit to the army.

Looking at the students who were lined up to make food, Pei Xingjian also showed a feeling of emotion. Then he and Zhang Zong entered the cafeteria and checked the students' meals. The entire martial arts school, whether it was a teacher or a student, all of them ate in the cafeteria, and the food standards were unified, that is, what the students ate, others ate, and Zhang Zong would sometimes eat in the cafeteria.

The dietary standards in the cafeteria are quite high. There must be meat, mutton or pork at every meal. After all, as a general, you must not lose money in your diet, otherwise how can you have the strength to fight?

"Mr. Prince Concubine, many people now say that our martial arts school has a good diet, and this alone accounts for a lot of money. Do you think anyone will use this to attack our martial arts school in the future?" After leaving the canteen, Pei Xingjian suddenly asked with some concern.

"You don't have to worry about this. High-yield potatoes and corn have begun to be promoted. It is estimated that it will be promoted in Guanzhong and Central Plains this year. If there is too much food, I can't finish it. I can only feed the animals, and the price of meat will drop." Zhang Zong explained with a smile.
