Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

In the inner garden, Li Shimin looked at Xue Li who lowered his head and quickly came to his senses.

Xue Li is only sixteen years old, how did he get his nickname?

The princes and the royal family have a tradition of choosing their first names before adulthood, but Xue Li's biological father died when he was young.

In such a declining family situation, there is naturally no one to take care of her, so the words she used before she became an adult are neither source nor necessary.

Looking at it this way, Xue Rengui had a hard time before he met me. Even the great generals were forced by life to study the theory of Feng Shui.

But now, I not only want him to focus on the military formation, but also to be both civil and military!

What Feng Shui says, you must stay far away!

Naturally, no one knows about Li Shimin's psychological activities.

Therefore, the inner garden fell into an eerie silence at this moment.

Xue Li lowered his head and was still thinking about why Rengui didn't say anything. He also wanted to see his archery skills.

Then he felt the little yellow door tugging at his clothes:

Xue Langjun, His Majesty called you, why didn't you answer?

The servants in the inner courtyard were all eager to answer with their own actions. Why were they not so lucky?

Do you still need to doubt His Majesty's archery skills? If you can make His Majesty happy with a few kind words, won't the future come to you?

Xue Li was really shocked at this moment, Your Majesty? He met the emperor so easily? That Qin King Li Shimin?

Then without much hesitation, Xue Li handed over his hands and said honestly:

Your Majesty, my surname is Xue Mingli, but my name is Rengui.

Li Shimin’s response was simple:

Only when people value benevolence can they be distinguished from animals and can they be polite.

Since etiquette is the name, you should know the value of benevolence, so I give you the epitome of benevolence.

This time, there was no need for Huangmen to remind him. Xue Rengui handed over his hand to thank him. The emperor's gift of a cousin was indeed not something that ordinary people could enjoy.

Xue Rengui was filled with doubts, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to ask those words again:

What do you think Rengui thinks of this archery technique?

What everyone didn't expect was that when faced with this simple question, Xue Rengui accepted the question. After receiving permission, he stepped forward to touch the shield, pulled out the arrow and weighed it, and even stepped forward to touch Li Shimin's strong bow. Then he replied:

Very strong.

So can the people.

The surrounding attendants all felt for a moment that they were underappreciated.

Why doesn't Your Majesty ask me?

A hundred steps can penetrate the poplar, a hundred shots can hit a hundred hits, the string is flawless, and the arrow must hit. These words have been spinning in my heart for a long time.

The names of Ji Chang, Yang Youji, Changsun Sheng, Li Guang and other marksmen used to pull and trample are also very familiar.

Is this how Xue Rengui, who has just been given a cousin name, creates trouble for His Majesty?

As a result, they saw His Majesty laughing and handing over the treasured bow:

Rengui, please come and try.

Xue Rengui licked his lips, cupped his hand casually to thank him, and couldn't wait to take the bow.

Next to it is a Fulu pot filled with arrows. The arrows are exposed and the arrows are all shining coldly.

Xue Rengui was even more satisfied. He twisted out an arrow with just one stroke. He bent the bow and nocked the arrow in one go. Then with just one glance, the arrow was like a thunderbolt. Just like Li Shimin, most of the arrow was buried in the shield. It was especially better than Li Shimin's arrow.

In the process, Li Shimin also used a stern look to force back the faintly surrounded Jinwu guards.

Judging from the posture with their hands on the ceremonial swords at their waists, most of them could attack this bold maniac with just one order from the Emperor of Tang Dynasty and chop him into pieces.

After making the Jinwu guards retreat with his eyes, Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh a little when he saw Xue Rengui's smug expression.

Sure enough, I still have the mentality of a teenager. If I gain something a little bit, I want to show it to everyone.

But it’s more fun to destroy this kind of mentality.

So Li Shimin immediately ordered:

Get the bow and arrows from my great commander-in-chief.

What finally appeared in front of Xue Rengui was a set of huge bows and arrows, which were at least 30% larger than the bow used just now.

The arrows are the same, thicker and longer, with four feathers on the tail. Each arrow also has the four lacquered characters Tiance General on it.

How majestic! Xue Rengui admired in his heart.

This time, Li Shimin stood aside politely and signaled to Xue Rengui that he could do whatever he wanted.

The sixteen-year-old boy almost couldn't wait to pick up the giant bow.

As soon as you get started, you will find that it is not easy. The bow is huge, so you have to find out how to exert force yourself. The bow and arrows are larger, which brings heavier weight.

Gritting his teeth and trying his best to pull away, he tried his best to aim. After finally letting go, Xue Rengui staggered, then quickly looked up and saw that the giant arrow had pierced the shield.

not bad.

It's a long way to go to me.

Li Shimin imitated Xue Rengui's evaluation and returned it again.

Faced with the unconvinced expression of the young man, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty laughed and took the giant bow. Then he motioned to the Jin Wu guards to take three shields and place them ten steps behind the shield that Xue Rengui shot through.

The familiar man took advantage of his waist to draw his bow, and the giant arrow turned into a meteor, easily penetrated the three layers of shields, and was nailed to the wall behind without stopping.

Xue Rengui opened his mouth wide.

At this time, Li Shimin seemed relaxed and happy:

When I was attacking Liu Heita, there was a very fierce Turk general under his tent. When we were fighting in Feixiang, this sudden general bullied me and went straight in. I used my bow and arrow to destroy the enemy with one shot.

The Turkic thief died in response to the string, and was penetrated by the arrow.

Then what? Xue Rengui couldn't help but ask. Military formation was still a very unfamiliar word to him.

Then? Li Shimin smiled slightly:

My troops are not convinced, and three generals came out to bully me into not holding on.

I just fired three arrows in succession, and the thieves were killed one after another. The thieves were afraid of the power of the arrows and did not dare to come out again.

Xue Rengui had envy written all over his face:

It's not the power of arrows, but the power of fear of His Majesty.

Li Shimin laughed loudly. This little god general seemed to be able to praise others.

So after thinking about it for a while, Li Shimin's words were quite straightforward:

There will be an opportunity to attack the thieves next year. Will Rengui be willing to join the expedition?

Even though he had never thought about it, Xue Rengui immediately understood what needed to be said at this time and bowed immediately:

I am willing to serve as a vanguard and retreat from our enemies in the Tang Dynasty!

Li Shimin laughed and pulled it up with one hand:

Compared to retreating from the enemy, I would rather be benevolent and open up new territories for Tang Dynasty and show off its power in foreign lands!

A quarter of an hour later, Xue Rengui walked out of the palace with a bow in his arms.

Looking back at the majestic palace gate, his head felt dizzy.

I can no longer remember all my thoughts about reviving the Xue family when I set off from Hedong.

Now Xue Rengui touched the bow in his arms, and then touched the Fulu arrow pot that matched the bow hanging on his waist, and he had one thought in his head:

I really want to die serving His Majesty.

When Xue Rengui returned to the post house, the post official told Xue Rengui:

You are already a student of the Imperial College, so go and move.

Xue Rengui knew that it was His Majesty's arrangement, and he felt increasingly grateful.

The luggage and luggage were so meager that it could even be said that the only valuable thing on his body was the bow and arrow given by him.

And the pony.

The pony itself was of good value, but after taking it across the Yellow River and the Weishui River, and successfully reducing the cost by nearly half, Xue Rengui would take it with him no matter what.

However, as it was getting late, Xue Rengui asked if he could stay for one more night and go to the Imperial College the next day.

The post official readily agreed. After all, there was a curfew at night, and it would be troublesome if he was bumped into by Xue Langjun.

Lying in bed at night, Xue Rengui tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. After all, today's experience was even more bizarre than the past sixteen years.

When his family fell into decline, he was summoned to the capital to see the emperor. He was given a cousin's name, tested his archery skills, and promised to join the army and die for the Tang Dynasty.

After the excitement fades, people worry about gains and losses, and in the quiet night, people's voices are especially clear.

Xue Rengui stood up on tiptoe, squatted at the foot of the door and listened with bated breath:

What is Xue Langjun's background that he was summoned by His Majesty?

Could it be...?

Impossible! How could His Majesty's heir be left behind in Hedong?

Wow, you are so bold, but I didn't say anything?

What? You're not...

What I meant was that Mr. Xue Langjun's family is kind to His Majesty.

Hmph!~

The chat between the two outside broke up unhappily, and Xue Rengui silently returned to bed.

Is your father kind to your majesty?

This conjecture is really ridiculous.

However, looking back on what happened today, Xue Rengui felt that this conjecture was not so ridiculous.

Spending the night with Xue Rengui was a tortuous and bizarre dream.

The next day, after simply packing up, Xue Rengui and the postman inquired about the location and went straight to the Imperial College.

The aroma of breakfast food on Chang'an Road in the early morning was so fragrant that it forced Xue Rengui's hungry stomach to fight with his hungry wallet for three hundred rounds.

In the end, his stomach won him over, so after asking about the price, Xue Rengui sat down carefully.

One dog leg, two meatballs, and a large bowl of steamed bun soup. Xue Rengui was sweating profusely after eating it, and he was so happy.

But in the end, the pleasure turned into pain when it came time to pay.

When Xue Rengui came to the Imperial College with a full belly, he saw a bustling Imperial College.

Master Yan is coming to teach you how to use glass!

Someone was running and shouting:

The transparent glass is our masterpiece in the Tang Dynasty! Master Yan said that it can benefit for thousands of years, but there is only one missing method. The one who can solve it should be famous throughout the ages!

So Xue Rengui saw the students shouting and running in the same direction. Finally, he finally stopped one of them, handed over his voucher, and asked where he was going.

This was a large room, and unexpectedly there were not many students. There was only a boy who was much shorter than himself, sticking his butt out and looking at the large sand table in the center of the room.

Today was only the second day in Chang'an. Xue Rengui planned to listen more and talk less, so he just focused on looking at the sand table, and soon he understood that this should be the terrain of Longyou.

Because there is a striking Chang'an marked in the lower right corner.

Going west from Longyou, Xue Rengui tried hard to dig through his memory. He remembered that there seemed to be a group of barbarians there, and they seemed to be called... Tuyuhun?

Could this be where military merit lies?

However, he did not take the initiative to speak. The young man over there, sticking his butt out and looking at the sand table, noticed Xue Rengui and immediately introduced himself in a chirpy voice:

I thought I was the only one in the newly opened military class at the Imperial College, but I didn't expect there were other classmates!

Dare I ask my brother's name? Your bow is really beautiful, but it's a pity that I'm not good at it. Instead, I have some attainments in calligraphy. Do you know calligraphy, brother?

By the way, my name is Pei Xingjian.
