Chapter 2 3 Zixuan!

In the second year of the Holy Calendar, there was civil strife in Uzang in the northwest. Qi Nuxunong was promoted to the position of Zanpu. At the same time, he worked hard to govern, reformed internal affairs, and promoted young people to advance. Uzang's national power became strong.

At the same time, Tang fought with Wu Zang in Longxi, and Tang was defeated by Wu Zang at the hands of an unknown major general named Da Lun Qin Ling.

Longxi suffered continuous destruction.

In the same year, in the north, the Turkic Empire's army pressed forward, and the Tang Dynasty was defeated again, with more than 200,000 casualties.

General Zhao Xiang died in battle!

In the northeast, Goguryeo was watching with eager eyes, and everyone from Youzhou to the camp in the north was invaded by it.

Datang is in crisis on all sides and is in urgent need of change!

In the second year of the Holy Calendar, Wei Yuanzhong was in Bingzhou, and in the first year of Jiushi, he was in Xiaoguan. In May of the first year of Dazu, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty moved Yuanzhong back to be the general manager of the Lingwu Dao march, running east and west without being attacked. In August of the same year, he heard that the Turkic generals were attacking the border. The Tang Emperor was furious and ordered the Prime Minister to be the Protector of Anbei and the Marshal of the Tianbing Road. He commanded the armies of Yan, Zhao, Qin and Long to attack him.

The Turks knew that China was well prepared, and the invaders retreated quickly before the king's army came out.

Hearing this, the Emperor of Tang Dynasty was angry but not angry. Soon after, in the first month of the second year of Chang'an, the martial arts competition was held for the first time...

In order to expand the influence of the martial arts competitions, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty strictly ordered all clan members, including princes, to participate in the martial arts competitions, and be rewarded and punished based on their performance.

In this way, we can lead the world and make all people follow suit...

Time passed slowly. In March (the 21st year of Emperor Tang Dynasty), the earth returned to spring. The yellow forsythia that had been beaten by frost in winter has also regained its vitality and bloomed with gorgeous dances, decorating the royal racecourse in the western suburbs of the capital. It's like a golden ocean.

At this moment, a young man in brocade clothes, full of vigor and arrogance, was galloping on the royal racecourse. Next to the royal racecourse, there is a spacious training ground adjacent to it. There are also groups of brightly dressed young people holding longbows, shooting from a distance, from a horizontal position, or from a barrel.

In the middle of the royal racecourse and the spacious training ground, there stands a gorgeous and eye-catching high platform. If you look carefully, you can see flags on both sides and dragon clouds rising into the sky, facing the wind majesticly.

On the high platform, two officials in purple uniforms stood on the edge. Their sharp eyes looked at the young men in brocade clothes who were shooting arrows at the royal horse racing field and the wide training ground.

Those wearing purple clothes are all of level three or above.

"Master Wei, after seeing today's archery,

I finally understood why there were so many candidates but none of them passed. "

On the left, the middle-aged man in purple clothes who looked like a scholar, frowned slightly, looked at the scene in the spacious training ground, and said.

Although the field was full of children from royal families and the archery skills were taught by teachers with excellent martial arts skills, the final results were disastrous. Once the distance exceeded fifty steps, the arrows almost missed the target, let alone those in the royal racecourse on the other side. Riding and shooting.

"I feel relieved when Master Zhou understands. Swords and swords have no eyes on the battlefield, and joining the army is not a game. No one will show mercy just because of their noble status. Moreover, soldiers will only listen to those with strength, even if they are nobles, it will not work!"

Wei Yuanzhong withdrew his eyes from scrutinizing the young people in the field, and said to Zhongshu Ling Zhou Sheng beside him.

As the general manager of the Lingwu Dao march, Wei Yuanzhong exudes an aura of having been on the battlefield for a long time, which is intimidating. Standing next to Zhou Sheng, he forms a sharp contrast.

"Your Majesty, don't bother Mr. Wei. When I bring the news back to the palace, I believe that it won't be long before private martial arts test points are opened one after another, and Mr. Wei no longer has to guard these children of the royal family."

Zhou Sheng said.

The original martial arts examination was decided to be directly selected among the people. However, later, the Emperor of Tang issued a decree that it must be tried out from all the children of the royal family and aristocratic families. For this reason, the Emperor of Tang also recalled Wei Yuanzhong, the general manager of the Lingwu Dao Marching, for supervision. . However, after several rounds of tests, Wei Yuanzhong reported that the royal family had no talents. Emperor Tang was so angry that he sent Zhou Sheng to personally check the results of the test.

The martial arts examination is divided into archery, including horse shooting, infantry shooting, horizontal shooting, barrel shooting, long stack shooting, as well as carbine, cross-bar, weight-bearing and other items. The body and speech are also reviewed, and they are divided into first, second and third grades. .

Just after watching the archery test, Zhou Sheng understood that all the children of the royal family in the field were unqualified. Except for that one, there was no possibility of becoming a general.

Instead of wasting time and conducting several rounds of tests, it is better to vigorously recruit talents among the people and train several outstanding military generals as soon as possible to fight against the Turkic invaders.

"Then there is Lord Lao Zhou."

Wei Yuanzhong bowed his hands to Zhou Sheng.

Immediately after him, Wei Yuanzhong waved his hand to summon a soldier wearing armor and ordered:

"Tell them they're all unqualified."

"yes!"

Seeing that Wei Yuanzhong had no intention of continuing the test, Zhou Sheng also realized what was going on, packed up and was about to leave. However, at this moment, there was a sudden noise in the Royal Racecourse, which instantly attracted the attention of the two people.

…

"Isn't that Prince Xuan? Haha, this is the first time I've seen someone fall asleep during the test!"

"How dare you come to the racecourse after causing so much trouble!"

"Hmph, if my father hadn't been thinking about Empress Dou De, he would have been beaten to death long ago."

"It would be better to be beaten to death! I heard from my mother and concubine that Empress Dou De was demoted to concubine because of that incident. She couldn't bear the blow and became seriously ill."

"How shameless!"

…

Looking at the focus of the noise, I saw a thin young man wearing a white-haired cloak sitting on a small resting platform set up in the Royal Racecourse. He had his eyes closed and his head was slightly hanging, as if he was asleep. .

Although spring has returned, there is still a hint of chill in the cool air. Many members of the royal family and aristocratic families in the royal racecourse are also wearing cloaks, but none of them are as tightly wrapped as the thin young man.

And looking at the slightly pale face of the skinny boy, it was obvious that he had been ill for a long time.

"Ahem!"

The spring breeze carried a bit of cold dew and hit the skinny boy, causing him to cough lightly.

However, in just a moment, the young man straightened up and opened his eyes. Endless brilliance seemed to burst out of his eyes, causing those around him to feel absent-minded for a moment.

However, in just a moment, the light in the young man's eyes quickly faded and returned to normal.

This person is exactly the unscrupulous person in everyone's mouth, Prince Xuan.

But at this time, he should be called...Li Taiyi!

A month ago, Li Taiyi woke up in this world, in the Tang Empire before its decline.

He didn't know what happened specifically, he just remembered that there seemed to be a strong force dragging him here.

He remembered that his lover Qing Luo was dragged here with him, but after searching for a long time, Qing Luo was not with him.

Li Taiyi spent some time understanding the world, and gradually adapted to his current identity.

——The third prince is feared by everyone because of his dandyism and violence. Not only that, because he killed Prince Shan, he is also known to everyone as the good-for-nothing third prince who is hated by his father.

But even so...he finally has a chance to change the fate of this world!

Li Taiyi's eyes sparkled, and an unprecedented ambition suddenly arose in his heart.

"Prince Xuan, this is your arrow."

At this moment, a guard stepped forward with a pair of bows and arrows in his hands and said respectfully.

For some reason, Prince Xuan seemed to feel a little different to him today.

Li Taiyi came back to his senses, said softly "Yes", quickly stood up and took the bow and arrows.

It stands to reason that Li Taiyi was mediocre in talent and had always been unpopular in the palace. He had previously killed Prince Shan and was punished with a stick by the clan. The chief of guards around the Tang Emperor personally supervised him. Now that he is weak, such a martial arts test would be difficult. It should have nothing to do with him, but because of the "begging" of several brothers, his father allowed him to "participate" in the test.

But even though he was participating, Li Taiyi knew very well that it was actually those "good brothers" who wanted him to come and embarrass himself.

Li Taiyi glanced at the people around him who were looking at him with sneers on their faces. His expression was calm. He just tightened his white-haired cloak and walked straight through the crowd to the martial arts archery point.

"Prince Xuan is going to shoot an arrow!"

"Hey, look at his posture, he's possessed by the God of Arrow!"

"Hahaha, Prince Xuan indulges in sex all day long, and his body has long been empty. It's already good that this arrow can shoot three feet!"

…

At this moment, a voice of unabashed conversation came to my ears.

Li Taiyi turned around and saw a group of people not far away from him looking at him with sneers on their faces.

And just not far from them, a familiar figure came into view,

He was a twenty-year-old young man with a majestic body, a dignified appearance, and eyes that shot into the cold stars. Although he did not join in the booing, the slightly raised corner of his mouth was also full of ridicule.

That person was none other than Li Taiyi, or Prince Xuan’s former friend, Huo Yuan, the son of Prince Xiang!

That's right, it was once.

Before the incident, Huo Yuan called himself brother and sister in various ways, but when Prince Xuan's incident happened and he was beaten to death by Emperor Tang, Huo Yuan, a loser, defected faster than anyone else. It would have been better just to join the camp of the fourth prince. However, he actually added insult to injury and revealed all the dirty information about "Prince Xuan" in the past.

It was because of those shady materials that the mother-in-law's already weak body was aggravated. She fainted on the spot and became seriously ill.

Huo Yuan was very scheming. Although he secretly took refuge with the fourth prince, he did not show it at all in front of Li Taiyi. He was still waiting for punishment as usual.

Not only that, Li Taiyi even knew that most of the people who showed up here to watch his jokes today were invited by him.

Huo Yuan thought he was hiding, so he kept "Brother Xuan" in the dark and acted like a monkey, but he couldn't hide it from "Li Taiyi".

"Your Highness, it's your turn!"

Seeing Li Taiyi looking over, Huo Yuan's smile disappeared and he immediately rode over, showing a lot of attentiveness.

"snort!"

For a moment, Li Taiyi snorted coldly in his heart and ignored Huo Yuan, but his eyes gradually became extremely cold.

The former prince Xuan was dandy and violent, causing everyone to look down on him. Even a mere minister dared to laugh at him. But from now on, he, Li Taiyi, will definitely impress everyone.

Thinking of this, Li Taiyi looked determined. After holding an arrow flower in his hand, he bowed left and right, concentrating on aiming at the bull's eye.

The moment Li Taiyi finished bending the bow and setting the arrow, his aura suddenly changed, as if he had changed into a different person, like a sharp blade, extremely sharp.

"Sa!"

In an instant, an arrow shocked the giant, causing ripples in the air, thundering and lightning, and the arrow pierced the bull's-eye.

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned and shocked and speechless.

But this is not over yet!

"Sa!"

"Sa!"

Just when everyone's eyes fell on the first arrow, in an instant, two arrows flew past their eyes one after another, leaving a sharp mark in the void and shooting towards the target.

No one expected that Li Taiyi's movements were so fast. Just as the first arrow was shot, the second arrow was already on the string and shot out. The whole process was clean and neat.

For a moment, the whole place was silent.

Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at the bullseye in the distance, their eyes showing shock and disbelief.

"His Royal Highness Xuan, shoot thirty!"

At this moment, the soldier who was keeping score in the distance suddenly shouted loudly. In an instant, it was like a huge stone smashing into the lake, causing a stormy sea.

"It's so, so awesome!"

"Is this still Prince Xuan?"

"How on earth did he do it?"

…

In an instant, everyone came to their senses and started talking in disbelief.

Li Taiyi's three arrows all hit the target, and none of them missed the mark!
