In the south stand, Li Shimin listened to the cheers of the crowd and glanced at the elated Gao Yang. He secretly cursed Luo Zhang for being so lucky that he actually won.
Although he secretly scolded Luo Zhang for his bad luck, he was still very satisfied with Luo Zhang's performance.
You know, Luo Zhang was assassinated twice today. Even so, he still endured tenaciously and won the final victory. This is commendable!
Not only the royal family in the south cheered, but the entire competition ground was boiling. They cheered for Luo Zhang and cheered for Luo Zhang to bring them a gorgeous victory. Even the people from the north had to admit that Luo Zhang was awesome. !
At their age, let alone participating in the martial arts exam and winning the championship, they are not that proficient in martial arts.
Luo Zhang also felt excited. Labor and management have won, labor and management are the champions, grandma, aunt, aunt, Mei Niang, have you seen it?
I! Luo Zhang from the Luo family won the martial arts exam!
When Luo Zhang walked around the field with the cold silver gun and came to the west stand to stop, the grandma, aunt, aunt, Mei Niang, and others in the stand all stood up.
Their eyes were wet with excitement, their lips were trembling, they grabbed each other's hands and squeezed them tightly. It seemed that only in this way could others feel the excitement in their hearts!
"Old man, son, have you seen it? Luo Zhang won the first place in the martial arts exam, bringing glory to our Luo family and not disgracing the prestige of the Luo family. If you have souls in heaven, you must protect our Zhang'er! "Grandma put her hands together and prayed to the sky.
Several other aunts were also wiping their tears. Over the years, the Luo family has been suppressed and bullied. This is the first time they are so proud. To say they are not excited would be a lie.
Although Luo Zhang couldn't see his grandma and others, he understood his thoughts. He could feel his grandma's mood, so he was very excited.
When Luo Zhang returned to the rest area again, he had not yet calmed down his excitement.
It wasn't until Eunuch Huang arrived to congratulate him that Luo Zhang woke up a little and hurriedly returned the gift!
"Come with me, His Majesty is waiting for you, you are the only one missing!" Eunuch Huang said with a smile.
Following Eunuch Huang, Luo Zhang came to the south stand. At this time, the place was full of people. The entire royal family, as well as the civil and military ministers, were all watching here, wanting to see the top three in this competition.
Of course, what they wanted to see most was Luo Zhang. When Luo Zhang appeared, they all stretched their necks to get a glimpse of Luo Zhang's face.
When passing by King Wei, Li Tai blinked at him and kept pointing in one direction.
Luo Zhang understood and looked towards where he was pointing, and saw a beautiful woman in light blue palace dress being teased by many people, making her face blushing with embarrassment.
"Gao Yang?"
Luo Zhang blinked and seemed a little unrecognizable. You must know that Gao Yang used to dress up as a woman. Later, although he changed into women's clothes when he went to Luo Zhang's house, Luo Zhang was repelling Gao Yang at that time, no matter how beautiful Gao Yang was. , in Luo Zhang’s view, everything is green.
But today, Gao Yang was dressed up and put on some light makeup, looking pure and cute. This was really beyond Luo Zhang's expectation. He didn't expect Gao Yang to have such a side.
Seeing Luo Zhang, some of the princesses beside him kept pushing Gao Yang, as if saying, look, Luo Zhang is looking at you.
This sentence made Gao Yang panic even more, and he didn't know where to put his hands.
Is this the lawless Gao Yang I know? That's not a mistake? Is this a person?
Luo Zhang became a little suspicious when he looked at Gao Yang who looked like this. The difference between the two was really too big.
Compared with that violent woman, the one in front of me is completely different!
But the fact is right in front of him. This is really Gao Yang. This makes Luo Zhang dumbfounded. He seems to be thinking about whether what is said in the history books is true. After all, the Gao Yang in front of him has no connection with the Gao Yang written in the history books. Come together.
With a dry cough, Luo Zhang covered up his embarrassment and walked to Li Shimin in three steps. He saw two people standing here, one was Duguhong and the other was Yuchi who had just been defeated by him. Pauline.
The two of them both smiled when they saw Luo Zhang's arrival. Duguhong did so after listening to his grandfather's words and seeing it with his own eyes, while Yuchi Baolin was convinced of Luo Zhang's feelings because of the relationship he had with Luo Zhang. .
As for why Changsun Chong is not here and only Duguhong is here, you have to ask Luo Zhang.
After suffering such a serious injury, it would be a ghost if he could still come here. At this time, Changsun Chong had already been sent out of Youwu Guard to find a famous doctor for treatment.
"You all performed very well in this martial arts competition. I am so relieved that there are so many young talents in the Tang Dynasty!" Li Shimin said with a smile, seeming to be really happy!
"This is your Majesty's good fortune. This is why our Tang Dynasty has so many talented people. It is truly a blessing to your Majesty!" A person standing at the bottom congratulated.
Luo Zhang raised his head and glanced, his heart moved slightly. Isn't this the old boy Li Ji? I didn't expect that this old boy was also first-rate in flattering. He was almost catching up with labor and management. He was a real rival!
"Congratulations to Your Majesty. It is indeed a blessing to our Tang Dynasty to have this talented person! A blessing to Your Majesty!"
Naturally, all the ministers followed closely and congratulated him. If he didn't sing a good show at this time, he would be an enemy of everyone.
Not to mention, there was a real naysayer. After everyone congratulated him, an old man with gray temples wearing a green robe and a scribe's hat came out of the crowd and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, it is true that the martial arts examination is used to select talents, but it is quite difficult. It's a bit extravagant, I hope your Majesty can be more frugal in the future."
Everyone looked intently, raised their eyebrows slightly, and then smiled bitterly.
Luo Zhang glanced at the old man and thought to himself, who is this, so awesome? Are you actually going against Li Shimin at this time? Don’t you want to mix it up?
However, the next moment, a personal name popped into Luo Zhang's mind, Wei Zheng?
Sure enough, after hearing Wei Zheng's words, Li Shimin looked angry, but he couldn't control it. He gritted his teeth and said, "Wei Qing's words are reasonable. I will definitely not be so extravagant in the future."
"Your Majesty is able to listen to what I said, which really makes me burst into tears. Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wei Zheng bowed excitedly.
Luo Zhang curled his lips, is this extravagant and wasteful? This is simply shabby, okay? Didn’t you see that Your Majesty didn’t even have any wine to drink?
This company commander, Sun Chong, has nothing to drink. How can he call it extravagant? This old guy really doesn't know how to praise, Luo Zhang secretly laughed!
Fortunately, he was just muttering in his heart, otherwise Wei Zheng would have had to quarrel with him for three hundred rounds!
"I am very happy that Luo Zhang won the championship this time. Yuchi Baolin and Duguhong also performed well!"
"Seal Yuchi Baolin as the captain of the Jinwu Guards, seventh rank! Bounty of two hundred taels, silk cloth, Shu brocade..."
"Seal Duguhong as the captain of the Zuowu Guards, ranking seventh in rank, with a bounty of one hundred taels, silk cloth, and Shu brocade..."
When the two heard this, they were overjoyed and knelt down to kowtow in thanksgiving. You must know that they had overcome many people's years of suffering.
One is a seventh-rank official, and the other is a junior seventh-rank official. It seems that the official positions are not big, but you must know that even the number one scholar in the imperial examination was only like this when he was first awarded, let alone a position in the military.
You must know that military positions can only be promoted based on military merit. They directly became captains, which is equivalent to saving five or six years of hard work. As long as their performance is not too bad, they can be promoted to captains in two years, right. For them, money is not important, time is.
This is the same whether in later generations or in the past. What matters in officialdom is who is young and powerful.
Yuchi Jingde was so happy to see His Majesty ennoble his son as Jinwu Guards School Captain.
This provoked Cheng Yaojin to mutter, "It's just a school captain. Look at your arrogance, making it look like your son is not a school captain."
Yuchi Jingde glanced at Cheng Yaojin and said with a smile: "Can the captain of the City Guards Department compare with the captain of the Jinwu Guards? Besides, this is the seventh rank, while Chu Mo is from the seventh rank, half a rank difference!"
Around them, a bunch of old guys saw the two people bickering and joined in. Every word you said to me almost turned this place into a vegetable market.
Li Shimin's face turned dark when he saw it, and he coughed. Eunuch Huang on the side shouted loudly: "Go down and receive the reward to express your gratitude!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Yuchi Baolin and Dugu Hongxi retreated in a noisy manner.
Yuchi Baolin left, and Yuchi Jingde had nothing to say. Everyone's eyes focused on Luo Zhang again, wondering how His Majesty would reward Luo Zhang.
