Among the ten subjects for selecting scholars, one is called physical strength. What does it mean? That is to say, this person is particularly good at fighting.
In the first year of the Sui Dynasty, when selecting scholars from ten subjects, the one who excelled in physical strength was named Cui Wei. He first served as Yang Guang's Qianniu bodyguard, and later he was transferred to Shangdang County and became the county magistrate.
Jun Cheng, this is the mayor.
After Cui Wei, those who rely on this subject to get ahead usually get a military position in the Hussar Mansion. There is no one more awesome than Cui Wei. Why? Cui Wei is the grandson of Cui Fuli, the head of the Cui family in Qinghe. He got this position by supporting Yang Ming with food.
In this subject this year, Yang Ming saw several famous names.
Shan Xiongxin, Xu Shiji, and Cheng Yaojin, who were from Jiyin County in Shandong Province, were recommended by Zhang Xutuo for their contribution in quelling the rebellion in Shandong Province.
A person from Taiyuan County, Yuchi Jingde, was recommended by Wang Rengong, the former governor of Mayi and now the minister of the Ministry of Punishment.
Beidi County, Hou Junji, the son of Feicheng County Duke Dingyuan.
Wuwei County, Duan Zhixuan, Jinyang Tongshou Pei Ji recommended.
In Hejian County, Liu Wuzhou was recommended by Yang Yichen, Minister of Zongzheng Temple.
Hedong County was recommended by Xue Ju and Xue Daoheng.
Qiaojun, Zhu Can, Yang Xuan were recommended for awards.
Is this the Eighteenth Route of Rebels gathering in the capital?
There is a school ground in Daxing City, where the Husbandry Mansion trains troops. It is certainly much smaller than the military camp outside, but it is enough for exams.
The subject of physical strength and arrogance is actually similar to the martial arts examination. The examiners responsible for this subject are neither the Ministry of Rites nor the Imperial College, because you are all civil servants, so who should be?
Yu Wenji.
The Sui Dynasty was a martial arts school, and this subject was the only one among the twenty-two subjects that had an audience. If there were an audience, you couldn't fake it.
And these audiences are not ordinary people, there are almost no ordinary people, and ordinary people cannot enter the school grounds of Hussar Mansion.
Yang Rui, a kid who finally left the palace, lost his temper. He didn't go back for more than a month, just waiting for Fang Xuanling and others to come back. Since there is such excitement in Husband's Palace, he must come.
Shimin also came with Yuanji and Li Zhiyun.
"Good guy, I have never seen such a strong person. Who is that person?" Li Shimin looked at a figure in the school grounds and exclaimed: "If I have such a person as my bodyguard, there is no place in the world that I can't go to." ?”
What is Yang Rui's identity? As soon as he comes, he has to go to the main seat and sit with Yu Wenhuaji and other assessment officials.
Li Min, the young minister of Weiwei Temple, smiled and explained: "This man's name is Yuchi Jingde. He is from Shouyang County, Taiyuan County, Shanxi Province. He is currently serving in the Mayi County Military Mansion."
The question was asked by Shimin, but Li Min's answer was for Yang Rui. They are related, and Li Min's mother-in-law is Yang Lihua.
Yang Rui nodded and said, "When you hear the surname Yuchi, you know where he is from. Was he recommended by Yang Yichen?"
Li Min smiled and said: "No, it was recommended by Wang Rengong of the Ministry of Punishment."
The surname Yuchi is a branch of the Xianbei people. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, they followed the Tuoba family and moved south into the Central Plains. They mainly lived in Taiyuan, Datong, and Shuozhou.
Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty actively integrated with the Central Plains. Many Xianbei surnames were changed to single-character Chinese surnames. The Yuchi surname developed into the surnames Wei, Chi and Hu. A large number of people still use the compound surname Yuchi.
Yuchi Jingde in the TV series looks like a bandit, and many people describe him as coming from a poor background.
is that true? His father, Yuchijia, had the title of Duke of Changning County. Just because he died early, he was considered poor. My ancestors have been high officials for three generations.
But Yuchi Jingde failed to seize the title, because the year his father died happened to be the first year of the Great Cause, and Yang Guang would not let you seize the title easily.
How can I become a prince? Even before your father died, he had already arranged it for you, and the position he had arranged for you was quite important and had a promising future. Then Yang Guang would let you take over. If you were still a little bastard when your father died, , then I'm sorry, you can become an official through filial piety and integrity.
Yuchi Jingde promoted filial piety and integrity, and mixed up with the captain Guoyi of the Hussar Prefecture.
As for Yang Yichen, the minister of Zongzheng Temple, his real name was Wei Chichen, and he was given the surname Yang by Yang Jian.
Yang Yichen and Yuchi Jingde were of the same clan and distant relatives.
So how come it was recommended by Wang Rengong? It was Yang Yichen who said hello. You recommend me and I will recommend you. Interests are exchanged.
"This man has won seven games in a row. His achievements in horse riding are unprecedented in his life." Li Shimin caught the eye of the opponent at a glance and said, "If he passes the exam, where will he be assigned?"
Li Min said: "This depends on His Highness the Crown Prince. He will go wherever His Highness wants him to go."
Li Shimin nodded Yang Rui with his elbow and whispered: "Give me this person. You can tell the prince for me."
Yang Rui said in shock: "I don't have the ability. You want it? You have to go."
Li Shimin knew that Yang Rui was particularly afraid of his father, so he could only sigh:
"This person is worth recruiting. Let's have a drink with him tonight?"
Yang Rui frowned and said, "I'm here to take an exam, wouldn't drinking cause trouble?"
Li Shimin chuckled and said, "I just want him to miss his job and fail the exam so that it can be my turn."
Yang Rui couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, okay."
Li Min on the side quickly pretended to be deaf. I didn't hear anything. Their conspiracy had nothing to do with me.
After the afternoon competition, Yang Rui asked Shimin to send someone to invite Yuchi Jingde out.
Li Er is also a well-known figure in the capital, and the errand boy is Li Xiaogong, who is one of his own and reliable.
That night, Yang Rui and the others met Yuchi Jingde in a box in Jinyang Tower.
When the latter knew that the person who invited him here was the crown prince's eldest son, he knew that he was in great luck and kept smiling and bowing.
"Okay, okay, I saw a strong man in the school today, and I just made a private appointment. Don't be restrained, just sit down." After Yang Rui asked the other person to sit down, he winked at Li Xiaogong.
Their mission today was to get each other drunk so that Yuchi would lose all the competition tomorrow.
Li Xiaogong was the one in charge of drinking. It’s hard to describe the drinking capacity of Yang Rui and Li Shimin. Li Shimin was better, but Yang Rui completely inherited his father’s habit of getting drunk as soon as he drank.
In the subject of physical strength and arrogance, you can win eight out of ten games. This is the first level. You are qualified to enter the palace and will be tested by the prince himself.
Those with less than eight wins and more than six wins are classified as Class B, and Class B is assigned to the Ministry of War.
Yuchi Jingde himself is the captain of Guoyi, and his rank is quite low. If he can get a B-level exam, he can get a good position. If he can get an A-level exam, he will be even more awesome. He can enter the emperor's left and right bodyguards as a Little boss.
And he just won seven games today. If he loses all three games tomorrow, he will be in the second class. Shimin is the legitimate son of Tang Guogong, and he wants a second class to be his bodyguard. This is an easy back door.
Li Xiaogong himself was a big drinker and quite capable of drinking, so the few of them started drinking while chatting about some nonsense.
Then Li Xiaogong became drunk and vomited all over the box.
Good guy, or a drunken gallant? Li Shimin was not convinced. After changing the box, he called a wine master from Lao Li's family.
Li Zhi.
Li Zhi is the grandson of Li Hu and the cousin of Li Yuan. This man has never been an official in his life. He relies on his ancestors' wealth to live a comfortable life.
Generally, idle people like this who have nothing to do like to drink, and Li Zhi is no exception. This person is quite famous for his drinking capacity in the capital.
As soon as he arrived, Yuchi Jingde met his opponent, and Li Zhi was particularly good at talking. In heaven and on earth, throughout the ages, what he said to you was ridiculous. Yang Rui and the others had completely forgotten the purpose of tonight. , just listen to the other party's nonsense.
As a result, Yang Rui and Li Shimin were also convinced by Li Zhi.
But Li Zhi retired after his success, swaying and humming songs, and went home.
Yang Ming is very concerned about the subject of physical strength. After all, there are too many awesome people in it. But when he checked the progress of the exam today, he found that Yuchi Jingde had been dismissed.
Does this person have a false reputation? Isn't it very fierce? Is this not as good as that Cui Wei who can fight?
Yang Ming put the file aside and smiled.
He was interested in Yuchi Jingde, but he only wanted to see how capable the other party was. Historically, Captain Chi Jingde followed Liu Wuzhou in rebellion, and after being defeated by Li Shimin, he became Li Shimin's man.
Liu Wuzhou also came to take the exam in this life, and the other party should have no chance to rebel.
If he doesn't rebel, Yuchi Jingde will be destined to lose everyone.
At noon, Yang Ming was taking a nap with Pei Shuying in his arms, when Liu Hongji came.
I saw the other party saying with a bitter face: "The night before yesterday, King Qin and Shimin were both drunk. They woke up all day yesterday and are still vomiting up to now."
The affairs of Jinyang Tower are under the control of Liu Hongji in the East Palace.
Yang Ming smiled bitterly and said, "How much did they drink to become like this? Didn't Yu Wenlan keep an eye on them?"
Liu Hongji said: "The King of Qin is meeting friends in the private room, and Yu Wenlan dare not disturb him."
"Friends? What kind of friends do they have?" Yang Ming asked in surprise.
Liu Hongji said: "It's a scholar named Yuchi Jingde who participated in the scientific examination. Also drinking with him was Li Zhi from Longxi. He was the son of Li Hui, the general manager of Xiazhou during the Kaihuang period."
Yang Ming understands everything, good guy, was this Yuchi Jingde so drunk by you that he lost the last three games?
No wonder after winning seven games in a row, there will be a losing streak. What the hell are you doing?
As for Li Zhi, Yang Ming knew it, because his son was Li Daoxuan, the king of Huaiyang, who was sold by Shi Wanbao and died in the hands of Liu Heitai.
Understand, this is a wine mengzi specially found to drink Yuchi Jingde, right?
Yang Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Pei Shuying on the side also laughed and said:
"Ying Hui is nine years old. Apart from his studies, he can no longer be restrained in other places. There is really no need for Yin Jiang to go out of the palace to get people."
Yang Ming smiled and said: "Ying Hui is afraid of me, but not Yin Jiang. It's still unclear whether she can catch him."
At this time in Jinyang Tower, after Yang Rui learned that his mother-in-law came to him in person, he jumped out of the window and ran away with Shimin and three or five followers, leaving Li Xiaogong alone, who was given to him by Yang Yinjiang. Ten sticks.
Yu Wenlan was also punished.
"Search for me, even if the capital is scraped, I will find the prince back to me," Yang Yinjiang became really angry.
