Xianwu Datang: Start with the rich woman

chapter 10

The Shence Army is the imperial army stationed in the inner city of Chang'an, responsible for defending the imperial palace, and it is also the most rigorous army in the Tang Dynasty.

Unfortunately, similar to the chaos in the late Tang Dynasty in history, the Shence Army was gradually taken over by the emperor's most trusted eunuch Qiu Shiliang, and gradually built into the strongest imperial army with [-] warriors.

The emperor was forced to reuse Jingzhao Yin and Li Mao, and entered the inner city to check and balance the Shence Army through the Jingzhao Sixteen Guards, which had a larger number of security forces.

As a result, the sixteen guards soon got too big, broke away from the emperor's control, conscripted troops in the counties under their jurisdiction, and took charge of the outer city and county administration.

With Qiu Shiliang's Shence Army one inside and one outside, the emperor was completely emptied.

The world outside Chang'an City has long been in a chaotic state of vassals and towns. Except for the areas controlled by the eight major garrisons outside the city, the rest of the country is no longer under the control of Chang'an.

Thinking of this, Chen Yanjun couldn't help feeling emotional.

"The revival of spiritual energy did not solve the long-standing social conflicts in the Tang Dynasty. Now only relying on the Tianyuan Palace hanging above Chang'an City, the imperial power of the Tang Dynasty is barely maintained."

But in the past 500 years, no one has seen the late emperor and imperial concubine appear. During this period, the eunuchs and treacherous officials did a lot of excessive things, and the late emperor did not come out. No one knows if he is still alive.

Some people even suspect that the revival of spiritual energy 500 years ago is likely to be a change in the world and has nothing to do with the Li Tang Dynasty.

After all, the early Tianyuan Palace had pillars...

Of course, in the past few decades, the prison division formed by the eldest princess Li Yue, and the ten leaders of the East Palace personally trained by the prince, have improved the imperial power a little... but it has nothing to do with the emperor himself.

In the inner city, Eunuch Qiu's status is still comparable to that of Prime Minister Cao.

The combination of the other major forces prevented him from going berserk...

Three provinces, six ministries, nine temples and five prisons, and even the eight major garrison troops stationed outside the city, most of them took refuge in the Shence Army, and a few took refuge in Jing Zhaoyin.

Daming Palace Town Prison Division, East Palace Ten Commanders, barely able to maintain independence.

The power still in the hands of Emperor Tianshun himself, only a few departments such as Sitianjian, Guozijian, Military Weapons Supervision, etc., also rely on the political legacy left by the late emperor.

It can be seen that power is the most important thing in any era, and the loss of military power is a major event that almost destroys the country for the emperor.

The group power of cultivators, especially Wufu.

No matter which line of mainstream practice in the officialdom, the armies of each branch of the Tang Dynasty will always be dominated by martial arts practitioners.

This is true of the 20 Shence Army and the [-] Public Security Army of Jingzhao Yin's Sixteen Guards.

The reason is very simple, martial arts are easy to learn but hard to master, and the talent requirements are low, and low-quality martial artists can be systematically trained in batches.

A sufficient number of low-grade warriors gather together and rush forward, just like the tide of beasts in a comprehension novel, enough to shake the high-ranking powerhouses.

"Shen Ce Military Physical Skills General Code" is the most effective way to practice martial arts for beginners in Tang Dynasty, and at the same time, it must be supplemented with a certain amount of spiritual and physical supplements.

Although the "Tong Dian" is suspected of being broad and not professional, it can improve the physique of the practitioner as quickly as possible, so as to lay a solid foundation, and the future practice of high-level physical skills will be more effective with half the effort.

In fact, "Shen Ce Military Sports Manual" is a secret book in the army, and it is forbidden to spread it outside.

Chen Yanjun's book was obtained by Cui Yourong through his grandfather Cui Wanjun in the army.

Practicing martial arts is boring.

Chen Yanjun started from the most basic movements.

Step, stab, circle, fist, palm, leg, foot, twist, throw, throw, elbow, point, push...

One move at a time, sweating profusely.

The movements in the army are mainly based on actual combat, with both strength and ingenuity in the movements, but the aesthetic feeling is somewhat lacking.

The basic movements are too simple, and there is no rustling and bang sound in the legend.

After a little practice, Chen Yanjun became hot all over, and the pores all over his body opened, like a window was opened in his body, the breath penetrated, and the blood boiled.

Soon, in the column of skills on his panel, there was an extra physical skill.

[Physical Technique: 29/100 (First glimpse of the door)]

[Physical skills +1, progress 30/100 (first glimpse)! 】

[Physical skills +1, progress 31/100 (first glimpse)! 】

[Physical skill +1...]

Facts have proved that looking at the panel to add some martial arts is addictive.

Especially practicing martial arts in the state of looking at the mountain is not a mountain, as if you are subduing demons.

In the backyard, maids, nurses, servants... came and went, but Chen Yanjun didn't notice it.

Unknowingly, he practiced for a day.

At dinner time, Xiaoyue brought the food.

It's a whole donkey's hind leg barbecue!

The diet of the Tang people was deeply influenced by the Hu people. It is very common to roast whole lamb and roast donkey legs.

This time Mrs. Cui cooks for herself.

Madam usually thinks that she is too plump, and has always been a vegetarian, and rarely eats meat... Occasionally roast meat, the taste is hard to describe.

Fortunately, the roasted donkey legs are rich in nutrition.

[Physical skills +1, progress 36/100 (first glimpse)! 】

[Physical skills +1, progress 37/100 (first glimpse)! 】

[Physical skill +1...]

After eating donkey meat, drink some spiritual tea and continue to practice.

Soon, the title has a new change.

[Physical skill +1, progress 50/100 (small success)]

After only practicing for one day, I have accomplished a little.

Plus, it's awesome...

Chen Yanjun has a great sense of accomplishment.

Under the setting sun, the clothes were soaked in sweat, and the thin white skin was tightly wrapped, revealing the outline of muscles.

In the distance, across the bamboo grove and the screen window, Cui Yourong was watching from the bamboo house with his hands behind his back, his face blushing.

On the side, Xiaoyue asked curiously:
"Is it true that the fortune teller said that the young master is a nobleman, or is it true that the lady just looks at the young master's handsome face?"

Cui Yourong frowned, showing dignity.

"You're getting more and more outrageous...of course it's true!"

Xiao Yue suddenly laughed and said:
"But madam has never told me about fortune-telling. I made up my own nonsense about the nobleman."

Cui Yourong's tone was suffocated, and he was stunned for a while before he let out a long sigh:
"It was the horse that night that drank."

After speaking, immediately change the subject.

"The change of state of mind after life and death triggers a new understanding of the art of nourishing qi. It makes more or less sense, but it can cause changes in physique. Why?"

Xiaoyue clapped her hands and said:
"Yes, yes, the son's figure is getting better and better, does the lady like it?"

"Speak up!"

Cui Yourong's eyes moved slightly, melting into the sunset.

"In that case, take your son to Lingquan to try to wash the marrow."

Xiaoyue was surprised and said:
"The Lingquan has never been used by the master before his death..."

Cui Yourong said:
"Master's physique is weak, washing the marrow with Lingquan will only have the opposite effect, but the young master... has been completely reborn."

……

Inner City North.

Tai Chi Palace, where the emperor lived.

Peace Palace, inside the courtyard wall.

There are two people separated by two feet, and they are fighting with swords.

One is a delicate woman in a long yellow dress, dressed as a court lady, with shock in her eyes.

The other is a middle-aged eunuch.

"The way of the sword lies in the speed of the sword, the sharpness of the sword edge, the change of the sword move, the coercion of the sword holder, and the aura of the sword itself..."

"Princess, if you talk so much, it's better to use your sword. A real swordsman speaks with his sword, not with his mouth."

"Eunuch Qi, you speak with a sword, let me listen!"

brush--

Cold light flashed.

Eunuch Qi's sword was even faster.

The princess's sword was a beat slow after all.

So much so that when it was only half drawn, the hilt made a bang.

boom!
A marble exploded and shot out, hitting Eunuch Qi's spirit armor.

Blast Eunuch Qi three feet away, smashing a big hole in the palace wall.

"Princess, you—"

"My sword also spoke... bang."

The young woman dressed as a court lady is none other than Emperor Tianshun's second favorite, Princess Ping An, Li Chan.

Ninth-rank swordsman and martial artist, minor artisan spirit craftsman.

She is also a student of the Imperial College, but she skips classes a lot, so it is difficult to see her in the Imperial College.

Princess Ping'an is as thin as a bamboo, but she is quite handsome in some places, her eyebrows are like distant daisy, her eyes are like autumn water, and she is dressed as a court lady, which can't hide her amazing smile.

"what?"

Turning his head, he saw a girl with an extremely cold complexion and a fairy-like gait, appearing in the yard.

"Xiaoqiu is here!"

The princess put half of the sword back into its sheath, and greeted it happily.

Du Qiuzhuo bowed to the princess with his arms crossed.

"Du Qiuzhuo of the Imperial Beast Academy, please greet Princess Ping An."

"What Princess Ping An, didn't I tell you to call me Chanchan?"

Li Chan complained, and immediately paced back and forth.

"The cold food festival called you to come to the palace to play, but you didn't want to, so now I'm here... I guess, someone must have proposed marriage to you, right?"

Du Qiuzhuo sighed helplessly:
"Princess is wise."

"I won't listen, I want to say Chanchan is wise!"

"……I'm leaving."

Seeing that Du Qiuzhuo turned around and really wanted to leave, Li Chan hurriedly stepped forward and dragged her back.

"Look at you, you're petty!"

"Speaking of which, who proposed marriage to you this time?"

Du Qiuzhuo's complexion is cold, but his eyes are cold.

"The second son of Zhang Jiancheng's family."

Li Chan thought for a while.

"Although Cui Jianzheng's official position is higher than that of Zhang Jiancheng, but Zhang Jiancheng is the father... No, now he belongs to Eunuch Qiu, and he offended Eunuch Qiu, and your grandfather's prison will not be long... . . . this is difficult."

"Even if it's a princess, it's very difficult!"

Facing the princess's crazy suggestion, Du Qiuzhuo had no clue at all.

"What does the princess want?"

Li Chan waved his hand to send Eunuch Qi away, complaining:

"It's so boring in the palace. If I don't get married, I will die."

"It's a pity, I'm not like you, every day people step through the threshold to propose marriage."

"If you want me to say, the number one strange thing in the Tang Dynasty is that the princesses can't get married every day!"

"It's been more than 500 years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and [-] years since the revival of spiritual energy. Those big dogs still look down on my Li family dynasty. They just broke the clan one by one. Is it possible that they want to continue the incense for thousands of years?"

"The common people are afraid that the princess of the Li family will be savage...it's all prejudice! My palace is gentle and heavenly, okay?"

Li Chan patted her chest and said confidently.

Du Qiuzhuo was slightly taken aback.

"Princess, do you mean the last time you took the gunpowder barrel to heaven?"

Li Chan supported her forehead and hurriedly said:
"To make a long story short... I want to marry into your Cui family."

Du Qiuzhuo had a complicated expression.

"You want to marry my brother?"

Li Chan shook her head with disgust.

"Your brother is too lecherous, and he is not as good-looking as you."

"I'll marry the scholar who lives in your house."

"Let your mother adopt him as an adopted son and give him the surname Cui, then he will be worthy of Princess Li!"

Du Qiuzhuo:
"?"

Seeing no one around, Li Chan suddenly moved close to Qiu Zhuo's ear, and whispered:

"In this way we can play together every day, don't worry, it's just a fake marriage, I won't have sex with him."

There are no real lilies in this book. If you can't accept the jokes between girlfriends, or have other schemes like General Lu, please make a detour. There are thousands of books that don't start with lilies, and this is the one.
