Chapter 72: A certain veteran of the Xuanwu Army
The whole place was quiet.
Everyone, including Fang Ying, was shocked.
Follow King Qin?
Beat Liu Heita?
The current emperor Li Shimin was once titled King of Qin.
This disabled old man was actually once a soldier of the saint, and he was also affiliated with the ace among aces - the Xuanwu Army!
Strictly speaking.
Except for Hou Junji, all the cavalrymen present had to call others "senior"...
"General Hou, and this strong man!"
The old man pointed at Fang Ying and said loudly: "Your young master intended to do harm to the young lady, which prompted him to stop her. What crime is there?"
Hou Junji became angry and shouted: "You are outrageous!"
In his opinion, the brother and sister were nothing...people with no power and power, their life and death depended on his thoughts, they were like ants.
On the contrary, Fang wins.
Not only was he Fang Xuanling's son, he was also the emperor's consort, but he publicly challenged his authority, Hou Junji, and overthrew his entire team...
Put his face on the ground and rub it.
How is this possible?
He, Junji, will be the leader of the civil and military ministers in the world in the future, but now he is being taught a lesson by a mere fool, how can he lose his face?
"Old man, I respect you as a man, please get out of here quickly!"
Hou Junji had a sullen face and said coldly and ruthlessly: "If you hinder me from doing my job again, I will shoot you together!"
"Then come on!"
The old man raised his head stiffly, his beard and hair flaring: "When I was in the Xuanwu Army, I killed Liu Heitai and Dou Jiande. I broke a leg without even crying out in pain. How dare I be afraid of you, General Hou?!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was shocked.
The people who were originally scared were excited by the old man's words and all clenched their fists.
Looking at the old man's hunched back.
Fang Ying stood blankly, feeling a surge of heat in his heart...
Is this the Tang Dynasty?
Is this the pride of the Tang people?
A true warrior dares to face the bleak life and the dripping blood... An ordinary old man also dares to say no to the powerful. Huanghuang Datang did not disappoint!
at this time.
Hou Jun's face turned green with anger.
He was about to give an order.
Suddenly, three more people walked out of the crowd.
They also had white beards and hair, and wore the same coarse clothes, but their eyes also shone with the same brilliance as the old man.
"The General's Mansion, the veterans of the right army are here!"
"Chang'an Road, the veterans of the Flag Drum Army are here!"
"The Sixteenth Guards of Nanya, the veteran of the right guard is here!"
The crowd was instantly shocked again.
Hou Junji's cavalry suddenly broke into a commotion, and some even dropped their bows and arrows.
This is really...old pawn!
The words of the three people represent the military structure of the three periods of the Tang Dynasty.
When Emperor Longxing established Taiyuan, he abolished the government soldiers and turned them into private soldiers, established a general's palace, and established three armies on the left, center and right, led by Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji respectively.
The right army the old man called was led by Li Shimin himself!
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, in the second year of Wude, Emperor Gaozu divided Guanzhong into 12 provinces, each with an army and each army had a military number.
And the military bugle of Wannian County is the flag-drumming army!
During the Zhenguan period, the highest commanding department of the imperial army was set up as the Sixteenth Guards, and the right guard as the old man calls it is one of them.
The problem is that the cavalry on the opposite side are also right guards!
No matter what era you are in, in the military, people attach great importance to the concept of superiors and subordinates. Apart from officers, the highest status is the veteran... The old man in front of you is a right guard in the early years of Zhenguan, the senior among seniors...
This is also the reason why the cavalrymen were so morally confused that they unconsciously put down their bows and arrows.
"Right back! It's actually a right back!"
Hou Junji looked at the old man, gritted his teeth and roared: "I led the right guard from afar, and I actually taught a soldier like you. It is simply a shame for me!"
"General Hou, you are wrong..."
The old man shook his head and said: "After today's saint ascended the throne, you were first named General of the Left Guard, and later promoted to General of the Right Guard."
"When you came to the right guard, someone had already left..."
After Hou Junji heard this, he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
What they mean is obvious - when you came, I left. I am the old man on the right guard, and you are the one who comes later. Why are you dragging me?
Fang Ying was also stunned.
Thinking that this old man was too fierce, Hou Junji was stunned for a moment. He was indeed a ruthless man who followed Li Shimin through the country.
"Bold! Simply bold..."
Hou Jun was so angry that he was shaking all over and just said something.
at this time.
But I saw someone else walking out of the crowd.
They were two young scholars.
They held the scrolls in their hands, with a lingering look of fear on their faces, but their eyes were extremely determined. They walked up to Fang Ying, bowed and bowed with their hands in hand.
"Brother Fang is so noble, my younger brother is so ashamed!"
Fang Ying was stunned for a moment and said doubtfully: "You two, what are you..."
"Life is what I want, and righteousness is what I want. You can't have both. You have to sacrifice life for righteousness."
With shame on their faces, the two of them said excitedly: "The sages have already told the world about the essential truth, but we and I couldn't understand it... Only when we saw Brother Fang reciting it today did we have an epiphany!"
"We scholars should not bend to the powerful and sacrifice our lives for justice!"
"Brother Fang, you are doing the deeds of a sage with your actions, but just now the two of us were hiding among the crowd because we were afraid of the bullies and powerful people. We are ashamed, we are ashamed!"
Say it.
The two of them bent down again and bowed to Fang Ying.
call--
Fang Ying put his horse upright in front of him and returned the gift to the two of them: "An Neng can bend his eyebrows and bend his waist to serve the powerful, which makes me unhappy. You two are so righteous, Fang admires you."
