The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 595 Li Yan's Qin Wang Family
Li Yan praised Xue Rengui while encouraging him. Tongli sighed in his heart that he could not learn this thing. He could shoot seven arrows in a row to make a person into a jerk, but this kind of seven stars in a row, he could do it without even thinking about it, and his mind needed to be as pure as a baby's.

Li Yan knew that for someone like himself who loved power, wine, sex, money and anger, he would never be able to master this kind of archery in his lifetime, so he gave up decisively and decided to find some people who could practice it. If they could do it, then it would be the same as if he could do it too.

Xue Rengui took a moment to explain, "In fact, the original consumption was not that great. It's just that I just practiced horse archery and didn't recover yet, so I used this string of arrows. In addition, this 150-step target is really far away. Usually when I practice, it's 50 to 60 steps away."

"Every time I ejaculate, I can recover after a half-stick of rest. I can do it four or five times in an afternoon, and it doesn't affect my normal state. Unlike now, my legs are weak."

"Hey, why didn't you say so earlier?"

Li Yan blamed him, "If we had known this earlier, we would have practiced it another day, or moved the target closer to 150 steps. I didn't consider that the chain arrows are not necessary at such a long distance."

Li Yan was secretly shocked in his heart. As expected, if everyone played like Xue Rengui, almost no one would be able to learn it. The other party was probably just a young man at heart. He wanted to show off his peerless martial arts since this was their first meeting and leave a good impression on him, so he tried his best.

Li Yan looked at Xue Rengui's pale face and felt a little distressed. He quickly said, "You should take a good rest these few days, but don't use force again. If you hurt yourself, I will be sad."

Li Yan hurriedly called the guards and asked them to help Xue Rengui go down to rest. Seeing Xue Rengui being helped down by the guards, Li Yan's eyes lit up. Xue Rengui alone was enough to surprise him, and what about so many future famous generals who were about to come?
Thinking of this, Li Yan became more excited about the days to come.

In the following days, those famous generals who became famous throughout the world in later generations arrived one after another. First came Su Dingfang and Liang Jianfang. Both of them were transferred by the Ministry of Personnel to serve in the Six Rates of the Eastern Palace. Su Dingfang was appointed as the General of the Left Guard's Personal Palace, and Liang Jianfang was appointed as the General of the Left Guard's Auxiliary Palace. Together with the often-victorious General of the Left Guard's Xun Palace, they supported the three most important inner palaces under the Left Guard.

These two men both held fifth-rank military posts in their local areas. Now they have been promoted to the fourth-rank position of General of the Eastern Palace Guards, which can be said to be a real promotion. Although the Eastern Palace's inner court has no real power, they are serving in the capital and are still officials of the prince's Eastern Palace. In the future, they will surely become military generals that the prince trusts and relies on, which is definitely a promotion.

Afterwards, all the guards that Li Yan had scattered across the Tang Dynasty returned to Chang'an within the next month. Although many of them were still unsuccessful in their searches based on the information clues provided by Li Yan, they still managed to recruit nearly ten people for Li Yan.

Among them were Liu Renyuan and Sun Renshi, who almost destroyed Baekje; Wang Xuance, who destroyed a country by himself; Xi Junmai, who led 120 cavalrymen to pacify Tuyuhun; Gao Kan, who was from the Bohai Gao clan and destroyed Goguryeo during the reign of Emperor Gaozong;

There is also Xiao Siye, the great-grandson of Emperor Ming of Liang Xiao Kui. He had previously fled to the Turks with Empress Xiao and followed Yang Zhengdao to establish the Sui Dynasty. He was originally scheduled to return to the Central Plains in the ninth year of Zhenguan, but returned ahead of schedule due to Li Yan's search. He was also a famous general in the late Zhenguan period. He once surrendered Xueyantuo Dumozhi and participated in the expedition against Western Turks, Goguryeo, and Uighurs.

Li Jingxuan, who became the prime minister during the reign of Emperor Gaozong, would have been recommended by Ma Zhou, the famous prime minister during the Zhenguan period, to enter the Chongxian Hall and become the tutor of Crown Prince Li Zhi. Now he still entered the Eastern Palace, but became Li Yan's attendant.

Pei Xingjian was born in the Pei family of Wenxi, Jiangzhou. His father was Pei Renji, the left Guanglu doctor of the Sui Dynasty. He later served as the Minister of Rites and the Inspector of the Right Guard General. He attacked the Turks and Tubo and pacified the Western Regions. He was also good at calligraphy and was a Confucian general. He promoted famous generals such as Cheng Wuting, Wang Fangyi, Liu Jingtong, Li Duozuo, and Heichi Changzhi.
There was also Li Jinxing, the son of Tudiji, Duke of Shi, from the Suomote Mohe tribe, who defeated Tubo during the reign of Emperor Gaozong.

Except for Pei Xingjian and Li Jinxing who were a little younger, one year younger than Li Yan, the others were one or two years older than Xue Rengui, about 18 or 19 years old. These people included children of aristocratic families who had fallen on hard times, talented people from official families with good family backgrounds, commoners with difficult lives, and grassroots people from ordinary families.

But without exception, Li Yan's recruitment to the Eastern Palace was seen by his family members and relatives as an opportunity for his rapid rise to prosperity, which solved their worries and allowed them to serve the prince with peace of mind.

Li Yan was overjoyed when he saw this group of lively and ambitious young people. He looked at this and that.

Including Xue Rengui, there were exactly ten young men, standing in a row in the hall of Chongren Hall. Li Yan felt heroic in his heart. He thought that he had almost embraced all these famous generals in the late Zhenguan period or the Gaozong period. If he still could not pacify the world, Li Yan would just find a rock and kill himself.

By the way, there is also the talented but unappreciated Ma Zhou, a top strategist. Is he probably still working as an assistant coach in Zezhou now?

He is already thirty years old now, but unlike military generals, the older they are, the more hardships they experience and the higher their level. People like Jiang Ziya and Zhang Liang in ancient times, and later Fang Xuanling and Wu Sidao, all experienced many ups and downs, and only developed extraordinary life wisdom when they were old.

Ma Zhou is an important character in the play. He has some setbacks in Zezhou. Li Yan has not asked anyone to recruit him for the time being. Although this person has great talent, his life span is not long, not as long as Li Shimin, and he will definitely not be useful in the future. If he comes to the East Palace now, he just wants to transition here and serve Li Shimin. His age is destined that his mind will not be on himself. He also has to build the Jinyiwei East Factory. He is a smart man and knows too much, which is a trouble. When Ma Zhou arrives in Beijing, he will take him into his pocket!

After experiencing three worlds, Li Yan has some confidence in his brain. He thinks he can still deal with the current situation. He has recruited many generals in order to train them earlier and have more people to charge into battle. As for giving orders, he still has to rely on himself.

Moreover, many of these military generals are Confucian generals who are both civil and military, and their intelligence must be not much different!
Li Yan, wearing the crown prince's uniform, stood in front and read out in a serious tone, "Xue Li, Liu Renyuan, Sun Renshi, Wang Xuance, Xi Junmai, Gao Kan, Xiao Siye, Li Jingxuan, Pei Xingjian, Li Jinxing."

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The young men, full of vigor and vitality like the rising sun, stood in a row and bowed loudly.

Li Yan scanned everyone's face, and everyone looked at him excitedly with their heads held high. "I now appoint the ten of you as servants, and assign you to the Chongwen Academy, and you will be under the management of Xue Li, the proofreader."

"You will also be assigned to the Eastern Palace to lead the guards of the palace to serve me. You will be assigned to a separate group, with Xue Li as the group leader. When I study, you will also study with me. When I exercise, you will also practice riding and archery with me in the training grounds of the Eastern Palace."

"If you don't have any missions to serve the emperor, you can practice with other guards in the Donggong Liuliu military camp outside Xuande Gate."

According to the Tang military system, below the prefecture level, 300 people formed a regiment, and each regiment had a colonel and a brigade commander; 50 people formed a team, and each had a captain and a deputy captain; 10 people formed a fire team, and each had a fire captain. Therefore, these ten people could only form a fire team, and the deputy captain was the lowest rank, the ninth rank, and the fire captain was not among the ranks.

"I respect the prince's order!"

The ten young men all looked at Li Yan with excitement. It was a great blessing to serve the crown prince and accompany him in reading books. When the crown prince ascended the throne in the future, they would be the emperor's closest followers. Almost from this moment on, they were determined to have a bright future.

No matter whether they were from a family that had fallen on hard times or from a prominent family, they were all extremely grateful at this moment. They looked at each other, knowing that they would all be close ministers to the prince in the future, and many years later each of them would surely be an important official in the court, and they all had the mentality of young people.

Unconsciously, I felt that everyone had become a group, and a force centered on the prince was slowly emerging.

Xue Rengui was the first to arrive. Those who came later were all received and arranged into the military camp by Xue Rengui. He also held a ninth-rank official position and was appointed by the prince himself. He was the fire chief and led everyone, and no one disobeyed him.

But Xue Rengui was secretly grateful. He did not have the best family background among them. Li Jinxing was the son of a duke, Gao Kan's Bohai Gao family was not inferior to the Hedong Xue family, Pei Xingjian was a direct descendant of Wenxi Pei family, and the others were not inferior to himself.

Although I am good at martial arts, these young men in front of me have good family backgrounds and probably have their own strengths, and they are not much worse than me.

Although he was not the oldest, Li Yan appointed himself as the fire chief without hesitation. Although he was only a fire chief of the lowest rank in the army, he was the fire man led by the prince himself and the one he was closest to and had the most feelings for.

Ten or twenty years later, it is conceivable that this fire man will be no less powerful than the current Qin Wang family and will become a colossal force in the court. After Li Yan ascends the throne, he will become the strongest force dominating the Tang Dynasty. As the leader of such a group with unlimited potential, his position in the military in the court in the future can be imagined.

At this moment, Xue Rengui's heart was filled with infinite emotion, and he truly regarded Li Yan in front of him as the crown prince whom he needed to protect with his life.

From today onwards, these ten people, led by Xue Rengui, were divided into two groups, taking turns to serve and guard Li Yan. When they were not on duty, they would participate in exercises and training with the East Palace Guards in the military camp outside Xuande Gate.

Su Dingfang and Liang Jianfang were responsible for training the 500 soldiers that Li Shimin had transferred back from several important towns on the border. Li Yan told them everything he had discussed with Li Shimin about the plans and future plans of the Jinyiwei.
