Chapter 402 Murder and the Late Autumn Poetry Society

When you beat the drum on the platform, you will naturally gather troops and generals.

Xu Jie seemed to be accustomed to these things in the army. From the time he followed Zhang Li to the border town, Xu Jie was just following Zhang Li and watching and learning, and later when he began to command the army directly, there seemed to be no transitional process in the army.

Xu Jie may have a sense of familiarity with these military affairs.

Sitting firmly on the platform, some fierce look slowly appeared between his eyebrows and eyes, and his eyes kept scanning the casual people on the school ground.

It's late, talking and laughing.

On the other hand, there were more than 10,000 cavalrymen, with strict ranks and neat armor, and a hint of irritability and disdain on their faces. Perhaps they all thought that Xu Jie was not the right choice to recruit people from Jianghu.

Xu Jie just looked at these lazy and scattered men, without saying a word, but looked up at the sky from time to time.

Xu Jie is waiting, waiting with his greatest patience, hoping to wait for as many people as possible.

Because Xu Jie was going to kill people, he had to wait for as many people as possible. Xu Jie didn't want to kill too many people, and didn't want to really kill two hundred and three hundred, but just wanted a few people to kill chickens and warn monkeys.

But things went against my wishes. No matter how patient Xu Jie was, time passed slowly, and there were still more than a hundred people who were not present, and there were still such numbers of horses who were not present.

It can be imagined that at this time, more than a hundred people were riding a rare tall horse in the capital to show off, either eating wine, escorting prostitutes, or simply parading on horseback, enjoying the envious eyes of passers-by.

The eight or nine hundred newly enlisted men on the school ground gradually became a little impatient, and people complained from time to time.

The sound in front of the head was not loud, and then the sound became louder intentionally or unintentionally.

"The meal time has passed... the emperor is still missing a hungry soldier?" Such words are not bad, they are just hints.

"Did Master Xu deliberately seek bad luck for us? What's the reason for letting me stand here and do nothing?" Such words are already a real complaint.

"If you have something to say, you will leave when you have nothing to do!" People in the martial arts world always have ideas like this, I am the best person in the world.

Xu Jie could hear it clearly, but still didn't say a word.

Xu Jie was still hesitating. What should we do if hundreds of people were out of the scene after he was hesitant? The law did not blame the public. This sentence often makes sense.

If the punishment is light, no one will be afraid. If the punishment is heavy, there will be too many people.

Xu Jie suddenly shouted: "Everyone is quiet!"

This sentence clearly reached everyone's ears, and the whole audience became quiet. They all looked at Xu Jie. It had been two hours since the Master Xu finally spoke.

"Did you sign all the documents for enlisting?" Xu Jie asked.

"I signed it, but if I don't sign it, I will send horses."

"I have signed it all, and I'm still waiting for the salary to be paid!"

The answers are sparse.

Xu Jie nodded and asked again: "Has anyone read and explain the military law to you?"

"I've explained it, what else does Master Xu have to do?"

"If nothing happens, the Grand Master will quickly order the Huotou Camp to have food."

Xu Jie nodded again, then stood up, walked to the front of the platform, and shouted: "Zhou Nan, take the roster to arrest people. All those who have not arrived will be arrested here, and it will be limited to darkness."

Zhou Nan stepped forward and bowed: "As for the order!"

The two battalions of knights took a horse to Bianjing for a moment.

Xu Jie returned to his seat with a calm face.

After waiting for a while, there were more and more complaints. Some people even took it seriously to leave alone, but the intersections where the camps were all blocked.

Xu Jie seemed to be squinting his eyes on the stage and took a nap. After a nap, it was still early and he went to bed again.

In the afternoon, outside the school grounds, the assessment was in full swing, and more and more gangsters came from all the prefectures and counties in the capital to participate in the enlistment assessment. More and more people came out of the capital to participate in the assessment, probably because the people who rode horses and paraded in the streets and showed off in the city played a certain publicity role, and more people were preparing to enjoy such a prestige.

Outside the school grounds, there are more than tens of thousands of people participating in the assessment today.

Xu Jie finally made a decision in his heart when he saw the scene outside the school grounds. He got up and got off the generals, recruited several young military generals, and instructed: "After Zhou Nan takes all the people back, he will be detained first, and when he recruits 20,000 new troops, he will deal with it, and take back all the armor and horses he had sent out before, and wait until the personnel are fully recruited, and then distribute it. From tomorrow, the camp will be banned. No new recruits are allowed to go out. Those who violate the order will be arrested and detained, and then deal with it together."

"Abide by the order!" Several military generals bowed and answered first, and then someone asked: "Tai Shi, don't know how to deal with those arrested people? The last generals and others can do it."

Xu Jie did not answer, but said, "I will make arrangements when I wait for the full staff."

After saying that, Xu Jie got up and returned to the city, but along the way, Xu Jie's face looked extremely ugly.

Xu Jie really had the intention of killing, but he could not kill at this time. He had to wait until the personnel were fully recruited before killing them. He killed 12300. Xu Jie seemed to have been soft-hearted for a long time, but he was still not ruthless after all.

When planning for the country and the people, the military affairs must not be slackened at all. Time waits for no one.

There is another thing Xu Jie didn't expect that someone would treat the horses or iron armor that had just been sent down, and he lost too much gambling, and sold the iron armored horses and wanted to make a comeback.

It seems that no one really takes joining the army too seriously.

This capital that has been in Dahua for three hundred years, and the people in the capital have never taken the matter of soldiers seriously since some time.

When Xu Jie returned home, he was in a bad mood and sat in the study, neither reading nor speaking.

Ouyang Wenqin seemed to see Xu Jie was in a bad mood, so she walked in with a post and said with a smile: "Husband, look at this post. The 17 poetry clubs in the capital jointly invited the post to invite you to participate in the late autumn poetry meeting the next day. The location is in Daxiangguo Temple. It is to let your husband judge poetry. Now your husband has become a famous scholar."

Xu Jie smiled and took the post and looked at it. It was true that this was true. There were also Zhulin Poetry Clubs in it. But Xu Jie shook his head and said, "It's better not to go. Now there are many business tasks, so how can I have this leisure?"

Ouyang Wenqin took two steps forward, pinched Xu Jie's shoulder, and said, "Husband, go there, listen to the songs and read the poems. It will always be more pleasant, and it will not miss the official business. The poetry meeting is mainly in the evening. Husband has a duty, go over and have a drink. If it is boring, it will be like returning early. If there is a young talented man, you can pay more attention to it in the future. If there are talented people, you can also promote more talent. Isn't it also a business to find talents for the country, and it is also a business."

Xu Jie turned around and looked at Ouyang Wenqin who was pinching his shoulders, and replied, "Are you afraid that I will be worried and get sick?"

Ouyang Wenqin smiled but said nothing.

"Okay, then let's go there. In the past, I always wrote poems for others to evaluate, but now I also try to evaluate other people's poems," Xu Jie replied.

Ouyang Wenqin said happily: "There are still monks in Daxiangguo Temple. If you are upset, your husband can also find a monk to explain it."

Xu Jie was not interested in some eminent monk, but he still nodded and answered.

Xu Jie was talking about the late autumn poetry meeting at home, but someone also talked about the late autumn poetry meeting at home.

In Li Zhi's mansion, seven or eight people came at night, all dressed up by Confucian scholars of a certain grade. After everyone entered the study, everyone outside the study was cleaned up. Outside the house, countless servants and guests were on high alert.

Everyone discussed in Li Zhi's study for a long time, and they did not come out of the back door one by one until the second half of the night.

After everyone left, Li Zhi still didn't rest and sat in the study.

Not long after waiting, words came from the darkness: "Mr. Li, I've been waiting for a long time."

Li Zhi stood up and bowed, and replied, "I am no longer a minister, so I don't need to call him that."

The person in the dark came out and smiled and said, "The ups and downs of life are nothing. As long as this matter is completed, the minister of the assistant will not be worthy of you in the future. He will be called Li Xianggong."

Li Zhi nodded when he heard this and said sadly: "Sir is the country, and I am also the country. Sir is the king of the king, but he can work so hard. It's a pity that my king is not as brave as Mr.

"Don't worry, Mr. Li, your Majesty is still young, and Xu Jie's methods are extremely vicious, and it is good to be cautious. With you in the future, he will be a wise king." The person who walked out of the darkness was naturally the old Tuoba King, but at this time he was wearing black clothes and a black scarf covering his face. Only the sword could be recognized at a glance.

The old Tuoba King in front of him had entered the palace and met Xia Wen. He met with the courtesy of his ministers. Xia Wen also arranged a house for the old Tuoba King. Although he was not allowed to leave the capital, he could walk around in the capital. Xia Wen was not bad for this hostage, which probably had Xu Jie's meaning. Xu Jie respected this hostage from the bottom of his heart.

"I hope so, I hope so, I hope Your Majesty will be that wise ruler, and it is not in vain for my hard work." Li Zhi replied.

Old Tuoba Wang didn't say anything else, and went straight to the point: "Are you sure Xu Jie will definitely be there in the future?"

Li Zhi nodded: "Eight out of ten people will come. How can those who study and literature not want to keep their talents forever? Now he is in a high position, and it is the time when everyone is pursuing him. He will also seek a reputation that will last forever. If you want a reputation, you will naturally not come."

The old Tuoba King asked again: "Will the Golden Palace Guard come to the scene?"

Li Zhi shook his head: "No, there are no royal nobles in the gathering of literati, why are the Jindian Guards here?"

Old Tuoba Wang also asked: "If you take action, how long will it take for the Golden Palace Guard to go from the Imperial City to the Daxiangguo Temple?"

This question made Li Zhi frown, think about it, and answered: "It is better not to make too much noise, not to disturb the Golden Palace Guard. If it really alarms the Golden Palace Guard, although the Daxiangguo Temple is not close, those people who fly over the eaves and walls will probably still arrive on the spot within a moment!"

Old Tuoba Wang was silent for a moment, and suddenly his tone sank, as if he was gritting his teeth, and said, "For a moment, it's okay, at worst, just fight to the death. If I die with Xu Jie, Minister Li must do something before the Jindian Guard comes."

"What's the matter?"

"Hide my body so that I cannot find my identity." If the identity of the old Tuoba King was discovered on the spot, it would be very likely to be the fuse of a war. The old Tuoba King knew this, so he had this instructor.

"That's nature, that's nature." Li Zhi was obviously planning to do this, killing powerful ministers and restoring imperial power, and Li Zhi was willing to enjoy it himself.

"Let's go first, please let me know everything!" Old Tuoba Wang said, and the man had disappeared in the study.

Li Zhi walked out of the study room, looked at the darkness in the distance, walked a few steps, and hit his hands, a little excited and a little longing.
