Chapter 78: Imperial ambition

As night falls, the entire Chang'an is shrouded in the night. Due to the

curfew system, except for the fireworks field, all the streets are completely

dark.

The people of Chang'an had eaten dinner and went to bed one after another. The

whole city of Chang'an seemed to have begun to fall asleep together and fell

into silence, but some people were still not asleep.

Imperial Palace, Tai Chi Hall, still brightly lit.

The country was first decided, and there were many things that required Li Er

to decide. He would basically review the memorials and approve them late every

night. But what he holds now is not

is a memorial written by courtiers.

"Hehe, don't (cloth) be afraid of ten thousand, only (paper) be afraid of

accidents, how come there are so many weird things in this kid's mind."

Li Er looked at the secret report in his hand, shook his head and laughed.

Li Zexuan must have never imagined that after the chicken gnawing incident, he

once again entered Li Er's field of vision.

"Haha, Qingque has been talented since he was a child, but I didn't expect to

suffer such a big loss today, but it's okay to make Qingque suffer some

setbacks. But Li Zexuan, this kid is really interesting."

Of course, Li Er will not hate Li Zexuan for his son eating out. The daughter

is rich and the son is poor. For several sons, Li Er has always adopted the

attitude of going with the flow. They can fight each other and fight each

other. , But can't cross that red line.

Even if a certain son is bullied, they just need to find a way to bully and

come back. Li Er will definitely not stand up for him.

Looking at the unheard novel questions and unexpected answers on the secret

report, the smile on Li Er's face grew thicker, but when he saw the last

question, the smile on Li Er's face suddenly stiffened. After living, his face

gradually became a little serious.

Li Er calmly asked the black guard in front of him:

"Li Zexuan really got the answer within one breath?"

The guard hurriedly bowed and said:

"Return to your Majesty, it is true."

Li Er waved his hand and told the guard to retreat first. He turned his back

and vigorously grasped the secret report in his hand. This last question

touched the ambition that had been lurking in his heart for a long time.

After the Xuanwu Gate change last year, the internal political situation of

Datang was in turmoil. The Turks dispatched 100,000 troops, took advantage of

the vacancy and entered Jingyang, which was only forty miles away from

Chang'an. The capital was shocked! At that time, the enemy was strong and we

were weak, and Li Er was forced to be helpless. He set up a plan of suspicious

soldiers. He led Gao Shilian and Fang Xuanling to the edge of the Wei River

and talked with Jie Li across the Wei River.

Later, the Turks retreated, not only took away 30,000 Han slaves, but also Li

Er's promise of non-aggression. The wealth of Chang'an Fu Treasury was empty.

These triumphant robbers left Yuanzhou, and Lingzhou escaped into the vast

grassland.

Maybe later generations will praise him Li Er, who is not afraid of danger,

ingeniously contrived, and made the Weishui alliance, and won the respite for

Datang.

But in Li Er's view, the so-called Weishui Alliance is his life's shame.

At that time, his Li Er followed his father Taiyuan to rise up. After hundreds

of battles, he finally settled the world. He has never suffered such

humiliation.

Li Er still remembers that after the Turkic retired, Cheng Yaojin held his

handwritten script and knelt on the ground like a child, crying. Tens of

thousands of soldiers bowed in front of the handsome tent in full clothes and

armor, and several Titans draped their faces and asked for an expedition,

determined to wash away the shame and shame brought by the Weishui Alliance

with their blood.

Although the Tang Dynasty was initially set, from the emperor to the Li

people, there is a sense of pride in the bones, a kind of pride of being a

Chinese.

The king humiliated his officials and died, and the king humiliated his

people.

Suddenly, the whole country, from the generals to the common people, was

fighting and vowing to avenge the monarch.

But at that time, the Tang army was weak, lacking in armaments, poor food,

domestic rebellion continued, Tubo, Tuyuhun looked forward to it, and a slight

inadvertent fear of overthrow in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Er can only smash his teeth and swallow in his stomach. The gentleman

avenges him. It is not too late for ten years. He secretly swears in his heart

that he will fight against the rebels in the country and wait for the soldiers

to hunt down the grassland and fight the Turks.

Seeing Li Zexuan's last question for Li Tai today, Li Er's heart could not be

calm for a long time. Speaking of Li Zexuan, Li Er couldn't help but remember

the conversation with Cheng Yaojin in the Taiji Hall two days ago.

"Zhijie, how is Brother Qin's health recently."

Li Er sat on the dragon chair and asked with concern. Qin Shubao followed him

in ** battles in those years and saved his life several times. Therefore, Li

Er has always been very grateful to Qin Shubao. Even if he became the emperor,

he privately called Qin Qiong the second brother of Qin.

"Your Majesty, the second brother Qin left countless dark wounds on his body

in his early years. Now that he is getting older, his body has suffered from

the dark wounds, and his body is not as good as a day. In the past few years,

the second brother could beat me by force, but a few days ago, I went Seeing

the second brother in the Qin Mansion, the second brother... Your Majesty, my

old man is heartbroken!"

Cheng Yaojin couldn't help crying as he said it. This old Tang veteran once

did not change his face in front of countless powerful enemies. Now seeing his

best brother, his body is gradually deteriorating, he finally couldn't help

crying. Tears.

The man does not flick when he has tears, but he is not sad.

Li Er also had some moist eyes. He was silent for a while, and said in a deep

voice: "Zhijie don't want to be sad. I will ask Daochang Sun to go to the Qin

Mansion to show Brother Qin. As long as it can relieve Qin's illness, no

matter how precious the medicine is. I'm willing to let people find it."

Cheng Yaojin quickly thanked him: "The old official thanked your majesty for

the second brother."

Li Er sighed and said:

"Oh, time is not forgiving. Seeing you brothers who used to fight with me in

the world, now they are getting old, and my heart is not feeling well. When

our generation is old, who can help Cheng Qian guard this? Where is Datang

Jiangshan?"

"Your Majesty, there are talented people from generation to generation, and

children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren. Now the

younger generation has many loyal and brave men!"

Cheng Yaojin took a rare sentence.

Li Er shook his head and said: "Zhijie, nowadays, the younger generation is

not always relying on the shadow of their fathers, fighting ** and walking

the dog, how many become talented."

Cheng Biaojin thought for a while, and suddenly laughed: "Your Majesty, the

old minister met a young man a few days ago. The old minister tried to compare

with him, and found that this son's martial arts is on par with the old

minister."

Li Er's eyes lit up and he asked interestedly: "Oh, how old is that boy?"

"It should be only fourteen years old."

"what?"

Li Er is really shocked at this moment. Although martial arts is somewhat

talented, the accumulation of years is essential. Cheng Yaojin has experienced

hundreds of battles, and his strength is at least ranked in the top ten among

the generals of Datang. Now that Cheng Yaojin said that a fourteen-year-old

boy could even draw with him, Li Er was not surprised.

"A fourteen-year-old boy, how can UU reading www.uukanshu.com be comparable to

Zhijie martial arts? How come I have never heard of such a young man in

Chang'an?"

"Your Majesty, it is true that this person's name is Li Zexuan, and he lives

in Chang'an Yonglefang. He had a good relationship with the dog before, and

the old minister met him."

"Li Zexuan?"

The name is so familiar, Li Er stood up, frowned, took two steps, and suddenly

remembered.

"Is it Li Zexuan who invented the gnawed chicken before?"

Hearing the gnawed chicken, Cheng Yaojin subconsciously licked his mouth, and

said, "Yes, that's him. Did you know your Majesty before?"

Li Er didn't answer his words and said: "I only heard that he went to

Longhushan to learn martial arts for eight years, but I didn't expect his

martial arts to be so strong."

Cheng Yaojin explained: "Your Majesty, then Li Zexuan worshipped the real man

Lingxu as his teacher, so it's not surprising that the martial arts are

superb."

Li Er was a little lost, murmured: "That's it."

……

"Your Majesty, the night is dark, the old slave dares to ask your Majesty to

rest early!"

Zhao Song, the old eunuch, cautiously stepped forward to persuade him.

Li Er only then took back his thoughts, nodded, was about to leave, but

suddenly turned his head and said:

"Zhao Song, you asked Baiqi to pay more attention to Li Zexuan recently. I

want to know more about this person."

"Hey!"

This kid has a high martial arts skill, but he is extremely clever. He has a

profound knowledge of learning. If he is a general, he should cultivate

vigorously. The younger generation of the empire needs a leader. Even if he is

not a general, he can be transferred to the military. A clerk with the army,

let him be in charge of food and grass dispatch, it is estimated that a lot of

road losses will be reduced. It is time to find an opportunity to transfer

this kid into the army and train it well. Li Er thought so.
