When night falls, the whole of Chang'an is shrouded in night, and due to the curfew system, the rest of the streets are dark except for the land of fireworks.

After dinner, the people of Chang'an went to bed one after another, and the entire Chang'an City seemed to have begun to fall asleep together, falling into silence, but some people still did not fall asleep.

The Imperial Palace, the Taiji Palace, is still brightly lit.

At the beginning of the dynasty, there were many things that Li Er needed to decide, and he would basically review and approve the chapters until late every night. But now he doesn't have it in his hand

It was written by a courtier.

"Hehe, not (cloth) afraid of 10,000, only (paper) afraid of what if, why do this kid have so many strange things in his head."

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

Li Zexuan definitely didn't expect that after the gnawing chicken incident, he once again entered Li Er's field of vision.

"Haha, I didn't expect Qingque to be talented since childhood, but today it will suffer such a big loss, but it's good to let Qingque suffer some setbacks. Haha, Li Zexuan's kid is really interesting. ”

For his son eating deflated outside, of course Li Er will not hold a grudge against Li Zexuan because of this, his daughter is rich and his son is poor, for several sons, Li Er has always had a natural attitude, they can fight with each other, they can fight with each other, but they can't cross the red line.

Even if a certain son is bullied, they find a way to bully him back, and Li Er will definitely not stand up for him.

Looking at the novel questions and unexpected answers that he had never heard of on the secret report, the smile on Li Er's face became stronger and stronger, but when he saw the last question, the smile on Li Er's face suddenly froze, and his face gradually became a little serious.

Li Er had a calm face and asked the black-clothed guard in front of him:

"Li Zexuan is really within a breath, even if he comes out with the answer?"

The guard hurriedly bowed down and said:

"Back to Your Majesty, it's true."

Li Er grabbed the secret report in his hand vigorously, and this last question touched the ambition that had been latent in his heart for a long time.

After the Xuanwumen Revolution last year, the internal political situation in Datang was turbulent, and the Turks sent 100,000 troops, taking advantage of the weakness to enter, all the way like a bamboo, and even attacked Jingyang, which was only 40 miles away from Chang'an, and the Beijing division was shaken! At that time, the enemy was weak and I was strong, Li Er was forced to be helpless, and set up a suspicious plan, and personally led Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling and other six horsemen to the edge of Weishui, and talked to Jieli across Weishui.

Later, the Turks retreated, taking not only 30,000 Han slaves with them, but also His Majesty Li Er's promise of non-aggression. The treasury of Chang'an was emptied. These triumphant robbers left Yuanzhou, and Lingzhou escaped into the vast grassland.

Perhaps future generations will praise him Li Er for not being afraid of danger, cleverly devotion to the alliance, and winning a respite for the Tang Dynasty.

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

Back then, he Li Er raised troops with his father Taiyuan, and after a hundred battles, he finally settled in the world, and he had suffered such humiliation.

Li Er still remembers that after the Turks retreated, Cheng Biting Jin held his handbook in his hand, knelt on the ground like a child, and cried. Tens of thousands of soldiers fell in front of the tent in front of the tent, and several fierce generals asked to go on the expedition with their hair and thorns, determined to wash away the shame brought by the Weishui Alliance with blood.

Although the Tang Dynasty was initially decided, from the emperor to the Li Min, there was a pride in their bones, a kind of pride as a Tang people.

The king humiliates the ministers to death, and the king humiliates the people to death.

All of a sudden, the whole country, from the generals to the common people, was boiling with war spirit, and they swore to avenge the monarch.

However, at that time, the Tang army was weak, the armament was not complete, the food was not enough, the domestic rebellion was not stopped, and the Tubo and Tuguhun were eyeing each other, and the Tang Dynasty was worried about overturning if it was not careful.

Li Er could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, the gentleman took revenge, ten years is not too late, and secretly swore in his heart that when the traitors in the country are pacified, when the soldiers are well fed, he will hunt the grassland with the monarchs and fight to the death with the Turks.

Seeing Li Zexuan's last question for Li Tai today, Li Er's heart couldn't calm down for a long time. Speaking of Li Zexuan, Li Er couldn't help but think of a conversation with Cheng Yanjin in the Taiji Hall two days ago.

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

Li Er sat on the dragon chair and asked with concern on his face. Qin Shubao fought with him all the way in those years, and saved his life several times, so Li Er has always been very grateful to Qin Shubao, even if he became the emperor, he still called Qin Qiong Qin Second Brother in private.

"Your Majesty, Second Brother Qin left countless secret injuries on his body in his early years, standing old, the secret injuries attacked, his body is not as good as day by day, a few years ago, the second brother was able to defeat me in terms of force, but a few days ago, Lao Cheng I went to Qin Mansion to see the second brother, the second brother he... Your Majesty, my heart aches! ”

Cheng Yanjin couldn't help beating his chest and crying as he spoke, this veteran of the Tang Dynasty once had no change in front of countless powerful enemies, and now when he saw his best brother, his body was declining, and he finally couldn't help crying.

The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place.

Li Er's eyes were also a little moist, and he was silent for a while. He said in a deep voice: "Don't be sad Zhijie, I asked Daoist Sun to go to the Qin Mansion to show Second Brother Qin, as long as it can alleviate Second Brother Qin's pain, no matter how valuable the medicinal herbs are, I am willing to let people find them." ”

Cheng Yanjin hurriedly thanked him: "The old minister thanked Your Majesty for the second brother." ”

Li Er sighed at this time and said:

"Alas, the years are not forgiving, seeing that you brothers who fought the world with me at the beginning are now getting old, and I don't feel good in my heart. When our generation is old, who can help Chengqian protect this Tang Dynasty? ”

"Your Majesty, there are talented people in the country, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and now the younger generation also has many loyal and brave people!"

Cheng Yanjin rarely dragged a sentence.

Li Er shook his head and said, "Zhijie, now the younger generation is not all relying on their father's Yu Yin, fighting cocks and walking dogs, how many of them are talented. ”

Cheng Yanjin thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Your Majesty, the old minister met a young man a few days ago, and the old minister tried it with him, and found that this son's martial arts were on par with the old minister. ”

Li Er's eyes lit up, and he asked with interest, "Oh, how old is that young man?" ”

"I should only be fourteen years old."

"What?"

Li Er was really shocked at the moment, although martial arts is a bit talented, but the accumulation of years is indispensable. Cheng Biting Jin has experienced a hundred battles, and his force value can at least rank in the top ten among the generals of the Tang Dynasty, and now Cheng Biting Jin said that a fourteen-year-old boy can actually fight with him to a draw, how can Li Er not be surprised.

"How can a fourteen-year-old boy be on par with Zhijie's martial arts, how come I have never heard of such a young and handsome man in Chang'an City?"

"Your Majesty, it's true, this person's name is Li Zexuan, he lives in Yongle Fang, Chang'an, and he was good friends with dogs before, and the old minister met him."

"Li Zexuan?"

This name is so familiar, Li Er stood up, frowned, took two steps, and suddenly remembered.

"Is it Li Zexuan who invented the chicken to gnaw before?"

Hearing the gnawing chicken, Cheng Biting Jin subconsciously licked his mouth and said, "Yes, yes, it's him, did Your Majesty know him before?" ”

Li Er didn't answer his words and said, "I've only heard that he went to Longhu Mountain to learn martial arts for eight years, but I didn't expect his martial arts to be so strong. ”

Cheng Yanjin explained: "Your Majesty, then Li Zexuan originally worshipped Lingxu Zhenren as his teacher, and it is naturally not surprising that his martial arts are outstanding. ”

Li Er was a little distracted and muttered, "I see." ”

……

"Your Majesty, the night is dark, the old slave dares to ask Your Majesty to rest soon!"

The old eunuch Zhao Song cautiously stepped forward at this time to persuade.

Li Er retracted his thoughts, nodded, and was about to leave, but suddenly turned his head and ordered:

"Zhao Song, you ask Baiqi to pay more attention to Li Zexuan recently, I want to know more about this person."

"Whoa!"

This kid is strong in martial arts, but he is extremely smart, and he has a deep attainment in arithmetic, even if he is not a general, he can be transferred to the army as a secretary of the army, and let him be in charge of grain and grass scheduling, which is estimated to reduce a lot of road losses. It's time to find an opportunity to transfer this kid into the army and train him well. Li Er thought so in his heart.
