Temple of Manna.

It's still brightly lit at the moment.

Li Er kept pacing in front of the dragon case with his hands on his shoulders, his brows were already wrinkled, today's sudden assassination of Li Zexuan made him feel a strong vigilance in his heart.

Li Er, who came to power by coup d'état, saw from this sudden assassination that there were still many unstable factors in the Tang Dynasty he governed, and dared to assassinate a founding county man in broad daylight, and the people behind the command were definitely not small!

The most critical question now is whether Li Zexuan was killed.

For this recently rising star of the empire, Li Er of course attaches great importance to it, and even faintly has the intention of reserving talents for Li Chengqian, Li Zexuan has never disappointed him, and has repeatedly made miraculous achievements, not to mention solving his urgent needs several times, and the intention of "running a academy, building engineering and learning, and opening up the wisdom of the people" coincides with his original plan!

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, from the reign of Li Yuan, the central core of the court began to deliberately squeeze out and expel the power of the family, and after Li Er ascended the throne, the weakening intention of the court to the family was more obvious.

The reason why the current five surnames and seven wangs can still have such a status is not because they have a lot of power in the court, but because they have always held the right to interpret Confucian classics, that is, the right to academics, and they are also known for their rigorous family style of thousand-year-old gates.

At this time, people often say that they hate not to marry a girl with five surnames, but they don't want to be a princess, it is precisely because the family education of the five surnamed women is excellent, and the daughters from the five and seven sects can be called a model of ladies, this statement has always made Li Er, who has always claimed to be the master of the world, very angry and helpless.

The transcendent academic status and the lofty folk reputation are the biggest advantages of the current five surnames and seven hopes!

It is precisely because of this that countless down-and-out scholars and rangers are always willing to take refuge in the family, hoping to get ahead in the future through the platform of the family!

It is precisely because of this that Li Er has never dared to be too drastic in dealing with the family, because if the family is forced to be anxious and coerce public opinion against him, he will also be very passive.

If you want to completely break the foundation of the family, you must cut off their popularity, cut off their academic control, Guozijian could have taken such a responsibility, but now it seems that the effect is not ideal! Because many of the knowledge taught by Guozijian is a commentary on Confucian classics that has been circulated in the family.

Today, Li Zexuan's engineering and Yanhuang Academy have become the most critical move for Li Er to balance the family, and in the end, even if he can't beat Confucianism and the family, just a large number of engineering talents cultivated by Li Zexuan are enough to make the military and national strength of the Tang Dynasty to a higher level! It's really a hundred benefits and no harm!

Therefore, at this moment, an unknown assassin appeared, Li Er was quite annoyed in his heart, and at the same time, he wondered in his heart which force sent the assassin.

In addition, Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Changle all heard the news and came to him for help as a father, if Li Zexuan is not rescued, it is estimated that Li Er, the father, will be annoyed to death by the children below!

"Your Majesty~! General Dugu is back and is asking to see him outside the hall~! ”

Just when Li Er was anxious and bored, a yellow door attendant trotted in and bowed down.

"Let him in~!"

Li Er's expression perked up, waved his hand and said a word, and then sat back on the brocade couch above.

After a while, Dugu Xin strode in, and was about to salute, but he heard Li Erdao: "No need to be polite!" Let's talk about how Li Zexuan is~? Can the assassin be caught~? ”

Dugu Xin's face was ashamed, he knelt on one knee, hugged his fists and said: "The last general is not doing well, and he failed to catch the assassin, please punish Your Majesty~!" ”

When Dugu Xin said the sentence "The last general is not good", Li Er couldn't help but "groan" in his heart, thinking that Li Zexuan had been killed, he was stunned, wanted to confirm it, and said: "How is Li Zexuan~?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Li Xiannan is unharmed, and now he has returned home! General Qin, General Niu, and General Cheng also participated in this rescue out of the city! ”

"Whew~!"

Li Er breathed a sigh of relief, he paused, and asked, "That assassin is really so powerful, can he escape among the five hundred guards~?" ”

When he was young, he also worked as a ranger for a period of time, and knew that there were some martial arts masters who could treat ordinary people with one as ten, or even one as a hundred, but now they are five hundred elite Beiya guards, he really doesn't believe that anyone in this world can win with personal bravery, although it is possible for the great grandmaster, but to deal with this elite army, I am afraid that it will definitely not be too easy.

"Your Majesty doesn't know, the place where Li Xian Nan had an accident is far away from the official road, in order to rescue as soon as possible, the last general can only abandon the big team, and Yu Di rode from the trail, when the last two arrived, they found that the assassin was actually a martial arts master above the middle stage of the grandmaster, with the two of us, they were not opponents at all, if it weren't for Li County's male martial arts talent, he wouldn't have been able to support us to come to the rescue, even so, a few of us could only fight and delay, let alone win."

"Fortunately, Li Xiannan broke through the Grandmaster Realm later, and the battle situation was reversed, coupled with the timely arrival of General Qin and General Niu, the black-clothed assassin was defeated and fled, Li Xiannan wanted to chase, but the assassin's skills were evil and weird, and there were many ways to escape, so he still let him escape! The last general has sent people along the road to track down the whereabouts of the assassin, and there is no news yet~! ”

Li Er was shocked, only then did he learn how thrilling today's assassination was, he raised his eyebrows, and said in surprise:

"Grandmaster mid-stage master? I can't blame you for this matter, I knew that the other party's kung fu was so high, I should have sent a royal family to worship and go over~! However, Li Zexuan, this kid is really blessed with a great fate, and he can catch up with him when he breaks through this kind of thing! ”

After pondering for a long time, Li Erchong Dugu said: "Okay, you have worked hard, go down first!" The assassin's affairs have to be investigated with all his might, and you can't slack off~! ”

"The last general will obey the order~!"

Dugu Xin clenched his fists and retreated, Li Er sat alone in the Ganlu Hall and meditated, and after a while, he stood up and sighed with a complicated face: "Martial Arts Grandmaster who is less than fifteen years old! It is indeed the blessing of my Tang Dynasty! But where should I put you in the future~? ”

At this moment, Li Er was entangled!

There were a few little palace maids outside the hall, running in three directions, and soon after, Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Chang'an received the news of Li Zexuan's safe return, and the three of them were relieved and calmed down.
