Chapter 152: Exposed

At noon, Li Shimin finished handling government affairs and took a rest in the Zichen Palace. At this moment, the great eunuch Wang De hurried over, and whispered anxiously: "Your Majesty, Lord Li Rusong, the young Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, asked to see him, saying that there are 100,000 urgent matters, and he must report to His Majesty immediately!" ”

Li Shimin is a little tired, although he is still in the prime of life, but for this huge empire to work day and night, coupled with the fact that most of his life was fought in the wind and rain, he fell into some diseases. As a result, he already felt physically exhausted from time to time.

But when he heard Wang De say this at this time, he still cheered up: "Xuan! Wang De took the order, and after a while, he saw Li Rusong, the current young Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, coming in with a cat. It's only April, but he is already sweating profusely, and even the slightest water stain can be seen on the collar.

Seeing his appearance, Li Shimin asked strangely:

"Li Aiqing, what's wrong with you? Is it so hot outside? ”

Li Rusong kowtowed in horror and bowed to worship, but he didn't dare to raise his head, so he knelt like this, and squeezed out a few words from his throat obscurely:

"Your Majesty, something is wrong!"

Li Shimin's eyes narrowed: "What's wrong?" ”

Li Rusong didn't dare to hide it: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen got the news this morning that there are six dead assassins of the mountain clan who have infiltrated the Jingshi!" ”

Li Shimin smiled lightly when he heard this: "What's the big deal?" Since Aiqing has already received the tip, then according to the law, the arrest is arranged. Could it be that just six mountain assassins can make a lot of waves among my capital masters? ”

Beads of sweat rolled down Li Rusong's forehead: "Your Majesty, all the arresters sent by Weichen were blocked out and could not enter the premises where the six assassins were......"

Hearing this, Li Shimin patted the dragon case lightly: "Who is so bold? How dare you stop the arrest of your Jingzhao Mansion from handling the case? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it is your personal guard commander Qin Shuang Qin, and the royal Qianniu Guard led by him......"

"Uh......". Li Shimin was choked for a moment, "Why did Qin Shuang stop your people?" ”

Li Rusong's voice became deeper and deeper, almost inaudible: "Because...... The place where the catcher sent by Weichen is about to go to get people is the ...... of Zuiyue Building."

"Hmm...... Drunken Moon Tower". Li Shimin hadn't reacted before. "What did Qin Shuang do when he went to Zuiyue Tower?" Then he jumped up as if he had been burned by fire, and roared in great anger:

"What do you say? Drunken Moon Building???? ”

Li Rusong was already so nervous that he was about to suffocate, and he first got the news that the six mountain assassins had settled in the Zuiyue Tower. When Shi Zhenxiang was sent to lead two hundred elite soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion, they were deployed outside the Zuiyue Tower. He also urgently ordered the two counties of Chang'an and Wannian to have their own officials and secretly seal all the exits of Suzaku Street and Xishi. It was imperative to make it difficult for the six assassins to fly, but he didn't expect that when he personally took dozens of elite soldiers in disguise to rush into the Zuiyue Tower to get people, he was stopped by Qin Shuang appearing.

Qin Shuang didn't ask him why he brought people to Zuiyue Tower. Directly threw him a sentence:

"Today, the queen wants to watch the festive activities of the new science and technology scholars here, and no one is allowed to disturb them!"

Li Rusong was so anxious that he almost jumped up and scolded his mother, but Qin Shuang was also the emperor's order, and he resolutely refused to give in. Helplessly, Li Rusong didn't dare to startle the snake, so he told Qin Shuang to immediately send someone to protect the room where the queen mother was located. On the other hand, immediately enter the palace to face the saint, please ask the emperor to decide!

Li Shimin's generation of Ming Jun has always been calm and abnormal when dealing with military affairs. But at this point, he couldn't calm down anymore......

Yesterday, Guanyin said to him that she wanted to take Lao Jiu and Xiao Zi to see the celebration of the new science and technology jinshi. At that time, he thought that in recent times, he has been busy with the deployment of troops and the recruitment of mountain officials, and he has not had much time to accompany the queen and her two children.

After thinking about it, anyway, it was in the Jingshi close to the imperial city, so it didn't hurt to let them go and relax. He instructed Qin Shuang to make some arrangements and escort her to see the excitement. This morning, there was also a report from the chamberlain, saying that the queen had invited Xiao Shi, the wife of Jiang Zhixuan, the new champion, to go to Zuiyue Tower in a carriage. Unexpectedly, the form deteriorated suddenly, and in less than two hours, Guanyin's maid and her two most beloved children, as well as Jiang Zhixuan's wife and children, whom she valued a lot, were in such a sinister situation......

The mountain bureaucrats are a barbarian tribe, which Li Shimin already knows very well. The ordinary warriors of this tribe are already very strong in battle, and even the royal Qianniu Guard, with one enemy and one enemy, will often fall behind. And these specially trained assassins, and they are also dead soldiers. I'm afraid that each of them has no less combat power than the commander, and now there are six mountain warrior assassins at once, I'm afraid that Qin Shuang's dozens of royal guards may not be able to protect Guanyin thoroughly!

Thinking like this, Li Shimin calmed down. He paced back and forth in the hall in a very irritable manner, panting and saying loudly as he walked:

"Li Rusong, as the young Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, you are responsible for checking pedestrians and guarding the safety of Jingshi. Now, you have allowed the Assassins to infiltrate the capital and pose such a threat to my queen, you say, what should I do with you? Yes???? ”

Li Rusong was very aggrieved in his heart, checked the passers-by, and inspected the customs clearance documents, is that a matter of the Beiya Forbidden Army? But at this time, if you quibble with the angry Emperor His Majesty, it is purely the birthday boy hanging himself - he is afraid that his life is long. I was pulled out by Li Shimin on the spot, so he didn't say a word, he knelt like this, and suffered Li Shimin's outpouring of anger!

Li Shimin is Mingjun after all, and after a fire, he slowly calmed down from the shock and worry. Finally thought about it calmly, of course, it was not his business to solve the problem, and his tone was a little slower at the moment:

"Li Aiqing, tell me what you plan now? This matter is in Jingzhao Mansion, and this is your duty! ”

Li Rusong heard that His Majesty the Emperor had changed his name for himself, and knew that the current hurdle had passed for the time being. Gently wiped the sweat with his sleeve, and then played in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, the top priority is, first of all, to protect the absolute safety of the Queen Mother. Before the minister enters the palace. He has already instructed Commander Qin to protect Niangniang's safety. However, in order to avoid startling the snake, he did not tell Commander Qin that there were assassins in the Drunken Moon Tower. Therefore, Weichen dared to ask His Majesty to allocate another hundred elite royal guards to Weichen, and after dressing up, he stayed in Zuiyue Tower in various capacities to protect the queen. As soon as the celebration in the afternoon is over, we will immediately start arresting! ”

"Why wait for the celebration to pass? Why not make an arrest right away? ”

Li Rusong was suffocated again when he heard this:

"Your Majesty, the new branch jinshi's boasting official parade has begun, and when Weichen rushes back to the Zuiyue Tower, the journey of the new Kejin Shi and the people has just reached the Zuiyue Tower. If you are arrested at this time, once there is a riot, it will damage my Datang Tianwei, not to mention, in the crowd of riots, it is even more difficult to guarantee the safety of Niangniang! According to the report, one of the six assassins was a marksman known as 'Qiao Buhua' by the mountain clan, and carried a six-stone bow......"

"Six-stone strong bow ......" Li Shimin gasped, looking at the entire Tang army, the people who can pull the six-stone strong bow are only the number of hands. I believe in the mountain clan, there are not many such talents. And the mountain clan actually sent such a person to be a dead soldier, I am afraid that these six assassins are not small! When Shen Shen groaned, he acquiesced to Li Rusong's arrangement.

Li Rusong hurriedly nodded and glanced at Wang De next to him. Wang De looked at Li Shimin, saw Li Shimin nodded, and immediately turned around and took Li Rusong to the camp of the royal guards, ordered a hundred elite guards, stepped on the war horse, and followed Li Rusong towards the Zuiyue Tower at a gallop......

Xiaoxiao and the eldest grandson queen naturally didn't know that they were in danger. Under the protection of more than a dozen guards, after they entered the guest room of the Tianyu, they sat down leisurely and waited to watch the excitement.

The maid brought by the Empress and the eldest grandson pushed open the Tianzi room by a window in the West Market. A thick quilt brocade was spread on the window lattice, and two stools were placed on the ground, which were prepared for pheasant slaves and little children......

At this time, the celebration has not yet begun, but a few little guys are already excited. Especially the pheasant slave Li Zhi, as he gets older, he has fewer and fewer opportunities to go out to play. Today's opportunity is even more rare for him, and in his heart, there is still a youthful heart: when I grow up, I will also be like Mrs. Jiang's husband, and I will take the exam as a high-profile champion. He didn't know that as a nobleman, he had no chance to do scientific research at all!

As for the little son and the tiger head, they are fighting for a puppet on the side. The rooms were covered with thick Persian carpets, and all kinds of furniture were covered with brocade. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the two little ones bumping into each other, the eldest grandson queen and the little one, so they can rest assured that the two little ones will play there.

The tiger head can't walk on his own, but this stinky boy has inherited the smart genes of his parents. Seeing that the porcelain doll-like sister took the puppet to play alone five or six steps away from her, she pursed her lips and protested twice, but she didn't cry. After looking around, the round and shiny little head stared at a long coffee table against the wall. He pouted his little buttocks and crawled over, hugged one leg of the coffee table, and stood up tremblingly. Then he alternately held the coffee table with his left and right hands, and slowly moved sideways towards his beautiful sister.

His clumsy movements made the eldest grandson queen and Xiaoxiao Le chuckle. But when he was about to get to the young lady, the little son made a grimace at him, turned and ran back a few steps, and then turned around and giggled at him. The tiger head glared at the young lady with a pair of innocent big eyes, seemed to be a little impatient, waved his arms, and screamed a few times in protest. But after all, he couldn't resist the temptation of the puppet, and he persevered in turning around, and leaned towards the little boy again with trembling steps......

In front of the ceremonial department, more than 300 Jinshi in the spring of the eleventh year of Zhenguan were dressed in red and green. First of all

People, riding a very white horse under the crotch, wearing a big red flower on his chest, wearing a four-grade civil official robe, that is the eleventh year of Zhenguan Spring Palace trial champion Jiang Zhixuan!

At this time, an official of the Ministry of Rites was explaining to him the route of the Quaguan parade on the street. Their street tour route is from the Ministry of Rites, take the Royal Road, go out of the Chunming Gate, go to Zhuque Street, enter the West Market, turn to the East City, and go to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to celebrate with poems; Then they went out of the outer city, and the final destination was Qujiang Pond southeast of Chang'an City, where they would enjoy the Qujiang Night Banquet jointly funded by the Imperial Court and 300 Jinshi of the same list. At that time, the famous families in Chang'an City, everyone is beautiful, and the small jasper will be present. I hope that among these new science and technology scholars, I can choose a wishful man......

Before going out, a new branch of Jinshi turned back again to worship the sage and the first teacher. Then, with the order of the celebrant officer, Jiang Zhixuan took the lead, led three hundred new science and technology scholars, and slowly stepped out of the gate of the Ministry of Rites. With the flag in front of him and the drums behind him, the new scholars who have been in Zhenguan for 11 years finally appeared in front of the world collectively and became famous all over the world in one fell swoop......

In an ordinary guest room opposite the Tianzi room in the Zuiyue Building, six stout men with cold faces and dead bodies were sitting around the table drinking. After drinking a few bowls, one of the strong men with hideous scars on his face put down the bowl heavily, and said in a cold tone without a trace of emotion:

"You can't drink it anymore, otherwise you'll miss the patriarch's big deal! Let's remember the situation of these two goals."

As he spoke, he took out two picture scrolls, and if he saw the person on the portrait for Li Shimin at this time, he would be surprised. I saw that on the picture scroll, a person was nearly fifty years old, with a long beard and a black face, and it was Li Xiaogong, the current secretary of the Tang Dynasty Rites;

The other is about 20 years old, judging from the portrait, he is suave and handsome, but his name is not indicated, but looking at that appearance, he is five points similar to the new champion of Zhenguan for eleven years......

This type of guest room in Zuiyue Tower can only accommodate a maximum of three people in each room. Therefore, the six people were scattered in three rooms. The strong man with the scar on his face seemed to be their commander, and lived in a separate room. Therefore, these six people were divided into one, two, and three, and each stayed in his own accommodation.

At this time, they came to the ruler's chamber at the call of the ruler to drink and discuss matters.

At this time, the wine was drunk, and the matter was discussed. They planned to go back to their rooms to rest in order to recharge their energy and wait for the night action. When a strong man opened the door, he didn't feel anything before.

But soon, he realized that something was wrong:

I saw that on the originally empty stairs and corridors, there were already dozens of sturdy men, looking at the entire floor of the guest room with great vigilance. As soon as the door on their side opened, dozens of pairs of eyes all looked towards them in an instant......
