As night fell, the entire Chang'an was shrouded in darkness. Due to the implementation of the curfew system, except for the place of fireworks, the rest of the streets were dark.

After dinner, the people of Chang'an went to bed one after another. The whole city of Chang'an seemed to be falling asleep together, falling into silence, but some people still didn't fall asleep.

The palace, the Taiji Hall, is still brightly lit.

At the beginning of the dynasty, there were many things that needed to be decided by Li Er. He basically reviewed the memorials every night until late. But now he's not holding

It is a memorial written by a courtier.

"Hehe, not (cloth) is afraid of ten thousand, only (paper) is afraid of just in case, why are there so many strange 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 gnawing chicken incident, he once again entered Li Er's field of vision.

"Haha, Qingque has been extremely talented since she was a child. I didn't expect to suffer such a big loss today, but it's good to let Qingque suffer some setbacks. But Li Zexuan is really interesting."

Of course, Li Er will not hold a grudge against Li Zexuan for his son's deflation outside. His daughter is rich and his son is poor. For several sons, Li Er has always taken the attitude of letting things go. They can fight with each other and fight each other. , but cannot cross that red line.

Even if a certain son is bullied, they just have to figure out a way to bully them back, and Li Er will never go out 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. Stopped, his face gradually became a little serious.

Li Er sullenly asked the black-clothed guard in front of him:

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

The guard quickly bowed and said:

"Report to Your Majesty, it is absolutely true."

Li Er waved his hand and asked the guard to step back first. He turned his back and squeezed 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 change of Xuanwumen last year, the internal political situation in the Tang Dynasty was turbulent. The Turks sent 100,000 troops to take advantage of the emptiness. At that time, the enemy was strong and I was weak, and Li Er was forced to do nothing, so he set up a plan of suspicious soldiers, and personally led Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling and other six cavalry to the edge of the Weishui, and had a dialogue with Jieli across the Weishui.

Later, the Turks withdrew, not only taking 30,000 Han slaves, but also the promise of non-aggression by His Majesty Li Er. The wealth and silk of Chang'an's treasury were emptied. These proud robbers left Yuanzhou, and Lingzhou fled into the vast grassland.

Perhaps later generations will praise him Li Er was not afraid in the face of danger, he ingeniously set up a miraculous plan, established the Weishui alliance, and won a respite for the Tang Dynasty.

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

Back then, when Li Er followed his father in Taiyuan, he went through hundreds of battles and finally settled the world. He never suffered such humiliation.

Li Er still remembers that after the Turks retreated, Cheng Yaojin held his handwritten book in his hand, kneeling on the ground like a child, and weeping. Tens of thousands of soldiers dressed in their suits and armour bowed down in front of the handsome tent, and several warriors draped their thorns on their faces and requested to go on an expedition, determined to wash away the humiliation brought about by the Weishui Alliance with blood.

Although the Tang Dynasty was initially determined, from the emperor down to the Li people, there is a sense of pride in the bones, a kind of pride as a Tang people.

The ruler humiliates his subjects to death, and the ruler humiliates the people to death.

All of a sudden, the whole country, up to the generals, down to the common people, was full of fighting spirit, and they all vowed to avenge the monarch.

However, at that time, the Tang army was weak, the armament was uneven, the food and salaries were poor, and the domestic rebellion continued.

Li Er can only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. A gentleman takes revenge. It is not too late for ten years. He secretly swears in his heart that when the rebels in the country are quelled, and when the soldiers and grains are sufficient, he will hunt the grasslands with the princes and fight the Turks to the death.

Seeing Li Zexuan's last question for Li Tai today, Li Er couldn't calm down for a long time. Speaking of Li Zexuan, Li Er couldn't help thinking of the conversation he had with Cheng Yaojin at the Taiji Temple two days ago.

"Zhijie, how is 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 was always grateful to Qin Shubao. Even though he became emperor, he still called Qin Qiong the second brother Qin in private.

"Your Majesty, the second brother Qin left countless secret wounds in his early years. Now that he is old, the secret wounds have occurred, and his body is not as good as the day. A few years ago, the second brother was able to beat me by force, but a few days ago, I went to Lao Cheng. Qin Manor sees the second brother, the second brother he... Your Majesty, my old Cheng is heartbroken!"

Cheng Yaojin couldn't help beating his chest and weeping as he spoke. This Tang veteran used to keep his face in front of countless powerful enemies, but now seeing his best brother, his body is gradually declining, and finally he couldn't help crying. snot.

The boy didn't cry easily, but he didn't get to the sad part.

Li Er also had some water in his eyes, he was silent for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "Don't be sad when you know the festival, I will let Daoist Sun go to Qin's house to show Qin's second brother, as long as it can relieve Qin's second brother's pain, no matter how precious the medicinal materials are. They are willing to let people find them.”

Cheng Yaojin quickly thanked him: "Old minister thank your majesty for the second brother."

Li Er sighed and said:

"Oh, time is not forgiving. Seeing that you brothers who fought with me in the world at the beginning, are now getting older, and I feel bad in my heart. When our generation is old

Now, who can help Chengqian guard this Tang Dynasty? "

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

Cheng Yaojin drew a rare sentence.

Li Er shook his head and said, "Zhijie, now the younger generation is not all relying on the shadow of their parents, fighting cocks and walking dogs, how few become talents."

Cheng Yaojin thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Your Majesty, the old minister met a young man a few days ago. The old minister had a test with him, and found that this son's martial arts are on par with the old minister."

Li Er's eyes lit up and asked with interest, "Oh, how old is that boy?"

"Should be only fourteen."

"what?"

Li Er was really shocked at this moment. Although martial arts is a bit of a talent, the accumulation of years is essential. Cheng Yaojin has experienced hundreds of battles, and his force value is at least among the top ten generals in the Tang Dynasty. Now that Cheng Yaojin said that a fourteen-year-old boy could even draw a tie with him, Li Er was not surprised.

"How can a fourteen-year-old boy be on a par with Zhijie's martial arts? Why have I never heard of such a young hero in Chang'an City?"

"Your Majesty, there is indeed something. This person's name is Li Zexuan. He lives in Yonglefang, Chang'an. He was friends with the dog before, and the old minister got to know him now."

"Li Zexuan?"

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

"Isn't it Li Zexuan who invented the gnawed chicken before?"

Hearing the gnawed chicken, Cheng Yaojin licked his mouth subconsciously and said, "That's right, it's him. Did your majesty know him before?"

Li Er didn't answer him and said, "I 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 Yaojin explained: "Your Majesty, then Li Zexuan worshipped Lingxu as his teacher at the beginning, so it's no surprise that he is superior in martial arts."

Li Er was a little lost and murmured: "So it is."

...

"Your Majesty, it's getting dark, the old slave dares to ask Your Majesty to rest early!"

The old eunuch Zhao Song cautiously stepped forward to persuade him.

Li Er then recovered his thoughts, nodded, and 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."

"Here!"

This kid is highly skilled in martial arts, but is extremely smart, and has deep accomplishments in math and learning. If he is a general, he should vigorously cultivate it. The younger generation of the empire is in need of a leader. Even if he is not a general, he can be transferred to the army. A military clerk, let him be in charge of food and grass dispatching, 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 him well. Li Er thought so.
