Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 78: Emperor Ambition
As night falls, the entire Chang'an is shrouded in the night. Due to the curfew system, except for the fireworks field, the rest of 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 still did not fall asleep.
Palace, Tai Chi Hall, still brightly lit.
The country was first decided. There are many things that require Li Er to decide. He basically reviews the memorials and approves them late every night. But he doesn’t hold it now
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 gnawing chicken 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 let Qingque suffer some setbacks. But Li Zexuan, this kid is really interesting."
Regarding his son eating out, Li Er will certainly not hate Li Zexuan because of this. The daughter is rich and the son is poor. Regarding several sons, Li Er always has an attitude of letting nature take its course. They can fight each other. You can fight each other, but you can't cross the red line.
Even if a certain son is bullied, they just need to find a way to bully him back, and Li Er will never stand up for him.
Looking at the unheard novel questions and unexpected answers on the secret report, the smile on Li Er's face also grew thicker, but when he saw the last question, the smile on Li Er's face Yi suddenly froze, and 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. They took advantage of the vacancy. They broke into Jingyang, only forty miles away from Chang'an, and the capital was shocked! At that time, the enemy was strong and we were weak. Li Er was forced to be helpless and set up 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 from afar.
Maybe later generations will praise him Li Er, who is not afraid of danger, ingeniously contrived, and set the Weishui alliance, which won a 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 raise troops. After hundreds of battles, he finally settled the world. He 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, howling. Tens of thousands of soldiers in full clothes and armor bowed before the handsome tent, 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 Min, there is a sense of pride in the bones, a kind of pride of being a Chinese.
The king humiliated his officials and died.
For a while, the whole country, from the generals to the common people, was fighting and vowing to avenge the monarch.
At that time, the Tang army was weak, lack of armaments, inadequate food, and domestic rebellions continued. Tubo and Tuyuhun looked at him, and the Tang Dynasty was worried about overturning if it was accidental.
Li Er can only smash his teeth and swallow in his stomach. The gentleman takes revenge. It is not too late for ten years. He secretly swears in his heart, waiting for the rebels in the country to be flattened, waiting for the soldiers to have enough food, and he will hunt the grasslands and the Turks Fight to the death.
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. One day is not as good as one day. In the past few years, the second brother could beat me by force. Cheng, I went to Qin's Mansion to see my second brother, the second brother... Your Majesty, my old Cheng is heartbroken!"
Cheng Yaojin couldn’t help but shed tears as he talked. This great Tang veteran once did not change his face in front of countless powerful enemies. Now he sees his best brother, his body is declining, and finally he can’t bear it. Cry and runny.
The man has tears and does not flick, 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 do not want to be sad. I will ask Daochang Sun to go to Qin Mansion to show Brother Qin. As long as it can relieve Qin's illness, no matter how precious I’m willing to let people look for medicinal materials."
Cheng Yaojin quickly thanked her: "The old official thanked your majesty for the second brother."
Li Er sighed and said:
"Ah, time is not forgiving. Seeing that you brothers who fought with me in the world are getting aging now, and I don’t feel comfortable in my heart. When our generation is old, who can help. How about guarding this Datang country?"
"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 pulled a sentence with a rare occurrence.
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 Yaojin thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Your Majesty, the old minister met a young man a few days ago. The old minister tried 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 ranks at least in the top ten among the military commanders of Datang. Now that Cheng Yaojin said that a fourteen-year-old boy could even draw with him, Li Er was not surprised.
"How can a fourteen-year-old boy ~ IndoMTL.com~ be comparable to Zhijie martial arts, why have I never heard of such a young man in Chang'an City?"
"Your Majesty, there is indeed something happening. This person's name is Li Zexuan, and he lives in Chang'an Yonglefang. He had been acquainted with the dog before, and the old minister met him."
"Li Zexuan?"
The name is so familiar, Li Er stood up, frowned, walked 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, it is him, did you know your Majesty before?"
Li Er refused to answer him, 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, that 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 and muttered: "That's how it is."
……
"Your Majesty, the night is dark, the old slave dares to ask your Majesty to rest early!"
The old **** Zhao Song cautiously stepped forward to persuade him.
Li Er only then took back his thoughts, nodded, and was about to leave, but suddenly turned his head and said:
"Zhao Song, you let Baiqi pay more attention to Li Zexuan recently, I want to know more about this person."
"Hey!"
This kid has high martial arts skills, but he is very smart. He has a lot of knowledge. If he is a general, then he should be vigorously cultivated. The younger generation of the empire needs a leader, even if he is not a general. Being an army clerk in the army and letting him take charge of grain and grass dispatch is estimated to reduce a lot of road losses. It is time to find an opportunity to transfer this kid into the army and train it well. Li Er thought of it.
