Chapter 117 Assassinated (recommendation ticket requested)
"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince, please see me." Li Mu walked up to Li Shimin and said.
"Let him in." Li Shimin was a little surprised, Li Chengqian rarely came to him on his own initiative.
"I will see my father." Li Chengqian bowed respectfully.
Li Shimin put down the pen in his hand, and said with a smile: "I heard from Kong Aiqing that you have studied hard recently, which is very good."
Li Chengqian said respectfully: "When I was dealing with the memorial recently, I felt a little lacking in ability, so I realized the importance of learning."
"I'm very happy that you can realize your shortcomings and correct them." Li Shimin said with some relief.
He came from the end of the Sui Dynasty and knew the importance of a good prince.
The training of Li Chengqian has never been relaxed, and many famous teachers have been arranged to teach him.
Li Chengqian was sensitive and studious when he was young, and he lived up to his expectations.
However, when Li Chengqian grew up, he became less and less concerned about his studies.
Every time he reprimanded Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian had a correct attitude and studied seriously after returning home.
But it didn't last long, and he began to slack off again. To be honest, he was a little disappointed in Li Chengqian.
Recently, for some reason, Li Chengqian suddenly became enlightened. He studied hard every day, and often asked him, Kong Yingda, and the others for advice.
Kong Yingda and the others were very satisfied with Li Chengqian's learning attitude, and they often praised him in front of Li Shimin.
Li Shimin thought that Li Chengqian was the same as before, and he couldn't hold on for long.
Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian could say such a thing.
"You came to see Father, what's the matter?" Li Shimin asked kindly.
Li Chengqian cupped his hands and said: "Father, when my son is dealing with the memorial, there are many things about the people that I don't understand very well. My son wants to go to the local area to experience it. Please allow me!"
Li Shimin nodded, "Father is very happy if you think so. Learning is only theory, and it must be used in practice. Have you thought about where you want to go?"
"My son obeys my father's arrangement!" Li Chengqian said respectfully.
Ask him to choose a place where he must choose a rich place, and it will be easy to make some achievements.
But who knows if Li Shimin will think that he wants to cultivate his own power, so he wisely throws this question to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin pondered for a while, and said: "You are the prince, and you can't be too far away. How about this, establish a Chang'an mansion, under the jurisdiction of Chang'an Wannian County, you go to be the governor."
Li Chengqian was overjoyed. He originally thought that he would be satisfied as a state governor, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to let him manage Chang'an.
Although he was happy in his heart, Li Chengqian remained calm and said with some hesitation: "Father, Chang'an is the capital city, and I'm worried that I can't manage it well."
Li Shimin said a little angrily: "You are the prince, you can't even manage Chang'an well, how can I rest assured that I will hand over the throne to you in the future?"
Although Li Chengqian's expression did not change, Li Shimin noticed the joy in his eyes.
This is also what he doesn't like about Li Chengqian very much. He clearly wants it, but he still pretends not to want it.
Li Chengqian said with some trepidation: "Father, my son must take good care of Chang'an Mansion."
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Go down, I will let people fix the Chang'an government office in the next few days, and you can just wait until you take office."
"Yes, I'm leaving!" Li Chengqian said respectfully.
After leaving the hall, Li Chengqian laughed. Although he was reprimanded by his father in the end, he was still very happy.
Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin's management is enough to prove that he is valued.
……
After offering sacrifices to the ancestors, Lin Xuan's family stayed in Luoyang for another two days before heading back to Chang'an.
When I went back, I didn't bring so many things with me when I came here, but it was much faster.
Lin Xuan felt that riding in a carriage was too boring, so he chose to ride a horse.
"How long will it take to reach Mianchi?" Lin Xuan asked Liu Da next to him.
Liu Da said: "There are still about 20 miles left. Don't worry, Sir, I will definitely arrive before dark."
Lin Xuan nodded, and said: "Notify everyone to hurry up, otherwise the city gate will be closed, and it will be troublesome!"
Mianchi is not as strict as Chang'an. Even if the city gate is closed and he reveals his identity, the guards will still open the gate.But he doesn't want trouble.
"Yes!" Liu Da turned his head and shouted: "The Sir has orders, speed up!"
"Yes!" Everyone responded, speeding up a lot.
For some reason, Lin Xuan suddenly felt heart palpitations, and shouted: "Stop!"
Although he didn't know why he felt this way, just to be on the safe side, he planned to have someone explore the path first to make sure there was no danger.
"My lord, what's the matter?" Liu asked in bewilderment.
Lin Xuan frowned, looked at the hills on both sides of the road, and said, "Don't you think it's too quiet? Although it's winter, it's not like there's not even a bit of insects and birds singing."
When Liu Da heard Lin Xuan's explanation, he also felt a little strange, and quickly said, "My lord, I will ask someone to investigate."
"call out!"
At this moment, more than a dozen arrows hit Lin Xuan.
Fortunately, Lin Xuan has been on guard ever since he realized something was wrong.
When the arrow rain hit, he jumped off his horse and was not shot.
Lin Xuan looked at the horse that was hit by many arrows and fell to the ground, and thought to himself: It's so dangerous!
If he was slower, he would probably be dead.
Although he has extraordinary martial arts skills, he is unarmed, and he has no way to block the arrows.
Fortunately, the arrows were shot from the side, and Lin Xuan was aimed at. Except for a few arrows flying towards Liu Da who was beside him, the others were fine.
"My lord, be careful! Protect your lord." Liu shouted loudly, pulled out his waist knife, and pushed aside a few arrows that were aimed at him.
Lin Xuan's personal soldiers were all veterans of hundreds of battles. When they were attacked suddenly, they didn't panic. They rushed forward one after another and surrounded Lin Xuan.
"My lord, are you alright!" Liu Da asked nervously.
Lin Xuan said: "I'm fine, quickly send someone to protect my parents."
"Yes!" Liu Da breathed a sigh of relief, and divided into two teams to protect Lin Dongyang and the others.
"My lord, I don't know how many enemies there are, and they still have bows and arrows. Let's hide in the mountains on the other side." Liu Da suggested.
Lin Xuan said calmly: "No, although only one side has shot arrows, it is not sure whether there is an ambush on the other side. Once there is an ambush, it will be very bad for us to go in."
Although he felt that the possibility of an ambush on the other side was very small, he didn't want to take the risk.
"My lord, we can't be a target here." Liu Da said.
He also thought that what Lin Xuan said was reasonable, but the other party had bows and arrows, and they stayed on the main road without even a place to hide, which was too dangerous.
"Judging from the arrows they just shot, they either have few people, or they don't have many bows and arrows. We were not prepared before, but now we are prepared, so we don't have to worry at all." Lin Xuan said.
He didn't want to go up the mountain because he felt that the enemy's bows and arrows were not a big threat.
In fact, what Lin Xuan said was correct, he secretly shot more than a dozen arrows, which were easily blocked by Lin Xuan's personal soldiers.
Seeing this, Liu Da felt relieved, and said, "Master, we can't just waste time with them all the time, can we? We have to send someone up to find them."
Lin Xuan refused: "No, we don't know how many people there are in the mountain. We can't let the brothers die. They see that the bow and arrow don't work. They either show up or retreat. It's good for us anyway."
