Datang: Activate the combat merit system at the beginning

Two days later.

Zhang Shigui suddenly summoned his relatives, Xun Yiwei, and the commanders of the left and right Qianniuwei.

"Everyone, His Majesty will go hunting in the same state today. Go back immediately and gather the guards from all the prefectures, and set off in half an hour!"

Zhang Shigui's expression and tone were very serious.

"promise!"

Wei Hao and other generals unanimously agreed.

Although they felt that it was too sudden in their hearts, no one questioned it.

They all understand that His Majesty's trip will not be notified in advance, in case someone leaks His Majesty's whereabouts and let some people with bad intentions know.

"This matter is confidential, and the destination of this trip is not allowed to be explained to subordinates.

If someone leaks His Majesty's whereabouts, he will be dealt with by military law! "

Zhang Shigui emphasized sharply.

"promise!"

Wei Hao and other generals agreed in unison.

next moment.

Wei Hao returned to Xunwei Erfu, and immediately summoned troops.

Cheng Tieniu, Yuchi Baolin, Qin Huaiyu and others asked Wei Hao curiously, where are they going?

Wei Hao glared at them, and said sharply: "No one is allowed to inquire about this matter! Whoever inquires about this matter will be dealt with by military law!"

Cheng Tieniu, Yuchi Baolin, Qin Huaiyu and others did not dare to ask any more questions.

"From now on, until the departure, no one can leave the Xunwei mansion for half a step. If someone violates it, it is also a military law!"

Wei Hao put on a straight face, there was no room for negotiation in his tone.

Those people understood the need to keep it secret, so they didn't dare to talk anymore, and they didn't dare to discuss it in private.

After half an hour.

In charge of Li Er's safety, Qin Xun Yiwei, Zuo Qianniuwei and a thousand soldiers and horses escorted Li Er to the direction of Tongzhou.

Because the last time he went out to hunt in the city, a minister came forward and said that Li Er brought too many soldiers and horses every time he hunted, and trampled on the farmers' crops, so that the local people complained.

At the same time, there were too many soldiers and horses, so that the local government, gentry, and common people almost gave up everything to satisfy the soldiers and horses.

This led to complaints from officials, gentry, and common people.

In view of this, Li Er only brought a thousand soldiers and horses with him when he went hunting in Tongzhou this time.

Li Er was bold in the first place, and he believed that the states near Chang'an were peaceful and there would be no dissidents.

Not to mention that no one would dare to attack the Emperor of Tang and Tian Khan!
Unless someone is impatient to live!
Tongzhou is more than 300 miles away from Chang'an, not very far.

Li Er likes hunting.

When he fought in the South and the North, he would go hunting when there was no war.

After becoming the emperor, there is still a lot of hunting.

Now the Tang Dynasty is peaceful, and the surrounding foreign countries have not invaded the borderlands of the Tang Dynasty.

It's rare for Li Er to have a little leisure time, so he naturally wants to go hunting.

In his opinion, there is nothing to be unhappy about. If there is, let's go hunting.

Along the way, Li Er sat in the carriage and dozed off peacefully.

However, for Wei Hao and other soldiers escorting him, it was not so safe.

They maintain a high level of vigilance in case something happens.

Although the territory of the Tang Dynasty is already peaceful, it is necessary to prevent people with ulterior motives from taking the opportunity to disadvantage Li Er.

Fortunately, the journey was peaceful without any accidents, and we arrived in Tongzhou safely.

……

The western suburbs of Chang'an City.

Under a willow tree by the river.

A man of medium height, dressed in a soap suit and a black quilted hat, stood under a willow tree.

He faces the river, as if waiting for something.

Soon.

A figure flashed and landed two steps behind him.

The visitor was dressed in Tsing Yi, tall and slender, and also wore a black drapery hat.

"You came?"

The man of medium build did not turn around and said in a deep voice.

"Ah."

The tall man nodded slightly.

"Ask me here today, what's the matter?"

"I have a piece of news about the Tang emperor going out to hunt in the city."

"Oh?"

The man of medium build turned around abruptly.

"Is this message accurate?"

"Exactly!"

"Where did Li Er go out of the city?"

"Tongzhou."

"How many soldiers and horses did you bring?"

"There are about a thousand soldiers and horses escorting! It is mainly composed of Qin Xun Yiwei and left and right Niu Qianwei."

"Only one thousand soldiers? This is a good opportunity! Do you know when you will return to Chang'an?"

"It's not clear yet."

"Go and investigate again. I want to know when Li Er will return to Chang'an?"

"promise!"

The tall man turned and left.

The man of medium build clenched his fists tightly, the veins on the back of his hands were bulging, and his shoulders trembled slightly.

Appears a little excited.

"Ha ha!"

He suddenly let out a cold laugh.

The laughter was very low, with a hint of madness.

The undercurrent is surging.

Datang may not be peaceful.

……

six days later.

Li Erxing made every preparation to return to Chang'an.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report!"

The eldest grandson Wuji who accompanied Li Er on the hunt suddenly hurried to the camp.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

Li Er stared at Changsun Wuji with questioning eyes.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Tiance Shadow Guard has received information that there is something unusual on the way back to Chang'an."

Changsun Wuji said very seriously.

"There are a lot of strangers."

The Tiance Shadow Guard mentioned by Changsun Wuji is Datang's intelligence agency.

It was a secret organization established by Li Er when he was still a general of Tiance, and later became a secret organization of Datang as Li Er proclaimed himself emperor.

Its function is equivalent to the Jinyiwei of later generations.

In addition to spying on intelligence, some assassination missions will also be performed.

The Tiance Shadow Guard originated from Li Er's Tiance Mansion, directly obeying Li Er's orders and being loyal to Li Er, and the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling usually take charge of it.

"uh-huh?"

Li Er's face changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.

"Tiance Shadow Guard thinks that there is something wrong with those strangers, maybe they are coming for His Majesty."

Changsun Wuji said thoughtfully.

"You don't need to be soldiers!"

Li Er was calm and composed, not caring about Taoism.

"Now my Great Tang is in its prime, and all nations come to court! It is normal for strangers to appear in my Great Tang!"

"Your Majesty, you'd better be careful.

According to the information sent back by Tiance Shadow Guard, many of those strangers were barbarians. "

Changsun Wuji said cautiously and worriedly.

"I suggest that Your Majesty stay in Tongzhou temporarily, and return to Chang'an after confirming that everything is normal."

Li Er pondered for a long time, and slowly said: "I have decided to leave for Chang'an today!"

"I implore Your Majesty to think twice!"

Changsun Wuji said with a sincere expression and tone.

He didn't want Li Er to make any mistakes.

"Wuji, you have followed me for so long, have you ever seen me afraid?"

Li Er said solemnly.

"There's nothing to be afraid of the petty ones!"

"His Majesty……"

"You don't need to persuade me, I just take this opportunity to get rid of those who dare to disagree with me!"

Li Er interrupted Changsun Wuji and said in a deep voice.

"What does your majesty mean?"

"If someone really wants to attack me, they will definitely show up this time. I will personally catch them all!"

"Your Majesty, don't risk yourself!"

"If I don't go out personally, it will be difficult to lure out the enemies from the dark."

Changsun Wuji couldn't help frowning.

He was thinking about how to persuade His Majesty, so that His Majesty would give up the idea of ​​risking himself.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and thought of a way.
