Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

At this time, Li Shimin's mood has gradually eased down.

From the previous anger to worry and concern.

"How about your Hibiscus Garden, do you have any losses?"

Li Qiu replied respectfully at this moment: "Reporting to Your Majesty, fortunately the Furong Garden made some preparations in advance yesterday."

"That assassin didn't succeed and caused too much damage."

"It was Jing Wuming who was seriously injured and two guards died."

"It's all been dealt with properly."

Hearing this, Li Shimin was naturally surprised.

"Have you prepared in advance?"

"Did you know in advance that there would be an assassin coming?"

At this time, Li Qiu also took what he heard today about Yuan Tiangang as an interesting talk to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was also quite surprised.

If he had the opportunity, he would also meet Yuan Tiangang's master and apprentice in person.

At the same time, he frowned slightly at what Yuan Tiangang said was just the beginning of the disaster.

Later, Li Shimin asked Li Qiu with concern: "Li Qiu, how many guards do you have in Furong Garden?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are more than [-] guards in Furong Garden and Beiping Palace."

"Both are the number of personal guards of Chen and Yunzhong."

Hearing this, Li Shimin frowned slightly and shook his head.

"Your Hibiscus Garden covers too much area. In the past, the guards sent by the imperial court had to consist of 100 to [-] people."

"With more than 600 people like you, it is not enough to guard the Furong Garden alone."

"What's more, you live in Chang'an City right now, and you have to allocate some people to guard your palace."

"Let's put it this way, in this extraordinary period, we must take extraordinary measures."

"I have given you a secret decree that you will immediately send [-] elite troops from the Youzhou Army back."

"Guard the safety of your home."

"There is no need to report anything to anyone."

"This matter, do it immediately, don't delay."

"At this stage, not only you, but also Luo Kexin, Wu Jue, and the children must be kept safe."

"Especially you, don't be negligent or careless just because you have martial arts."

"This kind of assassin who lurks in your life and may assassinate you all the time is completely different from the Turkic army you used to face on the battlefield."

"People like them have extremely despicable means, assassination, poisoning, etc., they will do everything."

"Your martial arts may not be able to save your life."

"Remember not to be negligent and careless."

"If I find their mastermind in the future, I will never let you down!"

Hearing Li Shimin's concern, Li Qiu was very grateful.

Thanks again and again.

Afterwards, the father and son brought the topic back to daily government affairs.

At this time, Li Shimin wrote an imperial edict for Li Qiu, and asked him: "Li Qiu, choose talents because of your official position, and don't act hastily."

"Now that you are in the position of right servant, it is an extremely important position for both the imperial court and Zhen."

"There's still a lot to learn about selecting and employing people."

"If you use one gentleman, all the gentlemen will come."

"And if you use a small person, the small person will compete."

"When the world is uncertain, employing people is only based on their talents, not on their behavior."

"After the chaos is over, it is impossible to use both talent and talent."

"The person you recommended, Guo Fushan, has fair conduct but lacks ability."

"It's still more suitable to be a servant."

"As for Qu Hetai, it's not appropriate to let him be the Minister of War."

"The position of Minister of the Ministry of War is very important to my Tang Dynasty."

"We must choose the most trustworthy and safe person."

"At the moment, there is a vacancy for the Minister of Rites."

"I have issued an edict to transfer him to the Ministry of Rites."

After hearing Li Shimin's teaching, Li Qiu was naturally convinced.

As for the two brushes in his stomach, he is still clear and self-aware.

On the other hand, Li Shimin, he is a wise king through the ages.

In terms of knowing and employing people, he is by no means comparable to himself.

Moreover, Qu Hetai's promotion is also a good thing.

The only thing is that Guo Fushan suffers.

Not only did he fail in promotion, but he also lost a helper.

Chapter 742

Just after Li Qiu came out of the imperial study.

I only saw Xu De, the old eunuch, waiting here all the time.

As soon as he saw Li Qiu coming out, a heartfelt smile appeared on his face.

"My lord."

"Your Majesty knew that you were coming to the palace, and specially asked me to wait for the prince here."

Li Qiu also smiled at him and nodded.

Followed Xu De to the Lizheng Palace, where Empress Changsun lived.

After the ceremony, Empress Changsun also asked about the attack on Furong Garden last night with concern.

Li Qiu also truthfully told Empress Changsun about the matter.

After hearing that this assassin was the one who assassinated Zhang Xuansu in the carriage before.

Empress Changsun looked extremely worried and furious.

Li Qiu, Luo Kexin, and Wu Jue were constantly told to pay attention to safety.

You must also take care of your children.

At this moment, Princess Youle ran in happily.

When she saw Li Qiu here, she was also extremely surprised.

Then, during the chat.

Empress Changsun and Li Qiu took the initiative to avoid the incident in the Furong Garden last night.

In order not to worry Princess Le, and at the same time spread the news, causing unnecessary trouble.

And Li Qiu was also surprised to learn that Princess Youle lived in the palace with Xiaobai last night.

Originally, after the princess got married, although she might return to the palace to visit her relatives.

But there are still many restrictions.

It is even more impossible to live in the palace.

But Princess Youle is quite special.

No matter Li Shimin, Empress Changsun or Changsun Wuji, they all love her extremely.

Even if she is married, the palace where she used to live is still reserved for her.

When you want to come back to live, just come back and live for a few days.

This kind of treatment is not available to ordinary people.

……

On the other side, wait until Li Qiu returns to the mansion.

Samurai Xun, Chai Shao, Princess Pingyang and others have all received the news and gathered here.

I am quite concerned and indignant about this matter.

At the same time, Li Qiu was constantly told to strengthen protection and pay attention to safety.

After everyone left, Li Qiu also brought Zhang Yungu over.

Talk about this matter with Zhang Yungu.

Hearing this, Zhang Yungu's expression froze.

"My lord, I also worked as the governor of Jingzhao Mansion for several years."

"I still have a lot of experience in investigating and handling cases."

"I also ask the prince to give me a team, and I will investigate secretly to see if this assassin can be brought to justice."

However, Li Qiu rejected his proposal.

"This assassin is still too dangerous."

"Your Majesty has now given orders to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment."

"Order to solve the case within three months."

"I believe they will never dare to be negligent and careless."

"As for you, Mr. Zhang, your role and significance to our side are too great."

"If you continue to stay around Chang'an City, I'm worried that you will be harmed."

"So what I mean is, I want to work hard for you, and immediately take my family and return to Youzhou."

"I will send a team of elite guards to protect you along the way."

"At the same time, there is a very important and top-secret matter waiting for you to do here."

After speaking, Li Qiu handed over the secret decree written to him by Li Shimin to Zhang Yunguguan.

"This is the secret order His Majesty gave me this morning."

"Let us secretly dispatch a guard of 800 people to live in the Furong Garden."

"Strengthen security."

"I don't worry about handing over such a big matter to others, and I can only let you handle it."

Hearing this, Zhang Yungu solemnly put away the imperial decree.

Then he bowed to Li Qiu to salute.

"Please rest assured, my lord, I will go back to prepare and return to Youzhou."

"Never fail to live up to the prince's entrustment."

……

As soon as Zhang Yungu left, Shang Shuxing sent Qu Hetai to invite Li Qiu back.

As soon as they met, Qu Hetai saluted Li Qiu very respectfully.

"Qu Hetai is extremely grateful for Li Xiangti's kindness."
