Datang Live Room

In the next few days, Yan Kai did not go out, but took Li Wanshun to play in the yard given to him by the Zheng family.

In fact, you don't need to go out to know that Chang'an is definitely going to be bloody.

Li Jiancheng had been the crown prince for so many years, and Li Yuanji was the King of Qi. Before the Xuanwu Gate Incident, the strength they had in hand was actually slightly higher than that of Li Shimin.

Now that the two of them have passed away, some of the people who remained have been demoted, but there are still so many buddies or people who had deep grudges with Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion.

These people realize that even if they turn to Li Shimin, they may not be able to survive. Now that Li Yuan is under house arrest in the palace, the only chance they have is to rescue Li Yuan.

So within a few days, such people started to attack the imperial city that was already occupied by Li Shimin like moths flying to the flame.

They even caused riots throughout Chang'an in order to disperse the imperial city defenders.

Even in the Zheng family mansion, you can see flames reaching into the sky from one direction in the city at night.

In the "Old Book of the Tang Dynasty" there is only "In the ninth year, the Crown Prince Jiancheng and the King of Qi Yuanji plotted to kill Taizong. On June [-], Taizong led the eldest son Sun Wuji... to punish him by the Xuanwumen." These few sentences are recorded.

The "New Book of Tang" only has "Prince Jiancheng was afraid of deposing and plotted with Qi Wang Yuanji to kill Taizong, but it was not carried out. In June of the ninth year, Taizong sent troops into Xuanwumen and killed Prince Jiancheng and Qi Wang Yuanji. The ancestors were shocked and thought that Taizong As the crown prince, the emperor will be located in the East Palace on the eighth day of the eighth month." This is the record.

Later generations will not be able to see Chang'an at this time from the history books. Countless people were affected by this incident, and even thousands of people died.

After seven days, the smoke cleared.

Yan Kai finally got Li Shimin's call.

"Brother, can you please tell me that Yan Kai is seriously ill and unable to get up?"

Zheng Buqi looked at Yan Kai, who was playing with Li Wanshun on his back in the yard, dumbfounded.

"Just say it was diagnosed by Daozhang Sun." Yan Kai added.

He later found out that Sun Simiao came to Chang'an just to treat Li Shimin's Qin Princess, the empress Changsun who later became famous all over the world.

As long as it is said by Sun Simiao, no one can question it.

Zheng Buqi took another look at Sun Simiao, who was reading a medical book without saying a word, and could only sigh and nodded.

Although Li Shimin has not yet ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, his office location has been changed to the emperor's office, Xiande Palace.

Zheng Buqi came to the Xiande Hall to salute and said, "Yan Kai must have been frightened that day, a little acclimatized, and seriously ill. Taoist Master Sun said he had to stay in bed and rest."

Li Shimin frowned, this guy named Yan was a bit interesting.

Even if Zheng Buqi said it was Taoist Sun who said it, how could he not know that it was Yan Kai's excuse?

It's just that he is about to ascend to Dabao, and this kid actually doesn't even come to call him.

Do you really think that because you are talented, you can do whatever you want?

At this time, Li Shimin was full of ambition, ready to ascend the throne as emperor and show off his talents, but he didn't know how to praise him.

"Didn't you say that Yan Kai wanted to stay away from places of right and wrong like Chang'an and Luoyang? I'm not someone who refuses to reward merit, so just as he wished, I let him serve as the magistrate of Kuoding County in white. .”

This Kuoding County is located in Dengzhou. It was a lower county that was created only in the sixth year of Wude.

Dengzhou is the Jiaodong Peninsula. At this time, the Tang Dynasty had not conquered Goryeo, so Dengzhou was basically the border of the Tang Dynasty.

Kuoding County is still on the edge of Dengzhou, and it can basically be said to be distributed.

You must know that Zheng Buqi was directly awarded the title of earl this time. Although the official position has not been determined, it is definitely above the fourth rank.

And Yan Kai first contributed to the water tanker, and later played some role in the Xuanwu Gate Incident. Logically speaking, he would not be given a seventh-grade official who was a county magistrate.

There is a high probability that depending on his age, he will be trained in Chang'an by being given a free post such as the Imperial College.

But now Li Shimin wanted to see if this somewhat arrogant young man could withstand his test.

There have been many talented young people since ancient times. Who knows whether they will stand out in the end or disappear from the crowd?

"Yes!" Zheng Buqi cupped his hands and said, "Then I will tell him about this when I get back."

After saying a few more words, Zheng Buqi withdrew. Du Ruhui asked curiously: "Isn't His Highness very optimistic about that young man?"

"It's just because I'm optimistic about it, so I asked him to practice it. And didn't you realize that this is what Zheng Buqi wants?"

Du Ruhui nodded and said: "It is true. Although Zheng Buqi and a childish sworn sworn brother are for the great cause of His Highness, if word spreads, his face will always be a little hot. So if Yan Chi can be far away, it will be a long time. If it doesn’t last long, everyone will forget about it.”

Li Shimin thought for a while and said: "When Kuoding County was first established, we opened a convenient door for him. After he went there, the personnel appointments of the county government were also handed over to him. I gave him three years. I want to see if he can Make something happen.”

He wanted to see if it was his luck or if he was really good at figuring out who was going to cause trouble that day among the Zheng family.

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "I think this young man is extraordinary."

"Hahaha, are you obsessed with reading Three Kingdoms recently?" Du Ruhui said with a smile: "I heard that you and your family quarrel because of this book!"

"Hmph, that's nonsense. How can that little brat compete with me?"

After all the ministers had finished the discussion and left, Li Shimin said to the empty Xiande Hall: "Tell the people from Lijingmen to follow Yan Kai. If there is danger, save his life."

Yan Kai was stunned when he got the news at Zheng's house. What does it mean? Do you still have to be an official?

Although he is far away from Chang'an and is basically sent to the frontier, is this county magistrate really that good?

"Brother Xian, His Majesty is already very unhappy today, please don't do it again..." Zheng Buqi looked at Yan Kai and said.

Yan Kai also knew how to give up when things got better and claimed he was ill. As long as Li Shimin didn't really want to target him, there was nothing he could do to him.

But if he refuses to take office, he will be resisting the decree when Li Shimin ascends the throne. Moreover, this document will be sent from the Ministry of Personnel, and it will be known to everyone by then.

If you don't give Li Shimin face like this, I'm afraid that no matter how generous the other party is, you won't get any good results.

So Yan Kai could only nod and said: "Don't worry, brother, I will go."

Hearing Yan Kai say this, Zheng Buqi breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Zheng Buqi was about to leave, Yan Kai hesitated and said: "Brother, if you have a chance, please inform His Highness King Qin... Be careful of Turks."

"Be careful of Turks?" Zheng Buqi was stunned, where did he start? Now Li Daozong and Li Jing have gone north. Although the Turks are strong, their Tang Dynasty is not weak either.

"Well, you just need to remind me." Yan Kai didn't intend to say it.

But when I went out for a trip, I saw that there were a lot of ruins in Chang'an, and many people hung up white flags.

This was just a fight within Chang'an City, but so many people suffered.

If the Turks entered the pass and attacked Jingyang, which is only 40 miles away from Chang'an, it is unknown how many people in the north would be displaced.

It was just a reminder, it might not be useful, but as long as Li Shimin could be more vigilant, maybe many people would be spared from the disaster of weapons.
