He is quite familiar with Jinyang Palace and the land of Shanxi.

In the past, my own father slipped over from Daye in the first eleven years, and was transferred to the comfort ambassador of Hedong, Shanxi, where he suppressed crimes and made great achievements.

After that, Yang Guang asked his father to attack the Turks in the north with Wang Rengong, the governor of Mayi County. At that time, they had few soldiers and horses, so how could they be strong Turkic opponents.

With the excellent weapons of the Sui Dynasty, and the riding and shooting skills that are no less than that of the Turkic people.

This elite cavalry followed Li Yuan in the conflicts with the Turks, and even defeated the Turks at the end of the twelfth year of Daye.

Until the thirteenth year of the great cause, my father was appointed as Taiyuan left behind, Jinyang palace supervisor, and finally became the highest military and political officer in this area.

In this way, the old Li family can seize the world in the future and obtain a base of their own.

This Taiyuan, which is now Jinyang, has naturally become the place where Lao Li's family thrives.

And in the early years, it was Li Shimin, the Erlang, who followed his father's military career.

Eldest brother Li Jiancheng and third younger brother Li Yuanji stayed in Luoyang until their own father decided to rebel, and then came to join them.

Seeing the old and the young having fun there, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun quietly left with a smile on their faces, and began to wander in the Jinyang Palace.

"Husband, we have been in Jinyang for a while. Are you going to continue the northern tour or stay in Jinyang?"

Empress Changsun walked slowly holding her husband's arm, Li Shimin shook his head slowly.

"Let's take a look first. After all, when I came out this trip, I just thought about it for my husband. I have to accomplish something. Otherwise, this trip to the north will be in vain."

"Husband, do you think they will really take action?"

"Hehe... Maid Guanyin, before, I wasn't sure about being a husband, but it was Cheng Sanlang who came up with this imperial examination reform."

"The insidious tricks inside can be said to be stabbed at the vital points of those aristocratic families."

"If they can't grasp this opportunity, wait until next spring for the improvement of the imperial examination system to be implemented.

At that time, they can only watch helplessly, the power of the aristocratic family will gradually decline. "

"Thus, those aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty, in order to protect their interests.

For the continuation of their families that have been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, they will definitely do something. "

Speaking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but sighed a little.

"Speaking of which, it was a fluke, because of Wang Xuance's incident that day, he aroused his appetite for being a husband."

"I just wanted to meet Wang Xuanceqing, but considering Ke'er and Cheng Sanlang should be familiar with him, so I called them."

"In the end, I don't know why the topic turned to the imperial examination, but Cheng Sanlang was talking nonsense again..."

#####

Speaking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but wiped his face when he saw the strange smile of the lady Guanyin's servant from the corner of his eye.

"Well, my husband mistakenly thought this kid was talking nonsense at the time, but I never thought about it.

The improvement of the imperial examinations that had troubled her husband and even the important officials in the court for many years was solved by this kid's light words. "

"As a husband at the time, I didn't even know what to say, alas..."

Listening to her husband's words, Empress Changsun shook her head helplessly.

"It's normal that my husband didn't expect it. After all, the imperial examination system has existed for decades since the previous dynasty. Countless capable people and wise men wanted to improve it, but they couldn't get in."

"He, Cheng Sanlang, is not a gentleman who likes to read poetry and classics. Who would have imagined that he also has means for the imperial examination system."

Hearing his beloved wife defending himself, Emperor Datang felt warm in his heart, smiled heartily and nodded repeatedly.

"That's right, Guanyin maidservant, what you said can be regarded as speaking of the heart of a husband..."

While the husband and wife were joking in low voices, a fast horse galloped to the gate of the Jinyang Palace.

Soon, a big inner guard copied the letter written by His Highness the Crown Prince and rushed towards the depths of Jinyang Palace.

#####

Zhao Kun took the letter, and after hearing the whisper of the Ouchi guard, his face suddenly changed.

Looking back at His Majesty, who was still smiling with Empress Changsun, he finally braced himself and strode forward.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to announce."

"Huh?" Li Shimin turned his head in astonishment, seeing Zhao Kun's eyes beckoning him over, his heart skipped a beat.

Empress Changsun glanced back and smiled sweetly at her husband.

"Husband, since you have something to do, go ahead and get busy. I just happened to go over to see the little one."

"Alright, I'll go there first for my husband, and I'll come back to visit you later."

Li Shimin nodded, seeing Empress Changsun leaving accompanied by Hu Shanggong.

Then he turned around and looked towards Zhao Kun. "whats the matter?"

"Your Majesty, at the end of last month, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to Yangzhou, Jiangnan Road, and stayed in Jiangdu Palace. There were a large number of killers trying to murder His Highness the Crown Prince that night."

"Fortunately, General Cheng had already made arrangements. His Royal Highness did not spend the night in Jiangdu Palace, but returned to Yangzhou Wharf..."

While speaking, Zhao Kun took advantage of the situation and handed over the letter written by Prince Li Chengqian to Li Shimin.

The emperor of the Tang Dynasty tightly pursed his lips, and couldn't wait to open the letter, carefully reading the contents of the letter.

Zhao Kun stood aside, not daring to disturb him. At this moment, he could clearly feel that although His Majesty was silent, the coldness in his eyes was really heart-warming.

#####

Inside the house, Ma Zhou, Fang Xuanling, Li Ji and other three confidant officials gathered here.

At this moment, the news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was assassinated in Yangzhou, Jiangnan Road, was already known to the three people in front of him.

There are so many dead men, and the arrangements are meticulous and meticulous. This is definitely a plan before moving, wanting to kill the prince in one fell swoop.

Such a large-scale effort would have been impossible without the collusion of courtiers and workers and the participation of Yangzhou officials.

But it was precisely because the handwriting was so big that the three people in front of them were silent for a long time, or didn't know how to evaluate this matter.

Li Shimin, who had regained his composure, stroked his long beard and asked gloomyly.

"The three gentlemen~lightnovelpub.net~ have you seen anything?"

As His Majesty's confidant, Fang Xuanling, who has been standing in the phase for more than twenty years, was the first to answer.

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the old minister, I am afraid that this kind of arrangement is not only aimed at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

"It should have a lot to do with the reform of the imperial examination."

Ma Zhou, who has never had a good impression of the aristocratic family, was immediately unhappy when he heard Fang Xuanling's words. He could have said something clearly, but he said it in an unreasonable manner. However, considering the background of the prime minister, Ma Zhou simply said it directly. Properly.

"What Fang Xiang said is very true. Your Majesty, I feel that those aristocratic families must have something to do with this matter. Only they have the ability and skill to do this."

"First, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been at odds with the aristocratic family. Second, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince strongly supports the reform of the imperial examination."

"If we talk about the reform of the imperial examination system, the ones whose interests will suffer the most must be the aristocratic families."
