Chapter 119 Returning to Chang'an (recommendation ticket requested)
When the wounds were washed with wine, these men who hadn't screamed when they were injured screamed heart-piercingly.
"My lord, will there be no accidents?" Liu Da asked worriedly.
Lin Xuan said: "Although it hurts a bit, it's better than losing your life!"
He didn't explain the bacterial infection to Liu Da, since he couldn't understand it anyway.
The corner of Liu Da's mouth twitched for a while, is this also called a little pain?
If it was just some pain, why would they scream so miserable!
However, out of trust in Lin Xuan, Liu Da didn't ask any further questions, and stepped forward and shouted: "The Sir said, this is for your own good, brothers bear with it and pass!"
……
After the wounded soldier's wound was cleaned and bandaged, it was already dark.
Among them were five wounded soldiers who could not ride horses because of their serious injuries. Lin Xuan asked Lin Dongyang and Zhang Qing to ride in a carriage and vacated one for the wounded soldiers.
Lin Xuan rode a horse, and a group of people rushed to Mianchi County.
When he arrived at Mianchi, he revealed his identity and the guard opened the city gate.
"My lord, who are you?" The guard looked at Lin Xuan and his party, most of them were covered with blood, and many of them were wounded, and asked curiously.
Lin Xuan smiled and said, "It's okay, I just encountered some bandits on the road."
The guard was a little strange, he hadn't heard of any bandits nearby.
Lin Xuan didn't want to talk to him, so he said hello, and the group went into the city.
There is no curfew in Mianchi County. Although there are few pedestrians on the street, the inn is still open.
Lin Xuan and the others still chose to live in the inn they stayed in when they came.
The innkeeper still had an impression of Lin Xuan and the others. Seeing that many of them were injured, he didn't dare to ask more questions.
"Liu Da, take a few people to find some doctors." Lin Xuan ordered.
"Yes!" Liu Da took several people to the doctor.
"Shopkeeper, I've taken care of your inn, and I'll pay them double the room fees of those guests." Lin Xuan said.
The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, and said, "Yes, yes, I'll deal with the little one."
Lin Xuan came with soldiers, and those people still called Lord Lin Xuan. Although he didn't know what title Lin Xuan was, he couldn't offend him.
The matter of renting an inn is very simple. When they heard that the dignitaries with titles wanted to rent an inn, those people would pack up their things and leave.
After settling down, Lin Xuan asked the shopkeeper to cook all the good dishes in the store.Take them to their room.
Before the food was served, Liu Da came back with the doctor, who gave medicine to the wounded soldier and left.
"My lord, the doctor said that those who are seriously injured need to recuperate, so they can't hurry." Liu Da said.
Lin Xuan thought for a while and said: "Leave more money for them, no matter whether they are seriously injured or slightly injured, they will stay to recuperate, let them go back after they recover, and tell them that I have business again after going back!"
"Yes, let's go, little one!" Liu Da said.
Lin Xuan had no appetite, so he ate some casually and went back to his room to take a shower.
After taking a shower, Lin Xuan lay on the bed and began to think about the assassination.
When he discovered the assassin, he guessed that the family did it, but after thinking about it carefully, he found it strange.
If the aristocratic family wanted to send someone to assassinate him, it was impossible to send just this few people.
But apart from the aristocratic family, he didn't offend anyone else, which made him puzzled.
After much deliberation, Lin Xuan couldn't come up with a clue, so he could only give up.
……
"What did you say? Someone assassinated Lin Xuan? Is Lin Xuan okay?" Li Shimin asked in shock.
Li Mu said: "Return to Your Majesty, Jingyang county uncle is intact."
Hearing that Lin Xuan was fine, Li Shimin felt relieved and said, "Tell me what's going on."
Li Mu told Li Shimin how Lin Xuan was assassinated.
He spoke very clearly, as if he was there.
"You mean that Lin Xuan killed eleven assassins with his own hands?" Li Shimin asked in surprise.
Li Mu nodded. When he first heard the news, he was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Lin Xuan's martial arts to be so high.
Li Shimin pondered for a while, then asked: "Have you found out who did it?"
"Returning to Your Majesty, the Cui family may have done it, but I'm not sure yet!" Li Mu said.
Li Shimin was furious: "Cha, I want to know the result as soon as possible!"
The assassination touched Li Shimin's bottom line. If he dared to assassinate an earl today, wouldn't he dare to assassinate him tomorrow?
He didn't think about the family at first, because the handwriting was too small, it didn't look like it was done by the family.
Since Li Mu told him it was possible, it was basically confirmed that the aristocratic family did it, but there was no evidence yet.
"Yes!" Li Mu replied.
"When Lin Xuan returns to Chang'an, let him come to see me. Also, I don't want to hear the news of his assassination anymore, understand?" Li Shimin said coldly.
There was cold sweat on Li Mu's forehead, and he said, "Yes!"
He knew that Li Shimin was already dissatisfied with him. He was in charge of the intelligence system, and a count was assassinated. He didn't know it until afterwards, which was already a serious dereliction of duty.
……
It took five days to set off from the fly pond, and Lin Xuan's family finally returned to Chang'an.
As soon as he got home, Lin Xuan hadn't sat down to rest yet, butler Lin came to report that someone was coming from the palace and that His Majesty had summoned him.
Lin Xuan didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he rode to the palace on horseback.
……
"Chen, pay homage to Your Majesty!" Lin Xuan saluted respectfully.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, I heard that you were assassinated on the way?"
"Return to Your Majesty, it's true!" Lin Xuan was not surprised at all that Li Shimin knew about his assassination.
If Li Shimin didn't know, he would be surprised.
Li Shimin asked, "Do you know who did it?"
Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "I don't know, does His Majesty know?"
"The Cui family!" Li Shimin said slowly.
Lin Xuan knew that Li Shimin would not deceive him with this. He also considered the Cui family before, but was ruled out later.
"Your Majesty, why did the Cui family send such a few people here?" Lin Xuan asked a little strangely.
Li Shimin shook his head and said, "I also find it strange, and I haven't investigated it yet."
Lin Xuan bowed his head and remained silent, although he didn't know the reason, but the Cui family sent someone to assassinate him, and they had already made a death feud with Lin Xuan, and he would definitely take revenge back.
"Your Majesty, how are you preparing for the imperial examination?" Lin Xuan asked.
"Why do you ask this?" Li Shimin was a little surprised, he was still talking about the assassination just now, why did he suddenly ask about the imperial examination.
Lin Xuan said: "I have discovered some disadvantages of the imperial examination."
"Disadvantages? The imperial examination system is so good, what are the disadvantages?" Li Shimin asked in confusion.
The emergence of the imperial examination has completely changed the situation that there are no poor families in the upper rank and no nobles in the lower rank.
It broke the family's monopoly on official positions. Although there are still too few officials from poor families, Li Shimin believes that in ten or twenty years, there will be more children from poor families in the court.
Lin Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, it's not that the imperial examinations are bad, but that there are many disadvantages, which cannot effectively prevent the aristocratic families from monopolizing official positions."
Li Shimin suddenly realized that Lin Xuan wanted to take revenge on the family.
"Oh, tell me about the disadvantages of the imperial examination." Li Shimin looked at Lin Xuan with great interest.
Lin Xuan said: "The first point: the imperial examination, once a year, is too frequent."
"Isn't it better to be more frequent? Isn't there more opportunities like this?" Li Shimin asked.
Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "Does Your Majesty know how big Tang is?"
Li Shimin said angrily: "If you have something to say, just say it. Most of the world in the Tang Dynasty was brought down by me. You don't know how big I am!"
Lin Xuan secretly slandered: "It is because of this kind of thinking that you are not willing to let Li Jiancheng be the emperor."
In history, Li Jiancheng can be said to be both civil and military, although his record is a little worse than Li Shimin.
But he is definitely better than Li Shimin in governing the country. Otherwise, why didn't Li Yuan make Li Shimin the prince?
Of course, he only dared to think about these things in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak them out.
Lin Xuan said with a smile, "It's because Datang is too big, those poor kids don't have the money to come to Chang'an to take the exam."
This Lin Xuan has experienced it personally. It takes nearly ten days to run around Luoyang, and this is still under the condition of horses.
Those children from poor families don't have the capital, so most of the children from poor families who came to participate in the scientific examination are from around Chang'an.
