The Lone Star of the Tang Dynasty

Even though some officials in Dali Temple want to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, how can they easily mobilize important officials of the imperial court such as Li Jing? There must be a major mystery hidden behind this matter.

Cui Zhengde was terrified in his heart, realizing that this time he was afraid that he was really in a catastrophe. Once taken to Dali Temple, what awaits him will be a severe torture.

You must know that for the sake of the family's interests, the Qinghe Cui clan has sent people to Dali Temple many times over the years, especially when Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan were in power, when they were friendly with the family.

During the escort, Cui Zhengde's whole body trembled, and his hands and feet were cold.

The guards around him did not give up resistance, and among them were the dead soldiers carefully cultivated by the Cui family, who drew their swords and prepared to fight to the death with the Xuanjia army under Li Jing's command.

Cui Zhengde desperately called for help: "Don't be afraid, we are the children of the Cui family, they dare not touch you!

Before the words fell, a soldier of the Xuanjia Army decisively took out his knife and instantly cut off the head of the rebel, splashing blood on the spot.

Witnessing this scene, Cui Zhengde completely collapsed, struggling and roaring frantically.

Li Jing just indifferently threw a look at Xuanjiajun, and then a dirty and smelly linen cloth was stuffed into Cui Zhengde's mouth, the roughness of the cloth was in stark contrast to the gorgeous brocade robe on his body, indicating how tragic the fate he was about to face would be.

In this seemingly chaotic but orderly arrest operation, the combat effectiveness of the dead soldiers and guards of the Cui family was obviously not at the same level as that of the well-trained Xuanjia Army.

Soon, the battle ended, and the men, horses, and vehicles led by Li Jing drove away.

The people on the streets once again began to talk enthusiastically, relishing the dramatic scene that had taken place today.

"This young master of the Cui family is arrogant and domineering on weekdays, how could he be taken down by General Li himself today?"

"General Li is really majestic!".

"To put it nicely, this kid should be arrested! He is bullying people in our area, who has not been angry with him? He should have been arrested and punished a long time ago!"

"Brother, be careful when you speak, the Cui family is not a ...... in Qinghe."

"I'm afraid this bastard is even more lawless in Qinghe, so he caught it well!".

"What do we have to be afraid of? Since His Majesty ordered him to be arrested, it means that His Majesty is on our side, why should I be afraid of the Cui family?"

"That's right, besides, Your Majesty also implements the imperial examination system, so that the children of the poor family can also pass the examination to enter the ranks, if anyone still wants to take it by force, Your Majesty will definitely not agree!".

The people of the whole street applauded one after another, and the bravado of the young master of the Cui family when he appeared just now was gone, and in a blink of an eye, he became the target of everyone's shouting.

The resentment that people have accumulated on a daily basis is pouring out at this moment.

Unexpectedly, Li Changge's shop also became famous because of this turmoil, and it quickly spread throughout Chang'an City.

Actually, ......

At the beginning, it was not Li Jing, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, and Fang Xuanling, who were important ministers of the court, who learned that Li Changge had opened a shop on the street, but the innocent little princess Changle.

A few days ago, the little princess heard an interesting story about the perfume shop from her sisters in the palace, and unexpectedly received a beautiful gift. She happily showed off to her mother, Empress Changsun, who guessed with her keen intuition that the shop was related to the long-missing prince Li Changge. So he sent someone to secretly verify, and sure enough, the shopkeeper was Li Changge.

The empress informed Li Er of this, and the emperor knew Li Changge's important contribution to the Tang Dynasty and his identity as a mysterious think tank that he relied on, so he immediately ordered Li Jing to secretly protect Li Changge's safety.

Although Li Jing did not know Li Changge's true identity, he understood that Li Changge's existence was of great significance to the country, and even comparable to his own merits. Therefore, for this task, Li Jing accepted it without hesitation.

In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Li Jing quickly dispatched a team of Xuanjia troops, totaling more than 60 people, to prepare them to disguise themselves and carry out secret guards around the store.

But at this time, a young soldier of the Xuanjia Army was born near Zhuque Street, and he revealed a disturbing news to Li Jing: there was a Gongzi brother surnamed Cui on Zhuque Street, a son of the Cui family in Qinghe, who was sent to Chang'an to enter the court as an official, but was stranded on Zhuque Street because the time had not come. Unwilling to be lonely, he opened several stores here to get involved in various businesses, which seemed to be prosperous on the surface, but in fact, he relied on his family power in an attempt to prove his ability.

This Young Master Cui did not have any real business acumen, and his way of doing business was extremely domineering - as long as someone ran the same business as him, he would instruct people to harass and even smash the other party's shop, causing others to be unable to operate normally.

At this time, Li Jing was busy dealing with the Turkic issue, and when he heard such a bad act, he couldn't help frowning and thinking deeply.

Although this kind of public security affairs should theoretically be the responsibility of Dali Temple and Jing Zhaomu, considering that there are such bullies on Zhuque Street where Li Changge lives, how can they guarantee that there will be no chaos? Li Jing immediately made a decision, led 60 members of the Xuanjia Army to Zhuque Street, and arranged for his wife, Hongfunu, to write a memo on his behalf and urgently report it to His Majesty.

Soon after arriving at Zhuque Street, Li Jing decisively handed over Young Master Cui and others to Dali Temple for disposal, and then personally entered the palace to face the saint and report the relevant situation.

......

"Your Majesty, Cui Zhengde, this kid has been captured and is now imprisoned in Dali Temple, and the son of Changge is safe and sound. Li Jing respectfully reported on the Manna Palace.

At this time, the hall was so quiet that it could be heard, only Li Er's gloomy face as iron revealed the monstrous anger in his heart.

After receiving Li Jing's urgent secret letter, Li Er was furious and immediately summoned Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and other confidants to come to the Ganlu Palace.

Du Ruhui didn't know anything about the reason for the summons at first, but when he heard what had happened, his face instantly turned pale. Even ordinary people, as long as they have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty - for example, Li Changge, who has just donated potatoes and sweet potatoes and improved the method of forging iron, was provoked and threatened by the local snake at the beginning of the opening of the store in Chang'an, which is really shocking.

Du Ruhui couldn't imagine how angry Li Er would be about this matter.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the social order was still unstable, and although street fights and deaths occurred frequently, the law was also strict. And if the prince is in danger, it will be really a misfortune for the country. Fortunately, I heard that this matter had been handled by Li Jing personally, and Du Ruhui and the others could feel a little relieved. Fang Xuanling and the others were also panicked, and they tried to comfort Li Er to stabilize the situation.

Li Er's eyes were wide open with anger at this moment, and the resentment in his chest was almost overflowing. He recalled the days when he was an idle prince before he succeeded to the throne, when the family was arrogant and domineering, the court was almost reduced to the private domain of five surnames and seven wangs, and Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji and other brothers also colluded with the powerful to exclude and suppress him in every way. Even in such a difficult situation, Li Er never lost his temper, and even before learning that Li Jiancheng wanted to do wrong, he always maintained his respect and politeness to his father and brother. However, this time, in the face of the bullying of his son by the children of the Cui clan in Qinghe, Li Er's patience finally reached the limit.

"It's okay for you nobles to compete with me Li Er, now that my son is opening a shop in Chang'an City, your family's gentlemen are going to come to touch him?!" Li Er was extremely indignant in his heart. If it weren't for the current Turkic eyesight and the Tang Dynasty facing a frontier crisis, I am afraid that Li Er would have been unable to resist leading the army to attack Qinghe's hometown and completely eradicate all hidden dangers!
