"Since I came to the throne, this is the first time someone dares to assassinate me. How brave!"

The emperor's sudden kick caught the woman off guard and she fell to the ground. Then, the guards around her jumped over one by one, and they all took down her with flying swords.

Less than ten seconds later, extremely fast.

Li Jia gasped for breath, and cold sweat broke out on his back. If he hadn't had good eyesight and could see the hairpin in his hand, he would have been seriously injured, and his plan to conquer the Southern Tang Dynasty would have been in vain.

If you are injured by this hairpin, you will have to stay in bed even if you don't die. After all, there is no tetanus to fight. If it gets rusty, it will be really doomed.

The woman lay on the ground, panting, her chest heaving, but her face was still stubborn, and she said bitterly: "You shameless person, you deserve to die."

"What a pity!" Li Jia sighed: "In this world, who can survive and care about being shameless?"

Looking at that charming face, hot figure, a pair of exciting long legs, and exaggerated and out-of-proportion breasts, Li Jia felt pity.

"You really know me very well. You found me based on the model you like. It's just a bit silly. In this world, there are still people who use assassins."

Li Jia shook his head and said casually. He sat back down and took a mouthful of cold grapes, spit out the skin, glanced at the murderous guard, and said with regret:

"I am a compassionate person. I never see a woman crying. I pull her down, knock her unconscious, and bury her directly, and let her leave in her sleep."

When the woman heard this, she closed her eyes and remained silent.

"Your Majesty is merciful -" At this time, Tian Zhong, the young eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, ran over in a hurry, panting and turning pale. After seeing that the emperor was fine, he took a breath this time and said sharply:

"These damn slaves, they didn't even notice this person, and they dragged them down one by one and killed them!"

As soon as these words were said, the serving maids and eunuchs knelt down one by one, shivering, lowered their heads, sweating profusely, and their faces were pale, but no one dared to refute, otherwise they would only die more miserably.

"Forget it!" After the assassin was pulled out, Li Jia glanced at Tian Zhong and said casually:

"Isn't something happened yet?"

"They have failed in their duties and should be held accountable!" Tian Zhong smiled and poured a glass of wine for the emperor, and then said: "But the saints are merciful, and the slaves are naturally happy. The death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty cannot be escaped."

"Go down one by one to receive thirty sticks, and you must fight them hard."

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!" The palace maids and eunuchs kowtowed one by one, happily.

"Go down!" The emperor waved his hand, looked at Tian Zhong, and said:

"When did this assassin enter the palace? Who handled it? Who arranged it? It's up to you to find out personally."

The emperor's words seemed careless, but Tian Zhong felt something in his heart, and his face immediately became serious.

Having served the emperor for several years, I naturally understand that the more careless you are, the more attention you need to pay.

"Your Majesty—" Wu Qing from the Sound Department quickly rushed over, bowed his head, and knelt down.

Tian Wen, the commander of the Imperial City Department responsible for the emperor's safety, came quickly and knelt down silently.

"There are many people in this world who want my life. After all, the rise of the Tang Dynasty is equivalent to grabbing meat from their mouths, and there will naturally be constant competition."

Li Jia didn't look at these people. He drank by himself and said softly:

"Since the fall of the former Tang Dynasty, various countries have been in conflict, and countries have been prosperous and destroyed. It is only natural that many absurd things have happened. Some monarchs died in wars, and some committed suicide. Some were captured and killed, and some were poisoned by prisoners.

However, I have never heard of anyone being killed by an assassin."

"Absurd, how absurd!" An angry roar sounded, and the hearts of those who knelt were shocked.

"If I hadn't been careful, I would have fallen into the trap and become the first emperor to be killed by an assassin, making the world laugh."

The more he spoke, the angrier Li Jia became. Damn it, he was almost famous forever. He was assassinated because of his greed for beauty. It was a joke for the ages.

As a time traveler, although he is greedy for power and wealth, he has always maintained a benevolent heart. Unless it threatens his power, he can still let go of small mistakes in daily life.

Few monarchs who are too harsh, especially those who treat those around them harshly, will have good consequences.

As a result, there was such a big mistake.

"I deserve to die!" Several people quickly admitted their mistake and only asked the emperor to calm down.

"Humph, you deserve to die every day, but few actually die!!" The emperor said coldly, which made these few feel embarrassed.

"In the capital of a country, in the palace, there is such a mistake, it really makes me look bad."

"I'll give you another chance today. This is the last chance."

Li Jia's tone became calmer. Damn it, he was almost frightened. He was in high spirits just now. Suddenly, his brain reacted, but his body was still the same as before. If there was a problem, he would be permanently disabled.

"Nuo——" Several people's faces turned red and they responded in unison.

Soon, the news of the emperor's assassination spread outside the palace, and several prime ministers immediately asked for an audience. Li Jia also actively told the ministers that I was in good health and that it was a false alarm. Stop guessing and go and do what you should do.

In this way, the storm slowly subsided, but it was far from over.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the emperor directly pointed the shit basin at the Southern Tang Dynasty, saying bluntly that the puppet country is determined to destroy us. This is declaring war on the rising Tang Dynasty. How can there be no reason not to fight?

So, the war had been going on for almost a month, and Datang officially declared war.

As the official mouthpiece, Di Bao naturally could not ignore it. It immediately issued a wave of declarations of war and declared in a big way that the puppet country was shameless and even sent assassins to assassinate the emperor.

Later, he shamelessly said that the Tang Dynasty had captured the four states in southern Fujian, wiped out 20,000 divine guards, and was besieging Qianzhou, and called on the people and officials of Jiangxi to actively surrender and return to the true embrace of the Tang Dynasty.

After being beaten for a month with their heads covered and their faces covered, except for the high-level officials, how could the ordinary people know that the imperial court was at war.

As soon as the Di newspaper was published, the people were instantly excited, and we were at war again.

You can talk about anything.

Merchants admire the art of cultivating goods and have a natural aversion to war. Of course, there are some who take evil ways and prepare to hoard goods for a living. Unfortunately, the Changping warehouses set up by various governments last year will teach them how to behave.

If it doesn't work, then use the royal method to treat it.

Ordinary people naturally hate war, which means an increase in the cost of living and the advent of disasters.

If you win, everyone will be happy, but if you lose, raising taxes is still a small matter, and you are afraid of catching the strong men, which is fatal.

It's a pity that this world has never belonged to the common people. How can these common people ever be referred to as ordinary civilians, the mud-legged people who work at sunrise and rest at sunset?

Only the army is the happiest, which means meritorious service.
