MTL - Great Tang Broom Star-v2 Chapter 1067 Chang'an is uneasy

  Chapter 1067 Changan is uneasy

   "Can't wait any longer."

   On the second day, Wang Gui called the other four people to discuss the matter again.

   "Although Li Ji said that he was old and frail and didn't care about things, he still had Jia Pingan."

Xin Zhao said: "The old man has calculated that it will take Jia Pingan a lot of time to go to the Sanmenxia area. How can he be sober and rational when he sees the piles of corpses? He will definitely search around, and then go to Luoyang to investigate... When he comes back , Chang'an has changed hands."

  Zhang Lin grinned grimly, "Then prepare?"

  The five people looked at each other.

   Qi Qi nodded!

  …

  Jiucheng Palace was a summer resort for the royal family in the former Sui Dynasty. There are many advantages here, the first is that it is cool, and the second is that the distance is not far, the whole journey is more than 300 miles, and it can be reached in three days. If you switch horses in a hurry and don't change people, you can get there in one day.

  Jiucheng Palace in summer is unbelievably cool, living in the palace is more comfortable than spring and autumn.

  After arriving at the Jiucheng Palace, the emperor and empress also like to go out for a walk after handling the government affairs every day, looking for seclusion and victories in the mountains.

  The prince supervised the country, and the remaining sons were brought here.

  Ten-year-old Li Xian and eight-year-old Li Zhe traveled with the empress, and the palace people behind them were still holding Taiping, who was more than one year old.

  The mountains are undulating, green and quiet, and occasionally streams and rivers are seen, which makes people want to stop and rest.

   "I don't think the matter of silver is a thief."

  Li Zhi and Wu Mei walked side by side, in front of them were five guards, all of them riding a hundred horses.

  Wu Mei said: "The concubine thinks that this is something that only the brave will dare to do. With two hundred soldiers accompanying me, even if I face more than a thousand thieves, I will not be afraid."

  Li Zhi smiled, "Speak boldly."

  Wu Mei said: "I'm afraid some people are playing tricks."

"I've thought about two possibilities. One is that those people want to make Goro look bad." Li Zhi analyzed very clearly, "What should we do if such a major event happened in the prince's supervision country? But this matter is too risky, once it is discovered, Can they bear my anger?"

  Wu Mei said softly: "The second type..."

  Li Zhi said with a sullen face, "Someone wants to rob money. The nobles don't have the guts, and the local tyrants can't do it alone... Jia Ping'an would be appropriate."

   "I went safely, those people are also unlucky."

   Li Xian heard this from behind the empress, and asked, "Aye, why do you say that?"

  Li Zhi glanced back at him, "Jia Ping'an is a famous general. When those thieves meet him, they will collapse immediately, but failure is inevitable."

  Li Xian hummed, "Then...what if it's an accident?"

   "No accident." Li Zhi said indifferently: "Li Ji and others strongly recommend him as the next Datang handsome talent. What makes a handsome talent is bold and careful. If he stumbles against the thieves, what a handsome talent!"

  Wu Mei smiled and said, "Liu Lang doesn't need to worry about this."

  Li Xian nodded, "Yes! I was worried that Zhao Guogong would be careless."

  Wu Mei currently has four children, the eldest is the prince, the second and third is the prince, and the fourth is Xiaojiao and Taiping. At present, the prince calls Jia Pingan his uncle, but Taiping still doesn't know how to call someone, and the remaining two children call him Zhao Guogong sternly.

   Li Xian was thinking about something, Li Zhe looked a little dull...

   Turning around the mountain pass, the emperor just wanted to point to the scenery ahead when he heard someone shout: "Assassin!"

  The Empress looked to the left at the same time.

   On the left is a small slope, which is one person high. At this moment, three men in black suddenly stood on it, and they all pointed their bows and arrows at them

  The emperor subconsciously stretched out his hand to pull the queen back, but the queen rushed up... He hurriedly pulled the queen back, and the couple looked at each other.

  In an instant, two hundred cavalry rushed behind them.

   With a loose hand, a combined shield with two sides formed, blocking the left side of the empress.

  The right side is a steep slope. A Baiqi rushed over and looked crookedly about to fall, but still opened the combination shield.

Puff puff!

  The arrow hit the combination shield, and the accompanying Qianniuwei reacted, roared and drew his sword and rushed over.

   This is humiliation!

   Ke Baiqi's reaction was faster.

  Yang Dashu shouted: "Archer..."

  There have been hundreds of riders with their bows and arrows.

   "Shoot the arrow!"

  The archers released their arrows, and the assassin above fell down to avoid it, while the five hundred cavalry in front had already turned around and drew their swords and charged forward.

  One of the three assassins stood up, shouting, "They're coming up."

   Immediately, this person was surrounded by arrow rain.

  The five hundred cavalry rushed up the small slope, and the archers began to search for the surrounding targets, forming a human barrier around the empress.

   Li Zhi sullenly asked, "Who?"

   "Someone committed suicide!"

  The assassins were not Baiqi's opponents, one was killed and the other committed suicide.

  Yang Dashu shouted: "Search!"

   This is the program.

  The family of the Empress Dowager was surrounded by Baiqi and listened to the movement around them.

   "SAFE LEFT!"

   "Safe below right!"

   "Fifty steps ahead are safe!"

   "Receive the shield!"

  The folding shield was put away, and the emperor said with a cold face, "Maybe you can identify it?"

  Yang Dashu said: "Brothers just took a look. Judging from the calluses, they are all good hands with knives, and their archery skills are not bad. Judging from the teeth, life should be good, and they often eat meat..."

  The final conclusion is not very good.

   "Cannot be identified."

  The emperor nodded, "I am very pleased that you waited so fast today."

  There must be a reward when you look back.

  Yang Dashu stared at the surroundings and said, "This place is not safe, Your Majesty, please turn back."

  Li Zhi followed the good advice and turned back immediately.

   Arriving in front of Jiucheng Palace, the accompanying officials have already heard the news.

   "Go and suppress!"

  Xu Jingzong's face was livid, and he sprayed Xue Rengui all over his face.

   Xue Rengui gritted his teeth and set off with the people.

   "Your Majesty is safe, and the ministers are very happy."

  The emperor nodded, "If Baiqi hadn't responded properly, I would be in danger today."

   This set was created by Jia Pingan when he was in charge of Baiqi, and Qianniuwei was compared.

  The Qianniu guards knelt down to plead guilty, and the emperor said, "You are loyal, I know it all. But it's time to practice well."

  The people of Qianniuwei were ashamed and angry.

  Back to their place, the monarch and ministers began to analyze.

   "Your Majesty, I think that this matter is mostly done by the aristocratic family."

  Li Yifu's smile disappeared, and his face was sullen, "Your Majesty has suppressed them too much these years. These people are so bold, they must have done it."

   "What about the remnants of the former Sui Dynasty?" Shangguanyi asked.

  Xu Jingzong said: "The remnants of the former Sui Dynasty are all old and dead."

yes!

  During the many years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, those remnants of the former Sui Dynasty also made a fuss for a while, and then died down, most of them died of old age.

   "Why did they do it?"

  Xu Jingzong was analyzing the motive, "Chang'an has a prince in charge of the country, so what if they succeed in the assassination? I will return to Chang'an to assist the prince to ascend the throne..."

  The emperor's face was a little dark.

  The queen said in a low voice: "Xu Jingzong is loyal."

  The emperor nodded.

   "The first thing the prince does when he ascends the throne is to wipe out the possible murderers, whoever did the extermination of the clan. Those who dare to assassinate in this way are either crazy or have other plans."

   "That's true." Shangguanyi thought for a while, "What are they trying to do?"

  The Queen suddenly said: "What if they have plans in Chang'an?"

  The emperor clenched his fists with both hands, "immediately send people to Chang'an and tell the prince to be careful in everything. In addition... mobilize the surrounding government soldiers to stand by at the foot of the mountain. If something goes wrong, I will lead the army back to Chang'an."

  Everyone took orders and left.

  In the hall, the empress sat blankly.

   "Goro is still young!"

  The queen said slowly: "The concubine thought of peace. If he was in Chang'an, he would naturally be able to protect Wulang well. But he happened to go to Luoyang to meet the convoy, just right!"

  The emperor said in a deep voice: "If Luoyang is also a group of people who did it, then this matter is not easy. It can be done..."

   "The gentry have this ability, but the gentry do great things and cherish their lives, they won't." Wu Mei analyzed, "The only one who dares to do it with such ability is..."

   "Guan Long!"

  …

   Li Ji lay at home feeling a little weak.

   "It's very hot today, Ah Lang, let's rest for a few more days."

  Li Yao just sent the medical officer away, and came in sweating profusely.

   "How's it going outside?"

   Li Ji asked.

  Li Yao said: "There is nothing outside."

  Li Ji stared at the void, "Your Majesty said that you only need to clean up Changsun Wuji and his accomplices, but in the following years, your Majesty has become more and more ruthless, and those people in Guanlong have been weakened..."

  Li Yao said with a smile: "The gentry are also having a hard time."

   "Yes!" Li Ji said with emotion: "Your Majesty wants to clean up the future troubles for his children and grandchildren, but it's a rough idea to rule the roost. But if you are too aggressive, be careful of jumping over the wall."

  Li Yao picked up a small quilt and covered him on his knees. Looking at the ice in the ice basin, he was shocked by the cold air and shivered.

   "Ah Lang, Guan Long is gone. As for the gentry, you said that the gentry seem to be proud, but they can do great things and cherish their lives. They look calm on the outside, and they are more greedy than anyone else in their hearts. They dare not."

"The gentry...don't dare." Li Ji said: "The only thing the gentry can do is hold their heads high and bend their waists. They have been like this since the former Han Dynasty. They are usually high above them. Once the situation is in jeopardy, they will join hands to protect themselves. Then I struggled for a long time, left my reserve, and went to work for those so-called rebels or barbarians in their mouths."

  Li Yao was surprised, "Isn't that a fool?"

  Li Ji said with a smile: "The grass on the wall is not as reserved as them, and their reserved confidence comes from the money, food and population after joining forces. What else...Xiao Jia said that he has monopolized the right to education, and indirectly monopolized the top talents."

   "Ah Lang, someone is coming from the palace."

  …

  It's afternoon.

  Drumming on Sixth Street!

"closed!"

  The general is shouting.

  In the middle of Suzaku Avenue, two men stood there with the corners of their mouths slightly raised.

   "After tonight, Chang'an will be restless!"

  The sound of horseshoes came suddenly.

"who?"

  The general shouted loudly, someone took a look, "I can't see clearly...it seems to be..."

   "It is Zhao Guogong who is back." Someone shouted from the top of the city.

  The sergeant who was closing the door turned around, "Do you want to open the door?"

  The general nodded, "Wait until Zhao Guogong passes."

  More than a hundred riders rushed in like a whirlwind, and Jia Pingan asked the general, "Is there anything unusual?"

  The general saluted, "Don't worry, Duke, there is nothing unusual."

   "It's Jia Ping'an who is back!"

  Xin Zhao's eyelids twitched.

  Wang Gui gloomily glanced at the galloping cavalry in the distance, and walked slowly to the side.

   "Just over a hundred riders, it's nothing to worry about."

  Jia Pingan galloped all the way to the Daming Palace.

   "Is Your Highness here?"

"exist!"

   Someone ran to report.

  Li Honggang sent his ministers back and was resting.

   "Your Highness, the Duke of England has said that he must be on guard in the next few days. Before Zhao Guogong returns, he must be careful."

   Zeng Xianglin whispered.

   "Why?"

   Li Hong took a sip of the tea, looking at the dense tea leaves inside, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

  Aye thinks he can't even drink a sip of strong tea in Jiucheng Palace, and he doesn't know if three tablets can guarantee it.

Zeng Xianglin said: "The British public said that the incident in Luoyang is a bit strange. The two hundred soldiers accompanying him should be able to run rampant in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Those thieves are helpless. But they dare to spy and harass them several times. Either they are stupid, or there are big families who want to do it... But once such a thing is done, it will attract endless investigations from the court, and the risk is too great..."

  Li Hong put down his teacup, "So... this is to transfer uncle out first?"

"yes."

  Li Hong got up, "Take my uncle out, only the elderly British Duke is in the city. Cheng Zhijie and others have long been unable to mount their horses, and they are getting old. If someone makes a move, they will be caught off guard, and the Daming Palace will be in danger."

   Zeng Xianglin said: "The Duke of England means to make the Daming Palace more vigilant."

   "What else did he say?"

  Li Hong was not afraid.

   Zeng Xianglin said: "The Duke of England also said that a general should be in command. He wanted to come, but he was weak...afraid of being watched, so he became bolder."

   "So he is a deterrent in the house."

  Li Hong understood, "This is fiction."

  Zeng Xianglin nodded, "However, most of the troops in the city were taken away by His Majesty. If someone suddenly made trouble, Chang'an might be in chaos."

  Li Hong frowned, "Who can use it?"

  He was thinking.

   "Your Highness!"

  A servant came in, Li Hong said dissatisfied: "What's the matter?"

   Zeng Xianglin shouted: "What are you doing so suddenly? Turn around and receive the punishment."

  The servant's heart shuddered, "Your Highness, Mr. Zhao Guogong is asking to see you."

  The prince was startled for a moment, then laughed, "Uncle is so fast?"

  Jia Ping'an entered the Daming Palace, and Li Jingye followed beside him.

   "Meet Zhao Guogong!"

   "Mr. Zhao is back?"

  There are also many officials on duty in the Daming Palace, and they were all surprised when they saw Jia Ping'an.

   "It's wrong to calculate the time!"

  Even Li Hong couldn't understand.

   "The minister galloped all the way, and met more than a thousand thieves who intercepted and killed the convoy on the mountain road."

  Jia Pingan saw that the prince looked slightly surprised, but not flustered, and was extremely satisfied.

  Dai Zhide and others came after hearing the news.

   "Where are those thieves?" Zhang Wenjin asked.

  Li Jingye said dissatisfiedly: "Since brother is gone, he will be completely destroyed."

  Zhang Wenjian said in embarrassment: "If the old man cares, he will be in chaos."

  Jia Pingan glanced at the ministers and said: "Silver is in the follow-up, and it will take more than half a month to reach Chang'an."

  Dai Zhide was surprised, "Zhao Guogong has rushed to Chang'an? The prince has me waiting by his side, why is there such a hurry?"

  The assistant ministers all felt that Jia Pingan came back in a hurry just for the sake of power.

   "It's all right."

   Jia Pingan said.

  When the ministers saw him but did not leave, they knew that he had something private to say with the crown prince.

   Doesn't this person trust us?

   Domineering!

  Dai Zhide and others resigned.

  Jia Pingan glanced at the hall, "Your Highness is tired of writing, but don't forget to practice. Come, go for a walk."

   Zeng Xianglin just wanted to follow, when Jia Pingan glanced at him.

   Zeng Xianglin knew that he had something private to say, so he looked at the prince. After the prince nodded, he stayed in the hall.

  The two were walking slowly outside. Seeing Jia Pingan's sun-tanned face, which was covered with dust, the crown prince moved slightly, "Uncle is in such a hurry to come back, but what did you find?"

   "Those thieves are from Guan Long."

Jia Ping turned around and saw Li Jingye following behind, "Prince, people in Guanlong can't take risks for one hundred thousand taels of silver. Once the interception is successful, His Majesty will rush back from Jiucheng Palace, and then make a big claim to the world. Such things It seems to be secret, but the movement of more than a thousand people can't be concealed if I really want to find out afterwards, so... Chang'an is uneasy!"

  The prince's heart trembled, and he realized why his uncle had to travel so hard.

   "What are they trying to do?"

   "Luoyang cut the silver, there must be some movement elsewhere. I even doubt that they will launch something in Jiucheng Palace, such as assassinating His Majesty."

  The Prince's complexion was slightly pale.

   "Don't worry." Jia Ping'an smiled, "If so, Chang'an is definitely the center of their mobilization. What can they do?"

  The prince's eyes were slightly cold, "Conspiracy!"

   "They are very familiar with these things... His Majesty has spared no effort to attack Guan Long these years. After suffering heavy casualties, they wanted to struggle to the death. His Majesty went to Jiucheng Palace, this is the best opportunity."

   Li Zhi's methods of cracking down on the Guanlongmen faction are becoming more and more unscrupulous, which is a step further than in history, and has made a huge interest group to death.

  This is completely different from the warm boiled frogs in history, and it is much more violent.

   Even when dealing with the gentry, he is the same. Many times his methods make the eyelids of the courtiers jump wildly.

   "How dare they do this?" Li Hong felt that Guan Long had been silent for a long time, which shouldn't be the case.

"Your Majesty has dealt too hard with them." Jia Pingan said: "At first they were thinking that the country of the Tang Dynasty would not last for many years. Look at the former Sui Dynasty, but the second generation. The third generation of the Tang Dynasty is already very great. So they I wanted to wait for the opportunity. Unexpectedly, Liaodong was pacified, the Wa Kingdom was gone, and the Great Silver Mountain was even found."

  Li Hong was thoughtful, "The Tubo are also dormant, the Turks are lingering, the Tang Dynasty is thriving, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the army is extremely powerful. Such a Tang... makes them despair?"

"clever!"

  Jia Pingan said with relief: "This is their motivation. As for the gentry, even if they know about it, they will stand by and watch, or even make trouble. Do you know why?"

  Li Hong shook his head. Although he has observed politics for several years, his vision is still not wide enough.

Jia Pingan said: "The gentry are often given preferential treatment when they become officials. After Xianqing, His Majesty's attitude towards the gentry changed drastically, and he kept suppressing the gentry. Then the new school rose, the school began to expand, and the foundation of the gentry was shaky... and Da Compared with the Tang Dynasty, they are more willing to go back to the former Sui Dynasty, or to an earlier time."

  Li Hong stopped and turned sideways, "They hate Aye!"

"right!"

  Li Zhi recruited the gentry to deal with Guan Long, and when Guan Long was destroyed, he reversed and began to suppress the gentry, as if he lifted his pants and refused to recognize anyone.

  Li Hong looked at Jia Pingan, "Uncle, is this dangerous?"

  He saw his uncle smiling.

"I am here."

  …

Good night!
