The Rolling Trend

"King Youxian, we can no longer allow the Han people to develop in the Western Regions!"

General Zuo, who had always been taciturn, could not sit still this time.

Losing the area south of the Tianshan Mountains could be considered a fatal blow to the Huns.

Because half of the Huns' iron weapons came from the countries south of the Tianshan Mountains.

"We must take back the land of Shannan!"

The right man inserted the knife in his hand into the leg of mutton in front of him and said viciously.

"Shannan must be recaptured!"

King Kunxie on the side also stood up and responded.

The other small kings and nobles also agreed.

The loss of the Shannan area had threatened the interests of all the Xiongnu nobles, and no one objected to sending troops to Shannan this time.

…

When the Huns were planning to attack the Shannan area, Chang'an City was also turbulent.

Time goes back to a month ago.

The emperor has been suffering from physical illness since many years ago, and the environment of Weiyang Palace is actually not suitable for recuperating and recuperating his body.

Therefore, in early October, the emperor moved to Jianzhang Palace.

The emperor felt a little better that day and saw that the weather was good, so he decided to go out for a walk.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the palace, he saw a strange man appearing in front of him armed with weapons.

"Get him!"

The attendants around him hurriedly stepped forward.

The man saw this and ran away in a hurry.

The guards in Jianzhang Palace joined the pursuit one after another.

The entire Jianzhang Palace was suddenly in a state of turmoil.

Although many people were arrested, the man was not only agile, but also more familiar with the environment in Jianzhang Palace than the palace guards.

In the end, all the guards tried their best but failed to catch the man who broke into the palace.

The emperor was furious and beheaded the princes of Jianzhang Palace.

After returning to the palace, the emperor thought more and more something was wrong. Someone was clearly trying to assassinate him.

"Chao Xiuyi Yushi and Tingwei..."

"promise"

The two little Huangmen rushed out of the palace.

Within half an hour, Censor Xiuyi and Tingwei had arrived at Jianzhang Palace.

"Check it for me, check it carefully, check it carefully...even if you have to dig three feet in the ground, you will find this person for me!"

"I respectfully obey the imperial edict!"

After Xiuyi Yushi and Tingwei received the order, they immediately began to take action.

After a month of investigation, both Tingwei and Xiuyi Censor believed that the man had hid in Shanglin Garden.

Shanglin Garden is a royal garden with an area of ​​320 square kilometers.

In terms of area, it can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented.

Trying to find a person who deliberately hides in Shanglin Garden with just Xiuyi Yushi and Tingwei is no different from finding a needle in a haystack.

"Your Majesty, Shanglin Garden covers a vast area. With the power of Tingwei and Xiuyi Censor, I am afraid it is not in danger. I hope Your Majesty will check it out!"

After some thought, the emperor "ordered the Lieutenant's Mansion to dispatch troops to Shanglin Garden..."

After receiving the emperor's order, the lieutenant did not dare to neglect and immediately sent cavalry from Chang'an and Sanfu areas into Shanglinyuan to search.

After some searching, the man was not caught.

But I unexpectedly discovered something else.

After Censor Xiuyi reported it secretly to the emperor, the emperor again ordered the gates of Chang'an to be closed and the entire city to be cordoned off.

After eleven days of hunting, the Jinwu Guards arrested nearly 6,000 people.

The emperor originally planned to execute all these people.

At this time, good news came from the Western Regions that the Han army had defeated the Xiongnu and the Otuo tribe had surrendered.

The emperor changed his plan under the advice of Jin Rixi and Huo Guang.

"I sent to the Western Regions to guard the border..."

Although the man was not captured during the search in Chang'an City, many illegal activities of the prince's retainers and guests were unexpectedly exposed.

…

At the gate of Bowang Garden, Zheng Huizheng, the prince's family leader, walked anxiously, as if waiting for someone.

About half a quarter of an hour later, a dignified official finally entered Bowang Garden.

"Meet Mr. Shi!"

The person who came was Prince Shaofu Shide.

The two entered Bowang Garden, but Zheng Hui did not take Shi De into the main hall, but instead turned into a small alley.

Shi De frowned when he saw this, but he didn't say anything more and continued to move forward with Zheng Hui.

Soon a remote stone house appeared in front of the two of them.

"You are waiting here and don't let anyone get close..."

After Zheng Hui gave instructions, he invited Shi De into the room.

The two of them sat down, Shi De didn't waste any time and said bluntly, "I'm invited to come here today, but something happened?"

Zheng Hui was about to speak but stopped.

But Shi De was impatient, "If you have something to say, why bother hesitating!"

Zheng Hui sighed, "Shi Degong, it's not just a subordinate who is like this. This matter is really not a trivial matter..."

Shi De was shocked, "What happened? Does it involve the prince?"

Zheng Hui smiled bitterly and nodded.

Shi De seemed to have thought of something, but his expression changed.

"Is that thing related to the prince?"

Zheng Hui shook his head and nodded again.

"That person has nothing to do with the prince, but has something to do with Li Yuan..."

Shi De frowned, "How could Li Yuan be so unwise..."

"How deep did Li Yuan fall?" Shi De continued to ask.

Zheng Hui sighed, "Li Yuan did all this himself..."

Shi De frowned, "Why did Li Yuan arrange for that man to enter the palace?"

Zheng Huidao said, "That person is Zhu Anshi's right-hand man. Li Yuan sent people to the palace just to take advantage of the opportunity..."

Shi De shook his head when he heard this and said, "Zhang Yue, my son, is far away in the Western Regions. How can this method be useful..."

Zheng Huidao said, "Li Yuan's plan is to lure His Majesty to summon the child to Beijing, and then take his life..."

Shi De sighed, "Then the child can't affect His Highness's status, why should he do this?"

Zheng Hui sighed, "This is related to Qinghe Zhang..."

When Shi De heard this, he suddenly realized, "After Zhang Dian, Qinghe Zhang is no longer as good as the previous generation... After His Highness ascends the throne, he should stay away from such short-sighted people!"

…

In Ganquan Palace, the emperor held a memorial in his hand and looked at the people kneeling on the ground expressionlessly.

The person kneeling on the ground is none other than the handsome censor Jiang Chong.

"Does the Crown Prince know about this?"

Jiang Chong said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not know about this!"

"Do you mean that Li Yuan did this without permission?"
