Chapter 395: According to an insider who does not want to reveal his identity...
Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this. He even sobered up a little from his drunkenness and glanced at Wang Zi'an with some doubts.
"Didn't you say..."
Wang Zi'an burped, held on to the window of the carriage, and looked at the brilliant glow of the setting sun not far away, with a faint smile on his lips.
"This moment, that moment, - it's getting dark -"
…
"The Turks have been destroyed, the cold disaster is about to pass, and your Majesty has no worries anymore. Your Majesty will definitely not miss this golden opportunity, so just go ahead and do it——"
In the carriage, Li Shimin was not drunk at all. When he thought of the prince's farewell words, he subconsciously straightened his chest and back, as if he was rushing to a bloody battlefield.
…
That night, Steward Changsun, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, quietly appeared at the Marquis of Chang'an Mansion again.
Since there hasn't been a showdown yet, this persona must continue to be maintained.
Just like a rich man with a plump figure, he still looks harmless to humans and animals, still fair and fat, and still respectful.
"Your Majesty has said that, Lord Marquis, just go ahead and do it, and leave other trivial matters to the servants——"
Wang Zi'an nodded slightly, stretched out his hand and handed over a piece of paper.
The eldest grandson didn't say much, took the note, said goodbye, and jumped up the high wall. Just when his figure was about to disappear into the night, Prince An's quiet voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Remember to tell your majesty that the account will be split between four and six later - I'm still waiting for the money to pay for the betrothal gift -"
Steward Changsun stumbled and almost fell off the wall.
After living for so long, this was the first time he saw someone who knew that the other person was the emperor, but dared to split the account with the emperor——
After uttering the word "good" dryly, the eldest grandson ran away without looking back.
"Master Ouchi? Are all eunuchs so fierce?"
Looking at the great eunuch who claimed to be the eldest grandson's steward, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but click his tongue in envy.
This is the world I envy.
It's like now, all the martial arts are integrated into one word.
Reckless!
Flying up the wall?
It doesn't exist, he will just hit it directly.
When I was a child, I had a dream, that is, I wanted to be a young knight in the rivers and lakes with fluttering white clothes. I didn’t expect that when I grew up, I would become a human bulldozer...
Standing under the eaves, Wang Zian sighed sourly for a while.
He returned to his study and handed a sealed letter to Gu Zhong.
"Send it to Yifu, just tell me what I said, and add this manuscript to -"
Gu Zhong didn't say much, turned around and walked away quickly.
…
The taste of the year is getting stronger and stronger.
Chang'an City is becoming more and more prosperous and lively. Many merchants from other places gather at the gate of the Great Wall, forming long queues, waiting to enter the city.
Suddenly, a crisp sound came, followed by exclamations, and the crowd queuing instantly became commotion.
When the soldiers guarding the gate came to stop and stop, the crowd slowly calmed down, leaving only a blond and blue-eyed businessman from the Western Regions, looking sadly at the debris on the ground.
The leading soldier glanced at the ground and narrowed his eyes instantly.
Liuli!
Judging from the remaining larger fragments of fine colored glaze, it should be a Buddha statue, with lifelike details and exquisite exquisiteness.
Even he knows that this thing is probably worth a fortune.
He subconsciously glanced at the convoy of this Western Region businessman again, took a deep breath, briefly asked what happened, scolded them impatiently, and dismissed them with a wave of his hand.
It turned out that one of the animals in their convoy was suddenly frightened for some unknown reason, stumbled, and broke one of their own goods.
Isn’t that what you deserve?
What?
To express the goodwill of friendly countries?
Sorry, this is the Tang Dynasty, and our friends from other countries are not qualified yet.
Not to mention that they accidentally broke it, even if it was accidentally broken by someone from the Tang Dynasty, they probably wouldn't be able to get much relief.
But it can be seen from one thing. If the Tang Dynasty people kill their foreign friends, they will most likely have to pay some money, but if the foreign friends kill the Tang Dynasty?
That is a death.
This is the confidence of the people of the Tang Dynasty in this era.
However, after this incident, many interested people could not help but secretly take aim at the convoys of these Western Region merchants.
Unfortunately, this is Chang'an City.
The elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were stationed nearby, and no one dared to act rashly.
The businessman from the Western Region seemed to know that his money was exposed. Although he felt sorry for the unwarranted loss, he did not dare to stay any longer. He queued up to enter the city and found the largest inn to stay.
But the news spread quietly like the wind.
Many people, just as they smelled the bloody shark, immediately started to move quietly.
But this kind of thing is too high-end after all. Except for some thoughtful people, how can ordinary people pay attention to such high-end things.
Their eyes were now attracted by another piece of even more explosive information.
The right servant of the minister, Du Ruhui, the Duke of Cai, was poisoned and his life was in danger!
Chang'an City was in an uproar from top to bottom!
Can you believe this?
But Datang Evening wrote it clearly and clearly. This is a newspaper endorsed by His Majesty, and it is almost semi-official.
What's more, who dares to talk about this kind of thing?
That was the Duke of the country at that time, the Minister of Public Affairs, the emperor’s most trusted confidant, and the pillar of the country!
Some of the information is extensive and has been confirmed from multiple channels.
This is true——
Does anyone dare to poison the current prime minister?
Moreover, it is a colorless and odorless compound poison that is difficult to detect!
The rabbit dies and the fox grieves. The first thing that makes people angry is the entire bureaucracy. This has nothing to do with whether Du Ruhui is a political enemy or not. This is a provocation to the bottom line.
If you can deal with Du Ruhui today, you can deal with yourself tomorrow.
This is intolerable!
However, what is surprising is that after the news spread, except for Wei Zheng and a few old iron-headed boys, few people really spoke out.
Because after that report, there was a meaningful addition.
"According to an informed official from the imperial court who did not want to disclose his identity, the poisoning of Du Ruhui, the right servant, is suspected to be related to a series of policies that were vigorously promoted some time ago..."
The meaning is self-evident.
Many people began to carefully review all the policies and laws implemented by Du Ruhui some time ago, fearing that they would be implicated in them.
This is a big deal that will kill your head!
Soon, the court's actions eliminated some people's last doubts.
It is said that His Majesty was so angry that he smashed a precious glass lamp on the spot and ordered the Third Division to conduct a thorough investigation.
At the same time, Baiqisi detectives were going around, arresting people everywhere. Some teahouses and restaurants where Du Ruhui usually liked to have a few drinks or have breakfast fell from the sky, and they were all sealed, and many people were taken away in groups——
The inspections at the four gates of Chang'an suddenly became stricter, and the number of Wuhou patrolling the streets also increased visibly to the naked eye.
The city foxes and rats with a keen sense of smell restrained their claws one by one, and the security in Chang'an City suddenly improved a lot by accident.
Soon, accurate news came from the Taiyuan Hospital and Cai Guogong's Mansion. When the minister's right servant shot, Cai Guogong Du Ruhui was given a compound strange poison and his life was in danger.
