Chapter 449: The books sent by the emperor and the prince have now become clues
"Chu Yu, stay for a while!"
The people who regained their spirits discussed their respective political affairs and left with high aspirations. Li Yan thought of the situation in Tubo and specially stayed with Xue Chuyu to ask about the current situation: "Previously, Blenzan and Wu Youning escaped, and General Xue set up a trap to lure the Tubo enemy.
Plan, what happened next?"
Xue Chuyu said helplessly: "Those two people were smart enough to avoid Tuyuhun and take the road to the Western Regions. They encountered various difficulties and obstacles along the way. Without the secret help of the internal guards, they almost died on the road. Now they have just arrived at the Fourth Town of Anxi..."
Li Yan was stunned: "My side has finished fighting Silla, and they haven't even escaped back to Tubo?"
It was not so difficult for Monk Tang to go to the West to obtain scriptures!
Xue Chuyu sighed: "We don't dare to guide too much to avoid suspicion in Tubo. These two alone did not escape back..."
Li Yan could only console him: "The Tang Dynasty has just launched troops against Silla. Although the losses in this battle were slight, the loss of food and supplies was also considerable. Tubo is not as good as Silla, and the Qinling of the Gar family is even better at knowing soldiers and fighting."
People should go all out once they go on an expedition, and it would be a good idea to rest for a while first."
Xue Chuyu nodded repeatedly: "Sister Pei also said the same thing. The longer the process, the more trustworthy you can win from others."
"According to the information reported by the internal guards, since the supply of tea cakes was cut off, the conflicts among the Wuru tribe have become more serious, and even bloody conflicts broke out. This is all because Li Ge led the promotion of tea!"
"Given the current situation of boiling public dissatisfaction in Tubo, it is estimated that even if the Brenzan Blade does not return to the country, this bandit country will be unable to restrain itself and will come out to plunder..."
First, let tea become popular in Tubo, so that the chiefs and nobles can experience first-hand the benefits of drinking tea all year round, so that they will no longer suffer from constipation and die in pain. Then the supply was suddenly cut off, which indeed further intensified the conflict in Tubo. Regarding the smooth implementation of the plan, Li
Yan Zi was delighted: "With the two famous generals, General Xue and Pei Shilang taking action, I feel relieved!"
After sending away all his confidants, Li Yan returned to the house, hugged Xiao Hei after being separated for a long time, and began to masturbate.
The next ten years in history were originally the ten years when Silla unified the Korean Peninsula and prospered its national power. It was also the ten years when Tibet descended from the plateau and invaded Longxi, causing the Tang Dynasty to collapse several times.
On the Silla side, the Japanese country that was close to it was afraid of the rise of its powerful neighbor and severed diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty at that time. Later, Silla returned to its position as a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and the Japanese country frantically sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty, even if they were on the way.
No matter how many people are drowned, he will not hesitate.
Now that Silla has ceased to exist, the revolts of Goryeo and Baekje have been completely subdued, and the Korean Peninsula has been fully ruled. The last hostile country around the Tang Dynasty, and the only country that can be said to be a serious problem, is the plateau empire Tubo in the west.
However, in Li Yan's view, foreign enemies must be suppressed, but more importantly, his own strength is important, so he first strengthens the confidence of his subordinates, and must continue to improve the system, change injustice, and solve domestic hidden dangers. By then, even if Tubo is not as strong as it is today
In all kinds of crises, the Heavenly Army of the Tang Dynasty is definitely no match.
After stabilizing people's hearts, the details of the Changsun family's murder case of thousands of people came to mind.
He has the blood of the former Sui royal family, and his father was Park Jung-eun, who was a former internal security officer, and the instigator who used him to wipe out the entire Changsun family...
Just as he was thinking about it, Li Yan suddenly moved his brows and said with a smile: "Chongyan, come in!"
Ming Chongyan, with fluttering sleeves and robe, walked in and raised his palms in salute: "Liu Lang, long time no see."
Li Yan said sincerely: "The situation in Jiangnan is thanks to Chongyan. In fact, you don't have to hide your identity now. You could have come with us just now."
Ming Chongyan smiled: "Jiangnan and Di Gong are doing business, Pindao has benefited a lot, and he knows Liulang's good intentions, but the plum blossom inner guard still has some effect, it is better to be hidden!"
The special status of the Meihua Internal Guard made it difficult for him to think too much, so Li Yan gave him reassurance: "When Your Majesty is healthy, you can consider removing the Plum Blossom Internal Guard and formally incorporate you into the Censorship."
After saying that, he flicked his fingers, and a burst of true energy penetrated Ming Chongyan's palm.
Ming Chongyan felt it for a moment and showed a shocked expression: "What kind of method is this?"
Li Yan said: "This is true energy. It is a kind of power that is different from internal energy that I created based on the method of Jingyuan. There is an internal energy method here. Chongyan, you can refer to it and draw parallels."
Ming Chongyan listened carefully and was moved by it: "Liu Lang is not only the best in martial arts in the world, but also has a broad mind and a master's bearing! Your Majesty's health can be saved, and such problems can be easily solved. Really, even if the sky falls, Liu Lang can't be troubled!"
"
Li Yan laughed: "You don't have to follow blindly. There are many problems in this world that I can't solve. There is some luck in them this time... By the way, I wanted to find you and ask about the situation of the leader of Meihua Pavilion.
"
"We have also discussed that person before. You said that person was the one who supervised the ministers twenty years ago and made the former Zhao Guogong keep his word in the court."
"Shang Gong is this person's deputy, responsible for training secret spies, and there is another deputy who patrols outside. After that person passed away, you gained His Majesty's trust and supplemented the position of deputy cabinet leader, but you have never seen the Meihua Pavilion leader...
…”
Ming Chongyan nodded: "That's exactly it."
Li Yandao: "When we talked at that time, we had not caught Shang Gong. Later, I caught Shang Gong's sisters and asked for some clues."
Ming Chongyan was startled: "Sisters?"
Li Yan said: "Yes, there are two people in Shang Palace, they are twin sisters. I captured the older sister in Luoyang, and executed the younger sister in Chang'an. The former, under the interrogation of Shenji, revealed everything she knew.
He said it, but he didn't say who the leader of Meihua Pavilion was."
Ming Chongyan frowned: "Has she never come into contact with the leader of Meihua Pavilion?"
Li Yan said: "No, of course she has been in contact with him, but because that person was wearing a mask and a long robe, and his voice was deliberately low and repressed, I didn't know who the important person in the court was. I only knew that he was definitely
He is a close confidant of the former Duke of Zhao."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Ming Chongyan narrowed his eyes slightly: "It is very possible that he is a close confidant, because this person was responsible for supervising the ministers, and the ministers did not dare to say a word about him.
No, I can tell the saints their faults."
"But after the late emperor abolished the internal guards, he retained them. I am afraid that this person betrayed Changsun Fuji back then, so that he could receive the late emperor's reward and continue to retain his position!"
Li Yan shook his head: "If it was just a simple defection, the late emperor might not kill him, but he would never let this person become the leader of Plum Blossom Pavilion."
Ming Chongyan thought of Li Zhi's mean and ungrateful character, and nodded suddenly, but then became confused: "What's going on?"
Li Yandao: "I actually speculated on a possibility. This person may have been the late emperor's man from the beginning..."
Ming Chongyan's pupils shrank and he felt a chill in his heart: "But if this is the case, is this person's behavior of supervising the officials intentional?"
Li Yandao: "The former Duke of Zhao has lost his duty as a minister. The most obvious thing is what you just said. No one among the officials dares to say anything wrong about the ministers, but they can say something wrong about the saint..."
"This also aroused the dissatisfaction of the old British Duke and other military generals, who stood clearly beside the late emperor. A group of people with military power from the Guanlong clan turned to support the late emperor, so that the late emperor could safely depose the queen and confirm the power of the emperor!
Since then, the power of the former Duke of Zhao has flourished and declined, and a major rebellion occurred a few years later..."
Ming Chongyan took a breath of air: "If it is really what Liulang said, the late emperor's tactics are really powerful! Let the inner guard use this sharp blade to in turn give Changsun Fuji a fatal blow, then he will leave the leader of Meihua Pavilion afterwards.
, it seems perfectly normal, because I was planning to continue to monitor the ministers!"
Li Yan also sighed secretly when he thought of Uncle Mute.
He has no sympathy for Changsun Wuji. This has been the case in political struggles since ancient times, especially for powerful officials who are above the imperial power. Based on what Changsun Wuji did, it was really not unjust to be killed by Li Zhi. Just imagine Huo Guang
There are too many examples of those who abide by their duties during life, but their family members dared to go so far as to poison the queen, and then were confiscated and exterminated by Liu Bing after death.
But Uncle Dumb is his master after all, and he must be biased. What's more, Li Zhi never thought of exterminating his uncle's family, poisoning a thousand members of the Changsun family in Lingnan, and creating people who are neither human nor ghosts.
"Zuoming", he wanted to find out the murderer of this case.
When Ming Chongyan heard about this bloody case, he couldn't help but be speechless: "So, this case was committed by the leader of Meihua Pavilion?"
"This person had hijacked the ministers back then and was used by the late emperor. Just imagine if this secret spreads out, the late emperor will be fine. However, the officials who were teased will vent their anger on this person, so they keep hiding their faces.
, unwilling to reveal his true identity."
"But Changsun Fuji must know this person's identity. He is afraid that if Changsun Fuji tells his family, it will be spread out in the future, so he just keeps doing nothing and kills the entire Changsun family?"
Li Yan said: "This is just a possibility. The leader of Meihua Pavilion does have a motive, but if it is really this person, then 'Zuoming' should have known about it a long time ago, so that the murderer would not be found all the time. This is the most difficult thing to explain."
Not to mention "helping one's fate", Uncle Dumb is still alive. If it was really the Meihua Pavilion leader who went undercover to him in the past and harmed the entire Changsun family, even if this person kept silent and isolated from the world, he would have gone to seek revenge on him back then.
Bar……
Just as "Zuo Ming" was mentioned, Li Yan analyzed the identity of Changsun Chong's concubine, and finally asked: "Your Ming family almost married Changsun family back then, but later you were concerned about which family he accepted."
Is this woman my concubine?"
Changsun Wuji's eldest son, Changsun Chong, originally married Li Shimin's daughter Princess Changle. Later, Princess Changle died of illness. Changsun Chong had the idea of taking a concubine, so a matchmaker proposed marriage to the Ming family, a prominent local family.
Although the Changsun family was at its peak at that time, they were still being offered as concubines. Ming Chongyan's grandfather was worried about ruining his reputation, so he declined. Of course, he was very happy when something happened to the Changsun family. Ming Chongyan was deeply impressed by this incident and responded immediately.
:
"We actually inquired about it, and it is said that she took the daughter of a great scholar as a concubine. The great scholar did not want to be known as someone who clings to wealth, so he kept it quiet and kept everything simple so that few people know about it."
Li Yan didn't have much hope at first. After all, he sent many internal guards to ask about the old man, but no one could find out. At this time, he was greatly surprised: "Which great scholar is he?"
Ming Chongyan concentrated on recalling it for a moment and showed a troubled expression: "I hope Liulang will forgive me! This... I really can't remember clearly. I only remember that he had a high reputation among scholars. Later, he seemed to compile books for the royal family, but he has lost his reputation recently.
, Pindao's ambition is not in Confucian classics, but because of what his father said..."
Li Yan raised his eyebrows: "Compiling books for the royal family? That's easy to do... Chongyan, come with me!"
Ming Chongyan followed him somewhat inexplicably, and soon came to a room with neatly arranged bookshelves.
Li Yan smiled and showed: "These are the books given by the late emperor, the queen mother and your majesty. At first they were only a selection, and later the whole books were sent over. Most of the books edited by the royal family in recent years are here.
After I moved to Luoyang, I also brought them here!"
Ming Chongyan: "..."
As expected of Rokuro, the way he searches for clues is so unique!
