"So it turns out that even if Park Zheng-eun returns, a child who has long since left the inner guard and has a child from a foreign country will have an extremely embarrassing status and cannot attract attention at all. However, he has the blood of the former Sui royal family and can attract the attention of the inner guard.
Attention from the top.”
Guo Yuanzhen understood the whole story and said solemnly: "Liu Lang, this case won't involve the remnants of the former Sui Dynasty, right?"
Li Yan shook his head: "The former Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty acted rebelliously, which led to great chaos in the Central Plains, wars and devastation, and the loss of people's hearts. Now that we have founded the Tang Dynasty for more than fifty years, the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful, and the world is peaceful. Anyone who wants to restore the previous dynasty is stupid.
Ignore those delusional people!"
Guo Yuanzhen said: "That's right. There's no way that idiot like that can accomplish anything. He can kill the entire Changsun family without anyone noticing and still hasn't exposed his flaws. That's amazing. But even if this person doesn't want to restore the country,
Perhaps it is also closely related to the former Sui Dynasty, otherwise it will not be enough to win Park Jong-un's trust..."
Li Yan agreed: "This is very possible. According to what I know about Park Zhengen so far, he lives alone. Apart from being close to his father Yang Wenhui, he rarely interacts with his mother, so his other family members have not received much.
With useful information and such a temperament, I won’t simply trust outsiders.”
Guo Yuanzhen guessed: "Perhaps it is not that he is lonely, but that he is incompatible with Silla's family after knowing that he is from the Central Plains. Later, he made mistakes, but showed his strength and was appreciated by Jin Famin, and finally became Jin Renwen's captain of the bodyguard.
An opportunity to go to the Central Plains honestly."
Li Yan said: "Whether this is a deliberate move or a mistake, we don't know, but no matter which way it is, he will definitely be very wary when he goes to a place he is unfamiliar with."
Guo Yuanzhen said: "I'm wondering now, how did the person who instigated him know that he was of the blood of the Yang family in the first place? This should be the most secretive thing. Park Zhengen would not foolishly tell others, he should have the same
There is no token..."
Having said this, he let out a light sigh and his eyes lit up: "Could it be that his father Yang Wenhui really left a token so that he could get in touch with a senior member of the inner defense team?"
However, when he thought that many of the high-level officials before the abolition of the Internal Security Bureau were no longer alive, Guo Yuanzhen felt a little discouraged: "Unfortunately, it is too difficult to investigate according to this line of thinking. Who dares to rashly admit that he has anything to do with the previous dynasty?"
Li Yan smiled and said: "Actually, there is no need to go to such trouble. Just start from the highest level of the inner guard and go down layer by layer."
Guo Yuanzhen did not react for a while: "Isn't the highest ranking member of the inner guard Sun Fuji, the leader of the Grand Pavilion? The clan members of the Changsun family were probably killed by Pu Zhengen. How could he contact Changsun Fuji? Besides, at the end of the previous dynasty, this man
The former Zhao Guogong was also one of the first to revolt. As a bloodline of the former Sui royal family, it is inevitable that he would be hostile..."
Li Yan reminded: "It's not the third chief of the cabinet, it's the previous one."
Only then did Guo Yuanzhen understand: "Mr. Pei! That's right...this man is indeed closely related to the former Sui Dynasty."
The first chief of the inner guard was Chang Sun Sheng, and the second was Pei Ju, the Duke of Wenxi County.
Pei Ju followed Chang Sun Sheng's team and further divided the Turks. Later, he turned to the Western Regions and wrote the "Jinglue of the Western Regions" which is still very useful to this day. However, this person was too accepting of orders, such as asking all the barbarians from the Western Regions to come to worship.
, all the counties and counties they passed through had to hold grand welcome and farewell ceremonies, which cost a lot of money and exhausted the country's strength. It was precisely because of Yang Guang's character that he was very happy about success. As expected, Yang Guang was very happy and said, "If I have a minister like this, I have nothing to worry about."
He has great trust in Pei Ju.
This man had a vicious mind. Later, when Yang Guang was in ruins in Jiangdu, the Imperial Guards under his command who were born in Guanzhong were homesick. Pei Ju was also with him at that time. Seeing that the situation was not good, he let the Imperial Guards vent their anger in the city and harmed the women of Yangzhou. He won these
Because of people's favor, when he killed the king, many of Yang Guang's ministers were killed together, but Pei Ju was unscathed, and he turned around and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.
If it ended here, he would be regarded as a treacherous minister in history. The key is that later Pei Ju defected to the Tang Dynasty and became an upright and loyal minister. He spoke frankly to Li Shimin.
Therefore, there is an evaluation that "a sycophant in the Sui Dynasty became loyal to the Tang Dynasty because of a change in his nature. If the emperor is evil and hears his faults, loyalty will turn into sycophancy; if the king is happy to hear his outspoken words, sycophancy will turn into loyalty."
If this kind of person becomes the leader of the inner security cabinet, no one will believe him if he says he has not trained a team. Li Yan dug out Pu Zhengen's origins, and after clarifying the context, he immediately focused on Pei Ju.
After all, among Yang Guang's most trusted ministers at that time, Pei Ju would definitely be among the top few. He was also the leader of the Imperial Guard. It was nine out of ten that he was the one who sent Pu Zhengen's father back then. The investigation around him might lead to new discoveries.
Guo Yuanzhen sincerely admired: "For this old case, Liulang was able to dig it out to this extent. I went to Lingnan to investigate for more than half a year. When faced with those few clues, I really wanted to give up..."
Li Yan didn't have much confidence at first. After all, it took too long. Fortunately, things turned around: "This is a reflection of the strong national power of the Tang Dynasty. Could it be that the king's ministers on the shore of the land are hiding in the Japanese country and cannot escape the pursuit..."
Just talking about the Japanese country, he added: "This time, in order to bring back Park Jong-un's family, the internal guards wasted a lot of time there. The air route back and forth was still very smooth. Next, whether the Japanese country can be a vassal state of Tibet will be left to you."
Responsible."
Guo Yuanzhen is already an internal security envoy, so it is enough for him to come forward to appease the Japanese.
Thinking of the gold and silver offered by the envoy Su Wa Chi, Guo Yuanzhen couldn't help but feel greedy: "There are hundreds of Huanglong boats at the pier, and they are all coming. Do you want to go to the Japanese country?"
Li Yan said seriously: "Although the world is peaceful, if you forget to fight, you will be in danger. Therefore, you must destroy Silla and attack Tubo, but you must also remember that although the country is big, if you are warlike, you will perish!"
"If we attack the Japanese country again, we will be blindly warlike. Not to mention that the enemy is unknown. The island country is isolated overseas and it will be difficult to garrison it for a long time. When the time comes, the Japanese will return to their country and become mortal enemies. If they are just for gold and silver, I am afraid that the gain will outweigh the gain.
."
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "However, we cannot just let these uncivilized people go. We need to maintain a certain level of force to deter them. When the time comes, I will advise His Majesty."
I have said that we will issue an immigration strategy for dealing with foreigners, and at that time, we will leave a few places for the Japanese country."
Guo Yuanzhen was taught: "What Liulang taught is that if the nobles from the Japanese country want to immigrate to the Tang Dynasty, they will naturally bring gold and silver with them. This is indeed more beneficial than just attacking!"
"The Soga family is actually a good candidate. They were originally the most powerful family in the Japanese kingdom. They had held power for decades and were even more powerful than the Quan family of Goryeo. Although they have declined now, they are still more skinny than horses.
Da Tang, as long as they are given this opportunity, they will do everything they can to plunder the local gold and silver and come to the Tang Dynasty."
"With the example of the Suga family, I will naturally have a way to make the remaining Japanese nobles fight for a few spots..."
Li Yan said happily: "As long as I have a good grasp of the degree, I will feel relieved."
Guo Yuanzhen geared up: "Liu Lang, then I'm going!"
Li Yan said: "Don't worry, there is one last thing to do. Find a painter. We need to correct Pu Zhengen's portrait."
He took out the portrait. It was based on Jin Inwen's description of Park Jong-un's appearance more than 20 years ago. Guo Yuanzhen couldn't help but smile when he saw it: "It is indeed wrong. This is completely the appearance of a Silla person. It is all a preconceived mistake!"
At that time, it was believed that Park Jung-eun was a pure Silla person, and the painter could not help but bring in some Silla characteristics.
His eyes are slightly small, his face is enlarged, and his facial features are flat. Anyway, at first glance, his accent sounds like Asiba Lie.
Now that prejudice is eliminated, what if Park Jung-eun is regarded as a Central Plains person and based on Jin Inwen’s confession at the time?
Guo Yuanzhen immediately called another painter to paint the portrait again.
While waiting, the two took the time to practice their Qi. After waiting for more than an hour, the new portrait gradually took shape.
Guo Yuanzhen came over to take a look, nodded and said: "This looks like a Central Plains person. Don't tell me, he has a somewhat dignified appearance!"
Li Yan took the portrait, looked at it carefully, his eyes kept flashing, and he began to compare it with the faces of the officials he saw at the meeting, especially the governors from various places and those local officials who did not often appear in the capital.
Seeing his focused expression, Guo Yuanzhen didn't dare to disturb him. As his eyes rolled, he came back to his senses.
If Park Jung-eun is really killed, it goes without saying;
If Park Jung-eun had not been killed, there would have been two developments. Either he would have been silenced by the alleged envoys, but failed, escaped with injuries, and disappeared, still difficult to find in the vast sea of people;
But this person is not an easy person, so there is another possibility. This person killed the entire Changsun family, and he also has the evidence of the instigator behind the scenes. The two parties reached a deal and had a place in the Tang Dynasty.
Twenty years have passed, and that capable man who came to the Tang Dynasty as the captain of the Silla Guards. He was clearly of the royal bloodline of the previous dynasty, but was able to interact closely with the servants of the Duke's Palace. Maybe he has changed his appearance and is completely different.
Already.
Guo Yuanzhen waited nervously. After a full quarter of an hour, Li Yan finally looked away and shook his head: "I didn't find anyone similar."
Guo Yuanzhen couldn't help but sigh, and then analyzed: "This is normal. After all, the portrait after description is no better than what you saw with your own eyes. More than twenty years will also cause great changes in the appearance. Even the person has ulterior motives and pretends to be sick.
If we don’t enter Beijing, we have nothing to do.”
After Li Yan pondered for a while, he suddenly asked: "How many people know about your going to Lingnan to investigate the case?"
Guo Yuanzhen scratched his head in embarrassment: "Quite a lot, Liulang, you know me. I have a wide range of friends. I have been missing for more than half a year, so I have to give them an explanation. This matter does not need to be kept secret. Plus, I also brought
With so many subordinates, the news cannot be hidden..."
Li Yan put the portrait and the thick case file into the bag and handed it to Guo Yuanzhen: "You order someone to send this thing back to Luoyang quickly. In the name of filing, it will be stored in the inner warehouse and kept properly."
Guo Yuanzhen was stunned at first, and then his brows moved slightly. Thinking of the flames of the Du lawsuit, he immediately understood: "I will definitely hand it over to my confidants, and store it in the most closely guarded inner treasury in the most solemn manner!"
