Upon hearing this, all the Zuotun guardsmen took a step back and threw themselves under the trap of the Rat Guard, not daring to act rashly.
At the same time, everyone was also suspicious. No matter what the circumstances, holding an officer hostage is a serious crime. Gao Kan actually dared to hold Chai Zhewei hostage in full view of the public, and even clamped a knife on Chai Zhewei's neck. This was more than just kidnapping.
To put it lightly, it means turning it over, to put it seriously, it means having bad intentions. How could it be so unless something extraordinary happened?
The left and right guards are the reserve army of the "Hundred Cavalry". They are all nobles and nobles. They may not have much ability, but they are naturally sensitive to politics.
No one is a fool. There must be a reason why Gao Kan dares to risk the disapproval of the world. Who dares to get involved?
Only the generals of the Qiu family became panicked. First, they were unexpectedly blocked by soldiers from the Youtun Guards, and then they were revealed to be pretending to be Zuen Guards. Then even Chai Zhewei was kidnapped...
They are surrounded by soldiers from the left and right garrison. Now not only the right garrison will not let them go, but also the left garrison will never allow them to leave. It can be said that there is no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth.
Chai Zhewei was a man after all. He understood that he had fallen into Gao Kan's trap, and said to him: "General Gao, I don't know the inside story, so I delayed your investigation. It's my fault. However, military law does not allow you to hold the commander hostage like this."
, How about if you let me go, I won't care about this matter, and let you enter this house to search?"
He had to compromise.
This Gao Kan was loyal to Fang Jun and obeyed his orders. He did not take his future and wealth into consideration at all. He wanted to search for the assassin wholeheartedly. If he stopped him to the end, he might really dare to kill him.
A brave general in the army, and most importantly the commander-in-chief, what does his own life mean compared to catching the assassin who assassinated his commander-in-chief?
What's more, Chai Zhewei has obviously discovered a lot of things that are wrong...
Gao Kan also hesitated.
Chai Zhewei's identity and status are different after all. If you hold him hostage, the consequences will be serious.
No one can care about their own life and future. If it is confirmed that Chai Zhewei is the mastermind of Fang Jun's assassination, I will definitely cut off his head without saying anything. However, I can't prove this right now...
After thinking about it, he decisively put away his sword, let go of Chai Zhewei, and said loudly: "The general has military orders, and he has no choice but to offend Duke Qiao. I don't dare to quibble, and I don't dare to ask for forgiveness. I just hope that Duke Qiao will not do it at this moment."
Care about it, wait until afterwards, and let it be dealt with!"
Chai Zhewei touched his neck. The cool feeling of the sharp blade made him almost think that his life was in danger. Now he came back to his senses and felt that it was really humiliating to be held hostage like this in front of his subordinates.
Natural anger is hard to dissipate.
But looking at Gao Kan's attitude, he understood that if he insisted on punishing Gao Kan, this tough guy would definitely fight to the death.
Things are getting more and more out of control...
The smartest thing to do is to be patient.
Chai Zhewei was not a reckless man, and he was naturally capable of bending and stretching. He immediately said seriously: "I will never finish today's matter with you! But because you have military orders, I won't argue with you for the time being! But after today, I will never let you go.
You! I’ll leave this to you, I won’t interfere!”
After saying this, he turned around and said to the Zuotun guards under his command: "Withdraw!"
Hundreds of people cheered and cleared out in the blink of an eye.
Gao Kan breathed a sigh of relief. Now was not the time to worry about how to be better. He glared at the generals of the Qiu family and waved his hand: "Take them all down!"
"Here!"
The soldiers of the Youtun Guards rushed forward, punching and kicking them. The generals of the Qiu family also realized that something was wrong. They were afraid that this time it would involve a serious matter, so they did not dare to resist. They squatted on the ground obediently, but the captain said: "This
General, we are only responsible for guarding this house. We are on duty today and have no idea what happened. Can you please send a message to the head of the family?"
Gao Kan wiped his face, and the blood on his face stung, and he snorted: "Whether there is any involvement or not, it doesn't matter if I say it, and it doesn't matter if you say it, it will only matter if Dali Temple says it."
!”
Everyone in the Qiu family was dumbfounded.
Earlier, I vaguely heard Gao Kan and Chai Zhewei mentioning the assassination of the general. Could it be that he would be suspicious of us people?
That would be a bloody misfortune for eight lifetimes...
Gao Kan ordered his subordinates, together with the Youtun guards who came to support them, to drive all these people into the villa, and then choose a place in the corner to guard them. Then he ordered people to surround the villa and led the team himself.
Start searching carefully inside and out.
*****
Ziyun Tower is the commanding height of Furong Garden and the most magnificent building. When His Majesty Li Er succeeded to the throne, he had intended to build a building in Furong Garden as a place to rest in his spare time. However, it was first built by Jieli Khan
After going to Guanzhong and plundering the Mawei River, they continued to fight internally and externally for many years. The imperial treasury was always empty, so this wish was shelved.
Until Fang Jun established the Royal Navy and discovered a large number of gold and silver mines in the Japanese country. Shiploads of gold and silver were transported back to Chang'an. The internal funds were extremely rich. His Majesty Li Er's almost extinguished desire was naturally raised again.
Immediately ordered the Ministry of Industry and the Shaofu to gather manpower and work overtime to build Ziyun Tower.
In just half a year, a magnificent, exquisite and luxurious building was built adjacent to the palace of Wei King Li Tai.
…
His Majesty Li Er was dressed in a red-yellow robe. He stood on the Ziyun Tower with his hands behind his hands. He climbed up and looked north. He had a panoramic view of the meandering Qujiang River and the vast Qujiang Pool. The surface of the pool was full of green lotuses.
The water is mighty, the poolside is shaded by willows, the ancient trees are towering, and the exquisite and elegant pavilions and pavilions are scattered among them, just like a fairyland on earth.
The civil and military ministers lined up on the left and right, overlooking the cheerful tourists rubbing shoulders with each other in the garden, all of whom were smiling. How could such a scenic scene where the king and the people enjoy themselves together could be seen if it were not a glorious and prosperous era?
Especially the envoys from various countries in the Ziyun Tower were stunned and shocked when they witnessed this grand occasion.
Since ancient times, the primary criterion for measuring national strength has been population.
Population is the foundation of everything. As long as there are people, we can cultivate more land, pay more taxes, and recruit more soldiers!
Chang'an City, with a population of one million, is already the most powerful city in the world. I don't know how many small countries have such a large population. Today, the four gates of Chang'an City are open, and people from Guanzhong are arriving one after another with their young and old in tow.
The crowds are simply mind-numbing!
How could such a great Tang be defeated?
Such a great Tang Dynasty was looking down upon the world and arrogant among the people!
His Majesty Li Er looked at the shock on the faces of the envoys from various countries and felt very proud in his heart. However, when he saw Princess Silla standing in a corner with a plain face, his brows suddenly frowned...
For Fang Jun, he naturally relies heavily on his favor and trust, and he loves the whole family. He also has a very good impression of the Silla princess. Although this girl comes from the Silla royal family, she is not pampered or pretentious, but has a heroic appearance and is generous.
.
He admires this kind of woman, just like the three wives of the past, who were not inferior to men.
It's just that because of the quarrel between Fang Jun and Changsun Wuji, he was afraid that Fang Jun would have trouble with Changsun Wuji at such a grand gathering today, so he ordered him to personally lead the troops to defend Furong Garden, so he didn't come to Ziyun.
Lou, naturally he will not collide with Changsun Wuji and cause trouble.
But in this way, Princess Silla will inevitably be left out...
After all, they were annexed ministers. Silla is still included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty and is ruled by King Wu Li Ke. The queen and princess of Silla, a pair of sisters who left their hometown, inevitably felt like they were living under someone else's roof. Living in Chang'an for a long time was not easy.
People left their homes and careers to join the Tang Dynasty, so they shouldn't be ostracized anymore, right?
After thinking about it, he wanted to call Princess Silla to his side, say a few words of comfort, and show everyone that he valued her very much and protected her subordinates. But at this moment, Wang De, the chief chamberlain, trotted downstairs.
He came up and hurriedly came to his side. He did not even salute, but came up to him and lowered his voice: "Your Majesty, Fang Shaobao was assassinated just now and was seriously injured!"
"Um?!"
His Majesty Li Er's eyes widened instantly, a surge of anger arose, and he subconsciously glared at Changsun Wuji beside him.
Changsun Wuji was chatting and laughing with Linghu Defen, who was living in the secluded house and had never shown up before. Leng Buding felt a chill all over his body, a cold air rising from his tailbone, and all the cold hairs on his body stood up. He turned around in surprise, and met him.
His Majesty Li Er's burning eyes.
Changsun Wuji's heart trembled, and he hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and asked in a low voice: "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
His Majesty Li Er's eyes flashed, staring at Changsun Wuji's round face, and said slowly: "Fang Jun was assassinated just now, what does Zhao Guogong think?"
Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed drastically, and he said quickly: "Your Majesty clearly knows that I know nothing about this!"
"Know nothing?"
His Majesty Li Er sneered, raised his eyes, looked around, gritted his molar teeth and said: "It is best that everyone knows nothing, and it is best that God and Buddha protect Fang Jun from death, otherwise... don't blame me.
