Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Fourth Qin and Tang’s Plan and the Bloody Fire in the Capital
There was silence in the palace.
Ping Qi looked at Lu Zhan who lowered his head in confusion, his face full of annoyance. There were actually people from the Qin and Tang Dynasties under Mr. Lu Shilang. He was really a failure as the commander of the Dingxiang Guard. Even the foreign country under his nose
None of the spies found it.
Su Ge looked eager to try: "Your Majesty, let me go and wipe out all these people."
Li Qing looked at Su Lu. This matter was related to land warfare, so he should let Su Lu make the decision. On military and state affairs, he still had to listen to Su Lu.
Su Lu leaned back in his chair, pinched his temples, and sounded helpless.
"Lu Zhan, Lu Zhan, I just returned to Beijing and you found something for me to do again."
"Your Majesty, since Lu Zhan has confirmed it, it must be correct. Let Ping Qi go and find out what conspiracy these people are hiding, and what role this Lu Shilang is."
Li Qing nodded: "I'm not worried about Ping Qi alone. Let's pass the order and ask Li Ling to work with Ping Qi to deal with the matter of Minister Lu. Where is He Wu? You can bring my gold medal and go. In special circumstances, I will give you an advantage."
To deal with it, senior officials below the third rank can be killed first and then reported."
Ping Qi's eyes flashed. His Majesty was determined to get rid of a group of people. In this case, there would be more room for maneuver.
After several people went out with the order, Su Lu asked Li Qing and said:
"The Qin State was almost destroyed at the hands of the barbarians and the Taixi people. Rouran and Thule rebelled in the north. The Qi State also gathered the Yingte people to invade our territory of Liangjiang. They fought on three sides. Our country was able to withstand it."
"Gao Lan and Emperor Qin must have seen it, and their lips are broken and their teeth are cold. Now that Qin has fallen into our territory, Gao Lan will not be without ideas, and Qin, who is huddled in Liangzhou, will not be without ideas. They will take the initiative to do something.
, but it’s normal, we need to take more precautions.”
Li Qing nodded: "My safety is easy to say. It is difficult for assassins to come in without leaving the palace. The ministers will need to send more guards. I will inform the patrol battalion and the four forbidden troops in the north of the Dingwei to strengthen the control of all areas in the capital.
Defense of the place.”
Su Lu smiled: "This is not enough. We must summon the envoys of the Tang Dynasty in Beijing and ask them to pass on the information and restrain the spies in our country. Otherwise, I, Su Lu, will not mind visiting Shangshan again in the coming spring."
Li Qing smiled: "In the past few years, we have been fighting every year, and the people's lives have become worse year by year. If the war continues, I am afraid that famine will occur among the people again, and war will break out."
Su Lu looked outside: "It's still early now, so why don't we go out of the palace to see what life is like among the people. If it's really as your Majesty said, then I'll just endure it for a few years and recuperate."
Li Qing was delighted when he heard this: "That's great. I haven't left the palace for a long time. In the past, worshiping the gods was just a complete process. I didn't even have the chance to look at Zhuque Street twice."
Su Lu stood up and said, "Then go change clothes and let's go out and take a look."
Chang Ning and Su Ge looked at each other, and Chang Ning said weakly: "Your Majesty, this is not good. Just now you said that the capital is not safe. There are spies from Qin and Tang. If they collide with the Holy Driver."
Su Lu pointed at Gao Zhan, who was watching his nose and heart next to him: "Chang Ning, you should learn from Eunuch Gao. When I tell you about the palace, Eunuch Gao won't say a word. Eunuch Gao will feel confident in his heart. When encountering
Those rebels, Eunuch Gao can protect His Majesty without the help of the imperial army."
Gao Zhan said with a smile: "Your Majesty is ridiculous. I don't have that idea. My old eyes are dim. I just watch His Majesty living in the deep palace all day long. His complexion is getting worse day by day. If I can go out with the Prince for a walk,
, this complexion will definitely look better.”
Su Lu stood up: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go and take a look. By the way, we can see whether our Minister of Justice is a spy of the Qin State or an envoy of the Tang State."
Beijing, Xifang City.
In the residence of Minister Lu, Minister Lu was sitting in front of the stone table in the courtyard, his face a little ugly.
"Qin Li, what are you talking about? You found someone from the Qin Kingdom among the prince's guards, and do you still recognize you?"
Among the servants in gray clothes standing around, a middle-aged man wearing a small hat said:
"Black Flag Army Land War was later given to Su Lu as a bodyguard by Li Shuai and His Majesty. Even if they exploit my skills, I will not admit my mistake."
Minister Lu's face became increasingly ugly: "Did he notice you?"
Qin Li said firmly: "Probably not. I was very careful. As soon as I found Lu Zhan, I hid behind the Tang Zhan brothers. There were also several brothers who might be recognized by Lu Zhan. They were also hidden. At that time, it was so
With so many people, a land battle will definitely not detect us."
Minister Lu breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good, that's good."
"By the way, the incident in Jingxi Daku has happened. Don't you have any way to deal with it? Don't say that you are just for that little silver. Three million taels of silver is a lot, but it won't bring down the two of you.
Just focus on transporting money."
Tang Zhan, who was also dressed in gray clothes and a small hat, laughed and sat down next to Mr. Lu:
"Why, the Minister is afraid?"
"It's too late. Now that we've boarded this pirate ship, it won't be that easy to think about it. In a few days, the annual winter festival will be held. Li Qing will definitely go to the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices to heaven."
Qin Li also sat down opposite Qin Li: "Once Li Qing and Su Lu die, the Han clan, with our help, will inevitably cause chaos in the court, and each of them will fight for the position of emperor. At that time, Han will continue to fight within the country, and our Qin Kingdom will have the opportunity to recover.
"
Tang Zhan also smiled: "Shangshan, which is so dear to my Majesty's heart, can be completely brought under the control of our Tang Kingdom."
Lu Shilang sneered: "You two have a beautiful idea. Without me, the Han general, who can stop the barbarians and the Taixi people? Qin Li can't do it, and Xiang Chong can't do it, so no one in your Qin country can do it."
Qin Li was not angry either: "So we sent troops out of Shule City to contact General Cao Hua. General Cao Hua is Su Lu's direct disciple. Su Lu sent him to station in Hargai, to attack our great Qin in the north, and to block the barbarians and Taixi people in the west.
Just because she has this strength, as long as she wins over General Cao Hua, the barbarians and the Taixi people will have no worries."
Tang Zhan also smiled and said: "Our country has signed an offensive and defensive alliance with Nanchu. With Luojiang as the boundary, all the southern part of Qi State belongs to Nanchu. To the north of Luojiang River is the territory of our Tang State."
Saying this, Tang Zhan suddenly sat upright and looked at Minister Lu.
"Sir Xie Ruyu has an order. If Mr. Lu is interested, our country can support Mr. Lu to ascend to the position of great treasure as a member of the clan."
Minister Lu snorted coldly: "It's a cliché. You can't kill His Majesty, or you can't kill Su Lu. It's all empty talk."
Qin Li said coldly: "Shilang Lu also knows that he can't kill Li Qing and Su Lu. It's all just talk, so why don't we put more effort into it? Otherwise, let alone the great treasure of the Han Dynasty, your Shilang Lu's life will not be saved.
"
A servant rushed in from outside and said a few words in Tang Zhan's ear.
Tang Zhanteng stood up suddenly, with a surprised look on his face: "Great, Li Qing is finally willing to leave the palace, and a big deal can be accomplished."
