Chapter 129: Shaking Hands and Making Peace
The fifth phase Zhao Wufu took the initiative to extend an olive branch, which is naturally a great thing for Li An, since the Tubo big argument Guo slightly tricked and transferred the second minister Zhao Yafu out of the queen city, Li An urgently needs the support of the authorities in the East Women's Kingdom in order to carry out his own actions.
The support and trust of Zhao Yufu, the king of Guichang, has always been Ang Lee's greatest advantage, however, Zhao Tsufu's reign is only one year, and he does not hold real power, Ang Lee urgently needs the support of a foreign minister like Zhao Yafu, when Zhao Yafu was forced to leave the queen city, Ang Lee was once lost, but only a few days, the fifth phase Zhao Wufu came to his side.
Of course, Li An must not know that before leaving the Queen City, the second phase Zhao Yafu visited the fifth phase Zhao Wufu one step earlier, in addition to visiting him, and asked Zhao Wufu to believe in Tang Jun and support Li An.
However, Zhao Wufu was quite suspicious of Li An, and did not immediately agree to Zhao Yafu's request, and said that he would find out the case of the destruction of the gate in the city as soon as possible, and then consider whether to support Li An.
One of the murderers of the extermination case, Mu Dayong, was captured by him personally, and then it was the scene that happened in the palace, after combing through all the recent events in his mind, Zhao Wufu suddenly realized that he believed that Tang Jun came here without malice, of course, he also knew very well that the Tang Dynasty helped Dongnuguo for its own interests, not purely for help, and there is no such thing in the world.
"Captain Li, Benxiang is a rough person, not very good at talking, however, Benxiang is also a reasonable person, in the past, it was because of a misunderstanding that he would make hostile actions towards Captain Li, and now, since Benxiang has understood that Captain Li came this time, there is no ill will towards the East Women's Country, and the Prime Minister will never go against Captain Li in the future, and he will do his best to help Captain Li."
Zhao Wufu was sincere and repeated what he had said earlier.
Li An grinned: "The first time I saw the five phases, I knew that the five phases were a person of temperament, and misunderstandings were inevitable, besides, the matter has passed, don't mention the five phases in the future, let's work together to face the threat together." ”
Dongnuguo is the Shu State of the Tang Dynasty, and Li An's position is obviously much lower than Zhao Wufu, and in addition to being humble, he also reminds Zhao Wufu that Dongnu is a vassal status, so as to show that it is natural for him to help Dongnuguo.
"Okay, Captain Li is broad-minded, doesn't care about the past, likes his own appearance, hahaha!"
Zhao Wufu laughed a few times, and then frowned and said: "Today's matter in the palace hall, Captain Li is also present, I don't know how many ways to see. ”
Li An pondered for a moment, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "There are ghosts in the hearts of the four phases, and they want to cover it up." ”
Zhao Wufu was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It seems that Captain Li also saw it, when I learned that Mu Dayong was one of the murderers, I knew that this matter was inseparable from the four phases, but for the safety of the East Women's Country, I can't show favoritism." ”
"The five ministers seek benefits for the country, do not show favoritism, and are admired by their humble duties."
Zhao Wufu sighed, shook his head lightly and said: "When I was in the main hall today, I wanted to stand up and propose to continue to investigate this matter thoroughly, but I still relented at the critical moment, until the fourth phase was dismissed, and the prime minister didn't say a word, so the prime minister was still favoritism in the end." ”
"This is just human nature, it is not favoritism, as long as the five phases know the truth of the matter, this is enough."
Zhao Wufu looked at Li An gratefully, frowned, and said: "Sixiang has a ghost in his heart, almost everyone present can see it, even Bin is no exception, but he can't bear to say it, but what does Daxiang think in his heart, but it's not easy to guess, is he protecting Sixiang for personal feelings, or is it related to this matter himself?" ”
Li An smiled at the corner of his mouth: "The soldiers and horses under the command of the four phases are all owned by the prime minister, what do the five phases think?" ”
"What does Captain Li mean is that both the Great Prime Minister and the Fourth Prime Minister are involved in this matter?"
Li An nodded lightly and said in a low voice: "It seems that there is one thing that must be told to Wuxiang." ”
"What's the matter?"
Li An did not hide it, dug out the ghost Xiaogu design to dig out the spies of the East Female Kingdom, and in the queen city, he saw the spies entering the prime minister's mansion and told Zhao Wufu, however, who are the three spies, Li An resolutely refused to divulge them on the grounds of preventing leaks, of course, this is not a matter of importance, it doesn't matter who the spies are.
When Zhao Wufu heard this, he sighed heavily, the great minister he had always admired extremely was actually a spy in collusion with Tubo, which made him difficult to accept, and at the same time deeply worried.
"The main force of the army under the command of the Great Minister and the Four Ministers is stationed on the western border and is responsible for defending Tibet, if they are all Tubo spies and lead the Tubo army into the country, then won't my Eastern Female Kingdom face great danger at any time?"
Li An nodded lightly: "That's true, now, the prime minister alone has four thousand soldiers and horses, once the Tubo army is introduced, the Dongnu Kingdom will be completely annexed by Tubo, and the consequences are unimaginable." ”
Zhao Wufu stood up violently and stared at Li An: "Captain Li, let's gather all the soldiers and horses under our command, immediately control the prime minister, and then hurry to the western border to control the border troops there."
Seeing that Zhao Wufu was so impulsive, Li Anxin secretly shook his head, and waved his hand and said: "Wuxiang must not be impulsive, at the moment, we do not have full evidence, if we just lead troops to arrest the prime minister, what will the people think, what will the officials think, what will Bin think, once we can't give enough evidence, the prime minister will accuse the five prime ministers of colluding with the Tang army, with bad intentions, and when the time comes, Bin will be very embarrassed, and both of us will fall into an extremely dangerous situation." ”
"But the prime minister has already colluded with the Tubo people, if he doesn't strike first, once he orders the Tubo army to enter the country, it will be too late."
Zhao Wufu was very anxious, but he knew that Li An was telling the truth, and he couldn't go to arrest Daxiang without sufficient evidence.
The assassination of Ang Lee had already annoyed Zhao Daifu, and if he had arrested Zhao Daiwen without sufficient evidence, Zhao would have even less believed him.
The corner of Li An's mouth smiled indifferently: "The Great Prime Minister can lead the Tubo army into the country, but why can't the Five Ministers?" ”
Zhao Wufu was taken aback: "Captain Li means that I want to let the main force of the Tang Army enter the country." ”
Li An nodded lightly: "This is the worst plan, once the Tubo army enters the hinterland of the Dongnu Kingdom, if it is not for the help of the Tang army, you can beat the warlike army of Tubo?" Moreover, the Dongnu Kingdom is a subject country of our Tang Dynasty, and it is justified for the Tang Dynasty army to enter the territory of the Dongnu Kingdom, at least, it is much more justifiable than the entry of the Tubo army. ”
Zhao Wufu pondered for a long time and nodded: "What Captain Li said is that with the current situation, it can only be like this, but is the Tang army really ready?" I heard that there are only 3,000 men and horses on the border, while Tibet has 10,000 on the western border, and there are more than 100,000 main forces a little farther away. ”
"Wuxiang don't have to worry, the humble post has already sent someone to contact General Longwu, as for the problem of troops, Datang has 30,000 elite border troops in Jiannan Road, as long as necessary, it can expand more than 100,000 soldiers and horses at any time, and the 150,000 elite border troops in Hexi and Longyou will also form a containment on Tubo, Wuxiang must believe that my Datang will never lose to Tubo."
Li An's face was confident, and this more or less dispelled Zhao Wufu's doubts.
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Wufu looked at Li An: "Captain Li, I feel that we must find evidence of Daxiang's collusion with Tibet as soon as possible, at least, let Bin know the true face of Daxiang as soon as possible." ”
"King Guichang is a kind person, he is not willing to suspect anyone, especially her relatives, as long as there is no full evidence, she will not believe in the collusion with the Tubo people, as long as she herself is unwilling to admit it, our hints will only make her disgusted, and even think that we have ulterior motives."
"So what to do? We've got to do something! Is it difficult to wait and see? ”
Zhao Wufu was a little breathless.
Li An thought for a moment and said: "When the second phase was leaving, he told me that if the situation in the queen city is dangerous, you can go to the south gate twenty miles to find the third phase, and I feel that now is the right time, and the five prime ministers can secretly investigate the case of killing the door in the city, and I believe that there will be gains." ”
"Okay, that's it."
Seeing that the matter had been almost discussed, Li An got up and was about to say goodbye, and when he was leaving, he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Wuxiang, Tubo Da Tan Wu Guo is in the Queen City, he invited me a few days ago, and then disappeared completely, I suspect that he is hiding in the mansion of the Great Minister." ”
"What do you think?"
Zhao Wufu's eyes widened, paused for a moment, looked at Li An suspiciously, and nodded slightly.
'This Ang Li is really unfathomable, he designed to dig out the spies, see through my assassination, find the great prime minister along the vine, inadvertently reverse the situation, and gain the trust of Bin, the second prime minister and me in a short time, and he actually knows the vultures of Guo, he is only a teenager! ’
Looking at the back of Li An leaving, Zhao Wufu sighed in his heart.

In the dimly lit study, a middle-aged man sat in the darkest corner, beside him was Hamiguo, who was standing still.
"Master, the four phases are here."
The middle-aged man glanced sideways in the direction of the door: "Hamiguo, you can go out." ”
Hamigo bowed to the two of them, slowly exited the study, and gently closed the door of the study.
"Daxiang is really leisurely, you don't have to do anything to hide in the study."
Zhao Hui sneered and sarcastic.
"Sixiang has just been cut to the people, you should stay at home and reflect, you really shouldn't come to me!"
The middle-aged man is none other than the prime minister Zhao Daiwen, and he doesn't seem to care about Zhao Hui's sarcasm.
"Introspection?"
Zhao Hui sneered: "The person who should really reflect should be you!" Great Phase!! Everyone suspects that I am a treacherous person, but they don't know that your prime minister Zhao Daiwen is the real treacherous person, and your treacherous heart is ten times better than mine. ”
Zhao Daiwen smiled lightly: "Fourth brother, you hate me for taking away your soldiers and horses and official positions!" (To be continued.) )
