Han Yun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there are two things, one is that Jiannan Jiedu made Cui Ning ask to return to Shu as soon as possible, he said that some officials led by Yang Zilin, the assassin of Luzhou, have ill intentions and may rebel while he is not in Shu, he is very worried and hopes to return to Shu immediately." ”

"He only came yesterday, so he's in a hurry to go back?"

Li Yu was really a little dissatisfied: "He has a lot of things, and there are at least dozens of excerpts to impeach him, and he must explain the matter clearly, otherwise I will directly remove him." ”

"Wechen understands, Wechen will tell him, let him report with peace of mind, don't rush back."

"What else?" Li Yu asked again.

"There is also the fact that the ministers want to talk about the Hui Mission, not only are they too angry, but they have been secretly spying on the military skills of the Tang Dynasty, such as crossbow technology, knife making technology, recently they have been spying on the technology of the siege ladder, Wei Chen thinks it is dangerous to leave them in Chang'an, can you send them back to the grassland?"

After the Anshi Rebellion, the Hui mission has been staying in Chang'an, there is a Hui Hui Pavilion covering an area of 100 acres in Guanglufang, which is equivalent to the embassy of later generations, although in these years the Hui Hui in the West and Tubo compete for Tocharian and the Hezhong region, and the Tang Dynasty has little contact, but because of the rise of the Sijie Department, the Sijie Department gradually replaced the Hui Hui, and there is also a Sijie Hall covering an area of dozens of acres in Chang'an.

Relatively speaking, the Sijie people are much more restrained than the Hui people, and they rarely hear the news of the Sijie people's crimes, but the Hui people are sued by the people to the government every once in a while, and they are rampant, forced to buy and sell, and snatch women in broad daylight, which has become the most headache for the previous Jing Zhaoyin, and every time he tries his best to ask for someone.

At present, there are 500 garrisons in the capital, and they are the most unstable bane of Chang'an.

Ten years ago, the imperial court spent a lot of money to build them a military camp covering an area of 1,000 acres outside the city, and it took a whole year of negotiation before they reluctantly moved out.

Their food and drink expenses are borne by the imperial court, in order to prevent them from entering the city to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, the imperial court provides them with a large number of brocade clothes and delicacies every year.

But they still don't appreciate it, they still often come into the city to drink and prostitutes, make trouble in Pingkangfang, break into the city gate at night, and make Chang'an a miasma, and the court will have a headache when they mention them.

Li Yu endured these things if he could, but Han Yun mentioned that they were spying on the military intelligence of the Tang Dynasty, which made Li Yu a little unacceptable, many military technologies in the Central Plains had been transmitted to the grassland during the Sui Dynasty, which greatly improved the combat level of the nomads, and if the siege weapons and large-scale defense weapons of the Tang Dynasty were stolen, the consequences would be serious.

Li Yu groaned and said: "Notify the Governor's Hall and convene the Xiangguo Meeting!" ”

The so-called Xiangguo deliberations are meetings in which all Xiangguo participate, although Yan Zhenqing, Li Mian and Duan Xiushi are imaginary, but they only don't care about daily government affairs, but when it comes to major military affairs, they all have to participate.

Half an hour later, Chang Gon, Yan Zhenqing and Duan Xiushi all rushed to the side hall of Zichen Palace, which is a small hall, located outside the imperial study of the Son of Heaven, also known as the Son of Heaven's Palace, where the Son of Heaven convened important military deliberations.

In addition to Li Mian, the four Xiangguo were all present, Li Yu said slowly: "I convened you to discuss the matter of the Hui Mission, and the Hui Envoy harmed the people, and I will not mention it, and now Han Xiangguo tells me that the Hui Hui is actually spying on the military intelligence of the Tang Dynasty, which makes me unacceptable, so please come and discuss this matter." ”

Chang Gon raised his eyebrows and asked, "May I ask Han Xiangguo, what conclusive evidence do you have for you to spy on the military intelligence of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Han Yun knew that he would attack him, so he said lightly: "Of course I have evidence, and I won't do anything to draw conclusions without evidence." ”

Han Yunmian was full of needles and secretly ridiculed Chang Gon for impeaching Guo Song without evidence, Chang Gon was secretly annoyed in his heart, but his face was silent.

At this time, an official was brought up, it was a seven-rank petty official, this person was called Yang Lan, and the official was appointed as the chief secretary of the seven-rank ordnance superintendent.

He knelt down and bowed to pay homage, "Yang Lan, the master of the Weichen Ordnance Supervisor, see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!" ”

"Master Yang is exempt from courtesy!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yang Lan stood up, and Han Yun said on the side: "Master Yang, repeat what you told me yesterday to Your Majesty and all the Xiangguo." ”

"Obey the order!"

Yang Lan said to everyone: "About a few days ago, a Hu businessman suddenly came to the door and said that there was a deal he wanted to do with me, I was a little confused, I never did business, how could I buy and sell?" I refused the one thousand taels of silver he offered, and then the night before yesterday, this Hu merchant came again, he told me directly, he was not a merchant, but a person from the Hui Mission, he took out three hundred taels of gold and a knife, he said that he wanted the latest development of the Ordnance Inspectorate's latest winch-type heavy speculative stone drawings, he said, I accept the gold, everyone is a brother, I don't agree, the knife on the table will kill my whole family, I was frightened, I had to accept the gold, yesterday I found Han Xiangguo to report the matter. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Yan Zhenqing asked, "What is this person's name, did he say it?" ”

"Back to Yan Xiangguo, he didn't say it, but he showed me the sign, and he had three silver flowers on his chest."

The silver flower is the identity symbol of the Hui officials, nine silver flowers are the highest, three silver flowers should be a middle and lower-level official, and the highest in the mission is six silver flowers.

Han Yun nodded and said, "Thank you Master Yang for exposing this matter regardless of the safety of your family, you can rest assured that the imperial court will protect you and your family." ”

"Thank you Han Sang-kook!"

The chief bookkeeper, Yang Lan, bowed and retreated.

At this time, Duan Xiushi, who had been silent, said: "Weichen believes that this Yang Master Book is by no means the first person to be bought, nor is it the last person, they have existed in Chang'an for more than ten years, and I don't know how much military intelligence of the Tang Dynasty has been obtained. ”

Everyone was silent, for a long time, Li Yu said slowly: "Even if I get the information, I should have sent it away as soon as possible, now I discuss with everyone, I want to let the Hui Mission leave Chang'an, maybe like the Sijie Department, only one person and a dozen soldiers will be left, let's see what to do?" ”

Chang Gon bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the Hui people spy on military intelligence, as long as we take good precautions and don't give them any chance, they have no choice, in fact, Weichen wants to abolish the horse silk trading agreement signed between Hui and Datang, and Datang's financial resources are really a little unbearable." ”

The horse silk trading agreement signed between the Hui and the Tang Dynasty was signed in the later period of the Anshi Rebellion, stipulating that the Tang Dynasty must buy the horses raised by the Hui people, and the price was one horse for fifty silks, which was five times more expensive than the market price, not only that, but the Hui people took the old horses and bad horses, forcing the Tang Dynasty to accept, and hundreds of thousands of silk horses were exchanged for the Tang Dynasty every year, which brought a heavy burden to the Tang Dynasty's finances. ”

Li Yu was silent for a long time and asked, "I remember that this agreement has a time limit, when will it end?" ”

Chang Gon bowed and said: "When it was signed, it sounded good, it was Hui Hui in order to support Datang to quell the chaos, and when Datang completely quelled the chaos, the national strength was restored, and there was no longer a need for Hui Hui's war horses, this agreement could have ended, in fact, this agreement should have ended ten years ago, but Hui Hui has been delaying, saying that he would support Datang for another ten years, and now ten years have passed, so it should be ended at the end of this year at the latest." ”

"Then end it!" Li Yu said without hesitation.

Chang Gon sighed, "Weichen also wants to end, but Hui Hui refuses to agree, always saying that he wants to negotiate, unless Datang and Hui Su turn their faces and directly do not accept the horses they sent, then the agreement will naturally end." ”

At this time, Han Rong said: "Either we will change the agreement with Hui Hui, set it at the market price, or even change it to private trade." ”

Yan Zhenqing also said: "We can also propose that if Hui Hui must adhere to the agreement, then Datang will also sign a similar agreement with Tubo, I believe this is not what they want to see." ”

Duan Xiushi also added: "Secondly, we must strictly control the Hui people in the capital, once they make trouble in the capital, they can send Jin Wuwei to arrest and imprison them, and not give them any extrajudicial favors, and at the same time reduce the number of Hui envoys in the capital." ”

Everyone, as soon as you say a word, you will basically set the tone for the relationship between the Hui and the Hui, and the imperial court can no longer blindly make concessions to the Hui, and must re-evaluate the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Hui.

They drafted a total of four consensuses: first, it is necessary to strictly guard against all kinds of military secrets of the imperial court and not give any opportunity for the Hui people to take advantage of;

Second, reduce the number of the head of the Hui mission in Chang'an from the current six or seven hundred to fifty;

Third, end the horse silk agreement between Datang and Hui Hui, or redraft, from now on, no longer accept the import of horses from Hui Hui.

Fourth, all special treatment for the Hui people will be cancelled, and those who dare to defy the law and violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty will be severely punished.
