Li Longji has been on the throne for so many years, and he has experienced a lot of things and foiled many conspiracies, but this is the first time that he has been so embarrassed, not only is the dragon robe soaked, but he has also hid in the filthy Gong room for so long. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After stabilizing his mind, Li Longji began to think about what kind of person was so bold that he dared to stab him, and if he found out the person behind him, he would definitely break his body into pieces.

"What about the two Assassins captured alive? I'm going to interrogate it myself. ”

"Your Majesty, these two assassins are so badly injured that they have fainted, but the last general can be sure that these assassins are all Tibetans."

The Commander of the Guards replied in the affirmative.

"Hmph, damn the Tibetan people, I am magnanimous and exempt most of them from forced labor, and they dare to assassinate me, it's really wolf-hearted."

Li Longji was furious, and he wanted to slaughter all the Tubo people in his heart to relieve the hatred in his heart.

There is a saying that the heart of the non-my race must be different, the foreigners have been conquered, how can they be sincerely obedient, even if they are integrated for a hundred years, they may not be able to integrate, especially the Tubo nation, separated from the Tang Dynasty by thousands of mountains and rivers, and the living customs and contacts are not enough, it is even more difficult to surrender, the temporary surrender is only a lack of strength, but in the hearts of the Tubo people, they must be disloyal to the Tang Dynasty, unless the Tang Dynasty can bring them great benefits and completely change their living standards, Only when most of them can enjoy the dividends of merging into Datang can they slowly integrate.

The king treats me as a countryman, I should repay him as a countryman, the king treats me as a passerby, I should repay him as a passerby, people love to pursue their own interests, interests are violated will be stabbed, interests are guaranteed will support the ruler, as for whether the ruler is his own race, it is not a very important thing at all.

For example, in the later Celestial Empire, all ethnic groups with a small number of people could add points in the college entrance examination and gain more rights and interests, so that although they were ruled nations, they could also integrate into the country.

Although Datang does not discriminate against the surrounding ethnic groups and shows a very tolerant attitude, these ethnic groups still belong to the second-class citizens, and their status is always inferior, especially the newly attached ethnic groups, and the centrifugal force is very great.

A strong deterrent must always be maintained until certain peoples are completely subdued, and if the state weakens, these dependent peoples will quickly separate and the empire will collapse.

Reinforcements from the capital soon arrived at the scene of the incident, sealing off the surrounding area for ten miles, and then gradually investigating the whereabouts of the assassins.

After changing into clean clothes, Li Longji ordered to return to Beijing, now he was in no mood to go to the Huaqing Palace to take a bath, he wanted to return to the palace, and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter until the forces behind the assassin were uprooted.

The assassination of the emperor is not a trivial matter, the speed of transmission is not ordinarily fast, it is less than an hour, and almost all the people in the entire capital know about it, and they talk about it in the streets and alleys.

As soon as they heard that the assassins who were killed were all Tubo, the people of the Tang Dynasty suddenly became angry, and scolded the Tubo people for being shameless and bold, and even some of them were more emotional, and directly ran to smash the shops opened by the Tubo merchants, causing the Tubo merchants to suffer heavy losses.

Of course, such an act in itself is not very desirable, and it will continue to increase the hostility of the Tibetan people towards the Tang Dynasty, thus making the national contradictions even more irreconcilable.

But the people of the Tang Dynasty are so enthusiastic, whoever dares to disobey will fight whoever they want, no matter whether it is Tubo or any other ethnic group, those who commit Datang Tianwei will be taught a lesson.

Although almost all the people of the Tang Dynasty knew about the emperor's assassination, Li An still didn't know it, because the R&D center was relatively closed, and outsiders generally wouldn't enter, and when various departments and magnates heard about it, they were busy going to the palace to show their loyalty, and no one thought of informing Li An.

At this time, the palace was in chaos, a large group of ministers who entered the palace gathered in twos and threes to talk about this topic, those who knew some news were busy solving the doubts of others, and of course, more people were talking about the various possibilities behind the assassination.

Knowing that Emperor An was just a little frightened, plus some less serious bruises, everyone's hanging hearts were put down, as long as the emperor was okay, everything would be as before, and Datang would not have a big change in power for the time being, and they could live in peace.

"Your Majesty's trip was suddenly attacked by assassins, and if it weren't for the desperate killing of the enemy by the guards, the consequences would be unimaginable."

"Yes! It is said that the Assassins were ambushed under a bridge and as His Majesty passed by, he suddenly broke the railroad tracks, causing His Majesty's carriage to fall into the river. ”

"It's strange, Your Majesty travels, and there are escort cars in front of the special train, why haven't you found any trace of the assassin?"

"It's all said, it was the assassin who suddenly came out of under the bridge after the escort car passed."

"I heard that in order to derail the train, several assassins were directly lying on the rails and were crushed by the iron wheels of the train."

"No way, how can human flesh and blood stop the train from moving forward, it was the assassin who placed the rails across the tracks, which caused the train to derail."

"I heard that there were fifty assassins, two were captured alive, thirty-two were killed by the guards on the spot, and more than ten escaped, and the commander of the guards was worried that the tiger was diverted from the mountain, so he did not immediately launch a pursuit."

"I heard that these assassins are all Tibetans, and it seems that the Tibetans are behind the trouble."

"Not long after the annexation of Tibet, Zampu was still under house arrest in the capital, and it seems that it must have been planned by the loyal Tubo nobles of Zampu."

"What a thief! My Tang Dynasty is now in full swing, and Tubo has no chance to turn over, they are killing themselves. ”

"Fortunately, Your Majesty is fine, this is really God bless!"

"Your Majesty was assassinated, this is not a trivial matter, the guards are not well protected, I am afraid it is difficult to escape the blame!"

"Yes! Fortunately, His Majesty was fine, I heard that more than 20 people had died in the guards, and more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs had also died, and the scene was in a mess, and there were even more injuries. ”

"Your Majesty is fine, and the other losses are irrelevant."

"Yes, yes, as long as Your Majesty is okay, I am lucky."

The ministers whispered.

"Be quiet, the right phase is coming, the right phase is coming."

The ministers, who were talking enthusiastically before, saw Li Linfu coming in a hurry, and hurriedly got out of the way.

Following Li Linfu was Yang Zhao, he kept nodding his head and bowing along the way, but his expression was very serious, after all, the emperor had just been assassinated, even if it was not a big problem, as a minister, he must not smile in public, otherwise, once he was seen by the imperial history, he would definitely be impeached.

"You're all here! How is Your Majesty? ”

Li Linfu rarely asked a serious question, usually smiling, but this time, even he didn't dare to open his mouth to laugh.

"Right Minister, Your Majesty is fine, I heard the imperial doctor who just came out say that it was just an ordinary bruise and a little frightened, at this moment, the imperial doctors are giving Your Majesty a detailed examination."

"Oh, Your Majesty is fine, thank goodness!"

Li Linfu prayed.

"Whoever is so bold as to dare to assassinate His Majesty, after being caught, he must be severely punished."

Yang Zhao reprimanded angrily on the side.

"Yang Taifu, the assassins are all Tubo, it is estimated that the Tubo people want to restore the country."

One of the ministers replied.

"The Tubo people want to restore the country, it is really wishful thinking, Your Majesty is wise and powerful, how can they let them succeed."

Yang Zhao doesn't forget to pat himself anywhere.

Li Linfu frowned, looked at Yang Zhao and the ministers, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said suspiciously: "The Tubo people tried to ambush under the bridge first, and skillfully let go of the train that opened the way, and accurately overturned His Majesty's special train, this is a long-planned plan!" But how did these Tibetans know His Majesty's whereabouts? ”

"The right minister is clever, His Majesty's whereabouts are all confidential, it is impossible for the Tubo people to know in advance, and be fully prepared, someone must have sent a message to the Tubo assassins, so that they have the opportunity to prepare in advance, there must be ghosts in the palace!"

Yang Zhao reacted immediately and slapped Li Linfu's ass.

"Yes! The right phase woke up the dreamer with a word! Someone in the palace must have revealed His Majesty's whereabouts in advance. ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! There are actually spies in the palace. ”

All the ministers were stunned, they were busy discussing the assassination for a while, and they actually ignored such an important detail, and at this time, they finally understood that this assassination was not simply a matter of the Tibetan nobles wanting to restore the country, and there were also people within the Tang Dynasty who were disloyal and conspired with the Tibetan nobles.

But who conspired with the Tibetan nobles, no one can be sure, and they dare not speculate, this is a taboo in officialdom, and it is impossible to say.

In front of the officials, the crown prince and the princes and grandsons were all waiting outside the Zichen Palace, they originally planned to go in to take care of Li Longji, but Li Longji had already issued an order to let everyone wait outside, and he didn't see everyone.

Because this smart and wise emperor had already thought of the problem that Li Linfu had just thought of, he knew that his princes and ministers were very likely to have colluded with the Tubo people, otherwise, his whereabouts would not have been leaked out, and who wanted to kill him, but he could not make an accurate judgment, and he didn't want anyone to disturb his train of thought before coming up with an idea.

After the imperial doctor's examination, Li Longji took a simple bath in the side hall, and changed into another set of clean clothes again, before returning to the palace, he had already changed once, but the conditions were urgent at that time, and the handling was not good enough, so after returning to the palace, he washed again, and then he felt comfortable.

The bruises on my body caused by the rolling of the train are not serious, as long as you don't touch it, you don't feel anything, but after touching it, you will feel a lot of pain.

Li Longji sat alone on the dragon chair, holding his chin with one hand and falling into deep thought, he was thinking about the people around him, including palace maids and eunuchs, harem concubines, as well as princes and ministers.

He was pondering who would betray him, telling the Assassins of his whereabouts, who would unite with the Assassins and kill him, and who would benefit the most if he did die.

These are all questions that he urgently needs to consider, and only by thinking clearly about these issues can he analyze who is the inner ghost.

But there are too many people who can make him suspicious, and everyone is likely to betray him, which makes him unable to find a clue for a while.

It stands to reason that as long as the emperor dies, the crown prince should ascend the throne smoothly, so that he was killed by assassins, and the biggest beneficiary should be the prince of the Tang Dynasty, his good son.

However, his good son has always been under his watchful eye, and it is impossible for any misdeeds to escape his control.

Could it be that the person in charge of surveillance was bought off by his son, this possibility is there, but the probability is not too big to be convicted by speculation.

It is also possible that King Li Tan and several other princes colluded with the Tibetan assassins because of resentment, but in case they died, it was the crown prince who could ascend the throne, which was a bit unreasonable, but if they colluded with the eunuchs and ministers in the palace and suddenly made a testament, they could also seize the throne and ascend the throne.

As for whether the edict is true or not, it doesn't matter at all, as long as the ministers in power fully support it, a large number of wall-to-wall grasses will follow suit, thus creating a fait accompli.

You must know that he supported his father to ascend to the throne by virtue of the mutiny, and at the same time, with his many supporters, he made the eldest brother take the initiative to give up the position of the crown prince, and even his father retired early to become the emperor, so that the crown prince ascended the throne as the emperor.

Regarding the matter of rights, Li Longji is definitely at the level of a grandmaster, so he knows a lot more than others, and he is much more thorough.

In addition, he does not fully trust the ministers who show loyalty every day, these ministers are loyal to him because they have power and can give them status and status, if their sons give these ministers higher promises, will these people betray him? The answer is obvious.

Although he built a Ten Kings Mansion and a Hundred Grandsons' Courtyard, to a certain extent, it limited the opportunities for his children and grandchildren to make friends with the powerful people in the court, but it is impossible to completely eradicate it, and he can't treat his children and grandchildren as prisoners!

"Everyone, the prince and the ministers are waiting outside? Declare them in? ”

Seeing that the emperor was in a daze, Gao Lishi opened his mouth to remind.

This time he went to Huaqing Palace, Gao Lishi did not accompany him because he was slightly unwell, but such a big thing happened, and his heart was actually very uneasy.

He waited every day and was fine, but he didn't follow the train but such a big thing happened, and the emperor was going to Huaqing Palace, he knew about it, so he was also very suspicious, and he was naturally more worried and uneasy in his heart, he really regretted not getting on the train, even if he drowned in the water, he was willing.

But the more this is the case, the more he can't escape, he must actively stand in front of the emperor, once the emperor asks something, he can also open his mouth to explain, so many years of master-servant feelings, he believes that it is not so easy to break.

Li Longji raised his eyelids, looked at Gao Lishi, beckoned, and said, "Xiao Gao, come here." ”

As an emperor, you can call others as much as you want, but when you call Xiao Gao, it is much more cordial.
