"Your Majesty, please think twice!" Most of the civil servants said in unison.

Xiao Qian said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that under the current situation, it is still the best policy to be peaceful, and since the imperial court has formulated a policy of appeasing the people and calming down, it must be resolutely implemented.

The people of Xue Yantuo are very barbaric, they have no fixed place, they come and go like the wind, and I Datang fight against them, and I do not have an advantage.

For the sake of today's plan, it is still necessary to forbear, make a slight concession to the Xue Yantuo people, in exchange for border peace, and create conditions for the imperial court to implement the policy of appeasing the people and calming down.

After the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is further enhanced, dealing with foreign enemies like Xue Yantuo can achieve twice the result with half the effort. ”

"yes, yes. Lord Xiao has a point. The civil servants echoed for a while.

Wang Yuan, a servant of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Your Majesty, Lord Xiao's words are the way of the old man to seek the country. The minister suggested that he negotiate with Xue Yantuo patiently, as long as the conditions they put forward are within the scope of our dynasty's tolerance, they are acceptable.

Ministers are in favor of peace and pro. ”

"The ministers are in favor of peace." The civil servants said in unison. None of them are willing to fight, they are not willing to live hard and tense days.

Seeing this situation, Li Shimin was extremely disappointed. He shook his head and said, "That's it for today, let's disperse." ”

The study room of the Liangyi Palace.

Not long after Li Shimin returned to the Liangyi Palace, Wei asked for an audience.

Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, please don't be discouraged, Yi Nan's performance has planted the seeds of anger in the hearts of the ministers, and the blood in their hearts will explode sooner or later." ”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "I understand that the pressure they are under is not enough, and I believe that Yi Nan will help us do it." ”

Wei Zheng said with a smile: "Your Majesty, then let's continue to act and provide this opportunity for Yi Nan." ”

Li Shimin laughed and said, "Yes, help him again." ”

He instructed Wang De, called Tang Fei, and explained to him.

Tang Fei took the order and left.

Honglu Temple Guest House.

Yi Nan was very excited, he bullied Li Shimin today, and he was very happy. The most important thing is that he knows from Li Shimin's still attitude that the wolf king has not fallen into his hands.

even said that Li Shimin didn't notice that there was such a thing as a wolf king.

He said, "Let's hurry up and find the whereabouts of the wolf king. ”

Bo Tie said: "The minister has been thinking about this question just now, and now he has some eyebrows. Leave this matter to the minister. ”

Yi Nan said, "Okay, you can do it." In order to cooperate with you, I will bully and bully Li Shimin again, and let him focus on the matter of getting along. ”

Chang'an County Prison in Jingzhao Prefecture.

The matter of the wolf king mentioned by the tomb robber did not attract the attention of the government, and this tomb robbery case was treated as an ordinary tomb robbery case. The prisoners were kept in ordinary cells.

The last time he killed two tomb robbers, he left three tomb robbers behind, in order to squeeze out the belongings they had stolen over the years, and he was not particularly interested in the wolf king.

After all, the wolf king does not have any special significance for the Han people.

On this day, a jailer led a man with the appearance of a sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked man into the cell, and he said to the cell boss, "This is the warden who asked me to bring it, and he wants to see the tomb robber named Hongshan." ”

The merchant took out two Persian silver coins, handed them to the cell boss, and said, "Your Excellency, please make it easier." ”

The cell boss saw that he was generous, and he was introduced by the warden, so he didn't talk nonsense, and took him into the prison area.

The two of them walked down the long hallway to one of the innermost cells. Inside the cell was the tomb robber named Hongshan and two other prisoners.

The merchant took out two more Persian silver coins, handed them to the cell boss, and said, "My lord, I would like to talk to Hongshan alone about the affairs of his family, and please make it easier." ”

The head of the cell had two more Persian silver coins, and his heart blossomed, and he led Hongshan to an empty cell, and said to the merchant, "You can talk, and when the talk is over, just call me." ”

With that, he locked the door of his cell and left.

The merchant took out a bottle of wine and a roast chicken and handed it to the tomb robber.

The grave robber stretched out his dirty hand and ate greedily.

The merchant said, "Your name is Hongshan, you have an old mother and a younger sister, and you live in Xinglin Village, Chang'an County. Here are your mother's letters. ”

As he spoke, the merchant handed him the letter.

Hongshan wiped his grease mouth and said vigilantly: "My mother is illiterate, where did she get the letters?" ”

The merchant smiled and said, "Does your next-door neighbor have a private school gentleman surnamed Gao?" Your mother asked him to ghostwrite it. ”

Hongshan studied in private school, knew a lot of words, and also recognized Mr. Gao's handwriting. And he looked at it.

The letter said that the merchant had given her a large sum of money to do what the merchant had told her to do.

Hongshan put down the letter and asked, "What do you want me to do?" ”

The merchant said, "I only ask you about the whereabouts of the statue of the Wolf King, and if you help me, I will take good care of your family."

If you can't help me, I'll take good care of your family. ”

The merchant smiled, but his tone was full of threat.

Hongshan saw that this person had grasped the situation of his family in such detail, and he was so generous, he knew that this person must be a very powerful person. If he deals with his own family, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Hongshan gave in and offered the merchant a secret location, where he said he would be able to find the companion of the tomb robber who had taken the Wolf King.

That night, nine ditches in Chang'an County.

The night was blank, and the moon glowed a bleak white.

On a hillside with low bushes, there was a ruined tomb, standing alone, eerie and terrifying.

At midnight, a group of black-clothed men armed with knives and guns groped towards the tomb.

Suddenly, a wild cat sprang out of a bush, startling the men into a cold sweat.

A man was so frightened by this sudden fright that he fell to the ground at once, and a big man beside him grabbed his arm and pulled him up at once, so that he did not make a sound from falling to the ground.

The moonlight shone on this person's face, and a familiar face suddenly appeared, he was the businessman, that is, Bo Ti.

Bo Tie nodded, thanked him, and walked forward.

The Great Han was Tie Limu, the head of the Yi Nan Guard, who was the first to come to the tomb, and the other sword-wielding warriors surrounded the tomb.

Tieliwood bent down and groped under the tombstone, and soon the tombstone made a slight humming sound, and it opened like a door, revealing a large hole in the back.

Tie Limu listened attentively, waved his hand, and several Xue Yantuo warriors got in, and he followed them in.

Soon after, the post waiting in front of the entrance of the cave heard a shouting and the sound of weapons coming from inside.

It didn't take long for a cheer to be heard from inside. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
