Chapter 113: Rain Curtain Enemy Track

"Yes. Wechen obeys! I don't know who this leader is as the Holy One speaks...... ”

Xuanzong smiled slightly: "I thought about it in many ways, and I got the recommendation of the right minister and the suggestion of Guozhong, so I selected Chang Yuan, the young secretary of Weiwei Temple, and let him enter the arsenal supervisor as the first young eunuch, and be fully responsible for the research and development of gunpowder. If he can take on the great task, let him be the chief supervisor of firearms in the future. How? ”

"Holy Wisdom! If you are from Weiwei Temple, you have rich experience in military affairs and will definitely be feasible. "Yang Qing was very worried that the person in charge of the development of gunpowder was just using it as a springboard for advancement, but he didn't have any understanding of marching and fighting, but now when he heard that Chang Yuan came out of Weiwei Temple, he didn't need to worry about it.

Xuanzong knew what Yang Qing was thinking, and he didn't think about him boldly overstepping his authority to ask about the appointment of officials, but he thought of the conversation with Yang Guozhong before, and felt a little funny. Xuanzong knew very well that Chang Yuan was the so-called Li Linfu's person, and he could also guess that the scheming Li Linfu strongly recommended Chang Yuan to him to join the military department was actually a pretense, and his purpose was to be the weapons supervisor. Of course, if Chang Yuan can make achievements in the Ordnance Prison, it will be much less difficult to re-enter the military department, but that is a later story. Guozhong is younger in the end, these officialdom tricks are not so thorough, and he really hit the plan, strongly opposing Chang Yuan to join the military department, and pretending to be generous to suggest Chang Yuan to be the advanced weapons supervisor, which is just as Li Linfu wanted. Xuanzong also pushed the boat along the water, and of course he had his own plans to do so. Li Linfu must fall, but if Li Linfu is overthrown, Yang Guozhong must not be allowed to become the second Li Youxiang. High-ranking officials can be given, but the real power positions that really do practical things cannot be given, otherwise it will inevitably be a situation where the tail will not be lost.

The world says that Li Longji was mediocre in his later years, blindly appointing power and traitors, first Li Linfu, who was a honey-bellied sword, and then Yang Guozhong, an incompetent national relative. But it seems that everyone has forgotten that he is also the founder of the prosperous era of Kaiyuan, and it is he who causes the supreme glory of all nations. To say that he doesn't know people ignores the orderly development of the Tang Empire under Li Linfu, ignores that Yang Guozhong saw An Lushan's antipathy early, and ignores that Li Bai actually doesn't have much political talent and can't be reused by Xuanzong...... Xuanzong certainly has the responsibility for the Anshi Rebellion, but it is by no means all. There are many reasons for the growth of feudal towns, and perhaps the earliest seeds were buried in the formulation and implementation of foreign policy during the Taizong period.

Yang Wang of the Ministry of Officials, Duan Hong of the Ministry of Industry, Yin An of Zhongshu Province, Mu Liang of Menxia Province, including Chang Yuan today, Guo Xi and Yang Qing standing in front of him, these are all chess pieces put down by Xuanzong, and they are chess pieces put down by Prince Li Heng.

Perhaps, Xuanzong's biggest mistake was that he cared too much about the composition of the power structure in the court, and ignored the hidden danger that the border passes were growing day by day......

Of course, for these personnel arrangements and his own painstaking efforts, Xuanzong didn't need to tell Yang Qing and the others at all.

"Ziyin and the series are here today, but what's the matter?" Xuanzong yawned lightly, after all, when he was old, his energy was always difficult to last.

"Yes. Although this matter is some speculation by Weichen and others, there is no conclusive evidence. But the stakes are so high that I have to tell the Holy One. Guo Xi straightened his waist and said, "Saint, the ministers and others suspect that someone wants to assassinate in the near future!" ”

"Huh? Is there such a thing? Xuanzong was obviously stunned, and then his face sank.

"Shengshang, yesterday someone sneaked into the back mountain, peeped into the palace forbidden, and stabbed one of Weichen's subordinates. There's a lot going on here! Yang Qing hurriedly said what happened yesterday briefly.

"How do you know that this man's purpose is to assassinate me?" Xuanzong frowned when he heard this, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"First, the holy drive is here, the world knows, our army has guarded all the large and small intersections, if we can still enter the back mountain without knowing it, it must be quietly from the roadless place to avoid surveillance and sneak in, the mountain road is rugged, the roadless place is dangerous, non-skilled people can not cross, it is not to take the wrong road, but to sneak in; Second, Weichen's stabbed subordinates were strong in martial arts, but they were still stabbed in the same situation, all because of this, they were skilled and ruthless, and they were both defeated and injured to death, and the weapons were also highly poisonous; 3. In such a heavily defended place, this person is still not afraid of hardships and dangers to sneak in, only to snoop, there must be a major plan, yesterday was just an observation, I am afraid that in the next few days there will be action! ”

"Hahaha! Good! Xuanzong looked at the two young generals in front of him with appreciation. I can analyze it so thoroughly, I really didn't misread you! Jian Yuwei is handed over to you, and it seems that I can be completely relieved. ”

Before Yang Qing could say anything, Xuanzong had already waved his hand to stop him: "Since Jian Yuwei is my Praetorian Guard, then you and others should be responsible for my safety." I already know about this, but I don't want to ask too much about it, so I'll leave it to you! ”

Yang Qing and Guo Xi were stunned: "Huh? ”

Xuanzong's eyes froze: "What?" Don't dare to take responsibility? ”

Guo Xi hurriedly said: "Holy Lord! Guarding the safety of the Son of Heaven is the duty of our generation. But now that there are signs, please also ask the Holy Lord to strengthen the palace guards, increase the mobile sentry, and the daily sleeping place, please also adjust it slightly! ”

Xuanzong looked at the two of them for a long time, and said, "Okay!" Relax your hearts, and I will tell the wrestlers to do the same. However, if the assassins really entered the inner palace, would my inner guards be useful? What is the use of the Shenwu Army and Jian Yuwei that I brought? ”

As soon as Guo Xi and Yang Qing heard such heart-wrenching words, they immediately sweated profusely, and they all got up and knelt down: "All of the above are just in case, the ministers swear to protect the palace ban, and never let the assassin step into the Huaqing Palace for half a step!" ”

"Hahahaha!" Xuanzong looked up and laughed, "Okay, get up!" It's like a war, I'm laughing with you. If I drove the army to the battlefield in person, the Northern Ya armies would naturally have to resist the enemy army and make a thorough strategy. Now it is an assassin, the number is not large, the martial arts are strong, and the outlaw is limited, so it is naturally the duty of the guards of the inner palace. I'm glad you're so alert. Get up! ”

"Thank you!" Only then did the two of them stand up nervously.

Xuanzong then laughed and teased: "If you really let the assassins not get close to the Huaqing Palace, then these assassins are too useless. Listening to what Ziyin said, the subordinate you were injured was still a martial arts leader. In this case, the assassin's skills can also be seen, what you two said before doesn't count? ”

Yang Qing's face turned red, thinking that since the assassin could sneak into the back mountain, it was really possible to go straight from the mountain to the Hall of Eternal Life where he was now, after all, it was too close. Although the Hall of Eternal Life can only be regarded as the periphery of Huaqing Palace, it can also be regarded as a part of Huaqing Palace, and if he said that he would not let the assassin step into Huaqing Palace for half a step, how could he dare to say that he was really sure? Unless, he sent Zhang Nan out this morning to see if the assassins on the mountain had left any clues and really made any gains, so that he could hope to intercept the assassins in advance when they really arrived. And it also requires the cooperation of the Assassins, who still come in the same way. If you really encounter an assassination, it is unrealistic to not let the assassins enter the Huaqing Palace, the hope is too slim, and it is a bit reliable to say that the assassins are not allowed to enter the inner palace city.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Xuanzong shook his head and smiled: "Okay, whether there are assassins or not, you just need to be loyal and do your duty, and you don't have to be too nervous, just how it should be." I don't believe that in this Huaqing Palace, there will be assassins who can hurt me in the slightest! ”
