Chapter 160: Conspiracy and Assassination

Li Jiancheng looked at Li Anyan and said, "What's the matter?" ”

The Protocol House has held the heads and chiefs of tribes and states for more than thirty years, and these people are all unconvinced, and no one in the court will be naïve to think that they will really surrender. Especially Jieli and Songtsen Gampo, both of them are the kings of a country, commanding the whole country, and they dare not be subordinate.

It would be strange if they did surrender now.

Li Anyan smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, this matter, I am afraid that there are seven sects and five hopes, four surnames in Hedong, and even the merits of the nobles of Guanlong!" ”

"Who is involved?" Li Jiancheng looked at Li Anyan, with a thick murderous aura in his voice.

Li Anyan shook his head and said: "There is no definite evidence, the sixty-seven eyeliners of the Zuo Prison Guards on the periphery of the Protocol Courtyard, the thirty-seven hidden piles, as well as the two regiments of the Zuo Wu Houwei Xun Mansion and more than six hundred government soldiers, none of them are alive. It's not something that can be done by one family, and most likely, they're all involved! ”

Li Jiancheng nodded, and his face calmed down.

It's not that he doesn't care about the tragic deaths of more than 600 people, but he really believes Li Anyan's words, which is definitely not a shirk. The guards of the left prison are responsible for the security of the palace on the surface, but in fact, their secret duties are the same as those of the hundred horsemen of the Qin Palace, responsible for supervising the hundred officials and inspecting the subordinates.

Of course, in the Xuanwumen Change. The entire Left Prison Guards were almost wiped out, and they all chose to be loyal to Li Yuan, and the general of the Left Prison Guards, Yu Yanzhang, was killed in battle, and the eight hussar generals (quite a Chong Du Lieutenant) and 46 lieutenants were all killed, and even the grassroots officers at the brigade level were killed in two-thirds.

Li Shimin had a harmonious relationship with the family gate lords, and used the left and right clearance rates of the East Palace to expand the left prison guards, and Li Anyan served as the general of the left prison guards, but the officers and even the non-commissioned officers below were recommended by the gate valves and the families who served the East Palace, and they could accurately find the hidden stakes of the left prison guards, and they could find the dark lines in time, indicating that the left prison guards had defected, and the level was not low, and the power they held was not small.

As the saying goes, there are no eternal friends in the world, only eternal interests. When Li Jiancheng was the prince of the Tang Dynasty, almost everyone in the family fell to Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin only represented the interests of the Hanmen and the generals. However, with the separation of the two winners, especially the reform after Li Jiancheng ascended the throne, it touched the cheese of the family gate.

The elite soldiers streamlined the administration, so that the clan gate valve suffered heavy losses, silent confrontation, and was replaced by Li Jiancheng with small officials to replace the official, a large number of officials from the family were dismissed, and now the court is full of a large number of cold and Shu officials, which makes the clan gate valve like a thorn in the throat. Although the clan lords were dissatisfied, Li Jiancheng won the hearts of the army through the reform of the military system and the use of the imperial court's financial revenue and gold mine income to distribute money to the soldiers.

The military stood on Li Jiancheng's side, and even if the clan gate lords opposed Li Jiancheng, they did not dare to take an excessive reaction. They can only lie dormant in secret.

At this moment, Wei Zheng, who was silent on the side, said the key to the problem: "Your Majesty, why did they do this?" ”

Although it is said that the children of the family who used the guards of the left prison acted as internal responses, solved the hidden stakes of the protocol house, sent dead soldiers to attack the Zuo Wuhou garrison guards, and sent the heads of these countries and departments of the protocol house out of Chang'an City.

Even if they can successfully return to their respective tribes, they can take over their tribes, and then arm themselves into an army to counterattack the Tang Dynasty.

However, Datang's hundred battles are not vegetarians.

I'm afraid that as soon as they raised the flag on their side, they were crushed by the Tang army all the way, tied up, and re-imprisoned in Chang'an City.

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng and said, "What do you mean ......?"

Wei Zheng said with a smile: "Jieli may not be reconciled, but the minister has already scattered the Turks, even if he returns to the Mobei royal court, I am afraid he will not be able to gather the tribes, and the same is true of Songtsan Gampo." Unless ......"

Li Jiancheng said: "Unless, they are sure of victory!" ”

Li Jiancheng's gaze immediately fell on the huge map, the territory of the Tang Dynasty, at this time, like a huge begonia leaf, from Liaodong to Anxi, from Lake Berga to the Indochina Peninsula.

Suddenly, Li Jiancheng's eyes fell on Liaodong.

According to the strategic rehearsal of the Ministry of War, the elite troops of the Andong Protectorate should be concentrated in the Pyongyang area, and there are less than 20,000 Tang Army soldiers guarding the thousands of miles of border from Jizhou to Pyongyang. On the border of thousands of miles, 20,000 people are like a ladle of water in the ocean.

Li Jiancheng's face changed greatly: "Liaodong? ”

Wei Zheng sighed and said, "I'm afraid it's more than that!" ”

Wei Zheng's hand, from Rouran Shan Yutai, slowly went all the way to the east, rowed to the Qinglong River, and then to Lulong Village!

Li Jiancheng's face became even more ugly.

Once it is really as Wei Zheng expected, the entire Northeast will be eroded and out of control.

However, Wei Zheng shook his head and said: "There is no point in doing this, the Tang Army's naval division is on the sea, and it can't block Liaodong." ”

Li Jiancheng's eyes lit up suddenly.

It is exactly what Wei Zheng said that the greatest advantage of the imperial court is that it has the largest naval division in this era, more than 100 Wuya warships, as well as Jiangning Shipyard, Quxian Shipyard, Buqi Shipyard, and Jingkou Shipyard, which can pull up 100,000 sailors at any time, from the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, and the East China Sea, it can be said that there is almost no barrier within the four seas.

No matter who it was, they couldn't stop the sailors of the Tang Army.

At this moment, a little eunuch took a small step unique to a eunuch, and quickly ran to the main hall, and the little eunuch was about to tell Li Jiancheng, and Li Jiancheng casually made a silent gesture.

Wei Zheng's fingers shifted from Rouran to the direction of Yunzhong.

Li Jiancheng shook his head and said, "Xue Yantuo is scorching, and he is powerless to suddenly secure the defense line of the Northern Metropolitan Protectorate!" ”

"Has Your Majesty ever thought about what if the Anbei Army betrayed?"

Wei Zheng continued: "In the fourth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the imperial court set up the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, which was under the jurisdiction of the Hanhai Governor's Mansion (Hui Ministry), Yanran Governor's Mansion (Duo Yan Ge Ministry), Jinwei Governor's Mansion (Servant Bone Department), Youling Governor's Mansion (Baye Ancient Department), Guilin Governor's Mansion (Tongluo Department), Lushan Governor's Mansion (Sijie Department), Jiankun Governor's Mansion (Jiegu Department), Yinshan Governor's Mansion (Gelulu Departments), and other eight Governors' Mansions, Gaolan Prefecture (Hunbu), Gaoque Prefecture (Huxue Department), Jilu Prefecture (Xi Jiebu), Jitian Prefecture (Aluo Department), Yuxi Prefecture (Qixin Department). ), Linzhou (Sijie Beibu), Yanzhou (Baibu), Xuanque Prefecture (Guli Ministry) a total of ten prefectures, each with the commander as the governor, the assassin Shi ......"

Speaking of this, Li Jiancheng's face was so gloomy that he was about to wring out water.

The Metropolitan Protectorate of Anbei has jurisdiction over 11 prefectures, with a total of 11 Zhichong Prefectures and a total of 16,500 troops. However, they have jurisdiction over eight prefectures and ten prefectures, with a total of more than 3 million nomadic tribes, and according to the habitual way of the nomads, the whole army is a soldier, and the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, not to mention the 70,000 troops that block the scorching Tuo, whether they can hold the Yunzhong Line is a serious problem.

Li Jiancheng said hesitantly: "Qin Qiong shouldn't betray, right?" ”

Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "Qin Qiong has an old relationship with the abolished King of Qin!" ”

At this time, the little eunuch said: "All the officials are here, please Your Majesty ascend to the court!" ”

Li Anyan said: "Your Majesty, the guards of the left prison are no longer credible, please order the immediate transfer of all the guards of the left prison with the forbidden army, whether they have betrayed Your Majesty or not, for Your Majesty's safety...... I have to guard against it! ”

Without waiting for Li Anyan to finish speaking, Li Jiancheng waved his hand and said, "Xuan Wei Wenzhong!" ”

Wei Wenzhong was originally the second lieutenant of Guo Yi of the Second Mansion of the Right Guard of the East Palace, and later followed Chen Yingnan to fight in the north, gradually made meritorious contributions, and was promoted to the current general of the Left Guard. The leading guard of the army is the Tang Dynasty following the Sui Dynasty system, from the left imperial guard restructured, the palace forbidden guard, where the Yi Mansion of the Yi Guard, the outer house of the sound of the voice, assigned; Where the division of troops to guard, then know the west of the imperial city to help shop and the capital, the gate of the garden city.

Although Wei Wenzhong's ability is limited and he has no extraordinary talent, he is the most loyal.

……

The steam engine train was running on the ground, and Chen Ying had no time to enjoy the scenery along the way, because his eyelids jumped, of course, Chen Ying was not superstitious, he believed that his eyelids were jumping, not because he was rich, nor because of a disaster, but because he was too tired and needed to rest.

With the Qingcheng Fan family losing sincerity to the Chen family, Shuzhong Daomen paid a total of 8 million yuan to Chen Ying and obtained 40% of the shares from Chang'an to Yazhou Chidao.

Yazhou, the Ya'an of later generations. This is the starting point of the world-famous Ancient Tea Horse Road, because Ya'an produces tea and is the source of the world's tea culture. In the original history, from the Tang and Song dynasties, the Tang Dynasty began to trade with the foreign tribes of the border Cypriots, at first they used copper coins to buy horses of the Cypriot peoples, but then it was discovered that the Cypriots melted the copper coins to make weapons, and the Song Dynasty stopped buying the products of the Cypriots with money, but changed back to the barter trading mode.

For the Tibetans outside the Saiwai, they found that tea can detoxify and eliminate diseases, can turn greasy and help digestion, so tea has become an indispensable thing in the life of Tibetans who eat dairy products with meat, fat and fat as the staple food all year round. This is a kind of control in disguise, the control of tea is equivalent to the control of the Tibetan people outside the Saiwai who did not obey the religion at that time, through this kind of trade, not only strengthened the force of the imperial court (the purchase of war horses) at the same time, but also weakened the force of the Tibetan people outside the Saiwai (a large number of war horses lost and with the tea into the Central Plains culture), so there is a tea horse trade, so there is the ancient tea horse road.

Of course, although there is no shortage of horses in Datang, Bashu merchants have explored this trade route and can reach Tianzhu from now on. However, Yazhou is not the Central Plains after all, and the products are not as rich as the Central Plains, and their specialty tea cannot satisfy their appetite.

The construction of the Chi Road from Chang'an to Yazhou was also in line with the plan of the main artery of the Chen Ying Railway, and there were businessmen in Shuzhong who were willing to pay, and Chen Ying had no reason to refuse at all.

If businessmen in other places are also like the Bashu merchants and the Shiclan, they are willing to cooperate with Chen Ying, take risks together, and share the benefits brought by Chidao, Chen Ying is willing to build Chidao to every state in Datang.

Ma Zhou also brought the cooperation intention of the Tang royal businessmen, the Tang Royal Business Alliance, all the royal family members are willing to fund the construction of the Lingzhou to Hanhai Chi Road, they are even more stingy, only willing to pay three million guan, to get seventy percent of the part of this gallop road, Chen Ying naturally refused without hesitation, less than eight million guan is not negotiated.

Chen Ying was not worried about the sincerity of the cooperation of the Tang Royal Business Alliance, once he returned to Chang'an, he would definitely scold these clans to the blood.

Just when Chen Ying woke up in a daze and half asleep, the train actually stopped abruptly, and the huge inertia made Chen Ying almost fall off the sleeper of the train, but fortunately, his bed was about a foot wide, with enough space for Chen Ying to roll.

Chen Ying's head hit the wall of the carriage, covered his head and asked, "Someone, what's the matter?" ”

Guo Luo said outside the carriage: "Tell the lord, it is said that there is a malfunction in the gallop ahead!" ”

Chen Ying pushed the window and found that he had actually arrived in a mountainous area at this time.

Riding the train is tiring, and taking the steam train is even more tiring.

Chen Ying picked up his cloak, stepped off the train, and walked along the gallop towards the alleged accident site.

After a short time, Chen Ying and his guards came to the place where the accident occurred, which was a valley, and a large stone of more than 350,000 catties rolled down from the hillside, which was crossing the railroad tracks.

A green-shirted official came with a team of slave laborers to solve the problem, and dozens or hundreds of thinly clothed slave laborers tied to the stone with crowbars and ropes, ready to remove the stone.

Chen Ying instantly discovered the problem. It was nighttime, and the officer's reaction was too fast. According to Guo Luo's prompt, there are still sixty miles away from Yanshi, and it is only a quarter of an hour to feel the tremor on the train, and it can reach the accident site from Yanshi City sixty miles away in a quarter of an hour?

Unless, they can drive a car, or take a plane.

Secondly, there are obvious traces of man-made carving on this stone, although it is camouflaged, it can be clearly seen that according to the slope of the hillside, the kinetic energy of the stone will obviously smash through the rails and rush to the bottom of the valley.

What's even more unusual is that these people are all men in the prime of life, and they have a murderous aura on them.

Chen hurriedly retreated, and at this moment, the green-robed official picked up a crossbow machine from his sleeve and shouted, "Kill the thief!" ”

The killers mixed with the slave labor invariably picked up the crossbow machine.

At least twenty crossbows were aimed at Chen Ying.

Guo Luo yelled: "Lord be careful! ”

Chen Ying also began to retreat quickly.

However, the Assassins pulled the crossbow in turn.

"Boom, ......Boom, Boom, Boom" A dense sound of breaking the air sounded.
