"What about the cultivators of those various forces? Although they have all lost their cultivation, they have also seen Mr. Li's redemption for me and several others! ”

Naoki Kusakabe raised the question in his heart, saying that it was a vague word for salvation, but in fact, it was to make him surrender.

"I'm going to put them all back, and at the same time let the various forces know what happened to them. There are two main reasons for this: first, it is to completely arouse the anger of the He Mao clan and its subordinate forces, and therefore put forward a strong desire for civil war against the Dongying royal family; The second is to lure them to send masters of the cultivation world to infiltrate Datang in advance to carry out all kinds of revenge against me. Li Zhi explained.

Sunshibe Naohui's face was stunned, and then he understood a little, daring to do this can only show that Li Zhizhen has transcendent strength, not coercion and coercion.

But even if he knew this, he couldn't let it go on like this, because he was not worried about the safety of the cultivators who came to the Great Tang Dynasty, but was worried about the overly strong threat against the Dongying royal family.

So he hurriedly said:

"I am convinced of Mr. Lee's strength, but I am worried that the opposition of the people will be too strong and will pose a great threat to the imperial power, because Mr. Lee does not understand the intricacies of the relations within the ruling class, which is very disturbing. I think it is very likely that the imperial power will be overthrown by someone with a heart, that is, within the royal family, there are also all kinds of covetousness, such as today the emperor is in a state of serious illness, and I am very worried that someone will take risks! ”

Li Zhi actually wanted him to stop this, and at the same time, he could further consolidate the strong strength guarantee of his own side that was not afraid of any cultivation force

"So what do you think is going to do with those people? Can't they all stay in Datang, or simply take their lives? Li Zhi asked rhetorically.

As if he was worried that Li Zhi would insist on his own opinion, Naoki Sunsakabe hurriedly organized words and said:

"I think that by adopting a superficially negative and slow approach, those people can be put in prison and use the excuse of waiting for the relevant parties to lead people, so as to delay the other party's reaction! I will take advantage of this time difference to discuss the best solution with the royal family as soon as possible, and at the same time, I will secretly pay attention to the specific details of the other party's dispatch to Datang, and send someone to Datang in the same boat as them, and hand over the information to Mr. Li's side at the port as soon as possible! ”

Li Zhi thought for a while, "What I think is wrong is that I am not waiting indefinitely?" If your royal family does not come to a final conclusion for a while, it will delay my next action! ”

"No, Mr. Li!" Naoki Kusakabe expressed very urgently, "With my understanding of the current condition of the emperor and the temperament of Prince Kusakabe, after clearly learning the detailed evidence of Prince Otsu's rebellion, I will take decisive measures to curb it to ensure the safety of the imperial family!" And the Prince Otsu and the Kamo clan secretly colluded, once the Kamo clan created an environment with a strong desire for war among the people, it was not ruled out that they would take the opportunity to trick the Otsu prince to take the opportunity to usurp the throne! Dengzhou is the closest Datang port to Dongying, and the sea distance is more than 3,000 miles, which is an excellent time difference of at least half a month for round trips! ”

Li Zhijian frowned and said, "You mean to use this half a month to let the royal family solve the internal hidden dangers?" ”

Naohui said: "Actually, it is good to have an extra one-way time, half a month's time, which refers to the time period when Mr. Li's side gets the latest news from our royal family, once the royal family recognizes the feasibility of Mr. Li and his party going to Dongying, you can immediately set off to rush, we will collect the most accurate information in the remaining eight days, to cooperate with Mr. Li to carry out the most effective severe attack on the Hemao clan!" ”

"Can you guarantee that the Dongying side has complete control over the timing of the ships traveling to and from the Tang Dynasty?"

"Please rest assured that the only port pseudo-official wharf leading to Datang is garrisoned by the army, and a fixed nine-day flight is the norm, even if there is a temporary change due to urgent affairs, the royal family needs to issue the port opening authority! My half-month period is already compressed, maybe there is at least an eighteen days time difference! Even if the next shipping after I arrived would normally sail to Datang, there would still be people of ours keeping an eye on the guests on the ship, and if there were cultivators mixed in, someone would definitely come with the ship to inform Mr. ”

"Can I understand that the next ferry arrives in Datang, and you can get a clear opinion from your royal family?"

"My purpose is to try to get to this point! Therefore, I think that these cultivators today should at least continue to be detained, or simply eliminated! ”

"It's simple, but there's a problem, how do you make sure that no one in the know gets on board?"

"This is not difficult to do, first, the Tang side continues to detain the Dongying cultivators who were arrested in Dengzhou Port, and second, in the name of sending Tang envoys, to issue an order to restrict any Dongying businessmen from returning with the last two ships."

"But you can't let the empty ship return to Dongying, right? It's too conspicuous! ”

"It doesn't matter, we can take advantage of the centralized transportation of goods, and fill the entire interior and exterior of the ship with the goods of all the Dongying merchants, and use the urgent need of the royal family's goods as an excuse that it will not cause the slightest repercussions. At the same time, before setting sail, the Tang soldiers disguised themselves as the guards of the Tang Envoy's Office, and closely watched whether there were any suspicious people mixed on board! ”

Taiping has been listening intently, and said to Li Zhi at this moment: "I think this move is feasible, even if some Dongying merchants in Dengzhou Port are dissatisfied, they will be controlled on our territory, as long as the news is not fed back with the ship, the plan of the lower part of the sun will be secret enough!" ”

Immediately, he looked at Naoki under the sun: "The premise is that the people in the Tang envoy's mansion who are currently in Dengzhou can be trusted?" The Tang Dynasty Envoy's Mansion is stationed in Luoyang, how to ensure that those who are interested will not board ships and return in other ports of Datang? ”

Naoki Kusakabe smiled slightly:

"At present, there are no high-level officials in Luoyang Mansion, and the remaining officials do not have the authority to receive the entry and exit documents of Datang foreigners, and they cannot board the ship without documents! As for the people that Mr. Li spared today, they are all officials sent by the royal family, and they have nothing to do with the He Mao clan and its affiliated forces, and the royal family controls their life and death, and they definitely dare not have different intentions! What's more, this time alone scared their guts! ”

The three of them had an in-depth discussion on this matter for a long time before they returned to find the transcripts and relevant evidence of the Tang officials.

Early in the morning of the second day, Li Yi and his entourage returned to Luoyang City, while Os, Behayi, and Farid returned directly to the Shengjing Zero, and their main duty was to supervise the ship, and the relevant business was arranged by the three major clans and the people sent by the Dengzhou government.

There was nothing to do all the way, and on the third day, he entered Luoyang, Taiping rushed to Wuhou as soon as possible, and Li Zhi stayed in Zhengqing Wenqitang for a period of time before stepping on the time agreed with Taiping to enter the palace and meet Gaozong.

Gaozong carefully read the relevant evidence in Li Zhi's hand, and after a long time, he raised his head and said with a smile: "Yue'er, you and Mr. Li have solved a big trouble for the imperial court!" If we don't notice it, and let the Dongying cultivation forces continue to develop in Datang, it will really bring us war! ”

Taiping looked a little proud: "The key is Mr. Li, when he met that group of Dongying ronins, there was a third-level master at the peak of it, if there was no Mr. Li and his subordinates, my daughter would be humiliated!" ”

Gaozong nodded, he had already reported this matter, so he would affirm Li Zhi's methods against Dongying's envoys in Tang.

Even Wu Zetian thought the same, at that time, they had never known that there was still so much evidence that confirmed the insidious conspiracy of the Dongying cultivation world.

、

Although there will be some relevant news from the interrogation of Junchen last time, it is far less detailed than the evidence this time, and it also involves the open and secret battles in the Dongying royal family, as well as the bribery of Dongying's envoys in Tang.

The envoy in Tang was implicated in the Dongying cultivation forces, and the nature of this matter could change, so Gaozong said that the two of them had solved a big trouble for the imperial court.

On the way here, Princess Taiping had already conveyed the praise from the Empress Wu, no matter which side Li Zhixin took, at least this time he did make a great contribution.

And the solution he then adopted was also very surprising to Empress Wu, originally Li Zhi in his mind, the word Yuzhong took up a lot of weight, but this time Li Zhi took the initiative to kill the Dongying Ryukyu Islands in the name of the cultivation world without being sent by the imperial court, which was the eternal future trouble of the Tang Dynasty, which had already made Empress Wu feel a little moved.

Not to mention Li Zhi's political tendencies in the future, this time it is indeed for the sake of the entire Datang Society, and I really don't see any selfish motives hidden in it.

But in front of Princess Taiping, Empress Wu did not show much obvious excitement or relief, but in addition to letting her daughter convey praise, when Taiping Lin left, Empress Wu spat out a sentence: King Zhongyi? Interesting!

Therefore, in six words, Taiping once asked Li Zhi what he meant, and Li Zhi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter what she means, she doesn't want to deal with me directly, and I will try my best to avoid confronting her head-on in the future, as long as it doesn't threaten me and business, I don't care how she treats me!" ”

Talking about this mentality to Gao Zong, he laughed and said: "Mr. Li, you are right to do this, it is a bit too much to say that the king does not see the king, but since the two sides are incompatible, there will be conflicts together, and trying to avoid it is the only correct choice." By the way, do you really plan to kill Dongying in half a month? ”

Li Zhi nodded firmly: "Your Majesty, this matter must be strangled as soon as possible, otherwise its danger will far exceed that of raising tigers!" ”

"You really don't need the help of the imperial court?"

"At the moment, I can't fully trust all the news from Dongying, and I will also go back in the name of the Tang Dynasty cultivation world, and the imperial court should not appear in the Ming place for the time being!"

"Hmm!" Gaozong patted him approvingly, "It's rare that I see people accurately this time, your loyalty to the Tang Dynasty is indeed not due to selfish thoughts, the sword surnamed Li and Shang Fang are handed over to you, I did the right thing!" Oh, that's right, there's Yue'er! ”

Li Zhi and Taiping looked a little embarrassed, after all, the two of them belonged to the gangsters, and they didn't say it properly, and there was still the problem of Taiping's noble identity.

This kind of behavior similar to cheating, Gaozong opened his eyes and closed his eyes, and the two of them pretended to be confused again, and the matter could be confused.

Unexpectedly, Gaozong brought it up solemnly, which made the two of them a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Gaozong did not talk about it again, "Because of this matter, I have already sent someone to summon the crown prince to come, this matter is of great significance, and this prince needs to face it personally, so that it is better to have an attitude problem about how to deal with you in the future." ”

Li Zhi knew that this sentence was aimed at him, Gaozong's presence or absence was completely different concepts for Li Xian, at that time he had become the king of a country, and the change in mentality was certain, Gaozong was to avoid Li Xian's hot-headedness for a while, which led to a gap between the two people.

This kind of worry is by no means unfounded, nor is it exaggerated, Gaozong also climbed up from the position of crown prince, and no one knows better than him how the mentality will change dramatically.

The reason why he deliberately found out the ambiguous relationship between Li Zhi and Taiping in front of Li Xian before was also Gaozong's consideration in this regard.
