After passing through the secret passage of the study, he came to the location of the wall where Li Zhi left last time, and saw that he took out a tray the size of a bowl with several claws on it, inserted it into the small hole behind the oil lamp according to its position, and rotated it a few times, and the whole wall made a loud noise, and slowly moved away. This design is simply against the sky, and it has caught up with modern combination locks, and even more advanced than combination locks.

The corridor went up diagonally for about twenty minutes before it came to the end, and you can imagine how long this secret passage was. When I opened the mechanism, the place that appeared was still in a study, which was not much different from the layout of my own study. Li Zhi didn't say which palace this was, but Han Xiaofeng still glanced back when he went out, and wrote the word East Palace, it seems that he still put a lot of thought into it in order to sit on the throne before.

This time, with Li Zhi's light, His Majesty the Emperor personally led the way, and naturally the road was unimpeded, no one dared to come forward to interrogate, and all the palace maids and eunuchs also bowed their heads and bent down when they saw it, not daring to look directly. After passing through the Xuande Gate and entering the Imperial Garden, it was my own sad place.

I saw that the flowers in the garden were withering, but there were still many exotic flowers and plants full of life. Suddenly I thought that there were chili peppers planted here, and my mind became active. said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has a reluctant request, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

Li Zhi smiled and said, "I don't know what Aiqing wants, let's hear it." ”

Han Xiaofeng said with a smile: "That day, when I entered the Imperial Garden, I saw a small tree that could bear that kind of pointed red fruit. I want to ask Your Majesty for one, but I don't know if I can. ”

Li Zhi smiled, "Why not, if you can come up with a clever trick later, I will reward you with one." ”

Han Xiaofeng was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

The upper study is the important place of the imperial city, and it is naturally heavily guarded. In addition to the previous dynasty, Li Zhi worked here, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this is the center of the Tang Dynasty. The eunuch who was guarding outside saw His Majesty arrive, and hurriedly opened the door. Shrieked, "Greetings to Your Majesty." ”

Han Xiaofeng saw the emperor's upper study for the first time in the Tang Dynasty, and the three words can be summed up as tall. The bookshelves are all made of golden silk nan, and from a distance it looks oily and shiny, and the layers are like gold wire borders. Sets of books are piled up layer after layer, and the entire nineteen bookshelves are full of books, which is too many. Not to mention all kinds of antiques, you can't even see it.

There is also a door behind the bookshelf, which is a room, which seems to be the place where the emperor rests when he is tired from work, and this is the place where Li Zhi wants to take him.

There were two other people in the room, Li Shuo, the dean of the academy, and Han Xiaofeng's most unexpected person, Dou Yannan, who was in charge of logistics in the Northwest Battalion.

Han Xiaofeng bowed and said, "I've seen the dean, I've seen General Dou." ”

Dou Yannan stroked his beard and smiled, "It's not a surprise to see me, haha." ”

Han Xiaofeng said with a smile: "I heard the accident, you said that the dean is here to give advice to His Majesty, I can still figure it out, but I really don't understand what you can do here." ”

Several people burst into laughter, and Li Zhi smiled and said, "You don't know our old General Dou, he is the most mysterious military aircraft department in my Tang Dynasty, appointed by His Majesty Taizong, how about it?" I didn't expect that. ”

Han Xiaofeng's mouth opened wide and said, "I really didn't expect this." ”

No wonder I always feel that Old Man Dou is very capable, he can do the escort business at the dock if he wants to, and he can do it if he wants to do a big camp, and he can do anything to help.

Li Zhi said, "Don't be poor, now that the Tang Dynasty is in turmoil, I can only rely on the three of us to turn the tide." ”

After that, the curtain on the wall was opened, revealing a huge geographical map of the Tang Dynasty, the entire wall is full, on which there are not only the territories of the governors of the assassins, but also the deployment of military towns on all sides, and even including the territories of the Western Regions such as Turkic Tubo, which is a very detailed geographical map. It can be seen that Li Zhi's ambition is very ambitious, but it is better to cover it up normally.

Dou Yannan said: "According to the information we have now, Li Yuanjing of Shanzhou has led his troops south for many days, and Fangzhou Assassin Shi and Captain Fang Yiai have also sent troops north. Anzhou Assassin Wu Wang Ke, Lanzhou Assassin Chai Lingwu have rebelled. ”

Han Xiaofeng marked all the places he said, and then Li Shuo said, "This time, it was found that the families involved include the Jinzhou Chai family, the Jiangzuo Wu family, the Tai'an Hou family, and more than ten families have contributed money or efforts to support the rebellion, and there are also many people in the DPRK who are more or less implicated. ”

Li Zhi's face turned pale when he heard the names of these people, and he reprimanded angrily: "These are the people who shout the emperor's grace all day long, but they do great rebellion. There are actually my sisters and uncles, which is really unfortunate for the family and the misfortune of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Han Xiaofeng said: "Your Majesty, don't be indignant, this forest is big, there are all kinds of birds." ”

Dou Yannan said, "Now Chang'an is embattled, it is not optimistic, people from all over the country are coming to Chang'an, it is estimated that 150,000 horses will come to the city in less than five days, and the northwest battalion and their men and horses are waiting for the opportunity to move." There are still many Jianghu sects in Chang'an City that act as internal responses, and once the city is broken and Chang'an is in danger, the situation cannot be worse. ”

Han Xiaofeng was a little puzzled and asked, "I don't know a little, why is there such a big army movement, Chang'an can't know the news?" And the Thorn Shi Junzhen of the fate does not have the ability to intercept? ”

Dou Yannan smiled bitterly and said, "How can you not know, these people have been thinking about it for a long time, and they have already planted a lot of spies in it." Just the night before yesterday, dozens of military envoys were assassinated one after another, and the people were already panicking, and some even directly defected, even if they resisted, it was just a mantis arm as a car. And the border army was also pressed to death by the Turkic Tubo in the frontier and could not return to King Qin, which was really nerve-wracking. ”

The situation really couldn't be worse, and the morale of the people who retreated all the way will inevitably be frustrated, and how can this battle be fought when the time comes.

Han Xiaofeng said, "Since there is no way to delay them outside, let's clean up the gangs in Chang'an first, otherwise the fire in the backyard will be even worse, and it is not a trivial matter for these gangs to make trouble." ”

Dou Yannan said, "This is natural, a curfew will be imposed tonight, and when the time comes, the Imperial Forest Army will cooperate with you, and tonight you must eradicate the gang of gangsters who are causing trouble in the court." ”

Han Xiaofeng said: "The Tang Sect is willing to be a pawn and clear up the thieves for His Majesty." ”

Li Zhi smiled and said, "That's very good, let General Ma act with you tonight." ”

Han Xiaofeng said, "General Dou, now King Jing can't help but take action, then Yang Xiu hasn't been dug out yet, this is a big hidden danger." ”

Dou Yannan sighed and said, "Who said no, this person is very deep in the city, I thought he would be unable to help but make a move on you, but this person has been dealing with you with fake other people's hands, and he was stunned and didn't move, like the old Wang Ba who hibernated." ”

Han Xiaofeng said: "I used the channels of the Tang Gate to search almost the entire Chang'an, but I didn't find the slightest clue. Now the only place I haven't looked for is two places, Houfu and. I really didn't dare to say it in another place, for fear of arousing Li Zhi's suspicion. ”

Li Zhi smiled and said, "The palace is right, this is right, don't say that the palace is you, even I don't know a lot of places." But you have a point, the more dangerous the place, the safer, and I'll let the Guards find it tonight. ”

Han Xiaofeng said, "There are many affairs tonight, and Weichen will retire first." ”

Dou Yannan said, "Don't be impatient, so as not to startle the snake, there are also spies within the forbidden army, paralyze them first, and then act after the curfew." ”

Li Zhi smiled and said, "The old general is reasonable, then you can go with me to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the scenery and drink tea." ”
