Chapter 329: The Khan's eldest son
Early in the morning, the front of the Honglu Temple is still heavily guarded, this situation has been more than half a month, under the impetus of some well-intentioned people, now even the Shengdou people in Chang'an City know that the Turkic Khan is now assassinated in the Honglu Temple, His Majesty was furious, and personally ordered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to thoroughly investigate the case.
Even now, the six rates of the East Palace are still blocking all the exits of the Honglu Temple, but fortunately, there is no major event for the Turkic Khan now, and it coincides with the British Duke personally commanding the Eastern Crusade, so this matter is not so shocking, but if the truth cannot be found, I am afraid it is not trivial.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
In front of the main gate of Honglu Temple, although Li Hong was dressed in civilian clothes, Wang Fangyi still recognized him at a glance, hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and said.
Today, Li Hong is a light car, and he did not bring a large number of entourages with him, but simply followed a few guards, and there was a Di Renjie beside him, so he came to Honglu Temple.
"Excuse me! What is the situation in Honglu Temple today? ”
After a pause, Li Hong didn't hesitate, and asked directly.
These days, Wang Fangyi has been guarding around Honglu Temple, and no one knows the situation better than him.
"Back to Your Highness, that Turkic Khan's injuries have healed a lot, and now he can get out of bed and walk around! However, from the humble point of view, that Ashina Fu Nian was probably frightened by such an assassination!
Since he woke up, he has been hiding in that courtyard and refusing to come out, even his originally aggressive subordinates are very well-behaved, Yan Shangshu has been running to Honglu Temple every day for the past few days, but those people are stunned to push Yan Shangshu out of the door! ”
Although Wang Fangyi's tone was respectful, there was a hint of disdain.
He is also a figure who has seen blood, although he has never really been on the battlefield, but his martial arts are not in vain, and he also suppressed mountain bandits in his early years, so he looks down on Ashina Fu Nian's behavior as a frightened bird.
It's just that after Li Hong listened, he smiled faintly and glanced at Di Renjie, who thought for a moment and asked Wang Fangyi.
"General Wang, in this way, those Turkic people have not even planned to hold peace talks these days, except for the officials who have seen the Dali Temple?"
You must know that although Li Hong is busy with the affairs of the Eastern Crusade these days, he does not pay too much attention to the affairs here.
But the matter of peace talks has never stopped, and since the last time Pei Yan's matter happened, Yan Shansi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, dared to be lazy in this matter, and he personally stared at all affairs, and he almost lived in Honglu Temple these days.
What's more, no matter who is behind this assassination, the biggest beneficiary is the Turks, how could they turn away Yan Shansi, who is in charge of the peace talks, at this time?
"This ...... I don't know what those Turks think! ”
Hearing Di Renjie's words, Wang Fangyi was stunned, paused, showed a trace of doubt on his face, and spoke.
"When Ashina Funian was just assassinated, they were very happy, what did they say to let Datang give them a satisfactory answer, and later after Ashina Funian woke up, those Turks suddenly became honest, and they didn't go out of the door all day, and even Yan Shangshu hadn't seen them for several days!"
This is a bit strange, in any case, the reason why things changed must be because of Ashina's awakening, but with Li Hong's understanding of him, he doesn't seem to be a person who will let go of this opportunity anyway!
After pondering for a moment, Li Hong's heart moved, and he spoke softly.
"General Wang, Ashina Fu Nian was unconscious at that time, so who is the person in charge of the peace talks on the Turkic side?"
According to what Wang Fangyi said just now, at the beginning, although the peace talks were repeated, they were actually still going on, and at that time, Ashina Fu Nian was already in a coma, and the prime minister Ashdwin Fu was also thrown into Dali Temple by Li Hong, so who will continue to preside over this matter in Turks?
"Back to Your Highness, it's Ashina Daman!"
Wang Fangyi thought for a moment and replied.
"Ashina Daman?"
A look of doubt appeared on Di Renjie's face, obviously a little unfamiliar with this name.
"It's the eldest son of Ashina Fu Nian, the boy who was promised to come to my Tang Dynasty to be a proton!"
Li Hong frowned and explained softly.
Since he has always presided over the peace talks, Li Hong is naturally very familiar with the personnel on the Turkic side, but this Ashina Daman is a cowardly and gentle young man in Li Hong's impression.
I didn't expect him to be so calm.
"That's right, he was quite calm at that time, but after Ashdwin Fu came back, he presided over the peace talks, and later, after Ashina Fu Nian woke up, he closed the door directly!"
Wang Fangyi continued to explain.
At the same time, Di Renjie's face was also a little moved, pondered for a moment, and said softly.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid this matter is not simple, Ashina's behavior is really too strange...... And there is a vague speculation in the minister's heart, I'm afraid that Ashina Daman is also inseparable from this matter, at least he should know some inside information! ”
Di Renjie's tone was very cautious, but also very firm.
Obviously, I am very confident in my own judgment!
"Well, since I'm here today, I must investigate this matter clearly!"
Li Hong frowned slightly, and said softly.
With that, he turned around and walked in the front direction of Honglu Temple, while Wang Fangyi and Di Renjie followed closely behind.
Honglu Temple still respects the Turkic envoys very much, and specially arranges independent accommodation for them, and even takes into account the problem of eating habits, even the daily food, but also deliberately finds people from Turkic origin to do it.
It's just that in this way, the small courtyard has become the territory of the Turks, not only is it guarded day and night, but even Yan Shansi insists on not opening the door.
The angry old man was trembling, but there was nothing he could do, it was difficult for him to go in directly.
He turned around dejectedly, but when he saw Li Hong coming, Yan Shansi was shocked, but he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Yan Shangshu doesn't have to be polite."
Li Hong smiled slightly, helped Yan Shansi up, and then his face was slightly straight, and he glanced at the entourage behind him.
Wang Fusheng immediately stepped forward and shouted loudly into the small courtyard.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
However, what is strange is that Wang Fusheng shouted three times in a row, the gate of the small courtyard was still closed, Li Hong frowned slightly, and felt inexplicably that something was wrong in his heart.
And immediately after that, Li Hong heard a terrible scream...... (To be continued.) )
