Chapter 286: Hunt and Kill

Li Linfu said: "Your Majesty, Weichen still has something to report. This matter is very important, and the minister does not have full evidence, so the minister asks the emperor to forgive the minister for the crime of inspecting and judging. ”

Tang Xuanzong had just won a beauty, and when he was really happy at this time, the climate blamed Li Linfu for this matter, and said: "What does Aiqing say, I won't cure your sin." ”

Li Linfu said: "The minister heard the news from Dali that Luo Feng, the king of Yunnan, was dead. ”

Tang Xuanzong nodded and said, "Yes, this is a piece that has just been presented from Shangshu Province. ”

Li Linfu said: "Your Majesty, don't you think that the deaths of Pi Luo Pavilion and Ge Luo Feng are a little strange? Piloco was old and because he was injured during the battle, he could barely say that he had passed it. But there is also something wrong with carefully tasting and checking, as the king of Nanzhao, how could Pi Luo Ge be injured during the war? Can his subordinates only let him take the lead? Piloco wouldn't be so bold. Moreover, Nanzhao was not defeated at the time of the battle, so it is impossible to be injured when he fled. This matter is too strange, this is the first suspicion. ”

Tang Xuanzong said: "After the death of Pi Luo Ge, Ge Luo Feng once wrote a letter to express his feelings, Pi Luo Ge was injured by a stray arrow when he was supervising the war, and it affected the old disease, which led to the lack of skills to return to the sky. It can only be said that he was unlucky. ”

Li Linfu said: "That's natural, but I really can't see anything from the matter of Pi Luo Pavilion. However, the second point is that Ge Luofeng is also said to be a man who can carry the tripod, quite like his father's majestic posture. But it was such a man who fell seriously ill and died all of a sudden in just one year.

Father and son died one after another, and if this is a coincidence, it is too coincidental.

And after the unification of Nanzhao, who took over Ge Luofeng to take charge of Dali? Although Dali Guo wrote to explain this matter, I felt that they wanted to cover it up, and Weichen thought that Ge Luofeng's death must be a conspiracy to usurp power and seize the throne. ”

Tang Xuanzong nodded and said, "But there is a third point, you can talk about it." ”

Li Linfu said: "This third point is the most important. Does the emperor still remember who was the general who was sent to help the unification of Nanzhao? ”

Tang Xuanzong said: "Of course I remember, it's Li Shan. ”

Li Linfu said: "It is precisely that Li Shan, as a general of the expedition to the south, disobeyed the military order and helped the Nanzhao without authorization, which led to the breaking of the situation of checks and balances of the six edicts, and the unification of the six edicts by the Nanzhao. Moreover, after Li Shan returned to Beijing, he also insisted on the benefits of Chen Nanzhao's reunification, and the minister advocated strict punishment of Li Shan at that time. But the emperor was gracious and gave him a chance to mend his ways. However, the emperor and the ministers thought that this was a return of the tiger to the mountain. Li Shan not only did not repay the favor and serve the emperor, but resigned. And as far as the minister knows, Li Shan did not return to his hometown Jingzhou after resigning, where does the emperor think he will go? ”

Tang Xuanzong's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "You mean, he went to Dali?" ”

Li Linfu said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's not just so simple. The minister thought that all this was probably planned by Li Shan, and he must have used his power to secretly collude with the ministers of Nanzhao, and took the opportunity to get rid of Pi Luo Ge and Ge Luofeng, and he wanted to be the lord of Dali. ”

Tang Xuanzong heard Li Linfu say this, but I thought the same. At that time, Li Shan took the initiative to ask Ying to be the general of the expedition to the south, and according to the description of the soul chasing envoy, Nanzhao must have people who are familiar with Lijingmen's actions secretly wary, so that the spies of the soul chasing envoy will return in vain, and Li Shan has stayed in Lijingmen and the martial arts, and is very familiar with Lijingmen's style of acting, and is fully capable of sitting at this point. From this point of view, Li Shan is indeed suspected of plotting against Dali. Coupled with what Yuan Tiangang has always said about Li Shan's disobedience, these things are connected, and Tang Xuanzong has already believed nine points.

Li Linfu said again: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter is not trivial, and he should send someone to verify it as soon as possible." Bring Li Shan to justice. ”

Tang Xuanzong pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "You go down first, I will investigate this matter." ”

Li Linfu was cunning and cunning, and he knew that Tang Xuanzong was already suspicious of Li Shan, so he didn't have to mix the rest of the things, and quickly retreated.

"Summoning the Soul Chaser."

Tang Xuanzong asked, "Soul Chaser, do you know Li Shan's whereabouts?" ”

"Minister, I don't know."

Tang Xuanzong was furious: "I asked you to closely investigate Li Shan's whereabouts, do you take it as a deaf ear?" ”

"Minister, the sin deserves death. Previously, the Li Mansion had always been guarded by the Dongyang Daoist personally appointed by the master, and when Li Shan was traveling, he was protected by a master, and the spies sent by the minister were quietly dispatched. This time, Li Shan resigned and left Beijing, and the minister also sent people to follow him, but he still lost his whereabouts. ”

Tang Xuanzong said: "Sent away? Is your name Hanako? Can he, a small humble petty official, have such strength? ”

The soul chaser said: "The minister is also puzzled, but he can't find a clue, and the minister deserves death." ”

"Okay, I'll give you one last chance, give you a month, and I'll ask you if you can't find someone from Li Shan."

"The minister commands."

The soul chaser returned to Lijingmen, summoned all the Lijing guards in the door, and said: "The emperor has an order that I will find Li Shan's whereabouts and arrest him within a month." I now order all of you to go out, spare no effort, and you must find Li Shan, and there must be no mistake. ”

At this time, Li Shan was already on his way out of the capital, and Yang Miaoling did not transfer the Moon Pavilion to Wang Yuanbao, but sold it to another rich merchant, because this rich merchant happened to have a long-distance ship in exchange for it.

Zhuo Cheng and Yan Zhao took the first step to meet the batch of silver that entered Beijing, and gathered the people of the Heaven and Earth Society and marched to Quanzhou. This is the task given to them by Li Shan, the eyes are about to spend the winter, and they must reach India before the end of the winter monsoon.

Yang Miaoling and Li Shan took a carriage to Dali together.

"Xianggong, why is all this so sudden, and you suddenly decided to move to Yunnan?"

Yang Miaoling didn't know about Qing'er and them, and Li Shan told Yang Miaoling about these in detail.

"Haha, then didn't you become the king of Dali? No wonder you are willing to live with the prosperity of the capital, it turns out that this is the case. ”

Li Shan smiled: "Actually, I didn't go to Dali just to be a king, these false names are nothing to me." What I want to do is something that is not available in this world, and what I want to do is to change this world. Originally, I thought that I could sit in Chang'an, but now I understand that Chang'an is not the center of the world, and sooner or later, I will turn Dali into the focus of the world. ”

Yang Miaoling nodded and said: "Xianggong, you must be able to, you Chang'an can't keep you, it's their loss." ”

At this time, Ah Fu suddenly stopped the carriage and said, "Young master, someone has blocked the way." ”

Li Shan was startled, and was thinking about who was blocking the way, when he opened the curtain, he saw two acquaintances, Yun Fei and Yang Han.

Yun Fei hugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Master Li, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Li Shan was pleasantly surprised: "Why are you here?" ”

Yun Fei said: "We are here because you are being hunted down. (To be continued.) )
