At one time, the assassination of Wu Yuanheng and Pei Du shocked and panicked Chang'an; At one point, in order to avoid the dilemma of fighting on two fronts, the prime ministers took a passive response, causing the Assassins to flee Chang'an; At one time, in order to calm things down, the prime ministers not only sacrificed Wu Yuanheng, but also sacrificed Bai Juyi; At one time, Li Chun, the high-ranking son of the Tang Dynasty, also acquiesced in the inaction of the prime ministers, because he did not want to see the overstretched Tang Empire fall into the dilemma of fighting on two fronts.

However, the tree wanted to be quiet and the wind did not stop, and an assassination completely turned Chang'an upside down, the people of Chang'an were panicked, and the officials of Chang'an were also trembling, walking on thin ice. If you don't take any action, Chang'an will be scattered, Datang will be scattered, Li Chun can't sit still, he began to fight back, Wu Yuanji, Wang Chengzong, Li Shidao, you think that a small assassination can turn the situation around, and you can escape the punishment you deserve as you wish, but I want to tell you loudly with my actions, you are wrong, very wrong! You will pay the price for your foolish actions!

Li Chun, who recovered from his grief, made frequent clever moves and quickly stabilized the situation. First of all, he personally issued an edict imposing martial law throughout the city with great fanfare, and searched for Assassins. And swore that those who were robbed would be rewarded, and those who hid thieves would be punished. The departments concerned no longer dared to slack off, and immediately launched a vast carpet search. Up to the double wall of the famous valve, down to the corners, none of them were let go. Li Chun believes that it will not be long before he will make some gains.

Sure enough, soon, he had a harvest. This unlucky guy is called Zhang Yan, and he is Wang Chengzong's subordinate. Before Wu Yuanheng was assassinated, Zhang Yan was ordered by Wang Chengzong to go to Chang'an to dredge Wu Yuanji, but unfortunately hit the muzzle of the gun. After receiving the news, Li Chun smiled, in fact, he knew very well that if the assassin was not from Ziqing, if he was not from Huaixi, he must be from Chengde. At present, the war in Huaixi is in full swing, and Chang'an has no spare strength to start another war for the time being, weighing the pros and cons, Wang Chengzong, who is virtuous, is scheming, and has a deep grudge with Chang'an, and will not dare to openly oppose Chang'an; And Li Shidao of Ziqing is cowardly and impulsive by nature, once he finds out that he is the mastermind behind it, he will definitely jump over the wall in a hurry and raise troops to rebel. Revenge is a small matter, but a major national matter is important. Therefore, Wang Chengzong, no matter what, you are determined to carry this black cauldron. Now, God has fulfilled people's wishes, and it is Wang Chengzong's subordinates who have been caught, so it will save a lot of trouble. Overjoyed, Li Chun immediately assigned Jingzhao Yin Peiwu and the superintendent of the imperial history Chen Zhongshi to torture to extract confessions. But the unlucky Zhang Yan is not a stupid person, he knows his situation very well, once he confesses, he will definitely die. If you grit your teeth and survive the torture, you may still have a chance of life, not to mention that you haven't done it. Unable to get a confession, Li Chun made another strange move and took out three copies of Wang Chengzong's recital, the content of which was to slander and slander Wu Yuanheng's superiors, and then said conclusively that Zhang Yan and others entered Beijing to assassinate him, and he must be the mastermind behind Wang Chengzong. Jingzhao Yin Peiwu and the superintendent of the imperial history Chen Zhongshi are also understandable people, and immediately said that Zhang Yan and others had confessed and should be beheaded according to the law. Zhang Hongjing, who didn't know the trick and wanted to pull Wang Chengzong, thought he was very smart, and persuaded Li Chun to be cautious and not to kill the wrong person. Li Chun smiled slightly, ignored him anymore, and immediately ordered Zhang Yan and the others to be beheaded together, leaving no one behind. At the same time, Li Chun issued an edict with great fanfare to condemn Wang Chengzong's heinous crimes and cut off his tributary qualifications. As for the date of the crusade, we will talk about it later.

Do you say that Wang Chengzong is not wronged, and Zhang Yan is not wronged? Wronged, really wronged! But they are not wronged, they are not good men and women, and there are countless bad things they have done, and they are not wronged when they die!

Secondly, Li Chun ordered the guards to stay in Pei Du's private house and guard them day and night. He also often sent his henchmen and eunuchs to ask for warmth. Some people called for Pei Du's official position to be temporarily removed in order to appease Wang Chengzong and Li Shidao. Li Chun said with an angry face: "If Pei Du is dismissed, the villain is treacherous, what discipline does the imperial court have to speak of?" I use Pei Du alone to break the two thieves. Soon, Pei Du, who had returned from injury, was appointed prime minister by Li Chun to preside over the Huaixi War. The meticulous work lurking in Chang'an brought Li Chun's words and deeds to the three feudal towns, Wang Chengzong thought about it, reluctantly took the black cauldron on his back, and quietly withdrew from the whirlpool of right and wrong in Huaixi; Wu Yuanji had just put down half of his little heart, and it was thumping again; Li Shidao was unwilling to let his terrorist actions end in vain, and began to brew a new conspiracy.

This time, Li Shidao aimed his sinister gaze at Luoyang.

Li Shidao's choice of Luoyang as the location of his terrorist attack was deliberate. First of all, Luoyang is the eastern capital of the Tang Empire, and its status is second only to Chang'an. Secondly, Li Shidao has his own base in Luoyang, he once set up a backyard in the eastern capital of the empire, and military service is endless, and those officials in Luoyang dare not interrogate. Third, today's Luoyang defense is very empty. Because, Wu Yuanji had already hit the vicinity of Luoyang, and most of the defenders of Luoyang were transferred to defend the pass, and the garrison in the city was limited.

Hundreds of outlaws quietly blended into Li Shidao's backyard. They slaughtered pigs and sheep, cheered and drank, and happily planned how to sneak into Luoyang in the next dark night and burn and plunder. As everyone knows, Lu Yuanying, who stayed in Luoyang, has quietly completed the encirclement of the backyard and is preparing to catch turtles in the urn. It turned out that not long after they sneaked into the backyard, someone denounced them, and Lu Yuanying urgently recalled the soldiers stationed in front of him, quietly completed the encirclement, and prepared to annihilate this bandit. But the turtle in the urn sometimes bites, and it hurts, this bandit is too fierce, surrounded by heavily, they just fight a bloody way from the Changxia Gate, escape into the mountains and forests.

In the southwest direction of Luoyang City, there is a deep mountain and old forest, and the people in the mountains are all hunters, reunited with each other, and are called mountain sheds. One of the hunters encountered this gang of outlaws on the way, and all the prey they brought was robbed. After the hunter escaped by chance, he immediately called his friends and pursued them with the local officers and soldiers, and in a vicious fight, he captured several of the thieves.

Unexpectedly, the thief turned out to be a monk who had attained the Tao and had done the Songshan Middle Prison Temple, and his Dharma name was Yuanjing. What's even more shocking is that this so-called senior monk is already over 80 years old, and he really fulfills the old saying, "Good people don't live long, and disasters will last for thousands of years." This 80-year-old scourge is really tough, the soldiers and the people worked together, fought for a long time, killed and injured several people, and finally captured him. What's even more powerful is that in order to prevent him from escaping halfway, the soldier hit him in the calf with a hammer, but he couldn't break it! This old scourge actually opened his old eyes and scolded loudly, "You are waiting for rats, if you want to cut off people's shins, but you can't, do you dare to call yourself a Jian'er?" After saying that, he put his leg on the stone and ordered the soldiers to discount it. The level of bravery is simply jaw-dropping. It seems that although his bones are very hard, they are still not as good as the steel knife, but the last words of this old monk are not shocking: "It's a pity that I mistook a big deal and couldn't make Los Angeles bleed." "I don't know what enmity Luoyang has with you, and what enmity the people of Luoyang have with you, they must want to make their blood flow into a river in order to be satisfied? What an unrepentant old devil.

Lu Yuanying didn't do anything, and wantonly searched for the remnants of the bandits, which made him break out in a cold sweat and get goosebumps all over his body. The number of thieves was far beyond his psychological capacity, and there were thousands of them! What scared him even more was that the two generals under his subordinates, as well as eight post guards, turned out to be a party of thieves and became Li Shidao's eyes and ears. Of course, what shocked him the most was not these, but in the process of repeated interrogations, he discovered a big secret: the wise and martial Tang Emperor killed the wrong person, and the culprit who killed Wu Yuanheng was not Wang Chengzong, but Li Shidao!

In addition to being shocked, Lu Yuanying didn't have time to taste it carefully, so he wrote a book overnight to explain the truth, and asked for immediate conquest of the rebellious Li Shidao. "Lu Yuanying is really a fool!" Li Chun, who received the recital, muttered softly, and quickly thought about countermeasures. The result of Li Chun's hard thinking and meditation was that the assassin sent by Li Shidao was one step late and was taken first by Wang Chengzong, so the culprit who killed Wu Yuanheng was Wang Chengzong, not Li Shidao. Wu Yuanheng's assassination case came to an end like this, but God seemed to like to joke with Li Chun very much, and a few years later, a more powerful evidence appeared, clearly telling Li Chun that Li Shidao was the real culprit behind the murder of Wu Yuanheng, and at that time, how would Li Chun, the son of the Tang Dynasty, face this embarrassment?

By the way, Li Chun has a third magic hand, in fact, it was this magic hand that killed Wu Yuanji. This wonderful hand is actually a person, a person who was unknown at the time, and later went down in history, the son of Li Sheng, a famous general in the Tang Dynasty, Li Yu. No, no, for Wu Yuanji, Li Yu is not so much a person, but an arrow, a cold arrow, a cold arrow that pierced Wu Yuanji's throat.
