Chapter 252: Retreat

Yesterday, two major events occurred in a row, first the Tang Dynasty left minister Chen Xilie's family was killed during the day, and then the Persian temple in Liquanfang was burned to ashes at night, and none of the people inside escaped, these two major events shook the entire Chang'an City, and naturally became the focus of the next day's court meeting.

"The sun is just before the cactus moves, and the cigarette wants to float." , the gorgeous palace is full of purple robes, and Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty, sits on it, his eyes are bloodshot, but he looks refreshed, and there is a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

The ministers are a little unclear, but how dare the emperor speculate, no one would have thought that the Son of Heaven robbed the Persians of five million dollars at night, and this is the time when his heart is full of joy.

The first thing to discuss was the death of Chen Xilie's family, and several ministers of the Ministry of Rites discussed it, and after reporting to Li Longji for approval, Chen Xilie was called Wending, plus Taiwei, which can be regarded as receiving posthumous mourning.

However, the proposal to enjoy the Taimiao was rejected by Li Longji without hesitation. Just kidding, Chen Xilie is the mastermind who colluded with the Persian Temple to assassinate Ma Lu, an An Lushan is worthy of enjoying the Taimiao is enough to make him tired, how can he let another traitor get such an honor now?

Yang Guozhong has a lot of political enemies in the court, and after agreeing on Chen Xilie's nickname, some people couldn't help jumping out and pointed to Chen Xilie's death.

Yang Guozhong stood on top of the main hall, his face turned blue with anger. He is very clear about the discussion in the market, and there are many people who hold such thoughts, but this matter has nothing to do with him, and he really can't say it.

He tried to argue, but the guy who jumped out was so sharp that he almost concluded that he must have done it, and he didn't know how to defend himself in anger.

Yang Guozhong was depressed in his heart, but he heard the Son of Heaven above say with a smile: "Yang Qing is a human being, and I know best. Chen Qing's death will continue to be investigated, but I can guarantee that this matter will never have anything to do with Yang Qing. Chen Qing is gone, the position of the left minister cannot be vacant, Yang Qing, you will pick up a little more burden for me, in addition to the imperial history Zhongcheng, there will be one more left minister. ”

As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar in the court. Yang Guozhong was also taken aback, stunned and didn't know what to do.

Li Longji looked at the ministers condescendingly, with a smug expression. The emperor's mind, where can you guess?

"Yang Xiang, don't thank you yet!"

Someone stabbed Yang Guozhong, and Yang Guozhong reacted and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him. When he stood up again, his eyes were red.

How long has it been since Bian Lingcheng failed to assassinate An Lushan and he was deposed?

The Minister of the Manchu Dynasty looked at Yang Guozhong, and there was envy in his eyes. In the end, Yang Guozhong still paid homage to the prime minister, and sure enough, it was Jian in the emperor's heart, and the concubine's pillow wind was not a joke.

Yang Guozhong used to be the right minister, and soon entered the role after re-ascending the phase, not giving other courtiers time to dwell on Chen Xilie's death, and immediately changed the topic, and said: "Your Majesty, yesterday the Persian Temple in Liquanfang was burned by a fire, this matter is extremely strange, the incident happened in Gyeonggi, I don't know how to deal with it, please show Your Majesty." ”

Li Longji smiled faintly on it: "The Persian royal family has bad intentions, and they have been killed by Ma Renjie in the river, and I have already reached a conclusion with you in this matter, and I think Ma Renjie has done a very good job." The descendants of Balus have been favored by the Tang Dynasty for many generations, and they dare to assassinate my ministers, such ungrateful people are innocent of death! The Persian temple in Liquanfang was built by Balus, and I should have dealt with them when Ma Renjie's recital arrived, and I forgave their sins with kindness. But now the Persian temple is burned by lightning and fire, which is also providential. It is a curse to die in thunder and fire, and it must be something bad that they have done. If it's dead, it's dead, and the Jingzhao Mansion is in peace, and there is no need to track it down. ”

Thunderfire?

The corners of Yang Guozhong's mouth twitched, there was no thunder in Chang'an last night, where did the thunder fire come from?

The ministers looked at each other, all of them looked strange, but they didn't dare to speak.

Dozens of people in the Persian Temple died inside, which is also a big case, everyone knows that this is not a natural disaster, but **. However, the Son of Heaven Chrysostom said that it was the thunder fire that ignited, that is, the thunder fire ignited.

"Your Majesty! When Weichen was asleep last night, he faintly heard thunder. Since it was ignited by thunder and fire, it must have been the death of those Persians by heaven, and such a matter naturally did not need to be investigated by a division. Yang Guozhong was the first to kowtow before the ministers.

The ministers also knelt down and praised the Son of Heaven. Li Longji laughed and immediately announced the dissolution of the dynasty.

The two major events that shocked Chang'an were solved lightly in the court. Yang Guozhong re-ascended to the phase, and after leaving Xingqing Palace, he couldn't help but feel high-spirited for a while.

Chen Xilie died in his family, he thought he was going to be unlucky, but he didn't expect that not only was he not unlucky, but he re-ascended the phase.

The position of the right minister is for Ma Lan, but Ma Lan is far away in the sky after all, and since then, in Chang'an City, he is the only one in his family, and one person is above 10,000 people.

"Yang Xiang, congratulations!" After leaving the palace gate, naturally a group of people came up to make a big fuss. Yang Guozhong laughed, and his heart was extremely useful.

……

There were no impermeable walls, and the news of the court soon spread to the market. The people of Chang'an have been accustomed to figuring out the emperor's mind from these news for many years, and they immediately smelled a different breath from it.

Before Chen Xilie's bones were cold, Yang Guozhong re-ascended to the stage, which was too early. However, Chen Xilie's stroke comments among the people of Chang'an are common, but Yang Guozhong is a great hero who killed An Lushan for the country.

The Persians of the Persian temple died a strange death, but no one thought that the thunder fire that the Son of Heaven had ignited the Persian temple was a joke.

Everyone knows that there was no thunder in Chang'an City last night, and since the Son of Heaven said so, it is clear that those Persians committed some taboos. Then these people died in vain.

It was the Persians who died, not the Tang people, the lives of the Tang people were valuable, and the Persian Hu people died when they died, no big deal. If they hadn't been guilty of some unforgivable sin, how could Your Majesty have taken their lives?

Li Juan was uneasy, and made an exception on this day and did not go to spend time drinking with those literary friends. As soon as Mi Xue entered the door, Li Juan asked, "You took someone to the Persian Temple last night?" Did you burn the Persian Temple? ”

Michelle nodded, her face slightly pale. Li Juan found that her arm was wrapped in a layer of white cloth, and there was blood oozing out of it, and she couldn't help but be startled: "Are you injured?" ”

"It's okay, I can't die." Michelle sat down tiredly, "Give me a jug of wine." ”

"How's it hurting? Let me take a look. Li Juan walked over quickly, wanting to check Mi Xue's injury, but felt a tingling pain in his neck, and hurriedly took two steps back.

Michelle glanced at him coldly and withdrew her thin and dull short knife: "Give me a pot of wine, now!" ”

Li Juan touched his neck, stretched out his hand and saw a trace of blood on it, and he was also afraid for a while. This bearded girl is really too arrogant, but thinking of some rumors told by other Anxi agents, Li Juan also felt that he was a little reckless.

A person who only has his own general in his eyes, where can other men get close?

took out a pot of liquor and put it on the table, and the Xinghu woman drank it all, and her face was a little better.

"Who hurt you? Is it the people from the Persian Temple? Li Juan asked with concern.

The Xinghu woman shook her head lightly: "In the Persian Temple, we lost a few people's hands, but I was not injured. It was someone else who hurt me, and I will definitely avenge this revenge in the future. ”

"Not a wound in the Persian Temple? Who can hurt you with your means? ”

Michelle was silent for a moment and did not answer.

That stab was so terrible that it was impossible to dodge!

Even if she was given ten more chances, she wouldn't be able to dodge the lightning-fast knife in the past!

The black-hearted beautiful woman in Yankang Fang was already so powerful, but she was just a small pawn in the Persian Temple.

The people who were killed by the Anxi spies in the Persian Temple were simply some minions. Those guys who hide inside and refuse to come out must have a master who is even more powerful than the black-hearted woman.

Those people refused to come out, preferring to let the Persian temple be destroyed by fire. I heard that Long Wujun also arrived at the scene later, and the more I thought about it, the more strange I felt.

Originally, they were going to teach the Persian Temple a lesson before leaving, so that they understood that they had offended people who should not be offended, but they obviously underestimated the strength of the Persian Temple.

They were clearly taking advantage of it, and she became a pawn.

She and Anthy's agents killed dozens of people, and dozens of bones were later found in the fire. The corpses did not belong to the Zoroastrian shamans and saints, but to the Persian warriors who were killed.

With the help of her hands, the people of the Persian Temple staged a plan to get rid of the shell of the golden cicada. This play is not for her, but for someone else.

For the Tang Dynasty to see.

Those people didn't care about her at all, they didn't care that she could expose their play at any time.

Ever since she went to Yankang Fang and was stabbed by the black-hearted woman, she understood this.

They had long known that she was coming, and they had long known about the existence of Anxi's secret agent in Chang'an City, but they did not take her and Anxi's secret agent seriously.

They were just using Agent Anthy to play the show with her.

Originally, she thought that she had been hiding in the shadows, but now Michelle has understood that this is just her own fantasy. Agent Anzai has been established for too short a time, and it is much worse than the forces hidden in some shadows. I'm afraid that since the time Anxi's secret agent stepped into Chang'an City, some people have known about it.

"Does it hurt?" Li Juan looked at Mi Xue and said with concern.

Mi Xue shook her head and said in a low voice: "Gather all the secret agents, and I will take them to leave Chang'an City from Anyuan Gate tomorrow." ”

"Leave Chang'an City together?" Li Juan wondered, "Wouldn't that immediately attract attention?" ”

Michelle said in a low voice: "We have been discovered a long time ago, but we don't know it. In that case, why stay here any longer? The sky in the west is high and wide, which is where we come in. ”

“…… All right. Li Juan thought for a moment and nodded.

"The people of the Persian Temple died last night were all shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and their real strength was not damaged. You have to keep that in mind. After we leave Chang'an, you should be careful in your own actions. (To be continued.) )
