readx; Early in the morning, Gao Lishi came back from the palace, he was on duty last night, almost all night without sleeping, Gao Lishi is old, he is no longer as energetic as when he was young, he is exhausted by sleepless nights, but when he returns to the house, he still immediately comes to Li Qing'an. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Shichiro, you know what? The saint intended to let King Di go to Anxi to take up his post. ”

"King Di!" Li Qingan's brows furrowed, how could it be him?

Although it was a private chat between Li Longji and Li Linfu, it spread throughout the government and the opposition through some side roads yesterday afternoon, but who to send to Anxi has not yet been determined, and there are many discussions among the princes, in fact, no one wants to go to Anxi, which will stay away from the power center of the Tang Dynasty, especially when the position of the East Palace has not yet been clarified, whether it is contentious or not, almost every prince has a glimmer of hope for that position.

Of course, as a stakeholder in this decision-making, it is impossible for Li Qingan not to care, last night in Li Linfu's house, he did not show shock or disdain, it was just a gesture he made, in fact, he attached more importance to this matter than anyone else, Li Longji decided to expand the strength of Anxi, which is good news, but sending the prince to sit in Anxi to prevent the local festival from making it bigger, this is also unfavorable news, how to maximize the good news, and minimize the negative side, this is something he Li Qingan needs to consider, He also has his own candidate, but this candidate is not King Di, this King Di is too close to Yang Guozhong, and he is also shrewd, and it will be unfavorable to him in Anxi.

"Gao Weng, is this the final decision of the Holy One?"

"It's not finalized, but if there is no accident, it should be him, recently he has behaved a little too much in the battle for the heir, which makes the saint extremely disgusted, and many courtiers think that he entered the East Palace, and they all secretly wrote a letter of allegiance to him, so the saint decided to let him go to Anxi, in order to eliminate his hope of being a prince."

"What does Gao Weng mean is that the Holy Lord already knows that the assassination is fake?" Li Qingan asked.

Gao Lishi smiled, "Didn't you reveal the truth yesterday?" Could he not know? He was still angry with Yang Guozhong last night, and I guess Ling Hufei will be unlucky. ”

Li Qing'an thought for a while, and he immediately asked: "Will King Di go to Anxi, is it Yang Guozhong's suggestion?" ”

Gao Lishi thought about it and said: "There is this possibility, and the decision to go to Anxi was made after Yang Guozhong was reprimanded, and it is said that Yang Guozhong also complained a lot of bitterness, and it is estimated that there is this suggestion." ”

Speaking of this, Gao Lishi smiled bitterly and said: "You also know that he has not allowed me to be by my side for this kind of thing, so I have only heard about it." ”

Li Qing'an saluted him and said, "Thank you Gao Weng for telling me, and I still have something I want to ask Gao Weng for help." ”

"Tell me, as long as I can, I will definitely help you."

Li Qingan hesitated for a moment and said: "I want to meet with the noble concubine, I have something to ask her, can I ask Gao Weng to arrange it for me." ”

"This...."

Gao Lishi was a little embarrassed: "When the minister and the concubine Niangniang meet, they must get the permission of the saint, I am not as good as before, I may not be able to help you with this favor." ”

"Nope! Gao Weng misunderstood, I just asked Gao Weng to send a message to Niangniang for me, if she is willing to see me, she will go to talk to the saint, no need to embarrass Gao Weng. ”

"That's fine, but..."

Speaking of which, Gao Lishi glanced at Li Qingan with some vigilance and asked, "What are you going to do with your mother?" ”

Although Gao Lishi has a good personal relationship with Li Qing'an and has helped him a lot, these have a premise, that is, they cannot harm the interests of the saint, he is a person with a strong principled surname, although he has been snubbed by Li Longji because of the prince's affairs in recent years, but this snub cannot change his loyalty to Li Longji, Li Qingan is also very clear about this, so the conversation between him and Gao Lishi is limited to a range, for example, King Di went to Anxi, Gao Lishi only told him the result, Li Qingan only asked whether it was a foregone conclusion, as for whether it could be changed and how to change it, Gao Lishi did not say, and Li Qingan did not ask.

And Li Qingan wants to see Yang Guifei, this is also a more sensitive topic, Gao Lishi knows better than anyone else about Li Longji's physical condition now, Li Longji is beyond his strength in some aspects, Li Qingan wants to get close to Yang Guifei, will it cause any uproar, for example, a few years ago Li Qingan taught Yang Guifei to throw a pot, there were some indecent actions, and some eunuchs had complained to him, although Li Longji didn't care at that time, it didn't mean that he didn't care all the time, so Gao Lishi was full of vigilance about Li Qing'an's request.

Li Qing'an saw his uneasiness from Gao Lishi's puzzled eyes, so he hurriedly explained: "Gao Weng, please don't misunderstand, I want to ask the concubine for help, it's about me wanting to take Mingyue to Anxi." ”

"So that's it!"

Gao Lishi's heart fell, in fact, he understood what Li Qing'an meant, he also heard some rumors, there are rumors in the palace that the saint has been thinking about it since the last time he saw Dugu Mingyue at the concubine's birthday banquet, if the rumors are true, this is really a big problem, sometimes the saint is confused, and what he does is simply unbelievable, maybe he will make a big mistake in this.

"Alright! Two days later, when I enter the palace, I have the opportunity to tell my mother to see if she can see you, if not, I will convey your request to her, do you think this is good? ”

"Thank you Gao Weng, Qing'an doesn't dare to delay Gao Weng's rest any longer, Gao Weng, please go and rest!"

"I'm really going to get some sleep, I'm really tired."

Gao Lishi smiled and stretched, then got up and left, as soon as Gao Lishi left, Li Qingan immediately found a personal soldier, whispered a few words to him, and said: "Please invite him to Atamiju, I want to see him immediately." ”

The soldiers left, and Li Qingan cleaned up a little, so he said to the left and right: "Let's go!" Go to Atami. ”

．．．．．． Generally speaking, the time for each section envoy to go to Beijing to report on their work is relatively long, about one to two months, and some even longer, there is no doubt that the real purpose of their entry into Beijing is not to report on their work, but to coordinate the relationship with the imperial court, and to strive for more resources for themselves in the coming year is their most important thing, so each section of the envoy will have his own agency in the capital, and appoint henchmen to be stationed in the capital to collect intelligence for them and make connections. But this does not mean that he does not have a liaison office, before he established a real agency, there were also two places with this kind of liaison function in the capital, one public and one private, and the public place was the Anxi Jinjuyuan, a few years ago he had a conflict here with An Qingxu, the son of An Lushan, the Jinjuyuan was responsible for receiving Anxi officials who came to Beijing to do business, transmitting miscellaneous reports, and some miscellaneous matters, such as contacting military families, etc., it belongs to a kind of open, government-run liaison department.

And Li Qing'an's private liaison office is Atamiju, which is actually the secret contact location of the Han and Tang Dynasties, which was temporarily used by Li Qing'an as his private intelligence agency, and he has been here three times since he entered Beijing.

As soon as he arrived at Atamiju, Chang Jin greeted him and reported to Li Qing'an in a low voice: "General, last night, there was new information sent from the Diwang Mansion. ”

"Hmmm! Let's go inside. ”

After walking a few steps, Li Qingan turned around and said, "Someone will come here to look for me later, and take him directly to the backyard, his surname is Yan, the Yan of the King of Hades." ”

Chang Jin hurriedly arranged, and followed Li Qing'an to the backyard, Atami Ju is a three-story building, as a wine store, its shop area is not large, covering an area of five or six acres at most, but its overall area is amazing, behind the small wine shop, it bought two houses, all the way to the back of a street, covering an area of more than 80 acres, behind the wine shop is a mysterious room, you need to enter from some special rooms, its concealment, even the guys and orchids in the wine shop do not know, The doors and windows of these rooms have been closed for many years, and no one knows what is inside?

Li Qing'an entered a mysterious courtyard, this is the place where the Han and Tang Societies usually meet, and this is also the intelligence sorting office of the Han and Tang Societies, the intelligence sent from all over the Tang Dynasty will be concentrated here, classified, and then summarized, select its essence and send it to the broken leaves, for a hundred years, it has been like this, Li Qing'an did not know much about the Han and Tang Societies before becoming the new master of the hidden dragon, only knew that they used business as a cover, and carried out activities in various parts of the Tang Dynasty, collecting intelligence from all over the world, and developing members.

It wasn't until he took control of the power that he knew that what he saw in the past was only the tip of the iceberg, the Han and Tang Dynasties would run the most profitable businesses everywhere, and there were huge profits every year, where did these profits go? Except for a very small part of the broken leaves, most of the others are left in the local area, used to develop members, buy land, help the orphaned and elderly, open schools and make friends with the government, lay the foundation for the Han and Tang Societies, establish contacts, and the members they develop are elites from all walks of life, there are more than 10,000 people, literati, officials, soldiers, handicraftsmen, etc., some members are even generations, it is their effective bribery of local officials, as well as low-key and concealed style, so that the Han and Tang Societies have always been able to survive in the interior of the Tang Dynasty, And the core of the Han and Tang Societies, the Hidden Dragon Society, is the top secret among the top secrets, plus Li Qing'an, a total of only twenty-seven people know.

Li Qingan walked into the room and sat down, and as soon as he entered the room, he asked, "Mrs. Luo, have they found it?" ”

The sudden disappearance of Mrs. Luo and the former young master Li Jue shook the Hidden Dragon Society, they all knew the secrets of the Hidden Dragon Society, and their disappearance brought a threat to the survival of the Hidden Dragon Society, and also threatened Li Qing'an's safety, the Hidden Dragon Society used the Han and Tang Dynasty to search for their whereabouts, and Li Qing'an also used the power of the government and the army to search for them all over Anxi and Beiting, but their whereabouts are still unknown.

Chang Jin sighed and said: "We searched everywhere, but there is still no whereabouts of them, and we suspect that they did not return to the Tang Dynasty and went to the Sogdian countries. ”

"Impossible!"

Li Qingan categorically denied it, "Jinman County has their transit records, and they must have returned to Datang." ”

He suddenly glanced at Chang Jin suspiciously, "It can't be that you are deliberately hiding something from me!" ”

Chang Jin hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The general has wronged me, how can I hide such a major matter, who knows that this is related to the safety of the Hidden Dragon Society, and no one will take care of their personal feelings and not report it." ”

"Oh well! Keep searching, be sure to find them, and send them back to Broken Leaf as soon as possible. ”

Li Qingan took a sip of tea, then returned to the topic, and said, "Didn't you say that there is new information about the Di Wangfu?" Tell me, what's going on? ”

"That's right, that Sun Ruren went to that small courtyard for the second time last night, and our people bribed the witch's maid with a lot of money today, and they have already found out Sun Ruren's intentions."

"Really? What is she doing in that little courtyard? ”

"He went to that small courtyard to ask for a son, but..."

"But what?"

Li Qing'an's eyes were looking at Chang Jin urgently, and he ordered Chang Jin to send someone to monitor King Di, originally to expose the fake assassin case, and soon, the people of the Han and Tang Dynasties found that King Di's favorite concubine always went to a small courtyard alone, because the fake assassination case of King Di had been exposed, Li Qing'an no longer cared about this matter, but this morning Gao Lishi told him that King Di would go to Anxi to sit in town, and Li Qing'an immediately realized the importance of this information.

Chang Jin didn't expect Li Qing'an to pay so much attention to it, he was startled, and hurriedly said, "But she asked the witch for charm last night." ”

"As I expected!" Li Qingan muttered to himself.

At this time, someone at the door announced, "The proprietor, the man surnamed Yan is here." ”

Chang Jin hurriedly glanced at Li Qing'an, Li Qing'an nodded, and Chang Jin ordered: "Bring him in!" ”

After a while, one of Chang Jin's subordinates hurriedly walked in with Yan Kai, since Li Li recommended Yan Kai to Li Qing'an, they had met and talked very happily, but Li Qing'an did not express his position on Yan Kai's willingness to take refuge, he needed to take another look at this person's sincerity, he specially sent someone to inquire about it, and the information he got was that King Qing had not seen this person for nearly half a year, Yan Kai had nothing to do, and he thought about it quietly, since it was Li Li who recommended it to himself, there should be no problem.

"Yan Kai see the general!"

Yan Kai bowed deeply to Li Qing'an, to be able to meet the Ming Lord, give full play to his strengths, in order to realize the ambition of Anbang and rule the world, this is the dream of every Tang literati, Yan Kai is no exception, he has been a staff member for King Qing for eight years, and now he is nearly forty years old, but he still has achieved nothing, King Qing's stupidity and self-righteousness disappointed him, and King Qing's fall made him even more desperate.

The bird chooses a good tree to perch, he has the idea of rejoining the Ming Lord, just when he is about to vote for a new master, Li Li recommended him to Li Qing'an, Yan Kai and Li Qing'an have been dealing with each other for a long time, he never thought that he would one day become Li Qing'an's staff, after a long talk with Li Qing'an the day before yesterday, he suddenly realized that Li Qing'an is the Ming Lord that he has dreamed of all these years, young and promising and in a high position, and he controls a wide area, and there is a vast land for him to use.

Yan Kai was extremely nervous in his heart, he had never been so eager to serve a person as he was today, the last time Li Qingan didn't give him a clear answer, would he give him hope today?

Li Qing'an saw the nervousness in his heart, this Yan Kai is not bad, judging from his previous experience in dealing with this person, this person is as careful as a hair, and he is good at finding problems from the details, such as the last Yangzhou Du Bosheng case, this Du Bosheng was able to deduce from the chaotic clues that King Qing's gold was obtained by himself, and it can be seen from this that he is not simple.

But he also found that this person's fame and fortune are too heavy, compared with Yan Zhuang, he lacks a kind of righteousness, to put it bluntly, he can share hardships with wealth and nobility, Li Qingan didn't want to reuse this person, but now that he has changed his mind, Yan Kai will be of great use in his plan.

Li Qingan smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Sir, please take a seat!" ”

He gave Chang Jin another look, Chang Jin understood, and retreated, Yan Kai sat down nervously, and a maid came in and offered him tea.

"Mr. Yan, please have tea."

"Thank you!" Yan Kai nervously picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea slowly.

Li Qingan said with a smile: "Last time, Mr. told me that the mastermind of the assassination in Weishi County was King Di, and I asked Mr. to go back and ask for details again, I don't know if there has been progress?" ”

Yan Kai hurriedly said: "I talked to Luo Xiancheng about this matter again yesterday, and I learned some more information, I don't know what kind of situation you want to know?" ”

"I want proof!" Li Qingan said: "I want to know if there is any evidence that the two monsters of Jinzhou were taken away from prison by King Di's people." ”

Yan Kai knew that this was the exam question given to him by Li Qing'an, and he really worked this matter, so he hurriedly got up and said: "Back to the envoy, when Han Baiyan, a staff member of King Di, went to the prison to pick up people, he once left a receipt, and the receipt had his handwriting on it, and then compared with his current handwriting, the truth should be determined." ”

"What about this note? Did you get it out? ”

Yan Kai said with some regret: "After King Di killed the two monsters of Jinzhou, he sent people to Wannian County Prison to destroy all the materials of the two thieves, so Luo Xiancheng said that he had no more. ”

"And where's the left?" Li Qingan could hear that there was still room in his tone.

"Report to the envoy, Chang'an County may still have it!"

"Chang'an County?"

"Yes! Luo Xiancheng said that the two monsters of Jinzhou also committed crimes in Chang'an County, and soon after the two thieves were bought by Han Baiyan, the Chang'an County Ya also came to interrogate the two thieves for a case, because the people were gone, Chang'an County borrowed the materials of the two thieves, and later returned some of the materials missing, Luo Xiancheng said that he remembered very well at the time, and he personally put the receipt of Han Baiyan into the file, because this is the evidence, but when Chang'an County came back, this receipt was gone, so he deduced that this receipt should still be in Chang'an County. ”

"I see!"

Li Qing'an walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and he suddenly smiled: "Does King Qing know about this?" ”

Yan Kai shook his head and said, "I only told the little prince about this matter, because there is no evidence, so I haven't told King Qing yet." ”

Li Qingan walked to the door, looking at a peach tree in the yard, the peach tree was already full of buds and full of life, he glanced back at Yan Kai, and said with a slight smile: "Is Mr. willing to do things for me?" ”

Yan Kai was overjoyed, Li Qingan finally agreed, he hurriedly stepped forward and gave a deep salute, "I am willing to serve the envoy!" ”

"Sir, please be seated! Have a seat! ”

The two sat down again, and at this time, the relationship between the two immediately became much closer, and Li Qingan no longer hid it from him, and said: "I got the news today, the Holy Lord plans to let King Di go to Anxi to sit in town, but I don't like this person, I want to change the prince, can Mr. guess who it is?" ”

Yan Kai's heart moved slightly, and he blurted out: "King Qing! ”

"Clever!" Li Qingan applauded lightly and smiled: "Sir is really smart, if there must be a prince sitting in Anxi, then King Qing is my best candidate, so I hope Mr. will continue to stay by King Qing's side, Mr. understand?" ”

Yan Kai suddenly realized, it turned out that Li Qing'an wanted to let himself stay by King Qing's side as an internal response, so that he would not be afraid of King Qing in Anxi, this strategy is clever!

"But what method did the envoy use to make the saint change?"

"Don't worry, let's take it one step at a time!"

Li Qing'an approached him and said in a low voice: "The first step, you have to convince King Qing that the real culprit behind the assassination of me back then was King Di, and it was King Di who planted it for him, so that he had no hope of entering the East Palace, as for the piece of paper evidence you said, I will get it for you." ”

．．．．．． Since betraying Yang Guozhong and sending someone to send a letter to Xing Wei privately, Cui Guangyuan, the commander of Chang'an County, has been in a state of anxiety, although his wife persuaded him to emphasize righteousness over fame and fortune, but at this point, Cui Guangyuan is a little difficult to put down his official position.

Chang'an County Commander is a six-rank official, he has worked hard for many years to get this official position, if he loses it like this, how can he not feel distressed? Although he didn't regret helping Xing Wei, he was worried that he would be retaliated against, his heart was full of contradictions, and the only hope was that Yang Guozhong didn't find out that he sent the letter.

For two whole days, Cui Guangyuan was uneasy, but this morning, what he was most worried about happened, he got the news that he had been on Yang Guozhong's blacklist, and Yang Guozhong's red and black lists have long been an open secret of Chang'an officialdom, and anyone who does not like him, offends him or is not a Yang Party will be on his blacklist, on the contrary, those who are good at sycophants and obedient people will be on the red list, and then in April of the following year, they will be unified and settled, and whether they should be promoted or degraded will be decided by his two lists.

Cui Guangyuan is both Yang Dang and his old friend, so it stands to reason that he should be on the red list, but yesterday he was on the blacklist, and Cui Guangyuan knew that he must have been discovered by Yang Guozhong.

Cui Guangyuan was in a particularly depressed mood, today he was going to open a court trial, but now he is not in the mood, he locked himself in the court room in a daze, he has been sitting for two hours, his mind is blank, worried about his future, in fact, he still has a way, that is, to go to Wang Heng, he helped Xing Xuan, isn't he helping Wang Heng in the end? But where is Xing Wei now, and will he still show up?

Cui Guangyuan let out a long sigh, he finally figured it out a little, since he had already done it, then don't regret it.

At this time, a government official came to report outside the door: "Cui County Order, Anxi Jiedu has made General Li come to visit." ”

Cui Guangyuan was stunned, "Who?" ”

"Li Qing'an!"

Cui Guangyuan: 'Ah! With a slam, he hurriedly said, "Hurry up, please, no!" I'm going to greet it myself! ”
