Chang'an City, a two-day large-scale search made Chang'an City a chicken, this search was triggered by the killing of Jin Wuwei general Li Gaoqian, Xuanwu Jingwei directly targeted the Zhou Dynasty in Chang'an Intelligence Bureau, thinking that this was the Zhou Dynasty assassination of Li Gaoqian. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although this accusation is a bit far-fetched, Xuanwu Jingwei has issued a gag order before, strictly prohibiting Chang'an Shishu from talking about the current situation, so although Chang'an was tossed into a miasma, no one dared to talk about it publicly.

However, this time the ban order is much milder than the previous suspicion order, Xuanwu Jingwei no longer arrests people indiscriminately, as long as you don't talk about the current situation, basically there will be no matter, and the shopkeepers of each wine shop will repeatedly remind the drinkers not to talk about the current situation, and the store has not been arrested.

However, since Li Gaoqian was killed, the search of the Chang'an Intelligence Bureau in the past two days has begun to have a little atmosphere of high-pressure and terror, and it is already late at night, and teams of soldiers are still searching from house to house, and all young men who have other places in their homes will be taken away for interrogation, and in just two days, thousands of people have been taken away, all of whom are concentrated in the barracks for detailed examination.

It was already very late at night, and the liquor shops finally ended their business for the day and began to close one after another, and in the 'Huashan Ke' liquor store, the bartenders sent off the last guest, hung up the closed sign, and dozens of bartenders were busy cleaning the restaurant.

The shopkeeper Lu Ping sat on the counter, quite worried, the wine shop is just his cover, they are the headquarters of the Chang'an Intelligence Bureau, Lu Ping received an urgent order from Zhongdu today, ordering him to report the details of Li Yuanji's palace coup at any time, he is also actively searching for information today, a palace, a Chu palace, these two places are the largest sources of intelligence.

But until now, he had not received further information, and at this time, a bartender ran up to him and whispered, "General, someone is coming through the back door." ”

"Take Him to ......"

Before Lu Ping finished speaking, he saw a group of soldiers outside walking towards him, and he hurriedly said to the bartender: "Take him to the secret room and hide him quickly." ”

The bartender sped away, and after a moment, 'Bang! The door of the liquor store was pushed open, and a team of Xuanwu Jingwei soldiers came in, and a bartender hurriedly stepped forward, "Ladies and gentlemen, the shop is closed!" ”

The first lieutenant pushed him away and shouted, "Ordered to search!" Where is your shopkeeper? ”

Lu Ping stepped forward unhurriedly, clasped his fists and saluted: "Below is the shopkeeper Lu Tong, may I ask what the military masters are doing?" ”

"I just said, I was ordered to search!"

"But this is the wine shop opened by the King of Huaiyang, that is, the supernatural general, and even his wine shop has to be searched?"

"There is an order from above, no matter whose store it is, it must be searched, we know that this is General Li's liquor store, so I politely tell you, please cooperate with us in performing official duties."

Lu Ping turned back to the bartender and ordered: "Let everyone gather in the lobby immediately, the military masters are going to search." ”

A few bartenders walked away quickly, and Lu Ping smiled at the first lieutenant: "Soldiers, please sit down for a while, and I can gather the people." ”

After a while, dozens of bartenders and cooks gathered in the lobby, and the captain waved his hand, "Search!" ”

More than a dozen Xuanwu Jingwei soldiers rushed upstairs and in the backyard, but the captain was looking at the bartenders one by one, and he turned around and said, "Shopkeeper Lu, many of your bartenders here don't seem to be locals!" ”

"Although they are not from this city, they are all from Guanzhong, they are not just here, everyone has been in Chang'an for at least two years."

Saying that, Lu Ping quickly stuffed a piece of gold into the captain's hand, the captain checked it, at least ten taels, he was not polite, he directly put it into his arms, and said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that the shopkeeper Lu will be a man, and when I see it today, it is really good, but I don't want to embarrass the shopkeeper Lu, but the regulations above, not all young men from other places in Chang'an City will be arrested, so I advise the shopkeeper Lu, they don't go home tonight, stay in the wine shop!" It's not safe on the road. ”

"Thanks to the general for reminding me, I know what to do."

At this time, more than a dozen soldiers came back and reported: "Captain Qiyu, there is nothing abnormal. ”

"Put a note and go!"

Two soldiers posted a 'checked' note on the gate, and a group of soldiers followed the lieutenant away.

Lu Ping immediately asked his subordinates to lock the door, and walked into the backyard quickly, he pushed open a door with an oil lamp, the room was dark, full of all kinds of sundries, Lu Ping went all the way to the innermost, there was a large cabinet full of tatters in the innermost, he groped under his feet, flipped a switch, and with a slight push, the big cabinet slid to the side, revealing a door on the wall, he pushed the door open, and there was a secret room inside, at this time the secret room was brightly lit, and a man in black was sitting, and it was Zhao Dezhong, the chief eunuch of the imperial study.

Although Zhao Dezhong was bribed by Li Yuanji, he was also the informant of the Chang'an Intelligence Agency in Taiji Palace.

But these days he is no longer shy about it, even if he is given a hundred guts, he will not dare to betray the Chang'an Intelligence Agency, the situation has reached this time, and it is too late for him to talk to the Intelligence Agency.

Zhao Dezhong rested today, and he specially went out of the palace to report important information to Lu Ping, but he was unlucky, and he happened to meet the patrol soldiers who came to search.

Zhao Dezhong saw Lu Ping coming in, and quickly stood up, Lu Ping waved his hand and smiled: "Father-in-law Zhao doesn't have to be nervous, the person has already left, please take a seat!" ”

Zhao Dezhong sat down and said: "I didn't expect that Li Yuanji wouldn't even give Li Shentong face, and even his wine shop would be searched." ”

"This is normal, Li Shentong is no longer in Chang'an, Li Yuanji doesn't want to buy his account, in line with Li Yuanji's consistent style, but it doesn't make sense to say this now, Zhao Gonggong should talk about the information!"

"The Son of Heaven is sick today."

"Why?"

Zhao Dezhong smiled bitterly and said: "Last night, Tianzi stayed in Concubine Yin De's dormitory at night, accidentally caught a cold, and overindulged, and his body couldn't stand it, so I didn't come to the imperial study today, so I didn't have anything to do." ”

Lu Ping's reaction was extremely keen, he thought about it, and secretly screamed that it was not good, this must be deliberately making Li Yuan feel sick and creating an opportunity for the imperial doctor.

"Has the Imperial Doctor been here?"

"Of course I've been here, and when I heard it, it was determined that it was a cold, so I could take care of it, and I also prescribed a few pairs of medicines."

Lu Ping took a few steps with his hands in his hands, and sneered again: "Is it that at night, the Son of Heaven's condition has worsened again?" ”

"Exactly! Before I came out, I heard that I had urgently gone to the imperial doctor again, and it seemed that the saint's condition had worsened. ”

Lu Ping basically understood Li Yuanji's routine of this palace coup, although it was a bit inferior, but it was indeed very effective, Fang Junshi said that Cui Wenxiang was an extremely cunning and vicious person, and he was not wrong at all, if there was no plan from this person, Li Yuanji would not dare to think about seizing the heir even if he dreamed.

Lu Ping smiled faintly: "It seems that Gonggong Zhao is going to go to the Chu Palace." ”

"Exactly! If the general has any arrangements, I can also carry them out. ”

The Son of Heaven's will to Lu Ping was to try his best to promote the success of Li Yuanji's coup, but except for the last proverb and Ruizhao, he really didn't know where to start, but he could use Zhao Dezhong's mouth to remind Li Yuanji, so as not to make mistakes in his busyness.

Lu Ping pondered for a moment, and then said to Zhao Dezhong: "You tell Li Yuanji that he is most afraid of the benevolence of women in the matter of seizing imperial power, and since he has done it, he must do it to the end, but he must also pay attention to the rhythm, first as the regent, and immediately ascend the throne as the emperor after getting Li Shentong's allegiance, and let the Son of Heaven abdicate as the emperor on the grounds of serious illness, he does not expect the king of Qin to admit that once the raw rice is cooked and matured, the hundred officials and the army have no choice." ”

"I understand what the general means, I'll go to the Chu Palace!"

[Found a mistake, Li Shentong's general Shi Wanbao Lao Gao has already written that he died in Hedong City, so the person who appeared at the post station to arrest Li Jiancheng should be Shi Wanbao's younger brother Shi Wance, correct it. 】
