Chapter 0437 - It's Hard to Tell the Truth from the False

"Is Leon really the opposite?" Yang Shenjin stared at Guo Yunzhen with a solemn expression and asked, this question is a prerequisite for all problems, if Li Ang is really the opposite, then the so-called investigation will not be necessary. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Seeing that Guo Yunzhen was a little hesitant, Yang Shenjin reminded again: "Judge Guo, the stakes are very high, your answer is directly related to your net worth and life, if you lie or conceal it, the court will definitely hold you accountable in the future, you can think about it." ”

Guo Yunzhen breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Yang Zhongcheng, this matter is difficult to explain, judging from some behaviors, Li Ang Li Dafu is indeed no different from rebellion, for example, he suddenly highlighted Shanzhou overnight, occupied Kuozhou, and competed with the Jiedu Embassy;

But so far, Li Ang has not raised an anti-flag, let alone any anti-Tang slogans or remarks; On the contrary, he insisted that Ambassador Geshu had fornicated with Tibet, saying that Ambassador Geshu was the real betrayal of the Tang Dynasty;

But neither of them came up with solid and powerful evidence, and we and other subordinates were also confused, which was right and which was wrong, it was difficult to distinguish for a while, and the subordinate could only tell Yang Zhongcheng what he knew truthfully, and Yang Zhongcheng would judge. ”

Yang Shen frowned, bowed his head and said, "Judge Guo, please speak." ”

"Yang Zhongcheng, this matter has to start from the arrival of Ambassador Geshu, objectively speaking, Ambassador Geshu's credit is indeed not as good as Dr. Li, because everyone felt at that time that Ambassador Geshu would be Dr. Li's top boss, Dr. Li must not be convinced, and the two may inevitably have a battle between the open;

But surprisingly, after the arrival of Ambassador Geshu, the expected open and secret struggle did not occur immediately, Dr. Li rarely asked about military and political affairs during that time, everything was decided by Ambassador Geshu, and the two were at peace for a long time, until the Tubo faction sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, and Ambassador Geshu asked Dr. Li to be in charge of receiving ......."

Guo Yunzhen recounted the dispute between Li Ang and Ge Shuhan in its original form, and after Yang Shenjin listened, he did not make any statement, he asked Guo Yunzhen to withdraw first, and then called Ren Pingyin, the envoy Lang Ming, the secretary Fei Guanqing and others to ask separately.

Although there are some differences in the results obtained by Yang Shenjin from each population due to the different positions and narrative methods of each person, there is not much difference in the whole.

After asking a few people, Yang Shenjin was even more embarrassed, in his opinion, it was of course wrong for Li Ang to use Tubo to make a pig cage, but Ge Shuhan's dignified ambassador of Jiedu actually drew a sword against each other for this reason, which was also wrong; The next thing is that the public says that the public is reasonable, the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, Li Ang said that Ge Shuhan fornicated with Tibet, and Ge Shuhan said that Li Ang rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, and each insisted on his own words.

If Ge Shuhan really had an affair with Tibet, then Li Ang's series of actions were not only not betraying the Tang Dynasty, but on the contrary, defending the Tang Dynasty and preventing Ge Shuhan from giving the entire Longyou to Tibet.

If Li Ang really rebelled, it was only natural for Ge Shuhan to transfer troops to quell the rebellion.

In the end, it still came back to those two old questions: Is Li Ang anti-Tang? Did Ge Shuhan have any fornication with Tibet?

It is not easy to directly investigate Brother Shuhan or Li Ang, Yang Shenjin feels like he is shrouded in a dense cloud, unable to see the direction clearly, and if he is not careful, he is likely to even have to take his own life on Longyou.

Therefore, it is necessary to slowly peel off the cocoon. This takes time, but what Yang Shen lacks is precisely time, in comparison, Li Linfu in Chang'an City makes him even more restless!

In order to sort out the truth as soon as possible, Yang Shenjin decided to take a risk and personally went to Li Ang to testify, if Li Ang really betrayed the Tang Dynasty, even if he died, he would only die and would not affect his family; If he hadn't returned to Beijing as soon as possible and let Li Linfu take advantage of the loophole, then not only would he have suffered, but he would definitely have been involved.

The lesser of two evils, so Yang Shenjin decided to take the risk of going to Li Ang, if Li Ang did not oppose Tang, then he could ask Li Ang to return to Beijing with him;

Once Li Ang agrees, the rest is Ge Shuhan's problem, and he will also ask Ge Shuhan to return to Beijing with him and have a royal confrontation with Li Ang.

"What? Yang Zhongcheng is going to Stone Castle? No way! ”

As soon as Yang Shenjin proposed to Ge Shuhan that he wanted to see Li Ang, he was immediately strongly opposed by Ge Shuhan.

He said with a serious face: "Li Ang has rebelled, this is a fact, Yang Zhongcheng is an important minister of the court, for the sake of your safety, this envoy must not watch Yang Zhongcheng drill into the tiger's mouth." Yang Zhongcheng wants to see Li Ang, but he can wait in Shanzhou, and when the envoy quells the rebellion and escorts Li Ang back to Shanzhou, Yang Zhongcheng will not worry about not seeing him! ”

Yang Shenjin seemed to have been prepared for Ge Shuhan's reaction, he flicked his official sleeve lightly, and said calmly: "As far as this official knows, although Ambassador Geshu believes that Li Ang has rebelled, Li Ang has not raised the anti-Tang banner so far, and what he wants to oppose is Ambassador Geshu, because he thinks that Ambassador Geshu has fornicated with Tibet.

In this case, the official is gone, what can he do with the official? If he really killed his own official, wouldn't it be tantamount to admitting the fact that he betrayed Datang? Therefore, there will be no danger if this official goes to meet Li Ang. If Ambassador Goshu insists on opposing it, it will make people feel that Ambassador Goshu is weak-hearted. ”

"Am I weak? My brother Shuhan is doing right and standing upright, how can he say that he is empty-hearted, it is ridiculous! ”

"Since his heart is not empty, Ambassador Geshu should not stop this official from going to see Li Ang!"

"No way!" Ge Shuhan said categorically again, "As the ambassador of Longyou Jiedu, I must be responsible for Yang Zhongcheng's safety, Yang Zhongcheng can not believe that Li Ang has rebelled, but it is not possible to go to see him alone, Yang Zhongcheng will understand the envoy's kindness in the future." ”

In the face of Ge Shuhan's tough attitude, Yang Shenjin maintained a rather calm attitude, and he said indifferently: "This official is under the holy order, not only is he not subject to the control of Ambassador Geshu, but also has the right to dismiss the officials of Longyou on the spot, including Ambassador Geshu. ”

Ge Shuhan replied without backing: "Before Yang Zhongcheng is not dismissed from his position as envoy, please also ask Yang Zhongcheng to stay in Shanzhou!" ”

"You!" Yang Shenjin finally lost his patience and said to Ge Shuhan in a cold voice, "It seems that Ambassador Geshu is really going to force this official to make this decision. ”

Ge Shuhan looked at Yang Shenjin fixedly, clenched his fists, and said after a while: "Yang Zhongcheng wants to see Li Ang, but it's not okay, the envoy will send troops to the stone fort, and Yang Zhongcheng can go with the envoy." If Yang Zhongcheng insisted on going to see Li Ang alone, then Yang Zhongcheng would better dismiss the envoy first. ”

Yang Shenjin does have the power to remove Ge Shuhan from his official position, but this power cannot be used at will, in case Li Ang's rebellion is true, at this time, the removal of Ge Shuhan, Longyou Qunlong has no leader, which is equivalent to doing Li Ang a great favor, and the consequences are unimaginable.

With this concern, after Ge Shuhan took a step back, Yang Shenjin had no choice but to get off the donkey down the slope and agreed to Ge Shuhan's proposal.

Besides, Li Guangbi was ordered to lead five hundred elite horsemen to intercept Li Ang, and as soon as he was halfway there, a heavy wind and snow began to fall, and the cold wind mixed with large snowflakes whistled in his face, and it was difficult to see the scenery a few feet away;

In this case, if the march continues, the men and horses will be half tired and will not be able to drive a few miles, and the soldiers will not be tired and frozen to death, but they will inevitably complain, and it is easy to get lost.

In desperation, Li Guangbi had to find a leeward place for everyone to stop and rest.

Li Ang was not far from the stone castle at this time, Hua Qiu sent a carriage and horses to meet him after receiving the report, and Li Ang and they rushed in the wind and snow and arrived at the stone castle safely.

In the past, the iron-blooded mountain has been covered by snow at this moment, and only a few hundred people can be stationed on the large and small square platforms, most of the soldiers and horses of the Zhenwu Army are stationed in Dingrong City on the north bank of the Yaoshui River, Dingrong City and Shibao face each other across the river, seven miles away, once Shibao is attacked, Dingrong City can increase troops at any time to support.

There are 1,500 people in the Zhenwu army, most of them are soldiers, and since Hua Qiu became a military envoy, he has never relaxed the training of soldiers, so when Li Ang entered the city, he saw that the soldiers at the head of the city were standing tall and not shrinking even in the wind and snow, and he couldn't help but praise again and again!

Hua Qiu, who accompanied him into the city, couldn't help but ask, "What the hell is going on?" Did Ge Shuhan really fornicate with Tibet? If so, what are you waiting for? Immediately recruit the brothers and destroy him! How can such a scourge be kept? ”

"What you, yours, do you know how to write the word politeness? This official is now a doctor of Yinqing Guanglu, a big official from the third grade, do you know? ”

Li Ang's words caused Wu Xuan, Nie Feng and the others to laugh. Hua Qiu pursed his lips and said: "It's okay if you don't mention this stubble, it's okay if you mention the brothers, according to the merit, a Yinqing Guanglu doctor is a ......."

"Shut up!" Seeing that the more he talked, the more unorthodox he became, Li Ang hurriedly reprimanded, "You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't put farts indiscriminately." Thunder, rain and dew, all are Jun's grace, you remember for me, what the Son of Heaven gives you is yours, not for you, don't be delusional. ”

"Why take it so seriously, it's all your own people........"

"If you talk such nonsense again, sooner or later, your own people will be killed by you! Do you know that the crime that Ge Shuhan is now detaining me is rebellion, and you are good that you want to give me this charge for Ge Shuhan, right? ”

Hua Qiu laughed dryly, and didn't dare to make any more noise.

These people, even if they are independent generals, in front of Leon, they still only have to bow their heads and listen to the training, not only because today's glory and status are all due to Leon, but also because they have been tied up with Leon, one is prosperous and the other is lost.

"Okay, send more sentries out and strengthen the vigilance, Geshuhan's army is afraid that it will not be long before it arrives."

"Whoa!"

Not long after Li Ang had settled down in Dingrongding, Hua Qiu hurried into his residence to report: "I just caught seven or eight Tibetan merchants, and the other party actually asked to see you by name. ”

Li Ang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Have you asked clearly, which tribe are these Tubo people from?" ”

"I said I was from the Subi tribe and had something important to see you."

"Something important? Bring people in. ”

"Whoa!" (To be continued.) )
