Chen Xuanli, the general of Longwu, bowed and said: "Your Highness, Wang Mingyun's name is Wang Xun, and he is a descendant of Wang Qiang, the founder of the country, and he can also be regarded as a young talent in the Longwu army. On weekdays, I don't show mountains and water, but I didn't expect to make a miraculous achievement this time. ”

Li Heng nodded: "It is also a blessing for me to have such a character after the hero." - What do you think of the rebellion of the Persians? ”

Although Wang Mingyun is brave, the reward can only be said when he comes back from Tingzhou, so he will not talk about it for the time being. However, it is extremely strange to say that the Persians are strange, after all, in his eyes, the Persians have always been cautious and have never overstepped the bounds, and this bold and reckless act is really extraordinary.

Chen Xuanli happened to be the one who knew about it, and bowed down and said, "Your Highness, if the old minister guesses well, these people should be the remnants of the Persian Temple." ”

"The remnants of the Persian Temple?" Li Heng frowned, "What is the remnant of the Persian Temple, what does Chen Qing mean by this?" Zhang Xun, the head of the household department who was present over there, also looked at it.

Chen Xuanli's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, this matter is a long story. Does Your Highness remember the fire at the Persian Temple in Liquanfang last year? ”

Li Heng nodded: "Naturally remember." Liquanfang Persian Temple was built by Balus in that year, and it is also a famous attraction in Chang'an City, I have also been to play several times, I heard that there was a fire last year, and none of the people inside ran to come, which is a pity. However, listening to the meaning of Chen Qing's words, this matter seems to be strange? ”

Chen Xuanli nodded with a straight face: "It's true that there is something else going on, the original party inside, I only know a rough idea, and the only people who really know it completely are His Majesty and General Gao." After the fire at the Persian Temple in Liquanfang that day. So I rushed with my army to the monastery of Nabos. Your Highness. Now there is a mountain of wealth in the inner treasury. Among them, more than five million coins were seized by me at the behest of His Majesty under the ruins of the Persian Temple. ”

"What!" When Li Heng heard this, his face changed suddenly, "Chen Qing, is there such a thing?" ”

Five million is definitely an extremely staggering number. In his eyes, the Persian temple was nothing more than a gathering place for Hu merchants, a place dedicated to Ahura, the main god of fire. I heard that Chen Xuanli had seized more than 5 million yuan in the underground of the Persian Temple. It really surprised him.

5 million dollars...... Persian temples gather so much wealth, what is this for?

Chen Xuanli said solemnly: "Your Highness, when is this, how dare the old minister speak." I think that my Tang Dynasty income is only more than 30 million yuan, and a small Persian temple actually has more than 5 million yuan of property hidden in the underground, and His Majesty and His Highness are also extremely shocked at that time. ”

"The secret of the Persian temple was discovered by General Gao's people, and it was the old minister who finally obtained this wealth. Dozens of skeletons were found in the fire. Originally, I thought that those guys in the Persian Temple had been wiped out, and they would never be able to make trouble in the future. Now it seems that some remnants of iniquity have escaped. Your Highness, it seems that these guys are still thieves, and most of the interception of the old minister's subordinates this time was done by them. ”

"Persian Temple...... Chen Qing, why didn't you talk to Gu about these things earlier! What do those guys in the Persian Temple do? My Datang has always been kind to them, they secretly accumulate wealth, why? Li Heng furrowed his brows and said in a low voice.

Chen Xuanli said respectfully: "Your Highness, if it wasn't for the old minister's deliberate concealment, His Majesty personally told the old minister that day that the Persian Temple no longer exists, where would the old minister expect that there are still remnants of the Persian Temple." As for the purpose of the Persian temple...... Your Royal Highness, on the night that the Persian Temple burned down, His Majesty personally told the old minister that if the Persian Temple could succeed, the Tang Dynasty would be eroded everywhere and smoked everywhere! ”

"General Chen, are you saying that the people of the Persian Temple want to rebel?" Hearing this, Zhang Xunyan's face changed suddenly, and he couldn't help but interject. Li Heng over there was stunned for a while when he heard this.

Chen Xuanli nodded, thinking of what the Son of Heaven said to him that night, he still felt a chill in his heart.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty told the old minister that the purpose of the Persian Temple is to rebel and overthrow my Tang Dynasty artifact!"

"And they're not just thinking about it, they've been trying to do it for nearly a hundred years. The closest of these was a few years ago. His Majesty told the old minister that if it weren't for the miraculous achievements of Yan Zhenqing, the Taishou of the Plains, and Yang Guozhong, the right minister, who killed An Lushan, the envoy of the Three Towns Festival in advance, An Lushan would have rebelled. An Lushan has more than 100,000 elite border troops, and has the strong financial support of the Persian Temple, and the wealth in the Xiongwu City is piled up. ”

When Li Heng and Zhang Xun heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked again. Chen Xuanli's words are like knives, and every sentence is appalling. How could they have thought that this would be the case, An Lushan was really a rebel!

Taking a deep breath, Li Heng sat up straight and looked at Chen Xuanli and shouted: "Chen Qing, are you saying that Yan Zhenqing and Yang Zhao are both loyal ministers, and An Lushan is really a thief?" ”

Chen Xuanli nodded: "These things were found out secretly by His Majesty after An Lushan died in Chang'an City, and it was in the process of investigating this matter that Lijingmen discovered that the Persian Temple was extremely powerful and also knew their plan." An Lushan and the Persian Temple conspired to rebel, and this is absolutely true! ”

"Your Royal Highness, An Lushan is a traitor, but he is a big thief, Your Majesty said that Yang Zhao is not selfless in this matter, but he can also be regarded as eliminating traitors for the country, as for the plain Taishou Yan Zhenqing and Jingsai military envoy Gao Wenyuan...... They were the first to stand up and kill the national thieves, and after the defeat, they both judged themselves, they were really good men in my Tang Dynasty, but now they have to be regarded as rebellious, which is really embarrassing. ”

Every word of Chen Xuanli sounded like thunder in the ears of Li Heng and Zhang Xun, the two monarchs and ministers.

Years ago...... At that time, Ma Lu had just risen, and the Anxi army was recovering after the defeat of Talas, An Lushan won the trust of His Majesty, and he was a fierce general with hundreds of thousands of proud soldiers under Heshuo, if he really raised troops to the south, the consequences were absolutely unimaginable.

If An Lushan raises the flag and rebels, the Anxi army is far away in the sky, the distant water can't save the near fire, and the Beiya forbidden army is useless.

The better thing is that at that time, Tubo had been broken by Ma Lan, and the Tang Dynasty had no pressure to prevent autumn, and with the Anxi male soldiers, An Lushan was still difficult to succeed in the end, but the Central Plains had great rivers and mountains, and I was afraid that it would inevitably be beaten to tatters by the rebels.

Such a situation is simply unimaginable. Neither of them thought that just a few years ago, such a crisis happened in Datang!

Now that I can sit in Chang'an City, it is really thanks to Yan Zhenqing, Gao Wenyuan, and Yang Guozhong.

"Old General Chen, I don't know something." After pondering for a long time, Zhang Xun frowned and said, "Listening to the old general's words, this group of Persian slaves and An Lushan actually colluded quite deeply. However, the father of An Lushan is a Kangguo Hu person, but the mother family is a Turkic descendant Ashid clan, which is a mongrel, why did he collude with these dog thieves in the Persian Temple? Your Royal Highness, Weichen said something disrespectful, even if An Lushan succeeded, what good did these dog thieves do in the Persian Temple? These Persian slaves could never make wedding dresses for nothing, what did they want? ”

Li Heng nodded, and also looked at Chen Xuanli.

Chen Xuanli smiled bitterly and said: "Shangshu's words were asked by the old minister to His Majesty that day. According to His Majesty, An Lushan and the Persian Temple are in unison, each taking what he needs. An Lushan is ambitious, and he has strong soldiers and horses in his hands, and he wants to spy on the artifact, but he does not have enough financial resources. And the Persian temple has always wanted to rebel, but they don't want to be emperors, but want to destroy the famous religion in the Central Plains and carry forward the fire. ”

"According to His Majesty, Naan Lushan is a descendant of the Kangguo Hu people, and he believes in Zoroastrianism. He regarded himself as the leader of Zoroastrianism in the northeastern Hu people's settlement, attracting a large number of Sogdian Hu people with the surname Nine who believed in Huozhi to serve him. The Persian dog thieves in the Persian Temple also believe in the fire tree, and they have Zoroastrian holy relics in their hands, so they hit it off with An Lushan. ”

"The information found out by Lijingmen is that these dog thieves have helped An Lushan with a large amount of money, on the condition that after An Lushan is the lord of China, they will abandon the famous religion, ban Buddhism, and use fire as the state religion, and force people all over the world to believe in it!"

"Your Majesty said at the time that these dog thieves in the Persian Temple are really good at calculating, but they don't know that the hundreds of millions of people in the world have come to believe in the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, where can they be changed by manpower?"

Zhang Xun was furious when he heard this, and suddenly slapped his palm on the ground, and said angrily: "I want to establish another state religion, how dare the Persian rats do this!" ”

Li Heng's face was also gloomy, and the killing intent flashed in his eyes: "My Tang Dynasty treats the Persian remnants very well, and it is okay if this generation is not grateful to Dade, but it is really a pity to die with such thoughts!" ”

Obviously, at this moment, both the monarch and the minister were really angry with the Persian Temple.

Chen Xuanli nodded angrily: "Your Highness is right, those dog thieves are not a pity to die." - Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty told the old minister that in order to make An Lushan trouble, these dog thieves sent a lot of wealth to An Lushan, all of which were hidden in Fan Yang Xiongwu City. Later, God blessed me with the Tang Dynasty, and An Lushan died in Chang'an, and the wealth in Xiongwu City was smuggled away by them. According to the news obtained by Lijingmen, the value of the wealth transported to Fanyang City exceeded five million yuan, and later An Lushan just died in Chang'an, and that wealth disappeared from Fanyang. ”

Li Heng snorted and said: "That wealth is the batch that Chen Qing deposited in the inner treasury after you got it on the night when the Persian Temple of Liquanfang caught fire." ”

"Exactly." Chen Xuanli nodded, "Your Majesty told me at the time that the most regrettable thing was that Yan Zhenqing and Gao Wenyuan were two loyal ministers, if it weren't for their decisive launch, Your Majesty still trusted An Lushan at that time, and the situation that day was unimaginable." ”

"Your Majesty said that Yan Gao and the others have contributed to the society and are loyal ministers. The sons and daughters of the Jingsai Army are also good, His Majesty already knows the truth, but he still can only regard them as rebels. An Lushan is a chaotic minister and thief, but he is still worthy of enjoying the Taimiao, and his descendants are rich and noble in Chang'an City. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, but there are some things that you can't do about it. ”

Lee Hyung was silent. (To be continued......)
