"Your Majesty, the Tubo people have left Chang'an." In the imperial study, Cui Xiu looked at Li Xin with some fear, this man's words in the main hall made the ministers look embarrassed, and no one dared to object.

"The Turks are gone too?" Li Xin did not look up.

"Go ahead of the Tibetans." Cui Xiu hurriedly said.

"Let's go! We are just about to go to Helan Mountain. Autumn is coming, go hunting in Helan Mountain. Li Xin said with a smile: "Helan Mountain is a good place!" The general stayed in the Beijing Division, Chu Suiliang and Cen Wenwen stayed in the Beijing Division, and the eldest grandson Wuji was in Luoyang, let Du Ruhui and them follow behind! Keming, it's been a long time since I rested. ”

"Your Majesty has such a great love for your courtiers, I believe that the ministers will be grateful in their hearts." Cui Yuan asked with a smile: "I don't know, who is in command of the Guards?" ”

"Luo Shixin, Li Xuanba, and Cheng Yanjin accompanied him." Li Xin thought for a while and said: "These two people are okay now, they can go with me, and those little generals, Qin Huaiyu and others also go with them, and the students of the military academy also go." The accompanying army is only the Guards. Save what you can. Hey, although I would love to go to Helan Mountain once a year, it costs a lot to go once a year. ”

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Cui Xiu nodded, after all, 10,000 guards is a lot of consumption, and the greater consumption is on the officials who accompany the camp and the people in the palace. I'm afraid this consumption will cost hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and going once a year is a big consumption.

"Build a martyr's shrine in Chang'an, put the tablets of the soldiers who died in the war over the years here, for the royal family to sacrifice every year, as for the remains of the soldiers, send them to their hometowns for their relatives to sacrifice and remember!" Li Xin thought for a while and said.

"Your Majesty." Cui Yuan also hurriedly said: "In this way, you can avoid Your Majesty's long journey, and more importantly, you can save a lot of money." Lighten the burden on the imperial court. ”

"Well, let's talk about this matter when we come back this time! This time it is not only to sacrifice the soldiers of Helan Mountain, but more importantly, to inspect the place and Liangzhou. Li Xin waved his hand, Cui Yuan retreated, the emperor went out on patrol, some things need to be arranged, Cui Yuan is Honglu Temple, some things need to be prepared quickly, vehicles, horses, and entourage arrangements. Even the ritual of the sacrifice and so on, these things have to be carefully considered, and it will take at least a month or more to prepare.

With the news that Li Xin was going to sacrifice the souls of the soldiers of Helan Mountain, the Tang Dynasty once again set off a wave of joining the army and sacrificing the souls of the soldiers who died in battle. It is very rare, which shows that Li Xin attaches great importance to the officers and men in the army. Not to mention, the matter of being a marquis with military merits.

It was not until the beginning of July that Li Xin led the army to set off. There were not only civil and military ministers, but also the mothers and princes of the palaces, and so on, and all the servants added up, there were as many as 15,000 people. The army set off from Chang'an, and Li Jing, Cen Wenwen, Chu Suiliang, and Li Chengji sent Li Xin ten miles away, and Li Xin began his journey to inspect Liangzhou. It also set off a dark wave of assassination in Datang that shocked the government and the opposition.

Along the way, Li Xin passed through Sanfu, did not arrive at a place, he led the eldest grandson Wujian and Li Chengzong to inspect the local people's conditions, and stepped on the fields and markets. This is a high hope for the King of Han!

And at this time, in a wine shop far away from Taiyuan City, Qi Qi He Li looked at Ashina Simo with a cold snort, and said: "This person killed the owner of the wine shop and Xiao Er, I'm afraid he has leaked our whereabouts, and we must leave here immediately." ”

"Probably not! In troubled times, isn't it normal to kill someone? People die every day. Ashina Simo is in good shape, at this time, he has recovered most of it, it is difficult to hide the embarrassment on his dark face, he knows that what he said is a bit strong, but he has to be so, it was his own personal soldier who killed just now, he escaped from the prisoner camp with him, in the process of building the road, this personal soldier helped him a lot, and even without him, he might have been exhausted to death in Hanzhong.

"This is outside the city of Taiyuan, where are there any bandits, Li Xin ruled the Central Plains, it is already a peaceful and prosperous era." Qi Qi He Li sighed, of course he knew why Ashina Simo would excuse this matter.

"That guy's words are too ugly, saying that we Turks came from, how can this kind of person not kill him, even if he doesn't kill him, I will kill him." Ashina Simo thought for a while and said.

"Jinyiwei these people are like rats, they will definitely find a trace, this place can't stay any longer, while no one knows now, let's leave here quickly, as long as we get to the north of Dingxiang, it doesn't matter if someone knows, that place can go back to the grassland if you find a chance." He Li decided to leave Taiyuan as soon as possible.

"Okay, let's go." Ashina Simo looked at the two corpses next to him, and there was a trace of regret in his heart, he was about to leave Taiyuan, but he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen here.

Waiting until the next morning, the murder case of the liquor shop was soon discovered by the officials of Taiyuan, Ashina Simo still underestimated the strength of Jinyiwei, in this place in Taiyuan, although it cannot be said that any wind and grass can be discovered by Jinyiwei.

"Turks! They actually entered the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and they were still a group of people. When the news reached Chang'an again, it was already half a month later, and among the Jinyi Wei Yamen, Shen Qianqiu and Ji Gang had gloomy faces, because the traces they found were so terrifying.

"They have been to Chang'an, and according to the news, it can be known that several of the people there have been shackles, and there are traces of chains on their hands." Ji Gang raised the document in his hand and said.

"Yes, there is only one possibility for this situation, and that is the prisoner camp." Shen Qianqiu's face was solemn, and he said: "Although Pei Lin has gone to the roll call, if a few people really ran away from that place, it is really not easy for others to find out." However, it can be seen that when these Turks came to the Central Plains, were they just a few simple prisoners? I'm afraid that's unlikely! ”

"What do you mean?" Ji Gang's heart moved.

"In the captive camp, I am afraid that there is only one person who deserves such attention from the Turks, and that is Ashnasimo." Shen Qianqiu stood up and snorted coldly: "Ashina Simo's escape, just relying on a few Turks will definitely not work, at that time, he has been tortured and can't do anything, where can he have the energy to escape." According to the news from the informant, Ashina Simo Kong is powerful, and I am afraid that they have returned to normal, hehe, this is even more revealing. ”

"What do you mean is that my Datang has an internal response?" Ji Gang changed color violently, this escape is a completely different thing from having an inside, this kind of responsibility is that Shen Qianqiu and Ji Gang dare not bear it.

"This matter is very important, and it must be reported to the Son of Heaven immediately." Shen Qianqiu's face was solemn, and he said: "I feel that there is a conspiracy coming towards us, if it is really someone who colludes inside and outside, then I am afraid that the matter will not be so simple, and the people behind it must have other means." I will personally report this matter to Your Majesty, you stay in Beijing, you must find out who this person is, and he dares to collude with the Turks, this person must be in the court. Otherwise, there would not be such a great energy. You go to find Chu Suiliang and Cen Wenwen, they are smart, and they must be able to think of something that we didn't think of. ”

"Yes." Ji Gang hurriedly responded, both of them were grasshoppers on a rope in this matter, and Ji Gang didn't dare to drag his feet behind.

Not to mention that Shen Qianqiu rushed to Helan Mountain, that Ji Gang came to the Wude Hall with information, because the scholars of the Wude Hall had gone too much, Chu Suiliang and Cen Wenwen were both sitting in the Wude Palace, and when Ji Gang arrived, he found that the Wude Hall was busy, and many small officials such as the secretary office were busy.

"This official has something important to discuss with the two adults, and you all retreat." Ji Gang's face was gloomy, and he glanced at everyone, he also felt that there was probably a big conspiracy behind this matter, but because of this, he would be like this, and he couldn't let any news pass on, lest the enemy launch it in advance.

"Stand down, all of you." Cen Wenwen and Chu Suiliang glanced at each other, although they were curious about why Ji Gang came to the Wude Hall at this time, but they still made everyone retreat.

"Two adults, the stakes are very high, it must not be so, Jinyiwei received a secret report that the Turkic general Ashina Simo has fled. The whereabouts appeared in Taiyuan, and I am afraid that at this time I have fled to the Turks. Ji Gang hurriedly took out the information.

"Isn't he dead?" Chu Suiliang exclaimed.

"So many people, building roads all year round, it's normal for one or two to die, but since Ashina Simo is not dead, it means that someone has let him out and provided convenience, tsk, collusion between inside and outside! I'm afraid there is an even bigger conspiracy. Cen Wenwen's eyes rolled and he snorted coldly.

Ji Gang looked at Cen Wenwen in surprise when he heard this, it took him and Shen Qianqiu a long time to come to this conclusion, this Cen Wenwen knew the result of the matter at once, and suddenly Ji Gang didn't know what to say, this guy has too much brain, which makes Ji Gang feel ashamed.

"For my Datang's conspiracy, it is nothing more than collusion with foreign enemies, or assassinating the king. This is the fastest and most effective way to make Datang unstable. Cen Wenwen stood up and said, "Your Majesty is going to Helan Mountain, and that place is not far from Tubo. Tell Your Majesty to be careful, and send an army to meet Your Majesty immediately. Cen Wenwen said without hesitation. (To be continued.) )
