In Jincheng City, Liangzhou, Li Xin and the eldest grandson Wujian were sitting in a teahouse, looking downstairs with a smile, Jincheng is one of Li Xin's nests, Li Xin defeated Xue Ju here and unified Liangzhou, so after coming back from Helan Mountain, he took the opportunity to come to Jincheng. In his spare time, he and the eldest grandson Wujian are shopping here, but they are also very leisurely.

There was a sound of footsteps, and I saw Shen Qianqiu glancing around the hall, and saw Li Xin and the eldest grandson Wujian next to the window, and there were three tables next to the two, and there were some plainclothes guards sitting on the tables, which was to protect Li Xin and his wife.

"Your Majesty, the capital is decided. This is the recital of King Chen and Wu De Dian. Shen Qianqiu came to Li Xin and took out the chapter from his arms, the chapter was very thick, and after opening it, it was Chu Suiliang's handwriting, which said everything about the Jingshi, and the content was very detailed.

"Chengji, this kid is not bad." After Li Xin read it, he said to the eldest grandson Wuji: "Wuji, we should go back to Chang'an." After all, it is not our long-term residence outside of Jingshi. ”

The eldest grandson Wujian nodded, his face showed a soft color, although he only sat for a while, but the eldest grandson Wujian liked this kind of life very much, and Li Xin and the two walked in the streets and alleys, there was no trouble with state affairs, and there was no other woman to share her husband with her. It's a pity that such days will soon pass, no, it's time to return to Chang'an.

"What is Your Majesty going to do with the Gao family? I heard that the patriarch of the Gao family has been living in Chang'an City for the past few days, and the ancestor of the Gao family handed this chapter to the palace and wanted to meet the queen mother. Shen Qianqiu said in a low voice.

The wife of the so-called Gao Xiaoheng, the ancestor of the Gao family, King Gao of Guangning, is also a person who can speak in the Gao clan of Bohai, and more importantly, the King of Guangning had a good relationship with King Lanling, and this old lady who is over eighty years old does not go out of Bohai on weekdays. But this time, the Bohai Gao clan was involved in colluding with foreign enemies and assassinating the king, so that the old lady had to come to Chang'an City in person.

"Is that the old lady of the Cui family?" Li Xin asked with some surprise.

"Exactly. I heard that letting the Kanto family take care of the Queen Mother was her idea. Shen Qianqiu said in a low voice.

"Care?" After Li Xin heard this, he sneered in his heart. At that time, whether the Kanto family could be counted as taking care of the two words, others didn't know, but Li Xin still knew, if he really took care of it, the Gao family would not be what he was at the beginning, and Li Xin would not become a fool, and he was almost killed by the Li family. The so-called care is just a scene, and Li Xin doesn't care about these at all.

"Did the Queen Mother see her?" The eldest grandson Wujian gently shook Li Xin's big hand. asked Shen Qianqiu.

"Back to Niangniang, the Queen Mother didn't see her, but she was rewarded with something." Shen Qianqiu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "Among them, ten brocades, 100 gold coins, 100 silver coins, Liaodong ginseng, cordyceps and other precious medicinal materials were also sent. ”

"A queen mother is a queen mother." Li Xin was very satisfied after hearing this, Gao's approach made Li Xinzhong very comfortable, Gao's was on his side, in the end, those people in Bohai wanted to kill their son. Gao may be affectionate, but this is different. has touched Gao's bottom line, how can Gao spare these people?

"Your Majesty, although the queen mother doesn't care about the Gao family, but the Gao family is the queen mother's relatives after all, if you can forgive one or two, you will forgive one or two." The eldest grandson Wujian thought for a while and comforted.

"Yes. According to the criminal department, how to deal with it? After hearing this, Li Xin nodded and asked Shen Qianqiu.

"Zhu Jiu." Shen Qianqiu said without hesitation.

"If it's the Nine Clans, I'm afraid I won't even be able to escape." Li Xin said dissatisfiedly: "Punish the three clans! Don't dwell on foreign surnames. The same is true for the Pei family. Pei Shiju will be spared, just kill Pei Lian's family, I believe that Pei Lian's matter has nothing to do with the Pei family. The same is true for other officials. Li Xin remembered that the Pei family was very famous in history. There have also been many first-class figures such as prime ministers and generals, and they have killed too many, and it is inevitable that some talents will be lost. As for the other officials, it is already possible to destroy his family, and there is no need to exterminate the three clans and set off a big prison. Only the Bohai Gao clan is different, and they actually colluded with the Goguryeo people, and in such a large-scale action, the Gao clan is afraid that there are many people involved. That's why Li Xin will attack the Bohai Gao clan, and he believes that even if the Kanto family opposes it, there is no way.

"Yes." Shen Qianqiu hurriedly said.

"Deliver the message, two days later, return to Chang'an." Li Xin thought about it and quickly passed down the holy decree, he has been outside for a long time, at this time, he should go back, he is going to do it next year, but who to deal with first is to seriously consider.

At the Luoyang water's edge in the Kanto region, Cui Shuzhong and Zheng Shanguo leaned on the recliners, with a big umbrella covering the sun above their heads, and the two old men were wearing green clothes and fishing on the side. Who knew that these two old men were the former masters of the family, and even now, they have a huge voice in the family.

"I heard that the ancestor of the Bohai Gao family went to Chang'an? The Queen Mother also rewarded a lot of things. Uncle Cui smiled and said to Zheng Shanguo: "This is a blessing! The queen mother is in Cining Palace all the year round, and when she gets rid of the queen and the concubines, she doesn't see outsiders, and she rarely rewards anything? This time, hey, hey! ”

"The Bohai Gao clan has mastered the commercial contacts of Goguryeo, Silla and Baekje over the years, and on the trade route, each caravan must draw forty percent, otherwise, there will be pirates infested, hehe, some people say that as long as the Gao flagpole is hung above the fleet, let alone on the sea, even in Goguryeo is unimpeded, don't you and I also have to send a lot of money every year to open up this road?" Zheng Shanguo said disdainfully.

Although the relationship between these families is good, but in the same way, there are also fights between each other, and the Bohai Gao clan occupies a lot of interests, just like the Zhuojun Lu clan back then, the Zhuojun Lu clan has the passage to the grassland, and has a lot of connections with the Turkic, Khitan and other tribes in the grassland. Although there is no such thing as a monopoly in this era, there is indeed a monopoly.

This time, the fall of the Bohai Gao clan means that the road from the Central Plains to Silla and Goguryeo needs someone to run, but in whose hands it will fall into, this must be seriously considered.

After Uncle Cui listened to it again, he quickly understood that Zheng Shanguo's purpose in inviting him to fish this time was nothing more than profit. But it is not only the Cui family and the Zheng family who are staring at this business road. At present, the relationship between the Cui family and the Zheng family is really not much different, the Cui family has Cui Susu, and the Zheng family also has Zheng Guanyin, but there are several others!

"Sir! Lady Choi is here. At this time, the subordinate suddenly approached Cui Shuzhong's ear and said.

He looked back, but saw that Cui Yuan came slowly, and suddenly his face changed, although this Cui Yuan is the same Cui as himself, but he has actually separated, and Cui Yuan is now the prince of the country, and has not been reduced to the county prince, which shows that Cui Yuan will still do things for the emperor, which makes him a little dissatisfied in his heart. Although the family is now subservient to the Son of Heaven, it does not mean that the Son of Heaven can do whatever he wants and can obey the Son of Heaven unconditionally. There is still a struggle in private, but it is not on the surface.

For example, this incident of the Bohai Gao family, so many Goguryeo are going to Helan Mountain at this moment, and they will definitely pass through the land of Shandong, have these families not noticed it? Obviously, it is impossible, but it is not blocked, and it is still operated by the Bohai Gao clan, whether it succeeds or fails, it has nothing to do with the Kanto family.

It is ridiculous that the Bohai Gao clan and Pei Lin and others thought that the Kwantung family had agreed to their actions, so they declared war with such fanfare, but they didn't know that in the eyes of the real family, this kind of behavior of sending assassins was undoubtedly breaking the rules. And anyone who is smart knows that this kind of plan will not succeed. To join this kind of plan is to seek death.

"Cui Yuan has seen two Shibo." Cui Yuan is slightly fat, this guy who was just the commander of Shouyang County back then, is now Honglu Siqing, and has won the trust of Li Xin, and he has been named the Duke of the Kingdom and is in charge of the Cui family, it can be said that after he invested in Li Xin, he has received a rich return.

"Virtuous nephew! Sit. Uncle Cui nodded again and pointed to the brocade stool next to him.

"Patriarch Cui, are you here to accompany us two bad old men to fish?" Zheng Shanguo said with a smile.

"Discuss the issue of the Bohai Gao clan with the two Shibo." Cui Yuan's face was full of smiles, although the two in front of him were the best in the family, the real talkers of the Cui family and the Zheng family, but he Cui Yuan was not bad, the patriarch of the Cui clan in Qinghe, a member of the imperial court, and was trusted by the Son of Heaven. When it comes to status, it is no worse than the two.

"What? Qinghe Cui's is ready to take over the Bohai Gao clan? After Zheng Shanguo listened, he looked at Cui Yuan fiercely, and an inexplicable light flashed in his triangular eyes, even if he gave up the position of patriarch to Zheng Jibo, he was still a member of the Zheng family, as long as it was a benefit, he could not give it to others. Even Cui Shuzhong also looked at Cui Yuan, faintly dissatisfied. This kind of eating is too ugly.

"The Cui family is just one of them, and more importantly, the emperor." Cui Yuan pointed to it and said, "Your Majesty is ready to let us enter the territory of Goguryeo. If the two Shibo are interested, this kind of thing is not impossible to consider. ”

Cui Shuzhong and Zheng Shanguo were stunned when they heard this, and immediately understood Li Xin's plan, which was clearly preparing to make a move against Goguryeo, but first of all, with the help of business travel, spying on Goguryeo's intelligence, bribing Goguryeo's officials, etc., this is the most common means adopted by the Tang Dynasty in foreign wars. The army did not move, and the caravan went first. (To be continued.) )
