Twelve, Goguryeo • Demon Moon Immortal
Han Dang boiled water in a cast iron jar and made three cups of hot tea. The clammy and cold in the ice cave was unusual, he himself often moved there, and he was used to it, but Guo Yu and Xian Yuyan inevitably couldn't stand it, and their noses were green and snotty. After a few sips of hot tea, everyone felt much warmer and breathed smoothly.
Han Dang didn't wait for the two to ask, of course he knew their questions. When the case occurred more than 30 years ago, Xian Yuyan was still just a child, and Guo Yu was not born. In the past few decades, most of the turmoil in Chang'an, they may not be able to know it in their eyes.
Seeing that the two of them were better, he slowly said again, and if he had been holding back for most of his life, he would have to say it today.
"When I found the three-legged golden crow and the dragon and phoenix carved on the steel needle, I began to pay attention to the figures, objects, and even palace tiles with these patterns. Of course, there are more of them that have nothing to do with this case, and I have also checked them out one by one. It took a lot of my energy, but I didn't get much, almost nothing.
At the same time, I have learned a lot of inside information from the large and small cases of rebellion and rebellion and forming parties for personal gain in recent decades, and bribing relations with officials of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department. I found that whether it is true, false, false, false, or real. Behind many cases of rebellion, there seems to be a force behind the covert manipulation. Even later, they could no longer be satisfied with hiding behind the scenes, and began to actively recruit generals with heavy troops in their hands.
Among them, the most eye-catching is the eunuch named Bian Lingcheng. At that time, he was still a handsome young man, with good looks, and I thought that even if he was not a eunuch, he must be a soft man.
I found that he was diligent in interacting with the generals stationed in various towns, and whenever the border generals went to Chang'an to report on their work, he would always actively feast and drink with those generals. He was just a little eunuch of low rank at that time, and in terms of reasonableness and financial resources, all these things he did made me suspicious.
I'm weird right now, though. The person who had the deepest relationship with him at the beginning should be General Gao Xianzhi in the Western Regions, every time Gao Xianzhi returned to Chang'an, they must have feasted and drunk in the Flower Picking Building in the West City, and their friendship was very good. However, on that day in Tongguan, Bian Lingcheng wanted to force Gao Xianzhi to kill? ”
Guo Yu thought to himself, they are not only close to each other, but also cousins. However, with Han Dang's meticulousness, he didn't find out about the relationship between the two of them, and it seems that the two deliberately covered them up later.
"Later, I found out that most of the generals with whom Bian Lingcheng interacted were Goguryeo. Before Goguryeo fell to the country, the totem of its royal family was the three-legged golden crow. Back then, when Gao Xianzhi and Bian Lingcheng were in the Western Regions, they wantonly invaded the countries of the Western Regions, plundered the wealth of the Stone Kingdom and the Tuqishi, and later distributed most of the plundered gold and silver to the soldiers to buy people's hearts. After Emperor Xuanzong knew the inside story, he only remembered the merits of the relevant people, but did not give rewards, and deliberately snubbed the generals of Anxi. Later, Gao Xianzhi was transferred from the six towns of Anxi step by step, and he was given the honorary title of General Yulin of Youyulin, and gradually deprived him of military power.
At that time, people said that Gao Xianzhi was greedy for money, hehe, in fact, he had to pay more, just see one side, you can know that it is a high-minded and arrogant person, how can he really be tempted by some gold and silver vulgar things. I speculate that he invaded Shiguo back then in order to accumulate financial resources and win people's hearts in order to achieve great things. After Xuanzong realized this, he treated them coldly and transferred him away from the six towns of Anxi, depriving him of his actual military command.
As for why Gao Xianzhi didn't defect when he was in Tongguan, and why Bian Lingcheng would kill Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing, there must be another inside story. I don't know. Moreover, it is said that Bian Lingcheng killed Gao Xianzhi, which is actually a later statement, and what he carried at that time was indeed the holy decree of Emperor Xuanzong himself.
I don't know the secret. It's just that, looking at the past few days, the attitude of the people in the DPRK and China towards Bian Lingcheng has made me even more convinced of my guess.
Bian Lingcheng used to associate with the generals of the feudal towns and win over hundreds of officials in the court, and the court should know about it. It's just that the East Window incident has not happened, and because of the interests of various factions, no one has exposed him. After the incident at Tongguan, Bian Lingcheng showed his fox tail, and the people who were involved with him before began to sit still. Some advocated an immediate decree to kill him, and some advocated bringing him back for detailed examination, but the opinions of each family were different, and it was difficult to see the secrets in their hearts.
Ay. But after all, these are all speculations. Whether it is Bian Lingcheng or Gao Xianzhi, I have carefully investigated, and I have not found a figure similar to a three-legged golden crow on their bodies or in their homes. Otherwise, there can be more tangible evidence. ”
What Han Dang said touched Guo Hua a lot. Because of the instructions of his father and Li Jiao, the king of Guangping, he believed that Han Dang's guess was likely to be true. Fortunately, I met such an old official who has lived in Chang'an City for decades, and he looks at Chang'an like a fish in a pond. I finally understood why my father, and even Li Li, the king of Guangping, were so cautious.
Guo Hua didn't tell Han Dang about Bian Lingcheng, he felt that it was too risky. He knew that Han Dang himself had been very careful in the past few decades, after all, the killer organization led by that group of forces was indeed chilling.
It was the first time he had seen such a secretive and forbearant killer organization. It has appeared twice before and after, almost forty years apart, and its existence will be even longer, and it has not been exposed for such a long time, what a patient person the owner of this organization must be, perhaps, not just one person, it is likely to be passed down from generation to generation.
However, it is certain that the person behind this secret organization will not be An Lushan, because they no longer need to engage in any secret assassination.
If, their purpose is to subvert the Tang Dynasty, at this time, their father should become their target, assassination, co-optation? Guo Hua couldn't help but think far away.
Goguryeo is a small ancient kingdom in the far northeast, probably more than 700 years old. Since Cao Wei, the Central Plains regime has sent troops to attack Goguryeo many times, and Emperor Yang of Sui opened the Grand Canal to attack Goryeo.
During the reign of Tang Zhenguan, Taizong also used troops against Goguryeo many times, but it was not until the time of Tang Gaozong that Goguryeo was completely destroyed. The courage and unity of the Goguryeo people can be seen.
Emperor Taizong Huairou Siyi, after conquering Goguryeo, continued to move people into the customs to recuperate, and rewarded the original Goguryeo royal family. Especially for those Goguryeo generals who are brave and good at fighting, they can know people and be good at their duties. Therefore, there were many Goguryeo military generals in various towns and provinces of the Tang Dynasty, who were loyal to the Tang Dynasty and united their own clans, and were passed down as the Goguryeo warrior group.
In the six towns of Anxi, the Goguryeo warrior group headed by Gao Sheji and Gao Xianzhi and his son was the most powerful, while the Goguryeo warrior group in the Yingzhou area was large because of its proximity to the Goguryeo homeland.
In the early days of Goguryeo's annihilation, many anti-Tang forces emerged, and there were many restoration movements. Perhaps, they feel that Datang is in full swing, and confronting it is like hitting a stone with an egg, and it is a behind-the-scenes manipulation to transform this desire for restoration into a secret. When you think about it this way, it's possible.
Xian Yuyan didn't think as much as Guo Yu thought. His ancestors were the Gaoche people at the foot of the Yin Mountain, also known as Eile.
"Eilechuan, under the Yin Mountain, the sky is like a dome, covering the four fields. The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep. "It's about the life of the Gaoche people.
Later, the Gaoche people gradually disappeared, and the former Eilechuan had already become a place for the Turks to graze their cattle and sheep. The Gaoche people are scattered all over the world, constantly assimilating with the Han people, and most of them are stable, unlike the Goguryeo people, who are always full of nostalgia for their homeland.
Xian Yuyan is like this, Lotte knows his fate. In addition, he has lived in the capital for a long time, and it is common for him to deceive and compete for power and profit. Therefore, after listening to what Han Dang said, he was not surprised, and even felt a little relieved. Although within his jurisdiction, the group of demons failed to succeed, but after all, they were also the people who died in the prosecutor's hall, and they were distressed for a while before, such a strange case, I really don't know what to do. On the contrary, if it is really as Han Dang said, his little Zuojie envoy will probably be more or less relaxed, and at most he will be reprimanded.
So, Xian Yuyan saw that Han Dang finished speaking, Guo Hua was thoughtful, and reminded Guo Yu that there was something to ask Han Dang.
Guo Hua woke up at the moment and asked Han Dang how much he knew about Yongfu Beitianfang.
When Han Dang heard this, he was surprised, it seems that Guo Yu didn't just come here to help Xian Yuyan with such a simple answer. Shen Yin: "There, it's just a sick shop, it seems to be presided over by the monks of Ximing Temple. On the 18th of each month, they would report the people they had taken in to Jin Wuwei, and I had been on an errand for decades, and I had never seen them have any errands. But Guo Gongzi asked, I'm afraid there is something else hidden?"
It seems that Han Dang didn't know about Bian Lingcheng's childhood. According to Han Dang, his surveillance of Bian Lingcheng is very close, and if Bian Lingcheng had returned there after becoming a eunuch, it was impossible for Han Dang not to know. Generally speaking, the orphans taken in by the ward will always go back to help out when they become adults.
After Bian Lingcheng left there, he never returned. Is it because of his identity as a eunuch, or is it deliberately concealed?
Guo Hua didn't want to be implicated too much, so he replied: "It's also something that is in some speculation, and Brother Han will naturally understand it in the future." ”
What Guo Hua is tracking is likely to be the same group of people as he wants to investigate. Han Jing understood in his heart, stopped asking, turned his head, pulled the topic to Xian Yuyan's side, and asked: "You said, that group of demons was about to pretend to be ghosts, and three people from the Inspectorate Hall came out. How did they know that there would be someone who would be unfavorable to Xu Qiuchi that night? The first two cases were not leaky, and it was impossible to find clues from those two cases. The Prosecutor's Office has only been established for a year, and their chief manager He Lanshou is less than forty years old, and the deputy chief Yu Nuohai is even more hairy boy. How could they track down the events of that night so quickly and so accurately? and sent three people. and the left-handed swordsman of unknown origin is even more incredible. ”
Xian Yuyan didn't care about Hehe Yile and said, "No matter how weird their way is, I think your revenge should be avenged." First, if the mastermind behind that group of demons is to subvert Datang, then now is the right time, no matter how patient and patient they are, now that An Lushan has broken up Datang, they may not be able to sit still, such an opportunity, if they miss it, they may really have to wait for hundreds of years. Second, since they have been committing crimes in a row, and they still have to pretend to be ghosts, they must have wanted to ask something in the mouths of those people, and it seems that they have not received an answer, so they will continue to do crimes, and this time they have been obstructed by the people in the prosecutor's office, and they must not have known what they want to hear; third, the gang and the left-handed knife man are not easy to find, but the people in the prosecutor's hall are easy to find, and it seems that the prosecutor's office must have discovered something a long time ago; as for Xu Qiuchi, you can also investigate more to see what secrets they have on them that are worth people's painstaking efforts。 ”
"Well, the people who monitor the prosecutor's hall, starting with Xu Qiuchi, this is a good way. After hearing Xian Yuyan's words, the two couldn't help nodding.
"And that Xue Yiliu, listening to what she said, Xu Qiuchi should have been Gao Xianzhi's subordinate back then, and he also had a deep grudge. Guo Yu added.
Xue Yiliu •••••• very strange, according to Jin Wuwei's records, she should be just the daughter of a little Hu Shang, somehow, she entered the palace for no reason, and it is the identity of Shang Gong to see you again today. Because, before she entered the palace, when she checked her identity, she found many suspicious points, her so-called parents had lived in Chang'an for a long time, and the existing children had already been recorded, and she had such a big daughter out of thin air, she was very strange, and she was afraid that something would happen, so she never dared to sign for her to enter the palace. Later, it was Li Fuguo and Master Li who came to greet her in person, and he insisted on beckoning her into the palace. After Xian Yuyan finished speaking, she took a big sip of a bowl of hot tea.
Han Dang returned to his previous silence, like a robe that had been shaken off, a little empty, and a little relieved. Guo Yu and Xian Yuyan continued to chat about the case for a few words, and felt that it was almost over, so they wanted to leave.
It was already dark, and a cool breeze blew. Xian Yuyan sneezed several times in succession. Guo Yu couldn't help but look up at the sky, and suddenly found that above the eastern sky, a full moon had already risen.
It was a very beautiful full moon, like a huge plate of crystal silver. It's so beautiful. If today is fifteen or sixteen, this must be a very beautiful moment, and there will be a lot of girls and, who will fall for it and drink and write poems for it.
But today, it's the fifth day of August!
Guo Yu didn't make a sound, and Xian Yuyan and Han Dang had also discovered something abnormal.
Although this giant moon is beautiful, it is too strange. Moreover, it looks as if it is far away in the sky, and it seems to be only a hundred feet away in front of it, as if it is far away and near, and the light is strange.
The giant moon gradually rose, and seemed to be pressing, becoming more and more huge, and in the blink of an eye, it had grown from the size of a car cover to more than 20 zhang square. The legendary laurel tree of the Moon Palace, the outline of the branches and leaves is clearly visible, and through the branches and leaves of the laurel tree, you can even see an attic in the Guanghan Palace.
A window was pushed open, and a faint fragrance of osmanthus overflowed, and a bewitching woman leaned there.
The beautiful woman wore her hair in a high bun and wore a silver gown, the gown was thin, and a pair of snow-white and straight breasts could be seen half-naked.
Looking at the woman's eyebrows, lips and nose again, they all reveal the charm of a mature woman, like a blooming peony, teasing every nerve of people, it is simply tempting a storm.
