Not long ago, the envoy of Silla was assassinated in a flower boat under the Jiuqu Bridge." Chang Yu commanded his subordinates to deploy defenses, and at the same time introduced the assassination that had occurred not long ago to Li Xuan, who was standing beside him.

"Tonight, when the Silla envoys were feasting on the flower boats outside the Seosumen Gate, and when the wine feast was dispersed, they returned home, and when the Silla envoys were in a small boat in the middle of the river, a group of assassins suddenly emerged from the water and slaughtered the Silla envoys, slaves, and maids on the boats.

In an instant, the Silla envoy and his party on the small boat had already been killed, and the ships coming and going around had no time to rescue them." Chang Yu had a shocked look.

The assassination of an envoy, even if it is a hostile country like Silla, is definitely not a trivial matter.

"All killed?" Li Xuan couldn't help but gasp, and at the same time couldn't help but ask puzzledly, "Sima, why is the Silla envoy in Yangzhou?"

When the Silla envoy landed in the Tang Dynasty, he should land from Dengzhou, and then either take the official road, or go north against the Yellow River to Luoyang, or go south to Xuzhou, and go from the canal to Luoyang in Xuzhou.

In any case, he should not appear in Yangzhou at this time.

"That's what Your Majesty meant." Chang Yu took a deep look at Li Xuan, and then said, "The king of Silla is now in Yangzhou, so His Majesty ordered the envoy of Silla to rush from Dengzhou to Yangzhou, and it is said that this is still the mention of the king of Nanchang."

"This king?" Li Xuan's face was suddenly confused, how could this matter have anything to do with him.

The king of Silla mentioned here is not the king of Silla, King Munmu King Kim Famin, but his younger brother, King Kim In-wen of Rinhae-gun.

Unlike the ambitious King Wenwu, Jin Renwen was loyal to the Tang Dynasty.

Xue Rengui once made a recital back then: "In the Silla royal family, the elder brother is the rebel, and the younger brother is a loyal minister."

In the first year of Li Zhi's general chapter, Feng Jinren was the prince of Linhai County, with 2,000 households.

After the first battle in February this year, Datang won a complete victory.

Emperor Kim In-wen was named the new king of Silla, and planned to send him back to China to completely replace his brother King Mumu and completely pacify Silla.

It's a pity that the crown prince died of illness, which led to turmoil in the government and the opposition, and the king of civil and military affairs came at the right time to ask for guilt, and the emperor's attitude has changed.

Therefore, after the Silla envoy arrived in the Tang Dynasty, the emperor ordered Kim In-wen to stop in Yangzhou, and the Silla envoy did not let him go straight to Luoyang, but asked him to come to Yangzhou.

As for what kind of entanglements and changes there are in this, Li Xuan is not clear.

Jin Ren asked about the matter in Yangzhou, and Li Xuan naturally knew about it, he was still a god at that time, and this kind of thing couldn't be hidden from him.

What's more, when the emperor inquired later, Li Xuan also made a certain investigation into Silla.

However, because it was difficult for him to get credit for the Silla war, Li Xuan quickly withdrew, and he no longer paid attention to the rest of the matter.

This time passing through Yangzhou, Li Xuan's time was very tight, although he knew that Jin Renwen was in Yangzhou before, but he had already forgotten about it.

If Chang Yu hadn't deliberately mentioned it tonight, Li Xuan would have forgotten about it a long time ago.

"In other words, the envoy of Silla is in Yangzhou this time, and His Majesty is practicing the law of leniency and severity." Li Xuan pondered in his heart, he generally knew what the emperor wanted to do.

Chang Yu looked at Li Xuan in some surprise, he didn't expect Li Xuan to be able to see through this.

"Your Majesty asked the envoy of Silla to come to Yangzhou to discuss trade with the princes of Yangzhou, and at the same time asked the king of Linhai to stop in Yangzhou to put pressure on him, and when he arrived in the divine capital, he faced the temptation that was difficult to refuse, and the imperial court might refuse at any time. Chang Yu directly broke it.

Li Xuan immediately shook his head and said, "I'm afraid otherwise, the most important thing for the Silla people now is to want to stop war with our dynasty, although the merchants of Yangzhou are full of temptation, but they are afraid that they only see that His Majesty wants to make peace with Silla, so it will be difficult to negotiate peace."

What kind of mentality is the Silla people, although Li Xuan is not confident that he is the first person in the dynasty, but I believe that it is not much less than those important ministers of the government and the opposition.

What's more, he has a broad vision and a lot of things

Love can think from a unique perspective.

"If it is difficult to negotiate peace, then it will not be difficult for him to fight."

Chang Yu suddenly sneered, turned around and looked southwest, where the Silla embassy was located.

"The king of Linhai is in Yangzhou, and to be honest, this king is a little worried that the Silla people will assassinate the king of Linhai." Li Xuan shook his head and said with a puzzled face, "Now that the Silla envoy has been assassinated, who is doing this? By the way, what is the situation of the Silla envoy, Chang Sima, what you just said, the Silla envoy doesn't look like something is wrong."

If it is said that the Silla envoy really died in Yangzhou, no matter what, the officials of Yangzhou from top to bottom will inevitably be reprimanded by the emperor.

Chang Yu's current appearance, although he is also worried about the follow-up, is more worried about Li Xuan's situation, and does not seem to care about the life and death of the so-called Silla envoy.

If the Silla envoy really died in Yangzhou, he shouldn't be like this.

"The prince is keen!" Chang Yu arched his hand at Li Xuan and said, "Xia Guan first went to the West Water Gate, and after examining the corpses, he found that although there were many corpses inside, there was no corpse of the Silla Guilty Envoy Qin Dull Jiaogan, and the prince guessed where I finally found Qin Dull Jiaogan?"

"On the flower boat." Li Xuan's words were very indifferent and determined.

In fact, Chang Yu's words have already revealed this meaning, since the Silla envoy is not dead, it seems that he has not been captured, so there is only one place he can do, and that is the flower boat.

Li Xuan didn't believe that any Yangzhou family dared to ask the Qin Dull Horn private boat to meet, and when the emperor was suspicious, although he would not directly wipe out the family, but he would easily remove the position of several families, I am afraid it would be difficult for the family to bear.

They still weigh which is more important.

"That's true, Silla is a small country, and his stature is short, and after he arrives in the Tang Dynasty, he will naturally be happy to see the prosperity of our dynasty." The corners of Chang Yu's mouth curled slightly, and he looked disdainful, as if he was looking at a bun.

The Tang Dynasty is rich all over the world, admired by the world, all countries come to the dynasty, Silla is a small widow, where have you seen such a prosperous place as Yangzhou.

It's normal to come here and be squinted by the bustle.

"Let's let Dou Changshi take a good look and find out what the relationship between the dead people in the Silla envoy and the Silla envoy is." Li Xuan's words pointed out the strangeness in this.

Is this assassination tonight really aimed at the Silla envoy, I'm afraid not necessarily.

Chang Yu's face suddenly became solemn, and he arched his hand at Li Xuan: "What the prince said, the lower officials have written it down."

Being able to sit in the position of Sima of the Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Chang Yu didn't know how many intrigues he had experienced, and the strangeness of this passed through Li Xuan, and he immediately saw it clearly, and his brows were locked at the same time.

"That's right, Lord Wang." Chang Yu looked at Li Xuan and said with a serious face: "Tonight's incident, the Silla envoy was assassinated, and he has a long history of being responsible, but the assassination of the prince, no matter what, the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion must find out."

"This matter?" Li Xuan was a little embarrassed, but after thinking about it, he still said directly: "Tonight's matter, this king can not say much, but Liang Fu, who came back with this king, no, it is Liang Poria, Liang Fuling, the only daughter of Liang Ming, Yongchang Bo, I am afraid that she is also the target of assassination, and this line can be investigated."

"Yongchang Bofu?" Chang Yu showed a sudden look, and then nodded and said: "Yongchang Bo Mansion involves the entire Xinlinwei, if you start with Yongchang Bofu, it will be easy to calculate Xinlinwei's Zhichong Du Wei and Guo Yi Du Wei, if you are not careful, the entire Yangzhou will be in danger."

"Finding out the hand that was secretly instigated is only one of them, the most important thing is the second, what kind of person can completely capture the entire Yangzhou City when Xinlinwei is paralyzed, who has this power, Chang Sima, should be cautious!"

Yangzhou City is now surrounded by two Zhichong Mansions, Xinlin Mansion and Hanjiang Mansion.

Hanjiang Mansion is a naval army, and the water network in Yangzhou City is complex, and ships can reach all corners of the city at any time, but once the naval army goes ashore to fight, the combat power will be immediately reduced by three points.

This should have been the moment when the soldiers of the Xinlin Guard Mansion made a move, but he

When something goes wrong, it immediately gives someone else a chance to take advantage of it.

But this also reveals the details of the other party, and can fight against the Hanjiang soldiers whose strength has been reduced by three, and the opponent's troops are not idle.

If it weren't for people from the outside, then there would be problems inside Xinlin Mansion and Hanjiang Mansion, and the trouble would be no small either.

Be careful, you need to be careful now.

What should be guarded against, we need to be on guard from now on.

Otherwise, I don't know how I died.
