The night was dark and there was a curfew in Luoyang.

Tomorrow is the emperor's fiftieth birthday celebration, but one day earlier, Luoyang is exceptionally calm, and even the curfew is half an hour earlier.

Guande Fang, Di Renjie walked calmly on the long street in the workshop.

Countless Jin Wuwei rushed out from behind Di Renjie and spread directly towards the square.

Behind Di Renjie, in addition to Qin Ming, there were also two old Buddhist monks.

These two old Buddhist monks are not like the masters of Tiangong Temple who mainly practice classics, they are all senior monks of the previous generation of Luohan Hall in Luoyang White Horse Temple.

No one can be safe and sound forever after framing the Buddha.

Especially with the permission of the emperor and the people of Buddhism can assist in the investigation, one clue after another gathered directly into Di Renjie's hands.

After three days, they finally found a Taoist temple in Guande Fang.

Cool view.

Standing in front of the Qingliangguan Gate, Di Renjie's face was calm and indifferent, but the two old monks hesitated a little.

Although the Qingliang view is a small door, it is also an ancient view inherited from the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms.

Moreover, they have always been cautious in coming and going, rarely in contact with outsiders, and devoting themselves to studying the Tao, how could they frame the Buddha.

The two old monks are actually a little worried about whether this Taoist temple is also like them, and it was framed by others.

……

There was no room for the two old monks to react, and Di Renjie waved his hand vigorously.

The next moment, countless Jin Wuwei had already rushed directly into the Taoist temple.

At the moment when the gate was rushed open, the faces of the two old monks instantly became extremely ugly.

Because an undetectable smell of blood has rushed out of the courtyard directly.

Ordinary people may not notice anything, but these two old monks with profound cultivation are like falling into an ice cellar in an instant.

"Let's go, two masters, the smell of blood here is still fresh, and this murderer is afraid that he is still in this courtyard at the moment." Before Di Renjie's words were finished, the two old monks had already rushed in directly.

A moment later, the sound of a fierce fight was heard from the courtyard.

Di Renjie slowly entered with a calm face, and Qin Ming followed by his side, also not in a hurry.

By the time the two of them appeared in the backyard, there was already a corpse wearing Taoist robes lying on the ground, and two old monks were standing aside, their faces ugly and terrifying.

"Two masters, how's that?" Di Renjie asked directly.

"It's the people of the Demon Sect, they pretend to be Taoists who place orders, confuse the people in the Taoist temple, and then take advantage of their unpreparedness to kill directly." The old monk briefly talked about it.

"So how many such people are there in the entire Taoist temple in Luoyang?" Di Renjie asked very directly.

The old monk's face instantly turned ugly.

Now that the righteous emperor has a big birthday, not to mention the Taoist temple in Luoyang, Chang'an, it is all the temples in Luoyang, Chang'an, and I am afraid that they are also full of monks who have placed orders.

It is inevitable that there will be demon sect disciples infiltrating here, and when the time comes, they will be caught off guard and kill them, and I don't know how many people will be killed or injured.

"Brother Qin, you accompany the two masters, let Jin Wuwei bring the monks of the White Horse Temple, and inform the temples to strengthen their vigilance." Di Renjie bowed his hand to the two masters, and then said: "Xiaguan needs to go to Taiqing Palace, let the people from Taiqing Palace accompany the capture of Dali Temple, and notify the Taoist temple in the whole city." ”

"Good!"

……

Jade Dragon Garden, candle flame flickering.

Liu Jinyu sat on the soft couch in the house, watching Siniang Shubi and Wuniang Qiongyu playing with Xia'er and Zhao'er, and at this moment, a rush of footsteps sounded outside the door.

"Princess." Li Bi stood outside the door and said respectfully: "Qingliangguan in the east of the city was served by Di Huaiying and Jin Wuwei, and all the Taoist priests inside were killed by the Demon Sect Secret Son, Dali Temple reported, let us check the strangers at home." ”

Liu Jinyu frowned and said, "Got it." ”

"You go and get the news of Honglu Temple and the Tianshan Mansion now." Liu Jinyu stood up as she said and walked behind the table.

"Whoa!" Li Bi gave up his hand and left immediately, and soon, he returned again.

At this time, Liu Jinyu had already spread out the paper on the table.

Daomen, Demon Gates, Buddha Gates.

Secret guard, prince.

Imperial court, Li Jingye, Turkic.

Looking at the names she had written, Liu Jinyu's face became more and more solemn.

Undoubtedly, at present, these people are all preparing to make a move on the emperor's birthday, but among these people, they must also be divided into positive and negative.

Obverse: Daomen, Buddhism, Prince, Imperial Court.

Opposite: Demon Gate, Li Jingye, Turkic.

The pen stopped here, and Liu Jinyu's expression became more and more focused.

Now in her pen, there is only one name left untouched, Mi Wei.

What role did the secret guard play in this matter?

Ming Chongyan disturbed the prince's eyeliner, using the people of the Demon Gate, that is to say, the secret guards were already infiltrating the Demon Gate.

Or even control the Demon Gate.

A bold idea suddenly appeared in Liu Jinyu's mind.

The guards are trying to pass through the Demon Gate and influence the Turks to make trouble on the Emperor's birthday.

The secret guards are deliberately causing contradictions between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks.

Liu Jinyu has helped Liu Renliang deal with government affairs for many years, and her vision has long passed the stage of naïve right and wrong in her youth.

Mi Wei deliberately caused the contradiction between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, whether they were deliberately removing the contradictory atmosphere between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, or were they deliberately detonating the contradictions between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, and guiding the war to develop towards a stage of complete uncontrol.

It should be the former.

Liu Jinyu judged based on his own understanding of Empress Wu that the secret guard should use the death of some Turks to alleviate the contradiction between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks.

It's not such a surprising measure.

Although the momentary killing will make some people fall into anger, returning to the roots, the grassland vacated by the killing and death will greatly alleviate the Turks' intention to attack the Tang Dynasty.

Similarly, conflicts caused by the vacated grassland will also make the grassland more antagonistic to each other, so that they have no more time and energy to spend on Datang.

This should be the design of the Empress Wu and the North Gate Bachelor.

The emperor was not unaware.

But in many things, the plan is extremely perfect, but when it comes to it, there are always mistakes and omissions.

The Turks were not so easy to exploit.

Those people in the Demon Gate are also not so easy to take advantage of.

……

Liu Jinyu closed his eyes gently, tomorrow's emperor's birthday, the key is that all states and foreign ministers present gifts to the emperor.

If the Turks want to do something, the opportunity is at that time.

As for whether they were controlled by the guards or whether they were able to break the control of the guards and finally escape from Luoyang completely, it depended on their lives.

But is it only the Turks who are involved in this matter?

Picking up the news of Honglu Temple again, Liu Jinyu's face became solemn.

According to the news of Honglu Temple, in the past few days, many envoys of Fanbang have gathered together to drink and feast, and most of them will be present.

Only a small number of people who should have arrived but did not arrive attracted Liu Jinyu's attention.

Because these people are the sons of some Turkic chieftains in the northern part of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate.

But now, revisiting this news, the heirs of the vast majority of the envoys of the state gathered for a feast.

When they gather together, is it really a simple feast?

Liu Jinyu slowly flipped through the records above, and her face became more and more solemn.

In this news, there are only some polite drinks and banquets at the beginning, but there is no word in the middle.

You must know that in the past, in the records of Honglu Temple, although it is not enough to write down every word that everyone says, but at least some outrageous words, Honglu Temple has a duty to record.

But now, there is not even half an outrageous sentence in this, it looks normal, but it is too abnormal.

People who are drunk will inevitably say some truths uncontrollably.

Datang controls the world and remotely controls the Western Regions, and most of the interests are seized by Datang.

Greedy and unable to survive, these people will inevitably complain a lot about Datang.

But now there is nothing on this record.

"This is to cover up!" Liu Jinyu raised his head, looked at Li Bi, and asked, "Tianshan Mansion, everything is normal." ”

"Everything is normal in the Tianshan Mansion, but Murong Zhong, the prince of Tuyuhun, has been acting a little weirdly recently, but our people have always only done fixed surveillance, and never done tracking and surveillance, so outside of surveillance, what he did, I'm afraid it's difficult to know for a while." Li Bi said cautiously, but he was sure that Murong Zhong must have done something.

Li Xuan has never had a good impression of the Murong family, and almost everyone under him has the attitude of following him.

They all suspected that Murong Zhong had a disobedient heart, but now was the best time for him to do something.

"I told me before, it must be completed, and after I set off tomorrow, everyone in the family will go to Xifu." Liu Jinyu's face was unusually solemn.

"Whoa!" Li Bi gave up his hand to receive the order, and then he asked in a low voice: "Princess, do you want to notify Zuo Xiang?" ”

Liu Jinyu shook his head and said, "No, these people are just my guesses now...... No. ”

I don't know what came to mind, Liu Jinyu hurriedly said: "Send this note to the next door immediately." ”

Liu Jinyu quickly took out a piece of paper again, and then wrote on it, Chang'an, Ashina.

When Li Bi saw it, he was shocked.

He didn't dare to delay at all, and as soon as he gave up his hand to Liu Jinyu, he quickly ran to the next door.

Almost a moment later, the Lecheng County Mansion already had a fast horse galloping towards the palace.

The place I went to was not the Inner Palace, but the Shangshu Province.

At this time, Shangshu Province is still manned.

In the event of an emergency, you can even summon all the ministers to open the palace gate.

But now it was far from that, and a carrier pigeon soon flew from Shangshu Province and flew directly in the direction of Chang'an.

The Turks finally had the opportunity to arrive in Luoyang together with so many people at one time.

So many Turkic tribal leaders, or the chief's envoys, gathered in Luoyang.

Luoyang is only a thin line away from Chang'an, and they can easily snatch all the descendants of Tuli and Jieli from Chang'an.

Once the descendants of Tuli and Jieli return to the grassland, then the tribes of the grassland will immediately have a new backbone.

At that time, the resurgence of grassland smoke was inevitable.

Moreover, it is not your average beacon smoke.

……

On July 21, the emperor's birthday, the city was full of sensations.

Luoyang City, a scene of singing and dancing, countless people dressed up to go out.

In the East Palace, the prince's car carried the prince, the crown princess, and the emperor's eldest grandson, and slowly went towards the gate of heaven.

Sigongfang, Liu Jinyu accompanied her mother Ouyang Shi, took her son Zhao'er, daughter Xia'er, and the car of Pengcheng County Mansion to the palace together.

Jiashanfang, countless foreign envoys slowly walked towards the palace.

In the Turkic camp, a middle-aged man who looked like a Han official looked up at the Qianyang Palace, and a faint blood light flashed in his eyes.

Guandefang, county officials from 300 states in the world, solemnly headed towards the palace.

Someone turned around inadvertently, a familiar face was hidden under the beard, the green clothes were in pieces, and disappeared in a flash, and the person's face changed greatly in an instant, but he closed his mouth tightly.

At the same time, a fast horse went straight from Chang'an to Luoyang, and the Qianniuwei on it carried a thick military newspaper on his back.

As soon as the city gate was opened, another Qianniu guard was also dressed up, and it was not until half an hour later that he rushed to Luoyang at great speed.

……

In the underground palace of Chang'an Palace in the Han Dynasty, Li Miao opened his eyes calmly.

It was rare for him to sit on the shore and watch such a big show.

Who lives and who dies.
