Calyx Xianghui Building is a building complex, surrounded by double-storey corridors, with novel and lively spatial ideas and magnificent architecture.

The main building is an I-shaped three-storey building with a cloister built outside.

Specifically, the cloister is in the shape of the word "day", and the building is built in the mouth above. The entrance below is an atrium, and the gallery is two stories high.

The whole shape resembles a flower and its sepals.

Now it is the season of falling leaves, and the atrium of the calyx Xianghui Building, the ground is full of red frost leaves, which looks a little inexplicably magnificent and pathetic.

At this moment, Li Longji was pacing in the courtyard of the courtyard, listening to Gao Lishi report to him various important news about Chang'an in the near future.

It can be said that Gaolishi is an extension of Li Longji's purpose, and if Gaolishi is not there, then the current Li Longji can say that he can't do anything. Not to mention controlling the political situation in Chang'an.

"Hmph, that's a lot of fun."

Li Longji snorted coldly and said.

Hearing this, Colliers said cautiously:

"Sage, the slave thinks that King Shou's request is reasonable. This is just a request that at the time of the wedding, outsiders should be dismissed, and the saints and princes should have a meal together. This is a human nature, and the words of the saint's refusal will inevitably be true.

There are very strong rumors in the Ten Kings' Mansion, and they all say that King Shou has a grudge against the saint and wants to make trouble at the wedding of the newlyweds. It's just that the slave feels very strange, since many people know that King Shou is going to make trouble, why don't they know how he will make trouble?

Since he didn't know how King Shou was going to make trouble, how could he deduce that he harbored a grudge against the saint? ”

Colliers talked to Li Longji about his analysis.

Judging from the rumors coming out of the Ten Kings' Mansion, it is obvious that someone is adding fuel to the fire. And the news from the people around King Shou said that King Shou went to the Great Qin Temple to fool around with those Hu people in the Western Regions, eating five stones and messing around.

is very peaceful, and has never been in contact with any civil and military generals, nor has he been in contact with the eunuchs in the palace.

"Hehe, if King Shou wants to deal with me, what good can he do? Who is he in the court? And what cronies does he have in the army?

If he kills me, will he be able to ascend the throne and become emperor?

In the Ten Kings' Mansion, there is not only one Shouwang who has complex thoughts. ”

Li Longji's face was gloomy, and he said meaningfully.

None of his good sons was a fuel-efficient lamp. Not to mention anything else, at least Li Heng has hatred for his father!

So many people say that King Shou wants to rebel, from a certain point of view, it can prove King Shou's innocence.

It's one thing for a person to be angry, but it's another thing for him to be a demon.

It can even be said that King Shou is now the son who poses the least threat to himself. The possibility of inheriting the throne is zero!

Just looking at King Shou's mother is Concubine Wu Hui, and she has died, you know that there is no one in the court who will support him.

"Yes, but it's just a family dinner, I just want to see what tricks he can play. If King Shou had the ability, he would kill the king in front of his brothers!

I promise not to leave a single guard by my side! ”

Li Longji gritted his teeth and said.

He not only wants to eat this meal generously, but also covers the scene, let this wedding banquet go on normally, and show those princes and important ministers in the court that he still firmly controls everything in Chang'an!

"Saint, even if it is King Shou at that time, he will have to search his body, please don't worry about it."

Gao Lishi was so frightened that he hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Well, on the day of King Shou's wedding, all the Nanya forbidden troops such as Jin Wuwei, the prison guard, and the Qianniu guard were transferred out of Chang'an and went to the outskirts of Chang'an to participate in the martial arts!

Even if King Shou has an internal response in the Nanya Forbidden Army, he can't make any waves. In addition, the guards who are responsible for the security of the Ten Kings' Mansion are not allowed to appear in Shengye Fang!

In this way, the cronies who are bought by some people will not be able to appear at the wedding scene! ”

Li Longji said in a deep voice.

"Well, the slave must do it well."

Colliers said with a cross-handed salute.

After all, King Shou's mother is Concubine Wu Hui, and it cannot be completely ruled out that King Shou may have ties with some people in the Nanya Forbidden Army, and he will take risks when the time comes.

On the day of the wedding, it was a foolproof strategy to mobilize these troops to practice martial arts outside Chang'an City, and to solve the hidden dangers with salaries from the bottom of the kettle. It fully shows the level of intrigue of the old coins of Kigo!

Then no matter how much Shouwang makes trouble, he can't make waves.

"Also, the few people who led the troops of the Long Wu Army, including Chen Xuanli and Wu Zhiyi, must be present and stand guard outside the Ganluni Temple.

Other Longwu soldiers who did not participate in the wedding guard must stay in the camp that day and are not allowed to move.

Those who leave the Beiyuan station without an order will be punished for rebellion! ”

Li Longji continued to emphasize.

He started the coup d'état and is very sensitive to these vital matters.

The Nanya Forbidden Army is mixed, and the relationships inside are intertwined. For example, Wei Sanniang, who died this time, has relatives in her family who are officers in the Nanya Forbidden Army, can such an army guarantee loyalty?

Kego simply doesn't think they can play an important role at a critical moment.

"Understood, I won't invite the courtiers this time, right?"

Colliers asked cautiously.

"Yes, no. I just want to see who will come up with tricks this time, it's hard to deal with too many outsiders. ”

Brother Ji suddenly stood still, thought about it, and said in a low voice:

"The people in the Shangshi Bureau are not credible, and there is a possibility that they will be bribed by the prince and poison the food.

There are also good brewing agencies, which are not necessarily credible, and they are also very convenient for poisoning the wine.

Let's do it, the day before the wedding, secretly buy wine in a famous wine shop in Chang'an, and then before the wedding starts, let the eunuchs in the palace taste the wine and divide it to ensure that the wine is non-toxic.

The meals for the wedding banquet were also bought in the best restaurants in Chang'an City on the same day, not made in the palace. Don't forget to pick a random store and look for it on your wedding day! ”

Hearing this, Colliers was almost speechless.

Who would have nothing to do with such idle time!

The drinks at the table where the Son of Heaven is located are all randomly taken from the pot and served after being randomly divided. If the poisoner were to poison this batch of wine, how much poison would be needed?

Can such a large amount not be noticed? Where does King Shou have the ability to make such a big move?

As for buying food in restaurants outside, it's even more outrageous.

Brother Ji thought about it so carefully, it really deserved to start with a coup d'état, and he was really careful to the extreme! It can even be said that he was so careful that he didn't even care about the royal face!

Gao Lishi secretly complained in his heart, but his face was respectful.

Li Longji felt that the things that should be considered had been almost considered, so he nodded slightly and said:

"Just do it, King Shou wants to make trouble, just let him go.

If the other princes also want to make trouble, then let them go.

When the time comes, I will definitely be able to clean it up in one go! ”

……

On this day, Fang Chongyong was not on duty during the day to rest at home, but early in the morning, an uninvited guest came to the house.

This guest was an important manager of the Shazhou caravan, responsible for the transportation and distribution of smuggled goods from Hexi to Chang'an.

He assumed the pseudonym "Antioch", a Persian, and was also in charge of the temple of Daqin Temple in Yining Fang.

Although Fang Chongyong had resigned from all duties in the caravan and no longer took over any affairs, Antiochus still often sent people to his house to ask how to deal with some caravan matters.

It's just that this time, Antioch, a fat man who eats a lot of fat in Chang'an, actually came in person, which is a little puzzling.

"Fang Yuanjun, after you leave, things in the caravan are going to be messed up, do you really care about this?"

Wearing the gorgeous brocade robes often found by wealthy merchants in Chang'an, except for his hair and facial features, Antioch's words and deeds are no longer any different from those of the Han people, including the way he speaks and his accent.

"If you don't have a history of Shazhou assassination, no one will listen to what you say."

Fang Chongyong smiled and laughed at himself and said, took out the "fried tea" to entertain Antioch, and the etiquette of the meeting between the two was very casual.

"That's right, it's just that the newly appointed Guazhou Thorn Shi is biting the business route, which makes us very embarrassed. His father is the left minister of the imperial court, and we can't just slaughter him.

Today, I came to ask Fang Envoy, how to deal with this person? ”

Antioch made a neck wiping motion. Obviously, they didn't take an ordinary border town assassin in their eyes at all, and anyone who stood in the way of wealth would die.

Even if he is a fat man who is easy to talk, the knife of Zhenqiu Ba on the west side of the river is not easy to speak, and it is not a question of who is looking for trouble.

"Let him go crazy, and he will definitely kill himself in the end, just ignore it."

Fang Chongyong waved his hand and said disapprerovingly.

However, his asking price is really high, and he even wants Fang Envoy's share.

The money was used by the Shazhou Doulu Army to support the orphans and widows.

If it moves, not only Shazhou, but even several other armies in Hexi, except for the Chishui Army, may mutiny! ”

Antioch frowned and said, many things are not as easy as Fang Chongyong said.

If Fang Chongyong's share of the "fund" left behind was swallowed by Shi Shi, this would set a very bad precedent.

Since Zhang Xiancheng, the new Guazhou Thorn History, wants to eat one portion, should other Thorn Shi in Hexi eat more?

At the beginning, it was Fang Chongyong who set an example, so the states would take a part of the caravan income to compensate the orphans and widows in the military households. Zhang Xiancheng set this precedent, and the high-level military and political leaders of the states who had been eyeing them for a long time couldn't help but reach out to touch the money.

Then the fundamentals of Hexi's military affairs will not be able to stabilize. Hell knows what's going to happen next.

And once something happens, it will be all of them who are unlucky, even including Brother Ji who can get money without doing anything!

"Haha, let him go, if he is not in his position, he will not seek his own government. Now, he is already a halberd in Xingqing Palace, just watching the door for the saint. ”

Fang Chongyong laughed, obviously not planning to pick up.

"Speaking of Xingqing Palace, there is a confidential matter recently."

Antioch lowered his voice and muttered in Fang Chongyong's ear for a long time.

"King Shou bought that heavy treasure from the Western Regions, and learned how to use that thing, I'm afraid it's ...... There must be a picture. ”

Antioch said with a wink at the other party.

"Does anyone still know about this?"

Fang Chongyong asked softly, his tone was very calm, and he didn't seem to feel strange at all.

"There's no one left. In order to avoid suspicion, a certain person has already taken action himself and erased the marks on things.

Besides, this thing is an antique, and anyone can get it. ”

Antioch said with a smile.

The more he talked about Fang Chongyong, the more confused he became.

After a long time, Fang Chongyong showed a puzzled expression of disbelief and asked rhetorically: "How much money can King Shou give you to let you take such a big risk to do things for him?" ”

Money is important, but if something happens, it's a matter of losing your head. What could be more important than the head?

"What King Shou gave was just gold, silver and jewelry, of course he didn't take it seriously.

However, what the king gave was far from being bought by money. Fang Zhijun couldn't be clearer, the saint was already sixty years old, not many years old. ”

Antioch smiled meaningfully.

"King Chung!"

Fang Chongyong Huo Ran got up, but was hurriedly stopped by Antioch.

"Although the person who came was secretive, he had been to the Ten Kings' Mansion to sell things, and he didn't know how many times.

At a glance, I could see that person was Li Jingzhong, the envoy of the Ten Princes' Mansion! He betrayed the son of today and took refuge in King Zhong!

I'm going to leave Chang'an today, the water here is too deep, and now it's a drastic change that is imminent, so Fang Envoy Jun has to do it himself. ”

Antioch slapped Fang Chongyong's big hand heavily and said.

"If you are afraid of being silenced, tell me your secret. If you have an accident, you have to make a name for yourself and tell your family that you have a debtor.

You're really a pit, thanks to our friends in Shazhou. ”

Fang Chongyong smiled helplessly.

"It's not because Fang Yuanjun is famous for his belief in righteousness, if he changes to someone else, how dare he tell it like now.

It is speculated that on the day of King Shou's wedding, something big will happen in Chang'an! To be precise, it is the place where the wedding is held, and some people will assassinate the saint and follow the dragon's work.

This news is very valuable to the other party, and it can even be said to be life-saving news.

If something happens in the future, the king will tell the truth to his family in Hexi, isn't it too much? ”

Antioch finally told his truest intentions for coming today.

Whether Fang Chongyong told Li Longji about it, or just prepared for self-preservation, it was none of his business as a merchant in the Western Regions!

People like them are in an extremely dangerous situation when they participate in the high-level game of Datang.

If you do a favor, you may be wiped out, and if you make a mess, you may also be wiped out, so it's better not to play and completely mess up, and run away first.

"Understood, then you take care all the way. The loyal king is even ......"

Fang Chongyong remembered that Li Heng killed his wife with a spicy hand, and he was not ambiguous at all when he sent someone to poison him, and he had the heart to remind Antioch, and finally closed his mouth obediently.

"It's nothing, you leave Chang'an first."

Fang Chongyong waved his hand weakly and said.

In a few days, it will be King Shou's wedding, but I'm afraid that this will be a complicated game that fathers, sons, monarchs and ministers all know.

Recently, it has not been peaceful, for example, the Longwu Army, which Ji Ge relies on, has undergone great internal changes. Many of Wu Zhiyi's cronies were imprisoned in the "Beiya Prison" in Beiyuan, where Long Wujun was located, and were censored inside.

This is the earliest "military court" in the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan occupied Chang'an after Taiyuan raised troops, so he placed those Taiyuan veterans here in Beiya, built a yamen and prison, and corrected military law.

In fact, it is obvious why these officers are unlucky.

They served as the backstage of the hooligans and ruffians in Chang'an City, who bullied and dominated the market in Chang'an to collect protection money, steal, rob and even abduct and sell people.

There are too many of these immoral things, and Brother Ji must clean them up.

After all, Brother Ji didn't get a penny of benefits for these things, and he was poked in the backbone and scolded for not governing Chang'an well.

Coupled with Wei Sanniang's case, the dissatisfaction in Ji Ge's heart will explode, which is obvious.

Long Wujun is unstable internally, and there are some princes outside who are ready to move, King Shou's wedding, will there really be an accident?

Fang Chongyong pondered it for a while, and felt that the news brought by Antioch could be prepared quietly, and there was no need to tell Brother Ji.

Since Brother Ji and his filial sons and grandchildren are not fuel-efficient lamps, let's see which of them will burn more vigorously.

With mixed feelings, Fang Chongyong sent Antioch to the door.

However, what he couldn't see was that within half an hour, Antioch, an unusually low-key big fat man, was walking on the side street between Chunming Gate and Jinguang Gate, that is, the longest side street in Chang'an, when he was hit by an oncoming runaway carriage!

By the time he arrived at the nearest medical center, he had completely lost his breath.
