Chapter Seventy-One: The Queen

After listening to Empress Wei's questioning, Wu Sansi turned over and sat down on the bed, and said: "Xiang'er, don't worry, now that Zhang Cambodia and others are no longer majestic, I will take their lives sooner or later, but this Princess Taiping has to be guarded against, she has never been involved in this major event in the court, and I can't figure out her strength, the more I can't figure it out, the more careful I am." This person is like a tiger to restrain her minions, who knows when she will jump out and bite us? If we change someone else as the prince, how can Li Chongjun be resigned, if Princess Taiping secretly responds, I'm afraid it won't be good, and now I ask Your Majesty to canonize Li Chongjun as the prince, first stabilize him, and then slowly free up his hands to clean up the peace, this Li Chongjun originally had no foundation in the court, and when the time is ripe, he will depose this person. This so-called plan to repair the plank road in the bright and dark Chen Cang is also. Wei Shi thought for a long time and smiled: "What did the emperor say?"

Wu Sansi said: "What else can he say, naturally he agreed, you can take this opportunity to find him to make trouble, he must feel that he can't live with you, and he won't dare to care about our affairs in the future." Aren't you and me happy?"

Wei scolded with a smile: "Good dog, ** also hides a few hearts." Come, this incense will give you this good body. ”

The two hugged each other again, and it was a beautiful scenery.

In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Zhongzong issued an edict and appointed Li Chongjun, the king of Wei, as the crown prince. The Manchu Dynasty civil and military Qi claimed to congratulate. But what is surprising is that this is only the first step in Wu Sansi's conspiracy. Soon, Wu Sansi thought that the time was ripe, so he listed the charges and issued an edict through Tang Zhongzong on the grounds that the five ministers had framed Empress Wei. Exile the Five Ministers to distant frontiers. Huan Yanfan was exiled to Guizhou and killed with a rod, Jinghui was exiled to Yazhou and murdered, Cui Xuanwei was exiled to Baichuan and halfway through, and Zhang Cambodia was exiled to Xiangzhou. Angry to death: Yuan Shu has been exiled to Huanzhou, driven to madness, and later killed, Wu Sansi colluded with Wei to get rid of the five ministers. The arrogance is even more arrogant.

Leaving Wu Sansi and Wei in collusion with each other, the government was not mentioned. Speaking of Laizhou alone, now the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, and all barbarians in the world have come to pay tribute and worship, which is said to be a good thing. But there are pros and cons to everything, and since the envoys from all walks of life to the Tang Dynasty have erudite people like Abe Zhongmaro, there are naturally pickled people who are mixed with fish.

Liu Wenhua, the assassin of Laizhou, has not been able to eat and sleep well for the past few days, why? Because the Dongying ronin is stranded here! Most of the Tang envoys sent from Dongying crossed the sea and landed in Laizhou, and then transferred to Chang'an, the imperial capital.

The area of Dongying is small, the land is barren, and the people are barbaric and ignorant. Therefore, the powerful and powerful all over the country killed each other endlessly in order to compete for food and even rivers and lakes, and many defeated Dongying warriors fled the battlefield and then went to the rivers and lakes, and the place of Dongying was very small, everyone was in the rivers and lakes, and there were many opportunities to meet each other, and they were opponents on the battlefield, but they became old enemies on the rivers and lakes. They still kill each other.

Over time, most of the samurai had the idea of escaping from Toei. At that time, Dongying admired the Tang Dynasty very much, not only did the emperor send envoys to the Tang Dynasty every year to study, but even the princes from all over the country also sent people to the Tang Dynasty in various names to receive enlightenment, and these people were collectively called Tang envoys. Those wandering warriors followed the ocean to Datang as servants, guards, and retinues who sent Tang envoys, and when they entered the territory of Datang, these people did not have a national certificate and were not sent by the Dongying Gong, so Datang would not take care of their food and lodging expenses, and the Tang envoy himself would naturally not spend money to take care of them, so he let them disperse. These samurai wanted to return to China, and they were unwilling to move around the interior but were not entangled, so they were often stranded in Laizhou.

Now there are nearly 3,000 people, most of whom do not speak the Tang language, nor do they know how to make a living from workers, peasants, doctors and merchants, and can only draw knives and kill people.

Although these people have not caused any trouble due to the laws of the Tang Dynasty so far, after a long time, these people will inevitably take risks due to lack of food and clothing.

Liu Wenhua wanted to use the government soldiers to drive these people to other places as a precaution, but his staff thought that it was impossible, first, although these people were wandering warriors, they were after all sent Tang envoys under the pretense of being sent to the Tang Dynasty, and driving them away at will would inevitably affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries; second, these guys were outlaws, and sending troops to drive them away, in case of provoking a popular uprising, it would be a major event of turmoil in the world; third, if they were to be driven away, where could they be driven away? If you drive them to other states and counties, it will become a beggar-thy-neighbor, and the assassins elsewhere will naturally not be able to give up, but they are not at fault, so they can't bomb them all into the sea and drown, right?

In Liu Wenhua's opinion, these Dongying people are simply hungry wolves, who may pounce on them with their teeth and claws open. Just when he was in a hurry, a master gave him a note: those Dongying people were born on the island, they must be proficient in water, and Na Shatonghai is a local tycoon, specializing in shipping, so it is better to tell him and send these Dongying people to his sea ship as sailors or ship guards.

When those Dongying people arrived at sea, the vast ocean was a lonely boat, and they were not afraid of making trouble. Even if it is to make trouble, it is just killing people and robbing the boat, and it cannot be involved on land. This is a good idea, but that Shatonghai has been through wind and rain for a long time, and can he still not see through the intentions? Will he agree?

Rao is heart was worried, Liu Wenhua still asked someone to prepare a sedan chair and came to Shatonghai Mansion. Lord Thorn Shi came to visit, Sha Tonghai did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly greeted the door. Liu Wenhua was not verbose, and when he arrived in the study, he directly explained his intentions. Sha Tonghai was just about to speak, Zhong Xian quietly pulled the corner of his clothes, and Sha Tonghai immediately pretended to look like the frost made the eggplant frown.

Zhong Xian said with a smile: "Master Liu, it is said that my Dongweng is a citizen under the rule of the master, and he should share his worries for the master, but these Dongying barbarians are not educated, and they are very stubborn, and this sea boat is extremely dangerous, in case those Dongying barbarians don't listen to **, it will be a catastrophe of ship destruction and death." ”

Liu Wenhua said angrily: "Don't think that this official doesn't know, is there still less Dongying people on your sea boat?

Zhong Xian secretly glanced at him, and Sha Tonghai said: "Master, don't be like this, master, like this, others still think that there is really something unsightly about our sea boat, but the master has a life, and the villain should come down." ”

Liu Wenhua turned his anger into joy, and said with a smile: "This is like a word! You share the worries of the lord and me, can the lord treat you badly? First, I will allocate 1,000 loads of grain to you, so as not to starve to death of those guys, and make people laugh at Datang's inability to manage food." It's just that those people can't be taken on the ground in Laizhou anymore, you quickly get them away, I don't care where they go, I just can't let me see them again. Do you hear that?"

Sha Tonghai thought about it: "If the lord doesn't want to see them, it's okay to say, there is a Cuizhu Island in the east of Laizhou, the ground is big enough, and it is far away from Laizhou, and the island has abundant fresh water. It's just that Cuizhu Island still belongs to the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and it still needs the master's permission. ”

Liu Wenhua smiled bitterly: "You old sha, you look like Mang Zhang Fei, and you are as careful as Wang Zhaojun, what kind of Cuizhu Island is this, no court official has landed on the island to see it in ten years or eight lifetimes, if you want to use it, what else do you say to promise or not?"

After Liu Wenhua left, Zhong Xian laughed and said repeatedly: "God help me, God help me!" His Royal Highness the King of Linzi just asked us to accumulate strength, and Liu Wenhua sent us 3,000 strong soldiers!"

Sha Tonghai said: "Then why did you shirk in every way just now?" Zhong Xian said: "Dong Weng didn't know, if we didn't shirk at that time, but agreed to it, not to mention the thousand loads of grain Liu Wenhua didn't mention it, and even he would think that we would be of great use with these people, and he would definitely be secretly on guard, then it would be troublesome." Now that he has even coaxed and frightened us to eat this group of people, he must be very proud in his heart, and he is no longer suspicious of us. Let's establish a martial arts training camp on Cuizhu Island, and make these Dongying people a good life, and they will definitely become a strong force. ”

Sha Tonghai said unhappily: "Old Zhong, you haven't seen those Dongying people, all of them are short in stature, or their mother's lap legs, they look like little monsters, what's the use of this kind of thing? I left them on Cuizhu Island and left them to fend for themselves." ”

Zhong Xian Zhengse said: "By all means, although those guys are vulgar in appearance, they have an extremely fierce and aggressive temperament, and these people are all elites who have lived in the Dongying battlefield after a hundred battles, if they can be used well, they will definitely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort." Sha Tonghai was puzzled: "The so-called non-mine race, its heart must be different. If there is something wrong with His Highness, these Dongying people may not be able to be relied on!"

Zhong Xian smiled: "Dong Weng is worry-free, if it is in Dongying, they may escape from the battle." But not here, these people don't know the language, the geography, and the means of making a living in the Tang Dynasty, so they have no way to survive except to die for Dong Weng. Even if things fail and they are caught, they do not understand the language, and it is difficult to interrogate. ”

Sha Tonghai said: "If you say Chang'an, no one can speak Dongying?" Zhong Xian said: "Dongying dialect is naturally something that some people will say, however, Chang'an is not as good as Laizhou, Laizhou people are transported by sea all the year round, and there are many people who understand Dongying dialect, but Chang'an is rare, and when they find out that it is our subordinates, we will already sail overseas, away from Datang, so that they have nowhere to investigate." In the end, the case could only be hastily closed on the grounds that the pirates were on the side. Sha Tonghai was secretly happy when he heard this: "Okay, old Zhong, you can arrange this matter." ”
