Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

It’s nothing to oppose the Tang Dynasty before, after all, each has different interests.

But now, the Tang Dynasty has already grasped the general situation and is already the leader of the alliance. As members of the alliance, if they still don’t learn their lessons, Qin Zulai will have to teach them a lesson personally.

You can't disobey.

But you also need to know who is disobedient.

Just now, Aguda used bait to fish and caught Wang Chengdao.

Then after Wang Chengdao became king, some envoys also agreed with him.

Those people are all blind.

Qin Wenyuan will not do anything to them now, but the country they represent has been remembered by Qin Zulai.

How to strike back and how to settle the score later.

Qin Wenyuan doesn't have to do it himself.

He only needed to hand the list to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin and the civil and military officials under him would be enough to make these countries pay the price.

Playing tricks on the Tang Dynasty.

That's really like showing off your sword in front of Guan Gong!
Qin Wenyuan looked at Wang Chengdao and said with a smile: "Master Wang, now do you think we should vote again?"

Wang Chengdao’s face froze.

He glanced at the envoys. Before, only the envoys from small countries supported Qin Wenyuan, but now, some envoys from big countries also supported Qin Wenyuan.

Even if there was another vote, he knew...the number of votes the Tang Dynasty would get would only be more, not less.

He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and shook his head, saying, "I am only trying to cooperate with His Highness Aguda's suggestion. Since everyone thinks it is not necessary, then there is no need for it."

"Your Highness Aguda?"

Qin Wenyuan looked at Aguda.

When the eldest prince of Tiele, Aguda, saw Qin Wenyuan's gaze, he thought of Qin Wenyuan's instructions and suddenly his face became angry.

He pointed at Huang Wang Chengdao and shouted, "Wang Chengdao, what do you mean? It was you who just whispered to me that I should stand up against the Tang Dynasty. It was you who said that if the Tang Dynasty became the leader of the alliance, the first thing they would do would be to deal with Tiele. You said that as long as I opposed the Tang Dynasty, you would all overthrow it together!"

"What? Now that you can't overthrow the Tang Dynasty, you throw all the dirty water on me instead?"

Aguda pointed at Wang Chengdao angrily. Everyone could feel the anger and shame on his face.

When Wang Chengdao heard what Aguda said, he was shocked.

The expressions of those envoys when they looked at Wang Chengdao also changed.

These people are qualified to be envoys, so they are not fools.

As soon as he heard what Aguda said, how could he not know that Aguda was being used as a gun?

It was clearly Wang Chengdao who wanted to oppose the Tang Dynasty.

It’s terrifying to be retaliated by the Tang Dynasty.

So they coaxed the naive Aguda into standing up and opposing it.

Then Wang Chengdao took advantage of the situation and pretended to be a good person to speak for Tiele.

But actually?
He just used Tiele and treated him as a fool.

If the Tang Dynasty held a grudge because of this, it would only hold a grudge against Tiele, and not against Nanzhao!

"It's really insidious!"

"I already knew that Nanzhao was not a good person!"

"If His Highness Aguda hadn't said so, we still wouldn't know who the villain behind the scenes is!"

"It's so damned good!"

"Stay away from Wang Chengdao, otherwise we won't even know we've been sold out!"

Many envoys subconsciously stayed away from Wang Chengdao.

Even the envoys from major countries drew a clear line between themselves and Wang Chengdao.

At this time, they were also wondering... were they also deceived by Wang Chengdao?

Is Wang Chengdao also using them?

At this moment, Wang Chengdao felt deeply what it meant to be isolated and helpless.

Everyone looked at me with suspicion, and no one would believe me anymore.

Finished!

Wang Chengdao knew that at this moment, this time, he had completely lost.

I can't even find an ally!

And all this is because of Aguda, because of this idiot!

How could he dare to tell his secret? How could he suddenly become smart and realize that I was using him——
……

Suddenly, Wang Chengdao’s eyes widened!
His face suddenly froze.

He suddenly remembered something.

Before he went to deceive Aguda, Aguda had met with Qin Wenyuan in private.

Although I got the words out of Aguda, but...is what I got out true?

Qin Wenyuan is such a smart person. How could it be so easy for me to know the content of his private conversation with Aguda?
Is it...

Wang Chengdao suddenly looked at Qin Wenyuan.

He couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's you!? All this... is all you!"

Others didn't understand what Wang Chengdao was talking about.

But Qin Wenyuan's mouth corners slightly raised.

He met Wang Chengdao's gaze, without answering with words, but smiled gently.

In that case, how could Wang Chengdao not know what Qin Wenyuan meant.

He is laughing at himself!

He was laughing at himself as if he was just a funny monkey who was deceived by him!
I have fallen into Qin Wenyuan's trap!
Aguda is Qin Wenyuan’s man!
Aguda was not deceived by himself at all!
They are all used deliberately to fish themselves out!

And now, he was infamous and deserted by everyone, all because of... Qin Wenyuan!

"you you……"

Wang Chengdao suddenly felt cold hands and feet.

Qin Wenyuan is really a devil! A demon!
Looking at Wang Chengdao's reaction, Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"It seems that he and Beichen must have acted independently. Otherwise, with Beichen's shrewdness, he would not have done such a stupid thing that allowed me to easily turn the tables."

Qin Wenyuan and Beichen have fought too many times.

It can be said that no one knows Beichen’s insidiousness and methods better than him.

After Wang Chengdao came to the Tang Dynasty, he was indeed quite capable of stirring up trouble.

Even at the last moment, the Tang Dynasty was almost embarrassed and almost had to hold a re-vote.

From this point of view, Wang Chengdao is still very difficult to deal with.

But this is only true for other people. For Qin Wenyuan, just one finger of Qin Wenyuan is enough to kill Wang Chengdao.

Regardless of planning.

Still calculating.

Wang Chengdao is very different from him, and also very different from Beichen.

If Beichen were to do what Wang Chengdao did, he would definitely not let Qin Wenyuan solve it so easily.

Therefore, even if Qin Wenyuan didn't know Beichen's plan, now he knew that Wang Chengdao...most of them either acted separately from Beichen and had no contact with each other.

Or... she was being used by Beichen to attract attention by waving her claws around.

Regardless of which one, Wang Chengdao failed, Beichen... should also show up. Qin Wenyuan no longer cared about Wang Chengdao. At this moment, Wang Chengdao was no longer of any value to him.

The last bit of his value that was used by Qin Wenyuan just disappeared.

Now, those who should know the purpose of those who still have intentions towards the Tang Dynasty also know it.

Everything that should be done to utilize Wang Chengdao to establish authority and deepen the image of the leader of the Tang Dynasty has been done.

After that, Wang Chengdao was of no value.

As soon as this matter is settled, Qin Wenyuan will deal with Wang Chengdao.

He smiled, without looking at Wang Chengdao again, and looked at the other envoys, and said with a smile: "Since everyone thinks that there is no need to vote, then forget it."

"The Tang Dynasty originally did not want to do such a laborious task, but everyone believed in the Tang Dynasty and was willing to obey the Tang Dynasty. In order not to disappoint everyone, the Tang Dynasty had no choice but to take the position of leader. I only hope that other countries can obey the orders of the Tang Dynasty in the future and give more support to the orders of the Tang Dynasty."

The envoys all nodded quickly and agreed.

"this is necessary."

"Of course!"

Qin Wenyuan laughed, he looked at the envoys and said: "In this case, let's continue. We can't delay at an auspicious time. If you have no objection, then we will continue. If we are interrupted again, you..."

Qin Wenyuan's tone became a little colder: "Even a clay Buddha can still be angry, let alone my Tang Dynasty."

The envoys were all shocked.

But they could also understand that if they were interrupted while offering sacrifices to the heavens, they would definitely be very angry.

Qin Wenyuan is already very kind.

They all shook their heads quickly to show that they understood.

Qin Wenyuan smiled, looked at Li Shimin, and was about to ask Li Shimin to continue, but at this moment, a Qianniu Guard suddenly rushed in from outside.

The Qianniu Guard said to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, there have been several incidents of foreigners robbing civilians in Chang'an. Jingzhao Yin had previously sent a lot of troops out of Chang'an, and now they are short of troops. He requested support from the Imperial Guards to help capture the foreign thieves and protect the people of Chang'an."

Li Shimin couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

In Chang'an, right under the feet of the emperor, civilians were robbed in the street.

This is clearly a slap in the face!
He said in a cold voice: "Immediately send the imperial guards to support them and catch those thieves as soon as possible. Do not let the people be harmed."

"Yes!"

The Qianniu Guard left quickly.

The envoys were also curious about this matter and felt that the thieves were too arrogant to dare to do such a thing in broad daylight.

But they didn't think too much about it. With the guards taking action, those thieves would surely be dealt with and wouldn't cause any trouble.

Xu Gou suddenly whispered to Qin Wenyuan: "Master, many of the guards have left, and His Majesty's security has weakened a lot. The envoys here also have a lot of soldiers and horses. I am a little worried..."

"no need to worry."

Qin Wenyuan interrupted Xu Gou and said calmly, "Something will happen soon. Your Majesty's limited military force will not be able to protect you. Your Majesty will definitely be in danger."

Xu Gou: "..."

What?
He stared at Qin Wenyuan with wide eyes.

Qin Wenyuan raised his lips and said, "His Majesty's shadow guards haven't made any moves yet. Just wait and see. His Majesty's shadow guards will definitely be led away soon. After that... that will be the really interesting time..."

The dog was shocked.

And just then.

boom!
A loud bang was heard suddenly.

The whole earth shook at this moment.

The noise was so sudden that it scared many people.

Everyone quickly looked in the direction of the sound.

Then they saw black smoke rising in the east.

But they were at an inn and didn't know where it was.

"His Majesty!"

At this time, a figure suddenly appeared on the high platform. The shadow guard in flying bird clothes reported to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, there was an explosion at Xuande Gate in the palace. Some people in black are rushing towards Xuande Gate, intending to rush into the palace. The treasury is located near Xuande Gate, so..."

Upon hearing the words of the shadow guard, Fang Xuanling and other officials all changed their expressions.

The money in the national treasury is all taxes that were recently collected.

It is the foundation of Datang’s finances for the coming year.

If the national treasury was robbed, it would be really dangerous.

"Your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling suddenly spoke.

Li Shimin's face also changed, and he hurriedly said: "You must immediately lead the remaining guards to support the palace, and at the same time convey my order to dispatch the army to block the palace and block Chang'an City. Go quickly, and don't let a single thief escape!"

The shadow guard was a little worried: "Then your Majesty's safety..."

"It doesn't matter!"

Li Shimin said: "This is my Tang Dynasty Post Station. I will not be in danger. Go and protect the treasury!"

"Yes!"

The shadow guard was also anxious, and without hesitation, he quickly led the other shadow guards away.

The entire courtyard, because of the departure of the imperial guards and shadow guards, suddenly became much more spacious.

The envoys' faces were filled with confusion. It was obvious that they had not yet understood what was happening and why the palace was in danger.

As for the dog, he opened his mouth wide and looked at Qin Wenyuan in a stammering voice: "Sure enough, everything... is just as the young master expected..."

Qin Wenyuan raised his lips slightly: "Don't worry, this is just the beginning. If they only have this much tricks, I, Qin, will look down on them."

Most of the guards were transferred away.

Most of the shadow guards were also transferred away.

There are not many people left to protect Li Shimin at this moment.

However, this is the post station of the Tang Dynasty, and it needs the protection of the people inside the post station, so although the officials of the Tang Dynasty are a little nervous, they are not too worried.

Although there are too many things that happened today.

But Chang'an is the world's largest city with a population of nearly one million. With so many people and all kinds of people, it is inevitable that some trouble will occur.

So they didn't care too much.

Except for some perceptive people, many people, even many envoys, did not think too much about it.

Qin Wenyuan leaned there, playing with the jade pendant his wife gave him with his fingers. Feeling the warmth coming from the jade pendant, a slight smile appeared on his face.

It is said that jade is most suitable for a gentleman. As the saying goes, a gentleman is as gentle as jade.

Qin Wenyuan felt that he might not be able to be a gentleman. After all, a true gentleman would not be like him, facing the dark side of the world every day and using all means to achieve the interests of the Tang Dynasty.

However, my wife believes that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and she believes that her husband is the true gentleman.

So, Changle gave Qin Wenyuan this piece of jade, and said it was a commemorative gift after their marriage.

She said that in her heart, Qin Wenyuan would always be a gentleman as gentle as jade.

When Qin Wenyuan recalled what his wife Changle said, he felt warm inside.

"My lady has taken the initiative, so I can't delay any longer. It seems that we should put the matter of getting married formally again on the agenda."

Qin Wenyuan glanced at Li Shimin and couldn't help but sigh.

No matter how hard you try to hide, you can't escape it.

He treated Li Shimin as if he didn't exist and didn't want to get involved in the mess, but after all, his wife was the daughter of the emperor in front of him, and he couldn't help but help out out of gratitude, and he still had to call him father-in-law.
