People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 579

Outside the Chunming Gate, on the Bahe River, three huge official ships were docked on the shore of the pier.

One person was wearing a dark green robe, with a wooden hairpin in his head, with a bitter expression on his face, standing on the front bow of the ship, somewhat at a loss.

Behind him, there were several Jinwu Guards guarding with knives, but their eyes were full of jokes.

Under the city wall in the distance, the crowd coming and going on the pier kept pointing at him, and from time to time, someone spit on the ground and cursed.

Even if they couldn't hear it clearly on the bow, they knew that the scolding was definitely not a good thing.

Especially Chang'an people's unique cursing, it really sounds very interesting.

……

On the pier, Li Xuan, who was dressed in a black gold silk robe, turned his back to the bitter Qin blunt horn above him, and was explaining to Qin Jun, the captain of the Jinwu school, in front of him.

"The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment should continue to watch over it. If it doesn't work, join forces with Qianniuwei." Li Xuan warned Qin Jun in a low voice.

"Don't worry, the Jinwu Guard is still holding on to this matter. If it doesn't work, then General Cheng will step in." Qin Jun chuckled twice.

Jin Wuwei turned his head to stare at the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment, it was Li Xuan's decision.

In the case of the Turkic royal family fleeing from Chang'an, the King of the East China Sea had already shown his special interest in the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment, so Li Xuan concluded that the King of the East China Sea would definitely attack the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment.

This is the opportunity for Jinwuwei.

While the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple, and other ministries were relentlessly staring at Liu Guangye's case, the Jinwu Guard had already changed direction.

Qin Jun had to admit that this strategy was quite clever.

Although the investigation of Liu Guangye's case by various ministries is secret, the information revealed by some channels shows that the investigations of all parties have begun to stagnate.

Although it cannot be said that this is a dead end, it is already easy to make progress.

All parties are good at investigating cases. Although Di Renjie is excellent, it is still hard to say whether he can find clues in the hands of the King of the East China Sea.

When Qin Jun smiled, Li Xuan knew what he was thinking.

Cheng Chubi was an important minister trusted by Empress Wu, and his level was even higher than that of Ming Chongyan and Zhubeimen scholars.

If he was willing to face up, then even if Pei Yan and Pei Xingjian arrived, they would be able to keep the things that the Jinwu Guards found.

But if Cheng Chubi compromised with Pei Yan and Pei Xingjian, then Jin Wuwei would have to hand over the King of the East China Sea even if he captured it.

But when that time really came, it meant that Empress Wu knew about it.

"Be careful, the king of the East China Sea has been safe and sound until now, and there are many capable people under his command. Don't be accidentally buried by others." Li Xuan couldn't help but mention something, Qin Jun's face was instantly solemn, and then he said seriously. Nod.

"That guy Li Xian asked me to bring you a sentence. He can't come to send you off today, but you have to send some more to Yingwang's mansion for the things you said last time." Qin Jun asked curiously: "What do you want?" What did Li Xian send?"

"Some playthings unique to the southeast." Li Xuan waved his hands, then sighed softly, "If he wants to play now, let him play more."

Li Xian still has a lot of fun to play now, but in two years, he might not be able to play just because he wants to.

Qin Jun nodded, then looked over Li Xuan's shoulder, landed on the big boat behind him, and warned in a low voice: "I asked some old soldiers who took a boat across the sea to Silla, although the wind speed is fast in winter, it is still It's also very dangerous, so be careful."

The corners of Li Xuan's mouth curled up slightly.

Now, in the eyes of Qin Jun and the vast majority of people in the ruling and opposition parties, the emperor sent Li Xuan as the deputy envoy of the Jiangnan Dao army, and he probably had the intention of sending him to the East Island to fight against Silla.

However, they didn't know at all that this matter itself was a cover, and their thinking this way was exactly what Li Xuan and the people in the center wanted to see.

Li Xuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I know it well, but it's Chang'an, you help me keep an eye on it, Qiu Guan Shangshu seems to dislike me, my Yue Weng is watching the things above, but I'm worried , He was doing something secretly, talking about things about our family."

Qin Jun immediately became awed. The Qin family did not inherit Qin Qiong's title. Compared with the Cheng family, the past few years have been even more terribly lonely.

The same goes for Yuchi's family.

However, the skinny camel was bigger than the horse, and the joint efforts of several companies opened a new trade route on the Western Region trade route.

If Pei Yan really set his sights on this matter, the few of them had no choice but to fight hard with Pei Yan.

Because the lifeblood of this business route is not in their hands, only in the hands of Li Xuan.

Without Li Xuan, there would be no such trade route.

"Don't worry, I can't take care of big things, but I will help you take care of these small things about the caravan." Qin Jun immediately became serious.

He is different from Yuchi Xunyu, he and Li Xuan were younger, and he will stand on Li Xuan's standpoint even more on these matters.

On the other hand, Yuchi Xunyu, who originally joined the army in Prince Yong's Mansion, thought that Li Xian would be more prosperous after he became the crown prince, but he never expected that in the month before Li Xian became the crown prince, there were countless people who frantically took refuge in Li Xian. Xian.

Although Yuchi Xunyu was the grandson of Yuchi Jingde, but to be honest, he was not taken seriously in Prince Yong's Mansion.

He himself is not Li Xian's confidant, and his relationship with Li Xian is far inferior to that of Li Xuan.

"So, I'm relieved!" Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, then he looked in the direction of the city gate, and said in surprise: "Hey!"

Under the city gate, a scarlet official came out on horseback first, followed by a group of officials from the Ministry of War.

Li Xuan's eyes opened suddenly, her face full of disbelief: "Come here."

Lai Sui brought a group of soldiers from the Ministry of War to Li Xuan, and bowed his hands to him earnestly: "Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Lai Sui, has met the King of Nanchang."

Li Xuan quickly pulled it up and asked curiously, "Brother, come on, why is it you who came this time?"

This time Li Xuan went to Yangzhou, and the Ministry of War, Ministry of Households and Ministry of Industry would send staff to accompany him.

After all, it was the imperial court who sent reinforcements to Silla. Although Shi Dou Xuande, the governor of Yangzhou, was in charge, all aspects of the military department were involved.

The Ministry of Industry is responsible for ship repairs, and the Ministry of Households is responsible for conscription. Although they are not in charge, they must be supervised.

"It seems that Brother Lai really made up his mind this time!" Li Xuan sighed softly, this time Laijia really wanted to intervene in the military affairs.

Although most of this time is a cover, or to put it nicely, it is a strategic fraud, but after all, a group of people will go to the East Island to support and assist in the withdrawal of troops.

"I always have to take one more step up." Lai Sui smiled, a gleam of clarity flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Li Xuan nodded in amazement. In fact, Lai Sui had long been willing to let go, but in the early days, he was an official of Li Hongdong Palace. in the struggle.

Now that Li Hong has passed away for a long time, Lai Sui's label of Li Hong's official has been completely weakened, and now is the best time to go out.

In addition, although the war on Dongdao was dangerous, it was much easier than the battle with Tubo.

"Brother, please!" Li Xuan stretched out her hand, inviting her to come and board the boat.

"I'll ask 27 Lang to take care of you in the future." Lai Sui smiled and cupped his hands at Li Xuan, then waved and led the people and soldiers of the Criminal Department to board the second ship together.

People from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Households came one after another. It made Li Xuan feel a little pity that the person from the Ministry of Households was not Han Jiang.

……

"Secretary Xue Zhongzhang, I have met the prince!" Xue Zhongzhang bowed deeply to Li Xuan in a dark green official robe.

Secretary Lang, under the fifth rank, Secretary Provincial Officer, Wu Chengsi's subordinate.

Li Xuan bowed his hands very politely, helped Xue Zhongzhang up, and said seriously: "Xue Lang, please rise, this time I will trouble Xue Lang."

"My lord, you're welcome." Xue Zhongzhang bowed his hands slightly to Li Xuan, and then took a group of officials from the Ministry of Zhongshu and the Secretary of State to wait on the big boat.

Li Xuan's trip to the south this time is different from the last time. Last time, he went directly to Wuzhou to take up his post, but this time, in addition to serving as the deputy envoy for raising troops, he also served as an imperial envoy responsible for proclaiming the edict.

In addition to keeping the imperial decree and official seals, the people in the Ministry of Zhongshu and the Secretary of the Secretariat also take on the responsibility of supervision.

Dou Xuande, as the governor of Yangzhou, is the governor of Yangzhou. This time, he will serve as the ambassador of Jiangnan Dao, responsible for the support of the entire Jiangnan Dao to Dongdao.

The inspectors of the Ministry of Education must follow.

The blunt angle Gan on the bow saw so many people, his face was already full of embarrassment.

Although Silla intends to defeat Datang this time, more importantly, it still has to cope with the war between Tubo and Datang.

There was already clear news that Datang was going to withdraw troops, so they wanted to ruthlessly tear a piece of meat from Datang's body when Datang was withdrawing troops, but they never thought about it, and they wanted to have a full-fledged relationship with Datang again. Go to war.

Right now, the imperial court is making a big move, expressing its intention to reinforce the Anton Governor's Mansion.

Especially now that winter is approaching, if the Tang army does not withdraw before the end of October, then they are likely not to withdraw, and will continue to be in a long-term stalemate in Dongdao and Silla.

This is the last thing Silla wants to see.

In recent years, Datang and Silla have been at war, and Datang has spent a lot of money, but Silla is not much better.

Even to put it bluntly, Silla has only its last breath left.

It is precisely because they are sure that Datang will withdraw their troops that they dare to take action, but if Datang is provoked, instead of withdrawing, they turn around and send a large number of soldiers into Silla for a decisive battle with Silla. bad luck.

This is not the scariest thing, the scariest thing is that Datang suspended preparations for fighting against Tubo.

It would be too terrifying if Datang was ready to desperately mobilize his forces to destroy Silla.

Although the people of Silla were not worried that they would be able to destroy the country by increasing the troops of the Tang Dynasty, but if there was another war, the last bit of family property of the people of Silla would be completely destroyed.

This is the last thing a sensible person like Qin obtuse angle wants to see.

Especially this time, they just wanted to take advantage of the war between Datang and Tubo to make some money, but if because of being too ruthless, they attracted the attention of Datang for Tubo, then the loss outweighed the gain.

Chin Obtuse Angle has some regrets now, but these things are not something he can stop, because these things were already doomed when the Tibetans arrived in Silla at the beginning of the year.

Li Xuan looked up at the remorseful look on Qin Gan's blunt horned face, a trace of hatred flashed deep in his eyes.

People in Silla have always kept their promises, and it is common for them to keep their promises. If they don't treat them well, they won't feel the pain.

Now Li Xuan somewhat understood why Li Zhi dragged the Wa people into this war.

With the Wa people behind, the Silla people were worried, so they would not attack Datang with all their strength, and Datang could do it safely.

In doing this, Li Zhi wanted to see, besides leaving the seeds for his future attempt to destroy Silla.

In the two countries of Silla and Wa, how do dogs eat dogs?
