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

Chapter 706 Menxia, ​​Zhongshu, Prince Zhongsheren

In Qianniu Prison, Zhou Gan walked out of the inner cell, facing Li Xuan who was sitting at the stone table in the outer courtyard, cupped his hands and said: "Reporting to the prince, he is from the Wanxiang Pavilion."

Di Renjie asked with surprise on his face: "That's the trick."

Subconsciously, Di Renjie looked back into the cell, but he didn't hear much wailing.

Zhou Qian shook his head lightly, and said: "No trick, but we measured the direction of Yuan Qi in his body. While practicing Buddhist exercises, he also brought up the shadow of Wanxiang Pavilion exercises, and they are extremely authentic."

Li Xuan lifted a teapot from the stone table, poured a cup of warm tea, and said calmly: "I have a demon in my heart, and I was seduced by a demon. The disciples of the Jushe sect are unwilling to have their dharma veins destroyed, so they cooperate with the demon sect. But I don't want to get too involved with the Demon Sect, but the Demon Sect is so easy to provoke, just casually throw a book of exercises in front of him, and he can't help but start practicing the Demon Sect's exercises."

In a few words, Li Xuan had already told all the experiences of this Jushe Sect disciple Daotong.

Di Renjie on the side bowed his head silently. Although he quickly figured out the inside story, he was still a step behind.

"Let's interrogate slowly, I hope he really knows the whereabouts of the man behind him." After Li Xuan finished speaking, she got up and walked out of Qianniu Prison.

Di Renjie sighed softly, stood up, bowed slightly to Zhou Gan, and then left.

Now that it is known that the Demon Cult is interfering, it is not so easy to investigate the shadow behind this matter.

People in the Demon Cult have always acted cautiously.

Not to mention outsiders, even many members of the Demon Sect may not be able to catch them much.

What's more, the Demon Cult's eyeliner has long been aware of the matter of the Da Ci'en Temple, and what Dao Tong really knew was cleared away long ago.

……

On Huangcheng Street, Li Xuan and Di Renjie walked slowly.

Glancing at the Dali Temple in front of him, Di Renjie asked, "Is the lord going to the Yingwang Mansion next?"

"No, I want to go back to Honglu Temple." Li Xuan stopped and said with a smile: "Brother Di, have you forgotten, the affairs of Prince Ying's Palace are just a temporary assignment by the Queen of Heaven. My job is the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple."

"But today is a rest day?" Di Renjie couldn't help frowning.

After all, Honglu Temple's work is relatively leisurely, unlike Di Renjie, even if he takes a rest today, he still has to be on duty to decide the case if something serious happens.

"However, it is still within the purview of Honglu Temple to investigate the secret works of other countries in Chang'an City." Li Xuan shrugged slightly, feeling a little helpless.

Although it is said that Jinwuwei and Qianniuwei were responsible for arresting people in the end, it was Honglu Temple's job to find out the suspects.

This kind of case, after all, involves too many languages ​​from other countries, and the secrets of various information, except for Honglu Temple, other temple supervisors simply cannot handle it.

"Then, does the lord know how to deal with today's matter?" Di Renjie looked straight at Li Xuan.

He and Li Xuan worked together not once or twice, Li Xuan always had unexpected means to solve the truth of the case.

Now, the case of Dacienci seems to have many clues, but if, as Li Xuan said, the Demon Sect had already prepared, then these clues may end up in a dead end, and even lead them into the wrong way to solve the case. It is even more difficult to find out who is behind the scenes.

Looking at Di Renjie's honest eyes, Li Xuan sighed softly, and said, "Brother Di, this case is not because I don't want to continue the investigation, but because the other party really did something wrong, and now I can't find any clues. Even if we do a closer look, it's just looking for a needle in a haystack. Now that the other party is willing to act, I don't mind continuing to act with him. It just buys time for us, until the real..."

"Tat Tat Tat" A burst of rapid hoofbeats suddenly interrupted Li Xuan's words.

Li Xuan and Di Renjie looked back at the same time, and saw a Qianniuwei in black riding fast from the direction of Chengtianmen.

"Huh!" The knight stopped his horse in a blink of an eye, and then rolled over.

Standing in front of Li Xuan and Di Renjie, the knight took out a palm-sized secret book and handed it to Li Xuan, and at the same time bowed and said, "My lord, Di Sicheng, this is sent by Master Shiyin from his subordinates."

"Thank you very much." Li Xuan took the secret book, glanced sideways, and handed it to Di Renjie.

Di Renjie frowned, and immediately opened it, and suddenly saw that the second half of the entire secret book, several pages had been completely torn out.

Several key figures were involved in the case, and the palace did not want Dali Temple to be responsible, so it handled it on its own.

Other dynasties might suspect that the palace was deliberately protecting someone, but Di Renjie believed that the emperor would not, let alone Empress Wu.

Although the two sages came to court, although the ministers were not happy, under the governance of the two sages, the Tang Dynasty was considered to be in good weather, and the country was prosperous and the people were safe.

The emperor was sharp, and Empress Wu was decisive.

Di Renjie was sure that the final fate of the characters involved in the pages that were torn out would never be better than Dali Temple's handling, and it might even be worse.

At this moment, Qian Niuwei took out another secret book from his sleeve, handed it to Li Xuan, bowed and said: "My lord, this is something that my lord asked Qian Niuwei to check before, and it turned out to be here."

"Oh!" Li Xuan showed surprise on his face, reached out to take the secret book, and said in admiration: "Your efficiency is far beyond my imagination."

"Thank you, Lord, for your compliment. I will leave at the end." Qian Niuwei cupped his hands slightly to Li Xuan, then nodded to Di Renjie, then got on his horse, and in a blink of an eye, he was already heading towards Chengtianmen again.

Holding the secret book in his hand, Li Xuan cupped his hands to Di Renjie and said, "Brother Huaiying, I have important matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for any reaction from Di Renjie, he immediately turned around and left.

Di Renjie couldn't help raising his brows. What was it in Nanchang Wang's hand, and how did he get it? His whole person was a little different.

Thinking of this, Di Renjie immediately chased after Li Xuan: "My lord, wait a minute..."

……

Honglu Temple, within the official residence of Honglu Shaoqing.

A huge piece of rice paper was hung on the wall. Under the door, Zhongshu, Shangshu, Rites, Military Department, Household Department, Honglu Temple, Internal Attendant Supervisor, Secretary Supervisor, Eastern Palace, and the top row below all had several names.

"These are 38 people who have access to the content of the covenant between the Tang Dynasty and the Silla Kingdom." Li Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the names above.

"My lord has been waiting for this thing?" Di Renjie looked at these names with some surprise.

"My king has always adhered to the principle that people should stare at what others want." Li Xuan looked sideways at Di Renjie, and said with a serious face: "What the Tubo people want most now is nothing more than to get the Lanzhou Shanzhou of the Tang Dynasty." The deployment of troops on the front line, but these things are hidden very tightly by the Ministry of War, even this king can't find out one or two, and even who can touch these things, this king has no idea, so I can only think from other aspects .”

"The covenant between the Tang Dynasty and the Silla Kingdom, the Tubo people will also be interested... The prince's method is correct. If Tubo's secret information has the ability to get access to the top-secret information of the Ministry of War, then they will naturally have the ability to gain access to the covenant between the Datang and the Silla Kingdom." Di Renjie. Nodding in agreement, he said appreciatively, "Although the prince's method is a bit slanted, he can still achieve his goal by finding another way."

Li Xuan shook her head slightly, and said softly: "Although the idea is good, if there is a wrong key, then it is very likely that all of this is useless."

"where?"

"The premise of all this king's assumptions is Tubo's secret work. Not sure, at least there is a considerable probability that he can get the most top-secret information from the Ministry of War. If this is wrong, Tubo's secret work will not be able to get those things at all. , then he will definitely not be included in this list, and then not only will he be useless, but he may even be innocent."

Li Xuan sighed softly, now the basis for all of his doing all this is in the inner line of the Momen Zaichao, he has enough ability to obtain this information, and then threaten the safety of the entire Tang Dynasty.

If they don't have this ability, then everything Li Xuan has done during this time will be in vain.

If they don't distinguish between true and false, and are led by the nose, then they will also become pawns in the eyes of others

"The Great Tang Dynasty is in a state of panic, the Ministry of War has strict responsibilities, and there are equally many loyal and good generals in other ministries. Those who can get access to these top-secret core information are all veterans of the court who have experienced countless storms in the court for a long time. Who else would leak the secret easily." Di Renjie felt Li Xuan's embarrassment, and at the same time looked at him with some sympathy: "It's fine if there is a result for the matter that the lord secretly suspected, but if there is nothing, the news leaks out, the lord Big trouble."

"So if there is no result for today's item, then this king will have no choice but to burn it." Li Xuan shook his head lightly, how could he not know the sensitivity of this list.

Not to mention anything else, just this list alone is already of great value when living outside.

If someone really knew that Li Xuan was checking them, the reaction would be fierce, and Li Xuan might not be able to bear it.

With his character, of course he would not let people catch him easily, but the key now is to catch people.

Although Li Xuan has now found out the methods that the Tubo people used on the surface with the aid of the Vientiane Pavilion, if they can't find their methods in the dark, then everything will be in vain. Let the Tibetans move again.

Di Renjie looked at the dozens of lists in front of him, and said with a serious face: "How does the lord plan to check, you know, there are many people, probably not due to their own reasons, but many are caused by their wives, children, and people around them."

"Let's ignore outsiders, and investigate these people first." Li Xuan's eyes turned cold in an instant, and said in a deep voice: "First of all, first of all, among these people, those who cannot touch the top-secret information on the deployment of the Ministry of War on the West Front will be excluded first. There should not be many people here, and then, let’s see how many people here can pay attention to the affairs of the British public at the same time, and finally, check their daily expenses..."

Listening to Li Xuan's orderly arrangement, Di Renjie's eyes gradually lit up.

……

Three pieces of paper were placed flat on the crime in front of Li Xuan.

Zhongzhou Zhi, the minister of the province, Cui Fan, a member of Zhongshushe of Zhongshu Province, and Hu Zai, a member of Prince Zhongshe.

At the same time, they were able to know about the covenants between the Tang Dynasty, Silla, and Japan, and also have access to the top-secret information of the Ministry of War.

Therefore, if they want to find out now, the leaker in the court must also be among these three people.
