Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 580 tit for tat
Fushimi Hirohito brought three major artifacts with him, and displayed them on the main hall for the officials to watch. After seeing them, the officials were all amazed.

However, no one can see the secret.

Li Longji's face was very ugly. He was eager to get the elixir of life, so he attached great importance to the secrets of the three artifacts.

However, among all civil and military officials, only Li Canghai had comprehended the three great artifacts, yet Li Canghai was sent to Silla to fight against the Japanese, which made him very annoyed.

Feeling upset, Li Longji no longer had any thoughts about going to court, so he waved his hand and was about to retreat.

At this moment, Yang Guozhong suddenly walked out of the court, and bowed to Li Longji solemnly: "Your Majesty, I received a pond report from Silla before going to court. Marshal Li Canghai of the Eastern Expedition did not lead the army on time." The soldiers went to Silla, and, the most strange thing is, all the [-] troops disappeared without any reason."

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials were shocked.

"How could the [-] army disappear for no reason? What's going on?"

"It's strange. Could it be that the [-] troops have grown wings and can fly?"

"I think there must be something strange about this..."

……

Among the ministers, there were whispers, and everyone had a confused expression.

Li Longji, who was just about to retreat, immediately sat back on the dragon chair when he heard the news. He stroked his beard, frowned and asked, "What's going on? Why did the [-] army suddenly disappear?"

"I also find it strange. I asked all the state capitals along the way, but they didn't find the whereabouts of the [-] army, as if the [-] army suddenly disappeared from the world." Speaking of this, Yang Guozhong squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice : "I suspect that Li Canghai was afraid of going into battle to kill the enemy, but he was also afraid of being punished by His Majesty, so he led the army and fled privately!"

As soon as Yang Guozhong said these words, the lake that was already turbulent immediately set off a stormy sea.

Cui Huan immediately walked out of the court, and after saluting to Li Longji, he solemnly said: "Your Majesty! Master Li is a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty, and it is absolutely impossible for him to do such a treasonous thing! According to my opinion, this matter is yet to be investigated! "

The Minister of the Ministry of War and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials also came out of the court and echoed what Cui Huan said.

Seeing that Cui Huan and others were against him, Yang Guozhong frowned immediately, and said, "Lord Cui, the matter is very clear. If he hadn't led the army to flee privately, why didn't he go to Silla to fight against the Japanese?"

Cui Huan glanced at him, and said seriously: "Master Yang, may I ask what is the distance from Yanzhou to Silla?"

"Master Cui, why are you asking this?" Yang Guozhong asked with a frown.

Cui Huan didn't pay attention to him, but turned around and asked the ministers, "Do your lords know how far the two places are apart?"

Minister of the Ministry of Industry came out, saluted Li Longji, and said, "Your Majesty, Yanzhou and Silla are separated by thousands of miles."

Cui Huan nodded, then looked at Yang Guozhong and said: "Master Yang, the distance between the two places is more than [-] miles, and there are even more mountains and mountains in between, but Master Yang only gave Master Li two days. Let him lead an army of [-] from Yanzhou to Silla, isn't it a little difficult for a strong man?"

Yang Guozhong snorted coldly and said, "Lord Cui, are you trying to exonerate Li Canghai on purpose? The situation in Silla is tense, and the Dongying soldiers are approaching the royal capital of Silla. Give Li Canghai two days There is already some tolerance, and the military order is like a mountain, since he is the Generalissimo of the Eastern Expedition, he should solve all difficulties and rush to Silla for support."

After he paused, he made an appearance of righteous words, and said: "Even if he failed to arrive in Silla on time, as long as there is a legitimate reason, the Holy Majesty will naturally forgive him. However, he took three Wan Dajun fled privately, this is an act of treason!"

Cui Huan murmured in his heart that something was wrong, Yang Guozhong's three words were inseparable from treason, and this was clearly intended to make Li Canghai guilty of treason.

However, Yang Guozhong did not stop because of this. He knelt down in front of Li Longji and said sadly: "Your Majesty, you have so much trust in Li Canghai, but he has committed such treasonous things. Your Majesty, please make an order to arrest Li Canghai with all your strength." Return to justice!"

Li Longji's eyes were slightly cold, and he seemed to have begun to believe what Yang Guozhong said.

At this moment, Li Tan walked out of the court and said calmly: "Master Yang, I would like to ask you a few words. Since Master Yang knows that the battle situation in Silla is tight, why did you only give Li Canghai 3 horses? You Knowing that Dongying and Baekje have more than [-] allied forces, but let Li Canghai lead such a small number of people to Dongying, this king is very suspicious of Master Yang's intentions! Are you concerned about the situation in Silla, or are you letting me, a soldier of the Tang Dynasty? Go to die?"

Li Tan's voice was flat, but his words were full of sharpness.

Yang Guozhong's face suddenly became ugly, he didn't expect Li Tan to come out to oppose him again.

Yang Guozhong rolled his eyes, quickly saluted Li Longji, and said, "Your Majesty, King Jianning's words are maliciously slandering this humble minister! Your Majesty is loyal to His Majesty, please be careful!"

Li Longji stroked his beard, frowned and said, "3? Wasn't it [-] before? The [-] is actually a little less. What's going on?"

Yang Guozhong's eyeballs rolled wildly, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I originally planned to give Li Canghai 5 horses, but the Turkic troubles suddenly occurred and they tried to attack our border towns, and they couldn't spare any troops for a while, so we can only give them to Li Canghai temporarily. Li Canghai has 3 horses."

Li Longji snorted, nodded and said: "So, it makes sense."

Seeing that Li Longji had no doubts about Yang Guozhong's words, all the loyal ministers and generals shook their heads and sighed.

Yang Guozhong was clearly talking nonsense with his eyes open. Although the national power of the Tang Dynasty today is not as good as it was ten years ago, its military strength is still strong, so how can it be impossible to draw out troops?
But Li Longji loved and trusted Yang Guozhong, but everyone was helpless.

Li Tan narrowed his eyes, and then said: "So, Mr. Yang should have a follow-up plan?"

With the emperor backing him, Yang Guozhong immediately became proud, and hummed: "It's natural, the [-] army is only for emergency use. I have been dispatching troops and generals for the past two days, and I am going to send a large army to Silla."

Li Tan snorted, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and after saluting to Li Longji, he said seriously: "Your Majesty, since Lord Yang thinks that two days are enough to travel from Yanzhou to Xinluo, why don't you let Lord Yang lead the troops to support Xinluo?" Luo, let the ministers see and see."

Cui Huan and the others saw that Li Tan had tripped Yang Guozhong, they all felt relieved, and at the same time saluted Li Longji: "Your Majesty, the ministers also support what King Jianning said, let Lord Yang lead the troops to Silla to fight against the Japanese! "

Yang Guozhong saw that Cui Huan and others and Li Tan had joined forces to fight against him, his expression suddenly became as if he had eaten a lump of stool, as ugly as he wanted.
