Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 169 The Lighthouse Country of World Civilization, Datang!
The meeting in Zichen Palace ended.

Li Zhi left Li Yiyan behind, and the other five walked out of the hall.

Pei Xingjian and An Yuanshou nodded to Li Yan, without being polite, they discussed the situation in the army in low voices and left.

Dou Lu Qinwang was still immersed in Cui Shouye's death and the ensuing troubles, he spoke the least, and walked away quickly with a blank expression.

Only Li Yan and Qiu Ying were left at the end.

As for Li Yan's words, Qiu Ying's expression changed: "Are you also interested in joining the envoy?"

Li Yandao: "I have long wanted to fight against Tubo. If they dare to fight head-on, they will just learn from the leaders of the pavilions. Now that Qinling is withdrawing on its own initiative, it is better to go there openly than sneaking into this place."

Qiu Ying frowned: "I heard that you practiced kung fu all day long, so you must have been prepared for it, right? There was a monk in the Tubo envoys, who was very skilled in martial arts. Quit, do you want to follow what he did?"

Li Yan laughed: "He really inspired me."

Qiu Yingdao: "I also believe that you can retreat unscathed, but what if you go to Tubo to make a fuss? Since Qinling retreated, he is obviously a brave and resourceful person. In his territory, there are plenty of ways to get you Returned in vain."

Li Yan said secretly: "This is the failure of the intelligence department..."

Qinling was the second son of Lu Dongzan, and his elder brother Zan Xiruo, after Lu Dongzan's death, inherited the position of Dalun, that is, the prime minister of Tubo.

There are two brothers, a prime minister, a general, and three younger brothers who are all in important positions. Zanpu will be a ghost if he is not ostracized.

After the elder brother Zan Xiruo died, Qinling succeeded to the throne and became Dalun, which became the "Lunqinling" known to later generations.

But this kind of succession made him weaker.

Because compared to his elder brother Zan Xiruo's literary and administrative ability, Qinling is a bit like Di Qing, with extremely high military talent and extremely low political literacy.

When Zan Xiruo was there, he cooperated perfectly with Qinling in both literature and military affairs, causing Datang to suffer consecutive defeats.

When Qinling became the prime minister, his military virtues were still abundant, Wenzhi pulled his hips in an instant, and in ten years he governed the land of Tuyuhun to the point where the people were in dire straits.

That was also one of the reasons why Guo Yuanzhen's divorce plan took effect. In the end, the Tubo people rose up and killed their own God of War.

If Li Zhi hadn't removed the inner guards, the situation of the Qinling brothers would have been thoroughly understood by Tang, but now they remain on the surface.

Pay attention to the enemy, but overestimate it.

Of course, you can't blame Liangzhou merchants for everything. Li Yan couldn't say it clearly, so he smiled: "As Li Gong said, there is no reason why such a major event can be accomplished overnight. I don't want to make much credit for this trip. Go make a way."

Qiu Ying thought about it carefully, and said in a low voice: "You are still young, and you are in a high position suddenly, there are indeed risks, especially after investigating the Jiangnan case, Li Sichong and Cui Shouye were killed. It’s good to just avoid it, lest His Majesty ask you to do anything..."

Li Yan smiled: "Don't worry, Uncle Qiu, I know."

Qiu Ying reminded again: "You still need to ask Mr. Li's consent for this matter. He is dedicated to serving the public. Your Majesty respects him and will respect his wishes."

Li Yan said solemnly: "I also admire people like Li Gong the most. If I can protect him when he comes and goes to Tubo, it will not waste my hard work in practicing!"

Qiu Yingxin said, "Good! Good!"

The two left the Daming Palace, and after getting on their horses, Li Yan suddenly said, "How is Uncle Qiu's question about Shen Jiyi?"

Qiu Ying's expression changed slightly: "Yuan Fang, are you still suspicious of Ju Yuan? I can assure him that he was definitely not the one who killed Jia thief!"

Among the eight people who interrogated Jia Sibo, four of them were inner guards.

In addition to Huang Zhen and Zheng Jing, there are two other people who are Qiu Ying and Shen Juyuan.

Since Qiu Ying was wounded by Xiao Ling's poisoned knife in Liangzhou, his body has deteriorated greatly, and he is the least suspect.

Moreover, the reason for interrogating Jia Sibo was also because of Shen Juyuan's proposal, hoping to find out the transmission route of how the Longyou spies would notify Tubo.

Shen Juyuan was an opportunistic envoy single-handedly selected by Qiu Ying. When Li Jingxuan was exerting influence, Qiu Ying asked him to ask Li Yan if he needed help. Obviously, he was treated as a confidant, and it was naturally uncomfortable to be suspected at this time.

Li Yan explained: "This case has too much to do with it, and I also cleared the suspicion for him."

Qiu Ying smiled wryly: "Of course I know that you have no malicious intentions, but this person has a single-minded mind. If you check him, he will think that you don't believe him and will make trouble. He was brought out by me alone. If you do something else It’s all right, but it’s absolutely impossible to take refuge in Tubo!”

Li Yan reminded: "Uncle Qiu, it's not enough for you to know his character, the sage will remember this!"

Qiu Ying's complexion changed again, and she said in a very low voice, "Plum Blossom Internal Guard?"

Li Yandao: "There is no evidence, it's just speculation."

In fact, Li Yan's speed of knowing is faster than the average plum blossom inner guard.

After the sage made a decree, Ming Chongyan told him that the inner guard of Meihua began to investigate the murderer who killed Jia Sibo.

Apparently this matter touched Li Zhi's sensitive nerves, so he let it go on the surface and investigated it secretly.

In the beginning, the existence of the Plum Blossom Internal Guard was revealed to Li Yan by Qiu Ying, and now he sighed and said, "Okay, I'll let him explain it to you."

Li Yandao: "If the thief can be caught before the mission, everyone can feel at ease, otherwise it will always be like a stick in the throat."

Qiu Ying nodded: "That's true."

Seeing the imperial city in front of him, Li Yan asked again: "Uncle Qiu, how are those Subi women from Jia's Mansion in Liangzhou doing in the Ministry of Rites?"

Qiu Ying almost lost her memory: "You said at the time that you would take care of them, and I told the officials of the Ministry of Rites carefully."

Li Yandao: "It was originally inconvenient for me to contact them, but now that I want to go to Tibet as an envoy, if I can get in touch with the Subi clan, that's also my idea. I want to go and see them."

Qiu Yingdao: "I'll ask Zaisi to go with you. He is a doctor in the Ministry of Rites. It is much more convenient for him to come forward in this matter."

As Li Zhi's confidant, Qiu Ying personally promoted two of the twelve envoys when the inner guard was re-established.

One is Shen Juyuan who was born in Zhechong Mansion, and the other is Yang Zaisi who works in the Ministry of Rites.

After Qiu Ying notified, Yang Zaisi arrived quickly, with a round face, smiling before saying anything, and very enthusiastic: "Li Jiyi, just ask if you have something to do, I'm here on call, don't be polite!"

He took Li Yanlai to the back of Liubu, and soon came to the Taiji Palace. Li Yan was a little strange: "Is the woman Supi in the palace?"

Yang Zaisi said: "Their identities are criminal daughters, and they were arranged in the Ye Court, but it was the residence of the former court ladies."

This is obviously the effect of greeting, Li Yan nodded slightly.

Yeting is not only the place where the female relatives of the criminals served their sentences, but also the court ladies lived in it in the past.

Later, Li Zhi and Empress Wu moved from Taiji Palace to Daming Palace, and the maids also moved there. Many places here were abandoned.

Li Yan followed Yang Zaisi and walked all the way in under the escort of the imperial guards. Before he reached the place, he heard the sound of books coming from ahead.

It was all women's voices.

Li Yan raised his brows, and said softly to Yang Zaisi: "Don't disturb them, I'll go and have a look."

Yang Zaisi gestured to the guards, and the guards parted ways, and Li Yan walked up.

In a room under the corridor, there are more than [-] girls, big and small, studying.

The woman on the podium is like a female doctor, teaching them to read and write.

Li Yan watched quietly by the window.

The last time Jia Sibo failed the ranking was five years ago, and it was from then on that he began to train Liniang, and then one after another from the caravans in the Western Regions, he recruited down-and-out noble girls from Supi, taught them to read and practice calligraphy, and became Spy.

At this time, reading and writing have also become their spiritual pillars. Their voices are neat, their eyes are focused and bright, and they are all immersed in the copied books in their hands.

Li Yan watched for a moment, then knocked on the door.

As soon as the sound in the room stopped, the girls didn't dare to move, they sat where they were, and looked out timidly.

Li Yan waved his hand to tell the guards not to scare them, and waved at the female doctor.

The woman took a deep breath, walked out with steady steps, saluted and said: "I don't know what your order is for Mr. Zhu to come?"

Li Yandao: "Did Jia Sibo give you the name Zhu Niang?"

Zhu Niang was slightly sad: "Yes."

Li Yan didn't mention Liniang, and asked, "Do you still remember your original name, Su Pi?"

Zhu Niang thought for a while, and finally said a strangely pronounced name, and then said in Chinese: "Lang Jun, you can call me Wulu Zhuyu."

Li Yandao: "Meilu is one of Su Pi's noble surnames, do you still want to go back to Su Pi?"

Zhu Niang immediately shook her head: "Su Pi is gone, now there is only Sun Boru, I don't want to go back!"

Li Yan understands that he thinks that the life of captivity without freedom is a good life that these foreign women can only dream of.

Li Yan immediately changed his words: "Then you want more Su Pi sisters to come to Datang?"

Zhu Niang's eyes lit up: "Is it really possible? Many people in my clan must really want to come to Datang!"

Li Yan nodded: "Of course, I will ask the officials of the household department to obtain some naturalization laws. You can see for yourself. You can read and write. Are there many women in your clan who can read?"

Zhu Niang said: "There are quite a few people who can read. Of course, the writing in our family is relatively simple, not as extensive as the Chinese in the Celestial Dynasty."

With a smile in his eyes, Li Yan encouraged him: "Since you can read, you might as well write more letters. These letters will be brought to your clansmen, so that they can also appreciate the beauty of the Tang Dynasty."

Zhu Niang nodded again and again, and looked at the girls in the room: "I'll let them write together, some books my tribe will definitely like, we can write them down in Subi script and bring them there too!"

Li Yan expressed his approval: "Your Subi was annexed by Tubo, and the tribe was oppressed and exploited. I believe they must be very confused at this time. My profound and profound culture in the Central Plains is also a light to guide them."

The lighthouse country of world civilization, Datang!
Zhu Niang was full of excitement: "If you can help them out of the sea of ​​suffering, I would like to thank you for your kindness!"

Li Yan smiled: "You don't have to thank me..."

For the promise with Liniang.

Also for the daughter king in my heart!
