Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 446
"So, Park Jung-eun was supposed to come back. A child born to a foreign woman who left the inner guard long ago is extremely embarrassing and cannot be taken seriously, but he has the blood of the former Sui royal family, which can attract the inner guard. high-level attention."

Guo Yuanzhen understood the ins and outs, and said solemnly: "Liulang, this case will not involve the remnants of the former Sui Dynasty, right?"

Li Yan shook his head: "Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty perverted his actions, causing great chaos in the Central Plains, and the wars and disasters were rampant, and people's hearts were lost. Now that the Tang Dynasty has established the country for more than [-] years, the country is prosperous and the people are peaceful, and the world is peaceful. Those who want to restore the previous dynasty are all fools. You delusional people, don't bother!"

Guo Yuanzhen said: "That's right, those idiots can't do anything at all, they can kill the entire Changsun family without anyone noticing, and they haven't shown their feet yet, it's too powerful, but even if this person doesn't want to restore the country, Perhaps it is also closely related to the former Sui Dynasty, otherwise it would not be enough to win the trust of Park Jung-eun..."

Li Yan agreed: "This is very possible. According to what I know so far, Park Jong-un is a loner. Except for being close to his father Yang Wenhui, he rarely interacts with his mother, so his other family members have not gained much. Useful information, such a temperament, let alone simply trust outsiders."

Guo Yuanzhen speculates: "Maybe it's not that I'm withdrawn, it's because I knew I was from the Central Plains, so I didn't fit in with Silla's family. Later, I made a mistake, but I showed my strength, and was appreciated by Jin Famin, and finally became Jin Renwen's chief bodyguard. An opportunity to go to the Central Plains in an open and honest manner."

Li Yandao: "We don't know whether it's painstaking planning or a mistake, but no matter what it is, he must have a strong sense of guard when he arrives in a place he doesn't know well."

Guo Yuanzhen said: "I'm wondering now, how did the person who instigated him know that he was of the Yang family's blood in the first place? This should be a very secret thing. Park Zhengen will not foolishly tell others. He should also be There is no token..."

Speaking of this, he let out a light sigh, and his eyes lit up: "Could it be that his father Yang Wenhui really left a token, so that he could get in touch with a certain high-level person in the inner guard?"

However, Guo Yuanzhen was a little discouraged when he thought that there were so many high-level officials before the dismissal of the inner guards, and many of them were no longer in the world.

Li Yan smiled and said: "Actually, there is no need to be so troublesome. It starts from the highest level of inner guards and goes down one level at a time."

Guo Yuanzhen didn't realize it for a while: "Isn't the highest level of the inner guard chief Sun Fuji? The clansman of the Changsun clan was probably killed by Park Zheng-eun. How could he contact Changsun Fuji? Besides, at the end of the previous dynasty, this The former Zhao Guogong was also the first group to revolt, as the blood of the former Sui royal family, it is inevitable that there will be hostility..."

Li Yan reminded: "It's not the third cabinet leader, it's the previous one."

Only then did Guo Yuanzhen understand: "Mr. Pei County! That's right... this one really has a lot to do with the former Sui Dynasty."

The first chief of the inner guard was Zhang Sun Sheng, and the second was Pei Ju, Duke of Wenxi County.

Pei Ju followed Changsun Sheng's class, further splitting the Turks, and later turned to the Western Regions, and wrote "The Classics of the Western Regions", which is still very useful today, but this person is too catering to his orders, such as letting the barbarians of the Western Regions come to worship , All the counties and counties he passed had to hold grand welcome and send-off ceremonies, which cost a lot of money and exhausted the national power. It was precisely because of Yang Guang's character of great joy that he made great achievements. Evaluation, extremely trust Pei Ju.

This man's mind was poisonous, and later Yang Guang was killed in Jiangdu, and the forbidden soldiers from Guanzhong under his command were homesick. Pei Ju was also by his side at that time. People's favor, so when the king was killed, many courtiers around Yang Guang were killed together, but Pei Ju was unscathed, turned around and turned to Shi Shiran to vote for Tang.

If it ends here, then the evaluation in history is basically a traitorous minister. The key is that Pei Ju later voted for Tang and became an upright and loyal minister. He spoke bluntly to Li Shimin.

So there is an evaluation that "a sycophant who was loyal to the Tang Dynasty in the Sui Dynasty did not change his nature. If the king hates his faults, he will turn loyalty into a sycophant. If the king is happy to hear his blunt words, he will turn a sycophant into a loyal one."

If this kind of person became the leader of the inner guard, no one would believe him if he said that he had not cultivated a team. Li Yan dug out the origin of Park Zhengen, and after clarifying the context, he immediately set his sights on Pei Ju.

After all, among Yang Guang's most trusted courtiers back then, Pei Ju must have been among the top few, and he was also the leader of the inner guard cabinet. The one who sent Park Zheng-en's father back then was probably this one, and the investigation around him might lead to new discoveries.

Guo Yuanzhen admired it sincerely: "This kind of old case, that is, Liu Lang was able to dig to this point. I went to Lingnan to investigate for more than half a year. Faced with the few clues, I really wanted to give up..."

Li Yan didn't have much confidence at first, after all, the time was too long, but fortunately, the twists and turns: "This is the embodiment of the strength of my Tang Dynasty. Is it possible that the king's ministers can't escape the investigation even if they hide in the Japanese kingdom..."

Just talking about Wa Kingdom, he said again: "This time, in order to bring back Park Zheng-eun's family, the inner guards wasted a lot of time there, and the flight route went smoothly. Next, whether Wa Kingdom can become a vassal state is up to you. Responsible."

Guo Yuanzhen was already the envoy of internal guards, and it was enough for him to come forward to appease the Wa Kingdom.

Thinking of the gold and silver offered by the envoy Su Wochi, Guo Yuanzhen couldn't help being a little greedy: "Now there are hundreds of yellow dragon boats at the pier, and they are all here. Do you want to go to the Wa Kingdom for a visit?"

Li Yan said solemnly: "Although the world is flat, if you forget to fight, you will be in danger. Therefore, if you want to destroy Silla and attack Tubo, you must also remember that no matter how big a country is, it will perish if it is warlike!"

"If you attack the Japanese country again, you will be blindly belligerent. Not to mention the fact that the teacher is unknown, the island country is isolated overseas, and it will be difficult to stay for a long time after it is defeated. At that time, the Japanese will return to the country and become sworn enemies. If they are purely for gold and silver, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses. .”

"However, for such uneducated bad people, we can't just let them go. We need to maintain a certain degree of deterrence by force. When the time comes, I will advise His Majesty and issue an immigration strategy for dealing with alien races. At that time, Japan will leave some Quota."

Guo Yuanzhen was taught: "What Liu Lang taught is that if the nobles in the Wa country want to immigrate to our Tang Dynasty, they will naturally bring gold and silver with them. This is indeed more beneficial than blindly attacking!"

"The Suga family is actually a good candidate. They were originally the family of the most powerful ministers in the Wa Kingdom. They have held power for decades. They are even more powerful than the Quan family in Goryeo. Although they are declining now, the emaciated camels are better than horses. Da, as long as this opportunity is given, they will definitely do everything possible to search for local gold and silver, and come to Datang."

"With the example of Su's family, I naturally have a way to make the remaining Japanese nobles fight for a few spots..."

Li Yan said gratifiedly: "As long as I control the speed well, I will be relieved."

Guo Yuanzhen was gearing up: "Liulang, then I'll go!"

Li Yandao: "Don't worry, there is one last thing, go find a painter, we need to correct Park Jung-eun's portrait."

He took out the portrait. According to Jin Renwen's description, Guo Yuanzhen couldn't help but smile when he saw Park Jung-eun's appearance more than [-] years ago: "It's really wrong. This is completely the appearance of Silla people. It's all the fault of preconceived ideas!"

At that time, Park Jung-eun was considered to be a pure-bred Silla, and the painter would inevitably bring some Silla characteristics.

The eyes are slightly small, the face is enlarged, and the facial features are flat. Anyway, at first glance, the accent is like that of Asi.

Excluding prejudice now, if Park Jong-un is regarded as a person from the Central Plains, according to the description of Jin Renwen's confession at the time, what should we do?

Guo Yuanzhen immediately called another painter to re-portrait.

While waiting, the two seized the time to cultivate their true energy. After waiting for more than an hour, the new portrait gradually took shape.

Guo Yuanzhen went over to take a look, nodded and said: "This looks like a Central Plains person, not to mention, he is quite handsome!"

Li Yan took the portrait and looked at it intently, his eyes flickering constantly, and began to compare it with the hundreds of officials he saw in the Great Court, especially the governors from all over the country, those local officials who did not often appear in the capital.

Seeing his focused expression, Guo Yuanzhen didn't dare to disturb him, and when he rolled his eyes, he also recalled it.

If Park Jong-un was really killed, it goes without saying;
If Park Jong-un was not killed, there would be two developments, one would be silenced by the instigator, but failed, he would escape with injuries, and disappear without a trace.
But this person is not Yi Yi's generation, so there is another possibility. This person killed the entire Changsun family, and he also has the handle of the behind-the-scenes messenger. The two parties have reached a deal and have a place in the Great Tang Dynasty.

Twenty years have passed, that capable man who came to Datang as the chief guard of Silla in the past, who obviously has the blood of the former royal family, but can be in close contact with the servants of the Duke's Mansion, may have changed his appearance and looked completely different up.

Guo Yuanzhen waited nervously. After a full quarter of an hour, Li Yan finally looked away and shook his head: "I didn't find anyone similar."

Guo Yuanzhen couldn't help sighing, and then analyzed: "This is also normal. After all, the portrait after the description is no better than what he saw with his own eyes, and the appearance will change a lot in more than twenty years. If we don’t enter Beijing, there is nothing we can do.”

After pondering for a while, Li Yan suddenly asked, "How many people know about you going to Lingnan to investigate the case?"

Guo Yuanzhen scratched his head embarrassingly: "There are quite a lot, Liulang, you know me, you have a lot of friends, and you have been missing for more than half a year. You have to give them an explanation. There is no need to keep this matter secret, and I also brought a With so many subordinates, the news cannot be concealed..."

Li Yan put the portrait and the thick file in the bag, and handed it to Guo Yuanzhen: "You order someone to send this thing back to Luoyang quickly, and store it in the internal warehouse in the name of filing, and keep it safe."

Guo Yuanzhen was stunned for a moment, and then frowned slightly. Thinking of the fire in the capital lawsuit, he immediately understood: "I will definitely hand it over to my confidantes, and store it in the most closely guarded inner vault with the most solemn attitude!"
