Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 451 The books sent by the empress and prince have now become clues
"Chu Yu stay here!"

The revived people discussed their respective political affairs and left with confidence. Li Yan thought of the situation in Tubo, and deliberately left Xue Chuyu to inquire about the current situation: "Before Bu Lun Zanren and Wu Youning fled, the old general Xue set up a lure against Tubo. By the way, what's next?"

Xue Chuyu said helplessly: "Those two people thought they were smart. In order to avoid the land of Tuyuhun, they took the road to the Western Regions. There were all kinds of difficulties and obstacles along the way. Without the help of the inner guards, they would have almost died on the road. Now they have just arrived in the Fourth Town of Anxi..."

Li Yan was stunned for a moment: "My side of Silla has finished fighting, and they haven't even escaped back to Tubo?"

It is not so difficult for Tang Seng to go to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures!

Xue Chuyu sighed: "We didn't dare to guide too much to avoid doubts in Tubo. With these two alone, we really didn't escape back..."

Li Yan could only comfort him and said: "My Tang Dynasty just used troops against Silla. Although the losses in this battle were slight, there was also a lot of loss of food and supplies, and Tubo is no better than Silla. The Qinling of the Gar family is even better at fighting. People, once you go out, you have to go all out, and it’s not bad to rest for a while.”

Xue Chuyu nodded again and again: "Pei Shilang also said the same thing. The longer the process is, the more trustworthy he will be."

"According to the situation reported by the inner guards, since the supply of tea cakes was discontinued, the conflicts between the Wuru tribes have become more and more serious, and bloody conflicts have even broken out. This is all due to Li Ge's leadership in promoting tea products!"

"Based on the current situation in Tubo where people are boiling with dissatisfaction, it is estimated that even if there is no Bren Zanren to return to the country, this bandit country will not be able to hold back, and will come out to plunder..."

Let tea prevail in Tubo first, let the chieftains and nobles experience the benefits of drinking tea all year round, so that they will no longer die from constipation and pain, and then suddenly cut off the supply, which will further intensify the conflicts in Tubo. For the smooth implementation of the plan, Li Yanzi was very pleased: "With the two famous generals Xue General and Pei Shilang taking action, I can rest assured!"

After seeing off all his confidantes, Li Yan returned to the house, hugged Xiao Hei who had been parted for a long time, and rolled up.

The next ten years in history were originally the ten years when Silla unified the Korean peninsula and its national power flourished, and it was also the ten years when Tubo descended from the plateau, repeatedly invaded Longxi, and made the Tang Dynasty suffer several times.

On the other side of Silla, the Japanese country next to it was afraid of the rise of its powerful neighbors, and cut off diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty at that time. No matter how many people drowned, they would not hesitate.

Now that Silla no longer exists, the resistance of the remnants of Goryeo and Baekje has completely subsided, and the Korean peninsula has been completely ruled. The last hostile country around the Tang Dynasty is also the only country that can be said to be in serious trouble, leaving the plateau empire in the west, Tubo.

However, in Li Yan's view, foreign enemies do have to be suppressed, but more importantly, his own strength, so he must first strengthen the confidence of his subordinates, and must continue to improve the system, change injustice, and solve domestic hidden dangers. All kinds of crises are definitely not the opponents of the Tang Tianjun.

After stabilizing his mind, the details of the Changsun family's murder of thousands of people emerged in his mind.

With the blood of the former Sui royal family, his father was Park Jung-eun, who used to be the envoy of internal guards, and the envoy who used him to wipe out the entire Changsun clan...

Just thinking about it, Li Yan frowned suddenly, and said with a smile: "Chongyan, come in!"

Ming Chongyan came in with fluttering sleeves and raised his palms in salute: "Liulang, long time no see."

Li Yan said sincerely: "The situation in the south of the Yangtze River is thanks to Chongyan. In fact, you don't need to hide your identity now. You can come together just now."

Ming Chongyan smiled: "Jiangnan and Di Gong have benefited a lot from Pindao's work, and he knows Liulang's good intentions. It's just that the inner guard of plum blossoms is still useful. It's better to hide it!"

The Plum Blossom Internal Guard has a special status, so he thought too much. Li Yan gave him a reassurance: "After His Majesty's dragon body is in good health, you can consider removing the Plum Blossom Internal Guard, and formally incorporate you into the Yushi."

After finishing speaking, he flicked his fingers, and pierced through the air into Ming Chongyan's palm.

Ming Chongyan felt it for a moment, and showed shock: "What kind of method is this?"

Li Yandao: "This is true qi, which is different from internal energy created by me based on the method of Jingyuan. Here is an internal energy method. Chongyan, you can refer to it and learn by analogy."

Ming Chongyan listened carefully, and was moved: "Liulang is not only the best in martial arts in the world, but also has a broad mind and a master's demeanor! His Majesty's body is saved, and such problems can be easily solved. If the sky falls, Liulang will not be troubled!" "

Li Yan laughed: "You don't have to follow blindly, there are many problems in this world that I can't solve, and this time there is some luck in it... By the way, I also want to find you, and ask about the situation of the leader of the Plum Blossom Pavilion. "

"We also discussed that person before. You said that that person was the one who supervised the officials twenty years ago and allowed the former Duke Zhao to speak out in court."

"Shang Gong is this person's deputy, in charge of cultivating secret spies, and another deputy is on patrol outside. After that person died, you won His Majesty's trust and added the position of deputy cabinet leader, but you have never met the Plum Blossom Pavilion leader... ..."

Ming Chongyan nodded: "Exactly."

Li Yandao: "When we were talking at that time, we hadn't caught Shang Gong yet. Later, I caught Shang Gong's sisters and asked for some clues."

Ming Chongyan was startled: "Sister?"

Li Yandao: "Yes, there are two people in Shang Palace, they are twin sisters. I captured the older sister in Luoyang, and executed the younger sister in Chang'an. Under the interrogation of Shenji, the former gave everything he knew I said it, but I didn't say who the leader of the Plum Blossom Pavilion is."

Ming Chongyan frowned: "Hasn't she also touched the collar of the Plum Blossom Pavilion?"

Li Yandao: "No, of course she has been in contact with it, but because that person is wearing a mask, wearing a large robe, and his voice is deliberately low and suppressed, I don't know which important person in the court that person is, I just know for sure." He is the confidant of former Duke Zhao."

Ming Chongyan narrowed his eyes slightly: "The cronies are very likely, because this person was in charge of monitoring the officials back then, and the officials dare not say that he is wrong, but they can advise the saints."

"However, after the first emperor abolished the inner guard, he left it behind. I am afraid that this person betrayed the eldest grandson Fuji back then, so he can be rewarded by the late emperor and continue to stay in the position!"

Li Yan shook his head: "If it was just a simple defection, the first emperor might not have killed him, but he would definitely not let this person become the leader of the Plum Blossom Pavilion."

Thinking of Li Zhi's mean and ungrateful temperament, Ming Chongyan nodded suddenly, and became puzzled: "Then what's going on?"

Li Yandao: "In fact, I speculated on a possibility. This person may have been the late emperor's person from the very beginning..."

Ming Chongyan's pupils contracted, and his heart felt cold: "But if this is the case, is this person monitoring the behavior of all officials, the late emperor doing it on purpose?"

Li Yandao: "The former Zhao Guogong lost his due role as a minister. The most obvious thing is that you just said that no one in the officials would dare to blame a minister, but they can say something wrong with a sage..."

"This also aroused the dissatisfaction of the old British Duke and other generals in the army. They stood unequivocally by the late emperor. A group of people with military power in the Guanlong family turned to support the late emperor, so that the late emperor could safely abolish the king and queen and confirm the authority of the emperor! From then on, the former Duke Zhao's power flourished and declined, and a few years later, there was a big case of treason..."

Ming Chongyan took a breath of air: "If it is true what Liu Lang said, the late emperor's tactics are really powerful! Let the sharp blade of the inner guard, in turn, deal a fatal blow to Changsun Fuji, then he will stay behind as the leader of the Plum Blossom Pavilion afterwards. , it seems perfectly normal, because I was planning to continue to monitor the officials!"

Li Yan also secretly sighed when he thought of Uncle Dumb.

He has no sympathy for Changsun Wuji. Political struggles have been like this since ancient times, especially for officials who are above the imperial power. Based on Changsun Wuji's actions, it is really not wrong to be killed by Li Zhi. There are too many examples of those who were abiding by their duties during their lifetime, and their family members dared to inflate to poison the queen, so that they were ransacked and exterminated by Liu Bing after death.

But Uncle Dumb is his master after all, he must be biased, not to mention that Li Zhi never thought of exterminating his uncle's family, poisoning thousands of members of the Changsun family in Lingnan, and creating a man who is neither like a human nor a ghost. "Zuo Ming", the murderer of this case, he wants to find him out.

When Ming Chongyan heard about this bloody case, he couldn't help but be speechless: "So, this case was committed by the leader of Plum Blossom Pavilion?"

"This person used to coerce the officials back then, and he was used by the late emperor. Just imagine that if this secret was spread, the late emperor would be fine, but the officials who were teased would vent their anger on this person, so they kept hiding their faces. , unwilling to reveal their true identities.”

"But Changsun Fuji must know the identity of this person. He is afraid that Changsun Fuji will tell his family and it will be spread in the future, so why don't he do nothing and kill the entire Changsun family?"

Li Yandao: "This is only a possibility. The leader of the Plum Blossom Pavilion does have a motive, but if it is really this person, then 'Zuo Ming' should have known about it a long time ago, so that the murderer cannot be found all the time. This is the most difficult thing to explain."

Not to mention "Zuo Ming", the dumb uncle is still alive, if it is really the leader of the Meihua Pavilion who went undercover to him in the past and killed the entire Changsun clan, even if this person keeps silent and is cut off from the world of mortals, he will go find him to take revenge back then Bar……

When "Zuo Ming" was mentioned, Li Yan analyzed that it might be the identity of Changsun Chong's concubine, and finally asked: "Your Ming family almost married Changsun's family back then, and later you were concerned about which family he took in?" Is your woman a concubine?"

Changsun Wuji's eldest son, Changsun Chong, originally married Li Shimin's daughter, Princess Changle. Later, Princess Changle died of illness, and Changsun Chong had the idea of ​​taking a concubine. A matchmaker proposed marriage to the local Ming family.

Although the Changsun family was in full swing at that time, they were serving as concubines after all. Ming Chongyan's grandfather declined because he was worried about ruining his reputation. After the accident happened to the Changsun family, of course he was very happy. Ming Chongyan was very impressed by this matter and immediately replied. :
"We really inquired about it. It is said that he took the daughter of a great Confucian as his concubine, and that great Confucian didn't want to give people the infamy of being rich and powerful, so he kept quiet and kept everything simple. Few people knew about it."

Li Yan didn't have much hope at first, after all, he sent many inner guards to ask the old man back then, but they didn't find out, so he was surprised at this moment: "Which great Confucian is it?"

Ming Chongyan focused on recalling for a moment, showing embarrassment: "I hope Liulang will forgive me! This... I really don't remember clearly, I just remember that I have a high reputation among scholars, and I seem to be writing books for the royal family later, but I don't have much fame recently. , Pindaozhi is not in the Confucian classics, but also from what my father said..."

Li Yan raised his brows: "Compile a book for the royal family? That's easy... Chongyan, follow me!"

Ming Chongyan followed inexplicably, and soon came to a room with neat bookshelves.

Li Yan showed with a smile: "These are all the books presented by the late emperor, the empress dowager, and your majesty. At first, they were selected only, and later they sent over the whole books one after another. Most of the books edited by the royal family in recent years are here. After I moved to Luoyang, I also brought them here!"

Ming Chongyan: "..."

As expected of Liu Lang, the way of searching for clues is so different!
