Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 77

The gate of Jinguang City opened wide, and a turbulent wave of people rushed towards them.

Zaoyi Wuhou has long maintained order on both sides of the street, but this can't stop people's enthusiasm.

The hero who welcomes Bianzhou to hunt down the enemy thieves is the next step. The most important thing is to prepare rotten vegetables and rotten eggs and smash them hard at those rebels who are making trouble.

The people of Chang'an acted so quickly that the guards protecting Jia Sibo were a beat behind. After he was smashed into a mess, they smiled and protected him.

Such a key criminal who needs to be interrogated strictly cannot be crushed to death.

But the first few prisoners who have been unable to interrogate information are irrelevant.

Sure enough, those spies were quickly drowned in the anger of the people and were stoned to death.

Li Yan watched this scene with joy and vigilance.

The rebels ended up like this, and they deserved to die, but if the situation of this country continues to turn from prosperity to decline, how many rebels will emerge in various places?
Of course, no matter how rich a society is, there are greedy national thieves, but he has only been in Chang'an for two days, and what he saw and heard can be called shocking.

Limited by the backward productivity in ancient times, it is unrealistic to change from the foundation, but Li Yan felt that he should do something when he came to this world to witness a truly prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Compared with Li Yan's change of mind, Qiu Ying nervously pressed the prisoners all the way to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. After the handover was completed, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Pei Sijian took the envoys and settled in the Chang'an post house, and then he himself entered the palace to face the saint.

Before leaving, Li Yan heard that the second sage led a group of ministers and was planning to summon the Tubo delegation in the Hanyuan Hall in a few days.

Hanyuan Hall is the main hall of the outer dynasty. It was built by making full use of the high ground. It is condescending, majestic and majestic, with a wide view, and even overlooks Chang'an City.

The Nine Heavens opened the palace, and all nations dressed in clothes and hats worshiped their crowns. Such a majestic momentum is just suitable for the barbarians of the foreign countries to know what the kingdom of heaven is.

However, Li Zhiwu's posthumous idea was doomed to fail.

Tubo won the battle this time, not Songtsan Gampo, who was defeated in the battle, came to marry Princess Wencheng with compensation as a betrothal gift.

The barbarians are fearful of authority but not of morality. After winning a great battle and seeing the Daming Palace like this, they will not be in awe, but will only be more eager.

Eager to plunder Datang's wealth.

Of course, Bren Zanren is completely honest now, and he will keep his own place in the territory of Datang, and he will repeat it after returning.

But Kumara left soon, thinking about going to the temple in Chang'an to talk about Buddhism and Dharma.

After paying attention, Li Yan took Wang Xiaojie all the way to the imperial city.

Wang Xiaojie is the captain of the Zhechong Mansion team, and Li Yan will fight for him to be the head of the inner guard Wu Dewei for this meritorious service.

It's about the future, Wang Xiaojie followed behind, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Arriving at the imperial city, before entering the city gate, An Shengan greeted him with a slightly unnatural expression: "Yuan Fang!"

Li Yandao: "Brother An, you have already helped a lot by notifying Qiu Geling of what happened yesterday, so you really don't have to worry about it."

"But I'm not loyal enough after all..."

An Shengan smiled wryly, restrained his emotions, and invited again: "The ninth younger brother came home last night. He knew that Yuan Fang had entered the capital, and he blamed me for not informing him. If you have time, come to my house as a guest."

Li Yan nodded again and again: "Okay, I will definitely pay a visit to General An Zhonglang."

Anshen smiled and said, "In the near future, I'm afraid Yuanfang will meet with me, Aye, frequently, and he will also come to serve in the inner guard."

Li Yan was startled: "An Zhonglang will become one of the five chiefs of the inner guard?"

An Shengan saluted in the direction of the Daming Palace, and said loyally: "Aye has the trust of the sage to take on this important position, and I, An, will be deeply impressed by it!"

Li Yan thought about it, but he didn't find it strange.

In terms of loyalty and seniority, at the fourth rank, there is indeed no one more suitable than An Yuanshou.

At that time, the Turkic army threatened Chang'an when Li Shimin had just succeeded to the throne and the interior was unstable. Li Shimin personally led Liuqi to meet Jieli.

Those six people were Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling, Xiao Yu (doubtful), Li Mengchang, Zhou Fan and An Yuanshou.

Later, when the alliance was entered into the account, only An Yuanshou was guarding Li Shimin's side. This is the epitaph unearthed by later generations.

When Li Zhi ascended the throne, An Yuanshou was still trusted. When Fengchan Taishan was enshrined, An Yuanshou handed it to Li Zhi himself for the enshrinement on the altar.

This Sogdian general with the nine surnames of Zhaowu has been unable to be promoted to the third rank, because the credit is not enough, and the hard work is enough.

Now that Li Zhi has re-established the inner guard, Ding'an Yuanshou is one of the cabinet leaders, expressing his full trust and expectation.

Taking advantage of the turmoil in Liangzhou this time, Wuwei An family may become more loyal to Datang, and An Yuanshou probably also wants to go to the third rank.

Sure enough, An Shengan said excitedly: "Aye used to lead troops to quell Helu's rebellion, and tried his hand at a small test. Now it's time to show his skills!"

Wang Xiaojie was also gearing up behind the scenes, and said proudly: "Extremely, extremely, to make contributions, is now!"

Li Yan looked at the two of them, feeling a little helpless in his heart.

It's nothing more than a sense of peace of mind, after all, he was born as a guard, and he is used to being pampered, so he doesn't know the danger.

Wang Xiaojie didn't think that he would go crazy because he won Bren's praise once, and treat Tibet as nothing, right?
If the development continues normally in history, you will be captured alive by Tubo. If it weren’t for the grandson of Songtsan Gampo who looks like Songtsan Gampo, now Zanpu’s father would be cut off by Chaka!
In fact, the peak period of the Tubo country was not long, and there was only one general who could be called the god of war, Qin Ling. After Qin Ling died, he began to compare with Datang.

But it was a coincidence that they met them during the peak period of just over [-] years.

Is it possible that, like the original history, when Qinling wins consecutive battles, the fear of this Dalun in Tubo reaches the extreme, and countermeasures are taken?
The reason why that kind of strategy works is not so much the cleverness of the strategy, but rather the fact that Datang has lost enough and badly enough to make Qinling's prestige reach its peak.

In addition, Qin Ling's political skills are far inferior to his military skills, so he will be killed by his own people.

The Gar family fell from the altar overnight, and Qinling's younger brother and son were forced to defect to Datang, and in turn guarded the frontier state for Datang, which has to be said to be a kind of irony.

When he entered the imperial city and took Wang Xiaojie to the Ministry of War, Li Yan was thinking silently:

"Qiu Ying, Pei Xingjian, and An Yuanshou have been appointed as the five cabinet leaders of the inner guard. Will the two fourth-rank officials be transferred, or will they be promoted from fifth rank?"

"The next main competition between the DPRK and China will be the positions of these two cabinet leaders. Well, there are still twelve envoys."

"The leader of the big pavilion sits at the center and commands the overall situation. He will not move lightly. I don't think Li Zhi will reset it. After all, Changsun Wuji casts too much shadow on him."

"The cabinet leader is actually equivalent to the commander-in-chief of an army on the battlefield, and the Ji Yishi is the general, fighting side."

"Many people are jealous of these positions now, because it is convenient to make meritorious service during wartime!"

Li Yan knows the progress of history, and he is very clear about the position of inner guard, which is a coexistence of risks and opportunities, and he is doing great work with his head up.

But in the face of huge benefits, many people underestimated the risks of inner defenders.

For example, at Wu Minzhi's banquet before, the madness of installing officials did not consider the issue of competence at all.

This guy will not be an exception.

At present, the overall concept of the Tang Dynasty still looks down on Tubo, with a haughty posture, neither self nor enemy.

With such a re-establishment of the inner guard, against the commander-in-chief Qinling, who is at the peak, and Tubo, who also attaches great importance to espionage activities, I am afraid that he will suffer.

Those officials who are greedy for profit deserve their death, but it is a pity that they often cannot die, and the mistakes they make make the innocent soldiers below die in vain.

"Fortunately, Pei Xingjian is here. This big boss's early participation in the war should be the result of the high-level attention after the truth of Liangzhou was revealed."

"If only I could take advantage of the opportunity and learn more from him, that would be fine."

Li Yan thought about his future, and helped Wang Xiaojie go through the formalities by the way.

He didn't have any acquaintances in the Ministry of War, but fortunately he was a princeling. As soon as "Yaoshan Jade Color" was picked up, Shi immediately burst into a smile and credited Wang Xiaojie with all his might.

After waiting for less than half an hour, everything was done, Wang Xiaojie was amazed, when will the Beijing officials be so efficient?
As for the meritorious service, before joining the internal guard, it was actually a matter of a word from Qiu Ying, the leader of the cabinet.

That's what Li Yan said.

Ever since, after entering the internal garrison that was gradually gaining momentum, in just a quarter of an hour, Wang Xiaojie became a glorious internal guard Wude.

The foreign position has not changed for the time being, and it is still the ninth-rank lower zhefu team, which is the lowest in Wudewei.

But after taking this step, there is a world of difference in the difficulty of obtaining meritorious service.

Corresponding to later generations, it is equivalent to a local garrison, and was transferred to the national security headquarters. Wang Xiaojie was ecstatic and energetic, and solemnly performed the military salute: "Thank you Liulang for his promotion, Xiaojie is grateful!"

"Xiaojie, accompany me to a place."

Li Yan is also not polite. The kindness of knowing you in this era is to be called a teacher. If you are polite, it will be an insult to others.

Sure enough, Wang Xiaojie took the initiative to take the position of his entourage, and waited for him: "Where are you going?"

"Go back to the Duke of Wei."
