Great Tang princess

Chapter 339 Ancient Keyboard Man

Today's Qianniuwei is very fast. The order has just been issued in the morning, and the luggage has been packed in the afternoon, and they all set off for Yangzhou.

Because he decided to go by water by boat, Geng Yunqiang and his soldier Qiao Zhuang dressed up as a caravan and boarded the boat.

This time they were only responsible for the response, so they didn't carry any other equipment except the hand ax that never left their bodies.

After Shangguan Wan'er finished explaining the matter to them, she returned to the Princess Mansion, and while begging Li Yuechen to reward her with a hugging bear, she tidied up her room.

Li Yuechen allocated all the rooms next to her. She and her sisters and sisters-in-law were all next to Li Yuechen, and if there was anything going on, they could be heard when they called out.

After tidying up the room, Li Yuechen came in with a life-sized hugging bear: "Hey, this is for you!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward!" Shangguan Wan'er happily took it over and put it on the bed.

In fact, not only she has it, but her sister and sister-in-law also have it. Girls should like this kind of thing more.

Shangguan Wan'er made a cup of tea and chatted with Li Yuechen again.

"In the future, there will be a wide demand for dark guards. I plan to transfer a group of people from other places. Can I train in His Highness's army?" Shangguan Wan'er asked.

After all, although the secret guard has been split from the newspaper, the original intelligence officers are all journalists. It’s okay to inquire about gossip or gossip, but when it comes to real intelligence, there is still a lot of difference.

Li Yuechen thought for a while: "External recruitment is a bit troublesome. Whether it is education or other aspects, you need to retrain... How about this, I will send a group of people from inside to you."

In fact, after so long, Li Yuechen is also thinking about this issue, how to arrange for some soldiers who are too old and physically unable to keep up.

After all, this era is different from the future. Even if they are given a retirement fee, they are prone to problems after returning.

What's more, in this era when most businesses are inherited from their fathers, many sons of soldiers will still serve as soldiers, and most of the rest will make a living by farming.

But these people have already learned culture in the army, and their spirits are much higher than ordinary people. How can they farm with peace of mind?

So it's better to let these people change jobs and enter the intelligence department. After a little training, they can be undercover in various places, and they may play an important role at some point.

Simply put, like the spies in many novels in the future, they have their own work and life. If there is no task, they may live their lives like this.

Not only can it continuously replenish manpower for the intelligence department, but it can also solve the problem of aging soldiers in the army, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Not to mention that these soldiers have already received education in the army, the chances of being rebellious will be greatly reduced, and they are much better than ordinary people in hiding their identities.

After listening to her suggestion, Shangguan Wan'er nodded: "That's great, in this way, Wan'er won't worry that no one will be available."

"Yeah, but in the future Wan'er needs to be equipped with bodyguards." Li Yuechen replied.

After all, now that the hidden guards are so powerful, Shangguan Wan'er will inevitably be exposed to the eyes of all officials, and it may pose a certain threat to her personal safety.

Rather, the establishment of such a department must inform the officials, so that they will know to cooperate with the investigation when necessary!

……

Sure enough, at the court meeting the next day, Tianhou announced the establishment of the Royal Dark Guard to be in charge of national security issues.

The dark guards are not under the jurisdiction of the three provinces and six ministries, but are directly responsible to the royal family, and have the important task of monitoring the world and protecting the country!If there is a problem, anyone can unconditionally cooperate with the investigation!

Although it was said that Shangguan Wan'er's identity as the person in charge was not announced on the spot, such a piece of news has already caused a cold sweat to break out from the backs of all the officials.

No one is a fool, why does the royal family spend money to support such a department?Isn't it for better surveillance of them?

They also know very well that as long as their ministers don't do anything, the country will naturally be safe.

Now that Princess Taiping is here, it is impossible for Datang to have any external threats, so the so-called threats are naturally internal.

And as long as she is willing to inquire about it at that time, it is impossible for the person in charge, Shangguan Wan'er, to hide.

After retiring from the court that day, many ministers walked out of the hall tremblingly. Now Tianhou has made it clear that she doesn't trust them, so what should be done next?

In the next half month, almost everyone was asking who is the person in charge of the royal hidden guard.

Wu Zetian didn't deliberately keep it secret, and soon they found out a very unexpected name - Shangguan Wan'er.

Hearing this name, many ministers fell into deep thought.

The victims in the incident of the former emperor's dethronement were her grandfather and father, Shangguanyi and Shangguan Tingzhi, but now she has turned into the head of the royal guard?
Tianhou is quite Cao Cao's style in this respect. She is obviously a lover of extermination, but she actually puts his granddaughter in such an important position.

Could it be that she is not afraid that she will cause trouble for her with hatred in her heart?
But no matter what, now that the name has been found out, we should pay more attention, and at the same time see if we can win over.

But this problem is also a bit troublesome. Shangguan Wan'er is in charge of the royal secret guard, and she doesn't need to go to court, as long as she obeys orders.

And she herself is still an aide in the Princess Mansion, and lives in the Princess Mansion every day, even if she wants to arrange for the eunuchs and maids in the palace to contact her.

If it is in the palace, they still have some court ladies and eunuchs who can use it, but the current Princess Mansion is impenetrable, and it is not so difficult to install people there.

At the same time, a new question was born.

Why did Tianhou allow Shangguan Wan'er to live in the princess mansion?

Rather, between Princess Taiping and the Queen of Heaven, who is Shangguan Wan'er targeting?

After being tested by Pei Yan and Di Renjie, their attitude towards Princess Taiping is quite clear now.

She doesn't want to care about the struggle between Tianhou and the emperor, she just wants to focus on the army.There is also a delicate balance formed between the intangible.

Because the late emperor had left her body, the Queen of Heaven would certainly not be able to seize her military power, and most likely she is also worrying about this now.

After all, the princess's army is too strong. Although there are less than a few thousand people, even if they confront an army of more than [-], they may not lose.

……

Five days later, Geng Yunqiang, who had been away for twenty days, returned with a brand new piece of information.

Li Yuechen immediately set off to enter the palace, and sat with Shangguan Wan'er and Tianhou.

Although he borrowed from his own person this time, Li Yuechen still asked Shangguan Wan'er to report this matter and get a share of the credit.

In Renshou Hall, Zhang Chengxin put the brewed tea in front of several people, then took two steps back slightly, and went to guard outside the door.

"Tianhou, I got very detailed information this time." Shangguan Wan'er immediately reported, "Li Jingye proclaimed himself a general of the Kuangfu Mansion, led the governor of Yangzhou, and appointed Tang Zhiqi and Du Qiuren as the long history of the left and right. Wei Siwen is a military officer. King Luo Bin is the secretary..."

With the precise cooperation of the people sent by Li Yuechen, an extremely detailed piece of information was obtained during this period of time, and they almost found out everything about the person on the opposite side.

Li Yuechen next to him thought for a while, this Tang Zhiqi seemed to be an aide under the second brother's staff.

At the beginning, the second brother was deposed as a commoner for rebellion, and this guy seems to have been exiled to the frontier because of his crime.

But I really didn't expect to hear Luo Binwang's name. He is quite famous. He wrote the poem "Ode to the Goose" when he was seven years old. When Li Yuechen was in elementary school, this poem was included in the textbook.

Shangguan Wan'er continued to report: "Now Li Jingye has not formally launched an army, and is still entrenched in Yangzhou. But it seems that he has sent messengers to many places, perhaps to win over supporters. In addition..."

Speaking of this, she hesitated for a moment, but continued to report: "In addition, he also claimed that his subordinates were supported by the Second Highness, and that the Second Highness will go to meet him after a while..."

After that, her voice has become very small.

Hearing this sentence, Wu Zetian turned to look at her daughter with a puzzled expression.

"Impossible!" Li Yuechen waved his hand, "Brother stays in the barracks all day, no way!"

"Then this matter was reconciled again?" Wu Zetian asked.

Li Yuechen snorted coldly: "Anyway, the people below don't know what my elder brother looks like, but if someone says it's him, how will the people below know?"

Wu Zetian nodded, that's true.

After all, those who rebel must pay attention to a teacher who is famous, which is why many rebels started with the name of King Qing or King Qin, just to make their subordinates feel that this is not rebellion, but that they are doing the right thing.

It's just that Li Jingye is sending letters everywhere now, and he doesn't know who he will contact. It would be great if he could figure this out.

"Is there anything else?" Wu Zetian turned his head and asked.

Shangguan Wan'er nodded: "He also asked King Luo Bin to write a call to action and let the whole city recite it. I guess... it won't be long before it spreads to Dongdu."

Speaking of this, Shangguan Wan'er seemed to be hesitant, but she still respectfully took out a piece of paper and handed it over with both hands.

Wu Zetian took it and read it. It didn't look like there were many words. She finished it in a while, and then smiled lightly: "It's a good literary talent! It's a pity..."

Li Yuechen stretched out his hand to take it from her curiously, but Wu Zetian didn't stop her.

Looking down, "On behalf of Li Jingye to discuss the Wu family": the false Linchao Wu family is not docile, and the land is cold and cold. In the past, he served as Taizong's servant, and he tried to change clothes to serve him.Even in the late festival, the erotic palace is filthy...

Looking at it, he frowned. No matter what, his own mother was scolded like this, and everyone would be angry.

But when I saw "Girls are at heart, wolves become sexual, close to evil, cruel to loyal and good, kill sisters and brothers, kill kings and mothers. God and man share diseases, and heaven and earth cannot tolerate it." Can't help laughing out.

This is just a fake rumor, right?

Putting aside the matter of killing my sister and brother, it is a tradition in the Tang Dynasty, and it is normal.

But to say that she killed the emperor and mother is pure nonsense!
Li Yuechen was there when grandma died and when father died, this is pure rumor.

Seeing this, Li Yuechen calmed down and continued to read.

The whole article is not long, but after reading it, there is a strange feeling.

Let’s not talk about those who are not literary, but if it is completely translated into vernacular, it can be divided into three paragraphs.

In the first paragraph, it is said that my mother's background is too low, and then I list various crimes, which are simply rumors and personal attacks.

The second paragraph says that Li Jingye is awesome, hang out with him, and have meat to eat.To put it bluntly, it is to draw a big cake!
As for the last paragraph, it should be for the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, saying that you are all ministers of the former emperor, how can you work for the queen mother now?You should hurry up and hang out with Li Jingye... In fact, it is moral kidnapping.

Good guy, Luo Binwang looks like an ancient keyboard man, right?

Thinking of this, the original admiration for King Luo Bin disappeared. In any case, it would be a lie if my own mother was not angry when she was greeted with such rumors.

She raised her head and drank the tea in one gulp, then stood up and said, "Mother, let me go! He won't come back until he is killed!"

Although it is said that there was no literary prison in the Tang Dynasty, from Li Yuechen's point of view, it was unbearable.

Wu Zetian smiled slightly: "Don't worry, if you go at this time, it may cause suspicion. Didn't you say that you want to spread it all over Dongdu? Let's wait until it spreads."

"Wait for it to spread?" Li Yuechen raised his head, "Maybe I want everyone in the world to scold me?"

"When did you see that I cared about outsiders' opinions?" Wu Zetian asked back with a smile, "Besides, King Luo Bin has a really good literary talent, if he can use it for himself..."

Li Yuechen lowered his eyelids: "It's useless to keep this kind of troll, let the child give him a hammer when the time comes."

Although I don't understand what the word "spray" means, but from the expression on my daughter's face, it can be seen that it is not a good word.

Wu Zetian shook his head lightly: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Now that you have the news, there is nothing to worry about. Chen'er, you need to prepare this time, and you will need to solve this matter when the time comes!"

After all, we can't let outsiders feel that the mother and daughter are in harmony, so we can't send her there right away, and we need to find a reason that people won't doubt.

Seeing that his mother wasn't angry because of this, Li Yuechen felt relieved. Sure enough, his mother is not an ordinary person!

……

After Shangguan Wan'er and Li Yuechen left, Zhang Chengxin outside Renshou Hall looked at the sky and was about to go in to remind Tianhou that it was almost time for dinner.

Suddenly heard a "click", as if something fell to the ground and shattered.

Shocked, Zhang Chengxin was about to rush in, but just as he opened the door, he heard Wu Zetian's roar: "Get out!"

Startled, Zhang Chengxin quickly agreed, closed the door obediently, and retreated.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of "cracking" was heard continuously in the hall. Every time it sounded, it represented the breakage of a piece of high-grade porcelain.

At the same time, Zhang Chengxin, who was guarding outside, would tremble with every explosion, as if some kind of strange switch.

The other eunuchs and maids around also hid far away, as if they didn't hear...
