The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 400

These people are usually attached to Li Yuanjing when the big tree of Li Yuanjing was not withered. They all have ambitions, but their abilities cannot match their ambitions, so if you want to take a step or a few steps up, you can't do it. It can only rely on this kind of risk.

Xuan Shijing had just left Chang'an City for only two hours, and the content of his conversation with His Majesty Li Er at Da'an Palace in the morning spread outside the palace. In the evening, several officials of Chang'an City got together, and the location, It was chosen in Yanlai Tower.

In the private room on the second floor, as soon as everyone sat down, they asked the servants in Yanlailou to prepare a basin of paper, pens and charcoal.

About 50 years old, an old man in dark blue silk clothes picked up a pen, dipped it in ink, and began to write on the paper. After writing, he put down the pen and lifted the paper for everyone to see clearly.

It was written impressively on the paper: Hou Dongshan came out of Chang'an, intending to stay in Jingzhou, His Majesty ordered.

When everyone saw it, they fell into deep thought. Then, another official wrote on the paper: How should we deal with it?

The old man in blue put the paper in his hand into the charcoal basin, burned it up, and then picked up the pen and started writing on the paper.

"I have been in the same boat with King Jing for many years, and we have a very close relationship. I can't escape this matter, I can't escape it, and I will be involved no matter what. It's better to give it a go."

"How to give it a go?"

"Intercept and kill Xuan Shijing in the middle, so as to buy time for His Royal Highness King Jing to send troops."

"Compared with the imperial court, the soldiers in the hands of His Highness King Jing have no chance of winning. Let alone the army stationed on the border of Hanzhou, they are the government soldiers in Guanzhong. If they are dispatched, His Highness King Jing will definitely not be able to defeat them Get over it, how can things be done in a hurry? We might as well wait and see what happens."

"Now the military department in the south of the Great Tang is at peace. The men have Nanzhao and the six kingdoms who want to benefit from our Great Tang, and the west has Tubo. If His Royal Highness King Jing can link up with Tubo in the west, the chances of winning will be much greater. We don't have to be so discouraged, no, midway Intercepting and killing Xuan Shijing bought time for His Royal Highness King Jing, and even if it didn’t work, then Xuan Shijing would think that the person was sent by King Jing and has something to do with us?”

"Very much."

Everyone wrote down their own thoughts on the paper, and after everyone read it, they threw it into a charcoal basin and burned it.

In other words, if Sun Yaoting was so cautious back then, it would not be so easy for Xuan Shijing to come all the way to the present. Sun Yaoting is a typical clever but was mistaken by cleverness.

What these few people didn't know was that they had just met in Yanlai Tower, and they were followed by someone. At this time, the man dressed as a servant standing outside the door was listening to the movement in the room attentively, but after listening for a long time , except for the sound of paper brushing, there was no sound.

Could it be that they wrote everything down on paper?
These old foxes!The man dressed as a servant cursed inwardly, knowing that there would be no result if he stood here like this, so he turned and left the second floor, and left Yanlai Building.

His horse was tied to the hitching post outside Yanlai Tower, he got on the horse, and with a whip slapped in the air, he ran towards Changsun Wuji's mansion.

"Master, Xiaosi is back." Changsun Wuji went down to the court, and received a signal from His Majesty Li Er, the old Wude officials who controlled the entire Chang'an City in the mansion and had contacts with Li Yuanjing were sorting out the news in the study, so they could hear the following Some people reported that the spies they had sent out had come.

"Hurry up and let him come to the study to see me." Changsun Wuji said

The spies came back at this time, presumably there must be some important news.

A man named Xiao Si was waiting in the yard outside the study, and as soon as the book boy came to pass the word, Xiao Si followed the book boy into Changsun Wuji's study.

The book boy retreated very consciously.

Xiao Siban knelt on the ground and saluted Changsun Wuji: "Little Xiao Si, pay homage to the master."

"Get up, tell me, what's the situation?" Changsun Wuji looked at Xiao Si and asked.

"Returning to the master, as expected, those officials made an appointment to meet in Yanlai Tower as soon as it got dark. Several people gathered together and sat in the private room on the second floor, but the small ones stood outside the door and watched carefully. After listening for a long time, I found nothing but the sound of the paper, presumably these people were too cautious and wrote all their conversations on the paper." Xiao Si said.

"I'm a bit smart, what about those papers? Have they been destroyed? If they haven't been destroyed, is there a way to get them?" Changsun Wuji looked at Xiao Si and asked.

Xiao Si shook his head when he heard the words: "Master, this is probably difficult. The few of them asked for three charcoal basins, which must be used to burn paper. The words written on paper, except for them, I'm afraid And no one knows."

Changsun Wuji stroked his beard, and nodded thoughtfully: "Well, I see, you go down and rest first, by the way, those people will arrange other people to keep watching, and you must master their knowledge all day long." Action track."

"Yes, master, I understand, I will take my leave." After Xiaosi bowed and saluted, he withdrew.

Changsun Wuji sat alone in the study, thinking about the next thing.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Not long after Xiaosi left, Changsun Chong entered Changsun Wuji's study and knelt down opposite Changsun Wuji.

"Father, did those people in Chang'an City make any noise?"

"Well, they made an appointment at Yanlai Tower this evening, but these people are very cautious now, and Xiao Si didn't find out what they said." Changsun Wuji said.

"In this case, why not let the child guess." The eldest grandson said with a smile.

"Oh? What do you think?" Changsun Wuji looked at Changsun Chong and asked.

"These people used to have a lot of contacts with Li Yuanjing. Now that something happened to Li Yuanjing, there are only two things they can do. One is to quickly think of a countermeasure to get rid of Li Yuanjing, and the other is to help Li Yuanjing. Now Li Yuanjing In Jingzhou, all they can do now is to buy time for Li Yuanjing, Dongshan Hou Xuan Shijing has already set off from Chang'an City, if they want to buy time, they must work hard on Xuan Shijing." Chang Sun Chong said.

"It's reasonable. The most likely thing is that they will attack Xuan Shijing on the way. Once Xuan Shijing dies, it will take some time for the news to reach Chang'an. It will take another period of time for His Majesty to respond. In this way For one thing, Li Yuanjing's time in Jingzhou is enough for him to reorganize the army, if he joins Tubo in the west, the consequences will not depend on the plan."

"Then father, do you need to send someone to follow and protect Xuan Shijing all the way?" Chang Sun Chong asked.

"No, it's not that time yet, don't underestimate Xuan Shijing, although he is younger, he is not a fuel-efficient lamp."
