People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 555 Di Renjie VS Donghai King

Walking out of the official residence of Qin Shandao, General of Zuo Jinwu Guard, Li Xuan went to visit another Zhonglang General of Zuo Jinwu Guard, Ma Sizong.

After some polite conversation, Li Xuan finally transferred Qin Jun and his subordinates to his subordinates.

Putting on red clothes and silver armor, Li Xuan rode on a tall horse, led two teams of Jinwu Guards, and quickly left the Zuo Jinwu Guards office.

There are two teams of Jinwu Guards, the captain of one team is Qin Jun under Ma Sizong's subordinate, and the captain of the other team is Cui Ding under Zeng Qiu Shenji's command.

Qin Jun is Li Xuan's childhood friend, and Cui Ding was able to be promoted to captain because of the battle in Luoyang Yunshao Academy.

Longyou Cui Ding, with two gourd hammers hanging on the side of his horse, and a Tang saber pinned to his waist, is wearing thin scale armor and is full of domineering short-bearded Kanto man.

A group of people stopped on Suzaku Street, and Qin Jun behind stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "General Zhonglang, where are we going now?"

Zuo Xiaowei Zhonglang lived Ashina Nishugen in Anxingfang, East City of Chang’an, and Youwei Zhonglang lived Ashina Gana in Jinchengfang, West City of Chang’an. These are two completely different directions.

"Yeah, where are you going? The descendants of Tuli and Jieli don't live together." Li Xuan looked up and asked softly, "Where are the people from Dali Temple now?"

"In Jinchengfang, West City, in the courtyard of General Ashina Gana of Youwei Zhonglang." Qin Jun immediately reported.

"Xicheng?" Li Xuan raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked, "If we go to Xicheng, what will the Right Jinwu Guard say?"

In Chang'an City, the east city is under the management of Zuo Jinwu, and the west city is under the management of Right Jinwu Guard.

"This is a major investigation case. If there is any obstruction from the Right Jinwu Guard, it will be taken down." Cui Ding stepped forward while Qin Jun was hesitating.

Li Xuan smiled lightly, and it could be seen that the conflict between the left and right Jinwu guards was much greater than that between the left and right Qianniu guards.

"Let's go, go to Jinchengfang." Without hesitation, Li Xuan immediately turned the horse's head and headed towards Jinchengfang.

I don't know how long Ashina Nishugou and Ashina Gana have been out of the city. Two days and two nights are enough for them to get up and run back to the grassland. Li Xuan doesn't have so much time to delay now, he has to use everything able to harness the power.

……

The sound of "da da da" horseshoes sounded quickly on the street, and the people around immediately moved out of the street subconsciously.

As if remembering something, Li Xuan suddenly slowed down, turned to look at Qin Jun and asked, "Who is in charge at Anxingfang?"

"It's Changshi Yao Yi." Qin Jun looked at Li Xuan and said, "I met at the wedding banquet yesterday. I heard that Yao Changshi and the prince had contact in Luoyang."

"Well, it's Yunshao Academy's Kanpo rebel who knows him." Li Xuan glanced at Cui Ding sideways, and Cui Ding immediately puffed up his chest proudly.

Li Xuan smiled, and then said: "If this king remembers correctly, Yao Changshi's son is also serving in the Jinwu Guard."

"It's gone." Cui Ding leaned forward and said, "That boy Yao Chong has become a servant who respects the emperor, and he is already qualified to be an official. He is currently at home preparing for next year's Chunwei exam, and he didn't go to the wedding banquet yesterday. "

Li Xuan nodded, his expression immediately became solemn, and said: "Command Yao Changshi to go to Chunming Gate immediately and check there, don't worry about Ashina Nishugen's mansion in Anxingfang, let Wannian County and Yongzhou The people in the mansion are surrounded to death, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

"Here!" Qin Jun and Cui Ding looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

Soon some of his subordinates went to Yongxingfang to deliver orders, while Li Xuan thought about it, passing through Buzhengfang, Liquanfang, and arriving at Jinchengfang.

……

Countless police officers have surrounded the entire Jinchengfang to death.

The officials of Chang'an County, officials of Yongzhou Prefecture, You Jinwuwei, and people from Dali Temple have already entered Jinchengfang and started to search.

Most of the people living in Jinchengfang are descendants of Huihe, Turks and grassland tribes.

However, most of them have assimilated into ordinary Datang citizens.

There is no difference in behavior and diet from Tang people, or in other words, they are Tang people.

Passing under the square gate, the first house on the north side of the gate is the mansion of Ashina Gana.

After Xieli was captured, Emperor Taizong placed him here to live, and the emperor named him the king of Guiyi County, and this is the palace of Guiyi County King.

Although Jieli is dead and the title of Guiyi County King has been taken back by the court, the plaque of Guiyi County King still hangs on this mansion.

People come and go and call it Guiyi County Prince's Mansion, but the court doesn't recognize it.

After all, there is no harm in doing so, and it can also be used to calm people's hearts.

Li Xuan got off her horse and stood at the gate of the Guiyi County Prince's Mansion. At this time, four people had already come out from the mansion.

Shi Yang Deqian, chief governor of Yongzhou, Shi Hexin, chief guard of the right Jinwu, Jia Dun, magistrate of Chang'an County, and Dali Temple Chancellor He Zhiqiu.

"Your Majesty has met the Nanchang County King, the County King Qianqiu." The four people bowed their hands to Li Xuan at the same time and saluted.

Li Xuan nodded, looked at the four of them, and said solemnly: "There is an order in the palace, and I will serve as the general of the left Jinwu Guard, the king's inspector, to be responsible for hunting down the fugitive Ashina Nishugan and Ashina Gana. People, this king has already ordered the nearby states to seal the roads tightly, and immediately sent the order as soon as it is found, and now I think the other generation has escaped into the mountains, but if we want to find out where it is, we have to look for evidence from here."

"What the lord said is very true." The four of them cupped their hands again with awe-inspiring expressions.

When the King of Nanchang was in Luoyang, he defeated the conspiracy of the Tianyin Sect as the inspector Qianniuwei Zhonglang, and now he is in charge of hunting down the fleeing Turkic royal family as the inspector Jinwuwei Zhonglang. , it can be seen.

But this also shows from another aspect that the empress did not trust their abilities.

……

While walking in, Li Xuan looked at what Dali Temple Cheng was asking for, and asked in puzzlement: "Brother He, what happened last night, why did people run away in the end?"

"I don't know." He Yiqiu smiled helplessly, looked at the crowd surrounded by Li Xuan, and said helplessly, "What happened last night, we were only responsible for sealing off all the streets and city gates, and Qian Qian was responsible for arresting people in the end." Niu Wei, no one knows what went wrong."

"Last night, Qianniuwei blocked the group of Ashina Gana who fled over the wall in the north of Kaihua Gate, but after he committed suicide, he discovered that the group of people turned out to be substitutes." Yongzhou Mansion Chief Shi Yang Decan sighed helplessly, and said, "It's the same situation outside Tonghua Gate in Dongcheng. No one knows when they were replaced by substitutes?"

They had already got the news that the Turks intended to rebel, but they couldn't arrest people in advance.

Because they don't have any evidence to accuse, if they arrest people casually, it will easily arouse the dissatisfaction of tens of thousands of Turkic people in the city.

In particular, most of these Turkic people are Turkic aristocrats, and many of them have served in this dynasty for many years. Once there is a disturbance, the consequences will be disastrous.

So they can only wait for them to try to escape, then arrest people in one fell swoop, and then it will be easier to question them, but why did they not expect that although they were caught in the end, they were all doubles, and they all committed suicide.

Ming Chongyan's actions last night were severely played by others. Now Li Xuan finally understands why Ming Chongyan let him take charge of this matter: he is not the opponent of the East China Sea King, so naturally he wants to find someone who can deal with the East China Sea King. People.

Li Xuan thought about it, but suddenly stopped. He looked at the crowd, frowned and said, "That is to say, after they left the palace and the prime minister's residence last night, they changed people when you didn't notice."

Last night, Ashinayun and Ashinaduo went to Prince Peng's Mansion to attend Li Xuan's wedding, while Ashina Nishuchen and Ashina Gana went to Zuoxiang's Mansion, they were not together, But in the end they escaped at the same time.

"We have been watching closely, only if they have returned here among them, can they change people." He Yiqiu said with certainty.

If it was outside Chang'an City, the strength of Dali Temple might not be enough, but within Chang'an City, if they stared at a person to death, that person would definitely not be able to escape.

Li Xuan shook her head slightly, and said softly: "You must have neglected somewhere, and then they seized the opportunity to tamper with it. The problem must not be here...Why, don't you believe it?"

Under Li Xuan's words, a hint of suspicion subconsciously appeared on the faces of everyone.

Li Xuan smiled lightly, then looked at Di Renjie, who was wearing a black official robe and had a stern face in the corner on the other side, touching the two mustaches on his lips from time to time thinking, and shouted: "Brother Huaiying, can you find out?" nothing?"

Di Renjie, who had just interrogated a servant, was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously looked at Li Xuan.

Only then did he come back to his senses, and hurried forward, cupped his hands and said, "My official Dali Temple Chancellor Di Renjie, I have seen the prince."

Li Xuan waved her hand directly and asked, "No need to be too polite, brother Huaiying, have you found any valuable clues?"

"No." After a slight pause, Di Renjie followed up and said: "It's not nothing, I just heard that a month ago, a Turkic headman from the northern tribe came to visit Ashina Gana, but he said something Just leave, now too much time has passed, and it is of little value."

Li Xuan nodded, and then asked again: "Then, do you have any accurate information about the situation after Youwei Zhonglang returned to the mansion last night?"

"No." Di Renjie gave a very simple sentence, and he said directly: "Although the servants in the mansion talk a lot, it is absolutely useless. Those who fled with Youwei Zhonglang and his party have been They all ate and lived with Youwei Zhonglang, and went out in twos, and the others didn’t know anything about it. The subordinates checked the yard of Gana, and all useful things were destroyed in advance.”

"That is to say, they have been planning this matter for a long time." Li Xuan nodded, and then said: "Ashina Nishuzhu and Ashina Gana fled at the same time, which means that they must have communicated before, even if they are not in In this mansion, there must be other places too, brother Huaiying, please start from this aspect and find out who is behind their backs to help Gou Lian and help them escape."

It is not ordinary people who can make Xieli and Tuli's grandson cooperate with each other tacitly at the same time.

This person is most likely the King of the East China Sea.

Di Renjie is facing the king of the East China Sea, it's so interesting
"If you find that person, you can naturally figure out how they escaped."

After a slight pause, Li Xuan looked at the people present, and said in a cold voice: "Tell the people in this courtyard, there must have been people who have heard something intentionally or unintentionally, but they didn't care about it before. Now, anyone who can tell is useful If there are any clues, then everyone here will not need to send them to build the imperial tomb, otherwise..."

Build the imperial mausoleum.

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the Turkic people who heard these words from far and near immediately changed drastically.

Compared with the Turkic people, they are not afraid of being dispatched to serve in the army. They are natural fighters, and naturally they are the least afraid of killing.

But if they are sent to build the imperial tomb, they will most likely die there quietly and never come back.

Not even being able to enter the Longevity Heaven, this is more uncomfortable for the Turks than killing them.

Li Xuan turned to look at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Don't stick to what you see right now, ask the neighbors around, ask them if they have seen and heard things inadvertently, collect them all, and send them to Di Huaiying's place."

"Official?" Di Renjie was a little dazed, he was just a sixth-rank Dali Temple Prime Minister, and no one present was higher than him.

However, before Di Renjie could react, all the people present had already clapped their hands and said without hesitation: "I will obey the order."

"Di Huaiying is in charge of everything in the city." Li Xuan said, striding out, and at the same time said: "As for the outside of the city, I personally chase people."
