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

Chapter 607 Connected with each other, the pit has been dug

"My minister, Yuan Jiazuo, thank you for your kindness. Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

In the lobby of the Governor's Mansion, Yuan Jiazuo bowed down on the ground, then raised his hands, accepting the imperial decree solemnly.

Standing on the left side of the lobby, Lai Jingye quickly stepped forward to help Yuan Jiazuo up: "The governor, please stand up."

"Brother Lai, you're being polite." Yuan Jiazuo stood up, bowed slightly to Jingye, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Lai, please."

"The governor's birth is divided. You and I have been working in Jiangnan for many years. Although we seldom meet each other, we still have affection." Lai respectfully and gently returned the salute.

Li Xuan stood on one side, heaving a sigh of relief, but looked at Lai Sui who was standing on the side, and asked, what is going on?

Lai Sui shrugged with a wry smile, he didn't know what was going on?
Yuan Jiazuo was transferred to the governor's office of Yuezhou, and there were a total of six military states. Lai Jingye was transferred from the governor of Runzhou to the governor of Hangzhou. Although it was an understatement, the emperor still had control over Hangzhou.

Li Xuan, Ji Xiao, Hu Yu, and Yuan Yi stood a little ahead, and behind them, Guan Mi, Xue Zhongzhang, Zhang Chun, and the other six cao soldiers from the Governor's Mansion stood a little later, and Su Yu, One person stood on one side with a serious expression on his face.

Who would have thought that Su Yu, who had just revealed a big hole, would immediately be transferred to be the prime minister of Dali Temple, and return to Chang'an to work with Di Renjie.

Now, Su Yu is already the prime minister of Dali Temple, and no one can control him in the entire Hangzhou Prefecture.

But before he made a mess in the Hangzhou Mansion, it was immediately handed over to the newcomers, the new Fa Cao joined the army.

This person is none other than the former secretary Lang Xue Zhongzhang.

Although Hangzhou is Shangzhou, it is a loss no matter how you look at it from any point of view.

If he can be transferred from the Hangzhou Facao Army to the Dali Temple Prime Minister who is also on the sixth rank, this is called promotion, just like Su Yu.

If Xue Zhongzhang was directly transferred from Secretary Lang to Dali Temple Prime Minister, then it would be considered a flat transfer, but it would definitely be a loss if he was transferred to Hangzhou Facao to join the army.

However, he didn't make a mistake, nor was he demoted, so it can only mean that he has other plans.

No one in the hall was confused. Everyone could see clearly Xue Zhongzhang's thoughts on being transferred to Hangzhou.

It's just that what he is planning is not something ordinary people can see clearly.

Especially his relationship with Pei Yan, even Li Xuan only knew about it through Dou Xuande, and the others knew nothing about it.

……

Li Xuan looked away, saw that Lai Jingye and Yuan Jiazuo had finished exchanging greetings, after a little thought, he walked forward slowly.

Seeing Li Xuan approaching, Lai Jingye and Yuan Jiazuo looked at him in surprise at the same time.

Li Xuan clasped his hands and said: "Xuan congratulates Yuan Weng on his promotion, congratulations on Uncle Shi's promotion, today should be a time of celebration, but Xuan has something that needs to be discussed by the two elders."

Yuan Jiazuo looked at Li Xuan with a little surprise: "The meaning of my nephew is that this matter is also related to Yuezhou?"

"I am about to mobilize a regiment of soldiers from the Kuaiji Mansion, please allow it from the governor." Li Xuan's voice was very low, only Yuan Jiazuo and Lai Jingye could hear clearly.

"It's about the East Island, and I hope the two elders will forgive me." Li Xuan's posture was very low, but just after he said it, Yuan Jiazuo and Lai Jingye couldn't help but change slightly.

Although Li Xuan's official is Wuzhou Biejia, but he has the post of Deputy Envoy of Jiangnan Dao Raising Troops, he can directly control all officials in dozens of states in Jiangnan Dao, and even has the right to kill first and then play.

Now that Jingye and Yuan Jiazuo didn't dare to neglect, they directly stretched out their hands and said, "Please, my lord."

Li Xuan cupped his hands: "The boy is offended, please also call the captain of the navy Ji Xiao, the chief historian Hu Yu and Sima Yuan Yi, and the soldier Cao Jun Zhang Chun together, the matter is very important, please come and brother Yu Xiuzhuan to write the record together Renovate and file, in case the central inquiry."

"Follow the order!" Yuan Jiazuo and Lai Jingye cupped their hands at the same time, and then summoned their subordinates to give some instructions.

Soon, a group of people walked into the inner hall. Seeing this scene, everyone in the hall couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing what happened.

After the few people left, the eyes of everyone in the hall could not help but all fall on Guan Mi, the military recorder.

Among the many high-ranking officials in Yangzhou, he was the only one who was excluded from the list of participants.

Guan Mi's face was calm, as if he hadn't noticed what everyone was thinking at all.

His eyes fell directly on the door of the inner hall, his face was indifferent, but his fixed eyes already revealed the injustice in his heart.

Isn't it because he offended the king of Nanchang? Why is this so?

Now he is not even allowed to participate in some key secrets, so be on guard, damn it.

With a cold snort, Guan Mi waved his hand, left the main hall, and returned to his official residence.

He hadn't been so angry that he left the governor's mansion rashly at the critical moment when the new governor was about to take office.

Seeing the back of Guan Mi leaving, Xue Zhongzhang had a smug smile on his face, and when everyone was paying attention to the inner hall, he quietly left the main hall.

At this time, a person approached from the side. This person was not tall, but he looked quite heroic, but his eyes flickered, but he carried shrewd calculations. This person was Wei Wenxu from Xiaoshan County. .

Seeing Wen Xu bowing slightly to Xue Zhongzhang, not knowing what he said, a smile appeared on Xue Zhongzhang's face, and then the two left together, and the direction they were heading was exactly the recorder's The official residence of Guan Mi, who joined the army.

After the two of them disappeared completely, Zhou Qian's figure walked out of the darkness, and then quietly retreated into the darkness, as if he had never appeared before.

……

Yuan Jiazuo was allowed to sit at the top, Lai Jingye sat at the bottom, Li Xuan and Ji Xiao each sat at the bottom, followed by Hu Yu, the governor of Hangzhou, Yuan Yi, Sima, and Zhang Chun, the soldier who joined the army. As for Yu Ze and Lai Sui, they sat After the sides, note the main points.

Li Xuan cupped his hands to the crowd and said: "When Xiao Wang was in Yangzhou, he intercepted the news that the people of the East Sea King planned to take advantage of the Hangzhou navy's eastward expedition to collude with the Zhoushan pirates and invade Hangzhou."

Speaking of this, Li Xuan paused for a moment, his eyes swept across the faces of Lai Jingye and Yuan Jiazuo, the expressions of the two were calm, without the slightest panic, Li Xuan knew instantly that the truth of the Eastern Expedition this time had been spread among the upper echelons open.

There were so many people participating in the Xiaochao meeting that day, and after a long time, the truth of the related matter would naturally spread.

The uncle who came to Jingye was Laiji, the servant of Huangmen, and there were people behind Yuan Jiazuo. Although the preparations for the southeast navy are in full swing, in fact, they already know the truth about the aid to the east.

Li Xuan clasped his hands and continued: "For matters at sea, the Hangzhou navy has already started planning to clean up the pirates in Zhoushan before going out to make them unable to attack the pirates in the west. However, for matters on land, the king of the East China Sea... According to Bai Qisi It is rumored that the [-] black soldiers who never showed up during the Tianyin Sect's rebellion period have all been brought under the command of the King of the East Sea, and if Xiaowang's prediction is correct, they should take action this time."

"Is the news accurate?" Lai Jingye finally spoke with a solemn expression.

Regarding the Zhoushan pirates, the Hangzhou navy has the ability to take them all in one go, but once the nine hundred black soldiers attack Hangzhou at night without the city being prepared, most of the city will fall, at least they will be burned and killed. No loss counts.

Lai Jingye did not expect that such a big trouble would come just after he took over as governor of Hangzhou.

"It's true!" Li Xuan turned around and cupped his hands at Yuan Jiazuo, and said, "The two scholars who were robbed by the black pawns before have been recaptured. Unlike last time, they were recaptured this time. People will explain it directly.”

"My lord, please tell me." Yuan Jiazuo nodded after hearing the details clearly.

Li Xuan continued: "The two of them originally hid in a secret cave deep in Tianmu Mountain, and were later transferred to Hangzhou. Then someone gave them false identities through operation. The navy is moving, but the new recruits of the navy only recruit the children of aristocratic families from all over Wuyue, not civilians, so the two of them designed a scene in which the long street stimulates the horses to get out of control, but it is a pity that firstly, there is this king, and secondly, those are war horses."

When Lai Jingye heard this, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, the crime of plotting war horses for murdering people is punishable by death. If you are not dead, you will be reduced by one grade, and those who follow you will be reduced by two grades.

"It seems that they are sure that even if something goes wrong, they will be rescued." Lai Jingye couldn't help but sneer.

"I followed the vines and found the secret cave, but there was no one there." Li Xuan shook her head in disappointment, and said to Jingye: "This matter is useless, but there is no danger. The men of the East China Sea King originally planned to sneak into the new cave. The navy that was being built, inquired about the movements of the navy, and then cooperated with the Zhoushan pirates inside and outside to sabotage our army's trip, but unfortunately, all kinds of tricks failed, but this king doesn't think they will stop because of this."

"If you can't outwit it, then you have to attack by force." Yuan Jiazuo sneered, and said: "The Hangzhou navy was transferred away and encountered a surprise attack. Even if the navy can wipe out the Zhoushan pirates in time, the city of Hangzhou will still be severely damaged. The governor understands that a group of soldiers from the Kuaiji Mansion will arrive quietly on the day the navy departs, just waiting for the rebels to come."

"Then thank you, Dudu." Lai Jingye stood up and bowed deeply to Yuan Jiazuo.

"Brother Jingye, you're being polite." Yuan Jiazuo smiled gently, helped Jingye up in the future, and said at the same time: "I haven't left Hangzhou yet, but I'm not an outsider."

When Yuan Jiazuo said something, everyone present laughed at the same time.

The laughter slowed down, and Li Xuan said: "This matter is generally under control, but there is still one thing that must be guarded against."

"My lord, please speak!" Lai Jingye suddenly became solemn.

"That's internal response." Li Xuan sneered coldly, and said with a little disgust: "The fact that the two of them were able to change their identities to enter Hangzhou State University shows that the person behind them has enough energy to facilitate this, and there are even more things. Now in the Hangzhou mansion, there are even more internal responses, and when the time comes, internal responses and external cooperation, even if we have already prepared, we still need to be careful."

"This person must be found." Lai Jingye's face completely sank now.

In the short term, this person threatened the safety of Hangzhou City, but in the long run, he had already threatened his official career.

The most important thing is that he is still a member of the King of the East China Sea. If the empress knows that he has clues about the king of the East China Sea and fails to capture him, then he will immediately lose points with the empress.

Seeing Lai Jingye's resolute expression, Li Xuan nodded slightly, and subconsciously looked outside the hall.

The pit has been dug, will Xue Zhongzhang jump in?
Only when he jumps in, can Li Xuan use him to hook Pei Yan.
