Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Hanguang Buddhist Temple, in front of the steps.

"Amitabha, you are so good. On behalf of the monks of Hanguang Temple, I welcome King Yan!" The kind-hearted old monk bowed and recited the Buddha's name.

"Master Samantabhadra is so polite. Today is the memorial day of the Great Sage Emperor Zetian. I am here to see her spiritual position."

Regarding this compassionate old monk, Fan Xin responded politely without the slightest bit of princely airs.

"Amitabha!" The old monk said nothing more, turned sideways and made an invitation gesture to let him out of the mountain door.

Fan Xin nodded and walked into Hanguang Temple with his hands behind his back. As soon as he entered the mountain gate, his eyes suddenly became brighter.

The majestic Mahavira Palace stands in the center of the square, with a row of monks standing on both sides of the road leading to the palace gate with their heads bowed and chanting sutras.

Before Fan Xin could speak, Li Lang rushed into the main hall with Qianniu Guard to check whether it was safe.

The remaining guards were responsible for checking the monks present.

When the sun was at its peak, Li Lang led Qian Niuwei out of the Main Hall and said to Fan Xin.

"Prince Qi, the official has completed the inspection. Everything in Hanguang Temple is normal and no danger has been found."

"Okay, you guys stay outside while I go in to see the aura of the Great Sage Emperor."

"Yes!" A group of Qianniu Guards bowed and clasped their fists.

Fan Xin glanced at the main hall in front of him, took a deep breath, and walked into the main hall.

As the door of the palace closed, the light inside instantly dimmed, and a spiritual tablet was placed in front of the Buddha image in the curls of green smoke, with the words Zetian Great Sage Emperor written on it.

Seeing this sign, Fan Xin's eyes flashed with a complex look.

To be honest, he had never peeked at Li Tang's country, let alone thought of establishing himself as king.

However, tigers do not harm people, but people do harm to tigers. Li Longji attacked him again and again. If he remained indifferent, everyone who followed him would probably die.

Therefore, he could only stand up and get rid of Li Longji and replace him with an obedient "Han Xian Emperor" to take charge of the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, it is not my intention to be crowned emperor. I hope that the world will be peaceful, but I am afraid that I will break my promise..."

"I hope you won't blame Wei Chen."

As soon as he finished speaking, a heavy footsteps sounded in the empty Main Hall, walking from the back hall to the side door on the right, and then stopped in the darkness of the corner.

At the same time, a slightly hoarse voice sounded.

"Fan Xin, before his death, the late emperor asked you to help the Tang Dynasty and be a dedicated Zhuge Liang."

"But you went against her last wish and mobilized troops to attack Hanzhong without authorization. Aren't you afraid that the Great Sage Emperor will cut you into pieces under Jiuquan?"

Facing this cold murderous intention, Fan Xin turned a deaf ear and inserted three pillars of fragrance into the incense burner.

"I have never explained anything to anyone in my life. Today, I can tell you clearly in front of the Great Sage Emperor Zetian."

"Zhuge Liang is still the same Zhuge Liang, but Li Longji is not Liu Bei who cherishes his talents!"

"On the basis of some achievements when he first came to the throne, he began to lose his ambition and indulged in drinking and sex all day long. Such an emperor is not worthy of having me serve for him!"

The black shadow snorted coldly: "What a crazy tone. No wonder His Majesty said that you only have the former Emperor in your eyes and not the current Majesty. I didn't believe it before, but now it seems that it is indeed the case!"

"Tell me, how do you want to die?"

After Fan Xin paid homage to Wu Zetian's memorial tablet, he turned around and looked around the corner.

"I have faced life and death several times, but I have never experienced being beaten to death. Just use your fists."

"But before that, can you tell me, this dying man, who you are?"

After hearing these words, there was a little silence around the corner, and then he appeared.

"It is indeed you... Tiangang!"

Looking at the familiar face in front of him, Fan Xin sighed without any surprise.

In fact, he did not doubt Tiangang at the beginning, but pointed the conflict at the Eighteen Taibao, who was more suspicious.

Because the latter came from a rough background, he only followed him in recent years.

But Tiangang is different. He has been following him since before he became rich, and he doesn't look like someone who would betray him.

But the reality is often very cruel. The person who hides the most around him turns out to be a veteran who has been following him for more than ten years.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Tiangang's mouth.

"Judging from your expression, it seems that you have suspected it was me for a long time. You are worthy of Fan Xin, who is known as Little Zhuge. Tiangang admires you!"

"Why betray me?" Fan Xin asked with a frown.

"Betrayal?" Tiangang was startled? Then he burst into laughter.

"Fan Xin, Fan Xin, you are so smart all your life, but you are so confused for a moment. A minister like you has been promoted several times within a year. Do you think the court will not monitor you?"

"For the sake of your death, I might as well tell you that when the Eighteen Taibao defected to you, Tiangang had already been secretly killed by me."

"Strictly speaking, the person appearing in front of you now should be the bad guy of the Tang Dynasty, the wind user in the wind, thunder, rain and lightning!"

"How about it, now you can die in peace, right?"

"I see. I didn't expect that a lowly police officer like the Bad People of the Tang Dynasty could secretly be a powerful organization that collects intelligence and has many experts."

"No wonder Li Longji is confident. With you, he is indeed in an invincible position." Fan Xin said with emotion.

Looking up at the moment, Tiangang slowly pulled out the soft sword from his waist and narrowed his eyes.

"Now that you know the truth, Feng will not keep you, and will send you on your way!"

As he spoke, the soft sword stabbed Fan Xin's throat like a poisonous dragon mixed with bursts of sonic booms.

The speed was so fast that Fan Xin didn't even blink, and the tip of the sword reached three inches in front of his throat.

However, just when the soft sword was about to penetrate the skin, it suddenly stopped.

Tiangang's eyelids twitched suddenly, and he glanced back in disbelief, where Liu Zi was holding a purple gold hammer against his neck.

Tiangang even felt the cold murderous intent coming from the tip of the hammer.

"No, it's impossible. Why are you faster than me?"

The corner of Liuzi's mouth curled up with a hint of sarcasm.

"Tiangang, do you really think that this is all Master Six is ​​capable of? Do you believe that I can cut off your head before you even move your sword?"

The two had known each other for many years, and Tiangang naturally knew that Liuzi was not a big talker. Since he dared to say that, he must be sure of death, so he took the initiative to take back the soft sword.

Seeing this, Liuzi also took back the purple gold hammer, but his tiger eyes were still staring at Tiangang.

After controlling the situation in the Main Hall, the palace door opened, and hundreds of Qianniu Guards poured in, surrounding Tiangang.

"Your Majesty, do you want to kill this traitor?" Several eunuchs asked murderously.

"No need yet." Signaling everyone to exit the hall, Fan Xin came to Tiangang with his hands behind his back and said calmly.

"Tiangang, tell me who the bad handsome man is, and I won't kill you."

Tiangang sneered, his expression full of disdain.

"Fan Xin, do you think Liuzi can catch me when he appears? It's a joke. I think what I am best at is speed."

"It might not be that easy to kill you, but it's just a dream to keep me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tiangang flew to the top of the main hall on his tiptoes. His speed was so fast that by the time Liuzi reacted, he had already reached the height of the palm of the Buddha's hand.

"Hahaha, seeing that this is my speed, next time we meet again, I will personally take your sex..."

"Oh!"

After the gunshot, Tiangang's voice suddenly stopped, and he fell headfirst to the ground like a bird, with a look of disbelief on his face. "Impossible. It takes time for a flintlock gun to fire projectiles. How can your fire system be so fast?"

"Nothing is impossible." Fan Xin blew the smoke from the muzzle of the gun, walked to Tiangang with his short uniform, squatted down and said.

"Our weapons in the Tang Dynasty are improving with each passing day. How can you, a killer who lives in the darkness, know about it?"

"You should know my methods. As long as I catch you, there are a hundred ways to make you speak."

"I want to tell you the identity of the bad handsome man because you have been with me for more than ten years."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

This time Tiangang did not speak loudly, but remained silent for a while.

After a long time, he shook his head with a wry smile, covering his chest and said.

"After all, it's the famous Prince Yan who uses all kinds of tricks. Well, I can tell you, but you have to let me go."

"can!"

After getting a positive answer, Tiangang hesitated and said.

"Actually, bad guys are a very large organization. They are located all over the Tang Dynasty. They usually appear to the world as spies and hard laborers."

"Once the emperor is in danger, he will quickly gather together to launch endless attacks on the target."

"The reason why you are not in danger now is because the emperor still has illusions about the imperial army and hopes that they will annihilate the Youzhou Army in the Tuanyou area."

"Then I will execute you openly in front of everyone in the world."

"If I knew the truth, I would definitely call in bad guys and strangle you in Luoyang without hesitation."

Regarding Tiangang's threats, Fan Xin did not comment. There were many people in the world who wanted to kill him, and it was not a good time yet.

"Okay, without further ado, tell me who the bad guy is who commands this mysterious organization?"

Seeing Fan Xin's disapproval, Tiangang sneered and said.

"Bad Handsome is not mysterious from beginning to end. He is in Luoyang and has dealt with you more than once."

"It seems to be someone named..."

Tiangang's words stopped and he froze on the spot, a trace of bright red blood dripping down the corner of his mouth.

"No, the enemy is attacking!" Sensing the abnormality of Tiangang, Liuzi's expression changed drastically, and he immediately opened the window and chased out.

At the same time, the palace door burst open, and Li Lang rushed in with Qianniu Guards, guarding Fan Xin firmly behind him.

In about half a stick of incense, Liuzi walked into the hall with a gloomy face.

"Your Majesty, your humble duty and incompetence allowed that man to escape!"

"It doesn't matter, we have got the most important news today. As for the identity of the bad handsome man, we will investigate slowly later."

After taking a look at Tiangang, who had been dead for a long time, Fan Xin waved his hand and ordered someone to take him back.

This trip to Hanguang Temple was too important for him. Not only did he learn about the bad people of the Tang Dynasty, but he also dug out the killer lurking around him, which was considered a complete achievement.

After returning to Prince Yan's Mansion, Liu Zi opened the door and walked in, hesitated and said.

"Your Majesty, Tiangang is a spy sent by bad people. Do you want to arrest the remaining dozen Taibao for interrogation?"

Hearing this, Fan Xin turned around and glanced at Liu Zi, shook his head and said.

"Forget it, don't chill the hearts of the brothers. Planting one Tiangang is already the limit of bad people. If you plant two more, it will only show their incomparable stupidity."

"Put this matter aside for now. I have something for you to do..."

……

The Prince's Mansion in the East Palace.

The atmosphere here was solemn at this time. Several East Palace officials stood bowed and looked at Li Ying in front of the door.

"Wang Dehan, is your news true?"

An official named Wang Dehan bowed and replied: "His Royal Highness, it is absolutely true that the longevity king Li Xuan was found hanged at home a few days ago."

"It is said that Concubine Hui also fell into a coma due to the pain of losing her son."

"The harem is now in complete chaos, and people are panicking."

After hearing these words, Li Ying slapped her palm on the doorpost and said excitedly.

"That's great. God is really helping me. Originally, I was worried that the old emperor would change his title to the crown prince for the sake of Li Xuan's dedication to his wife."

"Now it seems that Gu is overthinking. As long as Concubine Wu Hui is defeated, no one in the harem will be Gu's opponent anymore, hahaha!"

Looking at the extremely proud prince, several officials looked at each other, and finally Wang Dehan said bravely.

"Your Royal Highness, you are too happy too early. According to rumors in the palace, Your Majesty intends to change Li Heng to be the crown prince."

"In the past few days, Supervisor Gao Lishi has often been to Li Heng's house, presumably to discuss changing the crown prince."

"What did you say? The old man wants to make Li Heng the crown prince?" Li Ying thought she had heard wrongly. Since ancient times, the old emperor had ordered his eldest son to be the prince, and the old emperor had left his eldest son alone and went so far as to canonize his younger son.

This was simply outrageous. When she thought of the tragic scene of her mother's death, Li Ying wished she could kill this foolish emperor Li Longji with her own hands.

Seeing this, Wang Dehan sighed and advised bitterly.

"Your Highness, I know what you are thinking, so you should put it aside. Although Your Majesty has been suppressed by King Yan for the time being."

"But he is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty after all, and we alone are no match for him."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a chuckle sounded from outside the hall.

"Mr. Wang's words are serious. The prince is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. What's wrong with wanting to seek justice for himself?" After saying that, he strode into the palace.

"You are General Zhou Xie of Youjinwu Guard!"

Everyone in the Prince's Mansion exclaimed when they saw the visitor, their eyes filled with disbelief, as if they didn't expect him to appear here.

Unlike everyone else, Li Ying showed a confident and indifferent look.

"How about everyone, Gu Lian has brought out the power that he has hidden for many years. You don't have to relax anymore this time, right?"

Looking away from Zhou Xie, Wang Dehan saluted Li Ying.

"Your Highness the Emperor, I dare to ask, how many men does General Zhou have under his command?"

When it comes to coups and usurping the throne, if the number of people is too small, it will not work at all.

Knowing what everyone was thinking, Li Ying smiled lightly.

"Not many, about eight thousand! With the support of King Yan, there are eleven thousand people in Luoyang City alone!"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were shocked and all looked excited.

The emperor only has more than 5,000 Yulin guards in the city. If what the prince said is true, then they can indeed get rid of Li Longji and successfully ascend the throne.

At this thought, several ministers immediately fell to the ground and shouted long live long live long live long live.

Signaling the ministers to stand behind her, Li Ying looked towards Xingqing Palace with her hands behind her back.

"The old guy looks down on Gu, now it's time to let him know how powerful Gu is!"

"Come here, summon the generals above Zhonglang immediately, I will attack the palace tonight!"

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" All the officials bowed and responded.
