In the early morning, at the East Post of Weicheng, countless Jinwu Guards soldiers came from the gate of Chang'an City, completely blocking the entire post inside and outside.
"It's been a restless night!"
Li Xuan stood in the courtyard, arms stretched out, letting the morning light shine on herself, with a look of satisfaction and disappointment on her face.
Then, he turned to look at Qin Jun on one side and said softly: "Please bring out the person inside. It's time for us to enter the city."
"Here!" Qin Jun didn't hesitate at all. He strode to one side and lifted out Ashina Nishugo, who was being watched closely by four Jinwu guards.
After not sleeping well all night, Ashina Mukai looked quite embarrassed, with red eyes and a hooked nose, looking like a wolf that had just been put up all night.
Ashina Nishugo suddenly threw away the Qianniu Guards on both sides, stood in front of Li Xuan, stared at him, gritted his teeth and said: "Well, I didn't gain anything last night, so I must have disappointed the King of Nanchang. "
"How could there be no harvest?" Li Xuan's face showed a hint of surprise. He looked at Ni Shuke, shook his head, and said softly: "Don't you understand, General Zhonglang? Last night, the entire post station did not suffer any attacks. This shows that Zhong Lang’s internal response in the city will be greatly affected by the curfew.”
Li Xuan's words made Ashina Nishugo's expression change drastically.
Li Xuan smiled coldly with disdain, and then said: "This will be enough to tell the position of the general Zhonglang in the Jinwu Guard."
Jinwu Guard, Ashina Nishucuo's pupils were shaken. He couldn't help but asked Li Xuan in disbelief: "The person who delivered the news to Ben Khan was actually from the Jinwu Guard?"
"So it turns out that General Zhonglang doesn't know the same thing?" Li Xuan sighed without any surprise, shrugged, and said: "Qianniu Guard is strict internally, and if there is any doubt, it will be discarded immediately; Chang'an Wannian Second County, all The reach is too low; the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment are currently undergoing self-examination, so the only ones that can still play a role at this time are Jinwu Guard and Yongzhou Prefecture."
"Yongzhou Prefecture, what happened to Yongzhou Prefecture? Why couldn't someone from Yongzhou Prefecture send the message to this Khan?" Ashina Nishugui raised his head, his eyes full of anger, and he looked at Li Xuan with gritted teeth.
"Of course it's possible, why can't it be, so people from Dali Temple have been monitoring all the people in Yongzhou Prefecture who may have access to relevant information since last night." Li Xuan leaned forward slightly and stared directly at He asked Ashina Nishugui and said with an indifferent expression: "This king had already made arrangements when he left Chang'an yesterday."
Although Yongzhou Prefecture is the largest organization on the ground in Chang'an, in fact, its power is far less than that of the governor of other states.
Yongzhou Prefecture has jurisdiction over various counties. The Wannian County Magistrate of Chang'an County is a senior official of the fifth rank, and even has the right to participate in the imperial meeting.
For small things, there is the magistrate of Chang'an County, and for big things, there are Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment.
Qianniu Guards, Jinwu Guards, as well as left and right markets and censors can all take care of the affairs on the streets of Chang'an.
The power and responsibility of Yongzhou Prefecture is only that of other nearby counties, and it has no control over Chang'an City at all.
But once something happens, Yongzhou Mansion will be the first to take the blame. They are all qualified to hear about whoever makes these things happen.
But in fact, there are not many real officials in Yongzhou Prefecture, many of them are underemployed, and even fewer can touch high-level secrets.
When Li Xian was appointed as the shepherd of Yongzhou, Li Xian was actually raised as the prince because the prince Li Hong was sick as an adult.
The Yongzhou government office is actually equivalent to an official subordinate to the prince.
Li Xian already had Prince Yong's Mansion at that time, and Yongzhou's pastoral staff could not be too full.
Hearing Li Xuan say that Dali Temple was used to monitor the Yongzhou Prefecture's police, Ashina Nishugui couldn't help but crack the corners of his mouth, and said with a silent smile: "That's why Dali Temple was missed."
"Dali Temple is not allowed to hear the official documents issued by the Jinwu Guards yesterday." Li Xuan walked to the center of the courtyard and said calmly: "The duty of Dali Temple is to dig out the mastermind behind all this in the city. , has nothing to do with arresting you."
Li Xuan looked at Ashina Nishuke and said with a sneer: "The most important thing is that your expression just now has...
I have told this king that that person is among Zuo Jinwu's guards, and that this person's position cannot be too low. If you throw away the general and the two generals, the two middle-ranking generals, and the long history, the rest can be informed. There are only nine people, Zhucao Canjun and Zuojie Envoy, just check. "
Li Xuan turned her head and looked at Chang Shi Yao Yi. Yao Yi immediately held up his hands and walked away quickly.
The corner of Ashina Nishugui's mouth twitched slightly, he clenched his teeth and lowered his head, but in his heart he was filled with hope, hoping that that person would not really be there.
Ashina Nishugo actually didn't know the true identity of that person, but judging from the means and channels used by the other party to transmit information these days, he was basically sure that the person was among the Jinwu Guards, but he was not sure whether it was Zuo Jinwu. , or Right Kingo.
However, the Zuo Jinwu guard of the King of Nanchang was responsible for the hunt for him this time, so this person must be among Zuo Jinwu.
Now the King of Nanchang has also seen this.
A rush of footsteps sounded outside the hospital. Yao Yi quickly walked in from the outside and delivered a secret letter to Li Xuan's hand.
Li Xuan glanced at the secret letter, and then looked at Ashina Nishugo with a half-smile.
Seeing Li Xuan's weird smile, Ashina Nishugo was suddenly surprised at what kind of expression it was.
Could it be that they had already caught that person? It shouldn't have been more time.
"According to the order, General Zuo Xiaowei Zhonglang will lead his men to return to Chang'an on their own. Jinwu Guard and Qianniu Guard will escort them secretly." Li Xuan couldn't help laughing.
Yesterday, he captured Jieli's grandson Ashina Gana and returned to the city. He forced Ashina Fuwu, who was going to take Ashina Gana back to the grassland, to slander him as a bandit deep in the Qinling Mountains, and he was still alive. Ashina Gana killed it with his own hands.
For those in the know, one can imagine how great the impact was.
Now, Empress Wu ordered Ashina Nishugui to return to Chang'an on her own.
It was clear that Ashina Nisukug had escaped and returned to Chang'an on his own. This was obviously telling everyone inside and outside that the Turks had given up on reestablishing the Khanate and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty again. This time the crisis was completely over. .
Ashina Nishugo also figured this out, and his face instantly became extremely embarrassed.
"Come here, send Zuo Xiaowei Zhonglang back to Chang'an. Remember, he looks like this. There is no need to help him wash up." Li Xuan's words made Ashina Nishupei's face even more embarrassed.
Escape, unable to escape, and finally forced to return in a state of embarrassment.
There is nothing more embarrassing in this world.
Walking past Li Xuan, Ashina Nishugui couldn't help but said: "Isn't the King of Nanchang afraid that I will be rescued?"
The news that Ashina Nishugui has returned to Chang'an has probably been known to others, and it is very likely that people have been organized to carry out rescue operations.
Seeing Ashina Nishuke with an expectant look on his face, Li Xuan shook his head expressionlessly and said, "I think General Zhonglang is thinking about trouble. Since General Zhonglang has returned to Chang'an, how can he escape from Chang'an again?" .
The most useful thing for the schemer behind the scenes now is the head of General Zhonglang.
Only in this way can he inspire the grassland tribes to rebel. Therefore, what Zhonglang Jiang needs to do most now is to save his head. "
Li Xuan waved her hand indifferently, and several Jinwu guards immediately pushed Ashina Nishuku out.
The corner of Ashina Nishugui's mouth twitched, but he still had to go out.
Because he knows that now he has become a tool for all parties to play games.
One side wants to use his head to force the grassland tribe to rebel; the other side wants to find those people behind the scenes, without caring about his life or death.
If he was killed under the heavy protection of the imperial court, then the grassland tribe would naturally blame the imperial court.
But if he himself was killed on the way back, then no matter whether he was an insider or an uninformed person, it would be difficult to blame the court. Even if they took the opportunity to find the mastermind behind the scenes, and put everything on the other side. body, then the grassland tribes will follow the imperial court and attack each other crazily. .z.
And this black hand must be Tubo.
Next spring, the imperial court will summon the entourage of Turkic tribes to conquer Tubo. Once he dies, the Turks will become even more crazy.
When walking through the city gate, Ashina Nishugui was most worried that the imperial court would send someone pretending to be an assassin to kill him.
Killing him not only warned the world, but also framed everything on the Tubo people.
If the center really thinks that way, then Ashina Nishugo must die no matter what.
Fortunately, the journey was peaceful. Ashina Nishu entered Chang'an City and was sent back to his mansion by countless guards, both overt and covert. However, except for an old servant, the court left him with nothing. .
No one came to interrogate him, he was just asked to bow and reflect on himself.
Ashina Nisuke was sitting in the empty lobby, looking outside the city, still with a trace of hope in her heart.
Anyway, at least his daughter escaped.
Ashina Yun, the smartest prairie pearl, has escaped, and everything has a chance.
Xuanyangfang.
Li Xuan quickly walked into a two-entry courtyard. Although the courtyard was not big, everything in the courtyard was very exquisite.
Osmanthus trees, chrysanthemum beds, swings, and an exquisite carriage.
It can be seen that someone is taking care of it carefully every day.
The people of Jinwu Guard and Dali Temple surrounded everything inside and outside. What was Dali Temple asking for? Di Renjie, the chief minister of Dali Temple, was investigating the scene with all his strength. Only the middle man of Jinwu Guard, General Assuzong, stood on one side with a look on his face. Extremely embarrassing.
Check the internal response, check the internal response, and finally find the head of one of our own people.
Seeing Li Xuan enter the door, everyone present put down their matters at the same time, raised their hands to Li Xuan and said, "I have met the prince."
"Everyone, please get up." Li Xuan raised his head slightly and looked at Masizong on one side, who smiled bitterly and held his hand to Li Xuan.
Beside him, a piece of white silk hung from the roof.
On the couch, lay the body of a middle-aged man in his thirties wearing white clothes with bruises on his neck.
"Is this Liu Guangye, the official who joined the army as a recorder?" Li Xuan walked to the bed and looked at Liu Guangye's body on the bed. Suddenly, Li Xuan stopped, sniffed, and asked, "He drank alcohol last night."
Behind him, Di Renjie took half a step forward and looked at the table: "Yes, Your Majesty, half of the wine in the jug on the table is gone."
Masaki Sect on one side sighed softly and said: "If a nobleman like him doesn't drink, how dare he die so easily!"
Masizong couldn't help but shook his head, looking at Li Xuan with worries in his eyes.
Now he finally understood the reason why the Queen asked the King of Nanchang to intervene in the case.
The reason is that Jin Wuwei is suspected.
Asa Sect was in trouble now, especially since he was born into a noble family of Baekje. In his early years, he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty with the left-leading general Heiji Changzhi. He was a surrendered general. He finally accumulated merit and was transferred to the position of Zhonglang General of the Qianniu Guard, but now he is involved. In the midst of such a turmoil, he was in big trouble.
Liu Guangye was the nephew of former Prime Minister Liu Xiangdao and the son of Li Wanshun, the lord of Wenxi County.
Li Wanshun, the lord of Wenxi County, was the second daughter of Prince Yin Li Jiancheng.
