The sky in the east was bright. Li Xuan stood at the door of the study across the backyard of the Governor's Mansion and handed a sealed memorial to Zhou Qian: "Send this memorial four hundred miles away and send it to the East Palace immediately."
"Follow the order!" Zhou Qian immediately raised his hands solemnly, took the memorial, and left quickly.
It is getting dark and the city gate is about to open. We need to select people so that we can set off as soon as the city gate opens.
Watching Zhou Qian walk out of the courtyard, Li Xuan said softly: "Uncle Yu, do you think Xue Zhongzhang already knows about this?"
"It doesn't matter if you know or don't know." Yu Ze walked out of the study and said a little tiredly: "Even if Secretary Xue had a warrant from the Minister of Punishment and sent a message to Chang'an, he would only have to travel three hundred miles to expedite it, but The report to the Central Committee by Your Majesty the King and Dou Weng is five hundred miles away, and the memorial to the prince is four hundred miles away. No matter how much he plans, I have the opportunity to take advantage of this matter."
Expedited delivery is not something that can be used by just anyone.
In addition to treason, Dou Xuande is the ambassador of Jiangnan Road, and he can expedite five hundred miles in an emergency.
Li Xuan gave the report to Prince Li Xian. It was allowed by the emperor and had holy will. What could Xue Zhongzhang do?
But having said that, Li Xuan really wanted to see what this secretary man could do.
Or to be more precise, Pei Yan.
Did the Minister of Punishment's layout in the court involve military intelligence reports? If so, then Li Xuan has an important weapon that can kill Pei Yan...
Li Xuan couldn't help but glance at Chang'an, and sighed softly: "There is a political dispute in the court!"
Li Xuan is now just involved in the affairs of the East Island. There are so many dense and complicated power struggles that he can't even count them.
Now just being Pei Yan requires him to deal with it with all his strength.
Fortunately, Wu Chengsi did not intervene, otherwise, Li Xuan would have looked for help from outside for this matter.
Li Xuan turned to Yu Ze and said, "Uncle Yu, go back and rest. There is one last thing to do today. Once it's done, my responsibility for waiting for Dongdao can be considered completed."
"Here!" Yu Ze took a deep breath, slightly cupped his hands, and then walked out of the small courtyard.
Standing at the door of the small courtyard, Yu Ze looked back and saw that the light in the study was still on.
Opposite to the entrance of the courtyard where Silla Misdemeanor Qin Dujiaogan was located, four Qianniu guards were still waiting closely.
The brown carriage slowly stopped in front of the Grand Governor's Mansion, the guards on both sides spread out, and the coachman put the horse stool to one side.
In the carriage, Prince Jin Renwen of Linhai County nodded to his confidant Cui Zhongshi, then got out of the carriage alone, and then solemnly walked into the Governor's Mansion with several guards.
The carriage was pulled by the driver to the side of the courtyard wall, and a birdcage was taken out from a secret compartment by Cui Zhong's attendant.
Just when Cui Zhongshi was about to open the birdcage and let the emerald bird out, suddenly, a rapid sound of horse hooves sounded outside. Cui Zhongshi was slightly startled, immediately put away the emerald bird, and then walked out from the car curtain. The gap looks out.
A whole team of Qianniu Guards were heading towards the southeast street in a hurry. The leader of the crowd was none other than Li Xuan.
A group of people moved very fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Cui Zhongshi frowned slightly, put his head out, and whispered: "Go and ask, what did King Nanchang do?"
"Here!" A figure quickly went away and came back after a moment.
"Replying to the Attendant, the King of Nanchang went to the Southeast Shipyard to inspect the rest of the warships."
"I know." Cui Zhong responded, his face already extremely gloomy.
The demon monk Wu Hui is over, so is Li Niannian, and their plan to do something against the Yangzhou Navy is also over.
"The King of the East China Sea is gone." With a soft sigh, Cui Zhongshi opened the birdcage, and immediately, the birdcage flew into the courtyard.
"Pulling, pulling." The emerald bird quickly flew over the courtyard wall and then landed back in the carriage.
Cui Zhongshi, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't help but be slightly startled, wondering why the news came back so quickly today.
Without hesitation, Cui Zhongshi immediately opened the secret letter. On the secret letter, there were only four words: "Be careful, be careful."
Although his words were a bit meaningless, Cui Zhongshi knew that Qin Dujiao was asking him to be cautious.
Just as he was about to destroy the note, Cui Zhongshi was suddenly startled. He immediately turned the note over and saw that on the back of the small note, it was written in messy characters: "Nanchang, Daozhen."
The handwriting was so messy that even Mo fainted. If Cui Zhongshi hadn't been familiar with Qin Yujiagan's calligraphy, he wouldn't have recognized it at all.
Nanchang is naturally the king of Nanchang, Daozhen, Zen Daozhen, and the monk Daozhen of the Japanese country.
The King of Nanchang and Monk Daozhen, the King of Nanchang is looking for Monk Daozhen.
Cui Zhongshi's eyes instantly stood up, and then he remembered that just the day before yesterday, the King of Nanchang disappeared one afternoon.
No matter how much I checked, I couldn't find out what was going on. Even the people from the King of East China Sea couldn't find out what was going on.
Now, Qin Obtuse Angle Gan brought the news.
Cui Zhongshi frowned slightly. He did not doubt the authenticity of this information. He just did not understand how Qin Obtuse Angle Gan obtained such information.
Cui Zhongshi's eyes fell on the note again.
What did the King of Nanchang want to do with Monk Daozhen?
Did the King of Nanchang find Monk Daozhen, or did he want to contact the Japanese country through him?
Cui Zhongshi was immediately shocked. He had not forgotten that more than ten years ago, when the Tang Dynasty and Silla were still allies, the Japanese and Baekje coalition forces jointly attacked the Tang Dynasty and Silla, and the famous naval battle of Shirakawakou took place.
In that battle, tens of thousands of Baekje and Japanese soldiers fled in confusion, and tens of thousands of corpses were just thrown into the sea.
After that, Japan no longer had the power to invade the East Island, but now, more than ten years have passed. King Tianwu of Japan has been in power since he was a prince. Although he has only been on the throne for three years, he is working hard to govern and the national power is developing rapidly. If Let them get help from Datang...
But under the current situation, does Japan have the time to organize its army to fight in the north?
Cui Zhongshi thought about the situation of Japan and calculated the possible impact on Silla once Tang and Japan joined forces.
Suddenly, Cui Zhongshi's expression changed, and his expression instantly turned terrifyingly cold.
It is true that Japan did not have many troops to attack Silla, but Silla did not have many troops to defend Japan.
Now Datang and Silla are facing each other on the front line. Once the Japanese take advantage of the emptiness in Silla's hinterland and attack from the south, it won't take long to penetrate directly into Jincheng.
Thinking of that scene, Cui Zhongshi couldn't help but sweatdrops all over his body.
The Japanese state was actually nothing. Even if they attacked Jincheng, they would not be able to have much impact on Silla, but the Tang Dynasty was different.
Once the commanders of the Tang army sensed Silla's troubles, they would immediately seize this flaw and pursue them fiercely.
Once the Tang army is allowed to attack Jincheng, the consequences...
They have already breached Pyongyang once.
"Thank you, Sima Xiang." A gentle voice came from outside the car. Cui Zhongshi immediately stuffed the note in his hand into his sleeve and put the birdcage back into the secret compartment.
The next moment, the car curtain opened, and Linhai County Prince Jin Renwen sat in from the outside.
Cui Zhongshi quickly raised his hands and asked, "Your Majesty, how is the situation?"
"On the third day of next month, the army will gather in Dengzhou and prepare to go to sea depending on the weather." Jin Renwen's face was extremely solemn. He looked at Cui Zhongshi and said, "I will follow the king of Nanchang in the same boat."
"Your Majesty is going back to Silla." Cui Zhongshi's eyes widened in surprise.
Jin Renwen was named King of Silla by the Tang Dynasty, with the purpose of sending him back to Silla to replace King Wenwu.
But in fact, since Silla's misdemeanor envoy Qin Yujiaogan landed in the Tang Dynasty, Jin Renwen's footsteps were stopped, and he finally stayed in Yangzhou.
Now, he is finally going back to Silla, and the Tang Dynasty is finally going to make him the King of Silla. The Tang Dynasty's attitude this time is finally clear.
"The most the Tang Dynasty can do is to let Brother Wang step down. The Tang Dynasty doesn't want to see what happened in Baekje."
Again, so they would still let the Silla royal family rule Silla. The Tang Dynasty would only have one surrendered vassal state, and then leave a small number of naval forces stationed on Jeju Island. The other armies would withdraw to the Tang Dynasty, and then trade and travel would continue as in the early years. Jin Renwen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he was appointed as the King of Silla by the Tang Emperor, Jin Renwen was still most worried that the Tang Dynasty would destroy Silla. Now that he got the answer that it was definitely not the case, he was finally relieved of his worries. .
Cui Zhongshi, who was on the side, felt a hint of gloom deep in his heart.
He remembered that Qin Dujiaogan had sent two messages in a row. Datang was obviously angered by the incident involving the King of East China Sea.
The fact that King Donghai is a descendant of the hidden prince Li Jiancheng of the Tang Dynasty has greatly touched the sensitive nerves of the Tang Emperor. This time, even if Silla is not destroyed, King Wenwu must step down. This is what the Tang Dynasty is doing in this matter. attitude towards things.
For this, they not only had to transfer Jin Inwen back to Silla, but also joined forces with Japan.
Silla is in danger, and they will face the biggest crisis in the century since their founding.
"Be careful, be careful!"
The four people from Qin Dujiao Gan clearly appeared in Cui Zhongshi's mind. He had to admit that in this matter, Qin Dujiao Gan's suggestion was very reasonable. It was extremely dangerous to start a war with the Tang Dynasty. If he was not careful, he would be killed. The dead country is destroyed.
Cui Zhongshi glanced at Jin Inwen. People in the Tang Dynasty said that Silla would not be destroyed and Jin Inwen would be left to govern the country.
But after the First World War, it is difficult to say how much territory Silla will have left.
You must know that in addition to its own territory, the current Silla, the former Baekje homeland is also under the rule of Silla.
Once the Tang Dynasty wins the war, Silla will only be a piece of fish on the chopping board.
If you want to avoid that day, you must either defeat Datang on the battlefield or avoid going to war.
Cui Zhongshi glanced at Jin Renwen in front of him. Jin Renwen had closed his eyes and was resting.
Cui Zhongshi sighed in his heart. If it had been anyone else, he might have killed him long ago, but Jin Renwen said Cui Zhongshi had been with him for many years and knew his character best. He actually didn't want to go back to Silla. .
If you can't kill Jin Renwen, then you can only kill the King of Nanchang.
The Yangzhou Navy is now unable to do anything, but the Hangzhou Navy and the Japanese still have some people who can do anything. .
The carriage started slowly. At this time, Jin Renwen suddenly said: "When I came out of the Governor's Mansion, I saw Qin Du. The King of Nanchang has relaxed his control on him."
Cui Zhongshi's eyes instantly shook.
On the long Yangzhou Street, the shops of merchants from the Western Regions were inspected.
Soon, everyone in a shop was escorted out by officers and soldiers, and then, under the pointing of the people around them, they were escorted to prison.
"The Tubo hidden line." At the end of the long street, a slight sneer appeared on Li Xuan's lips.
At this moment, a burst of footsteps sounded behind him.
Li Xuan turned around and saw Zhou Qian standing behind him. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the Silla people have moved."
