Li Yong hesitated and did not answer. Shenhui said: "Amitabha, Mr. Ruxiang, don't hesitate any longer. The suspected soldier back then is now being targeted as the real master..."
Li Yong was taken aback and said, "Master, how do you know about the suspected soldiers?"
Shen Hui said: "Of course, if the real owner was on the ship that sent the Tang envoy, wouldn't the person Gao Bujie found now be the suspected soldier?"
Seeing that Li Yong was still bowing his head and hesitating, Shenhui said: "Mr. Xiang needs to know that when the fake is real, the real is also fake. If someone points to this suspected soldier and says that he is real, once he gains momentum, the fake will become real." It’s come true.”
Li Yong raised his head fiercely and said as if waking up from a dream: "Yes, keeping the promise back then was to preserve the Tang Dynasty, and telling the truth today is also for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty!"
Everyone perked up when they heard this. Jing Zhencheng also put down his sword and listened carefully. Everyone knew a little bit about this matter. Among them, Jing Kuanren, as an eyewitness at that time, could say that he knew the most, but it was still incomplete. Everything was known. Only Li Yong knew the secret best. He turned to the crowd and said, "You must have guessed the bloodline of Prince Yin brought back from the Western Region by Ni Nian, the king of Persia."
Although everyone had already guessed it, they were still shocked when they heard it said by Li Yong himself. Hun Wei said clearly, "Hey, dear, this is the most amazing item in the world, but it's also very hot to touch."
Hun Weiming compared everything to doing business. Although everyone found it vulgar, they also felt that his description was quite appropriate.
Li Yong continued: "The person who discovered the bloodline was not the Clay Master, but a confidant of Wang Fangyi who stayed in Suiye City. He called himself Li Ke of Qinzhou. I don't know if his surname was Li, or he lied about it to cover up. My surname is Li, which is a bit confusing. After all, Li Ke sounds a bit like a pseudonym. The clay kneader and Li Ke walked together for six thousand miles, but after entering Yumen Pass and crossing the river, they arrived in Qinzhou , which is now Tianshui County, the two separated."
Dugu Xiang said: "That's not surprising. Didn't Li Ke claim to be from Qinzhou? After finally returning to his hometown, he has settled down. There is no need to go to Chang'an with the Nudge Master."
Li Yong ignored Xiang'er's entanglement and continued: "This is actually a trick used by the two of them. Li Ke did not stop in Tianshui, but went south to Shu Road and went to Jiannan Road..."
Duguxiang said: "Ah... I heard that the road to Shu is difficult. He has no choice but to choose. Why did he choose the most difficult road?"
Hun Weiming said: "The Shu Road refers to the road that crosses the Qinling Mountains and Bashan Mountain, connecting Chang'an in Xijing and Chengdu in central Shu. Its center is in Hanzhong. In addition to Ziwu Road, Tangluo Road, Baoxie Road and Chencang Road from Guanzhong to Hanzhong, there are also There is a Qishan Road from Tianshui to Hanzhong."
Dugu Xiang asked, "Is it the Qishan Road that Prime Minister Zhuge took out of Qishan?"
Hun Weiming nodded and said: "Qishan Road connects Tianshui to the north and Jinniu Road to Chengdu to the south. The Silk Road that connects Sichuan and Shu and the Western Regions is the smoothest and easiest road among all Shu roads, so Zhuge Wuhou will send troops from this road. If Li Ke is determined to enter Shu, it would be better to enter Shu through Tianshui than to enter Guanzhong and then take the other four paths."
Dugu Xiang asked: "So Li Ke brought Li Jiancheng's bloodline to Shuzhong?"
Hun Weiming said: "There are many mountains in the middle of Shu, and the road to Shu is difficult to travel. If we really want to hide people, there is no place in the world like the land south of Jiannan in the middle of Shu!"
Jiang Shuo's mouth went dry after hearing this. He was very familiar with Li Ke's name in Qinzhou. Not only did he know that Li Ke moved to Mianzhou from Suiye City in the Western Regions, he also knew that Li Ke settled in Qingzhou, Changlong County, Mianzhou. Lianxiang - Qinzhou Li Ke is the father of Qinglian layman Li Taibai!
Jiang Shuo spoke with difficulty: "Could it be..."
Li Yong shook his head and said: "Although the empress had passed away at that time, the royal family was still unstable. Zhongzong Li Xian, Prime Minister Li Dan, Princess Taiping, Queen Wei, and even the three princes who were the current saints, all had their own power. They also have their own spies. Therefore, when Li Ke entered Shu, he actually used a trick to make people mistakenly think that he brought Prince Yin's Miao descendants into Shu. In fact, the children he brought to Shu were all his own children. The real Miao descendants have always been Follow the Clay Master."
After hearing this, Jiang Shuo felt reassured and a little lonely, and said, "It turns out that Mr. Taibai is not a descendant of the royal family."
Nan Jiyun asked curiously: "Mr. Taibai? Is he Li Taibai who served in the Imperial Academy? What does he have to do with this matter?"
Jiang Shuo then explained to everyone that Li Bai's father was Li Ke. Although they were all heroes, Li Bai's reputation was so great that few people in the Tang Dynasty did not know his name. As for his place of birth, the world could tell Knowing very little, Pu Guhuaien sighed: "I didn't expect that Mr. Taibai was born in Suiye City in the Western Region, and his grandfather was Li Ke who found the bloodline of Prince Yin. What a coincidence."
Li Yong said: "This double blindfold is just to hide the fact that the real Miao people returned to Chang'an with the clay master."
Jiang Shuo said: "Ah... the clay master actually brought Prince Yin's descendant to Chang'an, so why didn't he offer it to the Emperor of Tang?"
Li Yong said: "The Nudge Master has never been a rear party. Firstly, when Persia came east, he was protected by Li Tang. Secondly, Empress Wu always felt that the Tang Dynasty was overexpanding in the Western Regions and wanted to abolish the four towns in Anxi and stick to the Yumen Pass. Territory is enough. If this is the case, it is equivalent to giving up the Persian Protectorate outside Congling. Therefore, the Ni Nian Master has never returned to Chang'an. It is precisely because the Ni Nian Master is Pei Xingjian's best friend that Wang Fangyi will leave after When he was in the Western Region, he told his subordinate Li Ke that if he found the flesh and blood of Prince Yin, the first person he could rely on would be the King of Persia Clay Master."
Jiang Shuo said: "So from the very beginning, Master Nian wanted to dedicate the built Miao people to the Emperor of Tang and eradicate the roots? Then I don't understand. If that's the case, he directly found Li Kehe in the Western Regions. Can't we just kill the little prince together? Why send him thousands of miles to Chang'an?"
Li Yong said: "Looking back, this is the way of officialdom. You don't understand. Emperors are very jealous. You kill such an important person just when you say you want to? What if you don't kill him and hold it in your hands as a means of blackmail? What will happen to the pair?" For the emperor, isn't it like having a sword hanging above his head that is about to be chopped off at any moment? Therefore, this person must be presented in front of Emperor Tang, and wait for Emperor Tang to inquire clearly, but if he is killed in front of the emperor, it can be said that he will never regret it."
Jiang Shuo crossed his hands and said, "I see, I've learned a lesson."
Duguxiang asked: "Did he kill him or not?"
Li Yong shook his head and said: "No... After arriving in Chang'an, the clay master learned that the Emperor of Tang was in Luoyang. When he rushed to Luoyang, the eastern capital, he had no intention of going to see the emperor overnight, but something happened that night , so that he had to go to the palace to pay homage to Yinye."
Dugu Xiang asked curiously: "What happened?"
Hun Wei said clearly: "Then you still need to ask? I must have lost the person."
Li Yong twisted his beard and said, "Hun'er is right. Master Ni is the king of the vassal. He has not been in the imperial court for more than twenty years. Naturally, he has no residence in the two capitals. He can only live in the Sifang Pavilion in the Eastern Capital."
Dugu Xiang thought: "Sifang Pavilion... Sifang Pavilion... ah... the Japanese mission is also in Sifang Pavilion."
Jing Kuanren nodded and said, "That's right. On the day the Clay Kneader moved in, the Japanese envoy to the Tang Dynasty was still at the Sifang Pavilion."
Dugu Xiang looked at Li Yong and said, "Could it be that the Miao people who built the city were really taken away by the Japanese?"
Li Yong looked at Jing Kuanren and said, "Let's ask Jing Lang to talk about this. The Japanese are much more familiar with this matter than I am."
Jing Kuanren said: "Yes! This rare item is exactly what we took away."
Dugu Xiang asked curiously: "What's the use of arresting a child?"
Jing Kuanren said: "In the third year of Longshuo, in order to help revive Baekje, Japan devoted all its efforts to cross the sea to attack Silla. However, at the mouth of Baijiang River, it encountered the Tang Dynasty navy led by Liu Rengui of the Tang Dynasty. The Japanese navy had more than a thousand warships. , the number far exceeded that of the Tang Army. However, although the Tang Army had very few warships, its warships were extremely tall and sturdy, and they also had several unseen weapons. The two sides fought together, and the Tang Army won all four battles. For a time, the sea was filled with smoke and flames. , the sea water is all red. After this disastrous defeat, the emperor of our country decided to fully learn from the Tang Dynasty."
Shuo and Xiang knew that the big ship mentioned here was the giant sea loach ship seen in Penglai Water City Military Port. Dugu Xiang said: "That's good. Why didn't you learn from it later and went to hijack Jiancheng Miao people?"
Jing Kanren said: "Despite this, there are still some people in the country who think that Japan is the descendant of Amaterasu, so it is invincible in the world, and the defeat at Baijiangkou was just an accident. It happened that the envoy sent to the Tang Dynasty at that time was such a deeply hidden anti-Tang faction. I It was also that day that I accidentally overheard the conversation between the clay master who stayed at the Sifang Pavilion, and then I found out that the person he brought with him was actually the descendant of Prince Yin. The master wanted to use him as an excuse to send troops.
, can disrupt the Tang Dynasty, so he ordered me to capture him. "
Hun Weiming smiled and said, "Why did you capture him? Are you afraid that Emperor Tang would not bear to kill each other, so do you want to do it for him?"
Jing Kuanren didn't know that what Hun Weiming said was ironic, so he shook his head and said, "No, the ambassador wanted to take him back to China and lead the Japanese army to attack the Tang Dynasty in the name of King Qin."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Nan Jiyun smiled and said, "Isn't your ambassador a good person? Why do they have so similar ideas?"
Jing Kuanren said: "Of course I am not a high-ranking ambassador, but now that I think about it, the ambassador's idea was indeed extreme and stupid. But back then, I managed to capture that person without even thinking about it."
Everyone looked at Jing Kuanren's thin appearance and secretly shook their heads, thinking that Master Ni was too careless. How could such a big living person be kidnapped by such a small Japanese. Only Jiang Shuo and Dugu Xiang knew that the Japanese were very powerful in their skills and specialized in secretive things. With Jing Kuanren's ability, it was not difficult to abduct someone without anyone noticing.
Jing Kuanren continued: "After we caught the person, we left the Sifang Pavilion overnight, but the clay kneader king didn't notice at all."
Li Yong said: "After the clay kneader was found out in the middle of the night, he searched everywhere for Wu Zang. He could only go to the palace that night and honestly report to the then emperor Zhongzong. Zhongzong actually just comforted him and let the clay kneader. Go back and rest, don't take it seriously! Jin Silan just sent out the message, hoping that I can help get rid of this scourge."
Jing Zhencheng said: "So, the bones and blood of Li Jiancheng were indeed hidden in the Japanese envoy ships sent to the Tang Dynasty off Haizhou?"
Jing Kuanren nodded silently after hearing this.
