If things are really as he guessed, then the emperor is really terrible.
With a long sigh of relief, Li Xian simply put the matter behind him and didn't think about it at all.
Whether these people were indeed from the fourth party, or were deliberately arranged by the emperor, or simply deliberately tricked, it had nothing to do with him. He was about to arrive at the hunting ground and prayed that he would not be too embarrassed. That was the most important thing.
The army left the camp and set off looking for hunting grounds.
How could Hao Chujun and others, who had grown old and mature, not be able to see what the emperor was doing.
They even guessed several possible targets for the saint to do this.
However, no matter what the truth is, they have chosen to remain silent.
This is obviously the most sensitive period. As a courtier, no matter what happens to the royal family, it is best to stay out of it.
Who can be sure that what happened this time was not a beating from the saint to the prince?
If you don't pretend to be stupid at this time, you are really stupid.
Judging from the fact that the saint did not drive back to the palace, but continued hunting in autumn, the matter was not serious.
not to mention....
Now that the Tang Dynasty has been at peace for so many years, even if some people have ulterior motives, they cannot have the power to subvert the world, including the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes. It might be possible for them to work together, but if they fight independently, it is impossible to pose a subversive threat to the imperial power.
And it is simply impossible for them to gather together to rebel.
Putting aside the five surnames and seven hopes, who can pose a threat to the saint?
Around Chang'an, a full 50,000 soldiers gathered here to protect the saint's safety. Together with the Forbidden Army and the Qianniu Guard, the danger was completely eliminated to almost non-existence.
Although he left Chang'an City and the palace, there was no need to worry about the saint's safety.
As for the assassin....
What a joke, even if an assassin can sneak out by virtue of his identity as a palace insider, it is absolutely impossible to pose a threat to the saint!
Therefore, the saint's move must have a deeper meaning. As for what the purpose is...
Like Li Xian, the courtiers chose to ignore this matter and not think about it, for fear of guessing it themselves.
This autumn hunting, just take part in it seriously, and don't make any unnecessary trouble.
Compared with Li Xian and civil servants, military generals have to react faster.
As usual, they avoided talking about the issue of imperial power. Even if an assassin appeared, they would just show their loyalty at the time and avoid it immediately after the incident. They are related to military power. Although they no longer have the ability to truly rebel, they are still taboo everywhere.
Now, Cheng Wuting and several others were walking side by side, each holding a bow and bragging about how excellent his bow was.
The troops on both sides of the road had automatically made way for a gap, because no one was sure whether the generals would get interested and shoot an arrow into the grass.
The team continued to move forward, and soon deviated from the main road and turned into a mountain road similar to the main road.
Although there are high mountains and dense forests on both sides of the road, there is no need to worry about whether there will be an ambush. Long before the official departure, the Ministry of War almost searched the entire route.
Not to mention ambushing people, if there are animal traps in the grass that are not cleared away, it is the Ministry of War's dereliction of duty.
The royal hunting ground is naturally not comparable to ordinary hunting grounds. Although the road leading to the hunting ground leads from the mountain pass and is winding, it is extremely smooth. Even a novice horseman like Li Xian does not feel it is very bumpy.
After turning a small mountain pass, a wide camp suddenly appeared in front of us.
This is the place where the emperor and the civil and military officials were stationed during the autumn hunting. Judging from the grass roots on the ground of the camp that had not been cleaned thoroughly in time, it seems that the Ministry of Rites took the time to clean up this place. Before, this place must have been abandoned.
Just like the resting place, the camp here has been laid out, and fortifications have even been built with logs around it, making it look like a cottage.
Of course, there is no way this cottage can accommodate 50,000 people. It can only barely accommodate members of the royal family, civil and military ministers, and the Qianniu Guards.
Under the leadership of Du Chunyi, the army began to disperse in an orderly manner around the camp. They don't have the treatment of a camp, they only have tents, but the recent weather isn't too cold, so they can spend the night in a tent even if they don't light a fire.
As the emperor's bodyguard, the Qianniu Guards naturally had privileged support, so for activities like the Autumn Hunt, Du Chunyi would naturally have control over the army. Even if his qualifications are not ranked high in front of Cheng Wuting and others, if the leadership of these armies is handed over to him, no one will have objections.
After settling down completely, it was already afternoon.
Li Xian and Li Xian hurriedly entered their tents and began to apply medicine between their legs.
With the support of medicine, they could barely withstand the torture of riding horses. Otherwise, they might have become lame by now.
"Your Highness, Du Chunyi would like to see you."
As soon as I applied the medicine, Li Xing's voice came from the door of the tent.
Du Chunyi?
Li Xian was stunned for a moment, quickly put on his pants, and then said: "Come in."
The door curtain was opened, and Du Chunyi, who was fully armed, walked in. He knelt on one knee at the door of the tent and said: "Your Highness, there are a total of 50,000 soldiers around Chang'an, 30,000 of which have been assigned to the surrounding camps, and the remaining 1 Eighteen thousand people were placed at various key intersections by the general, while the remaining two thousand people were scattered around the hunting ground as scouts."
After hearing Du Chunyi's report, Li Xian wondered: "General Du, you should report to your father. Why did you come to find Gu?"
Du Chunyi said: "Your Majesty has ordered that no matter what happens in Qiu Lie, we must obey His Highness's arrangements, including the army led by the last general."
The army is also under my command?
Li Xian couldn't help being stunned for a moment, but thinking of Li Zhi's attitude, he was relieved immediately.
This is a typical slap to a sweet date. First, give the prince a slap to warn the prince not to have wild thoughts about his throne, and then appoint military power to express trust.
Although there is such a contradiction between before and after, but...
Isn't the emperor just a collection of contradictions? How many emperors combined cruelty and benevolence at the same time?
Take the Tang Dynasty as an example. Emperor Taizong killed his elder brother and younger brother, but he became a figure like an emperor through the ages. Wu Zetian wielded a butcher's knife against the people surnamed Li and imposed a reign of terror on officials, but she was not very kind to the people.
Now Li Zhi doubts and expresses trust at the same time, which is really out of line.
Glancing at Du Chunyi, who had his head lowered, Li Xian cleared his throat and said: "How to arrange troops, you are more experienced than Gu, so I won't say more. But before the autumn hunting officially starts tomorrow, the scouts must be brought back. If It won’t be good if you get hurt by Liu Ya.”
