Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

Businessmen can also go, but if they don't have a net worth of more than a million, they can't get in.

The old brothers have no free time for a long time, drinking tea and listening to books in Liuyexuan.

The familiar room on the fifth floor was always reserved for them.

The current treasurer of Liu Yexuan was single-handedly pulled up by Chai Lingwu.

The young man was in his 20s and looked energetic. After performing the tea ceremony for the old guys, he retired respectfully.

Knowing that they had something important to discuss, they closed the door as well, lest the voice of storytelling downstairs disturb the elders.

The group of six sat in a circle around the low table, staring at the small red clay stove in the middle of the table, dazed.

Fang Xuanling said helplessly: "This old man really can't figure out, what kind of enemies are there in the Tang Dynasty, it is worth Liu Bai's painstaking effort?"

A few people looked at me, I looked at you, and shook their heads at each other.

They really couldn't figure out who else in the Tang Dynasty could receive such attention from His Majesty and Liu Bai.

Dai Zhou suddenly said: "Could it be?"

Halfway through, he suddenly shut up.

Immediately attracted a look full of anger.

Gao Shilian, who was the most irritable, said: "If you have something to say, say it quickly!"

Chapter 948 Is there anything else that even he dare not say?

Dai Zhou muttered a few times, but did not make a sound.

Gao Shilian was about to have a fit, when Yu Shinan at the side gently pulled him back.

"What do you mean?"

Gao Shilian turned to stare at Yu Shinan.

Yu Shinan put his hands on the table, rubbed each other a few times, and said, "Xuan Yin, it's already this time, it seems like nothing's wrong if you say it?"

There is actually a secret between these two?

Fang Xuanling and the others couldn't help looking over curiously.

Dai Zhou remained silent.

Gao Shilian couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily, "What kind of mystery are you two playing? With our friendship, do you still need to hide it?"

Du Ruhui, who had been silent all this time, also opened his mouth at this moment: "That's right, at this time, even if the sky falls, we will come out."

Dai Zhou didn't dare to say, it was quite normal.

Although he was an important minister in the court and a dignified minister of Dali Temple, he did not enter the three provinces and became a prime minister.

Some words, he must be able to bear it.

Whether the relationship is good or not is on the one hand, some things inevitably have some difficulties.

But Yu Shinan didn't dare to say it, that would be too strange!

Ever since the imperial court began to prepare for the imperial examination, Yu Shinan's status has been getting higher and higher, especially after the Chinese New Year, his limelight even has a faint tendency to overwhelm Gao Shilian and others.

As the second in command of the academy, his status in the minds of the students of the academy is unparalleled.

After all, Wang Ji did not have a serious official position in the court.

Although Gao Shilian is also in the academy, he is only in charge of administrative work and does not participate in teaching.

In the eyes of the students, his status was slightly inferior to Yu Shinan's.

Everyone knows that the students of the academy will definitely occupy most of the official titles in the court in the future.

The 'natural' friendship between teachers and students cannot be erased no matter what.

What else is there that even he dare not say?

Fang Xuanling coughed a few times, stood up, opened the door, took a look outside, and then closed it gently.

Go to the other end and close the window tightly.

"Brother Boshi, can't you trust us?"

Yu Shinan gritted his teeth and sighed again.

"Xuanyin, sooner or later you can't hide this kind of thing, so you should say it."

Dai Zhou's face changed again and again, and finally said: "Okay."

He cupped his hands at several people, and said: "Dai will only say these words here once, and after leaving this door, I will have nothing to do with Dai."

Everyone frowned.

The more Dai Zhou said this, the more it reflected the seriousness of the situation.

The first sentence he said made everyone turn pale with shock.

"Jing King Li Yuanjing is dead."

Fang Xuanling stood up abruptly.

"When did this happen?!"

Li Yuanjing is no longer welcome by others, but he is also a prince!

Moreover, among the sons of the Supreme Emperor, he was second only to Li Er in age.

If the prince dies, even if he does not need to be buried with a state ceremony, at least all the civil and military officials must be sent off together.

Why, no news at all?

Dai Zhou looked up to the sky and sighed.

"More than two months have passed, and it was the first day that Chai Lingwu married Princess Baling"

Several people you look at me, I look at you.

Except for Yu Shinan, they all looked dumbfounded.

Fang Xuanling murmured, "Your Majesty originally said that you would go to the Western Regions after the queen's birthday, but after Princess Baling's wedding, you left early."

Gao Shilian's face was gloomy and terrifying.

"No wonder His Majesty knew that the crown prince was safe in the Western Regions, but he still insisted on going out in person. No wonder he was so angry when he went out."

Shocked to hear such a shocking case, and deduced from this, several people have noticed the abnormalities in the recent period.

It's not just Li Er who is abnormal.

The Supreme Emperor is even more abnormal!

In the past, he would always gather a group of people to drink at Liu's house.

But recently, there has been no news.

Sometimes, people who don't know are still making fun of it, saying when the Supreme Emperor became a responsible person

It turned out that it was because Li Yuanjing died!

Du Ruhui has always been a kind person, but in this moment, his murderous intent is revealed!

"Alien?"

Dai Zhou shook his head and said: "Actually, until now, we haven't figured out who did it. His Majesty once personally summoned me into the palace to secretly investigate the cause of King Jing's death. The people from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment did not I didn’t get any results, so I went to the academy to find some masters in solving cases.”

As he spoke, he looked at Yu Shinan.

Yu Shinan's expression was a little complicated.

"You all know that there are several gentlemen in the Military Academy who used to be experts in the investigation of the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple, but even they couldn't find any clues."

Dai Zhou followed Yu Shinan's words and said: "So far, apart from the royal family, only the two of us, Di Zhixun, the servant of the Ministry of punishment, and those gentlemen in the academy know about this matter. His Majesty has ordered that before the murderer is found, , this matter must not be rumored!"

Fang Xuanling thought for a long time, and said, "Then why did His Majesty leave in such a hurry? Wouldn't it be possible to find the murderer faster by staying in Chang'an?"

They all knew that it was extremely unnecessary for Li Er to go to the Western Regions.

Others did not know about Li Chengqian.

However, when Liu Bai arrived in the Western Regions, the first time he found out about Li Chengqian's trace, he sent someone to expedite the news to Yumen Pass by [-] miles.

Then use the method of beacon fire to send the news that Li Chengqian is completely safe to Chang'an!

Therefore, Li Er knew that Li Chengqian was very good.

Under the circumstances that it is still uncertain whether the murderer is of a foreign race, why did Li Er insist on his own conquest?

Yu Shinan looked at the teacup on the table, and said quietly: "There is one more thing that you don't know, that on the same day that King Jing was killed, King Hejian and King Jiangxia were assassinated together. The royal family strikes!"

hiss--

Hearing this, everyone gasped.

The situation became a little clearer.

This time, it was Li Jing and Li Ji who helped Li Er contain the troops of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions when he sent troops to the Western Regions.

The talents of the two of them can indeed be among the best among generals.

But now Li Er no longer trusts Li Jing.

Li Xiaogong, Prince of Hejian County, and Li Daozong, King of Jiangxia, who once conquered the Turks together with Li Jing and others, are the best candidates to contain the main force of the Western Regions.

Their military talents are not inferior to Li Jing and Li Ji.

Turns out, they were assassinated

Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice: "That's why Your Majesty and Liu Bai used various reasons to send the important royal family to the Western Regions. It seems dangerous, but in fact, they are protecting them?"

This time, Dai Zhou finally nodded.

"Only in the army can absolute safety be guaranteed. Therefore, this time, the king of Yue and the king of Shu were not only accompanied by people from the Liu family's caravan, but also a large number of personal guards from the palace. Lost the rule of the good light"

Chapter 949 My life is all in your hands

West of Chang'an City, Chencang!

This ancient city has a history no less than that of Chang'an City.

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, this place was an important military town of the ancient Guo State. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang, under the advice of his counselor Zhang Liang, burned down the plank road from the Central Plains to the middle of Shu, and came up with a "Ming repair plank road, darken Chencang".

During the reign of Wude, Chen Cang became destitute due to several disasters.

But in the Year of Zhenguan, this place has become one of the most prosperous places around Chang'an City!

The Liu family invested a lot of money here, employed tens of thousands of people, and the city even surpassed Wannian County in three years in Chang'an!

Because there are extremely rich mineral resources here.

The output of gold, coal, and iron is large, and it is one of the pillar industries of the Liu family.

It took Li Tai and Li Ke four days to walk from Chang'an City to Chencang.

It's not too slow to walk.

Because they carry too much material, there is no way to speed up.

At night, everyone entered the city and went directly to the Chencang branch of Liu's Commercial Bank to rest.

Li Tai's chief housekeeper, Zhi Shi Shanguang, and Li Ke's Governor of the Prince of Shu, Shi Gao Jifu, went to arrange accommodation for casual people.

The two brothers sat down in the yard, and Li Ke personally fried a few side dishes, took out the flagon he carried with him, and started a 'fight'.

'belch--'

Li Tai hadn't eaten Li Ke's fried dishes for a long time, and he ate a round belly.

Li Ke took a sip of his wine and said, "I'm doing pretty well, right?"

Li Tai picked up his wine glass, touched Li Ke, and said, "It doesn't matter whether we act like it or not, the main thing is to see if the enemy believes it or not."

"I'm a little worried that Changle and their other brothers are still young, and they are all in the palace. There is no possibility of accidents. Only Changle, Li You and Li Yin are running around outside all day, in case the enemy finds a loophole."

Li Ke sighed and finished another cup.

"Don't worry, even if the people arranged by the father and the queen mother can't protect them, and I arrange it, there will be no accidents. Besides, Changle and the others live in the Liu family, and there is Daoist Sanfeng here. Even if a bunch of enemies come, I guarantee that they will be safe No return."
