Fu Tang

Shi Xuehe was slightly taken aback, then lowered his head respectfully and asked, "What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

Li Congjia got up and circled around "Shi Xuehe", then took two steps back and said: "Don't pretend, tell me, what happened to Master Xuehe?"

"Shi Xuehe" stood up straight and asked with a smile, "How did Your Majesty find out?"

Li Congjia looked at him seriously for a long while and said, "Korean people? Ya Yan said it well."

There was a hint of surprise in the eyes of "Shi Xuehe", but there was still a smile on his face, which made the whole face look particularly distorted.

He asked, "How did Your Majesty see it?"

Li Congjia sneered and said: "No matter how disguised you are, the deep-rooted habits left in the process of growing up are hard to change, but this only shows that you are not professional."

"Shi Xuehe" was a little puzzled, he didn't understand how Li Congjia saw it.

Of course, Li Congjia would not tell him, just from the body movements of the other party, Koreans are different from Central Plains people, they always have a habit of hunched over their chests, and that posture, in Li Congjia's words, feels like they can kneel down at any time when walking Similarly, the Japanese also have this problem, but even if the Japanese bend over, their legs are straight.

Who is Shi Xuehe?Shi Xueting's most trusted senior brother, the intelligence department is still a department of the imperial court no matter how marginal, his position in the intelligence department is only under Shi Xueting, and he has cultivated the temperament of a superior person long ago. When facing Li Congjia, he is humble, not humble.

What's more, although Shi Xuehe still looks like a monk, it is said that his hair can't grow back at all, so he continues to be a monk, otherwise he has broken all the Buddhist precepts, how could he still talk about Amitabha?Are you mocking yourself?

"Shi Xuehe" looked at Li Congjia's calm expression and couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty is not afraid?"

"This is my home, why should I be afraid? You who went deep into the dragon's lair... should be afraid?"

"Shi Xuehe" laughed and said: "Interesting, interesting, don't you call someone? Oh, the guards outside your door can't come anymore. The other guards should be far away. You should call them now. can hear."

Li Congjia sat back on the throne and said: "You and I are so close, it makes no difference whether you shout or not. If you want to kill, you will die or I will die. What's more, I still want to know the whereabouts of Shi Xuehe. However, you Know who I am, but I don't know who you are, tell me."

"Shi Xuehe" said: "My name is Han Xuancheng, and I'm just a small person. You may not know it after I say it. Compared with this, you shouldn't know how I got in, and what is the purpose?"

Han Xuancheng felt a little nervous at this moment. He traveled all over the years, kidnapped and assassinated others, but he had never met someone who could talk and laugh like this in the face of danger. What was even more cheating was all the things he had thought up before. Threats seemed to be useless, and he had to remind the other party what questions to ask, the entire rhythm of the kidnapping was disrupted!

Or that only such a person can sit on the ninety-five supreme position?

Li Congjia didn't know the confusion in Han Xuancheng's heart. He just wanted to delay the time. He just smiled and said to Han Xuancheng's reminder: "I'm not interested in your purpose. Since you killed me when we didn't meet each other, it means you If you want anything from me, even if I don’t ask you, you will say it, of course I want to know the whereabouts of Shi Xuehe more than this.”

Han Xuancheng stared at Li Congjia for a while, then smiled and said: "You are such an interesting person, if the time and place were changed, maybe we could still be friends."

Li Congjia looked at him with contempt: "Who wants to be your friend? There are many people who want to be my friend, are you qualified?"

A cold light flashed in Han Xuancheng's eyes, and he snorted coldly and said, "So what about the emperor? Aren't you still in my hands?"

Li Congjia patted Yuan and said, "Wake up, I'm still in my study, why did I fall into your hands? What are you trying to say? There's so much nonsense!"

Han Xuancheng's nose was almost twisted by anger, and now he is talking too much nonsense, didn't you just talk about it?

Han Xuancheng gritted his teeth and said: "I advise Your Majesty to cooperate, otherwise your right-hand man may not be able to come back!"

Li Congjia looked at him very innocently: "Why do you ask me to cooperate? And, take off the mask on your face, it's all bulging, it's awkward to look at, your level is really bad."

Han Xuancheng recited silently several times: He is still useful, I cannot kill him.Only then did he resist the impulse, and he vowed that as long as he achieved his goal, he would kill the dog emperor immediately!

Han Xuancheng took off the mask on his face, and Li Congjia couldn't help frowning after seeing his face.

Han Xuancheng noticed his expression and couldn't help asking: "What? Your Majesty is scared?"

Li Congjia looked at him like he was insane: "What am I afraid of?"

Han Xuancheng asked: "Aren't you afraid to see me?"

Li Congjia's mouth twitched: "I don't know you, what are you afraid of? I just think you are ugly to me."

At that moment, Han Xuancheng couldn't help but drew out the soft sword hidden in his waist. Fortunately, he thought it was Li Congjia who recognized him, so he had a strange expression, but it turned out that he was ugly?

Li Congjia glanced at Han Xuancheng's soft sword, shook his head and said, "Your king is serious, can't he even give you a better weapon for doing such a dangerous thing? This sword is not sharp enough at first sight."

Han Xuancheng gritted his teeth and said, "Killing you is enough!"

Li Congjia looked at him with a half-smile and asked, "Really? If I die, your purpose will be defeated?"

Han Xuancheng looked at him suspiciously: "Do you know what I'm here for?"

Li Congjia sneered: "Your brain is really hard to use. The two of us have been talking for so long, and you haven't done anything from the beginning to the end. There must be something that needs me. Otherwise, the killer will talk so much nonsense." , how can I be a killer?"

Han Xuancheng took a deep breath. Before, he had heard the people of Tang Dynasty say how kind and gentle their emperor was, but now he didn't feel the kindness and gentleness. He only felt that this guy really deserved a beating!

Han Xuancheng smiled angrily, "I know you're delaying time, waiting for your guards to come over."

Li Congjia blinked: "Yo, you know all of this? Well, I now believe that you are a little smarter than a dog. Well, for the sake of being so smart, tell me, what do you want, if it is not too much, maybe Maybe I would agree."

Han Xuancheng said with a gloomy face, "Withdraw immediately!"

Li Congjia immediately said: "Are you mistaken? I didn't send troops to fight against Korea. Why did I withdraw my troops?"

"Remove the soldiers you sent to Shandong!"

Li Congjia knew his purpose was here, so he couldn't help sneering: "What does Shandong have to do with you Korea? The claws are too long, right?"

Han Xuancheng said forcefully: "Lu Yue'an has already surrendered to my emperor, and my emperor has named him King of Jiaodong, so Shandong should naturally belong to us."

Li Congjia almost laughed out loud!

I have never seen such a big brain hole before I have seen it!

Also seal the King of Jiaodong, if it is not your family's land, dare to seal it?What a bold face.

Strangely, Li Congjia was not very angry. He probably already had a thorough understanding of this nation. He just asked, "Your emperor? I remember that Zhou Shizong once made Wang Zhao the king, right? Why? You became emperor so soon. Did you ask Datang? Did you ask Khitan?"

Hearing this, Han Xuancheng stared at Li Congjia gloomyly, and flicked the soft sword in his hand, the rosewood pen holder on Li Congjia's desk was split into two, Han Xuancheng stared at Li Congjia and asked viciously: "Retreat or not?"

Li Congjia looked at Han Xuancheng for a long time before saying: "Why do you think that I will retreat when I say retreat? It seems that you don't know anything about Datang. The courtiers of Datang have always had integrity. Even if you kidnap me, use my life Threatening them, as long as they think it will harm Datang's interests, they will not compromise with you."

Han Xuancheng:? ? ? ? ?

Is the entire Tang court crazy?The emperor's life doesn't matter?

Seeing his disbelief, Li Congjia said, "Don't believe it? If you don't believe it, just try it and you'll know."

Han Xuancheng snorted coldly and said, "If that's the case, I'll take you away to see if they really don't care about you!"

Li Congjia suddenly stood up, swung his chair and threw it at Han Xuancheng, shouting, "I'm afraid you won't have this chance!"

Han Xuancheng's swordsmanship is indeed good, at least the soft sword in his hand danced pretty well, he dodged the chair, smashed the chair, looked at Li Congjia and sneered: "Your Majesty's skill is not very good. .”

Before Li Congjia could speak, Han Xuancheng heard a voice like Hong Zhong: "Bold thief, take your life!"

Accompanied by this sound, the door of the bookcase in Li Congjia's study room was instantly torn apart, and a monk like an iron tower strode out from inside, and as soon as the monk came out, he went straight to Han Xuancheng.

Li Congjia looked helplessly at Shi Qingsong and others who came out later, and wanted to ask: Can't you come out properly?The door of the cabinet can be pushed from the inside out. This cabinet is made of rosewood and is very expensive, right?

But when someone came to rescue him, he could only hold back his complaints, and said to Shi Qingsong, "Master Qingsong and all mages are here to help."

Shi Qingsong clasped his hands together and said to Li Congjia: "The poor monk came too late to save him, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Li Congjia smiled and said, "It's not too late, it's just in time."

Shi Qingsong glanced at Shi Yanlie who rushed over, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, this place is no longer a place to stay for a long time, please move your Majesty."

Li Congjia took a look at Shi Yanlie's open and closed style, and immediately took it seriously. It is estimated that when Shi Yanlie captured Han Xuancheng, it was also when the study was scrapped, and it was estimated that it would have to be redecorated.

Li Congjia said... a little distressed.

Li Congjia was surrounded by Shi Qingsong and others and returned to the Zichen Palace. At the same time, the commanders in front of the palace on duty today also came to plead guilty. The emperor was almost assassinated in the palace, and he was about to be scared to death!

Not only the commanders arrived in front of the palace, but also the ministers of the cabinet and Li Ping and Zhu Yuan rushed over. The appearance of assassins in the palace frightened them enough.

When they all arrived, Shi Yanlie had already held Han Xuancheng in his hand like a chicken, and he smiled at Li Congjia: "Your Majesty, this man is interesting, he is actually walking on stilts."

Li Congjia saw that Han Xuancheng himself was not tall, at least two heads shorter than Shi Xuehe, and if he wanted to dress up as Shi Xuehe, he had to walk on stilts, even high heels couldn't save him.

However, Li Congjia couldn't laugh. He looked down at the half-dead Han Xuancheng and asked, "Where is Shi Xuehe?"

Han Xuancheng closed his eyes and didn't speak, Li Congjia's eyes turned cold, he raised his head and said: "Send it to the Ministry of Punishment, find a way to make him speak!"

Nima, if Shi Xuehe doesn't pay attention, his life and death will be uncertain. How will Li Congjia explain Shi Xueting to him when he comes back?After all, Shi Xuehe is the closest person to Shi Xueting in the entire division.

Shi Qingsong saw that Li Congjia's face was not relaxed just now, and he was full of dignity, so he asked: "Why is Your Majesty so worried?"

Li Congjia sighed: "Master Xuehe's whereabouts are unknown, I am really worried."

Shi Qingsong recited the Buddha's name and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry so much, I think Xuehe will be able to get away if he has the chance."

Li Congjia didn't dare to say it. He remembered reading in some book that when some crazy people disguised themselves, they took the skin off the face of the person who was going to disguise themselves and made a human leather mask. This was the most realistic. Li Congjia was real. I'm really afraid that Shi Xuehe will be skinned, of course it's fine if he's still alive, just in case...

Thinking of this, Li Congjia felt that he couldn't bear it for a while, so he wanted to send troops to kill Gao Li immediately.

Now that the ministers had come, Li Congjia went directly to the Xuanzheng Hall and sat on the throne in the main hall. Before Li Congjia could speak, he knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Li Congjia suddenly had a headache: "What are you doing? Whether the assassin comes or not has anything to do with you? Get up and get up. If you have this time, why not discuss who will lead the navy."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, of course, only the civil servants headed by the cabinet breathed a sigh of relief, after all, they really didn't have much responsibility.

It's just that Li Congjia's last sentence made them all look at each other in dismay, but no one said anything against it. Goryeo sent assassins to the door. If they continue to endure, then next time they can send assassins to kill any cat or dog!

However, it is temporarily impossible to fight Goryeo from land, unless they can take Tanzhou down, so they can only go by sea.

Li Congjia thinks the karma in the world is really interesting. He trained the navy before to fight against the Southern Zhou. As a result, the Southern Zhou collapsed on his own. He hardly had the strength to use the navy. Most of the navy thought that there would be no way out in the future. At that time, even Li Hongji and Li Jingda came to ask whether they should abolish this army.

After all, Datang now implements a professional military system. As long as you start to serve in the military, you can't go home to farm unless you have reached the limit. Very expensive.

Of course, this is also Li Congjia's "conspiracy". He has money, so he willfully gives more money to the soldiers, so that after everyone gets used to it, even those who want to rebel must first weigh whether they can afford it. These soldiers, want to lower the living standards of soldiers?It's ok, but it's hard to say how many people will follow.

At that time, Li Congjia insisted on not abolishing the navy, because his eyes were not only limited to the Asian continent, but he also wanted to look forward to Africa and America. After all, things that did not exist in these days, such as corn, peppers, and tomatoes, were all on that road. Definitely going to check it out if you get a chance.

Doesn't this come in handy now?Seeing that Li Congjia was determined to fight, the cabinet turned around and started to prepare food. However, after counting, they were really worried. In order to prevent the people in Guanzhong from being ruined by the locust plague, Li Congjia had no use for other than a fixed amount of military food. Almost all of them are used for disaster relief, and now the military rations... are actually not enough.

Seeing Wei Renpu's worried look, Li Congjia couldn't help asking, "Did you count Shandong?"

Recently, because of Fan Zhi's illness, Wei Renpu became the mainstay of the cabinet. Hearing Li Congjia's inquiry at this time, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your Majesty, there is no way to forget it."

Li Congjia paused for a moment before remembering that Shandong had already been harmed enough by Goryeo, and he immediately became angry, turned to look at Shi Yanlie beside him and asked, "Did that person speak?"

Shi Yanlie shook his head, his face was a little gloomy, and now he also felt that Shi Xuehe might be in danger.

Li Congjia sighed, clenched his fists tightly and hammered the imperial case and said: "Then wait, no matter what, take Shandong first!"

Wei Renpu and Li Ping looked at each other and felt very guilty. They both knew in their hearts that Li Congjia had compromised. At least until next year's harvest, Li Congjia would not do anything to Goryeo. This is the rhythm for the emperor to endure for a year. Wronged him!

But there is no way, no matter how smooth sailing Li Congjia is in this life, he will always have to face these helplessness. Of course, he actually understands the fact that Gao Li sent someone to assassinate him. If there is such a person under him... Huh?Goryeo has such talents, but doesn't Tang Dynasty have them?

Li Congjia turned to Shi Yanlie and said: "No matter what, we have to pry his mouth open and let him tell the whereabouts of Master Xuehe, it would be even better if we could learn from his mouth how his disguise technique works. "

Shi Yanlie nodded. He was the one who followed up on this matter recently. Naturally, the Ministry of Criminal Justice had no guts to delay it, but Han Xuancheng had no guts, and he refused to say whether he was dead or alive. The Ministry of Criminal Justice did not dare to kill him. It seems that he also knows that Datang will not really kill him, so he is quite confident.

Li Congjia felt that the Ministry of Punishment was really not very good. Could it be that there was no punishment that would make life worse than death?If these people don't know, Li Congjia really wants to tell them, thinking about the tiger stools, pepper water and so on in later generations, unless this person has the belief of an underground party, Li Congjia doesn't believe that he can survive it!

It's just that as an emperor, Li Congjia's image must be positive, even if everyone knows that he may not be so bright, he can't show it, so he can only regretfully keep what he knows in his heart, and turn his head to write a letter to Shi Xueting depressed .

He didn't dare to tell Shi Xueting about the life-threatening fight with the Shandong gentry before. Naturally, it can be delayed as long as it can, and it is not a problem if he does not have an accident, but he must tell Shi Xueting immediately when he is assassinated. Let me tell you about it, lest he hear rumors from hearsay, especially... Shi Xuehe hasn't been found yet.

After Li Congjia finished writing the letter, he reflexively wanted to call Shi Xuehe, but it was Shi Yanlie who appeared in front of him. He couldn't help but feel a little melancholy. He knew why Shi Xueting had so many brothers, but he only valued Shi Xuehe. up.

In terms of ability, the remaining monks are really inferior to Shi Xuehe, Shi Qingsong is too cunning, Li Congjia may completely trust him, Shi Yanlie... not to mention that he believes in Shi Qingsong more, and is more willing to listen to Shi Qingsong, He is single-minded, and he is not interested in anything other than martial arts. Let him manage the intelligence department?I'm afraid the intelligence agencies don't even know what they do!

Li Congjia is worried. After Shi Xuehe, there are no one below, but they have never been alone. It is difficult for Li Congjia to believe them.

Fortunately, the courier who delivered the letter could still find one, but Li Congjia became very uncomfortable because of the lack of various news from the Ministry of Intelligence recently.

At this time, Shi Qingsong suddenly found Shi Yanlie and asked him to inform Li Congjia, "Shi Xuehe has been found."

Li Congjia asked with surprise on his face, "He's still alive? What happened? Where did you find it?"

Shi Yanlie sighed and said: "It's dark under the lights, I found it in his own room, and the condition is not very good now, if it's two days later, I'm afraid I will starve to death."

Li Congjia asked, "Apart from this, are there any other injuries?"

Shi Yanlie shook his head: "There are some minor injuries on his body, but it's okay."

Li Congjia breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I can change the letter to Shi Xueting. Fortunately, I have found it, otherwise I don't know how to explain it to the national teacher."

Shi Yanlie snorted coldly and said: "Little bastard is not good at learning arts, and he almost brought His Majesty into trouble by his own practice. If it wasn't for his weak health, he should really be punished to face the wall and think about his mistakes!"

Li Congjia was very relaxed at this moment and said: "It would be great if I could get him back, but... that person's martial arts looks really good, and he was able to sneak into the National Teacher's Mansion. Well, the National Teacher's Mansion should also strengthen its defenses. Why don't you go back to Master Yanlie to discuss with the National Teacher, see if you can select some good mages to go to the National Teacher's Mansion."

Shi Yanlie suddenly smiled and asked, "Can Your Majesty watch me?"

Shi Yanlie really likes the National Teacher's Mansion. Firstly, the National Teacher's Mansion is clean, and secondly, the martial arts arena is big enough and equipped with enough equipment.

Li Congjia said: "It depends on the national teacher."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a familiar voice: "What's the matter?"
