Fu Tang

What Li Congjia was shocked was not that some people would be dissatisfied with this matter, but that these people dared to take action?

Li Congjia has always held military power very tightly, and has never given up on brainwashing officers at all levels. In addition, the most elite weapons have always been in the hands of the most elite troops, and these troops are directly under Li Congjia. Few armies can match these armies.

What's more, Li Congjia still has secret troops in his hands. He alone supports these secret troops. Even the Privy Council doesn't know how many people there are in total!

But everyone knows this more or less, so no matter how dissatisfied they are, no one dares to rebel—just kidding, is that rebellion?That's sending someone's head away!

Under such circumstances, Li Congjia must have been shocked when he suddenly heard that someone was secretly mobilizing troops in the place he was about to pass by.

Of course, mobilizing the army does not necessarily mean having any bad intentions against the emperor, but at this time, both Shi Xueting and Li Congjia would rather kill by mistake than let them go.

Seeing that Li Congjia didn't speak, Shi Xueting asked, "Shall I send someone?"

He didn't say what he sent people to do, but Li Congjia knew that Shi Xueting was asking if he wanted to kill the conspirators there.

But Li Congjia said calmly: "No, find a place to camp, stay for a few more days, and then pass the news to Dalang, and let him figure it out."

He knew very well that someone who did this must be worried that they would be kicked out so simply in the future, and Li Congjia is only walking around with some people now, which is a good opportunity to assassinate.

After all, if Li Congjia was in the palace in normal times, who could assassinate him?

It's just that if it was Li Congjia, he would definitely not simply and rudely drive this person out of the court. He was demoted, but it didn't mean that his mouth was sealed, nor that he would be frightened. As an official, you still have enough property to support yourself, and you may be able to spread the word that the court cannot accommodate admonishing officials, and the emperor cannot listen to bad advice.

Of course, it must be dealt with. Li Congjia played the trick of rising up and falling down secretly. Whenever there is someone who needs to be punished but is not easy to punish, Li Congjia will do it.

Just after Li Congjia returned, it was the time of major adjustments to the dispatched officials every three years. At this time, some central officials would be released, some local officials would enter the central, and some local officials would continue to serve in other places.

The whole adjustment is based on the usual assessment, so Li Congjia can make a fuss about it, for example, transfer people who are not pleasing to the eye to the Western Regions to eat sand, isn't it good?

It's just that Li Zhongyu has already made a decision, and Li Congjia will not refute it. This is Li Zhongyu's true sense of becoming the prince of the country. Although he has also been the prince of the country before, he is more often learning from the cabinet. The will of the hand is not so much his meaning, as it is the meaning of the cabinet.

It was the first time for the son to be on his own, and he couldn't tear down the old man, so Li Congjia acquiesced to this result.

But the chain reaction brought about by this result will naturally be left to Li Zhongyu to deal with. Anyway, Li Congjia is confident that even if Li Zhongyu makes a wrong decision this time, the foundation of Datang will not be shaken, and he has the ability to clean up the aftermath.

What's more, when Li Zhongyu made this decision, the cabinet didn't stop him. Now that something happened, whoever dares to "advise" Li Zhongyu instead of helping, just wait for him to go back and deal with these people!

Shi Xueting understood Li Congjia's meaning, turned around and went out to arrange for someone to send news to Chang'an.

After he came back, Li Congjia said with some regret: "It's a pity, there is no boat, otherwise we can go out to sea for a while."

Of course, it is impossible to have no boats on the seashore, but they are all ordinary fishing boats.

Li Congjia has a special status. Wherever he goes, there are more than ten or twenty guards around him. How can an ordinary fishing boat hold so many people?

What's more, ordinary fishing boats are generally relatively crude. It's not that Li Congjia can't let go of his airs, but that the people around him won't let him suffer this grievance.

Shi Xueting was slightly relieved, Li Congjia was still thinking about going out to sea, it seemed that his mood was not affected by the previous events.

As long as Li Congjia is not unhappy, there will be nothing difficult in this world.

Shi Xueting sneaked over and said, "How about... let's go out for a stroll at night?"

The place where they camped was actually quite close to the sea, and the fishing boats were usually thrown on the beach. After all, the fishermen in the vicinity basically knew each other, and broken fishing boats were not worth a lot of money, so no one would steal them.

Li Congjia's eyes lit up, and after looking at the guards outside, he couldn't help but dejectedly said, "This possibility is unlikely."

Since Li Congjia sneaked to the grassland last time, the security force around him has increased a lot. Although it was many years ago, there are still many people around him up to now!

These people are indeed protecting Li Congjia, but more importantly, they are not letting Li Congjia go too far!

Shi Xueting blinked at Li Congjia and said, "I have a solution, but it's impossible for them not to find out for a long time. You write a letter and leave it behind so they don't make a fuss."

Li Congjia thought about it and thought that this could be done, so he directly took a piece of paper and wrote: I went out for a walk with the national teacher.

Then... there was no more, Shi Xueting was speechless for a while, and then went out to make arrangements for his men to lead some of the guards away, and then he walked out of the tent with Li Congjia swaggeringly.

When the guards wanted to follow, Li Congjia waved to them directly: "Okay, I've been busy all day, let's have some food and rest first, anyway, in the camp, is there any danger?"

After thinking about it, everyone seemed to be the same, so they followed Li Congjia's instructions. Anyway, the emperor was accompanied by a national teacher.

Now everyone is not very clear about Shi Xueting's true strength, but they know that it is difficult for three or five soldiers to get close, let alone fight.

The national teacher is guarding His Majesty every step of the way, how could there be something else?

So the two of them walked more and more sideways, and finally broke away from the camp and left quietly.

Li Congjia became more and more puzzled as he walked: "Just now...is that a loophole in defense?"

Because at that point in time, there were no soldiers guarding the place where they came out. This was almost impossible in the camp, and it could only be explained by defensive loopholes.

Shi Xueting nodded and explained: "I was cut out only two days ago. Unless someone in the team is deliberately planning to join forces with foreign enemies, this small loophole is nothing. I didn't rush to remind Duke Qin because I wanted to bring you out. However, after tonight, he will probably find out."

It is impossible for Shi Xueting and Li Congjia to go out quietly for a long time without being noticed. Once someone finds out, Zhao Kuangyin will definitely get back the news. At that time, he will naturally know that there is something wrong with the defensive measures he has set up.

As for whether he will be so scared that he can't sleep at night because of this incident, that's not what Li Congjia needs to care about.

He followed Shi Xueting all the way forward. At this time, Shi Xueting was holding a lantern in his left hand, and holding Li Congjia's hand in his right hand.

For a moment, Li Congjia actually wanted to walk with Shi Xueting forever.

The place where they camped was not far from the sea, and the two of them arrived at the sea within a short walk.

Li Congjia looked at the full moon in the sky and the full moon in the sea, and couldn't help saying with emotion: "It's already fifteen."

Shi Xueting was also standing beside him, feeling the sea breeze blowing on his body was very comfortable, and the sandy beach by the sea turned silvery white against the backdrop of the moonlight.

Shi Xueting took Li Congjia's hand and continued to walk forward: "The fishing boat is right in front, we can't be too far from the shore, so we just turn around."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the people behind him suddenly stop, and he couldn't help turning his head and asking, "What's wrong?"

Li Congjia asked, "Can you row a boat?"

Shi Xueting smiled: "If not, how could I bring you here?"

Li Congjia felt relieved immediately, he doesn't know how to row a boat, and it would be great to have Shi Xueting with him.

The fishing boat prepared by Shi Xueting actually looked pretty good. Sitting on it, Li Congjia found it very novel. He had never been floating on the sea at night in such a fishing boat in his previous or present life!

And he discovered that the reason why Shi Xueting rowed continuously was not to go far, but to prevent the fishing boat from being carried to the deep sea by the waves!

Those who have swum at the seaside will know that the waves will push people and things ashore at very shallow places, but once they reach a depth of more than one person, the sea water there will roll people inward.

The same is true for fishing boats. Li Congjia couldn't help but feel distressed seeing Shi Xueting not stop rowing: "Let's go back, the sea at night is nothing to see, just look at the moon, and..." He looked up and said: "The moon will also be covered by dark clouds, so maybe it will rain."

Shi Xueting did not refute after hearing this. He was also worried that it would rain. He was afraid that the two of them would really not be able to go back. Moreover, this time they came out not so much to bring Li Congjia out to play, but to find someone who was alone. A place for him to relax a little.

After all, he was still worried that the changes in Changle Mansion would make Li Congjia unhappy.

After landing, Li Congjia found that no matter how careful he was, his shoes and hem were a little wet, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "Just go back and change."

Shi Xueting continued to hold his hand and went back unhurriedly: "The time to come out is not very long, at most an hour, it should not cause too much commotion."

Li Congjia was even more concerned: "Didn't I leave a handwritten note? There will be no problem."

However, when the two of them were about to return to the camp, they found that the camp was full of people and chaos.

Li Congjia was startled: "Isn't it? Didn't we just walk for a while, why did this mess happen?"

Shi Xueting's intuition was wrong, they hadn't been away for a long time, and the chaos in the camp didn't seem like it just appeared.

He dragged Li Congjia to a relatively secluded place and said, "Don't go back yet, let's see the situation."

Li Congjia had a toothache on his face: "What do you think?"

Standing outside, they could only see that there was chaos in the camp, but why, and what went wrong, no one knew! "

Shi Xueting didn't speak, just took out a special whistle and blew it three times, two long and one short.

After a while, a figure quickly ran out from the direction of the camp and came in front of Shi Xueting.

Needless to say, this must be someone from the Intelligence Department. After seeing Shi Xueting and Li Congjia, the people from the Intelligence Department were slightly taken aback, and then saluted and said: "See Your Majesty."

With Li Congjia around, even the crown prince doesn't have to worship, let alone the national teacher.

Shi Xueting turned to look at Li Congjia, but didn't say anything. At this time, he didn't need to step in and take over as a substitute. No matter how close the two are, they should pay attention to their status in front of outsiders.

Li Congjia was stunned for a moment before he understood what he meant, and asked, "What's going on in the camp?"

The man bowed and said, "Just now an assassin attacked His Majesty's tent, Qin Guozheng is trying to capture this person."

Raid the curtain?This is an assassination!Li Congjia was a little surprised, how much hatred?

At this moment, Shi Xueting had no choice but to say: "Go back and find Duke Qin, and ask him to send someone to protect His Majesty immediately. Your Majesty will not return to the camp until the assassin is caught."

The man responded, turned around and left.

Li Congjia looked at his back, frowned and said, "You already knew this would happen?"

Shi Xueting shook his head: "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have brought you out."

If he knew, he would definitely protect Li Congjia, and at the same time set a trap to catch all the assassins. It is a very serious matter for someone to assassinate the emperor. At this time, the emperor's safety is the best way to appease everyone.

Now Li Congjia only has a letter in his tent... Li Congjia and Shi Xueting looked at each other, and immediately felt extremely painful. No wonder the camp is in such a mess. If he doesn't show up for a long time, those people will probably think that he has been assassinated , or was taken captive?

If that's the case, one person in the camp counts as one, and they are all capital crimes of ransacking the family and exterminating the clan.

Li Congjia stood there and began to think about how to deal with the aftermath. He raised his head and looked at Shi Xueting, and then said in unison: "Wait, just say that you knew someone would be assassinated before you leave!"

The two reached an agreement in an instant, and they were very relieved. As for the details... Li Congjia decided to hand it over to Shi Xueting. Anyway, Shi Xueting must have a way to settle this matter.

After a while, Zhao Kuangyin rushed over with people sweating all over his head. Seeing that Li Congjia was safe and sound, he was instantly relieved and knelt down on the ground: "The guilty minister came to pick him up!"

Li Congjia laughed as soon as he heard it: "Did someone catch it?"

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said, "There are three assassins in total, all of them have been caught."

Li Congjia nodded: "Then go back."

Zhao Kuangyin hesitated: "I'm afraid...it's not safe."

Li Congjia sneered: "There are so many soldiers still in the camp, could it be that they are all traitors? Let's go, with Tiance Mansion here, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Since Li Congjia insisted, then Zhao Kuangyin is not easy to object, it is really... not to let Li Congjia go back, he doesn't know where to arrange Li Congjia to go, the most important thing is that people are panicking now, Li Congjia's safe and sound appearance can comfort people.

Zhao Kuangyin was right. The moment Li Congjia appeared in front of the crowd on horseback, everyone fell silent and breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the emperor was safe and sound, even if they were punished, they would not be punished too harshly, at least their lives could be saved.

After Li Congjia returned to the curtain, he found that the place had been cleaned up, but there were still traces of fighting.

Chunsheng and Taofu almost cried when they saw him. God knows how scared the two of them were when the assassin appeared, and when they saw the handwritten letter, they didn't know whether to be afraid or grateful.

Fortunately, His Majesty is still alive, and it seems that there is no injury at all.

Li Congjia's first words after sitting down were: "Everyone go back to their original positions, do what you should do, it's not a big deal, don't be confused."

After Zhao Kuangyin heard this, he felt a little bad. This is not a big deal, so what is a big deal?

However, Li Congjia's downplaying attitude calmed everyone down very well, and everyone's already tense nerves gradually eased down.

Li Congjia looked at Zhao Kuangyin and said, "Arrange people to interrogate those assassins overnight."

Zhao Kuangyin returned rationally at this time, nodded and said, "I have sent someone to go, does your Majesty have any other orders?"

Li Congjia hesitated for a moment, waved his hand and said, "What are so many people doing here? Go down first, you stay, I have something to say."

Zhao Kuangyin turned his head and said to his generals: "Go down, arrange patrols, and cheer up."

The generals took orders, and when they left, Zhao Kuangyin said with a gray face, "Your Majesty..."

Li Congjia raised his hand and said, "Did you see my handwriting just now?"

Zhao Kuangyin froze for a moment, then remembered the handwritten note Chunsheng had shown him, and suddenly asked, "Your Majesty... really... went out?"

Li Congjia was very calm: "Yes, I just wanted to go out for a walk, who knew that such a thing would happen?"

Zhao Kuangyin was a little numb, and didn't know what expression to use to face this fact. After much deliberation, he could only say that Li Congjia was really blessed by heaven?

But soon, his mind turned around: "Your Majesty went out...but none of my subordinates noticed!"

This is what Li Congjia wanted to say, he turned his head to look at Shi Xueting, Shi Xueting stood up and said: "I found a loophole and took His Majesty out."

Zhao Kuangyi looked at Shi Xueting expressionlessly, you are so capable, why don't you go to heaven?

However, Shi Xueting ignored his dissatisfaction at all, and directly revealed where the loophole was. Zhao Kuangyin frowned immediately and said, "No, I didn't arrange it like this before. There is a small team that will definitely patrol there!"

Shi Xueting looked at him and said meaningfully: "I don't know exactly what's going on, but it's the truth."

Zhao Kuangyin broke out in a cold sweat instantly. At this moment, he finally understood an answer, an answer he had been looking for just now-how did these assassins come in without anyone noticing?

It would be fine if these assassins were very skilled, but Zhao Kuangyin didn't take much effort to catch them, which doesn't make sense at all!

But now he understands that assassins with average skills can come in because someone let them in!

There's a ghost in the camp!What's more, these assassins may have been lurking in the camp before, and this loophole is still there, and it may still be useful!

Zhao Kuangyin said with a pale face, "I'll go check it out right away!"

Li Congjia waved his hand and said, "Don't think too much, the intelligence department has not got any news, don't you know it's normal?"

While talking, he glanced at Shi Xueting with a smile, Shi Xueting was quite helpless, the members of the intelligence department are all human, okay?In this state of progress, it is not so easy to take care of all aspects!

However, he has to admit that he was careless. If he saw such a loophole in the defense in Chang'an, he would definitely think there was a problem. place to think.

Thinking that Li Congjia might be in mortal danger because of this negligence, Shi Xueting couldn't help feeling scared and angry at the same time.

He said, "Mr. Qin, go and interrogate those assassins, and leave the rest to us."

Zhao Kuangyin also felt that he might not be as good as Shi Xueting in this aspect, so he simply said: "I'll go and rectify the military affairs."

After Zhao Kuangyin left, Shi Xueting did not leave, and directly called some people from the intelligence department to do things in the curtain. Not all members are very mysterious, at least the main officials often appear in front of everyone.

Shi Xueting dare not leave Li Congjia's side now, not more than ten feet away, he is very worried what if there are assassins?

At this time, he couldn't help but persuade: "Let's go back."

Going back naturally refers to Chang'an.

In the end, Li Congjia resolutely refused: "No, I finally came out, and all these ghosts and monsters have appeared. If I don't take advantage of this time to catch them all, and run back like this, where am I going to save my face?"

Shi Xueting does not agree with Li Congjia's point of view. After all, there have been countless people with rebellious bones in the back of their heads throughout the ages.

It's just that Li Congjia's last words convinced him, and he hurried back after being assassinated. No matter how you look at it, he seemed frightened, which is indeed a bit embarrassing!

Everyone was doomed to not sleep well that night, and Shi Xueting even stayed up with Li Congjia all night.

As a result, on the second day, Shi Xueting received a message from Changle Mansion before the assassin's interrogation.

The governor of Changle Mansion said that the faint king had been put to death, and now he invites people with lofty ideals from all over the world to conspire with him.

The author has something to say: I made a very rough map to show you the locations of several countries that often appear in the game. There should be no one... Want a map of the state capital of Datang... right?

If it doesn’t work, search Weibo Yunchangge-, go directly to my photo album, there is a photo album dedicated to putting maps, so I won’t post a Weibo for this matter, it’s too rough XD
