Chapter 326

Kang Daibin shivered for a moment, and answered bravely: "Wang Yingdu, how dare we kidnap the princess? But there are some unscrupulous disciples in the clan, and we can't help it. Wang Yingdu, can you give us a period of time, when the time comes We will hand over these unworthy disciples and let Wang Ying supervise and deal with them."

Wang Hua threw the portraits of these dozens of people over, and said coldly: "Well, I hope to hear good news within half a month. Also, you live in Fengzhou Station."

Even the people were not released back, and they were allowed to live in Fengzhou Post Station. This is a nice way of saying, but it is actually tantamount to being detained.

After finishing speaking, he said: "Let's go."

They didn't even have a chance to say a word of justification.

Kang Daibin and the others were helpless.The Scarlet Battalion has a characteristic, or Wang Hua has a characteristic, that he likes to use actual combat instead of military training, but now that the Turks and the Tang Dynasty have reached a friendly agreement, Wang Hua can't find someone for military training.

Now that the princess is missing, if Wang Hua must push this case to the nine surnames and use battle as a substitute for training, then no matter which surname he chooses to attack, it will be a disaster for this surname.

Although he would go beyond the rules in doing so, some officials even impeached him.But with the shocking case of the princess missing, it's not too much to do.Besides, as long as Wang Hua doesn't attack all the nine surnames, but chooses one surname, which race among the nine surnames dares to stand up and protest against the powerful soldiers of the Scarlet Battalion?

He stayed in the station obediently, and at the same time sent people to immediately search for the whereabouts of these dozen people.

But a few days later, something happened again, which made them panic.

The cause of this matter has nothing to do with them, but a sudden imperial decree issued by the imperial court.

According to the imperial decree, because all the ministries in the northwest have settled down, Lao Wu decreed that the Xueziying immediately rush to the triangle area of ​​Shanzhou, Shancheng (Xining) and Hezhou, which is not far from Dafeichuan where the Tang army was defeated. .

Wang Hua understood this imperial decree. Now that the northwest and northeast are safe and sound, the remaining enemies of the Tang Dynasty are Khitan, Xibu and Tubo.But now the Khitan people and the Xibu people belong to the place where the East Turks ruled. If they do not challenge the Tang Dynasty, I believe they will not take the initiative to pick the side.

Then the rest is Tubo, and Tang Chao felt helpless for a while silently, but Tang Chao still regards Tubo people as the number one enemy.

If the bloody battalion arrives in Shancheng, it will be a powerful threat to the Tubo people. Not long after Tubo Xin Zanpu succeeded to the throne, and after several recent defeats by the Tang Dynasty army, Lun Zanpo brought a part of Tubo The people surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, which caused a partial split in Tubo, and the Tubo people were at a time when they were weak.

If I have a way to make the Tubo people bow their heads again and surrender to the Tang Dynasty, then Wu Zetian will create a prosperous age in Kaibian, which will also be of great benefit to the consolidation of her position.

Lao Wu issued this order, perhaps because of this idea, but Wang Hua smelled something unusual from it.

Because he has not yet reached the point of being pivotal, the wheel of history is still moving according to great inertia except for partial changes.

The Shenlong coup is about to start, and now that my army has reached Shanzhou, it is getting farther and farther away from Luoyang. For some people, the coup has begun to benefit.Otherwise, even if they stayed in Toyosu, they would still be stuck in their throats.

Maybe now my big brother is staying in a secret room, and he is discussing with Li Dan, Princess Taiping and some fellow party members about plotting chaos.

Wang Hua suddenly thought of another thing, why Li Dan called Li Xuejun back.Only when Li Xuejun went back did Li Chiying lack the most important protection.I believe that with this ice beauty with high martial arts skills in Toyosu, this incident will not happen.

Also, the timing of this imperial decree was not right. If it was early, maybe he would go to Tubo by himself, and the army would dispatch him. Li Chiying stayed in the army, and there was no way to "kidnap".If it was too late, Lao Wu would be hesitant when he heard the news, and he couldn't do without Tubo.

It's Li Dan again! ! !

What the hell are you going to do? ?

After receiving the imperial edict, Wang Hua looked to the south with anger in his eyes.

He wrote a reply in which he stated the news of Li Chiying's disappearance, and at the same time said that the matter might be related to Zhaowu's nine surnames, so he could not leave Fengzhou.Moreover, it is the severe winter, and the army needs a lot of supplies. The weather is not easy to supply, and it is even more difficult to march.And running Tubo is not a one-day job, why can't we wait until spring to open.

But at the end of the letter, it was written cryptically that it was not the minister who did not obey the imperial edict. If he did not even follow His Majesty's imperial edict, the minister would have objected.I just feel that this edict may be planned by someone with a heart, please pay attention to it, Your Majesty.

Not only rejected the imperial decree, but also ordered the army to be dispatched, and the blood camp was divided into three parts. The first part was led by Guo Qianguan, and arrived in Shuozhou with [-] people from the left camp of the blood camp.The second part was led by Xue Song to Suizhou.He brought the Chinese army to Xiazhou.

The name is to coerce Jiuxing to hand over the murderer.

But when Mo Hegan saw this order, he muttered, "Wang Zhongying, this is not good."

I didn't say anything else, but Wang Hua's deployment of the army this time has a strong political meaning. After crossing the Yellow River, the three troops stayed in Sanzhou, which not only brought them closer to Luoyang, because the distribution of the three troops can be from Cross over the end of Luliang Mountain and enter Luoyang from the east of the river, or go south from Yanzhou and enter Luoyang from Tongguan.But the possibility of the latter is extremely small, because Tongguan is a natural danger, so it is estimated that Wang Hua will not choose it.Otherwise, he would not have sent troops to Shuozhou.

This is to think that when the country changes, Wang Hua wants to bring the army to participate at any time.

Wang Hua glared at him. After getting along for nearly a year, Mo Heqian also knew Wang Hua's temper, and knew that he couldn't be persuaded, so he left with a sigh.

Until Jiang Mingwei, the military supervising envoy, remained silent all the time.

However, the chiefs and chiefs of the nine surnames did not know Wang Hua's intentions, so they went to Wang Hua's residence to intercede, but were rejected by Wang Hua.They ran back to the post station one by one, cursing all eighteen generations of Wang Hua's ancestors, and of course they only scolded secretly.

Then they sent people again to urge the clansmen to find out the dozen or so barbarians.

The army quickly mobilized. In fact, after so many days, Wang Hua had lost the confidence and hope to find Li Chiying back.In addition, now he thinks that Li Dan planned it. With Li Dan's ability and power, he wants to secretly send Li Chiying out, and he can't stop it.Unless I can accurately get Li Chiying's whereabouts.

At the same time, a major event happened in the capital.

Because Wu Zetian was seriously ill, she seldom managed politics, and even the prime minister could not see her for a month, and only the Zhang brothers served her.

In the twelfth lunar month, Empress Wu Zetian's illness slowed down a bit, and when she returned to the early court, Cui Xuanwei remonstrated: "The crown prince and the prime minister are benevolent friends and filial friends, and they are full of soup and medicine. The palace is strictly forbidden, and outsiders should not come in and out."

It means that if your old man has one in case, and the second is in the palace, something unexpected will happen.At this time, you can only let Li Dan and Li Xian serve by your side, so that people can feel at ease.

Very reserved, Lao Wu didn't get angry, and said: "Deqing is kind."

But still the same.

But when Erzhang saw Lao Wu's sick look, he didn't even think about bed affairs, and began to worry, and began to plan, forming a party to help prevent accidents from happening.At the same time, Mi Yin Wang Hua led the troops of the Blood Character Battalion back to Luoyang to defend the capital.

After hearing their memorial, the ministers objected together.Either the Scarlet Battalion hadn't stayed in the capital, and the camp was reorganized twice, or they stayed in Xijing to select candidates and conduct preliminary training.But now the Scarlet Battalion has successfully formed a battalion. They use the best weapons and armor of the Tang Dynasty and gather the best soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.Good steel is used on the edge of the knife. Such an army is not placed at the border to shock the enemy, but stays in the key areas of Gyeonggi and wears down their spirit. What is this for?

After hearing this, Wu Zetian smiled and said nothing, and did not express his opinion, but he did not issue an edict to let the troops of the Wang Huaxing Battalion return to Luoyang.

Later, people wrote and reported repeatedly, saying that Erzhang had conspired against him.Wu Zetian didn't report it, but she didn't blame her.

She and Wang Hua were well aware of the Er Zhang matter, and some actions were improper, but it was for self-protection. When it comes to rebellion, relying on their guts is far from enough.

However, the fact that Wang Huaxue's battalion had moved hundreds of miles south was also reported back to the capital.

Hearing this news, some people in the capital clapped their hands and some were worried.

Li Dan was even more annoyed. He wrote a letter and severely reprimanded Wang Hua. Originally, Wang Hua did a good job. After all, he had [-] soldiers and almost blocked all the roads.Maybe the murderer kidnapped Li Chiying and sent him out of Fengzhou City with the ability, but he was still in the Fengzhou area. If he wanted to send him out again, he would not have the ability.At this time, he should continue to block the search, and sooner or later he will find Li Chiying.

Now that the army has left, it means that the seamless net has been loosened. The murderer must have left Toyosu with his daughter.

After Wang Hua saw the letter, he also replied a letter. The letter said, why should Xiang Wang call for a thief?

After Li Dan saw it, he tore the letter to shreds and said, "Nice animal!"

By this time, the two had officially turned against each other.

Li Xuejun also felt worried after hearing the news.

But with Wu Yanxiu's company, although she has not found any clues about the disappearance of the Scarlet Camp last year, she was able to go in and out of various mansions and heard good news.

First, she was at the Wu Brothers' Mansion, but after failing to find the suspect, she managed to enter Zhang's Mansion.But because the Zhang brothers knew that she was Sima Chengzhen's first apprentice, they had always taken precautions against her, and they didn't go deep.

So she decided to lurk Zhang Changzong's mansion Shangli late at night, just in time to hear Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong talking.

When Zhang Changzong was talking about Wang Hua, when he heard these two words, a blush appeared on Li Xuejun's face, and he listened attentively.

Across the tall roof tiles, the two people did not speak very loudly, but Li Xuejun had very good ears and could still hear their conversation.

Zhang Changzong was wondering: "What is the relationship between this Wang Hua and that female Taoist priest Yunxiu?"

It puzzled him that Wang Hua and Li Dan should have turned against each other now, but Li Xuejun was still very close to Li Dan.

Zhang Yizhi replied: "It's hard to say what their relationship is. This female Taoist priest was forced into the Wang family by a Taoist priest surnamed Zhang, and it was not her will. Moreover, this female Taoist priest has a very strong heart for cultivation, and I am afraid that she cannot be attracted by everything. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten so close to King Huaiyang regardless of Wang Hua's face. It's a pity that Wang Hua's charm is not enough, otherwise, getting help from this woman would be of great help to Wang Hua."

Zhang Changzong nodded.The matter of Taoism is too mysterious, even he is not very clear about it. Although he has many warlocks under his command, some are true and some are false, even he can't tell the difference.But this young girl is very skilled, and she went to the Western Regions alone, and she also made extraordinary achievements in the matter of riding a horse.After returning to Luoyang this time, Wu Zetian received her even when she was ill.

But it also shows that this glamorous girl has some unimaginable abilities, whether it is skill or Taoism, there is always something in hand.Otherwise, she would not have the ability to complete this kind of almost miraculous work.

In the end, the return of Li Xuejun can only show one thing, Wang Hua is useless to capture her heart, otherwise Wang Hua would not let her get close to Wu Yanxiu.Although even Zhang Changzong suspected that this glamorous Taoist priest would have other schemes, this method is probably not something Wang Hua can bear.

Also, because of Li Chiying's disappearance, it spread in Luoyang.

It's not Wang Hua's memory, because Li Dan did such a thing before, and even the common people think that Li Dan did it deliberately.

In this case, if Li Xuejun defends Wang Hua, then she will not run around for Li Dan.

Zhang Yizhi said again: "But sixth brother, you have to say hello to King Huaiyang, and don't try to confuse Wang Hua in this critical point. Not only is he getting very close to that female Taoist priest, but he's also getting close to that female Taoist priest." Princess An Le has a close relationship. Tell him to stop."

For Li Gu'er, Li Xuejun and Li Hong have the same attitude, and they don't approve of Wang Hua's relationship with her. No matter how beautiful she is, after all, her words are not right, her name is not good, and she is a wife. Doing so will hinder Wang Hua's reputation.

Zhang Yizhi said this, and she also understood it. Unlike Er Li, the Wu family brothers had an ambiguous attitude towards Er Li and Er Zhang, and they could not be sure which side they were on. Those who were hostile, their attitude towards Li Xian was ambiguous, it would be better to say that they were ambiguous with Webster.

Under the current situation, Er Zhang is not willing to turn against the Wu family again.

However, Zhang Yizhi's words made Li Xuejun suspicious. From the outside world, Wang Hua had never stood in line and was Lao Wu's most reliable and loyal minister.Could it be that he secretly belonged to Erzhang?Thinking that Er Zhang has always been very protective of Wang Hua, and Zhang Yizhi's words, it is inevitable that she will not have this idea.

It can be said that Wang Hua's nature, although it can't be said to be extremely strong, is not the kind of villain who will walk with Er Zhang.

She was puzzled.

Zhang Yizhi said some more words and left.

After Zhang Yizhi left, Zhang Changzong sat in the room and meditated for a long time. After a while, he recruited a sorcerer. Li Xuejun knew him. He was Li Hongtai, and he joined forces with some sorcerers and Taoists to fight against her master.A man of great ability.

Zhang Changzong said to Hongtai: "Master Hongtai, help someone with a divination."

Hongtai then made a divination for Zhang Changzong, and it turned out to be a "dry" divination!

When Li Xuejun heard this hexagram, Li Xuejun's face changed drastically, and after listening for a while, he immediately quietly evacuated Zhang's mansion from the eaves.

Back at Li Dan's mansion, he did not report to Li Dan the two Zhangs talking about Wang Hua, but he did tell about the divination later.

Hearing this, Li Dan's face was first shocked, then overjoyed.

But he did not report it to Wu Zetian, after all, the source of the news was unknown, and he was not convincing when he entered the matter.So after thinking about it for a while, he bribed Yang Yuansi to inform him that Changzong summoned Li Hongtai, a sorcerer in the mansion, to divination and divination, and obtained the Qian hexagram.

In ancient times, there were taboos about many things. For example, the name of the emperor should not conflict with the name. If they are the same, the name must be changed.There is also yellow, which is the exclusive color of the royal family, but the taboo of yellow in the Tang Dynasty is slightly better.The other is the divination hexagram, the Qian hexagram is the first of the 64 hexagrams, the hexagram of the great yang, the hexagram of the Kun is the hexagram of the queen, and the first of the hexagrams of the great yin.

These two hexagrams cannot appear in the hands of subjects.

There is another reason, as Song Jing and Chengfeng Quanzhen of Dali Temple said, Changzong Chongrong is like this, and he summoned the warlock for his hexagram, what is his intention?

This time the Zhang brothers went a little too far, and it was fake to be the emperor, but the minister caught this handle, and Lao Wu didn't ask if it was too bad.So Wei Chengqing, Cui Shenqing and Song Jing were ordered to arrest Li Hongtai.Although Li Hongtai is a capable warlock, under the powerful weapon of the state, and because of the sudden incident, he was quickly arrested and brought to justice.

But Zhang Changzong reacted quickly, and immediately betrayed Li Hongtai, saying that it was Hongtai's words, which has been revealed.In fact, after Yang Yuansi entered the secret performance, Zhang Changzong took the initiative to play it in front of Lao Wu.He also said Hongtai's demonic words, please accept the law.In fact, it was also negotiated with Li Hongtai to treat Li Hongtai's family well, but Li Hongtai must make sacrifices.In this case, Li Hongtai could not escape death, so he had to take the initiative to bear it.

So Wei Chengqing and Martial God Qing saw Lao Wu's face, and said: "Since Zhang Changzong is honest about this matter, he never thought that a warlock would dare to say such a thing, so he can forgive."

Song Jing was annoyed when he heard this, and he retorted: "Since Changzong knew that Hongtai was a monster, why didn't he send you to Yousi immediately, but only heard about it after Li Yuansi reported it. In fact, Zhang Changzong harbored evil intentions. Zhang Changzong was not taken into custody immediately. , for fear that the hearts of the people in the world will be shaken."

After hearing this, Wu Zetian said: "Your Majesty, don't deal with this case anymore. I will deal with it when more confessions come out."

Then Song Jing was asked to press for Yangzhou, and Song Jing was asked to push back the case of rebelling against the governor of Youzhou, Qu Tu Zhongxiang, and Song Jing was asked to appease Longshu as Li Qiao's deputy.

But Song Jing refused to follow the edict, and said: "According to the usual practice, state officials are guilty, high-ranking censors, low-ranking supervisors and censors, Zhongcheng is not a military affairs, and it is not appropriate to be an envoy. There is no change in Longshu today. I don't know why His Majesty let the minister go out?"

Bullish, Wu Zetian was stunned for a long time when he heard it, but after thinking about it, he didn't blame Song Jing.

However, Wu Zetian's retreat this time made many ministers see hope and gave them courage. A great change finally kicked off magnificently.
