Vol 2 Chapter 1335: On the eve of the expedition, search the whole city!


The hundreds of officials in Chang'an City were busy, and the people were panicked when they heard the war. The soldiers of the three armies heard the news, and Jin Ge and Iron Horse helped Luoyang!
The "War Order" signed by Li Er, the ruler of the Datang Empire, turned Chang'an City into a wartime state. 60,000 to 70,000 people were mobilized to fight the rebellion in Zhengzhou. This is not a trivial matter. A. Weapons, food and grass are allocated, and all of these must be coordinated by officials from various departments in the hall. What's more, the military situation is urgent, and the army will be deployed tomorrow, and the officials will be even more busy!
The officials of the six departments of the courtroom now all want to have eight legs. Those officials who ask for leave at home will be recalled. Unless you are sick and bedridden, you will have to return to your yamen duty even if the sky falls.
In my impression, the sixth department of the imperial court was as busy as it is today. It has to be traced back to when the Turkic soldiers came to the city in the 9th year of Wu De...
This temporary emergency war brought a huge test to all the departments of the Tang court, and it was also a good time to test the efficiency of the officials of the six departments of the court!
Inside the Temple of Ganlu.
Li Er didn't have any spare moments.
Throughout the afternoon, courtiers kept coming in and out from here, reporting to him the progress of preparations for the army's expedition. At this time, a special and infrequent person appeared in the Ganlu Temple.
"Your Majesty, all officials in Chang'an City related to the Qinghe Cui family, Boling Cui family, and Xingyang Zheng family have all been monitored by Baiqi. Once they act rashly, they will be taken down immediately!"
This person is Li Junxian, the person in charge of Baiqi for Li Er!
"Yeah! Jun Xian, you did a good job! In addition, you have to be wary of these officials from passing on to the flying pigeons in Zhengzhou!"
A cold light flashed in Li Er's eyes and said in a deep voice.
The Qinghe Cui family, Xingyang Zheng family, and Boling Zheng family are three thousand-year-old clans. Now many officials of the Tang court were scholars attached to these three families. After all, although the imperial court opened the imperial examination, the current scholars are attached to the family. It is still the mainstream of the times. In this case, Li Er did not guard against those courtiers related to the Cui family and the Zheng family secretly reporting!
At this time, Li Er must be grateful to his old son Li Yuan. After Li Yuan established Tang and Ping Tianxia, ​​he has already deliberately excluded officials from aristocratic families from the center of power. Although there is still a considerable part of the court. The officials of are from a family, but very few are in important positions. At present, the emerging aristocratic group of Datang has gradually had the strength to compete with the old family members!
"Chen Zunzhi!"
Li Junxian hugged his fists and walked away.
……………………………
Yunshan Courtyard.
"Lady, are you blaming your husband for letting the iron eggs go to Zhengzhou?"
After finishing all the work in the afternoon, Li Zexuan saw Han Yuxi sitting alone in the courtyard in a daze. He walked gently behind him, bent down to stop Han Yuxi's waist, and whispered in her ear.
"Miangong!"
Suddenly being hugged by someone, Han Yuxi was taken aback. When she turned her head to see that it was Li Zexuan, she leaned her head on Li Zexuan's shoulder and said softly, "Msang, the concubine doesn't blame you. The concubine knows you. It is also for the good of the iron egg. If he can earn a share of military merit, he will be able to make a glorious life! But his concubine has only such a younger brother. Suddenly he goes to such a far place alone, and the concubine is very worried!"
Seeing his wife frowning, Li Zexuan stroked her cheek with some distress, and then said: "Lady, don't worry. He is not going to Zhengzhou to charge the front line. He should be just managing intelligence in the Chinese army account! The iron egg now has martial arts, even if he encounters an accident, he can protect himself, don’t you think so~?"
Han Yuxi turned around, put her forehead on Li Zexuan’s forehead, looked at Li Zexuan’s eyes with a clear gaze, and after a while only listened to her softly: "The concubine listens to the magistrate, the magistrate is the nobleman of our Han family, and we The lucky star of the Han family, Xiang Gong said that there will be nothing wrong with the iron egg, so there must be nothing wrong!"
Li Zexuan couldn't help but smile and said, "Hey! Do you dare to love your grandfather with this ability?"
After making a joke, Li Zexuan's face was solemn, and he said: "Okay, don't be upset, madam, you have to go to see your grandfather and grandmother, especially grandmother, for your husband. After she heard that Fashan was trapped in the city, lunch I can't eat it, I have to go and see!"
Han Yuxi nodded, and said, "Well! That concubine will go with the grandfather!"
"Alright!"
…………………………
The sky is getting dark, but today’s Chang'an City has not become quiet because of the curfew. The six yamen near the imperial city are still brightly lit, and there are still troops or food trucks passing by on the streets. All these signs are all foreshadowing. A war is about to break out!
Correspondingly, in Guancheng County, it is not peaceful tonight because the state capital's army is catching thieves!
The cause of the matter must start from the afternoon when the king's book returned to the county office.
"My magistrate, Cui Taigong will do something tomorrow. Before that, our county government must get rid of the spies first! Otherwise, if Cui Taigong's major incident is broken, we may not be saved!"
The prince’s book came to Houya and found Cui Yong, the magistrate of Guancheng County, who was drinking tea and listening to the song, a distant relative of the Cui family.
Hearing the words, Cui Yong narrowed his eyes and said, "Huh? What does the king's book mean? There are spies in the county office? Who?"
The Lord's Book looked around, Cui Yong waved his hand impatiently: "It's all right! You all go down!"
The maids and servants who were serving around, and the girl who had just played the little tune, all retired.
The king's book then cautiously said: "My magistrate, Ye Xiancheng is the spy who hides in our county office!"
Cui Yong was taken aback. He kicked his eyes, swallowed, and said, "The king's book, you can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, do you have any real evidence?"
"The magistrate~EbookFREE.me~ of course there is no official under the actual evidence. Ye Minglei will definitely be cautious when he does this kind of thing. Where will he leave a handle? But the magistrate, if you think about it carefully, he has something to do with the Nanyang Ye clan. I can’t explain the unclear connection, and I heard a letter from a friend in Chang’an last month saying that the old grandpa of the Ye family went to Chang’an last year to recognize his relatives, and he recognized him as Yong’an Hou! You said that Ye Minglei would help Cui Taigong in the future , Or to help the current saint?
And several times before, Cui Taigong asked us to force the people into the army. Ye Xiancheng has always been stubborn and pushed back and forth. Do you think he has ulterior motives? The magistrate, forgive me for Wang Mou bluntly, at this critical time, we would rather kill a thousand by mistake than kill one! Otherwise, you and I will be dead! "
In the end, the county magistrate Cui was acted upon by the king’s book, and immediately asked the head of the county government to go to Ye’s house and ask Ye Minglei to talk to the county’s government. Ye’s family is now closed to thank the guests, and the head of the county government cannot get in. Book personally took the yakuza and rushed into Ye Mansion, only to realize that all Ye Minglei's family had disappeared!
As a result, under the reports, the Cishi Mansion was alarmed. The soldiers and horses of the state capital were in the same county as the Yamen, and the whole city began to search for Ye Minglei!
